CHAPTER 8

DECIDE

Mewtwo hovered a few inches above the gymn's roof. He stared down at it a minute figuring out how he'd get inside. After all he couldn't just teleport inside. If he did he might find himself face to face with Giovanni.

How should I do this? he thought.

"Mew!" a familiar voice called.

Mew?

Mewtwo looked into the air. The Mew he'd met on New Island was flying down toward him. "Mew Mew!" the flying pink cat called to him.

(What do you want, Mew?) he demanded.

"Mew! Mew! What are you doing?"

(Something that doesn't concern you.)

"Why?"

(Because it just doesn't!)

Mew started flying back and forth. "Play with me!" she said. (In my oppinion the Mew in the movie was a girl. Please don't be offended)

(I can't!)

"Please!"

An anger mark appeared on Mewtwo's forehead. (Go away, Mew!) he yelled throwing a shadow ball at her.

She dodged it easily. "Don't start that again!" she scolded.

(I wouldn't if you weren't bothering me!) he yelled.

Mew flew down toward him and hovered around his head. "Is something wrong?" she asked.

(Yes!) he hollered. (I'm trying to rescue someone and you're getting in my way!)

Mew gave him a confused look. "Rescue someone?" she asked. "You?"

(Yes, me!) he confirmed angrily. (Now if you're not here to help me get out of here!)

Mew flew around him then hovered in his face again. "Okay!" she said closing her eyes and giving him a cute face. "I'll go! Maybe you can play with me later?"

(All right! All right!) he said waving her off.

Happy at the reply she got she flew away for the time being. "See you later!"

When Mew was gone Mewtwo went back to the problem at hand. I guess I'll just have to go in and wing it, he decided.

He flew in through and open skylight.

Once inside he had to stop to get his bearings. Where could Giovanni have put her? he thought looking around with his eyes. I might be psycic but I can't see through walls. I'll just have to choose a direction and take it. He looked down the hall to his right. That direction will do.

He lifted himself into the air until his head almost hit the ceiling then he went the way he chose.

Karen had been taken to what looked like the stadium part of the gymn. She sat in the middle of the stadium in the center of a Pokeball that had been itched into the floor. She got the feeling that she had been set there on purpose.

Right in plain sight. Right in the center. In full view of everything.

It's like he set a trap and I'm the bait, she thought. But how are they planning on capturing Mewtwo? I own him and anything they try to use he can destroy...

Unless... A horrible feeling came over her. What if they have a Pokemon that can use hypnosis or they have a tranquilizer dart? she closed her eyes. I hope Mewtwo doesn't end up in that sort of sitiatuon. I hope Giovanni wasn't smart enough to think of something like that...

Mewtwo was having an easy time searching the gymn for Karen. For one thing he'd locked all the doors and for another he'd met nobody in the hall. This made him more than a little suspicios.

He knows I'm here, Mewtwo concluded. There's no other explaination..

Mewtwo flew down another hall thinking. Where would he put her? Where is the easiest place for him to set a trap? Then it came to him. The stadium! The stadium where I fought all those trainers for him!

He shot down the hall like a rocket. If she's there that means he's waiting. But what is he planning on doing?

He saw double doors ahead of him. With one thought they burst open and he found himself in the stadium. His amethyst eyes scanned the open area and spotted the girl in the center of the etching on the floor.

(Karen!) he called to her.

She looked up. "Mewtwo!" she exclaimed.

He started for her.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a voice called stopping him.

Mewtwo recognized that voice instantly. (Giovanni!)

The Team Rocket leader stood over Karen. "I see you've come to save your trainer friend," he said folding his arms. "Just like I knew you would."

(What do you want with Karen!) the Pokemon demanded.

"I don't want anything with her," he replied. "But I do want what comes from you."

(What do you want from me?)

Giovanni took a step forward. "You know full well what I want!" he snapped. "I want you to submit! I want you to come back to your True Master!"

(And if I refuse?)

Giovanni glanced at Karen. "I'll kill her."

Mewtwo smiled.

"What are you grinning about?"

(It's not that easy.)

"Huh?"

(That human, Karen, caught me,) he replied pointing at the black haired girl on the floor. (I can't do anything unless she releases me.)

"Is that so?" Giovanni reached down and pulled the girl to her feet. "Release your Pokemon, girl!" he growled.

Karen glared at him and laughed in his face. "What if I don't?" she mocked.

The gymn leader pulled out a gun and rested it against her forehead. "I'll kill you!"

Even though Mew left like she said she would she came back. She sensed that Mewtwo as well as a human girl were in trouble. She wanted to help.

On her way over to the gymn she spotted Ash, Misty, and Brock. Maybe they can help too, she thought.

She swooped down toward them.

Ash spotted Mew flying down toward him and the others. For some reason he could tell it was upset about something.

"LOOK!" he said to Misty and Brock as he pointed at the Mew.

When she saw she had their full attention the little pink cat began flying back and forth going. "Mew! Mew! Mew!"

"What's it saying?" Misty asked.

Mew flew toward the gymn then flew back. Pikachu watched it and understood after a few times. "Pika!" he exclaimed then began doing the exact same thing.

"I think it wants us to go into the gymn," Ash said finally understanding. "Let's go! Karen and Mewtwo could be in trouble!"

A/N

I don't have much so say only that I finally updated and I think Mew is a female. I hope that doesn't bother you guys too much. I'm weird okay?
