CHAPTER 9

Mewtwo's Tears

(Don't hurt her!) Mewtwo shouted at Giovanni.

"I won't," the man said. "If she agrees to give you up."
"No!" Karen screamed. "I will not give him to you! He's mine! I caught him! I won't let you have him! I won't let him become your slave!"

Giovanni slapped a hand over her mouth. "Shut up!" he ordered. He looked at Mewtwo. "There is another way we can do this," he said.

(What?)

"I can trade one of my Pokemon for you."

"No!" Karen screamed through his hand. "I will not!"

"Shame," the man said putting the gun at her head.

Mewtwo closed his eyes. He didn't want to see it. He couldn't bear to see another die in front of him. Ai... Ai... Ai appeared in his mind. She looked so happy.

Mewtwo's eyes flew open. (No!) he shouted. (I will not let it happen again!) He flew forward. (Don't hurt her!) he shouted throwing at Shadowball at Giovanni.

Giovanni was quick. He pulled Karen infront of him. "MEWTWO!" she screamed.

The ball hit her and sent her flying.

Mewtwo's puples shrunk as he watched the girl hit the hard ground... in slow motion. (KAREN!) he exclained not believing what he had just done.

He stopped. He gritted his teeth as he stared at the girl. What have I done? Flashbacks of his fight with Mew filled his mind. He'd killed someone then too.

No...

Giovanni was grinning. "Or you could just do that," he said.

Mewtwo looked at Giovanni. (YOU!) he screamed his voice full of hate. (You did this to her!) his eyes turned blue. (YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!)

"Mew!"

A ball of light came of out nowhere. Giovanni saw it coming and jumped out of the way. "What was that?" he demanded looking around. "Guards!"

A bunch of Team Rocket people came out of the shadows.

"Mew!"

Another bolt of light blasted at the Team Rocket people. They ducked in cover.

(Mew!) Mewtwo exclaimed looking over his shoulder.

Mew came flying into the room followed by Ash, Misty, and Brock. "We're here to help!" she called to him.

The three human trainers sent out their Pokemon. So did Team Rocket.

While the good huys and the bad guys fought Mewtwo noticed Giovanni trying to escape. (No, you don't!) Mewtwo yelled chasing after the man. (Psywave!)

The attack hit the area infront of the gymn leader. "GAH!" he grunted moving back.

Mewtwo shot blasts of energy at him. (I will not let you get away with killing Karen!) he shouted.

Giovanni was quick to retaliate. "Persian!" he shouted. The cat ran toward him. "Payday!"

A mess of coins shot at Mewtwo. The Pokemon dodged and threw a Shadowball at the Persian. The cat took it point blank and went flying.

Giovanni growled and glared at Mewtwo. "You will pay for that!" he nearly screamed.

(No! You will!) Mewtwo shouted. Then he began to charge up one of his most powerful attacks.

Karen stood up warily. Her whole body hurt but she had to get up anyway. She'd heard the sound of fighting. She looked around the area. She saw Ash and the others fighting Team Rocket. She also saw Mewtwo going after Giovanni.

She saw the man was smiling as the Pokemon charged up and attack. Something Giovanni had said to her came to her mind. "If Mewtwo tries any of his attacks on me he won't survive to regret it." She realized what he ment. If Mewtwo tried to kill Giovanni he'd somehow kill himself instead.

No, the girl thought. He came here to save me after all I had down to him. I can't let this happen. I promised my mother...

Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mother," she said wiping it away with her hand. She looked up. Mewtwo's attack was fully charged. "MEWTWO! NO!" she screamed running toward him.

She reached his just as he let it loose. It didn't hit Giovanni. It hit Karen!

(KAREN!) Mewtwo screamed as he watched the girl hover there a moment surounded by purple light.

Upon hearing that scream all the fighting stopped. Everyone watched as Karen fell to the ground. Everyone was silent with shock. Even Giovanni couldn't speak.

(Karen...) Mewtwo said coming toward her. He reached down and picked her up. (Karen..)

Seeing Mewtwo was occupied Giovanni made his escape. Nobody went after him.

The girl opened her eyes halfway. "I'm sorry," she said weakly. "I'm so sorry...about how I treated you...about how...please forgive me...I was...wrong..."

(Karen,) he said. I'm losing her... again...she's dying... I can... feel it...

"Forgive me," she said again as her eyes closed. "Don't cry... I...deserve this..."

(Karen?)

No reply.

(Karen!) her chest no longer moved. She turned to stone in his arms. (Karen! Don't die!)

Something unexpected ran down his face. Tears. She was gone. He'd lost her too.

Karen... Bulbasaur... Charmander... Squirtle... Ai... Karen... He put his head on her chest. Karen... Ai...

Nobody could see his face. He let himself cry. Cry for everyone he'd ever lost. Mostly for Ai and... Karen...

He no longer stood. His body hurt. His head hurt. Everything hurt. I hurt... My feet hurts.. My mouth is dry... Why do feel this way? Unable to stand there any longer he flew into the air. Karen... he thought. Ai... More tears. They spilled on the girls body.

Ai... Karen... He hugged her again. I am so sorry... He cried out as if in pain. Don't do this to me again!

His tears sparkled in the moonlight. They collected on the girl's body and lay shimmering around him. Suddenly a light came from the girl. (What?) he gasped looking at her.

Karen slowly floated out of his arms and into the night sky. He watched as the girl's body twisted gracefully in the air as the light around her grew brighter then steadily faded. She then slowly floated back into his arms.

Light reflecting off his large violet eyes he looked back down at her. (Karen?)

Her eyelids fluttered then opened. (Karen,) he said again.

"Mewtwo?" she asked looking up at him in surprise.

(Karen!) he said hugging her. (I forgive you!)

Karen was too surprised to do or say anything. So she did nothing but let him hug her.

Mewtwo carried Karen back onto the ground. He discovered Ash, Misty and Brock were the only ones there. (Where'd everybody go?) Mewtwo asked looking around as he set Karen on the ground. (Where's Giovanni?)

"Gone," Misty replied.

"Gone?" Karen asked.

Brock nodded. "When Mewtwo was busy with you they, seeing we were all distracted, go their sorry buts out of here."

Mewtwo growled. (Cowards!)

"Well," Karen said looking around. "Since there's nothing else we can do here I suggest we do the same thing."

"I agree," Brock said. "Let's get out of here."

They left.

A/N

That was kinda fast pased. I hope it was okay. I'm really bad at this. I got the idea of Karen dying like that because of Pokemon the first movie and my sister suggested it. When she came back to life was kinda a Tokyo Mew Mew thing. Not that it matters anyway. Sorry if anything was confusing. I suck...
