Virtual Pokemon Insanity

Part 3: Mewthree?

Chapter 1: The First Sign

We were continuing towards Olivine City on Route 38 (as they were in the TV series). Eevee had recovered after I found a whole stash of Super Potions left behind that still had enough healing effects. Let's say me and Eevee never thought that we would encounter that dark presence again but let's say it was how destiny was (or how I'm writing the story).

We had just gotten to a bunch of tall grass when Eevee and Pikachu's ears twitched.

"Something's there!" Eevee exclaimed before leaping off and running into the grass. Pikachu did the same and we succeeded in finding Eevee and Pikachu standing over an injured Spinarak. The first reaction for Misty was her freaking out.

"I HATE BUGS!!!!!!!!" Misty yelled and jumped behind Ash.

"Don't worry. It's too injured to be a threat." I responded before walking forwards cautiously. I too was afraid of spiders but a Pokemon Spider was okay in my book since I had already captured one in the Gold version. "What happened little guy?" I asked. The Spinarak lifted up its head and looked at me.

"Big guy...I accidentally got too close and it used a psychic attack." It responded. "It was looking for something...I think a...human..." Spinarak fainted before it was picked up by Ash. I was puzzled, a Pokemon looking for a human? I didn't know for sure, but it might have been the same one that was stalking me.

"What did it say?"

"I think a psychic Pokemon attacked it." I responded. "You know poison types have weaknesses against psychic attacks."

"Well, as long as it's not moving its fine with me." Misty responded.

"Misty, c'mon, if you don't want to be afraid of insects, at least try to pet it." I said to her. Misty quivered and inched her hand towards the Spinarak. It was a bit too slow in my opinion, but as soon as her hand touched the Pokemon it sent a spray of string out its mouth. Immediately, Misty jumped out of the way and ran behind Brock. I figured the storyline was to make Misty continuously freak out when seeing a bug and who would've seen that String Shot attack coming?

"Okay...good idea...bad result." I muttered. True, I can't even look at a spider without my knees knocking.

"If we don't get to a Pokemon Center, this little guy won't make it." Brock said as he checked it.

"Okay then...we'd better get moving." Ash responded before we went towards the nearest city.

We did make it and fortunately, Spinarak made a full recovery and went back into the wild before giving us a thank you that I really don't think Misty would want to remember. Afterwards, we decided to spend the night there since it was almost past curfew time.

Eevee and I decided to sleep in the bunk below Misty and Togepi while Ash and Pikachu were the same with Brock.

"Mona?" Misty whispered.

"What is it?" I responded.

"How come you only used four of the six Pokemon you have with you?" Misty asked. I had a sweat-drop before shrugging.

"No reason..." After that I heard the silent rhythm of the group's breathing. I continued looked up at the underside of Misty's bed before my eyes started becoming heavy and I allowed unconsciousness to greet me.

Chapter 2: Mewthree and Mewtwo

"Mona! Wake up!"

Around two in the morning I felt something batting my nose. I swatted it before seeing Eevee.

"What's up?" I whispered before looking to see Mewtwo by the window. He had a much sterner look than usual.

"Mewtwo. He's a lot more tense than usual." Eevee whispered back. "Said to wake you up."

"Why's that?" I asked. "It's that weird shadow right?" Eevee nodded. I got up carefully enough not to wake the others. I even got on my shoes and cap before sitting up. I felt slightly guilty about not telling them that I was going to be gone for a while, but I had to.

I left the Pokemon Center with Mewtwo following. He constantly looked around as if he was trying to spot something.

"There you are..." Mewtwo frowned and suddenly jumped at a figure. Mewtwo was in his blue sphere. This allowed him to keep himself from being lashed by a yellow ray. It didn't do much damage and I figured that whatever followed us was a psychic type. "He's stronger than our last encounter..." Mewtwo said to us as he landed.

"Who's he?" I asked.

"Mew...mew...Mewthree..." Eevee stuttered. I felt the hair rise at the back of my neck at hearing the name. It sounded a lot darker than Mewtwo. Turns out it was darker.

The more shadowy form of Mewtwo stepped out. Mewtwo's copy was a lot more like a fighting Pokemon. Its belly and tail were a green color and its eyes were black and ghostlike. Not to mention its ears were elongated and sharper making it look like it had survived light speed.

Eevee whimpered and dove into my backpack causing it to vibrate. The little guy was petrified. Mewtwo tensed and got ready.

"So...we meet again..." Mewthree's hiss of a voice greeted my mind.

"You..." I started. I remembered walking with Misty and Pikachu to find a Poliwag when Tracy and Ash got a fever by the Vileplume pheromone. Then Mewthree showed up and got them pinned, along with the cured Ash and Tracy, to a tree. I panicked and had no choice but to release Mewtwo. Mewtwo was being dragged into a vortex, Eevee and I tried to help only to vanish as well. "You were the one who attacked my friends!!!" I announced. (Gee. It took me three episodes to figure THAT out?!)

Mewthree smirked.

"Yes..."

"But...you should've left it between US! They were bystanders!" I shouted.

"Oh...you think I care?" Mewthree turned to look at Mewtwo. "So...do you wish to go back with our creators, brother?"

"Like hell I will!" Mewtwo growled before leaping at Mewthree and aiming an energy ball at him. The blast connected with Mewthree as Mewtwo landed back in front of me. I figured that Mewtwo didn't want to be used as a puppet for Team Rocket.

"You tell him Mewtwo!" I shouted. The dust cleared and we gasped in shock and astonishment. Mewtwo didn't leave a scratch. "What's with this guy?!"

"C'mon...you know I could learn much from being with Team Rocket. They made me impenetrable to your attacks..."

"Okay then..." I pulled out a Pokeball. "GO FRALIGATOR!!!" I shouted. The gator Pokemon showed up and lunged.

"USE YOUR BITE ATTACK!" I yelled. This would work against Mewthree. He was a definite psychic type so Dark moves would beat him easily. Fraligator's jaw clamped down on Mewthree's arm. The Mewtwo clone smirked and gripped Fraligator's tail before flinging him right at me. Mewtwo stopped Fraligator from crashing into Eevee and I before the gator Pokemon landed on its feet. "That was wrong!" I shook my head.

"I know. He wants to harm all of us." My water starter (it rhymes!!!) growled.

"Well...I hope he doesn't know anything stronger than Mewtwo." Eevee poked its head from my backpack and whimpered.

"No...it won't..." I called out Lugia, and Ampharos.

"Ha...you think they have a chance?" Mewthree taunted.

"No...but we've been training." I responded. Ampharos immediately lashed out with its Thunder-punch knocking Mewthree back a few steps. "Not to mention my rival has a Gengar so Ampharos can practice on it." I added with a smirk. Something struck me. Mewtwo didn't cause much damage and Mewthree said he was impenetrable to Mewtwo's attacks. That was when I wanted to see dawn break and I figured me may have become part ghost.

Chapter 3: Daylight Makes the Ghosts Go Away

We continued our battle. Mewthree seemed to have the best of it until getting punched by Ampharos who gave off a lot of light with its electric attacks. I knew it must have woken my friends since I heard Pikachu and the sound of panting.

"Great...they'll ask more questions..." I grimaced. Mewtwo got knocked back before recovering. The other Pokemon crashed onto the ground and gasped for air. I recovered them and Eevee continued hiding in my backpack.

"What's that thing?" Ash asked as Mewtwo and Mewthree aimed attacks at each other.

"You remember the Pokemon that attacked us after you got recovered?" I asked.

"Yeah," Ash nodded. "This is the same one?" I nodded before Mewtwo hit the ground and recovered before Mewthree pinned him down.

"Fool...do you think being with a trainer can wipe you of your past misgivings at the Viridian City Gym and Team Rocket?" Mewthree asked coldly.

I turned to Ash.

"Listen, I need you to call out Noctowl." I said to him.

"Noctowl?" Ash asked in a puzzled manner. "But that Pokemon is right there!"

"Just make it use foresight!" I exclaimed in exasperation before Ash hesitantly called out the owl Pokemon.

"Noctowl use Foresight!!" Ash yelled. Noctowl's eyes glowed an eerie red before red lights went around. Now we saw how Mewthree was impenetrable. It was controlling a bunch of Gastly!

"That's a dirty trick..." I grimaced. "Mewthree made itself seem impenetrable by having the wild ghost Pokemon stop the psychic attacks!"

"So that's why!" Ash grumbled. "Noctowl, use your wing-attack!" Noctowl flew at the Gastly sending them flying before they vanished, apparently fleeing before they could be damaged further. Mewtwo shoved Mewthree off and slammed it into a tree.

"Just give a message to Giovanni for me. I am not going back!" He gripped Mewthree by the throat and sent the clone flying in a direction.

"I'll get you for this!!!!!" Mewthree shouted before it vanished over the horizon just as the sun came up. Eevee crept onto my head.

"Sayonara Mew-fake!" Eevee shouted. "Come back soon so we can beat you!"

"Eevee, you didn't do anything..." I muttered.

"True..." Mewtwo muttered before vanishing back into the Pokeball.

"Why didn't you capture it?" Ash asked. I felt a sudden twinge go up my spine. "Uh...is something wrong?"

"Oh...geez..." I groaned and sank to my knees in a childish manner. "I could've made it send me back to Earth and bring my memories back! ARGH!!!"

"You of all people!" Eevee laughed. "You even missed the chance of catching a shiny Drowzee!"

"Eevee...you continue, I am going to throttle you." I shot it a look causing it to cringe and leap into the backpack.

"Shutting up now..." Eevee responded before we went back to the Pokemon center. I was going to have to explain a lot to the others. Oh well...we did send Mewthree flying. Let's just hope he didn't take Eevee's comment seriously.

To be continued...
