Little Angel: Chapter 2

Escape

Pain wracked the little Mewtwo's body. Her blue tail twitched weakly as she heard the whip crack across her back and felt the searing pain. Since her awakening a few hours ago, her "master" had forced her to train with her psychic powers in an arena inside his headquarters in Viridian city. Powers she barely knew anything about. Whenever she did something wrong, or made a mistake in her training, the Rocket agent who was training her would crack the whip against her back again, causing the toddler-aged Pokemon to fall over in pain.

"Why are they so mean to me? Why are they hurting me? What's a freak?" she kept wondering over and over again as the whip cracked over her back again.

Feeling too weak to rise up again, the little clone Pokemon lay on the floor, wishing someone would come and stop the hurting. Apparently thinking that the little clone wasn't going to be getting up anytime soon, the Rocket agent went and sat down on a nearby chair. A few minutes later, the agent fell asleep in the chair. Seeing that her "trainer" had fallen asleep, the little Mewtwo stood up weakly and looked around. Noticing the door on the other side of the arena, the Pokemon made her way over to the iron doors. Reaching up with her three-fingered hands, the little Pokemon pulled on the doors, slowly pulling open the doors. Finally, when she'd opened the doors wide enough, the little Pokemon looked outside the door. She saw the starry night sky and full moon glowing up in the darkness. Walking quietly outside, the little Pokemon limped down an alleyway, and into the quiet city…

Maya's motel room

Maya lay on her motel bed. So far this motel had not impressed her much. The bed smelled like mold, and she'd found some unknown moldy food in the kitchen that looked like it'd come from the jungle. Also, she could have sworn that she'd heard a car crash, and a woman scream in the distance.

"Definitely not your 5-star motel..." Maya thought to herself.

Finally, feeling restless, Maya decided to go for a walk in the moonlight. Picking up her room key and slipping it into her pocket, Maya locked her room, and quietly walked downstairs. Once she was outside, she stretched her arms, and took a deep breath of the cool, night air. Knowing that there were usually a few crooks around, she always carried a small switchblade in her pocket, just in case. She'd had too many occasions where punks had tried to jump her. She then began walking down the streets, enjoying the sounds of the night…

Team Rocket headquarters

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SHE'S GONE!" Giovanni screamed at the agent before him. "I ASK YOU TO DO ONE SIMPLE TASK, AND YOU LOSE HER!

"I-it wasn't my fault s-sir…" the agent who had been training the young Mewtwo stammered. "S-she just disappeared…"

"WELL, GET THE OTHER AGENTS READY, GO AND FIND HER! IF YOU LOSE HER, I'LL PERSONALLY TURN YOU INTO A RUG FOR MY POKEMON TO STOMP ON!" the Rocket leader yelled angrily.

The Rocket leader nodded quickly, and ran from the room. He and the other agents would find the little freak if their lives depended on it.

"And it sounds like they do…" the agent thought to himself as he ran to get the team ready.
