I do not own Pokemon, any of the Pokemon species, Team Rocket, or Giovanni. The characters Maya and Jet belong to me though.

Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'd like to thank Dark Ketchum, Baron Von Beef Dip, shadow dragon 04, and GF06. You guys rule! Well, hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

Little Angel: Chapter 7

If You Want To

Maya watched as the little Pokemon opened her eyes, revealing them to be a lavender color. After a few moments, the Pokemon regained her senses, and she noticed the young girl standing over her. The little Pokemon's eyes went wide with fear.

"I can't really blame her…" she thought. "After what those bastards did to her, I wouldn't be surprised if she never trusted humans again…if she doesn't want to come with me I'll understand. But, since she's so young I don't think she'll have much choice."

The little Pokemon stared up at Maya with frightened and confused eyes. Suddenly the Pokemon did something Maya thought impossible…it spoke.

"W-who're you?" the Pokemon asked in a little girl's voice.

Though she was shocked, Maya managed to keep her composure. Nurse Joy just stood behind Maya with a shocked look on her face. Her mouth hung open, and her eyes were wide.

"My name is Maya…" she replied in a serious voice. "I saved you from some Rocket agents. Now then, what's your name?"

"A mean man I'm supposed to call master said my name was Mewtwo, but everyone else just called me freak…"

Maya narrowed her eyes. What Mewtwo had just told her made her remember her own life. To her father she'd been nothing but a freak, though Maya knew not why. She somehow knew already that Mewtwo's "master" had been an extremely cruel person. Hearing how others had treated the little psychic made Maya only hate them even more. From what she could figure, Mewtwo's former trainer must have called her by her species name, much like most trainers did. If Mewtwo wished it, she decided that she would give the young Pokemon a nickname. She'd been called "girl" by her father for most of her life, only being called by her real name when her father was sober enough to remember it. She believed that everyone, Pokemon or human, should have its own name, whether it be a nickname or an official name. She could discuss that later though. For now, she wanted to gain Mewtwo's trust. If she were going to train Mewtwo, she wanted them to be friends, rather then her be Mewtwo's master.

"Well Mewtwo, if you want, I could look after you." Maya offered, trying to seem friendly. "Only if you want to though…it's your choice after all."

Mewtwo stared at Maya for a few more moments before replying, "You seem like a nice lady. If I go with you, you have to promise you won't hit me, ok?"

Maya grinned and nodded, which caused Mewtwo to smile in delight.

"She is so much like Jet…" she thought. "No matter how bad it gets, they both seem to somehow be able to hold on to their innocence…unlike me."

Nurse Joy, who'd gotten over her initial shock a few minutes ago, smiled down at the two and said, "It's settled then! Maya will train and watch out for you from now on!"

Maya, not even looking up from Mewtwo smiled. This could be the start of one of the best friendships she'd had in awhile…
