The Meeting
Darkness was all that the pokemon could see beyond the steel bars of its cage. It lay motionless on the cold floor of its enclosure. The small, furry creature picked up its head as it heard lumbering footsteps draw near its cage. Suddenly a gloved hand forced its way into the cage and picked up the squirming pokemon hastily. The pokemon fought back pitifully, but it was no use. The gloved hand quickly shoved the creature into a bag and knotted the top. The animal struggled inside the bag as the human walked. All the pokemon's attempts to escape were futile. All it could do was wait.
Mewtwo carefully examined the rock he was holding, and then threw it into the dark, motionless river that winded slowly through the cave. After staring at the ripples on the surface of the river, he slowly walked over to a large, flat rock that served as his chair and sat down. He drummed his paw against the hard surface of the rock.

Mewtwo heard loud whooshing noises that sounded a lot like wings flapping. Zubats aren't that large, and neither are golbats. I wonder what could be making that noise…
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a massive dragonite burst onto the scene, nearly causing Mewtwo to fall flat on his face.
"Gaaah!! You scared me! What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in months! What brings you here to the Unknown dungeon?"
The dragonite brushed off its scales and stood up quickly.
"You are invited to attend a meeting held by the legendary pokemon. They did not tell me the details of the meeting, but they strongly urge you to come. They mentioned that 'You would be actually be interested about this one."
Mewtwo rolled his eyes, remembering how boring the last meeting was. Topics such as "How to avoid trainers in the wild" didn't exactly strike his fancy, especially when hardly anyone came into the Unknown dungeon anyway. That wasn't the first time he had heard, "You would be actually be interested about this one." Nevertheless, Dragonite's worried eyes convinced him otherwise.
"Fine then. Let everyone know I'm coming."
The creature sat quivering in a new cage. The only difference with this one is that it could actually see outside. Humans in white lab coats with the letter "R" printed on the pocket scurried around outside the cage and computer screens flashed on and off. The pokemon watched as one computer screen showed a animated picture of a rattata slowly turning into a –
All of a sudden, another gloved hand shoved its way into the cage and grabbed the pokemon before it had the chance to even cry out. The animal dropped down into a clear box with a strange, twisted-looking mechanical arm hanging down from the top.
A man strolled over to the box. He was tall, with a short, black haircut and a crisp suit. His presence frightened the pokemon, and it cowered in the corner of the box.
"Now, now Rattata. There's no need to be worried," The man said with a sly grin and an evil gleam in his eyes. " You'll be just fine…"
The mechanical arm suddenly revved to life, and it swung toward the pokemon. A bright red light on the arm's tip suddenly flickered on. The rattata stayed frozen, staring at the light. The red light slowly grew brighter and brighter, and the rattata writhed in agony as red waves of energy rolled through its small body.
Hidden in the wilds somewhere in Kanto, a large group of legendary pokemon gathered in a clearing. Mewtwo paced back and forth, as more pokemon joined the group- including a trio of large birds and a trio of massive cat-like pokemon. Several minutes passed, and then the pokemon formed a large circle. Moments later, an impressive-looking, rainbow colored bird stepped into the center of the circle. Ho-oh cleared its throat and began to speak.
"Fellow legendary pokemon, I have organized this meeting to inform you of one thing: I have reason to believe that Team Rocket has returned!"
The gathering erupted into chaos, as everyone tried to speak at once.
"Silence!!" Ho-oh bellowed.
The commotion ceased.
"I was flying high above the border between Kanto and Johto last week, and I noticed some shady-looking humans walking in and out of Silver cave. I watched them for several more days and I saw machinery being moved inside the cave. All of this seems too suspicious, and I believe Team Rocket is behind it. Why Team Rocket? Because I saw an "R" printed very clearly on the front of everyone's clothing. If the Rockets are behind this disturbance, something terrible is going on, and we need to investigate."
Ho-oh turned toward Mewtwo. " I realize that you have had bad circumstances with them in the past, but I need you to go to the hideout and see what's going on. I believe you have a greater knowledge of Team Rocket than anyone else does at this meeting. You can bring Mew along if you like."
Mew popped out behind Mewtwo and hovered alongside Mewtwo.
Mewtwo closed his eyes and sighed. He remembered his time with Giovanni and the Rockets all to well. Memories flashed before his eyes. Sleep. Dreaming of the ocean, and Mew. Waking up in a giant test tube. Discovering his powers by breaking the glass wall around him with a single thought. Sitting on shards of broken glass, covered in fluids, viewed by the prying eyes of the scientists. Destroying the lab, and flames all around. A helicopter with its blades cutting through the air. Giovanni's offer of unlimited power, ruling the world together as equals. And that promise, broken. If something bad was going on, he had to go.
"I accept."
