POV Rebecca

"That's good," I said.

~ Oh ... Before I forget ... Your presence here caught Arceus' attention. He is waiting for you in front of the gateway between the worlds. ~

"Who is Arceus?" I asked.

~ Arceus is the creator of this world, ~ Lugia explained.

"You mean ... the god of the Pokemon world?"

~ If you want to call it that ~

I swallowed hard. My God. Of course I was wondering how the Pokemon world was created ... But I never thought I would meet the God of Pokemon. I got pretty nervous. What does he think of me? A human being who had the soul of a Pokemon?

I said goodbye to Lugia and thanked him for the help. Then we flew to the gate where Arceus was waiting for us. I saw it from afar. A mysterious creature that hovered in the air on four legs. On the back it had a semicircular structure in which strange stones of different colors floated.

~ There you are ... ~ Arceus said. His voice was full and dark. I had somehow expected such a voice from him.

I bowed for courtesy, and Mewtwo did the same. He seemed to be as unsafe as I was.

~ You have imbalanced this world. Palkia and Dialga, the guardians of space and time, were outraged. They almost started fighting each other, ~ said Arceus gravely.

"Sorry ...", I stuttered visibly intimidated.

~ But still, you helped my children, I have to thank you for that. ~, Arceus said relieved.

POV Mewtwo

It was difficult for me to hide the trembling of my limbs. This Arceus was really respectful. I was afraid that it would make me responsible for everything. I was a foreign body in this world. I didn't belong here. Instead, Arceus thanked us for saving his "children". Did he mean the Pokemon of this world?

~ First of all, thank you, human. I have rarely seen such a strong bond between a human and one of my children as with you two. You managed to convert his view of the world and made it the Pokemon it is today. ~

I stared from Rebecca to Arceus and back. It had called me one of his children? How could that be? I'm human-made, I wasn't born into this world like the other Pokemon.

~ How you came into this world is not important, Mewtwo. You said that yourself once. You are from one of my first children. That also makes you my child, regardless of whether you were born or created by humans. There are other Pokemon like you that humans created. Nevertheless, they are also my children because they live in this world. ~ Arceus explained. As he could read my mind.

~ But despite everything, I can no longer tolerate further border crossings. Everyone has to live in the world in which they were born. You, human, will now return to your world. ~ Arceus said, looking at Rebecca, ~ and you will never return. I will close the gate as soon as you stepped through it. ~

And what about me?

~ You stay here. ~ Arceus replied at my thought.

~ That means ... We have to split up? Forever? ~ I asked.

Arceus nodded.

I would never have thought that I would one day feel the pain that I now felt in my heart. It was one of the few moments when I felt that I had a heart and that, as people said, it belong to someone. I looked at Rebecca, wich was in tears before me.

POV Rebecca

I couldn't believe what Arceus asked of me ... I should go back to the human world and never see Mewtwo again? Pretend Mewtwo was never there? As if all of this never happened? I couldnt do that! I did not want!

"Can't we find another solution?" I asked, sobbing.

~ No This is the only way. Your very existence here is considered a foreign body by this world now that you have released Mew. This creates anomalies in space-time structures that can become very dangerous for our world in the long run, ~ explained Arceus.

"I see," I said, hanging my head.

~ Mew, take this with you. So at least you have a tangible memory of me. ~, Said Mewtwo and handed me the book with the research on and around Mewtwo.

I took it tearfully and hugged Mewtwo. I didn't want to let it go, and he felt the same way. I also heard it sobbing softly. Back when we first met, I never thought that Mewtwo and I would grow together so closely. And although Mew was no longer part of me, it was as if nothing had ever changed.

After what felt like an eternity, I let go of Mewtwo and turned. This was probably the hardest gear in my life. I walked slowly towards the gate. Before I went through it, I looked back at Mewtwo, who couldn't stop his tears from flowing down his cheeks. That was the last time I saw it cry.

~ Farewell, RebeccaMew. ~, Mewtwo said to me. I smiled and waved one last time before stepping through the gate. When I got to the other side, I was surrounded by a glowing bubble that brought me back to the floor. Arceus had apparently sent it to me so that I would not fall to my death.

I returned to my house, but my home suddenly seemed so frighteningly small after everything I had seen.

I couldn't sleep that night. I just rolled back and forth. The separation from Mewtwo hurt too much because I knew it was forever.

But then suddenly I heard his voice: ~ Rebecca, can you hear me? ~

I was sitting straight in bed.

"Mewtwo?" I looked around, confused. But there was nobody in my room.

~ It took a lot of strength, but apparently I can reach your mind through time and space. ~

I smiled: "Then we are not completely separated ..."

~ Never. Don't forget I'm your brother. I will always be whatever may happen. ~

Mewtwo could no longer sustain the conversation that evening. It only had to train it for a few weeks. But at some point we could talk to each other between 15 minutes and half an hour every night, despite the distance.

I was very happy to be able to keep in touch with my unique brother, across all borders ...
