POV Rebecca

I felt myself being pulled deeper and deeper into the abyss and the darkness. I was paralyzed and couldn't get out of it. Not without the appropriate impulse that Mewtwo sent me soon afterwards. His voice suddenly came from somewhere and I knew it needed me. So I tried to fight my way out of the darkness again, but it was just too powerful.

~ Rebecca, I beg you, don't let the darkness prevail! ~, I heard Mewtwo shout and then suddenly I saw Mewtwo in front of me, a bit blurry, but it was there and reached out its hand to me. I tried to take his hand, but the darkness around me tried to prevent it. But I concentrated and managed to grab Mewtwo's hand. My soul shone very brightly again and flew purposefully towards my body. Now I was finally able to get up again and move freely.

~ Rebecca! ~ Shouted Mewtwo, relieved as I stood up.

Sephirone growled angrily: ~ I was almost there ... ~ and wanted to attack me.

But Mewtwo flew in between to protect me. It shone brightly and turned back into its mega-form Mewtwo X.

~ I knew you could be relied on. ~, Mewtwo said proudly and I was blown away. I saw Mewtwo for the first time in its mega form and it was clearly more muscular. Mewtwo flew towards Sephiron and hurled one aurasphere after the next towards Sephirone. I was relieved that I had given him the tip with Lucario to convince his weakness towards dark Pokemon.

But Sephirone did not want to give in so easily and instead of attacking Mewtwo, it continued to attack me. Mewtwo struggled to protect me with a barrier and at the same time to attack Sephirone. Sephirone concentrated to hurl a final, powerful attack on us: ~ Well wait, you cannot counter my dark aura! ~

But at that moment Sephirone suddenly froze. Then I saw Arceus, Palkia and Dialga fly into the cave.

~ It's enough. Take this body with you and leave this place. ~ Said Arceus, looking at Harry Goodman's lifeless body. Mewtwo brought us out of the cave and out of the distorted world with his telekinesis. Giratina did not stand in our way, it was frozen too. My guess was that Dialga von Giratina and Sephirone had stopped time to give us the opportunity to escape.

When we got back to the pillar of the spear, I hugged Mewtwo X with joy that we had made it.

~ Thank you, Rebecca. ~ Said Mewtwo X, then reverted to his normal shape.

"Thank you," I said and heard Mewtwo clear throat, which meant letting go of him. I looked down, ashamed: "Do you feel different than before? I mean ... in relation to me."

~ No. You know I am very intelligent, would I be so easy to manipulate? ~ Said Mewtwo.

"But if even Arceus was maipulated ..."

You know, I don't care if what Sephiron said was true or not. The only thing I know is that I care about you. I would do anything to protect you. ~

I smiled at Mewtwo, relieved, and thought to myself how stupid I was to believe that. Mewtwo had done so much for me, and I dared to doubt that it was all manipulated.

Arceus, Palkia and Dialga returned from the world of distortion.

"What about Sephirone?" I asked.

~ We put it into a 10,000 year sleep for now. As a result, all of its influence is now waning. Giratina is already back to normal. ~ Said Dialga.

"Lucky," I said.

POV Mewtwo

It was good to know that Sephirone's influence was about to wane. But of course I was wondering whether I would be like then again? That I would loathe people again? That would probably break Rebecca's heart because it would also change our connection.

~ Rebecca and Mewtwo, it's hard to believe what you've both achieved. I wish that you would continue to be true to your destiny as protectors of this world. ~ Said Arceus.

Protector of the Pokemon world? That had to sound like an accolade for Rebecca, at least she smiled all over her face.

~ But first of all ... ~, Arceus continued, ~ you bring this body back to its owner. ~

It pointed to Harry Goodman's body.

~ Of course. ~ I said, lifting the human body in the air.

"I'm coming with you!" Rebecca shouted and I sighed because I was about to object. After all, her soul was almost destroyed. But she really wanted to go to Rhyme City again. Which we quickly regretted.

While looking for the Pikachu with the detective hat, I was surrounded. I was captured by Pokemon hunters and taken to a human being in a wheelchair in a high-rise building.

POV Rebecca

Unexpectedly, we were separated again just before we reached Rhyme City. Pokemon hunters shot lightning balls at Mewtwo, tying it up, and then it was carried away in a van. I ran after the van for a few meters, screaming, until I ran out of air. A few minutes later, a little blue car pulled up behind me. A blond-haired woman was at the wheel. Next to her is a black-haired boy and an enton in the back seat.

"Can we help you? You look pretty battered."

I gratefully accepted the offer. After getting in I found out that the boy was Tim Goodman, Harry's son.

"So ... did Pikachu find you?" I asked.

"How do you know about Pikachu?" Asked Tim.

"I am friends with Mewtwo," I said and sighed deeply.

"We wanted to answer from Mewtwo. But then these types of researchers showed up."

"You're going to Rhyme City," said the woman. Her name was Lucy Stevens and she was doing an internship at a television station.

When we got to Rhyme City, we broke up. Lucy was supposed to announce her latest findings on TV while Tim and I ran into a tower that he was the mayor's seat. His name was Howard Clifford and he was confined to a wheelchair due to illness.

"Howard! Your son, he ..." said Tim breathlessly as we entered Howard Clifford's office. Then Tim noticed the strange device on Howard's head and Tim asked: "Wait a minute ... why ..."

"Tim ... it's all good," Howard replied. Then a hatch in the floor opened and Mewtwo appeared, trapped in a transparent sphere.

"Mewtwo!" I called and ran to him. I tried to hit the bullet to free Mewtwo, but all my strength was just wasted energy.

Suddenly you saw that a spade colored gas was pouring into the sphere.

"Run!" Shouted Mewtwo.

Then Howard passed out in his wheelchair, and so did Mewtwo, but only for a brief moment. Then it woke up again but its gaze was completely changed and suddenly Mewtwo no longer spoke with his voice but with Howards. The sphere opened and Mewtwo stepped out: "The transmission worked."

Now I saw that Mewtwo had the same device as Howard on his head.

"My body is in the chair. But my mind is in Mewtwo."

I burst into tears: "How could you do that ?! Release Mewtwo right away!"
