Mewtwo's Island:

After hours of flight on Charizard, Ash finally spotted the island he was looking for, it appeared to be a giant, abandoned iron castle, but Ash knew better. Although Mewtwo erased the memory at first, it came back to him at a later date, sometime during his Sinnoh journey.

Just as Charizard was about to land, he stopped dead in his tracks, they couldn't move.

"Who do you think you are?!", a voice full of power spoke from the shadows.

"Don't you remember an old friend Mewtwo?", replied Ash smiling.

"Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, how nice to see you again, how did you find this place? No, never mind, what are you doing here?", asked the confused psychic cat, moving Charizard and Ash to the floor before letting go of the psychic field he had put them in.

"I'll tell you when we are inside", Ash replied, walking into the banquet hall, "Charizard, thank you, have a rest".

Ash then threw his other pokemon out of their balls, together with Charizard they went to have a look around, Snorlax looking at the food hungrily.

Meanwhile At Oak's Laboratory:

Professor Oak turned when he heard his door open, "Hello Delia, how are you doing after yesterday?", he asked concerned. The state she had been in yesterday, after chasing those who betrayed her son out of her house, she hadn't known what they were going to do.

"It hurts Sampson, to think they could do that to my baby, their friend. I just can't understand", she replied downcast, she looked like she hadn't slept yet.

"I tried to get his pokemon for him, as I had overheard Tracey encouraging the pokemon into siding with him. For some reason, that I cant fathom, they listened, well most of them did. It's a mystery, Ash treated them as more then friends, like a family, but they just turned their backs on him", Professor Oak confided.

"It's not your fault Sampson, nor is it mine, I just hope he comes home now and again", Delia replied, looking out into the distance.

Back on Mewtwo's Island:

"How anyone could think you are a bad trainer is laughable, I mean look at your Charizard. I can sense its power from here, its a lot stronger then when it battled me four years ago", Mewtwo spoke, floating angrily.

"Speaking of four years ago, how are the clones?", Ash asked, "I get the feeling Charizard wants a rematch with his cloned sister".

"They are doing well, but seeing these new pokemon, would they consent to being cloned?", the psychic cat replied, "As for the rematch, you'll have to talk to her"

"Guys!", Ash called, "Could you come over here please?"

His pokemon came over to him, curious to why, "When I first met Mewtwo here, he cloned my current pokemon, would you let me clone you too?" Ash asked.

His pokemon agreed and within minuets his pokemon were playing with a copy of themselves, I was adorable to see.

"Do you mind if I stay here for awhile? I have some things to think through", Ash asked his psychic companion.

"I have no objections with that, I would like to hear some stories of your journey after you left", Mewtwo replied.

6 Months Later:

In the last six months, a lot had changed on the island, for one Mewtwo had spend a lot of time terraforming the island, he and his clones had been travelling for the past few years, but had decided to settle down with his cloned pokemon, the island had now become five time bigger with gardens and caverns for the clones and Ash's pokemon.

As for Ash, as he had never gone to trainer's school properly, he had never learnt much about the pokemon themselves. He decided to do some deep research on abilities, stats, team composition, he was evolving as a trainer.

He spent hours at the computers in the lab, partially used for cloning, it had loads of information on the pokemon themselves, having dexter helped, inserting it into a slot on the computer allowed him to add the data from all the pokemon he had scanned throughout the five regions he had visited to the database, there were loads of pokemon missing but it was a start.

Pokemon weren't the only things being researched, as he had taken in interest in the evil teams that had plagued his journeys;

Rocket, found primally in Kanto and Johto, he had been followed by a few throughout all five Regions. Obsessed with stealing strong pokemon.

Magma and Aqua, found solely in the Hoenn Region, obsessed with expanding the land and sea, as well as Groudon and Kyogre.

Galactic, obsessed with trying to remake the world using Giratina.

Plasma, waging war against those who use pokemon, by... using pokemon. They think people shouldn't use pokemon at all.

Thinking back he hadn't really put any thought into stopping them for good, but maybe he should look into taking them out, maybe he should get in touch with Looker?

There were a few new additions to the island, first of whom was the original Nurse Joy, who had, at some point remembered what had happened and had expressed wanting to go back, after arriving she struck up a friendship with Mewtwo and he had allowed her to stay, she makes sure the clones are healthy and orders the food for the pokemon.

The other new occupants of the island, were Team Rocket;

Flashback Two Months Ago:

Ash was relaxing in the garden with Bayleef, he had been awake for 18 hours researching, he had drifted of to sleep leaning on his loving grass type, when a crash could be heard not 20 feet away for him. Ash jolted awake and jumped to his feet, nearly instantly Infernape appeared next to him.

"Where are we?", a familer female voice shouted out, the woman crawling out of the blazing balloon's basket.

"It looks like a garden", a male voice spoke, limping towards the woman.

"Looks like your eyes still work James", spoke a yellowish cat.

"Team Rocket? What happened to you?", Ash asked, concerned for the trio, they had crashed before but they looked a lot more injured then just a crash.

"Twerp! What are you doing here?", Jessie asked confused.

"I live here, don't you remember this place?", he tried to remind them.

"Nope", the trio replied.

"Come sit down and tell me why you are here", Ash told them.

"Well, we were called to Giovanni's office, when we arrived we were told that Team Rocket had no more use to them any more, and that we knew to much to be fired, execution is what they had planned", Jessie started,

James picked it up from there, sensing how it was effecting his partner, "We knew we had to get out of there ASAP, so we ran, we escaped through a lab, but before we left we decided we couldn't leave our pokemon behind, that decision nearly cost us our lives, as it is, we lost Wobbuffet, he shielded us from the attacks of the others so we had time to collect our friends"

Now Ash understood why Jessie was so effected by it, "I'm sorry Jessie, Wobbuffet was a good pokemon, he was strong and brave, but think about it, he could reflect back attacks so he is a useful pokemon, he should still be alive at the least", he tried to soothe the older woman.

"Thanks Twerp, bu-", Jessie was cut off.

"Ash, come on, we have known each other for five years now, use my name", ash smiled at the former Rockets, they smiled back.
