Arriving in a cave, Libby and Landon helped Mewtwo off of Pidgeottwo as they got the other clones to settle in as Libby sat down next to Mewtwo, who felt weak after his battle with Giovanni. Getting him some water from Poliwag along with some berries that Landon found nearby, Libby tiled Mewtwo's head as he took the water from Libby's cupped hands. Libby handed Mewtwo the berries, and ate them as he felt a little bit better.
Why did you come back? Mewtwo asked Libby.
"Because I can't live without you. I'm willing to do anything to protect you. Even if I die trying."
Mewtwo nodded his head as he looked onto the clones and the river Pokemon who arrived shortly after arriving in the cave. Landon, his Pidgeot, and some of the clone Pokemon took charge protecting the others as most of them fell asleep. Libby left the cave after Mewtwo fell asleep and spotted Landon right by the shore looking up at the stars.
"Hey." Libby smiled as Landon looked at her.
"I used to take you out to see the stars when you were little." Landon explained as Libby nodded her head.
"What happened to you last year?" Libby wondered as Landon looked at her.
Walking away from her, Landon leaned against a tree as he began his story.
"Remember the time I went away on a trip to the investigate Team Rocket and help them disband them? I worked for the Pokemon Intelligence Agency to investigate Giovanni's plot that involves stealing other trainers' Pokemon, and illegally created a most powerful Pokemon of all."
"Mewtwo," Libby answered for him as Landon nodded.
"The agency gave me an assignment that involves me going undercover as a Rocket Grunt. They want me to look up on files of trainers who battled Giovanni and lost against him after using Mewtwo after this kid went to the agency when he lost against Giovanni 4 years ago, and explained that Pokemon he saw was powerful, and evil, and it defeated his two Pokemon that he used against Mewtwo. So they wanted me to go undercover and I did."
Libby continued to listen to him unaware that Mewtwo was listening in.
"For a few weeks I kept my private life private away from Team Rocket. I sent enough evidence to see if the agency can arrest Giovanni and bring down Team Rocket for good. But I was wrong. There was a mole in the agency that was working for Team Rocket. He discovered my identity and turned me in to Giovanni. He took me in prisoner, and gave me a choice: To abandon my agency to serve him, or else he will send a few Grunts to kill you by any means necessary."
Libby was shocked to hear this story, placed her hand on Landon's cheek as he finished.
"You did what you could to protect me, Brother." Libby said.
"I'm so sorry to put you into this. I hope you can forgive me."
Libby smiled and gave her brother a big hug.
"Of course I do. You are my brother and I love you very much."
Mewtwo walked in on the two as Libby and Landon smiled at him.
"Mewtwo, I'm very grateful that you saved my sister from the Grunts. Thank you."
It was nothing. Mewtwo said.
I wanted to protect her as much as I can.
"That makes two of us." Landon smiled as the trio walked back into the cave as the storm hits.
"Any luck?" Giovanni asked Domino as she scanned the forest.
"I got something, a signal from the forest. By the river."
Zooming in on camera, Giovanni smiled evilly as he found images of Landon, Libby, and Mewtwo by the river.
"There they are. Get the Grunts ready. We are going to capture them as soon as the storm is over."
"At once." Domino smiled as she left his office.
The next morning, Mewtwo woke up as the sun was shining inside the cave. He looked upon Libby, who is sleeping next to her brother and his Pokemon. Looking around the cave, Mewtwo watched as the clones, and the river Pokemon were asleep. Getting up quietly, Mewtwo left the cave as he looked at the forest. It was very beautiful in his eyes, yet he wants to share this world with Libby. It didn't matter to him that she is a human, and he was a Pokemon. As long as they loved each other is what's important. While thinking, he heard a noise coming from inside the forest. Sensing it, Mewtwo realizes that Team Rocket is coming.
Everyone wake up! Mewtwo cried as the Pokemon, Landon, and Libby woke up.
Team Rocket is on their way here.
"But how did they find us?" Landon wondered as he rubbed his back as he felt something bumpy.
"Oh no." He said as Libby looked at it.
"We are being tracked!"
Taking the device off of his back, Landon stomped on it as he looked at Mewtwo.
"I didn't know that they planted a device on me."
Enough, Mewtwo said.
All we need to do is to get out of here.
Nodding their heads, Libby, Landon, and others helped each other as they left the cave. Mewtwo tried to use his power again, but it was no use. Knowing that he wants to protect Libby and their friends, Mewtwo looked at Libby as she got the rest of the clones, and the river Pokemon out of the cave and on their way out of the Ilex Forest. Looking back, Libby saw Mewtwo as he tried to use his power to protect his friends. Running towards him, Libby walked with Mewtwo as she looked at the Blimps that are getting very close.
"We need to go, now!"
Mewtwo nodded as his Clones lead by Charizardtwo had safely made it out of the cave and went deeper into the Ilex forest while Landon's Pokemon stayed behind. Libby spotted Domino aiming her black tulip at Landon. Thinking fast, Libby just pushed him out of the way as they heard someone screaming in pain.
Looking around, Mewtwo saw that Libby turned towards him as he looked in horror as Mewtwo saw blood coming from her chest while Landon looked at his sister in horror as well.
Libby? Mewtwo asked as Libby began to collapse on him as he caught her in his arms as he sunk down to the ground cradling her injured body as Libby moaned in pain. Taking the poison barb off of her chest, Mewtwo's eyes began to well up with tears as Libby's life is slowly draining from her body.
Libby, just stay with me! I can heal you! Mewtwo said as he tried to heal her, but his power became so weak, that he can't do anything to help her.
Libby? Mewtwo wondered as Libby began to moan in pain.
"Alakazam, use your shield power to protect us!" Landon cried as Alakazam shielded his friends inside his shield bubble, as Landon kneel down next to Libby and Mewtwo, holding her hand with tears streaming down his eyes.
Mewtwo continued to cradle Libby as she slowly puts her hand on Mewtwo's cheek as tears began to stream down her cheeks.
"I….love….you…." Libby said as tears spilled down Mewtwo's cheeks as he began to kiss her on the lips until he felt her body getting heavy. Mewtwo stopped his kiss as he looked down at Libby, who closed her eyes peacefully.
Libby? Libby! Please come back to me! Please! I love you…and I need you! Don't go please! LIBBY!
All Mewtwo can look is Libby's dead body as he tried to wake her up. Feeling angry, Mewtwo placed Libby's body down as he looked upon Giovanni, who smiled evilly.
"Your little girlfriend had to save you, didn't she?"
Mewtwo growled as Landon did the same thing.
"You will pay for this, you piece of slag!" Landon yelled as Giovanni looked at him while Mewtwo scooped Libby's body as Landon looked back at him.
"Take her body and go somewhere safe. I will hold them off."
Nodding his head, Mewtwo flew away from Team Rocket. Landon looked at his Alakazam as he returned all of his Pokemon into his Pokeballs and nodded at it.
"Use teleport!"
Alakazam teleported itself and Landon away from the scene as Giovanni growled to himself.
"I want Mewtwo and his friends found alive!"
At another cave far away from Team Rocket, Mewtwo sighed in depression as he, the clones, the river Pokemon, and Landon mourned for Libby's death.
I should be the one dead, not Libby. Mewtwo blamed himself for it to happen. He promised her that he would protect her, instead she got hit by the barb and now she's dead.
"You did what you could to protect her." Landon said as Mewtwo looked at him.
"She wanted you to live."
"Pika Pika Pika Pika chu." Pikachutwo said as he placed his hand on Mewtwo's shoulder.
No, I didn't do what I had to. Mewtwo sighed as he sunk on the ground.
If Libby haven't be captured, she wouldn't be in this mess. Thanks to my undoing, she died in my arms.
"Scyther, Scyther Scy?" Scythertwo asked as Mewtwo looked at him.
What she did was out of love. She loved me and would hate for me to die.
Thinking about it, Poliwag thought about something as it ran towards Gyarados.
"Poli, Poli Poliwag?" Poliwag asked Gyarados as it roared softly.
"Beefree, Beefree." Butterfree insisted as Slowpoke agreed.
"Slopoke, slowpoke, sloooo…"
Mewtwo, at first didn't understand what the river Pokemon were saying until Gyarados appeared before him and roared softly.
You mean there is another way to bring Libby back?
Gyarados nodded as Gyaradostwo smiled at the Gyarados.
The Water of Life? Mewtwo asked as Landon listened.
"I thought it was just a myth. The Water of Life doesn't exist anymore."
"Poli poliwag," Poliwag nodded as Mewtwo paid attention.
Where can we find it?
"Poli."
Using its tail, Poliwag pointed to where it is as Mewtwo smiled.
Let's get Libby there.
Landon didn't like the idea at first.
"What if it doesn't work?"
We need to believe. Mewtwo assured him as Landon finally nodded his head.
Mewtwo scooped up Libby's body as they heard a blast coming from outside the cave.
"Go and take my sister's body there. If this works, then I will be very grateful to you."
Mewtwo nodded as he called for Venusaurtwo, and Scythertwo as they followed behind him.
If this works, Libby will be brought back to life.
Mewtwo nodded as Poliwag led the group to the shrine that holds the Water of Life.
