Chapter 16

Mewtwo arrived in the living room and sat in the recliner immediately as Ash, Mew, Delia, and Pikachu watched him in slight concern at his visible injuries while the custom Pokéball rested on the coffee table. "I apologize for leaving so abruptly but I needed to attend to something." Mewtwo said.

"What was so important?" Delia asked."You look like you battled while out as well."

Mewtwo glanced at her before looking at the Pokéball on the table. "Before I explain anything of huge detail," he said while sitting up a bit more straight in the recliner. "I need to ask Ash and Delia to go in the kitchen or out in the backyard and if Mew and Pikachu would stay."

"What?!" Ash exclaimed in slight hurt and confusion. "Why would you need us to go but Pikachu and Mew to stay?"

Mewtwo sighed. "This Pokémon I have in the Pokéball on the table is one untrusting completely of humans and is hurt." He said cautiously. "Mew and Pikachu can hold a lot more weight in their words about you and your mother than I could as I still have trust issues with humans myself. It is a matter of getting this Pokémon the help it needs and have it protected until it decides to do what it wants while being accustomed to humans that Mew, Pikachu, and I trust as it heals but I do not want to immediately release it in front of humans just in case it reverts to an instinctual defense attack."

Delia put her hand on Ash's arm and pulled him up as she stood. "We understand Mewtwo," she said giving Ash a glare to keep him from saying anything else making him gulp nervously as he had to use her as support to stand. "We will go to the backyard to give you privacy." She then led Ash away as he slightly complained at the movement.

Mewtwo looked at the two Pokémon who were left behind and noticed that Mew, while curious of the Pokéball, did not even glance his way as a sign of her still being upset with him about earlier. "Mew," he said making her ears twitch as she listened to him. "I want to apologize on how I spoke to you earlier. I was just in a rush and needed to get things done as soon as I possibly could otherwise this Pokémon would have most likely been caught and used for human purposes without hesitation." He received a nod before suddenly, Mew started to cry and launch herself into his abdomen making Mewtwo completely freeze up in confusion.

"Pi pika pikachu chu chu ka pi." Pikachu explained.

"She thought I left and abandoned everyone?" Mewtwo thought as realization hit him and he looked down at Mew as she continued to cling onto him before laying his paw on her head making her look up at him. "Mew," he said strongly. "I am a Pokémon of my word and while I may leave to time to time with no real explanation, I would never abandon those I consider friends."

"Really?" She asked with hiccups as her tears slowed down.

Mewtwo nodded. "Unlike some humans or Pokémon, I hold loyalty to ones who will be by my side." Mew smiled before floating herself to Mewtwo's shoulder. "Now then," Mewtwo concentrated on the task in front of him. "Let us release our newest companion." He then used his psychic to open the Pokéball.

…..

Albus stretched from the bed in the room he was in before getting redressed in one of his muggle suits as the speaker system announced that they had made landfall. The color of the muggle suit he chose was mainly a deep green color with light green thin stripes and a blue bow tie with moons on it though he was slightly proud of the purple shoes he had to go with it. He walked out of the room with a smile and arrived to the deck watching as landfall arrived.

"Hey Mister," a small voice said from beside Albus making him look down and take notice of the young boy no older than 7 next to him. The boy had on a simple green shirt with black pants and a tan safari hat on his head, his skin was tan, his eyes were a dark brown, and he had a pout on his face.

"Yes?" Albus said to the boy, bending down slightly to see him a little better.

"Why are you dressed so weird? Why do you have such a long beard? Are you going to catch Pokémon? Are you a professor?" He asked tilting his head.

"My, my, you are curious." Albus chuckled but decided to amuse the child. "I am dressed how I feel today will go for me. It is my good luck charm of sorts. I grow my beard to feel the wind but also to look mysterious. I am not here to catch Pokémon but to talk to friends. And I am a type of professor but not a research professor as I teach at a school to students."

"Oh." The boy said. "Doesn't dressing so weird bother you though?"

"Not at all my boy." Albus said.

"People laugh at me if I dress weird." the boy murmured looking down.

"Then they are missing out on an extraordinary friend." Albus smiled as the boy's head shot up to look at him. "One who dresses to society are ordinary but ones that go out and be themselves are extraordinary. They are the ones that are not afraid to do what it takes to succeed in the best ways."

The boy just looked at him in awe until a voice started yelling out a name then he turned and ran away yelling back, "Thanks old guy!"

Albus chuckled at the youthfulness that was in young children before feeling the boat stop at the dock. He waited patiently as the boat slowly disembarked people on the new island and as Albus stepped on the dock himself, he looked around him and quickly spotted a map of the island. He went over to the map and laughed a bit as Fawkes appeared above the billboard making people around him gasp and murmur as he rested in front of Albus. "You haven't lost your flamboyance have you, my friend?"

Fawkes squeaked at Albus before indicating him to climb onto his back.

Albus nodded before climbing on and they took to the sky, flying only a few miles before a town came into view and before long, they landed by the town and after Albus got off him, Fawkes started to walk down the road of Pallet town and towards the home where Mewtwo resided.

…

Mewtwo made sure to make himself, Pikachu, and Mew as less imposing for the comfort of the female as she appeared before them in slightly rough shape still but able to stand under her own power though she still sat down on the floor to preserve her energy as best she could. "You kept your promise to me." She said to Mewtwo as he took the Pokéball that had held her previously and smashed it with his powers in front of her, showing his truthfulness in which he would not keep her trapped away.

"I do not lie." Mewtwo said as Mew summoned a berry to give to the female.

She looked curiously at Mew before accepting and popping it into her mouth as she looked around. "You are in a humans home." She observed.

"It is the trainers home I had told you about." Mewtwo said. "Pikachu and Mew here are also part of his team but we like staying out of Pokéballs as they feel uncomfortable. They were asked by me to stay in order for you to feel more at ease when you came out."

"Pika pi pika chu pi kachu pi." Pikachu chimed in smiling.

"You want to tell me more about your trainer?" She asked, tilting her head as her eyes narrowed. "I have no intention of staying so why tell me about some human?"

"Because knowing Ash, he'll probably do something to unintentionally stupid and feel guilty about it later." Mewtwo said and, as if on cue, a huge crash came from inside the kitchen and a cloud of flour was seen coming out of the doorway making the female Mewtwo shoot up from the floor, eyes glowing and in a battle stance as she turned towards the sound. "Exhibit A shows this perfectly." Mewtwo sighed as he walked in front of the females vision to peek into the kitchen.

On the floor were both Ash and Delia covered from head to toe in flour though Delia was trying to sweep it up with a handheld brush and dustpan while Ash was on his back with swirls in his eyes. Mewtwo looked at the now less startled female and gestured her to stand by him as Pikachu and Mew walked over but the female was a bit nervous and with a soft look, Mewtwo held out his paw to her and once she put her paw in his, he walked backwards until she was able to see inside the kitchen.

Pikachu and Mew started to laugh and giggle at the sight they saw but what took them all aback was the female who started to smile before laughter erupted from her. Everyone, including Ash who just woke up, looked at the female whose laugh sounded like bells and Mewtwo found himself enjoying the sound as she dropped his paw in order to hold onto her stomach. "They look ridiculous!" She said through her giggles as she hunched over from laughing.

Mewtwo smirked at her statement. "I suppose they do look amusing." He said with a chuckle. "So Ash," Mewtwo had to hold his own chuckle as Ash turned red in the face as attention fell upon him. "How did this happen?"

Delia sighed with a smile as she helped Ash to sit up. "It actually wasn't his complete fault this time." She said. "He wanted to help make some cookies to just cure boredom and unfortunately I stumbled over his cast leg with the supplies we needed before falling into the fridge which held the flour and it fell over onto his head making the bag explode and him to fall onto the floor."

Ash grumbled a little bit. "Still could've gotten the supplies myself." He said.

The female looked at the pouting form of Ash as he was helped into the chair by the table. "How did he get so hurt?" She asked Mewtwo quietly as she observed Mew and Pikachu trying to help Ash and Delia get flour cleaned up.

"He fell into a hole after an argument." Mewtwo said bluntly making the female sweat drop. "Accident prone is something I am slowly starting to connect with Ash's daily life."

The female soon gazed at Mew closely. "That Mew, is she the cousin you told me about?"

"Yes, she is." He confirmed. "Still slightly obnoxious though." He murmured to himself as he remembered the yelling she did in his head.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang making everyone freeze before Delia quickly ran to the door everyone watching her closely as she opened it up a tiny bit and talking to someone before shutting it again. "Mew needs to use Transform on you two Mewtwo's and herself now." She said in a hushed voice. "I believe that guy is here that Mew told us about." She hurried back into the kitchen and had Mew use her psychic to move Ash onto the couch.

"What do you mean use Transform on us?" The female asked.

Mew quickly explained to her about Mewtwo's outbursts of strange power and how Moltres wanted to come back with a companion of his about the power and in order to hide Mew's and Mewtwo's identity she temporarily turns them into a Riolu and Lucario to prevent suspicion and a possible capture. "I'll need to use it on you as well." Mew said to her. "We'll also need to come up with a name for you as well as calling you Mewtwo and well will be a bit confusing to everyone."

The female nodded her consent and went into a corner of the room as Mew put the move onto the female as well as Mewtwo and herself and quickly settled onto the couch as Mewtwo sat in his usual chair. "As you can still speak in this form I need you to remember that I go by M in this form while Mewtwo goes by MT." Mew explained quickly to the female. "It is short for Mystery and Mystic Tranquility."

The female nodded her head as the feeling of being transformed slowly went away. "I will go by Mystique Turbo Turquoise then." The female said. "It is logically to name myself that since your names match and it will be a bit easier to remember for everyone."

"M, MT, and MTT." Ash murmured to himself.

Delia nodded and reopened the door before stepping aside and letting the guests into the home. "Hello everyone," the guest said as he and the legendary bird Pokémon behind him went into the home with the door closing behind him. "My name is Albus Dumbledore and my friend Fawkes here led me to your home."

Everyone looked at the legendary and Mewtwo said, "Why did you come?" Making Albus and Fawkes jump slightly at him speaking.

"I felt a power come from this location where I found you at the center of that power as you laid upon the ground." Fawkes said.

"That human is suppose to identify this power?" He asked looking at the weirdly dressed elderly man.

"That and to find a young boy who disappeared from my world." Albus said making everyone look at him as if he was crazy.

"Your world?" Mystique asked as she stepped forward a tiny bit making herself known to the two visitors. "Impossible." She scoffed with Mewtwo nodding his agreement.

"I don't understand why this power would be identifiable to you while you search for this boy of yours." Delia said professionally as she scowled. "Everyone and every Pokémon in this world has a type of power."

"Yes I had taken notice of that." Albus chuckled. He took out his wand and asked, "May I demonstrate my power?"

Delia and Ash looked at Mewtwo who nodded at them. "Go ahead." Ash said.

Dumbledore raised his wand and pointed it at Ash and Delia before saying, "Scourgify." In seconds, the flour disappeared from Ash, Delia, and the couch.

The everyone stared at the two humans who were dirty before, now were clean and not a speck of flour remained anywhere on them. "What the heck was that?!" Everyone exclaimed.

Mewtwo, after getting over his shock, stared at Albus with narrowed eyes as suspicion grew inside him and, to top it off, he still wasn't fully recovered and this did him no favors on his emotions as he felt a headache start to form. "What meaning does this boy have to you?" Mewtwo asked.

"May I be allowed to sit?" Albus asked Delia and after she nodded, he waved his wand again and made a simple chair appear before sitting on it. "I am searching for this boy because I was close friends with his parents but unfortunately they perished in the war and I had to send the child to other relatives in order to protect him from the terrorist organization that was running around at that time. I checked on him to see how he was doing before the war started to affect the whole Ministry where my attention was sadly needed as I am one of the main leaders there. About a year went by when my monitoring systems for the child suddenly alerted me that something had happened." Albus sat back in his chair and took in a deep breath as the memory came forth in his mind.

"It is unpleasant?" Mystique asked as Mewtwo's frame started to stiffen from the story.

Albus nodded. "I got to the residence as fast as I could, fearing that some of the past terrorists found the child only to discover something more horrific. The child's relatives actually did the harm and hid it well from everyone who even asked or checked on the boy. The time I looked in on him, he was in a proper room with toys but apparently that room was just an extra bedroom for the relatives child and they put the boy in there whenever someone needed to look in on him. His actual room was a cupboard under the stairs and it was horrendous when I saw what was in it. No child deserves what they had done and to make it worse, that night the relatives trapped the boy in a shed in the backyard during Christmas where his power saved him from freezing by sending him here."

"And why would the boy want to return with you to the world where he knew nothing but pain?" Delia asked.

"I would not force his decision to stay or even try to come with me but he deserves to know the truth of who he is. And while he may have made a life here, there is still the risk of the power he has becoming uncontrollable and hurting those around him on accident."

Mewtwo grit his teeth as the headache grew and he stood before storming into the bedroom slamming the door behind him making everyone stare at him slightly bewildered. "I'll go check on him." Mystique said going into the room and closing the door again.

Mew grew concerned and fear grew in the pit of her stomach as she asked out loud, "Who is this boy you are looking for?"

Albus cleared his throat before answering, "His name was Harry Potter but our records show that he was since given another name here."

"And what is that name?" Ash asked.

"The name our records show was the name Mewtwo." Albus said before suddenly, a roar came from the bedroom and the whole house shook as an explosion erupted, making Albus quickly stand up and put up a shield as quick as he could as debris fell around everyone.

As everything settled down, Albus looked up and saw two similar looking Pokémon, who he was sure weren't the same Pokémon from before, on the ground with one kneeling and holding its head while the other was trying to rub its back and talk to it. The one on the ground then looked straight at Albus with furious glowing purple eyes while an unnatural wind was whipping around it and Albus knew instantly that this power that was erupting from this Pokémon was the same power that whisked the one he was searching for away.

His eyes reflected the drawing Albus saw earlier perfectly.
