Day 2 (Morning) - Early morning recaps are the best

Edward? Please, listen to me for a moment. I know that your father can be a little... inconsiderate at times, but you must realize that he only wants what is best for you. Dreams are fun to have, and so is chasing them... But they are not always what you truly desire. I know that this may sound a little odd, but as you get older it is not only your body that matures, but also your mind. What you once wished for will no longer matter, and your dreams disappear with time only to be replaced by new. Until that time comes, you will have to trust your father, because as things are now, he knows best. Please, understand this...

... Edward? Edward? Are you in there? Edward! Answer me! EDWARD!

As the sun once again lights up the mountains in the northern region of Kanto, the temporary stillness that reigned during the night disappears and life returns to the area. As all the creatures among the mountains move on to explore what the new day will bring them, one specific Pokemon already knows what such a day only can bring.

Excitement.

The young Eevee already knew that craving excitement is normal for a Pokemon her age. But what is NOT normal (according to her parents and friends) is the sheer amount of it. Exploring new areas, collecting rare items and annoying very large Pokemon are all things that are far from what any sane creature would do. But while the rest of the mountains' children stick to mostly searching for berries and waiting for the excitement to come to them, this particular Eevee needs something more than that to satisfy her. And as luck would have it, something "more than that" had happened!

Recalling what had happened the previous day, she had already known about the unexpected visit from the unusual Pokemon for some time. It was not the smell that gave it away, but that all the psychic Pokemon in the area somehow became aware of it before it was even there. When they sensed that it had stopped somewhere among the mountains, they warned everyone not to wander around unsafe areas as this Pokemon could not only fly, but was very powerful and probably dangerous. She had not been very interested in any of this until the rumors among her friends started flying. According to Ricli the Rattata, it was one of the legendary birds. His theory was that it had developed psychic powers and was just there to take a nap. Poreo the Poliwag said that it was a Charizard that could breathe fire and ice at the same time, making water! But it was what Merca the Metapod said that really sparked the Eevee's interest: That it was a Pokemon that no one has ever seen.

'A Pokemon that no one has ever seen? I wonder what that would look like?' the Eevee thought to herself, 'I want to see it...'.
Not the one to sit out a potential adventure, the Eevee had headed home to gather up a small supply of berries and fruits before heading out of the forest undetected by her family and friends. Very familiar with the surrounding areas, she started searching for this so called "Mystery Pokemon".

She searched for a long time, not finding a single trace of any kind of Pokemon. Apparently, everyone had hidden themselves somewhere to wait out this potential threat. 'How silly' the Eevee thought to herself, 'No wonder that no one has ever seen this Pokemon if they are all so afraid of it!'. Her spirits were high, but the mountain area was very large and the mystery Pokemon could technically be anywhere. No matter how quickly she moved, she would not be able to search through the entire mountain area even if she wandered for a whole week. And that Pokemon would probably not be staying there for so long. For the first time, the Eevee wished that she had some Espeon-like qualities so that she could locate the special Pokemon. After a few hours, she was on the verge of giving up and sat down on a cliff to eat a little food.

It was then that she noticed a very strange scent. Twisting her head around eagerly, she looked down the chasm and saw something that she had never seen before: A human. She had heard all the stories about them and seen some pictures, of course, but never actually seen one in flesh and blood. The human was staggering up the mountain's road, its upper body brightly read and lower body gray. At closer inspection, she noticed that its lower legs were in another color, as well as its feet and back. She thought it looked kind of like the time when Ricli had fallen into his parents' berry stash and smeared several different colored berries over himself.

Although she looked at him so intently, he did not seem to notice her at all. The scent of the human was distinctive and quickly gave away that it was a young human male. Having never seen a real human before, she was very interested in seeing where he was going and what he would do. She followed him along the top of the side of the cliff. "So hungry..." he murmured to himself. This was not unnoticed by the Eevee who had a very good sense of hearing. She had been taught a few human words in her life (Although Pokemon cannot speak with humans, they can still understand them), and "hungry" was one of them.
The inevitable thought suddenly hit her: 'What if this human is lost? He doesn't seem to be carrying any food, what if he starves and... Dies?' she continued the line of thought, and was struck by a tiny bit of compassion. She was carrying some food, too much for her to eat now that she did not find the mystery Pokemon. She could share some of it, but then she would not be able to tail the human any longer to see what he would do. 'But he might die...' she thought, and got an idea.

'I know! I'll go ahead of him and put an apple on the road, that way he won't know that I am spying on him!' she thought, and as silently as possible ran up ahead to see when the cliff would connect to the chasm. Every now and then, she would stare back to see the human slowly following down beside her path. Running up ahead as fast as she could, she saw that her road ended at a thick forest, and that the human's road ended up very steep, on the verge of vertical. 'Perfect! I'll put the apple at the top of that cliff! That'll be a surprise!' she happily though, running even faster through the forest, past the trees and out into a clearing at the top of the cliff. She then found out her parents' point when they had told her not to be so careless, for only a few meters in front of her slept a Pokemon that she had never seen before.

It's scent told her that it was male, no doubt. What was very strange is that it hardly had any scent at all. She had never seen any Pokemon like it before - It was large, white and looked somewhat like a human, but with a big purple tail. Walking a bit closer, she saw that its face reminded her a bit of that of an Alakazm without the beard, thin and elegant. Her heart pounding loudly, she remembered what the others had said about "Very powerful" and "Very dangerous". But she could not deny the excitement of the situation... A Pokemon that no one else had seen was lying right in front of her!

Her heart skipped a beat as she heard a loud voice from behind her. Looking back, she realized that the human was attempting to scale the cliff and very close at succeeding. The danger of the situation becoming clear to her, she quickly dove into the woods and hid in a bush. From there, she saw everything that happened: The human discovering and catching the mysterious Pokemon, his joyous outburst followed by their first disastrous meeting. She thought that she was going to be discovered when the mysterious Pokemon was released from the Pokeball and stared right at her, hiding in the bushes. But instead of revealing her, he retaliated against the human that had caught him. After the fight, he had returned to the Pokeball and the human had fainted. Still very frightened by the whole event, she stayed hidden in the bushes, where she finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

After finishing recalling what had happened the day before, she knew that she had to choose between two decisions - Either return home right now or stick around a little longer to see what happens. Not one to sit out a potential adventure, she said to herself:

'Yesterday sure was exciting, and today is going to be even better!'

Then the human finally woke up.

"Where am I?" was the boy's first thought as he woke up. "Hungry..." was his second. Giving in to primal urges, he brushed the first thought aside and dug into his backpack, bringing out a juicy apple that he without hesitating for a second took a huge bite off and swallowed. Then he sat quiet for a few moments, not thinking about anything in particular. He looked in front of him and saw something green. He looked up and saw the sun. Everything was as usual. He took another bite of the apple.

The moment he swallowed a second time, everything that had happened became clear to him in a single moment. "The Pokemon!" he shouted all of a sudden, and looked around him. Two feet or so from him was a Pokeball, and by the looks of the red symbol over the "Release" button it was occupied. "I... Still have it?" he thought, and poked the Pokeball carefully. "What was that all about!?" he angrily thought, "My Pokemon attacked me! I've never heard of something like that happen before!"
But as he quickly remembered, he was wrong. He thought back to what he had read in one of his books...

The trust established between a Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon is not something
that is created as soon as the Trainer catches them.
Initial doubts within both Pokemon and its Trainer is a common thing. You need to
show your Pokemon that you are not afraid of it and that you care about it.
A good way of doing this is to talk to it. Although Pokemon cannot speak, they understand humans quite well.
Remember to be honest, and...

"So... Maybe it's just confused?" he said and took another bite of the apple. "It did seem kind of... annoyed with being caught. I should talk to it and make up. Yeah, that's what I'll do! But first I'll look for a way out of here!".

When he finished the apple, he stood up and looked around. "Hmm... That forest seems to be the only way to go. I'll go in and look for a road to follow" he thought and set off into the woods.

Moving through the bushes, he missed stepping on a very scared Eevee by less than 5 centimieters.

Authors Comments: This chapter did NOT turn out the way I expected. The original title was changed from "Mewtwo kills Harry Potter" to "Early morning recaps are the best". Well, not quite that bad, but if I say that the whole Eevee character was not at all planned you get the idea.
By the way, a new character is introduced - The adventurous and curious little Eevee! I actually went and made her point of view of the first day, indirectly making her a part of it. Actually, this chapter should be called "Day 1 - Part B" instead of Day 2, but because I kept changing the script around I will stick with the original idea. Next chapter will still be Day 2, but probably afternoon or something.

The script is a lie, by the way.

So here's the problem: I can't come up with a good name for the female Eevee. First of all, having it the way it is is going to bust up the "e" button on my keyboard. Second of all, I can't come up with a good name... I could whip together a name like "Silvius" or "Hetana", but where's the fun in that? If you got any good name suggestion for a female Eevee, tell me in a review!

So that wraps up the authors comments. Now for some Mewtwo: Caught!? Trivia and review responses.

Trivia

1. The chapter's title is derived from the song "Early morning dreams come true" by Pete Townshend. It's a nice song.
2. The reason why there are almost no Pokemon in these first chapters is because they were all hiding from Mewtwo. Just a clarification CoughcoverupstoryCough
3. Apple is the main source of food in the "Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon" games, and because you don't really feed those poor creatures in the other games I went with that. They probably eat fruit too.
4. Edward is named after one of Kayak's singers, Edward Reekers.

Review Respose

"I like the amount of details in this story :)"- That's good. Just tell me if it gets overly detailed.

":chuckle: An evolved Persian?! I mean come on!
Okay, this looks good. Looking forward to seeing more."- There's a reason for the evolved Persian thing. Now I basically spoiled the entire story, so no more on that! But when you think about it, it's white... It's a cat... It's big... Why NOT an evolved Persian?

Until the next time, Sa-yo-na-ra!
