Chapter 2- Starting the Second Try

Mewtwo stood before John, radiating pure psychic energy. "Why did you come here?"

John stood up, gripping his aching shoulder. "I've been chosen by Professor Oak to try and capture you." He took out the Master Ball. Mewtwo looked at it with disdain. John threw the Master Ball, but Mewtwo stopped it in midair with his psychic abilities.

"Idiot." Mewtwo said, using his power to crush the Master Ball into a million pieces. "You should have at least weakened me first."

"No!" John yelled as he watched the rare Master Ball get turned to dust. John cursed and grabbed a Pokéball that was at his belt. "You wanna be weakened, you're gonna be weakened."

John threw the Pokéball and a Scyther appeared. "Scy!" It called, rubbing its blades together.

"Slash, Slice!" Slice smiled confidently and rushed forward, trying to cut into Mewtwo. Thanks to the Scyther's superior speed, Mewtwo wasn't prepared and didn't defend himself. Mewtwo yelled out in pain as his chest was sliced open, blood flowing.

Mewtwo growled and took Slice out with a Flamethrower. Mewtwo grimaced at John and healed his wound using Recover. "Enough of this," he declared, glaring at John. "I have no need for this. Goodbye." Mewtwo teleported away.

"No!" John growled. John turned and called Slice and his Hypno back into their Pokéballs. "Dang." John turned around and walked out of the demolished mansion, calling out Aero.

"Aero, fly me back to Pallet Town." John grumbled, hopping onto Aero. The Pidgeot screeched and flew off.

After a short trip, Aero landed in front of Professor Oak's laboratory. John hopped off and recalled his Pidgeot into his Pokéball. "Thanks, Aero," he said fondly. He walked into the laboratory.

"John?" Professor Oak said as soon as he walked in. "You're back already? What happened?"

"Um…" John looked at the ground. "I'm sorry, professor. I found Mewtwo, but he completely demolished the Master Ball you gave me…."

Oak's eyes widened in astonishment. "You… found Mewtwo? Already?"

"Yeah, he was at this abandoned mansion on Cinnabar."

"Hm…" Oak put his hand to his chin. "John, let me see your Pokédex."

John handed his Pokédex over, and Oak fiddled with it a second. "Ah… just as I thought." He showed John the Pokédex, which had a satellite view of the Kanto region. There was a small red dot over Fushia City. "The Pokédex can track Mewtwo because you've encountered him already. Here."

Oak handed John the Pokédex and another Master Ball. "Weaken Mewtwo first, so he can't crush this one."

John nodded and looked at his Pokédex. "Well, I guess we've better get going." He turned and walked out of the lab. "See ya later, professor!"

John left the professor's lab and released Wint, who walked beside him cheerfully. John smiled and patted its head. Wint jumped up onto John's shoulder and smiled.

"Ready, Wint?" Wint nodded. "We're gonna give it another try."

After a fly to Fushia City, John recalled his Pidgeot and looked down at his Pokédex. It indicated that Mewtwo was nearby.

"Hm…." John glanced at Wint, who was still on his shoulder. "I think you should sit this battle out, Wint." The Flareon gave him an angry look and shook his head. "C'mon, now." John said. "I know you're powerful, but I think this is a battle better suited for Specter. If Specter loses, you can fight. I promise."

Wint whimpered sadly, and John petted his head. "It'll be okay." John reached for his belt, pulling out an Ultra Ball. He threw the ball, and a powerful Haunter appeared with a flash. The Haunter looked at its master expectantly.

"Hey, Specter." John said with a smile. "There's a powerful psychic Pokémon nearby. Its name is Mewtwo. You ready for the battle of your life?" Specter grinned evilly and cackled.
