Pokémon: Schatten der Vergangenheit:

Chapter 3: Mutter

The next morning was extremely dark due to the clouds overhead. The wind was non-existent, and the weather was decent for a winter morn. In an alley of Nimbasa, Mewtwo resting standing, more of floating, his eyes closed and he was breathing lightly. Itzal was curled up in Annabelle's tentacles, snuggling Coraline like a child's favorite stuffed toy. Both the ghost were sleeping as well, protecting Itzal from the outside weather. It had been a long night for Mewtwo and the boy, they had to retire and the weather last night was horrid. Itzal's stomach emitted a loud growl, waking the sleepy child. The boy rubbed his eyes, and sighed he knew that he had no food left and he also had no money. He frowned as he rubbed his stomach,

"Ugh… I could really use some food…" Itzal looked to Mewtwo, he was still sleeping. He smirked, he might have a chance to get some food without Mewtwo bothering about Team Plasma. Itzal carefully snuck out of Annabelle's tentacles, Coraline awoke and floated around Itzal's head. The youth smirked and whispered,

" Alright, you can come too."

Itzal licked his lips as he over looked a market place, his stomach growling eagerly to get filled. With a swift jump the boy and cursed doll fell below to an awning. Coraline floated ahead twirling and spinning as if she was dancing. The grocers stopped setting up to look at the Pokémon. As soon as every grocer was away from their station, Coraline's yellowed eyes flashed, and the grocers' started to dance as if the were controlled. Soon they started singing, I feel Pretty, Itzal giggled from the sight and went to steal food. After he grabbed what he could, he ran to a safe area and signaled Coraline to stop. Coraline giggled and released the grocers from her psychic spell, who were unaware of what they had just done. Itzal dashed off, still laughing,

"Man! Humans are just so retarded! They won't even know that I stole most of the food!"

Itzal played with an apple before biting into it, savoring the taste. Coraline giggled and twirled around, happy she was help to her "little brother." Itzal smiled back at her, biting into a loaf of bread. A sudden scream made the boy almost drop his current piece of food. He was a little annoyed and decided to see what was the cause of the commotion. As he peeked from the alley he was in he saw a two boys a little older than him in a heated battle. The first boy had short and shaggy russet-red hair and relaxed blue-violet eyes. He was a little more on the thin to average size than Itzal and his skin was tanned and was much taller than Itzal. He wore a blue button up shirt with a dark purple jacket, navy cargo pants, with black combat boots. Around his neck rested a fiery red bandana with dragon fangs adoring it. The other boy wore a serious expression, his spiky, shaggy, dark violet hair covering his sunglass covered eyes. The glasses had gray lenses and brim. One lens was slightly shattered. A black fedora adored his head, and many gray belts adored his waist. He wore a white turtleneck with a black vest jacket. He had a pair of dark-washed jeans and black shoes. Itzal bit into a banana as he watched the two battle. Finally it was the dark purple haired boy who won. The red head merely shrugged,

"That was an amazing battle! Guess I'll have to try harder next time." The other boy scoffed,

"Whatever…" Itzal gulped down the rest of the fruit, not caring about the two, he had better things to do than hang out with humans. Yet… Something was compelling him to urge forward to them. Then, he had an idea, he could scare them, that's what he did to most people anyway. Bongo Bongo released himself and used Shadow Sneak to hide in the shadows.

With a sudden jolt, Itzal knocked the red head of his feet, the other boy jumping back in surprise. Itzal laughed,

"Got you! Man, you should've seen your faces!" The purple haired boy growled,

"That wasn't very funny, you little punk…" The red head merely laughed,

"Man! You sure did! And nice Dusknoir, by the way!" Itzal snorted,

"Yeah… Well, that's Bongo Bongo for you! My best partner!" Bongo Bongo hugged the red haired youth,

"He likes me!" The boy said with a smile. Itzal scoffed, he didn't like this guy already. The red head freed himself from the Dusknoir's grasp and held out a hand to the smaller boy.

"Hi. I'm Orion. Orion Solaris. Nice to met you." Itzal didn't respond, he only stared at Orion's hand. The other boy was not as willing to be friendly. He picked Itzal up by the neck of his shirt,

"What's your problem, kid? You can't just go around scaring people like that!" Orion sighed,

"Kira… Can you put the kid down? He didn't mean any harm." Before Kira could reply Itzal bit his hand, causing Kira to drop him. Kira looked at his hand before his foggy blue eyes glared out behind his sunglasses.

"You little…!" Itzal's eyes widened and before Kira could reach him, a Psychic energy wave knocked the youth off his feet. Itzal froze, already knowing what caused the attack.

"Stay away from him!" Itzal gulped, Mewtwo was seriously pissed off. Kira's eyes narrowed at the cloaked figure before him.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" The psychic Pokémon gave no answer to the youth and turned to Itzal.

"What have I told you about wandering off? Honestly…" Itzal looked toward the ground,

"S-Sorry… I was hungry…" Mewtwo sighed,

"Itzal… Let's go…" Itzal nodded and followed, leaving the boys confused. Kira was the one who finally spoke,

"H-Hey! You can't just walk off!" Itzal turned back and looked at his master of sorts. Mewtwo glared, but continued on. The white haired boy followed his head hanging low. Orion and Kira watched silently as the duo continued on their way.

"While you were busy goofing off… I have spotted our enemy once more." Itzal nodded, a question on his mind,

"Kay… But…" Mewtwo gave him a look,

"But…?" Itzal messed with his shirt,

"I… was wondering…. When are we looking for Maman?" Mewtwo turned,

"Let's go…" Itzal looked sadly at the ground, he guess that was a no.

As Mewtwo went to find exactly were Team Plasma was going next, Itzal became distracted. He was thinking of his mother, he never met her but Grandpa Fuji had told him that she left on her own journey after he was born to deal with his father's death. Mewtwo kept going ahead, not paying attention that Itzal was falling behind. Itzal sighed as he overlooked the landscape from the top of the building. A sudden growl of his stomach brought him back to his senses. Itzal frowned, the two had been looking for quite a while and he was getting hungry. Itzal looked back to Mewtwo, he was to busy searching, he smirked and jumped to find another unlucky grocer.

Itzal scurried through the streets trying to avoid the angry grocer hot on his tail. He breathed hard as his thin legs worked hard to escape, suddenly he ran into someone and was tossed backwards. Itzal shook his head and found himself looking into a woman's azure eyes. Itzal was taken aback, she had white hair like he did. He couldn't stare forever since the grocer had turned the corner and spotted him. Itzal scrambled to his feet and hid behind the mysterious woman. The grocer shouted,

"You little freak! What is your problem?" Itzal flinched slightly, but the woman stood her ground,

"I see no freak here." Itzal's crimson eyes shot up in surprise, no one had ever stood up for him. After a short feud, the woman paid back what Itzal had stolen and she return to the boy with a smile on her face.

" That was certainly interesting, huh?" Itzal nodded and handed her an apple he stole. She smiled,

"Oh! Gengar adores apples!" She released her ghost Pokémon and Itzal's smile widened. As the Gengar finished his fruit and hugged the boy, Itzal rushed forward and hugged the woman.

"Maman~! I've found you~!" The woman was surprised by the boy's actions, yet she slowly hugged him.
