Sweet Tea
"Mewtwo still hasn't turned up has he?"
"No."
"He's been gone for quite awhile; shall I go and look for him?"
"No, brother, if anyone needs to go and look for him it's me."
"He isn't your responsibility, Eva, let me talk to him."
"But he is. I brought him into this family, and anything that happens concerning us traces right back to me."
I rose from my seat, placing my shelled stone cup in my brother's hand. He looked up at me in silence before speaking. "Are you sure he'd be happy to see you? I seemed rather irritated with you."
"Don't be worried about me, Mewtwo would never harm me," I said folding my hands in front of me. "He's rather sweet, despite the exterior viciousness."
Mewtwo and I were vastly different, but shared many of the same interests and preferences. Although he came off as a little cold, I could sense the good in him to my very core. No one seemed to see it as deeply as I could, and the others sometimes seemed uneasy around him. I didn't exactly blame them. Mewtwo was absolutely terrifying in appearance, and much larger then anyone in our small group. Despite this, he was rather gentle. This is likely why I felt so at ease with him the day we first met.
"Won't you join us for tea?" I said holding my cup close to my chest. He looked at me with curious violet eyes but said nothing. His thick tail swayed quietly as he looked from the cup to me again.
"I sometimes see you out here all alone, and, well, I decided to ask you to come to tea with us. What do we have to lose?"
I smile hoping to make a friend out of him. Perhaps it was in my species' nature to try to bring the lone wolves into the pack, or maybe it was the way his aura rolled off as cold, yet good natured all at once. Either way, he didn't seem terribly interested.
"We who?" He avoided my initial question, but I was alright with it. There was no use in rushing this stranger.
"My family and I. We make the most delicious tea, and sweeten it with berry juice. Won't you come?"
"I don't much like tea." He was trying to be polite. It didn't bother me, many pokemon and humans weren't fond of the taste of tea. The fact that he'd rather spend all of his time alone, however, did bother me. I smiled to hide it.
"Oh, well, perhaps some other time when we aren't having tea? Perhaps when we harvest more berries you could join us for a meal." He nodded gently to me, but then something strange happened. Thos purple eyes bore deep into mine. So deep, I could feel my soul blink back at him in silence. He was studying me, right to my very core. For a moment, I could feel us silently exchanging information in a way only psychics could. Beyond his cold eyes, I could feel warmth so tender, it made me smile without even trying.
I closed my eyes and looked away, trying to suppress a giggle in the process. "Well, I should be going. My older brother might be worried"
"Before you go, what's your name?" I froze, surprised that he suddenly took interest in me. At the same time I was enthralled.
"Eva." I giggled, holding my cup close to me.
"You?"
"Mewtwo."
That was that. I don't remember what it was that made him change his mind. Perhaps what we shared that day was deeper then a smile and a giggle. Regardless, in that one moment, Mewtwo became one of us. Though he didn't hold the soft white skin and green hair like the rest of my family, we accepted him effortlessly. Everything within our little family unit was perfect for the time being. Mewtwo did not seem to mind being surrounded by mostly females, and he and my brother got on splendidly. There was only one family member he couldn't seem to stand…
"Human?" His eyes were larger and wider then I had ever seen them.
"This Olivia you've been telling me so much about is human?"
I could feel him radiating anger so intense, even my sisters could feel it from far away. They told me so. "Olivia is different, Mewtwo. Not all humans are horrible. There are so many good-hearted people in this world, Olivia is one of them."
"I refuse to come into contact with another human, never again."
"Mewtwo, please, I think you'll like here."
"I would never trust, let alone like a human being! Do you expect me to sit by her and suppress e urge to attack?"
"Mewtwo! Olivia has never done anything to you, or anyone. She's only done good to us, and this forest. She owns her own pokemon, and she treats them very well."
"Those pokemon are foolish to let themselves be the property of an inferior species…"
"Mewtwo… please."
"I won't, nor will I sit by and watch you betray this species."
"Mewtwo I'm not betraying anyone, Olivia is a good human. I'll prove it to her if you let me introduce her to you."
"You're insane if you think I'll come within fifty yards of that creature Eva. Never again!"
With that, he left. For awhile I was baffled as to why Mewtwo was so upset. She did not share the same abilities, tastes or preferences as pokemon did. She could not sense the air with the fine hairs on her body, like he could. She could not look deep into the soul, like I could. She was, however, unbelievably loving and kind. She shared her exotic berries from far away with the wild pokemon here, and never once did she litter or pollute the forests clean landscape. She gave her medicine to the sick, and nursed the week. She was very much like many of the Gardevoir family, which is why I found a kinship in her. Mewtwo saw an enemy.
Regardless, I was worried about him. Not his physical being, I know he could take care of himself. The mental, however, is what bugged me. Mewtwo couldn't keep these feelings in forever. This distrust of humans was only going to get him into trouble, if anyone knew that it was a Gardevoir. I closed my eyes and held folded my hands on my lap. I knew if I didn't do anything, no body else would help Mewtwo… and I knew just where to look.
-oOo-
I approached the big rawst berry tree on the far edge of the forest quietly. The berries were bursting with several delicious smells, and were rather beautiful hanging from their lush and healthy trees. I could understand why he loved it here.
"Why have you returned?" I could hear him up in the thick tree branches. He sounded indifferent, rather then angry.
"I wanted to see you," I said approaching the tree. I rested a single hand on the rough bark, staring up into the tall branches. I could see his eyes glowing under the cover of the brush.
"I didn't give you permission to come back her after you betrayed me," he said with a slight pang of anger. His eyes narrowed as he watched me.
"Mewtwo, I have done no such thing," I said allowing my body to disappear, and then teleport up into the tree branches. He glanced at me, but when he didn't object, I smiled sitting by him. This was the first time I'd been with him in almost over a week. I did miss him and our conversations. I didn't know how I'd be able to bring him back, but I'd have to try.
"You're being a bit melodramatic don't you think, to call me a traitor?" I teased him gently, running my hand through the find hairs on his head. "Besides, Olivia is a great person! She's like any of my siblings."
He tensed against my hand suddenly, and I pulled it away. "All humans are alike, Eva. Your judgment is just clouded by your love for them."
"Mewtwo, you've thrown this argument back at me over and over. You know all humans aren't alike, just like all pokemon aren't alike."
"Pokemon and humans can't be compared. We aren't alike, not even in the slightest!"
"How do you know? What do you know about humans?" Perhaps that was the wrong thing to say, for his eyes flashed darkly. I had definitely set off something within him, but I wasn't entirely sure what. "Mewtwo, I'm sorry… but you can't just…"
"Judge the actions of a few on the actions of many." I didn't say anything else. He understood exactly what was going on. He understood that all humans were alike. Why was he still acting like this? I leaned in, placing my hand over his paw.
"Mewtwo…"
"Perhaps I'm taking out my negative experiences with humans out on the entire race, I don't know. I just can't seem to wrap my head around the fact you're best friend is a human."
I gently touched his shoulder. I didn't know what humans could have possibly done to him to make him so angry. "After what happened to you?"I shook my head.
"Mewtwo, please, I know it was wrong, but don't let the bitterness cloud your judgment. You're too sweet to let that happen."
He was silent again. He looked away, giving a slightly frustrated sigh as he did so. Perhaps he needed to be convinced. To understand that Olivia was different then anyone else he'd ever encountered. I just wanted him to be happy, and this internal hatred could greatly stand in the way. I sighed deeply.
"Mewtwo, come here," I whispered, throwing my arms around him tightly. His eyes went wide, wider then they were when I told him that my friend was a human. He looked at me, and didn't hug me back. I didn't expect him to, and it was alright.
"Mewtwo, if I don't get you to trust, how will you be happy?"
He glared slightly. "I was happy until any of this happened."
"But you weren't. You were bitter and sour."
We stayed in silence for quite awhile. I did not pull away from him, nor did he to me. "If you won't trust Olivia, will you trust my word?" He looked at me in silence, his eyes studying mine. I stayed with my arms around him in silence. He didn't know what to say, I could tell by the look in his eyes.
"Won't you?"
The silence under the brush was so thick, even the pidgey seemed to be silent. I wondered if they were perhaps eavesdropping, or if Mewtwo scared them away. "Okay…" he said quietly. He sat in silence, staring at me for awhile, before quickly adding. "But I'm doing this for you, not this human. And don't you dare forget that."
I held him tighter, feeling incredibly warm suddenly. I wasn't sure if it was the fact that he'd finally said yes, or that he was doing this for me that made me so happy. Or maybe it was just that it was his first baby step into trusting humans again. I knew Olivia would not let me down, and neither would Mewtwo. I smiled widely, letting my head lean on his shoulder. I could've sworn he blushed and rolled his eyes at me.
"Thank you Mewtwo," I said grasping his paw in my own tiny hand. He looked down at it, and glanced back at me. He again didn't pull away, and so I grinned, tugging at him.
"Come on, let's go have some tea?" He pouted, though he wasn't aware he was doing it.
"I don't like tea," he said defiantly, but I merely smiled and his eyes softened. At least, as much as he was capable of.
"I think you'll like my tea, it's rather sweet," I said taking his paw in mine. After that, he merely rose and followed, not uttering another word.
End
