OKAY! After my laptop screen was cracked shortly after chapter 26 was released, I was hit by one hell of a case of writer's block; about a month later, my screen was replaced, but I still had the writer's block. It lasted for three and a half months only to go away the very moment my hard-drive died on me. That took three weeks to fix and lucky for me, it was done right before my warranty went void. Problem with that, I got hit with some more writers block. So here I am finally updating again after so long. So enjoy this next chapter that should have been completed months ago.

Chapter 27: New friend?

I stood there, bracing for impact for what felt like hours. The expected blow that would take me out never came, instead there was a loud crack. I opened my eyes and saw a familiar pink face.

"Hiya!" It was Mew. Came to save the day and hopefully tell me what the hell was going on and why I am being blamed for something that, as far as I know, didn't happen. Not now, not in my lifetime. Honestly, I would know about some random destruction of this forest. Hell, all of Hoenn would know. I might look into this later.

"M-Mew!? What's going on here!?" I asked, but changed my mind the moment Mew opened her mouth to speak. "Never mind, just get me outta this ice! I'll ask you later."

"What do you think I came here for?" When she said that, I noticed the ice was badly cracked. With a strong flex, I broke free of the ice that encased me. "You're welcome. Now you wanna explain to me what your problem...H-Hey! Don't fire that at me!" Honestly I didn't really know what I was doing. The red parts of my body were giving off a faint glow and my instinct was telling me to fire an Energyball at max power. Mew just happened to be standing in that direction.

"You might wanna move." I told Mew and she stepped out of my way. Instead of the usual large ball of pure green energy, the faint glow that emanated from me grew increasingly brighter until it was blindingly bright. I could feel the built up energy making its way to my arms, ready to burst forth with incredible force. It built up so much that it began to slip out from my palms. A small orb formed from my hands and from it, a thin laser fired forward.

"That's it? That's your Solarbeam? That's sad, so very sad." Mew had no idea that I was still holding it in. She moved down towards where the laser went. "It even stops right here!" She wasn't any more than a few meters away. What she didn't notice, was that the laser was shrinking.

"That's not it..." I quietly responded.

"What?" She asked while walking back to me.

"That's not it." The energy began to course through my entire body, causing it to light up, bright as the sun itself. My Solarbeam isn't going to fire off like a normal one. It's going to discharge, probably as a large explosion.

"You're...evolving? No, this is different." Mew looked at the laser again and her eyes widened in fear. She knew what was up. "Oh sh-" Just then, the explosion set off. She was caught in the blast and so was every pokemon surrounding us. Everything within range was vaporized.

"Whoa...I...Holy..." I was speechless. That's amazing that I have so much power at my disposal. Whatever I was made for must be some serious shit for me to need this much. Then there's the possible dormant strength. What you see is not always what you get. There must be more to this body than just my copying ability. "If that was Solarbeam, I wonder what other moves work differently. This is just TOO awesome!" Then it hit me. Mew was caught in the explosion. Without her I have absolutely no clue how to reach Arceus. Well I could just go on a rampage, destroying any and everything in my path. Then again it doesn't take much to stop me. "Man that Ice Beam hurt..." It really did. I'm still numb from being frozen. It has a surprisingly powerful impact too. Enough about the Ice Beam.

"What do I do now?" I asked myself. As far as I know, Mew is gone. I remember in Mauville, she said something about riding the ferry to Jhoto. I guess Jhoto is where I need to go. Before I get started though, something about this is just not right. I just vaporized like one hundred pokemon and I don't feel a thing. I'm not exactly evil, I may not give a crap about anything that doesn't involve me, but when I took the life of that Scizor, the thought of his blood being on my hands actually crossed my mind. In fact it's still there. So why now, when I just took so many lives in just a couple minutes does it not affect me? More importantly, why am I actually worried about me not being affected? The path I'm going to take is going to have me take lives anyway. I'm going to destroy the world for fuck's sake. So why am I beginning to worry about a weakness that isn't taking effect when it should? Gotta just ignore this feeling, or what I'm not feeling.

"Better get moving. No use thinking about what's done when I don't regret it." I told myself. As usual, when I have no idea where I am, I chose a random direction and went that way. First things first, I go back to Mauville for those two. He still technically owns me so I better stick with him for now. Claus would probably go to Jhoto if I can give a good enough reason. I could just tell him, 'I wanna blow up the world but I need to go to Jhoto first.' too bad he'd turn on me in a heartbeat. Either that or he'd joke about it and ignore it. Then the thought would start to build in his head and as he watches me and how cruel I can be. He'd probably ask me, 'Were you serious about blowing up the world?' and I'd just give him an evil grin, leaving him in the dark, suspecting my evil desires but not sure enough to accuse and attack. Then again, that pokeball of mine could stop me very easily, provided I get caught in the red beam. I really don't want to go back in that thing. Honestly I don't understand how it altered my view like that. I mean, whenever I looked at someone else's pokemon in their pokeballs, I could see the shrunken Pokemon looking back up at me, doing whatever in the limited space, or asleep through the red half. Speaking of red, I know for a fact that Blake's hair color is not red. Seriously, is it even possible for a human being to have red hair coloring in their genes? I thought a red head was not red, but orange. Which is kinda stupid because the hair is not said color. He may actually have orange hair, but the red is clearly dye. Furthermore, Claus's hair is blue, now I have actually seen someone with natural blue hair, it wasn't the same shade and had a silver hue to it. Claus's hair is a sky blue color. It's possible for his hair to actually be that color as far as I know. Odd thing is, they're twins of the opposite color. What are the odds of that happening, and how cliché is that? And their eyes are the opposite color too! Claus's are red while Blake's are blue. If they aren't some kind of chosen ones by some random prophecy, I don't know what is. I better find some hair dye in their bags when I get back to them. Speaking of changing colors, do I gain the colors of the pokemon I copy or the color of their type? No, it's the color of the pokemon because I remember being a silvery white color when I copied that Absol. If you ask me, a dark type would most likely make me black or a very dark color.

While lost in my thoughts about the rainbow, I found myself hanging upside down from a tree by my leg. It happened so fast, as if I was already there dangling.

"What? Huh? How did, when...What!?" I said out of confusion. After confirming my position, I looked to see what had me ensnared. Something purple and scaly with a serpentine body. Looked up at its face, directly into the eyes. They were mesmerizing, but clearly had little effect on me. I will never understand what the pattern on its belly is supposed to be. Apparently it's intimidating, but if you ask me, the poison is scary. It lifted me to eye level. I think it chuckled, but I'm not sure. Just sounded like a raspy groan to me. I retained my clueless look and broke the silence. Well wasn't exactly silence since it was supposedly chuckling.

"Hello, do you want something?" I asked. At this time I couldn't, for the life of me, remember what this snake was called. The grin slowly grew, showing menacing fangs. If I had eyebrows, I'd have one lifted. If it thought that I would be intimidated in even the slightest bit, it was wrong. It clearly saw that I was unaffected and started hissing. I kept glaring back into its eyes. "...What!?"

"You stepped on my tail." It spoke finally. Its voice sounded a bit like mine. So I guessed it was male. My voice is pretty deep for how small I am. In fact, I still have my voice from when I was human. Coincidence?

"Um sorry? Shouldn't hurt, I barely weigh anything." I said.

"It may not have hurt, but you should watch where you're going from now on. You never know who you will run into. Be happy I'm not one of the ones who would hurt you for something so simple." And if they did, they'd remember never to do it again.

"Um okay? It's not like they'd stand a chance against me. You may look menacing, but I could hurt you pretty bad right now if you tried to do anything." I responded.

"Hurt me? You? You realize the situation you are in." Believe me, in this situation where I am within physical range, I have a huge advantage.

"Type advantage, I'm dangling by my leg, and at your mercy? Sounds like a huge advantage for me. You don't look so tough. Also it'd be nice if you dropped me. The blood's rushing to my head." And the minor headache was annoying.

"And if I don't?" He asked.

"I break your face." I answered

"As if you could escape." He rolled his eyes with that.

"Wanna bet?"

"Alright, go ahead and try."

"Okay get ready." Shortly after saying that, I had him pinned on the ground while I stood on his chest. "Told ya. I should keep my word and break your face, but eh."

"You caught me off guard." He responded. After I told him to get ready? Clearly that was just a pointless excuse.

"I told you to get ready, which you did because you tightened your grip. So I went with plan B and flipped you over me and slipped out landed on your chest. I had several options for escape, but this was the fastest and most harmless choice."

"How would you know if this didn't hurt? You're not the one who was slammed and by a two foot tall lizard who weighs ten times less than you." Believe those facts. A 2 foot lizard can drop something ten times his weight in a heartbeat.

"Whatever, I got places to be and things to do." Mainly getting to Jhoto. I stepped off him and began walking away.

"Oh, would you mind some company?" He asked. I actually didn't mind, but I don't think he'd want to sit back and watch what I do and what I plan on doing. My secrets are going to be exposed one day anyway so I'm not worried about that.

"Um what for?"

"Well...I'm bored here. It's the same thing every day. Hunt, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. I want to do something new. I want to explore the world. I know there is more past the sea, but I can't possibly swim that far. I want to learn about the world, to find out its secrets." He turned and looked at me. "I feel that if I go with you, I will get the chance to see the world." Must be obvious why he thought that.

"Let me guess, because I speak a human language, you think I will lead you to some worldly secret?"

"No, I've seen what you can do. You're not natural. Maybe you can explain to me why you're the same color as me with an imitation of my markings on your torso." I have really got to learn how to control my powers.

"Good enough, you can come, but before we go, I have to wait this off. Don't feel like drawing attention to myself. By the way, have you seen Mew? I set off an explosion and blew her away, I don't know whether if she was blown away a far distance or vaporized. If she survived then maybe the mob that was after me did too."

"Mew? Little pink feline with a long tail? Flies everywhere and doesn't show itself to impure humans." His description was pretty basic, but still right.

"Yep, that's her."

"No, but I can help you search for her."

"I doubt that's necessary. If she's alive, she'll show up and most likely chew me out for attacking her when it wasn't exactly my fault that my Solarbeam doesn't fire a beam but causes a powerful explosion where I stand. I even told her to run when I realized it was going to do that. The explosion vaporized a small area and the pokemon around me too. Serves them right for accusing me of things I haven't done." Not yet at least.

"Vaporized!? No way, I want proof."

"Alright...which way did I come from?"

"From that way." He pointed. So I lead him back to where I used Solarbeam. At least I think I lead him there.

"Vaporized huh? Now I believe you on the explosion since the area is a bit burned, but there is no vaporization here. Even that doesn't make much sense because Solarbeam is not hot at all. Even if it is absorbed solar energy. I don't really know why."

"I don't know much about thermodynamics or even if this would be classified as thermodynamics."

"Thermo...dynamics?" Oh yeah, he's a pokemon. I doubt he'd know much about science if any at all.

"It's the study of energy. At least I think so. I'm not really sure. Chemistry was my thing."

"Chem is tree?" He asked. Why did I even mention chemistry? Maybe I should just teach him how to read and then give him a science book.

"This is gonna be awhile..."

"Explain to me, what is that." Great, now I have to explain to him what they are and will probably end up teaching him the other sections I know about. Well I have to wait off this copy in order to avoid attracting attention anyway. Hopefully not too many noticed me. Guess I better get started. I never liked teachers, never knew I would end up being one.

The Solarbeam is just the beginning of his discoveries. I have so many ideas for him, but you'll just have to wait for them to be discovered during the story.
