Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own Pokemon.

This was a little side-along piece to 'Before and After'. I originally had this included into the Legendary meeting, but I felt like it didn't really contribute much to the story. However, I saved the text, and put it here in case anyone wants to read. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't love Mewtwo?


While Kyogre and Groudon both glared at each other in a battle of wills, the Creator-Pokemon turned her attention to the new arrival next to Mew.

"And who is this?"

Mew immediately jumped into the role of delegator. Rather short and to the point, if Lugia had to judge.

"He is a Pokemon created by the humans, from me. I brought him here because he carries a very strong psychic ability."

Ho-oh, though he remained on the side, still craned his neck to get a good look at the Mew-lookalike.

"Can it talk?" He droned, making a deliberate point of addressing Mew and not the being directly. Lugia shook his head mildly; his brother always seemed to know how to get on someone's bad side.

The creature's eyes narrowed, and he took the liberty of answering back, the deeper, more calculating voice a strong contrast to Mew's happy-go-lucky atmosphere.

"He can talk."

Lugia could definitely tell a psychic method of communication when he saw one, given that he often used this technique to speak to humans when he had to. If there was one thing to be said for this new being, he certainly did not fall short in the power margin he was sure to have inherited from Mew.

Arceus regarded the new arrival with some appraisal.

"Do you have a name?"

"Mewtwo." He replied, pointedly ignoring a scoffing noise from Ho-oh.

The Equine Legendary scrutinized the other for a few more seconds before speaking again. "I look forward to seeing more of what you are capable of."
