(A/N: Sweet, it seems people are liking this so far. I wasn't sure, but the reviews are good. Now, lets see how Mewtwo is going to react to Mew's declaration.)

Chapter 2: Convincing

Mewtwo stared at her with a completely bewildered look on his face. He couldn't have heard her right. That was the only explanation. He couldn't possibly have heard her correctly.

Without a word, he walked past her. Mew's smile became a look of confusion, and she flew in front of him. "Where are you going?"

Scowling, he ducked beneath her. "I have no time for these games."

Mew grabbed the fleshy tube attached to the back of his neck, pulling him back. "It's not a game. It's my mating cycle. I need to find a mate, and now I've found you."

He slapped her hands away. "You are mistaken, I am not a suitable mate for you. You had best continue your search." He began to walk away again.

"Wait!" Mew cried, latching onto his leg, causing him to trip and fall. "We have a duty to continue the Mew race."

Mewtwo looked back at her, annoyed. "I am not a Mew. I am Mewtwo."

"You're still a type of Mew. I can sense our similarities. We're compatible enough to breed."

Using his psychic power to lift himself up in the air, he shook his leg to dislodge her. "I will not produce offspring. I am an anomaly created by humans that never should have existed. I will never bring more like me into the world to be hunted by and suffer from the hands of humans."

Mew cocked her head to the side. "Humans? Humans are no problem. They're easy enough to avoid."

"I said no, and I meant it. Seek a mate elsewhere. Now goodbye." And with that, he teleported away.

"Wait!" Mew cried.

It was easy enough to follow his psychic signature, and she teleported to his location. Mewtwo looked surprised at her sudden appearance, then scowled and teleported again. Mew simply went after him, and his scowl deepened as she once again appeared.

And so it went on in a humorous dance, Mewtwo teleporting to a different location, only to have Mew follow him before he teleported somewhere else. No matter where he went, she appeared beside him a moment later. In the forest, on a mountain, above a city, over the ocean, high in the sky, in a meadow, and over a sea of trees.

Mewtwo's patience was wearing thin, and he rounded on Mew. "Stop following me!"

Mew beamed happily. "You can't outrun me. I can just teleport to you no matter where you go."

Mewtwo's eye twisted irritably. "Perhaps I should use Disable on you so you can't."

This just made Mew giggle. "You can try, but since I know every Pokémon move there is except for a few exclusive attacks, your chances of randomly disabling my Teleport out of all my moves is very unlikely."

A growl escaped Mewtwo. She was right. Since Arceus designed Mews to have the genetic makeup of every Pokémon there was, they could learn all available Pokémon moves except for those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group. There were only 10 known attacks she couldn't use, and even that problem was overcome with a Mew's ability to use Transform.

For some reason though, Mewtwo lacked this ability to learn all these moves. Perhaps the scientists that created him had to sacrifice the number of attack available to him in order to amplify his power. It was the one advantage Mew had over Mewtwo. He tried not to let it get to him, but he did have a bit of a superiority complex.

"Besides," Mew continued. "I could just teleport to you later once your Disable wears off."

He realized she was right, and decided to change tactics. "If you have every move there is, then why not just use Transform and take any Pokémon as a mate?"

Mew shook her head. "Won't work. That's just imitation, not the real thing. I need another Mew in order to breed."

Mewtwo humphed. "I am Mewtwo. There's no guarantee that a child produced between us will even be a Mew."

Mew's eyes widened. "That's right! We might create a brand new Mew. Maybe it will be Mewthree. This may be even more important than preserving the Mew race."

"It's not my responsibility."

"It's everyone's responsibility," Mew insisted.

His eyes narrowed. "Says who?"

"Arceus."

Mewtwo scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I am more powerful than Arceus. He has no power over me."

"But he created the whole universe, and all Pokémon."

Mewtwo crossed his arms. "That has no bearings on strength. I may not have power over creation, but my power still outstrips his. Besides, it is merely speculation that he created the universe, and with the 1,000 arms that he does not have. The only things he created for sure are the Sinnoh and Ransei regions, along with The Creation Trio and Lake Guardians, and even that is merely according to legend. In fact, others will argue that Palkia and Dialga were the true universal creators."

He looked up. "I have also heard of how he nearly died while stopping a meteor long ago and had to be revived by a human, and of how he needed to create the Jewel of Life to heal the region. You would think that with the ability to create the universe, he would be able to do all that without even blinking. I could stop a meteor with little to no effort. Against him, I could simply use my psychic power to block all his special abilities, or simply erase all his memories."

Mew giggled. "You have a bit of a superiority complex, don't you?"

Mewtwo glared at her. "In any case, if there was any doubt as to which of us is stronger, my ability to Mega Evolve puts them to rest."

Mew's eyes widened. "You can Mega Evolve? That's so cool! We Mews can't do that. Let me see! Let me see!"

Though Mewtwo found her to be annoying, he did enjoy showing off his power. "Very well. Behold."

His body began glowing as if engulfed with blue flames. There was a flash of light, and Mewtwo now stood in his even more powerful Y form.

Mew gasped at Mewtwo's transformation. "Wowwie! That's amazing! And you did it without the use of a Mega Stone too."

A smile grazed Mewtwo's face. "My power has gone beyond the need for one."

Mew circled around him and tugged on his head tentacle. "But why is your tail on your head?"

Insulted, he smacked her hand away. "My tail is not on my head! It is a tentacle that my brainstem runs through."

Mew cocked her head to the side. "Um, brainstem?"

He gave her an astonished look. Did this Mew know nothing of their own anatomy? "How do you not know?" He sighed. "Unlike other life forms, out brainstem does not stop at our necks, but run through our entire bodies, ending in our tails."

Mew glanced at her tail, giving it a small squeeze. "In our tails?"

"It is the reason they are so long, to contain our brainstems. The size and length of our brainstems are the reason our psychic power is so great. In this form, my brainstem is closer to my actual brain, and there is no interfere from my bone, muscles, organs, and such when I unleash it, so my psychic power is much greater." He reverted back to his base form. "You should really be more knowledgeable, especially about your own kind."

Mew simply hovered around him, noticing the tube of flesh going from the back of his head to the center of his shoulder blades. Curious, she reached out and gave it a squeeze. "Why do you have two necks?"

He shook her off. "Because my psychic power is so great that it needs to be channeled in two different directions."

"But your Mega form doesn't have that."

"That is because it does not flow through my body the same way. Now, are you done interrogating me?"

Mew looked thoughtful. "Mmm, I guess." Her eyes lit up. "Hey, do you think that our kids will be able to Mega Evolve?"

He couldn't believe it. "You're still on about that?" Perhaps he should try a different tactic. "Should you not become mates with someone you love?"

Mew simply cocked her head to the side. "But I do love you."

Mewtwo was taken aback. "What?"

She beamed happily. "Yup, it was love at first sight!"

Mewtwo humphed. "Now you're being ridiculous."

Not one to be discouraged, Mew flew up until she was face to face with him, their noses nearly touching as her eyes shined with the emotion she claimed to feel for him. "I do love you."

Her tongue darted out and affectionately licked his nose. Mewtwo leapt backwards, blushing furiously as he rubbed his nose. He glared at her as she giggled. "S-Stop that! You can't possibly love me. You don't even know me."

"Oh?"

Staring at him, her eyes began glowing pink. Mewtwo was confused by what she was doing at first, but then he felt her in his mind, going through his memories. He'd foolishly let down his guard and allowed her to gain access to his mind.

His own eyes began glowing. "Get out of my head!"

Mew cried out as she was cast from his mind. "But you said I didn't know you, so I wanted to learn more about you."

"That does not give you permission to go through my memories!"

"Sheesh, I'm sorry." She thought about some of the things she learned from his memories. "Boy, you were naughty in the past, weren't you?"

It didn't take much for him to realize she was talking about the time he had tried to take over the world and fill it with clones. Yes, he had been very 'naughty' back then.

But in his defense, he had had a very low opinion of the world. After being tormented for so long, he thought all humans were evil, and that Pokémon were nothing more than groveling slaves eager to please their wicked overlords in any and all things. Was it any wonder he wanted to purify the world by ridding it of the filth that inhabited it?

True, he had learned the error of his ways and learned to value all life, but if Mew thought he was bad, then perhaps he should run with that to get her to drop her pointless pursuit of him. "Yes, I was naughty. Very, very naughty. So you see, I am clearly not cut out to be your mate, and you should search elsewhere."

If he thought this would discourage Mew, he was wrong, as she simply giggled. "You're not bad. You were just misled. You felt lost, alone, confused, and betrayed. Your creators were cruel, and Team Rocket was a bad role model. You thought the world was evil and sought to fix it by getting rid of the source so you could find your own place in it. But you're actually very kind. I saw all you did for your fellow clones and other Pokémon, and the Genesect too, and even some humans."

For some reason, Mewtwo actually felt what could only be described as bashful. "I… simply wanted peace for everyone."

Mew clapped her hands. "See, you will make a good father."

Embarrassment gave way to annoyance as he glared at Mew. "You are beginning to get on my nerves. My patience on this subject is at an end. Now take your leave of me and find someone else to be your mate."

"But I want you."

"That's it!" Mewtwo growled. He created a ball of psychic energy. "If you don't leave right now, will attack you."

But his threat didn't work. Rather, Mew playfully used Taunt, and Mewtwo found himself firing a Psyshock at her before he realized it. Mew simply bopped the ball of psychic energy into the sky as if it were a volleyball, then giggled.

Mewtwo's temper snapped. Not only was this Mew making light of his threats, she was forcing him to attack so she could play with him. Well, no more, he'd had enough.

Eyes glowing bright blue, he declared, "You leave me with no choice. I will erase all your memories of me from your mind."

"Uh oh!" Mew gasped, and her eyes began glowing hot pink.

Mewtwo felt himself hit a mental wall. Mew's own psychic power was fighting against his, preventing him from gaining access to her memories. Although Mewtwo knew he was more powerful, her psychic abilities were strong enough to resist him.

He wasn't sure how long they floated there, seemingly having a staring contest, but finally, with a frustrated groan, he gave up. "Fine, keep your memories."

"Yippee!"

"But give up on this idea of me becoming your mate."

"No way."

He growled irritably. "You will only serve to disappoint yourself and waste time finding a proper mate. Give it up."

"I don't want to."

His fists clenched. "Fine then, waste your time for all I care. Just know that I will never be your mate."

Mew just smiled. "But you will."

"No, I will not."

"Yes, you will."

There was no talking to her. She would just have to realize on her own that this was futile; he would waste no more time with her.

Turning away, he flew off, Mew following close behind.

(A/N: Persistent, isn't she? And getting on Mewtwo's nerves. He's given in, for now, but he's not about to commit to anything. Mew's certainly got her hands full. Actually, they both do. Stay tuned to see how things turn out.)
