Well, another episode up and ready. Amazing how much space you can fill with just two pokemon arguing. Well, it was fun for that reason. Plus the part at the end.
Anyway, I expect a comment for this.
Episode 146: Family Ties
I almost thought Mewtwo was going to start cursing as he clenched both fists and glared at where the Rocket had been standing. Eventually he managed to calm himself and turned to face us all.
"You sure took your bloody time," Mew said loudly as I helped him limp forward, "I called you at least a day before I called these idiots here."
"I had other matters to attend too."
"You have vocal chords, use them."
"I would rather not."
"And where the hell did you leave my little sis? You are supposed to be watching over her!"
"I left her on the island. She would be useless here."
"I don't give a shit!"
The argument was stopped as Mew started coughing again; I spotted a small trickle of blood come out of the side of his mouth before he quickly wiped it away. Mewtwo stared at us all with disapproving eyes.
"Who are you and why are you here? This was not your fight."
"I hate to break it to you," Mew muttered, having finally caught his breath back, "but you are not the only one with a score to settle with Team Rocket."
"Mew is right," Scyther added, "Scyther and Flame have both have had encounters before."
Mewtwo seemed to think it over, although I couldn't really see any difference in his expression.
"Just stay away from Giovanni. He is mine."
"Wouldn't dream of it," I answered quickly, "I'm happy taking down the grunts."
"Aye."
Mewtwo folded his arms and stared at Mew for several seconds, I fought the urge to back away, seeing as I was all that was keeping Mew standing.
"They planted a tracer in you," the 'clone' eventually said, causing all of us to shoot glances at the injured Mew.
"I didn't think they had done that yet. Must have done it when they first caught up with me. Well, I'll remove it when we get out of here and I can finally grab something to eat."
"Then, I will destroy this place and go hunt down Giovanni and the remaining Mewthree."
"No you don't!" Mew shouted, coughing a little as he caught his breath again, "you are going to total this base then go stop sis before she does something stupid."
"You have no control over me."
"I fucking do. Need I remind you about the last time you decided to completely ignore me? Who was the one that was held over an active volcano again?"
"I was injured. You were not. This time, the roles are reversed."
"Not for long. The moment I get my strength back then you are toast."
"I cannot believe that I am getting ordered around by someone who can barely stand."
Mew glanced across at me and I knew what he wanted. I let him go and he staggered for a little before straitening and glaring Mewtwo right in the eye.
"Now try to walk," Mewtwo said with an eyebrow raised. Mew tried and nearly toppled over had I not grabbed him at the last second, "thought so."
"I haven't eaten in a week, you try standing after that and who knows what else."
"I would not let myself get in that situation."
"Bull. I remember Mount Quena. They would have got you had I not 'interfered' and put the idea to head there in that group of idiots' heads."
Fervo was looking incredibly bored by now. I was too, but I was hiding it behind a wall of confusion.
"I'm sure we would love to hear your little family argument now. But, how about we get out of here before something else crazy happens?" He interrupted. Both psychic cats looked across at him.
"I agree. Hanging around here is asking for trouble."
"Hanging around with you anywhere is asking for trouble."
"Shut up!" Fervo yelled before the two could start again.
Mewtwo glared at the Treecko, who refused to back down. I heard a small chuckle inside my head. Evidently, Fervo did too. As he clenched his fists and glared back at Mewtwo.
"What's so damn funny?"
"You would shout at someone who can destroy you with a single thought."
"Okay, so I might not be the smartest thing around but, at least, I'm not some freak of nature."
Mewtwo's eyes narrowed and Fervo's matched his. You could cut the tension with a blade, which Scyther did with his usual flair, "Scyther is hungry."
Okay, so I lied about the flair. Stop whining, this is my story and I can exaggerate if I want. Anyway, everyone all turned to stare at him and he shrugged.
"Scyther didn't have any dinner."
"Anyway. You had better all start running. You have five minutes from the moment you leave my sight before I disintegrate this base."
"Wouldn't it make more sense to blow it up when you know we are out of the blast?" Fervo asked.
"Being a dick must run in the family," I replied as I dragged Mew towards the door, which Scyther had thoughtfully booted down.
"If I wasn't depending on you to stay upright, I would so kick your head in for that," Mew grumbled as Fervo took up the rear.
"Five minutes."
Fervo shot ahead, overtaking Scyther as he shot around the corner. I had to go slowly, seeing as I was carrying a passenger.
"Four minutes," came the telepathic countdown.
"We know!" Mew yelled, before breaking down into another coughing fit. I didn't have time to let him finish, so I just hoisted him into the air and carried him that way. Like Human's do on the few TV shows I had seen. Only, this time, we were actually in danger instead of just a crappy explosion and fake smoke.
Scyther was running right beside me and we both turned a corner to see Fervo pounding on a massive steel door. We couldn't see the hinges or the handle so he couldn't bust it down. Scyther, however, decided that knocking it all down was not needed and merely sliced a smaller door into the big one. The sheet of metal fell away and we carried onwards, my arms starting to tire from carrying Mew. For a small fuzz ball, he was surprisingly heavy.
"Three minutes."
"Is that really necessary?" Scyther muttered as we ran onwards.
We reached the stairs leading to the exit and the two of them shot upwards, I had to take it slower seeing as I couldn't really see where my feet where thanks to the pink fur ball in the way. He was being quiet for once, which was slightly scary. I was in sight of the top when I heard the final warning.
"One minute."
"Nearly there," I muttered to Mew as I shot back onto level ground and shot through the small rooms, towards the door where Scyther and Fervo were waiting.
I was nearly there when I tripped over Mew's tail and fell to the ground, dropping Mew as I did so. I heard Scyther yell that I only had twenty more seconds. I knew that I could make it if I sprinted for it, but I refused to leave Mew behind and scooped him up one more time. I needed only ten meters to make it to the door, I made seven before the sounds of explosions and crackling energy sounded from behind. Above it, I could just make out Fervo yelling as he tried to rush back into the base but Scyther held him back.
I skidded to a halt, realising that running was futile and turned back to see a massive dome of psychic energy racing to meet me.
"Sorry, everyone," was all I could think to say, knowing that Fervo and Scyther would hear as it completely engulfed me and Mew.
