Do you speak? I asked her. She stayed quiet, I can teach you, if you want. I heard some Wingull screech ahead of me. I knew I was almost home. I looked up and saw the moon, it gave me hope for the little one I carry. 

We reached the island, and I head straight for the cave. When I set her down I realized she was sleeping, I also noticed how small she was. There was something else, she was.. Peaceful, and happy. I laid down next to her and slept. 

The next morning I noticed she was gone. I sat up and looked around.

Hello? Little one where did you go? I looked around and ran to the front of the cave, I see her sitting on the beach playing with a young Krabby. There you are, please don’t scare me like that again. She turned to me and smiled, she pointed to the Krabby. This is a Krabby. Do you like them? She smiles bigger and brings me the Krabby. 

Ahh ehh. She speaks small in my mind, it filled my with happiness. 

I’ll take that as a yes then, do you want me to take it? I reach to take it, she takes it back, and pets it. Then hands it to me. I repeat her actions, her eyes shine brighter than the brightest sun Arceus can make in the universe. 

You want to name it? I point to the Krabby. She blinked with curiosity.

Mm? Mmaa. MMnnna. She struggled to say a simple word, she stopped trying after more attempts. Her tail and head drooped low. I gave the Krabby back to her, and lift her head up to face me.

You can do it. Say, name. Nnn-aa-mm-e. 

Nnnn. Nnaa. Naaee. 

Name.

Name! Name! Name! She looked down at her Krabby, and repeated the phrase over to it. In the distance I see a boat, Shit. Trainers, I forgot that humans have explored this area. The boat zooms this way, I had to do something. There wasn’t another island for miles around excluding the lab island. 

Young one. There will be explosions. But do not fear I will protect you. 

“Wow! This place is so cool! Hey! Thomas get over here! There are berries!” 

When did they get here? Thought to myself, I take a step closer to see them. The leaves rustle behind me, I twirl around to find her gone. Nononono. Shit, this isn't good. 

Tiny one where have you gone!? I sprint through the leaves and trees. 

Mmm? Eh- 

Little one!

“Harrison! Harrison! I found Mewtwo!”

“NO WAY! Catch it!” 

No! I fly above the trees and shoot a small plasma blast in front of the trainers. Don’t touch her! Leave the island and never come back.

“T-two Mewtwos?” 

She is not Mewtwo. I am, she is not Mewthree or Mewfour. She is herself, if you even throw that Pokeball I will personally, obliterate you until not even Arceus can bring you back!

“M-Mewtwo? I- I didn’t know t-that-”

Silence. The boy immediately shut up, I just wanted them off my island. Or now, it would be our island. 

N-Name! She shouted, I looked down at her then to the boy. 

Name. I pointed down to the tiny new child.

“U-Uh, K-Keith..Hemlock.” I could see him trembling. It was in a way satisfying to know that they won't bother us again.

“I-I am so s-sorry. U-Uhm I, Can I, Can I get Berries from here? I wont catch a-anything!”

Quickly.

Eeee? The young one is trying to communicate again. I really need to teach her words. The trainers ran off, leaving us alone. 

Tiny one, what are you trying to say?

Nname! She points to where the trainers once were.

He told you his name. What else are you trying to say?

Ber-barry? Brerry? Berrerry?

Berry? 

Berry! Berry!

Do you want berries?

Berry name? 

I’ll take that as a yes.

Berry, merry, jerry! 

I turned around to the nearest berry bush and picked a berry. 

Here. I handed it to her and she took it, then she started looking around. Then she touched the back of her neck tube with the berry. She looked at me and continued to poke herself.

This is what gave you life. I’m sorry that your life had to start this way. I sighed, you eat the berry. You see? I demonstrated. She mimicked me. 

“Shh.” The bushes rustled and moved. I heard a soft click. 

Show yourselves! They couldn’t possibly be planning to steal her. Do they not know what I am capable of? 

Shwoop! Click! 

“GO! RUN!” Harrison and another boy ran off towards the boat. While they ran they through their meaningless pokeballs at me. 

The motor boat started and took off with striking speed. Much faster than previous boats. 

Nonetheless, I was faster. Psychic blasts rocked the boat and tore it apart, the metal shrieked and ripped. Harrison and the boy swan clinging to the blue pokeball. My eyes glowed with fury, these children dare steal from me, the only thing I have to lose. 

“You said Mewtwo wasn’t fast!” The boy yelled to Harrison. 

“I said it was a probability!” Harrison looked around helplessly. 

Give back what you took and I might let you live. I closed in on them, they could easily hand her over. 

“Its a shiny! I can’t give it back!” 

It!? You call her an “It”?! 

“I- I can’t!” 

I gave you your chance. Prepare to die.

“Wait!” The boy flailed around in a panic “You don't know how to open it! You can’t just smash it open either!” 

“Y-Yeah!” 

Open it. My patience was running low. While they were children and didn’t know better because of their society, I was ready to drown them slowly. 

“Then wouldn’t the pokemon drown?” Keith talked with confidence, like he wasn’t scared of me anymore. 

She won’t. You will. Now open it. 

“Throw it!” The other boy yelled and in a flash the human Keith brought his arm back and threw the ball. 

You imbecile! I growled. I chased after it, I couldn’t see it very well due to its size. I reached my hand out and the ball stopped in front of me. Hovering over the vast ocean. 

The kids would pay, later, the most important thing right now was to open it. 

Great Arceus, please let me open it. I thought. Pokemon center, they can open it. I flew to land as fast as I could, I knew the “comforts” of a pokeball and it’s not pleasant. I can already feel how she feels being scrunched up and probably panicking due to lack of room.

 I hope you can hear me, it’s gonna be alright. I flew above the safety of the clouds, just being able to make out the buildings on the ground. The people looked like tiny ants walking around, hell they are ants compared to me- Got it!. The pokemon center. Its bright red sign attracted many “trainers” and their Pokemon. All of them had scars and bloody bruises. 

MOVE! I threw a pyonic blast to the ground knocking them all back away from the door. I swooped in and glared at the woman cowering in the corner. Open this prison. NOW! I placed the ball on the desk and she shakily got up and grabbed it. 

“M-Mewtwo..” She quivered. 

OPEN IT! A ball of psychic energy formed in my hand. She quickly ran over to a machine that displayed the little one on a screen. She was in a fetal position half asleep and trying to move. Just looking at the space caused the room around me to close in, closer and closer. Tighter. There was no air, no oxygen. I reached for the counter and grabbed on to it. The edge of it steadied me. 

Click! 

Little one? I looked up and the woman stood there, mouth agape. I breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The room filled with oxygen and I just stared at her, smiling and just breathing. 

Berry? Her sweet voice brought small tears to my eyes. 

Come on. I reached out to her and she leapt over, into my arms. I walked out and cameras and phones were out. All of them recording, I did the equivalent of a middle finger.

Huu- A tingling sensation spread up my back. My eyes grew heavy. Oh no. I held the young one tight and flew up and tried to go back to the island. I didn’t make it far, my heavy breathing took over senses. The little ones small squeals. 

Boosh! Crash-landing. No- Please don't take her… My hands go limp and I slowly lose my grip on her. Two men. A Shiinotic… Blurry… 

“Is this a shiny version of Mewtwo?” 

“Maybe a Mewthree?”

“They can hear us… Look at the brain waves…” They were right, I could hear them. I just couldn’t move. 

What… done… My telepathic abilities were foggy and being blocked by something or someone but I know I could get a few words out. Release

“You know we can’t do that. You’ll destroy the lab again.” I knew that voice, that sickening voice that made me want to implode everyone’s head within a 50 mile radius. Giovanni. 

Where...Little? 

“Open your eyes.” 

Paralyzed. He laughed at me, I heard a button click and even through the numbness I could feel a pressure being lifted, I lazily opened my eyes and my head was pounding. 

“Welcome home. Mewtwo.” His voice was filled with horrifying past, his posture so well developed. I hated him for it. 

You made me to be the strongest. What makes you think you can hold me? My psychic barrier was lifted. Which was strange because now I was able to get with ease, but he must know that. What’s he hiding?

“The Mewthree that you had asked about earlier, she’s alive. Shes your… how should I put this? Daughter? Genetically cloned equal-” 

Shut up! Where is she! I never thought of her as a daughter, but the dots connect. If they used my DNA then it’s completely possible that she’d be my offspring.
