I Need Some Plot Advice!

[ShivaDF]

A while ago I wrote a fanfiction that involved Mr. Fuji's experiments with cloning Mew. I decided that Fuji held a lot of promise as a character, so I started writing a fanfiction that stars him. Unfortunately, I think I'm stuck. Here's the premise (it's game-verse):

Spoiler:

Years ago, before the Pokemon Tower was turned into the Kanto Radio Tower, Mr. Fuji knew that moving the graves out of the building and underground was wrong (moving graves away from an auspicious location disturbs the spirits). However, the other citizens of Lavender Town loved the idea, so Fuji became too timid to speak up against the project.

Unfortunately, after Reina goes off on her own pokemon journey and Fuji is alone, a Dusknoir appears in Lavender Town, angry that the Radio Tower is messing up the signals it's supposed to receive from the other world. It starts stealing the souls of the Radio Tower's staff as revenge.

Now, it's up to Fuji to take responsibility for his actions and to find a way to solve this problem. He's trapped inside the Radio Tower by Ghost-types, and the only he has with him is a Blue Flute that was given to him by Blaine.

So, I'm currently at the end of the second chapter, where the Dusknoir confronts Fuji, steals his soul, and take him off to the spirit world to be tortured for his failure to stop the project. What I need is for Fuji to relive some a part of his life when he should have taken action, but didn't. This is the one part of the story I can't figure out. The obvious choice is what he did to Mew and Mewtwo, but I need something to be slightly off so that Fuji realizes it's an illusion and wakes up by using the flute. What kind of scene do you recommend, and what should clue him in to the fact that it's an illusion and not real? I was thinking of something to do with Blaine since he's Fuji's only named friend in the games, but I don't know what should happen exactly.

Maybe something to do with Tenma, the guy who lost his daughter Amber and tried to clone her. Maybe they knew each other and Fuji wanted to tell him to stop because he'd regret it, but he sees the man's pain and doesn't do anything, or maybe he starts to do something, but decides not to

Maybe he's watching Mewtwo wreck the lab, and he notices that when Mewtwo passes by his shattered tube that his reflection in the glass is the Dusknoir?

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still kinda stuck :/ I think I need a case where Fuji should have been assertive, but wasn't. I realized that my whole fanfic is actually about what happens when you don't speak up.

You how know it the "Pokemon Origins" special, Fuji gives Red the keystone and Charizardite? Well, maybe have it so he discovers mega evolution, but he didn't tell anyone. Eventually, someone stole his research and took all of the credit. I know it's not that deep or anything, but it just popped into my head.

Hey, I can do something with the Mega Evolutions of Mewtwo! Thanks! I'll post the story shortly.
