AN/Man, no reviews. I?m going to be starting a PM list so tell me if you want to be on it!
Chapter 5
Mewtwo stared at the pink cat for a while. She stared at him, looking as though she was his mother or sister. <Mewtwo?I cannot believe you would do something as foolish as this. When I trusted you with this position, I assumed you would use it for good, not capture everyone?s Pokemon like this.>
Mewtwo tossed his head aside. <Mew, I was never happy to be in this position. I was told that humans use me as their slave. I once thought I could work with a human and harness my powers, but I realized soon after that I was wrong. Humans can never work with Pokemon.>
?That?s wrong, Mewtwo,? I said, getting up slowly. Even more blood was pouring down my back, making my white shirt a deep red. I slowly walked up to him and stared up into his icy blue eyes. ?Pokemon are considered equal to humans by many. They help us and we help them. That?s just how it is.?
Mew flew over to me, and placed one hand on my head. The blood stopped seeping down my shirt, and immediately I felt better. I checked my shirt and no red was visible anywhere. ?Thanks Mew,? I said happily.
<You deserved it. One of such high courage as you?maybe together we could stop Mewtwo.>
I nodded. ?Mewtwo, you need to stop this. You can?t go around capturing people?s Pokemon; it?s not right and it?s unfair to them and to you.?
Mewtwo turned his head to watch me carefully. He didn?t want to hurt me, I could tell. But I couldn?t love him, not after what he had put me through. I had never even loved him in the first place.
Mewtwo watched Mew then, staring hardly. I took this opportunity and grabbed Ash?s arm, then ran out of the battlefield. I looked around wildly inside the large castle. ?There?s got to be something in here that can stop Mewtwo!? I whined. Ash leaned against the wall.
?Like what?? he asked.
?Like?I don?t know, something that will weaken him or something like that.?
?Yeah, OK, Mewtwo just keeps all the things that can weaken him in his own house, where he invited hundreds of trainers to battle him. I believe that.?
?Well he?s got to have some weakness.?
?You, duh; didn?t you see how he stopped when you were talking to him??
?You don?t get this, Ash. I DON?T HAVE A CRUSH ONHIM! HE HAS A CRUSH ON ME! AND I DON?T WANT TO SPEND MY DAYS LIVING IN SOME OLD CASTLE WITH A DEMENTED POKEMON!? I yelled, shaking him.
?OK, OK!? Ash said, holding his hands up. ?I get it. Gee, yell in my ear why don?t ya??
?I can.?
?I was being rhetorical.?
?I wasn?t.?
Ash backed away a little. I could tell he knew I was about to punch him. By accident, he bumped into some machinery or whatever. It looked like one of those little treadmills, only the conveyor belt on the treadmill was moving like an actual conveyor belt. The black PokeBalls were filtering from the conveyor belt into the wall, or at least a hole in the wall. I turned around and saw that the PokeBalls were coming out from another hole in the wall, and above the door was a huge silhouette of each Pokemon on a greenish screen.
?Oh, oh! I know that one! That?s a Sycther!? Ash yelled like a maniac. I slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark.
?Pull yourself together, man!? I yelled. ?Mewtwo could come after us any minute!?
Ash sighed. ?OK. I?ll stop my insane guessing game.?
I nodded. ?I would appreciate that.? I walked over to the black PokeBalls and picked it up, feeling the leathery texture in my hands. I pressed the small silver button in the middle which split the PokeBall into two hemispheres. In the same blinding flash of black, Blastoise appeared. ?Blast!? it yelled.
?Hiya, Shellshocker!? I said happily. ?OK, let?s see what else we got.?
I picked another PokeBall up off of the conveyor belt and released the Pokemon inside. This one was the same large dinosaur Pokemon I had seen earlier. It was the Venusaur named FruitFruit.
?Vena!? it yelled, slamming down its foot.
?This is fun,? I giggled, and sent out one more. It was a large butterfly, around three feet. It flapped its enormous white wings and flew around yelling, ?Free! Free!? I smiled happily. ?Well if that isn?t the cutest thing I?ve ever seen.?
Ash was practically falling over laughing. ?What?!? I asked. ?I?m allowed to like butterflies, aren?t I??
Ash shook his head.
?Shut up, moron.?
Butterfree alit on the conveyor belt and smiled, although it had no mouth. Its eyes showed that it was very delighted. ?Free, free!? it yelled again, and I put one finger to my lips to quiet it down. I held out my spear, almost forgetting that I had it. ?If any of you are loud you?ll have to answer to this,? I said. The Pokemon immediately quieted down and I smiled. ?Good, you understand. All right, let?s get to work.? I ran over to the other hole in the wall.
?Wow; come over here Ash, you won?t believe this!? I said. Ash ran over, and his eyes filled with the same scary kind of fear that mine had upon seeing them. Lined up across the wall were hundreds of tubes, each one filled with a copy of a Pokemon inside of it. Strange markings dotted the life forms and they appeared to be asleep as orange bubbles filled the tube.
?What are they?? Ash asked.
?Pokemon, you dufus! Or at least copies of Pokemon?? Then it hit me. Mewtwo. A?clone?
?Ash?Mewtwo?s a clone of Mew. And he?s trying to take over the world or something with all the clones from the Pokemon he captured. It is insanity! He?s trying to take over the world with a ton of cloned Pokemon!? I yelled. Unfortunately, just then Blastoise, Venusaur, and Butterfree started yelling because I had, and ran around like total maniacs.
?Stop it, you guys!? I said in a hushed whisper. ?We have to go fight Mewtwo again.?
They all quieted down, and I walked by the tubes, touching each one. ?He probably has all the Pokemon in the world here,? I muttered. Then I spotted something even more interesting. In three separate tubes were a large icy blue bird, which had an amazingly long tail, a thunder yellow bird with wings that seemed to be filled with sharp edges, and a red fiery bird that had its wings on fire. They were sleeping, but they seemed to be better than the other Pokemon from their looks.
?Ash?come here,? I said quietly. He obeyed. ?Take out your Pokedex,? I commanded, and he did so. ?Now analyze these three Pokemon.?
Ash held out his Pokedex, and it clicked on. First was the ice bird. ?Articuno, the Freeze Pokemon, Articuno is a legendary bird Pokemon that can control ice. The flapping of its wings chills the air. As a result, it is said that when this Pokemon flies, snow will fall.?
?Now the thunder one.?
?Zapdos, the Electric Pokemon, Zapdos is a legendary bird Pokemon that has the ability to control electricity. It usually lives in thunderclouds. The Pokemon gains power if it is stricken by lightning bolts.?
?The fire one.?
?Moltres, the Flame Pokemon, Moltres is a legendary bird Pokemon that has the ability to control fire. If this Pokemon is injured, it is said to dip its body in the molten magma of a volcano to burn and heal itself.?
?Interesting,? I said. ?Legendary bird Pokemon would probably be strong enough to stop Mewtwo. Should we find the originals?? I asked. Ash nodded.
?But how do we know which ones are the legendary bird?s PokeBalls??
?I don?t know, just pick them up and release them.?
Ash nodded once more, and threw a PokeBall from the conveyor belt onto the floor. By amazing luck, the PokeBall burst open to reveal Moltres. It started screeching wildly, flying around the castle and making a riot.
?Moltres, calm down!? I yelled. ?It?s OK; we?re here to help you. Can you help us defeat Mewtwo? He?s the one that captured you. He?s evil.?
Moltres calmed down for a little while, landed on the floor, and tossed its head which had flames growing out of it. From the way it looked Moltres had nodded to me. It must have been observing human behavior from where it rested in the clouds.
I picked another PokeBall, and threw it. Man, this was my lucky day. Zapdos appeared, and electricity sparkled from one wing to the other. I told him the same exact thing, and he nodded as well.
Ash threw the last one, and it opened to reveal Articuno, the legendary ice Pokemon. The same exact thing happened, and I went up to Articuno. By far it was the most beautiful, and its ice blue feathers reflected in the light. ?Articuno?do you think I could ride you?? I asked. Articuno seemed to be thinking, and then nodded.
I smiled (REALLY wide, mind you), and Articuno leaned down. I swung my leg over her back, and mounted in between her wings. She unfurled her wings and flapped into the air, then fired an icy beam at the door, freezing it. She nodded to Moltres, and she opened her mouth. From the back of her throat came a huge spiral of flames; this hit the door and melted the ice, breaking the fragile door as well into a million pieces.
Ash boarded Moltres and she rose into the air as well, flapping her enormous fire-covered wings towards the battlefield.
Mewtwo was enveloped in a blue ball of light, and Mew was enveloped in a pink one. They were hitting each other with the spheres, neither seeming to be winning. Articuno turned her head to look at me. <This is the one?> she asked in telepathy.
?You can talk?? I asked.
<Yes. I do not talk to humans who are not worthy though. Since you released me from that wretched thing,> Articuno stretched her wings as if to prove how truly terrible the PokeBall was. <I am forever in your debt. Now?the one in the blue light; is he the one?>
?Yep. We need to defeat him; he?s gone crazy with creating clones.?
Articuno nodded. Moltres and Zapdos rose into the air, and the trainers still below watched the legendary birds fly through the air, in awe of being in the presence of such rare Pokemon.
<Mewtwo! This must stop!> Articuno yelled.
Mewtwo turned to Articuno. <So Vanyx, you managed to release the original Pokemon. No matter.>
Mewtwo?s psychic powers lifted Articuno high into the air, and then slammed her down onto the battlefield. I clutched her feathers as to not be completely shattered by the blow. ?Articuno, are you all right?? I asked.
<No,> she choked out.
