Mystic Mewtwo
A New Destiny
Part 8

Disclaimer: Don’t own Pokemon. Nintendo, 4Kids, etc., does.

Ok, guys. This is the part you’ve all been waiting for.
I apologize for the delay, but believe me, it will be worth it.
This part contains sexual activity, and brief gun violence.

When I awoke the next morning, I was feeling refreshed, and somewhat a little stronger. Although, it would be a little while longer, before I regained my full strength. Mewtwo was still asleep, so I decided not to wake him. He was awake almost half the night, worrying about me.
He deserved to sleep as long as he liked.

I tried not to think about it, but I couldn’t help wondering. What would have happened, if I hadn’t lived?
I knew for certain that life for him would’ve come to a screeching halt. I also knew that he, himself, would end his own life.
It wasn’t worth living, without me.

I began to feel tears in my eyes. It was perhaps the first time, that I knew of, that anyone simply could not go on existing without me.
I succeeded in fighting them back, but I still felt as if I were going to cry. The feeling subsided not too long after, though. Why play “What If?” It was only asking for trouble. I was alive, and I would soon get well. So, why create an abstract situation?

I carefully nestled deeper in Mewtwo’s fur, closing my eyes in content. Relishing in the warmth of his body, and just feeling him close to me.
I dozed off for a little while. Awakening, again, just a little bit before he did.
He opened his eyes. Blinking them sleepily, in the early morning light.

Good morning, love, I said, softly.

He smiled warmly down at me.

Good morning, my love, he returned, just as softly.

He gently brushed back a lock my hair, that had fallen across my cheek.
He kissed me delicately on the lips. Which shortly after, we began engaging in extremely, immensely, passionate kissing. I can’t say for sure how long we did it, but it really didn’t matter. Time, as far as it was concerned, did not exist. Neither did anything else, for that matter.
Call it as sort of a delayed celebration.

After a while, we stopped, and he just held me closely. My head gently resting against his chest, his head gingerly resting on mine.
He was gently fondling my private lovingly. I moaned softly with delight, every so often. This was making me feel much better. Better than any medical treatment, that was for sure.

I didn’t think I’d be able to eat anything, when he inquired me about breakfast, but he strongly insisted that I try.
I agreed, though a bit reluctantly. He released his hold of me, and then, kissing me softly on the lips. He got up from the bed. Picking up the blanket, earlier casted aside, and wrapping it snugly around me. To keep from getting chilled. He gingerly brushed back a lock of my hair. That had, yet again, fallen across my cheek. He kissed me once more. Then, giving me a smile, teleported away.

It wasn’t long after he left, that there came a soft, quiet, knock on the door.
I froze.

‘Oh, shit! Not now!’ I thought, frantically.

I was imagining chaos, and destruction, when I heard a quiet voice say,
“Ki? If you’re here, open the door, please. It’s Maxi.”

Maxi!
I knew she wasn’t going to hurt me, or Mewtwo, and she wouldn’t tell on us either.

I’m here, just give me a second, I called to her, in telepathy.

I had just enough power, and strength, to unlock the door.
Maxi slipped in. She was carrying a duffel bag; my duffel bag.
She closed the door, softly, and locked it again.

“Whew!” she said, “The whole place is in a whirl of chaos. I was lucky to get here unnoticed.”

She looked at me, and then, at the surroundings.

“I kind of guessed you, and Mewtwo would hit it off pretty well,” she remarked, giving me just a hint of a sly smile.

I blushed a little.

How did you know? I asked, a little sheepishly.

She smiled again.

“For one thing, you told me you liked him,” she replied, “And from the sound of your voice, when you talked about him.”

“Another thing,” she added, “Was I overheard the boss talking to someone, about when you, and Mewtwo first met. He said the way you two just kept staring, at one another, was downright freaky to him.”

I blushed again.

I admit, it was love at first sight, I replied, Yes. It was freaky, at first, but it turned out pretty well.

I casted a look at my duffel bag, in her hand.

Why do you have that? I asked her, pointing to it.

“I packed up all your stuff, and brought it here,” Maxi answered, “Because it’s too dangerous for you to stay any longer.”

I can’t leave just now, I told her, immediately after, I’ve had a really bad accident, that nearly caused me to die. I’m not strong enough yet, and I’m certainly not leaving without Mewtwo.

“Then, what will you do?” she asked, “When they eventually find the two of you, it’s not going to be pleasant.”

I lowered my head, staring at the pattern of the blanket.
I didn’t know what we’d do. My condition put us in a pretty tight spot.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a brilliant, ice blue, light, and I knew Mewtwo had returned. The light faded, and he was standing near the bed, right next to me. A piece of fruit in his hand. He sat on the bed. Giving me the fruit, an apple, and gently pulling me into his lap.

Miss me, love? he asked, a bit playful.

Very much so, I replied, just as playful.

He kissed me softly on the lips.
He, then, caught sight of Maxi, and began glaring menacingly at her.

What are you doing here? he asked, growling softly.

“Easy, I’m a friend, I’m here to help you,” Maxi answered.

It’s okay, love, I said, She’s proven to be trustworthy, and she can be trusted not to reveal our whereabouts.

He sighed, giving in.
He trusted my word.

All right, my love, he replied, If she is as you say, then she can stay. But I’ll still keep a watchful eye on her.

At least he was letting her stay. So, I didn’t protest, otherwise.
I knew he was only trying to protect us.

“As I was saying before,” Maxi spoke up, “It’s not safe for the two of you to remain here any longer.”

Mewtwo gave her a concerned frown.

Why? What has happened? he asked.

“Just about everything you can imagine,” she answered, “Chaos, panic, calamity. The whole building is on red alert.”

Then, they must have discovered the body, Mewtwo remarked, quietly.

Maxi raised an eyebrow in question.

Long story, I told her.

“What exactly happened?” she asked, curiously.

I’ll tell you exactly what happened, Mewtwo interrupted, a bit angrily, That god-damned, freakin’, jackass Jake nearly killed her!

His voice began wavering near the end.
He held me closer. Cradling my head gingerly against his chest, with his hand. Resting his head on mine.
He was trying hard not to cry, and I was fighting back my own tears.

“I’m sorry,” Maxi said, softly, “I didn’t know it was this bad.”

We were all silent for a little while.

“You have to make a decision,” she spoke up, again, quietly, “I’ve given you as much advanced warning as I can, but you have to decide whether to stay or leave.”

We would leave, Mewtwo answered, But Ki is not strong enough, yet, to travel.

He gently began caressing my cheek.

I will not leave her, either, he added, forcibly.

“I don’t know what else for you to do,” Maxi replied, grimly.

Suddenly, the door was kicked in, and we all gasped in surprise, and horror.
Standing in the doorway, was Giovanni, his arms crossed.

“But we do,” he said, “Surround them.”

A team of Rockets, armed with tranquilizer hand guns, stormed in. Forming a ring around Mewtwo, and I.
Maxi was left outside it, staring at the scene in horror.

“Stop this now!” she yelled at Giovanni, “What the hell are you doing?!”

“Simply cleaning house,” he answered, sinisterly.

I was very frightened. I didn’t know what he was going to do to us.
Mewtwo held me protectively, against him, glaring furiously at Giovanni.

You are not going to do anything! he hissed, angrily.

“I’m afraid that is entirely out of the question,” Giovanni answered, “If you care anything about the girl, you’ll surrender peaceably. Otherwise, we’ll be forced to hurt her.”

Mewtwo’s angry expression quickly began dissolving, into one of pure devastation. I looked up at him, my eyes beginning to fill with tears. His eyes were also brimming with tears.

Go, my love, I whispered, in a choked voice, Forget me. Leave, please.

The tears began streaming down my cheeks.

Never, my love, he whispered, softly, I will never leave you.

He gently cradled my head against his chest, resting his head softly on mine.

“Take her,” Giovanni, suddenly, commanded a Rocket.

I was, then, roughly snatched out of Mewtwo’s arms.

Leave her alone! he roared.

His tail lashed out at the Rocket’s ankles, pulling him off balance.
Mewtwo caught me in his arms quickly, after the Rocket dropped me. Three tranquilizers were fired at us, but Mewtwo blocked them, using Barrier. Maxi, taking the advantage, began forcing her way through the ring. She knocked out a few Rockets, and ran inside. Skidding to a stop, next to us. She snatched up my duffel bag, slinging it over her shoulder.

Mewtwo gave me a soft, quick, kiss on my lips. Before setting me down on my feet, supporting against Maxi’s shoulder.
He gently caressed my cheek.

Get her out of here, he told Maxi, quietly, before teleporting us out of the training facilities.

Maxi, and I reappeared outside, in the hall.
Between my room, and the building’s back exit.

“We need to get you some clothes on first, before we leave,” Maxi remarked to me.

I looked down at myself, noticing I was only wearing the blanket.
The word here is, oops. I felt my cheeks growing hot, blushing a deep crimson.

“Come on,” she said, smiling, “Let’s go to your room, so you can get dressed.”

We managed to get to the room. Where she sat me on the bed, and began dressing me.
She dug out a pair of shorts, and a t-shirt, from the duffel bag.

I’ve really gotta hand it to her, she was simply amazing.
She’d packed all of my things, missing nothing, and laboriously made her way to Mewtwo’s room. There, she tried rescuing us, by giving warning to leave. Now, she was dressing me, and getting me to safety.
I could never be able to repay her for her kindness, and courage. It took real stamina to do what she did.

Maxi pulled the shorts up on me, and stood me up. Supporting me by the shoulders long enough for me to pull them up around my hips, and fasten them.
She sat me back down, on the bed. Pulling the t-shirt down over me, next.
I was dressed now. Minus bra, shoes, and undergarment.
My bra, and shoes were still in his room, and I’ve already expressed my feelings about the other thing.

Maxi dug out my hairbrush from the bag, and began running it through my hair. It was quick, but it sufficiently did the job. Of keeping my hair straight, and flat.
She tossed the brush back in the duffel bag, zipping it closed.

She stood me up again. Slinging both my bag, and my arm around her shoulder. She looked at me for a minute.

What? I asked, suspicious.

Maxi began smiling.

“Nothing,” she replied, “Except, now, I see why Mewtwo is so gaga over you. You’re extraordinarily beautiful.”

My face began growing hot, with pleased embarrassment.
I knew Mewtwo thought I was pretty, but beautiful? And to such an extent?

I don’t know about that, I replied.

“What, are you kidding?” she answered, “Even some of the most beautiful girls here pale, in comparison to you. They would literally kill to have your beauty.”

I began blushing a deep red.
Was I really as beautiful, as she said? Did Mewtwo see me this way, also?
It didn’t really make all that much difference. Whether he did, or didn’t, but it would be nice to know if he did.

“Come on, we’ve gotta go,” Maxi said, cutting into my thoughts.

I leaned against her shoulder, lightly.
So, it wouldn’t seem like I was crushing her. We made our way out the door, into the hall. Walking the few hundred feet to the back exit. We emerged outside, in the bright sunlight of early afternoon. We made our way across the yard. Where Maxi pushed against the supposedly electrified fence, on the opposite side, opening a concealed gate.

How......? I started.

“Did I know that was there?” she finished, “I have my ways of finding out things.”

You’re amazing, I told her, simply.

“Thanks,” she replied, smiling, “Now, let’s get the hell out of here.”

We went through the gate, and slowly, painstakingly, began sliding our way down the steep hill.
When we reached the base of the hill, I looked back up at the fortress, only once. Praying that Mewtwo was all right.
**************************

Now, Ki was safely out of harms way, in the care of a girl he now trusted.
Mewtwo could finish off the Rockets, and Giovanni. That is, if he was lucky.
He succeeded in annihilating most of them. Although, a few lucky ones managed to escape. Giovanni was the only one brave, or foolish, enough to remain with him.
Mewtwo began glaring murderously at him.

Is this how you treat one of your equals, as you’ve treated me? he asked, angrily.

Giovanni began chuckling lightly.
Which increased Mewtwo’s anger more.

“You have never been my equal,” Giovanni replied.

Mewtwo was staring at him, dumbfounded.
Why was he informing him, that he was not?

Why have you said we were partners, equals, if it were not true? Mewtwo inquired.

“You were only created to serve me, not rule with me, and that is your only purpose,” Giovanni answered.

Mewtwo began lowering his gaze from Giovanni.
Was this why he was here, to be a slave? His destiny was not this, to be a human’s slave. With the exception of Ki, in she being different. Acting in no way like a human, and because he loved her so much. He didn’t hate her, but he hated the others.
Mewtwo looked back up, with new fire in his eyes. Focusing them directly at Giovanni.

No, that is not my purpose, he told him, icily, I may have been created by humans, but they cannot enslave me. That is not my destiny.

Mewtwo’s whole body began glowing bright ice blue.
Releasing a powerful blast, the entire building exploded.
**************************

Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion began rocking the countryside.
To our absolute horror, Headquarters erupted into flames.

No! I began screaming, Mewtwo!

I started sobbing uncontrollably. Maxi holding me, in sorrowful comfort.
I was trembling like a frightened animal, as the sobs racked through my body.

I heard Maxi suddenly gasping, in quiet surprise. I began wondering why, as she loosened her hold on me. I suddenly felt being lifted up off the ground, and someone else was holding me.
Someone with a strong, yet gentle, hold.

Don’t cry, my angel love, I heard a soft, male, voice say.

Opening my eyes, quickly, I could see through the blurred wetness of my tears. The most wonderful sight in the entire universe, Mewtwo.
I began weeping with joy. As he held me in his arms, gingerly cradling my head against his chest.

When I heard the explosion, and saw the flames, I thought........ Oh, god! I sobbed out, unable to go on.

I began crying a fresh new wave of tears.
He gently held my head closer against his chest. Resting his head softly on mine.

Shhh, he whispered, softly, Everything is all right now, my angel. I’m here, and I won’t ever leave you.

Mewtwo gently took hold of my chin. Tilting my head slightly upwards, to his face. He gave me a soft, passionate, kiss on my lips. Totally under the spell of that one kiss, I began to stop crying.
He didn’t unlock the hold, on our lips, after that one. He, or rather we, continued kissing. Passionately, is a relatively small, and very weak, word. To describing in how we were kissing, because it could not begin to.

He shifted his hold of me, slightly. Beginning to feel his hand slowly slipping down, into the front of my shorts.
He gently, absolutely lovingly, began caressing my bare private. I began moaning softly with absolute ecstasy.
If there was ever another time I wanted to have sex with him, it was now. He felt the same as I did.
We would’ve done so, if not being in the current situation we were in.

We stopped kissing, but Mewtwo didn’t stop caressing my private.
Oh, god! I never wanted him to, either.
He gingerly rested his head on mine.

Maxi had been watching us, quietly.
Standing a little distance away, in the form of respect.

“I never realized how much you two love each other,” she remarked, softly.

We looked at her.
She seemed a bit sad, somehow, as if she had once loved someone.

Thank you, for your help, Mewtwo told her, gratefully.

Maxi smiled.

“Don’t mention it,” she answered, “I was just helping out where I was needed.”

“Plus,” she added, shifting her gaze to the charred remains of Team Rocket Headquarters, “I was just itching to get out of Team Rocket.”

Mewtwo nodded his head understandingly.

Where will you go now? he asked.

“Probably back home,” Maxi replied, “But the more important question is, where will you and Ki go?”

Mewtwo looked back at me. We really never thought of that.
Maxi noticed our hesitation at answering.

“Since Ki isn’t completely well, she can stay with me, until she recovers,” she began, “That way, you won’t have to worry so much about her, while you try to find a place.”

It sounded like a pretty good plan to me.
I looked at Mewtwo. He was considering Maxi’s words carefully through his mind. Then, he nodded his head, smiling at me.

All right, he finally answered Maxi.

She smiled.

“My home isn’t far from here,” she said, “I live in Pallet Town, with my uncle actually.”

“His name is Professor Oak,” she continued, “He’s the famous Pokemon researcher.”

I visited Pallet Town, the day before, I remarked.

That’s where I was, if I worried you, my love, I added, softly, to Mewtwo, I’m sorry, if I did.

He nuzzled my cheek gently.

It’s been forgiven, my love, he said, As well as forgotten.

His hand, still in my shorts, began inching lower along my private.
He began fondling it, again. In a different area, at where he stopped.
I closed my eyes, moaning softly with pure pleasure.

“If you guys are ready,” I heard Maxi say, “We can go now.”

I opened my eyes, again, and nodded. Mewtwo doing the same.
He teleported us to Pallet Town, where we luckily managed to avoid startling anyone.

“There’s the house,” Maxi said, pointing to the strange building I saw previously.

Your uncle lives there? I asked her, incredulously.

“Pretty cool, isn’t it?” she replied, smiling, “We can get in through the back door.”

She began walking, leading us to the back of the building.
As she mentioned before, we were able to get in through the back door.

“We’ll have to be quiet, so as not to disturb my uncle,” she told us, “There are some rooms down the hall. Follow me, and I’ll take you to one.”

She led us down the hall to a room at the end, opening the door.

“You can stay here for now,” Maxi said, “But I really need to let my uncle know I have visitors.”

I really wish you wouldn’t, Mewtwo answered her.

“I wish I didn’t either,” Maxi replied, “But I really must, as he doesn’t like surprise visitors much.”

“I promise, though, he won’t hurt you,” she added.

Very well, Mewtwo complied, reluctantly.

I wasn’t liking the idea anymore than he was.
We went inside the room, which was no more than a simple bedroom.

“You guys stay here,” Maxi told us, “It won’t take long before I come back, with my uncle.”

She left, closing the door behind her.
Mewtwo set me down on the bed. Sitting down on the bed beside me, shortly after. He gently pulled me back to him, in his lap. I rested my head softly against his chest, his head gingerly resting on top of it.
He began stroking my hair.

What place shall I look for us? he asked me, softly.

As long as you are with me, it matters not, I replied, quietly, nestling in his fur.

He smiled.

Then, I will build us a place, he answered.

What will you build? I asked, softly.

He thought for a moment.

A magnificent palace, he replied, after a minute, You shall see.

I smiled at him, and he smiled back.
He gave me a soft kiss on my lips. Turning into passionate kissing, a few seconds later. We stopped a minute, and he gently began laying me against the bed. His hands going to my shorts, unfastening them. He slipped them down, and off of me, tossing them on the floor. I had nothing but my t-shirt on. He laid gently down, beside me, pressing his body gingerly against mine. I felt the needle prick, about a second later. Feeling absolutely joyful to be having sex again. It began turning very vivid, absolutely passionate, a few seconds later. I began moaning softly in absolute ecstasy, and immense pleasure.

I was thoroughly loving this.
As I know he was, as well. Heaven only knew how much we wanted to keep right on doing it, but Maxi said she would not be long in coming back. We stopped, him sitting up. To pick up my shorts, from off the floor.
He slipped them back on me. Where I pulled them up to my hips, and fastened them. He brought me up to a sitting position, back in his lap.

He softly kissed me on my lips.
Breaking off in the nick of time, for Maxi was now coming back with her uncle.
**************************

“Maxine,” Prof. Oak started, using Maxi’s full name, “I wish you would tell me who your friends are.”

Maxi shook her head.

“I want you to meet them,” she replied.

“I’m sure they are nice,” he answered, “But I really must get back to my research.”

“I’ve had numerous reports about an unknown Pokemon being at the Viridian Gym, before it was destroyed,” Prof. Oak continued, “I’m trying to find a match to their descriptions.”

Maxi began smiling at his explanation.

“One of my friends can help you with that, Uncle Samuel,” she replied.

“Really?” he asked, interested.

“If he can’t, then, he’s either lying, or is a master with trick mirrors,” she answered, trying not to laugh.

“What do you mean?” Prof. Oak asked, very confused.

He never could quite understand her way of talking.

“Never mind, Uncle Samuel,” Maxi said, giving a slight chuckle, “You’ll see.”

“Also,” she added, “My other friend needs a bit of medical treatment. Can you help her?”

“I could try,” Prof. Oak answered, a bit concerned, “But Nurse Joy is better equipped in that field.”

Maxi nodded her head in understandment.

“I’ll page her if it becomes necessary,” she said.

They walked down the remainder of the hallway, in silence.
They were approaching the end of the hall. When Maxi stopped a bit suddenly, before reaching the room.
Prof. Oak stopped walking also.

“What is it?” he asked her.

“Only, that I should warn you,” she answered, “The one who can help you with the Pokemon mystery is a bit close to my other friend. Don’t be alarmed, if it’s not what it should be.”

Prof. Oak gave her a confused look, but didn’t respond to her explanation.
They walked the short distance to the door of the room. Maxi put her hand on the doorknob, and began turning it.
**************************

Mewtwo and I watched a little anxiously, as the door began opening.
Revealing Maxi shortly after, with her uncle behind her. He came in, standing beside her. He was a man around in his late 50’s, or so. He wasn’t tall, but he wasn’t short either. Around an average height, about 5’5. He had gray hair, and black eyes. He wore a red shirt, and khaki pants. A loosely opened white lab coat covered most of the ensemble. On his feet, he wore brown loafers.

He was staring at us a bit strangely.
The expression on his face was hard to interpret.

“You never told me he was a Pokemon,” he remarked, quietly, to Maxi.

She shrugged.

“I did say he could be beneficial in helping you out,” she answered.

He began shaking his head in disbelief.

“I’ve never seen a Pokemon quite like him,” he answered, “He’s extraordinarily remarkable.”

He began fishing around in his lab coat pocket.
I watched curiously as he pulled out a red, rectangle-shaped, device. A Pokedex.
I’ve seen them before, when I watched trainers at Sabrina’s gym begin pulling them out. After a pokemon they didn’t know would be called out.

I felt Mewtwo beginning to tense.
As Maxi’s uncle held out the Pokedex, towards him.

Easy, my love, I told him, gently, It won’t hurt us, it’s a tiny computer. He’s only trying to find out who you are.

Why does he not ask me, then? Mewtwo asked, a bit agitated, Instead of the red box?

I stifled a giggle.

That’s the way they are, I replied, They’d rather consult the Pokedex, or the red box as you put it, than to ask the Pokemon outright.

Pitiful, he answered, shaking his head.

This time, I couldn’t help it, I started laughing.
He started grinning at me.

What’s so funny? he asked.

You are, I gasped out, I’ve never......

I was overcome by another fit of giggles, making it impossible to go on.
Realizing what I had tried to say, he began laughing too. Hearing our laughter, Maxi, and her uncle, looked at us like we had gone insane. Seeing their expressions, on their faces, only made us laugh a little harder.

After a couple of minutes, our laughter began dying down.
Another minute later, we were quiet, but I had tears in my eyes. Mewtwo was still smiling.
Tired from the exertion, I leaned against his chest, in happy exhaustion. The laughing only reminded me of how weak I still was.
Mewtwo’s smile turned into a concerned frown.

Are you all right, my angel? he asked me.

Just tired, is all, my love, I answered, wearily, closing my eyes as I nestled deeper in his fur.

I shouldn’t have made you laugh, he replied, guiltily.

He gently began caressing my cheek.

I’m happy you did, it made everything seem right again, I murmured, softly.

I felt his head starting to rest delicately on mine.

I’m happy that I made you happy, my angel love, he whispered, quietly.

Sighing deeply, I soon fell asleep.
**************************

He wished he hadn’t made her laugh so much. Although, Mewtwo had enjoyed hearing her laughter again.
It had been a while since they last found anything amusing. Lately, everything was pain, and suffering.
She was right, that it made everything feel right again.

He knew deep down, though, that things were far from being the same again.
His trust in humans was sharply declining. The only human he trusted now, aside from Ki, was the girl named Maxi. The uncle, he was still wary of him. The red box, uh, Pokedex, he pointed at him did not help Mewtwo at all. In deciding, whether, or not, to accept him.

They were watching him now, Ki asleep in his lap.
Maxi’s uncle was staring at him, in fascination. Finding Mewtwo more important, than the one who really was needing the attention.
Ki was of more importance than himself now. She needed help.

He found that Maxi shared his feelings, by the expression on her face.
Mewtwo looked pleadingly at her, and she nodded her head. Understanding what he was getting at.

“Uncle Samuel,” Maxi started, “I think we’d better focus on what’s really important now, and that would be the girl.”

Prof. Oak glanced at her.

“I need to get this information written down, right now,” he answered.

“It can wait,” Maxi replied, sharply, “The girl is more important.”

“In a minute,” Prof. Oak said, distractedly.

Mewtwo was listening to their conversation. Beginning to get angry at the uncle’s disconcerned attitude for Ki.
The last sentence made him become infuriated.

Listen to her, god-dammit! he yelled, at the uncle.

Mewtwo succeeded in getting his attention, then.
Prof. Oak’s head jerked up from the notes he was writing.

“What in the world?!” he asked, incredulously, “Did you say something, Maxi?”

She gave him an irritating look.

“I did, but he was the one who said something, this time,” Maxi replied, pointing in Mewtwo’s direction.

Prof. Oak looked in that direction, seeing the Pokemon.

“Impossible,” he answered, in disbelief.

I should think not, Mewtwo countered, irritably.

Prof. Oak took a step back, in shock.

“You spoke,” he stammered out.

Would you like me to say more? Mewtwo asked, smirking.

This, in his opinion, was one pitiful human.
Some famous researcher he was. You’d think, with all the Pokemon there were out there, that he would at least know of one like himself.

Now, he continued, Ki needs help. Are you going to give it to her, or do I need to make you?

“I’m assuming Ki is the girl with you?” Prof. Oak addressed Mewtwo, after getting over the surprise of hearing him speak.

‘God, help him,’ Mewtwo thought, exasperated.

He was about ready to throw the man into the wall.
Perhaps it would help, in knocking some sense into him.

Yes, he answered, slowly, as if speaking to a child.

At the rate this was taking, Mewtwo himself could’ve already helped Ki.
She stirred slightly in his lap, but settled immediately, once he began stroking her hair. Sleeping was best for her, until she got treatment. Which he hoped would be now.

“I’ll go get Nurse Joy,” Maxi said, immediately afterwards.

It wasn’t long before she returned with a young, petite, woman.
She had strawberry red hair, pinned into ridiculous loops, and blue eyes. She was dressed in a short, white, nurse’s outfit. With a white hat, with a red cross, on her head.
Mewtwo looked at her skeptically. This was the human who was going to help Ki?
She would seem more in place at a carnival.

Nurse Joy stared at him in awe.
Mewtwo was, quite frankly, getting sick of this. What was so damn unusual about him?

Can we move to more important matters? he asked, annoyed.

Nurse Joy blinked her eyes a few times in surprise.
But, then, gained back her professional posture. Which makes her so successful, despite her appearance.

“Yes, I agree,” she answered Mewtwo.

She began walking cautiously towards him.
A little nervous under his steady, ever watchful, gaze. She approached him, and the sleeping girl in his lap.
Nurse Joy carried a small, white, bag in her hand. Setting it down on the bed, began pulling out a stethoscope.

Mewtwo looked at it quizzically. What was it supposed to do?
Nurse Joy rubbed the metal end of the stethoscope on her dress, warming it up. She placed the other two ends in her ears.
She stepped closer to the girl, but was suddenly stopped. By a soft, warning, growl.

Mewtwo was still uncertain about the thing in her hand, and didn’t want it touching Ki.
Until, he knew what it did.

“I can’t help her, if you are not willing,” Nurse Joy told him, “You must trust me enough, so that I can.”

His faced softened, loosing its sterness.
Gazing down at Ki, he knew that he must trust this nurse. He did not want to lose his angel. He’d lose his will to live, right along with her.
He stroked her cheek gently.

All right, he answered, softly.

Nurse Joy gave him a small smile, placing the stethoscope’s metal end on the girl’s chest.
Mewtwo watched her carefully. As her face’s expression began turning, into a concerned frown.
He knew what it meant when their face held that expression, it was not good news.

He began to feel as though he’d lost his whole world.
He had to keep himself from crying, in front of them.

“I’m very concerned about the way her heart sounds,” Nurse Joy began speaking, “It’s very weak, it’s a miracle she’s still alive. It seems as though she has lost at least a pint and a half of her blood.”

“What you’re saying is, that she needs a transfusion?” Prof. Oak answered her.

“Yes,” she replied, “Now, if not sooner. We’ll need to find her blood type first.”

She replaced the stethoscope back in the bag. Pulling out a hypodermic syringe, in its place.
Mewtwo eyed the needle, in Nurse Joy’s hand, nervously.

What are you intending to do with that? he asked her.

“I am going to inject it in her arm, to get a sample of her blood,” she answered, “So that I can find out what type it is.”

It won’t hurt her, will it? Mewtwo asked.

“Only for a split second, when I inject in. After that, though, it’s harmless,” she replied.

Very well, he said, sighing deeply.

He didn’t like it hurting Ki, but he wanted her to get well. If this was the only way, then he’d have to let the nurse do it.
Nurse Joy injected the needle in her arm carefully, limiting the pain considerably. Mewtwo saw Ki flinch in her sleep, but only for a second. Her face returned to its peaceful, angelic, expression.

Nurse Joy finished, taking the needle out.
She put a bit of medicine on the place, where the needle had gone in. With the needle still in her hand, now filled with Ki’s blood, she began leaving the room.
She took Prof. Oak with her.

Maxi remained with Mewtwo, and Ki.
She hoped Nurse Joy would be able to help, for his sake at least.
**************************

Nurse Joy began examining the blood under a microscope. Scanning it through a machine, afterwards.
Frowning at the results, she scanned it again. Still confused, she scanned it yet again. No matter how many times she scanned the blood, the answer was always the same. It was of Pokemon origin, as well as human.

“That can’t be,” Nurse Joy said, in disbelief.

“What is it?” Prof. Oak suddenly asked, after hearing her speak a loud.

“I drew blood from a human girl, yet this machine is telling me some is Pokemon origin,” she answered.

“Are you sure?” Prof. Oak asked.

“I’m positive,” Nurse Joy replied, “Here, scan it for yourself.”

She gave him the sample of blood.
He scanned it, getting the same results as Nurse Joy.

“Unbelievable,” Prof. Oak said, baffled, “Do we know which Pokemon?”

“I’ll see,” Nurse Joy answered.

She began clacking some keys on the keyboard.
A read out appeared on the computer screen, a few seconds later.

“Mew?!” they both cried, at the same time.

“Where on Earth can we find that?!” Prof. Oak exclaimed.

“I really don’t know what we’re going to do about the girl,” Nurse Joy said, sadly, “She may die without a transfusion.”

“What about the Pokemon with her?” Prof. Oak asked, suddenly, remembering Mewtwo.

“I don’t think he matches that blood type,” Nurse Joy replied, “But we can see.”

“It may be a bit more difficult in getting his blood than hers,” she added, “Since he is Psychic, I’m not entirely sure what he’ll do.”

“We’ll just have to tell it outright, I guess,” he answered.
**************************

Back in the room, Mewtwo was waiting a bit impatiently for the nurse, and the uncle, to return.
They came back a few minutes later. He was sensing their disturbance, and hesitation. What was wrong?

“I think there’s something we need to tell you,” Nurse Joy began, “I need to get a sample of your blood, in order to further help your friend.”

Mewtwo stared at her.
Why did she need his blood to help Ki? She was human, not Pokemon.
However, he was not prepared, for what the nurse told him next.

“You see, she has a mixture of both human and Pokemon blood,” she continued, “And we need yours to see if you match her type that she needs.”

Whoa!
Time out! What did she just say?!
Mewtwo could not believe what he just heard, or thought he heard. Did that nurse just tell him, that Ki was half Pokemon?
Now he understood why she did not act as any natural human would. It also explained part of the reason he’d been attracted to her, from the very beginning.
She was not far from being exactly like himself.

In a way, Mewtwo liked this new development. Meaning that they were destined to be together, their love was meant to be.
Yes, he was rather liking this.

You may do so, Mewtwo told her.

He had to try to hide his joyful smile.
Nurse Joy took a clean syringe out of her apron pocket. She walked towards Mewtwo, still feeling nervous under his gaze. Approaching him, she proceeded to carefully inject the needle, in his arm.
It hurt him for one second, and was painless afterwards. Just as the nurse had described it. Nurse Joy removed the needle, now filled with his own blood.

“I’ll come back as soon as I analyze this,” she said.

As before, both she, and the uncle left the room.
**************************

In the medical lab, Nurse Joy gazed at Mewtwo’s blood through a microscope, first. Scanning it immediately after.

“Will you look at this?!” she exclaimed, after reading the results.

Prof. Oak peered at the computer screen, as well.

“Amazing,” he answered, fascinated.

Both Mewtwo’s and Ki’s blood were perfect matches, in both types.

“That would mean, the Pokemon is half human, too,” Nurse Joy said.

“I believe we can now proceed with the transfusion,” she added.
**************************

Mewtwo was growing anxious. What was taking so long?
He finally heard them coming back. They entered into the room, the nurse smiling.

“You two are perfect matches,” she said, “Which means you will be helping her, in the biggest way possible.”

Mewtwo was speechless. They were alike.
He’d been wrong in thinking he couldn’t help her. His blood was the key to her survival. This was one decision he would have no trouble in making. He’d do whatever was necessary, to keep her alive.

When can we begin? he asked the nurse.

“We can do it now,” she answered, “I’ll need to take a pint of your blood, first.”

“It’ll be kind of painful,” she warned.

Then, he would have to bear it.
No pain was too great, if it would save Ki.

Do it, Mewtwo replied.

Nurse Joy nodded her head, and the procedure soon got underway.
**************************

When I awoke, who knows after how long, I was lying in a bed. Similar to that of a hospital one.
I sat up quickly, wishing I hadn’t afterwards.

I began to feel sick, my head feeling woozy. I laid back down on the bed, my head against the pillow.
After a few minutes, I began feeling better.

“I see that you are awake now,” I heard a voice say.

A nurse came in the room.
I recognized her as being Nurse Joy. As to which one, I wasn’t entirely sure.

Where am I? I asked her.

She looked at me in surprise for a minute.
Oh, right, telepathy.

“You’re at the Pokemon Centre clinic, in recovery,” Nurse Joy answered, finally.

Recovery? From what?!

What am I doing here? I asked, a bit agitated.

“You’ve had a blood transfusion, a little while ago,” she replied.

Where did you get the blood, to match my type? I asked, curiously.

She started smiling.

“From the Pokemon,” Nurse Joy said.

Mewtwo?! I cried, in disbelief.

How?!
I was not a Pokemon, so how did our blood types match?

“Is that his name?” Nurse Joy asked me, suddenly.

Yes, I replied, Mewtwo is his name. Just tell me, though, how in the world did his blood type match mine?

Her face turned serious, as she looked at me.

“I don’t know if I should tell you,” she began, “With you being in your condition, as it may come as a shock to you.”

She took a deep breath.

“The DNA in your blood,” she continued, “Shows you are half Pokemon, and Mewtwo’s blood DNA reveals he is half human.”

I just laid there, staring at her.
Was she joking? Looking at her face, though, I knew it was true.
He and I, we, we were alike. Fate had brought us together, blossoming our love for each other.
I was rather intrigued with this. It meant our love was never wrong, to begin with.
That explained our instant, natural, attraction to one another.

I want to see him, I told Nurse Joy, suddenly.

She shook her head.

“He’s fine, you need to be concerned about getting well,” she answered.

I want him here with me, I replied, starting to grow angry.

“I’m sorry,” she said, “But I can’t allow that.”

You will allow it, and you will get him, as well, I answered, now furious.

“No,” she replied, firmly.

Mustering what power I had, my eyes focused on Nurse Joy. Beginning to lift her, with Telekinesis.
She gave a frightened yelp.

“Ok, I’ll get him,” she surrendered, quickly.

I set her down on the ground again, gently. She quickly began backing out the door, and walked down the hall.
Exhausted from the energy drain, I laid back farther in the pillows. I started waiting patiently for their return.
**************************

Nurse Joy’s heart was still racing from her earlier encounter.
She had never seen a human, even if she was half Pokemon, use psychic powers before. She also never heard anyone be so anxious to see their Pokemon.
The way the girl talked, it was like their relationship was more than Trainer/Pokemon.

She knew where Mewtwo, as she called him, was. He’d been very insistent to stay, until the girl woke up.
Nurse Joy found him still sitting in the chair. Where she left him, some two odd hours before.
He looked up, when she came in the waiting room.

“She’s awake, and she wants to see you,” she told him.

The words were barely out of her mouth, when he started taking off.
For being as large as he was, Nurse Joy never imagined he could move so fast.
**************************

I didn’t have long to wait, before Mewtwo nearly came rushing in.
He was slightly winded, but he was grinning at me, as he came closer to the bed. Stopping near the head of it. I gave him a small grin, as well.
He began stroking my hair.

Feeling better, my love? he asked me, softly.

Much better, now that you’re here, I answered, quietly.

He sat down on the bed, near the edge. He bent down to me, his face even with mine.
He gave me a soft kiss on my lips. It didn’t take long before we began kissing with immense passion.
We stopped a few minutes later.

He lifted up my shirt with his hand, revealing my naked breasts. He gently began caressing them, and I sighed softly with delight.
He bent his head down, delicately kissing the tops. Then, afterwards, he gently pulled the shirt back down over them.
He began kissing me again on my lips.

We were having to satisfy ourselves through this way.
Until, we could get the chance to have sex again.

“I really think that, ....... whoa!” we heard a voice begin speaking.

We broke off, seeing that Nurse Joy had come in the room.

“Holy shit,” she said, softly.
**************************

Nurse Joy stared at the girl, and the Pokemon.
She had accidentally come in, at the wrong time. She was going to tell them that visiting hours were over. When she beheld the most astonishing sight of her life, they were kissing.

It, then, hit her. They were lovers.
This explained why he protected her, at first. Then, literally jumping at the chance in helping her.
Of course, most loyal Pokemon protected, and aided, their trainers. In this case, however, the girl was not a trainer.
The Pokemon did not belong to her, in that sense.

This was why the Pokemon...., Mewtwo was his name.
She’d have to stop calling him “the Pokemon,” and remember that he did have a name. This was why he wanted to stay, when he did. Also, why the girl had been so insistent, to having him here with her.

Nurse Joy found that rather sweet, that they loved each other in this sense.
It just surprised her to see a Pokemon, and a human engaging in actions of love, as two humans would.

“I didn’t mean to intrude,” Nurse Joy apologized to them, “I’ll leave now.”

She left them.
Closing the door behind her, as she went out.
**************************

Mewtwo and I stared at the closed door, and then, at each other.
That had been rather odd.

I think I should leave now, he said, reluctantly.

Please, stay, I pleaded him.

In a heartbeat, my love, he answered, softly, But I really should. We are not alone here, and I want to have you all to myself. No one else, just me and you.

I smiled at him.
He gently caressed my cheek.

I will stay the night, before leaving in the morning. To find a place to build our palace, he explained, quietly, The night will be ours, to do whatever we wish.

I gave him a small grin.

Tonight, I replied, simply.

Yes, tonight, he said, smiling.

He lovingly nuzzled my cheek, moving his face over. Kissing me softly on the lips. He reluctantly broke the kiss, then, and I sadly watched him leaving me.

Not long after he left, Nurse Joy came back in.

“I’m sorry about earlier,” she said, “I didn’t mean to barge in on you.”

I smiled, dismissing her apology.

It is forgotten, I told her.

“You, and him,” she began, hesitantly, “Are in love, am I correct in saying so?”

There really was no point in hiding it anymore.

Yes, I answered.

She just nodded her head.

“I want to check your pulse, and blood pressure,” she told me.

She came over to me, picking up my wrist.
She placed two fingers on it, and pressed gently. Looking at the watch on her wrist, she began counting seconds under her breath. When she was done, she placed my wrist back on the bed.
She, then, proceeded to check my blood pressure. I hated the way the thing, she wrapped around my arm, was squeezing me.
It finally deflated, and Nurse Joy took it off.

“Well,” she said, smiling, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were a different person. You are in good health now.”

I smiled.
It was very good news, and would even be excellent news, to Mewtwo. When I tell him, or at least try to show him.

May I get up? I asked her.

She thought about it for a minute.

“I don’t see why not,” she finally answered, “But just try to take it easy, at first.”

I nodded my head.
I sat up, slowly this time, only feeling a little dizziness. It passed before long, and I began to stand up on my feet. I was a little unbalanced at first, taking a few wobbly steps.
Gradually, I gained more balance, and my walking went smoothly. I walked out the door, of the recovery room, and started walking down the hall.
My feet were still bare, and I shivered a little, from the cold floor.

The hall led me to a waiting room. I looked around, seeing no one here at the present time.
I sighed disappointedly. I was kind of hoping that he hadn’t left the building, for good, but it was obvious that he had.
Before I began turning around, to head back, I was gently lifted up off the ground from behind. It was Mewtwo, holding me in his arms.

I thought you had gone, I told him, softly.

I didn’t, and I couldn’t, not without you, he answered, quietly.

I smiled at him, nestling my head in the fur of his chest.

I’m glad you are strong again, and up walking, he told me, softly.

I’m happy also, I replied, quietly, Nurse Joy says I’m good as new now.

He began smiling, then kissing me softly on my lips.
We didn’t linger for very long, though. Hearing the front door of the Centre open, we looked to see Maxi coming in.

“Hi guys,” she greeted us, “I see that everything is all right now.”

Yes, I answered, I’m very much well again.

“That’s great,” Maxi replied, “If you want, you can come back with me, to my uncle’s.”

Mewtwo and I looked at each other, him nodding his head in agreement.

Yes, I told Maxi, We’ll come with you.

“Ok, let’s go, then,” she said.

She headed out the door, with us following her.
The Pokemon Centre was not far from her uncle’s. The sun was just beginning to set, when we started out.
As it sank lower, the sky began turning different shades of colors. Peach, light orange, pink, and light blue, from what was left of the daytime sky.
The entire western sky was set ablaze, glowing like a lit fire.

Mewtwo, still carrying me, stopped walking. He watched with awe, and fascination, as the colors began deepening.
The light blue, of the sky, turned indigo blue. The pink deepened to a magenta.
The orange, and peach, disappearing all together.

Beautiful, isn’t it? I whispered, softly, so as not to ruin the spell.

Truly magnificent, he replied, in a hushed whisper.

Even more so over the ocean, I said, quietly.

The ocean, he repeated, carefully, as if thinking.

I had given him some form of an idea, and he seemed to be considering it through.

What’s on your mind, love? I asked him, softly.

You’ve given me a truly remarkable idea, of where to build our palace, he answered, smiling.

May I ask where? I said, quietly.

No, he answered, shaking his head.

That will be my little surprise, he added, secretively.

He nuzzled between my breasts, and I giggled.
He started walking again, and we arrived at Maxi’s uncle’s place at dusk.
**************************

Ki had given him a wonderful clue, as to where to build the palace.
Mewtwo distinctively remembered the island of his birth place. It was secluded, being in the middle of the ocean.
Although, he had no fond memories of that place, he felt drawn to it somehow.

He had subconsciously thought about returning to the island.
Her comment, about the extraordinary sunset, a little while ago, drew it out. He consciously began thinking about it, giving the idea deep consideration.

He’d never seen an actual sunset, until today, and the effect was truly astonishing. He didn’t think it could get any better than it was, but Ki’s input on it, being even more spectacular over the ocean.
Well...., that left him a bit curious. Could it have been?
He’d have to find out for himself, a little later.
**************************

When we got to our room, Mewtwo set me down on my feet, and then, comically collapsing in a chair.

You’re heavy, he joked me.

I started giggling.

No, I’m not, I replied, playfully.

He started grinning.

Yes, you are, he answered, also playing.

Nah uh, I said, quietly, climbing into his lap.

Mmm hmm, he replied, softly, bending his head down to mine.

He began kissing me passionately on the lips.
After a couple of minutes, we stopped, delicately slipping me off his lap. He got up from the chair, and stood in front of me. His hands went to my shorts, and began unfastening them. They slipped down to my ankles, casting them aside with my foot.
He gently pulled up my shirt, and over my head. My long hair spilled out, falling back down to my waist.
He dropped the shirt on the floor, with absolute enchantment.

God, you’re beautiful, he whispered, softly.

I smiled.
He picked me up, laying me in the bed. He got in with me, immediately after.
He gently pulled me closer to him. Beginning to gingerly press his body, against mine. I felt the needle prick, about a few seconds later. I moaned softly with pleasure.
I don’t know for sure how long we had sex, but time held no meaning for us. All that was important to us, was never ending it. If we possibly could help it.

After a while, we stopped, just lying close against each other.
My head was nestling in his fur, and my right hand laid upon his chest. His head was delicately resting on mine.
His right arm was wrapped over me, his hand softly caressing my private.

I love you, he whispered to me, softly.

I love you, I murmured, quietly.

From the moment I first beheld you, he continued, softly, I fell in love with you, and it frightened me. I did not know you, nor have I ever met you, but I felt as if I did.

He paused a minute.

From the very beginning of my life, he began, again, I was also afraid, because you were human, and I being a Pokemon, that it would never work between us. I see that differently now, as it has worked, but I did not know that then. When you began asking me questions, I fell even deeper in love with you, from the sound of your voice.

He stopped again, before continuing.

When you asked me the question if there was anything I liked about that wretched place, I wanted to say, “You,” he said, I had even thought of getting rid of you, when I realized our differences in species. I’m very grateful I did no such thing. I did not mean for the accident of tripping you to happen, I was just so confused. With being in love, and feeling I’ve known you forever.
Before the fateful night we were brought together, you were always on my mind. I longed for you ‘til it hurt. I loved you so much, but I didn’t think you would love me as much, or at all. It greatly affected my spirits in not knowing, and I even considered killing myself in that match, to end the pain. You saved me from making that drastic mistake. Making me realize, if you did not care so much about me, you would not have risked your powers for me. I knew, then, that you did love me at least. Though, I guess I wanted proof, as well.

He started smiling at me.

I got the surprise of my life, he began, When I woke up in the middle of that night, to find you. In my room, asleep on the window seat. At first, I didn’t know if you were real, or an illusion. It wasn’t long before I realized you were real, and I can’t quite describe the joy I was feeling. I will never trade that night for anything, for as long as I remain alive.

I love you more than life itself, my angel. I shall never leave you. I’ll forever stay by your side, and I’ll forever cherish you, my angel love, he finished, softly.

He began kissing me with extreme passion.
Pressing his body gently against mine, and for the second time that night, we had sex.
**************************

He didn’t know exactly when they fell asleep, but he wouldn’t want to have known anyway.
Mewtwo was dreading the coming of morning because, then, he would have to leave her. He didn’t want to, but he had to. His guess was that he’d be gone at least a week.
It would be absolute torture being away from her for so long.

Morning did come, however, and he was torn between deciding to wake her, or let her sleep.
He finally decided to let her sleep. It would be less painful, for him, that way.
Being extremely careful, he quietly slipped out of bed. Looking back at her, he realized he was going to miss her something fierce.
He carefully pulled the bed covers up around her, so she wouldn’t get cold.

Gently brushing back a lock of her hair, he gave her a soft, delicate, kiss on her lips. He lingered for a minute, then gently broke off.

I’ll return soon, my love, he whispered, softly, to her.

She quietly sighed in her sleep.
Smiling sadly, he turned to leave, his back to the bed.

You’re not going to leave, without saying good-bye, are you? a sweet voice teased him, gently.

Mewtwo turned back around in surprise.
Ki was awake, her emerald eyes twinkling playfully at him. He smiled at her.

You were asleep, my love, and I did not want to wake you, he replied, softly.

I wouldn’t have minded, she said, quietly, smiling.

He walked over to the bed, sitting down close to her.
The bedcovers rustled a bit, as she sat up. Moving over, to sit next to him.
He put his arm around her, gently pulling her as physically close to him as possible. While sitting next to each other, that is.
She rested her head delicately against his shoulder.

I’ll miss you, she told him, softly.

And I, you, he replied, quietly, giving her a gentle kiss on her lips.

The kiss became passionate, and before long he was laying her back, against the bed. He gently began pressing his body against hers, and not too much later, they were having sex.
**************************

I was moaning softly with absolute pleasure, and ecstasy. This was the way to say good-bye.
Oh, god! I wish this wouldn’t end, and I wish he didn’t have to leave.
I was going to miss him so much, but, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Only temporary, though, as he was coming back within a week.
By then, we might have our own place, just the two of us.

What he had told me, last night, gave me a clear understanding of why our first meeting had been so rough. I didn’t realize he had reacted to me, in the way I reacted to him.
He thought I was beautiful, and had told me so. After he’d taken off my clothes last night. I was happy he thought so, as I wasn’t exactly sure.

No one, at least not males, had ever told me I was beautiful. Pretty, maybe, attractive, but never beautiful.
I was really quite thrilled, when Mewtwo deemed me as being such.

We finally had to stop, though, and were now facing the actual departure.

Please come back to me soon, my love, I told him, softly.

I shall, my angel, he answered, quietly.

He stroked my cheek, kissing me lightly on the lips.
He sat up on the bed, and got up, standing near it. He pulled the covers up around me, and then, gently kissed the top of my forehead.

Go back to sleep, my love, and I will return to you when I possibly can, he whispered to me, softly.

Smiling, I closed my eyes, feeling somewhat tired.
I felt his hand gently stroke my hair.

Until then, my love, pleasant dreams, was the last thing I heard him say.
**************************

She was asleep now, and he didn’t want to take the chance in waking her again. If he did, he wouldn’t be leaving her anytime soon, because he didn’t want to.
Quietly, Mewtwo left the room. Giving his sleeping angel one final, loving, glance.
Before closing the door softly behind him.

He teleported outside. Breathing in deeply the crisp, fall, morning air.
There was something enticing about this time of the seasons. The air seemed cleaner, purer.
The leaves, of most trees, were brightly colored. In shades of orange, red, and yellow. Which reminded Mewtwo of the striking resemblance to fire.

He looked in the direction, suddenly, of his destination. New Island.
He was not looking forward to revisiting it, but he had little choice in the matter.

He needed a place, where it was secluded from everything. Except, for what was important to him.
Ki was what was important to him, and the palace he would build would be just for the two of them.

Might as well get it over with, Mewtwo told himself, in reference to revisiting the island.

One of his new powers, learned while being trained in that armor, was flying.
He found the experience quite enjoyable. As he could see distances he never could, while just on the ground.
Concentrating, hard, Mewtwo soon found himself floating in the air. In a streak of ice blue light, he shot off, into the direction of New Island.

Before long, he began flying out over the ocean. The scent of salt, sea, air filled his nostrils.
He accidentally startled a seagull, and began laughing, as it gave a surprised cry.

He was rapidly approaching New Island, and he suddenly gave a shiver. Although, the wind was ruffling through his fur, it was not from being cold.
He hated this place. It held no warmth or love, just coldness.

The island was exactly how he left it, in shambles.
The fire had long burned itself out, and all that was left was a pile of charred rubble. Mewtwo landed on the island, with a lightness of that of a ballerina.
He surveyed the land. Kicking a few pieces of debris out of his way, as he walked the perimeter.

Finding the island large enough, to suit his tastes, Mewtwo began making a rough sketch of the palace in his head.
Making actual blue prints were a waste of time to him. He knew what he wanted, and how to build it. He had it pictured to the minutest detail.
Yes, this place would suit it fine. Now, his only problem was finding the materials.
He could easily do the rest.

A construction site!
He passed over one, on his way out to sea. He’d have to look into it, during the night hours. He did not want to be seen, nor did he want to chance of running into any humans. In the meantime, he could clean off this wreckage of sludge. He found a few interesting tidbits, as he set about his cleaning.
A log book, along with some files.
A tape recording, which he did not play.
Lastly, the drawing of the ancient Mew. Which he would’ve gladly crushed, in his bare hands.

This was why he was living in this nightmare of a world. Ki was his only pleasant dream that he had in this world.
She did not think of him as being inferior to herself, but as an equal. Her love for him was the only love he had ever known.
Everyone else hated, feared, and used him, as a toy.

There was one other human, who treated him no differently from herself, Maxi. He admired her bravery, and betrayal to Team Rocket. She chose to help him, and Ki, escape.
Mewtwo trusted her, knowing that his angel was in capable hands. Maxi had the skills, and power, to defend.
If it became necessary.

However, he did not crush the drawing, but merely set it aside, with the other stuff. He finished a couple of hours before sunset.
There wasn’t hardly anything that was solid, only pieces. Although, it had been time consuming, as there had been literally tons of it.
He’d have to take the garbage out with him tonight, when he would go back to the mainland. He’d dump it off first, and then, return to the construction site.

A little later, the sun began to set, and Mewtwo started watching. He was curious to see how much better it would be, compared to last night’s.
The sky began turning a deep crimson. With orange, and gold, mixed in.
The sun turned into a ball of deep red, and orange. As it slowly began sinking, the sky’s brilliant day time blue changed, into a cornflower blue.
Then, the sun sank, into the ocean!

So it seemed. Because he was intelligent enough to know, it did no such thing. Only appeared to have done so.
Still, it was rather astonishing.

With the sun gone, there was only a pale, golden haze in the western horizon.
It, then, began deepening to a pale lavender. As night was now approaching.

Mewtwo blinked his eyes, the spell now broken.
He was at a loss for words. Only, that it had been truly majestic.
Ki was right. It had been even more magnificent, than the previous.
He wished she had been here, with him, to see it. He missed her.

Now, though, was the time to return to the mainland. Dumping off the trash, and checking out the construction site.
Despite the amount of debris it started out as looking, there really wasn’t much. Using Telekinesis, he lifted the pile of trash, into the air.
Then, he, himself, floated in the air. Taking off in a trail of ice blue light, the debris following him.
If he managed to scare anyone, who happened to be still out, with seeing a pile of flying trash, well....... It would be one less human in the world.

Shaking his head, in amusement, Mewtwo was soon flying over the mainland. Not long after, he spotted what humans called as being a landfill.
Well, whatever it was, it suited his needs. As there was other trash in it.
He flew down towards it. Setting down the trash, as quietly as possible.

With that task done, he started off, in the direction of the construction site.
In a few minutes, he came in view of it. He glided down to it, landing on the outskirts. Surveying the area, he found it was deserted, for the night. Making it safe for him to venture in.
Gazing around, he saw a structure was beginning to take shape. Whatever it was supposed to be, it was lacking tastefulness, in architecture.

A large stack of steel beams laid not far from it.
This was what he would need. It was strong, and could be easily shaped, given the right amount of heat. They would be adequate, in fulfilling his purpose for them. He could simply just take them. No one would miss them, and if they did, why should he care?

Out of the corner of his eye, he spied several bags of cement. Not to mention, stones, and cement building blocks.
This was too good to be true. Those fools left him a treasure trove of supplies.
Everything he would need was here, including paint. Though, he’d have to experiment with the colors a bit.

Now, to take care of the business at hand.
Working quickly, he transported what he needed, to start with.
Back on New Island, Mewtwo began creating the project of a lifetime.
**************************

When I woke up, a couple of hours later, Mewtwo had already gone.
I began missing him, almost immediately. Without him here, I felt as though I had a large gap within me.
With a long sigh, I slipped out of bed. Starting to put on some clothes, dug from out of my duffel bag.
Maxi had taken the time to put my clothes in neatly, including the silk dress.

Without shoes, I didn’t really need socks.
There was a knock on the door, just then, and opened to reveal Maxi.

“Good morning,” she greeted me, cheerfully.

Hi, I replied, glumly, not trying to hide my listlessness.

“You miss him, don’t you?” she answered, quietly.

I nodded my head sadly.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon,” she said, comfortingly.

I gave a small smile.

“Breakfast is waiting in the kitchen,” Maxi told me, “You want anything?”

I didn’t really, but I needed to eat, in order to stay well.

Yeah, I suppose, I answered.

“Good, then, follow me,” she said, ducking back out the door.

I walked out, closing the door behind me.
I followed Maxi to a small kitchenette. It was much too small to do anything in. Except, maybe, cook.

“Uncle Samuel doesn’t hardly ever fix his own meals,” she explained, “That would best describe the tiny kitchen.”

“I made toast, and sausage, if you would like to eat some of it,” she added.

All right, I replied.

I selected a piece of toast off a plate, on a small table.
I nibbled on it, actually finishing the whole piece. I have to admit, eating it gave me a bit of an energy boost.
I drank a glass of juice, afterwards. Not boxed, thank goodness.

“You want to see the Pokemon Uncle Samuel has, out back?” Maxi asked me, when I had finished.

There were Pokemon in the back yard?
I began wondering just how many there were.

Ok, sure, I said.

She led me outside.
There were acres of land that stretched out who knows how far back. There were literally dozens of each known element of Pokemon. A large pond held many water types, and some just looking for a way to cool off. A large, fenced, corral held many Tauros. Some were grazing off the grass. Others were engaged in roughhousing.

I’ve never seen so many at once, I remarked, in awe.

“I know what you mean,” Maxi replied, “I still can’t believe there are so many.”

I gazed around, looking in wonderment.
I suddenly noticed one Pokemon that was separated from the rest. It was an Eevee, huddling in a corner of the corral fencing. It looked lost, and afraid.

What’s wrong with that Eevee? I asked Maxi, concerned.

I gestured to it, and she began frowning with concern, as well.

“That Eevee is a recent transport, from one of the trainers,” she explained, “It’s very shy. It won’t interact with the other Pokemon.”

Poor little guy, I said, quietly.

Eevee was feeling lonely; it missed its trainer.
I knew how that felt, for I was missing Mewtwo.

May I speak to it? I inquired.

She looked at me a bit strangely at first, but then, started nodding her head.

“Of course you may,” she answered.

I began walking cautiously over to Eevee.
I didn’t want to scare it. I quietly approached Eevee, who was now backing slowly away from me.

Easy, I won’t hurt you, I told it in a quiet, soothing, voice.

Eevee stopped, and looked up at me.

“Vee?” it questioned.

No, I won’t, I answered, softly.

It took a few timid steps towards me.
I sat down on the grass, to be at Eevee’s level. I looked into Eevee’s, still frightened, warm, brown eyes.

It’s all right, I said, quietly.

Eevee’s eyes lost their frightened look, brightening happily.

“Eevee!” it cried, leaping into my arms.

It began licking my cheek.

Hey, that tickles! I said, giggling.

Eevee stopped, and I began stroking its head.

“Ee, vee,” it said, expressing content.

Why are you not playing with the others? I asked Eevee, softly.

“Eevee,” it replied, sadly.

Eevee missed its trainer, like I had figured.

I know, I answered, sympathetically, I miss someone, too.

I gazed out at the far horizon, absent-mindedly still stroking Eevee’s head.
Not even half a day had passed, and I was still feeling as though I had been torn in half. I didn’t really feel like I would last a whole week without him.

“Vee,” Eevee said, softly, nuzzling under my chin.

It was sensing my sadness, and was trying to comfort me.
I started smiling.

Thank you, I told it, quietly.

“Vee, ee?” Eevee inquired, curiously.

Someone very special to me, I answered.

Will you try to play with the others? I asked Eevee, trying to change the subject.

I didn’t really want to dwell on the subject of Mewtwo.
I was really close to beginning to cry.

“Vee,” Eevee replied, dejectedly.

It was still not quite ready, to socialize with the other Pokemon.

Will you at least try, for me? I asked, quietly.

Eevee’s eyes shined up at mine.

“Ee, vee,” it finally agreed.

I set Eevee down on the ground.
It began walking away, but then, stopped. Looking back, hesitantly, at me.

You can do it, go on, I encouraged it.

Poliwag was closest to Eevee, so it went there.
I watched, as the two became instant friends. Smiling, I watched as they scampered off, to play.
I stood up off the ground, beginning to walk back to Maxi. She had an expression of amazement on her face.

“What did you do out there?” she asked, when I approached her.

Only talking, I replied.

She began shaking her head in bewilderment.

“You must have done something besides talking to it, that was incredible,” she praised.

I gave her an embarrassed grin.

Thanks, I said, But, really, all I did was talk to Eevee.

“Whatever you did, it worked,” she replied, “Uncle Samuel will be relieved, I know. He’d been kind of worried about it, too.”

I was beginning to feel somewhat listless, all of a sudden.

May we go back inside? I asked Maxi, I’m kind of tired.

“Yes,” she answered, nearly immediately.

We went back in.
Beginning to walk down the hall, to the room. We didn’t talk, and I was grateful.
We reached the bedroom a couple of minutes later. I opened the door, and walked in. Maxi didn’t come in, but stayed in the hall.

“If you need anything, all you have to do is call me,” she told me, quietly.

I will, I answered.

She nodded her head, then closing the door softly.
I’d left the bed unmade, and I got in. Pulling the covers up to my chin, huddling in its sufficient warmth.
I would’ve felt warmer, from the inside out, if he was only here. I missed him terribly. I felt tears beginning to stream down my cheeks. I flopped my head back on the pillow, burying my face in it.
I wish this week would fly by faster.
**************************

Everything was working out better than he had planned it. Nearly 95% of the palace was finished; and it had only taken five days.
Mewtwo was very proud of his work. He never guessed he was creative, in such a vicinity.
It was built in appearance of being majestic, but also in luxury.

His guess was as good as anybody’s, as to why he was planning to add a Pokemon stadium. Which was the last 5% of the palace.
He had no need for such a place. Yet, the plans for one were stored away, in his mind. For future consideration.

The palace was fully furnished, thanks to some other foolish humans.
The most ingenious of his work, in his opinion of course, was a water purification system. Yes, he decided to be friendly to the environment. Only because it directly affected him, as well.

The system worked like this.
Water was taken directly from the ocean, by an underground pump. The water traveled through pipes, another permanent loan from more human fools, into the purifier. Where the ocean’s salt water was cleaned, making it safe to drink. From there, any water used, for sanitary purposes, was recleaned. Plus, resalted, being dumped into underground tunnels. Beneath the palace, the water traveled through the tunnels, to outside. Where the falling water transformed into magnificent waterfalls, surrounding the island.

The now recleaned, resalted, water reentered the ocean.
The cycle was never ending.
Inside the main hall of the palace, he had built a fountain, and two small pools. The pools were filled with the purified water.
The fountain was built so that a large waterfall poured water into its base, also purified.

Another great accomplishment, was a power generator. It supplied electricity through the entire palace, by means of windmills.
He had a windmill built on each tower. The power keeping them constantly rotating, to distribute the energy evenly.

Ki was absolutely going to love this place, he already knew she would.
He would go in the morning, because it was getting a little too late now. Back to the mainland, back to his angel love. He had missed her so. Bringing her back with him, to New Island. No one bothering them to do whatever they wished, when they wished. Just the two of them.
How Mewtwo wished morning would come sooner.
**************************

Somehow, I managed to survive the next five days, without Mewtwo.
It was hard, though. He was on my mind at least twelve hours a day, if not a full twenty-four.
Visiting Eevee, and Poliwag made things a little easier, but not much.

It was now the eve of the fifth day.
I had already showered, and dressed for bed. I’ve been going to bed pretty early these past few nights. Dreams were the only thing I had of him, for the time being.
Sometimes, the dreams didn’t always make me feel better. There were a few times, I would wake up, in the middle of the night, literally crying for him.

Climbing into bed, I laid down, with my head on the pillow.

How much longer must I endure this? I demanded, to the empty air.

This was literally tearing me apart.
I don’t know when I finally fell asleep, but I awoke early the next morning. Not wanting to stay in bed, I got up. By teleport, I went outside. It was still a little dark. Noticeable light, of the approaching dawn, just beginning to show.

I stood there in the chilled morning air, still wearing nothing but my gown.
I started shivering, but I didn’t go back inside. Something, for some reason, was keeping me out here.
As the sun began rising, a gentle breeze began blowing. It stirred my hair softly, lightly ruffling the hem of my gown.
I huddled my arms together, trying to keep warm. It worked, a little too well.
Enough to arouse suspicion.

You shouldn’t be out here, my love, it’s much too cold for you, a soft, male, voice told me.

I lifted up my head, in total surprise. Seeing Mewtwo, his deep amethyst eyes looking directly into mine.
He was smiling down at me.

Hello, my angel, he said, softly.

I began smiling in joy.
I started nestling my body in his warm fur.

I’ve missed you so much, I whispered to him, softly.

And I’ve missed you, he replied, quietly.

He wrapped his arms around my hips, pulling me gently closer against him.
He rested his hand on my private, beginning to fondle it softly. I moaned quietly with pleasure.
He began kissing me on the lips, passionately. We kissed a minute, and then, broke off.

It’s best if we go in now, he told me, You’ll catch your death out here, in such attire. A fate I will not allow to happen.

I readily agreed.
He picked me up in his arms, teleporting to the room. It was warmer, and I began feeling less cold. Setting me gently on my feet, Mewtwo proceeded to delicately slip off my gown. Picking me up, he gingerly placed me in bed.
After getting in himself, pulled me gently closer against his body. With the combined heat of his body, and fur, I was sufficiently warm.
Pressing his body gingerly against mine, began to have sex.
**************************

He hadn’t waited for the sun to come up, the next morning. He took off, towards the mainland, after he awoke.
It was still sufficiently dark, enough so that he slowed his rapid flight. Mewtwo didn’t want to arrive too awfully early.
Ki would still be asleep, at this time.

The wind lightly ruffled through his fur. It had a chilling bite to it, and he gave a slight shiver.
Each day was becoming more colder than the next. This was true, even though the sun had not yet risen.

As he came closer, to where Ki was, he noticed the eastern horizon was beginning to brighten. If he played his cards right, he would arrive just as the sun was rising.
Maybe, hopefully, she would be awake by that time. Like himself, she was an early dweller.
True to his speculations, there she was, below him. She was facing the east, to greet the morning.

He smiled.
He landed quietly, near her, beginning to watch for the sunrise himself. As it rose, he glanced over at Ki, from the corner of his eye. The sun’s golden hue gently touched her face, making it glow. The sun’s light creating a golden halo, on top of her head. Making her dark brown hair shine, like a lighthouse beacon.

Mewtwo fell in love with her all over again.
He began realizing how truly blessed he was to having her, as a companion. A lover, a life-long mate, or so he hoped, in the near future.
He noticed a light wind had started, after the sun came up. It softly stirred her hair, delicately ruffling the hem of her gown.
He would’ve admired her, from a distance, a little while longer, but she was shivering.

Good god!
She was freezing out here! Being dressed in such, it was a no wonder.
He swiftly, quietly, moved up behind her. Close enough, so she was partially buried in his fur.
She grew suspicious of the extra warmth, and looked up, at him, in complete surprise.

That is, after he scolded her lightly, in being out in this cold weather. She was not expecting him this soon, and his voice had astonished her.
She gave him a joyful smile, in happiness of his early return. She nestled deeper in his fur. Softly whispering of how much she missed him. He told her the same, about him missing her.

He began wrapping his arms around her hips.
Touching her private with his hand, began caressing it gently. She moaned softly with delight.
He began kissing her on her lips. Something he had missed as well.
Along with having sex with her, which what he was desiring.

He suggested to her that they return inside, where it was warmer.
Because she was nearly frozen, and he didn’t want her to fall ill. She immediately agreed. With her in his arms, he teleported inside, back in the room. Where she had spent the last several days in. As where he, too, spent the night before he left.

Inside, it was very warm, and she quickly began feeling less cold.
He set her down gently, on her feet. He began slipping her gown off her body. Finding the straps, that suspended it upon her shoulders, expandable.
He still never could get over her beauty. Each time he would remove her clothing, it truly astounded him.

Picking her back up, laid her gently in the bed. He climbed in with her, afterwards. She was beginning to warm up, but he gingerly pulled her close against him. His fur, and body heat, warming her much faster.
He began pressing his body carefully against hers, beginning to have sex.
**************************

A little while later, we laid close against each other.
My head gently laid on his chest. His head was softly resting on top of my head.
His hand was lovingly caressing my private.

I have a surprise for you, my love, he told me, quietly.

What is it? I asked, softly.

The palace is complete, and is ready for us to live in, he replied.

May I, today, see this wonderful palace of ours? I asked him, quietly.

I was a bit anxious to find out what he’d been up to, these past five days.
Also, I was really starting to tire of staying here. Maxi was great, and all, but I wanted to spend some time alone with Mewtwo. Just us two, to do whatever we pleased.

If you desire, we shall leave now, my angel, he answered.

You get dressed in something warm, he added, And I’ll see to it that our friend is properly thanked, for her generosity. I will not be long.

He brushed back a lock of my hair with his hand. Giving me a gentle kiss on my lips. He got up from the bed. Flashing me a grin, he teleported.

I started grinning with excitement.
I got up out of bed, and walked over to where my duffel bag was laying. Unzipping it, I pulled out a sweater, and a pair of tight jeans.
Maxi, and I had gone shopping, on a previous day. When I had been in one of my better moods.
We bought a lot of clothes, which she insisted to pay for.

The new wardrobe consisted mostly of winter clothing.
The outfit, I’ve just selected, was best for days such as this one.
The sweater was made of light wool. It fitted snugly on me, hugging closely against my breasts. The color of the sweater was a pale lavender.
The jeans were a dark ice blue. They hugged tightly against my waist, and hips.

I also acquired new shoes.
Hiking boots, of course. They were similar to the pair I lost.
Still no bra; what was the point anyway?

There was one item of clothing that still puzzled me, as to why I bought it. It was a long, formal, evening gown.
It was made from silk. With long sleeves, that ended in a triangle. The point ending, on top, just before the beginning of my fingers.

The top of the dress hugged my slim figure.
The skirt flared out, at the beginning of my hips. The hem of it stopping around my ankles.
The colors of the dress were the most unusual feature about it. The top was colored a light shade of lavender, while the bottom was colored a deep violet.
Most ironic, since it was a perfect match in the colors of Mewtwo. One of the real reasons in why I bought it.
It was the only reason, in fact. I had no use for such a dress, but I bought it anyway. Kind of on a sudden whim.

Now finished dressing, I waited patiently for his return.
**************************

He could barely contain his excitement.
He couldn’t wait to show her the palace. Mewtwo was immensely proud of his work on it.
Plus, her remark on that previous sunset he saw with her, gave him the palace’s ideal location.

He had wanted to leave immediately with her, when he first arrived. Nature, though, kind of took over him for a while.
Of course, he wouldn’t ever turn down the opportunity, to have sex with her. If he desired it, he would.
She was forever ready, when the impulse would strike him. She never resisted; she was always willing.

If he wasn’t careful, he might start taking this for granted.
Sex was a pleasure he liked having, but it was also a privilege. It wasn’t something that he could abuse. Otherwise, he might not like the consequences, if he did.
He’d have to remember to keep that in mind, for the future.

He found Maxi in a small, what was the word, kitchen?
She was fixing breakfast, and did not notice him standing there. He watched her a minute. She began putting small, round, links in a pan. Beginning to place the bottom of the pan on an open flame.
He watched curiously as the things, in the pan, started sizzling. Whatever it was that she had cooking, gave off an enticing aroma.
He realized, to his complete embarrassment, that he was hungry. She looked up, then, seeing him standing there.

“Hey, there,” she greeted him, smiling, “You’re back early.”

Mewtwo only nodded his head at her remark.
He was still feeling self-conscious of himself, for the abrupt announcement of his hunger.

“You’re welcome to have some breakfast,” she told him, “Just help yourself to it.”

She gestured to a plate on the table.
It held some bread, and meats.

Thank you, he replied, accepting her offer, immediately.

He may have been hungry, but he wasn’t completely devoid of manners.
He selected one of the breads. It was still warm. Taking a cautious bite, he began savoring its delectable taste. The bread was soft, and buttery. A flavor he was taking a liking to.

This is a delightful edible, he remarked to Maxi.

She smiled.

“Thank you, its called a biscuit,” she replied.

Mewtwo nodded his head in acknowledgment, and finished the rest of the biscuit. He debated with himself in having another, but decided to give the meat a try.
The meat was a different taste all together. It was juicy, and just a bit spicy for his liking. But nevertheless, it was certainly delicious.

What do you call this? he asked Maxi.

“A sausage,” she answered, beginning to speed up, “You’re going to have to drink something with it. Besides, you need something to drink, so you don’t get choked. Juice ok?”

Mewtwo glanced at her quizzically. What did she just say?
She had said it so fast, he wasn’t able to grasp her words. All he had heard was what she called the meat he was eating, and then, her words strung all together.

Repeat the question, please, he requested her.

“Would you like some juice to drink?” she replied, slower this time.

Yes, thank you, Mewtwo answered.

She walked to a small fridge, and opening its door, took out a carton.
She got a glass, and poured the carton’s orange liquid into it. She put the carton back in the fridge, and then, handed the glass to him.

He tasted the juice. It was sweet, and tangy, too much in fact.
He made a face, setting the glass on the table. This was one new taste he did not care for. Maxi was trying not to smile at his reaction.

“I guess you don’t like orange juice,” she remarked.

Is this what this terrible concoction is called? Mewtwo asked, a bit peeved.

“Yes,” she answered.

Mewtwo looked back, disgustedly, at the juice.

It needs improving, he said.

Maxi knew what he was getting at, for her to improve it, but she held her tongue. He was right, though, it did need improving.
However, there was nothing she could directly do to it, except buy a new brand.

“Yeah, I guess it does,” she agreed, quietly.

Mewtwo sensed her dejectedness, and his face softened.
His irritability now gone.

I am sorry if I was rash, he apologized, I am grateful for your generosity, both to me and Ki.

Maxi began to smile.

“Hey, what are friends for?” she answered, “It was nice having friends, for a change. Real friends.”

Mewtwo began pondering over her words.
He concluded that the friends she use to have, used her. They were never loyal, or true. They took her generous nature for granted. Thus, she had been deeply hurt.

Why did you keep those friends around? he asked her.

She was quiet for a minute, thinking through her answer.

“I don’t know,” she finally replied, “I guess I was just trying to fit in. Those friends were Team Rocket members. I befriended, or rather they befriended me, after I helped one out of trouble. Now, that I think about it, I wish that I hadn’t.”

She didn’t say anything more, and Mewtwo left it at that.
He could easily guess the rest.

It’s a mistake anyone could live to regret, he remarked, quietly, But don’t live in the past, live in the present. You have found that you have true friends, us. Use that advantage for yourself, to know that you can make others as well.

Maxi smiled at him.

“Yeah, I know that now,” she answered.

One question still puzzles me, he continued, Why did you help us? Knowing that you were putting yourself at risk.

“I wanted to,” she replied, “When I first met Ki, because I was the one chosen to greet her, I liked her. She was unique, different. I could feel it.”

I know what you mean, Mewtwo remarked, dreamily, smiling.

Maxi smiled.

“I had to leave her, in the room I showed her to,” she continued, “Because I had duties to tend to. I did come back a little later, though, and brought her something to eat. She hadn’t eaten, at least I don’t think, since lunch. She ate a little bit of an apple, but she was so distracted, so lost in thought, that she didn’t seem like she knew what she was eating. Much less, even knowing that she was. I asked her if there was something bothering her, and she didn’t seem to want to answer. She played with the apple a bit. I knew she wanted to tell me, but she was afraid I wouldn’t understand.”

She paused a minute.

“Finally, she worked up enough courage to tell me,” she began, again, “That’s when I heard about you. She started telling me about when you, and her met each other, earlier that day. I listened to her for a while. Always her voice would go dreamy, when you were mentioned. I knew, then, that she liked you. When she started going into the part about the accident, between the two of you, she stopped very suddenly. I guessed she was collecting her thoughts, but her face turned into the expression of horror.
Before I knew why, she started crying. I tried comforting her as best as I could, but I had no idea what in the hell was wrong. She was sobbing by that time, and it was hard for her to talk, but she finally told me what was wrong. She was very upset that she called you such a bad name, during the heat of the accident. When she finally calmed down enough, where she could talk, I asked her if she really liked you. She admitted she did, but I could tell she wasn’t telling me the truth. The truth that, she loved you. I think she was trying to deny, to herself, that she did. But I could tell, she really loved you.
So, in a way, I’m partly responsible for the mess you got into. I gave her some advice, and encouragement, that eventually everything would be all right between the two of you.”

She didn’t say anything more after that.
Mewtwo was carefully absorbing Maxi’s every word. He didn’t realize how much Ki had really cared about him, from the beginning. She went through the same experience as he did. Fear, denial, even hurt.

I never knew, he remarked, softly, a loud.

He looked into Maxi’s eyes.

You are not at fault for anything, he told her, quietly, If anything, you’ve given me a gift. One I could never replace, or trade, for anything more in the world.

Maxi gave him a soft smile.

Hey, are you guys congregating without me? a new voice teased them, playfully.

Mewtwo, and Maxi both turned around, in surprise.
**************************

I’d gotten a bit impatient, waiting for him, so I went out of the room.
Seeing if I could try to find either him or Maxi. Maybe both, if I was lucky.
Sure enough, I found them in the kitchenette, talking. I had come just in time to hear, the tail end of what Maxi had been talking about. She was talking about me. As I listened to her, I knew what she was telling Mewtwo, of the very first day we met. When she finished, I knew she was right, that I had loved him from the very beginning.

They were both silent for a while, Mewtwo thinking through the story.
Finally, he spoke, saying that he hadn’t known how I felt about him. In such a way, and so very immediate.
He looked directly in Maxi’s eyes, and told her that nothing had been her fault. Which was the truth, there was nothing for her to be at fault for.

What he began telling her, next, brought tears to my eyes. A few managing to slide down my cheeks.
He told her she had given him a gift, me. A gift he would never replace, or trade.
To keep myself from absolutely sobbing, I spoke to them.

Hey, are you guys congregating without me? I gently teased.

They both turned around in surprise, looking straight at me.
Mewtwo’s face was brighter than the morning sun had been, as he gazed at me. He started walking to me.
To my complete, and total, astonishment he gently picked me up from at my waist. Beginning to lightly swing me around.
He did it only once, but I was laughing, when he embraced me back gingerly against him. Nestling his face in my hair.

God, I love you, he whispered, softly.

I’d stop laughing a few moments earlier.
I nestled in his fur, closing my eyes. Feeling his hand gently stroking my hair.

I love you, I murmured, quietly.

I felt his lips touch mine, kissing me in a way I’ve never experienced before. I began moaning softly with pleasure.
I swear, it took every bit of our control not to start having sex right then, right there. It didn’t matter if we were in the kitchen, or not.
He did, however, slip his hand down into my jeans. Beginning to lovingly fondle my bare private.
I quietly moaned with absolute, and immense, ecstasy.

Eventually, our romantic interlock satisfied our need to have sex. Putting it off for some time later.
He slipped his hand out of my jeans, but still kept kissing me passionately. We kissed a few minutes longer, finally breaking off.

Would you like something to eat? he asked me, suddenly

I thought about it.

All right, I agreed.

The biscuit is good, he suggested.

Ok, I replied, smiling.

I’d advise you not to drink the juice, he warned, making a bitter face.

Maxi began bursting out laughing. Mewtwo giving a small chuckle himself.
I stared at them quizzically, my head cocked to one side.

I’m sorry, my love, Mewtwo told me, I did not like the juice, that’s why I said not to drink it.

Now understanding the reason behind their laughter, I, too, gave a small laugh.

Do not worry, love, I replied, I don’t much care for it, either.

He nuzzled my cheek lovingly, then handing me a biscuit.
I nibbled on it, with him watching. He was frowning at me.

What? I asked him, puzzled.

You eat so very little, my love, he answered, sounding concerned, You barely consume enough to keep alive.

I’ve eaten this way for a long time, I replied, I just have a small appetite.

It’s too small, he said, When I pick you up, it’s like I’m holding nothing but air.

I’m always afraid I may hurt you, he continued, You’re too fragile.

It’s nice that you care so much, I told him, But really, I’m fine.

He sighed.

I won’t argue with you, my angel, he replied, I just don’t want to lose you, that’s all.

He gently caressed my cheek, and I smiled at him.

You won’t, ever, I answered, softly.

He ran his fingers carefully through my hair.
I finished the biscuit, and drank some milk, not juice, afterwards.

Are you ready to leave, my angel? he asked me, when I finished.

“Where are you going?” Maxi asked, suddenly.

To a place I’ve built, for the two of us, Mewtwo answered her.

“Whoa,” she replied, in awe, “I hate to see you guys leave, though.”

We’ve enjoyed our visit here, but we really must, though, he said, I fear we may have overstayed our welcome.

“Nonsense,” Maxi replied, “You guys are always welcome to stay, for as long as you like.”

Mewtwo and I both smiled at her.

Thank you, he replied.

Go get your things, my love, and we’ll be home soon, he told me.

Home.
It had a nice ring to it. Of course, as long as he was with me, anywhere was home.
I teleported to the room, and grabbed my duffel bag. Remembering to stuff my gown inside it.
Draping the strap on my shoulder, I teleported back to the kitchen.

That was quick, Mewtwo remarked to me, surprising him by reappearing suddenly.

I’ll take that for you, he added, removing the duffel bag from my shoulder.

Rather than protesting, I said,
Thank you.

He put the strap of the bag on his shoulder.
He was getting ready to pick me up, too, when he suddenly stopped.

Do you know how to fly? he asked me, out of the blue.

I stared at him, blinking my eyes.
Fly? Is that what he asked?

I don’t think I have that ability, I answered, truthfully.

I had Psychic powers, and could do Psychic attacks, but fly?
I suppose I could, but I’ve never tried it.

It is a most exhilarating experience, he told me, I could teach you.

Now? I asked.

He shrugged.

Why not? he answered.

I started smiling.

If you say so, I said.

He grinned happily at me.
Looking back at Maxi, I found that she was trying to stifle a giggle. I grinned at her. We went outside, in back, where the Pokemon were.
He had never seen the Pokemon yard, until now. He took in everything, calmly, his eyes shifting from one end to the other.

Why so many? he finally questioned.

“Some trainers have some of the same Pokemon,” Maxi answered him, “That’s why there are more than the amount of each element.”

Why are they not with their trainers? Mewtwo asked.

“Trainers are only allowed to carry six Pokemon with them,” she replied, “The others they capture are sent here, at my uncle’s lab. He takes care of them, until the trainer, who originally owned the Pokemon, needs it.”

Mewtwo snorted in disgust.

If they do not need the Pokemon, for frequent use, why capture it? he countered.

“Different elements handle best against another Pokemon of another element,” Maxi answered, “For example, a trainer battles against a rock Pokemon. He/she brings out a water Pokemon. Rock are weak against Water. The trainer defeats the challenger. Though, the water Pokemon doesn’t travel with the trainer. It stays at a place like this, until it is needed.”

It is still not right, Mewtwo argued.

Uh oh. This was getting ugly.
I decided to change the subject, by speaking up.

Let us put this discussion aside for some other time, my love, I gently soothed him, I’m quite curious as to learn how to fly.

I gently touched his cheek, with my hand. His angry expression quickly melting, into a soft smile.
He put his hand over mine, still on his cheek. Bringing it down at his side, holding it gently.

I am sorry, my angel, he told me, softly, I did not mean for our discussion to upset you.

It is forgotten, I replied, quietly.

With his hand still over mine, he gingerly placed them against my private.
His hand slightly shifted farther along my hand. His fingers beginning to gently caress my private lovingly. I began moaning softly with pleasure.
He started kissing me passionately on my lips, in that new way. He encircled his other arm around my waist, pulling me closer against him.

I wasn’t paying close enough attention, when it happened. I could no longer feel the ground under my feet anymore.
Mewtwo gently broke off the kiss, beginning to smile at me. I started gazing around us. We were floating up in the air. Not too high, just a few feet, but I was still a bit frightened.

It’s all right, my angel, don’t be afraid, he told me, soothingly, I shall not let any harm come to you.

I started to relax a bit.
He did have a good hold around my waist, so I knew I wouldn’t fall.

Would you like to go higher now? he asked me, quietly.

I considered it through.
I’d eventually have to fly sometime, so why not now?

Yes, I would, I replied, softly.

He smiled.
He took us up a little higher this time, just below the treetops. Up here was different, than on the ground. The air seemed a bit cleaner, fresher. The view, even though we weren’t that incredibly high up, was fascinating.
Was this what I’d been missing? It was a whole other world up here. I felt like I was free, that I could do just about anything.
I wanted to see more.

May we go higher? I asked.

You like it? he replied, smiling.

I love it, I answered, grinning.

I knew you would, he said, nuzzling my cheek.

I’ll take you as I high as I usually go, he added.

He glowed slightly blue, this time. Having to tap into his power a little more.
He took me above the trees, and above any building’s height. Until, I could see sparkling blue water, in the distance. The beginnings of the sea.
We were so high up, I could not see the Pokemon, or Maxi. It did not matter; I never wanted to come down.
Everything was simply breathtaking. Even though the sea was so far away, it was still magnificent.

It’s beautiful, I whispered.

No more beautiful than you, he whispered back.

He began kissing me passionately on the lips.
After a few minutes, we broke off. With him, afterwards, gently stroking my hair.

Where is our home? I asked him, curiously, Is it possible to see it from here?

Look towards the sea, he answered, It is not possible to see it, at this far a distance, but it’s out there.

I looked at him in astonishment.

Really? I asked.

Really, he answered, grinning.

Did you choose to build it there? I asked.

No, you did, he replied, lightly touching the bridge of my nose with his finger.

I did? I asked, confused.

Yes, he answered, softly, The night before I left, we saw that sunset together. You commenting on how much more magnificent it would be over the ocean. You chose the location of our palace, without knowing. You know what, my love? You were absolutely correct. It is much more majestic.

I smiled at him, nestling my head in his fur.
He gave me a soft kiss on my lips.

Do you want to try flying, yourself, now? he asked me.

Ok, I agreed.

He took us back down, slowly, to the ground.
With barely a sound, his feet touched the earth, a few moments later.

“Wow, you guys,” Maxi greeted, “That was incredible.”

It’s not over just yet, Mewtwo answered her, Ki is going to try it, for herself.

“No lie?” Maxi asked me, astonished.

No lie, I answered, I’m going to do it now.

“I wish you good luck, then,” she told me.

Thanks, I replied.

You ready? Mewtwo asked.

Yes, I answered.

He nodded his head.

First, you’ll have to focus your powers, concentrate hard on them, he coached.

I focused hard on them, beginning to feel the energy crackling. I’ve never had to do this, not since I was trained in controlling them.
Closing my eyes, I began to concentrate. Feeling the energy starting to flow through me, and out.
I started thinking about hot air, and anything else that floated.

Ki, open your eyes. Look, I heard Mewtwo tell me, excitedly.

I opened them, gasping in surprise.
I was in the air, I was floating!

You did it, he praised me, happily.

I did, didn’t I? I replied, laughing.

He came up to me, embracing me in a gentle hug.
Nestling his face in my hair.

You are truly an angel now, my love, he told me, softly, My angel, my treasure.

I nestled my head in his fur, closing my eyes.
Beginning to feel his fingers gently run through my hair.

I think it’s time we should be leaving, he said, quietly, We want to make it by sunset.

All right, my love, I replied, softly, opening my eyes.

We floated back down to ground, Maxi waiting for us.

“You were great, Ki,” she told me.

Thank you, I answered, smiling.

Regretfully, we must say good-bye, Mewtwo told Maxi.

“I understand,” she replied.

We will visit, I promise, I told her.

I started picking up my duffel bag. Which Mewtwo had set down, earlier.
It was, then, he placed his hand gently on top of mine. Stopping me from picking it up.

No, he told me, shaking his head, That’s my responsibility to carry.

You don’t have to, I answered.

I do have to, he replied, You will do no such thing, in carrying this heavy bag. I won’t allow it.

I gave in. It would be a lost cause in protesting, not whenever he was this firm.
He removed his hand off mine, and I removed it from the duffel bag’s strap. He, then, picked it up. Slinging it on his shoulder.

I’m sorry I was a little rough with you, he apologized to me, softly. But I won’t have you carrying that bag. It’s much too heavy for you. I don’t want you getting hurt. You mean too much to me.

He softly caressed my cheek, and I began feeling tears in my eyes.

I am sorry, too, I said, beginning to cry.

There is no need for you to apologize, he told me, quietly, Please don’t cry, my angel love.

He pulled me gently to him, holding me close against his body.
He rested his head gingerly on mine.

Shh, my love, he hushed me, softly, It’s all right, everything is all right now.

I stopped crying, with only a few tears left.
That were already sliding down my cheeks. He gently brushed them away with his hand.

Are you all right now, my angel? he asked me, quietly.

I am, I replied, softly.

He began kissing me softly on the lips.
Reaching down with his hand to gently begin fondling my private. I gave a soft moan of pleasure. He stopped a few minutes later, with both.

Now, he said, smiling, We should go.

Nodding my head, in agreement, he turned me loose.

“Good-bye, Ki, Mewtwo,” Maxi told us.

Good-bye, my friend, he answered, Until we meet again.

‘Bye, Maxi, I told her, giving her a hug, I am grateful for your hospitality, and kindness. I am glad to have you as my friend, our friend.

“Thank you,” Maxi replied, smiling, “I’ll look forward to your visits.”

So will we, I said, releasing her.

I felt Mewtwo’s arm wrap around my waist.

Ready, my love? he asked me.

Always, I answered, softly.

He smiled, releasing his arm from around me.
Concentrating, though not as hard as before, I began to float in the air. It was getting easier to do.
He was soon floating beside me. He slipped his hand in mine.
In two brightly colored amethyst, and ice blue streaks, we shot off towards the sea. To the palace, our new home.
**************************

Maxi watched as they flew off, in the direction of the ocean. The two of them hand in hand.
She began to smile. She had never had friends quite like them.
Also, she had never known a more unlikely pair, of lovers. They were so much in love with each other.

Nothing wrong in saying it, until one should look a little closer.
One was human, and the other, was Pokemon. It might appall some, but it made no difference to her. Especially, since she knew the truth. The truth, that they were both half and half. Even if she didn’t know the truth, she still saw no problem.

They were absolutely made for each other. They were near mirror images, in personality, and behavior.
Maxi was happy she had become their friend. Ki had already accepted her friendship, in the beginning.
However, she had to win Mewtwo’s friendship, and trust.

It was no wonder he saw her as a threat, at first. A Team Rocket member had already nearly claimed the life of his one true love.
He trusted her, and accepted her friendship. After putting her life on the line for them. Of course, their disaster had been her blessing. She was just waiting for the perfect opportunity, to escape that horrid prison.

It wasn’t really a prison, but it was to her.
Maxi loved Pokemon. She didn’t want to steal or hurt them. She had wanted to be a Pokemon trainer, but her parents sent her there, instead. She hated her parents, they didn’t understand. Stealing Pokemon was not right. You never got far, if you didn’t earn the right to have one.

She loved her uncle, because he understood.
Being a Pokemon researcher, he, too, loved Pokemon. He was responsible in issuing a trainer’s first Pokemon.
He often talked about a kid named Ash Ketchum. He had overslept on his first day as a trainer. Thus, there had been no Pokemon left, for him to choose.

To Maxi, that seemed a bit irresponsible of him.
Fortunately, however, Uncle Samuel did have one Pokemon left. But he warned Ash, before giving it to him, that it was a bit roguish.

Pikachu, was the Pokemon Ash received.
Maxi had been pretty amazed, later, when she was told how the two were best of friends now. Despite from getting off to a rough start.

Aside from the point, she really couldn’t ask for better friends.
Smiling, at the now empty sky, she turned, and headed back inside.
**************************

Flying was one experience that both excited, and frightened me.
Not to mention, having to use a bit a more power than I was used to, tiring me out. Resulting in making me slightly nauseous.
Plus, the wind was bitterly cold.

Mewtwo was sensing my distress.
A look of alarm expressing on his face.

My love, why did you not inform me of your condition? he asked.

I did not want to ruin anything, I answered, quietly.

I started wavering a bit, my vision beginning to become blurred.
I thought I was going to fall, until suddenly I was carefully grabbed, from around my waist. In a secure, and snug, hold.

It’s all right now, I have you, my angel, he told me.

I was all too willing to give my powers a rest, so I stopped using them.
He brought me close to him, in a secure embrace. I nestled in his fur, rapidly becoming warmer.

I shouldn’t have let you drain your powers so, he said to me, guiltily, You’re still very new at flying. I should’ve known better.

It is my fault, as much as yours, I replied, softly, I was very excited at knowing I could fly, and I never thought about otherwise.

Also, I continued, I didn’t want to ruin our fun, by admitting I was tired.

Fun is of little or no importance to me, he answered, If it is an endangerment to you.

He began nuzzling my cheek lovingly, and I started to smile.

We’ll soon reach the palace, and this trip will be finished, he said, We won’t have to make it again for quite some time, and next time I’m carrying you.

He finished a bit firmly.
Too firmly, again, to protest.

All right, I complied, chuckling.

He smiled at me.
We traveled the rest of the journey in silence, but pleasant silence. It started becoming a bit warmer, as we began nearing the sea. The water absolutely sparkling, in the late October afternoon sun.
I gasped softly in awe, taking in everything.

I’ve never seen the ocean, until now, I remarked, quietly.

Mewtwo stared at me in bewilderment.

How did you know, then, about the sunset? he asked me.

Instinct, I answered, simply, Somehow, I just knew.

He began shaking his head in wonder.

You will never cease to amaze me, he told me, smiling.

I grinned at him.
We were flying over open sea, now. There were no seagulls, being no land for miles.

How far out is it? I asked him, curiously.

The only land, this far out, would be an island.

Not much farther, he answered.

True to his word, a tiny dot, smack in the middle, was beginning to appear in the distance.
As we got closer to it, it began growing larger. Mewtwo began making a descend, drawing us closer to the island. I could see it clearer, now, and on its rocky shore, there stood a majestic building.
The palace.

My eyes began widening in surprise, as I gazed upon it.
It was beautiful! I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It appeared to be of Gothic architecture.
In the center, was a large tower. It had windows that circled around the center of it. Closer to the top, it had two arches, one on each side. That branched out from it.

At the top of the tower, was a large windmill, with thick blades.
It was rotating slowly, as if powered by an electric generator. There were other, smaller, towers built around it. The two closest to the main tower were connected together, by supporting arches. Each one, of the additional towers, had windmills. The same size, and shape, as the center tower’s one.

The main structure of the palace was built in a wide circle, with two stories.
The front had a huge entrance, with two very large double doors. From the front entrance stretched a wide, and long, balcony with steel railings. In a corner, was an arched opening. It was a long passageway of stone steps. Leading down below the palace, to a wooden dock. That was partly emerged above the ocean.

At the ground level of the palace were two arches, slanting upwards.
These were connected to two more towers, the same as the others. They occupied one side each, of the building.
Large waterfalls, surrounding the entire island, topped off the spectacular effect.

You crafted this? I asked Mewtwo, my voice filled with absolute awe.

Yes, he answered, quietly, pleased with my reaction.

It’s truly magnificent, I said, softly.

I knew you’d think so, he replied, grinning.

He nuzzled between my breasts, and I started to giggle.

Do you want to see the interior? he asked me, still smiling.

Yes, I answered.

If the inside was as breathtaking as the outside, then I knew I would love it.
He flew down towards the entrance, landing on the balcony. His eyes momentarily flashed blue, and the heavy doors slowly began to swing open. I was standing close against him, but then, he picked me up in his arms. Intent on carrying me inside. I let him.

It was dark inside, but that was quickly remedied.
Lights began turning on quickly, flooding the main hall. I stared awestruck, as we entered the palace. The doors closing behind us with a dull bang.

The main hall was now brightly lit. Clearly illuminating every corner, with no shadows to be found.
Everything was painted in bright colors, mostly yellow. Although, one wall, towards the back, held splashes of reds, oranges, lavender, and white.

In the center of the room, was a ramp, spiraling upwards into the tower. Two pools of still water surrounded that area.
To the right, of the staircase ramp, was a large fountain. A beautiful waterfall spilled into its base, keeping it adequately filled.
The floors, and fountain, were made of yellow marble. Plus, a couple of tall columns, with ball lights on top.

It was a true paradise.
I must have remained speechless for a full minute.

It’s gorgeous, I finally whispered.

Then, you like it? Mewtwo asked me, smiling.

Like it?! I absolutely love it! I told him, My god, you’ve out done yourself!

He started grinning.

Thank you, my love, he replied, But there is much more to see.

More?!
What other beautiful treasures did he have, hiding?

There is the utilities, he continued, And the bedroom left to explore.

He teleported, taking us to a lavishly done facility.
It was very well done. With a gray marble floor, and the very best quality of furnishings. The fixtures were even gold-plated.

My love, this is truly astonishing, I praised.

He gave me a big grin.

We’re not finished, yet, he said, playfully.

The bedroom, where he took me next, was located in the center of the main tower. The windows of the room were facing in every direction, of the sun. It was possible to see the sunrise, and sunset, from up here. There was also a spectacular view of the ocean. The water appearing to be a cornflower blue.

The bedroom, itself, was well-furnished.
A large bed with a full set of sheets, and comforter, stood in one corner of it. A nightstand, with a beautiful lamp, was standing next to it. A few other small tables, and lamps, were positioned around the room.
A cherry oak wardrobe stood not far from the bed, on the opposite wall.

All of the furniture in the room was made of cherry oak.
The lamps were Tiffany lamps, to be exact. Everything was absolutely beautiful.

It is absolutely astounding, I remarked, quietly, to him.

Mewtwo’s face bore the expression of a happy little boy.
Who had just completed a project of great importance to him.

I am truly happy, that you find it to your liking, he said, grinning.

I started smiling, also.

I could not ask for anything more magnificent, I replied.

He nuzzled my cheek lovingly. Beginning to set me down, on my feet.
He took my duffel bag off his shoulder. Putting it neatly on the floor, beside the bed.
Glancing out of the corner of my eye, towards the window, I could see the sun beginning to get ready to set.

Would you like to watch the sunset? he asked me, suddenly.

Shifting my gaze, back to him, I smiled.

I’d love to, I answered, softly.

He smiled back, coming over to me.
Gingerly taking my hand, he teleported us, outside. At the very back of the palace, facing the western horizon.
We sat down on a patch of green grass, and clover, to watch. He put his arm around me, drawing me closer against him.
I laid my head gently on his shoulder.

The sun began to set, turning the sky a reddish-gold.
As it sank lower, the red-gold disappeared, a pinkish-peach replacing it. The daytime sky was deepening, into an indigo blue.
A red-orange glow appeared, next, bathing everything in its light.

Mewtwo shifted his gaze over to me. His amethyst eyes softly glowing with pure love, and deep admiration.
He gently brushed back a lock of my hair.

You are so beautiful, my angel, he whispered, softly.

He bent his head down to mine, and softly began kissing me on my lips. It became extremely passionate, shortly after.
He gently laid us back in the soft grass. He broke off the kiss, a bit later.
His hands moved to my jeans, beginning to unfasten them. Pulling them down to my ankles.
He gingerly began pressing his body closer to mine.

I began moaning softly with absolute delight, a few seconds later.
We stayed out there, that way, until the stars began to appear in the night sky. Suggesting we go inside, due to the cold, he sat up from the ground. Then, he stood up, taking me in his arms.

He teleported us inside the palace, in the bedroom.
There, he sat me on the bed, beginning to undress me. My shoes were taken off, and casted aside. He pulled my pants right on off of me. At least, he didn’t have to do anything much, just get them off from around my ankles.
He pulled my sweater gently over my head. Being tossed aside with my pants, and shoes.

After I was completely stripped bare, I laid back, on the bed. With him joining me, immediately after.
We started where we left off, continuing to have sex.
**************************

He felt as though as he were in paradise. It was their first night together, in their new home.
Mewtwo was absolutely thrilled that Ki had loved the palace, so much. Exceeding beyond his expectations, of her reacting to it.

She had loved everything.
From the main hall to the bedroom. The outside, itself, too. She never questioned once where he got the materials, to build it. Nor, did she question him about the furnishings, inside. It was of little, or no, importance to her in knowing that information.

She didn’t care where, or how, he got the stuff. Which was fine for him. He’d have a tough time explaining, to her, that he just took it. Besides, he didn’t think she would care about it anyway.

The sunset had been absolutely glorious. More so, because she was now here, to share it with him.
When the sky began glowing such a vibrant red-orange, setting everything in flames, sort of, he gazed at her. She had her head gently resting on his shoulder, with her face illuminated by the light.
Her emerald eyes positively sparkling.

His heart began beating faster.
He was so much in love with her. Nothing could ever take her place, in his heart.
With no one around to care, or watch, they began having sex.

Later, after the sun had gone, it began turning cold. Not wanting her to get a chill, he took her inside, to the bedroom.
Taking off the rest of her clothes, they continued in bed. As of this very moment.
He delicately touched her breasts with his finger, gently caressing them. She sighed softly with absolute pleasure.
He passionately began kissing her on her lips.

A little later in the night, they had stopped, just lying together peacefully now.
She was asleep, her head gingerly resting on his chest. She had been tired, from their trip over.
Which he felt responsible for, despite what she had told him.

He had been so overjoyed, at her learning to fly, he had not thought it through carefully enough. To realize, she was still very new at it, and did not have the experience as he did.
It was like when he took his first flight. His powers draining from the amount he had to use, to keep himself from falling.
He should’ve known it would be the same for her.

He just thanked God for being able to grab her in time. He didn’t want to think about what might have happened, if he hadn’t.
Until she could fly as he did, he was going to carry her that whole journey, round trip. He wasn’t going to risk putting her in danger, again.

He didn’t see them making a trip back, until next week.
However, sometimes, as he found out many times, things don’t always go according to the plan.
**************************

The next morning, I was awakened by a soft kiss, on my lips.
Opening my eyes, I saw Mewtwo, smiling at me.

Good morning, my angel, he greeted me, softly.

I smiled at him.

Good morning, my love, I answered, quietly.

He kissed me again, longer this time.
We broke off a little bit later.

I’ve made breakfast for you, he told me.

You did? I asked, surprised.

Well, I tried anyway, he laughingly admitted.

I began laughing, as well.

It’s all right, I said, I’m sure its great.

Thank you, for saying that, he answered.

He started kissing me again, quite passionately.
It didn’t last quite as long as the previous, but that didn’t matter.

You should get dressed, my love, he suggested, And come downstairs when you’re finished.

I have a surprise for you, he added, secretively.

Ok, I replied.

He lovingly nuzzled my cheek. Giving me a mischievous smile, before teleporting away.
What was he up to? He was always so full of surprises, I could never predict what he would do next.
Making me breakfast, for instance.

I never expected he would, or at least try to. That was really sweet of him.
Now, he had something else, hiding.

Shaking my head in absolute wonder, I climbed out of bed. Pulling my duffel bag over, I unzipped it.
I pulled out, from it, a pale lavender, lightweight turtleneck. Next, I pulled out a pair of tight, flannel, pants. Also a pale lavender.

I got dressed.
Retrieving my shoes, out of a corner of the room. I put them on, lacing them tightly. I pulled out my hairbrush, next, working it carefully through my hair.

I finished, placing the brush back in the bag.
I teleported downstairs, to the main hall. I didn’t see him, so I waited for him.
Looking around the large room, explored it a little closer. A long banquet table, that I hadn’t noticed earlier, was centered in the middle.
There was a large basket of fresh fruit on it, and the results of his attempted breakfast.

It didn’t look all that bad.
He had made toast was all. I guess he hadn’t wanted to try anything more complicated. The toast was a bit burnt, but it was still warm. I took a piece, taking a bite of it.
It was very good. Considering it was his first attempt at cooking.

You don’t have to eat that, if you don’t want it, I heard him tell me, suddenly.

I turned around, seeing him behind me.
He eyed the piece of toast in my hand, with an amusing glint in his eyes.

Terrible, isn’t it? he asked me, teasingly.

No, it’s very delicious, I told him, truthfully, finishing it.

He looked at me, his face breaking into a pleased smile.

Thank you, my love, he replied, softly, I was afraid you might not think so.

I smiled at him, happy that I made him happy.
He suddenly began remembering something, and started to fiddle with whatever was in his hand. I looked at him curiously, wondering what he had.
He seemed a bit nervous, like he was scared. What was wrong?

He, then, gazed at me.
His nervousness vanishing, as quickly as it had come.

This is for you, he told me, quietly.

He came closer to me, slipping an object into my hand.
I found it was a locket, crafted from pure silver. It’s chain made of fine, and delicate, silver.

It’s beautiful, I whispered, in awe.

Open it, he told me, softly.

I opened the locket, finding a beautifully polished pure amethyst stone. Set, and shaped, into its heart.
Closing it back again, I began to feel tears, of absolute joy, in my eyes. He did not have to do this; it wasn’t necessary.
But he had wanted to, and I realized I could never give him anything of equal value, in return.

You do not have give me anything, in return for it, he told me, quietly, having read my thoughts, Your love, is what I treasure most.

He began caressing my cheek lovingly. Bending his head down, began kissing me passionately on my lips.
We kissed a few minutes. Breaking off, finally, to take a breather.
I fastened the locket around my neck.

I shall wear it, always, I told him, softly.

He carefully ran his fingers through my hair.

I know that you will, he answered, quietly.

I smiled.

Now, he said, starting to grin, Let me see how horrible that stuff I made really tastes.

I started laughing, and handed him a piece of toast.
He took it, taking a cautious bite. He ate the rest, soon after.
Reaching for another piece, after finishing the first.

Not so terrible, as you first thought, I teased him, gently, as he started on the second piece.

He gave me an amused, and guilty look.

Better than I first anticipated, he admitted, smiling.

I giggled.
He ate one more piece after that, satisfying his hunger.

I guess I’m a better cook than I realized, he remarked, chuckling.

I bursted out laughing, and he started soon after.
After a couple of minutes, our laughter faded. He gingerly took hold of my chin, gently tilting up my face to his. He delicately touched his lips to mine.

He began kissing me softly, passionately. Far too extreme for a proper description. His hand went to my pants, sliding it down into them. He touched my private, gently starting to caress it lovingly.
I softly moaned with pleasure.

After a few minutes, he pulled his hand out of my pants.
He began unfastening them. Sliding down, with no support, to my ankles.
All of this he did, without once breaking our kiss.

Wrapping his tail around my waist, pressed his body gently closer against mine. A familiar prick was felt, in between my legs. I began moaning quietly with absolute ecstasy.
He teleported us to the bedroom, where we continued in bed.
**************************

It was the morning after Ki, and Mewtwo left.
Maxi was sitting at the kitchenette’s table, drinking a cup of hot chocolate. She was noticing it was getting colder each morning. This morning, the window panes even had a light dusting of frost.

A sure sign that winter was quickly approaching.
Which meant, she would have to begin to make preparations for the Pokemon, to come indoors. None of them stayed outside in the winter; it got too cold.
She’d have to do it herself, since Uncle Samuel was away on business.

Her mind wandered, to Ki and Mewtwo. She assumed everything had gone well, with moving into their home.
She figured, once they settled in properly, they would come visit. Though, she was not expecting them, until next week.
Which would prove to be perfectly legitimate, since she had work to do herself.

She finished her hot chocolate, rinsing out the mug in the sink.
She heard a rustling near the door. If that was Eevee again, she was going to scream. It had been trying all morning to come inside. Maxi knew it was a little chilly outside, but not enough for her to let Eevee in.

If she did that, then all of the Pokemon would want to come inside.
Maxi didn’t feel like fetching an endless amount of Pokeballs. The only way they could come inside.

“You might as well just give it up, Eevee,” she called to the door, not looking up from her chore, “Because it’s not going to happen. You can’t come in.”

“Eevee may not can, but we have every intention of coming in ourselves,” a rough voice answered.

Maxi spun around, away from the sink, the mug still in her hand.
She dropped it in shock, shattering to pieces on the floor.

“You?!” she cried, in disbelief.

She had turned around to discover, to her absolute horror, Giovanni.
Plus, a handful of Team Rocket teammates.

“I thought you had died in the explosion,” Maxi said, incredulously.

“I’m alive, my dear, and doing quite well, thank you,” he answered, disdainfully.

“Which is more than I can say for you,” he added.

Maxi backed away, intending to run.
She couldn’t fight them all, there were too many. She was outnumbered five to one. Besides, they had guns, and not tranquilizer ones either.
She started running.

“Go after her!” she heard Giovanni command, “Hold her down!”

Maxi didn’t get very far, before she was tackled to the floor.
A Rocket roughly pulled her to her feet, binding her arms behind her back. She struggled to get free, but she was jabbed painfully, in the back, by the Rocket’s fist.
Giovanni began walking over to her. He stopped in front of her.

“I admire your courage, and bravery,” he told her, “But fun, and games are over. Now, where are they?”

“They?” Maxi asked, innocently, now knowing what this was all about.

Giovanni’s face contorted with frustration.

“Yes, they,” he answered, “Now, tell me where they are.”

“I don’t know,” Maxi answered, quickly.

“Don’t give me that crap, traitor!” Giovanni snapped, angrily, “Where is the girl?!”

“I told you, I don’t know,” she replied, and she didn’t know.

Maxi had no idea where Mewtwo took Ki.
Giovanni suppressed an angry scream.

“Do you realize she has costed me millions of dollars, in funding for that Pokemon,” he told her, “He is gone now, no doubt with her.”

“Do you know what upsets me more, than just losing him?” he continued, “The fact that they engaged in sexual activity. Breaking who knows how many laws of nature, between humans and Pokemon. It’s sick.”

“How would you know?” Maxi asked, irritably, defending them, “You don’t know how love works.”

“If they’re in love, then, I’m not really alive,” Giovanni retorted.

‘That can be arranged, if you want,’ Maxi thought, bitterly.

“And you helped them escape,” Giovanni added, through clenched teeth, “It’s truly remarkable how you stand here now, in the situation you are in, and tell me you don’t know where they are.”

“Because I don’t,” Maxi replied, angrily, “What part do you not understand?”

“The part, that I don’t believe you,” he answered.

“Spread out,” Giovanni commanded the remaining Rockets, “Search this place from top to bottom. I want them found.”

“As for you,” he said, turning back to Maxi, “You’re about to find out that your loyalty, and friendship, to them has a price. In turning your back, away from Team Rocket.”

He reached inside his jacket, pulling out a handgun. Clicking off the safety, he cocked it, pointing the barrel at Maxi.
She knew her time had come, and rather than to fear it, she accepted it. She had no regrets, in standing up for Ki and Mewtwo.
They were her first real friends she had ever had, and she would rather sacrifice herself, than to ever betray them.

She made her peace with God, and closing her eyes, heard the gun go off. A few seconds later, her world went cold, and dark.
She ceased to breathe.
**************************

After a while, we stopped, and we were, then, needed to do other things.
Though we hated it, our tasks separated us, for a while. He needed to do a few last minute modifications to the palace, and I needed to put away my things.
So they would be out of the way.

I began hanging up my clothes, in the wardrobe.
After I finished hanging up the last item, my evening gown, I suddenly began feeling strange. The room faded, and instead, began seeing darkness.
I felt cold, deathly cold, and I was inside. Where it was warm.

I heard a gun fire, and then, screaming. A dying scream.
A sinister face appeared, next. A face I recognized.
The vision faded, shortly after, and I was left shaking with fright. That face belonged to Giovanni.
He was alive.

‘Maxi,’ I thought, suddenly.

Maxi, there was something wrong with her.
Something wasn’t right, I couldn’t feel her anymore. Even being at such a distance, I couldn’t feel her mind.
It was dead, there was no function.

Maxi! I cried, with anguish.

Oh, god! She was dead!
I didn’t know it for certain, but it certainly felt that way.

My love, please come quickly. Something has happened, I said/sent to Mewtwo.

It was only about a second later, before he appeared.

My angel, are you all right? he asked, worriedly, embracing me.

I’m fine, my love, I answered, assuring him, But it is not me that is in trouble. Something has happened to our friend.

He stared at me incredulously.

How do you know? he asked, curiously.

A vision came to me, before you arrived, I explained, I could see nothing but darkness, and feel nothing but cold, death cold.

I paused a minute.

Then, I saw a face, Giovanni’s. He’s alive, I continued, I just know he’s done something horrible to Maxi, I just know it.

I started crying softly, burying my face in his fur.
I hadn’t mentioned the gun, or the screaming, because I couldn’t go on.

Shh, my love, he hushed me, softly, Everything will be all right. I’ll make certain of that.

He sounded very angry, though not at me.

I will return to mainland, he told me, And stop whatever that madman has befallen on our friend.

I lifted up my face, my tears subsiding.

I’m coming with you, I replied.

No, my love, he answered, shaking his head, It will be far too dangerous for you. I will not risk you to such dangers.

Please, my love, I pleaded, She is my friend as well. I want to help.

He looked at me.
With a gentle, steady, gaze.

All right, my angel, he complied, But promise me you will be careful. Stay with me, and don’t wander. I have no idea what we might find.

I promise, my love, I told him, softly.

He gave me a gentle kiss on my lips.

We must leave now, in order to reach her, he said, I hope we are not too late, to save her.

He picked me up in his arms, teleporting outside. Without delay, he took off, flying us across the ocean.
To the mainland, to Maxi.

Please, I prayed, silently, Please, let us reach her in time.
**************************

This was a nightmare.
How on Earth could anyone survive such a blast, that he created? It still wasn’t sinking in well, that Giovanni was truly alive.
Mewtwo did not doubt Ki’s word. She would never make up something that wasn’t true. Especially, anything coming to harm with Maxi. She was their friend.

He, and Ki were now leaving the ocean behind, and was racing across land.
He was flying at a very rapid pace. He wanted to arrive as soon as they possibly could. He was fearing the worst. At the same, hoping for the best.

He had not wanted Ki to come along, but he could not stand to see her beg him. Her words rang true, though.
She was as much as Maxi’s friend as he was. He just didn’t want her to get hurt, was all. She understood that, but he didn’t want to keep her from doing what she thought was helpful, to him.

In a way, he was glad she had wanted to come.
Her company was keeping him from going crazy. In trying to figure out a way to obliterate Giovanni, for good.
Mewtwo despised him with a passion. He lied to him, and used him.
He had even been partly responsible for him nearly losing Ki.

Now, Heaven only knew what he’d done, or was doing, to Maxi.
To his relief, Mewtwo began to see the white building, of her uncle’s home. It was time to find out what was really going on.
**************************

Within minutes, it seemed, we arrived at Maxi’s uncle’s house.
Mewtwo landed, without a sound, on the ground. He set me down, quietly, on my feet.

Stay close, my love, he warned me, slipping his hand into mine.

He gently squeezed it, in reassurance that I was.
We walked cautiously to the door, which was standing wide open. It looked as if it had been forced in.
He caught a scent. Giving a soft, angry, warning growl.

They’re here all right, he remarked, darkly.

Stay behind me, he told me.

I moved behind him a little bit, him never letting go of my hand.
His tail was moving in a swift, agitated, gait.

We walked inside, a little bit at a time.
The place was a wreck. Everything had been tossed about, and in some fits of frustration, ripped apart.
Adverting my eyes over to the tiny kitchen, I caught sight of something that would haunt my dreams, from that point on.

Oh, god, I whispered, in horror, No, God, not Maxi.

Mewtwo shifted his gaze quickly over, in the direction of mine.

Oh, shit, he said, quietly.

I could only stare.
I was not believing this; I was choosing not to believe it. But it was true, no matter how much I denied it.
Maxi was dead.
**************************

He couldn’t believe it. The one human, other than Ki, that he trusted was dead. Killed, no doubt, by Giovanni, or one of his thugs. It was at this point, Mewtwo became infuriated.
His friend, their friend, was gone. Her life taken, by humans lower than the earth they walked upon.

Ki began sobbing, and he held her in comfort.
He felt saddened, also, at the discovery of Maxi’s lifeless body. At least, by looking at the wound on her chest, her death was quick. Therefore, she did not suffer.
He gently ran his fingers through Ki’s hair.

Shh, he hushed her, softly.

He gingerly laid his head on hers.

“Isn’t this a touching moment?” a voice said sarcastically, in front of them, suddenly.

Mewtwo jerked his head back up, seeing Giovanni standing there. He had a gun in his hand.
Also hearing the voice, Ki stopped crying, and turned around. Facing Giovanni, also, she glared at him in fury.

Why did you kill Maxi? she demanded.

He advanced towards her, but was stopped, by Mewtwo’s warning hiss.

That is far enough, human, he growled, angrily.

Giovanni gritted his teeth in irritation, but he listened to him.
He was smart enough to know what Mewtwo was capable of.

Answer her question, he commanded, Why did you kill our friend?

“I killed her because she wouldn’t tell me where you were,” Giovanni answered, “She died, trying to protect you.”

Maxi had sacrificed her life, for them. She wouldn’t betray them to Giovanni, when he had asked her.
Mewtwo became deeply saddened at this. He also felt deep gratitude, for her undying loyalty.
He promised himself, then, he would serve her justice. In bringing down the one who killed her.

“I don’t see why she would defend you,” Giovanni continued, suddenly, “You’re of no better than scum. Especially, the girl, who is only fit to be dead.”

He raised the gun at Ki, quickly shooting it off.

No! Mewtwo screamed, immediately using Barrier.

The bullet bounced harmlessly off, to the ground.

“Damn you, you freak of nature!” Giovanni roared, in rage.

Go, quickly, my love, Mewtwo told Ki, dissipating his Barrier.

She began running away, towards the door. Giovanni, seeing his chance, cocked the gun, and fired again.
Not expecting this, Mewtwo didn’t have time to put up another Barrier. The bullet whizzed past him, rapidly closing in on its target.

Ki!! he shouted.
**************************

I turned around, quickly, in time. I saw the bullet speeding towards me.
I immediately used Barrier, making it bounce off harmlessly.

Oh, god, I heard Mewtwo say, relieved.

“Unbelievable,” Giovanni remarked, to me, in awe, “I never would’ve known you could do that.”

You had to nearly kill me, to see? I answered, furiously.

“I wouldn’t have known otherwise, now would I?” he replied.

You’ve just made the biggest mistake of your life, human, Mewtwo told him, suddenly, grinning maliciously.

“What does that supposed to mean?” Giovanni demanded.

You’ll see, Mewtwo answered, with an amused twinkle in his eye.

Already using my power for Barrier, I faded it, beginning to charge it to a higher intensity. My body began glowing bright amethyst, my eyes glowing as well.
Giovanni was looking at me, like he was dreaming. He just kept staring at me.
Good. It was nice to see I was making such an impression on him, before totally destroying him.

I started off by telekinetically swiping the gun from his hand. I brought it back to myself, handing it to Mewtwo.
He took it, crushing it in his hand. The gun was only a twisted piece of metal now.
He dropped it in disgust. Kicking it across the floor, with his foot.

I, then, began using Disable on Giovanni. Preventing any attempts of escape.
I used Telekinesis, next, lifting him up in the air.

“Hey! What is this?!” he yelped, in surprise, “Put me down at once!”

You brought it on yourself, Mewtwo answered him, So, shut up, and let her finish.

Using a Psyblast, I threw Giovanni, straight into a wall. The blast was powerful enough to leave a slight imprint of his body.
He slid into a heap, on the ground. I dissolved my energy, then, becoming normal again. He wasn’t unconscious, yet, but he was getting there.

Mewtwo was gazing at me with pure astonishment, and deep admiration.
He shifted his gaze, back at Giovanni. With a smug grin, began walking over to him. He stopped near him. Looking down at him, with disdain.

It’s one thing to mess with me, he said to him, It’s another when you mess with my angel.

“Angel, nothing,” Giovanni managed to reply, weakly, “She is an absolute tyrant.”

Mewtwo’s grin began instantly fading, replaced by an angry scowl.
Baring his teeth, in fury.

Now, is where you cross into my territory, he told Giovanni, snarling, As long as I’m around, she is not to be scorned upon. Nor, will she be harmed, especially by the likes of you!

Reeling his arm back, he let it fly, at Giovanni.
His fist connecting hard, with his right temple. Knocking him completely cold, instantly.

Hmph! Mewtwo growled, giving Giovanni’s lifeless body a final kick.

I just stood there.
Gazing at him, in absolute awe. That had been one powerful punch he was packing. He walked over to me, gently embracing me. He nuzzled my cheek lovingly.

No one bad mouths you, and gets away with it, he told me, quietly.

Obviously not, judging by the crack in Giovanni’s skull.

You were most impressive, my angel, he remarked, proudly.

I gave him a pleased grin.

“This is all very interesting,” a voice interrupted, disdainfully, “But we have orders to detain you, now that you are here.”

We turned around, in surprise, to find five Team Rocket members. All armed with guns.
Not this again.

Then, you shall suffer the same fate as your leader, Mewtwo answered, angrily.

Not wasting a second, he used Barrier, forming a shield around us.
Not a moment too soon, either. The Rockets began firing their guns at us, but each bullet bounced harmlessly off.

The Barrier still around us, Mewtwo used Telekinesis, ripping the guns from out of their hands.
He angrily crushed them, with a thought. Casting them away, in a corner of the room.

Your metal toys are useless now, he told them, growling, You have nothing to defend yourselves with, except your own physical strength. Which is useless, as well.

With their guns now twisted, as easily as a piece of wire, they weren’t so brave as before. They began running away.
Mewtwo’s eyes flashed bright blue. Stopping every one of them, with Disable.

It is useless to run from me, foolish humans, he said, irritably, You cannot escape my power.

He used a powerful Psychic Blast. Blowing them away, like leaves in the wind. They were thrown into the wall, behind them. Being crushed like eggshells, to their deaths.
They fell to the ground. Each one mangled beyond recognition, like a child’s broken doll.

Mewtwo dissolved the Barrier, dissipating his Psychic powers.
He sighed in exasperation.

They are so hard to rid of, he remarked to me.

Like roaches, I commented.

He looked at me, confused.

Like what? he asked, puzzled.

Insects, pests. Never mind, I explained, chuckling, ending the subject after he still looked bewildered.

He gave a small chuckle, then.

I understand what you mean, now, he said, smiling at me, Yes, they are.

I smiled back.
I looked around the room. Noting, again, the mess we made, and the mess already made before we came.
Shifting my gaze, over to the kitchenette, I caught sight of Maxi again.

I started feeling tears in my eyes.
She was the most wonderful friend in the world. It was so hard to believe she was really gone.
I wish that I could’ve known her sooner. I liked her from the very beginning, when she was there to greet me, when I first came.

She had listened to me, about when I first revealed my feelings for Mewtwo.
She had not thought me crazy, for loving him. She had even brought us together, in a way.
She risked her life to save me, when I was ill, from being taken away by Team Rocket. She became Mewtwo’s friend, in doing so.
Now, she had sacrificed her life for us, by refusing to betray us.

What do we do about Maxi? I asked Mewtwo, quietly.

He looked over in her direction, as well.
His eyes filled with sorrow.

I don’t know, my love, he answered, solemnly, Except, we should give her a proper burial.

We must leave that to her relatives, my love, I told him, They, too, will be deeply saddened. Her uncle may become worried, though, if we are to conceal her. He will not know where she has gone. Her sudden disappearance may arouse suspicions. If we leave her like she is, they will at least know who killed her.

They won’t be going anywhere, I added, adverting my eyes to the dead Rockets.

Hmm, he replied, thoughtfully, You are correct, my love. Then, we shall pay her our respects. It is, after all, the least we can do for her. After giving her life to protect us.

This was going to be incredibly hard, for us both.
I elected to go first. Although, I did not want to do it, at all.

Good-bye, my friend, I whispered, softly, I wish I could’ve done more, to help you. As you helped us.

I silently began crying, him holding me in comfort.

I do not know what to say, I heard him begin, Except, I am truly sorry. I am honored to have had you as my friend.

Our friend, he added, softly, gently stroking my cheek.

A few tears ran down his cheeks. Brushing them away, with his hand.
We walked out the door, then, never once looking back. It was better that way.
Better to remember her as she was before, when she was alive. Not as she was now.

Let’s go home, he said to me, quietly.

He picked me up in his arms.
Starting to fly, in the direction of the palace.
**************************

It had been one of the hardest tasks he ever had to accomplish, and he wished that he would never have to do it again. Saying good-bye, to the only human friend he ever had. The one responsible for bringing the treasure, he now held in his arms.

Mewtwo knew there wasn’t any other human, aside from Ki, out there, that treated him as equal as theirselves. Although, Ki was not exactly a human, as it was proven about a week ago.
But, he was forgetting something else, as well. He was not all Pokemon, but his faith in the other half of his heritage was non-existent.
He did not trust any human.

The one he did trust was murdered, by those he didn’t. Now, Ki was the only person who had his full trust, and faith.
She nestled in his fur, closing her eyes. She soon fell asleep, tired from the emotional exertion.

He smiled at her warmly, giving her a soft kiss on her forehead.
He would never fully realize how truly, genuinely, fortunate he was to have her.
The sunlight caught the locket around her neck, making it shimmer. It had been his gift to her; as a token of his undying love.

He had been scared, at first, in giving it to her. He hadn’t been sure if she would accept it.
He had felt a little foolish in thinking that, afterwards. She loved him, and he knew she would accept anything he gave her.

He was very lucky to have found such a trinket. It had been carelessly thrown away, in some human’s trash.
It was of great value, made out of a precious metal. The stone inside it was of equal value.

When he found it, he thought of her, and kept it.
Then, waiting for the right moment, to give it to her. This morning, had been the right moment for him.
He made her breakfast. Fixing the only thing he dared to try, toast. Which turned out pretty well, despite his fears. They had fun teasing one another about it.
He gave a soft chuckle, remembering.

He’d given her the locket, after she told him that she liked the toast.
He had liked what came next. For that matter, he always liked it, whenever it happened.

The ocean was beginning to come into view. It wouldn’t be much longer, before they reached New Island.
A few minutes later, the palace was making itself visible, in the distance. Landing on the balcony, a minute later, he teleported to the bedroom.

Laying his still sleeping angel carefully on the bed.
He took off her shoes. She stirred slightly, giving a soft sigh, but did not awaken.
He pulled the bed covers around her. Gently brushing back a lock of her hair, from her face.
He gave her a delicate kiss on her cheek.

He let her sleep, for now.
There was something he wanted to do. He wanted to think.
About what, he wasn’t sure. Maybe it was because, he felt like having a little quiet time, to himself.
Not that he didn’t want to stay with her. Something was drawing him, to go outdoors. The feeling was hard to explain.

With a final loving glance in her direction, he teleported.
**************************

When I awoke, some time later, I found that I was in bed. I was back home.
I looked around for Mewtwo, not seeing him in the room. He must be busy doing other things, in another part of the palace.

I threw back the covers, getting out of bed. I slipped on my shoes, and left the bedroom, in search of him.
I didn’t bother with teleporting. I decided, instead, to perfect my powers in flying.
Actually, gliding. I didn’t have to be specific, though, just so long as it was improved.

I glided down to the main room.
Landing with a dull clump, on the floor. Not as feather light as I was hoping, but it would get better.
I glanced around. The room was totally empty, and silent.
The only sound was the fountain’s waterfall.

Where could he be? I wondered.

Not sure why, I suddenly began thinking that he might be outside. Teleporting, I reappeared again outdoors, on the island’s eastern shore.
I breathed in the salt air. It was much different, than the air inland.
It was healthier, and fresher.

The sun was lower in the west, now. So, it was about early evening.
A warm, gentle, breeze was blowing. Softly waving my hair.
Every now and then, a wave would crash below, against the island. Sending up a light spray of water.
Looking out over the ocean, the water was still, and clear as glass.

It was peaceful out here. If he was out here, I didn’t blame him.
It was perfect, in getting away from it all. A quiet place to think, and spend some time alone.
It was best that I didn’t continue my search; I’d let him alone. We were both entitled to privacy, and it would be disrespectful to invade.

I sat down on the ground, dangling my legs over the cliff. Letting the spray tickle them.
I stared across the ocean, toward the mainland. It seemed so far away, untouchable. Everything I knew was over there. My old life, my old home, and a mission that never existed.
I don’t know why there was so much worry, over nothing.

Mew was wrong. There was no danger to begin with.
Mewtwo was kind, and gentle, to me. We loved each other deeply.
The only times he expressed any hostility, towards anyone, is when I’m being threatened.

Of course, I can’t blame him for wanting to totally annihilate Team Rocket, because of the grief they’ve caused us. The most recent, in killing Maxi.
I hated to think what her parents, and uncle, were going through now.

I sort of wanted my own revenge, against Team Rocket.
For treating us like we were nothing, scum. As Giovanni pointed out, during our run in with him.
It was hard for people to accept that Mewtwo, and I were as we were, with one another. A Pokemon, and a human being lovers.
It wasn’t unusual, to us. It was natural; it felt right.
We weren’t going to be torn apart, because someone couldn’t deal with it.

Thinking back to Mew, I wondered how exactly she would react, in finding out we were in love. I’m certain it would probably astound her, a bit.
She had wanted me to be friends with him. Though, who knew?
She didn’t, and I certainly didn’t know. That we’d end up being in love, instead of friends.
But I liked the way we were, I preferred it. I’m sure he does, too.

I wouldn’t have it any other way, my angel, I heard his voice, suddenly.

Turning my head, to the side, I saw him standing beside me.
He was smiling at me. I smiled back.

Do you want some company? he asked me, softly.

If it’s you, always, my love, I answered, quietly.

Stooping down, he sat beside me. Putting his legs over the edge, as well.
He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close. I gently rested my head on his chest, nestling in his fur.
He rested his head gingerly on mine, his tail curling around my hip.

What were you thinking of? he inquired, quietly.

Us, I replied, softly, And many other things, but mostly about you and me.

Hmm, he said, smiling.

We sat there for awhile, not saying anything more.

Where did you live, before you came to me? he asked, curiously, breaking the long silence.

I understand, if you do not answer, he added, immediately after, I really shouldn’t pry. Forgive me, for asking, my love.

No, it’s all right, I assured him, You do not have to apologize.

I lived at the Pokemon Gym, where I was abandoned, I continued, I was found, and raised there, by the Gym Leader.

I neglected to mention Mew. The subject was a little touchy, for me anyway.
I’d have to tell him why, and it would probably go from there. Until, the part about the mission, now non-existent. I didn’t want to reveal, to him, the true purpose I had come. This was one secret that I had to keep from him, so it wouldn’t destroy us.

Were you satisfied, living there? he asked me.

For a while, yes, I replied, It was the only home I knew, and I had someone to love me. But it changed, when I met you. You’ve given me something I’ve wanted for a long time, companionship.

He began to smile, beginning to caress my cheek.

I, too, desired a companion, he answered, I couldn’t have asked for a better one, than you.

He gave me a soft kiss on my lips.
Beginning to turn passionate, a few seconds later. Things started heating up a bit.
He began kissing me in a newer way. One, that absolutely took my breath away.
We stopped a bit later, taking a breather.

Lying me back gingerly against the grass, his hands went to my pants, beginning to unfasten them. Gently tugging them down, to around my knees.
He laid down next to me, gingerly pressing his body up against mine. I began moaning softly with pure delight.
Our sex becoming passionate, and vivid, beyond description.

Oh, god! It didn’t get any better than this.
He began kissing me again, breathtakingly passionate. His hand slipped in under my shirt. Moving upward, to my breasts. Delicately beginning to fondle them.
I sighed with pleasure.

It was after sunset, when we finally took a break. A little over an hour had passed, since we began.
With night approaching, it began to get a little chillier.

We’d best go inside, my love, he told me, quietly, I will not have you catching a chill.

All right, my love, I replied, softly.

Sitting up, he began to stand up on his feet. Kneeling down, to scoop me into his arms.
Now holding me, securely, he teleported to our bedroom. He set me down, on my feet. I pulled up my pants, fastening them around my hips.

Are you hungry, my love? he inquired me, curiously, suddenly, I will find us something to eat, if you desire.

I suppressed a grin. He was hungry, and he wished to know if I was, as well.
Even if I weren’t, I wouldn’t let that stop him, from getting something himself.

I am, a bit, I admitted.

I will get us something, then, he said, with a slightly relieved smile.

Giving me quick kiss on my lips, he teleported.
Right after he left, I bursted out laughing. He was genuinely famished, and had been absolutely all too pleased to go get something to eat, effective immediately.
My laughter died down, after a minute.

I decided, then, to take a shower. To get cleaned up for dinner.
I took off my clothes, stuffing them in my duffel bag. Remembering to take my locket off, as well.
Carefully depositing it on the nightstand.

I teleported to the facilities. It was simply amazing, at how he accomplished at such a task.
It was well stocked with towels, and such. He had thought of everything.
Everything was in perfect working order.

I began taking a shower, washing my hair as well. A few minutes later, I finished, shutting off the water.
Grabbing a towel, I wrapped it around my body. Getting out, I grabbed another, wrapping it around my head.
I dried myself off, afterwards. The towel, around my head, being pulled off.
After absorbing the wetness in my hair, which was nearly dry now.

I put both towels in a laundry hamper, that I found in there.
I teleported to the bedroom, beginning to get dressed.
I chose to wear the evening gown, and surprise him with it. I slipped it on, being careful to smooth out any wrinkles.
I fastened the locket around my neck again.

Among some pieces of furniture, ones I neglected to mention, there was a small vanity. Picking up my hairbrush, where I left it on the nightstand, I sat down in its chair. I carefully began working it through my hair. Brushing it in long, even, strokes.

I was just about finished, when I suddenly realized, I wasn’t holding my brush anymore.
A bit startled, I turned around, to find a smiling Mewtwo. He was holding my brush in his hand.
He had slipped it carefully from my hand.

Ohh, you, I said, starting to giggle.

Yes, me, he replied, grinning.

God, you look beautiful, my love, he added, in a soft whisper.

I smiled.
He began brushing my hair, carefully. He was a bit unsteady at first, but very gentle otherwise.
He soon began getting the hang of it. Now brushing with soft, even, strokes.
I closed my eyes with content, enjoying the feel of his brushing.

A few minutes later, he stopped, laying the brush down on the vanity.
Opening my eyes again, I smiled at him.

Thank you, my love, I told him, softly, I thoroughly enjoyed having you to brush it.

I am pleased, that you did, my angel, he answered, quietly.

He wrapped his arms around my waist.

I’ve brought us something to eat, he told me, with a wry grin, Shall we go downstairs?

I suppressed a giggle.

Of course, I answered, smiling.

He picked me up in his arms then, teleporting to the main hall. We reappeared, seconds later, to find a well-laid spread.
Containing fruits, cheeses, meats, and fresh bread. Where did he get all this?
I didn’t ask, though.

There were two goblets set next to each other, on the table.
They were made of real gold, with pinkish-red jewels set into the sides. They were absolutely beautiful.
Filled with a sparkling, apple, cider.

This is truly astounding, my love, I remarked to him.

He smiled proudly at me. He was pleased to know I liked it.
He walked over to the table, to one of the two places. Setting me on my feet, he pulled out the chair for me.
I sat down with care, because of my dress.

He pushed the chair back in. Close enough to the table, but far enough so I wouldn’t be squashed.
Then, he sat down, in the place beside me.

We began to eat, sharing our food between us.
I sampled a little of each dish. Finishing off with an apple, sweet and juicy, for dessert. Everything had been absolutely delicious, a meal worthy of royalty.

This was truly excellent, my love, I praised him.

Thank you, my angel, he replied, a bit bashfully.

He was very happy I liked it so well, and a bit embarrassed in knowing he achieved my approval.
I knew he particularly enjoyed it, himself, consuming a little more than I did. Also, being as famished as he was, played a part in it.
He had satisfied himself shortly before my comment.

Now, that we were both finished, he cleared the table free of everything. Making it disappear in a blink of an eye.
He stood up from his chair, pushing it in. He came up behind my chair, pulling it out for me.
He gingerly took hold of my hand, helping me up. I smiled at him, as a thank you.
He smiled back.

He pushed the chair in, with his free hand.

I planned a little surprise for us, my love, he told me, with a mischievous grin.

His eyes, momentarily, flashed blue.
The lights shut off, making the room dark. The only light was from the glow of the ball lanterns, keeping the room dimly lit.
From somewhere, I heard soft music, beginning to play.

He was going to dance with me!
I’ve never danced before, and I wasn’t too sure if he had either. But the point was, he was willing to give it a try, and that meant I would try as well.
It was very sweet, and romantic, of him to plan this. I owed him that much, at least.

Still holding my hand, he guided me to the center of the floor, away from the table. Putting us near the fountain, its sound blending beautifully with the music.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I put my hands on his shoulders. We began to dance.

His moves were graceful, fluent. Not at all what I expected.
Leading me expertly along. The skirt of my dress softly rustling at the hem, around my ankles.
We flowed smoothly along the floor, as if dancing on air. We never took our eyes off each other. Dreamily staring into one another’s.

He stopped dancing, suddenly, the music ending.
He bent his head down to mine, delicately touching his lips to my lips. Beginning to kiss me, with breathtaking passion.
I softly moaned with pleasure.

I could feel him beginning to lift up my skirt. Pulling it up, until the hem touched my hips.
It was held in place, as his tail wrapped around my waist, pulling my body against his. He gently began pressing his body closer against mine.
I began moaning quietly with immense ecstasy.

Still engaging in sex, he teleported us to the bedroom.
There, we stopped kissing, in need for a breather. He slipped off the remainder of my dress, depositing it in a chair.
Still holding me against him, he laid us down in bed.

We made love that night, in a way it seemed as if we couldn’t get enough.
In the early morning hours, we finally ceased. Falling asleep, not long afterwards.
I was sleeping on his front; with him beneath me. His head resting peacefully on mine. His arms were still wrapped around me, holding me gingerly against him.

He was snoring very gently. Music, rather than noise, to my ears.
With a contented sigh, I carefully nestled in his fur, lapsing into a deeper sleep.
**************************

He was the first to awake, the next morning. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows, painting the room pale yellow.
He looked down at his front, smiling warmly. She was still asleep, breathing deeply. He lightly gave her a gentle nuzzle, on her cheek.

She gave a soft sigh, and smiled, but didn’t awake. He didn’t persist in waking her, either.
He gently began running his fingers through her hair. His thoughts beginning to drift, back to last night.
Starting after he left her, to think outdoors.
**************************

Mewtwo had sat there, on the island’s edge, for a long while.
He was sitting on the island’s western shore. Absent-mindedly watching the sun sink lower in the sky.
His thoughts had been a jumble. Some making sense, and others so foreign, he wasn’t sure if they were his own.

The thoughts that were familiar, to him, were the ones that agonized him the most. They all reflected back on his birth, and his treatment by those humans. Not to mention, those at Team Rocket.
None had treated him like themselves. He was inferior to them, scorned.
Worth nothing expect to be their puppet, only alive to please them.

That was not what he wanted, to be a slave. He lived his life to please himself, not others.
Only two brightly burning candles had lit up his life, in a positive way, so far. One, had been recently snuffed out, unjustly.
A human, that had been his friend. Someone who did not treat him different from her ownself.

He had been a little confused at that, at first.
He grew to like her, seeing that she was true to her nature. Still thinking of him as someone like her.
He was extraordinarily sorry that she was now gone. Giving up something he could never repay her for, ever. Her life.

Then, there was the other bright candle in his life, Ki. A person not unlike himself. They shared everything in common with each other, even their genetic coding. Which had about boggled his mind completely, when he first found out.
Also, finding out about himself, as well. That, too, blew his mind completely.

Even if it were different, in that particular case, he would still love her the same. No one ever tried as hard as she did to get to know him. At their first meeting, no less. Others had been fearful of him, never staying around long enough.
When some did overcome their fear, they were still wary of him. Always keeping an ever watchful eye on him, to be sure he didn’t pull a trick on them.

He had hated that.
He just wanted someone to accept him as he was, and never be afraid that he might hurt them. He was sometimes a little hasty in his actions, and words, which scared them off. A lot of times, he wasn’t sorry, for doing it. He had sensed hostility, within them, towards him.
Meaning, the slightest mistake, on his part, would set them off. Doing God knows what to him.
He had gotten rid of them, before it happened.

Over time, the number of people hating him grew, resulting in a self-hatred.
He began to hate himself, as well as humans. Until, the day he found a human that did not hate him, even from the beginning.
She had fallen in love with him, instead.

Creating a confusion in him. Not only because of that, but he fell in love with her himself.
In his confusion, he’d driven her away. Which he had been god-awful sorry for afterwards.
Then, thinking she would never forgive him, and start hating him like the rest.

He was proven to be very wrong, at thinking that, because she forgave him.
In a time, almost one could call immediately, confusing him even farther. Was it a trick? The more he had thought about it, the more he realized it wasn’t.

No longer confused, he had let the other feeling, of her, consume him completely. The feeling of love. A feeling he could still not fully describe, but he never wanted it to leave, ever.
She would never, nor he himself, know how much he loved her.

A lot of times he would know.
During good times were the best, but he couldn’t ever forget a few bad times, as well. Ones in which he wished had never happened, but the end results did seem to turn out even better, than originally.

One particular time he still couldn’t forget was, when he thought he’d lost her forever.
The memory still brought tears to his eyes, but he reminded himself each time that she was alive, and she was here with him. Not always physically, but in spirit.
She was always present in his heart, no matter where he was. Though, her being here physically, was even better.

His other thoughts, the unfamiliar ones, were confusing.
They were memories of a different time, a different place. They were happier, more carefree.
Nothing he ever experienced his life, but they were still there.

The memories were puzzling him greatly.
Flying around in a dense jungle, sometimes a mountain. Spinning in the air, even sometimes chasing his own tail.
All the while, giggling, like a silly fool.

He shook his head to clear them.
They were not his, at all. Those memories were of the Mew he was created from, his brother.
It made him suddenly become angry. His life was not his own, but shared with another. Another he wished to eliminate from him, all together.

Again, he realized, his thinking had been a little hasty. That, he simply could not do. In doing so, he would destroy the one he loved so dearly. Since she, herself, shared the same fate as him.
This was certainly a big problem, for them both.

The mystery surrounding her was even greater than his own. He knew one of his genetic parents, but she knew nothing of hers.
He guessed that she had asked questions, but never gotten answers. Giving up, after a while, and learned to accept herself as she was.
Something he was still having trouble at.

Who, though, were her parents? Where had they came from, and why would they just discard her?
She had been treated like he himself was treated, as being worthless. She, though, had been spared the pain, and suffering he went through. With dishonest, and hateful, humans.

That still didn’t excuse the fact, that she had been thoughtlessly casted aside.
He thought the humans he knew were cruel, and hateful, but the humans who abandoned his angel? Those were humans who did not deserve to breathe, the very air of this planet. Their fates were ones of forever burning, in a fiery hell.

Mewtwo tightly clenched his hands, making them both into fists. They shook with the very anger he was feeling, that was bottled up inside of him.
How much more were they to endure, before it became too much? He already wanted revenge on Team Rocket.
Not to mention, a revenge, of sorts, on Ki’s so called parents. But as long as Ki sees no reason for it, then he wouldn’t proceed with it.

He sighed in frustration, his anger beginning to dissipate. For her sake, he’d try hard not to consider revenge.
The fire from his anger now gone, he sat there, just staring out over the ocean. Now, and then absent-mindingly twitching his tail.

A few minutes passed by, before he began sensing another presence.
It was on the other side of the island, near the eastern shore. At first, he began thinking it was a trespasser, having somehow discovered the island.

He put up his guard, wary of everything around him.
He stood up, beginning to cautiously make his way east.
As he approached nearer, to the opposite side, he dropped his guard. Now knowing who he was sensing, sighing quietly with relief. In realizing, it was only her, and not an intruder.
Also, relieved he did not make any hasty actions, in attacking. He could never live with himself, if he had mistakenly hurt her.

He reached the eastern shore, seeing her sitting on the edge. Her legs hanging over the side.
The late evening sun kissed her hair, turning it a bright copper. A gentle breeze, from the ocean, stirred it softly.

For a minute, he stood there, staring dreamily at her. His heart thudding against his chest.
He began to get a sick feeling in his stomach. Like the very day he first met her, and everytime since then, when he always gazed at her.

He walked quietly over, stopping next to her. He studied her face, finding she was deep in thought.
He smiled. Seeing how she was as he had been, just only a little while ago.
They were more alike than he realized.

He knew it wasn’t right to listen in, but he was curious to know what she was thinking. He caught the tail end of one thought, something to do with friends.
Then, she began thinking of them, glad that they were as they are. Not having it any other way, and knowing he would feel the same.
He smiled, and began speaking to her.

I would not have it any other way, my angel, he told her.

She turned her head, in surprise, to her side. Seeing him standing there, smiling at her.
She began smiling back.

Do you want some company? he asked her, next, quietly.

Always, if it’s you, my love, she answered, softly.

Smiling, he sat down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and gently pulled her closer to him.
She laid her head gingerly on his chest, nestling in his fur. He delicately rested his head on hers.
He curled his tail around her hip.

What were you thinking? he asked, softly.

Us, and other things, but mostly us, she said, quietly.

Hmm, he answered, dreamily, smiling.

They sat in silence for a while, enjoying each other’s company.
He suddenly, out of the blue, began to ask her a question.

Where did you live, before? he said, curiously.

Ohh, boy.
Where had that come from? That was not a question he should’ve even asked.
He began to apologize to her, for asking. She told him there was no need for an apology, and she answered his question.

He learned she was raised at the place where she was abandoned, by the leader of the gym.
He, then, asked her if she had been happy living there. Her reply was she had, but everything changed, upon meeting him.
Granting her desire for a companion.

He started smiling at her. Happy that he had been able to give her what she wished, himself.
He also told her that he wanted a companion, and it was true. He longed for someone to accept him as he was.
She, too, gave him what he desired.

He began kissing her softly on her lips.
Becoming heated with breathtaking passion, only seconds later. They let nature take its course, having sex not long afterwards.
They continued, until dusk, when it started getting colder. He took her inside, afraid of her getting a chill.
Once inside, he awkwardly realized he was hungry.

‘Nice timing,’ he thought to himself, irritably.

It couldn’t have happened at a more inconvenient moment.
It was, of course, the nature of things. Right now, it was giving him one hell of a time. He was famished.
Toast only went so far, and skipping lunch didn’t actually help either.

He asked her, first, if she wanted anything.
He wasn’t going to run off getting him something to eat, and not get her anything. To his relief, she answered that she was. He told her he’d get them something, then. Giving her a quick kiss good-bye, before leaving.

He flew over to the mainland, very rapidly.
He found a pretty decent establishment, not too much later. Being careful not to be seen, he began to glide down, to the back of the building.
Now on the ground, he began to devise a plan. He would have to be careful not to get caught. Not only for taking the food, but he didn’t want to risk being seen period.
This was proving to be a little trickier than he first anticipated.

The back door suddenly opened, and Mewtwo crept back farther in the shadows. A man came out, carrying cardboard boxes. He deposited them in a dumpster, across from the building.
Watching him, Mewtwo suddenly thought of an idea. This human could get the food for him.
Since this man worked here, there wouldn’t be any suspicions, that something peculiar was happening.

The man was now coming back, and seeing his chance, Mewtwo’s eyes flashed ice blue. Taking control of the human’s mind, if one could call it a mind.
He commanded him to return inside, and bring back some of the finest delectables there were. In a few minutes, the human emerged outside again, carrying a small cardboard box.
He gave it to Mewtwo.

Inside, were two trays, a large, wrapped, package, and a variety of fruits.
The trays held a variety of meats, and cheeses. Mewtwo partly unwrapped the package, finding fresh baked bread. He gave a pleased smile, wrapping the bread back up.

You have done well, human, he told the man, Your task for me is complete.

With a quick wave of his arm, Mewtwo released the human, from his control.
The man crumpled to the ground, in a dead faint. Any memory, of Mewtwo, completely erased.

With the box in his hands, Mewtwo floated up, then, rapidly flying away.
He shot up high above the buildings, heading in the direction of the palace. Before long, he could make out the lining, of its towers.
He began smiling. Knowing he would soon see his angel, and have her back in his arms.

He reached the island, a minute later, entering the palace by teleport. To the main hall, where he began arranging his goodies on the table.
He found two surprises, he had not seen before, inside the box. A jar of sparkling apple cider, and a strange, electronic, device.

He nearly went into a rage, over that one. He didn’t like anything resembling the horrid device that cretin had, at Team Rocket.
He picked it up, ready to destroy it, when his finger accidentally touched its button. It clicked, and he began bracing himself, for the worst, squeezing his eyes shut.

A moment passed, with nothing happening.
Then, he heard a sound, coming from it. It was soft, and musical, with a sweet lilt to it. Mewtwo opened his eyes, beginning to listen. It was music, that was playing from the device.
He liked the way it sounded, reminding him very much of Ki.

For some reason, he started thinking of dancing.
Why would that knowledge be known to him? He knew what dancing was, but why would he want to do such a thing? He didn’t know how to dance, but the idea seemed to be appealing to him, greatly.

He would set up this electronic device, out of sight, and play it.
He’d dance with his angel, if she approved. It would be after they ate, of course.
He finished setting the table. Two goblets were placed side by side, which he filled with the apple cider.

Everything now fixed to his satisfaction, he went for Ki.
Teleporting to the bedroom, he found her sitting at the vanity. She was wearing a beautiful gown, colored two shades of purple. The colors of the gown deepening her dark brown hair, even darker.

She sat in the chair, brushing it. In long, even, strokes.
Each time, with the brush’s passing, coming out in long waves. Softly falling back in place.
He swallowed quietly, his heart beginning to beat faster. She became more beautiful with each time he’d see her.

He walked softly up behind her, and feeling playful, slipped the brush from her hand. She didn’t notice, until she brought her hand back to her.
She was surprised to find it gone, and turned around in her chair. To see if she dropped it, in some way.
She saw him, smiling at her.

She playfully scolded him, giggling. He playfully teased her back.
He began brushing her hair, with the brush. A little awkwardly at first, but it wasn’t long before he was brushing it like she had.

She loved it, closing her eyes with pleasure.
When he finished, he laid the brush down, on the vanity’s top. She reopened her eyes, telling him she enjoyed having him do it. He was rather happy, that she had.

He began wrapping his arms around her waist, telling her that their meal was ready. She smiled, and gave him a reply.
He picked her up, teleporting them downstairs. She gazed at the well lain table, commenting on how wonderful it looked.
He became very happy, at how well she liked it, giving her a smile.

He carried her over to the table, seating her at one of the places. He sat beside her, and they began eating.
They shared with one another. Giving something of his to her, and something of hers to him.
She didn’t eat very much, though, and he already knew why.

She completed her meal with an apple. After finishing, she commented on how delicious everything had been.
In which, he thanked her. He felt very proud of himself, for knowing he succeeded at pleasing her.
Before long, he finished himself, clearing away everything from the table. Now, it was time for the surprise.

He got up from his chair, helping her up as well.
He told her he had planned something special, for them. Dimming the lights, until only the lanterns were glowing. The music began playing, soon after.
In the dim light, he could the astonishment on her face. She knew what he was about to do.

She seemed a bit hesitant at first, and he began to wonder if he had made a mistake. However, her expression changed, and she was more at ease. The shock of it had temporarily overwhelmed her, but she liked it now.
Knowing it was safe to proceed, he guided her to the floor, near the fountain. It’s waterfall harmonizing with the music, creating an enchanting melody.

He began to fall under its spell, starting to dance with her.
He danced as if he had been dancing all his life, moving her expertly along with him. They stared into each other’s eyes, never once breaking their gazes.
He stopped suddenly, the music ending. Bending down his head to hers, began kissing her on her lips. Becoming breathtakingly passionate.

She gave a quiet moan of delight.
He lifted up the skirt of her dress, to her hips, and began to have sex with her. He teleported to their bedroom, shortly after. Removing the rest of her gown, from her body, laying it in a chair.
Lying them down in bed, continued having sex.

It seemed as if they simply could not satisfy themselves, last night.
It had not been until very early this morning, that they finally did. Falling asleep almost immediately, in the same positions they were now in.

She shifted slightly, but immediately settled back.
He kissed her cheek softly. Carefully brushing a lock of her hair back, away from her face. A few minutes later, her expression turned from peaceful, to pained anguish. She was having a dream, one that began to cause him alarm.

Wake up, my angel, he told her, getting a bit anxious.

He wasn’t liking at all what he was sensing, in her dream.
Which wasn’t really a dream, it was happening for real.

Please, wake up, my love, he said, again, pleading.

She didn’t, though.
Because she was too deep in sleep, to hear him.
**************************

Ki? Where are you? Are you here? I heard a small voice ask.

I recognized the voice, as belonging to Mew.

Mew, yes, I am here, I answered.

I saw her appear in front of me, emerging from a dense fog.

Ki, we’ve been so worried, she told me, Where are you?

I can’t tell you, I replied, and I wasn’t going to either.

Why won’t you? she asked, You need to come home.

No, I replied, irritably.

I wasn’t going anywhere, I wasn’t going to leave Mewtwo.

Why have you come? I asked her.

To bring you home, from where you are, she answered, From Mewtwo.

Why? I asked, a bit frightened.

Why was Mew trying to get me away from him?

People are saying a young girl went missing, after a Pokemon mysteriously disappeared, she explained, They say she was kidnapped by him.
I know that you are not where you’re supposed to be.

Where is Mewtwo? she demanded, suddenly, What has he done to you?

He has done nothing to me, I answered, defending him, Other than given me what I’ve always been hoping for, a companion.

Mew stared at me, with mixed horror and astonishment.

Ki, he is a dangerous Pokemon! she cried, I was foolish to send you, to be his friend.

He is not dangerous! I replied, angrily, You don’t know him like I do! We are more than just friends, we are lovers.

Mew’s eyes began widening in horror, and disbelief.
She, then, noticed my lack of clothing.

Ki, no, she whispered, horrified, What have you done? You’ve upset the balance between humans, and Pokemon.

I don’t care! I shouted, nearly in tears, I love him!

You will have to come home for certain, now, she told me, Maybe I can alter what has happened, between the two of you. Before the consequences become dire.

No! I screamed, You are not going to anything of the sort! I won’t let you!

I used a Psychic Blast, sending it towards Mew.
She barely managed to dodge it.

Ki, stop this! she yelled, You cannot have a relationship, in such a way, with a Pokemon!

Why does everyone keep saying that?! I asked, screaming in rage, It’s not wrong! We belong together, and no one is going to take me away from him! Not even you!

I launched another Psychic Blast at Mew.
This time hitting her, but not enough to hurt her. Just to drive her away, really was all. She looked back at me, her face expressing remorse.

I do not understand, why you choose to defend him, she told me, quietly, But I will not interfere with that choice. You have chosen your path, and I must respect that.

Just please go away, I answered, sobbing, Please leave me alone, leave us alone.

She casted one last sorrowful look at me, and then, disappeared.

My love, please wake up, a concerned voice begged me.

Opening my eyes, to the early morning light, I saw Mewtwo’s worried face. With a frightened look, in his deep amethyst eyes.
Upon seeing him, I buried my face in his fur, and began sobbing.

Shh, my angel, I heard him say, softly, I have you. Everything is all right, it’s over now.

He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.
He began rocking me gently back, and forth. Holding my head gingerly, with his hand, against his chest.
He rested his head delicately on mine.

She tried to take me away from you, I sobbed out.

I wouldn’t have let her, my angel, he whispered, quietly, I wouldn’t have let her take you.

I thought I knew her, I said, beginning to quiet down, She was someone I trusted, someone I thought would never hurt me. The way she did hurt me, in the worst way. In trying to make me come home, and try erasing away everything. That has happened, between us. I almost lost you. I almost lost you, my love.

I started crying again.
I could feel his fingers running gently through my hair.

Shh, he whispered, softly.

After a while, I finally stopped crying.
I felt very exhausted, and my head was hurting. Wearily closing my eyes, I nestled in his fur. Sighing softly, began drifting off to sleep.
**************************

She had finally cried herself to sleep.
He carefully laid back down on the bed with her. Letting her sleep lying on his front. He gently began caressing her cheek. She had gone through a terrible ordeal, and it made him angry, because the trouble had been caused by Mew.

He knew, without her having to explain it, what her relationship had been with Mew. Mew had raised her as infant, not the Gym Leader.
Mewtwo was not angry at Ki, for withholding that information. She didn’t want to upset him, knowing how he felt towards it.
She didn’t want their relationship damaged, because of it.

There had been a strong bond between her, and Mew.
A bond of love, and trust. But, that trust had been shattered, not too long ago.
Mew had tried to take her, away from him. Had wanted to erase the fact their relationship ever existed.

It deeply angered him.
Why, as she pointed out, did everyone want them torn apart? Their relationship was different, yes, but why can’t anyone accept it as that way?
He expected such from humans, but now it was from Pokemon. It had only been one, but he suspected others might object, as well.

They were siding with the humans.
Agreeing to everything they say, or do. It disgusted him, the way the Pokemon worshipped the humans. They would do anything for them. Even die for them, and all for what? So they could be treated like the very dirt of the earth?
Even with being treated as such, they still remained loyal to them. Ready to take what the humans dished out for them next.

The mere thought sickened him.
Those Pokemon were nothing but slaves. It was time for him to show the world, of both humans and Pokemon, how it should be. With Pokemon to be in complete control, and make the humans their slaves.

Also, to get revenge on them. In trying to separate him from the one he loved, his beautiful angel.
Plus, for all the times they had hurt her.

He gazed at her sleeping face. His heart, and soul overflowing with his love for her. He’d do it all for her, with the promise of finally being left in peace. To stay together, for far longer than eternity.

He gave her a soft, gentle, kiss on her lips.
Gingerly holding her closer against him, he rested his head delicately on hers. Then, began thinking.


End Part Eight.

Whew! Looong part, wasn’t it?
Stick around for Part Nine. That’s when we begin the movie, with a whole new twist.

Keep the feedback coming, please!!!!
