It was around 9:00 PM and Icy wanted to get some shuteye
early. It had been an eventful day. He sat down and fell asleep.
At that same moment on a distant island, scientists were
studying a rather large pokémon. “He’s way too powerful, stop the
experiment. It’s not going to hold any longer, we can’t risk it again!”
The containment field generators were overloading and sparks began flying from
them. From a hanging cage, a small cat-like pokémon watched with fear.
“Turn it off before it’s too late.” He didn’t get to
finish his sentence before the generator exploded, killing two scientists near
it. The containment fields were offline and the giant pokémon roared.
“Ohhhhhhh, crap.” the other scientist moaned as he saw a flickering image of
the giant pokémon. He got on the radio. “It’s escaped! Repeat! Mewtwo has
esc.” Something kept him from finishing the distress call. Mewtwo glowed and
the scientist was thrown across the room, knocked out. Mewtwo caught sight of
the caged pokémon, Mew. It glowed again, this time a suit of armor flew at him,
covering its entire body. It shined each time the lights attempted to re-light.
From the suit, Mewtwo produced a large laser blaster. Not to Mewtwo’s knowing,
a scientist, hurt from the initial blast, slowly moved over to one the computers
still intact.
“It’s your fault that I was created for their pleasure in
the first place. I will begin my revenge with destroying you!” Mewtwo growls
in Mew’s direction. Mew shivered with fear. Mewtwo aimed the laser at Mew and
prepared to fire. Mew began to weep. The scientist realized what was about to
happen and quickly typed in commands on the computer to teleport Mew to a safe
location. Mewtwo fired the laser, but Mew was teleported to a top-secret pokécenter
installation. The blast explosion from the laser was enough to spark a fire near
the computer the scientist was working at. It blew out, fatally injuring him.
Mewtwo grunted with displeasure, flipped a switch on his armor suit, and flew
straight through the roof. On his ascent, he dropped three blast-balls into the
lab. After only ten seconds, that entire complex exploded sending debris miles
into the ocean. Satisfied with the destruction he had caused, Mewtwo flew off
into the distance.
At that moment, Icy sensed a disturbance in the ether.
Something big had happened. Somehow, he knew. Images began to form in his mind.
He saw the destroyed lab. Then, to his fear, he saw Mewtwo. “Oh my Goddish!”
he screamed. It was only subconsciously. No one else heard him. Mewtwo could
sense Icy’s awareness now. It spoke with him.
“You know who I am, just as I do you.” Mewtwo said.
“What do you mean?” Icy replied.
“Don’t play games with me. You aren’t a pokémon,
rather a human. A psychic human. One with a gift. Much like mine.”
“I don’t understand. What have you done? I can see the
destruction.”
“They were the evil ones. They thought they could just
create a being and experiment on it for their own benefit. They underestimated
what they were getting in to.”
“But why have you done this. What do you what from us? From
me?”
“As I said. You have a gift. You are a talented psychic
human. I can’t allow someone like you to misinterpret my goal. I will destroy
the SS Anne and everyone on it. They must not be allowed to live.”
“They haven’t done you any harm. Why do you want to hurt
us and pokémon?”
“They aren’t innocent. They capture pokémon, train them
to battle for them. And for what? So they can go around sporting their triumphs!
And the fact that these pokémon willingly give themselves up to them.”
“But most trainers are kind to their pokémon. You can’t
destroy us all. Think about what you are doing.”
“There is no turning back. Mankind was selfish enough to
create me. Now, they must pay for meddling with forces even they cannot
control.”
“No! Wait! You can’t do this! Listen to me…”
“I’ve heard enough of you already. I’m going to end
this now!”
Icy could see Mewtwo arm his laser cannon. The weapon was
powerful enough to level a large building with one shot. He hovered over the
ship, laser trained on its target. Icy saw the beam fire. It was the last of the
images. But it was replaced with a voice.
#So. I am not alone.#
“Who are you? Where are you?”
#Where I am, does not matter. I will be above the bridge at
10 tomorrow morning. As for who I am…I am an alteration. Like you, but more
like Mewtwo.#
“…”
#Mew could stop Mewtwo. However, this ship’s Mew seems to
have gotten a bit mad, and might not spare the passengers. Although I do not
doubt that everyone on this ship will pitch in to help stop them, the actual
battle may be up to us, at least at first. Don’t answer me now; just sleep on
it.#
And then the presence was gone.
It was still visible and audible in his mind when he woke up
that morning. Insanellama was trying to wake him. “Icy! Hello! Wake up! Time
for breakfast.” Icy finally awoke and stretched his little paws out as far as
they could go. He related the dream he had last night to Insane, but neither
could think of who the other voice was. He would have to wait until 10AM to find
out. But if the visions of Mewtwo were true, the SS Anne was running out of
time.
