Experimental Love

Chapter 2

Newtwo flew in the direction she and her brother agreed to meet.
As she approached, she spotted Mewtwo leaning against a tree alone. With the unconscious cloned creature floating behind her, she set herself down gently, alerting Mewtwo of her presence. He swivelled his head to face her, noting the clone with his sister.
"Did you rescue all the Pokemon?" Newtwo asked, leaving Mewtwo with no time to ask questions. Of course, she was worried about the Pokemon she had to leave behind.
Mewtwo nodded. "I searched the building twice, checked the Pokemon for trackers and sent them on their way. Care to explain?" He asked, motioning toward the clone behind her. Newtwo brought the clone out to show her brother, who didn't seem as shocked as she did.
"This attacked me while I was searching for captured Pokemon. It fits the description of the beast who's been capturing the Pokemon. Search her for trackers, since you've had more experience with this."
With that, she gently placed the Mewtwo down in front of them. Her brother sighed. "Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but it'll have to do."
With that, he set to work. His eyes started glowing a light blue, as another blue aura surrounded the clone. After a few minutes, the blue aura appeared brighter in two places: one on her shoulder, another placed gently on her head. Mewtwo sighed angrily.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a chip implanted in her left shoulder, and another in her head. It looks like it's been there for several years too. The muscle tissue has it lodged in place. " He growled.
"Can you remove it?" Newtwo asked, to which her brother shook his head.
She thought for a moment. "Is there anything we can do? Maybe ask for help?"
Mewtwo looked up to her. "I do know someone, but we'll most likely put them in danger."
Looking down at the clone laying at her feet, she made up her mind. "We have to try. Take me to them."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Mewtwo asked his sister, to which she nodded. "I want to help her. She's a Pokemon, no different to us." Mewtwo shrugged. "If you insist."
Knocking on the door, they waited. It was still dark, but from inside they could hear shuffling coming from inside.
The door creaked open, as a female human's eye peeked out, widening at the sight of the two unusual Pokemon at her doorstep. Mewtwo bowed slightly. "I'm sorry for bothering you this late, Miss Joy, but I need some assistance." He apologised. The human pulled the door open wider slightly. "Do I know you from somewhere?" She asked timidly, before shaking her head. "Nevermind, what is the trouble?" Nurse Joy would be lying if she said she didn't feel intimidated by these strange and unknown Pokemon standing before her.
Newtwo stepped forward. "We need help removing tracking chips from this Pokemon." She stated, gesturing to the still unconscious clone floating behind them. Nurse Joy glanced over to the clone, her brows furrowing in worry. Gesturing inside, she welcomed the Pokemon on her doorstep into her home.

Newtwo lay the clone on the table, setting her down for the nurse to inspect. Nurse Joy did so, all the while asking Mewtwo questions. Newtwo zoned out from their conversation, keeping her eyes trained on the clone. Why did she want to help this Pokemon? It tried to kill her, and most likely harmed many others.
Yet, something drew her to the new Mewtwo.
"Newtwo?"
Newtwo snapped out of her thoughts. "Yes?"
"Were you even listening?" Mewtwo asked, an unimpressed glare on his face. Newtwo shook her head. "Sorry. I was...thinking."
Nurse Joy eyes darted nervously between the two Pokemon. "As we were saying, I can remove the tracker and chip, but it may take a couple of hours, and surgery will need to be taken. Some help would be appreciated, if either are you are ok with a little bit of blood?" She asked. Mewtwo stepped forward. "I'll help you."
"Thank you. Now let's get prepared. I'll go grab my kit." With that, Nurse Joy left the room. Newtwo turned toward her brother. "How did you meet this Nurse Joy?" Her brother turned to her, slightly uncomfortable by the question. "I met her five years ago, when I'd first met Ash." Was all he muttered, refusing to speak more on the matter.
After a few minutes, Nurse Joy returned, and ushered Newtwo into the living room to wait.
As she waited, the female Pokemon began pacing, her mind rethinking the events of earlier that night, to fretting about the clone in the next room. Would she be ok?
She paused, realising what she was doing. Why was she worried? She'd just met her. And yet...she just couldn't stop worrying about her safety and health.
Newtwo groaned, holding her head in her hands in annoyance. What was wrong with her today?!

"She'll be ok, but she'll need to be checked on every few days. Make sure her stitches aren't removed till the scars are healed, and in a few weeks I'll take them out. Will you be back?" Nurse Joy asked, as she turned to the Pokemon who were getting ready to leave. Mewtwo paused in his task, sighing. "I'm...afraid not." He responded, turning to the human. "I'm sorry about this, Joy." With that, he held his hand, a bright glow forming.
Nurse Joy stood still, entranced by the glow. Making sure she sat down on the couch, Mewtwo removed the glow, sending Nurse Joy into sleep. His sister raised a brow. "What did you do?"
Mewtwo stood up, looking down at the human sadly. "I removed her memories. It was the only way to keep her safe." He grumbled. "Come, we need to leave. I've destroyed the chips but the humans probably had enough time to track our location." With that, he floated towards the door, leaving Newtwo to carry the clone on her own.
Newtwo faced the human. She knew that there had to be a history between the two, she just didn't know what it was. She also assumed that her brother had erased her memories, according to her reaction when she first saw them.
Without word, Newtwo followed her brother, heading back toward their hide out.

A/N: A few of these are inaccurate, by the way. I doubt very much Mewtwo or Newtwo could do the "checking for chips" thing.
