Mewtwos

It was just another day at Pokemon Tech. Rumor had it, however, that very, very special pokemon were going to be shown at the assembly that day.

You see, some students had heard arguments about allowing the pokemon in school. They didn't know what pokemon it could be, but after all, the teachers had brought a gyarados into school. What could be worse then that?

Gyarados were the most feared pokemon in the academy, the city and probably the world. Almost every student would wake up screaming at least once a year from a dream where somehow or other (they fell of the back of a flying pokemon, they got teleported to the wrong place) they ended up in the middle of the ocean and one or more gyarados appeared. Or maybe they were taking a walk and they too close to a pond. During the time when they had to swim in a pool for phys. ed. at least half of the students had refused point-blank.

So everyone was talking about what in the world the pokemon could be. A few of the least enthusiastic said that it was probably just a pokemon that they hadn't been able to find at a low level so it was really strong. Others claimed it was all a fake. Some of the saner ones commented that no one knew if it was really stronger then that gyarados, after all, since no one had been following the teachers around to see if they were arguing about safety then.

Still, for once the assembly hall was quiet as they filtered in and took their seats. About one-half wanted the very back row -they wanted to be as far away as possible from this creature that was stronger then gyarados- and another one-third fought for the very first row. The remainder just took a random seat, though most wondered if they really should be trying to stay as far away as possible.

The professor in charge noticed the subdued audience and rightly guessed they had some idea of the power of the pokemon that he had today.

"Today we have a very rare and yet very strong pokemon."

The students began to murmur. How could a pokemon be both strong and rare? Was is a fire or rock or ground type, so it was strong but the gyarados kept it in check?

"Giovanni did more then just try to figure out a way around pokemon evolution. He also tried to clone the ultimate pokemon. Some of you may know about the legendary pokemon, mew. Well, it did in fact exist at some point in time. Giovanni got his hands on the DNA and decided to clone a pokemon." The professor's voice betrayed some of his anger, but he managed to keep most of it out of his voice. With a deep breath, he continued. "He created a pokemon, called Mewtwo. This vicious, evil pokemon promptly destroyed its own creators. Giovanni, rather then killing the beast, tricked it into helping him. Reports from that time talk of a strange pokemon, covered in armor, which would fight at the Earth Gym. Little did we realize what it truly was.

"Of course, the cruel nature of the monster soon grew dissatisfied by even the violent battles and deaths it took part in at the gym. It escaped and apparently the clone was unstable, because it has never shown itself again and so must be dead.

The crowd was shocked into silence.

"Rather then learn from his mistake, Giovanni set about creating new mewtwos. The first one's survival had shown his scientists how to make them correctly, and he started about five of them growing in the rocket labs.

"But before these mistakes could be 'born', Giovanni's other experiments got lose, the well-known evolution ones, decimating the area. Giovanni presumed the clones dead, and was unable to look for their remains because he was being investigated.

"Sadly, Giovanni, not trusting his scientists to work correctly, had made sure that the care of the clones was placed entirely in the hands of the super computers. The lab was underground and by some mischance was uninjured by the destruction. The clones finished developing and got loose.
