Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Discovery (I)

Mewtwo's POV

Yellow, she was nice trainer. Really, I liked her even when she was sloppy at times. I wasn't her Pokemon, she believed. She considered me a friend even though I looked scary. But the scariest thing was a mirror, whenever I saw it, I freaked out.

She kept me away from her family members. Her uncle was one of the people who had knowledge of my existence. His name was Wilton who Yellow called Uncle Will.

In the morning, he walked seven kilometer East to a river to catch water Pokemon, for reasons. And that happened daily, surprisingly he never asked for my help.

I lived in a secret room in Uncle Will's house, the room was meant to be a store room to keep bottles of golden liquid he called Booze. I was pretty sure whatever it was, it wasn't good as Uncle Will did filthy things after drinking it.

'I know where I have to go', I thought. I flew a few feet above Will's house. Looking at the house, I smiled.

I felt the cold wind as I launched upwards. In a few seconds, I had a nice view of the area. My eyes scrolled to a huge building in South and I flew in it's direction.

I landed with a thud in front of the building. Before it was a fence made of steel. A sign board read - Power Plant.

'What kind of plant is that ?', I asked to myself, walking further. Then I shouted, 'Zapdos !?'.

I was expecting a response but no luck. The fence had a sign board too that read - Danger. It also had a human skull on it.

The fence was probably electric, and I had a sudden random thought. It has a human skull on it. What if a Pokemon touches it ?

Expecting it wouldn't affect me, I touched the fence. And it worked, no, it didn't work. I mean, my plan worked and the fence didn't.

Suddenly, a shriek was heard and Zapdos appeared in the light blue sky. He slowly landed in front of me.

'What are you doing here ?', asked he. 'I thought some kid caught you'.

'I let him catch me', I said. 'And I might need your help'.

'My help ? Why would you need my help ? I thought you were the most powerful Pokemon of all time', said Zapdos, flapping his wings.

'No wait', I said. 'You are here to protect this region right ?'.

'I am', said Zapdos, smirking. 'What ? Is your parent causing some harm to it ?'.

I took a deep breathe. 'There is going to be a battle between worlds. I just need your help for that. Please'.

'Too much for a legendary. I can't'.

'I can't find others', I said. 'You were the nearest and the easiest legendary bird to find'.

'So you need only one of us ? Ask Moltres, he would help you, surely. You can find him in Mount Ember, that's in Sevii Islands'.

'Sevii Islands ? That's quite far from here', I said.

'That's the real challenge', said Zapdos, flapping his wings and flying upwards. 'Good luck'.

'Mount Ember, huh ?', I asked myself. 'Come on Orchid, you can do this'.

I dashed South. Hopefully my brain knew where Sevii Islands were because I was not in a mood to go back.

I flew across cities and towns and finally over the Kanto Sea, making my way through the clouds towards the Pacific Ocean.
