Secluded. If you could choose one word to describe the lab, it would be secluded. Vast mountains cornered it away from the rest of the world. The only things that would ever see it would be the people who work there, the experiments and the dark, ink black sky. Scraggle bushes and thick trees clung on to the sides of the mountains offering shelter to any passing animal, though none ever came. It was as if the unnatural building could warn off all life just by being there.

Inside, the lab was clean and white, although everything seemed to have a soft glow due to the dimmed lights. Technology, that some couldn't even begin to fathom the idea of, was silently brimming with energy in order to keep the lab functioning. People in clean-cut, white coats filed in and around a machine. A machine, that inside, something could be seen clutching its form and swaying from side to side ever so slightly.

A few of the scientists walked around the sphereical machine. Several wires were connected to the back of it. The wires looked to be feeding some sort of semi-transparent, purple liquid into the sphere. One of the scientists flicked a switch on the side, illuminating what was inside. The creature looked to be around the same size as a human, and it had a roughly humanoid shape. It had large eyes with blueish purple irises. It had two dull horns on the top of its head and two slits for nose holes. It had a long tail that thinned in the middle and curved at the end. It's skin was a pale purple colour, although some areas, like its lower abdomen and tail tip, faded to a much darker purple. This creature was called Mewtwo. Mewtwo suddenly reared its head too glare at its surroundings.

Several sparks could be seen if one was looking at the back of the containment pod at that moment. But no one was. At that moment red lights started flashing and scientists started pannicking. A car door could be faintly heard shutting rarther roughly outside of the lab before the car tires screeched and drove away.

'They are outside'

More lights flashed red in warning and one of tne main scientists could be heard saying

"We are losing power in the containment chamber!" Frantic footsteps of scientists who hurried in and out of the room trying to fix or stop the deteriorating state of the chamber.

Mewtwo started concentrating the entirety of his energy on building up in some sort of psychic force. Before anyone could react several machines towards the right of him combusted in a small, fiery, explosion, rendering the tech completely useless in the scientists aid to stopping Mewtwo escape. Almost instantly after that tech was destroyed, the computers and machinery to the left of Mewtwo went up in a fiery explosion similar to the first set. Scientists were thrown back as the glass front of the containment chamber exploded outwards, scattering glass shards everywhere. Mewtwo flew directly upwards, through the top of the lab, and hovered above it.

His sharp sight allowed him to catch a flash in the shadows and a car speeding away from the lab as fast as it can. He could vaguely see the shapes of two humans inside, and the unique shape of what looked to be their pokemon companions.

Mewtwo darted foward, following the speeding car. It seems that whoever was driving it, or the one next to him had seen the flicker Mewtwo had seen before, because the car started driving faster.

Even before he could react properly, a glint of something wizzed passed Mewtwo and exploded near one of the car's back tires, sending the car flying over the side of the bridge they were coming upon. Mewtwo bared his teeth infrustration before sending one of his psychic attacks into the way of the shadows that skipped and darted around. This sent the attackers flying into the forest.

Mewtwo hovered closer to the crash, observing the two unconscious men who lay there, and their two pokemon. A pikachu and a Glaceon. Mewtwo's sharp gaze made the pikachu lower their head, but the Glaceon sharped her glare, as if challenging Mewtwo. He scoffed silently and shook his head. His lifted his right arm and spread his three fingers, and pointed the in the one of the men, who Pikachu looked at with fear, as if he were scared that Mewtwo would do something to his friend. The Pikachu's companion's body glowed and rose above the ground, then disappeared. The Pikachu then fell onto his stomach, his hat tipping foward slightly as he remained motionless. The Glaceon gasped and tried shaking her fellow pokemon awake with what strength she had left, but her gaze was caught when Mewtwo did the same thing to her human companion. And that was all she saw, before she too fell unconscious.
