Part I Ash and Misty were taking a walk down a path, in to a forest where they could talk and discuss some of what’s been happening over the past twelve years. So much has happened in their lives, that they were talking in the forest for nearly two hours! “I’ve been doing a lot in my life over the past twelve years.” Said Misty. “I’ve been running my gym, going places out side and inside Kanto, but mostly just running my gym.” “What kind of Pokemon have you caught?” Said Ash. “Here I’ll show you! Come on out every body!” Misty said, as she threw five Poke’balls and Lureballs. Out came a Seadra, Corsola, Mantine, Staryu, and Psyduck. “You still have that silly Psyduck? I guess your really attached to it.” “Yeah,” She said as she hugged it. “No matter how dimwitted it may act, I still love it!” “Psy?” It said as it was holding its head while turned sideways, staring into outer space, thinking who knows what. “What other Pokemon have you caught. I know you still have Pikachu, but what others?” Misty said excited. “Come on out guys!!” Jolteon, Manectric, Electibuzz, and Magneton came out. Pikachu jumped at the end of the line. “Wow, they are all very cute. Even, Electibuzz doesn’t look scary.” Misty said with a smile on her face. Electibuzz got kind of angry at this comment, but just shook it off. While Ash and Misty continued to talk some more, both of their Pokemon went of to play with each other. After talking a bit, Ash and Misty looked at their Pokemon playing. “Isn’t this great…our Pokemon playing in peace, with out a care in the world.” Ash said, acting like he was in a little bit of a trance. “It kind makes you reflect on your life.” Misty said. “What do you mean?” Ash asked curiously while looking back a Misty. “I mean, our Pokemon don’t have a care in the world. It kind of makes you want to take a glance at the good times of your life. The times when you didn’t have a care in the world…when life was perfect…or close to it.” She said while looking into Ash’s eyes. “Yeah, I know what you mean. Remember the good old days. The days when we were kids, traveling all over the place. You don’t really realize how good it was…until it’s over.” Now he was looking deeper into her eyes. “But, now…we are starting a new journey…and I hope we can cherish it, in our memories forever, even if we come across many hardships.” They stared at each other until…there was a huge explosion!! It was about a hundred feet away from them!! They ran over to see what it was, and when they ran over there they were shocked at what they saw! There wasn’t anybody hurt. There wasn’t even a person over there, but a Pokemon!! It was a strange Pokemon. One they have never seen before. It was floating in the air, with a strange aurora surrounding it. It looked like a cat, but it was far from that. “So…I guess you noticed the explosion, you weaklings.” The strange Pokemon said. * “It talks!!” * Both Ash and Misty thought. “I am Mewtwo, and I am the most Powerful Pokemon on the face of the planet! No Pokemon can step up to my power! So you have been warned! If you ever meddle with the Great and Powerful Giovanni’s plans, you will have to face me! And, you can never defeat me!!” It said with force in its voice. “What does Giovanni want?!” Ash asked with anger in his voice. “He wants one thing and one thing only! He wants you defeated! You say you are the most powerful trainer in the world, but he is far beyond your class!! At first, he was lead into capturing your girlfriend, by those three buffoons who wanted to get back at you, but then he realized what a powerful trainer you are. But, still he is far more superior to you. And, if you ever meddle with his plans, you will see how weak you are!! So…do you have the guts, as a trainer, to face him? Or, are you a weak little, want to be trainer?!” “Grrrrrrrrr…” Ash dispelled, as he was in a deep, distraught, train of thought. “Don’t listen to it Ash” Misty tried to say assuring, “you know you are a far better trainer than Giovanni!” “Come on, Ash. You know you are a weak Trainer.” Ash suddenly burst out saying, “Mewtwo! You don’t know what you’re talking about! You and Giovanni don’t know the first thing about being a trainer!! Being a powerful trainer requires a heart! A pure heart! It requires know right from wrong! And, most of all,” Ash said calming down a bit, “It requires a strong bond with your Pokemon. A good trainer doesn’t use Pokemon for war tools, like Giovanni does! A good trainer has a strong bond with their Pokemon…a bond so strong that it will never break through the heat of battle. A bond so strong that you will know when you’re Pokemon is in pain…and know when to pull it out of battle…and most important…a bond so strong, that you will be friends now…and for the rest of your life. That’s what being a trainer is all about.” Mewtwo was looking a little confuse and distraught, by Ash’s long speech, but after a few moments it shook it off. “You are a foolish trainer. You will fall at the mercy of Giovanni. You will perish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” It yelled as it charged up a Shadow Ball in its hand, and then shot it at Ash and Misty!!! “Misty! Watch out!!!!” Ash yelled as he grabbed her, and jumped out of the way of the ball of energy!!!! Thankfully they made it out of the way, and when the smoke of the dust of the earth cleared up, the saw that Mewtwo was gone! “Misty! Are you alright?!” Ash said very worried. “Yes. I’m just fine.” She said with a reassuring smile on her face. “Thank you…you saved my life.” She said as she gave Ash a little peck on the cheek. Ash returned the kiss with a smile on his face, and then he went back to a serious tone. He then looked up at the sky, where Mewtwo was. “Misty…I think we are in for a little more then we expected. That Mewtwo is a powerful Pokemon.” “Yes, he is the most powerful creature I’ve ever seen in my life. Just looking at him, sent shivers down my spine.” She said with a perturbed tone in her voice. “Do you think we can stop him?” She said while looking at Ash hopefully. “Misty,” Ash said with a smile but determined face, “If we believe in our Pokemon and each other, we can do anything!” He said, making a fist in the air, with confidence. “You’re right Ash. You, Our Pokemon, and I will defeat Mewtwo and Giovanni!” She said getting even more confident. “C’mon. It’s getting late. We should head back to the house. My mom won’t like it if we get in late. “ He said with a smile on her face. “Sure.” She said with a smile on her face. They walked back to the house hand in hand, with lots of things on their mind. Mewtwo, Giovanni, and how they are going to prevail in saving Locknile’s family. But, especially Mewtwo, knowing how powerful of a creature it was. It seemed unstoppable! But, they tried to shake it off their minds, and enjoy the rest of the time they had off, before they had to set out on their grueling journey, knowing that their would be hardships, that they would have to encounter. This is the start of the journey of their lives! This is the end of Part I. What do you think they will encounter on their Journey? Review and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading!
