--What in the hell happened you ask? Although as I said, I did not know then, I know now, and therefore will tell you, to satisfy your curious mind. You see, when my blast had bored into the cliffside it had only gone 15 feet and then hit something. What it hit was metal. Yes, metal. But not just any metal. It was that blackish metal I told you about. And that would explain why it stopped. But that doesn't explain the explosion, you say? No, it does not, but I will get to that. You see, this metal was covering some sort of energy field or energy conduit. I think it was the latter, for the intense explosion that occurred must have been due to a very large amount of power. Now, you see, what had happened is this. My blast had hit the metal and heated it enormously. The metal, absorbing my direct hit, got hot; very hot. And that must have heated the energy conduit that it was covering, and, well, the energy conduit was unable to handle the extra heat and power, so it gave and caused an overload explosion. Now that explains what happened. But what about you, you ask. Well I will tell you. I had told you that I had started to move forward to see why my blast had stopped only 15 feet into the cliff. And told you it all happened in a matter of seconds. Well, needless to say, I was unprepared for such a thing. I did not even think of such a thing happening. Not up here on a cliff. Well, as I moved forward, I got closer to the hole I had made with my blast. I hadn't even gotten more then a step when the explosion occurred, and what happened to anything in physics? Any matter... energy… what does it do? Well, it all takes the path of least resistance. And that's exactly what it did. The energy explosion ripped through the hole I had made, cracking the cliff, making the hole larger and wider, and having no time to react at all, the blast hit me full force, dead on. As I said, all I remembered was a flash of bright light and intense heat, a surge of intense pain through my body and the feeling of falling and then everything went dark. Well, this is what happened as far as I was able to determine later on. When the blast hit me full on, I felt the heat of the blast and intense pain surge through my body, and then felt the feeling of falling. I felt this because I was falling. You see, the blast threw me off the ledge and sent plummeting into the earth below. I told you everything went dark after the blast and that is why I can only tell you what I assume happened. I fell, unconscious, in a downward arc to the ground below. And you might remember how high I told you this ledge was before from the ground. But in case you don't, I will tell you again. It was around 250 feet from the ground. So I fell... and fell. You'll also remember that not just so long ago I mentioned I had sometimes come to this ledge and looked down below at the sights, and if you do, you'll remember I said there was a forest, a river, and paths humans had made. Well, I am glad that that forest was there. I do not know how much more serious my injuries would have been had those trees not been there to break my fall slightly. I say slightly, because even though those trees must have broken my fall, and I later found proof of this as some of the trees had been knocked down, I still hit hard; hard enough to shatter my left shoulder when I hit. Had I not continued and hit against the rocks on the edge of the river that flowed through here, I might not have broken any more bones. But I did hit the large rocks, and shattered my left arm all the way down to my hand, as it seems my left side took most of the impact. But I did not feel any of this, at least, not right away. As I said. I was unconscious. For how long I lay there, I do not know...

--"Mewtwo... Mewtwo... I am here... come to me... I am Here Mewtwo... I'm waiting for you..."

"It's gotta be around here! It came down somewhere near here!!" "What happened?" "I don't know, but lets hope it's OK!" "Are you sure it was a Pokémon?" "I'm not sure what it was... but we have to find it... it could be injured!"

-People... Humans... They're close.…-

"Pi! PIKA Pi!! Pika-Chu!" "Pikachu's found it! Over here! Over here, guys!"

-These voices... familiar....

"Oh my God! What is it?" "I don't know Misty, but it's looks hurt pretty bad.."

-That name... familiar...-

"Oh, the poor thing! Look at it, it's bleeding pretty bad. We have to help it" "We don't even know what it is, I haven't ever seen a Pokémon like this."

"Maybe the PokéDex can tell us what kind of Pokémon it is"

{No Data! Pokémon unknown! Listing as new species.}

-A computer... voice... it's trying to… list me... I… cannot let it... must... prevent it…-

{Error... information lost. Database error. Unable to list,

unable to record. No Information available.}

"What's wrong with the PokéDex. Ash?" "I have no idea, it just started going crazy!"

"Well it obviously has no information on this Pokémon, so just put it away"

"Yeah... I guess your right Brock. I'll have to tell Prof. Oak about it, and hope they can fix it at the next Pokémon Center."

-I know this human...-

"Pika Pi? Pika Pi?"

-This Pikachu... it's asking me if I'm OK... Why?-

"PIKACHU! Don't get to close to it! it's hurt, and who knows how bad."

"Pi..ka..chu..."

"What are we going to do guys? We have to help it."

"But we can't just leave it here like this. And we don't have anything to help it with, and this looks bad. I don't think anything we can do will be enough; we have to get it to Nurse Joy at the PokéCenter."

"Yeah, we can take it to the PokéCenter we passed a while back."

"I know what to do"

-That sound... I know that sound... There is no mistaking it...-

"Ash? Ahh, I see?"

-That sound is a Pokéball... How dare you try to capture me, HUMAN!! HOW DARE YOU!!-

"ASH!!! This isn't the time to be collecting new Pokémon!!"

"I know Misty, but if I capture it in a Pokéball, we can take it to the Pokecenter."

"Oh, I guess so." "It's not like there's a lot of other choices Misty. Go ahead, Ash!"

-I don't think so, human...-

"Pokéball! GO!"

"Mewtwo... open your eyes... get up!"

"PIKA PI?"

"Ah!!! did you see that? It caught the Pokéball in it's hand"

"Its eyes. Its eyes are opened."

--I slowly stood up, feeling pain as I did. My eyes glared at the Pokéball I held in my hand. It shook, trying to resist me, trying to open up and contain me. I simply held it in my grip. I glared at the boy. HIM! It was him, that boy and his Pikachu. My eyes darted to the Pikachu, yes, that Pikachu, and then to the red headed girl. Yes… I remember her as well. And then to the other boy, yes, him as well. Of all the possibilities in the world. Of all the people it could have been, why these three?

~You cannot capture me, Human!~ I looked at them as they looked back at me, their faces filled with fear and confusion. I heard them speak, heard them talk about how they heard my voice in their head. "It's, it's voice is in my head," the girl said. "It's using some kind of psychic powers," the taller boy said. That other boy just stared at me as I held his Pokéball in my hand.

I looked at the ball again, it had stopped wobbling, giving up on trying to capture me. Now I felt it trying to pull away, to go back to the boy. I did not let it go. I stared at it, looking at the red and white ball, and then I closed my hand on it, crushing it. It crushed easily under my strength and fizzled out as it did, a blue spark sizzling around it. I tossed it to the boy's feet.

"AH! Hey! My Pokéball!" The boy complained.

~You cannot capture me... it is futile to try...~ My eyes glared at the boy… how DARE he try and capture me. I felt an incredible pain in my left shoulder and arm. I knew it was broken. My left arm hung at my side limp, and I felt an incredible searing pain traveling up my whole arm and through my shoulder. I could bare it, no problem. I would not show the pain.

The boy only looked back at me, shocked and puzzled. Finally he spoke

"We were only trying to help you...."

Having known this boy, I might have been inclined to believe he was indeed only trying to help me, but I detested anyone who tried to capture me!

~Your help is unneeded... I am fine.~

"No you're not... your arm looks like it may be broken," the taller boy said.

~It is.... and I will be fine...~

That boy, the boy who I knew all too well looked to the girl and said something I was surprised to hear. "Misty, doesn't this seem a little familiar? Like, like something like this has happened before?"

The girl nodded. "Yes, it does, his voice in my head, it's so… familiar."

"What about you, Brock?" The taller boy nodded. "Yeah, it does."

"Pikachu? How about you? This seem familiar to you?" "Pika PI!" the Pikachu nodded its head.

"Have we… met before?" The boy with the Pikachu asked, his Pikachu now on his shoulder looking at me.

I grinned a sly grin. ~Yes, we have, and I don't think it will be the last time either, Ash Ketchum...~ I took off to the sky, wincing as I did. I felt pain all over, and something in my back didn't feel right.

"HEY WAIT! DON"T GO!! WHAT HAPPENED??" I heard the boy yell, but I was already heading away fast and that was the last thing I heard him say.

I took off, heading higher into the sky. It was daylight outside, morning, the sun was up, humans were out and about, and I felt the pain in my body. It was time to go home...
