'Character Thoughts'
Chapter 3
As Mewtwo walked, he continued to think. A new web of thought was spun in his head. He was brought back to reality by a loud explosion from the far side of the island. It was too far away to be heard from the lab. Smoke was slowly rising up into the air. Mewtwo heard shouting coming from the direction of the explosion, but he was unable to make out the words. As Mewtwo got closer the shouting became much easier to understand.
"Squirtle, Lapras. Put those fires out with Water Gun." A man shouted. "Everyone else, help get those wounded Pokemon and poke balls off the boat." The forest around Mewtwo was still very thick, but Mewtwo knew that the forest cleared out a short distance from his location to reveal what was left of an old dock. It was used by fisherman before the lab was built. He had been brought out there a few times for his training. Just then, a larger much more destructive blast came from the old dock. This time, Telina, Putanna, and Sarah all heard it as well.
"We have to stop this fire, if it gets into the primary fuel tank, it will take out a chunk of this dock." a woman shouted. Mewtwo finally came into view of the dock. What he saw was strange to him. Pokemon and Humans working together as equals. There were 2 fully grown men and a woman each using buckets to try and put out the fire on the boat. It looked like a basic research vessel. 3 Squirtle and 2 Lapras were helping them. Then there were 2 Machamp, a Meowth, and several Blissy carrying cases off of the boat. Each case had a glass cover on one side. From what Mewtwo could tell, it looked like the poke balls. The Machamp were carrying what few wounded pokemon there were off of the boat which was now a blazing inferno.
"Its no good, the fire is still growing." the second man shouted.
"We have no choice, we have to sink the boat." The first one responded. "Machamp, put a hole in the side of boat now."
Both Machamps just looked at the man confused. "If we don't stop this fire now, we lose everything!" the man shouted. Both Machamps must have understood him because they both charged at the boat. They dove into the water and swam to port side. The pair of Machamps then used Mega Punch to put a fair sized hole in the boat. The boated quickly began to fill with water. It sunk down so that the water began to flow over the railing of the boat before it hit the bottom of the shallow dock. While the water did put out most of the fire, the top of the cabin above the water level was still on fire. However, thanks to the Squirtle and Lapras, it was quickly put out.
"What happened?" the Meowth asked.
"The burner I was using malfunctioned." The woman said. "If I had known that we had the spare gas cans in the lab, I wouldn't have turned the burner on." The woman was about 50 years old judging from her looks. She had one very badly burned arm and half a lab coat. Underneath that she a pair of blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and red hair. The first of the two men had purple hair and appeared to be around the same age as the women. He also wore a lab coat, but he had a pair of shorts and a blue T-shirt on underneath it. The second man was nowhere to be seen. When his head popped up out of the water, Mewtwo instantly knew who he was.
It was Dr Marcus. Dr Marcus was one of the doctors Krates hired to watch over many of the other pokemon brought to the island. He was only 21 and very smart for his age. When Krates saw him perform surgery on an Abra using a simple first aid kit and a very sharp pocketknife, he Knew Marcus had talent. The Abra had been shot when the gun Krates had been using backfire. Marcus took out the bullet and did his best to stop the bleeding, but since he was limited in his supplies, he could slow the bleeding down until the Abra made it the Pokemon Center about half a mile away. Krates still had a slight scar above his left eye from the incident.
"I think that little blast may have frightened Voltorb, who then used Self-destruct, Jesse." Marcus said.
"Hey James, think we can salvage the boat?" Dr Marcus shouted as he got out of the water. He was wearing a pair of green shorts and a simple black T-shirt. He had no foot ware on his feet.
"I think we can, but it will take a lot of work." James replied.
"Did all of the pokemon get off the boat?" He said as he walked over to James.
"To my knowledge, yes." Jesse replied.
Just then, Telina, Putanna, and Sarah charged out of the woods. Mewtwo remained unseen. All three of them had umbrellas and light clothing. Telina was in her basic lab clothing. Putanna was wearing the same thing she had been last night. As for Sarah, she was in a gymnastics suit and had sandals on her feet. "What happened here?" Telina asked as she caught her breath.
"Voltorb was the one who caused the explosions." Marcus said.
Mewtwo left before he could be discovered. 'Worthless humans.' He thought. 'They blame pokemon for all of their problems.' Sarah picked up on Mewtwo's thoughts and quickly began to follow him.
"However, he was startled. A malfunctioning burner blew up while it was sleeping." Marcus said. Mewtwo was out of earshot by the time that Marcus had said that. "Where's Sarah, she was just here?" Marcus asked as he looked around.
Mewtwo was almost at one of the pavilions when Sarah caught up to him. "You didn't listen to the rest of his explanation, did you?" She asked. She was soaking wet.
"What does it matter?" Mewtwo asked. "Humans will always blame pokemon for their problems. A burner blew up and startled that pokemon. It did not just decide to use Self-destruct like Marcus said." Mewtwo was just about to enter the tunnel back to the base when he felt a hand grab his shoulder. "Get away from me human." Mewtwo said using his tail to push Sarah away from him.
"You have a lot to learn about humans, Mewtwo. Not all of us humans are like my father." Sarah said. "If you give me time, I can prove to you that humans do care for pokemon as equals." Sarah said as she started to shiver from the rain that had doused her gymnastic suit.
"Why should I believe you?" Mewtwo shouted.
Before Sarah could answer, an assault helicopter flew right over their heads. It was so quiet that they failed to notice it appear on the horizon. It stopped by the labs before it fired two rockets at Mewtwo's living area. Just then, 2 more helicopters flew over head. One was another assault chopper just like the one that had fired up the lab. The other one was an armored transport. The transport chopper flew over the hole that the first assault chopper had made. It opened the rear hatch and several men jumped down into the lab.
Telina came charging out of the woods holding a pair of revolvers. "Sarah, you're an experienced marksman right?" Telina shouted.
"Yes, but why?" Sarah asked as Telina tossed her one of the two revolvers she had. Sarah caught it, but was quickly becoming worried.
"Your father had been receiving threatening e-mails for the last few weeks telling him to shut down the lab." Telina said as she dragged them all into the tunnels. "Apparently, word leaked out that Krates had a genetics lab here. We think that some of the more experienced members of the former Team Rocket may have been behind the e-mails." Telina explained as she ran down the tunnel. Mewtwo was running right behind her followed by Sarah. "If they are former Team Rocket members, then they are after Mewtwo and his files." They stopped at a large steel door. There was one at every junction where the tunnels and the lab met. "If they are a unknown party, there's no telling what they are after. As the door opened, several Golbat and a few Crobat flew into the tunnels.
They immediately attacked using Super Sonic. Telina and Sarah grabbed their heads. Mewtwo jumped up over the area of effect. He countered using Psychic. All of the Golbat and Crobat instantly found themselves unable to move. They were then thrown into each other. This tactic had knocked out most of them but a few Crobat and a Golbat were still in fighting condition. By this time, Telina and Sarah had recovered from the attack by the pokemon. They each fired 2 shots that hit the four remaining pokemon, each shot exploding in a small puff of green smoke. The bullets that had fired from the revolvers were not your average every day bullets. These were Sleeper Slugs. They had some amount of sleeping gas inside a hollow shell. It had a reinforced case, but it was easy to break if it hit something head on. It was very effective against pokemon, but it did have a flaw. The gas could be fatal to humans.
Just as the remaining pokemon went down, several humans with poke balls in their hands showed up. All of them wore basic combat gear, including masks. They threw poke balls and 13 pokemon came forth. 3 Toxicroak, 7 Machoke, and 3 Gallade. Mewtwo knew this was a bad thing. He had his limits when it came to using his psychic powers. Once they ran out, he would be defenseless. A critical flaw that had developed during his creation was his endurance. In physical combat, he would lose in a matter of seconds.
All of the fighting pokemon charged Mewtwo at once. Mewtwo managed to deflect most of the blows but he failed to avoid them all. A Toxicroak got him square in the chest. "Remember, we want that one alive." the Toxicroak's trainer shouted. Toxicroak pulled his claw out of Mewtwo's arm. The poison had already began to effect his body.
Then fighting pokemon then turned their attention toward Telina and Sarah. Sarah rushed over to Mewtwo who was quickly losing conciseness. Just at the one of the other Toxicroaks began to attack, it was intercepted.
Two Lucarios caught the Toxicroak and threw it into the other pokemon. A man came into view from the far end of the tunnel. It was Dr Marcus. "Lucario, get that door closed." Marcus shouted. Both Lucario pushed out the fighting pokemon and then slammed the door shut. They made sure to seal it by slamming a steel bar into the locking mechanism. Mewtwo was fighting hard just to stay awake.
"Mewtwo needs help." Telina shouted. Dr. Marcus pulled a syringe out of his lab coat and threw it to Telina. She caught it and used it on Mewtwo. It was filled with a power anti-venom that Marcus had made himself. As Telina was injecting the serum into Mewtwo, the steel door was taking a beating. Several dents had already been formed in the door. It would not last much longer.
"How do we get out of here?" Sarah asked.
"The tunnels." Marcus said. "I'll hold them off with me pokemon. You 2 get Mewtwo out of here." Marcus said as he released his other for pokemon. In addition to Marcus' 2 Lucarios, he also had a Metagross, a Riachu, a Scizor, and a Exploud.
All of them were genetically modified to be faster, stronger, and smarter then others of their kind. However, they all shared one problem. They required monthly doses of Genetic Stabilizers to stay healthy. If the Stabilizer was not given to them, they would quickly become sick as the blood in their veins would start attacking the body. Worse case scenario, they live in endless pain. If they had been created like Mewtwo had been with the changes in place during growth, they would not of had this problem.
Just as Telina and Sarah picked up Mewtwo, the hole appeared in the door. Seconds later, more hole began to appear. "Go now. We can handle them." Marcus shouted. He now had a pistol in each hand.
Just before they got out of earshot, they heard Marcus scream, then everything went silent. Telina turned around and saw a large explosion, but heard nothing. She instantly realized why. Telina grabbed Sarah and Mewtwo and dragged them up the nearest flight of stairs. Sarah's mouth was moving but no sound came out. She slammed the door open, but there was still no sound what so ever. It was as if the world had been put on mute. Just before Telina had a chance to lock the door, a massive sound wave threw the door off of its hinges. All of the glass in the lab shattered instantly. Then all sense of sound returned back to normal. Both Telina and Sarah now had a ringing in their ears.
"What was that?" Sarah asked.
"That was Marcus' Exploud. It must have used Sonic Disruption." Telina said. "It's a three step attack. Step one is the collection of all sound in the area. Everything in that area literally gets put on mute. Step two in the most destructive part of the attack. The pokemon begins to release the sound in one general direction. Everything in its way gets hit blasted by pure sound. Step three is the aftermath. All that extra sound get released in a 360 by 300 by 300 degree area of effect. Only things directly below the attack are left unaffected." Telina said. The ringing in their ears finally started to subside. "The general idea of the attack is similar to a sonic boom, only several times bigger." Telina said as she ran over to check on Mewtwo.
"Is he ok?" Sarah asked.
"He should be fine, I think I got that injection to him fast enough." Telina responded as Mewtwo finally lost conciseness.
Mewtwo awoke to the sounds of fighting. He looked up to see a Vaporeon, Espeon, and Sarah standing between him and 2 Medicham and 4 Machamp. It was obvious that the Medicham worked for Team Rocket people because of the large red R on there hands. The trainer pulled out a gun.
"Listen up little girl, we are going to be taking all of the pokemon in this lab with us, so just get out of my way." the trainer said. He removed the empty clip from the gun. "Personally, I could care less about you. It would cause your father a great deal of grief if I killed you." The trainer was now loading a new clip into the gun. "To put it simply, I'm trying to show you a bit of kindness."
"You'll never get the pokemon from me." Sarah shouted. Mewtwo finally got around to looking behind him and saw the main vault. All of the pokemon that were in the lab were stored here when they were not in use.
'Why would she risk her life for a bunch of Pokemon?' Mewtwo thought.
"Fine, then I'll just take them by force." the trainer said. "Medicham, use Mega Punch on the girl." Both Medicham rushed in ready to kill Sarah, but they were stopped dead by Mewtwo. Mewtwo lifted them both up into the air.
"Why you. That's it. You've caused us more trouble then your worth." The trainer shouted. He quickly aimed the gun at Mewtwo and pulled the trigger. Sarah intercepted the bullet with her arm. The trainer fired to more shots hitting Sarah in the same arm. Sarah was using her psychic abilities to reduce the impact and damage from the bullets, but it was taking its toll. Blood once again began to drip from her ears and nose. The trainer fired a forth time and Vaporeon tried to intercept it but, Sarah grabbed the pokemon and took the bullet. It hit her in her shoulder.
Mewtwo saw this and something possessed him to help her. 'What am I doing?' Mewtwo thought. He moved in front of Sarah and flung the 2 Medicham he had caught with his powers into the Machamps. All 6 pokemon belonging to the trainer were then lifted into the air. All of them were then thrown out of a window into the water below. As for the trainer, he found himself getting slammed into the wall. "You tried to take my life. Let me return the favor." Mewtwo shouted. The trainer grabbed his neck as Mewtwo's eyes turned a deep shade of blue. Telina rushed in to see Mewtwo choking the trainer.
"Mewtwo, don't kill him." Telina said. Mewtwo ignored her. "Mewtwo, stop it now." Telina pointed her gun at Mewtwo, she still had a single Sleeper Slug left.
"Mewtwo...please." Sarah whispered. "Stop." She was just barely conscious. This time, Mewtwo did stop. The trainer fell the floor. Telina picked up the trainers gun and pointed at the trainer. Mewtwo walked over to Sarah.
"Why did you save my life?" Mewtwo asked with a calm voice. He was puzzled. Sarah had not only saved his life, but also the life of her Vaporeon, which meant that he was not the reason she took 4 bullets.
"Not all... humans are... like... my father." Sarah whispered before she passed out. Blood had lightly stained her left sleeve and the back of her shirt.
"Will she live?" Mewtwo asked realizing that he was once again losing consciousness.
"Yes, but it will take time for her to recover." Telina said. "Then again maybe not as long as I thought." Telina said. A close look at Sarah revealed that the bullet had net penetrated Sarah's skin too deep. They barely even touched her bones. Each bullet could have been removed with a pair of needle nose pliers. The rest of Team Rocket, they were already heading toward the helicopters. "I think she'll make a great recovery, Mewtwo." Telina said only to hear silence. "Mewtwo?" Telina turned to find Mewtwo out cold on the floor. "The poison must have still be in his system." Telina said as she picked up Sarah. Marcus charged in just before Telina was about to leave the room. "Take care of Mewtwo." Telina said.
"Will do." Marcus replied.
Telina rushed Sarah to Infirmary as the helicopters took off. While the raid was not as bad as it could have been, Team Rocket still made off with several thousand dollars worth of equipment and about 30 genetically enhanced Pokemon. Out of the 20 Rocket members that attacked the island, only 17 were going back. Mewtwo had knocked one out and nearly killed him. The other two were killed in the explosion of flying glass that was caused by Exploud's Sonic Disruption attack.

The trainer grabbed his neck as Mewtwo's eyes turned a deep shade of blue. Telina rushed in to see Mewtwo choking the trainer.
"Mewtwo, don't kill him." Telina said. Mewtwo ignored her. "Mewtwo, stop it now." Telina pointed her gun at Mewtwo, she still had a single Sleeper Slug left.
"Mewtwo...please." Sarah whispered. "Stop." She was just barely conscious. This time, Mewtwo did stop. The trainer fell the floor. Telina picked up the trainers gun and pointed at the trainer. Mewtwo walked over to Sarah.
"Why did you save my life?" Mewtwo asked with a calm voice. He was puzzled. Sarah had not only saved his life, but also the life of her Vaporeon, which meant that he was not the reason she took 4 bullets.
"Not all... humans are... like... my father." Sarah whispered before she passed out. Blood had lightly stained her left sleeve and the back of her shirt.
"Will she live?" Mewtwo asked realizing that he was once again losing consciousness.
"Yes, but it will take time for her to recover." Telina said. "Then again maybe not as long as I thought." Telina said. A close look at Sarah revealed that the bullet had net penetrated Sarah's skin too deep. They barely even touched her bones. Each bullet could have been removed with a pair of needle nose pliers. The rest of Team Rocket, they were already heading toward the helicopters. "I think she'll make a great recovery, Mewtwo." Telina said only to hear silence. "Mewtwo?" Telina turned to find Mewtwo out cold on the floor. "The poison must have still be in his system." Telina said as she picked up Sarah. Marcus charged in just before Telina was about to leave the room. "Take care of Mewtwo." Telina said.
"Will do." Marcus replied.
Telina rushed Sarah to Infirmary as the helicopters took off. While the raid was not as bad as it could have been, Team Rocket still made off with several thousand dollars worth of equipment and about 30 genetically enhanced Pokemon. Out of the 20 Rocket members that attacked the island, only 17 were going back. Mewtwo had knocked one out and nearly killed him. The other two were killed in the explosion of flying glass that was caused by Exploud's Sonic Disruption attack.
