TW Graphic description of violence, murder
There are some things that change. Quite a lot even. After all the world keeps moving. It rotates slowly everyday and circuits every year. All the creatures who were fortunate enough to live there took part in that annual event, willingly or not. And so everything keeps moving, changing. Yet never returns.
This wretched truth seem even more obvious for the girl who observes how the Celadon City's lab is slowly consumed by fire. Few small leaks in the crate she was in let her observe the red glow which becomes more and more visible proportionally to the distance the truck pass. Thankfully the driver seems unaware of what's going on behind his back and just conitues the journey foroward. Even whistle something under his breath. Quite bizzare accompaniment to the nightmare that happened there.
Yet not only the whistling driver seems unffiting here. Basically he was the most ordinary part of that strange picture. The man was supposed to reach Pallet Town where a ship with smuggled goods waits. Then the sail will drift towards Alola. With stowaway, who wasn't a part of the plan. Yet this sounds like every other day in Team Rocket. Except the stowaway. And the conflagration in Celadon City's lab. And the fact sooner or later the victims of it will be found.
All in all, it doesn't seem ordinary at all. Or maybe it stopped beeing ordinary as the girl set the fire. Or even before, as she study when supply delivery would arrive and start making this ridiculous plan. Or even erenow...
Four years ago
It was the natural order that people who do something great like to be praised. So do Team Rocket. Yet they were lucky owners of common sense and decide not to show their achievements immadietly. After all too many people would like to see their fall. And about half of them won't hesitate to make their fall real.
At the beggining only Giovanni and few people of the scientific team knows that their strange research eventually bring some results. A fragment of Mew's genotype was found in the dense jungle. To specify - its eyelash. Naturally people will report such finding, bring it to museum, or research lab. But not Team Rocket. They use it. With it create the most powerful creatue that walk (or levitate) in this world. Mewtwo.
This discovery, or rather invention would make Team Rocket the most powerful organization in the underworld. Yet some time must have passed. For now they were just a bunch of morons, pretedning to be something better. And in order to prove this, they would like to show of. That's why invite some guest and try to present what Mewtwo can do.
"You must be kidding." Even via telepathy the Pokemon's snort was easy to notice. "I'm not going to do that."
At this time Mewtwo was young. Unaware of the world around it, or the role that it have to fulfill. Not only Team Rocket's Pokemon. Also their invention. Living weapon. The villain.
"I-I just past the orders." The young scientist said nervously, lowering his head.
Eventually the scientists just correct his glasses and nervously leave, followed by Mewtwo's careful gaze. The creature just observe how his hasty movements, wagging its tail. Such reaction wasn't something new or unexpected. People tend to have such ratty attitude. Yet only when talking to it. In every normal circumstances they behave differently. Lightly talk, laugh, enjoy the company of other of the same species. Surely beware the boss, but he was the kind of person everyone was afraid of.
Mewtwo likes to observe them. Noticing how they live. Behave. Such behaviour could be considered as creepy. Mostly because it was. Yet it couldn't help but feel curious how that creature proceed. For example this scientist have a name. Josh. The scientist team not consider him as serious criminal. Josh tends to talk a lot. Socialize. Go out with friends. Addicted to caffeine. Just light-hearthed person. People like that not live long in such demanding circumstances.
Eventually the creature sigh. Or rather let a thelephatical sound that resemble sighing. It not use mouth, neither waste oxygen on talking. So just stop and levitate down the stairs. Doesn't need a map of this place. Just caught a glimpses of everyone's thoughts, that points what is were. Someone knows that if you follow the path, having that tubes on your right side, you'll reach exist. Someone knows that at the crossroad, the road that leading to the boss' office is the left one. And someone else was aware that right now a prisoner was bring to boss' office. A prisoner Mewtwo have to kill.
"I'm not going to do that!" The door open with a loud bang, caused by Mewtwo's thelekinesis.
There were five people in total. Giovanni, the Team Rocket's boss, his three quest, and some tied man. The man Mewtwo was suppose to kill. In order to present Team Rocket's power.
A bunch of laugh followed Mewtwo's words. The creature manage to hear a word 'reatrei' by its physical ears, while the mental senses understand the meaning of that. The one who retreat. The one who tries to deny its fate. But the one, whose effort were pointless. After all soon learn its place and return.
At first Mewtwo not comment it. Just look with a corner of an eyes at Giovanni The man also have nothing to say. Just support his head on arm and with a half-mouth smile looking at the whole scene. Like he not care at all what Mewtwo will or won't do. Yet the creature knows it's not truth.
What is truth, criminals have lack of moral compass. But there were things that not opperate on the law. Like harm others. Or killing. And moral principles have to be followed to...
...To what? To get praised by others? To seem good or right? After all even now people tremble at the very sight of the creature. Afraid it could harm them for every word. And despite its wish, Mewtwo won't become like them. It wasn't human. Or even humanish.
With such thought Mewtwo close its eyes. See the beating hearth in the chest of the tied man. Her which want to beat. Want to live. And with a simple gesture Mewtwo crushed it down. But with that, also crush some of its own expectations. That maybe someday it could go out. Talk to someone who could be call friends. Drink a coffe.
Suddenly the laugh stop. Right now there were only four people in the room. Also some corpse and some murderer.
"I do not appreciate when someone laugh at me." A thelepathical voice, simillar to whisper could be heard.
Giovanni not smile half-mouth. Just smile as the three foreign guest fall on the ground. Lifeless. Leaving only one person in the room. And one monster.
"Good job." He said.
Like he have nothing else to said. Most likely he don't. It wasn't his hopes which were crushed down. It wasn't him who learnt that relity is... real. And in reality mosters shouldn't exist. That in reality monsters have to fight in order to survive. And not be stopped by their own hesitation.
"I'd never retreat." Mewtwo growl thelepathically.
Its voice somehow vibrate through the tube. Or maybe it was just presentiment.
"Have you said something?"
Mewtwo open its eyes. Only to see that right above, at the sternum, there's a human. Lab coat, pair of glasses, curly hair. Caring nature. What was his name? Josh?
Or does it matter? He was just scientist. Another human. Something Mewtwo would never become.
"Forget it." The creature replay.
Later, as it remind this moment, Mewtwo realize something out of ordinary. Decide to say that aloud. Not make him forget by itself.
