That is a new story I just thought of a while ago and just wanted to get it out there for people to read. I hope you like it.
Mewtwo - Talking

Naruto - Talking
Naruto - Thoughts
The sky became dark and low with ominous black clouds and the wind picked up, howling, crying, warning, baying like a wolf into the night. The first crack of lightening rent the air and within seconds the rolling boom of the thunder reverberated overhead. Soon the rain fell, slow to start, splattering the forest path haphazardly. Then it fell as if from buckets, cascading like a waterfall from the heavens. It pounded from outside to cave as if it were demanding entrance. The young Uzumaki had come to the small grotto in the mountains for solitude, to escape everything and everyone. He had anticipated it with such relish. But now he was here even the fire seemed cold and he longed for some company. Being alone became an anguish rather than a salve.
Naruto had been orphaned so young he had no recollections of what it had been like to have parents. Perhaps that was a mercy. If he could have remembered the hugs, cocooned in his parents arms, being scooped off his feet the minute his lower lip trembled, he would not have lasted a week on the streets. He did not look for love, he did not expect it, he barely knew what it was. Anytime anyone mentioned the 'L' word it was in the context of an adversary and how they would exploit it to their advantage. There was no room for sentimentality in his life, only tough guys survived.
"Get out of here you demon"
"You're nothing but a nuisance to us"
"We don't want you here"
"Just disappear"
Being shunned was nothing new to him. It was the ridicule that came along with not following the social conduct. There was only hate and brutality from the ones looked up upon. It sucked to be one's self, especially if that self always stood outside watching, was never offered an umbrella for when it rained, or even frozen during a bonfire. That self could not join in with the crowd and he never would.
"Shut up" The tiny blond child lifted his head high glaring at the villagers in anger
"You will all regret being mean to me one day all of you will!" the blue eyed child shouted at everyone staring at him, then turn on his heels sprinting out in to the forest just wanting to be alone. The young Uzumaki ran until he could not run anymore. He didn't know how far he ran he just wanted to leave everything behind.
The young blond went out to scrap up some fire wood to warm up the fire from inside the cave before it started to poor down. Naruto left his little shelter to look for some fallen branches. A couple of Bunnelbys and Fletchlings rummaging for shelter from the storm. Naruto waved to a few his Pokémon friends he knew running for cover from the upcoming rainstorm. Living amongst the wild Pokémon was a dream come true for the young child. None of the Pokémon shunned him or avoided him at all, but welcomed him with open arms when he first arrived in there domain. The sky became dark and low with ominous black clouds and the wind picked up. The first crack of lightening rent the air and within seconds the rolling boom of the thunder reverberated overhead. Naruto leaned his back against a huge oak tree sliding down on the ground hoping the storm would quickly pass over. The blond spotted streaks of lighting flashing over the leaf village from afar. He glared in distain before turning away from the sight of the small community.
'I hate it that place' the blond thinking back from just being run out of the village for no reason.
"No one cares about me…maybe it would be better if I really disappeared" he said while tucking his head between his knees in sadness. Suddenly streaks of pure white crackled against a stormy blanket of grey. The young blond looked up in surprise spotting a shadowy figure falling out of the sky not too far away from where he was hiding. The blond rushed toward the mysterious figure in worry and curiosity.
When the blond jumped over a few shrubs to get a closer look in what landed nearby. The blond spotted the mysterious creature, he gasped in surprise in what he found. The creature was primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail was thick at the base.
"Wow is this a Pokémon, I have never seen a Pokémon like this before?" the curious blond said rushing over to the downed unknown Pokémon. Naruto could clearly see the burn marks all over its body and the purple bruises all over its body that it was it must have suffered from a hard battle or attacked by someone. The little child looked around frantically hoping to find anything to help. The blond looked over to an overly aged maple tree seeing the huge pieces of bark chipping off, the blond had an idea.
Naruto pulled the huge pieces of bark of the base of the tree and found some think vines wrapped around a dead log not too far away. The child made a hand-made sled for the mysterious Pokémon. Naruto rolled the huge Pokémon onto the bark and wrapped the thick green vines around his tiny wrist and pulling the sled away to safety away from the storm. Thunder cried out from the blackened sky, the clouds invisible above. Naruto shuddered, his teeth grinding in anticipation. A boom like that meant the heavens were about to let down a deluge and he had nowhere to hide. Naruto soon found himself back inside his man shaped cave to hide from the storm. The young blond quickly put the dry sticks from the other day in the cave into the small fire to keep him and the mysterious Pokémon warm then went out into the unforgiving rain to savage for food and herbs for the unknown Pokémon injuries.
"Don't worry I'll take good care of you" he said looking back at the unconscious Pokémon before going back out into the storm without a second thought.
Without warning, eyes flung so wide each iris is a perfect orb of deep purple. After a second or two its head turns, then looked around the cave confused on how it got here in the first place. Mewtwo looked down seeing the thick blue blanket covering him and the medical gaze wrapped around his arms and hind legs and a few band aides covering on his face.
'What is going on here?' Mewtwo thought to himself looking toward the already smoldered burnt fire pit.
"Hey, Morning, well good afternoon to be honest!" the powerful psychic type looked toward the mouth of the cave seeing a tiny figure running closer into the cave. The child smiles brightly seeing the mysterious Pokémon awake. Mewtwo looked up seeing the blond child still unsure if this human is friend or foe. Long tangled hair blows about his face, obscuring the layers of grime. Mewtwo knew the blond child was defenseless, no threat toward the power legendary.
"I brought you some breakfast I hope you like Peacha and Oran berries" the blond excited ran over putting the arm full of berries next to the injured Pokémon. Mewtwo huffed while looked away uninterested in the sweet fruits.
"I had a feeling you may not be hungry when you woke up, that's why it went out and got you a wide selection because I didn't know which one you preferred" the child stated with a grin still plastered on his face. Mewtwo looked over seeing the vast amounts of berries pilled on a huge leaf in the back of the cave.
'He must have spent hours looking for this much food' Mewtwo thought in amazement, and then looked over again to the distracted blond child putting away the rest of the medical supplies in his small backpack.
"Where am I human?" The Genetic Pokémon asked to the mouth of the cave. Naruto looked up in amazement hearing the Pokémon speak to him with it mind.
"That's sooo cool! You can talk, how can you talk without moving your mouth like that!?" he grinned in eagerness.
"You did not answer my question first human" Mewtwo sternly stated unfazed from the child's energetic behavior.
"Oh sorry, we outside the borders of a small village named Konoha. A small town over is named Vaniville Town is a couple hours travel by foot, but to be precise we are in the outer forests in the Kalos region" Mewtwo pondered his current predicament for a second.
"The names Naruto Uzumaki by the way" he explained rubbing the back of his head with a big smile. Mewtwo looked at the child with blond long tangled hair blows about his face, obscuring the layer of grime that is only broken by small scars on his tan cheeks. His clothes are of the summertime that passed several weeks ago and his cheekbones are more pronounced than they should ever be on one so young. At his age he should be cherubic, but instead he reminds of a lost child.
"What's your name mister?" the blond sat on his knees while presenting the rest of his berry haul in front of the mysterious Pokémon.
"Mewtwo" he said looking down at the blue blanket he was currently draped over him.
"Mewtwo. . .that's a cool name"
"Why did you save me, what are you playing at human!?" subsequently Mewtwo passed encounters with humans never been pleasant, except a couple run in from psychotic organizations and the occasional poachers from time to time, but nothing he couldn't hold on his own.
"I wanted to save you because you're you. I didn't want you to leave, because you're you. I can't find another reason. I don't need another reason to save you, do I?" the blond said confused. Mewtwo looked up in surprise, nevertheless looked down at his paws in his lap.
"You should go back home human, someone would be worried where you been" Naruto then looked down to the ground quiet.
"I don't have anyone waiting for me, I'm alone, I have always been alone all my life. No one cares that I'm missing"
"I see" Mewtwo looking over to the abandon child in pity thinking he is just like him, alone.
"Are you alone too?" the blond asked sitting down, wrapping his arms around his knees waiting for a response.
"The one person who I thought understood me was just using me all along. No one ever treated me as an equal. Humans are all trash. They did not listen when I said that it hurt. They did not listen when I told them to stop. They didn't listen to anything I said!" Mewtwo angrily shouted clenching his paws thinking back to Giovanni using him as a tool.
"How can you move forward if you keep regretting the past." Mewtwo swiftly snapped his eyes up meeting the child's blue orbs. Mewtwo snapped back at the small child.
"You don't know anything. What the hell is up with you child? Trying to be the hero? Feel like some all-powerful main character? So annoying! Why? When? Where? What? How will you do and just who will you become? You're just pretending by spouting your ideals! You have nothing! You won't become someone!" the blond just smiled despite the psychic type harsh words toward him.
"The two of us aren't so different Mewtwo. My whole life I've sought after attention from others. I felt bitter to the people around me and I closed off my heart . . .and a heart that lets nothing in... will become empty before you realize it. But in this world, you'll sometimes meet meddlesome people who will, even without asking, give you the love you need. And for someone like you or me, meeting such a person is very blissful" he grinned back at the Genetic Pokémon. Naruto looked back into the ember of the fire in front of them.
"After being driven out of the orphanage, I had nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep, and, as one might expect, not a cent to my name. That is how I've arrived at my current predicament..." the blond said picking at the burning flames from the small fire with a small branch. Mewtwo thought back to the experiments from being created and almost destroying the world with his army of cloned Pokémon. Naruto looked over to Mewtwo noticing the stain of guilt in the Pokémon s eyes.
"It's fine. Everyone makes mistakes. You just need to make an effort not to make the same mistake again" the blonds eyes lightened while smiling back at Mewtwo.
"Liars always say the same things. "I'll believe in you. I'll protect you. I care about you." I'll never believe that again... No one will ever protect me. I won't even think about it. I'll fight alone, live alone, and die alone. I know... I've felt it on my skin and in my body... That it's better not to believe in anyone than believe and be betrayed!" Mewtwo glared away from the blond gazing at the shadows that danced along the walls of the cave.
"The only one who can decide your worth... is you. If you want to earn something, you need to reach out for it. That's how it always works. To make your ambitions come true, you have to take risks. The larger the ambition the greater the risk. That might involve time or enough work to affect your lifespan... So make your choice. Live in peace as a wannabe or risk losing it all to reach the very top. You're the one who needs to decide" Mewtwo looked back to consider the blonds words before spotting the child getting back up on his feet to pat the rest of the dirt from his tattered shorts.
"Are you leaving already?"
"Just for a little while. I need get some more water for both of us before it gets dark" the child said picking up a tiny canteen by the pack full of medical supplies.
"I won't be long Mewtwo, I be back in a bit okay" he beamed before wrapping the side sling of the canteen around his shoulders before heading back out of the caves main entrance.
"Why do you smile so much even though you are in so much pain?" Naruto stopped for a moment still facing the mouth of the cavern. Mewtwo observed the small child's still form for a moment waiting for a response.
"I smile. Not for anyone else, but for myself. Show yourself your own smile. You'll feel better than" Naruto turned back with a smile already spotting Mewtwo mouth twitched, and he was pretty sure he was fighting a smile too.
"Naruto Uzumaki, how do I know you won't try to capture me once I let my guard down?" Mewtwo questioned before the blond disappeared back outside the mouth of the cave.
"You just have to trust me!" the child said beaming back at the powerful legendary before racing out to the cave to search for water.
"Trust? I hate that word, but . . . coming from him it sounds different" Mewtwos mouth twitched in a small smile.
The pair talked for hours …well mostly Naruto talked while Mewtwo listened on while eating some of the berries Naruto gathered for him. And there they passed through the long courses, at first talking lightly, but excitedly, the comfort of someone just there to listen to you and be there beside them, it was something the Pokémon never experienced before, it was a nice feeling. Mewtwo knew he had to take some time to heal up and rest for a few weeks before taking off again. Naruto was sad that Mewtwo said he would leave once he was fully healed, but the blond understood and was happy to help him be more relax and comfortable before leaving.
The young blond smiled picking up small twigs and sticks for tonight's fire making sure they were nice and dry. The young Uzumaki smiled thinking of the last couple weeks he spent with Mewtwo. He learned that Mewtwo was a legendary Pokémon that was created from an evil organization named Team Rocket using him for their evil purposes. Mewtwo also said he was on a journey alone to just belong somewhere and to atone for his sins from the past, the psychic type explained a group of poachers spotted him and tried to capture him while helping some Pokémon that were in trouble along the way, however he got away just in time but got injured in the process in trying to escape. The night Naruto found him was when storm covered his tracks before the poachers captured him. Mewtwo thinks they are still out there and would not give up until they caught him.
'Poor Mewtwo is constantly on the run. The whole world is trying to catch him to just use him' Naruto eyes flashed in anger just thinking of the psychic type just trying to live in peace, nevertheless being hunter because of its power.
Naruto also shared with Mewtwo about old man Hokage and the friendly folks of the ramen shack called Ichiraku. The school he attended was not pleasant either the educators teaching him the wrong things and not helping him if he got something wrong. The leaf village hating him and shunning him away as well as kicked out of the orphanage for no reason. Mewtwo asked if he wanted him to terminate the whole village for him. The blond child eyes almost popped out of his head from the legendary Pokémons bold statement of destroying his former home. Naruto thinking the psychic type was just joking around to make him feel better, but Mewtwo stone cold face told the blond he was serious in his statement. Naruto rejected the Pokémons invitation in demolition to the leaf village but thanked him all the same for his consideration. Naruto enjoyed Mewtwos quiet personally even though he can be harsh and cold, but he was fair during their brief conversations when the psychic type actually spoke to him. And Mewtwo enjoyed the blond child's company, even though the blond can be extremely annoying at times.
Naruto was collecting fresh water from the nearby stream for Mewtwo since it should be resting and recuperating from its injuries. The young blond volunteered to fetch some cool water for the still wounded psychic type. Mewtwo nodded saying he would await his return.
The small canteen nearly filled up to the top before Naruto spotted groups of strange people dressed in all black with bulky body armor and guns making their way deeper into the forest. Naruto could feel the wickedness from them even across the river.
'Why are they here, Mewtwo said he gave those creeps the slip when the storm was happening, they shouldn't be looking for him at all!?' the blond thought sprinting back the way he came to the cave.
'I have to protect Mewtwo no matter what!' the blond thought to himself in determination.
"Mewtwo are okay?!" the said psychic type was confused by the child's hurried state, seeing the child panting hunched over on his knees trying to catch his breath.
"What is going on?"
"Thank goodness you didn't leave the cave, there's a group of those poachers you mentioned before coming in this direction, but you are not fully recovered yet, just stay here for a bit I'll lead them away from this location!"
"I know I am weak, but I can at least keep them from coming this way, so please stay here" his blond hair shielded his eyes from view.
Mewtwo looked back down spotting the water he requested early by his bedroll he was resting on. Mewtwo growled and turned to the mouth of the cave, he felt the presence of several unknown individuals getting closer.
"Naruto do not be foolish"
"Don't worry about me, just stay safe!"
Mewtwo admired the blonde's will to protect him, but Mewtwo was clearly not comfortable with leaving the boy to fend off the incoming theat.
"I know that I have no strength to offer. It irritates me how weak I am. But let me protect you!" Naruto pleaded before leaving back out. Mewtwo got up into its feet the first time in the last couple weeks it was bedridden. Naruto took care of his every need so there was no reason to leave the cavern in the first place. Mewtwo padded toward the entrance in irritation of these insignificant insects disrupting his rest.
'I will make sure they will pay'
"Mewtwo please just-" Mewtwo had enough of the blond child's self-sacrificing words.
"Stop trying to solve everything by yourself. Do not forget that you are not alone" Naruto looked at Mewtwo in surprise
"Do not be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end." The blond looked down in frustration in feeling weak and not having any way to help his only friend.
"You taught me what it means to care for someone else then myself, and for that I will be eternally grateful" Mewtwo said patting the blonds head in gratification.
"No I'm the one who is grateful. That's because you're all willing to be my friend. For that, I'm grateful" he blond beamed back at Mewtwo.
The bond between both human and Pokémon shared a small smile before heading out to face the battle ahead. The duo made quick work of the power hungry poachers that were after Mewtwo. Naruto distracted the thieves while Mewtwo using teleport to make the blond disappeared and reappeared in the dense forest without the thieves even noticing. Mewtwo picked off the rest of them one by one while the group was distracted by the blond child taunting them. The grunts were so transfixed on the child they did not notice there buddies vanishing. Naruto tied up all the poachers together. Mewtwo erased all of their memories of ever meeting them while teleporting them in the village in front of Officer Jenny and Officer Anko's police station. Mewtwo also destroyed the machines they brought with them and shattered the Pokéballs they had on their person. Setting all the Pokémon free from the poachers that was forcefully captured against their will.
The blond was grateful things had calmed down since the previous disaster that almost happened in the forest. The was a search party looking for the equipment the poachers used but did not find anything since Mewtwo destroyed all the machines and set all the Pokémon free. The blue eyed child looked up seeing the blue sky was streaked with the most beautiful sunset he had ever seen. The sky was filled with the most brilliant orange complimented perfectly with hues of red and crimson, hints of green lingering behind with the bluish grey of the forthcoming night sky.
'Mewtwo is leaving today; I know I shouldn't be sad but. . .' The tears flowed unchecked down his scared cheeks and dripped from his chin. He was too sad to cry out or wail.
"Naruto Uzumaki" the blond wiped his head around spotting his only friend standing there dressed in a tan tethered cloak around its frame. The small blond walked forward with his head down his long blond locks covering his cerulean orbs.
"It seems like we spent a long time together, but it wasn't. It was actually pretty short. Too short. So I kind of know, but I kind of don't know what I want to say" Naruto said in a whisper his body quivering from trying to hold his tears back.
"The more fun I have, the more it will hurt when we part ways. I know that all too well" the child said hoping to be able to meet his only friend again someday.
The blond child ran forward to sob into Mewtwos clothed chest unceasingly, hands clutching at his cloak. The child held the powerful psychic type in silence, Mewtwo held the child while rocking him slowly as Naruto tears soaked his robe. A tiny lapse let him pull away, blinking eyes heavy with tears, before he collapsed again, his howls of misery worsening. The pain must have come in waves, minutes of sobbing broken apart by short pauses for recovering breaths, before hurling himself back into the outstretched arms of the psychic type.
"I have no idea what you really want, what you're really thinking, or what the right thing to do really is. But I'm your friend. Please let me stay with you"
"I know I'm a weak human, but please take me with you, you are my only friend Mewtwo. I do not want to be alone anymore" the child trembled with tears streaming down his cheeks still clenching onto the tethered robes. Naruto knew Mewtwo would not even consider take him along.
"You've always seen yourself as just a normal human, and you're right, that's exactly what you are. You're normally caring, normally cheerful, and you're normally noisy. You've a strong moral compass, concern for your friends, and honor. I know you don't see this, but what's normal to you, well it's far from it. Everyone else would call it courageous and noble. It's because of the person you are that you don't think twice about your own safety when it comes to helping your friends. 'Because that is just normal to you" The blond child looked up in disbelief, tear streaks still coming down his scared cheeks in hearing the legendary Pokémon words.
"If you were not here, I do not know what would have happened to me. You cannot live in this world alone, no matter how I look at it" The blond taking him in and nursing him back to health without asking anything in return. The blond peeked up at the taller Pokémon.
"I want…to change things. I want to believe that anything can be changed. The moment I met you, a new world opened up for me. You see, after wandering in the darkness for so long, a light brought me happiness. It is all thanks to you." The blond rubbed the back of his head from bashfulness from the praise. Mewtwo stretched out his paw the blond looked into the eyes of Mewtwo seeing a real smile for the first time. Mewtwo nodded toward the blonds backpack the child opened the bag gulped a bit before pulling out a purple, with a white letter "M" on the front, with a pink circle on either side. Pokéball from the pack hold it up.
"A Master ball!?" wondering how Mewtwo gotten ahold of this ultra-rare Pokéball.
"You trusted me, so I will trust you too. That is what being friends means right?" Mewtwo said while bowing down to the blond child. Naruto beamed in eagerness tapping the Master ball against the psychic type forehead before it beamed inside the ball. The ball shook around three times before a tiny tick noise sounded indicating the Pokémon has been successfully caught. Naruto jumped up in excitement in attaining his first Pokémon ever, even though the Pokémon himself wanted to be caught. Naruto released Mewtwo from his ball.
"Are you sure about this Mewtwo?"
"Yes, I am sure, in a way you are protecting me" he nodded back with a smile
"Mewtwo I may not strong and I do not have anything to offer you, but I will not give up" while staring off to the sunset in silence and resolve.
"The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Mewtwo said while holding out an outstretched paw to the blond child. Naruto beamed putting on his backpack in eagerness before grabbing onto the psychic type paw while being lifted off the ground surrounding the blond Uzumaki in a blue aura protectively.
"My dream was to become a the Hokage the strongest Pokémon trainer in the village, but I do not know anymore" Naruto said looking toward the setting sun in the distance while the two still hovering in the air.
"Is that not what you wish?" The legendary asked.
"I still do want to be the strongest, but not just of this village but the whole world. I don't need the villager's approval to be strong. I can do it with my own two hands" the child looking back to the sunset while staying quiet, allowing himself to stay lost in the moment a while longer.
"You know there is another reason why I helped you Mewtwo" the psychic type looked over to the small child in curiosity.
"Old man Hokage always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" the blond Uzumaki beamed up at his only friend and first Pokémon.
"I see" Mewtwo smirked turning back to stare into the sunset once more.
"More than anyone else, humanity is a species which looks forward to tomorrow. Because of their dreams, they can bear with the unjustness of the present"
"If this is the path you choose to walk... I will help you get stronger. No matter what painful things happens even if you fail miserably and get in a tight spot... I will be there" Mewtwo nodded toward his trainer in respect.
"Thank you Mewtwo"
"So, come Naruto Uzumaki let us depart this place and start anew" the blond nodded
"I don't know what exactly I will be able to do for you, but I'll always be by your side."
"Believe it!"
Both trainer and Pokémon body glows white and they also become surrounded in lines of white light. They both then disappeared not leaving a trace behind. The name Naruto Uzumaki will go down in history.
