The thunder was crashing all around me, and I huddled into a small ball,
crying loudly. My Only Pokemon, Golduck, was more vulnerable to the storm
than I was, so he couldn't help me. I wouldn't have brought him out even if
he could. I got myself into this, and it wouldn't be right if I got him
involved as well.
I felt my body jerk. 'Another crash of thunder…that's all', I told myself. My light brown hair clung to my face in dripping strands, and my cloths offered no protection to the harsh winds and rain that pelted me. I began to wonder if the rain was actually piercing my skin.
My pokeball shivered and opened, and out he came. Golduck, or Neptune as I call him, huddled over me for a moment. I looked up into his sharp alert eyes and felt so horrible that I had dragged us out in this. I reached my arms around him and hugged him as close as I dared. Neptune lifted his snout to the sky calmly, looking around as I clung to him.
"What is it?" I asked him, getting to my knees.
He didn't make a sound. He just stood still and focused.
Something was wrong.
"Neptune…?"
My wide eyes searched around, trying to follow his gaze to what he was looking at. I released him as he turned around faced a certain direction. His eyes glowed and with throaty growl, he launched a confusion attack.
"Neptune! What's wrong?" I cried.
Then I saw his attack hit something and stop, as if frozen in place. Then it shot towards the sky and disappeared. My eyes widened, seeing a silhouette approach us.
"Who are you?" I shouted. I was hoping it would have come out brave and fearless, but my voice trembled and faltered, giving away my trepidation.
The figure kept coming.
I took Neptune's shoulder and urged him to get behind me.
He looked up at me questioningly. I knew he saw my fear…I knew he wanted to help.
But he obeyed and stepped back.
"Don't fear me." The silhouette's voice thundered. Was it a voice? It sounded much to clear through the wind and rain.
"Who are you?" I pleaded. "I don't have anything to give you, I'm just a failure of a Pokemon trainer!"
The stranger stopped. "A…trainer?"
I nodded and swallowed. "And I don't have anything! So just leave us alone!"
"And why do you think I want something? You think I'm a threat?"
"You must be if Neptune attacked you!" I replied. "Pokemon are attuned to matters of the subconscious and are excellent judges of character." Neptune nodded silently in agreement.
"If you think I have no knowledge of Pokemon and what they are capable of…you are sadly mistaken."
That's when I realized something. The shape of this person was off. It was tall, but not tall enough to be a human adult, and I couldn't recognize it as any Pokemon I'd ever seen.
I gasped as I saw for myself the answer to my questions as a flash of lightning struck. A large towering Pokemon stood in front of me! It was white and stood on his hind legs. He had very sharp intelligent eyes, and his head was bowed slightly.
I whimpered and closed my eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I was given the name…MewTwo."
I nodded for a reason unknown, and said, "I'm Celeste."
"I see. And why are you out here in the middle of such a storm?"
My words caught in my throat and I felt I was going to choke on them. "I…I could ask you the same."
The creature raised its head, and I saw a tiny mouth on the underside of his face smirking. "I'm curious why a human child is out here alone as I said, in the middle of a storm."
"Oh." I stuttered as my eyes kept traveling over this unusual pokemon. His tail rested motionlessly suspended in air, and his hind legs were like that of a rabbits. But…his arms were like a humans.
I sat wordlessly for a moment. Neptune glared at MewTwo speculatively, and stepped forward.
He made a few noises, as if he were talking to him.
The Pokemon stranger tilted it's head to one side.
"You want me to help her?"
Neptune nodded once sharply.
"Why?"
Golduck continued in his series of strange quacking noises.
"I see…you're lost."
My heart sank. Even he knew now. I couldn't run from the truth or the obvious, but I was hoping to find way out on my own. Still, somehow, MewTwo's presence was comforting.
"I suppose I will help you, but the nearest Pokemon center is to far to travel in a storm like this." He looked to me. "Do you approve of my help?"
I must have looked pathetic. I was soaking wet and sitting quietly while my Pokemon made negotiations. I shrugged and stood up.
"I'd grateful. Thank you."
"I'm in no need of gratitude, but it would plague my concience if I left you here. Come."
He turned and began to float upward. I ran after him as a flash lit the area and I fell to my knee's and crouched in fear. I was going to die out here!
"Fear must be a strange emotion. Come child." I looked up to see my Golduck and MewTwo staring at me. The awkward shaped hand of this new Pokemon was outstretched to me, offering help.
"Thank you." I whispered as I took his hand. The strange ball shapped fingers firmly grasped my palm and weightlessly hoisted me upward onto his back. I wrapped my arms securely around his neck and he began to take off. I recalled Neptune into his Pokeball and tucked him lovingly into my jacket pocket.
Well…I'm no Pokemon fanatic or anything, but the idea's been bumping around in my head for a while. Tell me if it's worth continuing or not. Luv Mia
