81I can't remember where, but I remember adopting a "Ash's Legendary Starter challenge" Also, I hate the 4 move limit, with a Pokemon in the anime (Drake's Dragonite), using ten moves... Dragonsrule18 has used an unlimited move limit in her stories, and so did "Chronicles of the Chosen One: Pokemon Master"... So...
Chronicles of a Pokemon Master
ch 1: The Birth of Mewtwo
"Why" A young creature asked, watching it's three friends; a human girl with long blue hair, a bulbasaur with strange markings, a squirtle with strange markings, and a charmander with strange markings disappear in front of his eyes. It is a bipedal, humanoid creature with some feline features. It is primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. 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 is thick at the base, but thins before ending in a small bulb.
"It's just a part of life." The girl, Amber said, "Do not mourn for me, but celebrate my life...you will find someone like me to care for you. Goodbye...Mewtwo.." With a pat on his head, she vanished completely. Then, strange voices echoed in Mewtwo's ears.
"Ambertwo's life signs faded! She's gone!"
"We've lost Bulbatwo!"
"Charmandertwo just died!"
"We lost Squirtletwo!"
Then, another voice yelled "Erase Mewtwo's memories of them!" And his purple eyes snapped open.
"NO!" Mewtwo's voice telepathed!
"I won't let you erase my memories of my friends!" A blue glow outlined the young Mewtwo and the test tube cracked open, spilling an orange liquid.
"It's much too soon for him to be out!" The man who yelled to have Mewtwo's memories erased shouted.
Tears stung Mewtwo's eyes as a feeling of loss filled him, and anger at the people who wanted him to forget who taught him about life. A blue glow surrounded him and he flew off into the distance..
"He escaped...what are we going to tell Giovanni?" The lead scientist asked.
He was Mewtwo. That much he knew. He knew from Amber about the sky, feelings, the sun, the moon, grass, and Pokemon. What he didn't know...was where he was. Hunger was setting in, and he landed in a small forest near a town with a windmill. There was a small boy in a yellow shirt with a red stripe going down from the left shoulder and black shoes and blue jean shorts wit spiky black hair and brown eyes and "Z" markings on each cheek playing with a Caterpie, Rattata, and Butterfree. The boy was completely oblivious, but the Pokemon sensed his approach and stared in his direction. This got the boy's attention and he turned to see the young Mewtwo leaning on a tree while panting from the exerted energy in his escape.
"So...hungry..." Mewtwo telepathed; dropping to its knees as it grabbed around his stomach, the blue energy dissipating.
The boy thought for a minute and then approached Mewtwo, pulling something out of his pocket. "Here you go" The boy said cheerfully, handing him a piece of a sandwich he had saved for later. Mewtwo stared at it in confusion as he prodded it with his bulbous fingertips before grabbing it slowly and taking a bite, chewing quickly and swallowing the bite. The young Mewtwo looked up at the boy, and then quickly ate the rest of the sandwich, breaking a couple pieces off for the other Pokemon sniffing around him.
"My name's Ash! Want to be friends?" The boy asked, grinning at him.
"You will find someone to care for you." Amber's last words echoed in his mind and tears stung his eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?" Ash asked, moving closer to him.
"My friends died." It telepathed, wiping at tears with the back of his hands, but stopped moving as the boy hugged him.
"It'll be okay." Ash said, rubbing his back and letting the young Pokemon continue to cry. After a while, the Pokemon's tears stopped, and it gazed to the boy holding him and the Rattata, Caterpie, and Butterfree huddled close to him.
"Thank you." Mewtwo said, "My name is...Mewtwo...and yes! I want to be friends!" A small smile spread on Mewtwo's face as he sniffled slightly. The boy cheered and the other Pokemon joined in as they started a game of tag, the Caterpie, being the slowest, being the first one to be "it". They continued playing, Mewtwo laughing for the first time since his friends died, until a voice started calling Ash's name.
"That's my mom!" Ash said, stopping in his tracks as Mewtwo tilted his head in confusion.
"Your...mom?" Mewtwo asked, "Can I...meet your...mom?" He was hesitant and nervous. Adults had wanted to erase his memories of his friends. However, he wanted to meet the person who raised a young child who took joy being around Pokemon. It was very conflicting. Ash reminded him of Amber, and yet he was worried about Adults. His experience wasn't the best to be honest.
Ash gave a warm, huge grin! "Of course!" He exclaimed, "Mom will love you!" He then grabbed Mewtwo's left hand with his right hand. "Come on! Let's go!" With that, the young boy ran as Mewtwo floated after him, both smiling.
When Delia Ketchum opened the door, she was surprised to see the young Pokemon about the size of Ash staring up at her with nervous purple eyes.
"Hi?" Mewtwo nervously asked, and Delia knelt down so she wouldn't appear so large and intimidating to the nervous Pokemon.
"Ash! You made an adorable friend!" Delia said, smiling at Mewtwo and her son, "Be sure to wash your hands Ash and get ready for dinner." As Ash ran to the bathroom to do so. Mewtwo gazed nervously at the smiling woman. "Why don't you wash up too? I'm sure you're hungry." Mewtwo's stomach growled. As it was still very young, his powers used a lot of energy and he played for a long time with Ash and the other Pokemon. He floated in the direction Ash went in, with Delia smiling at the bond forming between the young Pokemon and her son. After Ash showed him how to wash his hands, they both sat at the table as Delia brought out some filleted Magikarp with a side of mashed potatoes and glasses of milk. Mewtwo nervously bit into the meat as Ash eagerly tore into his meal, and Mewtwo's eyes widened at the delicious flavor. Both Mew and Mewtwo had feline attributes; including a taste for fish.
After he also quickly devoured the fish Delia surprised the two with a cookie. Mewtwo had heard of "cookies" from Amber, but had not tasted one before, and was surprised at the sweetness of the chocolate-chip cookie. He loved it!
He was a proud and silent hunter, stalking his prey at night. He slunk silently in the darkness, tail twitching in anticipation. His eyes were locked onto his target above him. He took a quick glance at his surroundings. Seeing nothing that could alert his presence, he leaped up onto a counter and stared at his prey. All his senses were now locked onto his prey. It was unaware.
With a small mew, he leaped onto his prey!
Then the lights were flipped on, and Delia Ketchum stood in the entryway of the kitchen as Mewtwo stared at her bashfully, hand literally in the cookie jar. He pulled it out quickly and slunk down, tail scraping the floor.
"I know you really liked the cookie, dearie, but you can't go crazy on them." Delia said, stroking his head between his horns, "Too much of a good thing can make it bad; like eating too many cookies can make you sick."
"They can? But it tasted good!" Mewtwo asked, yawning slightly. Delia smiled and led him to Ash's room, where he climbed in next to Ash and curled up and dozed off.
The next morning, Mewtwo was hiding behind Ash as they were in Professor Oak's lab. Next to him was Lance' champion of Kanto and Johto, and Charles Goodshow; president of the Pokemon League.
"It seems Mewtwo was a fortunate discovery, if what he said about being cloned from Mew's DNA is true." Lance said, as his eyes stared at the psychic Pokemon.
"True. The League didn't fund any cloning project, so I fear what was behind his creation." Charles said with a serious look, but his eyes warmed and he smiled as he saw the 6 year old boy comforting the Pokemon.
Oak was going through some things he took safely from Mewtwo (with his permission) to register him. A blood sample to check for diseases, and a strand of hair. "It's a psychic type alright." Oak said, looking at the results, "He's still young and is going to grow in both size and power, matching the little we know of Legendary Pokemon."
"Like Mew?" Mewtwo asked, eyes shining in curiosity as he heard something related to what it was made from.
Charles Goodshow moved over and knelt down. He could tell that even though the young Pokemon was nervous, he had a lot of potential. As did this future trainer. "Yes. Maybe you two will even meet Mew one day!" This got a grin from both Mewtwo and Ash. They couldn't wait.
Just Four years to go...
Alright! I said Mewtwo is Young, about the size of "baby Mewtwo" from the deleted scene from the first movie, which I referenced with Amber, Bulbatwo, Squirtletwo, and Charmandertwo. Fun fact: Those three Pokemon have the same markings as the Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard used by Mewtwo in that movie.
As for Mewtwo, he is currently Level 1, like all baby Pokemon.
His moveset is: Laser Focus, Psywave, Confusion, Disable, Safeguard, and Shadow Ball (TM). Except for the TM move, all of those ARE moves Mewtwo learns at level 1 according to Bulbapedia.
Next chapter, being 4 years later, has Mewtwo learning a few TMs from Lance and Goodshow, along with being at Level 8. He learns Swift (level up at 8), Flamethrower (TM), and Ice Beam (TM).
