Mewtwo's Perfect World

Time is a curious thing isn't it?

I mean, in reality it has been years, but it feels only like a few days.

One year it has been since Mewtwo arrived in the magical land known as 'Equestria'. He made the choice so long ago to find that special place to call his own, and after many years of searching, he had finally found it.

Equestria.

Peace.

Friendship.

Throughout the time he had been living in Equestria he made many friends in his travels. Although he did not come to expect or ask for it, he did eventually receive it. And he certainly did not mind. Mewtwo learned that friendship is what makes this land powerful, and so the friendships that he made with the ponies made him grow stronger every day. So strong that there may have been a few broken windows along the way...

What has happened to Mewtwo this year you might ask?

Well then, he got off to a bumpy start, that's for sure. The idea to bring Mewtwo into pony society and interact was indeed a bold choice by Twilight Sparkle. But she did have her mind and heart in the right place, and it certainly payed off.

Mewtwo began by doing simple errands for ponyfolk around Ponyville. Whether it be by helping wrap up winter, simple chores or by helping ponies in times of turmoil, Mewtwo was always there to offer aid. One time there was a scream coming from the Everfree Forest and as quick as a flash, Mewtwo leaped into action and cleared off the Timber Wolves with his Psychic powers for trying to eat three little crusading fillies for dinner.

Ponyville began to get used to Mewtwo's presence around town. And over time, the ponies actually enjoyed his company. Twilight's friends also softened up to him.

Applejack was always more than happy for Mewtwo to help out around the orchard. Even though he could clear the trees in a matter of seconds, Applejack still enjoyed the feeling of bucking and hard work.

Rarity was probably the pony that gave Mewtwo the least amount of work out of the mane six, mainly because of her Generosity. There was one time when Rarity was going through a phase to find and create formal attire that would make Mewtwo 'shine across Equestria'. Let's just say it ended badly...

Of course, Fluttershy was very timid and somewhat 'terrified' of Mewtwo's large and intimidating appearance to begin with. But over time, they both actually began to form a strong connection. Strangely, Mewtwo was actually quite good around animals. The first day he went to Fluttershy's cottage, all the woodland creatures took quite a big liking to Mewtwo, and followed him around the whole time he was there. Animals definitely helped their friendship grow over time.

Rainbow Dash was very competitive around Mewtwo. When she found out for the first time that he could actually fly without wings, she was ecstatic. The race between Rainbow Dash and Mewtwo was probably one of the biggest events in Ponyville history.

Pony VS. Pokemon.

Who would win?!

It was tied.

You heard me right, it was a tie. Although Rainbow Dash was the favourite to win, Mewtwo had this race won the whole time. It was only with Rainbow Dash's determination and heart to perform another Sonic Rainboom to catch up to Mewtwo and pass the finish line. Pinkie Pie who was the flag carrier, did a playback in her mind and found out that it was a tie. The biggest tie you could wear on your suit while you are going to the Grand Galloping Gala to have the best night ever but instead have the worst night ever because no one would dance with you or party like we do back in Ponyville but then have actually the best night ever in the end and-

PINKIE PIE!!!! I'M TRYING TO TYPE!

*Sigh*

Speaking of Pinkie Pie, of course she took a big liking to Mewtwo. The first party that she threw for Mewtwo was definitely the shortest, but still the funnest. It was still at this time that ponies were afraid of Mewtwo, and nopony would even dare to talk to him, let alone see him. But still, Pinkie always thought of Mewtwo as friend, and still does to this day.

And as for Twilight, the time and effort she put in to making Mewtwo apart of Ponyville society was indeed phenomenal. The time where she would sit down and enjoy a good book was spent showing Mewtwo around Ponyville and trying to 'convince' ponies that he was no threat to them, especially to her own friends. Now that took effort...

For Mewtwo himself, he did not know what to think about all of this. Was Twilight's plan actually working? Well, yes it was. Rather well in fact. He proved himself to be very useful around Ponyville, and somehow a good friend to many ponies.

The Grand Galloping Gala was the talk of Equestria. Twilight thought of this as the perfect chance for Mewtwo to meet Princess Celestia for the first time. Although the Princess had been regularly keeping in touch concerning Mewtwo's conditition, she still had not found the time to meet this strange new creature that landed in the Everfree Forest.

Mewtwo was made the honorary guest of honor at the Grand Galloping Gala. The meeting of the Princess did get off to a shaky start. Both powerful beings were very aware of one another, and could definitely sense the amount of power in each other So of course, both of them were a little jumpy of each other. But the power that these two had actually drew them closer together. They talked about how great power comes with great responsibility, and how the lives and fortunes of others are more important than themselves. Both Princess and Mewtwo came to respect one another, and Princess Celestia knew that Mewtwo could be trusted. But she knew that Mewtwo was like a time bomb. Push him a little over the edge, and he will explode.

The night ended with Mewtwo managing to stop what could have been the worst night ever for Twilight and her friends. When Prince Blueblood 'accidentally' bumped the Celestia statue on it's side causing it to fall, Mewtwo had his hand up and caught the statue with his Psychic powers. Rainbow Dash did have a good whine because she wanted to be the one save the day and impress the Wonderbolts, but everypony was just grateful that the entire castle didn't fall down.

It could have ended up a whole lot worse...

The events that I am about to share with you did happen to Mewtwo, Twilight and her friends, but now all wish to forgive and forget.

This is the story of Discord's return to Equestria. Don't get me wrong! To this day, Mewtwo and Discord are actually very close friends since he was reformed, both having the utmost respect for each other. But back when Discord first returned, things could not have been any worse for Mewtwo and Equestria...

You probably all know how it started. Chocolate rain in Ponyville, strange weather patterns, complete chaos everywhere. Twilight and her friends, and especially Mewtwo were called to Canterlot to meet with Princess Celestia regarding the problems in Ponyville. The problem, was an old foe of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The mischievous spirit of Disharmony: Discord.

Now Princess Celestia's plan was to use the Elements of Harmony to once again stop Discord, as she had already done in the past. But also to have Mewtwo there present, to use his Psychic powers if necessary. But when Princess Celestia revealed the crate in which the elements were contained, they had vanished.

A light cackle was heard throughout the throne room, only to reveal it's source to Discord himself. He stated that the Elements of Harmony are through a series of twists and turns, and then simply back where they began. Twilight believed the elements to be hiding in the palace labyrinth.

When Discord revealed his true form outside the labyrinth, he saw Mewtwo for the very first time. It was strange, because Discord had absolutely no idea what this creature was. But he knew one thing: It was powerful. Too powerful for Discord to have his little fun. So just to be safe, with the click of his fingers, he turned Mewtwo into stone, just like he had been for the past one thousand years. Twilight and her friends were horrified by Discord's actions, but he just laughed.

"I did say I don't turn PONIES into stone, didn't I?"

It wouldn't last long however. Even with Discord's magic, Mewtwo's stone was beginning to crack. But Discord was one step ahead. You see, he knew exactly how Mewtwo's power was so strong.

Friendship.

The magic of friendship made Mewtwo even more powerful than before, with his friendship with Twilight and her friends, even though he did not know it himself.

So how does Discord cut Mewtwo's power? He gets rid of his 'friends' of course!

One by one, through a series of twist and turns, Twilight and her friends were all manipulated and turned into their opposite selves. Lies, Unhappiness, Greed, Mean, Disloyal, Hate.

Mewtwo's power was weakened by Discord's spell, resulting in him staying stood in stone. Discord had a very special place for Mewtwo's statue in the center of Ponyville. It was not until Twilight finally discovered what her friendship meant to her, that she found the courage to reunite with her friends and break Discord's spell, using the Elements of Harmony to turn him back into stone. With a sudden cry, Mewtwo broke free from his stone prison, and also reunited with Twilight and her friends.

Discord had been stopped, and harmony flourished throughout Equestria once more.

Mewtwo had changed.

Ever since Discord was stopped, Mewtwo took a good long look at himself and what has happened since arriving in Equestria. Things could not have been so perfect for Mewtwo. This is what he had wanted!

Wasn't it?

He did not know. He did not know what to think about any of this. Was this what he was finally looking for? Through everything that has happened to him in his poor miserable life?

Mewtwo gathered Twilight and her friends, and announced that he was leaving Ponyville.

And Equestria.

He wanted to explore this new world. To still see if there was something worth while out there, other than what he had here in Ponyville. He was unsure whether he would return, but he stated that if he eventually did, then it would be because he knew that this is where he finally belonged.

Twilight was of course shocked and saddened by Mewtwo's decision to possibly never return, but she eventually agreed to his idea and praised him for it. She didn't want Mewtwo kept here against his will. She wanted him to be happy. And she knew by now that Mewtwo did not pose as a threat, and would not harm anything without acting in self defense.

Pinkie Pie of course, planned a going away party for Mewtwo. Everypony was so excited, and now more and more ponies turned up because they finally knew that Mewtwo was harmless to them. And when the day finally came, Pinkie had prepared the library in secret for a massive surprise party. The time was about to arrive when Mewtwo would set foot in the library, and the balloons and party cannon were ready and loaded.

Everypony was ready.

But that's just it.

He never showed.

Mewtwo left Ponyville without saying goodbye.

Mewtwo had his reasons. One being the fact that he wanted to know if he would miss them or not. The other was him not being satisfied with himself.

So as everypony waited for Mewtwo to arrive for Pinkie's surprise party, Mewtwo slipped away into the night. He would not see them again for a very long time.

Until the day they needed him.

And he needed them.
