Mewtwo's Perfect World

Mewtwo was very high up now. The wind brushed hard against his face as he began to soar higher and higher into the clouds. A blue streak of light appeared out of his back, but it quickly dissolved itself and disappeared. He passed what looked to be several other winged ponies at incredible speed. They were all amazed by the speed of this 'pony' they thought him to be, but none of them could see him close enough to realise that this creature was actually not of their world.

Mewtwo observed his surroundings for a few minutes. It wasn't long before he saw a very large mountain in the distance that seemed to be deserted. He followed his eyes to the mountain, and found a small clearing outside a very large cave. Calmly, he then began to fall ever so slowly, and levitate himself down towards the clearing. With a very quiet but powerful thud, Mewtwo landed on the rocky ground. He looked over the horizon and saw what needed to be seen.

A new world.

The sun was now shining very high up in the sky, casting its warmth glow upon a small town below. This wasn't the same sun to Mewtwo however. It felt different, as if it were... alive? He looked beyond the town, and saw a vast countryside that stretched all the way towards the horizon. On the very edge of the horizon, he saw another mountain, and another settlement. But this wasn't just a town, it was a city. Clear blue water ran from beneath its buildings towards its meadowlands from below. Its tall and powerful towers almost touched the clouds above it. This wasn't a city to Mewtwo, but a beacon of light, to its land below. Mewtwo was captivated by this world.

This place is... beautiful. But what right have I to live in this world?...

Mewtwo instantly remembered what had just transpired, and what he had just about done to those six innocent creatures. His mind was not in the right state. He thought those creatures were plotting against him, but they were simply taking care of him.

Mewtwo sighed deeply and looked back down towards the small town below and began to observe it with much more detail. It looked very small, but seemed very busy. Mewtwo calmed his mind and focused his thoughts to the town. There were more of those things he had seen before; very small, bright, colourful and 'happy' creatures. Mewtwo's mind then began to focus his mind deeper, as if he were literally seen moving around in the town. Everything seemed... happy. He ignored the creatures and moved on towards a very large tree.

Then he saw them again. Those six creatures. They huddled close together and followed each other into a large tree. Who were these creatures, and why were they so important? Mewtwo suddenly realised that this wasn't just a tree, it was a home of some sort. These creatures must be intelligent, thought Mewtwo. His curiosity eventually got the better of him, and flew over towards the window of the tree. He looked through the window, and saw the purple creature he remembered as being called 'Twilight' locking the door, and then moving over to where Mewtwo was standing and closing the window. As she began to turn, she suddenly stopped and looked back up towards the window.

Impossible...

Twilight then just shrugged her shoulders and trotted back towards her friends. Mewtwo was amazed by these creatures, Twilight in particular. She held such... power. Mewtwo knew of course that these were not humans, nor were they Pokemon. It was as if they were... both. Mewtwo shook his head and simply levitated himself threw the wall. Twilight suddenly began to speak.

"Okay girls, with the events that we just witnessed, I think it's safe to say that this... Mewtwo... is a threat to Ponyville, and even Equestria." The other creatures nodded their heads in agreement. Twilight continued. "Now, I think the right option here is to notify Princess Celestia at once about the potential danger that we could all be in by this... Mewtwo, and -" The rainbow coloured creature whom he also remembered was 'Rainbow Dash' suddenly cut her off.

"A 'potential threat'? 'POTENTIAL?!!' You saw what that thing did, Twilight! It completely destroyed Fluttershy's cottage! This thing is one hundred percent dangerous, and it's gotta be stopped!" Rainbow Dash then clutched her hooves and beat them together. Mewtwo chuckled at this remark. Thinking that these creatures could stop him was almost laughable.

"Well... don't you remember what happened afterwards? He apologised, even volunteering to fix everything! Now I know that everything looks bad, and the Princess should definitely know about this..."

This was the third time that Mewtwo had heard of this 'Princess Celestia'. He wondered if this 'Princess' was some sort of guardian to these creatures. Either way, Mewtwo had no interest in meddling with these creatures, whatsoever. He wanted to be alone. He wanted peace.

"... but I have a feeling that this thing can be reasoned with! Now here's what I think we should do: Firstly, we...."

Before Mewtwo could hear the rest of Twilight's sentence, a sudden loud roar burst through Mewtwo's mind, causing him to lose focus and end up losing his connection to Ponyville and what to Twilight was about to say. He opened his eyes, and turned from where he was standing to see a very large creature standing towards the entrance of the cave. This creature was ten times the size of Mewtwo. Its eyes were a very dark orange, looking almost similar to a sun at sunset. Its body was composed of red scales, and it had two very large wings coming out of its back. Mewtwo knew that creature was also no Pokemon, but a dragon.

The beast then roared a second time, but this time it letting out a burst of red flames and black smoke from its mouth. The flames encircled Mewtwo, making him totally unseen from sight. The dragon looked satisfied with itself, as if he had defeated this strange creature. But this was not the case. Suddenly, through the flames, Mewtwo raised his hand and cast the flames aside, leaving the beast looking completely shocked and surprised about the power this creature possessed.

"I do not want to hurt you," Mewtwo said, lowering his arm. The beast took no notice of his warning however, and readied itself to charge. Mewtwo simply stood there, with no fear. The dragon then sprang, trying to knock him off the side of the mountain. Mewtwo was prepared for this, though. With one hand, he raised his arm and caught the dragon by the snout. His eyes suddenly turned blue, his psychic powers ready. The dragon twisted and turned in fear, struggling to break free from this trance. With one push, Mewtwo cast the dragon back into the cave from where it came. Mewtwo then saw the look on the dragon's face: terror. The dragon suddenly lifted its wings and flew past Mewtwo, causing him to jump aside. The dragon then flew off behind the mountain and away from him and from sight.

Mewtwo was once again left to decipher what had just happened to him. The dragon had tried to attack him, and when it realised that it could not stop his power, it flew away in fear. Even with this creature making the first move against Mewtwo, and even with his warning, this still left a pain his heart. Realising his actions, he once again rose himself up and flew away from the mountain.

What... have I done?

Mewtwo flew very far and wide to find a single solidary cloud, cast off from the rest of its neighbours. This cloud felt significant to Mewtwo. It reminded him of himself. Very sofly, he landed on the cloud. But he was not alone.

"Hey mister! Um, what are you doing up here?"

Mewtwo turned his head quickly to find a small winged creature next to him. The creature looked startled by his sudden stare, but then gave him a very nervous smile. This one looked very different to the others he had seen. This one's coat was grey, similar to his own colour. It had a very faded brush of yellow hair, and its eyes were somewhat 'cross-eyed'. What amazed Mewtwo most about this creature was what it had possessed on the side of its leg.

Bubbles. Just... bubbles.

Mewtwo was absolutely amazed by this creature. He simply stared into its oddly shaped eyes, simply waiting for it to scream in terror and fly away. But it did not. It would not.

"Why... do you not fly away?" Mewtwo asked silenty. The small grey creature looked confused, giving him a strange look, as if she hadn't already.

"Um, because... I was just wondering... what you were doing up here?" the creature puzzled. It now looked very confused. Mewtwo tried to find words to say.

"Does my presence not frighten you? Does my unatural appearance not strike you with fear?"

"Umm well I am kind of curious as to knowing what you are exactly... but no, I guess I'm not afraid!" Mewtwo could hear this creature speaking the absolute truth. He was astounded.

"I am not like other creatures. I... am not even of this world," Mewtwo said softly. The small winged creature tilted its head sideways in a very confusing manner. He continued. "I have been looking for a place to call my home. A place where I may live in peace... away from the world."

"Golly mister, why in Equestria would you want to live away from all of this?!" the winged creature asked. Mewtwo simply sighed and looked towards the horizon.

"I... am a clone. A copy, a product of science. I am an outcast... so I must live as an outcast, if I am to live at all." The small grey creature then decided that this being needed some comfort.

"Oh no, I think everypony will learn to accept you if you just open up to them a little. I know I did!" The creature's mouth then turned into a smile. Mewtwo shook his head and repeated himself.

"I am not of this world. I can never belong." Mewtwo then sighed and turned his head back towards the small winged creature. Curiously he asked "What... is a pony?"

The creature looked very surprised by Mewtwo's question, then suddenly burst out laughing. The small creature found itself hard to answer his question without trying not to laugh.

"Mister, what do you mean 'what's a pony'?! I'm a pony! This world is full of them, mister! My name is Derpy, by the way. What's your name?" Derpy asked brightly.

Mewtwo just stood and stared at her, with his eyes serious and determined. Derpy thought that maybe it wasn't such a great idea to ask for its name so rudely. Derpy's smile then turned into a frown as she looked down towards the ground nervously. Suddenly, Derpy heard a small chuckle coming from Mewtwo. She looked up and saw him still staring at her, but with the smallest kind of smile you could ever see on one's face.

"I... am Mewtwo."

Derpy's smile then turned into a grin. She had just made a new friend. A friend who was also the most powerful Pokemon that ever lived.
