I held Mewtwo's gaze, breathe caught in my chest. I don't know how long it lasted, but..
It was only broken when Mewtwo raised his arms and with a simple sweep of them, the massive inferno raging around him was quelled.
"Behold human, my psychic powers!" Mewtwo declared straight up at me, all but ignoring Pidgeot, "I am the strongest pokemon in the world! Even more powerful than Mew!"
I suppose it was supposed to sound very grand. Intimidating. A declaration of absolute, unquestionable power.
Yet-
"Which one?" I replied, gesturing for Pidgeot to lower down, to land in front of the pokemon. My starter and partner did so, completely unbothered by Mewtwo's showing.
To him after all, he had no idea just what kind of beast of a pokemon Mewtwo truly was.
Though, even as I slid out of the saddle atop Pidgeot's back to face Mewtwo, my mind was racing, 'What the fuck am I doing?!' I panicked, and cursed myself for my big mouth.
I should be running for the hills. Bringing out Exeggutor and teleporting the fuck away, as far away as possible.
Yet instead, I'm standing here facing Mewtwo of all fucking pokemon!?
"…What?" Mewtwo narrowed deep blue eyes at me, head cocking slightly to the side, "What do you mean?"
"You said you're stronger than Mew," I forced myself to raise a brow questioningly, forcing all terror and panic deep beneath a veneer of casual confidence, "What one? I know of at least three.
Mewtwo blinked ever so slowly, and was silent. I had to resist the urge to smirk at catching him off guard. "I…I am stronger than all of them." the clone finally responded.
"Most likely," I nodded, agreeing, "Out of all the Mew's I know about, only one of them is a good fighter."
"Then…it is true then, I am the strongest." Mewtwo concluded.
"Eh," I shrugged, and decided to go for broke, "No you're not. Don't get me wrong. Your absurdly powerful. One of the strongest pokemon ever for sure. But, far from the strongest."
Mewtwo's eyes narrowed, "You dare, human? You have the gall to question my might?"
"No, I just told you, you're definitely one of the strongest," I grinned at him and 'casually' walked towards him, doing my level best to hide any tremors of fear, "But….You're not as strong as Dialga, Palkia or Giratina. And you're definitely not as strong as Arceus."
Mewtwo cocked his head to the other side, "I do not understand. Those scientists claimed Mew was the rarest and most powerful pokemon. Yet, what are Dailga, Palkia and Giratina? What is an Arceus?"
"They're gods," I said simply, "Arceus, is the first ever pokemon. The original one that created this world, this very universe. It created Dialga the god of time, Palkia the god of space and Giratina the god of anti-matter to give form and oversee this world."
Mewtwo reared back as if I struck him, "I….."
I pounced on that sign of weakness, "And beyond that, there is the likes of the original Rayquaza, and Groudon and Kyogre. Not to mention Zygarde," I added, "They're all legendary pokemon that are stronger than you. Well, I'd say you could give Groudon or Kyogre a run for their money. At least until they used Primal Reversion and entered their more powerful Primal forms, then you'd be vastly overpowered."
"I…I…" Mewtwo started and stopped, "I do not understand. It is my destiny to be the strongest, is it not? Then...how…"
"It's not your destiny," I said bluntly, crossing my arms, "You don't have a destiny."
As soon as the words left my lips, the air pulsed. Blue light flashed, and I found myself forced to my knees, as if the very sky itself was pressing down on me.
"GEOT!?" Pidgeot barked angrily, flaring his wings wide and preparing to fight, before I held up my hand to stop him.
"You mock me human?" Mewtwo all but hissed, towering over me, eyes glowing a bright blue with power, "You speak nonsense to confuse me. No doubt, you cannot stand it. A clone with such a destiny! I tell you human, I may be a clone, but what is my purpose then, if not to be the most powerful!"
I grit my teeth and forced my neck up against the weight to look up into Mewtwo's eyes, before clenching my fists and pushing up against the weight forcing me down. My legs trembled, but slowly I rose against the psychic power holding me down, "You don't have one," I repeated, lifting a trembling hand to point straight between his eyes, "Beyond a few legendary pokemon, nobody does!"
All of a sudden, the power pressing down on me sputtered and died. Mewtwo's arms fell limp at his side and he stared at me wide eyed, "Then…what is the point of me?"
I palmed my forehead, "Fucking scientist morons," I huffed. Then I did the crazy. I spread my arms wide and wrapped them around the much taller cloned pokemon, hugging him, "You've had it rough, huh?"
Mewtwo stiffened, "Unhand me human! Do you think your feeble strength could harm me?"
"It's just a hug you moron," I squeezed my arms slightly around him, "I'm trying to comfort you here."
"…I….why?" Mewtwo gave the most confused look I'd seen in my life. Which was quite the grand feat considering I'd looked at myself in the mirror when trying to remembering something with my Goldeen memory.
"Cuz you clearly need it," I said. I stayed like that for a moment more, before letting go and sighing, running a hand through my hair, "You've practically just been born. It's no wonder you're so lost and confused despite all your power and intelligence."
"I am a clone, I was not birthed," Mewtwo instantly replied, yet stepped back from me, almost as if scared. Which would be hilarious, to have Mewtwo scared of me, if it were not so sad, "I was cloned from the DNA of Mew."
"And?" I crossed my arms and raised my brow challengingly, "It shows how little you know of reproduction. You might have come from a test tube and not womb or an egg, but you were born into this world like anyone else. You realise, everyone is a clone practically? The genes of the parents are what are used at the basis to create life. You're not some copy or fake just because you were born a different way. You're simply the child of Mew and human science."
