Mew: The Catalyst (PG 13)

Guest
This is my first fic. It will follow the path of the games, starting with the RBGY (With some elements from FR and LG thrown in, including the Sevii Islands), GSC, Coloseum, RSE, XD, and will continue. I will be using characters from the manga, only I will make them have different personalities and goals.

This epic (I'm calling it that because it will be very long) will be rated PG 13 for violence, occasional strong language, and other generic PG 13 things.

Please critique. Constructive criticism welcome

I only have the prologue so far. Enjoy!

Red, Blue, Green, Yellow: The Kanto Saga!



Prologue



It was night on an island south of Kanto and just north of the Sevii Archipelago. A woman dressed in the traditional blue and purple robes of a cleric of Mew stumbled through the undergrowth of jungle interior of the island. She was part of a sect that protected the decadent temple in the very center of the isle. The clergy had heard noises in the jungle that sounded like shooting early that day. They were sending clerics out to find the intruders. About two hundred yards away another cleric, a young man, made his way through the foliage.

Then suddenly, a vine grabbed him around his ankles. It hoisted him up into the canopy. It was a bell shaped plant with two vine appendages, a Victreebel. He squirted deadly acid on the cleric who quickly dissolved. A man in a black uniform with a red R on its front stood on a nearby branch. He took a pokeball off his belt and recalled the carnivorous plant. He took another pokeball and released a green mantis-like pokemon, a Scyther.

The man pointed at the other cleric, who was now running, and commanded “Don’t let her get away! Eviscerate her!” The cleric called out an Abra, and grabbed on to her shouting a command to teleport. But before they disappeared and the air rushed into the resulting vacuum with a loud crack, the Scyther pierced his scythe-like appendage into the young woman’s heart and across her chest.

An elderly man, the High Cleric of the sect, stood at the stairs of the crumbling, overgrown ruins. He heard the screams of death and pain from the scattered clerics. He stood ready for combat, his staff at the ready, though it was likely to be useless. Suddenly he heard the dull thud of displaced air and a young cleric and an Abra appeared next to him. The woman gasped in pain. She sputtered and gurgled “We’re under attack!” Blood then spilled from her mouth, and she moved no more.

The man said a prayer for her soul, and turned his attention to the underbrush. Several men and women dressed in black uniforms burst out of the underbrush. One of the people stepped forward. He wore a weird electric visor and spoke in a cold and hating voice. “Give up Mew and we shall let you go die quickly”.

The High Cleric shook his head and said “I would rather die than give up my goddess to you fiends.”

“Then you shall.” A Beedrill flew down from behind and stung the cleric in the back. He fell to the ground, shaking.

The man in the uniform smirked. “I have genetically altered my Beedrill” he said as he recalled the wasp-like pokemon. “His venom is extremely potent. You will be dead soon.

Just then the air rippled with a bright light. A pink cat like creature hovered in the air. It was Mew. Her eyes shone bright. Rays of energy shot from her form, striking the people. Many of them were killed, but most fled through the jungle. She flew after them, picking a few off. When they reached the beached, they jumped into helicopters or waded out to and entered a large submarine. Mew shot down the helicopters with ease, which fell burning into the ocean. She used her powers to create a massive burst of water that surfaced the submarine. She then rammed the craft onto a large rocky outcropping. The submarine split in two and the pieces sank into the sea.

Mew looked back into the jungle where the slain clerics lay. She told their souls they had fought well and would be awarded in the afterlife. She reminisced that she must finish her task. Her first chosen, one in the first four of her first set of chosen. Her chosen would all have mighty destinies, to be great pokemon trainers and face dire peril and do good things. She had to witness the child being born and bestow her blessing on it. She reached out with her senses. She sensed a pregnant women north in Pallet Town, soon to give birth. She had to get there.

As she zoomed off in a hurry, the man with the visor surfaced clutching a tentacool in one hand. In the other, he held a pair of simple metal tweezers. In those tweezers, was a single piece of pink hair.


5 years later…

It was night in Kanto. On Cinnabar Island, a tall and luxurious mansion stood on a peninsula of the isle. Inside the mansion a banquet and ball was going on. Inside the ballroom, people, mostly scientists and prestigious members of TR (Team Rocket), danced and chatted. Four people stood drinking wine next to a large freshwater aquarium housing several Whiscash from the distant land of Hoenn.

Two were scientists, a dark skinned woman known as Dr. Fera and a old bald man with glasses and a white moustache known as Dr. Blaine, who had was also Cinnabar’s gymleader. The two others had donated money to the scientists for their cause. One was Juron Silph, a short brown haired man, president of the Silph Corporation, a company based on making hi-tech devices. The other was a tale blonde woman named Freila Silph, Juron’s wife.

“So how is your daughter?” Dr. Fera asked.

“Sabrina is doing fine.” Said Freila “She going through puberty has caused her power to go insane. Her doctor says to just let her develop her telekinesis on her own, no need to send her to a school for psychics or anything. She just got her first pokemon last month, a little Abra. She just loves him to death. They’re always teleporting about the city. She hardly ever uses the limo anymore. She’s also a gym trainer now, she loves working there with the psychic pokemon.”

“Speaking of psychic pokemon, may we see the creature?” Asked Juron.

Dr. Blaine hesitated “Well…”

Dr. Fera spoke “They did donate a great deal of money. They deserve to see it.”

Blaine sighed “Alright. But you must tell no one what you see. Follow me.”

They walked down a grand staircase. They then walked down a hallway and through a door that led to the basement. They walked through rooms filled with equipment until they came to the creature.

He lay on a long stretcher restrained down by metal cuffs around his limbs and neck. His short fur was purple and white and his body, vaguely feline, was sleekly muscled. His eyes remained closed. Wires were attached all over him.

“It’s wonderful!” exclaimed Juron.

Blaine said “We have genetically altered Mew to make her perfect. He is the result. His name shall be Mewtwo.”

Dr. Fera said “I think Mewtwo is a horrible name. So unoriginal.”

Suddenly the computer next to the table pinged. Mewtwo’s brainwaves were exhilarating.

“He is waking!” Blaine gasped “Don’t worry. The cuffs can hold off a huge amount of psychic energy.” Blaine checked the computer. “He seems confused. He doesn’t know where he is, or who he is.”

Mewtwo eyes opened. Telekinetic energy thrashed around the cuffs. At first, the energy did nothing. But then, the metal bent.

“Run!” Dr. Fera screamed.

Mewtwo stood and telekinetic energy whipped around, destroying machinery and imploding the computer. He starred at the people standing in front of them. They ran off. Once upstairs they shouted a warning to those upstairs, but they were not heard. They ran out the door. Mewtwo climbed the stairs to the ballroom. People stopped and stared. Mewtwo then destroyed the aquarium, spraying people with water, glass, and flailing Whiscash. People began to run and scream. One sent out a Snorlax. He blasted a beam of energy at the pokemon. It failed to penetrate the pokemon's thick skin but the pokemon fell over and slammed into the dance floor, which collapsed into the first floor, dragging people down with it. He blasted people against the windows, crashing them through. Only a few lucky ones missed the rocks and fell into the sea.

The destruction continued until everyone was dead or had fled. Mewtwo looked around at the damaged mansion and then flew off into the sky.

Hush, keep it down
Hmmmm....interesting, not bad at all. I like how it takes a different look at the origin of Mewtwo. And having Blaine plus the Silph couple as TR affiliates? Great idea! :)

Dr. Fera said “I think Mewtwo is a horrible name. So unoriginal.”

That line gave me quite a chuckle.

There is room for improvement, I'll admit, but it's a good start indeed.
 

?question?

<-Me in real life
I liked it, very nicely written.

A few things I noticed were grammatical mistakes. There were very few of them, which is why the first one made me stop and make sure it really was a mistake.

A man in a black uniform with a red R for on its front stood on a nearby branch.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you need to take out the 'for'.

I'm wondering how you feel about Mewshipping (Mew and Mewtwo together,) it would be interesting to see how you'd right it.

Keep Smiling...
I'm not even gonna attempt to read and review tonight (it's getting late). But on a brief view look through it doesn't look too bad. One word of warning, though. Don't make promises you can't keep. Think realistically a couple of months down the line... Will you really want to keep going. You're setting yourself a mighty challenge... Oh well, we'll see. A proper review coming soon!

Thanks for your reviews. Grammatical mistake edited. And I have commited myself to this. I have the plot outline down to the battle fronteir in the RSE saga. And I realized that I should do Coloseum and XD in a different fanfic because they have nothing to do with this plot. They will be set in the same version of the pokemon world as this one.

First chapter coming soon. I am guilty of piling in a lot of references only people who have played the game and paid close attention will get. But don't worry, there is still a lot for people who haven't.

Not bad for a newbie! I'm liking this so far! I stumbled on it when I saw the title. (I SO totally love Mew and Mewtwo. Especially together.)

I don't have much else to say except to keep it up! And check your spelling. There were a few errors, but otherwise it was nicely written. You must've worked hard on this. Can't wait for chapter two! *passes cake*

Sorry about talking all week. My chapter isn't done yet, as I have been extremely busy this week. It should be up tomorrow, tonight if I can.

A really original-sounding look at the Mew/Mewtwo story, and your description's great, really vivid. Mew has clerics? And your Mewtwo seems really bad-tempered. Is there any particular reason he blew up the place, or did he just feel like it? And did Blaine, Junon and the Silphs get out safely?

In this version of the pokemon world, the legendaries are deities, with the exception of human made ones such as Mewtwo and Deoxys.

I should have explained the Mewtwo is confused thing more extensively. Imagine a newborn child with awesome psychic might. Yeah.

And as I wrote, Blaine, Fera, and the Silphs ran out the door before Mewtwo destroyed much.

I guess I leave too many questions un-answered. Oops.

Here is the first chapter.

Cookies to anyone who is smart enough answer the question on the final.

Chapter I: The Final Exams.

7 years later...

The sun rose on the eastern horizon of Pallet Town. The sun reflected its beams across the waters of the vast Vermillion Bay, while the Kanto Sea to the south lay dark. Pidgey started to chirp and Rattata retreated from people trash bins.

People began to stir from their homes. One middle aged with bright red hair woman wearing judge’s robes walked out of her house down to her car, clutching papers containing records for the day’s trials at the courthouse.

Walking down the drive way of a larger neighboring house to a car was another woman. She was in her early twenties and had long brown hair and wore glasses. She was clutching maps in her hand. She was the granddaughter of Kanto’s most famous pokeologist, Prof. Oak.

The younger woman looked at her neighbor “Good morning, Mindy.”

Mindy responded with “Same to you, Daisy. But I don’t think I am going to have a very good day. A man just sued his lawyer because he lost the case.” She shook her head. “Some people are just stupid.”

Both women got in their cars and drove off.

Back in Mindy’s house, her son, a boy of 12 with black hair was asleep. His name was Red, a student the Prof. Oaks Academy of Pokemon Training. He was a 5 year student, a last year. It was Friday, the last day of school year and the day of his finals. If he passed, he would graduate and get his trainer card, a pokedex, and most importantly, a pokemon.

Tommorow was an important day as well. He would register the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League. To qualify for entry in the tournament, one must ussually obtain gym 8 badges. Red had yet to do this, and would have to travel to receive them.

An alarm clock on his bed stand projected the time onto the ceiling; 5:59. In a minute his alarm clock would wake him up. But for now, he dreamed.

A Nidorino and Gengar stood in a forest clearing, having a raging battle. Then a Venusaur stomped through a meadow sending Oddish scampering. A Charizard roared and flew over an erupting volcano. A Blastoise stalked its prey in a river, gulping down a Magikarp. A Raichu sat on a tree in a forest.

His shifting between scenes stopped at the forest. And he saw two people running through the forest. A tall man ran through the forest. He turned and the dream Red saw the he was angry. A short woman ran after the man. She turned also and Red saw she was radiant with unearthly beauty. The man’s and woman’s features started to change. Red saw that…

The alarm clock blared. Red sighed. The infernal thing never lets me finish a dream. He got dressed and headed down the stairs. Halfway down, he remembered it was the day of his finals.

“Well it looks like this is where all the learning comes to,” Red spoke to his Meowth, Tasi. Her response was a meow.

Twenty minutes later, Red had walked out the door. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a red jacket and blue jeans. He wore a cap over a head that was currently racing full of facts about pokemon in an attempt to prepare for the finals.

Cubone get their skull and bone from ancestral burial grounds…Remoraid are actually mollusks, not fish…Chimecho evolved from free floating protists…Mr. Mimes name is a misnomer, there are females…female Ariados devour the males after mating…Ditto are thought to have emerged from the primordial ooze…Under the ground, Diglett and Dugtrio look like…
His stream of thought was interrupted by a collision.

“Hey, watch where you’re going, Red,” said Green indignantly.

Green wore a dark purple shirt and green pants. He was taller than red, and had brown hair. Green had always done better then Red at many things and Red resented it. He was also always bragging about the fact that he was the grandson of Prof. Oak.

“I was thinking. You know, the thing people who don’t have genetics on their side do; so you wouldn’t know about that.”

“Actually, remember I have a higher I.Q. then you so that obviously means I can think and have genetics on my side.”

Red, outdone, fumed all the way to school. People where already entering the large two story building.

Red and Green walked to down the hallway to Mr. Hillar’s class, their pokebiology Teacher. They met Blue on the way.

She was Red and Green’s friend, they collectively were known as the Chromatic Trio by their more annoying classmates. Blue and Green had been named so by their parents (or in Blues case, step parents) because of the striking colors of their eyes. Red, whose eyes were brown, merely shrugged that his was an actual name.

Blue was slightly taller then Red, and her long red hair fell halfway to her waist. She usually wore a blue shirt, and red skirt. And her eyes always glinted with some new mischief to pull on authority figures.

“Hey guys! This year we are graduating with a bang. I have it all worked out. After we take the pokebiology final, Mr. Hillar will go to the library like he always does. Then, we will sneak in and round up those Paras his 3rd year class was studying. We shall then insert them into the ventilation. Then, tonight when we have graduated and the ceremony is over, I shall, using a small remote control, open the vats full of liquefied Sweet Scent I have placed in the ventilation directly above the auditorium. This will attract the Paras. I will then make the vats shatter, using fireworks. The Paras will react and use Stun Spore, and everyone have to leave the school, and a few teachers might get stunned” She grinned “So, what do you think?”

“I think it will go terribly wrong and someone will get hurt or even killed,” said Red

“You’re insane and should be locked up,” said Green simply. “Seriously, how do you come up with this stuff?”

Blue shrugged “Must be a gift.”

They together entered Mr. Hillar’s class. The walls were covered with cages and tanks full of pokemon. The classroom was split into two sections. One section, the lab section, was full of tables and equipment where the students learned on hands. The other section, the lecture section, was built like a college lecture hall, where the seats where located at a progressively higher level than the ones in front.

Red sat in his usually sear, near the back. On the desk next to him, which was usually vacant, sat a girl Red had never seen before. She had long blond hair tied up into a ponytail, and she wore khaki shorts and a yellow shirt. She was much shorter then Red.

One each desk today, was a lap-top consisting of a flat hologram. It had only seven keys. Forward, Back, A, B, C, D, and E. If a student had time, he or she could go back and look over his or her answers before the class was over.

“Begin,” said Mr. Hillar “And no cheating. The questions are in different order for each of you anyway.”

Several people groaned and computers sprang to life across the room.

Red looked at the screen.

Question 1
Bulbasaur eats small plants and also obtains energy from the sun. Bulbasaur is a ________________
(A): Autotroph
(B): Heterotroph
(C): A and B
(D): 42
(E): None of the above.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day had gone by. Mr. Hillar discovered people were taking finals in the library, and returned to his classroom. He caught Blue red handed. Literally; her left hand was sore and bleeding from stuffing Paras into a box during their aggressive mating season. Her punishment was that she was to pick her pokemon last.

“As long as it isn’t a Paras,” she said as she picked at her bandaged hand.

They took their finals, stopped briefly to eat their lunch, and finished the rest of the finals. At the end of the day it was time to post the results. A large screen was on the wall in the student center. People were very tense. Blue was biting the nails on her free hand almost aggressively.

The screen blinked on. There was a mad rush as people raced to see the results. Red and Blue stood stubbornly. Green waited a while until a few people dispersed and approached the screen.

Blue was having a breakdown. She shook in her seat, and her nails were very short.
Green returned, smiling.

“I passed.” He said simply.

“What about us? Red managed to say.

“You’ve pas-,” he never was able to finish the word “Passed”, as Blue and Red shot pass like two Rapidash.

They stared at the screen for a minute, as if making %100 sure they had passed all the finals. They had.

Blue immediately rejoiced, going into a little dance and chanting, “I passed”

Red saw the unknown girl from before walk away from the screen smiling.

The intercom crackled on “Whoever put the sweet scent vats and fireworks in the ventilation, please report to the auditorium. Bring a mop.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“So, apparently I sat on the remote control, and activated the detonation, and before I went home and took a shower, A Munchlax smelled me and tried to eat me.”

Red and Green burst out laughing.

“It was not funny,” Blue said indignantly, “And liquefied sweet scent mixed with Munchlax slobber is hard to get out of your hair.”

Red, Blue, and Green sat in Red’s living room. Red’s mom suddenly walked in followed by Yellow.

“Everyone, this is Yellow. Yellow, this is Red, my son. This is Green, our next door neighbor. And this is Blue, the psychotic girl from down the street.”

“And proud of it!” exclaimed Blue.

“Anyway, Yellow lives in Lefe’ Village in the Viridian forest and was taking classes for the school over the internet, and she came her to take the finals and graduate. She has nowhere to spend the night, and I know her mother so she’ll be staying with us. Well, I have another trial to look over. Bye.”

She left and Yellow sat down.

“Hi. Why are we all named after colors? Mine was my hair,” she said, indicating her blonde hair.

“Eyes.”

“Eyes.”

“Actual name.”

There laughter was cut off by an bang and a window shattering in the kitchen.

I know, I know! It's E. Because A and B are probably made-up words. (probably) And there is no way a Bulbasuar is 42.

Anyway, I read this before, like several days ago. Didn't decide to drop on by then. But now I have.

Anyway, nice story. Only you missed a couple of punctuation marks. (My specialty: grammer and punctuation.)

Here:
Same to you Daisy.
Comma after you. Because you are adressing a person.
Tomorrow he would enter the Indigo Plateau League and leave on his journey
This should be easy.
“I think it will go terribly wrong and someone will get hurt or even killed,” said Red
Yeah, this one too.
Viridian forest
It's a proper noun. Forest should be capitalized.

Well, ending remarks, pretty good for a first fic. If you wanted to lure people with cookies, then you have done it. I luff cookies. ^_^

~PEACE~

Sorry about the errors. I re wrote this as the other chapter was a bunch of scenes with Dr. Fera; but I thought chapter one would probably be a good time to introduce our main characters. Anyway I'll edit the mistakes.

And sorry, autotroph and heterotroph are actual scientific terms.

Shoot. I said 'probably' so I'm almost always wrong. I never even looked it up. But am I correct?

EDIT: Looked autotroph up. I was wrong. It's A.

EDIT2: Looked heterotroph up. I'm offically confused.

New chapter up soon. Probably sometime this weekend. I realize my story is boring. The next chapter will be exciting. I'm also working on my eloquence.

Sorry, it's not A.

It's B, then! And they're twelve and are supposed to know this? I'm guessing that this was made to stump people. It stumped me.
