[Animeverse, does not remember life before captivity]

[inharmonic]

I was forgotten?

It's okay. Why are you looking at me like that? It's okay, it's fine.

It's easy to forget me. I only exist in this world, four walls, my castle, and the garden, when Father lets me...

It's easy to forget me. You're out in that big, big world, so full of evil. I'm safe inside. I remember everyone who comes here, but someone who goes out, they won't remember. Won't remember me, so many bigger things to remember. For you.

... only natural! Natural. Natural. You'll remember that name, Natural, everyone will, when that night comes. Father tells me so.

[The boy's words worry Ana, but she's not sure where to start approaching them.

He's a little like her, in some ways. There was a time she was scared to go out into the world, too.]

There's scary, evil things outside… but I think there are good things, too.

'Natural'… is that your name? I'm Ana.

I won't forget you…No one should be forgotten.

[inharmonic]

... Ana.

[He turns those hollow eyes to her, staring for a long while before blinking owlishly, as if he isn't used to seeing other children. It takes him a while to speak again:]

... it's okay to forget. Maybe the good things will push my memory out, that's okay too.

... what kind of things do you like? [His voice drops out, weak from lack of use.]

[pkpollyana]

[It wasn't the first time she'd been stared at, but it still made her feel a little uncomfortable. She fiddled with the hem of her dress, not quite brave enough to return the gaze.]

I…don't think people should be forgotten so easily…

[She glanced up as his voice faded a bit, taking a moment to reply.]

Um, I… I like playing the piano, and reading the Bible… What about you, Natural?

[inharmonic]

[He doesn't say anything to that and doesn't understand the reason for her lowered gaze.]

Pi... ano? [He repeats it slowly, quietly, looking confused.] Bi-ble? [After a moment, he shakes his head slowly.] I like reading too. Books on science and... Father reads to me. Mythology.

... w-was there something wrong your dress?

[pkpollyana]

[She nodded a little as he repeated her words.]

You've not seen a piano before…? They're big instruments that make music when you press the keys.

I've not read many books on science, but… there are lots of books I want to read.

A-ah, um…no, my dress is fine.

[Realising her fidgeting, she clasped her hands together instead, not wanting to look uncomfortable.]

[inharmonic]

... music? Vibrations, sound waves.

I never saw a piano. Music too... is it nice?

I could share books. We could read together! [This idea makes him smile, excited.]

[150th]

Who is your father, child?

[inharmonic]

[Oh, a Pokemon! You're not scary! The boy smiles brightly.]

Lord Ghetsis Harmonia.

Who're you?

[150th]

I am Mewtwo. I was created by humans, as I suspect you were.

[inharmonic]

... created?

Genetically engineered?

[150th]

Yes. In my case.

[inharmonic]

In a lab? By scientists?

... do you know their names?

[150th]

Their computers told me they were led by a Doctor Fuji.

[inharmonic]

Dr. Fuji... there's a Dr. Achroma, I think he knows Father... he specializes in Pokemon too...

I wonder if they work in the same field.

What is your purpose?

I exist on the edge. Of what it means... to be a human, to be a Pokemon. My purpose is to bridge the gap and change this ugly, evil world to something better, so no human will hurt and use a Pokemon ever again! [Such high hopes placed in this one. How much of that is truth and how much of it is deception isn't clear to him yet. Now, tell us your story, Mewtwo!]

[150th]

I was created by humans who wanted to use my power for their petty competitions. This world is too corrupt to be saved. Pokemon serve their own destruction blindly.

[inharmonic]

Humans are so selfish and cruel... I'm sorry.

... too corrupt? Can't be saved?

[150th]

Starting from scratch is the only way. Humans will always be cruel. They must be eliminated.

[affectionatetype]

What if I remember?

[ Cue curious eyes. ]

[inharmonic]

[N stares for a whle into her eyes, confused. He wasn't sure whether he was seeing a human or a Pokemon, even if she was shaped like a person. He slowly started:]

I'd want to know why.

I'm nothing special, yet.

[affectionatetype]

[ Nymphia is still a little confused about that as well, not fully steady on two legs as she reaches to try and link her arm with N's. ]

Aren't all humans special somehow?

You just have to find out how.

[inharmonic]

[He grabs onto them a bit awkwardly, a little bit harshly as if trying to climb a tree.] ...?

Most humans are evil. They hurt and abuse my friends.

Don't you know? They force Pokemon to battle and get hurt. It hurts so bad... and they don't care at all.

My friends tell me so. Don't you know?
