Mewtwo Part 1

Artemis sighed and frowned ever so slightly as he stood right outside of his door on his farm in Rapture Retreat, it was still morning though it was soon leading into noon. The ghost had woken up at the crack of dawn, even though with this new body his problem of Insomnia faded away, it was still integrated in his mindset to not sleep much. Not that Artemis cared too much about it, he is dead afterall, though dreams were always a nice thing to have. Though this morning his normal rituals seem to feel wrong. Being someone that is one part of the spiritual world, one part of the material one. Artemis is quite superstitious, more so he greatly believes in omens and signs. This morning there were several bad omens.


The first one could technically be said to be from the day before. It was a nightmare, a waterfall of tea and a woman bathing into it, Artemis did not see any details about the woman though her silhouette seemed familiar. Before he could get a better look the woman or even get her attention the liquid turned red, the same shade as blood. That moment the liquid took the shape of wicked fangs that ripped the woman apart. That was the moment that he woke up from his slumber, only to be greeted by a Hoothoot stared straight at him through his window. To calm his nerves the Spiritomb aligned man decided to make some tea, however the cup he took cracked. After that nothing bad happened but everything  felt wrong. He did not understand why but something seemed to be off. Feeling that a walk would perhaps help, Artemis stepped outside. However  he stumbled over his doorstep another bad omen, an omen for him to stay inside for the day, all of these omens warned him to stay inside for the day. “Death, misfortune and ill news await me.” Artemis muttered as he looked up at the sky. A flock of Murkow circled around his house before flying towards Affection Atoll and Artemis merely frowned at the sight of this.


”The wind…It is heavier than normal.” Artemis muttered to himself before he hissed and snacked his hand out of his pocket, a little bit of blood was dripping from his finger.”That is..Strange.” The ghost said in confusion as he reached into his pocket to see what cut him, he did not believe he had something stored into his pocket. And yet.”…Burberry Coffee.” Artemis choked out as his breath caught into his throat, it was the business card that Maple gave him so many moons ago.” Artemis twitched and stored the card back into his pocket before running towards the edge of the cliff that his farm is located on. ‘Bad omens or not. I wish to be certain.’ Artemis thought as he jumped. The stitches located on his limbs flared up with purple flames, his flames. It was a technique that the ghost painstakingly achieved once more. Quite different from how he flew before when he was still aligned to the Banette totem but none the less an ability he has mastered once again. Necessary as well, it is much faster than walking to his destinations. And his destination was quite a bit of a distance away. ‘I only pray that my instincts are mistaken.’ Artemis thought as his willed more force behind his flames to propel him faster.


“…This does not bode well.” As he arrived at the general area around Maple’s shop he sees several inhabitants standing outside of their shops, some of them standing far closer to the small café, all of them however were whispering to each other.  Normally, Artemis would cut off his flames and drop down before alternating the force of how he dropped by flaring his flames again, this time however he did not feel like wasting any kinds of time. As such Artemis dove right in. His entrance surprised many people and they all yelled and jumped back. His impact created a dent in the snow, he must seem quite demonic. Falling from the sky before being surrounded by a cocoon of purple flames. ”My flames will not harm you.” He said to the ones around him before deftly ignoring them. They were not what was concerning him.


The shop was a complete mess. Several tables and chairs were scattered, shattered ceramic pieces and glass was scattered around the ground. Artemis took in a deep breath as he saw a figure bending over another one, seeing a that brown shade of tail the ghost strided over, ignoring the pieces that cut into his bare feet before he stood behind the person. It was a medic, he had seen the doctor around the hospital when he still regularly went there. “…What has happened here.” Artemis said, his normal soft spoken voice, shifted. The politeness was still there, but there was a hint of unbending steel behind it. The ghost would not accept any foolishness or meaningless words as an explanation.  The man turned around and let out a small ah.”I..Honesty have no idea. Her pet came running and I thought it was a wild Pokémon that was injured or something, I had hoped it wasn’t something like this. She’s the last one in a string of injuries.” The medic shook his head and signed.”I called for extra help but the snow should keep the ambulance from getting here as quick as they should, she’s not in any kind of critical condition, from a first look but I want her to get checked over. I called House to come here, but knowing him it’ll take a while.”  Artemis merely nodded and bended over the fallen female. Her head was wrapped in some bandages though the smell of blood was still handing in the air. Artemis clenched his teeth as he felt the residue of several emotions in the air..One was infact very particular and he took an note to remember it but that could wait for later. Artemis kneeled down and looked at Maple. Even unconscious she looked so troubled, Artemis frowned and clenched his teeth before starting to pick the Eevee aligned woman up. ”..Hey what are you do-“ The ghost did not stop but he did turn his head to stare at the doctor with cold, hard eyes. The Emerald orbs that were in his socked seemed to light up in the dark as Artemis deftly said.”I will carry her to the clinic. I will arrive in 15 minutes or less. Please call the clinic and say to House to be prepared for another patient.” The ghost shifted the hold he had on the woman, he made sure that her head was resting against his shoulder as he held her in a bridal carry. As he was walking outside he said one final thing to the medic.”My thanks for taking care of her as much as you have.”


The ghost ignored the mutterings in the crowd and his spiritual flames start to cocoon around him and Maple, the flickers of his fire danced around the woman’s form but not a single one burned her, without saying another world the ghost lifted himself and Maple from the ground and started his flight towards Raccalto town, more specifically the clinic. The flight was much more violent than before, not an elegant flight of flittering flames but a raging inferno that scorched the clouds and skies as it sped around the islands. As the ghost has said they arrived at the clinic in no time at all. In a burst of fire the Spiritomb aligned man entered the hospital, frightening several nurses in doctors, though one stood before him with an almost bored expression, he was infact playing his DS. The man’s pink ears flopped behind him and he only looked up for a split second before closing his handheld console and depositing it in his pocket. ”Didn’t know you’re into pyrotechs now. Wonder if I say you’ll do the special effects Metallica would come over here for a concert.” The doctor said in an almost deadpan tone.”Call back your flames, this is a hospital, you can let loose at a concert, if I get a hold of Metalica.” With that said the man hobbled into a room at the side, not bothering to wait for whatever  Artemis would react. The ghost merely nodded as he followed the Wigglytuff aligned man. “ Place her on the bed and stand aside. If you want to help stand and be a space heater, it’s pretty cold in here.” House said as he began his examinations. The spiritomb aligned man did not say a world but followed the commands of the doctor.

”Well you’ve certainly made a lot of fuss over almost nothing. She’s fine. Just need restd. She’s lucky that she doesn’t have a concussion, can’t sense any kind of psychic energy, not like other victims. She your girlfriend or something or you’ve just been a good Samaritan and picking up random chicks from the ground?”
The ghost let out a sign of relieve and shook his head.”No she is not. But she is dear to me, not a stranger.” Artemis clenched his fists and stood up before walking towards the door.”As a Doctor, officially speaking.” He stopped as he heard the Wigglytuff aligned man speak against his back.”I wouldn’t recommend going after whoever did this. You know that a Legendary hit the coop right? Went entirely coocoo and beating the crap out of anyone that looks at him wrong? Mewtwo apparently. Lots of victims coming in lately with burns, injuries caused by heavy impact, physic damage and some wounds caused by dark residue’s. As a doctor I will say you’ll  lose. Aint got a snowball’s chance in hell. You will get your ass royally kicked. And I don’t want any more unnecessary work…Unofficially speaking though, the cabinet with our medical supplies if open, two halls to the right, first door to the left. I’m incharge of inventory as punishment for skipping work but I seem to have forgotten the list at home. Whoops. Pretty sure nobody is going to miss some full restores.” Artemis let out a breath and nodded before continuing to walk out of the room.”Man..Shame that I have to stay here..Then again I’m sure I’ll just get in the way. Still though..For that guy to look this pissed? Hell I think it’s the first time I actually seen him angry, let stand pissed. This might end up quite a show. He might even beat him..Nah that’s too optimistic. Ah better prepare some treatment for him when he comes crawling back.  “ The Doctor sighed and sat in the chair next to the slumbering Maple before opening his DS once again. “Eh after I beat this gym.”
