In the weeks that followed, Giovanni tirelessly trained Mewtwo in harnessing his new powers. He had a special suit of armor made to bring out his full potential. It was also a means of controlling him, but Mewtwo didn't know that.
At first, the Pokémon complained of its restrictive nature.
You say this armor protects my body, but it suppresses my powers, he protested.
"Your powers are not being suppressed," Giovanni corrected, "They're being focused. Learn to use them to accomplish your purpose."
What is that? Mewtwo demanded.
"Patience, my friend," Giovanni placated him, "Your purpose will become clear."
Mewtwo decided to trust the man's advice and wait to see what the future would hold.
To test out the new armor, Giovanni arranged to send the Pokémon out into his first battle at the Viridian City Gym that very same day. An Onix, with its hopeful trainer looking to win their final badge, would be Mewtwo's opponent. Both Pokémon faced off each other and waited for the signal.
The Team Rocket leader only needed to snap his fingers and Mewtwo obediently followed the command. The armor lit up with a blue aura and his eyes glowed eeriely from behind the helmet. Onix began to glow as well and the Rock Snake Pokémon found itself paralyzed. The psychic attack left it roaring with pain.
It was no match for Mewtwo's inconceivable strength and he sent it smashing into a wall.
So, this is my power...
He was in awe of his own abilities. He felt exhiliration running through his body. He was on top of the world. What else could he do?
The training continued on daily in this same manner for some time. Mewtwo eagerly went out on every mission Giovanni tested him with. Each new discovery of his skills was like an adrenaline rush.
He felt he was unstoppable. No one could defeat him.
I am in control now.
Someone else thought differently, however. Giovanni was pleased the Pokémon was performing far beyond his expectations. It would not be long before he became the perfect slave. He would turn him into an obedient war machine capable of crushing his enemies.
What Giovanni didn't count on was Mewtwo was striving towards his own goal. The desire to keep seeking his place in the world was the fuel of his ambition and passionate drive. He would continue to persevere.
As time wore on, a monotonous pattern to his life set in and Mewtwo's patience began to erode. He had been waiting and waiting, but it was more obvious with each day the answers would not be forthcoming. He was no closer to realizing his objective than when he started all those weeks ago.
Now I fully perceive my power, but... what is my purpose?
He grew despondent and bitter. He incessantly questioned Giovanni of revealing his true reason for being here, but the man would sidestep him. Mewtwo began to suspect he was hiding something.
Giovanni was growing tired of his whining, but he did not want to tip his hand just yet. He had to keep him in the dark long enough to eventually break him. That heart of his was strong.
He soon saw his grip slipping on Mewtwo. The Pokémon suddenly rebelled and refused to carry out any more missions. It became a battle of wills and Mewtwo's was one of the most stubborn he had ever encountered in a Pokémon, or human for that matter.
The Team Rocket leader sat fuming in his office. He was at his wit's end. Mewtwo's absurd strike was costing him a fortune.
He would squash more than his spirit if he kept this up.
"Sir, if I may," a feminine voice came from nearby, "I think I might have a solution to your problem."
A young woman of around fifteen stood at his desk. She had short blonde hair, with bangs, twisted into two fat ringlets on either side and violet eyes. She wore a white mini skirt trimmed in red and a black shirt with the Team Rocket logo. A white hat, long white gloves and white thigh high boots, all also decorated with a red band, completed the look.
"Yes, Domino, what is it?" Giovanni responded, impatiently.
"Well, word around Kanto is there is this woman who specializes in training difficult Pokémon," Domino explained, "A "Pokémon Whisperer" they call her."
He scoffed at the name, but at the same time he was intrigued.
"Go on," he urged.
"It seems she has the ability to communicate with them," she continued, "She has turned even some of the most savage Pokémon's behavior around."
Could this woman actually help him in getting Mewtwo back on track? Then again, rumors couldn't be trusted. He wouldn't let just anyone get near the Pokemon. They had to meet certain qualifications.
"009, you do realize we only rely on hard facts," he reminded her, "I didn't get where I am today by chasing phantoms. I must have solid evidence. We are dealing with a very delicate situation."
"Oh, well, um...," Domino stuttered, "I've heard she helped the Silph Co leader and our own Dr. Namba."
"There's also the time she helped a Pidgeot with its fear of heights," she rattled off, "Then there's..."
"Enough," Giovanni suddenly cut in, irratibly.
He didn't need any more convincing. He knew he must have this "Pokémon Whisperer" in his employment. He was willing to try anything at this point.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"She lives in Saffron City, at the Saffron Gym," Domino replied.
The Psychic Sabrina ran that gym. Was this woman Psychic too? It didn't really matter much to him as long as she could produce results. Perhaps it might work better if Mewtwo found her on his level.
"Send for her at once, 009," Giovanni ordered, tersely.
The last several weeks had seemed to drag for Ki. She listened and watched observantly for any information leading to Giovanni or Mewtwo's whereabouts. There was only torturous silence. It was starting to drive her insane.
She had to refrain from recklessly trying to find them. She fervently hoped the Pokémon wasn't in any danger. She convinced herself as long as she wasn't hearing anything at all, maybe he actually was safe.
No news was good news, right?
It was early one morning as Ki, Mew and Sabrina sat down to have breakfast there came a ring at the front door. The gym wasn't open yet for trainers, so anyone trying to gain entry would need to knock.
Sabrina sighed, got up and walked out of the dining room to check. She returned moments later.
Ki, it's for you, she informed her.
That meant there was another trainer in need of Ki's services. The young woman stood to her feet and started to make her way to the front door.
Try to make it quick, okay? Sabrina added, Your food will get cold.
Yes, mommy, Ki replied, cheekily.
Don't you sass me, young lady, Sabrina retorted, playfully.
Ki stuck out her tongue and giggled. She didn't know why, but today she felt in much higher spirits.
As she neared the entrance, she could see through the glass door a young teenaged girl with short fat blonde curls. She wore a dark pink jacket with olive green cargo pants and a matching dark pink and white hat. She also carried a lilac purple backpack.
The young Psychic could feel something was off about the girl even before she approached her. She was standing there waiting impatiently, but it was her posture that made Ki bring up her guard. She was behaving rather suspiciously.
The moment the girl noticed her, however, her entire demeanor changed. Her blond curls bounced as she danced around and all but threw herself at Ki when she finally stepped outside. The young woman was unnerved, to say the least, and immediately distanced herself from the crazy girl.
"Like, oh my god, it's you!" the teenager squealed, "I can't believe I finally get to meet my idol! I am such a huge fan of yours!"
Ki was aware she had garnered a small fame of sorts, but this is not what her work was all about. She didn't do this for any kind of attention or money. She did it to help the Pokémon who needed her.
If she did have a fan club, she wasn't sure if she would want this girl as president.
"Um, thank you," Ki stumbled, "And you are...?"
"Oh, my name is Domino," the girl bubbled, "Pleased to meet you."
Her voice dripped with such an overly syrupy sweetness that it made Ki sick to her stomach. She was about as real as the artificial plants in the lobby.
"It's nice to meet you, Domino," the young woman replied, wanly, "Obviously, you seem to know me already."
"You do such amazing work with Pokémon," Domino praised, "When my boss heard, he sent me right over with a job offer for you."
"He's a very busy man," she continued, "See, he runs the Viridian City Gym and has this Pokémon who has lately become, how should I put it... a pain in the ass."
Giovanni.
The name struck Ki's mind like a bolt of lightning. Was the Pokémon Domino mentioned Mewtwo? Outwardly, she maintained her calm composure, but inside she was screaming with everything she had.
At last, she found them.
"Is that why you came looking for me?" Ki inquired.
"My boss knew with your expertise and knowledge, you could correct this behavior," Domino confessed, "He would be honored if you came to stay and be its trainer. He would pay you handsomely."
This would mean leaving home.
Ki swallowed against the lump suddenly forming in her throat. Even with all the times she retreated to the barn to be alone, she had always been able to go back. If she took the job, who knows how long before she got to see Sabrina and Mew again.
"Wait here, please," she quietly instructed Domino, "I'll only be a moment."
As the girl watched dumbfounded, the young woman walked inside the building and returned to the dining room, fighting tears along the way. When she appeared in the doorway, Sabrina and Mew both smiled, but those smiles vanished the moment they saw her face. She was nearly as white as a sheet.
Ki, what's wrong? Mew inquired, worriedly, You look like you've seen a ghost.
I've found Giovanni, Ki whispered, And Mewtwo.
The Pokémon flew over to her side and wrapped herself around the young woman's neck. Sabrina also came forward and gathered her into a hug. Ki lost her battle with the tears as she savored their embrace.
That girl outside... she works for Giovanni, she shuddered, I think... they're having some kind of problem with Mewtwo. That's why she's here, because I help with difficult Pokémon.
She took a deep breath before delving into the hardest part. Her heart contracted painfully with the thought.
I would have to leave home, she added, softly.
Oh, Ki..., Sabrina breathed, hugging her tighter, There comes a time when everyone must go on a journey. This one is yours.
Am I making the right decision? Ki questioned.
Ki, ask yourself this, Mew interjected, Are you doing it because you think you have to or because you want to?
Ki fell silent as she shifted through her thoughts. She did have a choice. No one could force her to go if she didn't want to. She could tell Domino she couldn't take the job for whatever reason.
In her heart, however, she knew she could never go through with that option. She would never forgive herself if she walked away from someone who probably needed her most right now.
She made her decision.
I want to, she declared, firmly, I want to be there for Mewtwo like you and Sabrina were there for me.
Mew smiled, but in her eyes there were tears. She would miss Ki something fierce, but she knew this is what she was destined to do.
Then go, the Pokémon urged, Go help Mewtwo.
A smile broke over Ki's lips and she gently pressed her face to Mew's. She then kissed Sabrina's cheek. The older Psychic squeezed her shoulders affectionately, her own eyes filled with tears.
Don't worry about us, she assured, We'll be just fine.
You guys are the best, Ki sniffled, wiping away the last of her tears, Thank you.
She gave them one last hug and then made her way back to the gym's front door. Domino was still there, but she was pacing angrily. Ki definitely did not like this girl. She was going to have to keep her distance now they were both going be working for Giovanni.
As before, Domino's entire behavior instantly flipped when she spotted Ki arrive. She plastered the biggest, fakest grin on her face the young woman had ever seen. She wondered when she would finally drop the act and reveal her true nature.
"So, have you made your choice?" Domino pressed, "I really don't have all day."
You'll have all day if Giovanni says you do.
If he was the kind of man Ki figured him to be, what he wanted, he usually got. It made her wonder how much of a spoiled brat he was as a child.
"I have decided to take your offer," she declared, "Please allow me one half hour to prepare and pack."
Domino almost scowled, but she kept up her pretense. Giovanni better appreciate her for all the garbage she had to go through with this woman.
"Fine," she pouted, "Half an hour. Then we leave."
It seemed Ki had finally cracked through her façade. This was the real Domino she was seeing coming out now. She smiled at her almost derisively.
"I promise," she vowed, "I will be ready."
Once again, Ki left the teenager standing outside, where Domino nearly threw a temper tantrum.
"Of all the nerve of that woman!" she screamed into her wristcom, "Ordering me around!"
"009, calm yourself," came Giovanni's tinny voice, angrily, "You are on a mission and that mission was to bring her to me. I don't care how."
"You have no idea how humilating it was," Domino snapped, "And my face hurts."
Amused laughter rang over the wristcom. It only infuriated her further. She was so glad she could be a source of entertainment for him.
"Quit being so dramatic," he chided, "Prepare for the arrival of our guest. You know what to do. I will see you back at Headquarters."
Domino chuckled evilly as he hung up. It was time for a little payback. She would have the last laugh now.
True to her word, Ki showed up at the front door half an hour later. She carried a small suitcase with most of her belongings. Once again, Domino pretended to be this stupidly happy girl while she escorted the young woman to a waiting helicopter nearby.
Ki was mildly impressed. It wasn't everyday she got to ride in a helicopter.
"You came in this?" she gestured to the aircraft.
"Of course," Domino answered, smugly, "My boss insists on nothing but the best for his clients."
Ki wondered what other "special" treatments Giovanni provided. She suddenly sensed Domino approaching from behind and whipped around in time to catch the girl's wrist. A strip of cloth and some rope fell from her hands.
The teenager was clearly caught off guard by her actions. She had never seen a human move that fast in her life.
"What are you doing?" the young Psychic demanded.
"Um, blindfolding and restraining you?" Domino answered, meekly.
"Why?" Ki pressed, "Surely you would think I already know the way to Viridian. That's not where we're going, is it?"
Domino painfully wrenched her hand out of her grip. She winced, rubbing the area around her wrist. The petite young woman was a lot stronger than she appeared.
"Ugh, fine," she resigned, disgustedly, "I am taking you to the Team Rocket secret base in the mountains outside of Viridian."
Ki had a feeling this is where it was leading to. Now she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Giovanni was the organization's leader. Proving it, however, would be nearly impossible. He covered his tracks well.
"Look, can you at least wear the blindfold?" the teenager implored, "Also, keep your mouth shut that I told you. My boss wouldn't be too happy if he knew I blabbed."
Ki had little sympathy for the hellion. Still, it would be wise to play along for the sake of keeping her job. This was her only option to help Mewtwo.
"Yes, I will wear the blindfold," she yielded, "You have my word. I will not tell your boss you revealed your base's location to me."
A blindfold wouldn't have stopped Ki anyway from navigating where the helicopter was going. She still had her other senses and Domino had no idea she possessed psychic powers. She intended to keep it that way.
Domino grinned maliciously and tied the piece the cloth around the young Psychic's head.
"No peeking," she reminded.
Ki allowed the girl to guide her inside the aircraft and escort her to a seat. Domino was tempted to purposely steer her into objects, but decided she would seek retribution some other time. They had a schedule to keep and were already running behind.
She sat the young woman at the rear and then took her own seat at the front. She gave instructions to the pilot and within moments, the helicopter was in the air. It turned southwest and sped off towards Viridian City.
There was no turning back now. For the first time since this whole ordeal began, Ki was nervous. She hoped... No, she did make the right decision. There was no doubt of it in her heart.
Here goes... everything.
