[Action]

[It was a fine day in the deep forests of Fayren. Clear and sunny. Perfect day to be gardening really. And that is exactly what Mewtwo was doing. He had picked a clearing in the forest, and was experimenting with tending to some of the berries he had stolen. If he could grow his own crop, he wouldn't need to steal. However, he didn't want to be noticed here. Any fighting could potentially destroy the crops he had been hoping to harvest. As such, he wore a brown cloak that covered his form entirely, hoping that would keep him from standing out too much.]

[The "crops" as of yet were little more than mounds of dirt at the moment. This in itself was a point of frustration for the pokemon. After all berry trees and bushes in his world would produce berries in roughly a single day. These were taking much longer to even break the surface of the ground. He was about to turn and leave when he heard... something, and froze.]

[Luke was just enjoying a walk through the forest, looking around and exploring, when he encounters the little garden and Mewtwo.

Since he means no harm, he just waves at the creature with a small smile. He doesn't know about the stolen berries and frankly doesn't care so much.]

Oh. Hello again!

[Mewtwo sighs, straightening himself up to his full height and allowing his tail to relax. He'd been caught with his hood down. He was too focused on why his berries weren't growing to keep his awareness up.]

It would seem this clearing isn't quite as remote as I thought.

[Here in the forest and in person, he's very aware of how small he is compared to Mewtwo. After pondering the creature's response, Luke can feel heat crawling into his cheeks.] It... might be very remote. I sort of lost the trail a little bit ago and was trying to get back.

...wait.

[It clicks then that Mewtwo hadn't spoken, yet somehow Luke had heard him.]

How did you do that? I heard you... but...

[Just have a deadpan stare as his device floats out of his cloak.]

I am a psychic. I cannot speak verbally, so this device translates my thoughts into sound. I have noticed that humans prefer this over the direct telepathic link.

[Stuff is floating. Psychic giant cat.

Sensory overload.]

Oh.

....

[Blink. Should he be saying something else? It's a little much for him.]

[Just have this face until you find your voice again, Luke.]

[He swallows and blinks a few times, and finally:]

How is it different if you use the phone? I suppose people would hear you just the same, right?

It is simply easier for those unfamiliar with psychics to have an audible source of my voice rather than speaking directly into their heads.

I suppose that makes sense.

[Luke just wants to be friends, Mewtwo. Is that so bad?]

Um...so, why are you in the forest all the way out here?"

[That's like trying to befriend a scared and beaten cat, Luke. It's going to take a lot of time. And neosporin.]

That is my own business. One I do not feel comfortable simply divulging to everyone who wanders through here.

[Well, he'll be darned if he doesn't try.]

Okay...

[So he's not welcome now. Maybe later!

But Luke looks around, frowning.] ...do you know which way it is back to town? I got...a little bit lost.

[Through a bush came Sun, pushing past the branches in his way with a small huff. The jobs that lead him out to this place could range from easy to a pain in his butt. This one was most definitely a pain. He was sent out here to collect a particular herb for one of the shops, but he couldn't seem to locate it.

He had a bag slung over his shoulder to carry the stuff in when he found it, and in his hand was a map and a hand drawn picture of what it looked like. His tail dangled low behind him as he looked over the map.]

I could swear this is the place.. [He lifts his head up and is about to look around when he spots Mewtwo and blinks a few times. Well this was a creature he had never seen before.]

[As Sun came to a stop, Mewtwo sighed, straightening up to his full height. It was too late to pull up his hood at this point, so he allowed his tail to fall from its place in the cloak as well. Of course, that's when his eyes spotted Sun's tail.]

...Can I help you?

[Oh, it was sentient! That was good. Sun had come across creatures out here before that were..less than friendly.]

Oh! Yeah. I'm..uh..looking for this herb. The leaves on it are supposed to be blue with yellow little spots. [He holds up the hand drawn picture of it, but if Mewtwo could see it from so far away, he didn't know.]

Have you seen it around here?

[Luckily for Sun, he had seen it. In fact, there was one on the edge of the clearing. With a wave of his hand, he ripped one out of the ground and floated it over to Sun.]

Is that all?

[After all, he wasn't entirely certain Sun wasn't really out to capture him and was trying to get Mewtwo's defenses down...]

[So suspicious, Mewtwo.]

That's the one! [Sun grabs it out of the air and drops his backpack. He opens it up and all that is inside of it is fruits (stolen) and a canteen of water. And also the bag for the herb. Sun takes out the bag for the herb and stuffs it inside.] Are there more over there? The shop is paying me good money to bring these back.

[It comes with being a scientific affront against nature.]

You're free to search the area.

[He pauses for a moment before raising the subject that intrigued him the most.]

...You have a tail.

[He puts the stuff back in his bag and is about to start searching, when he hears Mewtwo.]

Oh. Yeah. I'm part of this race of people in my world called Faunus. [He wiggles his tail a little.] We've all got parts like animals. Cat ears, horns, tusks.

[He arches an eyebrow, obviously intrigued.]

And this is a natural occurrence? Something you are born with?

"Hello Purple Thing!"

It wasn't easy to sneak up on a psychic, Especially one as powerful as Mewtwo, so the fact that he had been so startled was understandable. Of course Koishi's abilities made this generally difficult feat quite simple.

"I saw the cave in the video and I remembered it from when Sis and I were looking around for caves to stay in. We almost stayed there because its nice but Sis preferred the waterways since they're underground. She likes it underground."

She hovered toward him, drifting over his planted crops. She was quite sharp and well-defined, third eye tracking her head somewhat. She must have been feeling good. She seemed to be carrying something...

"Here!" She offered it to him. It was a small slate and a box of white chalk. "I brought this because I remembered we couldn't communicate easily. I put a string on it since you don't have pockets."

Every time he was around Koishi, he couldn't help but feel like he was being followed by a Spiritomb. The blind spot all Dark-Types created in Psychics coupled with her ghostly tendencies didn't hurt matters either. She was far more cordial than the almost sadistic ghosts, however.

When presented with the slate and chalk, he took it with a swipe of his hand, gently laying it aside. His device floats up out of the folds of his cloak however.

"I have this to translate this time."

No doubt Koishi wasn't just disturbing to him. Her void-like presence pressed against all creatures around her, though no doubt he got more of it than most non-psychics would.

"I like your cloak. It's very pretty and goes well with your purple-ness." Her luminous gaze focused on the device as it was held up, her smile only growing some. "Wow! That's really neat! It's like your voice is somewhere else!" She drifted around and landed gently, making sure not to trample his crops. "What are you doing out here though? I wanted to see what you did with the cave. I bet it's really nice..."

He sighed, trying to avoid thinking about what Koishi really was and what kind of advantages or disadvantages she had over him. Still, he couldn't fully relax around her.

"I was attempting to grow berries of my own, so as to avoid becoming dependent on humans.." He motions to the clumps of dirt. "As fro the cave, all I have done is provide a hole for natural lighting. Otherwise time seems to have no meaning in there."

She was radiating an aura of calm, a bit more potent than the last time they met. It certainly wasn't forceful in its presence, but it was certainly potent. It would make him feel quite a bit better if he let it.

"Ohh... Tell me what kinds you like. I can plant some berries in Chireiden if you like them that much. A nice frog lady created a spring for my little fish. The water travels around and keeps everything from drying up. It's special and makes things grow very strong." She brightened. "Then you can have some when you come to visit! Sis would like that too. She is always happy to get new and different kinds of food."

The only times Mewtwo was ever calm was when he was meditating. On edge was just a natural state of being for him.

"Anything small enough and soft enough to be swallowed whole. However, I will continue to attempt to grow my own. I would rather be self-sufficient in this respect."

"Ohh We have lots and lots of different things like that at Chireiden. Sis and I grow a bunch of fruits and vegetables. I bet we can find a few things simple enough for you to eat easily. It's good to be self-sufficient though. I can't really do that because my head is broken. I try to help sis as much as I can though."

It seemed her calming aura was back, gently settling around his mind. It was rather obviously a calming aura but it was none the less very soothing. "You should meet her soon, okay? She really really likes other psychics. She misses being able to talk telepathically and things. She has such a sweet mind. You'll like it a lot."

The aura was almost too noticeable for Mewtwo. The simple fact that it felt like someone was trying to alter his mood was enough to put him on edge. He's not exactly the most trusting, after all.

"I will keep that in mind. What is her name?"

"Her name is Satori Komeiji. No matter what happens the offer to stay in Chireiden is open to you, okay? It's especially good if you like animals. We have so many there. Sis gives them homes when they were hurt or abandoned and makes sure they're happy. And she can understand them with her mind reading."

A small sigh, the little youkai's mood and aura dimming some. Perhaps the aura wasn't intentional and was simply reflecting her mood. "I want to help her more than just bringing back things from the surface. She's really scared to come out usually. People throw rocks sometimes. She's happy now though so it's much better."

He's actually rather impressed that Koishi could remember Satori's name. Still, he nods a bit, relaxing slightly as he felt the aura dimming.

"Has she ever considered projecting a telepathic illusion? Human perception is easily fooled with the right practice. In my world I can walk freely among people by altering their perceptions of my form."

It did make sense if it was considered. Koishi had known her sister for almost three centuries before the incident that caused her to act the way she did.

"Sis isn't quite strong enough to do things like that. Sh can make people think things but she cannot fully change someone's perception. I can do it though. But Sis can do a lot of things that I can't do. That's how our species is are. Some of us are better at things than others. I'm voided so my powers are even more different."

She cradled her eye gently. It was open a good bit, frosted surface staring blindly forward. "And its not a matter of how she looks or how people understand her. It's more hat she can't turn her ability off." Her voice was a lot stronger, her outline becoming more defined as it became easier to perceive her. "And its not easy to hide. When thoughts are as clear as spoken words its hard not to respond to them and it becomes very obvious very quickly. Our powers don't turn off."

Despite himself, he felt a growing curiosity. He pondered for a moment, tail swishing slowly behind him, before speaking again.

"Just from the way you speak, I'm going to assume that her power is more specialized than mine. Just what exactly does her power entail?"

Her third eye blinked, her body fading for a split second, leaving her a little disoriented. She shook her head to clear it, focusing again. He might feel her faintly in his mind still, though it was very faint.

"Well that isn't as easy o answer, actually. It depends greatly on the satori youkai. Our abilities are similar but we're still individuals. And voided satori are completely different."

"All of us focus on two main areas of mental refinement. Precision and power. Sis has a lot of precision, for example, allowing her influence over others. She can manipulate memory or thought easily and can very easily dissect the specifics of someone's mind. She can also impose false emotions onto people or even specific memories. But without power doing these things takes time."

"I have a large amount of power. My abilities work on a greater and more extreme scale but I don't have the same mental dexterity. I can crack minds or wipe memories or even impose emotions or control groups of people. Sis an I used to be able to link our mental presences and direct each other's power to a degree before I became a void."

"Voided satori youkai have their abilities twisted if they retain them at all. I can manipulate emotions instead of imposing them as well as manipulate the senses and perception of them. I cannot manipulate consciousness or memory, anymore. Only the subconscious."

Her eye was shaking a bit now, the little youkai massaging it gently with her fingers. "My perception and understanding of the world is warped beyond repair, so I don't always make sense. But it's not nonsense..." A pause. "I'm sorry. I'm using your mental steadiness to keep myself conscious and aware.

[Has there ever been anything like a black ponyta before? One with a split antler-horn coming from the center of the forehead? No? That's too bad since something similar is very cautiously stepping into the clearing with the clear body language that he might bolt at the smallest signs of threat.

On Taiki's end at least he couldn't smell any blood, but there was an earthy smell that was oddly enticing. He'd practiced shifting a few times in the past with mixed success but in a palace when his every move tended to be watched it was a little awkward to stand around naked. So obviously this was perhaps his first time spending more than a few minutes in this form. Taiki was still trying to get used to using his ears and nose as much as his eyes. Perhaps it was a little strange to watch the young kirin to start moving his ears back and forth while sniffing random spots around the clearing.]

[As he noticed the kirin enter the clearing, he mused on the tales that he had heard of regarding Xerneas from the Kalos region. However, it was very clear this was not a Pokemon. However, it wasn't human, and that was enough to cause Mewtwo to soften his stance, staying slightly hunched over as he turned to face it.]

You may enter the area if you wish. I only ask you not step on these mounds of dirt. I am attempting to grow some food.

[Holy CRAPNUTS Batman, the pile of brown spoke! And since Taiki hadn't been expecting something to address him right that moment, he'll leap away from the voice and perhaps several of those steps will be on the air itself until he's at the edge of the clearing eyeballing that brown lump cautiously.]

I'm sorry! I didn't step on anything!

[The voice was rather young, perhaps just on the edge of becoming an adult, but still very alarmed and without any confidence. There was the odd double-echo of one speaking from the mind but making it audible as well. After a very long pause while Taiki tries to decide if he's done wrong or not, he hesitantly adds.]

It's going to take several weeks for those to grow. It won't matter if anything steps on them until they sprout.

[It is with deliberate slowness that he lowers the hood of his cloak. Though the look of frustration on his face is clear at the revelation that it's going to take a while to grow his food.]

All the same, I would prefer if they are left undisturbed. Still, it is... disheartening to hear. The berry-plants in my world generally grow to adulthood in a single day.

[He nods and is very careful to go around the edges of the little garden. Since the odd-looking one didn't seem threatening, just worried about his plants, there wasn't any need to converse across the clearing.]

Just one day? I've never seen anything like that, though I guess something like bamboo or rainforest vines could probably grow that fast.

Growth in my world, I'm finding is exponentially faster than in others.

Pokemon can change their shapes, growing several times their original size in the span of a few seconds during evolution.

Of course, that does beg a question that I hope is not too personal. What exactly are you? You are not a Pokemon, or you would have some idea of why I have the expectations I do.

I don't think it's personal from what I've discovered in the past year. I'm just not exactly sure how to explain it... Which made me confused for a long time until it was shown to me. So it may be easier to show my own other form first?

[His head tilted slightly while asking the question. But... That would leave him naked in a strange forest with a strange creature without any protection. Since they were only a few feet apart by now Taiki glanced away with some hesitation.]

It's still a little awkward for me right now. Would you mind covering me with your cloak?

[Mewtwo said nothing, simply cocking an eyebrow and removing the cloak, offering it out to Taiki. Of course that left Mewtwo naked, not that he really cared.]

[Taiki's just going to duck under it and shimmer a bit. Almost like reforming clay he'll become human again and wrap the cloak around himself. It's not exactly summer anymore and silly humans don't have any fur.]
