[Cut-Scene Thing] Backdated to May 2nd

Poor Froakie.. It took such a beating. But it wasn't said beating that caused Satsuki Kiryuin to give up on the whole 'pokemon trainiing' scenario. Since she had been provided the tools to start, she decided to at least give it a try to see what all the fuss was about.

In the end she wasn't impressed, and once evening had fallen she had returned to Genessia City and, presumably, home.

However along the way she noticed a number of stray cats or other pets had been running past her. The source wasn't of her concern, at least not until she had come across an ally in which a larger, yelping dog darted out, followed by a pokemon that she had never seen before that was in a tired, slouched stance.

Pawniard looked like she had somehow escaped the new archway- or perhaps she had been here all along? Either way she clearly had been having a rough day, considerably beaten up and tired. "..." Her eyes met with Satsuki's. She looked surprised a moment, then raised her bladed 'hands' in preparation to battle.

"I don't have anything for a fight, my beast has already been exhausted for the day." Satsuki replied, then took a step forward to continue along... Only to be blocked as the pawniard leaped back in her way. She swung her arms about, still determined to fight.

With a deep frown, Satsuki narrowed her eyes at the little monster as she grasped the hilt of her sword. The blade withdrawn then held in front of her she warned, "You do understand that, in your condition, you do not stand a chance against me?"

The bladed pokemon looked both terrified and yet also determined. Their gazes with one another remain locked in silence for some minutes- Satsuki had lost the track of time for a moment but during that lost time she came to an understanding. She could somehow tell that Pawniard desperately wanted to become stronger, that there is someone that she needed to defeat at all costs.

".. I see." Satsuki finally murmured. She twirled her blade and returned it to her sheath with a small smile. "Join me, and I will guide you to obtaining the strength that you seek. I look forward to seeing what you have to offer."

Mewtwo had been watching the exchange from a nearby rooftop. When he saw Satsuki's blade drawn against the Pawniard, he was ready to step in, should the Pawniard be in danger. And then something that defied all logic happened. She read its thoughts.

How could that possibly be? Pawniard was a dark-type, and all dark-types acted as sort of psychic black holes, with the Inkay family being the single exception to the rule he was aware of. Certainly now Pawniard had ever been capable of any form of psychic ability, and no human had ever been able to read the thoughts of any dark-type. This warranted investigation. If this girl (that upon closer inspection reminded him of humanity's greatest psychic, Sabrina) could pierce the veil dark-types wore around their minds... that power could be trouble. As such, he'll just be landing a short distance behind Satsuki after ensuring his mental shields were in place.

"How did you do that?"

It'd appear that Pawniard accepted Satsuki's proposal, her stance become relaxed with a gesture that suggested some sort of relief. However upon seeing Mewtwo, she took a defensive stance once more.

Satsuki looked over her shoulder to the large pokemon and the first thought that comes to mind is 'Good grief, another one?'.

"I suppose I did someting unusual?" replied with a quirked brow. Actually.. What was she even looking at? "And what, exactly, are you supposed to be? The bladed one's target, perhaps?"

"No human has ever been able to establish a telepathic link with a dark-type pokemon."

His eyes tossed a casual glance at the pawniard, taking a moment to attempt to remember any encounter he'd had with it, but coming up empty. "I have never seen it before in my life. As for what I am, you may call me Mewtwo."

"..." Telepathic link? Satsuki's certain she doesn't possess that kind of ability but, for the moment, she'd roll with it. "Satsuki Kiryuin."

Mewtwo speaks perfect language so it's stricken from the record that he's a pokemon. But still, what else could he be? Perhaps some sort of alien?

"What I used just now was no telepathic link- At least not in the traditional sense;" she replied with a shake of her head. "It was merely mutual understanding. With enough experience, one can gain the skill of telling about others through looking into their eyes or observing quirks in their expressions." That said, dark having resistance to psychic ability is useful information filed for later.

There will be a short confused silence as Mewtwo looks back at the Pawniard. ...Yep, it sure does have a metal face. No muscles moving beneath the skin to read, no facial expressions, nothing.

"And just how does a human read the expressions of a pokemon whose expressions are by nature hidden from sight?"

Satsuki assumed Mewtwo was looking at Pawniard in an attempt to try the technique, however she wasn't expecting the question that followsd.

Since the young lady had no intention of repeating herself, she moved the subject along with a hand gesture toward the creature, "I am, indeed, a human. And what kind of.. Life form are you, Mewtwo?"

The girl was... intriguing, yes, and while he wasn't about to cut the conversation short, he couldn't help but feel the ambition that drove her. He didn't know - or care for that matter - what the object of that ambition was, he had no intention of joining her as the Pawniard had. At the question, he just arched an eyebrow.

"I thought it rather obvious from my appearance. I am a pokemon."

"That was my first thought, but your manner of speech differs significantly from what I have seen thus far. I admit it was not a massive number, but the pattern still stood out." Satsuki explained, though decided not to mention her guess after that was 'extraterrestrial'.

"You seem rather advanced. What is your goal?"

"What you 'hear' isn't actually sound. I am speaking directly to your mind. In fact, should anyone walk by, our conversation would seem incredibly one sided."

His goal? He didn't really have one at this point. His children were strong enough to fend for themselves, and were beyond Team Rocket's reach, so he had nothing of any real import that needed to be done.

"I suppose bringing out my own full potential is as good as any goal for the moment. What of you? What do you hope to accomplish?"

Satsuki was taken aback- she hadn't realized it was a half-telepathic conversation and, frankly, she wasn't very comfortable with it.

It would seem there's little choice but to accept it, for the time being. Satsuki gestured to the Pawniard. "At the moment it is to see this one's goal achieved, then give it a greater purpose."

"That said, your own is admirable." Not to mention Mewtwo did not look like he could be easily steamrolled. He'd make a powerful ally. "You shall join me as well, then."

Mewtwo remained quiet while she talked, but as soon as she issued her order, his face darkened considerably. A cursory glance at her mind showed him much. Ordering others around, ruling a... a school? Really? Anyway, ruling a school with an iron fist... there were too many similarities. There's no way he would allow someone like her to control him.

"No, I will not. I may have been formed and given life by humans, but I am under no obligation to serve them, let alone one like yourself. If you want my power, you will have to best me in battle first."

Man-made? That is an extremely interesting reveal!

"It is true that you are under no obligation, but you appear to be rational enough. You would be hard pressed to find a greater trainer, MewTwo." Satsuki replied. Even if she was a mere beginner now, there was little doubt in her mind she could excel at the task.

"The path to your goal is standing right before you. But I can understand that you seek proof. Since my companions are in no condition to fight.." Satsuki turned a touch to the side, which made her heel clack. With hand opposite of her swords side then tightly gripped the handle of her sword, with an intense but brief breeze following that whipped her hair as if upping the dramatics. "I shall do so myself."

She was really going to do it. A human. Was going to attack him, the strongest Pokemon ever? It was all ludicrous, but at the same time he felt the need to put her in her place. He tugged at the cape that he had been wearing to minimize panic when civilians saw him, tossing the cloth aside.

"Your arrogance is great, I will give you that. However, ambition and power are not enough to call yourself a great trainer."

He took up his stance, tail flicking behind him and leaving a crack in the pavement where it came to rest. "But if you are truly so blind as to attack me, I will gladly make you aware of the difference between us."

Satsuki would rather not have to come to this; the possibility that she may be at an extreme disadvantage did come to mind- But the problem was that this could very well be a once in a lifetime encounter.

In her mind there simply was no choice in the matter.

Satsuki closed her eyes for a moment, and the power within her steadily rose as she spoke, "Is that so? It would appear you've witnessed numerous failures before. But the truth is that when it comes to humans, there are always exceptions."

When Satsuki opened her eyes, she pushed off her closer foot and, with a substantial amount of speed, closed the distance between the two- At least that was how it appeared to her. Once close enough the young lady swung her still sheathed weapon horizontally toward the pokemon's head.

Mewtwo didn't move. His stance didn't so much as shift a millimeter, but the attack never got close to him. As she swung her weapon, it collided with a barrier that glowed blue around the impact spot. The blue matched the now brilliant glow in Mewtwo's eyes as the rest of his barrier came into view, enveloping him in energy. With a flick of his wrist, the barrier turned into a shockwave, pushing outward with an equal amount of force as was put into the attack.

"I warned you, but you refused to listen. Now, you will pay the price."

He kept his arm extended as the barrier shrunk and formed a tight ball in the palm of his hand before shooting out at Satsuki's midsection with alarming speed.

... Well. That was unexpected.

"What?" Satsuki could accept her strike to do little damage, but for it to impact some sort of shield was completely unexpected- not to mention it provided a reason for her to resort to unsheathing her blade after all.

Unfortunatly in the process of doing so is being forced to face with MewTwo's attack far too soon and the psychic energy connects which sent her flying backward. A parked car at the curb breaks her fall which she impacted hard enough to make it rock, the door to dent and window to shatter.

For a moment she remained within the dent, head tilted downward with her eyes, clenched shut in pain, hidden behind her bangs. ".. Nngh."

He reached out his arm, calling for his cloak and pulling it around him again. With little more than an audible raspy scoff, he turns his back to Satsuki, ready to float back up to the rooftops.

"This fight is over."

Satsuki's eyes snapped open. She wasn't angry, but she was fiercly determined to win this battle- Not even leaving a scratch was completely unacceptable.

"Oh? Are you withdrawing?" Satsuki brushed her fingertips over the azure links of her uniform and once snapped into place, she was briefly hidden by a magnificent burst of light.

Once it cleared there stood the raven-haired council president, but now clad in Junketsu's activated form with her sword now unsheathed. "We have merely passed the introductory stage! But if you are certain.. I would gladly accept."

Mewtwo looked over his shoulder with a disinterested look, only arching an eyebrow at the transformation.

"Change your appearance all you like, it will do little to close the gap in power between us."

His eyes glowed brilliantly, sparks flying from them as the car behind her spontaneously exploded.

Once the car pretty much detonated, Satsuki's hair whipped forward- But her eyes remained locked upon her opponent with her ever present frown in a similar condition, "Are you trying to convince me of that? Or yourself?"

"Stand aside." Uttered to the shaken up Pawniard, rather intimidated by Mewtwo's display of power, but willing to take part anyway. She hesitantly shuffled away from sight, and it was then Satsuki counter-attacked.

The wings upon her shoulders trembled, then blue energy that erupts sent Satsuki bursting forward at a speed beyond a normal humans. Her black blade is drawn back- she anticipated MewTwo's shield still being present and so slashed her weapon down upon it as if clashing with another blade.

The impact of such force would cause the air to whip about them violently, as well as released sonic-boom like energy that spiderwebs the ground around them several meters.

The shield had been in place, but the instant Satsuki refused to move from the car's detonation, he'd counted on a counter attack and looked into her mind for the briefest of seconds to anticipate her attack.

As she charged, he shifted backward just enough to be out of the downward arc of the blade and brought down his shield. Yes, the energy with which the blade came down formed a few cuts on his body without the shield to protect him, however, it put her in a rather compromising position immediately after the attack.

A ball of black energy formed in his hand, growing with every instant that passed, and he was shoving it directly in Satsuki's face.

"Your Pawniard would have had more of an advantage against me. I can Detect your attacks, but pokemon have mental shields that can at least thwart multiple attempts. Shields that humans lack."

Satsuki was surprised that the shield actually came down- This made MewTwo's fighting style even more difficult to pin down, which she wanted to do using as few moves of her own as possible.

A 'tch' passed her lips just moments before MewTwo's counter attack that launched her back yet again right after contact. The pain of the psychic energy was barely dulled, which made her mind reel; especially once she slammed against a traffic light pole which was brought down easily from the impact.

Satsuki managed to get her feet to hit the ground then come to a sliding brake. "Is that so.." So in a sense, he's like Houka, is he?

The style she decidedto execute afterward wasn't one she was particularly fond of.

She'd adopt being wreckless.

"So.. you believe I lack that ability?" The ground seems to shake as energy builds up within her, then Satsuki burst forward yet again, even faster than before. But this time instead of striking right away, she circled about him and crosses paths, speed steadily increased to a blurr.

She was fast, that much was certain. He could not match that speed, but then again, he didn't have to. He raised his arm and waved it through the air, sending out a handful of star-shaped projectiles that curved back and homed in on Satsuki's position. While not his strongest attack by far, Swift would at least hamper her enough to land an attack, hopefully.

"Whether you have the ability is not my concern. My power is far beyond your league. Trainers spend their entire lives training and earning the respect of Pokemon and peer alike, and even then, they not always hold the power to tame legends. I am beyond even those legends in terms of power. Why should I obey one who has not earned the right to call themselves a trainer?"

With MewTwo being so calm, Satsuki could only assume that her opponent had a counter-attack in mind, and it isn't until the last moment that she can really tell what it would be.

The inevitable collision was timed to strike her from behind moments before her next attack, and that time rather than meet the psychic shield dead on, she brushed past with a whirlwind-like strike.

She came to an abrupt halt several meters ahead of her foe in a slight crouch (with marks of the resulting attack rather large red splotches upon her back), two seconds pass, then objects along her path such as trees and street lamps gradually seperated then fell to the ground due to multiple clean slices.

"That answer to that is rather obvious. Once I defeat you, I would become a legend."
