[Not one too fall into the same routine for too long, today was a day where he wanted to shake things up. With Luceti Land ending just a few days ago, Red was pretty bored and the recreation centre wasn't cutting it. At least, it was without his friends. Lazily flipping through the journals in hopes of seeing a familiar face, his

Yes.

[couragefighter]

Cool! Think you could meet me by the battle dome in a bit then?

[It's okay Mewtwo, he understands.]

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

Of course.

[AND HE IS OFF LIKE A SHOT because red

something awesome is about to happen isn't it]

[action forever!]

[couragefighter]

[Psh, of course. 'Sides, not like you have anything better to do, right??]

[So since Red happens to be in its near vicinity, hit doesn't take him too long to reach the arena. Once Mewtwo arrives, he'll be sure to surprise him with the Battle Dome simulations already set up.]

[... Let's start with something simple. Faceless ocket grunts with ordinary teams, y/n?]

[antlioncyclone]

[...

I don't like these but I like fighting them.

What is knocking out each Pokemon one by one? BLOW 'EM ALL AWAY]

[couragefighter]

[It's not the fact that they're up against Team Rocket that excites him, it's the mere fact that he was battling in general.]

[Even though Mewtwo was stronger than any member of his team alone, Red was still going to put up a show. Red wipes them out pretty easily, though not at the feat Mewtwo is.]

You've been practising a lot, huh?

[antlioncyclone]

Of course.

[Allow him to wax poetic about you for a moment, Red - because this battle, nothing more than a spar against thin air, nearly matches the thrill of the full-power assault on the Third Party, and Mewtwo knows that you're the reason. Maybe not for any reason characteristic or conscious on your part, but the bond of alliance is a welcome feeling after being shut in Luceti for so long, without the presence of wild Pokemon and the silent hum of a calling-away urge, without echoes of Mew or trainers to watch and true battles to be fought.

This gets just close enough to the last one to be goddamned therapeutic.]

[couragefighter]

How long have you been here, anyway?

[He's starting to sweat from all the running around, but with a command here, and a command there... Red's not falling behind him any time soon. It's a good exercise on his part, since having someone with you kept the standard. The feeling's mutual, Mewtwo.]

[antlioncyclone]

Since midwinter.

[couragefighter]

It's September right now...

[He finishes another wave effortlessly, before resuming his thoughts.]

Almost a whole year?

[Mewtwo can probably detect the hint of surprise in his tone.]

[antlioncyclone]

Nearly.

[Nearly a sixth of his whole life.]

[couragefighter]

...and Gold's been here for even longer.

[It's hard to wrap his mind around it, though he does spin around to concentrate back on the battle.]

[antlioncyclone]

That is what he's told me. He says that there have been other trainers here, before. Even Pokedex Holders.

[couragefighter]

Huh, he never mentioned any of that stuff to me. [...]

Wonder why?

[It briefly crosses his mind, but it's a thought that doesn't linger for too long.]

[antlioncyclone]

I would not think it important.

[...He actually means that. Not trying to take any shots at Gold or you. Mewtwo just really wouldn't think that was important.]

[couragefighter]

If you say so.

[He lazily scratches his head, before brushing it off. It's about then that the steady flow of Rockets begin to disrupt.]

Hey, I see you heading here pretty often. [a light grin.] So what kinda stuff do you do, anyway?
