Lost and Found
Chapter One
The sequel to "Till There Was You".
“Mewtwo!”
Renamon was being pulled into the swirling vortex, one claw digging into the ground for traction. She reached out towards Mewtwo as she was pulled in closer. Mewtwo reached back, trying to stop her from being taken from him. If he could only summon up his psychic power, then he could save her. But he couldn't. His power would not answer him. Renamon was being pulled further away from him. He strained to reach her. He would not lose her. Suddenly, Renamon lost her traction and flew through the air into the vortex, calling out to him...
Mewtwo woke up, the sound of Renamon's voice still echoing through his mind. Sitting up, he wiped sweat from his brow, his heart hammering in his chest. He had had the same dream again. A constant reminder of his failure to save Renamon, the female Digimon he had met over six months ago. She had been forcibly returned to the Digital World following a fierce battle with the Digimon warlord Emperor Leomon. Mewtwo had come to love Renamon and she had reciprocated those feelings. She had been willing to remain with him here in the human world. However, that was not meant to be. The two Legendary Dragons, Palkia and Dialga had used their power to return Renamon and her Digimon allies back to where they came from. Mewtwo had been powerless to help her. And now, six months later, he was still searching for a way to reach the Digital World. And in that time he had been haunted by dreams where he relived that moment.
Mewtwo gazed up at the sky. It was early morning. The sun had yet to rise. Mewtwo stood up, knowing that sleep would be impossible right now. He needed to clear his mind. Using his power, he levitated into the air and flew up high.
As he flew through the sky, he pondered over the events of the last six months. After he had recovered from the battle, he had immediately sought out Palkia and Dialga. He had not been thinking clearly at the time. If he had been, then he would have realized the mistake he was making. Instead, he had charged into Palkia and Dialga's realm and demanded they send him to the Digital World. They had responded by attacking him. Mewtwo had barely made it out alive. Fortunately help had arrived in the form of Giratina who had helped Mewtwo escape. After recovering from that debacle, Mewtwo had sought out other means of accessing the Digital World. So far, he had yet to find a way. But he wouldn't give up. He would find Renamon, somehow.
He wondered how she was doing. Was she trying to find a way to get to him? If he knew Renamon, then chances were that she would not give up on him either.
Elsewhere in Undella Town, Spring had arrived and the small resort town was starting to liven up. The various villas which had stood empty were now being opened up and tourists were arriving to stay in them. One of the tourists was a famous Pokemon trainer named Cynthia. The Champion of the Sinnoh Region had just arrived to enjoy the seaside town. She made her way towards one of the more extravagant looking villas. This one was owned by one of the Elite Four of the Unova Region, a young woman named Caitlin. As it was, Cynthia wasn't the only one who visited Caitlin's villa during the warmer seasons. Other Gym Leaders tended to stop by as well. But for now, it was just Cynthia and no doubt Caitlin.
Cynthia arrived at the villa and entered. She gazed around the spacious villa. No matter how many times she visited this place, she always looked forward to coming here. She was ready to relax and enjoy herself.
“Hey, you made it.”
Cynthia saw her gracious host coming down the stairs.
“Caitlin,” Cynthia greeted. “Good to see you. Thanks for letting me stay here.”
“You always say that,” Caitlin replied. “I don't mind you staying here. It's nice to have some company. Besides, considering that mess you were in back in the Sinnoh Region, I imagine you could use a vacation.”
“You heard about that, huh,” Cynthia said.
“I didn't hear all the details,” Caitlin said. “I only know there was some kind of attack and apparently Palkia and Dialga were also involved. Care to fill me in on the full story?”
“You'd better sit down,” Cynthia said. “It's a long story.”
Cynthia told Caitlin what had transpired in Celestic Town. She mentioned Mewtwo, Renamon, the other Digimon, Emperor Leomon and the Legendary Pokemon that had also been involved in the battle. She then told Caitlin about the Digimon being forced back to the Digital World and Mewtwo vowing to find a way to reach Renamon.
“I haven't heard anything from him since he left Celestic Town,” Cynthia said. “I only hope he didn't try something foolish like going after the two Dragons.”
“Hm. To think there is another world out there,” Caitlin said. “It's a shame that Mewtwo lost his friend. Especially since she helped to save everyone from this Emperor Leomon.”
“I thought so, too,” Cynthia agreed. “Apparently Palkia and Dialga didn't see it that way. I suppose I can understand why they did it, but still, to separate Mewtwo and Renamon? That was just cruel.”
“I hope he finds a way to get to the Digital World,” Caitlin said.
“I don't know how he will,” Cynthia said. “Palkia and Dialga are probably the only way for Mewtwo to gain access to the Digital World.” She suddenly noticed Caitlin gazing off into the distance. “Caitlin? Are you alright?”
“I can feel something,” Caitlin said. “A strong psychic presence heading this way.”
“Oh, that's right. I forgot about your psychic abilities,” Cynthia said. “Wait! You said a strong psychic presence? Could it be...?”
She rushed out the door and scanned the sky. Caitlin joined her, searching the sky as well. Soon Cynthia caught sight of something flying overhead: A familiar looking Pokemon.
“It is him,” Cynthia said.
Both women watched as Mewtwo flew down from the sky and landed in front of them. Cynthia was relieved to see he was okay, though she couldn't help but notice he looked tired.
“Cynthia,” he greeted. “I wasn't expecting to find you here. I sensed a psychic presence and followed it.” He glanced at Caitlin. “I'm assuming it was you I felt?”
“Yes,” Caitlin replied. “So, you're Mewtwo. Cynthia was just telling me about you and what happened in Sinnoh.”
“Mewtwo, how are you,” Cynthia asked. “You look exhausted.”
“I haven't been sleeping well lately,” Mewtwo admitted. “And I have yet to find a way to reach Renamon.”
Cynthia felt pity for Mewtwo. She could hear the bitter sorrow in his voice.
“I'm sure there's a way,” Cynthia said. “For now though, why don't you come inside and get some rest.” She heard a slight rumbling sound emenate from Mewtwo's stomach. “I imagine you could use a hot meal as well.”
“I don't wish to impose,” Mewtwo said.
“It's alright,” Caitlin said. “Please, come in. My home is your home.”
A short time later, having sated his hunger, Mewtwo told Cynthia what he had been up to over the last several months since she had last seen him.
“Oh, Mewtwo,” Cynthia chided. “I can't believe you actually went after Palkia and Dialga. You could have been killed. You're lucky Giratina showed up and helped you.”
“I admit it wasn't a smart move on my part,” Mewtwo said. “But what can I say, Cynthia? I was desperate. My whole life has been a lonely and empty existence and then I find someone who understands me only to have her torn away from me. I just...didn't know what else to do.”
“Have you found anything else that might help you,” Caitlin asked.
“No, I haven't,” Mewtwo replied. “As far as I know, there are no other Pokemon that could help me gain access to the Digital World.”
“Maybe that's the problem,” Cynthia said. “Perhaps you've been approaching this from the wrong angle.”
“What do you mean,” Mewtwo asked.
“The Digital World exists within a computer based dimension,” Cynthia explained. “Maybe you could access the Digital World via a computer.”
“I never considered that,” Mewtwo said. “But could it work? And how could I make it work?”
“Unfortunately, I don't know,” Cynthia said. “I'm not a computer expert. And I don't know if there would be anyone out there who would have the expertise to open the way to the Digital World.”
“Still, any chance is better than nothing,” Mewtwo said. “The question is, who could I turn to?”
All three looked up at a knock on the door.
“Who could that be,” Cynthia wondered.
“Were you expecting company,” Mewtwo asked.
“Not at the moment,” Cynthia replied.
She got up and made her way over to the door and opened it. Standing there was a delivery man.
“Good afternoon, ma'am,” he said. “I'm here to deliver a message.”
Cynthia was about to reply when Mewtwo appeared at the door. He smiled and shook his head.
“Nice outfit, Looker,” he said. “But you can't fool me. I can tell it's you.”
“Really, Mewtwo, you take all the fun out of my job,” the delivery man said. He pulled off the delivery uniform to reveal that it was indeed Looker of Interpol. “It's been a while.”
“Agent Looker,” Cynthia said, slightly surprised. “What brings you here?”
“As I said,” Looker explained. “I came here to deliver a message: To Mewtwo.”
“Me,” Mewtwo asked.
“Yes. It took me a little while to track you down,” Looker said. “Lucky for me I was here in town and I saw you fly by overhead. Anyway, now that I found you, the message is actually from Charon.”
“Charon,” Mewtwo exclaimed. “The scientist who worked for Team Galactic? Isn't he in prison?”
“He is,” Looker said. “And he's been asking to speak with you.”
“And why exactly should I go see him,” Mewtwo asked. “I have nothing to say to a criminal.”
“He says that he might have a way to gain access to the Digital World,” Looker replied solemnly.
Deep within Interpol prison, Charon sat at a small desk going over some notes and making a few calculations. He looked up as he heard footsteps approaching his cell. Looker appeared at the cell door and stood there staring at Charon.
“Ah, Agent Looker,” Charon said. “What brings you here?”
“You have a visitor, Charon,” Looker said, opening the door.
He turned and ushered someone inside. Stepping into the cell, Mewtwo stood before Charon, his eyes narrowed and focused on him.
“You found him,” Charon said. “Welcome, Mewtwo. Allow me to...”
He got no further. Mewtwo's eyes flashed blue and Charon found himself lifted up and pinned against the wall, held there by a strong invisible force. Mewtwo approached Charon and stood just inches from him.
“I'm warning you now, human,” Mewtwo said, his voice low and ominous. “If you're wasting my time, then I will make you regret it. Now, answer me truthfully: Can you really gain access to the Digital World?”
“In theory, I could,” Charon replied. “I've been looking over the data...”
“What data,” Mewtwo demanded.
“Allow me to explain,” Charon said. “You see, when your Digimon friends first arrived, there was an electronic feedback that effected computers and other digital based machines. The same thing occurred when they were sent back. It seems that when the Digital World is exposed to our world, there is a signal of some kind. Using my laptop, I was able to find remnants of that data. Over the last several months I have been studying the data and now I believe I can replicate the data trail and thus open a pathway to the Digital World.” He gestured towards the desk. “It's all right there. Feel free to look it over.”
Mewtwo released Charon and went over to the desk. He picked up the notes and glanced over them. He really wasn't an expert on this sort of thing, but the data looked legitimate.
“Can you really get this to work,” he asked Charon. “Tell me the truth.”
“As I said, in theory I could,” Charon said. “I won't know for certain without the proper equipment. If I can pull this off, then you can go to the Digital World. You'll be able to reunite with your friend, Renamon.”
“How did you know about that,” Mewtwo asked.
“I still have informants, you know,” Charon replied. “Some of them were there in Celestic Town during the battle with Emperor Leomon. They told me how Palkia and Dialga sent the Digimon back to the Digital World, including Renamon, whom, I believe, you are infatuated with. I can help you find her.”
“And let me guess,” Mewtwo said. “You'll do this on the condition they let you out of here, am I right?”
“Oh, I admit freedom from prison would be nice,” Charon admitted. “However, I do have one other condition: I want to go with you to the Digital World.”
“What,” Mewtwo exclaimed. “Why?”
“Why, for the chance to explore a new world,” Charon answered. “I am a scientist after all. How could I pass up the opportunity? Allow me to go with you, Mewtwo. We can both realize our dreams. You can reunite with Renamon and live happily ever after and I can explore and study the Digital World. So, what do you say?”
“Getting you out of here is not my decision to make,” Mewtwo said. “Give me a moment to speak with Looker.”
He turned and exited the prison cell.
“Absolutely not,” Looker said, after Mewtwo explained what Charon wanted. “I can't release a criminal like Charon just like that. First of all I would have to clear it with my superiors. And assuming they would even consider going along with this, there would have to be forms and paperwork that would need to be written up and it could take weeks, maybe even months for it to go through.”
“Looker, this could be my only chance to reach the Digital World,” Mewtwo insisted. “Please, you have to do this for me.”
“Mewtwo, I sympathize, believe me, I do,” Looker said. “But how can you be certain he's not leading you on?”
“I know he's untrustworthy,” Mewtwo replied. “I don't need psychic powers to know that. But I can tell he's sincere about opening up a way into the Digital World. Besides, if it does work, then Charon will be there and you'll no longer have to worry about him.”
“You're not concerned about any trouble he could cause in the Digital World,” Looker asked.
“I highly doubt one little human can cause too much trouble to the Digimon,” Mewtwo said. “From what Renamon told me there are very powerful Digimon that live there. If Charon is smart, he'll stay away from them. Please, Looker, I'm begging you. If Charon does prove unable to fulfill his end of the bargain, then I will return him to prison...that is assuming I don't do anything to him first.”
Looker thought it over. While he was reluctant to let Charon go, he felt he owed Mewtwo big time. After all, he not only had helped retrieved the Adamant and Lustrous orbs, but he had also saved the world from certain destruction along with Renamon and the other Digimon. Looker not only had a sense of justice but also a sense of honor and he always repaid debts.
“Alright, Mewtwo,” he said. “Against my better judgment, I'll let you do this. I'll pull some strings and see about getting Charon moved elsewhere to begin his research. But, the moment he tries something, he gets hauled back here and locked up, whether or not he has found a way to enter the Digital World. Is that clear?”
“Crystal,” Mewtwo replied. “Thank you, Looker.”
“One more thing,” Looker said. “I'm going to be there to keep an eye on him...and you.”
“Me,” Mewtwo asked.
“No offense, Mewtwo, but I just want to make sure your emotions don't cloud your judgment,” Looker said.
Mewtwo was about to reply but then stopped himself. He recalled how he had charged headlong into certain danger against Palkia and Dialga and had almost gotten killed. What's more, he knew he was asking a lot of Looker. After all, he could get into serious trouble for doing this. He could lose his job, or worse, go to prison himself.
“You're right, Looker,” Mewtwo said. “I've already let my emotions get the better of me before.”
“I understand how much Renamon means to you, Mewtwo,” Looker said. “She was a very brave Digimon and I admired her for everything she did. So, I'll help you anyway I can.”
“Thank you, Looker,” Mewtwo said. “I greatly appreciate what you're doing for me.”
Charon waited anxiously, wondering if Mewtwo would comply with him. He hoped he would. The chance to go to the Digital World was just too tantalizing to pass up. After all, hadn't Cyrus promised a new world for Team Galactic? And since he had disappeared, Charon had promised himself he would find a new world for himself. And now, that opportunity was within reach. Assuming all went according to plan.
He looked up as the cell door opened and both Mewtwo and Looker entered.
“Alright, Charon,” Mewtwo said. “Looker will get you to a lab for research, but, both he and I will be keeping an eye on you and if you betray us in anyway, you will be brought back here and left to rot for the rest of your life. Is that understood?”
“Perfectly,” Charon said. “And I can assure you I have no need to betray you. You help me and I'll help you.”
“We shall see,” Mewtwo said.
“Well, then, I'll go see what I can do,” Looker said. “Though, personally, I think this is a big mistake.”
Both Looker and Mewtwo exited the prison cell.
Hold on, Renamon, Mewtwo thought. Hopefully, I will be seeing you soon.

Chapter One
The sequel to "Till There Was You".
“Mewtwo!”
Renamon was being pulled into the swirling vortex, one claw digging into the ground for traction. She reached out towards Mewtwo as she was pulled in closer. Mewtwo reached back, trying to stop her from being taken from him. If he could only summon up his psychic power, then he could save her. But he couldn't. His power would not answer him.

Cynthia felt pity for Mewtwo. She could hear the bitter sorrow in his voice.
“I'm sure there's a way,” Cynthia said. “For now though, why don't you come inside and get some rest.” She heard a slight rumbling sound emenate from Mewtwo's stomach. “I imagine you could use a hot meal as well.”
“I don't wish to impose,” Mewtwo said.
“It's alright,” Caitlin said. “Please, come in. My home is your home.”
A short time later, having sated his hunger, Mewtwo told Cynthia what he had been up to over the last several months since she had last seen him.

“Mewtwo, I sympathize, believe me, I do,” Looker said. “But how can you be certain he's not leading you on?”

Looker thought it over. While he was reluctant to let Charon go, he felt he owed Mewtwo big time. After all, he not only had helped retrieved the Adamant and Lustrous orbs, but he had also saved the world from certain destruction along with Renamon and the other Digimon. Looker not only had a sense of justice but also a sense of honor and he always repaid debts.
“Alright, Mewtwo,” he said. “Against my better judgment, I'll let you do this. I'll pull some strings and see about getting Charon moved elsewhere to begin his research. But, the moment he tries something, he gets hauled back here and locked up, whether or not he has found a way to enter the Digital World. Is that clear?”
“Crystal,” Mewtwo replied. “Thank you, Looker.”
“One more thing,” Looker said. “I'm going to be there to keep an eye on him...and you.”
“Me,” Mewtwo asked.
“No offense, Mewtwo, but I just want to make sure your emotions don't cloud your judgment,” Looker said.
Mewtwo was about to reply but then stopped himself. He recalled how he had charged headlong into certain danger against Palkia and Dialga and had almost gotten killed. What's more, he knew he was asking a lot of Looker. After all, he could get into serious trouble for doing this. He could lose his job, or worse, go to prison himself.
“You're right, Looker,” Mewtwo said. “I've already let my emotions get the better of me before.”
“I understand how much Renamon means to you, Mewtwo,” Looker said. “She was a very brave Digimon and I admired her for everything she did. So, I'll help you anyway I can.”
“Thank you, Looker,” Mewtwo said. “I greatly appreciate what you're doing for me.”
Charon waited anxiously, wondering if Mewtwo would comply with him. He hoped he would. The chance to go to the Digital World was just too tantalizing to pass up. After all, hadn't Cyrus promised a new world for Team Galactic? And since he had disappeared, Charon had promised himself he would find a new world for himself. And now, that opportunity was within reach. Assuming all went according to plan.
He looked up as the cell door opened and both Mewtwo and Looker entered.
“Alright, Charon,” Mewtwo said. “Looker will get you to a lab for research, but, both he and I will be keeping an eye on you and if you betray us in anyway, you will be brought back here and left to rot for the rest of your life. Is that understood?”
“Perfectly,” Charon said. “And I can assure you I have no need to betray you. You help me and I'll help you.”
“We shall see,” Mewtwo said.
“Well, then, I'll go see what I can do,” Looker said. “Though, personally, I think this is a big mistake.”
Both Looker and Mewtwo exited the prison cell.
Hold on, Renamon, Mewtwo thought. Hopefully, I will be seeing you soon.
