'Twas a dark, cold night of ice and snow  
 A winter's night where the moon had yet to show  
 Trapped within a cave, dark and dreary  
 Sits the legendary Mewtwo, worn and weary  
  
 Normally he was an apathetic soul, free of chagrin  
 But things were no longer as they had always been  
 He rises from the ground with a demeanor of bother  
 For this day was turning out unlike any other  
  
 The fact that today was indeed Christmas Eve  
 Had nothing to do with why he had begun to grieve  
 Many holidays had come and gone in the past  
 To him, the idea of celebration was ranked dead last  
  
 He had always been perfectly fine with being alone  
 Not because he felt he had committed sins to atone  
 Rather, it gave him a chance to soothe his inner frustrations  
 With philosophical thinking and complicated calculations  
  
 Today had started much like every other day  
 Making risk assessments of a conjured gamma ray  
 But hardly a few minutes in, and he almost felt like snoring  
 For some reason, it seems this experiment was really boring!

  Disappointed but undaunted, he moved to a different calculation  
 Trying to determine the effects of ventricular fibrillation  
 But this engagement also turned out to be a bore  
 He had never had such a terrible time before!  
  
 Fearing that his entire way of life was at stake  
 Mewtwo decided to stop and take a break  
 It was only natural for a mind such as his to one day exhaust  
 And after years of studying he was going to have some fun, at last!  
  
 Mewtwo muttered with discomfort, looking around his containment  
 He had never brought anything for some actual entertainment  
 The solution that popped up flooded his mind with doubt  
 Surely he could not be thinking of actually going... Out.  
  
 "... And why not?" he thought with agitated rouse  
 "Is a creature such as I not allowed to leave his own house?"  
 Mewtwo broke open a wall while he embraced his pride  
 As he left the cavern to go out on a midnight stride  
  
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  
  
 He flew through the sky, attempting to find salvation  
 When he realized that he had yet to think of a destination  
 So he decided to go visit the only creature he really knew  
 As he headed towards the location of the legendary Mew  
  

  Mewtwo reached the secret cave and landed outside  
 As he witnessed many strange lights coming from inside  
 Usually such a display would have been most forbidden  
 He wondered, had she given up on staying hidden?  
  
 "Mewtwo! Happy Holiday!" Mew came out and said  
 "Been a while since your last visit, I could have sworn you were dead!"  
 "Silence, original," Mewtwo responded while moving up the path  
 "Unless you wish to spoil this night by hastily inciting my wrath."  
  
 The two of them were silent as Mew felt herself go numb  
 "Well then, Mewtwo, why is it that you have come?"  
 He responded, "Boredom has come to haunt my solitude at last,"  
 "Supply me with your menial matters, and perhaps it will pass."  
  
 Mew started to smile, which pestered him to no end  
 She was an annoyance and he would never see her as a friend  
 However, upon the planet that she was so keen to protect  
 She was the only one who had ever earned his respect  
  
 Mew's smile faded as she gave off a saddened display  
 Mewtwo had decided to come on the worst possible day  
 "Forgive me, Mewtwo, but it will have to wait,"  
 "For tonight I have plans for something truly great!"  
  

  "Cancel them," Mewtwo quickly advised  
 "I will not," Mew replied, making him surprised  
 Only she would ever dare oppose him without being delirious  
 But to completely reject him... What could be so serious?  
  
 "What are you planning?" Mewtwo decided to inquire  
 How could he not know about something so dire?  
 "Is it not obvious?" Mew asked with minor peeve  
 "Why, tonight is the night of Christmas Eve!"  
  
 Mewtwo's mouth dropped, as did his respect for Mew  
 No... Impossible. What he had heard could simply not be true  
 The legendary psychic who had earned his reluctant admiration  
 Could not possibly take pleasure in such an idiotic celebration!  
  
 He said, "I see, you are searching for something new to deduct,"  
 "To see if this occasion has somehow altered the commoner's conduct."  
 "Not quite," Mew answered to show that he was wrong  
 "But rather engage in dance, laughter and perhaps even song!"  
  
 "... You are truly celebrating this?" Mewtwo quietly asked  
 "It seems I might have overestimated your maturity in the past."  
 "Such a claim is pointless, Mewtwo!" Mew replied with a shout  
 "From someone who does not even know what Christmas is about!"  
  

  Mewtwo's mouth twitched and filled with bile  
 As he struggled his hardest to force down a smile  
 "You think yourself wiser than me when it comes to such events?"  
 "I know everything, from decorated trees to the opening of presents."  
  
 "You are wrong," Mew replied, "For I have seen Christmas firsthand,"  
 "That is not what it is about, I will have you understand!"  
 "You believe there is reason to it?" Mewtwo asked with a bored tone  
 Mew nodded, "I suppose proof is what you wish to be shown."  
  
 "Pokémon and humans, in different forms and conditions,"  
 "All celebrate Christmas through the exact same traditions,"  
 "At the same date every year without ever straying,"  
 "There is no reason for this, is what you are saying?"  
  
 Mewtwo fell silent as it was not something he had ever cared for  
 But was there a secret meaning within this holiday for him to explore?  
 "What is it?" he asked, lack of knowledge making him feel like an ignorant clone  
 "That," Mew answered, "Is something you have to find out on your own."  
  
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  
  

  Mewtwo speeded through the heavens with great agitation  
 Searching high and low for any manner of Christmas celebration  
 He had to stay away from the cities, as his presence would become revealed  
 Finding a party in the wild would let him observe and remain concealed  
  
 The first party he came upon was, with great surprise  
 A group of humans, the creatures that he so very much despise  
 They were celebrating, but had they known of the being above  
 It would be hard for them continue on with their "peace" and "love"  
  
 He had long since decided to treat human fairly  
 Even they were worthy of life, although just barely  
 So he ignored them and decided to move on  
 Until ten minutes later, a group of Pokémon he came upon  
  
 Below a massive mountain, on which he could easily hide  
 Pokémon were assembled from every type and every kind  
 None of them appearing to be even the slightest bit resigned  
 Involved in a party, showing no signs of beginning to subside  
  
 Mewtwo stopped on the mountaintop and smirked at the sight  
 Just what he had expected - Oh, how he loved to be right  
 Made clear by the alcohol and random cheering he was viewing  
 These inebriated commoners had no idea what they were doing!  
  

  But then again, perhaps it was only he who did not understand?  
 Creatures around the globe were busy with the celebration at hand  
 Despite the fact that they could stay inside and remain pleasant and warm  
 They would go outside to celebrate, even with the possibility of storm  
  
 It seems the situation was not as simple as he had first thought  
 For these sloths to do this ritual every year, it would have to mean a lot  
 But what? What part of Christmas connected it all together?  
 He decided to stay and analyze the festivity, despite the worsening weather  
  
 A large tree stood in the center of it all, ornamented and bright  
 Around which many of the occupants danced with delight  
 There were also several tables containing foods and drinks  
 As well as a novelty figurine of Mew and Mewtwo that blinks!  
  
 Mewtwo looked at the celebration while feeling unimpressed  
 Calling this 'fun'... Surely they were not trying their best!  
 Dancing, laughing and singing? Were they both drunk and dense?  
 Who could take pleasure in committing themselves to such random nonsense?  
  

  However, a single Buneary girl managed to catch his gaze  
 Unnoticed as everyone else was busy having fun in a drunken haze  
 Sitting outside of the festivities, she was saddened, bored and alone  
 And to everyone but Mewtwo she was completely unknown  
  
 She had most likely been unwillingly dragged to the party by her mother  
 How typical, to be placed in such an awkward situation by another  
 Mewtwo sighed and sympathized with the girl's predicament  
 Truly, if this celebration represented his life, she would be his equivalent  
  
 Mewtwo realized that analyzing from was bringing no progress  
 He knew not what anyone thought, but only what they express  
 He would need to ask them, to strike up a conversation  
 Which itself is an act that would require... Infiltration  
  
 Rage and indignation came upon Mewtwo like a storm  
 Massive disgust aside; he had no way of using Transform!  
 Is this what the insipid original Mew had intended for him all along?  
 Knowing he could only observe, making it impossible to prove her wrong?  
  
 No. He would figure this out, even if it meant his end  
 Many more hours above the crowd he decided to spend  
 Carefully observing how they would run around  
 Having fun with absolutely no reason abound  
  

  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  
  
 Around the time that Mewtwo began wishing he was dead  
 It seemed that everyone at the party was giving room to a Loudred  
 He smiled brightly as the crowd suddenly parted  
 It seemed that this party had only just been started!  
  
 The Loudred inhaled and started singing as everyone cheered  
 Mewtwo muttering as he thought it sounded constrained and weird  
 However, the pounding, loud noise that now filled up the night  
 Did not go unnoticed by the nearby height...  
  
 Mewtwo stirred from his engagement as something grabbed his attention  
 The snow on the mountain above them was beginning to lose its suspension!  
 Those fools! Unless they quiet down, an avalanche is nigh!  
 With such a large amount of snow, they are all going to die!  
  
 But Mewtwo quickly calmed down, as he did not care  
 These idiots brought it upon themselves, so it was only fair  
 He was simply witnessing natural selection taking care of those inferior  
 Leaving more room for those like himself, the inherently superior  
  
 Those below were starting to realize that something was wrong  
 And began murmuring as the Loudred quieted down his song  
 Most of them were able to fathom what was about to occur  
 As the mountaintop from their point of view turned into a white blur  
  

  Screams of fear sounded when the last foothold began to crumble  
 Followed by the snow coming down with a mighty rumble  
 Those below ran, but soon they would all be covered by an icy drape  
 Slowly freezing or being crushed to death, with no hope for escape...  
  
 The crowd scattered, but left behind someone they forgot to carry  
 Mewtwo's eyes widened as he recognized the straggling Buneary  
 "... No! Not her!" he thought, "She did not even want to be there!"  
 "For her to die even before the rest, how could that possibly be fair!?"  
  
 Mewtwo witnessed the gruesome scene and knew that it was too late  
 But even so, it was more than common for him to defy fate  
 No time for a fire ability, or anything even remotely creative  
 He would have to use the skill that was to him the most native  
  
 With raw psychic force, he stopped the snow from falling  
 Suspending it in midair, quite the successful stalling  
 But he knew that it was useless unless he could get rid of it  
 So he sent the snowy avalanche flying halfway up into orbit!  
  
 The crowd froze as they stared at the astounding scene  
 Most of them opting to quit alcohol and settle for caffeine  
 As the threatening mass of snow left the large mountain  
 And shot up into the sky, just like a fountain!  
  

  They all gasped, and instinctively began to cover their head  
 What comes up must come down, and when it does they'll be dead!  
 But eventually they relaxed, and began to let go  
 As they only thing they were met by were tiny flakes of snow...  
  
 First began the sighs, then followed the laughter  
 The cheering and shouting came soon thereafter  
 As the crowd looked up and saw a figure hovering above  
 Showering it with praise, gratefulness and love  
  
 Mewtwo cringed and felt his chest tighten  
 He was not someone who would bring joy, only frighten!  
 Enraged and just about to give these fools retribution most vile  
 He stopped, as he saw a familiar Buneary giving off a happy smile...  
  
 Mewtwo instincts kicked in as he knew he had been shown  
 And he flew away without a trace, deep into the unknown  
 Even after he was gone, he could still hear them calling  
 To be given gratefulness instead of hate... It did not feel quite as appalling  
  
 For the sensation that had disturbed his way of life  
 The feeling that had led him through all this strife  
 The awakening had snapped him out of his coziness  
 Was, of course, nothing but regular loneliness...  
  

  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  
  
 Mewtwo pondered over what had happened as he flew back to the cave  
 What he had done was something he would take with him to the grave  
 Mew came out quickly as she noticed he had returned  
 "Welcome back," Mew said, "Tell me what you have learned."  
  
 "That Christmas is hogwash with no appliance in logic whatsoever"  
 Mewtwo answered, ignoring his deed and focusing on the crowd's silly endeavor  
 "In that case," Mew asked, "Why is it celebrated by so many?"  
 "All over the world through all ages, even by those without a single penny?"  
  
 Mewtwo sighed, "To me, it seems to be nothing but a senseless justification,"  
 "To eat, drink and partake in unnecessary elation."  
 Mewtwo felt himself defeated, before Mew gave a smile most grand  
 As she clasped her hands together and cheered, "You understand!"  
  
 "For you see," she explained happily, "I simply cannot refuse,"  
 "That in the end, Christmas and everything related to it is but an excuse,"  
 "To see those you care for, give presents and have fun for no real reason!"  
 "That, dear Mewtwo, is the true meaning of this season!"  
  

  "Bah, humbug," Mewtwo said depressingly, "Really?"  
 "All these traditions just to see one another? How silly."  
 Mew gave off a sardonic smile as her unrested tail began to sway  
 "Well then, Mewtwo, why did you come to see me, today?"  
  
 Mewtwo was about to answer, but felt himself stumped  
 A nasty realization came upon him as he reluctantly slumped  
 Could it be, that even before being exposed to all that celebration  
 The holiday cheer had gotten to him and led him to seek relation?  
  
 "Worry not," Mew said quietly, "I do not intend to judge,"  
 "And even though I know you to be the type to hold a grudge,"  
 "Just so you know, there is no need for you to explain,"  
 "If, for the remainder of the holiday, here with me you would remain..."  
  
 Mewtwo muttered to himself and knew without question  
 There was no way in hell he would accept such a silly suggestion!  
 Everyone knows it would go against everything he was, although...  
 His decision in this matter is not something anyone else would need to know...  
  
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  
  

  A few days later, Mewtwo returned home  
 Revitalized but tired, quite unwilling to roam  
 He seamlessly returned to his calculations and grimness  
 But never forgot his one enjoyable Christmas
