-Pokémon-

A 5 year old raven haired child was playing around the forest of beautiful Pallet town. He was in forest against the wish of his mother. See, his mother is quite over protective of him but he wanted to see different kind of Pokémon in the forest. So he headed towards the direction of the forest in complete disregard of his mother's warnings.

He was heading in a random direction until he noticed the sun was setting. He knew that if he didn't reach home in time his mother would start looking for him and when she found him he was going to be in a lot of trouble. He started running towards his house but soon heard a groan from a tree. After following the sounds to sate his curiosity he came towards the source of the sound. Ash discovered a weird and small yet cute and adorable looking cat-like Pokémon with a long skinny tail that had an ovoid tip at the end. He couldn't yet describe what Pokémon it really was because it was covered in bruises and mud and had a lot of scratches. The boy held the Pokémon in his arms and then sprinted towards his house as fast as he could. After reaching his destination he could see that his mom was not at home yet or she left to find him at the Oak ranch. He went down in the storage to find a potion to heal the unknown Pokémon. After cleaning and applying the potions on the injured feline he was able to see that the Pokémon was pink in color and it had three fingered paws and two legs that looked too big for it.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?" he wondered out loud. A short while later he heard the door open. "Hey Mom, is that you? If you're there would you just come up please, I want to show you something". Then there was a loud sigh and he could hear loud and angry sounding footsteps coming toward his room. "Looks like I was late," he said to himself. He knew that he had to find an excuse before his mother would start yelling at him but he couldn't find anything to say. Now he could see her at his bedroom door. Delia Ketchum was young woman with auburn eyes and hair and a soft face. That face was twisted with rage and worry. Anybody see that she was very angry.

"Ash Ketchum, where were you?!" she yelled.

"Ah uh, Mom! I was just out for a...for a walk and uhh," Ash stuttered in fright. He was so afraid that he could probably wet his pants in fear of his mom. But luckily she noticed the adorable cat Pokémon unconscious on his bed.

"A- Ash? Where did you find that Pokémon?" his mother asked in shock

"I came across it when I was exploring the forest and I found it really hurt. I don't know how it got hurt and I'm sorry for worrying you while I was out there," He explained to Delia.

"Oh, that's so sad- wait…. what were you doing in forest? I thought you said you were going to the Oaks ranch to play?" Delia said with her voice dripping with scepticism.

"Yeah I was at the Oak ranch but while playing with the Pokémon I went to the forest and I found it and carried to the house," replied Ash.

His mother sighed. "Well it's a good thing you did what you did but do even know what kind of Pokémon is this?"

"No?" he replied while rubbing the back of his head and smiling cutely.

"I expected that," she responded. "Do you want know what is that pokemon" Ash nodded his head eagerly.

"Ash, this is the Legendary Pokémon Mew."

"Oooh…. what's legendary Pokémon" at this his mother sweatdropped. She sat down on the ground in front of her small child. "Well, a legendary Pokémon is a-" she was about to explain when she noticed the cat stirring. "Ash, I think it's waking up. Will you bring some water for it?" Delia asked him

"Okay!" he replied happily. He smiled brightly as he skipped away with the knowledge that the cute long tailed Pokémon that he now knew was called Mew was alright. Ash practically flew down the stairs to get a bowl of water.

Meanwhile with Mew, it started to wake up. Disoriented, it opened it's eyes to see a brightly painted room. The Pokémons light blue eyes darted around, taking in it's surroundings. Mew could see different kinds of Pokémon themed toys scattered across the room. While it was observing and eyeing the toys playfully its eyes fell on a certain womanly figure standing in front of it. Mew was afraid, it was weak and didn't know what to do so in panic the feline started wobbly flying around the room. All Delia saw was a small pink frightened legendary Pokémon zipping around her son's room. Ash entered the room to see the same thing and his mother staring at it in shock.

"Mom, what happened to Mew?" Ash asked his mom while keeping a wary eye on the legendary Pokémon. After seeing a new figure much smaller than the women Mew understood that the figure was a human child. Mew stopped its panicked flight and started looking at Ash curiously. The boy noticed the stare that was directed at him. Ash carefully walked toward the legendary with the bowl of water in his hand. He cautiously bent down in front of the frightened pink cat. Mew could feel a comforting aura coming from the boy so it was not afraid to slowly come to a rest on the floor.

"Hey Mew, are you feeling alright? Are you thirsty?" he asked the pokemon in a soft voice while sliding over the bowl of water. Mew quickly took a hold of the bowl and drained all the liquid it was holding. "Wow, you sure were thirsty!" commented Ash

"Mew" came a reply from Mew in a beautiful and cute voice. Delia was watching the whole thing in shock and fright. She was shocked to see her son confronting a pokemon and scared that the legendary may attack him. She thought back to her lessons on legendaries from school. Mew, the legendary Mirage Pokémon, which is also known as the ancestor of all pokemon, could change itself into any living thing and could use a plethora of attacks and moves. 'But why it was frightened?' she wondered. she dismissed the thought quickly when she noticed Ash playing with the now rejuvenated Mew in his room. But something was not fitting perfectly. What mew was doing in the forest of Pallet? She decided to discuss it with professor Oak.

"Ash, we are going to Professor Oak's ranch to talk about that Mew." she decided.

"Why Mom? Is there a problem?" Ash asked his mom in worry. Mew also looked at her rescuers mom with worry.

"No nothing is wrong, I was just curious about what Mew is doing in the forest of Pallet and how it got injured. I also want know about what should be given for food because it might be hungry." she informed her son. "We have to find something in which we could hide Mew. I don't want to take chances of showing Mew in public. After all it's a legendary pokemon." she said after a slight pause. The two managed to find a basket to hide Mew, who took a little convincing to go in, and left for the Oak Ranch.

"Huh? Hello Delia! I see you found Ash, where was he?" Professor Oak greeted and asked the women.

"Good evening Professor. I found him in his room."

"Well, at least he was at home but why is he holding basket?"

"Well Professor, Ash was not at home at all it seems. He was in the forest and there is something in the basket we want you to see". This caught Professors attention. Nobody comes to him holding a basket telling him there is something in the basket that he should see. He started to make the assumption of what could be in the basket. Maybe a picnic? But a kid that small could not hold that amount of food. An egg? But how could someone find an egg?

"Well then Ash, what do you have in that basket for me," he asked the boy but all he got in response was a huge smile from the him. When Professor Oak was just about remove the cloth on top of the basket Mew burst upwards with a backflip and started flying around before coming to a rest on Ash's shoulder. Professor Oak was in great shock. Not only had a person whom he knew just come to his front door with a basket but a basket containing a legendary pokemon!

"Huu huh how?" he stuttered while pointing at the legendary sitting on the shoulder of the child he knew since his birth. "I found it in the forest," Ash replied rather quickly. Oaks eyes moved from Ash and the Pokémon. Now the Professor was excited. He was seeing a legendary Pokémon! Not a Mythical or Rare Pokémon the ancestor of all known Pokémon existence! "May I take a look at it? Please?" he begged. Delia nodded apprehensively but as the Professor moved towards Mew, it hid behind Ash with a frightened squeak.

Oak took a step back. "It looks like it's not comfortable with any other human except you two… We can work on that later." The Professor invited the three in. "Meanwhile we should find out what it was doing in the forest."

"I found it injured." Again, the answer was quick but this time Ash was comforting the frightened legendary hiding behind him. Professor Oak raised his eyebrows at the injured part. Ash tried to coax Mew from its spot under his shirt. "Hey Mew, come on out. We can't treat you properly if you keep hiding." Mew slowly revealed itself and Professor Oak busied himself with getting to proper supplies to treat the little legendary.

"Well, I can't how it got hurt but I think it'll be safer and more comfortable with you two," he stated after patching up Mew. Delia raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean Professor?" she inquired.

"What I am trying to say is that it is not safe for Mew to go out in this state and how it looks like it likes you and Ash so you should take care of it."

"Wow, really we can keep Mew?!" The heads of both adults turned to see the boy holding the legendary with stars in his eyes.

"It is possible if Mew wants it." Professor Oak replied sternly.

"Mew, do you want stay with me and my mom?" In reply he got a happy mewl from the cat which then flew to rest on Ash's head.

"Is that a yes?" asked Delia looking at the duo. Now Ash was happily hopping around like a hyperactive Mankey on sugar rush, Mew squealing and bouncing in delight. "I have a feeling they will be great friends," Delia said in a low voice and looking at her son.

"Who knows," replied Oak. "Maybe Mew will even become one of Ash's Pokémon."

Ash and Mew heard that statement and looked at each other. "Hey Mew, would you like to join me on my journey when I become a Pokémon trainer? I want to be best out there 'cus I want to become a Pokémon master. So would you come with me on my journey?" he asked the legendary. Mew flew in front of his face started speaking.

"Mew ewww mewww mew me" it spoke happily.

"Is that a yes?" he asked and he could see Mew giving him a nod.

"Oh that's great!" He exclaimed. "We'll make a ton more friends and catch a ton more Pokémon. From tonight on, our dream is to become the greatest Pokémon master ever!"
