Hello everybody! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read my story. I've been around fanfiction for awhile, and have had spurs periodically to write my own story, but i never had time for it, now that finals are closing up, i can start working on this. I got most of my inspiration from Skaterblog's Phases of Change story (which you should definitely check out), but I won't be going in the same direction.

Again, thanks for reading, and without further ado, i present The Mew Project

"… Is this thing on? The light is green so I guess..." The small pink creature said as it adjusted a camera."Hello, my name is Nova, I used to have a last name, but it's been so long that I've forgotten it. I am of the Pokémon subspecies Mew, but it wasn't always that way. I used to be human, until, well, this happened. Though at first it seemed a hindrance, now it feels like a blessing. I've heard talking about things supposedly makes it better, so allow me to share my story with you."

"This all started in the United States of America, after the war, society had been severely damaged. Most countries weren't even around anymore. My hometown had been barely spared from the bombs, so life was pretty much normal around here. The radiation, however, had different plans for us."

"Most big areas had been hit, and since by this time almost everyone had a surplus of nuclear bombs, they started hitting everywhere. All the cities around us had been hit, and when I say all around, I mean all around. We couldn't go anywhere unless we wanted to get radiation poisoning. That radiation wanted to spread, however. Soon it started leaking near the city limits, and into the lakes and ponds. More and more people were starting to get sick. We were instructed to stay as close into the middle of town as possible. As the radiation started to slow, we were gradually allowed to come back out. Most societies that weren't us had broken down; we were one of the few that had managed"

"During the time we came together, I met many people around my age, and made friends with many of them. Coming to think about it, if I hadn't made those friends, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. Just the thought of getting back to them helped me through most of my journey. Of course they got… changed as well, but more on that later."

It twas' early in the morning, about 6 o'clock, all through the house not a- "NOVA YOU ATE MY RATIONS GOD DAMNIT!" The girl flew through the house and jumped straight onto a bed. My bed. "Owwwww!" I shouted. "Claire we've been over this! It was not me, you ate them last night." Claire started to protest "But... but… fine, fine, but I'm watching you." "Could you get off my bed?" I asked as she started to redden. "Su- sure… sorry. Hey since you're awake, you want some breakfast?" "Sure, thanks" I said as I plopped down on my pillow. Claire was a nice enough girl, fast to react, but also fast to calm down. She was very 'in tune' with nature, so she did most of the things concerning plants and gardening. There was only one other person in the house, and he went by the name of Brian. He was calmer than everyone, most of the time. When he was pissed, he was one to be avoided.

Most of the younger generation lived in the same vicinity. Because of the bomb strikes, our parents wanted us to be more independent and not rely on them always. For the most part it worked, we visit them sometimes, but mostly we have our little community. Everyone has their part throughout to make sure we stay alive. There are farmers, engineers (mostly for fixing, not creating), there are builders, and many others. I was assigned to be an engineer, because I knew how things worked for the most part.

I grunted getting out of bed; I'm not a morning person, unlike Claire. Putting on my clothes, I came out to where we usually ate seeing both my roommates already there. *yawn* "Hello to you both" I said, sitting down at the table sleepily. "So I heard you got woken up quite wildly this morning" Brian said. "I don't wanna talk about, today was one of the days I would actually have been able to sleep in." I said groggily. A voice piped up from the kitchen, "Well maybe if you would've reminded me-" "I was asleep!" I shouted. "... oh yeah."

We ate breakfast in silence, before they departed to do their various jobs today. I sat around for a small bit, reading, and messing around. With my short attention span though, i didn't get long before needing to do something else. So i went for a walk. The walk that would forever change my life.

Come to think of it, i could blame all of this on my attention span couldn't i?

What do you all think? I'm a new writer, so i hope i didn't let you down too much. because of being a new writer, i ask you for some tips, in the form of review. It would mean a whole lot to me if everyone who reads this leaves a tip for me, or even just tell me how you like it so far, and if i should continue. With that i pose some questions.

How do you like the POV? I had a hard time choosing, so i just went with what felt right

Am i going too fast, too slow, or just right? I am not going to be able to write the huge, 10,000 word chapters that lots of people love right off the bat, but with some work on how fast the story progresses, i hope i can get there.

Should i continue? If people don't like my story, then i'm not going to waste a lot of time typing it out. I need to know how many of you like it, and how many of you don't (and maybe how many of you think it would be better with some changes)

So please review, answer some questions, ask some questions. If I get some good reviews then i will begin the second chapter. Thank you all.

(Also I am terrible with names, so if you think of a better name floor this story, PM me)

P.S. I'm in need of a beta reader *wink wink*
