His world was all but silent as he slept. Only the bubbling of the brook around him kept the silence at bay. Though he was asleep, he was well aware of the creatures around him. Even though his mind was on other things, he knew they wouldn't hurt him.

They walked through the jungle intent on finding something. The remains of an ancient pokemon he sensed as he darted from tree to bush to crumbling wall around the group of humans. They paused at a wall with a stone carving of a cat. One of the humans pulled out a camera and snapped several pictures of the glyph.

He paused to touch the picture as he followed the humans. Rest in peace my brother he thought as he continued on. The humans were getting close to the remains of a home. One of houses many that he often visited. One of the humans turned as if sensing something. They all turned their attention to the nearest ruin as one gave a gleeful shout disturbing some nearby pokemon.

All is well he said to them as he moved to a hole in the wall to watch the humans. They had found the body of his brother, the last of his clan. His brother had died decades causing the humans to leave thinking they had lost the blessing of the Mew.

Mew watched as they moved his brother's body to a container which was passed to a human near the back of the group. That human put the container on his back like a pack. Within a few minutes the humans were on their way back the way they had come.

Good bye brother he said to his brother's body as it bobbed away on the back of a human. "You let them take your brother?" asked a Treeco as it dropped out of a nearby tree. Mew sensed more of its clan in the tree. I know what I'm doing Mew responded telepathically. Yes he could have spoken but he didn't want to take the time. This is the way it's meant to be Mew continued. For a life to be born, my brother's body must be taken. For a lesson to be learned, I must allow it. This jungle will always be under the protection of me, Celebi and Jirachi.

"If you say so, great protector" Treeco said.

Mew floated off without another word.
