MEW'S NIGHTMARE
Chapter One

Over the view that stretched from the top of Cameran Palace, a mysterious blonde young woman hovered with a glider. In the dark of the night, this woman's face could not be easily identified.

"This is Double 09 to Giovanni. Can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear."

"I'm sending in the coordinates to where rumours of the mysteriously powerful ancient Pokémon are. This just might be the place."

"Good. Send it in immediately and gather as much information about the place as you can."

"Copy that. Over and out."

A smile crept on the man's dimly lit face as he ended the call. In his luxurious office of expensive furniture and fine china, he glanced out the large glass window, staring into the night whilst petting his Persian.

"It won't be long now," he sneered. "Until I have grasped yet another golden opportunity."

A framed picture of what seemed like an ancient engraving of a small feline-like Pokémon with a long slender tail hung by his wall. "Soon, I will find you… And then we shall see how great your power truly is," he murmurs to himself looking over the framed picture. "And once I wield it, no one can stop me."

His sinister chuckle then echoed throughout the halls of his office.

Tucked comfortably in her basket of leaves and flower petals, the rose-pink legendary Pokémon slept pleasantly. Mew dreamt she was in a beautiful vast meadow filled with a variety of fragrant flowers and dandelions. It was twilight, and the sky was coloured in gold and scarlet hues. The clouds appeared soft and puffy. A playful thought then came to her mind. Slowly, Mew flew upwards to see if she could play on those fluffy white cottons that floated in the sky. In her dreams, she knew she could do anything.

As she soared up, something – rather, someone, had caught her attention.

Not far from the edge of the meadow was a cliff that permitted a breath-taking view of the endless sea, and a sunset blinding the point where the sky meets the sea. However, it was not the cliff that took her attention, nor was it the sunset or sea. It was the one looking towards the distance. The one who stood tall and proud by the end of the cliff – it was, Mewtwo.

Mew slowly hovered towards her clone, not wanting to surprise him nor immediately make her presence known. Just when she was about a few meters away, Mewtwo turned to face her.

"Hello, Mew." He said nonchalantly yet not without a small smile.

Mew could only give a small awkward wave.

"Oh, umm… Mewtwo," she whispers to herself.

She did not immediately realise nor recognise why she felt this way towards him for she had not expected it. Albeit it was not a feeling of uneasiness or discomfort, rather a slight shyness – such as having imaginary butterflies within her stomach. Funny. This was not the way she felt when she first met him.

"Won't you come by and say hello?"

Mew quickly shook off her pondering. "Oh! Yes, uh, hello Mewtwo!" she said in her usual cheerful self. She then levitated over towards him. However, just as she drew closer, dark clouds suddenly engulfed the twilight sky. Strong winds blew away the field of flowers and dandelions. The dandelion seeds danced gracefully despite the harsh gush of wind. Mew noticed the sudden change of environment and wondered if Mewtwo was doing any of these actions.

"Mewtwo, are you… doing this?" she asked nervously.

There was no response from him. Only a cold stare.

"Mewtwo… Please, answer me!"

Out of the blue, a flash of lightning crashed between the distance of the two legendary Pokémon, cleanly slicing off the platform Mewtwo was standing on.

"MEWTWO!"

Another sudden jolt of blue lightning then struck her, paralyzing her entire body. "ARGH!" Mew cried out in pain.

Mewtwo, closing his eyes, fell into the cruel waters of the sea which had transformed into angry blue flames. Watching him fall and not being able to do anything about it filled her heart with angst, and her eyes with tears. Mew could not even make use of any of her psychic powers. She felt helpless, her innate optimism had begun to slowly fade away.

"Finally, I have found you," came a voice she could not recognize. "You will be mine, to be used as I please!"

"No! Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you doing this?"

Dozens of thoughts clouded the little Pokémon's head. Though she was afraid, she would not hold back for she was determined to get some answers.

"Your power is vital to my strength… your home will nourish this power. It all shall be mine!"

She then took a quick glimpse back at the meadow. The once lush beauty had burned down, all that remained was ash. Ash from the wrath of the fires that had surrounded her. From the now black sky, dimmed by the swirling storm clouds, formed a pair of blood red eyes gleaming with hatred, wrath, and a lust for power. The swirling clouds then drew in closer to Mew as to engulf her in pure darkness.

"You shall succumb to me."

"NO!"

Jumping from her basket with wide panic-stricken eyes and beads of sweat dripping down her soft pale fur, Mew had awoken from yet another nightmare. She still felt her heart beating rapidly and her small paws trembling.

"Yet another nightmare haunts me… could this all be more than just a dream?" she quietly asked herself.

She then looked up towards the night sky. The stars twinkled like diamonds, and the moon shone ever so softly and brightly. This peaceful beauty had calmed her down.

"Was this… a vision? A latent of evil intention and pure malice upon me and the Tree of Beginning?" Mew slowly closed her eyes to calm her nerves; in sincerity yet with a hint of courage. "I will not let this evil befall me, my home, or any of the Pokémon who dwell in it."

Mew then flew over to one of her favourite areas within the Tree of Beginning – a cliff that overlooked the serene beauty of a valley in the Kanto region. There, she sought comfort and serenity. Overlooking the view, she was reminded of the many wild Pokémon that dwell in harmony there. She recalled how she had expressed such appreciation to the kindness of the humans who kept it as is; to disrupt the peace would be unthinkable and would bring great jeopardy to her homeland. Her attention was then captured by the bright pale glowing orb in the night sky which was the full moon. This made her ponder more deeply on her dreams and on the one who incessantly appears in it.

"Though the events in my nightmares or dreams turn out differently each time… you… You were always there. What does it mean?"

Mew recalled the war that had almost occurred in the kingdom of Cameran centuries ago. If it were not for such noble and brave souls. She then recalled the battle with the clones and with Mewtwo. Fighting was not always the answer, but she strongly believed that to defend and protect all those she cared and loved for would mean for her to stand her ground.

Mew sat on a grassy patch on the cliff. The cool white glow from the moon gave her a brighter and paler hue. Remembering thoughts of him made her blood rush, and so, quite lightheaded. Albeit she did not really know why, she felt that deep in her heart she truly cares for him and does indeed miss him. She has long before accepted him, all his flaws, all that he is.

"The moon looks beautifully bright tonight… I wish he sees it, the way I do."
