Chapter One Today was the day. Doug had waited forever to get his Pokemon license and the day had finally come. Doug ran down the street that led to Professor Oak. Oak had told him that he would receive a very special Pokemon.
"I hope its a Charmander. Or even a Bulbasaur.", Doug told himself as he ran.
Doug finally arrived at the lab and ran inside. Doug spotted Oak and ran up to him.
"I'm here Professor!"
"You don't have to yell. I'm not deaf.", Oak said annoyed.
"Sorry."
"That's ok. I understand your excitement. I'll get your Pokemon.
Oak went over to a small box and opened it. Inside was a Pokeball.
"This Pokemon is very special. It belonged to a good friend of mine and now I'm giving it to you."
Oak handed Doug the Pokeball.
"What is it? A Charmander?"
"I'm afraid not but I'm sure you'll love it."
Doug threw the Pokeball and it landed on the ground with a thud. Suddenly the Pokeball opened to reveal the Pokemon.
"Mew.", the Pokemon said.
"Your giving me a cat?", Doug said disappointed.
"That isn't a cat! Its a Mew! One of the rarest Pokemon ever!"
"A Mew?"
Oak pulled out a Pokedex and pointed it at the Mew.
"Mew. A Pokemon of the psychic type. No more information available at this time.", the Pokedex explained.
"Wow.", Doug said amazed.
Doug picked up the Pokeball and looked at the Mew. It was a very small Pokemon with a long tail. Its eyes were big and blue.
"Hello Mew. I'm going to be your trainer."
"Mew!", it said happily.
"He seems to like you a lot better then me."
"What do you mean?"
"The only reason this Mew was given to me was because it always ignored my friend. It ignored me and every other trainer until you."
"Mew.", the Pokemon agreed.
"You better get going. Viridian City is a long distance from here."
"Ok. Come on Mew."
Doug pointed the Pokeball at Mew and the Pokemon returned to the ball.
Chapter Two The road leading to Viridian city was a very quiet road. Doug didn't see anyone or anything around. Doug thought he had seen a Pokemon in the grass but decided it wasn't anything. He finally came up to a large tree and sat down under it to eat his lunch. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining brightly. Doug thought about bringing Mew out of the Pokeball but decided that it would be better to save Mew's strength. Doug started thinking about how all this had started. He was fifteen years old and had never thought about becoming a trainer. He had planned on being a Paleontologist and digging for Pokemon fossils. He had read every book and even had a scholarship to one of the best Colleges around. But everything changed after he had heard one of his best friends had left on his Pokemon journey. After Eddie had left, Doug had gone to Oak's to check on his progress. He had started with a Squirtle and was doing pretty good. He had 6 Pokemon and had 3 badges. Doug had received a letter telling him that he wished Doug was there with him to help him catch Pokemon and to keep him company. So , after a few days of thinking, Doug decided to get his Pokemon License. It didn't take long to get the license, but he had to wait almost a month before Oak said he had a Pokemon for him. And so that was how it all started. Just as Doug finished thinking about the last few months, Doug heard a load sound in the grass. Doug looked closely and saw an amazing site. There was a large blue Pokemon looking at him from the grass. It looked like it was mad.
"I wonder what that is? I better use Pokedex."
Doug pointed the Pokedex at the Pokemon.
"Pikablu. A Pokemon of the Ice Type. Considered the most territorial and will fight with little provocation."
Suddenly, the Pikablu jumped out of the grass.
"Pikablu!"
Just as it said that, it fired its Ice Beam attack. Doug jumped out of the way and saw the Beam turn the tree into pure ice.
"Ok, I'm freaked out now!"
"Pikablu! Pika!"
Doug thought about running away as fast as he could but then thought that this Pokemon would be a good one to catch.
"Ok Mew! Go!"
The Pokeball landed and out came Mew.
"Mew! Slam attack!"
Mew flew at the Pokemon and hit it in the head. The Pikablu shook its head and looked madder then before.
"Pikablu!"
Pikablu fired his Ice Beam right at Mew.
"Mew! Defense Bubble!"
Mew formed his Psychic Bubble just before the beam hit it. The bubble managed to protect Mew but Doug could see Mew looked a little weaker then before. Doug then looked at Pikablu and got a surprise. Mew's defensive move had not only blocked the ice beam but had deflected some of it back to the Pikablu. Pikablu was frozen solid! Doug pulled out a Pokeball and threw it at the Pokemon. After a few seconds Doug had Pikablu.
"Great job Mew!"
"Mew.", he said proudly.
Chapter Three Viridian City at last! It had taken Doug almost three days to get there and he was tired. Doug hadn't seen any other Pokemon after Pikablu so he still had only two Pokemon. Both Mew and Pikablu were still tired from the battle they had fought so he took them to the Pokemon Center to heal. As soon as he had done that Doug went to the Cafeteria to get a drink. After getting his drink and sitting at a window booth, Doug looked out the window. Viridian City was pretty big and had a lot of tourist attractions. Doug also saw other Pokemon trainers and they're Pokemon. Some only had one but a lot of them had six. After a few minutes one of the trainers entered the cafeteria and was trying to find a place to sit.
"You can sit here."
"Thanks. My names Ron."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Doug."
Ron and Doug talked for almost an hour. Ron was a Pokemon Trainer from Celadon City. The Pokemon that he had were a Pidgey, a Caterpie, and a Pikachu. Pikachu was his starting Pokemon.
"There are a lot of trainers here.", Doug said.
"Yeah. The city is holding a Pokemon Convention. There's also going to be a Tournament held for late trainers."
"Sounds like fun."
"Yep. I'm a late trainer so I'm already signed up. Why don't you sign up too. Your Pokemon sound like they have a shot at winning."
"Ok. I'm going to pick up my Pokemon now."
After Doug Picked up his Pokemon he met Ron at the entrance to the Convention.
"They also have Pokemon for sale. If you want to get another we can go there.", Ron suggested after they entered.
Doug agreed and they went looking for Pokemon. After about an hour Doug had seen several Pokemon he liked.
"I could get Ditto. But that Rattata looks good too.", Doug said.
"There's also a Sandshrew for half price.", Ron replied.
Doug started feeling confused and wasn't to sure about buying a Pokemon. Just when Doug thought his head was going to explode he heard a strange sound.
"Did you hear that?", Doug asked Ron.
"No. What was it?"
"Toki!"
This time they both heard it. They followed the sound to a small room. Inside was a cage with a strange little Pokemon inside it.
"Toki!", it replied.
"I wonder what it is?", Ron said confused.
Doug got out his Pokedex and pointed it at the Pokemon.
"Togepi. A rare egg Pokemon. No further information available."
"Interested in this Pokemon?", a strange man said.
"That's an interesting Pokemon. Where did you get it?", Doug asked.
"I'd rather not say. Don't want people to know so they can get there own.", the man replied.
"How much is it?", Ron asked suspicious.
"The normal asking price is One Thousand. But I'll let you have it for Five Hundred."
"Sorry but that's too much for me.", Doug said disappointed.
Doug and Ron began to leave.
"Wait! You have to buy it! The little monster won't be quiet and its driving me crazy!", the man pleaded.
"Sorry but all I can spend on a Pokemon is Twenty five."
"Sold!"
The man quickly grabbed the money and handed Togepi to Doug. After that he ran off as quickly as he could.
"Talk about your speedy delivery.", Ron said.
"Toki.", Agreed Togepi.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
"Hurry up you two! We need to find Togepi!", Misty said worried.
"Don't worry. I'm sure Togepi is fine.", Ash replied.
"Yeah. Togepi was only kidnapped so it could be sold for a ton of money.", Brock added.
"I know. I just hope he's ok."
"The clue we found said that Togepi would be here. We just have to keep looking. Brock said.
"I'll go ask Officer Jenny for help.", Ash suggested.
"I'll go look for him at the Pokemon Convention.", said Brock.
"I'll go with you. Be ok Togepi."
Just as the three Pokemon trainers went to work looking for Togepi, Doug and Ron had arrived at the Tournament registration office.
"Just sign these papers and will get you entered into the tournament.", the receptionist said.
Doug filled out the papers and got entered in the Tournament.
"What do you want to do now?", Ron asked.
"Toki."
"I think I better get a Pokeball and put Togepi away. I didn't enter him in the tournament because he's so small and I don't want him wandering off."
"Don't worry. I can hold him for you."
Ron took Togepi from Doug. Togepi began to cry.
"Whoa!"
Ron quickly handed the Pokemon back to Doug and he began to smile again.
"Wow. Spooky.", Ron said amazed.
"Get your hands off my Pokemon!", Misty yelled as she run up.
Misty grabbed Togepi from Doug's hands and began to hug him.
"Toki!", the Pokemon said happily.
"Your Pokemon?", Doug said amazed.
"Yeah. You stole him from me. Your not going to sell him for a ton of money you jerk."
Ron and Doug looked at each other. Stolen?!
"Sorry. We didn't know Togepi belonged to you. I bought him from a guy who sold him to me for twenty five dollars.", Doug explained.
"Why should I believe you.", Misty replied.
Doug pulled out his Pokedex.
"My Pokedex has a special added feature. It supplies me with a list of places that I have been."
Doug handed it to Misty and she looked at it.
"Oh. Sorry."
"That's ok."
Brock finally ran up.
"You found Togepi!", Brock said happily.
"Yeah. Theses two saved him."
"All in a days work.", Ron said
Doug, Misty, and Brock looked at Ron as if he was crazy. Just then, Ash ran up.
"I couldn't find Officer Jenny.", Ash said.
"Toki!"
"You found him. Good work Misty."
"Actually, these two guys found him.", Misty explained.
After a few minutes of explaining and introductions the Pokemon trainers went to the cafeteria to talk some more.
"So you followed the kidnapper all the way from Fuchsia City?", Doug asked amazed.
"Yep. I would never let someone take my baby.", Misty replied.
"Your baby?", Ron asked shocked.
"I was the first person Togepi saw so it thinks I'm it's mother."
"I guess that would make Doug the father.", Ron said giggling.
Both Doug and Misty yelled, "That's not funny!"
"Sorry, but Togepi seems to like Doug too.", Ron apologized.
"I wonder why?", Brock asked.
"I think I know.", Doug answered.
Doug opened his bag and pulled out the leftover bits of a sandwich.
"Gross! What is that smell?", Ash asked
"Its what's left of my tuna fish, peanut butter, and pickle sandwich.", Doug answered.
Suddenly, Togepi jumped up and grabbed the sandwich. After a few seconds the sandwich was gone.
"Hungry little guy, isn't he.", Ron said stunned.
"That's nothing. You should see Pikablu eat a snow cone.", Doug replied.
Chapter Four "Where is that guy. I'm hungry and he's suppose to have the money here by now.", Meowth complained.
Team Rocket was hiding out in an abandoned shed just outside of Viridian.
"Stop complaining. He'll be here or his Pokemon stays ours.", Jessie said.
Just then the man who had stolen Togepi ran up to the shed.
"Its about time. How much did you get for the runt? One thousand? Two thousand?", James asked hopeful.
"Um...twenty five.", the man replied slowly.
"Alright! twenty five thousand! we're rich!", James yelled happily.
"Um..no. I only got twenty five."
The man showed the money in his hand.
"I don't believe this. You sold a rare Pokemon for only twenty five bucks?!", Jessie yelled angrily.
"I'm sorry. It wouldn't be quiet. Could I have my Pokemon back please.", the man pleaded.
"No! Because of your actions I'm keeping this Pokemon. Now go away!", Jessie answered.
The man ran away scared.
"Great. You get a new Pokemon and I starve.", Meowth said.
Jessie thought about going over to Meowth and knocking the day lights out of him but got a better idea.
"Since we don't have any money, lets steal the money from the Pokemon Convention."
"Pokemon too?", James asked hopefully.
"Pokemon too."
Chapter Five Ash, Misty, Brock, Doug, and Ron at this time were at the Viridian Gym. The Gym was being used for the Tournament.
"The Tournament will begin in one hour.", the announcer told everyone.
"Hope I'm ready for this.", Doug said nervously.
"You'll do great.", Misty replied.
"Pikachu!", Pikachu agreed.
"Toki.", Togepi added.
"Look at that. Doug already has a fan club.", Ash said.
"Its more then you got Ash.", Brock replied.
Doug and Ron went to the back room to get they're Pokemon ready. The tournament would only allow the use of two Pokemon so Ron chose his Pikachu and Pidgey. Doug and Ron saw close too a dozen trainers with all kinds of Pokemon.
"Still think I have a chance?", Doug asked Ron.
"About as much as me.", Ron answered.
"That bad?"
"Right."
Suddenly there was a huge explosion. Everyone was thrown in to the wall. After the dust and the ringing went away, Doug and Ron got up. Everyone else was knocked out, even the Pokemon. Doug and Ron hurried out to the Gym floor and saw an amazing site. Everyone in the Gym was either knocked out or dazed.
"What happened?", Ron asked shocked.
"We happened!", Meowth answered.
"Give us your Pokemon or else.", James added.
"Or we'll take them by force.", Jessie added too.
"Team Rocket?", Misty said surprised.
Ash and Misty were ok. Pikachu and Togepi were next to them.
"I see you got your little Togepi back. To bad we'll be taken it back.", Jessie replied.
"We'll also take your Pikachu.", Jessie added.
"Not on your life! Pikachu! Thundershock!", Ash yelled.
Pikachu launched his attack but it was blocked by some sort of force field.
"How did they do that?", Misty said in shock.
Suddenly they saw something floating behind Team Rocket. Then it flew over they're heads and they all saw what it was.
"Oh no! A Mew!", Doug said in shock.
Chapter Six Team Rocket has a Mew?! Doug was in shock. The Mew that they had looked just like his but it looked like there was something on its head.
"None of you stand a chance against our Mew. Give up your Pokemon now!", Jessie demanded.
Both Ash and Misty answered her threat by throwing Pokeballs.
"Go Charizard!", Ash yelled.
"Horsea go!", Misty added.
Charizard appeared and roared so load some of the ceiling fell. The Horsea landed in a puddle and absorbed the water. Ron had thrown out his Pikachu and it was standing next to Ash's Pikachu.
"Four against one?! That's not fair!", James complained.
Both Jessie and James threw they're Pokeballs and out came Arbok and Weezing.
"Arbok! Sting missile!", Jessie ordered.
"Weezing! Sludge attack!", James added.
Arbok's attack hit Charizard but didn't do much damage. Weezing's attack managed to hit Horsea and it was blinded.
"Pikachu! Thundershock!, Ash and Ron ordered.
The two Pikachus managed to hit Weezing and the Pokemon collapsed. Misty called Horsea back.
"They took out my Weezing!", James complained.
"Like that's never happened before.", Meowth replied.
"Quiet you too! Mew! Psychic attack!
Mew began to glow and Both Ash and Misty flew back to the wall and were pinned there.
"Ash! Misty!", Doug yelled.
Doug pulled out a Pokeball and threw it at the Arbok. Pikablu popped out.
"Pikablu!"
The Pokemon fired its Ice Beam at the Arbok. The beam hit it hard and it fell on its side frozen solid.
"Mew! Psychic attack that Pokemon!", Jessie ordered.
Mew fired a psychic bolt at Pikablu and knocked it out.
"Pikablu! Return!", Doug called.
Pikablu returned to his Pokeball.
"Doug! get Mew out there!", Ron yelled.
Doug didn't know what to do. His Mew wasn't any match for that Pokemon. Suddenly Doug saw the man from the Convention run in.
"Mew! Stop this!" the man yelled.
Doug was in shock. Did that Mew belong to him?! That was when it hit him. That strange thing on the Mew's head was some sort of controller. Team Rocket had stolen the Mew.
"Ash! I have a plan! Tell Charizard to use his Flame-thrower! I'm going to use Mew to get rid of the Mind control device on its head!", Doug pleaded.
Ash heard him and had Charizard begin the attack.
"Ron! get the Pikachus to hit it too!"
Ron heard him too and the Pikachus began they're attack. Doug began to see the Mew's Psychic Bubble start to fade.
"Mew! Go!", Doug called.
The Pokeball landed and Mew appeared.
"Mew! Slam Attack its head!"
Mew flew at the other Mew as fast as it could. It hit the Mew with a loud thud and Doug could see the device was cracked.
"Mew. Psychic attack now!"
Mew began to glow. It glowed so bright everyone had to turn away. When the light had faded all of the Pokemon were on the ground asleep. All of them except the two Mews.
Jessie saw this moment and yelled "Mew! Hit that other Mew now!"
Both Mews looked over at Jessie. Both Mews looked exactly the same!
"Jessie? Didn't our Mew have a little mind control device on it?", James asked nervously.
Both Mews looked at Team Rocket with angry faces.
"Oh no! Run!", Meowth yelled.
Suddenly Team Rocket was floating in the air.
"Something tells me this is going to hurt.", Jessie moaned.
Suddenly Team Rocket launched into the air and faded in the distance.
"We did it!", Ash cheered.
"No. Doug did it!", Ron corrected.
Chapter Seven A few hours after the battle and all the Pokemon had been healed the entire group had a small party to celebrate.
"How did you know the Mew was being controlled by Team Rocket.", Misty asked.
"I didn't know until Mr. Psychic ran in.", Dou explained.
Mr. Psychic had told them all about how Team Rocket had stolen his Pokemon and wanted a lot of money for it's return. He also explained that he hadn't wanted to steal Togepi but he didn't know how else to get the money.
"When I heard the explosion at the Gym I knew Team Rocket was using Mew to steal Pokemon so I hurried in.", Mr. Psychic explained.
"Good thing. Team Rocket would have won that one for sure.", Brock replied.
Just then the head of the Tournament walked in.
"I just came to tell you all thank you and to give something special to Doug.", he explained.
The man walked up to Doug and pinned something to his jacket.
"What is this?", Doug asked.
"Because we have had to call off the Tournament due to the damaged Gym. We have decided to award this badge to you. It will allow you to enter the Pokemon League Championship at the end of the year."
Doug looked at the badge. It looked like a small Pokeball.
"Thank you sir.", Doug replied proudly.
"Congratulations Doug!", Everyone said together.
"Looks like you got some competition Ash.", Misty said.
"I can handle anything he throws at me.", Ash replied.
"Pikachu?", Pikachu said confused.
Everyone laughed.
"I've been thinking. Brock said after the laughter had stopped. Why don't you join us Doug. It would be nice to have you along."
Doug looked at Ron.
"Go ahead Doug. I've already got a few friends that I'm traveling with.", Ron said.
"You do?", Doug asked surprised.
"Yeah. Actually they're waiting for me in Pewter City. So I better get going, Bye everyone."
Everyone said they're good-byes and Ron left.
"So are you going to go with us?, Ash asked.
"Pikachu?", Pikachu added.
"Sure. These Pokemon journeys are all the same. There's nothing Mew about it!"
Everyone groaned.
"Sorry. I thought that was funny. Didn't you?"
The End
and
a New Beginning
"I hope its a Charmander. Or even a Bulbasaur.", Doug told himself as he ran.
Doug finally arrived at the lab and ran inside. Doug spotted Oak and ran up to him.
"I'm here Professor!"

"Its what's left of my tuna fish, peanut butter, and pickle sandwich.", Doug answered.
Suddenly, Togepi jumped up and grabbed the sandwich. After a few seconds the sandwich was gone.
"Hungry little guy, isn't he.", Ron said stunned.
"That's nothing. You should see Pikablu eat a snow cone.", Doug replied.
Chapter Four "Where is that guy. I'm hungry and he's suppose to have the money here by now.", Meowth complained.
Team Rocket was hiding out in an abandoned shed just outside of Viridian.
"Stop complaining. He'll be here or his Pokemon stays ours.", Jessie said.
Just then the man who had stolen Togepi ran up to the shed.
"Its about time. How much did you get for the runt? One thousand? Two thousand?", James asked hopeful.
"Um...twenty five.", the man replied slowly.
"Alright! twenty five thousand! we're rich!", James yelled happily.
"Um..no. I only got twenty five."
The man showed the money in his hand.
"I don't believe this. You sold a rare Pokemon for only twenty five bucks?!", Jessie yelled angrily.
"I'm sorry. It wouldn't be quiet. Could I have my Pokemon back please.", the man pleaded.
"No! Because of your actions I'm keeping this Pokemon. Now go away!", Jessie answered.
The man ran away scared.
"Great. You get a new Pokemon and I starve.", Meowth said.
Jessie thought about going over to Meowth and knocking the day lights out of him but got a better idea.
"Since we don't have any money, lets steal the money from the Pokemon Convention."
"Pokemon too?", James asked hopefully.
"Pokemon too."
Chapter Five Ash, Misty, Brock, Doug, and Ron at this time were at the Viridian Gym. The Gym was being used for the Tournament.
"The Tournament will begin in one hour.", the announcer told everyone.
"Hope I'm ready for this.", Doug said nervously.
"You'll do great.", Misty replied.
"Pikachu!", Pikachu agreed.
"Toki.", Togepi added.
"Look at that. Doug already has a fan club.", Ash said.
"Its more then you got Ash.", Brock replied.
Doug and Ron went to the back room to get they're Pokemon ready. The tournament would only allow the use of two Pokemon so Ron chose his Pikachu and Pidgey. Doug and Ron saw close too a dozen trainers with all kinds of Pokemon.
"Still think I have a chance?", Doug asked Ron.
"About as much as me.", Ron answered.
"That bad?"
"Right."
Suddenly there was a huge explosion. Everyone was thrown in to the wall. After the dust and the ringing went away, Doug and Ron got up. Everyone else was knocked out, even the Pokemon. Doug and Ron hurried out to the Gym floor and saw an amazing site. Everyone in the Gym was either knocked out or dazed.
"What happened?", Ron asked shocked.
"We happened!", Meowth answered.
"Give us your Pokemon or else.", James added.
"Or we'll take them by force.", Jessie added too.
"Team Rocket?", Misty said surprised.
Ash and Misty were ok. Pikachu and Togepi were next to them.
"I see you got your little Togepi back. To bad we'll be taken it back.", Jessie replied.
"We'll also take your Pikachu.", Jessie added.
"Not on your life! Pikachu! Thundershock!", Ash yelled.
Pikachu launched his attack but it was blocked by some sort of force field.
"How did they do that?", Misty said in shock.
Suddenly they saw something floating behind Team Rocket. Then it flew over they're heads and they all saw what it was.
"Oh no! A Mew!", Doug said in shock.
Chapter Six Team Rocket has a Mew?! Doug was in shock. The Mew that they had looked just like his but it looked like there was something on its head.
"None of you stand a chance against our Mew. Give up your Pokemon now!", Jessie demanded.
Both Ash and Misty answered her threat by throwing Pokeballs.
"Go Charizard!", Ash yelled.
"Horsea go!", Misty added.
Charizard appeared and roared so load some of the ceiling fell. The Horsea landed in a puddle and absorbed the water. Ron had thrown out his Pikachu and it was standing next to Ash's Pikachu.
"Four against one?! That's not fair!", James complained.
Both Jessie and James threw they're Pokeballs and out came Arbok and Weezing.
"Arbok! Sting missile!", Jessie ordered.
"Weezing! Sludge attack!", James added.
Arbok's attack hit Charizard but didn't do much damage. Weezing's attack managed to hit Horsea and it was blinded.
"Pikachu! Thundershock!, Ash and Ron ordered.
The two Pikachus managed to hit Weezing and the Pokemon collapsed. Misty called Horsea back.
"They took out my Weezing!", James complained.
"Like that's never happened before.", Meowth replied.
"Quiet you too! Mew! Psychic attack!
Mew began to glow and Both Ash and Misty flew back to the wall and were pinned there.
"Ash! Misty!", Doug yelled.
Doug pulled out a Pokeball and threw it at the Arbok. Pikablu popped out.
"Pikablu!"
The Pokemon fired its Ice Beam at the Arbok. The beam hit it hard and it fell on its side frozen solid.
"Mew! Psychic attack that Pokemon!", Jessie ordered.
Mew fired a psychic bolt at Pikablu and knocked it out.
"Pikablu! Return!", Doug called.
Pikablu returned to his Pokeball.
"Doug! get Mew out there!", Ron yelled.
Doug didn't know what to do. His Mew wasn't any match for that Pokemon. Suddenly Doug saw the man from the Convention run in.
"Mew! Stop this!" the man yelled.
Doug was in shock. Did that Mew belong to him?! That was when it hit him. That strange thing on the Mew's head was some sort of controller. Team Rocket had stolen the Mew.
"Ash! I have a plan! Tell Charizard to use his Flame-thrower! I'm going to use Mew to get rid of the Mind control device on its head!", Doug pleaded.
Ash heard him and had Charizard begin the attack.
"Ron! get the Pikachus to hit it too!"
Ron heard him too and the Pikachus began they're attack. Doug began to see the Mew's Psychic Bubble start to fade.
"Mew! Go!", Doug called.
The Pokeball landed and Mew appeared.
"Mew! Slam Attack its head!"
Mew flew at the other Mew as fast as it could. It hit the Mew with a loud thud and Doug could see the device was cracked.
"Mew. Psychic attack now!"
Mew began to glow. It glowed so bright everyone had to turn away. When the light had faded all of the Pokemon were on the ground asleep. All of them except the two Mews.
Jessie saw this moment and yelled "Mew! Hit that other Mew now!"
Both Mews looked over at Jessie. Both Mews looked exactly the same!
"Jessie? Didn't our Mew have a little mind control device on it?", James asked nervously.
Both Mews looked at Team Rocket with angry faces.
"Oh no! Run!", Meowth yelled.
Suddenly Team Rocket was floating in the air.
"Something tells me this is going to hurt.", Jessie moaned.
Suddenly Team Rocket launched into the air and faded in the distance.
"We did it!", Ash cheered.
"No. Doug did it!", Ron corrected.
Chapter Seven A few hours after the battle and all the Pokemon had been healed the entire group had a small party to celebrate.
"How did you know the Mew was being controlled by Team Rocket.", Misty asked.
"I didn't know until Mr. Psychic ran in.", Dou explained.
Mr. Psychic had told them all about how Team Rocket had stolen his Pokemon and wanted a lot of money for it's return. He also explained that he hadn't wanted to steal Togepi but he didn't know how else to get the money.
"When I heard the explosion at the Gym I knew Team Rocket was using Mew to steal Pokemon so I hurried in.", Mr. Psychic explained.
"Good thing. Team Rocket would have won that one for sure.", Brock replied.
Just then the head of the Tournament walked in.
"I just came to tell you all thank you and to give something special to Doug.", he explained.
The man walked up to Doug and pinned something to his jacket.
"What is this?", Doug asked.
"Because we have had to call off the Tournament due to the damaged Gym. We have decided to award this badge to you. It will allow you to enter the Pokemon League Championship at the end of the year."
Doug looked at the badge. It looked like a small Pokeball.
"Thank you sir.", Doug replied proudly.
"Congratulations Doug!", Everyone said together.
"Looks like you got some competition Ash.", Misty said.
"I can handle anything he throws at me.", Ash replied.
"Pikachu?", Pikachu said confused.
Everyone laughed.
"I've been thinking. Brock said after the laughter had stopped. Why don't you join us Doug. It would be nice to have you along."
Doug looked at Ron.
"Go ahead Doug. I've already got a few friends that I'm traveling with.", Ron said.
"You do?", Doug asked surprised.
"Yeah. Actually they're waiting for me in Pewter City. So I better get going, Bye everyone."
Everyone said they're good-byes and Ron left.
"So are you going to go with us?, Ash asked.
"Pikachu?", Pikachu added.
"Sure. These Pokemon journeys are all the same. There's nothing Mew about it!"
Everyone groaned.
"Sorry. I thought that was funny. Didn't you?"
