In the Beginning: The Tale of Mew

by Polursine

My telling of the tales in which Pokemon first came about, according to Diamond and Pearl. Tells of the birth of Mew from Arceus, and the havoc across Orre before the GameCube games. Simple fan fiction. Planned out, but not finished.

IN THE BEGINNING

The tale of Mew

Prologue

Pain. Suffering. Fear. Darkness.

He wrestled in his sleep.

Isolation. Terror. Insanity. Mystery.

It wouldn't stop. It had gone on too long. No more, he begged. Please, stop this damn nightmare before it consumes us all.

A blur of white, and a scurry of hooves. The winds picked up in the darkened place. How can something exist in such blackness? The pain of not seeing any light, of not having contact with any physical being. How?

He sat up, eyes wide open in shock. Sweat dripped from his head. The dream had eaten him whole, but he had passed the test. His breath slowed, and returned to normal rate. "Test?" he whispered into the night. He pondered at what the test was, and how he had come to taking it.

That tale? He thought. A connection, perhaps?

In a far away place not known to man, sat a pink being. It cowered in the shades of the surrounding trees. Its bright blue eyes hung low and heavy. The body lay huddled and motionless. What this thing had experienced was not natural.

And not possible.
