CHAPTER 2
They put their school bags on the couch, and then opened them.
Inside, there were no school books; there was Bounce and Blitz.
Bounce and Blitz are actually Mews.
Mews are a very rare Pokémon, with a very long tail, huge feet, short arms and legs, and no visible mouth. Their eyes are almond-shaped, and their skin is a pale-pink color.
Blitz is Bounce's younger brother, and Blitz is whiter and smaller than Bounce.
They have really long names, but I can't remember their full names right now, so we just call them Blitz and Bounce for short.
Their father is... erm, was the Mew who gave us our morphing power. But he was murdered by Parasecter One.
Parasecter One is one big, bad Weederpie. He's like a Weederpie leader.
His host is a Mewtwo. Yes, the one and only Mewtwo.
Anyway, since Mews are only about a foot high, they were able to fit in Lisa's and Boris' school bags quite comfortably.
"So, how was school bag express?" I asked them.
When they didn't understand the question, Lisa answered for them.
"Horrible," she said. "A lady on the elevator thought my bag was alive!"
˂I got an itch,˃ Bounce explained in the strange thought-speak voice Mews use. ˂It was very unpleasant.˃
"What I wanna know is why we didn't just meet in the fields," Boris said.
"Because there are a lot of trainers out there these days," Rachel said. "One of them could have seen Bounce or Blitz."
Bounce nodded. ˂Blitz and I can morph into our Nidoran forms if any trainers are nearby. But there is always the risk of one of us being caught in a Pokéball.˃
"So, what are we going to do now?" Lisa asked.
We all thought for a moment.
˂Well, Bounce and I could look for any Weederpie facilities,˃ Blitz said. ˂I mean, they've gotta design and create the Draks somewhere, don't they?˃
Remember those genes I mentioned, the ones that are needed for a Pokémon to support a Weederpie? Well, that's what they're called, Draks.
"Parasecter One probably knows that we exist, though," Rachel said quietly. "I mean, that Pinsir saw us morphing, and it saw Bounce and Blitz, so Parasecter One must know we're going to fight them."
We all thought about that for a moment, then I said, "Why don't we go to the press? If we tell them about the Weederpies, surely they'll help out!"
Boris raised his eyebrows. "Yeah," he said, his voice slowly rising. "Yeah! If they don't believe us, we'll just morph!"
Lisa grinned and nodded. "They'd have to believe us!"
˂Could you please not tell anyone about Blitz and I?˃ Bounce asked.
"Why not?" I asked.
But Rachel understood, and said, "If people realize there's a special and very rare type of Pokémon, and there's two hanging out with us, they'll try to catch them. Some trainers are decent, but others are greedy. We understand, Bounce. We won't tell anyone."
We all nodded, agreeing.
"So where should we go?" Boris asked.
"Let's just barge into the TV studios nearby," Lisa said.
"Now?" I squeaked.
"Now," Lisa said.
Author's Annotation: An impromptu visit to TV studios? Nothing can go wrong with this plan.
And I'm disappointed I missed the opportunity for a joke about trainers wanting to complete their Pokédexes.
