Chapter Two
Mew blinked open brown eyes to find herself in an enclosed space. She had a panic attack and jumped up, only to hit her head on something.
Where was she? She let out a shudder and slammed against the sides of what she was enclosed in, unsure of what exactly it was. She pounded and scratched the sides; she did not like it in here! She slammed a fist into the wall and let out a squeak of surprise when she tumbled out into the world in a flash of red light.
She blinked brown eyes and sighed, she was out. She shuddered. She absolutely hated cramped spaces! She rubbed her head as pain lanced through it. "God damn. I have one hell of a headache." she moaned
The trainer was standing there, slightly shocked, that she had popped out of the pokeball. The Houndoom shook his head "Well, you have a colorful vocabulary…." he rolled his eyes.
"Too cramped in the pokeball?" the trainer asked, smiling slightly. He shook his head and pushed a small strand of black hair out of his eyes.
Mew growled and turned to the Houndoom "Fuck wit!" she snapped at him; her face was contorted in a menacing snarl.
"Oh, I'm so hurt!" Houndoom said sarcastically, he staggered slightly as if she had hit him and laughed.
Mew rolled her eyes. "Where the hell are we?" she asked looking around worriedly. Then she a thought struck her, was she still a Charmander? She swung around to look for an orange tail with a flame...yup...still there. Still a Charmander.
The Houndoom gave her an odd look as she turned around to look at her tail; it was almost as though she was afraid that it wouldn't be there. He shrugged it off "We are almost at our trainer's house." he replied, pointing at the house with his muzzle.
Mew turned to look at the house and sighed "Wonderful..." she muttered. "I just had to go and trans-" she stopped glancing around, hoping the Houndoom hadn't heard. "Whatever…." she growled after a moment. She stood there, arms crossed, glaring at Houndoom.
He tilted his head to the side he had heard her mutter something, but hadn't caught exactly what she was muttering. He sighed and shook his head.
"Come along," the trainer said, continuing on to the house.
Houndoom followed along, glancing back to see if Charmander would follow.
Mew glanced at them and after a moments hesitation she followed, grumbling swear words and dire threats under her breath all the way to the house.
Houndoom perked his ears up at her cursing and threats and chuckled.
"Hey, if you don't like him you don't need to worry, we were looking for a starting Pokemon for his daughter for her birthday tomorrow, if that's any consolation..." Houndoom said, shrugging.
Mew snorted at him and narrowed her eyes.
"Oh, that makes me feel soooo much better!" she told him, she sighed inwardly, it looked like she had no choice but to do as they said, plus they had caught her in a pokeball, what more could she do? It was obvious that they didn't intend to hurt her, and that they had no idea that she was actually a Mew and not a Charmander. If she reveled herself for what she really was who knew what would happen to her.
Houndoom shrugged. "It's not so bad, once you get to know your trainer." he said, but decided to leave her alone.
"Okay... now you gotta stay out of sight of my daughter until tomorrow. She isn't home yet... but she'll be here any minute," the man said, and pointed at a large fence surrounding what was apparently the backyard. "That's where all my Pokemon are when I'm not traveling... don't stay in plain sight too long," he said, and patted the Charmander on the head.
"Mm. C'mon." Houndoom said, heading off to the fence.
Mew shrugged and sighed. "Whatever..." she muttered again. Houndooms' tail flicked in slight amusement at her attitude.
She turned to follow the Houndoom. Though she seemed angry and frustrated a spark of interest danced in her brown eyes. What would she find over there? Her stomach rumbled and she winced, hopefully she would find food.
Houndoom walked over to the side of the fence, moving to unlatch the door with his muzzle. He pawed at it and pushed it open, then glanced back at Mew. "Ladies first," he said, holding a paw out in an almost gentlemanly-like manner, almost.
A Meganium was sleeping peacefully right in the middle of the yard, a little bubble on its nose growing and then getting smaller every time she breathed in and out, and a Vulpix paused from playing tag with a young Houndour to glance over at the newcomer.
If Mew had still had ears she would have flicked them uncomfortably. She narrowed her eyes at the other Pokemon, what was she supposed to do here?
The young Houdour pup ran over, screaming "DADDY!!!" he collided with Mew, who was slammed to the ground with a squeal of anger.
"GET OFF OF ME!!!" she hollered at the pup, she pushed at the mass of fluffy fur that was slowly starting to suffocate her.
The Meganium's bubble popped from the scream of 'daddy' and she lazily opened one eye and looked over at the newcomer, though didn't move to greet her yet.
Houndoom chuckled. "Hey there, squirt!" he said, grinning at the pup. "Have you been good with Vulpix?" he asked, and then rose a brow. "Careful now," he said, when the Houndour had slammed into Mew.
Mew pushed the pup off of her, glared at the pup, and lifted herself up. She hissed angrily and dusted her legs and arms off before turning to look at the pup, who had a happy look plastered on his face.
"Puny little son of a bi-" She stopped, realizing that there was a pup in front of her and that it probably didn't know what a 'bitch' was so it wouldn't do much good to curse at it.
She fell silent and cast her gaze else where, thinking about how cute and fluffy the pup was and how much she just wanted to go over and 'strangle' the pup in a hug. She pictured the pup's face turning blue as she hugged the life out of it, but even though that thought put a smile on her face she was still pissed that she had been caught...it was obvious.
The Houndour raised his ears "What?" he asked unsure, first the Charmander had yelled at it and snarled angrily and now she had an evil smile on her face and was staring at him. His eyes grew wide and he glanced away, unnerved.
The pup shrugged it off and turned to his dad. "What happened?" he asked bouncing around his father "Tell me, tell me, tell me!!"
The Vulpix came over to their side, wagging its six tails. "Yeah, I wanna know to!" he said excitedly.
Houndoom chuckled. "Pretty much all we were doing was looking for a Charmander deep in the woods rather far from here. Took a long time... but we found one," he told them, glancing at Mew with a half-smile.
"Might I say, for a little Charmander, you put up a decent fight," he said, and turned so that they could see the scratches on his muzzle.
Mew shrugged and stared at the scratches she had put there, and she felt herself thinking that she hoped she had scarred the Houndoom's muzzle.
The pup glanced over at her and shuddered, there was that evil grin again, only this time that Charmander was staring at his father.
The Vulpix started bouncing and distracted Houndour. The pup shook his head, grinned and jumped up "WOW!" he shouted happily, staring at his father. He started to run around Vulpix "Oh my gosh! That's awesome! A new friend!" he barked.
"Yay!" Vulpix exclaimed, following the Houndour in a circle.
Mew just rolled her eyes again, "Oh boy!" she said sarcastically "A new hyperly annoying pup!"
The pup stopped and gave her an odd look, but he said nothing more.
Houndoom laughed. "Don't worry, you'll be rid of them tomorrow," he murmured to Mew. He flicked his ears sympathetically and turned away looking at his pup and the Vulpix with a bemused expression playing across his face.
Mew sighed, she was trapped. She winced inwardly as she watched the pup stumble over the Vulpix and fall head over heels into the side of the fence. Trapped! Trapped with a crazy Houndoom, a hyper Houndour and Vulpix and tomorrow her pokeball would be slapped onto the belt of a young trainer.
Life sucked!
