A/N: Well time to start the second chapter of the story, and the first chapter was just posted a few minutes ago. Meh, I'll start it anyway, I'm sure I'll have some ideas from my reviewers before the chapter is done, and if not I guess I can always go back and touch up the story a bit.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, if I did, well lets just say I wouldn't have event Pokemon in the games. Instead they would be obtainable through difficult side quests.
Chapter 2: Aren't Criminals Supposed to be Smart?
Ash looked in wonderment at the buildings all around him. Seeing as he had never left Pallet Town before now he just wasn't ready for the shear size that Viridian City was in comparison to Pallet Town. But even with all his wonderment towards the new city, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty as he glanced down at the white pokeball on his belt.
He had decided before he entered the city that it would probably be a smart idea to not have Mew outside of her pokeball. From what Professor Oak had said Mew was a legendary pokemon, and from what little he knew about legendary pokemon, he fortunately knew that there were very few other trainers that would probably even think twice about trying to steal Mew from him. Plucking the pokeball from his belt, he brought it to his face glancing at it a moment, before deciding then and there that he needed to do something about this particular problem.
'Hm, I wonder if I could get something to prevent Mew's pokeball from being stolen, I mean a pokebelt really isn't that safe of a place to keep pokeballs all the time.' Ash thought to himself as he continued making his way down the street, Mew's pokeballs clutched tightly in his hand.
'I wonder if that one store might sell something like that. What did mom call that store again? Oh yeah the PokeMart.' Ash once again thought to himself before setting out to go to the PokeMart, well that is until he realized he had no clue where the PokeMart was.
"Um, excuse me, do you know were the PokeMart is?" Ash asked one of the numerous people walking down the street.
"Hm, oh yes the PokeMart is right down to the right a couple of blocks. It is a pretty large store with a blue roof, you can't miss it." The man Ash had asked replied, pointing the way to where he said the PokeMart was.
"Thank you!" Ash yelled before taking off in the direction of the PokeMart, Mew's pokeball clutched tightly in his grasp and a single goal in his mind as he continued to make his way through Viridian City.
Inside the PokeMart: Viridian City
"Wow, that was a bit farther away then I thought is would be." Ash muttered to himself as he made his may into the PokeMart, Mew's pokeball still held in his hand. It had taken him nearly a half hour to reach the PokeMart and he had even run part of the way to it. It just went to show how much larger Viridian City was then Pallet Town.
"Well I might as well ask to see if they have anything that might help." Ash said to himself as he walked towards a friendly looking store clerk that had just finished helping another costumer.
"Um excuse me, I was just wondering if you might carry anything that could help to prevent my pokemon from being stolen." Ash asked hopefully as his grip on Mew's pokeball tightened.
"Well we might have a few items you could be interested in, but let me just give you a piece of advice kid. There is no better way to prevent your pokemon from being stolen then to do one thing. Train your pokemon to their fullest, and once your pokemon are strong enough no one will stand a chance of taking them away from you." The clerk said, answering Ash truthfully unlike many of the clerks in the store that probably would of just tried to rip Ash off with ineffective items to prevent theft.
"I guess I'll have to do that then. First thing tomorrow I think I'll leave the city and start training my Pokemon to be as strong as it can be. Then once our training is done, I'll be one step closer to my dream of being a Pokemon Master." Ash said smiling as a fire seemed to burn within his eyes.
"I like your style kid, if you keep that bright spirit of yours you just might achieve that dream of yours." The clerk said giving Ash a smile, which caused Ash to smile back in return.
'Well, at least someone actually believes in me, and really I just met this guy.' Ash thought to himself, smiling a bit at the confidence that this complete stranger had shown in him.
"Thank you for the advice. I guess I should get going, my pokemon isn't going to get strong on her own." Ash said smiling a bit, so what if there was nothing he could buy to prevent Mew from being stolen, this guys advice would make it so he and Mew could become strong enough to protect each other.
"Wait kid, what's you name?" The clerk asked, really wondering about this somewhat strange new trainer. Most new trainers didn't gain the kind of determination that this kid had till after a few years of traveling the land with their pokemon.
"Huh, oh my name is Ash Ketchum." Ash said, turning around to face the store clerk.
"Well Ash my name is Matt. It is always nice to see new trainers coming through here for the first time, especially ones as determined as you. Tell you what, how about I give you a discount on potions and pokeballs, you could probably really use them." The clerk said smiling, while pulling out some potions and pokeballs from beneath the counter.
"Wow, thanks Matt, I'm sure these will really help me on my journey." Ash said, before laying down a decent sum of money, that was significantly smaller then what it would have normally been other wise.
"Don't mention it, it's always nice to help out new trainer's right when they begin their journeys. Plus it looks like you might need as much help as you can get. Oh here and take this to, on the house." Matt said happily, while handing Ash a bag containing all of the potions and pokeballs he had just purchased, and then what looked like a thin black necklace with a small little black object attached to it that kind of reminded Ash of the black indentations on his pokebelt.
"What is it?" Ash questioned, grabbing the bag from Matt and the strange black necklace.
"It is a necklace that is specially designed to carry a pokeball. A lot of trainers use them for their most prized pokemon, as they say it is a way of keeping their pokemon closer to their heart. They also apparently make it harder for thieves to steal the pokemon as it offers more protection then a pokebelt is able to." Matt explained while pointing to the black necklace held in Ash's hand.
"Wow, thank you." Ash said, before slipping the necklace over his head and then attaching Mew's pokeball to it.
"No problem Ash, now if that is all you need I guess I'll be seeing you." Matt said before walking off to help another costumer that seemed to have been waiting so 'patiently 'at the counter for a bit.
"Yep, bye Matt." Ash said to the clerk retreating figure before walking out of the PokeMart, bag in hand, wondering what exactly he should do next.
Outside the PokeMart: Viridian City
"Well I guess that takes care of the theft problem, but I wonder where I should go next." Ash said to himself, while absent mindedly rubbing Mew's pokeball that now hung around his neck.
"Hm, Mew looked a little tired and warn out before we got into the city so I guess I should get her healed up. Now where did Professor Oak say we should go to get our pokemon healed? Oh yeah the Pokemon Center." Ash said, figuring out where his next destination was going to be.
So with that Ash set out in search of the Pokemon Center, figuring that once he got Mew healed he would double back to Route 1 and start training Mew there. Plus the best thing was with all of the Potions he had just bought Mew and him could train for days with out having to head back to the Pokemon Center to get Mew healed.
Inside the Pokemon Center: Viridian City
Ash sighed as he walking through the sliding glass doors into the Pokemon Center. It had taken him a bit of searching to find the center, but all in all it really wasn't very hard to find. Glancing around a bit, he decided he might as well make his way up to the friendly looking nurse that stood behind the desk in the center of the room.
"Oh hello there, my name is Nurse Joy, what can I do for you?" The pink haired nurse said with a smile as Ash walked up to the desk.
"Uh yes, I was just wondering if you could heal my pokemon for me. You see she is a little warn out after traveling here and then after that we are going back outside of the city again to train and get stronger." Ash said to the nurse, as he pulled Mew's pokeball off from his necklace and handed it to the nurse.
"No problem, your pokemon should be fitting fit in a little while. Just go wait in the waiting room until I call you. Wait what was your name again?" The nurse asked, about the walk away before she realized she didn't even have the young mans name.
"Oh, my name is Ash Ketchum." Ash answered.
"Very well Ash, just go wait in the waiting room, we will call you when your pokemon is ready." The nurse said before taking Ash's Pokeball with her in to the back room of the Pokemon Center.
With that Ash walked over to one of the chairs near the right hand corner of the Pokemon Center. Looking around he realized there were few other trainers waiting for their pokemon to be healed as well, and what looked like a few video phones a long one of the walls near him. With a sigh Ash decided he might as well start looking through his Pokedex, he figured it might be a good idea to at least learn some more about pokemon while he waited.
Professor Oak's Lab: Pallet Town
Professor Oak rubbed his temples as Red and Green continued to argue in front of him. If it wasn't bad enough that they had been nearly a day late in getting to his lab, as soon as they got to the lab all that had done was argued about random things, and some stupid race they had had on who had made it to the lab first. All in all Professor Oak was starting to get annoyed, and there arguing was even starting to give him a really bad head ache.
"All right that is it, both of you just shut up!" Professor Oak bellowed with a slight twitch in his eye as both Red and Green froze up in the middle of their argument.
"But Professor Oak/Old Man he started it." Both Red and Green whined/said at the same time, pointing at each other.
"I don't care who started it, both of you are acting like two year olds and frankly it is giving me a head ache." Professor Oak said, glaring at two of the 'greatest' trainers to ever come out of Pallet Town.
"Fine what ever, now why did you call us here in the first place old man?" Green questioned, annoyed from either being called away from his training, or just being stuck in the same room as Red. It had to be one of the two, or possibly even mixture of both.
"I called you both here for two reasons, but one of those reasons was already taken care of before either of you two even got here, so I guess there is only one reason left." Professor Oak said while walking over to the small platform in the center of the room.
"Hm, so what is this reason?" Red asked also kind of annoyed, wondering why Professor Oak had decided to call him away from the Pokemon League.
"This." Was all the Professor Oak said before pressing a button on the platform and bringing up a pokeball with a golden lighting bolt symbol engraved on it from the center of the platform.
"Hm, what is so special about the pokemon inside of this pokeball, have you discovered some new kind of new electric pokemon that can be used as a starter or something like that." Green asked, taking note of the lighting bolt symbol on the pokeball as he examined it.
"Well no, it isn't a new pokemon, in fact it is just a Pikachu, but here is the thing, this Pikachu is unnaturally strong for what a Pikachu of it's level should be. It would of made a great starter for a new trainer but sadly it has refused to listen to anyone. So I was wondering if either you would like to train it. Just be warned, this Pikachu might take a while to warm up to either of you, but with both of you being elite trainers I'm sure one of you could handle it." Professor Oak said, taking the pokeball off of the platform and holding it in his hand.
"Thanks but no thanks old man, I've already caught a Pikachu, and I have no need for another one." Green said, now regarding even being in the lab at the moment a complete waste of time, due to the fact the Pikachu didn't interest him at all.
"I guess I could raise it Professor Oak, I mean I did do a good job raising my own team of pokemon. Plus I'm the Pokemon League Champion, who better to raise this Pikachu then me?" Red said confidently taking the pokeball from out of Professor Oak's hand.
"Well Red it looks like you will be raising the Pikachu, and I must say that Pikachu is in good hands. Now then, that is all I called you two here for, so you may leave now if you like." Professor Oak said while sitting down at his desk and turning to his computer.
"Finally, well if that is all old man I'm going to go back to my training that you interrupted." Green said, before turning around and walking out of the lab.
"Yeah see you Professor Oak, I'll be sure to start training this Pikachu right away." Red said before he to turned around and walked out of the lab, Pikachu's pokeball held in his hand.
With a sigh Professor Oak leaned back in his chair, taking his eyes off his computer screen, and staring up at the ceiling of his lab. He really hoped that Red would be able to handle that Pikachu, he knew first had just how hard it could be to control. These thoughts of course brought up thoughts of Ash and his Mew. He really couldn't help but wonder just how Ash and Mew were doing, and in fact he was a little worried about them. Sure he had taken off with Mew from his lab, taking one of his Pokedexs with him, but really in a way he knew he had himself to blame. He shouldn't of over reacted as he had, it was just that at the time he wasn't thinking as clearly as he should have been. It had been a stressful day yesterday, and as he looked back on it he realized that when Ash had brought in Mew he had just panicked. It was after all only the second time he had seen a legendary pokemon up close.
Really when he thought about it he realized that looking at Ash and Mew he couldn't help but see himself again when he was younger, back when he first met Celebi. He couldn't bare the thought of Ash having to go through the same pain he went through with Celebi was taken away from him. But now that he thought about it, Ash had already shown him that he was capable of taking care of Mew, when he had saved Mew from being taken away from him.
'Ash, I'm sorry about that, I just really didn't want you to have to go through the same pain that I went through with Celebi. I hope you will be able to forgive me.' Professor Oak thought, while staring up at the ceiling. Images of Ash and Mew together just yesterday, and of himself and Celebi from so long ago playing a cross his mind.
Professor Oak was snapped out of his thoughts by the video phone ringing out at the other side of the lab. With a sigh, he made his way over to the video phone, wondering if it would actually be something important or just Gary calling once again to brag about yet another pokemon he had caught in his journey. Once he had made it to video phone he was slightly relieved to see Nurse Joys face staring back at him when he answered, rather then that of his grandsons, and from what he could remember this Nurse Joy looked like the one from Viridian City.
"Well hello Nurse Joy, it is nice to see you again." Professor Oak said, smiling at Nurse Joy in the monitor.
"Hello to you as well Professor Oak, I was just calling to inform you about a interesting pokemon a trainer just brought in." Nurse Joy said with a smile, but he could clearly see some excitement in her eyes.
"Hm, would this trainer happen to go by the name of Ash Ketchum." Professor Oak said, already figuring out what this phone call was about.
"Yes he would, so you already know about the Mew that he has captured?" Nurse Joy questioned.
"Of course I saw him just yesterday, so he has already made it to Viridian, well good for him." Professor Oak said with a smirk, not surprised at all that Ash had made it to Viridian so fast.
"Yes Professor Oak, he and Mew appear to be fine, but Professor what should we do? I mean it's not everyday that someone captures a legendary pokemon, and from the looks of it this Ash is just a beginning trainer." Nurse Joy said, clearly worried.
"I to was worried about that, but now I realize that Mew probably couldn't be in better hands. From what I saw yesterday a strong bond had already formed between the two, and it looks like Ash would be willing to do anything to protect Mew, he would probably even be willing to protect it at the cost of his own life." Professor Oak said with a hint of pride, but some sadness seemed to seep into his voice near the end of his speech.
"Well okay if you believe in Ash so much, I guess I will to. I'll also inform all my sisters of him so they won't be surprised when they see that he has a Mew." Nurse Joy said, more impressed by this Ash person from what Professor Oak had just said about him.
"That is fine Nurse Joy, you also might want to share this information with the Jennies as well. Just make sure to tell them to keep this information to themselves. Ash is to new at pokemon training to have other trainers hounding him just yet, and there is the mater of that criminal organization, Team Rocket was it?" Professor said, as serious tone in his voice as he spoke.
"That has me worried as well, Team Rocket has been a lot more active around Viridian City lately then they usually are." Nurse Joy said in a worried tone.
"Well that is troubling, but I'm sure Ash can handle it. But just in case, could you go get Ash for me? I would like to speak to him." Professor Oak said.
"Of course Professor, I'll go get him right away." Nurse Joy said before walking away from the video phone.
'Well Ash, it looks like you might have more trouble on your journey then I originally thought you would.' Professor Oak thought to himself, waiting for Ash to come to the video phone.
The Pokemon Center: Viridian City
"Ash Ketchum." Nurse Joy said, walking into the waiting area of the Pokemon Center.
"Yeah that's me Nurse Joy. Is my pokemon all healed up now?" Ash asked, placing his Pokedex in his backpack before getting out of his chair and walking over to Nurse Joy.
"No, your pokemon is still being healed, but there is a phone call for you." Nurse Joy said with a smile.
"Um okay, where is the video phone?" Ash asked, looking around the room.
"I'll take you to it Ash." Nurse Joy said before leading Ash out of the waiting area into one of the back rooms of the Pokemon Center.
As they entered the back room Ash noticed many machines that he assumed were used for helping to heal sick and injured pokemon. He also noticed a large shelf containing many different types of pokeballs, most were the traditional red and white sphere, but there were a few pokeballs on the shelf that seemed to be of a different variety. He then noticed the video phone against the wall, Professor Oaks face on the screen, who seemed to be staring at the two as they walked up.
"Pro-professor Oak." Ash said with a stutter, a bit of fear making itself known in his voice.
"Yes Ash, me. You can go now Nurse Joy, thank you for getting Ash for me." Professor Oak said, his face in the monitor turning to face Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy just smiled happily, before giving a slight nod and then leaving to attend to the pokemon. Professor Oak then turned his attention back to Ash.
"I-I'm sorry Professor Oak, I know what I did was wrong." Ash said, trying to look anyplace besides the monitor of the video phone.
"Now Ash it is alright, I'm not angry at you for running off with Mew." Professor Oak said with a smile.
"You're not?" Ash questioned, looking up at the monitor with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"No I'm not, in fact I probably would of done the exact same thing when I was your age." Professor Oak said, actually looking a little embarrassed for admitting it.
"Well thank you saying that Professor, that just made me a feel a whole lot better." Ash said, happy that even though he still knew he did something wrong, that it made him feel better to know Professor Oak would of done the same thing.
"No problem Ash, now then there is the matter of the pokedex that you took along with you." Professor Oak said, his voice taking a slightly more serious tone, but still holding its kindness.
"Oh do you want it back?" Ash asked, leaning down to dig around in his backpack before bringing it up and holding it out in front of the monitor.
"No, in fact I want you to try and complete it for me. It would help a whole lot with my research, and you already seem to be off to a great start with Mew." Professor Oak said, smiling as he saw a look of happiness cross Ash's face.
"Of course I will Professor, I mean it is the least I can do after everything that happened." Ash said, still feeling a bit guilty.
"Well that is good to know, now there is another matter that I wish to speak to you about." Professor Oak said, taking on a even more serious tone.
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"Ash as you know Mew is a legendary pokemon, and as with all legendary pokemon there are many in the world that would like to take Mew from you. For this reason you should always be cautious and try not to be to trusting of anyone. Not everyone one you meet on your journey will be who they appear to be so you must stay cautious at all times." Professor Oak warned.
"I know Professor Oak, that is why as soon as Mew is done getting healed, we are going to head back to Route 1 and do some intense training." Ash said confidently
"That is a good idea Ash, with Mew being well trained and so loyal to you, you two should be able to take care of many of the thieves that might come after you. But Ash be warned, according to Nurse Joy there has been a criminal organization known as Team Rocket lurking around Viridian. You should been on your guard until you get out of the city, and even then you should be cautious." Professor Oak said.
"Of course Professor Oak, but don't worry I'm not going to let anyone take Mew from me, that's a promise." Ash said sincerely, a smile on his face.
"Of course you will Ash, now on to the next order of business. Now I wanted t-" Professor Oak started but was cut off as a large explosion rocked the Pokemon Center.
"What's going on!" Ash yelled, standing up from his seat at the video phone and looking around.
"The Pokemon Center is under attack, we have to protect the pokemon!" Nurse Joy yelled from the other side of the room, having just run into the back room of the center, locking the door behind her.
"Quick Ash go help Nurse Joy, I'll contact Officer Jenny in Viridian and tell her the situation." Professor Oak said urgently before he ended the called to the Pokemon Center, probably calling up Officer Jenny at that very moment.
Ash gave a nod before running over to Nurse Joy who seemed to be busy setting up a transportation link to the Pokemon Center in Pewter City. Once Ash arrived next to her the link appeared to be operational and pokeballs were being transported at a rapid pace to the other Pokemon Center.
"Do you need some help Nurse Joy?" Ash questioned as he stood next to her.
"No Ash, you need to take Mew and leave right now." Nurse Joy said, taking Mew's pokeball out of her pocket and handing Ash the white sphere.
"What, I can't do that, others could be in danger and I'm not going to run away like some coward." Ash said angrily, not wanting others to get hurt when he could of done something to prevent it.
"No Ash this isn't up for debate, I won't allow people like Team Rocket to get there hands on a legendary pokemon." Nurse Joy said, a slightly pleading tone in her voice.
"No way, I won't allow others to be hurt, and I refuse to be a coward. If Team Rocket wants to get their hands on a legendary pokemon, well I guess I'll just have to show them one." Ash said with a smirk, holding up Mew's pokeball. Nurse Joy scolded him a bit before letting out a sigh.
"Fine Ash, just don't let anything happen to yourself or Mew." Nurse Joy said with concern in her voice.
"Don't worry Nurse Joy we'll be fine." Ash said with a smile holding out Mew's pokeball.
"Come on out, Mew." Ash said/yelled causing the pokeball in his hand to split open and Mew to appear in a flash of light in front of him floating."
"Mew." Mew said happily before floating over to sit on Ash's shoulder, and then proceeding to happily rub her face against Ash's cheek.
"Not now Mew, I need your help right now." Ash said pushing Mew's head off his cheek causing her to stop.
"Okay Mew, there are some criminals attacking the Pokemon Center and we need to stop them." Ash said determinedly while staring at Mew. Mew seemed to stare back innocently for a few moments before nodding her head in agreement.
"Well then lets get going, they aren't even going to know what hit them." Ash said with a smirk causing Mew to giggle a bit, understanding what her trainer was getting at.
With that Ash and Mew opened the door and left the relative safety of the back room of the Pokemon Center, and entered the disaster area that was the front part of the Pokemon Center. There seemed to objects littering the floor of the center and what looked like a large purple snake and strange purple orb, that seemed to have a crossbones symbol on it, chasing the other trainers around the center
"We can't allow anything to happen to those trainers, quick Mew use confusion on those two pokemon." Ash yelled out, pointing at the two pokemon. With a nod Mew floated off Ash's shoulder and then began radiating a blue aura that the two other pokemon then also began to radiate. With a raise of her arm the two pokemon shot up into the ceiling of the center, slamming into it, and then with a lowering of her hand the two pokemon were lowered down from the ceiling to the ground forcefully. All in all after being slammed into two hard surfaces at high speeds, both pokemon laid on the floor of the center unconscious.
"Great job Mew." Ash said happily while rubbing Mew on top of her head, causing her to close her eyes and purr contently.
"Just want do you think you're doing brat?!" A voice yelled from off to Ash's side, causing him to spin around to where the voice came from, Mew at his side also turning in the direction of the voice.
Before Ash and Mew stood a woman with long red hair and a men with blue hair. Both were dressed in white shirts with red Rs on them. The woman wore a white skirt While the man wore white pants. In between the two stood what looked like a somewhat large white cat with a golden charm on it's head.
"Hey, who are you three?" Ash asked, but already guessing that these three were the criminals that were attacking the center.
"Silly little boy, allow us to introduce ourselves." The man said with a laugh.
(A/N: Yep the motto, you can skip this part if you like, I just figured I should type it at least once for the story.)
"To protect the world from devastation." The woman said.
"To unite all people within our nation." The man said.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love." The woman said.
"To extend our reach to the stars above." The man said.
"Jessie." The woman said.
"James." The man said.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light." Jessie said.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight." James said.
"Meowth, that's right." The large cat said in between the two of them.
Ash wasn't sure whether to attack the three in front of him or just burst out laughing at how ridiculous they looked at the moment. Sure the talking pokemon, which he now knew was a Meowth, impressed him a bit, but other then that these three just didn't look that impressive at all.
'Man, and these three are supposed to be criminals. Well they are probably just grunts in this Team Rocket or something like that.' Ash thought staring at the three in front of him, while Mew giggled on his shoulder.
"Frozen in fear I see." James said with a laugh.
"Well he should be, I mean everyone fears Team Rocket." Jessie said, also with a slight laugh.
"Yeah right, fear." Ash muttered to himself, Mew continuing to giggle on his shoulder.
"Anyway kid hand over your pokemon, or else." Jessie said in a threatening manor.
"But Jessie, do you really think we can take this kid, I mean his pokemon did take out Ekans and Koffing in one attack." Meowth whispered up to his team mates.
"I don't care Meowth, I refuse to be defeated by some brat." Jessie whispered back.
"Jessie is right Meowth, besides I'm sure you could take on what ever that pokemon is he has. Plus that pokemon looks strong, I'm sure the boss might give us a raise for it." James said, trying to encourage the cat between the two of them.
"Alright, I guess I'll do it." Meowth said stepping forward.
"Oh I almost forgot. Ekans, Koffing, return." James said, taking two pokeballs out of his pocket and returning both of the fainted pokemon.
"Alright kid, hand over your pokemon unless you want to face the wrath of my fury swipes." Meowth said stepping forward towards Ash and Mew, trying to hold his claws in a threatening manor.
"Mew quick, use confusion on that Meowth." Ash said pointing at the cat pokemon. Mew gave a nod before floating off of his shoulder and once again becoming covered in a blue aura, Meowth became covered in the same blue aura and began to lift off the ground.
"Hey put me down." Meowth yelled, arms wildly flying around as he tried in some desperate attempt to get back onto the ground.
"Now Mew, send the Meowth right back at Team Rocket." Ash commanded, and Mew gave a nod before pushing her arm forward and sending the Meowth straight at his two teammates.
All three fell over into a heap on the floor and there was a chorus of "You brat, you will pay for that!" "I will not be defeated by a mere child." and "Would you two get your feet out of my face."
"Alright Mew, now use confusion to send all three of them out of the Pokemon Center." Ash said, and Mew gave another nod before covering all three of them in a blue aura and then raising her hand, sending all three of them upward straight through the roof of the Pokemon Center and up into the sky above. From above Ash thought he heard what sounded like the three of them yelling "Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off," before the three disappeared into the night sky.
"Uh Mew, I meant through the door or something, not through the roof." Ash said face faulting, while Mew in front of him just rubbed the back of her head embarrassed, a slight blush appearing on her face.
"Well at least you got ride of them." Ash said leaning against the wall behind him tiredly. Mew simply lowered herself right onto his chest and then allowed Ash to wrap his arms around her.
"I guess we should go check on Nurse Joy now and tell her Team Rocket is gone." Ash said before heading off towards to back area of the Pokemon Center, Mew still in his arms.
Later that Night
Ash sat there at the video phone once again talking to Professor Oak. He had talked to Nurse Joy earlier and while she was glad Team Rocket had been cleared out, she was a little annoyed at the hole Mew had created in the Pokemon Center's roof. Officer Jenny had also come by a few minutes after Team Rocket had been taken care of, and taken the statements of everyone who was in the Pokemon Center. Now Ash just sat there talking to Professor Oak, having just finishing telling the Professor exactly what had happened.
"Well Ash it seems that things might get a little bit harder for you now." Professor Oak said, taking on a thinking pose.
"What do you mean Professor?" Ash asked, he wasn't sure how defeating this Team Rocket so easily was going to make things harder for him.
"Well Ash while you did defeat Team Rocket, in doing so you have showed them some of the great power that your Mew has, so I wouldn't be surprised if they continued to come after you for your Mew, and who knows what could happen when this information gets back to their leader." Professor Oak said, concern coming into his voice.
"What do you think I should do Professor?" Ash asked, looking down worriedly at Mew laying down on his lap.
"Well I recommend that you take about a month right now in your journey to just train with Mew." Professor Oak said.
"What a month! But Professor, Gary is already ahead of me, who knows how much farther ahead of me he will be in a month!" Ash practically yelled at the video phone.
"Now, now Ash don't worry. The Pokemon League doesn't even happen again for another six months. I'm sure that by taking a month to train you will be more the ready to take on the gym challenge and collect eight badges before the Pokemon League. Besides with how strong you and Mew will get in your month of training you might even finish early and have another month or so to train again for the League." Professor Oak said smiling at Ash.
"Yeah I guess that makes sense, but still a month." Ash said looking down at Mew and rubbing her head.
"Well I'm glad that is settled, now then I suppose that you will leave in the morning and head back for Route 1 correct? Just make sure to keep in contact with me, so that means you can either had back to Viridian to make a call here to the lab, or even just head into Pallet Town and visit me every now and then. I just want to make sure you are safe" Professor Oak said.
"Alright Professor, I guess I'll leave first thing in the morning. Good night." Ash said tiredly before hanging up the video phone, and then heading off to find Nurse Joy and ask were a room Mew and him could stay in would be.
Somewhere Outside of Viridian City
A shadowed figure sat inside a large office behind a expensive looking desk. A large cat pokemon with a red jewel on it's forehead lounged around off to the side of the room.
"Sir, Jessie and James have just reported back for the last mission." A man dressed completely in black said walking into the office. A large red R emblazed on his shirt was the only thing that could really be seem well in the darkly lit room.
"Yes, how did the raid of the Pokemon Center go?" The shadowed figure behind the desk asked.
"Well apparently sir, they failed, they said that some kid was able to beat then before they could steal any of the pokemon." The man said.
"Hm, so they have failed me, well I guess they will have to be punished for that later." The shadowed figure said again.
"That's not all sir, they said the kid used a strange pokemon to defeat them. They described it at a small pink cat that seemed to have some psychic powers." The man once again said.
"What there is no way that is possible! Bring Jessie and James to me at once, I would like to question them myself!" The shadowed figure behind the desk barked out angrily.
"Right away sir." The man said, a hint of fear in his voice, before making his way out of the room as quickly as possible, no one wanted to be around the boss when he was angry.
'This shouldn't be possible, there is no way some child has captured a Mew, the only way that could happen is if the Mew allowed itself to be captured, but that can't be possible either. No pokemon would willingly turn itself into a slave for a human, let alone a legendary pokemon like Mew.' The shadowed figure thought leaning back in his chair and staring up at his ceiling. Waiting until Jessie and James came into his office so he could 'question' them himself.
End Chapter
A/N: Well I'm glad I'm done with that chapter. I don't like this chapter as much as my first chapter, but it is still a pretty good chapter I guess. I think the reason I didn't like it as much is the lack of Mew being in it until near the end of the chapter.
Now to go over some things for the story, first of all I showed how Pikachu was coming into the storyline this chapter, but Pikachu and Ash aren't going to meet until next chapter. Also gyms aren't going to come into play until chapter four of the story, as chapter three is going to cover Ash's three months of training.
As for Mew, well Mew is going to be a special case when it comes to the moves Mew learns. I'll probably have it so any move that Mew witnesses being used in battle, Mew can then use herself. Yes this will make Mew a bit over powered, but then again Mew is a legendary and I feel Mew should deserve her title.
For Misty and Brock, well they probably won't be traveling with Ash. Sure they will probably meet up with him at points on his journey, and probably go on a few adventures with him, but Ash will probably be traveling a lone most of the time. But I might have Brock travel with Ash for a bit in the beginning to the storyline after he meets Brock, mostly so I can have Brock teach Ash more about cooking and taking care of himself in the wilderness.
Now as for reviews, well as long as the review is signed I will reply to it, so if you want a reply sign your reviews. Oh course I like any type of review, signed or not. Heck I'm even fine if you want to flame me, as long as you tell me why you flamed me and how I can improve my story.
Oh and if anyone would like to beta read my story please mention it, I don't have a beta reader at the moment so I can only go by my own proof reading before I post a chapter.
