I suppose I should say before this starts, thank you to the two people who commented so soon after an upload! I honestly did not expect that anyone would comment until chapter four. So thank you and enjoy the chapter!
Light filtered through the leaves as they swayed back and forth. The grass to moved back and forth, brushing up against me as I lie in the dirt. Large oak trees surrounded me along with a few small boulders that were more scarce. I had been staring at this scene for about three minutes trying to process what happened. I had woken up in this forest after I was given my farewell by the Legendary beings. Supposedly, this was the random area I had been placed in. I attempted to stand only to find myself too weak to do so.
Palkia's voice resonated loudly throughout my mind, "You require levitation in most cases to move. If you don't want to die of starvation, I suggest you figure out how to use it. Usually, you will just envision yourself doing the action and it will happen."
I found myself startled that one of the legends was still speaking to me.
Palkia…?
"No, it's a Caterpie. Of fucking course, it was Palkia." Reverberated through my mind, this time being Giratina's. "What, did you think we weren't going to stay in touch?"
I had honestly thought that I would just do everything on my own while they watched me through a crystal ball or something similar, kind of like a bad guy that watches the plot progress slowly.
"Yeah, no. You're too incompetent to be left alone. You probably would die of starvation before learning to do anything." Dialga's condescending tone alternated into my what can now only be considered holy head.
With the number of legendaries talking to me through it, how could it not be?
I attempted to comply with what Palkia had said earlier and imagined myself floating about 2 feet off the ground. To my surprise, I was to accomplish this easily. Heh, I'm not so incompetent after all.
Upon getting off the ground I noticed that I was both very hungry and thirsty. The second problem was immediately solved by the sound of running water to my left. I attempted to 'levitate' over to the source of the sound, only to find myself, once again, on the ground, this time with my face firmly planted in it. Apparently, my ability to levitate was heavily hindered by my inability to think of two things at once. I'll have to retract that statement about incompetence until I learn how to actually live like a normal… whatever I am.
Actually, I hadn't thought about that. What am I? I thought this was a great way to levitate better and lifted myself off the ground. Looking at my hands– no, paws and quadrupedal body, I found myself retching from disgust. I'M FUCKING PINK.
Worst colour ever and of course it's the one I get at random. I want a goddamn– Arceus-damn, refund to this game. Trying to ignore this new fact, I realized that I had managed to stay up in the air for the duration of my 'revelation'.
One step closer to world domination! Baby steps, man, baby steps. I tried to make my way over to the stream, or pond, or whatever it is. I proved somewhat successful and managed to flail over to what can now be identified as my savior, a stream of cool clear water. In my attempt to lower myself to the ground, I fell out of the air half on the ground, half drowning myself in the stream.
I ended up flailing around for a little bit before flinging myself back out of the water. I gasp for air and inch closer to the water, enough to stick out my tongue and lap up water like the cat I probably was. I tried to move closer to the water while still drinking resulting in a fit of coughs. After finally, I didn't feel thirsty anymore, I looked at my wavy reflection in the water.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
Mew. Mew, FUCKING Mew. I was Mew. I am Mew. Mew is me? Why am I, Mew!?
Giratina's voice once again appeared in my head. "Ah, yes, about that, as we said, the pokémon you became was random. It seems that you were quite lucky."
"LUCKY!? Why the FUCK did you include LEGENDARIES as an option anyway!?"
Arceus replied with, "Everything was a possibility, except the ability to embody me. As to why it is more fun this way."
"So then what happened to the other Mew!? Do they cease to exist or something?"
"They are fine and most likely do not know, you are a separate entity merely with the same body and ability as Mew."
"Then what happens when they find out!?"
Dialga's voice comes this time. "They will most likely kill you, or join in on the fun."
Shaking slightly, I try to calm down and think of what to do. I'm a mew on the lose and on the run.
I'm a mew… Ha! Mew can use almost any move! Calm Mind!
Attempting to perform my newly acknowledged skill, I called upon Calm Mind… to find that absolutely nothing happened. And I tried again, to the same effect.
I'm an Arceus-damn Mew, and I can't do Calm Mind.
"You will not be able to perform this 'move' for as the name entails, you need to have a calm mind, not simply call upon it," Palkia said, "This isn't your 'video game' back home, nothing is easy."
And once again I am reminded that Dialga is right, I am indeed incompetent. I suppose my first goal will be to fix that. As a newly made Mew, I must become strong. Stronger than any other mortal creature around. Well, I guess I just need to training montage my way to glory at some point or another. First, I need to levitate properly. Then maybe gain a few moves and get these tutorial wannabes outside of my head.
Yes, become strong, become as strong as I can.
Lifting myself off the ground, I realize that I still haven't eaten. Still flailing through the air, I try to move through the forest. After flying into a few trees, I managed to at least fly straight in the direction that I'm looking. However, I seem to lack in the ability to find food or even other pokémon. I haven't even seen or heard any flying types.
It took about 10 minutes before I found anything promising. A bush with a plethora of blue bulbous looking fruits.
Oran berries.
That's right, Oran berries. Hah! Suck it hunger for I have conquered you!
Trying to lower myself, I grab one of the berries. Attempting to pull it off the branch, I find my grip slipping and I end up flying back against a tree. I hate levitation. Trying to use my human ingenuity, I try to think of a way to get the Oran berry that doesn't involve self-harm.
Telekinesis! Levitation is a form of telekinesis so that must mean I can just pluck the berry with my amazing Mew powers. However, it might be difficult using telekinesis and levitation at the same time. What the hell, a bit of on the spot 'training' to help myself get stronger.
I try to imagine myself be held in the air next to the specific Oran berry. Stretching out my puny arms, I imagine the Oran berry slowly coming towards me. Lo and behold, I feel something come into contact with my paws. Opening my eyes, I see that it is indeed the Oran berry.
"HAH! Screw you world! I am a genius!"
I hold the Oran berry in the air, only to find the wind knocked out of me. For about the 17th or 18th time, I find a tree causing me bodily harm. Slowly looking over at what tackled me, I spot a Rattata with my Oran berry before it.
"Fucking rat! That's mine!"
"Screw off! This is my territory and my Oran Berry! I suggest you run before you die!"
I was surprised for two reasons, one, I could actually talk to and understand the Rattata, and I was surprised that something so 'cute' was making a death threat.
Nonetheless, he fucked with my food, so he's gonna give it back or end up in a world of pain with the total of… 1 move… that I know how to use properly.
One word was uttered from what I now realized was my mind. "Shit."
The rat charged at me and it looked like it was indeed, ready to kill. Thinking out of pure terror of death, I threw myself upwards above the Rattata. The Rattata hit the tree and bounced off almost entirely unfazed. It looked up at me, unable to reach with his Close Quarters based moves, he scowls at me.
I laugh at my momentary victory, only to find the rat running up a tree at me. He jumps at me and I flail backward. He mostly arcs over me, but his hind legs smash right into my face. The rat falls to the ground as I turn into an unwilling floating Ferris wheel. Righting myself, I find that I'm again being assaulted from a tree. Dodging to the left this time, I watch the Rattata sail past, right into another tree. This time, it goes face first. It falls to the ground, slightly dazed. Realizing my chance, I try to pick up a medium sized rock with telekinesis.
I attempt to throw it at the rat and find myself successful in at least crippling it by hitting its hind leg. It whips it's head around at me and performs something similar to a hiss and a squeak. I try to do the same thing again, but this time with multiple rocks. Picking up about four of varying sizes, I hurl them all at my injured opponent.
It dodges two of them only to get hit on the same hind leg and the head, effectively knocking it out. I stare blankly at the scene. I had just won my first battle, and I even threw four rocks at once while levitating.
Screw you world! I'm better than you!
Cackling in glee, I gather as many Oran berries as I can with both my arms and telekinesis and indulge myself in the spoils of war.
Once again, thank you to those that commented, and if you haven't, please do! Any comments are welcome and help me to see how I'm doing as a new FF writer.
