Mew woke up the next morning… was it in a human hospital? How did it get here? this wasn't right it needed to get out of there. those humans will be back. it couldn't be found trapped here. it sat upright but then then saw the woman from the night before.
That woman… she had protected it. But she had sacrificed her jolteon. just like all humans using pokémon as tools for their personal wars. But then... why was her aura so sad right now. Mew dug deeper despite it's better judgement. it found how much she cared for that jolteon and how the jolteon was so close to her that she had picked up on her friend's desire to protect mew, who to the woman was another human she had never before met, and acted on her own volition. Mew found her love for nature, and for pokémon especially. it found that despite all odds she had reached this ripe old age without succumbing to the greed of other men.
The woman awoke and mew found that it was smiling and that it had leaned over until it was right in her face. The woman was surprised of course but she still greeted him warmly. "Oh, so you're awake. I'm so glad. You had me worried."
Another woman entered the room, she was dressed all in pink and white with a red marking on her hat "I'm glad to see you're feeling better. We need to do some blood tests though. it'll just be a moment."
Mew remembered what That man… that MONSTER, had said the night before "all I need is your blood" it couldn't let them take its blood then that man could steal it. Mew jumped out of bed.
"Hey easy there!" the nurse exclaimed trying to calm mew "you had a rough night lie down and rest." mew dodged passed the woman and dashed out of the hospital.
Once outside it heard a giggle and a voice "well someone's must really like me"
mew realized that it had grabbed the hand of the young woman from last night and taken her along with it without realizing it. Now why would it do that?
The woman mistook his confusion for embarrassment "don't be ashamed, I was just teasing you… I never did get your name. I'm Delia."
Why did it want to bond with this human? Why did it want to tell her a name… a name that could be tracked? It should just leave and return to the tree of beginning where the other mew in Kanto live. But when it looked at her face and read her Aura. and it knew that she really did care that she wouldn't betray it and there was something more… something pure, deep in there. She had already moved on from the night before, no grudge, no regrets. yet she held onto and cherished the memory of her Friend, her jolteon. But could it even say human words? It could understand them sure, but pronunciation was a completely different concept altogether.
It decided to try despite every instinct telling it not to, "Mmmm- mmmmmaark Ketchum" did it really just use a play on words of that atrocious human Ideal? What was wrong with it? why couldn't it think clearly?
"Well mark it doesn't take a nurse to realize you're recovering quickly but if Joy thinks you should stay at the PMC a little longer we should head back."
"Don't you see!" Mew (or Mark, as it was) said a little too abruptly startling the woman. Toning it down he continued, "those men from last night will come for me again. I have something they want. I can't stay here. You were just an interloper if you stay out of their way from now on they won't bother you."
"I don't care. I'll help you."
"You don't get it. They'll hurt you. Whatever they want they just need me. you could go on and pretend this never even happened."
"I refuse to stand by and let Giovani do bad things to people, especially if it might have something to do with that... that thing!"
Mark's eyes widened "WHAT thing?"
"He's trying to make a pokémon, not like that porygon project sylph co. announced last year but a bioweapon, an unstoppable monster that he will use to advance his power. Do you know anything about that? Is that why he wants something from you?"
"I don't know anything for certain. I just know he thinks I have the secret to something he wants. Maybe I do. I have lots of secrets." I've gotten several more just in the last five minutes in fact. Mew thought to itself.
"Really? You must've had some life."
"I'll say"
"What kind of stuff have you been doing"
"I travel mostly I just have experienced a lot on my journey"
"A pokémon journey?"
"Yesssss…" mew said cautiously. there was no way she had figured it out, could she?"
"Oh. so, you're a trainer?"
mew let out a deep breath. "Y-yes, a trainer" Thank goodness. Though he now had to pretend to be one of those pokémon captors, at least for a little while, if she had guessed its identity it would have complicated things much more, as if things weren't complex enough already. Besides, maybe by doing so, it could help her understand the dark side of these "trainers".
