Chapter 9: The Eighth Mew-Mew

With the Mew-Mews…

"I think I have enough in me for one more shot," Dawn declared. She summoned her Strawberry Sais. She summoned all of her will and brought the blades together. She was about to use an attack that she hadn't used since she vaporized Charon, but that was currently unimportant. "Strawberry Sais…Max Power!"

A huge pink beam of light shot from the Sais. When the light finally faded, she saw that she didn't hit any of her attackers, but incinerated their Miniremo units.

"Dawn," Iris gasped when Dawn fainted.

"Just like the first time she said 'max power' instead of 'full power'," Hannah recalled. "Misty, I have an idea. We can combine my Blizzard Shurikens with your Combat Staff and make a protective dome."

"I'm up for anything at the moment," Misty complied. She summoned she green staff. "Swirling Slam!" Spiraling water separated them from the men who had ambushed them.

"Blizzard Shurikens!" Hannah used her weapons. They shot white beams of freezing cold energy that froze the Swirling Slam. "That should give us a little time to rest."

"Given the state we're in, I'm surprised you didn't collapse!" Lyra exclaimed. Her face was beaded with sweat. They'd been fighting and desperately trying to survive, yet it was barely a half hour this battle had been going on.

"They seem competent, unlike past grunts and minions," Summer pointed out.

"Yeah, but who are they?" May asked. No one could supply an answer.

"Axew," Axew finally said. Translation: I don't know.

"I feel trapped!" Iris complained. She was infused with a type salamander, which was coldblooded. Not to mention she didn't like the cold to begin with.

"Get used to it. I have the feeling we're going to be in here for a while," Misty claimed. She tightly held her Azurill.

Up in the sky…

"We have to go down there and help them!" Ben insisted.

"Yeah, but we should do it in stealth. If we're facing people with Miniremo units, we can't afford to make a mistake," Thomas replied.

"Are we ready?" Edd asked.

"Yeah, hang on. I'll call Eddy," Thomas announced. "Voicemail, voicemail! It's Thomas. Double-D, Ben, Nema, and I have located Miniremo signals from down below us. Please be on standby. Also, please forward this report to Professor Hastings at HQ."

"Roger," Eddy's voice responded.

"Let's go!" Nema encouraged.

"Nema, wait, I have a surprise for you!" Edd called.

"What?"

"You know how Thomas, Chris, and I recreated that project involving infusing people with rare animal DNA?"

"Yeah. Those people were called Mew-Mews, right?"

"Right and you're one of them. Congratulations, Nema, you've been infused with the blue macaw!"

Minutes later, on the ground…

"No worries," a suited man said to his allies. "We'll get our Pokémon to shatter that ice."

"We don't think so! Capture on!" a voice rang. Three Capture Discs shot from the bushes and circled the Ekans, Seviper, and Arbok. In seconds, the Discs shot back into the bushes and the Miniremo units exploded. "Capture complete!"

"Now, it's my turn!" Nema called out and raised her new Power Pendant. "Power Pendant! Mewtamorphosis!"

Nema's lab coat was replaced by a teal dress, and she had matching boots and gloves on. Teal wings with yellow streaks on the undersides sprouted out of her back. Her blue eyes turned to a teal color.

"This is awesome!" she exclaimed. Out of thin air, two folding fans appeared. She opened them, flicked each wristed, and small twisters blew the men away. "Wow! I think I'll call these the 'Blow-your-enemies-into-next-week fans'."

"Why don't you just call them 'Hyper Fans'?" Thomas asked as he, Ben, and Edd emerged from the bushes.

"That's not as fun."

"How are you even going to remember…whatever you just said?" Ben asked.

"Pichu, Pichu, Pichu," Pichu agreed. Translation: That name is too long.

"Plume," Vileplume nodded in agreement. Translation: Yeah.

"Okay, I think the girls can get themselves out of the ice," Thomas theorized. Sure enough, May slashed the ice dome open with her weapon, which was a katana appropriately named the Wolf's Fang. "This is the time Chairperson Erma or Professor Hastings would say 'Mission Clear'."

"We assigned the mission to ourselves, so…Mission Clear!" Edd declared and the three boys did their Ranger Poses.

"Every time we finish a mission, I feel rejuvenated!" Ben stretched his arms out and cheered.

"Pichu!" Pichu agreed. Translation: Yeah!
