Author: Okeydokey, from now on I'm only going about 5000 or so words to update faster and make it easier for me.
Mew: Sounds good, even I get tired after a while. Oh and good news; because you guys love me so much I've decided to stick with my little Ashie.
Author: By the way, a word of warning; I've been watching/playing a lot of Luigi's Mansion lately, so the 'Ghost of Maiden's Peak' may be longer than expected and similar to a few things of that game. Don't worry, even though it's based off it the plot and battles will all be original.
Mew: That's good, don't want people complaining that it's 'too much alike'. It gets annoying when people complain about trivial things like that.
Author: Well anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and tell me what you think.
Mew: And by the way; DarkFoxKit do not own Pokemon or anyone in it.
Author: Thanks Mew, forgot about that.
Mew: No problem little Kit, hee, hee.
Author: Kit's in another fanfiction.
Mew: I know. Now enjoy!

The Child of Mew
Chapter 25, Tentacruel's Respect
Jessie just released her new Pokemon from the Poke Ball and it turned out to be…
"You caught a Slowpoke?" Ash wondered if it's the same one who helped them back at the deserted beach... no, it's not.
"How's that slow thing going to help against a giant squid?" Misty shouted.
The Slowpoke turned and glared at the red haired girl. "Don't insult me! Just because my species name is 'Slowpoke' doesn't mean that I am slow!" they were all taken back by this Slowpoke's attitude and its female… she acted like Jessie… no wonder the two were a perfect match.
"Ya'll better watch what you say because this Slowpoke has the fiery spirit of a Gyarados." Magikarp said to them.
"I've decided to call her Royalpoke since she and I are so much alike and I don't like it when people call me a Slowpoke." Jessie grinned and Royalpoke grinned back as if understanding each other without talking.
Oh great, now Team Rocket are nicknaming their Pokemon. Ash grumbled to himself.
"Okay Magikarp, it's time for your first water battle. Are you up for it?" James said to his only water Pokemon.
"Ready and willing!" Magikarp did a few fancy jumps in the air.
"Don't let that flopping fish hog all the fun." Jessie said to Royalpoke, who in turn nodded with the same determination.
Meanwhile Storm and the other Pokemon were eventually knocked down from the giant Tentacruel.
"Though you are Pokemon if you help the humans you are our enemy!" Tentacruel snapped angrily at them.
"Please… listen! You shouldn't tear down the human's homes." Storm tried to reason with it.
Tentacruel was about to knock the already weaken Pikachu when someone shouted. "You better listen to the little Pikachu."
Looking ahead; it was a Magikarp and a Slowpoke and both of them, usually slow or bad swimmers, were heading at him with great speed.
"If you don't call off your army and get your jelly hide back into the big blue sea we'll have to FORCE you, and trust me; you don't want that." Royalpoke warned and was eager to fight. Magikarp was just as eager but didn't say anything; all he did was jump around restlessly around the water.
"A slow Slowpoke and a weak Magikarp are no threat to us." Tentacruel growled as if challenging them.
"You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?" Magikarp growled.
The Tentacools started swarming them. "Attack! Attack! Attack!"
Royalpoke was not at all intimidated and she grinned at the incoming Tentacools. "Okay, let's see how you like taking the Confusion attack to the FACE!"
Royalpoke's eyes glowed blue and blue aura surrounded her pink body and the Tentacools around her started to float in mid-air. Being part Poison the Tentacools were frightened by this phenomenal.
Magikarp used Tackle by splashing in and out of the water hitting the Tentacools that weren't under the Slowpoke's Confusion attack to keep them from attacking her. The two supposedly weak Water types were working well together and kicking jelly butt!
"Come on guys, we can't let those two have all the fun!" Storm called out to the rest of the Pokemon.
Everybody got back up, regain their composure and rejoined the battle.
"STORMS! FOCUS ON THE BIG TENTACRUEL! IF YOU CAN DRIVE IT BACK TO THE SEA THE REST WILL FOLLOW!" Ash called from the sidelines.
"You heard the boy! ATTACK!" Storm yelled out from on top of Gale's back.
"This'll be fun." Blade the young Scyther began slashing his blades frantically, driving back any of the Tentacool in his path while the rest followed him towards the bigger the jellyfish.
Gale, Biter and Sea-Star were flying towards Tentacruel while the others hold back the army.
"Ash, we should try reasoning with them." Misty piped up.
"She's right, perhaps Tentacruel would leave peacefully if we tried." Brock said while still holding the injured Horsea.
"I know, but how? Would Tentacruel even listen to us?" Ash grumbled.
"Oh Ashie, I can't leave you for a few hours can I?" Ash's eyes widen when heard the familiar voice behind him.
"Me—Mom?" It was Mew in her Delilah disguise again.
"You know what? I've decided to stick with you until you become a Mew yourself so you won't be so totally defenseless." she said with a playful smile.
Ash sighed before giving her a weak smile and said, "So… what can we do?"
"Ms. Ketchum, what are you doing here?" Misty asked, surprised that Ash's mother would be here of all places, she thought she went home after that beauty pageant fiasco.
"Oh that's not important right now Misty. Ashie, here's an easy way to persuade that nasty Tentacruel." Mew-Delilah said and began whispering in her child's ear.
Ash jumped back and said, "You really think THAT will work?"
"Of course, I know how these Tentacruel think." Mew-Delilah wink as Ash sighed and nodded.
"Just get it over with."
"Ash, where are you going?" Brock asked when he saw the boy starting to walk closer to the battle.
"To reason with Tentacruel. Wish me luck guys." Ash winked before charging towards the oceanic battle field.
"ASH! DON'T BE SUICIDLE!" Brock and Misty shouted but the boy ignored them.
Mew reverted back to her original pink cat form and flew next to her child, smiling with excitement. "Get ready, my little Ashie."
"Do it Memma!" Mew glowed with hot pink aura and surrounded Ash with it. Ash, still glowing with the pink aura, was thrown high into the sky.
The battle with the giant Tentacruel wasn't going so well, even with Royalpoke and Magikarp's help, the Pokemon were getting exhausted and getting battered and greatly outnumbered.
"We will soon finish you all off." Tentacruel said and raised a tentacle ready to finish the job when suddenly…
"STOP IT ALL OF YOU!" a voice shouted from the sky just above the large Tentacruel's jelly head.
"Who dares stop justice?" Tentacruel snapped until he saw just what and who stopped them and its eyes went wide.
"I am the Child of the Great Mew. If you continue your destruction on the human city your home and your colony will cease to exist!" it was Ash and Mew have transformed him into a smaller blue Mew again. Though Ash sound and appear confident and angry, he was really nervous for two things; Tentacruel would just slam him away and he never floated so high before.
Everybody froze as they looked up at the little blue Mew shouting at the giant Tentacruel.
"Ash? What are you doing up there? You could get hurt!" Konoha cried still having that overprotective nature over his 'little brother'.
"Don't get your bulb in a twist, Konoha. I think Ash has a plan." Eon quickly said before the Bulbasuar could ruin whatever plan Ash has.
"Why do you side with the humans? If you are indeed the Child of the Creator of Pokemon than you should know better than anyone that humans are dangerous to Pokemon and must be extinct at once." Tentacruel said, not snapped, because like most Pokemon, have respect for Mew and its kin.
Ash was doing his best not to look down and show fear. "The humans may not realize it, but I've been living amongst them to see what their life is like. I am aware many humans can be selfish and greedy and would do anything for money and power, but that doesn't give you the right to destroy them. I understand you are angry that they are damaging your home, but if you destroy theirs it will show you are no better than they are. Do you really want that?"
Tentacruel was deep in thought of what the little blue Mew just said. "I do not wish to be like those cruel (irony) and selfish humans, but I cannot just standby and let them wreck what's left of our home."
Ash nodded. "I know, but perhaps there are more… peaceful ways of settling the matter. Perhaps if the humans knew they were hurting you they would stop, for they do not know they were destroying your home."
Tentacruel grumbled as he looked down at the people that were watching the scene. Despite not understanding Pokemon language, they seem to understand what they had done was wrong and wish for all this to end.
Finally, the giant jellyfish said, "Very well, I will let them go. But if this happens again we will not stop, make sure they remember this well, Child of Mew."
"Thank you, Tentacruel." Ash said in both relief and pride.
"It seems Ash just made a deal with Tentacruel; so long as the humans here don't keep destroying their homes they'll leave them alone." Storm said in relief.
"Do you really think the humans would know about this? I doubt any of them can understand what they were saying." Gale said to the Pikachu on his back a little concerned.
"Oh I'm sure the humans had learned their lesson Gale my boy, maybe now they'll know not to mess with a Pokemon's home." Biter said.
Horsea weakly opened her eyes and saw Brock smiling at her. "Hey there, you feeling better?"
"Yes, thank you. But what about Tentacruel and Tentacool?" she asked worried.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like they're going back to the ocean peacefully." Brock said and was a bit worried for Ash.
However, not everybody had learned the all important lesson. Nastina was growling as she came out of rubble and tried shooting with guns and cannons at the giant jellyfish, which did nothing more then bounce off the jelly surface. Tentacruel turned to the nasty woman.
"What is that woman doing? Does she WANT to get killed?" Kooper growled, they didn't want to have to start another war with the jellyfish again.
"Maybe if we're lucky Tentacruel would just go after her." Blossom the Oddish snickered.
"I will exterminate you if it's the last thing I do!" Nastina yelled.
"We've gotta stop her!" Brock and Misty shouted as they hurried down to get to her before Tentacruel goes on another rampage.
"Tentacruel…" Ash started.
"Do not worry young Mew, I will not kill her, but she needs to be taught a lesson." Tentacruel said as he approached the nasty woman.
"So you big jelly, you ready to call it quits?" Nastina said.
Tentacruel whacked her with his large tentacle and send her flying across the sky… and she landed right on her look-alike Brutella.
"You really shouldn't drop in on me like this." Brutella said.
"I thought that's what cousins are for." Nastina sighed… yes, they are related.
"Wow that was awesome!" Ash had wanted to do that to that woman ever since she tried to bribe him and his friends to kill the Tentacool off.
"You take care young Mew." Tentacruel said as he and the Tentacool took their leave back into the deep blue sea.
So with the Tentacool's revolution over, people began rebuilding their homes. Ash was reverted back as a human and Mew, back as a Meowth, decided to stick with her child after all. Brock, Misty and Ash returned all their Pokemon back to their respective Poke Balls, except Storm the Pikachu of course.
"And take a look at this." Brock smiled as he held out a Dive Ball and released Horsea. "From now on this Horse, Nami, will be my partner."
Nami the Horsea was happy as she cuddled to Brock. "I promise to do my best to live up to your expectation."
"I wonder what other Pokemon we would get." Misty daydreamed about getting a really rare Pokemon.
"Well guys, we should get going. The ferry to the mainland is here." Ash said pointing at the boat and people getting on board.
"Hey Ash, what happened to Team Rocket?" Storm asked and just realized that they sort of disappeared.
"They've probably decided to train somewhere. I sense a change coming over Jessie, James and even Meowth." Nya said with a smile. Both Storm and Nya were on Ash's shoulders.
"Me too, I hope that someday they'll quit being Team Rocket and become better people." Ash said with a proud smile as they began docking on the ferry.
Chapter 26, Who're You Gonna Call? ASH KETCHUM!
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Ash asked out of the blue while he and his friends were still on the ferry.
"Where did that question come from?" Misty asked.
"The next town we're going to have a legend about a maiden waiting for her husband for 2000 years and she turned to stone and ever since then her ghost has been looking for him." Ash said… actually Mew had told him that little story last night and now he's curious if it's true.
"Oh dear sweet tragedy for the young girl, why would her man leave her like that? That's just too cruel!" Brock cried overdramatically.
"In the story it's because he had to go fight a war, but apparently he died in battle, that's why he never returned." Ash said casually.
"That sounds so tragic, but really why would anyone waste their time standing in one spot for 2000 years and turn themselves to stone to wait for a dead man?" Storm asked feeling that such a thing was ridiculous beyond reasoning.
Nya, the Meowth secretly a Mew, answered the Pikachu. "Love can make you do crazy things, young Pikachu, perhaps you'll understand someday."
"I heard there might be a fall festival at the town we're docking in, if that's true I can't wait to join in the fun." Misty smiled, daydreaming about the last fall festival she was in.
They soon arrived on the mainland and sure enough there was a festival going on in the town. Misty was pretty excited about it, Ash smiled but wasn't as excited as Misty, Brock was a bit depressed though because… swimsuit season was over.
"I'll just ride the Ferries Wheel alone." Brock sighed.
Then the man turned his head and saw… a beautiful maiden girl dressed in a white gown and was looking at the sea.
Brock had hearts his squinted eyes. "Wow what a knocker!"
"Brock, that's a Ghastly." Nya said when she saw the 'girl' too. She knew that Ghastly used an illusion.
"But I sense that Ghastly is no ordinary Pokemon." Nya added to herself.
"Misty, Brock, you guys go on ahead, I want to switch out Pokemon." Ash said suddenly.
"Why Ash?" Misty asked.
"Remi, Luna and Nidosaur needs some training, they're falling behind." Ash said simply.
"Okay, we'll meet you later then. Come on lover boy." Misty dragged the love struck Brock.
Ash turned on his Pokedex and pushed the white button to switch out Konoha, Kooper and Gale for Remi the Ratatta, Luna the Clefairy and Nidosaur the Shiny Nidoran (male). As soon as he did he released them from their Poke Balls.
"Hey guys, long time no see." he greeted them cheerfully.
"Hey Remi… Luna and Nidosaur, it's good to see you all again." Storm was really happy to see Remi, that's for sure.
Remi, Luna and Nidosaur all charged and pounced Ash to the ground. Hugging, cuddling and licking him all at once; it's clear they all missed him too.
"Ash! We haven't seen you in almost two months!" Nidosaur cried on Ash's face.
"You kept us waiting and waiting! I could just bite you for making us wait so long!" Remi cried too.
"Luna wants to spend more time with Ash! Luna doesn't want Ash to give her away again!" Luna also cried.
"Alright, okay! Calm down everyone!" Ash laughed while they continually kept cuddling him.
Storm and Nya both laughed at the little predicament Ash was in. Finally, the three Pokemon calm down enough to get off Ash.
"I thought it'd be nice to change up my team once in a while. Look at the town we're in, it's a festival." Ash gestured.
"But we're not going to be playing in one of these lame human games, what I have in mind is something far more… mysterious and fun." Mew-Meowth said with that smile again.
"What are Luna and friends going to do?" Luna asked nervously, aware of Mew Games and how scary they can be.
"It was actually my child's idea this time I'm just to provide the means of playing it." Mew-Meowth said with a proud smile and gestured to Ash, who blushed and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
"Ash, you're getting more and more like Mew everyday, I swear." Storm grumbled as he wasn't aware that Ash had ideas for Mew Games too.
"Let's get this over with. What do we have to do?" Remi asked, showing no fear, as always the brave Ratatta… she's the top percentage Ratatta, take that Joey! (Sorry, had to make the reference)
"Well this is actually from my curiosity of the Ghost of Maiden's Peak." Ash said and told them the story about the woman turning into stone after waiting 2000 years for her love to return, though he never did.
"So what are we suppose to do? Please don't tell us you're actually going to send us back in time and make sure the man actually comes back to her." Nidosaur said nervously as his ears twitched from anxiety, he wouldn't put it pass the mischievous legendary pink cat.
"No, because if we did that it could cause a lot of changes in our future that we most likely don't want. Instead, my little Ashie here is going to be playing… the Ghost Buster." Nya announced.
"Are you serious?" Remi looked at her trainer.
"Of course, I want to see if the ghost is real. Memma told me a lot of strange things have been happening here year after year every festival. I know tonight that ghost is going to make a move and I want to be there to stop it if it's trying to get a soul." Ash said with that Mew trademark smile.
"Yeah right, you're just looking for an excuse to play a Mew Game." his first partner the Pikachu could see right through him.
"Still I'd like to see this for myself." Remi smirked.
"Will Luna and friends be scared?" the Clefairy asked nervously.
"Maybe, but that's the point of facing your fears. Oh, by the way, these two will be joining us too. I'd like you to meet them." Ash took out a Cherish Ball and a Luxury Ball and released the Shiny Charmander Scorch and Spiky-Haired Eevee.
"This is Scorch and Eon. Eon, Scorch, meet some of my first Pokemon; Remi the Ratatta, Luna the Clefairy, and Nidosaur the Shiny Nidoran."
"It's nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you three, especially you Remi, from Storm over there." Scorch snickered and pointed at the blushing Pikachu.
"Wow, I didn't know you had another Shiny other than Scorch, Ash." Eon said with sparks in her black eyes.
"W-well I've never seen an Eevee with such spiky hair like yours." Nidosaur said blushing a little while Eon giggled.
"Okay gang, we can get to know each other a little more while we play this next Mew Game." Ash said and began discussing it with his Pokemon friends.
So later that night, Misty and Brock were sitting in the Pokemon Center, worried for their friend and why he hasn't returned yet.
"Maybe we should go look for him." Misty suggested.
"Yeah, I'm worried for him." Brock nodded.
Suddenly the Pokemon Center's doors began to shut with those metal garage things.
"Wait! We have to find him!" Brock said quickly as he stood up.
"Not so fast! You can't go out there now, its way past your bedtime and that's bad for your health." Nurse Joy scolded them before they could leave.
Meanwhile, outside in the dark, Ash and his Pokemon were walking around the empty streets. It's hard to believe it was so lively earlier today, now it's like… a ghost town. Ash had his flashlight on, all his Pokemon inside their respective Poke Balls, except his Pikachu who's on his shoulders, quivering from the cold…and a little from fear. Nya was nowhere to be seen, but it's safe to say she's nearby.
"This is so creepy Ash, why don't we do this in the morning?" Storm asked nervously.
"Don't be such a scardy Meowth, Storm. The ghost of that maiden won't appear here when the sun's out." Ash said hoping Storm would keep calm so they could find what they're looking for.
"B-but it feels like we're strolling through an empty town and something big and scary is just waiting to pop out and eat us." Storm protested and clutched to Ash's shoulder tightly as if afraid if he falls off he'll fall to his doom.
"Don't tell me you're scared." Ash teased.
Storm tried to look brave. "Oh please, I'm not scared of some stupid ghost... sort of."
"Don't worry, if my plan works, we'll find that ghost and get answers. Remember; we have the power of Mew on our side."
"Y-yeah… but aren't Psychic types weak to Ghost?" Storm shuttered.
Before Ash could reply, a sweet young woman's voice said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
This effectively caused the Pikachu to scream and accidently gave Ash a little jolt. Ash, ignoring the jolt, quickly turned around and flashed his flashlight on… a pale white ghost of a young woman, who didn't seem fazed by the light at all and kept staring at them.
"Are you the ghost of Maiden's Peak?" Ash demanded, putting up a brave front, though inwardly he was really nervous. Storm kept vibrating on his shoulders and kept quiet.
She nodded and said, "Will you please come with me? I've been so lonely."
"Sorry lady, but I'm not your lover man. I'm only here for some answers." Ash said.
"Oh? And what questions do you have for me?" she asked him.
"Who are you, really?" Ash asked.
"Why ask such a thing of me?"
"Because I know you're not who you say you are." Ash pointed out with a smirk of triumphed.
That's when she glared and floated, her hair spiraled out as if wanting to grab him. "So you knew, but that doesn't matter. I will take your soul!"
"Now Memma!" Ash called.
A pink ball of psychic energy suddenly blast through the ghost woman and threw her to the ground as if she were solid.
"Don't mess with my child, Ghastly!" Mew hissed as she appeared from above, apparently she was invisible and followed Ash and Storm through the empty town and waited for her cue.
The ghost woman turned dark purple before turning into a ball of gas with a face. It was indeed Ghastly, Ash took out his Pokedex to scan it.
"Ghastly, the gas Pokemon. Ghastly are Pokemon come to life by poisonous gas and haunt those who pollute the air. Ash, becareful, there's something about this Ghastly that's not normal." Dexter warned.
The Ghastly smirked as he floated up to them. "Indeed, that infernal machine speaks the truth. I may be a Ghastly but my illusions and powers are far superior then that of my final evolution Gengar." the Ghastly can speak human too.
"Listen Ghastly; we're not here to cause a fight. We just want to help the real maiden reunite with her long lost love." Ash said.
"If that's even possible." Storm added doubtfully.
"And how could you mortals even help? You cannot enter the spirit realm without losing your own bodies." Ghastly snapped.
"Simple; through the use of a Mew Game we can go into any dimension without losing our bodies." Ash answered.
"I really hate Mew Games." the Pikachu grumbled.
"Mew… you are the Pokemon that created us. I have no doubt in your power, but that maiden's love has been missing even in the spirit realm. Can you really find him and finally put her restless spirit in peace?" even the Ghastly has high respect for the pink cat legendary.
"My little Ashie can find a way." Mew winked playfully.
"But the spirit realm is filled with other ghosts and Ghost Pokemon that will most likely not welcome any mortals there. Are you sure you're up for such a task?" Ghastly warned the human boy.
"Not really." Storm grumbled and Ash rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I'm ready."
"Okay little Ashie, here's a couple of things you're going to need to make sure those nasty ghosties don't hurt you." Mew declared as she used her Psychic energy to conjure up a pink vacuum.
"Memma!" Ash whinned.
"Okay, okay, sheesh, mons these days are always so ungrateful." Mew grumbled as she changed the vacuum color to blue, then she made him a yellow flashlight.
"Remember this flashlight runs on electricity so if you run out of energy just have Stormy here use his electric attack, but don't over do it." Mew explained.
"What good are a flashlight and vacuum cleaner going to do?" Storm demanded, feeling that using house appliances in a ghost world was ridiculous.
"By themselves? Not much, but with my enchanted help, they'll be able to suck in those nasty spirits for storage. Ashie can release them once he gets ready to leave that creepy dimension." Mew explained.
"I remember using these when I was seven. Memma wanted me to conquer my fears of dark and ghosts, so she had me use these. Trust me; they work." Ash assured the nervous Pikachu.
"Alright, but we do not have much time. You've got until the sun rises, after that you must leave the spirit world or you'll be trapped there for another year." Ghastly warned.
"Now I can't go with you Ashie since I have to use the majority of my powers to make sure you and your Pokepals stay alive in there. So please be extra careful, this isn't one of my Mew Games that can guarantee your safe returning." Mew warned, not wanting her child to get hurt or worse.
"Oh that's reassuring." Storm grumbled sarcastically.
"I'll help guide you to her, but the rest is on your own." Ghastly said as Ash nodded, determined.
Mew closed her eyes and concentrated. Dark pink aura surrounded the little pink legendary cat as her psychic energy began forming a portal in front of Ash, Storm and Ghastly. The three of them nodded to each other as they jumped through the portal.
Ash and Storm were a bit surprised that just by stepping through the portal they were already there.
"Well, that was a lot less dramatic than what I was expecting. I thought we'd be going through some sort of dark vortex or something." Storm said a bit disappointed.
Ash had that blue vacuum strapped to his back and his flashlight charged up and ready to shine.
"Now stay close to me you two; if you get lost you most likely may never return." Ghastly warned them.
"Just lead the way, Ghastly." Ash said, hoping they can get this done before the night is through.
The little Pikachu kept clutching onto Ash's shoulder, too scared to let go. Inside the ghostly world was dark and cold, bone chilling even. The trees were all bare, the grasses are sharp and prickly, mist covered the area and even the air itself was warning them to go back.
"I really don't like it here. I've never liked the dark or ghosts." Storm said and shuttered as a chill went down his spine.
"Shhh, keep quiet or you'll wake up Baby Tiny. She's a real monster, even though she's not a Pokemon she has magic that are just as dangerous if not more." Ghastly warned.
"Why is her name… Tiny?" Storm asked. A ghost with the name 'Tiny' doesn't sound very scary at all.
"Let's hope you'll never have to find out. We have to get past her nursery if we want to get to our destination before sunrise, going around would take too long." Ghastly said.
"Okay, stay quiet Storm." Ash whispered and the Pikachu gulped and curled himself a bit more on his shoulder.
Ahead was a house and amazingly enough it was intact, but really old looking and dusty… the windows were slanted as if glaring.
"M-maybe we sh-should just turn back." Storm was really getting nervous now as they approached the door.
"Don't get cold feet on me now Storm." Ash grumbled.
"Quiet you two, if Tiny is still taking her nap we should get by just fine so long we don't wake her, but if she sees us she'll want to play with us and trust me… you don't want that." Ghastly warned with a dead serious tone.
It was bad enough being Mew's toy, but to some ghost baby? That would be a true nightmare. So the two mortals kept quiet and tried to take light steps… well Ash took the steps, Storm just shivered on his shoulder and Ghastly merely floated.
Inside the house was an ordinary looking nursery, nothing fancy, toys were scattered, a rocking horse here, a few blocks there and a floating icy blue baby sleeping on a crib…wait, that's not normal. Ash and Storm assumed this was Tiny.
"… I wanna pway… pwease pway with me…" she moaned in her sleep.
It was so dark; Ash couldn't see where he was going. The boy was about to turn on his flashlight but suddenly tripped over a ball and fell to the carpet floor. The fall didn't really hurt nor caused a lot of noise, but the ball bounced and hit the blocks, which made noise and one block got hit on the rocking horse, causing it to rock a little and squeaked.
Well, this certainly woke the baby up. Tiny, now awake, floated above Ash, Storm and Ghastly.
"Huh? Ahhh, who're you? Hey… wanna pway with me?" Tiny smiled playfully and much more sinisterly then Mew ever did.
"No Tiny, we're on strict business." Ghastly said firmly.
Tiny whined, "Awww, you're no fun Ghaswy!"
"Sorry little girl, but we really need to go." Ash said as he hastily tried to leave the room.
"No way! Why do you have to be bigger than me? Goo goo ga! Small, grow smaller! Itsy bitsy, teeny tiny! Ohhh Litwicky, time to pway!" she suddenly yelled.
"No, this is bad!" Ghastly growled.
"What's happening?" Storm cried as everything started to get brighter and brighter.
"You're about to find out why her name's Tiny!" Ghastly answered just before everything went white.
Ash felt the ground underneath him was unstable and soft. The brightness gone, he opened his eyes and dared to take a look… only to see he, Storm and Ghastly are now standing/floating right on top of the baby's now giant crib!
"Whoa! How did everything grow so big?" the Pikachu cried and fell off of Ash's shoulder in shock.
"Uh… I think we shrunk, Storm." Ash pointed out.
As if on cue, Tiny herself floated onto her crib and she was now three times bigger than they are now. "Now you will be my toys and pway with Litwicky and me forever and ever." she said with that little girl tone of her's.
"Who's Litwicky?" Storm asked nervously.
"He's a Litwick, this girl's partner and playmate." Ghastly briefly explained and a candle like Pokemon that's even bigger than Tiny herself floated above them. The flame on its head was purple and burned like a true spirit.
"Tiny, it's been a long time since we got new toys." the Litwick said that sounded like a little boy… and apparently all Ghost Pokemon in this realm can speak human.
"Oh great, now what'll we do? It's bad enough we were Mew's toys, but now to these brats? I DON'T THINK SO!" Storm growled as sparks of electricity leaked through his red cheeks.
"Looks like we'll be needing some help. Come on out, Remi and Eon!" Ash called as he threw out their Poke Ball and Luxury Ball.
"You'll never escape. Once Tiny turns you into her toys you'll become her eternal entertainment." Litwick smirked evilly.
Will Ash, Storm and Ghastly be able to fight off Tiny and her Litwick and return back to their normal size? Will they be able to find the fair maiden's ghost and return her to her love before sunrise? Or will they fail and become trapped as play dolls forever? Find out next time on The Child of Mew.
