Both my mother and I looked astounded as we saw Mew float into my arms. She yawned sleepily and looked around. Then she giggled and we gaped. She got out of my arms and floated around, and then physically told me, "Surprise, surprise~."

"You were Mew all this time?" I exclaimed. Mew giggled again and flew around.

"Impossible," my mother said, "You captured Mew…"

"So I did," I mused. Mew floated around and came in front of me, and I glanced at her. She waved cheerfully at me and floated down to the battlefield.

"Slash," Jillian ordered, as the skeletal Kabutops aimed its scythe-like arms and tried to sever Mew's head. Mew merely floated out of the way and giggled, "Can't catch me~."

"Mew, Metronome," I ordered. That was what she knew, other than Pound and Transform, so I picked the better option. My Mew wiggled her paw and a group of roots sprouted from the ground, slamming against the Kabutops. The roots were growing in a mass frenzy, spreading leaves and turning into plants. Mew giggled, and I stared, as the Frenzy Plant shattered the Missingno into bits. My mother's glazed eyes rolled upwards and the color came back in them. She looked at me and pulled me into a hug.

"Oh my Arceus, Liana. You did it. You destroyed Missingno." She was half crying, half laughing as she said it. I hugged her tightly, realizing that all this time, she was being controlled by some virus. All our past fights were forgiven from the time we moved until now, and the future looked bright.

"Mom," I said, having not called her that in a while, other than the time I said it our of shock, "Let's go home."

"Let's," she agreed.

Suddenly, the ground shook and a vortex of black opened near Mew. Mew screamed, as a group of red and black arms grabbed her from midair and pulled her. Both mom and I tried to grab her, but we were too late.

The Pokemon that grabbed Mew had skinny legs that came to a point, but the stripes were not segmented and ran down for mostly all of the legs' length, with a large spike on each knee. For the arms, it had a pair of whip-like tentacles that come to a point where its hands would be. It had triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the skin was black and lined, with the lines shown to converge at the crystalline organ that was purplish in color. It said, "Deoxys," and continued to strangle Mew in its grasp.

"The… Evil," Mew telepathically told me, before the vortex closed and they both vanished.

"Mew!" I screamed, as I noticed a black hodded figure disappear out of the corner of my eye.
