LEGEND OF THE MER-MEW
Part 2
By PinkScyther

DISCLAIMER: What, ya didn't read enough disclaimer back in part one?

*trumpet playing* Finally, after all this time, the moment you've all been waiting for: *drumroll* The second part of Legend Of The Mer-Mew!!! I finally beat the writer's block!!!
Blue9Tiger has been turned into The Eater, and is destined to cause the extinction of the Mer-Mew. Mew needs to find some help fast!
Instead of 'it', which is too confusing, I'll put a * for Blue9Tiger.
Started: 6/4/01


"Mew,"
The Pokémon flew as fast as she could from the awful scene. As she flew, Mew wished that she could do more. But she knew that finding help was the most she could do. If she tried to fix things herself, more damage could be caused because Mew were just too powerful. Playing with time and space was too difficult and dangerous.
That Jigglypuff is dangerous, thought Mew. Only she was spiteful enough to threaten a whole race of Pokémon just to repay the human who killed her.
Who would be able to save the Mer-Mew? wondered Mew. She decided to trust her instincts to take her in the right direction. She closed her eyes and flew in whatever direction came into her head.

Meanwhile, in the early hours of the morning, in a normal house were two normal girls who had no idea of the completely unnormal things that were about to happen.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we had to save the world?" PinkScyther asked her friend Pikachu13.
They were both 13 years old, so they were able to start a Pokémon Journey. But the two had decided to take a short course on Pokémon at school, to be even more ready. They would leave at the end of the year.
"What?"
"Wouldn't it be cool if we had to save the world? Y'know, have this huge adventure where if anything went wrong you could be killed, but you'd still do it because the world needed saving?"
"Well, yeah." Pikachu13 and PinkScyther were at a sleepover at Pikachu13's house.
"I hope I get to save the world," continued PinkScyther.
"From what?"
"I dunno. Anything. Evil Furbys!"
"You're weird."
"Weird, and proud of it!"
"Yep, definitely weird!"
The two laughed. Suddenly, PinkScyther stopped laughing, and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" asked Pikachu13.
"I heard a Mew!"
"Oh come on. Remember the time you thought you heard an Articuno?"
"Mew!"
"Really funny. You can't fool me with your Mew impression!"
"It wasn't me!"
"Mew!"
They both heard it this time. Immediately, they were teleported to the roof of the house where Mew sat.
"Wow, a Mew!" cried Pikachu13.
"You're so cute Mew!" cried PinkScyther.
"Why are you here? Why did you teleport us up here?" asked Pikachu13.
I need your help. She turned to PinkScyther. You want to save the world. Well, would you like to save the Mer-Mew?
"Who are the Mer-Mew?" asked PinkScyther.
The Mer-Mew are a legendary race of Pokémon who live deep under the sea. No human has ever seen them before, so that's why you don't know about them.
"Why do we need to save them?" asked Pikachu13. "What's happening to them?"
A monster has been created, and it's started hunting them. This monster is called The Eater, because it eats them.
"Who would create a monster like that?" wondered PinkScyther.
"Who could create a monster?" said Pikachu13.
It was an angry Pokémon ghost. That is all I know. It's up to you to find out more, and save the Mer-Mew.
"Where do we find the Mer-Mew?" asked Pikachu13.
They live in the deepest part of the ocean. Now I must go. There is nothing more I can do. Mew flew off. Good luck! she called.
Pikachu13 and PinkScyther looked at each other.
"So, when do we leave?" asked PinkScyther.
"Right now!" answered Pikachu13. "But first, where is the deepest part of the ocean?"

A little later, the two read the name in the atlas.
"The Mariana Trench."

The Eater swam with deadly grace. Blue9Tiger felt sorry for the Mer-Mew. They'd forgotten how to fight, after living peacefully for so long. And although The Eater had not yet killed any, it was becoming smarter and coming much closer. Already there were many Mer-Mew wounded. Blood swirled through the water, driving The Eater into a frenzy. It wouldn't be long before it would actually manage to eat a Mer-Mew.
The Mer-Mew backed up, the stronger ones forming a tight circle around the injured and the babies. They were trapped. The Eater rushed forward, the deadly jaws opening to reveal rows of razor sharp teeth.
"No, NO!" Blue9tiger cried, but no sound escaped The Eater's jaws except for a terrifying roar. It began to lower it's jaws over a Mer-Mew.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Blue yelled inwardly. * wished * could shut * eyes.
Just as The Eater was about to bite down, it stopped abruptly. It backed up, closing it's mouth, and then turned and swam upwards a little way.
Blue suddenly felt * control gradually returning. * swam towards the surface as fast as * could.
Blue reached the surface and burst out of it. * leapt high into the air. * began flying, the Charizard-wings beating the air strongly. Blue9Tiger flew towards land as fast as The Eater's body was capable.
* landed heavily on the beach, exhausted. As * lay there, * felt a strange shrinking sensation. Blue looked at *self. * was back to normal.
* looked up. The moon had set. It wouldn't be full moon again for another month.
* wasted no time. * got up, brushed the sand off * uniform and ran up the beach, into the night.
"I've got a month," * said to *self.
