Faith in a Child

Chapter Two: Frightful Visions

Mew left the caves rather quicker than when she was trying to get in. With the birds out of the way all she had to do now was get the animals and Celebi.

And Ash… This is going to be a lot harder than I thought.

Her eyes wandered over to the horizon.

Shoot! It's getting close to sunset. I should hurry!

Mew kicked up the pace a bit, but not so much that she couldn't search the ground for one of the animals. Once Mew had reached a little valley off Goldenrod she spotted some sparks of electricity in a old power plant that Goldenrod used as a nice place for electric pokemon to live. The power of the bolts was too high to read so Mew guessed it was a abnormal Pikachu or Raikou.

Raikou made more sense… Mew hovered down to the spot which the bolts were coming from. Sure enough, there stood Raikou gnawing on some lose wires. He glanced up at Mew briefly and then continued eating without a reply to her intrusion.

"Hey Raikou! Can I talk to you for a bit?" Mew asked sweetly.

"You seem to already be doing that," Raikou replied his mouth full.

Mew sweat dropped and rubbed the back of her neck in anime style.

"Uh, sorry to intrude…"

"No prob. Hungry?" Raikou asked kindly holding out a wire he hadn't chewed on yet.

"Uh… No, thanks," Mew smiled sheepishly. "I need to ask a favor of you…"

Raikou started chewing upon the one he had offered Mew and looked up at Mew curiously, "Shoot."

"Well, Mewtwo wants to get all the legendary pokemon together in our valley so we can prepare for this evil force he suspects is coming…"

"Evil force? Hmmm…" Raikou looked thoughtful for a bit. "Sure. I'll come."

Mew waited for Raikou to say something like But if such and such is coming… blah, blah, blah. But none came.

"Don't you have a grudge against some of the legendary pokemon?" Mew asked.

Raikou looked up from eating again and blinked confusingly, "No why?"

"Oh, no reason."

Mew flew off again, glad that it didn't take long. Man, Raikou is either real stupid or really isolated from the other pokemon… I mean, the legendary pokemon can't stand each other, yet Raikou was the easiest to do… hmm, I wonder if I should of told him the chosen was coming too. Nah.

"Oh well. Better make it easier then harder." Mew smiled. Suddenly, a little ways ahead of New Bark, Mew ran into a mist as thick as pea soup. Unable to see anything, Mew ran head first into a thick oak tree.

Stars twinkling in front of her eyes, Mew sat up groggily. She had landed in a small clearing with a beautiful lake in the center.

And in the middle of the lake…

"Suicune?" Mew muttered disbelief.

Suicune looked up at Mew and smiled, "Ah, Mew. Sorry bout the mist effect."

Mew shook her head lightly, "Ow."

"I said I was sorry," Suicune giggled. "I was trying to ward off trainers."

Mew nodded, still rubbing her sore head. She gazed over to the beautiful Suicune.

"If any trainer saw you there, they would think they were dreaming."

"Unfortunately, the group of trainers I ran into weren't as fooled as you think. They spotted me just a while ago… I hope they won't come back. This is my favorite spot," Suicune said a bit sadly.

"I bet they were just wandering trainers. They won't come back," Mew tried to comfort her.

"Maybe… I didn't get a good look at them but I am sure I saw that boy before… uh, so what are you doing here Mew?" Suicune said hastily changing the subject.

"Well, Mewtwo wishes for you and all the legendary Pokemon to come to the valley. We need to prepare for this… umm… Well, Mewtwo said it was the ultimate evil," Mew said a bit awkwardly.

Suicune looked a little stunned. She blinked a bit and regained her voice, "What?"

"I know it sounds stupid but that is seriously what Mewtwo told me." Mew stated.

Suicune blinked some more…

"Wow… I would of suspected this from Raikou but not from Mewtwo. Are you sure he wasn't joking?" Suicune asked.

"Positive."

"…Okay. I'll go. But Raikou isn't… Well, I guess he is. Could you possibility…"

"Scout's honor."

Suicune smiled a thank you and leapt away and out of Mew's sight. Mew let out a sigh, "At least she didn't make a crack about my scout honor saying."

Mew began flying again. She didn't get every far till she sensed Entei presence. She landed back in Ecruteak city on the old burned tower. It was jammed pack with so many trainers but it wasn't anything Mew hadn't dealt with before. Mew playful swept through using all her old tricks. It is fun to do this again. Mew thought as she snuck past one of the less observant trainers. It reminds me of the good old days. I need to do this more often.

She got down to the basement of the tower and ran head on to Entei.

"Mew?! What do you think you are doing here?!" Entei gasped bewildered.

"Uh, Entei don't you know about all the trainers upstairs?" Mew asked.

"Yeah. They won't bother me yet. So why you doing here again?" Entei muttered.

"Heh. Well, Entei I came here to get you to came to hope valley. Mewtwo wants you to join him in a fight against a ultimate evil," Mew smiled.

Entei blinked and sighed, "Okay. Whatever. I have no clue what you two are up to but sure."

Mew let out a sigh of pure relief.

"But that human Delia won't be there, will she?"

Mew kindly offered to keep Delia away from Entei and flew off to where Entei suggested Celebi might be. She landed in Ilex forest, right at the shrine. Mew looked left and right and didn't see anyone.

"Celebi? Celebi you here?" Mew called. In a brilliant flash of light, a little green pokemon appeared. It giggled and let out in a shrilly voice, "Hello Mew!"

"Hello Celebi," Mew said in a less enthusiastic voice.

"Hey, since you're here; want to play tag? No powers! How bout it?" Celebi suggested. "How about Ancient Egypt. They have plenty of room. No trees to get in the way…"

"Maybe some other time. I'm kind of busy," Mew sighed.

"Awww…" Celebi whimpered.

"Truth be told, I need your help."

Celebi's eyes lit up.

"Really!"

"Yeah. I need you to go to Hope valley. We need to fight some bad guys!" Mew smiled trying to sound as positive as she could.

"COOL!!" Celebi cheered, "Count me in! This beats tag any day!"

"Good." Mew nodded toughly tired.

"What's going on! What's happening?!" Ash cried into darkness around himself. The darkness faded and revealed a dozen of images that flashed by quickly. Each one more clearer to Ash than the last. When finally…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ash screamed out bloody murder

Mew was flying over Johto when a scream almost made her fall out of the air.

"What the heck was that?"

"Ash, are you okay?" Misty asked once Ash had stopped screaming. They had happened to take a nap in the big open field while Brock cooked up some dinner.

"I had that dream again!" Ash said panicky, "My mom… I saw her and you and pikachu and… and…"

"Calm down, Ash," Misty said softly trying to calm him. "It was all just a dream."

"You were all dead! I saw it! And I saw a girl… and me… I killed you! I saw it ! I was so real! It was there! I was there! I saw it all happen!" Ash protested.

"Ash, when you kill us hell would of frozen over," Brock smiled. "It was just a dream. It wasn't anything different."

"Yeah, Ash. I have dreams like that all the time," Misty got a dreamy look in her eyes. "They seem so real but-"

Misty shook the thought away.

"It was just a dream," Brock finished for her.

"I believe you, Ash," Pikachu said softly so no one could hear. "I believe you completely."
