Chapter 3 Cue the Evil, Malicious Laughing
Despite my misgivings, we trudged on ahead to our destination: The Pokémon League Reception building.
Ash registered, after making sure with us (well, Lugia and I) that we weren't about to bolt out on him.
I felt like doing just that, but maintained a shred of self-control.
That is, until *he* spoke to me.
At first I thought I was going crazy, and imagining the cruel, cold voice inside of my head.
But the blur that I was first able to pick up formed into words, and I realized I was being spoken to telepathically.
Hello Mew. There was not even a hint of warmth in the malicious voice. I am waiting.
I squeezed my eyes shut, a headache coming on because of the sheer immensity of this being's insertion of its presence in my mind. What do you want?
I want you and your companions to come to me, the evil being sneered.
I wanted to scream 'Get out of my head!' but refrained from giving him the satisfaction of my doing so. What did we ever do to you?
A harsh laugh, Pitiful fool. You've done nothing to me...But you threaten my existence.
I could hear distant concerned human voices, but I focused on the sinister creature that was trying to confuse my senses...And succeeding. How do I threaten your existence? I have no intention of harming-
I was sharply cut off, Don't you understand? The two of us cannot live in peace. This has to be settled, one way...Or another, and, with a laugh that sent shivers up my spine, the pressure on my senses *and* the wicked being were gone from my mind.
For now.
I brought myself back to the present, where I found myself splayed out on the floor, having fallen down after being contacted. My tail twitched, a habit that I'd picked up when I was younger and frightened. Ash was hovering worriedly over me, "Mew? Are you alright?"
'No, I'm not alright! Can't you see? Nothing is right anymore!' I wanted to yell, to explode...To do *anything*.
Anything but remain helpless against this evil creature that would most likely knock aside anything in its path.
I swallowed, and nodded, "Mew."
Ash gave me a dubious look. He could tell I was lying. But he was excited about reentering the Pokémon League, and let the subject drop.
But I knew I would have to face it sooner or later.
And I knew that it would indeed be sooner than later.
