Chapter Six: The Snow Storm Secret
There was a long silence as the group stared at this Pokemon in wonderment. Michelle wanted to say something, but she was completely speechless.
Ash finally broke the silence after a few more seconds. "Michelle?"
Without looking at Ash she answered, refusing to take her eyes off the Pokemon. "It can't be." She reached into the smallest pocket of her backpack and pulled out a folded up piece of paper. Michelle slowly lifted her hand and held the paper for Ash to see. "This is a picture of a wall carving that I found on the internet. It is a picture of what Mew should look like."
They both compared the image to the Pokemon, who had its back turned to the group while it was fixing the area around the nest.
"Look Ash, same tail, same shape. The words around the image claim that this was a psychic pokemon and look. . ." Michelle pointed to the Pokemon as they saw it pick up small rocks and put them in place using some sort of power. "Looks like this is psychic to me."
Ash agreed. The Pokemon just listened to them as they continued to watch and hide.
"Ash we did it." Michelle smiled as she continued to watch the Pokemon. "We found a Mew!"
Ash smiled back and then smiled at the pokemon that was still behind them. "Thanks guys!"
They nodded.
Michelle refused to leave. She couldn't pull herself away from the beautiful creature that she saw in front of her. She had brought a camera, but she decided not to take a picture for the click of the shutter might frighten Mew. They continued to watch until Mew finished with the nest, formed a pink cloud around itself and flew out of the cave like a bullet from a gun.
"Wow!" Michelle said as she stood up from her hiding place. "That was Mew." She looked over to the small hole. "And those are the eggs of Mew." Then it hit her. "I know!" She pulled Ash onto his feet using his shirt collar and looked into his eyes. "I understand!"
Ash wasn't sure what she was talking about so he kept his mouth shut.
"I know why Mew comes to this mountain. Mew is a very rare species. So in order to protect its offspring it chooses the most dangerous, and hostile places on the planet to lay its eggs. This way they are safe from human reach."
"But other Pokemon can get to them." Ash said.
"Yeah, well maybe Mew doesn't fear other Pokemon." Michelle thought out loud. "Maybe it just fears humans because we are too destructive and because of the fear of getting captured."
Ash thought about what Michelle was saying. "That makes sense."
"Of course it does!" Michelle smiled. "Oh, I can't wait to tell everyone at home that my Granddaddy was right and they were wrong!" Michelle grabbed Ash, once again, by his collar and pulled him with her as she jogged out of the cave. Ash barely had enough time to call his Pokemon back. Once outside the cave they both took in a deep breath of fresh air. The air in the cave was a little stuffy and warm.
"Okay, now that we made it up here," Ash said as he peered down the mountain from the ledge. "how are we going to climb back down?"
Michelle smiled. "We don't have to, Ash!" She reached into her backpack and pulled out a Pokeball. "I choose you!" The Pokeball opened and out of it appeared a Fearow.
Ash was in shock. Even more so than when he saw a legendary extinct pokemon in the cave. "You. . . you mean you had a flying pokemon that could have just flown us up here the whole time!!"
"Well, yes. But if we just flew up here then we wouldn't be able to see all the detail that we needed to find Mew than if we climbed up ourselves." Michelle quickly answered hoping that Ash would understand her reasoning. "Do you have any idea how many times I did fly up and down his mountain and came out with nothing? If we had climbed we wouldn't have noticed that tiny little crack that led us to this small cave. Speaking of which we need to put the rock back," Michelle finished as she looked up at Fearow and then pointed to the rock.
Her Fearow understood what she wanted and began to push the rock back.
"Besides," Michelle began again. "This way it was more fun!" She winked at him.
"You call climbing up a steep, slippery, stormy mountain, freezing until our bodies were numb and almost falling down to our deaths fun?" Ash was getting a little excited and mad.
"Uh huh," Michelle nodded.
Ash just rolled his eyes back. He felt like he was going to faint, but then he realized he couldn't do it in front of Michelle.
After the rock was put back and the cave was almost completely sealed (except for the little crack opening) the two kids loaded themselves on Fearow back, but before Fearow could take off a huge rope net covered them.
"Hey what's this?" Michelle screamed as she tried to get it off.
"I think I know!" Ash said as he and Fearow both tried to shake the net off of them.
"Prepare For Trouble!"
"And Make it Double!"
Team Rocket's balloon flew down from above and hovered over the ledge.
"Hey," Ash interrupted. "don't you guys ever learn?"
Jesse got upset. "Don't you ever interrupt the Team Rocket motto you little pest!" She screeched.
"You aren't in the position to complain now that we really have you where we want you."
"That's right," Meowth agreed with a huge grin.
"That's that you think!" Ash pulled out a Pokeball, squeezed his hand through the net and called out Bulbasaur.
"Bulba."
"Bulbasaur use your razor leaf to get us out of here!" Ash ordered as Bulbasaur released a couple of leaves that sliced up the ropes to the net.
The net fell to the floor.
"Hey, they got out of the net!" Meowth exclaimed.
"Now we'll show ya!" Ash screamed out.
"Wait Ash let me handle this!" Michelle reached for another Pokeball. "I choose you!" Michelle called out as a really adorable electric mouse Pokemon appeared out of its Pokeball.
"Cool! A Raichu!" Ash said.
"Raichu, use your thunder attack!" Michelle ordered as Raichu jumped up and released a huge thunder attack towards Team Rocket.
"Oh no!" Team Rocket screamed out as the electric attack struck them and causing their balloon to explode. The blast from the explosion tossed Team Rocket up in the air.
"You'd think we'd be use to this by now!" Meowth said.
"Maybe we'll have better luck next time!" James said.
"We're blasting off again!" They all called out as they disappeared into the sky.
Ash sighed. "This is getting to be too easy."
Michelle and Ash called back their Pokemon, climbed onto Fearow and flew back down to the tower.
Inside the tower Misty and Brock waited for their friends. They were sitting at the table getting ready to eat the lunch that Brock had prepared.
"You know what Misty." Brock said as they continued their conversation they have been having. "I give up. I don't think that Michelle is really my type anyway."
"Oh really," Misty said sarcastically as Pikachu appeared from the office where it was taking a nap. Brock was being to loud and it couldn't get much sleep so it decided to join them.
"Nah," Brock said. "I know it's going to break her heart when I tell her that it will never work between us." Brock sighed. "But if it has to be done it has to be done."
Misty didn't say anything. She was having a hard time keeping herself from laughing. The door then opened as Ash and Michelle walked in smiling and laughing.
"Hey, you guys look happy!" Misty said as she watched them as they came in and sat at the table with them.
"You guys will never believe what we just experienced." Michelle said as Misty served her a tasty looking sandwich.
"What?" Both Brock and Misty asked.
"Tell them Ash." Michelle winked at Ash.
"We found Mew!" Ash exclaimed, he was about as excited as Michelle was.
Misty, Brock and Pikachu listened as the two told them everything that happened using as much detail as they possibly could.
After the story they continued to talk about it. They couldn't talk about anything else. They talked until it was dark and it was time to get some sleep. It was only a matter of seconds until Brock, Misty and Pikachu fell asleep. Ash was curling up in his sleeping bag when he heard Michelle's voice coming from the dark.
"Ash."
"Yes, Michelle?"
"Thank you for helping me." Michelle whispered to him.
"It was my pleasure." Ash answered back he rolled over in his sleeping back so he could hear her better.
"I had fun these past few days."
"Me too." Ash said.
"Good night Ash." Michelle whispered.
"Good night Michelle." Ash whispered back as he gently closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
