'Charmeleon!' shouts a voice. Chris, startled, stumbles over and drops the pokemon.
'No!' he cries as Charmeleon lands on the ground with a thump. He gets up quickly and rushes towards it. Before he can reach it, a boy runs towards it and picks it up.
'Charmeleon!' he says, tears in his eyes. 'Please, say something! Say you're alright!'
'Is this your Charmeleon?' Chris asks. The boy nods. 'You should take better care of it. You can't allow it to get into this condition!'
The boy looks at Chris, and Chris notices that the boy, too, has scratches on his face. It looks as if he has been injured nearly as badly as the Charmeleon.
'It's not my fault,' the boy objects. He pulls his backpack off and opens it. Searching around inside, he finally pulls out a potion. He starts to spray it on his Charmeleon. 'Charmeleon and I came across the strangest pokemon we've ever seen. It was so powerful, it knocked both of us out just by looking at us!'
Chris gasps. Ninetales looks up at him. Chris starts to wonder.. could the pokemon possibly be Mew?
'Listen to me carefully,' he says to the boy. 'This pokemon, was it small, with a long tail and white fur?'
The boy looks curiously at Chris. 'No. I've never heard of a pokemon that looks like that...'
'OK,' nods Chris. 'What pokemon was it? Did you check your pokedex?'
The boy nods. 'I pointed my pokedex at it before it attacked. It said it was called "Mewtwo".'
