Mew slept in the class cage, its long tail wrapped around its body.

'Mew,' said Victor. 'The one hundred and fiftieth pokemon. I can't believe we finally have it.'

'I say we make a pokedex entry for it right away,' said Chris. Paul nodded and started rapidly pressing keys at his computer. He accessed the program that created the pokedex and opened up a new entry.

'So we're definitely going to call it Mew?' he asked the others for confirmation.

'Yes,' said Victor. 'Almost all pokemon are named after the sound they make, so we might as well keep the pattern.'

Paul nodded and typed MEW into the screen. He entered the data that they had already recorded from studying Ditto. For the description of the pokemon he simply put "NEW SPECIE".

'What about the information?' Paul asked. 'What should we put for that?'

The others thought about it for a moment. Then Victor spoke up. 'Well before we actually captured Mew, we had a few reports of this phantom pokemon being seen. But everyone just said they must have imagined it. So how about something like "So rare it is still said to be a mirage by many experts"?'

Paul grinned. 'I like it.'

'"Only a few people have seen it worldwide",' added Chris. 'Just to add to the mystery of it.'

Paul nodded and entered the pokemon's information. The pokedex entry was now complete.

'So, are we going to use the satellite to automatically update all the pokedexes out there?' Chris asked.

'Not yet,' said Paul. He got up and walked over to the sleeping Mew. 'We're not just pokemon researchers, we're pokemon scientists. We can do more with this pokemon than just add it to the pokedex.'

'What are you getting at?' Victor asked.

'This pokemon is so rare that we're the first to capture it,' said Paul. 'It must have been hiding for a reason. I'd say it's because it's powerful. And a long time ago, before we had all this pokedex technology, trainers hunted it because of its power. It's the same reason that Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres are so rare. Because so many trainers want them that they hide away.'

'So you're saying it must be even more powerful than the birds,' said Victor. 'How is its power going to help us?'

'As trainers we've always wanted the ultimate pokemon to add to our teams,' said Paul. 'Well, we've finally found it. But there's a problem - there is only one. If we use some of this cloning equipment.. we can create more of them.'

'You want to clone Mew!?' Victor exclaimed. Paul nodded.

'I think we can do it,' he said. 'We're pokemon scientists after all.'

While the three men talked more about what they could do with this new pokemon, Mew opened its eyes.

'Mew..' it murmured sadly.
