AN: Hello guys, we're back!

K: Time to move that cliffy we ended with.

SV: Yeah. You've had a while to figure it out, and you really should know because I've been leaving hints like crazy.

K: Neither of us own Pokemon.

Chapter 5.

… a little baby blue Mew. Yeah, he was now a hybrid. He snored slightly, and Mew giggled. When he woke up, he would probably go mad at her. But for now… she leaned over and gave him a hug.

'Night night, little Ashy.' Mew teleported herself to her room and curled up on her bed. I really hope Ash isn't too mad at me. She thought worriedly as she dozed off.

Ash woke up at around eight the next day. His mom was already downstairs cooking breakfast, knowing Ash would be hungry. Hybrids gobbled a lot of energy at first, but soon were back to normal. Mew was singing lightly downstairs. Ash was well aware of the fact his mother liked to sing when she was cooking breakfast, because Ash was only sometimes awake when she was. She always sung in Pokespeech, and Ash had never learned it, mostly because she never taught him. Mew was normally her human form, speaking in human language, or he was in a Pokemon form thanks to Mew, so he naturally understood it. But strangely, today she was singing in human speech, because Ash could understand her. He didn't know the words, but he could understand her singing. Ash yawned, and rolled out of bed, flipping the right way up as he went. He ended up floating.

'What in the Distortion World is this!' Ash screamed. It must be a dream. He thought feverently. This is a weird dream and I'll wake up in a second.

Mew heard him scream. Oh great. She thought. He's going to be so mad. She moved the food she was cooking onto a plate, luckily she was done, and put it onto the table. She floated up the stairs, giving Ash time to calm done. Hopefully he wouldn't be too mad at her for this. She poked her head around the door, and saw Ash was spinning in a circle trying to look at himself. He had apparently forgotten about the mirror.

'Everything alright Ashy? I heard you scream.' He stared at his parent like she was crazy.

'What do you mean is everything alright? I'm a Mew!'

'Yes, yes you are. A shiny, if you hadn't noticed.'

'Wait… so am I a hybrid? I didn't think you wanted me to become one?'

'I didn't, but I decided I would. That's one of the main reasons we have this week off your journey. To teach you your powers. I'll do my best to teach you this.'

'Ok mom.' Ash had calmed down now. 'Shall we do that today then?'

'Of course. Let's go.' Mew began to fly downstairs. 'But first, breakfast! Transform back to a human and let's go.' She swapped back to Delia. "Just focus. You can use your powers as a hybrid to change from this form and look human. Think about your human shape." Ash focused for a second, and was cloaked in that white light and a few small bubbles before it lifted, revealing Ash.

"That's cool!" Ash said. "This is pretty awesome. Why didn't you do it earlier?"

"I didn't want you to grow up spoiled. A few of the others are a little spoiled from their powers, but most bare it well." Ash nodded. They walked downstairs and ate breakfast in silence. Mew stood and transformed, beckoning for Ash to follow.

'Where are we going?'

'Training.' Mew said simply, before flying out into the back garden and towards the forest.

Chapter 6.

They spent the entire day teaching Ash how to work his powers. When they flew back, Ash just teleported straight to his room and fell asleep. Mew giggled. She knew it would tire him out, it had been tiring for her too. She teleported to her room and went to sleep planning out their journey for tomorrow. That would be a long and tiring trip for both of them. Hopefully the others would be happy to see her and Ash, and that they would sense them flying to their home quickly. Mew snuggled into the bed and sighed, choosing to worry about that tomorrow as she fell asleep.

Ash woke up that morning, and for a moment shocked himself seeing his tail. Then he remembered about becoming a hybrid. Floating up, he teleported downstairs into the living room. Mew was floating in the kitchen cooking, and waved when he came in.

'Hi Ashy. Had a good night?

'Yeah.' Ash said as he swapped back to his human form. "We've starting our journey today, right?"

'Yep.' Mew replied, bringing their breakfast over to the table, swapped to Delia and sat down too. "Hope you're ready to meet some of my friends."

"Where are we going to be heading?"

"Well, a few of my friends live in pretty weird places. And," Mew looked at her calender. "We won't be able to meet Jasmine. She'll be asleep again by now. Maybe next year."

"Who's Jasmine? What do you mean by 'asleep'?"

"Jasmine is a Jirachi. She sent the book of slips with the Hoenn Meteor Shower on. She used to sleep for a thousand years because of a serious injury. That's how it had to be, otherwise she couldn't recover properly. A few years before I got you, during her week awake, she got attacked. A human child who had been living alone in the forest with the help of some of the Pokmon found her and helped look after her. At the end of the week, she teleported to the Hall and asked me for some help. She wanted to make the child a hybrid, but she wouldn't be around to help him. So, I shortened her sleep to a year. It would slow her recovery, but she made the boy a hybrid. He didn't know his name, so she called him Julian. She then brought him to the Hall, and he stays there while Jasmine sleeps. We, that is to say Arceus and myself before I found you, looked after him. After I found you and started looking after you, Arceus kept an eye on him while Jas was gone. You might remember me having to go out at random points in the year. Well, I was heading into the Hall to check on Julian. I had more experience with kids after all."

"Can we meet Julian then? He's at the… wait, what's the Hall?"

"The Hall is the Hall of Origins. It's the place where everything was created from. I would have taken you before, but humans can't stay there for longer than a few hours, and I didn't want to make you a hybrid yet. So, I visited every now and then, but mostly stayed here with you."

"So, Julian is at the Hall of Origins. Can we go there first?"

"If you want to. I'll have to tell Arceus first though, so it might be better to go somewhere else." Ash stood up and transformed into his Mew form.

'Which of your friends do you want to visit first, while we wait to tell Arceus?' Mew transformed too.

'Let's go visit Vi. We'll be going to Castelia City and flying from there.' Mew wrapped her tail around Ash and teleported.

They arrived on top of one of the skyscrapers in the city. Ash looked around from there, but Mew pulled him along.

'Come on, let's go.' Ash jumped, and stared at his mom. 'I won't be talking out loud, just in case someone hears us. Just use telepathy.' Ash nodded.

'Ok. Where is it we're going?'

'I'll tell you while we fly. Now come on, we need to get moving.' Mew took off towards the sea, while Ash flew behind. As they got out to sea, they started talking normally again.

'So, where is it that we're going?'

'Liberty garden. It's where Vi and Victoria live. It was made by an extremely rich family for a place to relax. After a while, it was abandoned. Vi lived in the city at the time, and had hidden on the last ship to the island. She liked it, so she stayed there. As for Victoria…' Mew shrugged. 'You'll have to ask Vi about that.'

'Ok. I'll ask them later. Hopefully we get the story. How many people… errrr, Pokemon, will we be visiting? We only have a week.'

'We'll visit a couple of my friends. We'll do Vi and Sarah today. We can do Lilette, Lucca and Rila tomorrow. I haven't decided about any day after.' Ash nodded.

'Ok. Let's get a move on, shall we, mom? We don't have all day. Well, actually we do, but you know.' Mew chuckled along with Ash, then picked up the pace. Soon she was rocketing ahead of him.

'Ok Slowpoke, I'll race you there. See you over at the island, it's just ahead. No teleporting.' Ash shook his head at his mother's random playfulness, and surged ahead. Soon he caught up with his mother, and the island started to come into sight. Mew started her descent, so Ash turned sharply to catch up. They landed at the same time, and a small Victini floated out. It was shiny, so Ash assumed that it must be Vi's daughter. She spoke, quite shyly, to the two Mew's floating in front of her.

'Who are you? Why are you here? And how did you get here?'

'Relax little one, we aren't here to hurt you. You must be Victoria. Is your Memma here?'

'Why are you looking for Memma? What do want her for?'

'Victoria!' Someone yelled from the small building behind her, causing her to turn. 'Who are you talking to?'

'Hello Vi!' Mew yelled back. 'Nice to see you again!'

'Mew?' Vi shouted. A few seconds later, a Victini floated out and over to them. 'It's good to see you again! Is this Ash?' She said, flying over to them, and beckoning for Victoria to follow.

'Hi.' Ash said shyly. 'It's nice to meet you.'

'Hello Ash.' Victoria said. 'It's nice to meet you too.' Meanwhile, Mew was talking to Vi.

'I could tell you where coming, but I didn't expect you so soon.'

'Sorry about that. We had a little race.'

'Did you get our present?' Victoria asked Ash.

'Yeah. Thanks for that by the way. They're really cool.'

'Memma said you would like them.' Victoria replied, blushing slightly. 'Have you visited anyone else yet?'

'No, you guys were first. I don't know where we're visiting, mom just springs it on me when we go.'

'Wow.' She said, almost wishfully. 'I haven't gone anywhere with Memma yet. I think it might be because Memma can't transform into a human shape, and I'm a little young I guess.'

'Really? How old are you?'

'I'm six.' She replied. Mew and Vi were having their own conversation further off.

'How've you been Vi?'

'Fine. We actually had a boat come here a few days ago, and they were looking for me. They apparently heard a rumor that I was around here, even though we haven't had visitors for a year. We played a couple of pranks on them.'

'I wish I could've seen that. Did Victoria join in?'

'Yeah, she helped me sent up a few of the pranks.'

'Well, that definitely would have been fun to see. How do you think they knew?'

'I wouldn't have a clue.' Vi shook her head. 'I wish I did, then I could make sure it doesn't happen again.' Vi floated over to the ocean, and Mew followed. They looked out across the sea, watching as a cruise ship floated along in the distance, no doubt heading for one of the far away regions.

'I might be able to cloak the island like I did with Faraway island.' Mew said. 'I don't know how well it'll work, but I can try if you want.'

'No.' Vi shook her head sadly. 'That'd be worse. How do you think people would react if an island that's always been there disappeared randomly at some points in the day?'

'Good point.' Mew nodded.

'Hey Victoria, do you want to go and fly around a little?' Ash asked suddenly.

'I don't know if Memma would let me.' She said quietly. 'After all, we had some strange people come here the other day, and I can't make myself invisible yet.'

'I'll go with you. I should be able to cloak us both, or use something to scare them off.'

'Memma?' Victoria said, flying over to her parent. 'Can me and Ash go fly around for a bit?'

'Of course dear.' She smiled warmly. 'Don't go too far though.'

'Ok!' She cried, flying back to Ash. 'Do you want to go anywhere special?'

'I was just thinking of flying for a bit.' He replied. 'It would be nice to go to Castelia and explore, but we can't go super far away.' He sighed, and flew into the air. 'Come on, let's explore the ocean.'

'But I can't go down there!' She squeaked. 'I'm a fire type!' Ash dove down, creating a Psychic bubble around himself.

'Come on Victoria, I'll keep a bubble around you.' She dropped next to Ash with some resignation, and he used Psychic to stop her touching the water. 'See? No problems.' She let herself drop into the water too, and they started swimming down.

'This is weird!' She giggled. 'I've never been able to swim down here before!'

'Neither have I.' Ash smiled at how happy his new friend was. 'I was human until a few days ago, and my mom taught me how to do this yesterday.'

'Maybe I'll get Memma to show me how to do this too, then we can play with the ocean Pokemon and I can make more new friends.' Victoria said cheerfully. They swam in the water for a little while longer, not going too far away from the island. Ash noticed a group of Basculin swimming away quickly, as though worried by something. He floated over to them.

'Hey, what's wrong?' The leader of the group made a bowing motion to Ash.

'Child of Mew, you must leave. It is too dangerous for you here. It seems to be going to Liberty Island, though no humans go there.' Ash frowned; he didn't think that Pokemon would know who he was, though he was in his Pokemon form.

'Why? What's wrong?'

'A boat of humans is coming. I do not want you to be caught by them.' The Basculin looked behind him, and turned back to Ash. 'We also need to go. Goodbye.'

'Thank you for your help!' Ash called to him. He flew back to Victoria. 'Vic, we need to go. Did you hear what they said?'

'Yeah.' She nodded. 'We should go and warn Memma and Miss Mew.' Ash started leading the way back, with Victoria rushing behind to catch up. They broke out of the water and landed next to the parents.

'Mom!' Ash said, out of breath. 'There's a weird boat heading out! It looks to be heading for the island!'

'Right.' Mew looked serious. 'Vi, go and take Victoria into the building. Ash, feel like messing with them?'

'Ok!' He grinned. Vi took Victoria into the building, and the door creaked as she closed it with Psychic. 'What will we do Mom?'

'Let's go invisible first, then we can get rid of them.' They flew up and vanished, flying towards the boat to listen to the people on there.

"So why are we going to this little island in the middle of nowhere?"

"Because, you numbnut," The captain sighed. "There's rumoured to be a Victini and shiny Victini on here. That'll really please the King."

'A King? They have a King in this region?' Ash asked his mother, confused. 'I thought the Pokemon League Champion was the leader in the region.'

'They are.' Mew replied steadily. 'The regions don't have kings, and this one is no exception. I think they're talking about a group. After all, look at their uniforms.' Ash stared at them, and realised his mother was right.

'Well, it's clear they're after Vi and Victoria, so how will we get rid of them?' He asked, eager to pull a prank on these people who were coming after his new friends.

'Follow me.' Ash saw Mew splash lightly into the water, and followed. They headed to a cave a little in front of the boat. 'Transform into a Gyarados. I'll do the same and levitate a rock in front of the boat and make them think they hit a Gyarados nest. Then we can start using Flamethrower and scare them away.'

'That's a little harsh, isn't it?'

'I suppose so, but they're our friends. And as Guardians of the Earth, we need to make sure that they aren't caught.' Ash looked quite worried, but nodded and used Transform to turn into a Gyarados, and his mother did the same. She glowed pink as she used Psychic to lift a heavy rock in front of the boat, and it rammed into it. Mew dropped the rock to the floor as people started shouting on the boat. She winked at her child and roared loudly, and Ash followed her example. She shot to the surface and roared again at the boat, and Ash started using Flamethrower at the boat.

"Turn this ship around! We need to get out of here!" Ash heard the captain of the boat shout. It slowly turned around as the two disguised Pokemon, or hybrid for Ash, attacked their ship. After it turned, Mew used Surf to push it far away from the island, and Ash used a Blizzard attack to hurry their departure. They dove slightly below the water and watched as they sailed away, heading back towards Castelia City. They transformed back to their Mew forms and flew back to the island.

'Vi! Victoria! It's safe, come on out!' Ash shouted when they landed. The huge door in front of the room creaked open slowly, and the little red ears of Victoria poked out, followed by the larger creme form of Vi as they hovered over to the Mew's. Victoria gave Ash a hug.

'Thank you for helping us.' She said shyly.

'It's no problem.' Ash smiled back. Mew grinned at Vi, and she nudged Ash.

'Come on dear, we should go. We've still got to visit Sarah today.'

'Thank you for visiting.' Vi told them. 'Maybe I'll take Victoria out and see if we can meet you on your journey when it starts.'

'Yeah!' Victoria cried. 'I wanna do that! Can I start a journey Memma?'

'You need to be ten to start a journey, and you still need to learn how to interact with humans properly.' Vi said. 'When you are, then yes.' Mew and Ash flew into the air.

'Do you mind if we teleport from here?' Mew asked. 'I'd rather not fly.'

'Of course.' Vi replied. 'Tell Sarah I said hi.' Mew nodded, and teleported with Ash to Sinnoh.

AN: Ok, long chapter. But you got over the cliffhanger and met one of Mew's friends.

K: I like Victoria. Her personality is… strange, though.

P: Have you met some of Shadow's characters? This is a fairly normal one to start this.

T: Back again, by the way.

SV: I'm sure they noticed. Trix, don't prank my co writers please. Especially Ki. That's my job.

K: And not with a Gengar again. That was rude.

SV: No, that was Trixie.

P: We'll see you all next time!
