Chapter 3 - The Mysterious 'Glitch' Pokemon
"It's been so long since I last saw you." Mitsuko's father, who's name was Kimura Hotaka, said, still smiling warmly, "We have a lot to catch up on. But not here, and not now. I have something important to tell you, and not much time to do so."
She frowned, "What's the hu-"
"Never mind that, I can't waste a second." He interrupted her question, "Now, Mitsuko-chan, I want you to listen carefully to everything I tell you, because I might not get another chance to tell you. Don't ask why. Anyway, the reason I left you and your mother was to pursue the rarest pokemon in Kanto. First I travelled to Cinnabar, where there had been sightings reported of strange Pokemon. I spent a while there, but my constant searching was fruitless. I then travelled to the place where it was rumoured a young trainer had captured a Mew which had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. And finally, I came here, to search for Mewtwo. I got jumped by Team Rocket who were also searching for him, but I escaped them and ended up here. I've been here for weeks, but I fear that they may come back. Now, this is the most important part. The strange Pokemon sighted are named Missingno, as that's what they're named on the Pokedex, and there have been four different kinds spotted, and only one frequently. The first uncommon one looks like a ghost like those in Lavender Town before you use a Silph Scope to reveal them as Pokemon. The second looks like a Kabutops fossil from Pewter Museum. The third looks like the skeleton of an Aerodactyl. And the fourth and most frequent one looks the most bizarre of them all. It looks like a jumbled up mess of computer pixels from what the witness reports have said. Mitsuko-chan, these pokemon aren't meant to exist, and Mew wasn't supposed to appear there either. They're what have been dubbed as Glitch Pokemon. I'm getting old, and I've spent too much time away from your mother and you. It's about time I retired. So it's your responsibility. Please, Mitsuko-chan, do what I couldn't. Find the rarest pokemon, find Mewtwo and the glitch pokemon, find the Glitch Mew, and make your father proud."
"If you'll let me speak now," Mitsuko said, smiling back, "There's nothing to worry about. I defeated Team Rocket just a few days ago, they'll be too busy re-organizing and training their pokemon to bother anyone, I've already captured Mewtwo, he's really quite nice now that he's learnt how to be, and that young trainer witnessed capturing the Glitch Mew...that was me. I'm as mystified about how that happened as everyone else is. But anyway, it's better if we get back home as soon as possible. After all, you've let o-ka-san wait too long for you."

As soon as Mitsuko had let her mother and father have some time to themselves to catch up and such, she withdrew her Mew from her PC (She kept Mewtwo with her, so that he wouldn't grow resentful again) to show her father. She'd always been slightly freaked out by her Mew. She'd always somehow felt that it wasn't normal, that it was unnatural, but she still kept it on her sometimes so that it didn't hate her. She still hadn't sent it out into battle before, she was too afraid of what might happen.
"Daifu, I have a surprise for you." She smiled as her father came down the stairs.
"What is it, Mitsuko-chan?" Hotaka said, smiling back.
"I have Mew and Mewtwo with me." she grinned, tossing the pokeball in the air casually while still remembering to press the button in the middle first. A small light burst out of it, and Mewtwo was standing infront of Mitsuko and her father, smiling.
"Pleased to meet you, Kimura-san." Mewtwo said, "Mitsuko-chan has told me all about you."
"This-this is amazing." he grinned, "So the legends were true, he really can talk."
"He learnt when he was little." She smiled.
"So, now, show me Mew." Hotaka said, still smiling.
Mitsuko hesitated, her smile fading. Was it a good idea to let a glitch out of its pokeball?
