*Camera turns on, Mew's face was on it, smiling.*

Mew: Hello, dear readers… I'm starting this up while the other two are… *turns around for a second* … occupied. Well… I'm sure you're curious as to what happened to Key2DestNE after that last AN, right?

*turns the camera to a sleeping fox. Mew brings the camera closer to her stomach, and a lot of shouting and sloshing can be heard inside.*

Key2DestNE: HEEEEEY! GET ME OUTTA HERE! THIS ISN'T FUNNY, FOX! SERIOUSLY, MY PHONE IS A HUNK OF METAL NOW THANKS TO YOU! I DON'T WANNA END UP THE SAME WAY!

Mew: Aww, it sounds poor little Key is having some trouble getting out… I wonder if he's indigestible, or maybe DarkFoxKit here is just holding back? Hmmm… Should I go in and see how he's doing? *smirks evilly at the camera*

*The little legendary floated closer to DarkFoxKit's face and made herself smaller, like the size of a dwarf hamster. Mew then floated near her mouth and showed the readers the fox's mouth*

Mew: Aww, this is so cute- she's like a little puppy~ *Then she giggled.* And she must be pretty hungry- let's give her a treat~ *She began to fly into the mouth, before landing on the tongue.* This is kinda fuuuun~ *She giggled as she rolled towards the back of the fox's throat.*

DarkFoxKit: Zzzzz….. *cough! cough! cough!* Ack! *sticks out tongue, waking up* What the heck? Did a bug just fly in my mouth!?

*Meanwhile, the coughing caused the fox to accidentally swallow Mew and the camera, and Mew was clearly enjoying herself, cheering like a maniac and sliding down the esophagus.*

Mew: WEEEEEE! YAHOOOOOO! *She continued to cheer, doing a small spin while sliding.* This is AWESOME! Why didn't Key enjoy this too? I'm sure HIS muse would!

DarkFoxKit: *was sticking out her tongue her tongue before sighing* Maybe it flew away. *yawns before laying on her back and falling back asleep.*

*Mew landed with a SPLASH!*: Whew, looks like I made it! *holds up the camera, looking around* Key~ Keeeeey~

Key2DestNE: *his voice echoing all around* GO AWAY MEW! I'm not interested in what you have to sell!

Mew: Aww…. Well, I'll be back once I find our upset widdle author~ *she giggled* For now, enjoy the story~!

Chapter 5: Shadows and Secrets

Ash and Blue had to take a break in the small town, knowing they had to go after Jessie, James and Meowth, but they couldn't find them anywhere, no matter how hard they looked.

Blue sighed, shaking his head. "Those three can be fast when they feel like it, can't they…? I wonder what they eat, that kind of speed is unnatural, even on a two-person bike!"

"Those three are very… persistent, almost scarily so, that's all I can say. I mean seriously, Storm and my other Pokemon beat them many times in the past yet they're still okay and can come back for more, they're like cockroaches and impossible to get rid of!" Ash groaned, remembering all too well his battles with those three.

"They're not so bad… I had fun zapping the crap out of them." Storm smirked. "Besides, they're never too badly shocked, clearly, so I can probably put in a LOT of volts until they go down!"

Blue raised an eyebrow at the boy. "...So you have your own little trio of Team Rocket trying to take your Pokemon… heh… I know that feeling." He smirked, shaking his head in nostalgia.

"Wait… what?" Ash blinked at him. "Why would Team Rocket go after you? And… three of them went after you?"

Blue shook his head, sighing. "No, no… it was two of them. As for why… well, I kept on slipping away, and if I have someone like my Eevee on my team, wouldn't you think they'd chase me for a while?"

"I guess that's true… they are known for wanting to steal rare and valuable Pokemon." Ash sighed, nodding in understanding. "Which is why we have to find them, and fast! Ugh… I wish I had a Growlithe… Brock had one… but he's gone right now…"

Blue raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "...Well, I suppose we could use mine if you have something with their scent on it."

Ash blinked before his face went red, and he slowly nodded. "Oh… right… I kinda forgot you had one…" Blue chuckled at that, the boy going through his bag. "Uh… let's see if I can find something."

Storm then held out a piece of cream fur, smirking. "Hey… I managed to get a lock of Meowth's fur… would this do?"

Ash blinked in surprise, raising an eyebrow. "What? When'd you get that, Storm? And why'd you never say this before?" The Pikachu shrugged, smirking.

"I think he was shedding, because he left a few pieces on the Cycling Road." Storm shrugged. "As for why? Well… I like to mess with you sometimes." He gave Ash a smug grin, handing the boy the fur.

Ash grumbled, holding it up. "Well, don't do that next time, Storm- sometimes we need this sort of thing!"

Blue chuckled at the boy's arguing with the Pikachu before releasing his Growlithe, pointing at Meowth's shed fur. "Growlithe, sniff out that fur and see if you can find the source."

"Right away!" Growlithe barked and began sniffing the fur in Ash's hand and then began sniffing around trying to find it. "This way!" It began running towards the open road.

Blue raised an eyebrow, climbing back onto his bike as he called back to Ash and Storm. "C'mon you two, hurry up before we lose the trail!"

"We're coming!" They followed quickly, climbing on. The two boys rode their bikes, wanting to keep up with the Growlithe.

They were soon riding through a nice open field; there weren't many trees, mostly just grass. The Growlithe kept going until he stopped by a shack. "They're in there." He pointed right at the shack with his paw.

Dark clouds began to fill the sky, Storm looked up, his cheeks sparking feeling the lightning in the clouds coming closer.

Blue nodded, smiling as he returned Growlithe quickly. "Thanks, now return!" He glanced at Ash. "C'mon, let's hurry inside… I don't want to be caught in the rain again."

"Alright, let's go." Ash and Blue cycled to the shack.

"I guess we'll have to leave these bikes out here." Ash sighed.

"Not necessarily… you see these buttons here?" Blue pointed at a small button on the bike's front. "It's design to make it capsule size so we can put it in our pockets or something until we need it again."

Ash blinked, surprised. "..Wait, really?" He blushed in embarrassment. "Is... it that way for a lot of items too big to carry? I never really knew how Brock fit all the pots and pans along with the tent…"

Blue nodded, shrugging. "For some, mostly for traveling people, but not all of them." He pushed the button and the bike shrank down to a toy size. "Pretty cool, huh?"

Ash nodded, pressing the button on his bike. "Yeah, VERY… I could really have used that information before, that's really useful."

Blue smirked, putting the bike in his bag. "Be glad I'm around, then, since I've traveled so much."

Ash put the shrunken bike into his backpack… he heard his Memma still snoring softly and he chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.

Storm looked at the shack, shuddering. "This place looks run down and old… are you sure we should go in there? What if there are more ghosts like at Lavender Town?"

Ash sighed. "Well… we're going to have to risk it, Storm. Besides, not every place that's run down and old automatically means that ghosts reside there!" He opened the door.

"Hello?" Ash called, no answer. "..." He was about to call again, but felt a hand wrap around his mouth.

"Shh! We don't want to alert Team Rocket we're here!" Blue hissed at him.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see if anyone was in here." Ash sighed, pushing Blue's hand off his mouth.

Blue shrugged. "Well… don't try it again, we'll be in deep trouble if they ambush us."

Storm's ears perked, looking around. "Hey, I hear something."

The boys quickly turned, looking for anything suspicious, then Ash saw… another Pikachu? "Huh? Hey… I didn't know there were Pikachu here."

Blue blinked, surprised. "... I don't think there are… look at that Pikachu's face." He pointed, and Ash blanched, seeing how it was all derpy-looking, with lines for eyes. "Looks more like something using an illusion or Transform but failing."

Ash knew he'd seen that face on a Pokemon before… but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. What was it again? Ugh, it's going to drive me crazy! D…. something…

Storm kept looking at it, tilting his head. "... Hey, what are you?"

"Hey, what are you?" the 'Pikachu' repeated like a Chatot, tilting it's head.

Storm growled, glaring. "H-hey, I asked you first!"

"H-hey, I asked you first!" Again, the 'Pikachu' repeated what Storm had said, growling.

Ash kept thinking where he had seen this face, before he snapped his finger, smiling in recognition. "Ah! I get it! It knows Transform and it has that face, it's gotta be a Ditto!"

Blue examined the 'Pikachu', before nodding. "Yeah, makes the most sense. But I do wonder why it can't copy the face like it should… That would make it easy to win a fight against a wild Ditto if you knew which Pokemon was yours so you didn't accidentally give it the fighting backup."

"Maybe this one is a newborn, a lot of newborn Dittos have to practice transformations before actually doing them… then again it's pretty hard to breed Dittos." Ash groaned; he never actually seen a real Ditto, only seen them in pictures or TV, for some reason his Memma was a bit… touchy with Ditto.

To his surprise, though, he heard Mew's snoring instantly come to a stop. "..." "Ashy, are you talking about Ditto?" Ash blinked, startled.

"Uh yeah, I think this Pikachu that's mimicking Storm is a Ditto… a young one I'm guessing." Ash mentally said back to her.

Mew hadn't answered back, which made Ash worried. "... Memma? Something wrong?"

"Ditto… and I have a rather… complex history, Ash." Mew didn't say 'Ashy' which meant she was all serious business.

Ash frowned in confusion. "...Well, what do you mean, Memma? I mean, sure, you and Ditto are both pink, and you both can use Transform… but that's it, isn't it?"

Mew didn't answer back for a while, worrying Ash more. "Hey Ash, snap out of it already!" Blue snapped and brought the boy's attention.

"Wah? What is it?" Ash asked startled. "W-what?" He glanced at Blue, raising an eyebrow.

"Look over there." Blue pointed at someone. Ash jumped to see it was a person dressed up exactly like himself!

"H-hey! Why are you dressed up like me?" Ash demanded. "Who are you?"

"Tell me who you are." the person said… in HIS voice!

Ash frowned angrily. "HEY! I asked you first! Why are you dressed like me? And how do you sound like me?"

"Why are YOU dressed up like ME?" The person with his voice spoke, sounding angry too.

Ash decided to just say it, "My name is Ash Ketchum! Now tell me who you are!"

"Duplica… from the House of Imitate." the person said and suddenly the voice changed to a girl. The person lifted their head to show it was indeed a girl. She grinned, winking. "Welcome to my home!"

Blue had to hold in his laughter, settling for a smirk. "You did a really nice job imitating Ash here. And I'm going to take a guess and say that's your Ditto, right?" He raised an eyebrow, pointing at the derpy-faced Pikachu.

Duplica nodded, sighing. "Yeah… Ditto still can't seem to get the faces right for some reason, but he's still really good at everything else…"

Blue nodded, frowning in thought. "I think I remember coming here a few months back… you had a comedy show about Pokemon imitating, right? It was a success, what happened?"

Duplica sighed, nodding sadly. "That's right… and when I caught Ditto here, I was hoping to really expand on my act. But… well, when he was to copy a Pokemon, the face stayed the same; first was a Machoke, then the Voltorb…"

Ash imagined a Machoke and a Voltorb with a Ditto's face, and he had to grab his mouth to keep himself from laughing at that.

The Ditto Pikachu glowed as it turn into its pink blob form. "I don't know how to change my face…" it said sadly. "And I've been practicing to make Miss Duplica proud… but it just isn't working…"

The mimic girl sighed, shrugging. "This caused a lot of problems among the audience, and I had to close it down so I'd keep the place. But I refuse to give up! I know I can reopen someday, once I can get Ditto's face to actually change…"

Ash sighed, shrugging helplessly. "I wish I could help… but I don't know much about Ditto…" Memma wouldn't tell me much about them.

Blue looked at the Ditto, thinking. "Well… Ditto changes its own cells and structure to match the Pokemon they see, but they can't see their own face, so it's naturally the hardest part for them to change. Maybe it's too stiff and needs to rearrange it with it's own hands… uh… when it gets hands."

Duplica blinked, surprised. "Huh? ….Well, I never thought of that… Maybe we can try it out?" Then she got an idea. "Ah! Why don't I battle with one of you? Maybe it will help out with the face problem, I'm training to be the best Ditto Trainer after all!"

Ash groaned. A Ditto Trainer? That sounds boring… I'd rather be able to train all sorts of Pokemon rather than just one, but hey, everyone has their own taste.

Blue then pointed at Ash. "Battle him, I'm not a Trainer." He shrugged. "You'd get a better fight out of this guy than me."

Ash glared, frowning. "Hey, you need to train your three Pokemon! What if those Biker Gang guys didn't let you go? You would've been creamed out there!"

Blue shrugged. "Well, that isn't an issue, now is it? C'mon Ash, you fight Duplica already."

Storm just grumbled, glaring. "Just fight her so we can move on! Aren't we supposed to find Team Rocket!?"

Ash's eyes widened as he remembered, blinking. "Oh yeah… alright fine, I'll battle you Duplica." Memma's been really quiet… is she asleep again?

"...No, I'm not asleep… I just… don't want to talk about it." Mew mentally said quietly.

Ash wished his Memma would just tell him… she always told him what was wrong but this isn't one of them. He then shook his head. "A-alright, um… I'm ready!"

"So choose your Pokemon, Ash." Duplica said with a smirk. "Any way, I'll be ready for you!"

"I choose…" He then grabbed a Cherish Ball. "Scorch, go!" He released the shiny Charmander, and Duplica blinked in awe.

"Whoaaaa… You've got a shiny Charmander?" She whistled lowly. "That's impressive, to say the least… hopefully Ditto can match it! Alright Ditto, do your stuff!"

"Transform!" Ditto glowed and changed into a Charmander… with the derpy face. It matched the golden colors, but the face… Scorch glared, feeling rather insulted by this display, before it messed around with the Charmander face, transforming it into the real one. "...Did it work?"

Ash smiled, "Hey wow… that DID work!"

Scorch crossed her arms, huffing as she turned away. "Hmph, I still say I look better than that. But fine, you're a Charmander now, big whoop. Let's fight, already!"

"Alright Scorch, start out with Slash!" Ash commanded.

The golden Charmander charged at the Ditto-transformed-Charmander with her claws.

"Use Mega Kick!" Duplica ordered. The Ditto quickly kicked at the true Charmander, sending her flying back. "Alright!" She cheered, grinning as she turned her voice back into Ash's.

"Not bad, for a copy. Alright Scorch, you ready? Use Ember around your body!" Ash commanded.

The real shiny Charmander began spinning around, her tail flame releasing a lot of fire and surrounding herself, like cloaking herself with fire armor.

Duplica raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Well well well, not bad for a copy! Alright, use Rage!"

Ash frowned… Scorch doesn't use Rage, and as far as he knew the Ditto can only use the moves the Pokemon they're currently copying can use. To his surprise, though, the Ditto did seem to grow angry, and slashed at the Charmander! "H-huh? How'd you do that?"

Duplica grinned, tossing her head back. "I've been training Ditto to use any move the Pokemon it copies CAN know at it's experience!"

"... Wow, that's… really good. Scorch, now use Ember Slash!" Ash commanded, a combination with Ember cloaking her and using Slash to do it.

Duplica frowned. "Use Smokescreen and dodge the attack!"

"Don't think so!" Ash said and smirked as Scorch managed to slash and leave a gash burn mark at the Ditto's stomach. "The Ember Slash keeps Scorch's eyes focused and can seek bio heat, like a heat seeking missile, so it never misses, like Aerial Ace."

Duplica blanched in surprise, before frowning. "Alright, fine! Use Smokescreen again, and Transform into an unwounded Charmander!"

"Scorch, don't give them time, use Ember Slash again!" Ash quickly said.

Scorch went through the smoke quickly and Ember Slashed at the Ditto again and again.

Duplica winced. "U-use Slash, force the Charmander away, quickly!"

It was a battle between the Slashes now, Scorch and Ditto were slashing each other face to face… but eventually Scorch began to overpower the Ditto Charmander and pushed him back.

Ash frowned, though… with each attack, the Ditto Charmander was getting more and more angry. Duplica noticed as well, and grinned. "Rage, catch her off-guard!"

Ditto's fiery tail was huge! She charged at Scorch. Ash knew he had to do something quick, and he quickly shouted, "Smokescreen!"

Scorch shot out black smoke at the Ditto, hoping to dodge the incoming Rage.

"A failed clone…" Ash was caught off-guard by the voice in his head, and thus, missed the Ditto rushing through the smokescreen and smashing into the shiny Charmander. "First it was just one… then there were hundreds of them… they wouldn't stop… until they got the perfect clone."

"Memma, please tell me later… I'm kinda in a middle of a battle here." Ash thought to her, before he sensed something was… off.

Blue seemed to have felt it too, and he frowned, looking around. "... Something's not right here…"

Duplica blinked, raising an eyebrow as she dropped her Ash impression. "Huh? What is it, is something wrong?"

Storm suddenly jumped in alarm, his ears twitching. "There's an unnatural darkness in the air! It's almost suffocating!"

"Ugh… yes… I can feel it too… it's like it's crushing me!" Scorch said weakly.

Even Ditto felt unnerved, looking around. "Where… where is it coming from?"

"Oh, I see you've followed us all the way here." Ash heard Jessie's voice.

"But you're too late, we've already got what we came for." James' voice said smugly.

"Team Rocket! Show yourselves!" Ash demanded, whirling around.

The voices laughed mockingly, before with a flash of light, Jessie and James appeared on the stage of the theater, with Meowth and a second Pokemon with them. "Well, you asked, and we obeyed!" Meowth grinned. "And now, it's finally being completed."

"What is being completed!?" Blue demanded.

"Our first project, and the first step towards creating the ultimate Pokemon." Jessie answered, grinning.

"Do you even know what it's for?" Ash snapped.

Meowth frowned, shrugging. "... Not really, just that it was to make the strongest weapon Pokemon in the world. But I'm sure it'll be incredible!"

Storm growled, his cheeks sparking angrily. "You know, I thought you jerks were ALRIGHT, but now I see you're as evil as the rest!"

James glared, his fist clenching. "We're not evil! We're just trying to make the world a better place!"

This caught Ash's attention, and he frowned. "... What?"

Jessie nodded, smirking. "You heard him! We're making a better, happier world! And twerps like you always stop us!"

"But you're stealing people's Pokemon, you're KILLING Pokemon off, you're hurting and kidnapping others for your own selfish goals, HOW is that making it a better place!?" Ash yelled in anger.

Meowth sighed. "Well… sure, our methods aren't the best, but we're not doing that ourselves! And besides, it'll be better in the long run, you'll see!"

They suddenly pushed a button and the big headed Meowth balloon dropped down, allowing the trio to get into the basket and escape.

"Stop! You're not getting again!" Ash yelled as he pulled out Gale's Poke Ball. "Stop them Gale!" He released the Pidgeotto, who flew at them. "Use Quick Attack!"

Meowth smirked. "Well, why don't we test out the new test subject? It IS a Flying type, after all!"

"But the Boss said not to use it… saying we're not high enough on the rankings to control it." James protested.

Meowth sighed. "Well, how else are we supposed to get it to the Boss? This kid's Pidgeotto is going to stop us if we don't use it!"

"Well let's see what it's like at least!" Jessie took out a Poke Ball, but it seemed to have a dark tint to it. "Go!" She released the Pokemon, revealing a strange purple bat-like Pokemon, none that was ever seen in the Kanto region.

Wait… is that… a Noibat? But how? They're supposed to be in the Kalos region, not in Kanto! Blue thought to himself confused.

The Noibat was flapping… but it's face was blank, the eyes completely black. Ash, Blue, and the Team Rocket members stared at them, disturbed.

"What attacks does it know?" Jessie asked.

Meowth pulled up a device, "This should tell us… it only knows two moves; Shadow Blitz and Shadow Mist… I've never heard of these moves before…"

"What… what kind of Pokemon is that?" Ash asked, never seeing a Kalos Pokemon before since Mew hadn't yet taken him on the 'grand tour' of the Kalos region.

"That's a Noibat… they're supposed to be only found in the Kalos region… apparently some of them might've migrated over here." Blue said. "But it looks… very off."

Storm hissed, his ears flattening in fear. "I-I feel it… the crushing darkness… it's radiating off of that Noibat!"

Ash blinked in shock. "W-what!? No way… That's nuts!" He looked at the Noibat in shock, gulping. "B-Blue… is there such a thing as a Pokemon that literally radiates crushing darkness?"

Blue frowned, nodding. "Yeah, some… but not a Noibat… this isn't natural... and they don't normally have black eyes, either- something's seriously wrong here."

Duplica frowned as well. "...Maybe we can knock it out of the sky with a cannon?"

Scorch looked at her, shocked. "A cannon!? Are you nuts!? Ugh… if only I was a Charizard I could fly up there and help Gale out…"

"What are you?" Gale demanded, flapping in front of the strange Noibat.

The Noibat didn't answer, instead it just stared blankly at the Pidgeotto, no emotion whatsoever. Blue frowned in thought, before his eyes widened. "W-wait… it's… radiating darkness… it's eyes are black..! And it knows Shadow moves! C-could it be..?"

"What? What's wrong? Do you know something Blue?" Ask asked the boy beside him.

"Attack that Pidgeotto! Use Shadow Blitz!" Jessie shouted. But the Noibat didn't do anything, it just flapped there, staring at Gale. "...C'mon, stupid thing, attack!" The Noibat continued to stare, before dark mist started to float in. "W-what the!?"

"Ash! Get your Pidgeotto out of there, NOW!" Blue said frantically. "This isn't a normal Pokemon, you have to get him out!"

"A-alright!" Ash knew it must be bad if the normally cool and calm Blue was panicking about it. "Gale return!" He quickly returned the Pidgeotto into his Poke Ball.

Scorch and Storm looked up worriedly as Duplica looked at her Ditto, frowning in worry. "Transform, now!"

Ditto nodded and turned itself into a cannon. Scorch blinked, looking down at the cannon in shock. "W-wait, WHAT THE!? You… you weren't kidding, were you!?"

"Wait, Duplica what are you planning to do?" Ash asked.

The three members were looking at the Noibat as it turned on them, hissing sinisterly. Meowth felt a crushing darkness.

"What is this? … That's not a normal Pokemon guys!" Meowth said quickly. "Return it back! I don't think it's happy to see us!"

James nodded, grabbing the Poke Ball from Jessie. "R-return!" He quickly managed to return the Noibat, right before it could attack, and he sighed in relief.

Duplica grinned, suddenly dressed up like a pirate. "Argh, time to send these scurvy landlubbers off the plank!"

Ash looked at her before smiling, glancing down at the two of his Pokemon. "Hey Storm, Scorch, I think the cannon still needs some ammunition! Care to make some?"

Storm nodded, smirking. "I'm ready to be fired! If I can survive a Mew cannonball, this should be cake!" He jumped into the Ditto-cannon, curling up into a ball.

Scorch frowned, crossing her arms. "Hey! I am NOT going into the sky without wings!"

Ash shrugged, smirking. "Alriiiight, but that means you can't blast Team Rocket away~"

"..." Scorch eventually sighed, hopping in as well. "Move over, Storm!"

"Ready… aim… FIRE!" Duplica shouted and Ditto fired the two Pokemon. Both of them were going right at the Meowth balloon. Thankfully they landed on the balloon so it was a soft landing.

"Hey! Get down from there!" Meowth shouted at them, then he turned to the two humans. "You've got other Pokemon use them!"

James frowned. "Yeah, but what if the balloon pops!? We'll be blasted off again!"

"They'll pop it anyway if we don't do anything! We have to stop them!" Meowth snapped. "HURRY UP AND SEND OUT YOUR POKEMON!"

Ash smirked, shaking his head. "We're not popping the balloon from anywhere but the top! STORM, SCORCH, MAKE THE BALLOON GO TOWARDS THE GROUND!"

"Got it, Ash!" Scorch called back. The lizard Pokemon climbed up the balloon and smirked, Storm quickly coming up behind her. "Let's do this." She used her sharp claws to pinch a hole, Storm used his sharp tail to make a hole, causing the balloon to lose air and began going down.

Jessie gulped, glancing down. "...O-okay, uh… We've gotta run as soon as we reach the ground!"

"Oh no you don't, you three are staying right here!" Storm smirked, his cheeks sparking, as he dropped back into the basket.

Scorch and Storm were guarding the three like guard Growlithes, keeping them from running off as soon as the basket hit the ground. Ash, Blue, even Duplica and Ditto, walked up to them.

James smiled nervously at the four of them, trying to slowly sneak out of the basket. "U-uh… Hey there, Ash… Who are your new friends?"

Ash crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes. "We've got some questions for you."

"Ditto, I think it's time to tie them up, wouldn't you say?" Duplica smiled and winked.

Ditto nodded and transformed into rope and tying up the trio. "Nice work, Ditto." Ash smiled.

Storm and Scorch were watching the three like a Pidgeot to make sure they don't pull something and get away.

Meowth gulped, trembling. "P-please, just… Let us get this Pokemon to the boss! He told us that he wanted it on the double, we're in the Growlithe house if we lose it!"

Ash shook his head, frowning. "That Pokemon you used was obviously not normal, you're going to tell us everything or you'll be in jail instead of a Growlithe house."

Jessie scoffed, rolling her eyes. "What makes you think we'll talk!? We're not telling you anything!"

Ash smirked as he turned to Scorch and Storm, shrugging. "Well, I think we'll have our ways of making you talk… It doesn't have to be physical torture either… have you ever heard of… Mew Games before?"

Meowth's irises shrunk into pinpricks, and he started to sweat bullets while Jessie and James started laughing. "Y-you're going to make us play a video game?"

Ash just gave them an innocent smile, tilting his head. "Yeah, sure, a 'video game'. How about it? You tell us what you know and we'll let you go without playing the 'video game'."

Meowth quickly whispered into their ears. "G-guys… We oughta tell them what we know! I… Mew Games are serious business, but they're only legend as far as I know…"

"Oh don't be such a scaredy cat, Meowth, we can handle any stupid game this kid throws at us." Jessie snapped at him. "We'll play your little game and you must let us go without telling you twerps a thing."

Ash smirked, nodding in understanding as Meowth gulped. "I was hoping you'd say that." "Memma, you have anything special in mind for them?"

"Ooooh, yes, I've been dying to try out a new Mew Game!" Mew mentally said back with eagerness.

Ash grinned at them mischievously. "Well, have at it then!" He waved at them with a laugh. "Have fuuuun~"

Before Jessie or James could ask what he meant, the three of them were suddenly sent spiraling like being sucked into a tornado! They suddenly found themselves on… what appears to be a deserted island?

"What the- What is this!?" James yelled, having not expecting this at all.

Meowth slapped them both with his claws, growling. "WE'RE IN A MEW GAME, YOU IDIOTS! WHY'D YOU DO THAT!?"

"What's wrong!? He said video game!" Jessie snapped at him.

"He put quotation marks around video game, meaning it's not what it really is you moron! A Mew Game is a game created by Mew herself! I've never played in one before now, but I've heard a lot of stories about it from the streets, it's not pretty!" Meowth quickly said, starting to pace in frantic worry. "Oh no, oh no… What're we gonna do!?"

James gulped, looking around nervously. "W-wait… so we're in a dimension created by Mew? Who could put… anything inside it?"

Meowth nodded, taking a breath to calm down. "That's exactly right."

Jessie grabbed Meowth, "You better tell us what you know about this and tell us now!"

Meowth quickly put up his paws, yelping. "Okay, okay! From what I've heard during my early days… Someone once mentioned that Legendary Pokemon get bored of living millenia for so long, so they decided to create certain games but with different names, but they're all the same thing; a bored Legendary who wants to play with their victims. I've heard that… there are some who would turn a perfectly nice summer day into a raging blizzard that's literally raining PoisonPowder! And that's only the tip of the iceberg!"

As he spoke, Jessie and James paled more and more, looking around nervously, and even glancing down at their feet to check they were safe. "A-and we're in one right now!?" James yelled worriedly.

Ash himself walked up to them, surprising the three of them. "If you want to give up before the pain, just say 'you will talk' and the game will be over."

Jessie gulped, before shaking her head. "I… N-no way! We will never talk, you brat!"

The boy just rolled his eyes, shrugging. "Okay, but I have to warn you; Mew is pretty hyper today." He smirked. "Enjoy your Mew Game." With that, he walked into the shadows and disappeared back into his dimension.

"Are you sure this will work?" Blue asked. "You don't have a real Mew with you, are you sure your illusion trick will work?"

Ash was holding another 'device' in his hand, which he explained it shows illusions that can replicate a Mew Game. "I'm sure, just give them an hour, tops." He chuckled, shrugging. "They'll crack pretty easily!"

"If you say so." Blue crossed his arms, frowning. "We've gotta get to the next Gym for you, after all."

"There's no hurry, the Gym isn't going anywhere." Ash smirked.

Mew: *has Key in a pink bubble* So, why don't you tell the viewers how you're not digested yet?

Key2DestNE: *turns away angrily* Go away, you pink menace! I'd rather be forced into a MILLION Mew Games before telling you ANYTHING you can use against me so obviously!

Mew: *smiles brightly* Ooooh, thanks for telling the viewers, and the recorded camera, that! *Key freezes* I'll be sure to do that soon~ Now then… Is it because you're using something to protect yourself or is DarkFoxKit herself holding back on digesting you?

Key2DestNE: I-I… u-uuuuuuuuh… *gulps* ….F-fine, fine, I'm using my author powers to make sure I'm not digested! J-just- JUST DON'T KILL ME WITH THOSE MILLION MEW GAMES!

Mew: I don't KILL in my Mew Games… just physically and mentally torture them. Oh, but you know, if you're not digested… how are you going to get out of here? Perhaps you might need to talk to DarkFoxKit to get her to let you out, hmm?

Key2DestNE: I'd rather climb out her throat! *hisses angrily, almost sounding like a cat*

Mew: Too bad, you're already talking to her and she heard what you saaaaid~

Key2DestNE: *freezes* O.O W-what!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, MEW!? *the stomach began to churn* W-what's going on!?

*Meanwhile, DarkFoxKit blinked open her eyes.*: Hmmm? I thought I heard Key… *stands up, stretching* Heeey, Mew… when is he going to come back? We need to work on more chapters soon… Mew? *looks around* … Where is everybody?

Key2DestNE: O.O ….Not. A. Word. Mew. *Mew smirked and began singing* NOOOOOOOO!

DarkFoxKit: …. Key? *rubs stomach* What the fudge? I thought you teleported out days ago and was just too angry to talk to me! *turns a bit green* I-is that Mew, too!?

Key2DestNE: …..Maybe? *He sounded very nervous* I-I, uuuuuuuh…. It turns out your stomach's like an anti-teleporter, I… can't get out.

DarkFoxKit: … Y-you…. you've been inside me for DAYS!? How are you not dead!? AND MEW! WHY ARE YOU IN THERE!? GET OUT!

Mew: But it's fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun! *continues to sing, loudly and off-key*

Key2DestNE: I-I've been using my author powers! *The stomach began to churn some more.* W-wait, are… are you gonna hurl!?

DarkFoxKit: I… I'm TRYING to, so I can get you BOTH OUT! This was just supposed to be for a second or two to get back at you! I didn't want you to STAY in there for WEEKS! Why didn't you talk to me BEFORE so I could've gotten you out earlier!?

Key2DestNE: …..Well, uuuuh… I-I didn't want to tell you! I mean, how embarrassing would it be!? Seriously, should I have just said, "Oh, Fox, I'm still just inside you- so can you throw up and get me out?"

DarkFoxKit: IT WOULD'VE HELPED, YES! Now everyone thinks I have a vore fetish!

Key2DestNE: ….Uuuuuh, but you DO, don't y-

DarkFoxKit: SHUT UP BEFORE I LEAVE YOU IN THERE!

Key2DestNE: A-alright, alright, I'm officially shutting up now! ...Oh, by the way, you owe me a new phone.

Mew: Just go get some ipecac! It'll help you throw up~ *giggles, before singing The Sound of Music in a low pitch*

*DarkFoxKit had no idea what that is, but not wanting to risk taking some medicine she's never heard of, she gagged herself with her paws and shut the door to the bathroom.*: … Did it work?

Key2DestNE: … *stomach still churning* I have NO idea, Fox! But- *the stomach started moving around like a guy on a trampoline!* WHOA! WHAT THE HECK!?

*Censored for the younger readers*

*On the couch, with a fan blowing on DarkFoxKit's fur…*: … I'm sorry… I'll never eat anyone again… *still looking sick*

Mew: Good- because we're gonna make you eat people in EVERY OTHER STORY~!

DarkFoxKit: *whimpers*

Key2DestNE: …. *pats DarkFoxKit's side sympathetically* Welp, looks like you'll be in trouble, Fox- best of wishes!

DarkFoxKit: GET ME OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE! Oh, and please review the story, that would be much appreciated. WWWHHHHYYYYY!? *begins running around in a panic and knocks over the camera…. Static time- always so much fun!*
