I'm baaaack! =D

I had a great trip. Saw the bald eagles, and saw the baby try to fly. Also saw a black bear on my grandparent's island. It was the first time we'd seen any sign of a bear on either island since I was a baby. Enough about my trip!

Sorry for leaving it on such a cliff hanger, I didn't plan it that way. Anyway, here's the new chapter. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

I took a deep breath, my Pokéball, which currently contained Mew was sitting on the ground after its third shake. I desperately wanted to hear the satisfying click indicating that I had captured my first legendary.

The light that was being emitted from the button of the Pokéball slowly faded as I heard a "click".

It took a while to sink in. I stood there, staring at the now unmoving Pokéball that lay on the ground only a few feet away from me. Had that really just happened? I shook my head, rubbed my eyes, pinched myself, but still the Pokéball remained, sitting there.

Finally my brain registered the impending thought, 'I just caught Mew...'

"I just caught Mew!" I screamed, finally coming to my senses. I ran over and picked up the Pokéball, which now contained one of the legendaries of Kanto, Mew.

Just to make sure I hadn't just dreamt that it was a Mew I was capturing I threw the Pokéball, releasing the Pokémon from inside of it. Of course, I wasn't dreaming, Mew floated in front of me.

"I..." I started, almost losing the ability to speak, "I can't believe it."

"Why's that?" the Mew answered in a girly kind of voice, startling me enough to make me jump.

"You actually talk?" I asked. As soon as I asked I slapped my forehead, of course Mew talked! If Jirachi could talk, why wouldn't Mew be able to?

"Yes," Mew said, flicking her tail, "Why else would you be able to hear me?"

I couldn't quite find the energy to laugh at my stupidity, "Why did you let me catch you?" I asked, still in disbelief, maybe my capture had been a mistake.

"You've battled Team Rocket a few times now," Mew said, "and seem to have no intention of joining them. Arceus told all of the legendary Pokémon to guard something, something very important to Arceus from Team Rocket. I decided a good way to go about it was to join forces with someone intending to take down this gang. It would certainly help to protect this thing if the threat completely disappeared."

I nodded, it made perfect sense, "Alright then," I said, "But I have no intention of using you on my team," I remarked, "It wouldn't be fair for people fighting against me. Not that I care about fairness when battling Team Rocket, but I also plan on receiving all of the badges."

"Not a problem," Mew responded, not seeming surprised or hurt at all, "I can just do this."

Suddenly Mew vanished from right in front of me. "Uh, you can disappear?" I asked.

"Yes," Mew's voice came from the same spot it had been floating seconds earlier, "Just give your Pokéball to Professor Oak through the PC. You won't be able to use me in battle without the Pokéball, but I can still be out here."

"Send the Pokéball to Professor Oak?" I asked, "Is that how the PC works?" In the Pokémon games you just put your Pokémon in a virtual storage space. It seemed here it worked more like the anime, sending your Pokémon to Professor Oak to be taken care of.

"Have you not used it yet," Mew's voice asked.

"No, I've only caught three Pokémon, including you," I replied sheepishly, "I've had no need for it."

I walked back down to Cerulean City, still in partial shock over what happened. The sliding door of the Pokémon Center slid open and stayed open longer than they had before when I had used it, most likely because of Mew. I made my way over to the computer beside the desk and turned it on. The first thing that appeared on the screen when it had finished turning on was a message, 'Please insert your trainer card.'

I sat, slightly stunned. I didn't remember getting my trainer card. I opened all of the pockets of my bag and rummaged through them. There was a small pocket in the front of bag, which I checked. There was nothing in this pocket besides a rectangle of plastic. I took the rectangle out of the pocket.

At the top of the card, which was blue, was a title, 'Trainer Card'. Beside this there was an ID number, 43181. In the white space below this my full name was displayed, Jennifer *******, beside this was a full body picture of me. On the back there was a black strip, like on a credit card.

I sighed a sigh of relief; my parents knew my forgetfulness and remembered to pack my trainer card for me. I needed to remember to thank them for that as soon as possible.

I inserted the card the way the display showed me to, which caused the computer screen to bring up an "Analyzing" screen. I waited for a couple of seconds until the screen changed to a white one with four options, 'Bill's PC - Pokémon Storage System, Jenn's PC - Item Storage System, Professor Oak's PC - Dex Check, and Log Off.' There was no key pad, so I touched the screen, assuming correctly that it was a touch screen.

The computer made sounds like it was dialling a phone number, then rang a few times before the screen changed to Professor Oak's face with a background of his lab. It was sort of like using webcams to chat, or using Skype.

"Hello Jenn," Professor Oak said, "Please put the Pokéballs of the Pokémon you would like to send here in the slots on the machine."

I looked down at the part of the computer that I assumed had a keyboard and mouse on it. Neither of these things were found there, only five half sphere slots.

I inserted Mew's empty Pokéball. An option appeared at the bottom of the screen, 'Would you like to send these Pokémon?' Beneath this there were two options, yes and no. I pushed the yes option and the Pokéball vanished.

"Ah, here it is," Professor Oak said, looking over to his right, "Only have one to send?" he asked.

I nodded, not trusting myself to verbally lie about not sending a Pokémon.

"Alright, I'll take good care of it," Professor Oak assured me before the screen changed back to the white screen with four options.

This time I touched on the 'Log Off' option on the screen. This not only logged me off, but also automatically turned the machine off. I then exited the Pokémon Center.

"Mew?" I whispered, "Are you still here? Did it work?"

"Of course it did," the voice of Mew replied from beside me, "Do you doubt my plans?"

I let out a chuckle, "No, of course not."

"So where are we off to?" Mew asked me.

"Back to Vermilion," I sighed, not happy about needing to make the long trip back through the Underground Path.
