I have nothing interesting to say. So on with the chapter.

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 woke up suddenly, my dream ending. It was still dark. I checked my watch, it was 1:00 in the morning. I looked over to the bed beside me where Mew had been as I fell asleep. The little, pink Pokémon wasn't there.

I shook my head, a thought passing through it, 'Was my dream real?'

I got out of bed, "Mew? Are you there?" I whispered. The lack of an answer told me she wasn't there, unless she had turned invisible in her sleep.

I sighed and climbed back into bed, deciding I would deal with whatever was going on in the morning, when I wasn't so tired.

Just then the only source of light in the room, the window, cast a shadow of a little, two legged creature with a tail climbing in.

"Mew?" I whispered.

The shadow stopped moving, "Yes?"

"Where were you?"

"I went to tell Arceus about travelling with you," she replied, continuing to climb in the window and shut it behind her. She then walked back over to the bed beside mine.

"Can you hear my thoughts from there?" I asked, curious.

"No," she said, "I need to be near you to do that, and use telepathy. About five feet is the maximum distance I've mastered. Walls and doors are hard to hear through too. Though other legendaries can use their mind links over much more impressive distances, and nothing can stand between their mind and the mind they're reading."

"And can you see my dreams?" my curiosity got the better of me.

"No," Mew replied, "The subconscious controls that. I can only hear and see the conscious. Again, some legendaries can hear and see the subconscious as well."

I nodded, "Interesting."

"You sound tired," Mew commented.

"Yes, I am."

"Then sleep," Mew chuckled.

I did as she suggested, falling back to sleep quickly and sleeping the rest of the night.

It was about 5:30 in the morning when my watch alarm woke me up. It was then I decided I needed to think without Mew being able to hear me, to sort out thoughts about my dream last night. I thought, and the only place I could come up with to go that was about five feet away from Mew was the shower. There would also be a wall between Mew and I, which would make it a safer place to think.

While I showered that morning I thought about the dream. Mew had actually gone to talk to Arceus, like she had in my dream. Either my mind was projecting what I figured Mew should do into my dream, which was fairly likely. They met in the same place that I had seen the other legendary Pokémon meet Arceus in. This could have been my subconscious filling in the detail of a setting, making it a dream. The place also could be a meeting place for Pokémon of different regions, a neutral spot.

My mind shifted from the setting to what was being said. Arceus had mentioned Team Rocket possibly killing me, probably to get rid of a possible threat. I figured they'd assume I was powerful since Mew chose me to be her trainer. So if they found out and had the ability to kill me, I knew they would.

The thought of all of these things brought into question whether the first dream I had was real or not. It was a bit hard to believe that it was a coincidence that the legendaries were told to protect something, like in my dream. And there was the question of Mew's voice. I hadn't really thought about it before, but her voice was the same in reality as in my dream.

I decided to assume the first dream was real, though the reoccurrences of them were just the lingering of my subconscious, but the dream I had last night was still a mystery. To figure it out I knew I'd have to ask Mew about it. I didn't want Mew to know about my dreams though, it was something I would rather keep to myself, especially if what I was seeing actually happened.

Once I had finished getting ready to leave to continue to the Rock Tunnel I walked back into the bedroom that Mew and I had slept in. Mew was sitting on one of the beds, waiting patiently.

"Mew, what did Arceus say to you about travelling with me?" I asked. I purposely stayed on the other side of the room from her, hoping that I was out of her telepathy range, though I tried to keep my thoughts under control, in case she could still hear my thoughts.

"She wasn't too happy," Mew confessed, "She said that it was dangerous. If someone found out I was with you it would draw attention to you. This could be bad, because Team Rocket could go after you, and call for help from one of the other teams out there in the other regions to get you killed. Then I would have to deal with the consequences of killing a human, since it would be my fault. And that's the simplest thing that could happen."

I nodded, this was all in my dream, "That's only the simplest?" I asked, the acting classes I had taken in my own world helping. I disguised my prior knowledge of this with surprise, with a touch of fear, "What else could happen?"

"I'm not allowed to tell you," Mew said, "Too much knowledge can hurt a person, especially when facing danger. You already know too much, that the legendaries are guarding something, that Team Rocket can kill Arceus through destroying what us legendaries are guarding, and now that there are other teams, worse than Team Rocket starting to form in other regions."

I sighed, "And what about these 'consequences for killing a human'?"

Mew shuddered, like she had in my dream when Arceus mentioned them, "The last legendaries that killed a human, though it was accidental, don't exist anymore."

My eyes opened wider, "Are you serious?"

Mew nodded sadly.

"Is there anything else you can tell me?" I asked, hearing and feeling the panic in my voice.

Mew's expression changed from grim to almost cheeky, "She told me not to do anything stupid."

"You? Do something stupid?" my mood changing with hers, eager to move on from the scary topic, "Never."

She and I laughed, but a few things lingered in my mind. Everything that I had seen in my dream had been confirmed, Arceus' warning to not be stupid, Mew's predicament, and my possible murder.
