Meanwhile, Speedy was searching high and low, trying to find the unusual Mew he saw earlier. He searched everywhere around Post Town, at all of the various shops, behind the inn and even at the large hill near the town, but to no avail.
"Man! Where'd he go? He couldn't have gotten far!"
He went back to the center of the town to have another look but he still didn't find the Mew.
"Hmm... He might of left town already. I better look in the places outside Post Town."
With that, Speedy headed southeast, out of Post Town. He traveled down a straight-forward road until he reached a crossroad, branching out into three more paths.
"Okay. Which way did that Mew go?" Speedy thought to himself.
While he was pondering on which path to take, a blue, bipedal amphibious Pokemon was approaching from the path that was straight in front of him, humming to himself. It had a broad round head, tiny black eyes and a wide mouth. His name was Quagsire, the Water Fish Pokemon. Speedy recognized him when as he approached and decided to go ask him if saw the Mew.
"Yo Quagsire! What's up man?" Speedy called.
"Hmm? Oh hello Speedy!" Quagsire replied, stopping in front of Speedy, "I was just, mmm, on my way to the inn, hmm? How can I help you, hmm?
"You wouldn't have seen a small, black, flying Pokemon pass by here?" Speedy asked.
"Now that you, mmm, mention it... I saw a Pokemon just like that, hmm, flying high in the sky a few minutes ago, hmm? He was heading towards, mmm, Ragged Mountain.
"Thanks bro! I'll head over there now. Peace out!" Speedy said before dashing to the path to his right, leaving behind a green blur.
Quagsire watched as the supersonic Snivy heads his ways towards the mountain.
"Mmm, he's always on the move, hmm?" Quagsire said as he headed for Post Town.

In a flat out minute, Speedy reaches Ragged Mountain, a high, open mountainside covered with grass, loose rocks and a waterfall. The mountain had several caves in it and bridge in the center of the area, only it was destroyed by a rock slide so no one can cross it. Speedy looked around and, to his luck, found the ebony Mew he encountered earlier, meditating above the waterfall, near a small bridge next to one of the mountain's caves. Speedy approached the waterfall and tried to call out to the Mew.
"Yo! Hey buddy, can you hear me?" Speedy said.
The Mew twitched it's ears and opened its crimson red eyes at Speedy.
"Hmm? Oh, hello," The Mew greeted, before flying towards Speedy, "Did you call me?"
"Yeah bro. Do ya have a minute?" Speedy asked.
The Mew eyes Speedy for a moment.
"Hold on, have I seen you somewhere before?" The Mew wondered.
"I guess. I was in the inn when ol Gurdurr when crowding you up." Speedy confirmed.
"Oh, you saw that?" The Mew glumly said as he turned away with his ears drooped, "I guess you think I'm an outlaw too and you want to arrest me or something."
"No bro. In fact, I'm opposite to that fool. I just want to talk to you." Speedy assured.
The Mew perked his ears back up and turned back to Speedy.
"So you don't think I'm an outlaw?" The Mew asked.
"Nope. I don't judge by looks. That's not how the Speedster rolls." Speedy replied as he crossed his arms.
The Mew eyes gleamed as he put on a wide smile. It appeared as under all of the judging the went on in Swanna's inn, there was a light that shone over a true friend, merged within the crowd.
"Wow! A non-judgmental person! Thanks mister! You just made my day!" The Mew exclaimed happily.
"No problem bro!" Speedy replied with a wink.
"Who are you anyway?" The Mew inquired.
"The name's Speedy. Speedy the Snivy." Speedy introduced, "And you are?"
"Oh, my name is M.E.W. M.E.W. the Mew." The Mew announced.
"Nice to meet ya bro!" Speedy said with a grin.
Later, the two sit near the waterfall and have a conversation.
"So what are ya doin' in Post Town M.E.W.?" Speedy asked.
"I was called on by an old friend to look after his home while he was away on an adventure." M.E.W. explained.
"Oh really? How long have you been here?"
"I just got here actually. I was about to head over there but then I got hungry. I had some extra money on me so I went over to that inn and... well, you know the rest..." M.E.W. said the last part sadly.
"Yeah. Sorry you had to go through that bro. We don't get that many visitors in Post Town and I guess any Pokemon with an unusual color could make them all suspicious."
"Really? But aren't you and usual colored Pokemon too? I thought all Snivys were bright green."
"That's because I'm a shiny Snivy. I heard shiny Mews were light blue so you're not exactly a shiny."
"Well, I didn't choose to be an ebony Mew. I was born this way. My father said I was a special, one of kind breed of Mew, but it really doesn't feel like it. It feels like a curse."
Speedy got closer to M.E.W. and placed his arm on his shoulder.
"Hey, don't worry about it bro. Haters are going to hate but behind all of that black fur, I see a really cool dude."
"Thanks Speedy. You're a real pal!"
"Besides you think you're the only freak of nature here? Watch this."
Speedy got and showed off his abnormally fast speed by running back in forth, across the bridge, and then in a circle, leaving behind a green blur. He stopped in front of M.E.W., who now had his eyes widened in shock.
"Whoa! I knew Snivy's were fast but not this fast!"
"Yeah. I'm the only Snivy with this kind of speed, that's why my name's Speedy."
"But how did you get this fast?"
"Well, ya know when a Snivy absorbs sunlight in his tail, they get faster right? I kinda soaked a few hours too many of sunlight when I was a baby. I became super fast ever since."
"I guess we have something in common then. We're both unusual Pokemon."
"Yeah."
Just then, then the two heard a cry for help coming from one of the nearby caves.
"Huh?! What was that?!" M.E.W. said.
"I heard it too. Sounds like a dude's in trouble!" Speedy said as he rose to alert.
"Well, I'm going to go help!" M.E.W. proclaimed as got up and started flying into one of the mountain's caves.
"Right behind you bro!" Speedy followed behind in close pursuit.
