A/N: Italic Pokemon speech

Route 6

Ash growled as he found himself in a heated battle."Growlithe use Ember end this!"

An orange and black puppy, opened its mouth, and let loose a number of tongues of fire, that was heading towards a small purple rat.

The boy Ash was battling quickly countered."Rattata dodge, then use Bite!"

The small little rat dodge the fire and ran towards the puppy with its teeth bared.

Ash grinned. the trainer had fallen for his trap."Growlithe wait to the last minute then use Fire spin on yourself!"

Growlithe waited to the last minute, it saw Rattata's teeth ready to bite. Growlithe raised its head and fired up a flame. Which began to swirl around himself, burning Rattata's badly.

The fire died down and Growlithe was glowing orange, it looked at the Rattata laying on the floor with swirls in its eyes.

The trainer was gob smacked "But how? You had Growlithe use Fire spin on itself, yet he took no damaged how is that possible?

Ash bent down getting a tongue licking from Growlithe when he looked up and answered the boys question.

"My Growlithe has the ability flash fire, any fire move that hits him increase his power, so when I used Fire spin on him, he powered up without taking damage.

The trainer was surprised "Wow, I never thought of that, you're a great trainer Ash, I hope we can battle again sometime."

Ash brushed the back of his neck surprised at the praise he was recieving. "Cheers I hope we meet again." Ash was about to say more when he heard a voice shout

"Ash dinner up."

Ash walked back with Growlithe at his heels, with Pikachu and Riolu on his shoulder. He had just got to the clearing as Brock was dishing up. Ash turned around and saw it was just him and Brock

"Hey Brock where's Misty?"

Brock looked around confused, he looked at Ash "I thought she was with you? Watching your battle, by the way how did it go?"

Ash grinned and stroked each of his Pokemon, Riolu curled up under a tree and Growlithe jumped into Ash lap nuzzling him affectionately, Pikachu just rubbed his cheeks to Ash's.

"It was good, thanks. I won using Growlithe ability flash fire. The trainers Rattata attempted using bite, so I had Growlithe use fire spin on itself, so flash fire would activate. Plus Growlithe timed it just right so the Rattata got caught in the fire vortex."

Brock was impressed. "Wow using a Pokemon's ability to help it win its battle, not to mention knowing that the attack would not effect it as flash fire would activate. Very advanced stuff Ash, like I said at the gym, you are using strategies, and knowledge, why past your years as a Pokemon trainer."

Ash smiled to Brock eating his stew and feeding Pokemon food to all his Pokemon "Well I wasn't exactly clueless, living in a town with the famous professor Oaks. You pick up a few things. When I was younger me and Gary use to help take care of some of the Pokemon at the lab. We learnt all about abilities, weaknesses and types."

Brock scratched his chin "I guess that makes sense, you and Gary both used strategy against me, you too will go far if you keep doing what you are doing."

Ash took Dexter out of his bag and checked what other moves Growlithe could learn, he was about to scan Growlithe when Brock spoke up "Hey Ash are you planning to evolve Growlithe? The reason i asked was because you will need a fire stone for it."

Ash shook his head "No not yet. I want him to learn some of his speed attacks, which he can only learn in his pre-evolved form. Once we have mastered all the attacks I need, then I will offer him the chance to evolve."

The boy continued to talk with each other when the heard a familiar female voice "Hey guys, what's up?"

Both Brock and Ash looked up "Hey Misty, where did you go? You have been gone a good two hours."

Misty put her hands up to her hair and ringed her hair out. "I found a nice little pond a quarter mile away. Saw some really cool water Pokemon, except I didn't have any balls"

Ash eyes opened "Water Pokemon cool, Guys watch Riolu and Growlithe. I am taking Pikachu to catch some."

Before Brock and Misty could say something Ash had sprinted off towards the small pond with Pikachu hot on his heels.

Small Pond area

Ash and Pikachu arrived at the small lake and saw a number of different Pokemon swimming. He pulled out a rod he had bought in Pewter city and baited it with some Pokemon food. He then casted his rod out into the lake.

Mean while close to the lake

Mew: Now where is that boy? I tracked Daddy signature to around here, but can't see him. Wait what's that?

Mew decided to go invisible and floated through the hedge and saw the boy she had been looking for.

Mew: There's Daddy chosen one, now to make him aware of my presence, I know he wants to catch Pokemon, with a rod, I will let him catch a Pokemon with a rod me hehehe.

Mew dived into the water and swam to the lure at the end of the rod. She used her little hand to tug the line. Mew giggled to herself.

Mew: Daddy chosen one will be so surprised when he finds out he's caught me.

Mean while with our hero

Ash felt the tug on his line, he pulled the rod and was shocked to see a little pink feline spinning from the lure. Ash was so shocked he took out and pointed his Pokedex at the little pink Pokemon

"Mew: Mew can learn any move and is considered by the world to be a legendary Pokemon. Not much data available as this Pokemon is hardly ever seen."

Ash was speechless he was faced with a legendary and it was hanging on the end of his line smiling and blinking. Ash was sure he could hear a small voice in his head speaking to him.

"Congratulation Ash you caught me. Actually my daddy sent me. He has taken great interest in you and wants me to join you on your journey. You should be honoured my Daddy as made you his chosen one. I will not be the only legendary you meet or catch on your journey. Now can you please throw a ball at me so I can be caught."

Ash removed a ball from his belt and threw it. "Okay but after, you and me are going to have a talk. Poke ball go."

The ball hit Mew on the head "Ouch that hurt meany." Mew was then sucked into the ball, it shook for a few seconds then dinged to show the capture had been success. Ash Made his way towards the ball when it was engulfed by a light. Ash shielded his eye until the light had died down. Some how the ball had turned pink. Ash picked it up then threw it up in the air releasing Mew

"Wee that was fun, so now I have been caught your my daddy, and has a gift I am going to allow you to be able to talk to all Pokemon. Now daddy I have flown a long way all the way from Sinnoh and need a hug and some food."

Mew floated over to Ash and curled up in one of his arms. She yawned the let out sigh before saying "Night daddy."

Ash was speechless, he held on to Mew while looking down at Pikachu "Well buddy I suppose you can't tell me about all this chosen stuff, and why Mew calls me daddy."

Pikachu looked at Ash with a confused look "Sorry boss, no idea, but I wouldn't use her in battle. You might attract some unwanted attention. Now how are you going to explain this to Brock and Misty, oh by the way expect some more of that daddy stuff as I know Squirtle, Riolu and Growlithe call you daddy. Now you can understand us expect it some more."

Ash shook his head and cradled Mew while he sat down with Pikachu, they both sat there silently wondering what else their journey had install for them.

A/N: Ash as finally caught his first legendary. Expect Mew attitude to be like a little pampered princess. She won't be battling till the league. Review welcome as always. Any request for Pokemon to catch leave them in review. I have already decided on Ash catching two Eevees.
