And now the plot is finally getting somewhere. Yes, we actually managed to include a plot!
Anyway, comments are wanted.
Do I really need to add anything else? Hmm, you should know by now that you really need to read Anomaly and Hoenn Chronicles. I already done my lazy chapter overview. The Episode is right there. I think that is everything.
Episode 155: Vacation
As me and Eve watched Mew being chased by our Treecko friend, I spotted that he'd dropped his chocolate on the floor. So, naturally, he wasn't going to eat it and I couldn't just let it go to waste.
"Why are you going to eat that?" Eve asked, watching me as I dusted the worst of the dirt off.
"Where I used to live, you ate whenever you had the chance. You couldn't tell when you were going to find more food, so you'd do anything to get some. Hell, if it was surrounded by Beedrill then you'd go for it. Well, I would. They are flammable after all."
Eve shuddered at the name Beedrill, so I guessed that she had had a few run ins with the deadly fliers. But I didn't really care. I ate the chocolate bar and turned back to see Mew trip over his own tail. It looked accidental, which meant that Fervo was about to dive on the feline. Of course, Mew wasn't stupid and that same tail knocked the Treecko to the side. I couldn't help but wince as Mew got up and managed to pin Fervo down just with the long pink tail.
"Remind me to not piss him off," I thought.
"I will," Eve replied, making me curse under my breath. Damn telepathy.
---
"Now, are you going to calm down or am I going to have to shut you down with force?" Mew asked, using his tail to force Fervo's chin up so the Treecko was looking right into his eyes.
"You really don't know what is going on, do you?" Fervo asked all of a sudden.
"Can't know everything. There's no fun in that," Mew countered, slowly moving his tail away from Fervo's throat.
The feline looked up at me and smiled, which made me a little nervous.
"So, Charmander. Where's Mewtwo, I'm guessing he knows about your little visit."
"Oh he knows alright," Fervo muttered as he slowly raised his paw and pointed his palm at the back of Mew's head, "Ab-"
---
He stopped when Mew's tail wrapped around his wrist and slowly started to tighten.
"Did I forget to mention that my mind reading power has kicked in again?" He chuckled, "anyway. Utter one more syllable and your wrist goes snap."
"Let go of me," Fervo managed to gasp out, actually sounding like he was in pain.
"That was four syllables. Damn, you overshot. Well, guess I have no choice."
---
Mew suddenly looked skyward and growled, as he removed his tail from Fervo who proceeded to clutch his wrist and whimper.
"Damn, Miss Happy Happy Joy Joy wants a word with me," Mew muttered.
"I know you don't like me, but you ought to know that I am not exactly cheerful right now," came the reply, but I couldn't tell from where.
"Can't you see that I am busy here? Jirachi!"
"You and I both know that I would not call if it wasn't important," was the reply and a see through image of a strange pokemon appeared before me. It looked star shaped, and had three blue tags attacked to the points on its head. It looked even stupider than Celebi had.
Mew glared at it, with venom. I suddenly remembered that 'Jirachi' was the other higher pokemon along with Celebi. Which was just great, more stuck up bastards.
"Go sort it out yourself. If you can't look after your own cases then that is your problem."
"Mew, please just listen," the apparition begged, getting the psychic to laugh.
"I said the same thing to you once. What was it you said in return? Ah yes. I remember. You said 'go screw yourself'"
---
I stepped closer to the image thing and waved my paw in front of it, getting no reaction. I could actually slide my paw through its head, which was kind of creepy. Of course, I was stopped from continuing by a psychic blast that sent me flying backwards.
"Sorry Flame," Mew muttered as he stepped towards the other Legendary, "I can't let you get involved in whatever Prissy Cow here wants."
"It's Team Rocket. They've reached Hoenn too."
"Great, more bases to blow up. I really hope I am getting overtime for this."
"Can you be serious for once? Mew! They've managed to remove a Human girls' free will. If someone doesn't stop them then they'll have enough test results to put the device they used into mass production. Innocents will be turned into slaves. They've even managed to do it to some Pokémon too, so even we won't be safe."
"If you hadn't noticed, I have my own problems."
"That Human girl is the owner of a Pokémon that is related to one of your cases."
---
Mew froze. I could actually see him trying to process this.
"Which case?" He asked eventually.
"Does it matter?" Jirachi asked, sounding increasingly desperate.
"Yes. I'm not going to interfere with Flame's family matters seeing as that will come down to a fight either way."
"It's the Treecko's."
---
Fervo leapt to his feet and stared at Jirachi right then.
"My cousin! Is he okay?" He asked, getting the star Pokémon to face him.
"If we don't help him: not for long. I cannot help in person yet."
"Fervo is not one of my cases," Mew muttered, "so why should I throw my life on the line?"
"You've got to help, it's my cousin!" Fervo pleaded. He got no where.
"If you've forgotten already, you were trying to kill me. And I'm not exactly in top condition, I don't have the energy to travel across the world."
"I can teleport you over there," Jirachi interrupted.
"Right, here is another problem with your plan. You seem to be relying on me to trust you not to stick me in the middle of a lava field or a black hole."
"Mew!"
"I promised myself that I'd never help you again. Even if the world was about to be destroyed and helping you was the only way to save it."
"This is above your petty fight with me! Forget about your pride for once."
"Come down here and make me."
---
I couldn't be bothered to listen to anymore, I was confused enough already, so I set about plucking boom berries out of their bush and making a pile. Eve was watching me, looking bored too.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Making a pile of boom berries. Just in case I need to blow stuff up. Or I get bored." I dunno why I said both, they are practically the same thing.
"Boom berries? They don't explode. They're for eating."
"Aye, they give my fire breath one hell of a power boost. You should know, seeing as it was these that allowed me to catch you off guard." She winced and glanced at her tail, which seemed to be healing fairly well. Obviously the memory wasn't a particularly fond one. I decided to attempt to distract her, the only way I knew how. With food. Well, that is not entirely accurate because I used a liquid instead.
---
"We still have a milk canister lying open. Might as well take a drink, right?" I asked, heading over to the metal object and pulling myself up to the top. There was a lot of milk. I was wondering how Eve managed to down half of it, let alone Mew.
"Actually, knowing Mew's ability to mess up all of normality. Him being able to down all this wouldn't surprise me," I thought as I poked the creamy substance with my claw. It was still cold, Mew must have only stolen it recently.
"She tried once, but I pulled her out before she reached the three quarter mark," Eve said as she came over.
"I used telepathy again, didn't I?"
"Yep."
"I really need to learn how to turn that off, it could get awkward especially around certain people."
"Like who?" Eve enquired, actually causing my cheek scales to turn a darker shade of orange.
"I don't want to go into it," I replied eventually, trying to keep the names of who I meant well out of my mind.
"Who is Scarlet?"
"I hate telepathy so much," I muttered with my cheek scales turning bright red.
---
Luckily, I was spared the loss of what little dignity I had left by Mew coming over.
"I'm going after all," he sighed, "we'll catch up with your problem after I've gone and beaten the Rocket's up some more."
"It's okay, I think I can stay alive while you are gone," I laughed, hopping down from the milk can, "just try not to overdo it and get caught again. We're not going to be able to bust you out."
"I've been practising, they won't get me off guard again," he replied, "shame really that I hate them more than I do Jirachi. Then I'd be able to ignore her."
---
Mew turned to Eve and I walked over to Fervo, not wanting to intrude. The Treecko was staing up at the clouds.
"I can't believe it. He's still alive," he muttered, "after all these years, I thought he was lost, but he is still alive."
"Your cousin?" I asked.
"He was caught when I was a kit. I remember trying to chase after the Human, but I was too slow. That was in Hoenn. I left the clan afterwards, there was no one there who actually cared about either me or my cousin."
"Well at least you have family that you can actually stand," I sighed, glancing over at Mew and Eve.
---
I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Mewtwo had arrived too.
"Things are getting more confusing by the second," I grumbled, untill I heard something crack and turned around to see Fervo cracking the knuckles on his paw, "what are you do-"
I'm sure you can figure out what happened next. It gave me one hell of a headache, I can tell you that much.
