Chapter 25: The Meeting (Edited)
'What should I say? Should I lie? But I have done nothing bad, why should I lie?....' Axel kept thinking.
For a boy whose head was about to roll, he was doing pretty good.. mentally.
"Why don't you tell me your story of how you came to this world? And no lies", said the creature.
'Dammit! This guy could read minds.. Sigh! I guess I will just tell him the truth', he thought.
Then he went on to explain how he died in a place called the earth and how he was reincarnated in this world. He also told again and again that he didn't do this deliberately, cause apparently, the creature was mad cause he was from another realm.
"Hmm… listening to your story makes me feel that it really is not your fault. And that place called Earth seems like an interesting place. But you are a trespasser from another realm so I actually came thinking to end your life."
The creature stared at him and paused for a couple of seconds. The psychic pressure generated from the creature's purple eyes was suffocating. The gale was rustling very loudly as it just wanted to break from the psychic pressure. This was the movement he knew that his life was on the line.
After some time the creature said, "But since you have done nothing wrong, you can keep your life."
And the psychic pressure stopped as the eyes of the creature changed from purple to blue. Axel finally sighed in relief. He sat properly with his legs crossed and took a deep breath. He never expected his encounter with Mew would be so deadly.
Yes, the Pokemon making all this commotion was Mew.
It was really rare for people to ever meet Mew but those who have met Mew always described it as a friendly and playful Pokemon.
'You call this friendly and playful? And you kiss your mother with that mouth?', he thought, basically blaming the Internet cause that is where he had heard about the Mew's character. Personally meeting people who have met Mew was a dream of some people cause those were very rare.
"Relax mortal, since I have said to leave your pitiful life alone, I will definitely not go back on my word.", said Mew trying to calm Axel cause it seemed like he was having a panic attack before. "Since I have made some trouble for you, you can ask some questions if you have any that is.", said, Mew.
Nidoran, Shedinja and Gogoat were also finally relieved that Mew had calmed down. Though they didn't know who Mew was they could feel that its power was nothing sort of any God that they imagined in their dreams.
After calming down a bit, Axel said, "Since you said so, I want to ask Senior Mew why were you hell-bent on thinking of killing me, just cause I am from another realm?"
'Senior Mew' may sound funny but he didn't know how he should address Mew. Mew is the mother of all Pokemon so he wanted to sound respectful.
"This world is a like closed dimension. The space around this world is totally closed so it is very rare for an alien species to visit this world. I knew of your existence 13 years ago when you were born. But I cannot investigate you or interrogate you, such is the law."
"What kind of this law is this? I haven't heard about those laws you speak of, nor are there any laws written in the library as per my knowledge", asked Axel.
Since he was a child, Axel was a very bookish person and he used to visit the library almost every time. He was very fascinated by the world of Pokemon as the books in the library were more detailed than those of anime and games. But he had never heard of these kinds of laws. Mew said the word 'law' 2 times now and he didn't know which law was Mew speaking of.
"Haha, if the law is not written doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. These are ancient laws made by Arceus and the first Pokemon master as a peace treaty. Every Pokemon that are able to think, follow this law. It is like the law, where you humans could not hurt a Pokemon's egg or when they are a baby up to 3 months old.", said Mew.
"Oh… next question, there are some rumors that I have heard about you, but now that I have met you, you seem to be quite different.", said Axel.
Even in anime, he had seen Mew being very helpful and friendly. Plus he thought Mew was a female being 'the mother of all Pokemons' and all that. But this Mew he was meeting now was completely different. This Mew acted rude and arrogant and his voice was like that of Liam Neeson.
"Oh, you mean the cute little playful girl one, yeah… that is Mew." "Then who are you?" "Me… haha.. I am MEW!!" Mew declared with a loud voice as if it had revealed the true identity of 'Jon Snow' (From game of thrones)
Axel could neither make head nor tail of that sentence.
'So it is not Mew but MEW!!! The hell does that mean?', he thought.
Seeing Axel confused, Mew explained "At first Arceus only created Mew. But Mew did nothing and would only play around, collect valuables and hide it, and played pranks with people. Being a Legendary Pokemon, she had many responsibilities and her responsibilities were only second to Arceus.
But she did nothing and just played around. So, Arceus, Dialga, Palika, and Giratina created me inside Mew. We have one body but 2 souls. I do the hard work and she just enjoys life."
"Then why didn't Arceus just kill her and created only you?" asked Axel being curious.
"Turns out I also lack in some areas and she fulfills that role. Arceus says that she is the bridge between you humans and us Pokemons as she is friendly in nature and she also takes care of Pokemons. But I don't get why that is the big deal anyway.", replied Mew.
Axel then started talking with Mew and cooking food for him and the rest. He wanted to make have a good relationship with MEW as it is MEW. But he also wanted to meet Mew. The She Mew seems to be his type.
"Hmm.. You, humans, have revolutionized the way of food. It tastes so much better than the food I eat.", MEW said.
"Well you could just visit some famous restaurants like B'rewd Awakening if you want or you could come to meet me from time to time.", Axel replied.
"I could not go to restaurants as we legendaries have to maintain some distance with you humans but I could visit you from time to time.", said MEW.
When they were eating, MEW suddenly said "You know you trained your Nidoran in the wrong way right."
"What do you mean?", asked Axel instantly.
"Your Nidoran is already starting to develop Poison core inside its body. It will hinder its potential in the future"
Axel was shocked. Nurse had said the same thing, but she didn't know the cause of that was the poison core. That was the reason why he was heading to meet Dr. Akihabara.
"Is there a way to solve the problem?", asked Axel.
Axel was feeling bad and his heart was full of regret cause he had trained Nidoran in the wrong way. He just wanted to experiment but this had affected Nidoran's future.
"Oh, don't worry about it. Since you gave me food I will fix this problem for you. Pokemon should not develop their cores when they are this young. They first need to refine their muscles, then their bones, and finally their blood vessels. Then only should they start forming their cores.
Obviously, fully evolved and grown Pokemons could form their cores without going through this process and they would not have any side effects but the elemental powers they could release would be far less powerful than those who refine their muscles, bones and blood vessels. And this process could not be found in your so-called library.
It is an ancient way to power but it is a tedious way to do it. It tests Pokemon's willpower and not many could accomplice it. So it had long been forgotten.", said MEW.
MEW's eyes then turned purple and it started at Nidoran. After some time…
---
Ding!
The poison core of Nidoran has been removed by an external force.
---
"I do not need to remove ghost core from Shedinja. It is a fully evolved Pokemon and it is an adult. So it would not be affected.", said MEW.
"Senior Mew, could I ask a book of that ancient way to power ? I really am interested in this refining process" said Axel in a pleading way.
"Yes, you could. These types of books having sitting in my dimension for too long. But if you want your Pokemon to use this process, then you first need its consent cause not many Pokemon could complete it.", said MEW and whosh!! an ancient-looking book appeared out of nowhere in MEW's hand.
It then tossed the book to Axel and said "It is farewell then young human."
Waving its hand and then … poof!!! It disappeared.
