From: Laeophie <laeophie@aol.comikaze> Subject: [PW!][NC] Part 4: Now we're in the dregs... Date: Sunday, April 18, 1999 10:57 AM Ditto sighed and began to transform. Everyone's eyes widened. "Muh... Mew!" said Neo in awe. The small cat curled into a ball, her shyness taking over. Chris smiled. He took out a cage from his backpack and forced Mew into it. Chris turned to Derrick and Neo. "I'll have to check if it's really Mew. If not, we have the next best thing: A Ditto that knows how to transform into Mew. Thanks for the help." "Uh..." Derrick seemed uneasy. "We weren't helping YOU actually. And Professor Oak never asked anyone to catch Mew." Chris sighed. "And I thought we wouldn't have to settle this violently, but you had to question me. Deal with them." "Huh?" Neo was grabbed from behind, along with Derrick. A pair of Rockets cuffed them. "Chris!?" The Rockets pushed them into a corner and attacked them. Derrick and Neo fell down, prompting the Rockets to kick them. Soon, they lost consciousness. The Rockets dragged their limp bodies into the darkness. "You have succeeded?" asked another Rocket. "Yes. Here it is, James, Mew in the flesh. When will I be paid?" "As soon as you leave Mt. Moon. We'll credit you with the discovery." Wind hurled the Pokéball into the air. A Butterfree materialized. Mewtwo laughed. This is a joke. Mewtwo swiped at Butterfree at inhuman speed, causing a minor sonic boom. The Butterfree was hit, and spun around in the air. It fell to the ground. Wind returned it to her Pokéball and reached for another. No, there won't be any of that. Mewtwo concentrated another Psybeam attack as Wind closed her eyes. She sadly accepted her fate. All of a sudden, Mewtwo shook and stopped the attack. They have her. Their fate is sealed. They won't leave with her. Mewtwo teleported out of the area. Simon's eyes lifted open. He looked to the right to see David and Sirius, unconscious, chained to the cave wall. He tried to move his leg, but it was locked in place. Dreadite was watching them, smiling. "I see you're awake, Simon," he said smugly. "Now, you can see your friends die just like before." He pulled out a gun and loaded it. "Any last words? And no, don't hope for anyone else to barge in and save you. Derrick and Neo have been dealt with." "Parassssssssect!" Everyone turned to the entrance of the room. Derrick's Parasect hissed and released spores. Cassidy and Butch fell asleep immediately, while Dreadite was unaffected. He walked to Simon and lifted the gun to his head. "No, it's too late for you, Simon." Just as Dreadite pulled the trigger, Parasect pounced on him and dug its claws into his back. Dreadite arked his back in pain, firing the gun just above Simon's head. Derrick's Victreebel appeared, and grabbed the keys off of Butch's belt. While Dreadite's wound was healing, Victreebel unlocked the three trainers. Sirius had just came to, but David was still out cold. "Run! We have to get out of here!" warned Simon. Sirius hesitantly glanced at David, then began to run. Dreadite, his wound healed, fired three shots at the fleeing trainers and two Pokémon. They disappeared from sight. "Damn. Oh, well." He looked at David. "He will make an excellent Rocket." Dreadite lifted David's limp body and began to leave the cave. After being beaten into the ground, Derrick and Neo were left to die in a desolate area in the cave. After a few hours, they both regained consciousness. They were still too injured to move, however. "We have to contact Sirius and the others," said Derrick. Neo shook his head. "The Rockets took everything. Our Pokémon, our food, even our radio." "No, they didn't take everything. Before they took our Pokémon, they left to speak to Giovanni. I released Victreebel and Parasect. I told them to look for the others." "Well, my Pokémon are lost... They have Mew! We have to stop them!" Neo tried to limp out of the room, but fell down in pain. "Well, maybe Mew's ability to transform will help her." Chris and James were on their way out of Mt. Moon. James carried Mew's cage in his arms. Mew was curled up into a ball. Chris stopped walking. "I just remembered something," he said. James was annoyed. "What?" "Mewtwo. Mew's insane clone." "What are you worried about? We locked it up in the dungeon." "Mewtwo has tremendous power. It could easily escape if it felt the need to." "It hasn't attacked us so far. Why would it now?" "We have its parent now. Mewtwo may feel some kind of obligation to protect her." Chris grimly turned towards the exit. "We have to get out of here now." Chris began to run, but was stopped cold. Mewtwo materialized in front of him. Your inferior race has no right to own her. Die, human. Chris's mind felt like it was ripping in two. He kneeled down and closed his eyes. Mewtwo kicked him in the face, hurling him to the wall. His neck cracked on impact. Chris's face became unrecognizable. James started off in the other direction, when Mew reached out her hand and grabbed his collar. She punched him in the face, making him drop the cage. She transformed into a Snorlax, smashing the cage and freeing herself. Returning to her original form, she waved her index finger left and right. James was washed out by a blast of water. Mew shyly ran back to her hiding place, with Mewtwo following. Jimmy Vu See my Pokémon FAQ at http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gameboy/faq/pokemon_m.txt Or, just go to www.gamefaqs.com
