Chapter 2: Mew, the savior

Mew's diary, in which every awesome new day is described, yay!

Darky got in the middle of a very bad fight because I had helped him with getting something to eat, not so yay. But now I'll make it up to him by taking care if his wounds. I know that Arcy has prohibited everyone from being nice to Darky, but I will just do it anyway! Darky might look a little scary, but I look just as scary when Mewtwieme tries to flush me down the toilet again! (Details will follow) That's why I don't think it's nice of Arcy to hurt Darky so much! Anyways, Darky is in my room with me now. Sigh, he looks so cute when he's asleep. He isn't at all as scary as everyone else says he is. He's lying with his hand near his face, as if he is sucking on his thumb. Maybe he is, as I don't know exactly where his mouth is.

Darky looks a bit ill if you ask me, and he's so thin! I guess that's because Arcy doesn't let him eat enough nightmares. He doesn't want Darky to get anywhere near the humans. That's because the humans are often scared of Darky, though I can't understand why. I think they're just a little crazy.

Oh dear, Darky is awake. I'd better make him stay down or his wounds will hurt even more. Groundy and the others have given him quite a beating; I have to hand it to them. It would be a lot better however if they could be nicer to Darky! He can't be blamed for being who he is. Actually, the only one who can be blamed is Arcy. But considering he doesn't do anything about it, I'll just have to try.

Darkrai's POV

"Ow, my head. What happened to me?"

I opened my eyes and took a look at my surroundings. I was in Mew's room. The little pink cat-pokemon hovered over me and made a circle in the air.

"Yaaay, you're awake! How are you feeling? Are you in a lot of pain?"

I tried to reach my hand up to my head but, as a sharp pain went through it, instantly dropped it again. Mew sat down beside me and rubbed my arm carefully with a wet towel.

"Groundy, Mewtwie and the others got you bad, didn't they?" She asked softly. "I'll take care of your wounds and maybe afterwards we could go play in Candyland a while."

I looked down and quickly noticed the ugly wounds on my arms. This was done to me by the other legendary pokemons? Why? What did I ever do to them?

"Come on Darky! You'll be as good as new again before you can say 'candy'!" She made another circle in the air. "Yaaaay candy!"

Again I tried to raise my claw-shaped hands, only this time it was to cover my ears. The sound Mew generated when she was as over-energetic as now was more than a little annoying.

"Mew, just so I know, did Mewtwo allow you to drink coffee again?"

Mew looked up at me, surprised. Last time Mewtwo had allowed her to drink a little of this human beverage he had actually tried to flush her down the toilet because she was driving him crazy. Ever since Arceus had forbid everyone to give Mew any more of the liquid. Of course there are always legendary pokemon who don't care about that and do it anyway, just because they find it funny to see what happens.

"Nope, Arcy hides that from me."

I looked at her skeptically and then she sighed. "Ok, I might have found the hiding place and secretly have taken some from it."

She said as she did a double summersault in the air. I was the one to sigh this time, as I tried to get up from the bed. The thing I wanted most was to just continue with my work, but I was heavily wounded and couldn't even stand up without a sharp pain coursing through me, let alone do my work.
