Today, Mew and her friends have stopped at a beautiful spot to enjoy a brief break from their trip to the Johto League

"Wow! What a view! And the weather is just perfect," Misty says.

"Yeah, and speaking of, this fresh mountain air sure helps you work up an appetite," Brock says.

"Mine doesn't need any help," Tomo says.

"It's a great day to relax on a bright sunny day," Mew says.

"Yeah. It's really nice," Jen says

Just then, Pichu lets out a small sneeze and electricity leaks out of her cheeks.

Misty giggles, "Oh Pichu."

Suddenly, the group hears a strange sound and looks to see something up ahead. A sheep-like Pokémon with fluffy cream-colored wool covering its entire body, as well as a curly tuft of wool in the middle of its head. Its head is blue, and it has black eyes. Its four feet are blue and have two digits on each foot, and it appears to be on tiptoe at all times. Its conical ears and tail have a yellow-and-black striped pattern. It has an orange sphere at the end of its tail, which acts like a small light bulb. This sphere glows brighter the more electricity it has.

It seems to have a pink ribbon and a bell around its neck.

Next to it, is a smaller version of the Pokemon and seems to be shy that it's hiding the other Pokemon

"Oh, what's that?" Misty asks.

"I've never seen one in person before, but I think those are Mareep," Brock says

"It's cute," Jen says.

"Let's se" Mew says, and brings out her Pokedex.

Dexter says, "Mareep, the Wool Pokemon. And Electric Type Mareep store static electricity in their wooly coats. They avoid battles and have mild dispositions."

Misty chuckles, "But Dexter didn't say how cute they are."

"What's a Mareep doing here?" Tomo asks.

"It must belong to someone. I think it has a bell around its neck.

Suddenly, the Mareep with the bell dashes towards the group. The little one follows.

"This Mareep doesn't look too mild to me!" Mew says, shocked.

Before anyone can react, Mareep leaps towards the group, but while everyone moves out of the way, Pikachu and Pichu end up having Mareep on top of them.

"Pikachu!" Mew cries out.

Misty panics, "Pichu!"

Frightened, both Pikachu and Eevee let out their electric attack, but it causes Mareep's fleece to get larger and larger

"It got bigger!" Tomo says, surprised

Everyone is amazed to see it.

"How did that happen?" Tomo asks.

"I see. It used Pikachu and Pichu's electricity to puff up its fleece," Brock says

"Like a hairdryer?" Misty asks.

Suddenly, Jen and Tomo hear baaing and look to see the little Mareep.

"Hello little one," Jen says, and gently pats its fleece, match to its satisfaction. Although, it blushes and looks a bit shy.

Suddenly, everyone hears thundering hooves, and turns to see a WHOLE HERD of Mareep heading towards them. Everyone duck and panic as the crowd of Mareep surround Pikachu and Eevee.
