Pokemon Journeys Season 3: Mew's Pokemon Johto Journey

Episode 40: Fowl Play!

Mew and her friend continue to travel to Goldenrod City, and soon make their way through the thick dark forests where their next adventure begins.

Suddenly Pikachu spots something.

"You see something out there, Pikachu?" Mew asks.

Misty soon spots something, "Hey, guys, look at that."

The group looks in the tree to see a birdhouse.

"I bet that's where flying Pokémon go to roost," Misty says.

"Yeah. I wonder what kind," Mew replies

"It's hard to say for sure just by looking. It may be too big for a small Pidgeotto, and too small for a big Pidgey, but... on the other hand, maybe the reverse could be true," Brock says.

Soon, a large bird lands in front of the birdhouse. It's an avian Pokémon that resembles an owl. It has light brown plumage with a darker brown pattern of triangles on its chest. Its fan-like tail is the same dark brown, while its wings are a slightly lighter shade of brown with light brown undersides. It has red eyes with black rings around them and a second, cream-colored ring around the first. Above its eyes are bushy, cream-colored feather "horns" that resemble large eyebrows. Its small beak and talons are pinkish, and its feet are cream-colored with three toes facing forward and one backward.

"Hey! There's one now!" Tomo says.

Brock says, "Quiet. Let's go hide. If it sees us, it might get scared away."

Everyone agrees and heads to a place to hide behind a bush.

Mew brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says, "Noctowl, the Owl Pokémon. A Normal and Flying Type. The evolved form of Hoot-Hoot, this highly intelligent Pokemon often twists its head 180 degrees when it is thinking. Noctowl is a nocturnal Pokémon."

Brock scratches his chin, "Hey guys, nocturnal means it moves around at night, but here it is out in the afternoon."

"I wonder why?" Jen replies.

"Maybe because this forest is so dark, the Noctowl thinks it's night-time even though it's day," Misty suggess

"Good point," Mew says.

"Yeah, you're probably right," Brock says.

The Noctowl starts to investigate the roost. Suddenly, someone sends it off with a tree branch, "Shoo, scat, vamoose! You're not the Noctowl that I want! Now beat it!"

Soon, the Noctowl flies away.

"Did that Noctowl just get chased away by a tree branch?" Tomo asks.

"That's what it looked like to me," Misty says.

"Eevee Vee," (No kidding!) Eevee says.

Suddenly, Brock notices something, "Hey! Look there!"

Soon, another Noctowl lands, but this one is a different color, gold with red wings and tail feathers, and black triangles on the stomach.

"This Noctowl's a different color than the last one!" Brock says.

Suddenly, someone says, "Ah, there you are, my colorful little Noctowl. I've been waiting for you." and whoever it is, holds a branch full of berries on it, "Easy, now. Doesn't this food look yummy? That's right, just take a little..."

However, the Noctowl attacks and knocks the branch off the stranger's hand before ramming its head into the tree making the stranger fall. The stranger soon catches himself, only for Noctowl to start pecking his fingers.

The man cries out, "Wait! Cut it out! That hurts! Don't do that, Noctowl! Don't!"

And the strange falls to the ground below. The man is wearing a purple, and yellow shirt, with glasses, and gray jeans. He has brown hair. He is dizzy and bruised from the fall. Mew and the others soon arrive.
