New Beginnings

Chapter 9: The Mirage Pokemon

I had passed out again after we had reappeared somewhere that looked like a cave. When I awoke I felt like I was all better. I sat up quickly and felt no pain, no blurry vision, nothing.

"I see you're feeling better." Mew came out of nowhere and I flinched a little.

"You're the one that I met last night. Where are we?" I asked confused as I took in the cave around us.

"We're on the Orange Islands. I know it probably doesn't make sense now, but I was sent to make sure you don't die. Katherine, you're very special and I know you're a lot different than most humans. I know why that is, but unfortunately that is not for you to know yet. But for now, you seem to be healthy, so it's time for you to go back to your friends. And remember this, don't stop believing in humanity, not all of them are bad just a select few. Remember the promise you made to the one of the Lunar Wing, then everything will make sense. Goodbye Katherine, until we meet again." I disappeared before I could ask any questions.

I appeared right in front of the Pokemon center I ran away from last night.

Mew...what kind of Pokemon was she? And why was she ordered to watch over me and make sure I didn't die? There's too many questions without answers and the part that bothered me the most was the Lunar Wing part. It felt like the answer to that question was hidden in the back of my mind and I couldn't unlock it for some reason.

I walked inside the Pokemon center and that's when Umbreon jumped on top of me.

"Where did you go?!" She growled.

"Umbreon, please relax, something happened last night and I have no idea what is going on anymore. Please allow me to explain." I sat down with everyone and looked down at my hands.

"Well?" Misty asked impatient.

"I was leaning against the side of the Pokemon center and that's when a phrase came out of my mouth that confused me. I had said I can't trust humans, all they want to do is hurt me, and this race isn't worth saving. I didn't know what it meant and I still don't, but that's when Mew appeared."

"Mew?" Brock asked and that's when Nurse Joy gasped.

"You can't be talking about the Mirage Pokemon are you?" I looked at her confused.

"The Mirage Pokemon?"

"Yes, the Mirage Pokemon Mew, it's said that Mew is the most Legendary Pokemon of them all, no one has ever seen what a Mew looks like, but for some reason on certain days an island appears and it's called Mirage Island. The island disappears after that day passes, Mew is said to live on that island." I looked down. Mew had said that we were on the Orange Islands, but that doesn't mean she didn't lie to protect herself.

"Has anyone ever been on this island?" I asked suddenly.

"Yes, there was one man from Vermillion City. His name was St. Surge." I froze.

"The Gym Leader of the Vermillion City Gym?!" I looked at the ground and sighed. "Then I have to go to the Vermillion City Gym and learn the answers to my questions..." I muttered and headed towards the door.

"Katherine..." I looked at Sabrina as she spoke. "Will you allow me to continue to travel with you? I feel horrible for the way I was unable to protect you from Team Rocket before."  I nodded lightly.

"I want to learn these answers as well, allow me to accompany you as well." I looked to the right and saw Gary standing there. I hadn't noticed him before, but I could see the tiredness in his eyes.

"I think it would be a lovely idea." Sabrina said and smiled brightly at me.

"Right, what she said. I think we better hurry. I have a feeling if we stay here much longer Team Rocket will come back and I will have caused a lot of trouble for Nurse Joy and the people of this city."  They nodded and we headed towards the door. That's when Growlithe came out of his pokeball and looked at me. "What is it Growlithe?"
