The Child of Mew

Chapter 3

"It'd be an honor to train with you, great and powerful Mew." Storm still treated her as high royalty, which to Pokemon, she probably is.

"It's strange, but your Pikachu, Storm, almost look like it's worshipping your Meowth, Nya." Brock observed.

Ash sweatdropped. "Yeah... uh... Storm has a strange... habit. Storm, knock it off!"

"Sorry Ash, but Mew is the Creator of all Pokemon. It's only natural I'd treat her with respect." Storm said.

"Respect, not like a slave." Ash sighed.

"C'mon, which way are we suppose to go now?" Misty complained.

"Well, to get to the next city we'd have to go through a cave called Mt. Moon. Legend has it that there are Clefairy and Moon Stone in there." said Brock.

"Ohhh, Mt. Moon. Ashie, we haven't been there since last spring, have we? I'll bet a certain friend of yours would be delighted to see you again." Nya teased as Ash's eyes widened in horror and his face turned white.

"What's wrong, Ash? You look like you've seen a Ghost type." Brock asked when he noticed Ash's sudden fear.

"It's... it's nothing Brock. Let's just get through Mt. Moon as quickly as possible." Ash quickly said trying to cover up his horrified face.

"Is something wrong with Mt. Moon, Ash? You just suddenly went pale." Storm asked in concern for his partner.

"Really, it's nothing."

"You're lying. Remember what I told you about how Pokemon can detect lies better then humans?" Storm said.

Nya was only giggling, raising Storm's suspiscons even more. Still, Ash wouldn't talk.

They made it to the enterence of Mt. Moon. Only to see a man being attacked by a bunch of angry Zubats.

"Attack! Attack! Attack!" they screeched while trying to bite the man's skin off.

"That man's in trouble!" cried Misty.

"What's up with these Zubats?" Ash took out his Pokedex.

"Zubat, the Bat Pokemon. Zubats are blind and use Supersonic to see. They usually fly at night and in dark places and hates to be in sunlight."

"Not these Zubats apparently. Storm, help that guy out. Thundershock those Zubats!"

Storm's cheeks sparked with electricity. The Pikachu jumped from Ash's head and zapped all those Zubats, forcing them flying back into the cave. Ash noticed Brock threw a Pokeball at one of the weakened Zubats and caught it. Ash didn't really want a Zubat, so he ignored it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ash asked the man in concern.

The man seem to have a lot of energy, despite being attacked by the Zubats. He quickly stood up with a big smile on his face and crushed Ash in a death hug.

"Ohhh, thank you so much for saving me! I thought I was done for, but then a hero and his Pokemon came and saved me!"

Storm, being the one in the middle of the crushing hug, could not stand being the sandwich anymore and zapped both Ash and the man, ending the death hug.

"Wow, your Pikachu has a powerful electric attack, I'm impressed." he said standing back up.

"Hey, why were those Zubats attacking you, Mister?" Misty asked.

The man gasped. "Never call me 'Mister'! My name is Seamore. Seamore the Scientist. And I must shout that I AM ALIIIIVE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"This guy is nuts." Storm commented.
