Chapter 20: The Ghost of Lavender Tower

(Mew and her friends walk through Rock Tunnel to reach the next town and another part of their Pokemon journey.)

(They soon walk out of the tunnel, and become surprised to see a town that is covered in fog.)

(They also can see a tall and large tower in the town.)

Brock: "So this is Lavender Town."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "It looks kind of spooky."

(Misty says, feeling nervous.)

Mew: "It kind of does. According to the guide book, Lavender Town is usually foggy, and it has a special tower called the Pokemon Tower, it's a resting place for Pokemon who have passed away and people can visit and pay their respect."

(Mew says, reading the book.)

Brock: "And it also said that many Ghost Pokemon also lived in the Tower as well."

(Brock says.)

(Misty becomes frightened.)

Misty: "Gh-ghost Pokemon?!"

Mew: "Yeah. I guess ghost Pokemon like to hang out where they can see spirits of Pokemon. Plus, they also like to play tricks on people."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "I hope they're not scary tricks! I don't wanna go in there!"

(Misty panics.)

Mew: "Don't worry Misty, we're just going to go to the Pokemon Center, heal our Pokemon, grab something to eat, and get some supplies."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "That's good. Let's go to the Pokemon Center."

(Misty says, relieved.)

[Soon...]

_______________________________________

(the group are already at the Pokemon Center, having their Pokemon treated and checked by Nurse Joy, and Mew along with her friends, Pikachu, and Eevee are having something to eat.)

(Suddenly, Mew soon hears a conversation that grabs her attention.)

The man: "I hear that a ghost has been appearing in the Pokemon tower lately."

Mew: "A ghost?"

(Mew says, confused.)

(Mew looks to see two people talking.)

(The woman asks.)

The woman: "Really"

The man: "Yeah. That's right, and a lot of people claimed to have seen it. I haven't seen it, but everyone has been talking about it. They said that the Pokemon is rumored to scare away anyone who walks on the upper floors."

(The man says.)

(Mew soon becomes interested to hear about a ghost in the tower.)

(She wonders if it's just a Ghost Pokemon playing tricks.)

(After having their lunch, and gathering their Pokeballs.)

(Mew also exchanges some of them, so some can have a chance to battle and some can rest.)

(The group of friends then leave the Pokemon Center and decide to look around town.)

[Soon...]

_______________________________________

(they find a place that catches their attention.)

(Brock reads the sign.)

Brock: "Hmm, Lavender Town Pokemon House."

Misty: "Never heard of that place before."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Is it a playhouse?"

(Mew wonders.)

Misty: "Let's go and check it."

(Misty suggests.)

(The group enters the place to see the Pokemon House for themselves.)

(Brock calls out.)

Brock: "Excuse us, is anyone here?!"

???: "Yes,"

(A girl's voice calls out.)

(The door opens and a young girl with light brown pigtails and purple eyes walk in.)

(She is wearing a pink shirt and purple skirt walk in.)

Mew: "Excuse us, do you think you can tell us about this Pokemon House?"

(Mew asks.)

???: "Of course, this is a place where abandoned or orphaned Pokemon are taken care of."

(The girl says.)

Mew: "Abandoned and orphaned?"

(Mew says, concerned.)

Reina: "I'll show you. By the way, my name is Reina."

(The girl says.)

Mew: "Hello Reina, my name is Mew, and these are my Pokemon, Eevee and Pikachu, and these are my friends, Misty and Brock."

(Mew says.)

_______________________________________

Misty: "It's nice to meet you."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "Yeah. and we like to check the place out."

(Brock says.)

(The group walks around to see so many pen areas for Pokemon.)

(There is an Oddish, Sandshrew, Vulpix, and more baby Pokemon.)

(What's more, there are people that are taking care of the Pokemon, feeding, playing, and cleaning.)

Misty: "There are so many Pokemon. Are they all abandoned?"

(Misty asks, feeling sad.)

Reina: "You should talk to the founder of the Pokemon House. His name is Mr. Charles Kyle. He said that lots of people around the world think of Pokemon as nothing more than tools or even some kind of accessories. Did you know that this house was actually used to be Mr. Kyle's own home. He remodeled it like this so it will have facilities just for the Pokemon."

(Reina says.)

Mew: "Mr. Kyle must be a very kind person."

(Mew says.)

Reina: "You're right, he is. That's the reason a lot of people decide to volunteer here to help him and the Pokemon out, and I'm one of them."

(Reina says.)

Brock: "I sure love to meet Mr. Kyle, is he here?"

(Brock asks.)

(Reina shakes her head.)

Reina: "No. He's gone to the Pokemon Tower. He went to visit with his Charizard, who just passed away a year ago."

_______________________________________

Mew: "His Charizard?"

(Mew asks.)

Reina: "Yes. Mr. Kyle loves his Charizard, they've been together since he started his journey, and have been inseparable. He comes to the tower once in a while to visit his Charizard's grave."

(Reina says.)

Mew: "Maybe we can go to the tower and pay our respect to the Pokemon."

(Mew suggests.)

Misty: "As much as I like to, but I'm a little nervous about meeting the ghost Pokemon there."

(Misty says.)

(Reina giggles.)

Reina: "You don't need to worry, the three Pokemon Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar are very friendly, and they do have the tendency to play tricks on other people, trainers, Pokemon, and even each other. They are very nice Pokemon and respect the grave of the Pokemon there."

Brock: "Hmm, sounds like they're good Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Yeah. Just mischievous."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Um, so when do you think Mr. Kyle will be back?"

(Misty asks.)

Reina: "I'm not sure. He also said that he plans on finding the baby Pokemon that hasn't been seen for over a month,"

(Reina says.)

Mew: "A baby Pokemon? Did something happen?"

(Mew asks.)

Reina: "Team Rocket happened."

(Reina answers.)

Misty: "Team Rocket?"

(Misty asks, confused.)

_______________________________________

Reina: "Yes. Team Rocket was trying to capture Pokemon that were just outside of Lavender Town."

(Reina says.)

Mew: "They didn't capture any, did they?"

(Mew asks.)

Reina: "No,"

(Reina says.)

(Then shows a sad frown on her face.)

Reina: "But… they ended up killing a Pokemon."

(This shocked the group.)

the group: "Killing a Pokemon?!"

Reina: "I'm afraid it's true."

(Reina sadly says.)

Brock: "What Pokemon was it?"

(Brock asks.)

Reina: "It was a Female Haxorus. Which is very rare in Kanto."

(Reina says.)

Brock: "A Haxorus? Are you serious?"

(Brock asks, shocked.)

Misty: "What's a Haxorus?"

(Misty asks.)

Mew: "A Haxorus is a Pokemon that originated in the Unova Region. It's really rare to see them here of all places."

(Mew says.)

(She then brings out her Pokedex and shows them a picture of it.)

(The Pokemon is a bipedal Pokémon with a dark, yellow-green covering on its back and most of the front.)

(It has black skin covering its torso, tail tip, and thighs, as well as red talons and claws.)

(Its large tusks, which resemble scythes, are black and edged in red, and are located on its upper jaw on the side of its mouth.)

(Its medium-sized eyes are red with black pupils.)

(Ridged plate-like skin travels from its back to its head region.)

(It has solid armor and the legs and tail have a dividing line pattern.)

(Its arms are quite small, with three digits with two elliptical triceps and biceps and circular elbows.)

(Its hands are small and circular with small red claws.)

(Its legs are formidable and strong with three-toed feet with a red talon on each toe.)

_______________________________________

(Then Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Haxorus, the Axe Jaw Pokémon. A Dragon Type. They are kind but can be relentless when defending territory. They challenge foes with tusks that can cut steel."

Misty: "Wow. That looks like a big Dragon type Pokemon."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Team Rocket must have been able to overpowered it somehow. Probably have an Ice Type Pokemon at hand."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "They didn't get away with it, did they?"

(Misty asks.)

Reina: "They were arrested and taken to prison. They soon had the Haxorus buried in Pokemon Tower. Haxorus was able to successfully rescue the Pokemon Team Rocket tried to capture, but lost its life in the process. After the incident and giving it a proper burial, they found its nest and soon discovered it had a baby. We searched, but couldn't find it. However, Mr. Kyle refused to give up."

(Reina says.)

Mew: "So Haxorus died saving the Pokemon, and it's child became an orphan. What a horrible thing for Team Rocket to do."

(Mew sadly says.)

Brock: "Poor little Pokemon, it must have been so heartbroken and feels so alone."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "I do hope it's found."

(Misty sadly says.)

(Pikachu and Eevee show deep sorrow for the baby Pokemon of Haxorus and for what became of it.)

[Sometime later...]

_______________________________________

(Mew and her friends have received their tour of the Pokemon house.)

Mew: "Thank you for showing us around. This is a great place for the Pokemon to live."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "And the Pokemon love it."

(Misty says.)

Reina: "I know. Mr. Kyle isn't just a nice man, but was a successful Pokemon trainer before retiring. He sometimes teaches us a thing or two about Pokemon and about their moves, and breeding."

(Reina says.)

Mew: "We really love to meet him. It's too bad he's busy right now."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Yeah. We might be able to learn from him."

(Misty says.)

Reina: "I'm sure he would love too."

(Reina says.)

(Then looks at the clock to see the time.)

Reina: "Hmm, Mr. Kyle should have been back a while ago. I wonder what could have happened."

[Suddenly...]

_______________________________________

(one of the doors opens and someone runs in there.)

(He calls out.)

The Man: "Everyone, Mr. Kyle has been kidnapped!"

(The volunteers and the people who are at the house become shocked.)

Reina: "Kidnapped?"

(Reina asks.)

The man: "Yes I was two people from Team Rocket running to the Pokemon Tower with a sack. I also hear a Meowth saying by Mr. Kyle's name."

(The man says.)

(Mew and her friends become shocked, they realize who they are.)

The man: "To make matters worse, they had the Pokemon Tower sealed and prevented anyone from entering. Now no one is able to pay respect to their Pokemon."

(The man says.)

Mew: "Those jerks!"

(Mew angrily says.)

Misty: "Yeah. That sounds like something they would do."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "But why would they Kidnapped Mr. Kyle?"

(Brock wonders.)

_______________________________________

Mew: "They must have wanted something from him, or they could be after the Pokemon in the Pokemon house, or holding him for ransom."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Wouldn't put it past them."

(Misty says.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika." (I agree.)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (They're the worst.)

(Eevee says.)

Brock: "First the ghost in Pokemon Tower and now Team Rocket invade it. Now they have two problems."

(Brock says.)

The woman: "It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. The other night I decided to visit my Clefable who recently passed away. And that's when I saw the Spirit. It kept telling me to leave the place,"

(The woman clarifies.)

Another man: "And the other night, I hear crying. It was so loud and upset that it echoed across the hall. I got scared and ran away as fast as I could."

(Another man says.)

(Mew and her friends look at each other in concern.)

(They all nod to each other in agreement.)

_______________________________________

(Mew then turns to Reina.)

Mew: "Reina, let me and my friends help you rescue Mr. Kyle, stop Team Rocket and solve the mysteries of the tower."

(Everyone becomes surprised to hear Mew's statement.)

Reina: "Are you sure? Team Rocket is dangerous."

(Reina asks, worried.)

Misty: "Don't worry, we've dealt with Team Rocket plenty of times, and always stopped them."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Plus, you all really want to visit your Pokemon who are buried in the tower and I'm sure they want to see you all in spirit."

(Mew says.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "And the Ghost Pokemon will lose their home if nothing is done."

The woman: "Are you sure? I mean, your friend is still a child."

(The woman says.)

Misty: "Don't worry, Mew has plenty of experience in battling, and has already got three badges."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Well, it's nothing to brag about. I mean, you're one of the Gym Leaders of the Cerulean Gym, and Brock was the Pewter Gym Leader."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "That's true,"

(Brock says.)

_______________________________________

(The people become surprised to hear this.)

Reina: "Really? You two are Gym Leaders?"

(Reina asks, in surprise.)

Misty: "Yep. Still, we're planning on getting rid of Team Rocket."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "And we'll make sure to rescue Mr. Kyle."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "And help you visit your Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

(Reina smiles and says.)

Reina: "Thank you."

[Meanwhile...]

_______________________________________

(in Pokemon Tower, Team Rocket is on the top floor of the tower and has Mr Kyle.)

(An elderly man with a white mustache, wears glasses, along with a white shirt, brown pants and shows is tied up to one of the pillars.)

Meowth: "So this is Mr. Kyle. they say that he's an expert in Pokemon."

(Meowth says.)

Jessie: "And now he is our prisoner. And if the people want him back, they'll have to give us the Pokemon from the Pokemon House."

(Jessie says.)

(Mr. Kyle says.)

Mr. Kyle: "You… you can't do that."

Jessie: "Just try us. We heard that there is this ghost in this tower and like us, it forces anyone to leave. Who will be stupid enough to come to this tower anyway with a ghost here, even if there is no such thing as ghost."

(Jessie says and laughs.)

(James sighs.)

James: "We're the ones who decided to come here despite the rumors."

Meowth: "Yeah,"

(Meowth replies.)

(James then holds out some scope.)

James: "Whether there is a ghost or just a ghost Pokemon, we have the silph scope to help us identify it."

[Later in the night...]

_______________________________________

(Mew and her friends arrive at Pokemon Tower.)

(They have to admit, coming to the tower is making them nervous.)

Mew: "Well, we said that we will solve the mysteries behind the events and stop Team Rocket."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Yeah. So uh, let's go."

(Misty nervously says.)

(The three then begin to step inside and see that it's very dark inside.)

Misty: "It's dark in there."

(Misty says.)

(Mew then brings out her Pokeball.)

Mew: "I'll let Charmander help us with that."

(Mew tosses her Pokeball and Charmander comes out.)

Mew: "Charmander, we need the flame to help light up the place, make sure to stay close to us."

(Mew says.)

Charmander: "Char," (Sure.)

(Charmander says.)

(The group begins to walk down the hall as they climb up the stairs.)

(The place is very spooky here, and they don't know when they'll run into the Ghost Pokemon.)

Misty: "I wonder where Team Rocket are."

(Misty replies.)

Mew: "They're probably on the top floor."

(Mew suggests.)

Brock: "It's best we keep going."

(Brock replies.)

_______________________________________

(The group continues to walk up the stairs and soon they begin to hear something.)

(They hear.)

???: "Eeeeeeeewwwwww!"

(along with crying and sobbing.)

Misty: "Wha-what was that?"

(Misty asks, scared.)

Mew: "It sounds like someone is crying."

(Mew answers.)

Brock: "It's coming from upstairs."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Let's be very quiet and walk up gently."

(Mew whispers.)

(The group nod their heads and quietly walk up the stairs to the next floor.)

(As they walk up the stairs, the noise is getting louder.)

(They continue to walk up until they reach.)

(Mew decides to be the first to take a look.)

(She then walks up the stairs and hides behind one of the pedestals.)

(She leans her head to the open to see the source of the noise.)

_______________________________________

(Mew gasps in shock to see the source is a baby Pokemon who is crying in front of a grave.)

(The little Pokemon is a bipedal, grayish-green Pokémon with pale, straight tusks protruding from the sides of its mouth.)

(The back of its head is dark grayish-green with a tall, slightly curved horn.)

(Large, dark grayish-green ovals surround its red eyes, and it has a short, rounded snout with large nostrils.)

(A forest green collar marking encircles its neck.)

(It's limbs and tail are short, with its forelimbs having three digits and its feet having two digits.)

Misty: "What is that Pokemon?"

(Misty whispers.)

(Mew brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Axew, the Tusk Pokémon and the pre-evolved form of Haxorus. A Dragon Type. These Pokémon nest in the ground and use their tusks to crush hard berries. Crushing berries is also how they test each other's strength."

Misty: "The pre-evolved form of Axew? That Axew must be Haxorus baby."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And the sobbing and crying that they've been talking about it's that Axew."

(Brock says.)

(Without saying a word, Mew leaves from the hiding spot and walks towards the baby Axew.)

(When Mew is close she sits down behind the little Tusk Pokemon, causing it to turn around and glare with tears coming out of its eyes.)

Mew: "It's okay… I'm not going to hurt you."

(Mew calmly says.)

(She then looks up at the grave to see a picture of a Haxorus on the pedestal of the grave.)

Mew: "That grave it's your mother… isn't it?"

(Mew asks.)

(Axew sadly nods its head in reply.)

(Mew then places her hand on Axew's shoulder.)

_______________________________________

Mew: "It's okay, Axew. Everything is going to be okay,"

(Mew says.)

(She then picks up Axew and holds it close.)

(Axew feels that it's been a long time since it feels an embrace of love.)

(Axew then clutches Mew's shirt as it cries in sadness and grief.)

(Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Eevee, and Charmander walk out to Mew and the little Axew.)

Misty: "So it was Axew who was responsible for the sobbing and crying. It's still upset about what happened to its mom."

(Misty sadly says.)

Brock: "It was also probably staying away from humans because of Team Rocket, which explains why no one could find it."

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly Mew feels a tap on her shoulder and turns her head to see a purple Pokémon with a gaseous body.)

(It has a round head flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side.)

(It has triangular eyes with small pupils and a mouth with a long, pink tongue.)

(The gases composing its head curve into its mouth to form several pointed teeth.)

(Disembodied hands with three clawed fingers each float in front of its body.)

(Its body tapers into a jagged tail.)

(Haunter then makes a crazy face, frightening the group, Axew actually laughs.)

_______________________________________

(Confused, Mew asks.)

Mew: "You know this Pokemon."

Axew: "Ew Axew Ax Axew," (He and the other Ghost Pokemon are my friends.)

(Axew says.)

Mew: "Other Ghost Pokemon."

(Mew says, confused.)

(Soon Gastly, and another Pokemon appear.)

(his Pokemon is dark purple, bipedal Pokémon with a roundish body.)

(It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears.)

(On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur.)

(Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet.)

(It also has a stubby tail.)

Mew: "It's Gastly and Gengar,"

(Mew says.)

(She brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Gastly, the Gas Pokemon. A Ghost and Poison Type. Made of a thin, gas-like substance that induces fainting if you get enshrouded in it. Will not appear if it is very windy.

Haunter, the Gas Pokemon, and the evolved form of Gastly. A Ghost and Poison Type. In total darkness, where nothing is visible, Haunter lurks, silently stalking its next victim.

Gengar, the Shadow Pokemon, and the final evolved form of Gastly. A Ghost and Poison Type. Even your home isn't safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey."

Mew: "Interesting Pokemon."

(Mew says.)

_______________________________________

(Gengar then brings out a paper fan and slams it against the back of Brock's head.)

(Soon, Haunter and Gastly begin laughing.)

(Haunter continues to make funny faces, and Gangar uses the paper fan to slap Haunter on the head.)

(The three Pokemon begin to act like a comedy routine.)

(Mew and her friends begin to laugh.)

Mew: "They're kind of funny."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Even if they're kind of weird."

(Misty says.)

(Brock then asks.)

Brock: "Hey Mew, ask if they know about the ghost or Team Rocket who have kidnapped Mr. Kyle."

(Mew nods her head and turns to the Pokemon.)

Mew: "Hey guys, have you three see a woman with long pink hair, a man with short purple hair, and a talking Meowth. They kidnapped Mr. Kyle, and we're trying to find him."

Gastly: "Gastly?" (Mr. Kyle's been kidnapped?)

(Gastly asks, surprised.)

Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter Haunter Haunter." (We've seen them carry a sack up to the top of the tower, we didn't know Mr. Kyle was in there.)

(Haunter says.)

Mew: "It's okay. We're here to help him and stop Team Rocket."

(Mew says.)

_______________________________________

(Then asks.)

Mew: "Also, do you know anything about the spirit that's been haunting this place? Excluding ghost Pokemon?"

Gengar: "Gengar Gengar Gengar Gengar Gengar," (The spirit is on the sixth floor, and it's been trying to get us to leave the Tower.)

(Gengar says.)

Gastly: "Gastly. Gastly Gastly Gastly," (Yeah. Whatever the ghost is, it's been telling us to leave and saying that the people on the top floor are dangerous.)

(Gastly says.)

Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter," (The spirit is full of sadness and anger, maybe you can help.)

(Haunter says.)

Mew: "We can try. Think you can lead us there?"

(Mew replies.)

(The three Ghost Pokemon nod their heads with smiles.)

(The group then begins to walk up the stairs.)

(They soon reach the sixth floor.)

Mew: "Keep on your toes guys, that ghost can be anywhere."

(Mew says.)

[Suddenly...]

_______________________________________

(a dark purplish will-o-wisp appears and travels towards the trainers.)

(It shouts.)

Spirit": Get out!" Leave this place!"

(Misty panics.)

Misty: "It's the ghost!"

Mew: "We'll take care of this. Pikachu. Eevee. Charmander."

(Mew says.)

(The three Pokemon step forward.)

(Mew turns to Brock and Misty.)

Mew: "Guys, go to the top floor and find Mr. Kyle, my Pokemon and I will handle this ghost."

Misty: "Okay,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "Let's go,"

(Brock says.)

(Brock and Misty follow the Ghost Pokemon away from the battle field.

(On the top floor, Team Rocket soon hears the shouting.)

James: "What was that?"

(James asks.)

Jessie: "Maybe it's just a Ghost Pokemon,"

(Jessie answers.)

[Just then...]

______________________________________

(the three ghost Pokemon along with Misty and Brock arrive on the top floor.)

(Misty says, surprised.)

Misty: "Team Rocket!"

Team Rocket: "It's the twerps!"

(Team Rocket exclaims.)

Misty: "There you are,"

(Misty angrily says.)

Brock: "You've caused a lot of trouble here."

(Brock says.)

James: "Trouble…"

(James says.)

Jessie: "It's what we do."

(Jessie smirks?)

(With that, they begin to perform their motto.)

Jessie: Prepare for trouble

James: Make it double

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie.

James: James.

Jessie: Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light.

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight.

Meowth: Meowth, that's right.

Misty: "We have no time to deal with you with all the trouble you're causing."

(Misty angrily says.)

______________________________________

Brock: "Release Mr. Kyle,"

(Brock says.)

Jessie: "Sorry twerps, but we need Mr. Kyle and the Pokemon from the Pokemon House."

(Jessie says.)

James: "Not to mention any knowledge he might know about Pokemon, and hopefully the people of this town can give us the Pokemon from his place if they want him back."

(James says.)

Misty: "So you were after the Pokemon."

(Misty angrily says.)

Brock: "You're not going to get away with this."

(Brock says.)

Jessie: "Time for a battle huh."

(Jessie says, bringing out her Pokeball.)

James: "Time to settle the score,"

(James says, holding his as well.)

(Misty and Brock also bring out their Pokeballs.)

_______________________________________

(Down the stairs, Mew along with her Pokemon are fighting against the ghost.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Charmander, use Scratch!"

(Charmander uses Scratch, but the attack has no effect.)

(Then Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt. Eevee, use Shadow Ball."

(With that, both Pokemon begin to use the attack on the ghost, but nothing works.)

Mew: "How are we supposed to stop this ghost?"

(Mew questions.)

[Suddenly...]

______________________________________

(Haunter flies down the stairs and seems to be holding some scope in its hand.)

Mew: "What is that?"

(Mew asks.)

Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter. Haunter Haunter Haunter Haunter," (Use them on the ghost. I snatch it from Team Rocket while Misty and Brock are fighting them.)

Mew: "Okay…"

(Mew says, confused.)

(Mew then holds out the silph scope and uses it on the ghost.)

(Just then, the ghost changes its shape and reveals a Pokemon's form.)

(Mew gasps in shock.)

Mew: "Haxorus?!"

(That's when Mew Realises.)

Mew: "So the ghost that's been haunting the place… is really Axew's mom!"

(Haxorus then shouts.)

Haxorus spirit: "Get out! Leave this place! You shouldn't get close to them!"

Mew: "Huh?"

(Mew says, confused.)

(Suddenly, Axew runs towards the spirit.)

Axew: "Eeeeewww!" (Mommy!)

(Haxorus becomes surprised to see it's baby running toward her.)

(Axew hugs Haxorus.)

(Soon Haxorus is at ease and leans down and hugs her child.)

(Axew is so happy to see his mother again.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (So the ghost was Haxorus all along.)

(Eevee says.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika Pika Pikachu," (She must have been worried about her baby, that's why it's been haunting the place.)

(Pikachu adds.)

Charmander: "Charmander," (Guess we have no reason to battle her anymore.)

(Charmander replies.)

(Mew and the Pokemon watch with calm and small smiles to see Axew is able to see his mother again after a terrible separation.)

(Feeling at ease, Haxorus feels that she's ready to move on.)

(Haxorus then lifts her head to see Mew and her Pokemon.)

(Just then Haxorus says.)

Haxorus spirit: "Please, take care of my precious baby."

_______________________________________

(Mew becomes surprised to hear Haxorus.)

(Then Haxorus begins to leave Axew as it flies off to rest in peace.)

(Axew reaches his arms out to his mother as she leaves to the great beyond.)

(Mew calmly says.)

Mew: "Axew!"

(Axew lets out a cry from his mother who he knows that she will always be with him.)

(Up on the top floor, Misty and Brock have Grookey and Vaporeon out, while Team Rocket has Ekans and Koffing out.)

(Grookey and Vaporeon are starting to get tired.)

(Same for Team Rocket's Pokemon, but they aren't as tired as Brock and Misty's Pokemon.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "Well, you twerps are always going to be annoying."

James: "You might as well give up."

(James says.)

Brock: "Like we would,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "We still can battle."

(Misty says.)

Jessie: "Well, see Ekans use Bite,"

(Jessie says.)

(Then James says.)

James: "Koffing, use Tackle."

(With that, the two Pokemon charge for an attack.)

[Suddenly...]

_______________________________________

(someone calls out.)

Mew: "Charmander, use Slash! Eevee, use Iron Tail!"

(Just then, Charmander performs Slash at Ekans, and Eevee performs Iron Tail on Koffing.)

(And both Pokemon fall on their trainers.)

Meowth: "What the-?! It's the twerpette,"

(Meowth exclaims.)

Mew: "As much as I don't like being called that, but I'm going to kick you out of this place!"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Perfect timing Mew,"

(Misty says.)

(Then Brock and Misty call back their Pokemon.)

(Seeing the villains, little Axew wants to battle them.)

(Misty quickly places her hands on Axew's shoulders and says.)

Misty: "You can't take on Team Rocket, Axew. Just leave everything to Mew."

(That's when Team Rocket quickly stands along with their Pokemon.)

Jessie: "Well at least we can take this opportunity to capture Pikachu."

(Jessie says.)

_______________________________________

Jessie: "Ekans, use Acid!"

(Jessie calls out.)

(Ekans then begins to attack.)

Mew: "Quick dodge!"

(Mew calls out.)

(The Pokemon quickly dodge the attack.)

Mew: "Charmander uses Slash! Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Charmander then performs a Slash attack on Ekans while Pikachu uses Quick attack on Koffing.)

(Soon enough, Ekans and Koffing are knocked out.)

(Meowth steps forward.)

Meowth: "Alright, looks like I'll have to do everything myself!"

Mew: "Not quite. Eevee, use Swift!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Eevee then performs Swift and the attack Meowth with full force and fall to the pile of the knocked out Pokemon.)

James: "I guess it looks like we've been beaten."

(James says.)

Jessie: "We're not done yet."

(Jessie says.)

[Suddenly...]

_______________________________________

(they are suddenly lifted in the air.)

Jessie: "Wh-wh-wh-what's g-g-g-going on?!"

(Jessie exclaims.)

James: "Wh-wh-why are we floating?"

(James panics.)

(The three trainers look to see Haunter, Gastly, and Gengar are using their psychic moves to lift them in the air.)

Gastly: "Gastly Gastly," (Don't worry about these guys.)

(Gastly says.)

Gengar: "Gengar. Gengar Gengar," (Yeah. We'll take care of them.)

(Gengar says.)

Mew: "Um okay,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "What did they say?"

(Brock asks.)

Mew: "They said that they'll take care of Team Rocket."

(Mew says.)

(The three Ghost Pokemon laugh and fly down the hall and up the stairs, taking Team Rocket with them.)

Mew: "Now that's Team Rocket has been taken care of, we should find Mr. Kyle."

(Mew says.)

(Brock and Misty nod their heads.)

(Mew picks up Axew and they hurry down the hall to find Mr. Kyle tied up on the pillar.)

_______________________________________

(Seeing the children, Mr. Kyle asks.)

Mr. Kyle: "Who are you?"

Mew: "I'm Mew and these are my friends: Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander Brock and Misty, and little Axew."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "We're here to rescue you."

(Misty says.)

(Brock and Mew kneel down and help untie Mr. Kyle.)

Misty: "Don't worry, we took care of Team Rocket. They won't bother anyone here anytime soon."

(Misty says.)

Mr. Kyle: "Well then, I owe you all my gratitude."

(Mr. Kyle says.)

(Then notices Axew is sitting on Mew's shoulder.)

(He smiles and says.)

Mr. Kyle: "And I see Haxorus spirit finally found the peace it desperately sought. And we have all of you to thank as well."

[The next day...]

______________________________________

(now that Team Rocket is gone and the spirit is finally put to rest, the people are able to visit their Pokemon's grave again.)

(Mew and her friends are at the Pokemon house, and Axew has really taken a shine to Mew, and also been able to get along with Misty, Brock, and the other Pokemon.)

(Mr. Kyle says.)

Mr. Kyle: "Thanks to you, everything in our town has returned to normal. And as you can see, Axew has been able to open up to being with people."

Mew: "It's no trouble at all."

(Mew says.)

(Then hugs Axew.)

Mew: "And I promised to take good care of Axew."

Mr. Kyle: "Yes. I think Haxorus was able to choose who she wished to take care of her child."

(Mr. Kyle says.)

(Then says.)

Mr. Kyle: "I also heard that you're on a Pokemon journey."

Mew: "Yes. I'm planning on competing in the Pokemon League and we're heading to Saffron City."

(Mew says.)

(Mr. Kyle smiles and says.)

Mr. Kyle; "I believe I might have something just for you."

(Mew and the others become confused.)

[Soon...]

_______________________________________

(the group is in his office and he has placed a box on the table.)

Mew: "What's in the box?"

(Mew asks.)

Mr. Kyle: "Well, open it,"

(Mr. Kyle says.)

(Mew takes the box and opens it up to see two gems in different rings.)

(One of them is a small round gem with rainbow colors with a black D.N.A symbol in the middle.)

(It's in a black bracelet ring.)

(The second is a large cyan blue and blue color gem with a black and black D.N.A symbol in a metal-plated collar.)

Mew: "What are these?"

(Mew asks.)

Mr. Kyle: "These are the Mega Stone and Key Stone that my Charizard and I once wore back when I was a trainer. Course, that was a very long time ago. I like you to have them."

(Mr. Kyle says.)

Mew: "Are… are you sure? I mean, these belong to you and Charizard. They must mean a lot to you."

(Mew says.)

Mr. Kyle: "They sure do. Charizard and I did agree that if we ever met a special trainer, we would decide to pass them down to that very trainer. I know Charizard will agree that I like to pass them down to you."

(Mr. Kyle says.)

Mew: "Thank you, Mr. Kyle. I promise to take care of them."

(Mew says.)

(Then asks.)

Mew: "But, what do they do?"

Mr. Kyle: "These stones along with your bond with your Pokemon, it will allow the Pokemon to go beyond evolution. This stone is specifically for Charizard. One day when your Charmander evolves, it will be able to use this gem. I know that someday, you both will be able to unlock their power."

(Mr. Kyle says.)

(Mew and her friends look at the stones in amazement, with these stones, Charmander could evolve further when it becomes Charizard, but they'll have to wait to see what might happen.)

_______________________________________

(After saying their goodbyes, Mew and her friends head off to their next destination, Saffron City.)

(Mew is happy to see Axew is walking with Pikachu and Eevee with glee.)

Misty: "Glad to see the little guy is getting along with them."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "So Mew, what's your plan on battling the gym leader?"

(Brock asks.)

Mew: "Well, I read that the gym leader of Psychic Pokemon. It would have been good if I could catch a Ghost Pokemon, but I'll have to find my own way to defeat the gym leader."

(Mew says.)

(Pikachu looks behind and says.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (Look!)

(Everyone becomes confused and turns around to see Haunter has followed them.)

(Haunter then makes a crazy face, scaring Misty and Brock, and causing them to run away in fright.)

(Mew and the others simply laugh with smiles to see the crazy face.)

Mew: "That's a good one, Haunter. So you wanna come along with us?"

(Mew asks.)

Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter Haunter, Haunter Haunter" (That's why I'm here. I like to come with you on your journey, and be with Axew.)

(Haunter says.)

Mew: "Well then, glad to have you on board."

(Mew happily says.)

(Then asks.)

Mew: "By the way, what did you guys do with Team Rocket anyway?"

Haunter: "Haunter Haunter Haunter," (Let's just say they're having the fun of their lives.)

(Haunter says with a mischievous grin.)

(In the secret room of the Pokemon Tower, there is a large playroom full of toys, a swing set, and other fun stuff.)

(Turns out Gengar and Gastly have Team Rocket tied up and force them to ride on the carousel.)

(The two Ghost Pokemon are laughing and watch the fun while Team Rocket is screaming.)

(Jessie screams.)

Jessie: "I can't take anymore!"

James: "Let me off! I'm dizzy!"

(James screams.)

Meowth: "Stop the ride! I wanna get off!"

(Meowth adds.)

(Then, they scream together.)

Jessie, James and Meowth: "Looks like Team Rocket's throwing up again!"
