# Mew's Christmas Carol Author: Justanotherstranger Tags: Christmas, Mew, Mewtwo, Poetry, Pokemon #1 of Mew's Christmas Carol Chris... **Christmas is a celebration one normally spends With relatives and strangers, family and friends! But those that obsess over this aspect only Are always the ones that are the most lonely...** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Twas a dark, cold night of ice and snow Winter had come, as the moon was aglow Bathing herself in its pale chilling light Floated Mew, a legendary of wisdom and might "1.5424° to ecliptic..." She mumbled with a meaning most cryptic "6.687° to orbital plane..." She whispered in a way most profane Creating mental notes to add to her growing supply Mew giggled and decided to look down from the sky Down there was a world she felt she knew rather well With few curiosities about it left in her to quell Suddenly realizing danger with her many senses She hastily attempted to raise her defenses A crowd of Pokémon seemed to have gathered underneath Dancing, laughing and singing through their teeth! Mew lowered her defenses, but rose in height "What an odd thing to be doing, on such a frosty night..." But even though she was so high above   She couldn't help but notice all their magnificent love Focusing her ears, she started hearing Of tidings and traditions most endearing! They were celebrating 'Holidays' or 'Christmas', signs bode Whichever one it was, she was unable to decode She wondered what 'Christmas' was, in curiosity They were spreading joy and delight, with such generosity! And even though she tried to this happy display shun She couldn't deny that it all looked kind of... Fun. She wished to join them, to move a bit nearer Instead the voice of reason in her turned clearer "I am legendary and must remain hidden", she remembered "Unless I want to get caught, or maybe even dismembered!" Sighing deeply, she turned around to leave She saw no use in hanging on to an impossible dream But suddenly, a plan in her mind took form "I know! I can try to use 'Transform'!" Searching nearby for a lonely spot She knew from the start this would be a long shot Her transformation skills were far from complete And her regular form was pink, not all that discreet!   Setting down among a group of trees She took shelter behind them from the cold breeze Then, using the extent of her abilities She began thinking about the many possibilities She thought of turning into a common Raticate But she didn't want to come off as too overweight Most of her transformations were of water-types, like Horsea Although becoming a Magikarp would probably never be a good idea... In the end, she decided to go with Charmander The fairly rare, yet popular salamander But then she halted herself just before turning In this cold, her fire might stop burning! Met with failure, she felt her determination soften Transforming was not something she did very often Not wanting to waste any further time She simply transformed herself into a Mr. Mime Her new body was itchy, heavy and slow Only when compared with her regular form, though They might laugh at her, but she won't hear it None of that will be enough to crush her spirit! Feeling ready, she finally left the trees Approaching the crowd while braving the chilling freeze   Sliding herself in, she quickly blended in with the the crew There were now 33 regular Pokémon... And a Mew! Looking around, she found herself somewhat meek Celebrations everywhere, yet she dared not to speak! She had never been good at socialization Constant isolation can create such a retardation Observing the area, she saw much decoration Ornaments and lights, with trees as their foundation Most of them were covered in round colorful glass They reminded her quite a bit of Regigigas! A little further away, among all the cables Were several kinds of food, decked across many tables Although she rarely ate and did not condone slaughter At the sight of this, even her mouth began to water! She moved closer as her analysis became complete None of the meals appeared to contain any meat Even so, she noted that no one was eating As her thoughts were interrupted by a slurred greeting "Hey there sweetie, lend me your ear Surprised to see a beauty like you, over here!" A Machoke spoke brashly, ending with a cough As Mew kind of wished he would just back off   "Thank you..." she whispered, not wanting to be rude Then the Machoke leaned in closer, thinking he was a cool dude "Hey, I've been wondering about this forever... Is it Mr. or Ms. Mime, or whichever?" Mew became worried, since she didn't know the answer And she tried to divert their attention by looking at a nearby dancer "Come on sweetie, it's just a simple question!" The Machoke spoke, as his voice gained a hint of aggression "Whichever" Mew replied, hoping it was true "Well then, which one would best describe you?" Mew gasped as she finally understood This rude Machoke was hoping to give her wood! Mew took a step back and drew a frightened breath To her kind, relations would eventually result in her death But her impending doom would seem like a minor gripe If she got together with this moron who was SO not her type! "You look worried" he said, "Don't be upset... One look at mine, and you'll instantly be wet!" Mew wanted to erase him, but knew that she shouldn't Morals aside, it was more of a fact that she couldn't!   To attack she would have to shed her disguise Even if only for a second, that would not be wise If she were to reveal her true form here, no matter how adorable The consequences would indeed be deplorable! "Isn't it too early for you to be committing rape?" A nearby snake-Pokémon said, as the Machoke's mouth was agape "Usually you get to stay free until at least Christmas Day" "Keep it in your pants, or you'll miss the evening's buffet" "Sorry, officer Snivy! I won't happen again!" the Machoke plead "Piss off, bonehead" Snivy said while scratching his head The Machoke scrambled away and disappeared among the crowd Leaving the two of them alone, as Snivy sighed out loud "T-Thank you..." Mew said, still urging to be left alone If not for his presence, by now away she would have flown "Not a problem, miss..." he answered, clearing out his ear "Or perhaps that was 'mister', I didn't quite hear!" "Not you too!" Mew shouted, starting to bicker As Snivy looked surprised before giving off a snicker "Oh no, I just want a new story to bug him with" was his reply   "See, it would be hilarious if you actually turned out to be a guy!" "I'm female, if that's what you want to know" Mew said, Snivy looking mighty disappointed in the snow "Well, I'll tell him differently if I catch him up to some other crime..." "Everyone else seems to be in high spirits, so try to have a good time!" Snivy left her for an Eevee as Mew stood and stared These encounters had caught her a bit unprepared She thought, "Could this be what Christmas is all about? In that case, perhaps it wouldn't be wrong for me to drop out-" Before finishing her thought, she left the table Unwillingly as she was pulled into a dance most unstable "Come my darling, let us dance the night away!" "We'll move over this snow like a true winter sleigh!" It was a Blaziken that had spun her around in a whirl Laughing uncontrollably, he sent her flying away in a twirl She was half-expecting someone else to instantly catch her Once again manhandling her, and turning her into a blur But as luck would have it, no one came So she spun to the outskirts of the area again   Taking a moment to try to calm down She looked back at the party with a big frown "I knew these were wild Pokemon, but..." she thought As she noticed someone her attention sought Another Mr. Mime, who appeared to be kind of sleepy He was shuffling away from the crowd, very mysterious and creepy It was then that Mew knew for sure This party had been a rather terrible detour Taking one last look back at the swarm She finally turned back into her regular form! Fleeing quickly, she left the Mr. Mime in a daze Praying that this would not any suspicions raise Flying fast and with an increasing height The Mew at long last faded away into the night... Mew had made it quite far before she exhaled Seems that her mission to slip in unnoticed had failed While she actually wanted to stay and enjoy the festivities... It appears that she was not up for some of the activities! ... Is this Christmas? Even so, she truly did not want to give up She had almost been found out, yet didn't want to stop! There would have been more to see, had she remained a Mr.Mime   Having a good time once in a while, could it really be a crime!? She thought about returning as herself, before cracking a smile Doing something like that would simply not be her style Although in truth, she would do anything to not soon Have to spend another night with no one but the faceless moon She has likened herself to the moon ever since birth Soaring majestically, far above the lively earth Floating all alone over a million miles away Everyone looks up to it, but never have anything to say... And so began the passing of yet another unfulfilled night She was free, but without another soul in sight The silence and solitude she had come to know so very well Instead made her feel like she was locked inside a cell Spending her days researching, she was called Earth's mother For she knew more about life than any other But learning the ways of creatures big and small Did nothing to cure her emptiness, at all! Though so very wise, she was not deluded She knew that all her life she had been secluded And by knowing so much, yet experiencing so little   Her will to live had become rather brittle Born legendary, her existence was one of limitless possibilities She was blessed with a long life as well as incredible abilities One would think her goals in life would come rushing While in reality, she truly had nothing... Her greatest wish was actually far from vain She was not interested in power, money nor fame Although the longing was there, the solution remained unknown Perhaps something akin to a family, one that she could call her own...? A mother, or someone who is loving and kind! An older brother, always having a superior mind! Just... Anyone! Someone that'll keep her from going insane! With something like that, she would never feel lonely again! A storm was picking up as the air filled with snow But in her normal form, she was never cold, hungry or slow She knew that she would be fine through this whole ordeal And kept moving until she suddenly heard a sorrowful squeal Although her night had already been blown She knew that she just couldn't leave it alone!   She moved closer as the storm had lost its stability And whoever it was would have reduced visibility "-addy, no!" a light voice pierced the storm As in the haze of snow, Mew began to see a form For right in the middle of this unforgiving blizzard Stood a young Squirtle, hunching over a collapsed Charizard "Daddy! No! Please don't die!" The child wailed as he started to cry Mew did not have to be a wise one most distinguished To notice the flame on his tail had already been extinguished... "Please! My daddy's dying, help my daddy, you!" The child continued, unfazed at the appearance of Mew He could not exactly be picky on who to ask for assist As he could only make out a pink blur in the powerful mist Mew approached the Charizard's massive size This storm had obviously taken him by surprise They must have just been outside flying What a horrible way to end up dying... While healing was not hers but Celebi's specialty She thought that fixing this should not be an impossibility Perhaps if she were to all the cold inside his body drain   Like a phoenix, he would spring back to life again? She had barely gotten started before the entire Charizard suddenly burst into fire! The Squirtle jumped back, receiving a scare While Mew just hovered closely to the mighty flare "GRAAAAAHHH!" the Charizard yelled As his entire body felt like it was being meld After a few moments, the ball of fire ceased its burning As the Charizard slowly felt his powers returning "DADDY! YOU'RE ALIVE!" the Squirtle shouted Never having lost hope, never having doubted The Charizard was confused and started to look around But nowhere the pink figure he had felt was to be found The Charizard flinched, "If not for her, I would be..." "Tell me, son... Who was it that helped me?" "It was the spirit of Christmas!" the Squirtle said As he stopped crying and started smiling instead "Wait, was THAT Christmas?" Mew thought as she fled through the squall Either way, she really didn't want this night to end up in a Pokeball! Forgetting about the two, even though it was not exactly biblical   She'll never know that she had just handed out a true Christmas Miracle! Still feeling down, she finally made it home A place so secret, even its description shall remain unknown! In all this secrecy, she was quite surprised to sense That someone was in there... It made her tense... Could it be her friend, master of the flora? Even so, Mew sensed more than one aura No one untrusted knew about her favorite place to hide And so, she decided to carefully look inside... "Welcome back, Mew! Happy Holiday!" Celebi exclaimed in a most cheerful way "Hey, there's this thing called 'Christmas', and it truly sounds fun!" "We have everything prepared, so let's try it at once!" Celebi was there, together with a strange crew A Gallade and Kabutops, as well as that brash Pikablu While Celebi claimed that they were trusty and would not tell Mew still hadn't gotten used to their presence all that well Her home had been decorated with various things Mostly weird trinkets, among them balls of glass on strings Everything was less glamorous than what she earlier had gotten to see   ... Surely, that tiny little branch was not supposed to be a Christmas Tree! A few hours ago, this would have been great Now? It all felt a little... Lightweight. "Oh! Almost forgot..." Celebi said, picking up a mysterious rag At closer inspection, it was more like a colorful and cubically formed bag She used her psychic abilities to remove its content Sent it flying Mew's way and gladly said "Here's your present!" Mew caught it and began examining it A bar of calcium, yet nothing special it seemed to emit... Mew frowned, "Hmm... I don't know if it's a keeper..." Celebi laughed, "Not like that, try to look at it deeper!" That's when Mew noticed what she hadn't earlier seen The calcium's electrons were not twenty, but actually nineteen! "It's called potassium, an element the humans created!" Celebi continued as Mew became elated Mew wanted to start experimenting with it right away! "This is incredible! Thank you so much!" she proceeded to say "Don't thank me, thank the others!" Celebi said, pointing to their additions   "They're the ones that got the present, and taught me all of these traditions!" "It was our pleasure" Kabutops said, as he decided to bow "I know my way around labs, just don't ask me how..." "What's with that bow, did age finally get your back?" The Gallade snickered, shining with the color opposite of black "Being humble is fine, but it's not like there was a rule!" "No need for all that stuff, these two are totally cool" "Maybe you could stand to learn some respect..." Pikablu mumbled quietly, hoping to interject "Hah!" the Gallade said, "I can't believe I'm hearing that from you!" "Mr. I'm-gonna-beat-up-legends-so-I-can-be-a-legend-too!" The bickering went on as Mew deeply sighed However, she did not feel the usual instinct to hide Rather, watching the chemistry between these three Filled her up with what she would later identify as "Glee"! 'Twas not a family, but some components were there Siblings fighting each other, but never ceasing to care Far from what she had experienced at the magnificent ball Could THIS be Christmas? It was a human tradition, after all...   If this was the proper way to celebrate Christmas or not It didn't really matter, because she was enjoying it a lot And even though her true holiday mission was far from clear She knew that she would get another shot at it... Next year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Somewhere in a dark, damp cave Sits old man Mewtwo, dignified and grave "Christmas? Bah! Humbug!" he started to exclaim And finished it, because in the end no one else came There he'll sit forever, known by nothing but his name Since he prefers to be alone... What a shame... But rest assured that if celebration WAS his aim That party would be anything BUT lame! Using his charms, he would get the most beautiful dame! Even her strongest suitors he would be able to tame! The ones that would question him would be looking for a maim... Humans, Pokémon... They all implode the same! But in the end, sitting alone in a cave was all that became... And he knows that he has only himself to blame... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: https://sofurry.com/s/ZeqgYRbn Part of the series Mew's Christmas Carol Next: https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/319551-mewtwo-s-christmas-carol.md
