#8 of Mew's Christmas Carol

Christmas has come once more, but the people and Pokémon of this modern age have forgotten what it's all about! The misfitting duo of Mew and Mewtwo decide to bring back the old traditions and enforce their very own brand of Christmas spirit... For better or worse!

Mew and Mewtwo continued working hard through the night  
 Until the time had come for the two to once again reunite  
 Mew felt a bit exhausted, but kept a steady pace  
 As she finally reached their designated meeting place  
  
 Mewtwo hovered above the ground, calm and formal  
 And everything seemed to be completely normal  
 That is, until Mew came down saw what laid below  
 The frozen body of a human, lying dead in the snow  
  
 Mewtwo said, "There was no hope for his survival,"  
 "He had passed away long before our arrival,"  
 In the man's arms, a present with a note lay curled  
 'From Dad, to the greatest daughter in the world'  
  
 Mew gasped at the sight, her mind running errant  
 She knew too well what it was like to grow up without a parent  
 "Mewtwo!" she urged, "What great luck that we were to arrive!"  
 "If we combine our forces, there is a chance that we could revive-"  
  
 "Out of the question," Mewtwo snarled as his eyes flared  
 "This is not a being natural selection has spared,"  
 "Your love for morals must be something I have misread,"  
 "If you truly have no issue with resurrecting the dead,"

  "Read the note!" Mew yelled, ignoring his threat  
 "A good man like this cannot be meant to die just yet!"  
 "I could have saved him, had I only been here in time!"  
 "If I can save him still... Would it really be a crime!?"  
  
 Mewtwo glared at her, his will unable to bend  
 "Original," he said, "Your idealism will be your end,"  
 "Survival is not a given, but something you have to earn,"  
 "And the death of this human is not of our concern,"  
  
 Once more their opinions had turned out to be conflicting  
 And they spent the rest of the evening arguing and contradicting  
 At the end of it all, Mewtwo remained resolute and undaunted  
 And Mew realized they could not have saved the human even if they wanted  
  
 Finally, Mewtwo felt that his patience had diminished  
 He said, "Our efforts this Christmas are finished,"  
 "If more useless debating is what you crave,"  
 "Then I shall await you within the walls of my cave,"  
  
 Mewtwo left in haste, leaving Mew before she could reply  
 Having come to no resolution, she felt a heavy urge to sigh  
 She moved to the human and carefully picked up the present  
 Search as she might, she would never know for whom it was meant  
  

  Feeling sad and trying hard to ignore her empathy's aching pain  
 She suddenly felt curious as to what the package might contain  
 Undoing the wrapper and releasing the gift from its cell  
 She was surprised to find nothing but a common Soothe Bell  
  
 Another note was inside, and she was able to read  
 "The sound of this will calm you in times of need,"  
 Mew held up the round, metallic thing  
 Carefully tapping it with her tail, it began to ring  
  
 The lack of any and all effects disappointed Mew  
 But then she wondered if maybe that was all it was meant to do  
 A tiny little sound that provides her with a minute distraction  
 From the problems of the world that call for her action  
  
 It reminded her that she more than anyone had earned  
 To spend the rest of the night happy and cheerful, not concerned  
 Her spirits returned and eased her mind of all the bother  
 As Mew let go of the bell and whispered, "Thank you... Father..."
