"I am your Father."
Shadow Mewtwo's deep, calm Telepathy sent, and the scene went quiet.
Its mind goes momentarily blank.
And Damian and the three of them, all of them looked incredibly strange.
No, Shadow Mewtwo, has he taken too much medicine?
Erika was stunned, thinking, why is "I am your Father" so trash-talky?
Caitlin was equally surprised, while Damian felt it was creepy. He had previously told Shadow Mewtwo that if it really disliked Mew, it could mouth off a bit.
But Damian didn't expect Shadow Mewtwo to be so bold; one line and it knocked Mew to the wall.
Mew finally started to come back to itself after a while, biting its claws while watching Shadow Mewtwo.
If it had eyebrows at this moment, they would be furrowed tight.
Its father? No, that's wrong, I clearly have no father and never did.
"Wait! Are you insulting me, Meow!"
Mew suddenly reacted; that ugly guy was just insulting it, right? Definitely.
"Hey you you you!!!"
Mew telepathy-talking in a fluster.
"You are so rude!! How can you be so rude, Meow!"
Mew is furious, enough to stomp its feet.
But because of its pure heart, it doesn't even know how to counter-shout.
Shadow Mewtwo remains expressionless, staring at Mew for a long moment, noticing the resentment and grievance in the little one's eyes, and sighing inwardly.
What to say? It suddenly feels like it deserves to die—
This such pure little thing, and it just flared at it; isn't that a bit much?
But for Shadow Mewtwo to apologize to Mew, Shadow Mewtwo obviously couldn't do it.
So Shadow Mewtwo chose silence, its gaze not even fixed on Mew.
"No, no, you must apologize today, or I'll teach you a lesson, Meow!"
Mew gets really angry, consequences serious.
"Oh?"
Not speaking, Mew's darkness also flares up when it speaks.
"Wanna battle?! I'm happy to oblige." Shadow Mewtwo does not back down and responds decisively.
Mew's body fills with pink psychic energy, its big doe-like blue eyes also shining with pink light.
Clearly, Mew is serious now.
Shadow Mewtwo's eyes blaze with deep purple flames; a battle with Mew is something it's waited a long time for!
The atmosphere suddenly becomes oppressive.
"Don't rush, don't rush! If you two want to fight, wait a moment first."
Damian immediately interrupts their standoff; Mew and Shadow Mewtwo want to fight, he doesn't mind, but solving Mew's situation with Shadow Mewtwo is serious.
After his business is settled, let the two play.
Hearing Damian, Shadow Mewtwo quietly dissipates its formidable aura; for Damian, it's now the most trusted.
"Meow?"
Seeing Shadow Mewtwo stop, Mew looks puzzled at Damian.
"Right, all three Legendary Giants are still with you, Meow."
Mew suddenly remembers, pushing aside the humiliation it just endured.
"You mean Regirock and them? Yes, they are indeed with me, I've caught them."
"Hmm—could you release them, Meow?"
Mew moves in front of Damian, its voice unusually adorable with a hint of mischievous flirtation.
"They're important to me; they were left to me by Regigigas, Meow, if they're lost Regigigas will scold me, right?"
Mew's Telepathy sounds distressed, but finally it raises its snout.
It sniffs Damian in front of it, then circles him a couple of times, and confirms it hasn't mis-smelled.
"That aura of Ho-Oh? emmm, and Reshiram and Rayquaza,Suicune, Jirachi—wow, you've caught so many powerful ones."
Mew is astonished, even it hadn't expected so many legends to be on Damian.
"Your nose is really that sharp; you can smell all that." Damian watches Mew in astonishment.
"hehehe, I travel around a lot, so I've met many of them."
Mew is a little proud, because staying in Tree of Beginning is boring, so it sometimes goes wandering.
Thus Mew knows many Legendary Pokémon.
Although not all are close, some even tease Mew mercilessly about its borderless nature.
But anyway, Mew mostly knows them.
"That's pretty impressive." Damian raises an eyebrow.
"Humph humph—!"
Mew covers its mouth with its paw, then proudly cocks its hips.
"No no no, humans, can you please return the three Legendary Giants to me, Meow."
But Mew quickly returns to itself; the topic drifts again.
"Mew, are you often lonely?"
Damian doesn't answer; will he return the three Legendary Giants to Mew?
Of course he would return them; he doesn't plan to take away the three Legendary Giants, after all Tree of Beginning is a huge area he intends to keep for himself.
"Emmm—yes, but humans can't go inside there, they'll be eaten, Meow."
Mew blinks its big eyes, tilting its head.
So adorable!
Erika can't help but have bright eyes; she hadn't expected that Legendary Mythical Pokémon Mew would be so adorable and pure.
After all, according to the Pokédex, Mew is an ancient being, considered the ancestor of all Pokémon.
So logically, Mew should be very mature, right?
But here, Mew is clearly a very pure-hearted Pokémon.
And its Telepathy has a cute habit! Its telepathy is really adorable!
"We don't enter, but I have many Pokémon I'm raising here; would you watch over them for me?"
Damian speaks of his own plan.
Yes, he wants this Tree of Beginning Mew to become the administrator for the Pokémon he's raising.
Damian doesn't know if there are other Mews in this world, but what he does know is that the Mew that lives symbiotically with Tree of Beginning will likely never leave this place.
Because its fate is bound to Tree of Beginning.
Thus in Aura Guardian, this Mew inside Tree of Beginning is visibly lonely, yet its home is still inside Tree of Beginning.
"Ah? This… well—" Mew bites its nails, clearly torn.
Catching Pokémon for Tree of Beginning isn't a big problem, since the area is huge.
But the key question is: if you catch these Pokémon, will this human come here often?
Mew thinks it cannot easily promise.
"Mew, have you eaten these before?"
Damian suddenly pulls out tasty cakes and snacks.
"Hmm—"
Mew's eyes curiously watch the little cakes stuffed into its paw,
the pink cat takes a bite, and its eyes light up much more.
"And this."
Damian pulls out juice from a space bag (icebox), hands a straw to the pink cat.
"Delicious, Meow!!"
The pink cat takes a sip; the cool sensation and the juice sweetness instantly make its eyes narrow with happiness.
"And this."
Finally, Damian pulls out a tablet, and starts playing a TV drama "Charizard and its Venusaur Bride."
While sipping juice and nibbling little cakes and Pokéblocks, the pink cat seems like a宅男.
"Humans, I like these, Meow! I like them a lot!"
Mew is very happy; it has visited many human cities, after all it can hide.
But its personality is pure; it doesn't secretly steal humans' food, and the desserts and juice Damian has are delicious.
Seeing its "original form" being easily bought off by food and drink, Shadow Mewtwo remains expressionless.
"Good, I can send a batch to you every week, and I'll own this whole area to keep the Pokémon dwelling here."
"I'll also keep the three Legendary Giants here, Meow, you can watch over them."
"And there are some interesting Pokémon too, like Zapdos, Landorus, and Amoruss."
Damian gently coaxed.
This region around Tree of Beginning is very remote, near the edge of the Kanto mainland, so few people come.
If you want to buy this area, you just need to grease some palms.
"Huh? Are there Landorus too, Meow?" Mew tilts its head with a sip of juice, then smiles.
"Yes, Meow!"
Mew nods vigorously.
"But humans are not allowed inside, oh, if you come here later, call Jirachi to summon me."
Mew reminds Damian.
"Okay, I understand, Mew, you can call me Damian."
Damian patted Mew's head; the pink cat is truly adorable.
And it's worth noting that although Mew looks hairless, it actually has very fine fur all over its body; touching it feels nice.
"Damian, you're a good person, Meow."
Mew's eyes narrow into slits as it circles around Damian.
"Damian, could you bring more of these next time? I'll eat them all at once."
Damian smiles; he'll arrange delivery; however, these sweets are treats and not to be eaten too much.
"Don't worry, I'll have the delivery arranged; but little one, these are sweets; don't overindulge."
Damian jokes with Mew.
Although Mythical Pokémon Mew has a strong constitution, if it eats these treats and juice all the time, it might become a "nerd," right?
But looking at Mew's slender body, it wouldn't become fat easily anyway.
"Mm hmm! I understand, Meow." Mew nods vigorously, happy as can be.
"Hehe so happy, Meow"
Mew circles happily, its emotions plainly on display, which also highlights its pure heart, truly adorable.
Then, "Damian, that ugly, black, rude guy—is he also your Pokémon? Why do I smell a hint of my own scent on him, Meow?"
Mew floats to Damian's side, whispering its question.
It doesn't like Shadow Mewtwo; this guy is too rude, it dislikes him.
Damian's face grows subtly creepy at the mention.
Though Mew's whisper is soft, Shadow Mewtwo's senses are incredibly sharp.
Shadow Mewtwo's eyes burn with deep purple flames; its breath grows heavier.
Deep Telepathy seems to be compressing something.
"I am your Father!"
