My name is The Legend and I am a Mewn. Several thousand years ago I was once a Mew living in peace with my master and his people the pokemopolitans. However the pokemopolitans turned on my species and slaughtered them for their fur. I evolved after my master's death at their hands and obliterated their civilization. I also vowed to avenge all Mew that had been killed. I now roam the Earth looking like a human and I call myself The Legend. I stop genetic experiments that take place on pokemon and continue to eradicate the descendants of the pokemopolitans who escaped my wrath the first time around. This is my story.
Ecruteak City, twenty-two years ago, 22:00 hours: A large mansion rested on top of a hill overlooking the city and its two towers. The Brown family lived there and right no Ms. Brown was feeding her five-year old child John.
"There you go. I don't know why you're up so late. Here I'll put you in your playpen," said Ms. Brown. She put John in his playpen and started reading through the day's paper in the kitchen when suddenly the front door blew inward and skidded down the main hall from some unknown force. Ms. Brown watched in horror as a figure appeared in the doorway.
"Ms. Brown you will die because your ancestors, the pokemopolitans, destroyed my people. There is nothing you can do or say to avoid this," said the figure. Ms. Brown screamed as the figure lifted up his hand and squeezed it. Ms. Brown's mind effectively lost all brainwave patterns and she fell on the floor next to the playpen.
"John," she said. Then Ms. Brown died and the figure turned away and ventured into the night, not noticing the child in the playpen. Mr. Brown came home three hours later to find his wife dead and his son crying in his playpen. Mr. Brown attempted to locate his wife's killer but died of heartbreak several years later. John grew up with his grandparents, but he never forgot that day and the word pokemopolitan.
Author's Note: A brief change on Mewn's description, its head more closely resembles a Charizard's than a Mew. Everything else that I mentioned in The Legend is still the same and Mewn is white like Mew and Mewtwo.
Today, two months after Mewn fought Mewtwo and Mew: The Legend finally arrived in Ecruteak City after some wins and losses. The Legend entered the city and vaguely remembered coming there before but for what he couldn't remember. The Legend walked straight to the pokemon center and dropped off his pokemon for some R&R.
"Just transfer them back to Prof. Oak when they're ready," said The Legend. The Legend then walked over to a terminal, contacted Prof. Oak, and obtained Electabuzz. He then released it from its pokeball and the two walked into the center of town. They soon discovered a massive celebration that was taking place for electric pokemon.
"This is why I obtained you Electabuzz because today is electric pokemon day," said The Legend. Electabuzz watched in amazement at all the floats and banners dedicated to his variety of pokemon. He then saw a sign that read: Pokemon match today at the stadium. Trainers who wish to attend must bring one pokemon with electric type moves. Electabuzz looked up at The Legend suspiciously.
"I also must confess that I had other reasons for obtaining you. You're the strongest electric type pokemon I have and I was hoping that we could enter this contest as friends," said The Legend. Electabuzz looked at his reflection in The Legend's shades and growled affirmatively. (The Legend always wears shades and a backwards hat the simply contains the Nintendo Logo and Powerfest '94 at an angle at the end of Nintendo)
"Good. The tournament is about to begin," said The Legend. The two ran off to the stadium.
Stadium: "Greetings one and all! I'm your announcer and I'd like to welcome you to our electric pokemon showdown! I see the trainers are emerging onto the field," said the announcer. Dozens of trainers emerged out into the sunny day and waved to all of the trainers. The Legend and Electabuzz walked out also.
"Look cool and don't attract attention. If someone figures out who I am we could be looking at a lot of battles and I only have you. I don't want to sound like I don't believe in your abilities, but every pokemon has disadvantages. You and I both know this and we can't allow that to happen," said The Legend. Electabuzz pulled out a pair of shades of his own and put them on so they looked alike. The two of them walked into the field and stared at the crowd.
"Just stay calm and collected and we'll be fine," said The Legend. Electabuzz gave a quick nod.
"I'd like to welcome the benefactor of this event John Brown!" exclaimed the announcer. The Legend looked up quickly.
"Brown? Where have I heard that name before?" thought The Legend. John appeared to the roar of the crowd.
"Greetings everyone. I'd like to welcome you to this event. I'm going to once again enter this year's competition with my Jolteon and I expect to win! After the event I have an important discovery that I want to let you all in on so until then good luck," said John. The brackets were made and the groups split up.
"Okay Electabuzz let's take this nice and slow. That Pikachu should be easy pickings," said The Legend.
"Go Pikachu use agility!" exclaimed Joey. Pikachu zoomed off across the field.
"Wait for it Electabuzz and hold your ground," said The Legend.
"Pikachu quick attack," commanded Joey. Pikachu zoomed even faster and was about to collide with Electabuzz when The Legend yelled.
"Mega punch the ground!" he exclaimed. Electabuzz reared back its fist and slammed it into the ground. The resulting seismic tremor made pikachu loose its footing and fall down. Pikachu skidded towards Electabuzz and stopped right in front of it.
"Mega kick!" exclaimed The Legend. Electabuzz booted Pikachu across the field and it landed in a heap on the ground.
"Pikachu is unable to battle, Electabuzz is the winner," said the referee. People cheered while The Legend and Electabuzz merely shrugged.
"You did a good job and let's keep it up," said The Legend.
Another battle: "Jolteon use pin missile," said John. Jolteon fired its spikes and knocked out the Primeape it was facing.
"Jolteon wins," said the referee. John waved at the crowd. He looked at the trainers that were left and saw a particular trainer with an Electabuzz observing him closely. The person looked oddly familiar but he had no idea where he'd seen him before and dismissed it as coincidence. The trainer then stood up and left the field.
"What's you secret," thought John as the trainer disappeared into the shadows along with Electabuzz.
Several battles later: "Boy do we have one heck of a match. We're looking at John Brown versus the just identified pokemon master The Legend!" exclaimed the announcer. Electabuzz looked up at The Legend.
"We knew it couldn't last and if you loose than that means there will be less people to battle us. Either way we can't loose," said The Legend.
"I wish you the best of luck but you know that you'll loose," said John.
"Just between you and me, that ain't possible. Go Electabuzz," said The Legend. Electabuzz leapt forward.
"Go Jolteon," said John. Jolteon casually walked forward.
"Electabuzz use tackle attack," said The Legend. Electabuzz zoomed forward at unbelievable speeds racing towards Jolteon.
"Your Electabuzz is very fast but not fast enough. Jolteon jump!" exclaimed John. Jolteon leapt into the air as Electabuzz lost his balance and fell over.
"Jolteon tackle attack," said John. Jolteon flew down towards Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz roll over!" exclaimed The Legend. Electabuzz rolled over as Jolteon hit the ground. Jolteon cleared its head of the cobwebs and jumped back up to attention.
"Impressive, Jolteon use quick attack," said John. Jolteon slammed into Electabuzz flinging him backwards. Electabuzz stood back up and growled defiantly.
"Still not enough. Jolteon tackle attack," said John. Jolteon zoomed forward towards Electabuzz. The Legend waited until Jolteon was a hair's breadth away from Electabuzz when he issued his next command.
"Electabuzz side step away from Jolteon's tackle attack," he said. Electabuzz stepped to the side of Jolteon but the enemy pokemon immediately stopped.
"Jolteon mega kick!" exclaimed John. Jolteon slammed its rear right foot into Electabuzz and it went soaring off. It was heading for the wall of the stadium but before it reached it, The Legend used his psychic powers to slow Electabuzz's velocity so it tapped the wall. Electabuzz stood up, growled, and fainted.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle. Jolteon is the winner," said the referee. The whole crowd burst into cheers. The Legend shrugged and walked over to Electabuzz.
"You did well considering the odds were stacked against you. Here," said The Legend. The Legend produced a max revive and sprayed it on Electabuzz. Electabuzz sat up and growled.
"There you see. No problem," said The Legend smiling. The Legend looked around for John Brown to give him a 'better luck next time' speech or congratulate him on a good battle, but instead he was talking to his fans and T.V. cameras. The Legend was about to give a piece of his mind when Electabuzz walked right in front of him and held up his hand. Electabuzz growled out a lengthy speech. The Legend reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. You're right. If I go over there we'll just come to blows and we'll both look stupid. I'm sure there are some trainers out there that will view Mr. Brown as a dishonorable trainer. Come let's see what important speech he has to say," said The Legend. The Legend joined the other defeated trainers as they looked up at John who was on a podium.
"I'd like to thank those who participated in today's events and even more to those who I desecrated. Anyway, I'd like to tell you my important discovery. I was reading through my mothers will again and I noticed a little subscript about a safe. I discovered the safe and it had a little piece of paper in it," began John.
"What'd it say?" asked a trainer.
"It said that I am the descendant of a pokemopolitan!" exclaimed John. This startled Electabuzz as it did The Legend but The Legend kept a cool head about it.
"Electabuzz don't look up! Just pretend to contemplate this!" The Legend thought. The Legend projected the message into Electabuzz's mind and it barely grabbed a hold of itself.
"We'll deal with this tonight and in the meantime just talk to the other pokemon," The Legend projected. They then went around congratulating the other trainers before leaving.
Podium: John was hoping for a rise of some sort out of The Legend but when he didn't get one he was disappointed.
"Perhaps that's why they call him The Legend. He's honorable," he thought. He noticed that after he mentioned he was a pokemopolitan The Legend shuddered briefly. However, The Legend had left before he managed to get down from the podium and ask him any questions. Somehow John knew that The Legend would return and they would have yet another face off.
John's mansion, 22:00 hours: John was eating some cereal and the night's paper when the door burst open and skidded down the main hallway. John briefly choked on his cereal and looked up to see an image that had been etched into his mind forever. A sinister figure stood at the door once again with the intentions of killing someone in his household.
"John Brown. You will die because your ancestors destroyed my race. There is no way you can defend or redeem yourself," said the figure.
"I've been waiting for you for the past twenty-two years and I cannot allow you to destroy me to give your live some sense of purpose. I know that you're a psychic pokemon and I'm going to use that to my advantage. Now it's your turn to die!" exclaimed John. John yanked out a remote, pressed a button on it, and the floor opened beneath the figure sucking it down to the basement. The Legend emerged in a gigantic maze. He then started to lift off the ground towards the exit in the ceiling when suddenly he lost all contact with his psychic abilities including his visual appearance. Mewn fell onto the ground.
"I need help," he said. Mewn summoned up all of his energy to send a short message to Electabuzz who was waiting for him outside the mansion.
"Electabuzz get help," he said. On the surface, Electabuzz received the message and ran off. However, John's two henchmen chased after him and Electabuzz disappeared into the brush before they could catch him.
"Now what?" Greg asked.
"Use your Electabuzz and say it's the captured one," said Clyde.
"All right. I don't much like him anyways so it'll work out," responded Greg.
Underground maze: "You are what killed my mother?" asked John incredulously from a booth overlooking the maze.
"Who are you?" demanded Mewn.
"I'm John Brown. You killed my mother and for that you will pay," said John.
"I didn't kill anyone's mother without killing their child also. All pokemopolitans must pay for what they did to the Mew species no matter what their age," said Mewn.
"I don't care about pokemopolitans! I only care about my mother and that you tore her from me forever," said John.
"If I don't stop the descendants of the pokemopolitans they'll bring back the old ways and all pokemon will suffer as a result. I can't let that happen. Mewn reached out with his hand in order to bring the booth down, but nothing happened. Mewn retracted his hand into a fist and looked at it.
"Apparently my psychic powers are not gone, only blocked," thought Mewn.
"I suppose you're wondering why your powers aren't working. The answer is very simple. My R&D branch working in conjunction with Giovanni Inc. developed a device that blocks all psychic energy. Apparently Giovanni used it on one of his more powerful pokemon to control its psychic powers and it needed only a few modifications to completely suppress psychic powers. I'm not going to lie to you. I specifically said that I was a pokemopolitan to draw out my mother's killer because when she was murdered I remember her killer mentioning the word pokemopolitan. I researched the word and discovered that they were an ancient race of humans who were the first to actually attempt to capture pokemon. I see that you are either from that time period or you're an imposter. Either way you will die," said John. Mewn stared at him.
"I don't remember your mother, and I most certainly don't remember you. If I did kill your mother, she'd be nothing more than a statistic. I gave up memorizing the names of my victims a few thousand years ago. After so many have perished you just have to give up and continue tracing the names of the pokemopolitans who you do remember. If I did kill you mother I would've killed you too because you're also a descendant of a pokemopolitan. The only way I wouldn't was if I wasn't aware of your existence. Make no mistake if I'd known about you, I'd have destroyed you also. What's the purpose of your labyrinth?" demanded The Legend pointing to it.
"Oh it's very simple. You will attempt to work you way through the labyrinth in order to escape. However, my pokemon are inside the labyrinth waiting for you. You'll have to battle them in order to advance any further into the maze. I also have a pokemon on loan from Giovanni and if you advance through the maze then you're going to have to face it before you escape," said John laughing. Mewn growled at him and ran into the maze.
