(A/N: Howdy people. Got a new story for you. But first, a question. Who here has seen an anime or read a manga where the lead female character has declared that they are or are going to be the bride of the lead male character, who's usually reluctant? It's a rather common theme that's found in most romantic-comedy anime and manga. Well, after watching and reading a few series with this theme, I got the idea for this story. So be prepared for laughs and fluff in this romantic-comedy about a Mew seeking a mate. One last thing, make sure you read the Author's Note at the end for some information relevant to the story.)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

"MEW'S MATING SEASON"

Prologue

Many wondrous and breathtaking places could be found throughout the world, and many amazing Pokémon could be found in it. But some places were more splendid than others, including the Pokémon that inhabited them.

The location that had come to be known as Rainbow Cloud was a truly amazing and extra special place. And living here was an equally as amazing Pokémon. As rare as it was powerful, the Pokémon that dwelled here was known as Mew, one of the last of its species.

Like others of its kind, it was named after its species, as all Pokémon were, never having taken much interest in having a label placed upon them, with the exception of nicknames that Pokémon Trainers would sometimes give them.

But Mew wasn't like other Pokémon. Mew was a Legendary Pokémon. Each one as rare and as powerful as the next, they were few in number, and only as handful of each species were scattered across the world.

This particular Mew was a female, and she was currently entering her mating cycle for the year. She would therefore need to come down from her home and seek out a mate. As one of the last of her kind, it was up to her to make sure she continued the Mew species. It was a very important duty she had, a duty all Mew had to make sure they preserved their race.

It would not be easy though. Mew knew there were very of her kind left. In fact, many humans believed them to be extinct. And unlike other Pokémon, she could only reproduce with another member of her species. While it was not too uncommon for Pokémon to mate and reproduce with other Pokémon of different species, if they were compatible enough, for Legendary Pokémon, they could only breed with another Legendary Pokémon of the same species as them. Meaning she could only reproduce with another Mew.

This was why there were so few Legendary Pokémon in the world. Not only were their potential partners limited to one species, but the fact that there were so few of those species in the world made it even harder to find a mate.

She knew why this was so though. The power of a Legendary Pokémon was so great that to have too many in the world could have disastrous consequences. Therefore, it was believed that Arceus made it so that Legendaries could only breed with other Legendaries of the same species to keep nature in balance. Even breeding with the shape-shifting Ditto was not an option. The only Legendary Pokémon that could breed with Ditto was Manaphy, but even then the offspring would be a Phione rather than another Manaphy.

Mew sighed. Finding a mate would not be easy, but she had time. Her mating cycle would last a while, and even if she didn't find one in time, she could try again next year, and could even seek out potential mate until then if she chose. Or would she not feel motivated to do so outside of mating season? She wasn't sure, this was the first time she had gone into heat. She hadn't been interested in finding a partner before, but once her mating cycle had hit her, it was like a switch had been flipped.

'Is this what humans refer to as… being horny?' she wondered.

Though her home was isolated away from human life, she had gone exploring in human populated areas before. And with her ability to teleport, turn invisible, transform into other Pokémon, and use her psychic powers to read the minds others, it was rather easy for her to go about undetected. Those powers would now serve her in trying to find a mate.

It would still be difficult with there being so few Mew in the world. She could understand the reason for keeping the number of Legendary Pokémon to a minimum, but couldn't they at least breed with other Legendary Pokémon, even if it was of a different species? That would make things a little easier. After all, if a Wailord could breed with a Skitty, and a Seviper could breed with a Zangoose, then couldn't she at least breed with a Legendary Pokémon like a Celebi or a Jirachi?

'Really, what was Arceus thinking?'

But there was nothing that could be done about it. She would just have to make do. And so, she flew down from her cloud and began her search.

The solitude of the caves were nice. Though he enjoyed spending time with other Pokémon, he also liked his solitude. And here, in the deepest darkest parts of Cerulean Cave, he didn't need to worry about being disturbed, at least not by humans. For now anyway.

He knew they would come eventually. Humans always came seeking rare or powerful Pokémon, whether to capture them or study them, they always came. But they would never get him. Never again would he be subjugated to human desires.

His experiences with humans had been… complicated to say the least. First by the scientists who created him for no other purpose than to be a science experiment, then by the leader of Team Rocket, who sought to enslave him. After that, he had been pursued by the surviving scientists that had created him, and the Pokémon Hunters they sent out to recapture him. To put it simply, these experiences had left him with a very low opinion of humans.

They weren't all bad though. He had met a few that were kind, one in particular had even stopped him from going down a very dark path, and then later had even saved his life. And while this did change his opinion of humans a bit, he still felt it would be better to stay away from them, and so he only stayed in the company of other Pokémon.

Sometimes though, he would feel the need to be alone for extended periods of time, which was how he now found himself in the caves of Cerulean City. He wouldn't be able to stay here long though; already there were rumors of a powerful Pokémon going around the city. Soon the humans would come to seek him out, and he would need to move on, or risk being discovered. And the last thing he needed was for his existence to become public knowledge. Then everyone would try and capture him. He was, after all, the most powerful Pokémon to ever exist, and one of a kind to boot.

As of now, excluding the scientists that were pursuing him, less than twenty humans knew he even existed, and only because he trusted them enough to remain silent about having met him. Any others, he would erase the memories of himself from their minds. With as strong as his psychic powers were, he could do that.

But Pokémon he could trust. He knew they would never betray him. Even if they wanted to, there were only a very few amount that could actually speak to humans, so he was safe. But even if his existence did become known, there was no one who could conquer him. After all, he was the most powerful Pokémon of all.

He was Mewtwo.

(A/N: IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! Lets get a few things out of the way. One, I know in the games there is usually only one Legendary Pokémon of its kind, but as it has been demonstrated in the anime, movies, and manga numerous times, there ARE more than one, the only exceptions being Mewtwo, maybe Arceus, and there only being 5 Genesect. Two, don't give me any crap about how Legendary Pokémon don't have genders. That is ONLY a theme in the games for reasons like stats, the inability to breed, etc. Though in the anime, movies, and manga, humans usually refer to a Pokémon as 'it' rather than 'him' or 'her', Pokémon do have genders, and this goes for Legendary Pokémon as well. Case and point, a baby Lugia was seen with a mother and a father Lugia, Latios was stated to be a boy while Latias was stated to be a girl, Manaphy was called the 'prince' of the sea {as in MALE}, and Diancie was called a 'princess' {as in FEMALE}, and these are only examples off the top of my head. So, now that it's been made clear that outside of the games Legendary Pokémon DO have genders and are NOT one of a kind, lets avoid any debating on the subject. With that said, I hope everyone enjoyed the prologue. The actual chapters will be longer. Hope to see you all next time. Reviews are encouraging.)
