Since my involvement in all this was minimal, perhaps it would be wise to tell the reader why it is that I am both still alive, and more responsible for our position than is remembered.  You see, back in the old days, when the magi were strong and we could take pokemon form, it was a lot easier to make things not as they appear.  Everyone says that “Mew” locked Blaze and Vapor into their imprisonment.  But who’s “Mew”?  Remember that this is someone old enough to have done it, and so obviously had a name back when she could take human form.  Her name was Gabriel Oak, and she was my daughter.  To everyone, she was the true and level guardian of Kanto, given the post by virtue of the form she took, that of a Mew.
     As I said, things were not always as they seemed back then.  She had the form, yes.  But her power was a lot more limited than the true guardian of Kanto, the Mew who’s power was so great, that he took on two of the greatest magi in history, and crushed them with no effort.  “Why does the current Mew not show this power?” people ask.  The excuse humans have for this is that when the magic was bound, so was the power even of the guardians.  This is not totally true, otherwise I could not have survived the ages to tell you this.  The simple truth that evades everyone is that there were two Mews.  I was the one in the background, the one who lent power to the seat of the Kantonian guardian.  The greatest mage ever to come out of the twin regions.
     Those two were my greatest pupils, and it hurt so badly to send them into the center, that I stopped trying to be a backseat guardian.  I let Gabriel take care of the aftermath, and I myself disappeared from history, to pick up the pieces and try to lead a somewhat normal life.  Power was no longer required, since even the limited abilities of my daughter were enough to keep the place in line.  She was one of the few who kept her power, and so she didn’t need me to help regulate nonmagicals.  I somehow retained my immortality, something which truthfully wasn’t the best news I’d heard, since I back then I was pretty depressed and death for me would have been a relief.  Now that the magic is back, I suppose I should take my place again, I suppose I should start making sure no one abuses the region.
     I can’t, for so many reasons, I can’t.  Gabriel is not all there anymore, she remembers the days back when she had human form, but not the form itself.  She believes that it was she who enacted the punishment on my students, but cannot focus on how she did it.  Time has done far more to her than it has to me, and she has gone too far over to her bestial side to ever be capable of rationality again.  On the other hand, what she does is for the greater good, and so I do nothing to help her, because my help is nothing she wants or needs.
     Besides, there are others now who can do the job.  Ash, Misty, My pupils, Gabriel and so many others are more willing to be Guardians, and I shall not attempt to regain my position until I must.
