I, Pokemon
By Saliaven Chronotis
Chapter 7:
I, Mew:

     I?   Oak’s daughter?  Absurd, I am the Force of Nature which binds the regions, and prevents destruction time and again.  I am eternal, I am, I am….
     I no longer remember my birth, I do not forsee my death.  All that has been and all that will be in the pokemon realms is under my jurisdiction, there has been no other.  And yet…. there is the Other realms, those that were recently rediscovered.  They have no Guardian now, and I know of none who are old enough to have been, even me.  I have been since the beginning, but there are lands from before.
     Perhaps Oak is right, perhaps I am as he says, human.  If so, what was it that did this to me?  Time alone does not destroy the mind, I’ve had enough to do over the ages.   What happened?  Betrayal.  Now I do start to remember my past in those times, the sorcerers, the parting shot, that which killed Her.  Oh, my love, how could I have forgotten you?  Time and hurt erased you from my mind, and none of the others had the guts to tell me what I had forgotten.  None had the courage to stand and speak what they knew to me true, I’d lost my mind.
     They knew who it was they were killing, and they knew that with us locking down the ley lines to the twin regions, we wouldn’t have the power to restore her.  They thought it was I who they fought when they were finally sealed.  How could they be so stupid?  He was right there doing it, not through my proxy, but personally.  Did they think that the crystal in their enemies forehead was just there?   How could they have rationalized the black lines that covered his body, proof positive of a being of incredible mystical power and will, one who could be bound in the dark magic, and not succumb?
     Saliaven goes to uncap the Lavender Tower.  I’d heard rumors that it was a mana well, but no one, even in the old days, ever managed to undo the bindings on it.  Now it has fallen, although I don’t think that would stop Saliaven.  Just because it’s not there now, doesn’t mean he can’t affect it anyway.  That’s transcendents for you, never paying any attention to linear time.  If he does it, then I will have the power to do what I must.  Revenge?  No, it is against my nature to need vengeance.  I will simply look for Justice.   I shall restore Her.  It’s funny, I cannot even remember Her name anymore.
