Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Arriving In Cerulean City

(Continuing on their way to Cerulean City, Mew and her friends continue to walk on the trail to.)

(Mew stretches her arms and says.)

Mew: "It sure is a nice day, today."

Brock: "Yeah. Of course, while we're here relaxing, Gary is catching more Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "That's true, but there's nothing wrong with relaxing once in a while."

(Mew says.)

(Mew turns to her Pokemon.)

Mew: "Right guys."

Pikachu: "Pika," (Yeah.)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee," (That's for sure.)

(Eevee says.)

[Suddenly...]

(Brock notices something that he should have a long time ago.)

(He has wondered about it, but now comes to a shocking realization.)

Brock: "Wait a minute! You can understand Pokemon?!"

(Brock asks, shocked.)

(Mew, Misty, and the Pokemon come to a stop, and realize they have forgotten to tell Brock about it.)

Mew: "Uh, yeah. I actually can. We're sorry we never mentioned it, but it slipped our minds. Are you mad?"

(Mew replies, feeling sheepish.)

(Brock shows a serious expression.)

[Suddenly...]

(he brings out a pad and pencil.)

Brock: "Please explain!"

(Then Misty, Pikachu, and Eevee fall over disbelief.)

(Misty says, dumbfounded.)

Misty: "At least Brock has taken an interest in it."

Mew: "Oh… well… where do I start."

(Mew says, embarrassed.)

(The group decides to take the conversation on the road.)

(Brock asks multiple questions about Mew's gift to understand Pokemon.)

(Mew then explains to him about her life from beginning to end.)

(She also tells them how she ends up with the name Mew.)

(She also explains how Eevee and her are close like sisters.)

(From the start of her life with Pokemon to her beginning a life with Professor Oak is an amazing story for Brock and Misty to hear.)

Brock: "That's really amazing. You were raised by Pokemon and able to understand and learn from them."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Yeah. and your Papa sounds like a cool Pokemon. Do you have a picture?"

(Misty replies.)

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)

(Mew then brings out the photo.)

(Brock and Misty look to see the photo of Mew with Zeraora, Eevee, Professor Oak, Gary, Daisy, and Andraia.)

Misty: "Wow! Your Papa looks so cool."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And a very rare Pokemon, and Eevee is with you too. No wonder you two are close."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Yeah. This photo was taken a year after Professor Oak and Gary found me."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Aww, you look like a very happy family."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And it's amazing to see a rare Pokemon like your dad. And that you were named after Mew, the Mythical Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "And It's cute,"

(Misty says.)

(Then asks.)

Misty: "So remind me where we're going?"

Mew: "Cerulean City,"

(Mew answers.)

(Misty suddenly panics.)

Misty: "Cerulean City?! What are you going there for?!"

Mew: "Well, the guide book said there's a Pokemon Gym specializing in Water Types, and I plan to get a badge there. Plus, I like to transfer some of the Pokemon to Professor Oak, and give my Eggs a check up."

(Mew says.)

[Still skeptic...]

(Misty says.)

Misty: "Uh Mew. You don't want Pokemon from there, trust me."

Mew: "Why?"

(Mew asks, confused.)

Misty: "Because they're all…"

(Misty answers.)

Mew: "All what?"

(Mew asks.)

Misty: "Very scary Ghost Pokemon that look like this."

(Misty answers.)

(Then makes a scary face.)

Misty: "Like monsters!"

Mew: "You look like a Haunter with that face, but they're not a problem. Let's go."

(Mew says, and walks ahead.)

(Brock and the Pokemon soon follow.)

(Seeing them leaving, Misty panics.)

Misty: "Hey! Wait! Wait a second!"

(Then runs in front of the group.)

Misty: "Hey, what about Vermilion City? It's right on the water and there are lots of neat Pokemon, and you can watch all the giant yachts pulling into the harbor, and there's a little park way up on a hill where you can sit and watch the sunset, that's so romantic."

Mew: "Really?"

(Mew asks.)

Misty: "It's much nicer than that old Cerulean City, so let's get going!"

(Misty says.)

(Mew smiles and says.)

Mew: "Okay. Let's go!"

Misty: "Really?"

(Misty asks, happily.)

(Then Mew says.)

Mew: "To Cerulean City."

(Misty then falls to the ground, disbelief.)

Mew: "Sorry Misty, but Cerulean City is the closest and I like to get more badges "

(Mew says.)

Brock: "Yeah, makes sense to me."

(Brock says.)

[Soon...]

(the group of friends begin to walk down the trail to Cerulean City.)

(Misty stands back up with a groan.)

Misty: "Ah! I never wanted to wind up back here!"

[Later in the night...]

(inside a strange store with machines and other stuff, everything seems quiet.)

(Suddenly, the lid to the air vent opens, and James from Team Rocket comes out with a flashlight.)

(James says.)

James: "The coast is clear!"

(Then Jessie comes out.)

Jessie: "Nothing to fear."

Meowth: "Nobody here,"

(Meowth says, appearing out of the vent.)

(The three hop out of the air vent and stand on their feet.)

(James turns on the flashlight to see the machines.)

(They walk down the hall a little to notice what they're looking for.)

(It looks like a green machine and a giant gray hose.)

James: "Well, looks like we found it."

(James says.)

Jessie: "Just what we need to get just what we want."

(Jessie says.)

Meowth: "Pokemon!"

(Meowth says.)

[The next day...]

(After making a stop at the Pokemon Center.)

(Mew has a few of her Pokemon transported to Professor Oak's lab.)

Mew: "So this is Cerulean City, eh, Brock?"

(Mew asks.)

Brock: "Pretty nice place, isn't it?"

(Brock replies.)

Mew: "Yeah, pretty cool!"

(Mew says.)

(Mew then notices someone is missing.)

Mew: "Hey, where;s Misty?"

Brock: "She really didn't want to come to Cerulean City, did she?"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "I wonder why she hates this place so much."

(Mew wonders.)

Brock: "I'm sure Misty has her reasons."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Maybe,"

(Mew says, curious as to why Misty doesn't want to come here.)

[Soon enough...]

(Mew, Brock, and the other Pokemon arrive in front of the stories, especially a specific one.)

Mew: "Police. I wonder what happened."

(Mew replies.)

Brock: "Yeah,"

(Brock says.)

(The two then walk over to see.)

(Mew asks one of the people.)

Mew: "Excuse me. Do you know what happened here?"

The person: "Some burglars broke into the store last night."

(The person answers.)

Mew: "Burglars, huh?"

(Mew replies.)

[Suddenly...]

(someone says.)

???: "What do you know about burglars?"

(The group turn their heads to see Officer Jenny.)

(Mew smiles and says.)

Mew: "Hi Officer Jenny. It's great to see you again. It's me, Mew. We met in Viridian city.

Officer Jenny: "Huh? Oh! You must have met my sister-in-law."

(Jenny says.)

(Then looks at Mew with a suspicious expression.)

Officer Jenny: "If you know my sister-in-law, that means you all probably have some dealings with the police in Viridian."

Officer Jenny: "Now, maybe you all stopped to ask her for directions, or maybe you found a wallet on the street and returned it to her."

(Jenny says, looking at Mew suspiciously.)

(Then brings out the handcuffs.)

Officer Jenny: "Or maybe you're all a gang of criminals who broke out of jail!"

(Mew yelps and hides behind Brock.)

(Brock answers.)

Brock "We just got into town and saw the crowd so we came here to see what was going on."

Officer Jenny: "The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime,"

(Jenny says.)

Brock: "We're not…"

(Brock says.)

(Then Mew brings out her Pokedex.)

Mew: "Um, maybe this will clear things up."

(Mew opens her Pokedex and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "I'm Dexter, a Pokedex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokemon trainer Mew."

Brock: "Yeah, and I was the leader of the Pewter City gym."

(Brock says, and brings out his gym badge.)

Officer Jenny: "Well, that's evidence enough for me."

(Jenny says, seeing the proof.)

(Then happily says.)

Officer Jenny: "I'm sorry I was suspicious."

(She brings out her handcuffs and says.)

Officer Jenny: "Now I'm suspicious of my sister-in-law, she sure has weird tastes in friends."

[Suddenly...]

(Brock says.)

Brock: "Uh, Miss?"

(Catching Jenny's attention.)

Brock: "I was wondering, since I'm new in town maybe we could get together tonight and you can show me around."

(Brock says, which makes Mew and her Pokemon confused.)

(But Jenny says.)

Officer Jenny: "Well, I'm not off-duty until it's past your bedtime. And I might even have to work round the clock to catch these burglars."

Mew: "What did they steal?"

(Mew asks.)

Officer Jenny: "That's the strange thing about it. They didn't take any money, just some massive vacuum and a giant hose."

(Jenny says, confused by this case.)

Mew: "What would anyone want that stuff?"

(Mew asks.)

Officer Jenny: "I'm afraid I have no clue, and the security cameras were messed up too, so we can't determine who did it. Anyway, you two should get going, I got work to do."

(Jenny says.)

(Then calls out to the people.)

Officer Jenny: "Come on, let's go! Alright, everybody! The show's over! Nothing to see here! Break it up! Break it up!"

[Sometime later...]

(Mew, Pikachu, Eevee, and Bock are sitting on the bench to rest.)

Mew: "Good thing I had Dexter and you had your badge."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "Yeah. Shouldn't you head for the Cerulean City Gym?"

(Brock replies.)

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)

(Then Mew asks.)

Mew: "So Brock, do you know anything about the Gym Leader? I just wanna find out as much as I can about him before we have our match. Know yourself, know your adversary, and you hold the key to victory."

Brock: "You sure know some pretty deep stuff."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "I learned that one from Dexter."

(Mew says, holding her Pokedex.)

(Then says.)

Mew: "Plus, I am curious to know the person the gym leader is. I did read that the gym specializes in Water Types.

Brock: "Well, I never actually met the trainer here, but I know his Pokemon's special move."

(Brock says.)

(Curious, Mew asks.)

Mew: "What is it?"

Brock: "I'm sorry, But I can't give you that information."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "How come?"

(Mew asks.)

Brock: "I'm a Gym Leader too, after all. I can't tell you out of respect. You understand?"

(Brock says.)

(Mew nods her head.)

Mew: "Right, I understand."

Brock: "Well, I have some stuff I need to check out."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "What kind of stuff?"

(Mew asks, curiously.)

Brock: "Just stuff. See ya later."

(Brock says, and walks off.)

Mew: "Bye,"

(Mew says.)

(After separating from Brock.)

(Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee begin to look for the Cerulean Gym.)

(She looks around as she wonders.)

Mew: "Cerulean City gym. Cerulean City gym. Should be right around here someplace."

(She then notices.)

Mew: "There it is!"

(The Gym is a semi circle-like building that has a pink and yellow stripe roof with a Dewgong on it.)
