After a quiet, peaceful night, Heath climbed out of bed with a yawn. Last night, after dinner with his Pokémon, he had exercised, played games with Zorua for a while, then turned off the lights and gone to sleep. He had not had any nightmares that night either, which pleased him greatly.
Once out of bed, Heath grabbed Zorua by the scruff with practiced ease, intending to take her outside. But the moment he grabbed her, he heard a coy voice. He turned back in confusion and saw that, at some point, a little white-haired Loli with animal ears had appeared on his bed. There was even a fluffy tail swishing around by her skirt.
"Nooo~ I don't wanna get up~" The little Loli whined with such practiced ease that Heath could not help wondering just what strange books Zorua had been reading.
"Get up already." Heath flicked Zorua on the forehead in exasperation, then carried her out by the scruff with Farfetch'd following. After calling Charmander and Snorlax over, they began their morning wash.
But the moment he pushed open the bathroom door, Heath saw a Pink-Skinned Rat floating inside his bathroom, holding a freshly rinsed toothbrush. White foam still clung to the corners of its mouth, and it stared at Heath through the mirror.
The corner of Heath's mouth twitched. Was this Mew treating his food truck like an amusement park? Come to think of it, this Mew seemed to have been following him ever since Viridian City, hadn't it?
Still, Heath was in no hurry. He planned to wait for Mew to run off on its own. That was what the little fellow always did, anyway.
To Heath's surprise, however, this time Mew showed no intention of running away even after his Pokémon had all gone inside,
