Chapter 52: CHAPTER - 2 { A New Pokemon or Human? }
[Author Talk---]
Sorry readers, I didn't publish any chapters for the last few days.
It was all because of the shitty network in our area, damn I was in rage.
I will try to write as many as I can and publish them fast for now.

The photos shown on the monitor were of a young man together with his friends.
They were in a lab and experimenting with some of the early stage pokemons.
Some photos of Birkang with the storm and his single person boat that sailed.
It was as if the monitor had started playing a flim in front of Kota.
How did two hundred years ago this old man manage to get these photos?
The technology at that time was similar to Kota' old Earth in 1995.
Which can be considered quite advanced.
"But how can you survive for two hundred years? That's impossible!"
Said Kota, he looked at the old man's eyes and saw some deep darkness in them.
"I didn't survive for two hundred years. I was trapped here for two hundred years."
Birkang replied to Kota's question with a bitter face. He slowly walked towards the Guard.
"Like him."
Lightly punching Guard' chest with his left fist. He then turned back to Kota.
"This place, the time here is different from the world outside. We get old and die outside. But here, we get old yet not die because of it."
Kota was shocked by the things Birkang shared, it's truly a mysterious place.

In the treatment room, Kota sat in front of his pokemons.
They were laid on a machine which continuously provided boasts to their bodies.
"Did you create this entire lab alone?"
Asked Kota, he looked at Birkang on the machine controls.
"Not alone. Mew helped me."
There was some silence. Kota nodded his head and closed his eyes.
"Wait. Did you just say Mew?"
Asked Kota. Birkang from the controls nodded his head without looking at Kota.
"Guess I didn't tell you. This place is Mew's garden and he comes here to play with him."
Said Birkang, he increased the supply of energy to Kota' pokemons.
"Comes here to play? With him? Can you tell me in more detail?"
Said Kota with a serious face. Birkang sighed and stepped away from the controls.
"Well, how about we talk that over in cookie time?"
Suggested Birkang, Kota nodded his head and didn't insist anymore.

Years back___
On the sea, a small boat sailed against the strong waves and fast wind.
Each wave would push the boat away from its destination but the person on the boat wouldn't admit defeat.
He used all his strength to paddle the boat and achieve his goal.
The time went by as the person fought against the storm for days.
Many times he wanted to die but his dreams just won't let him.
"I can do it! For the people who will be born!"
Birkang grinded his teeth and clenched the paddle tightly.
Hungry and weak, Birkang was going towards his own death.
Once, suddenly a huge wave almost three times the height of an average Onix came.
Faced by this wave, Birkang dropped his paddle in the sea with real defeat.
He saw the grim reaper itself.
"I don't regret it! I did want I could! If I am dying, then let it be this way!"
Birkang shouted his words but due to the loud thunder and winds it was inaudible.
*Crush*
The entire boat and Birkang were gulped in the wave.
'So this is the feeling of death… it isn't that bad after all."
In the water, looking at the light coming from the surface, Birkang smiled.
His life slowly drifted away from his body but at the last moment.
Birkang saw a small cat like pokemon with a very long tail, almost double its own body.
'Mew'
That was the only thing he could remember, when his eyes opened on an island.
*Grm*
"Aahge!"
Birkang held his chest which pained unimaginably because of the impact from the huge wave.
"Hello?"
His ears heard a voice which sounded like a five year old girl.
"Mew!"
Turning to look at the source of the voice, Birkang was surprised.
Mew, a small, pink, psychic-type mythical pokemon. It is said to be the first pokemon.
"Does it hurt?"
Mew asked while petting on Birkang' chest with her long tail which then glowed in green light.
'What is this move?'
The pain was no more. Birkang felt like the injury never existed.
Not just the one on his chest, every single one on his body was healed.
"T-Thank you."
Birkang was unable to truly speak with this mythical pokemon which many tribes and religions prayed for.
It's like a dream.
*Grm*
The roar of the thunder woke Birkang out of his daze staring at the little pink pokemon.
"Where am I?"
Birthday got up and looked around but all his saw was thick forest and the deep blue sea.
*Grm*
"Follow me!"
Said Mew while floating before Birkang and leading him inside the forest.
"Wait. Slow down!"
Birkang voiced from behind Mew. He increased his pace to not get left by Mew.
They soon came to a place of ruins, Birkang was stunned as well as surprised.
"Is this place once a home of humans? How old is this place?"
Birkang inspected the bricks that made up the collapsed buildings.
"What are you looking at?"
Asked Mew, she came beside Birkang and looked at the bricks.
"Do you know this place? Why did you bring me here?"
Remembering that he last saw Mew while drowning in the sea, it's likely that Mew was the one to bring him here.
"You were dying. So I helped you like Pearl. Come, hurry! He is waiting!"
Mew insisted while grabbing one of the end of his sleeve and pulling him.
"Pearl? Who is he?"
Asked Birkang as he didn't resist Mew. They came to an old destroyed building.
"This… it can't be done by the storm right?"
Birkang stared at the huge cut that sliced the building in half.
"He is there!"
Her voice was becoming more and more happy as well as energetic.
Following Mew, Birkang walked in the open basement of the building.
There, a huge crystal was trapped on the wall. And in it was a strange humanoid pokemon.
"Meet Pearl! He is a great person!"
Mew introduced the pokemon inside the crystal with a happy smile on her face.
"N-Nice to meet you."
Birkang bowed to show some respect and was expecting a reply but…
There wasn't any.
"Can't he?"
Birkang pointed at the pokemon while looking towards Mew for an explanation.
"He is sleeping. Or is trapped. I don't know. It all happened because of Arceus."
Birkang was frozen in his spot, did he hear it right?
"You mean, Arceus trapped him in this crystal?"
Asked Birkang, Mew nodded his head and slowly floated near the crystal.
"Arceus was scared, scared that someone would learn the way to bring life. And Pearl was exactly the person. He just wanted to be a pokemon but was born in a human family."
Birkang saw the sad face of Mew, who slowly came down and sat on the ground.
*Grm*
The rain was increasing, but at least they were covered.
"H-He was a human!"
Realizing, Birkang stared at the pokemon inside the crystal once again.
His eyes wide open, he gulped in some saliva while his chest went up and down.
'For a human to become a pokemon! If others learnt about it, won't there be a war for this secret."
Birkang thought, he calmed himself down first of all to think with reasons.
"Mew, can you tell me? His story?"
