When we last left off, a Mew joined Mewthree and Lewis on their journey. They are headed towards Vermilion so Mewthree can get his third badge. Unfortunately...
    “We’re lost!” Lewis shouts to Mewthree.  “I know we’re lost, but it won’t take long to get there!   Have a map!” Mewthree replies.  “Ash Ketchum had a map and it took him weeks to get to Vermilion!” Lewis replies.  Mew flies up and says, “Why don’t we all just teleport to Vermilion?”  “Because to teleport there, I have to have been there.  None of us has ever been to Vermilion.” Mewthree replies.  Lewis, Mewthree, and Mew walked on.  Well, Mew floated.  After an hour, they got lost into a deep forest.  “Now we’re double lost!  Why did my life turn to a fork in the road when I left the future???” Lewis complains.  After clearing some shrubs in the way, Mew says, “Hey guys look!”  They come over and see large structure ahead of them.  “What’s a building doing out here in the middle of nowhere?” Lewis asks.  Mewthree goes over to a sign and reads it.  “It says it’s the Flying Baroness’s Gym.” Mewthree says.  “A gym?  I have no idea why it would be out here in the middle of nowhere.  But they might know the way to Vermilion.” Lewis says.  Mew floated up towards a sign on top of the Gym and read a sign.  “The reason they’re out here is because they’re trying to become an official Gym of the Pokemon League.  They need 154 more wins before they’re official.” Mew says.  “What do you mean, official?” Lewis asks.  “A Pokemon Gym that’s unofficial from the Pokemon League needs 1,000 victories before they’re allowed to give out their badge for needing to get through Victory Road.  Not many Gyms get this many and survive to subscribe to be an official Gym.” Mew replies.
    The three enter the gym and saw something unexpected.  A forest within the Gym.  Well, there was a cliff.  Several trainers were there as well.  They were playing the trees or feeding their Pokemon.  “Hello!  I’m here to challenge the Gym leader!” Mewthree shouts.  Two girls walk up and say, “We’ll take you to her.”  True to their word, the two lead Mewthree, Lewis, and Mew to a girl who was feeding a Pidgey.  All Mewthree, Lewis, and Mew could see was her back.  “Leader, this boy wishes to challenge you.” One of the girls said.  The girl turned around.  She was beautiful beyond Lewis’s dreams.  Mewthree noticed the beauty, but ignored it for the fact that he was still a Pokemon.  The girl was standing, smiling.  She had light brown hair in curls.  She was wearing glasses and had sparkling blue eyes.  She was wearing an outfit that was similar to an old WWII Red Baron outfit.  A brown leather jacket and brown jeans.  Also she was holding a flight helmet. “Welcome to my Gym, I hear you wish to challenge me?” she asks.  Before Mewthree could speak, Lewis pushed him aside and said, “HII’MLEWISHOWAREYOU?I’MFINEYOU’REVERYBEAUTIFULWOULDYOUGOOUTWITHME???”  He was speaking very fast and very loud.  Bridget didn’t understand a word he said except for the, “I’m Lewis” part.  Mew walked over to Mewthree and helped him up.  Mewthree began to speak again, but this time the Gym leader shoved him aside and said, “Hey!  What’s that Pokemon?  It’s cute!”  She was pointing at Mew.  She ran over to Mew, grabbed him, and nuzzled her face at Mew.  Instead of getting angry, Mew laughed!  “Mew!  She’s gonna be our enemy!” Mewthree says.  “I don’t care, I like her!” Mew laughs.  “Wow!  A Pokemon that can talk, not many of those!” the girl says.
    The girl introduced herself as Bridget.  She said she was ready to battle anytime.  Mewthree and Bridget walked to the stadium of the gym.  Several trainers of the gym sat down in the audience, watching.  Lewis also sat there.  Mew floated around.  “I refuse to lose, so here’s a clue, Parasect! I choose you!” Mewthree says in his battle phrase.  Parasect comes onto the field.  “And I choose as my Pokemon, Fearow!” Bridget replies.  Fearow came out of its pokeball and flew around.  “Parasect!  Take that thing down with a Spore!” Mewthree commands.  “Fearow, blow the spore back with a Whirlwind!” Bridget shouts.  Fearow flaps its wings hard and blows the spore straight back at Parasect, who falls asleep.  “Return Parasect!  I refuse to lose, so Venonat it’s all up to you!” Mewthree shouts.  Venonat comes out of its pokeball and stands below Fearow.  “Fearow!  Take it down with a fury attack!” Bridget shouts.  Fury blasts were firing at Venonat, but Venonat was quick and evaded them.  “Venonat!  Counter attack with a Psybeam!” Mewthree shouts.  Venonat fires a Psybeam at Fearow who immediately faints. “Return, Fearow.  You’re good, but not good enough for, Pidgeot!  Go!” Bridget shouts.  The giant bird came out of its pokeball and flew over the now frightened Venonat.  “Venonat!  Use your Psybeam!” Mewthree shouts. Venonat fires another Psybeam, this time at Pidgeot, but Pidgeot evades it! “Now Pidgeot, fight back with a mirror move!  Use Psybeam!” Bridget shouts. Pidgeot fires a Psybeam at Venonat, and Venonat gets knocked back to Mewthree, badly beat up.  Mewthree holds Venonat and asks it if it’s alright.  Venonat nods, but barely.  “There’s a Pokemon center just a few yards from here.  Get your Pokemon healed and try again next time.” Bridget says.
    “It’s not fair!  I have two badges and I beat a member of the Elite 4, and I’m beaten by an unknown Gym leader???” Mewthree shouts.  “Don’t be upset, her flying type was just better than your bug type.  You should use me in your next battle, master.” Mew says.  “I would, but I want to prove that I can beat her flying Pokemon!  But, my bug Pokemon don’t stand a chance against something as large as Pidgeot.  I have to find a way to beat that Pidgeot!” Mewthree says.  “If you had a Venomoth it would be large enough to fight Pidgeot.” Mew says.  “But I don’t want Venonat to evolve by fighting so many battles!” Mewthree replies.  “Um, actually, there is another way to evolve Venonat...” Lewis says as he searches his bag.  “How?” Mewthree asks. Lewis pulls out a box.  He opens it, and there are lots of golden wrapped candies with an, “R” on it.  “What are those?” Mewthree asks.  “They’re called Rare Candies.  I’ve collected them for a time.  They increase Pokemon’s level.  This should be more than enough to evolve Venonat.” Lewis says.  Mewthree calls out Venonat.  “I don’t want to force Venonat to evolve...  But I want to beat Bridget...  Venonat, what do you want to do?” Mewthree asks.  Venonat looks at the Rare Candies, then at Mewthree.  Then he looks at Mew.  He walks over to Mew and says, “Nat, Ven Ven Nat!  Nat Ven Ven Ven Nat.”  “What’s he saying, Mew?” Lewis asks.  “He’s giving me options and a question.  He wants to beat Pidgeot, but he doesn’t want to use Rare Candies.  He wants me to use my Psychic abilities to enhance his level to evolution level.” Mew replies.  “Except, I don’t have that power.” Mew finishes.  Venonat then speaks some more.  “It says it’s willing to battle Pidgeot again.  As a Venonat.” Mew says.  “Venonat, you’ll get beat up again!  But, oh well...  I’ll support any move you make, Venonat.” Mewthree says.
    Mewthree, Lewis, and Mew reappeared in the stadium.  “Ready to lose again, little boy?  Your bugs won’t defeat me!” Bridget says with a laugh.  “This time we’re ready for you, a two on two battle!” Mewthree replies.  “Agreed, Golbat go!” Bridget shouts.  “I will not lose again, Beedrill offer a hand to lend!” Mewthree says in another one of his battle chants.  Beedrill and Golbat looked at each other.  “Golbat!  Take that thing down with a supersonic attack!” Bridget orders.
    Golbat fired a powerful sound blast at Beedrill, and at everything else. Everyone was holding their ears in pain as the loud sound reached them. “Beedrill!  Fight back with twinneedle!” Mewthree shouts.  Beedrill snapped out of his confusion and rammed his two needles into Golbat which knocked it to the ground.  “Return Golbat!  That’s a powerful Beedrill, but it still doesn’t stand a chance against...  Pidgeot!  Go!” Bridget shouts.  “Return, Beedrill!  Venonat go!” Mewthree shouts.  Venonat’s and Pidgeot’s eyes each other.  “Venonat!  Try to take it down with Leech life!” Mewthree shouts. Venonat jumped into the air and tried to bite Pidgeot.  “Pidgeot, counter attack with wing attack!” Bridget shouts.  Pidgeot rammed into the approaching Venonat which knocked it to the ground.  Venonat got back up and fired several Psybeams at Pidgeot.  Only one hit.  “Pidgeot!  Take it down with a Whirlwind!” Bridget shouts.  Pidgeot flapped its wings and Venonat was sent flying into a wall.  Venonat still got up.  Steadily, but it got up.  “Pidgeot!  Ram into it!” Bridget commands.  Pidgeot rams into Venonat and Venonat was on the ground, but it was trying to get up.  “One more ram!” Bridget shouts.  Pidgeot flew down to ram Venonat once more.  “Venonat!  Get out of the way!” Mew shouts.  “Quick Venonat!” Lewis shouts.  “Venonat! Look out!” Mewthree shouts.  Venonat heard the last one.  It jumped into the air, and Pidgeot hit the ground hard.  “Hey what!” Bridget shouts with surprise.  Venonat landed and its eyes glowed.  “Now Venonat!  Keep using Bide!” Mewthree shouts with a smile.  “What???” Bridget shouts.  “I acquired a TM called Bide!  It’s absorbing all the energy you punch at it!” Mewthree shouts.  “It won’t help it if it faints!  Pidgeot!  Take it down with a Quick attack!” Bridget replies.  Pidgeot quickly rams into Venonat once more.  Its entire body was glowing now.  Venonat jumped up from the energy, and awaited its master’s command.  “Venonat!  Unleash the Bide energy!” Mewthree shouts.  Venonat fires a powerful blast as powerful as a hyper beam straight at Pidgeot.  As the dust settles, Venonat lands, and Pidgeot it fried.  “Unbelievable!  A bug type beat me!” Bridget shouts with surprise. Mewthree runs onto the stadium and hugs his wonderful Venonat.
    Once again, Mewthree, Lewis, and Mew continue on their journey.  Well, with one change...  “Um, why is Bridget following us?” Lewis asks.  Bridget runs up and says, “I’m tired of staying around in my gym.  My trainers can handle it there.  I wanna come around with you guys!” she says.  “This is turning into the life of Ash Ketchum, but it’s parodied.  Oh well, the more the merrier!” Mewthree says.
    I hope they don’t try to look on their map for Vermilion again, or they may never get there!

To Be Continued…
