Last time, Mewthree wasted Lance and became a Pokémon master.  At a devastating cost, however.  Lickitung was crushed by Lance’s Dragonite when it fell.  Mewthree rushed Lickitung to the Pokémon center, and awaits for the verdict.
    Mewthree was in tears.  Why had be been so foolish?  He should’ve recalled Lickitung right as soon as Dragonite was defeated.  Because of his foolishness, Lickitung was suffering the consequences.  Nurse Joy walked out with a smile on her face.  “Your Lickitung is alright.  All the fat stored to help its tongue go extra lengths helped it.  Lickitung has to stay in the center for another month, then it can be returned to you.” She said. Mewthree got up and hugged Nurse Joy.  He was overjoyed.  He began running around and shouting that Lickitung was going to make it!  “Maybe we shouldn’t have convinced him to catch Lickitung.” Mew says.
    Mewthree, Lewis, Bridget, and Ron walked through the Viridian Forest to the bug gym.  “You live in an unofficial gym too?” Ron asked.  “That’s right. Icy’s very special.  I used to only train bug type.” Mewthree replies. Suddenly, a Weedle rolled onto the path in front of them!  “A Weedle!  I’m gonna catch it!” Ron said, pulling out a pokéball.  Suddenly, 10 Caterpies jumped out and surrounded the Weedle.  They all started tackling the Weedle! The Weedle screamed in pain.  “Hey!  You Caterpies knock it off!” Mewthree shouts.  All the ten Caterpies turned around.  These Caterpie looked... Evil!  They had warlike painting on their faces!  The Caterpies jumped up to attack out heroes!  Suddenly, 20 Weedles jumped out and string shot two Caterpies!  The rest of the Caterpies ran off.  The Weedles went over and helped the injured Weedle up.  A Weedle crawled over to Mew and said, “Weed weed weedle!  Weedle weed.”  “Weedle says that they want us to follow them.” Mew says.  The Weedles led them to a colony of Weedles.  A lot of them were injured.  Bridget and Lewis walked over and gave them potions.  The Weedle talked to Mew some more.  “Weedle says that this is some new Pokémon gang. They were at peace with a Caterpie colony when all of a sudden they just went insane!  They put war paint on their faces, and they started viciously attacking the Weedles, Kakunas, and Beedrills.  All the Kakuna and Beedrill are dead, so there are no more left to help the others evolve and make them stronger.” Mew explains.  “We have to end this war now!” Ron says.  Mewthree pulled out two pokéballs.  “Butterfree, Beedrill go!” Mewthree shouts.  A few of the Weedles were scared of the Butterfree, until it started using Psychic powers to heal them.  Beedrill tended to some of the Weedles.  All of a sudden, Caterpies and Butterfree started jumping out everywhere!  The Weedles were scared, and so were out heroes.  Then, one large Butterfree floated down.  It was black!  To everyone’s surprise, it spoke!  “We are here to claim victory over this Weedle society!” it shouted.  “Why!  Why do you have to resort to killing them???” Mewthree shouts.  “For years, humans have believed that Weedles are superior to Caterpies, and Beedrill to Butterfree.  They have no wanting for Caterpie anymore, so we’re making it look right!  We are superior!” the Butterfree shouts.  Beedrill flew in front of the Butterfree.  “So, a Beedrill.  The death of this Beedrill will prove that we are superior!” Butterfree shouts.  The Butterfree charged up, and fired a psybeam straight at Beedrill!  The beam knocked Beedrill into a tree, shattering it and creating a lot of smoke.  “Ha ha hahahahahahahaha!” the Butterfree laughed.  Well, it laughed until a psybeam shot straight out of the smoke and into the Butterfree!  Beedrill flew out, using focus energy.  The Butterfree released stun spore at the Beedrill, but Beedrill used its needles to clear away the stun spore.  Beedrill rammed right into the Butterfree!  The Butterfree fired another psybeam, knocking Beedrill back a little, but Beedrill responded by firing a psybeam back!  The Butterfree fell down, and some Caterpie saved it from hitting the ground, and the Caterpie fled.  “Good work, Beedrill!  I think we should be going.” Mewthree says.  Beedrill put his head down and said something to Mew. “Beedrill says he can’t go with you.” Mew says.  “What???” Mewthree demanded.  “He says that the Caterpie and Butterfree will be back, and they’ll bring better forces.  He has to move the Weedles to a safer location and help them evolve.  It’s going to take time.” Mew says.  Beedrill started lifting the Weedles with his mind, and started floating away, waving to them all.  There were tears in everyone’s eyes.  Mewthree put his head down, and remembered all the times he had with Beedrill.  The first thought of was how he remade the pokéball, and threw it at a Weedle, catching it.  His next thought was of his battle with the trainer in the Viridian Forest gym.  He remembers teaching Weedle to psybeam the Pidgeotto.  Then, he remembered defeating the Mankey a few days later.  Then the thought was of his fight with Onix with Weedle.  His next thought of was using Weedle against Starmie, having it faint.  Then, he the other battle with Starmie, with Weedle’s string shot.  He then remembered Weedle encasing himself with string shot, evolving him into Kakuna.  Then, he remembers the battle with Mew against Kakuna.  He saw the Mew shatter Kakuna’s casing, evolving Kakuna into Beedrill.  He then saw Beedrill firing a powerful Psybeam at Golbat, frying it.  Then he saw Beedrill firing a fury attack at Blaine’s Archanine. He saw Archanine evade it, and saw Beedrill fire a Psybeam at Archanine, fainting it.  He then saw Machamp seismic tossing Beedrill, but Beedrill countered with a confusion attack.  He saw Haunter approaching Beedrill to lick it, only to see a psybeam fire at its face.  He finally saw Beedrill firing a Psybeam/pin missile attack at Dragonair, wasting it.  He then remembered Beedrill psybeam Mewthree, in rage because of Dragonair.  His final memory was of the last battle, with Butterfree and Beedrill.  He looked up and saw Beedrill almost out of view, with tears in Mewthree’s eyes.  He waved up and shouted, “Bye bye Beedrill!  Come back someday!  I love you Beedrill!  I’ll always be your best friend!”  Beedrill looked back, and Beedrill too, had tears in its eyes.
    Ron, Mewthree, Lewis, Mew, and Bridget stood there.  “Let’s make a vow.” Mewthree said.  “What kind of vow, master?” Mew asked.  “A vow that no matter what, we’ll always be best friends till the end.” Mewthree replies. Mewthree put out his fist.  “Friends forever?” he asked.  Lewis put down his hand on Mewthree’s.  “Friends forever.” He said.  Mew put his paw on the two’s hands and said, “Friends forever.”  Bridget put her hand down and also said, friends forever.  Ron looked at the hands, and then at Beedrill flying away.  He put his hand down and said, “Friends forever.”  Mewthree pushed all the hands up to the air and shouted, “Till the end!”
