Sunset Shimmer wake up in the middle of a beautiful grass field. She suddenly feel something on her belly, like if an animal was on her. She get up and look around her.

”Where am i? She asked to herself. I am definitively not in my chamber anymore...I bet Rainbow Dash or Applejack must have play to me some kind of joke...”

She feel behind her the presence of something and she turn her head. But she see nothing and decide instead to explore the place. She walk for a while, with the impression someone was following her. That feeling was becoming intense with the time passing.

”Something is definitively spying on me, she thought. Is that something invisible? Maybe...”

She almost have an heart attack when a creature appear in front of her, smiling.

“Mew!!!” said the little creature.

Sunset fall on her butt and look at the creature. She deduce that was the presence she was feeling behind her.

“Mew?” said the creature, when it came closer of Sunset.

“No, i am Sunset Shimmer, she answered. What are you?”

The Pokemon don’t answer.

“Oh, you can’t speak like me, she said. Well, can i touch you?”

The pokemon agree without hesitation and came close enough of her so she could touch the cute creature. She read its memories and learn that the Pokemon was called Mew. She also learn everything about the nature of this world.

“Thank you, Mew, she said. I understand everything, now. And yes, i am sort of a psychic”

Mew read at his turn Sunset’s memories and see the kindness, bravery, determination and love she demonstrated.

“Mew!!” said Mew.

“Did you just read my memories too?” she asked.

The pokemon answer by an affirmative head sign.

“So, you understand what i said?” she asked.

Mew answer also by another affirmative head sign.

“Can you talk our language? She asked. At least, speak by telepathy?”

The Pokemon make an negative head sign.

“That suck, she said. I would have asked you why you were following me...”

Mew teleport away and come back 2 second later with piece of paper and a pencil. I start to write and and show what he wrote on it to her. That was some kind of Japanese language, but fortunately for her, she took Japanese language classes (i know, Sunset don’t speak Japanese, but this is a fan fiction after all, so why not?) and the paper was saying: «I followed you because I love kind-heart humans. I see in your heart you were nice, kind, loving and understand the value of a friendship»

“I owe what i became today to a friend who showed my the path of good” she said.

Mew continue writing on a another piece of paper and show it to her. The message was saying «Do you want to be my friend?».

“Sure, answered Sunset. I would love having somebody on my sides in this new world. I accept your friendship, Mew”

The pokemon make a scream of happiness and hug Sunset with his little hands. Then, he find a place in her backpack.

“So, can you bring me in the nearest town in the region, Mew?” asked Sunset.

Mew’s answer was to teleport her at the entrance of a town called Pallet Town. She thank him and the pokemon smile back to her. Sunset enter in the town and is surprised by the beauty of it. This place was so quiet, shiny and full of colors. Her exploration of this place lead her to notice there was not a lot of humans living here. She also get to see a lot of these creatures called Pokemons. Some of them had bird-like features, other looked like cats or dogs, mouses, rats, bugs and humans.

“Wow, there is so much diversity in this world” she said.

She suddenly hear a help scream coming from the north. She rush immediately in direction of the scream and see a man running from a swarm of giant Wasp-like creatures. Without hesitation, she decide to enter in communication with them and touch one. She could see in the pokemon memory that the man in question was a scientist who accidentally step of one of their cocoons and angered them. She then share with the angry creature positive emotions and is able to calm it. The giant wasp look at Sunset and told to the others to return home. The swarm disappear in a minute and the man, him, was breathing heavily.

“Are you okay, she asked. Are you hurt or something?”

The man get up and look at her.

“I am fine, thank to you, young woman, said the man. Even if you have decades of experience with the Pokemons, you can always made a mistake. How did you calm this swarm of Beedrills?”

“Hum, Persuasive powers?” she answered

“Hum, This species of Pokemon mostly follow their instincts, said the man. They are very aggressive and only berries or honey can calm them. Did you have by chance these things on you?”

“Well, not exactly, she answered. I am...”

Mew make a berry appear in her hand and show it to the scientist.

“Oh, these berries are their favorite sort!! Said the man. They love them so much and i understand how you calm them. What is your name, young and courageous woman?”

“My name is Sunset...Sunset Shimmer, she answered. I know, this is a strange name...”

“Not at all, said the man. It clearly represent you perfectly. You can call me Professor Oak.”

“Nice to meet you, Professor Oak!” she said.

The professor bring her to his laboratory.

“This place is like my home, he said. I do all my researches here. This is also a home for a lot of pokemons, wild or owned by other trainers who trust me to keep them safe.”

Oak take a strange device and give it to Sunset.

“This is a Pokedex, he said. This masterpiece of technology contain the information of all the pokemons in the world, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Shinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola and Galar. That include their shiny forms, all the data on mega-evolution, their types and a lot more. I can thank Ash for that....He he!”

“Really? She asked. Wow!!”

The professor show her how to use it and hold the Pokedex in front of a dragon-like pokemon. A voice coming from the Pokedex suddenly speak

“Charizard, the Flame Pokemon, said the device. He is a Fire and Flying type. This pokemon is the final evolution of Charminder. Charizard’s firebreath is so hot it can reach a temperature beyond 3000°C. This pokemon is also known to be a fierce fighter in battles, making him a companion of choice for the trainers who want to be talented pokemon trainers. This pokemon also possess two different mega-evolution and a Gigantimax form”

“Charizard is originally a pokemon from the Kanto region, said Oak. But its popularity spread worldwide and so, i knew i had to update its description. Same for the rest of them. But lets speak about the reason of your presence here. Why did you came to Pallet Town?”

“Well, i was lost, to be honest and i just entered the first town i saw, she answered. Also, i could be interested to become a pokemon trainer...”

“Well, if you say so, i can help you to start your carrier of trainer, said the Professor. First is to decide which of these 8 region attract you the most?”

“Hum, maybe if you describe them, i could be able to make a choice...” said Sunset.

Oak begin to explain the main attractions of each regions. At the end of his explanations, Sunset was attired by 3 regions: Galar, Kalos and Alola. Galar was attractive to her due to it’s technological advances, Alola was described as a paradise and Kalos was described as being culturally and socially developed.

“Hum, i think i will go with...Kalos, she said. I don’t know why, but my intuition told me to go to Kalos...”

“Then, i will contact Sycamore, he said. He his is the Pokemon professor of the Kalos region. I will tell him of you arrival, beside, you will need some pokeballs in your adventure.”

The professor gave her a pack of Pokeballs, explaining to her how to use them.

“When you will arrive at Kalos, said Oak, go to that address, this is where you will find Sycamore. Now, this is time to go at the airport. Maybe i can help you get here...”

“Hum, thank you, Professor, she said. But you don’t need to do that...”

“And why not?” asked the professor, perplexed.

For answering to his question, Sunset make a goodbye sign and then disappear instantly from the laboratory

“Did she just...Teleported? Thought Oak. Meh, certainly a psychic pokemon...”

Sunset reappear in the toilets of the airport. She immediately notice she was in the men side of the toilets when she heard two talking near to her. She told to Mew to teleport her in the women toilets. The pokemon laugh and obey to her request. Sunset then leave the women bathroom and walk in direction of the ticket stand. But then....

”Oh shit! I forget i don’t have money for a fly ticket, she thought. Wait, i have psychic powers!! Maybe i can persuade someone to buy me one!! No, i can’t do that, this is bad! What else can i do? Prostitution? Hell no!! Stealing a ticket? Not an option, Maybe use Mew’s teleportation powers to get in the plane? I am sure this is illegal...”

Mew use his powers to make him and Sunset disappear from the airport. They reappear in the middle of a beautiful place that she immediately associate being Mew’s home. A lot of toys and various objects was standing around her.

“Why did you bring me here?” asked Sunset to Mew

The pokemon don’t answer, but instead bring back to her a beautiful object. The object was a beautiful gemstone of an incredible size. Mew put it in her hands and smile to her.

“You...This is so kind of you, Mew, she said. Are you really sure you really want to give it to me? I can find another way to get money who won’t be illegal or immoral.”

She see that her friend was not going to return on his decision and accept the gift of Mew.

“Thank you, she said. I am so grateful of your gift. But told me, where did you find a gemstone of that size, did you stole it?”

Mew make a negative head sign. He use his psychic powers to share his memories of how he found that gemstone. She learn that it was a gift coming from a person Mew liked a lot. The fact that mew gave to her something so important for him make her cry of emotion. Mew, for answer, cuddle against her face to make her smile. That sign of affection was the official sign of their new friendship. So, Sunset and Mew go to a jeweler with the intention of selling it for money. The owner told her that this gem was worth more than the money he possessed. He make a deal with her and propose to give her half of is money with 6 items of her choice in his shop. She is attracted by a beautiful necklace with a rainbow colored stone on it.

“Oh, this is a Keystone, said the Jeweler. This gem is one of the 3 things needed in order to use the Mega-Evolution. If you want it, it is yours. The second thing needed to mega-evolve a Pokemon is a Mega-gemstone. Let me give you 3 of my collection.”

The jeweler give her 3 Mega-gemstones and told her the name of the pokemons they were destined: One was a Metagrossite, the second was a Gardevoirite and the last was an Alakazamite. The man also give her a Dawn Stone and a Dusk Stone. Sunset take the money and the items and put them in her bag and leave the store.

“Well, I am sure these objects will get useful someday, she said. For the moment, we have a plane for Kalos to take!!”

The two friends disappear by teleportation. But they didn’t notice they were observed by a Pokemon, this pokemon was following them for a while. It was white and Purple with cat and human-like traits and a long tail.

”Hum, I see that you restarted to frequents humans, Mew, said the pokemon. I should maybe keep an eye on you and also on that girl. I feel in her something...different from the others humans of this world, i must learn more about that.”

Then it disappear at his turn.
