You gasped and stopped struggling in her grip. You were surprised that you could understand her. “Did you just talk?” you asked.
“I did,” she said. Her voice was incredibly soft and quiet, and gave you the impression that she was a gentle Pokemon—which was good, since you were the size of a doll compared to her right now. “I can communicate with humans. But I rarely do. I prefer to keep to myself, staying in the darkness...”
Marshadow looked out the entrance of the cave, then turned around and began to walk deeper, carrying you in her fist. You realized the cave led to a tunnel, and the only light came from Marshadow’s glowing orange eyes.
“Can you please let me go?” you asked, repeating your request from before. “I’m scared! Where are you taking me?”
“Please don’t be afraid,” Marshadow said. She brought up her other hand and gently started petting your head, which calmed you down a bit. “I won’t hurt you. I’m simply taking you somewhere safe. I live deep in these caves. Nobody will hurt you here.”
You shivered in her grip as you were carried deeper into the dark cave. “Why are you helping me?” you asked Marshadow.
“I always help humans,” she said. “I don’t wish to see them hurt. But I also don’t want to be discovered by them, so I help them from the shadows. I had to reveal myself to you, however. When I saw a tiny, fragile human in my cave, I knew you could die if I left you alone, so I decided to pick you up and take you with me.”
You felt a bit better as you heard this. It seemed like Marshadow really was gentle, like her voice suggested, and you felt honored that this secretive Pokemon chose to reveal herself to you just so that she could help you.
“Thank you for saving me,” you said. “I really need help now. I used to be normal size, but about ten minutes ago, I met a Mew, and she shrunk me. She told me to find her, so I guess she’ll turn me back to normal if I can do that.”
“Mew?” Marshadow said. Her grip tightened around you a bit. “I know her. I don’t like her. She causes lots of problems.”
“You know her? Do you think you can help me track her down? I need to get back to normal size!”
