Chapter 148: Pokedex Upgrade And Team Rocket Trio's Plan To Steal Misty's Pokemon Egg

(On a bright and sunny day.)

(Mew and her friends arrive in the Pokemon Center of the small town.)

(At the front desk, Nurse Joy asks.)

Nurse Joy: "Is your name Mew?"

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)

Nurse Joy: "I have a message for you both,"

(Nurse Joy says, holding a card.)

Mew: "For me?"

(Mew replies.)

(She opens it to reveal moving pictures of Professor Oak.)

(The prerecorded voice says.)

Message: "Greetings, Mew! It's Professor Oak! Give me a call when you get the chance."

Mew: "It's from Professor Oak."

(Mew replies.)

(Then Misty says.)

Misty: "I guess it's been a while since you talked with him Mew. Why don't you give him a buzz?"

Mew: "Okay,"

(Mew says.)

(She dials on the phone and says.)

Mew: "I hope he's home."

(Then the professor instantly answers the phone.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "Hi, Professor Oak! It's Mew!"

Professor Oak: "Hello there, Mew! I suppose my message found its way to you,"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew replies.)

Professor Oak: "How is everyone?"

(Professor Oak asks.)

(Then spots Pikachu and Eevee.)

Professor Oak: "Say! Pikachu and Eevee sure are looking well."

Pikachu and Eevee: "Pikachu! Eevee!" (Thanks Professor!)

(Both Pokemon answer.)

(Then Misty says.)

Misty: "I'm fine, too!"

Tomo: "Me too!"

(Tomo happily says.)

Professor Oak: "I'm glad to hear it! Well, they say no news is good news, but I do wish you'd let me know how things are going now and then,"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "I know. We've been kinda busy,"

(Mew says.)

(Soon, Mew notices that Muk is trying to hug the professor.)

(Professor Oak quickly says.)

Professor Oak: "Come on! Cut that out!"

(Mew giggles and says.)

Mew: "My Muk seems to be doing okay."

Professor Oak: "Taking care of it hasn't been so easy,"

(Professor Oak says.)

(Then tries to get Muk off.)

Professor Oak: "Will you behave?!"

(Then turn to Mew.)

Professor Oak: "I hope the next Pokemon you send will be easier to manage."

Mew: "The only Pokemon I caught recently were Aerodactyl, Omanyte, and Kabuto,"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "That's right,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And each of us have fossils from Grandpa Canyon as well,"

(Brock says.)

Professor Oak: "Well, make sure the next ones aren't so mucky,"

(Professor Oak says.)

(Then gets covered by Muk.)

(Get quickly gets out and says.)

Professor Oak: "I almost forgot! Have you heard about the new Pokedex upgrade?"

Mew: "Pokedex upgrade? No,"

(Mew answers.)

Professor Oak: "Well, it's a new upgrade for trainers who are still considered beginners, regardless of how many badges or Pokemon that they have. Now you can get details on even more Pokemon information and discoveries, both past and recent,"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "Wow! How can I get it?"

(Mew says, interested.)

(Professor Oak points down.)

Professor Oak: "Just put your Pokedex into that slot, one at a time, and I'll do it. Once upgraded, your Pokedex will have an updated database, and even a new voice."

Mew: "Alright!"

(Mew says, and inserts her Pokedex.)

Mew: "I'm putting mine in right now."

(The Pokedex goes in and it quickly comes up.)

Professor Oak: "Okay, it's all done,"

(Professor Oak says.)

(Mew takes her Pokedex out, and says.)

Mew: "Thank you."

Professor Oak: "You're welcome. By the way, did I just hear that you all have Pokemon fossils?"

(Professor Oak replies.)

Misty: "We do. All four of us each have one,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And Mew caught three living Prehistoric Pokemon,"

(Brock adds.)

(Then Tomo happily says.)

Tomo: "And Charmeleon evolved into Charizard. And Misty has a new Egg."

Professor Oak: "My, sounds to me like you had quite a story to tell,"

(Professor Oak says.)

(Mew and the others explain to Professor Oak about what has happened in Grandpa Canyon and how Team Rocket has caused them problems, but everything is fine now.)

(Of course, the Professor is surprised that Mew has almost become Pokemon food, but glad Charizard is there to save her.)

Professor Oak: "That was an ordeal, I'm glad to see none of you were hurt,"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "We're glad too,"

(Mew says.)

Professor Oak: "Yes. Since you have Pokemon Fossils, I know a place where you can get them restored,"

(Professor Oak says.)

(This surprised the group.)

Mew: "Really?"

(Mew asks.)

Professor Oak: "Yes. There's a lab in Cinnabar Island that has a special machine that can restore Pokemon Fossils. I'm sure you can get your fossils restored there,"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "Sounds like a good idea,"

(Mew says.)

(Sometime later, Mew and her friends are having lunch at a restaurant and look at the map.)

(Misty points to a location on the map.)

Misty: "Here it is. Cinnabar Island. And it says that there's a gym there."

Brock: "We can get our fossils restored and Mew can have her gym battle."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Sounds like a great idea,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Let's go there!"

(Tomo says.)

(Mew then turns to Misty.)

Mew: "So Misty, how is your egg doing?"

Misty: "It's doing fine,"

(Misty says.)

(Then brings the egg out of her backpack.)

(She happily sighs.)

Misty: "I can't wait for it to hatch?"

Tomo: "When do you think that egg's gonna hatch?"

(Tomo asks.)

Misty: "Who knows?"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "I wonder what's going to come out of the egg,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "It's hard to tell, but I'm sure it will hatch to be a healthy Pokemon,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Maybe it will hatch into a Water Type Pokemon, like a Tentacool, or maybe even a Squirtle,"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Well, since it's found in Grandpa Canyon, it might even hatch into a Prehistoric Pokemon like Aerodactyl or an Omanyte,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "That's a possibility, too,"

(Brock says.)

Tomo: "Maybe it's a Kabuto,"

(Tomo says.)

Brock: "It could also be a Rock Type Pokemon,"

(Brock says.)

(Misty happily fantasizes.)

Misty: "Imagine if it were a lovely Lapras!"

Mew: "It could hatch into a Mythical or a Legendary Pokemon,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "That would be cool,"

(Tomo says.)

(Then Mew says.)

Mew: "However, we won't know what Pokemon it is until the little guy hatches."

Misty: "You're right,"

(Misty says.)

(While the gang ponders about what Pokemon that is in the egg and when it would hatch.)

(they are being spied on by Team Rocket.)

(They quickly hide in the employee egg.)

Meowth: "Did you hear that? They're hatching a new Pokemon!"

(Meowth says.)

James: "I'll bet it has to be a Dragonair or even a Dratini,"

(James thinks.)

Jessie: "No, no. It must be an Aerodactyl or a Kabuto,"

(Jessie replies.)

Meowth: "Whatever it is, we gotta get our hands on that egg. This could be the chance we've been waiting for!"

(Meowth says.)

Jessie: "Imagine when the boss hears we've captured a Pokemon,"

(Jessie says.)

Meowth: "He'll be shocked,"

(Meowth says.)

(But James says.)

James: "Don't forget, we haven't even succeeded in capturing that one little Pikachu from those kids! We have a proud tradition of failure to uphold!"

(Jessie then kicks James.)

Jessie: "Then you'll fail!"

Meowth: "And we'll win,"

(Meowth says.)

(Jessie and Meowth then whisper among themselves.)

(on how they plan to steal the egg, leaving James out of the loop as he tries to hear the conversation.)

(James cries out.)

James: "I can break tradition!"
