The entire Pokémon world was shaken.
"Mew… is actually the ancestor of all Pokémon?" In the ruins, Cynthia's beautiful eyes flashed with shock.
Such a small, adorable creature—
was the origin of all Pokémon that existed today?
Everyone looked at each other.
It was simply unbelievable.
The sense of contradiction was overwhelming.
Normally—
a Pokémon's strength was tied to its size and appearance.
Cute-looking Pokémon were usually just companions—
not particularly strong in battle.
In their minds—
a first-tier divine beast, the ancestor of all Pokémon—
should look like Groudon or Kyogre—
massive, imposing, and awe-inspiring.
…
Kanto Region, deep within Viridian Forest.
Inside Team Rocket's underground base.
Giovanni stared at Mew on the screen.
For the first time, even his usually emotionless face showed fluctuation.
So—
the ancestor of Pokémon possessed the genetic code of all Pokémon?
Wouldn't that mean—
Mew could accept any genetic material—
without conflict?
That it could perfectly integrate all genes?!
If…
if Mew were used as a test subject—
and its genes were edited—
then…
could he create an artificial divine beast?!
Giovanni's breathing grew heavier.
But soon—
the fire in his eyes dimmed.
Mew—
a first-tier divine beast—
ranked even above Giratina.
A being like that—
could probably destroy the entire world.
To use it for experiments?
That was nothing but a fantasy.
…
"So this thing is the origin of all Pokémon? All their genes come from it?" In another world, Corpse King Long You stared at Mew. His own blood had created the zombie race, but compared to Mew, it was nothing. This was a true divine being.
"The origin of all Pokémon… a being that created life itself…" In Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji muttered under his breath. He was the progenitor of all demons.
"This little thing is actually a first-tier divine beast—and the origin of all Pokémon? That's unbelievable…"
Across countless worlds—
everyone was stunned.
Truly—
appearances could be deceiving.
"It seems the protagonist of TOP 4… is Mew."
The video continued.
[Mew returned from the cosmos to the main world]
[At this time, Pokémon had already begun to thrive in the world. In this era, Pokémon were born directly in their initial forms, and each one was as massive as mountains]
[Different Pokémon species constantly engaged in battles]
[Mew intervened between species, stopping conflicts and calming wars]
Scenes unfolded one after another.
Mew repeatedly suppressed conflicts between Pokémon species.
[Mew particularly enjoyed helping humans, as they were also peace-loving and weak]
[Mew drove away Pokémon that threatened human tribes]
[Mew began to appear within human sight]
[Many ancient human tribes worshipped Mew as their guardian deity]
On screen—
humans were shown offering sacrifices to Mew.
The scenes shifted rapidly.
[Mew tirelessly traveled the world, ending conflicts]
[This continued until Pokémon lost their massive forms and no longer started in their final evolutions, instead evolving step by step]
[Mew left a profound mark on human history. In ancient times, it was humanity's guardian]
[After the great changes in the world, peace returned]
[After countless years of activity, Mew grew sleepy again and chose to rest in a human-built ruin]
The scene changed.
Inside a cave—
walls were carved with murals of Mew.
A stone altar stood at the center.
A place of worship.
But the humans who once lived there had long since migrated.
The place had been abandoned.
Mew curled up—
sleeping quietly atop the altar.
Peaceful.
Still.
While it slept—
time outside began to flow rapidly.
Scenes flashed by.
Countless races developed.
Humans grew stronger.
From weak and ignorant—
to beings capable of commanding Pokémon in battle.
Time passed—
who knew how long.
Eventually—
Mew awoke once more.
Yawning.
Stretching lazily.
Its psychic power spread outward—
sensing the current state of the world.
Seeing its prosperity—
it nodded slightly.
Then—
it vanished with Teleport.
But—
on the altar—
where Mew had slept for countless years—
something remained.
As the camera zoomed in—
everyone saw it clearly.
An eyelash.
A single eyelash—
shed during Mew's sleep.
From that moment—
the camera remained fixed on it.
Time continued to flow.
Endlessly.
Day and night passed.
Mountains shifted.
The land changed.
Gradually—
the cave and altar were buried beneath the earth.
Spring turned to autumn.
Flowers bloomed and withered.
Time carved its marks into everything.
No one knew—
whether a thousand years passed—
ten thousand—
or even longer.
Before everyone's eyes—
the eyelash began to weather.
Slowly—
it fused with the stone altar.
Until—
it became a fossil.
An eyelash fossil.
Everyone had just witnessed—
how a fossil was formed.
But this only deepened their confusion.
Why was the camera focused here for so long?
What was special about this eyelash?
Shouldn't the focus be on Mew?
Wasn't Mew the main subject of this ranking?
Had the video malfunctioned?
Just as doubt began to rise—
the scene shifted again.
Countless years later.
The eyelash had fully fossilized.
The cave lay buried deep underground.
"Is this the place?"
A human voice echoed.
The long-buried ruins—
were uncovered once more.
"This must be the ruins of Mew, the ancestor of Pokémon. Hopefully there's something left behind."
A group of people in white clothing stepped onto the altar.
They examined the fossil.
Scanning it with instruments.
"This is a fossilized eyelash of Mew!"
"We finally found it!"
"Hurry—take it back! The boss will be thrilled!"
Even through the screen—
their excitement was palpable.
As if this discovery—
was of immense significance.
Viewers across the dimensions were puzzled.
Were these archaeologists?
The group carefully extracted the fossil—
and stored it with great care.
Then—
they turned around.
Their faces finally became visible.
White uniforms.
On their chests—
a bold red letter:
R
…
Kanto Region.
Deep underground.
Inside Team Rocket's base—
Giovanni's pupils shrank violently.
He shot to his feet.
"This… this is Team Rocket's uniform?!"
