7.19.460 - Driving Without An Atlas

oh, give her six more months -- you don't even know how hard she can fraternize with a variant

Clara: You have disobeyed me again, and come back to this accursed place! On top of that, fraternizing with a variant. I am furious with you, Myu! Myu: I-it wasn't that bad! They… Clara: Not that bad? You left the egg alone where anyone could find it! Do you understand how dire that would be? You never think of the consequences before acting— the very moment you have an idea, you zip off without thinking it through. Now I shall have to make sure they do not get the local magistrate snooping around here!

7.15.456 - Engine Startled

well? go ahead, start dismantling the engine

Joy: You do? Myu: Yes. I… do. It… runs in the family. It's a mew thing. We just work on these… cars all day long. So I-I could just take a look for you. And fix it. Joy’s Dad: Fix our… belt? Myu: Y-yep! I can do that! Just wait here, and I’ll… do it! (Myu moves out of view and looks under the hood. She pauses at the complexity of it.) Myu: Ah… Hahh… Ohh… Oh stars, this is a lot more complicated than I thought. Maybe if I…

huh? yeah okay

Joy’s Dad: (aside) Is that one of those rare species scientists on the news were lookin' for a couple years ago? Joy’s Mom: (to Myu) Where are your parents? You’re not out here all by yourself, are you? Myu: W-well, I, um… Joy’s Dad: We could give her a ride back into town and see if we can find someone who knows her. Joy's Mom: The people at the museum might wanna take a look at her. Myu: N-no, wait! I… I… (She glances back toward the forest.) Myu: … I know about fixing cars!

7.13.454 - A Couple of Cards

making joy's parents adopt a random new child just like steven and roxanne

Fox Mage TCG art by Woo

Joy: This is Fox Mage. It has ninety HP and does seventy damage. Myu: Not… Delphox? Joy: They're all made up things. Myu: Wow… My mother would never approve. Things always need to have a set order. (Joy's parents are peering under the hood of the car. Joy’s mother is a hisuian typhlosion and her father is an ampharos.) Joy’s Mother: It’s not the best news… I think it’s a worn belt. We could probably make it to town, but it’d be better to wait for help. Joy: Hey, Mom! Look at my new friend! Joy’s Mom: What?? Joy, where did this kid come from? Joy: She came up to the car. Look, I showed her my Monster Cards!

Joy: Whooooa! You can change your body?! Are you a zorua? I’ve heard of those! Myu: Um, I'm a mew. That's spelled differently than my name. Joy: That's really cool! I can only make my fur do this, watch— (She uses electricity to make her hair frizz out. Myu laughs.) Myu: D-does this mean we’re… friends now? Joy: Oh yeah, we can be friends! Hey, do you collect Monster Cards?? Myu: U-um, no? (Joy gets something out from the car and illuminates it with her electricity so Myu can see.) Joy: Look at this.

7.11.452 - Mewvin' Right Along

speaking on the title, i do WISH there was a bit of road trip energy going on here. just a bit.

Myu: Um… I don’t go to school. But I’ve always wanted to. Joy: Whaaaat? You don’t go to school? Lucky! I have a math test next week, and I think I’m gonna fail. (She gets out of the car.) Joy: I’m Joy! Who are you? Myu: I’m… Myu. Joy: Ha! That’s a funny name for a dragon! Myu: I-is it? (Beat) U-um, I'm not… really a dragon. (Joy looks perplexed, then Myu reveals her true form.)

7.10.451 - Modes of Transportation

she didn't think she'd get this far

Myu: Haah… Okay… I can do this. I-it’s just other people… N-no need to be nervous… (She peeks out around the trunk.) Myu: U-um… (The flaaffy is brought to attention by this and finally sees her.) Joy: Whoa! Where’d you come from? Are you with the insurance company? Myu: Erm, I… No? I don’t know what that is. What’s this vehicle you’re in? How does it work? Where were you going? Why did you stop? Joy: Oh, this is just my mom’s car. They were picking me up from school today ‘cause it was an early out day, and then we had dinner together at my favorite restaurant, and then… Well, but then the car started making this weird noise, so my mom and dad are checking it. What school do you go to? Myu: S-school?

that's the last time Topaz will ever listen to orders

(Myu spots a car on the side of the road.) Myu: Oh my stars! I’ve never seen one stop before! (She pulls back into the bush.) Myu: … Mother would never approve. But… Well, she's not here right now. One close look can't hurt. (to the egg) S-stay right here! I’ll be back!

7.7.448 - Roads Away From Home

inb4 someone goes "WTF HOW ARE THERE CARS IN THE POKEMON WORLD?!"

(Myu peers out at a stretch of highway where several cars are driving by. She takes a moment to breathe in deeply.) Myu: Haah… It’s always amazing. I can feel all those people… I wonder where they’re all going? How do they use those things, anyway?

Myu: … I could go to the highway. I-it’s not that far away, and I could certainly be back before Mother notices I’m gone! Of course, I can’t just leave you here by yourself… (Cut suddenly to Myu flying through the forest, holding the egg in her psychic magic.) Myu: Yahoo!! Heehee! Well, Mother did say to keep a close eye on you!

7.5.446 - The Protective Shell

i guess some things were not meant to be questioned

Clara: Everything I do, I do for your wellbeing. Please, know that I do not do this out of malice. You are my pride and joy. Do you understand? Myu: … Yes, Mother. Clara: Very good. Now, I must complete my rounds around the perimeter. Make sure to keep a close eye on your sibling. (She leaves. Myu flops over and stares at the egg.) Myu: I wish you were here already. At least then I’d have someone to talk to. I just wish… there was somewhere I could go. Somewhere where there’s more people. (The egg, naturally, says nothing.)

7.4.445 - Shadow of the Doubt

no one wants their only friend to be their mom

Myu: Mother? Clara: What is it, dear? Myu: Why can’t we let people see us? Clara: I have already told you this many times. Myu: No, but, really why?? We’re pokemon like everyone else, aren’t we? We’re not different! Why should everyone else get to meet other people, and make friends, and—! Clara: I said, that is enough, Myu! Myu: I-it’s not fair! Clara: Many things in life are not fair. We did not ask to be born the way that we are, nor did we ask for the trouble it brings… (She notices how down Myu looks.) Clara: Stardrop, listen…

7.3.444 - Parent Untrapped

so when do we find out myu's mom died getting hit by a car?

Myu: You’re worried about people thinking we’re strange! People don’t see pokemon like us often, I understand that! But we can shapeshift! So if we move into a town as one thing, and then slowly start letting our true forms be seen—! Clara: Enough. Myu: But, Mother, please— Clara: Myu, we have this conversation more often than I would like. My decision is final, as it has been the last several times. Myu: Uuuuugh… (She flops onto the ground.) Clara: Be respectable, Myu. Set an example for your sibling. Myu: They can’t see me! Clara: But they can hear you. So behave! And quit your grumbling. It is unbecoming.
