Now, here's where things began to get… Weird. I have no idea why he got boosted EXP, but I figured that was just what happened with Event Pokémon as it does with traded ones. I figured it would take a lot of time to raise him to level 20 like the other members of my team, but thanks to the fact he gained boosted EXP it barely took any time at all. My Mew was just as the event notice I had read described: Level 5 and only knew the move Pound.
I probably would not have been so happy if I had known how bad things were eventually going to get. The Mew's cry made me smile, as did the sight of its adorable little sprite floating along behind my character. Soon enough I was through training the rest of my team and proceeded to put Mew up front for battle. All my Pokémon needed to be at level 20 before I could start training my Mew, despite how badly I wanted to start its training. However the Mew would have to wait to be used, since I had a strict training regiment in place for my present team at the time I got the legendary. Just about the moment I got back in the house, I immediately went off to get my new Pokémon despite not being that big of a Pokémon fan anymore, the anticipation of receiving this rare and special bunch of data brought back some of the excitement I used to feel when I first started playing the games. I was at my sister's when I found out and was unfortunately without my DS at the time, so I had to wait until I was back at my dad's to receive my Mew. I had never in any of my Pokémon games come to own a Mew, given the Nintendo events for them had since past and I wasn't about to risk screwing up a game with the Mew glitch. When I found out there was a new event for HG/SS that allowed players to get a Mew, I was excited to say the very least.
