(A Mewsian in a bubble.
Source: Web)
Brahma, the God who created this amazing race, soon realized that the Mewsians must be eliminated in favor of the much weaker race known as the humans. The humans had limited abilities and the only way they could rival the Gods was by obtaining the weapons only Gods were able to possess. Brahma consulted with Shiva and Vishnu and they all came to the same conclusion that someone needed to take out the Mewsians fearing one day they could be overthrown. With Shiva being the God of destruction he volunteered to be the one who would be responsible for the mass genocide of such a great and peaceful race. Shiva said goodbye to his fellow Gods and the other two could tell he didn't want to kill the Mewsians.
Shiva quickly reached Mewsia and laid waste to the entire island to get it over with. The Mewsians stood no chance against Shiva and with one fell swoop of his Trishula he killed the entire race. None of the Gods could look upon the horror of what had happened to realize that one had survived the powerful attack. The one remaining Mewsian was known as Mew for he was the King of the Mewsians. Not only was he the King but he was also the most powerful of them all. Shiva knew this information and a part of him couldn't see this entire race be completely taken off the face of the Earth.
Right before Shiva struck the island he warned Mew and commanded him to quickly dig deep into the earth and Shiva would spare him. All Mew had to do to survive was embed his body in the Earth and then use his physic powers to form an impenetrable bubble that not even Shiva would be able to break. A combination of the powerful bubble and the tons of dirt around him protected him from the attack. It all happened so fast and it is believed that in this moment Mew shed the first tear of his long life.

After Shiva laid waste to the land he looked for the one Mewsian he spared. Mew was nowhere to be found and Shiva feared that he killed him by accident. To Shiva's surprise the god Ravana was fleeing the scene and he had Mew with him. Shiva's powers were weak so all he could do was watch as Ravana flew away with the one Mewsian he spared.
Shiva returned to Brahma and Vishnu to tell them that he couldn't live with himself if he killed the entire race so he ended up sparing King Mew. Brahma and Vishnu responded in sync with one another saying, "We understand, Shiva. We know your heart and we knew you couldn't let them all die. We didn't stop you from volunteering because we knew you would get the task done but spare one to come live with us."
In shock Shiva replied, "If you knew all along why did you let me fill myself with such emotions? Yeah, I am the God of Destruction but this civilization has been around just about as long as us. How did you know I was going to spare one of them?"
Brahma and Vishnu ignored his question and again addressed Shiva in sync with one another, "Where is King Mew? We would like to explain ourselves and reward him by giving him even greater power along with supreme knowledge of the cosmos for his troubles."
Shiva was at a loss for words. All he could remember was using all of his power to destroy Mewsia and before he knew it Ravana had stolen Mew right from under his nose. Shiva swiftly relayed this information and the three Gods quickly assembled all the other Gods, Goddesses, gods, and goddesses to track down Ravana as fast as possible. Nobody knew where he was hiding with Mew and hours of searching turned into days, days turned into weeks, and before they realized it a couple months had passed and there were no signs of Mew or Ravana.
Just about all the Gods gave up searching but Shiva and his team were persistent and chose not to stop until Mew was found. Along their travels searching they came across the bird God, Garuda. Apparently he was never informed that the Gods were searching for King Mew or the evil Ravana. Garuda had seen Ravana with Mew and he was taking him in a southern direction. Shiva knew there was only one island out there and it was the Island of Lanka. At last Shiva knew Mew's exact location and he was finally recovered.
In the possession of the Gods he was rewarded with immense power, knowledge, and even immortality. It is believed that the great God Mew is even alive to this day, doing his best to stay out of the way of the humans yet protecting them at the same time. For when the Gods gave Mew the power of a God he became the peacekeeper and protector of the world.

Author's Note: No blog would be complete for me unless my favorite pokemon, Mew, was featured in one of my stories. I took the story where the monkey people help Rama search for Ravana and Sita. Instead of Ravana stealing Sita away from Rama he stole Mew away from the Gods. Just as everyone is losing hope about finding their target there is an encounter with a bird/bird person. In the original story it was the bird Sampati who knew where Sita was taken. I couldn't really find a way to integrate him into my story so instead I used Garuda because he is the god of the birds. I used a little bit of pokemon lore and decided to have Mew alive to this very day. In the anime he is only seen a couple times and is the most legendary Pokemon in the first generation series. This is why decided to make him a God at the end.
