A lamentable Defusion

Mew's confession

 
     It was the feast of victory.  In the great hall, tables were piled high with every food that could be thought of, and when a new one was, it appeared.  Ash, not being able to stop himself, was stuffing his face like there was no tomorrow.  As course after course was served, everyone talked of how things were going to be now, and what plans were in store.  After everyone had finished, Blaze looked over to Mew and said something none of the others could hear.  Mew sighed and floated up from his regal, high backed chair.  ‘I think it is time I told you why so many of you share such a bond with your pokemon.  It is not quite as simple as friendship.'  He looked around at his audience of everyone, pokemon and those who were connected to them.  ‘Your scientists have long since realized that all pokemon are the same creature, just different types of the same thing.  You have also found the slow evolution type that creates new breeds of pokemon.  You must have come to the conclusion that humans must come from some prior creature.  There is a reason you have never found this animal, it doesn't quite exist.'  At this point one of the lesser scientists started to protest, but was silenced by the others.  ‘Back before these two were banished from this realm, pokemon weren't quite the same as you see them now.  They had another form that they could all take at will, a bipedal form with five appendages, human.
 ‘You see, back then pokemon weren't born, they were created.  When a human gained an affinity with an element, the gained the ability to change into a certain pokemon and depending on their skill, they could evolve themselves into greater pokemon.  A unique pokemon was made when a person had an enormous natural affinity to an element, and of course, there were the dual types as well.  When the two sorcerers were sealed, I decided that I never again wanted to see something like this happen.  In a fit of rage, I did something I can never forgive myself for.  I took the pokemon element light and fused it into every pokemon that existed, in order to chase away the darkness in them.  This had an effect that I couldn't have predicted in my panic.  It cast away darkness, all right, but not the way I thought it would.  All humans have a duality of spirit, where light and dark coexist.  By strengthening the light in their pokemon form, I banished their humanity, leaving them unable to change back.  The humanity took its own form and became the trainer and master class of humans.  And thus, were you separated.  It also made pokemon incapable of evil, because they lost their free will when darkness left them.
‘It goes even further, though.  I realized later that light and darkness always attract each other, and the more of one that is produced, the greater the other will be when it arrives.  That logic proved to me that some shadow must exist in pokemon, so that when darkness returns, it need not completely destroy everything.  I then made the shadow type, making sure that there was always another type between light and shadow, so that they don't mix and return things to the way they were.'
Misty was one of the first to regain their composure after this and asked "Are we going to ever be able to do that again?'
‘Now that things are back, and the world not destroyed, there is no need for all these safeguards.  In addition, after some time for the normal flow to reassert, the transformations will be able to occur.  In the meantime, anyone who wishes to have this transformation may join their souls to one of their pokemon and so there is a trade.  When the transformation occurs, the two will keep some of their features in their other form.'
Ash looked up “You mean in the way I transform?”
    Mew was taken by surprise as he had forgotten about that “Actually, you have already taken some of pikachu, pikachu need only take some of you.”
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Misty put her hand on his shoulder and forced him down a moment, she looked at Mew and asked “What of Mewtwo?  He certainly has none of these problems.”
‘Mewtwo was created by DNA splicing.  They added Human DNA, leaving Mewtwo in the approximate shape I would be if I were suspended between forms.  The scientists also found the light type and took it away.’
