I am Meowth. An utterly ordinary Pokémon.
After I was born, I was abandoned. But thinking about it, who would want to raise two Meowths in a regular family?
After being abandoned, I had to survive on my own. But how could a Meowth that had never been taught survival skills live alone? My life was incredibly hard until one day I heard that there was delicious food in Hollywood, and my fate changed.
When I first arrived in Hollywood, I was often caught and beaten until I finally joined a group of elderly cats and Meowths, where I could finally eat my fill. They taught me many things. It was in this environment that I met a Meowth who changed my life: Meowzie.
The first time I saw Meowzie, I instantly fell in love with her. But unlike a wild Meowth like me, Meowzie had her own trainer and seemed to be a rich lady. I heard Meowzie say she wished I could be like a human.
However, that was just my unrequited love. To impress Meowzie, I learned to walk, but I was ridiculed for merely learning to walk and not being like a human. Afterward, I learned to speak, but then I was mocked again when she said she found a Meowth that could speak human language disgusting. My heart was shattered. That day, I initially planned to steal once more and then leave Hollywood to become a bad guy, but how could I run quickly on my legs... and so I got caught. Then I was beaten.
While I was being beaten, the person who truly changed my life came.
"Uncle, let me pay for that fish."
I was saved. When he discovered I could talk, he was surprised, but quickly hoped I could become his Pokémon. For me back then, it was nothing short of a miracle.
After that, I became the Pokémon of the Elderly Lady, and I became the bridge for communicating between the Boss and his Pokémon. I never forgot what the Boss had said.
"Meowth, don't you know how precious your ability to speak is? With this ability, you are a hero!"
"Ah? I can become a hero? No way, Elderly Lady. I'm just a Meowth…"
"Don't belittle yourself. People need to communicate, Pokémon need to communicate with each other, and humans and Pokémon also need to communicate. Meowth, you can be the bridge between me and Pikachu! You are also capable of solving the conflicts between humans and Pokémon, making you a hero!"
With the Elderly Lady holding my shoulder, I stared blankly at the seriousness in her eyes.
"Can I really do it?"
"Yes, you can, because you're a talking Meowth! This ability is something you gained through your own training. This is an opportunity that you earned through your hard work."
Is that so? It turns out that learning to talk wasn't in vain. My words... It really can happen. The Elderly Lady believes in me so much. It's amazing to feel valued like this...
After that, I truly became the hero the Elderly Lady described. I helped many Professors and Pokémon communicate, resolving conflicts between humans and Pokémon through translation. I even helped clear Absol's name.
I truly became a hero, just as the Boss said. Perhaps some might wonder if this makes me nothing more than a tool. If there are such people, I would certainly give them a piece of my mind! The Elderly Lady will never treat me as a tool; in her eyes, I am an equal, a partner, a friend. Although in my eyes, the Boss is my master. This isn't me resigning myself to my fate; it's genuinely how I feel. It is because of the Elderly Lady that I became a hero.
But more than becoming a hero, there is only one thing that truly fills me with pride: that is being the Elderly Lady's Pokémon.
Meowth. A talking Meowth. I am just a butler and Pokémon belonging to the Elderly Lady.
