Chat noir the mewtwo and plagg the mew.

The story goes that chat was created by the scientists with the intention to create the world’s strongest pokemon. Chat did not react well to being treated as a lab experiment and let loose his power, destroying the lab. Then Gabriel agreste came with the offer to help him control his power and learn his true purpose. However this was a trick and after chat learned how to fully hone his powers, Gabriel revealed that he intended to use chat to rule the world. Angered by this betrayal, chat destroyed gabriels base and flew off. He decided he’d find his own purpose and stay away from humans. He soon found a mountain with a revitalizing spring that he called home.

Meanwhile a young trainer and her group of Pokemon were traveling across the mountain. The girl’s name was vitadal. Her Pokemon are ladybug the Ledian, viperion the shiny teal arbok, Rena rouge the Braixen, carapace the wartortle and vespiria the beedrill.

They had stopped for a rest and some lunch. While vitadal got the campfire started and cooked the food, she instructed everyone to go see if they can find some food to stock up on their journey.

Ladybug went exploring when she found chat by a fruit tree scolding a ryhorn for being greedy and hoarding the food from others. He hovered the once aggressive ryhorn now turned coward now that he realized who he was messing with. Then flung the pokemon across the forest, putting him in his place.

Ladybug watch this and was afraid of chat at first but decided to try asking politely if she could take some of the fruit from the tree.

Chat just looked at her and said “I do not own this tree. The fruit is free for all to take. Just don’t go hoarding it all for yourself.”

Ladybug thanked him and took what she could carry back with her. Though as she picked the fruit, she inquired as to what kind of pokemon chat was.

Chat simply said “I’m not of any known pokemon. I was created in a lab from the DNA of an ancient pokemon called mew. The scientists called me mewtwo.”

Then ladybug asked “did they give you a name? Not the name of your species but an actual name to identify as?”

“No. I do not have a name. They always referred to me as mewtwo.”

After the exchange and a polite thanks, ladybug left to return to the camp.

Though soon after, a pokemon poacher came with the intention of stealing vitadal’s rare shiny arbok viperion. The team all fought hard but were no match for the poacher’s tyranatar, houndoom and garchomp.

With All the pokemon injured and helpless, vitadal pulled out her own bow-staff, intent on a futile attempt at protecting her Pokemon. Ladybug tried once more to fight but was knocked away by the garchomp. As she was knocked away, she let out a desperate cry for help.

Which chat noir heard and turned to investigate.

He found the team all hurt and the poacher about to grab viperion. The poacher shot out a capture net from a gun but chat used his psychic powers to stop the net midair and sent it back at the poacher, capturing him instead. then he approached them, using his power to take the poacher’s pokeballs and destroy them, freeing the man’s pokemon.

“You are no longer under his servitude. Go and be free.”

The poacher’s pokemon nodded gratefully and left.

Then chat used his powers to wipe the poacher’s memory and teleport him away.

Now that the threat was taken care of, chat went to heal the pokemon.

At first vitadal thought he would hurt them but when he told her he was there to help, she relaxed. But when chat said he was going to erase her memory of him so she can’t tell anyone of his existence, she tensed up again.

Ladybug then tried to talk to chat, trying to convince him vitadal could be trusted. Chat was skeptical and didn’t believe ladybug, but then vitadal said “your a psychic pokemon right? If you’re worried about if I’m trustworthy or not, why don’t you look into my mind?”

Chat looked at her in surprise. He had never thought to be able to do that before, nor was he ever taught to do so by Gabriel. Most likely because Gabriel didn’t want him to find out what he was really planning.

Chat inquired as to why she would suggest something that would put her at a disadvantage.

To this vitadal said “cause I’m that trustworthy.”

Chat then looked into her mind and found that she was indeed being true. So he didn’t erase her memories.

He then turned to leave when vitadal stoped him, asking “would you like to stay for lunch? You really saved us and I’d like to repay you. You’re a real hero.”

At first chat wasn’t sure he should but then relented and had lunch with them.

As they sat, ate and talked, vitadal asked if chat had a name.

“No.” He replied.

“Then how bout we give you a name? I’m really good at giving names.”

“ …. What did you have in mind?”

“ how about….. chat noir!”

“… chat.. noir?”

“Yeah, it’s French, it means “black cat”. And your all black and your a cat-like pokemon so it makes sense!”

“Hmm….” He looked down at himself as he considered the name.

“Chat noir….. alright then, that will be my name. Chat noir.”

Over time as they camped on the mountain, chat soon warmed up to the team and would join them on their journey.

But not in a pokeball.
