"Mommy? Are you awake?" The little girl asked as she tried to reach up on the bed.
"Hm? Orebelle? Is everything alright?" Her mom asked picking her up and placing her on the bed.
"I saw that thing again!" She said hugging her mom tightly and crying.
"Don't worry. It's just a bad dream. Now, you need your sleep. We arrive at our new home tomorrow." She said tucking her in next to herself.
"Mommy it was real. I saw it outside." Orebelle said tiredly.
At this her mom froze for a second. "Your just tired is all. Good night." She kissed her forehead and waited for to fall asleep.
"Night." Orebelle said before falling into a deep sleep.
Before her mom went to bed she looked out the window of the ship wondering if what her daughter said was true. She let out a sigh of relief when she didn't see anything and got in bed.
The next day they got off the ship and headed out to their new home. "Here we are honey. We're going to take a bus to our home, but tonight we'll stay at the Pokémon Center." Her mom said as they walked in.
"Hi there. I'm Nurse Joy. Welcome to Violet City of Johto. I'll lead you to your room." She said and started to show them the way.
When they got in their room Orebelle looked out the window to see people with Pokémon. "Mommy?" Orebelle asked trying to get her mom's attention.
"Yeah, what is it Orebelle?" She replied lying on the bed.
"Can I go outside? I promise I won't go too far." Orebelle begged.
"Alright. Don't stay out too long, alright?" She said watching as Orebelle nodded and ran out of the Pokémon Center.
"Dad! Can we go play?" The little boy asked.
A tall man with blue hair and eyes looked down at him. His bangs were combed out so that they would spike above his left eye allowing him to see. "Later. I have a battle. You can go out now and we'll play later though?" He said smiling at his son.
"Okay." The boy was disappointed. He was only seven and his dad was the famous Gym Leader of Violet City. He walked around outside until he spotted someone. A girl around his age was walking around the town aimlessly.
Her dark blonde hair was tied into a side pony tail that curled out at the end and was bouncing as she ran to a couple with a Furret. It looked at her confused as to why it could only see one eye. Noticing this she took out a hair pin and pulled her bangs to the side reveling two Peridot eyes with a hint of gray.
"Little girl, what is your name?" The man asked.
The girl looked up at him unsure. "I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you." She said shyly.
"It's alright. If you want you can keep playing with him." The woman smiled.
"Thank you!" She smiled and went back to playing with the exited Furret.
"Who is she?" The boy whispered to himself.
"HA-CHU!" The girl sneezed.
"Are you sick?" The woman asked concerned for her.
"No?" The little girl replied wriggling her nose like Furret did.
"You know, if you sneeze it means someone's talking about you." The man said taking a tissue from his pocket and wiping her nose.
"Thank you, um." She started to blush.
"Is something wrong?" The man asked.
"My name, it's, um, it's." She didn't know how to tell them her name.
"Aw! So cute! She's so shy." The woman said picking her up and sitting her on the bench with her and her husband.
"You can whisper it to us if you want." The man said rubbing her back.
The girl looked like she was going to cry, but didn't. "Orebelle, Orebelle. My name is Orebelle." She whispered loud enough for them to hear.
The couple smiled, and congratulated her for her bravery. They were disappointed when they had to go home. "If you ever get the chance you should visit us. We have a daughter around you age. She'd love to have you for a friend." The woman said and they waved goodbye.
Later the boy followed her to the Pokémon Center. He stopped at the doors and was about to go in, but the girl stopped and looked back at him and he froze. Her head was tilted to the side with a questioning look on her face. She stepped closer to him and he backed up with each step she took until he ran back to the gym.
"Orebelle! There you are. I was about to go looking for you, where'd you go?" Her mom questioned her as she made sure she was okay.
Orebelle just kept looking in the direction of the boy. "Who was he?" She whispered aloud causing her mom to look in the same direction as her, but see nothing. Together they walked back to the room.
That night it started raining. Orebelle couldn't sleep so she sat on a chair looking out the window. "What's that?"
A light was shining in the middle of the street. It moved slowly and then , she put on her blue rain boots and her pink raincoat. She tiptoed out the back of the Center and looked around for the light. The boy woke up hearing someone running and looked out his window next to his bed. First thing he saw was the girl from earlier. He saw her run off and ran out to go find her. Orebelle followed the light into the woods before it vanished again. The boy caught up to her and was confused when he saw her standing still. He went to get closer when there was a clash thunder and lightning.
"Ah!" Orebelle yelled and ran.
He ran after her. "Hey! Girl! Watch out!" He yelled as she ran towards the lake.
When Orebelle heard someone yell she froze. The boy caught up to see that she was at the rim of the lake and starring down.
"Hey! Are you alright?" He call to her.
She was looking down into the water. The boy looked into her eyes to see the highlights in her eyes were gone.
"Hey! What happened? Are you okay!?" He tried to yell at her and shake her. He realized she was looking towards the water and he looked as well.
A light was shining in it and it was showing the reflection of a thunder bird in the sky. The boy looked up and saw only a glimpse of it before it had flown behind some black clouds. The thunder rumbled again and her highlights came back. She fainted and fell into the lake.
"No!" The boy yelled and jumped in after her. He looked around, his blue hair flowing around his face. His bangs that usually covered his eye were out of his way so he could see. He found her half way to the bottom and swam them both up to the threw her on his back and ran to the Pokémon Center. "Nurse Joy! I need your help!" He yelled franticly.
All the lights then flickered on. "What's wrong? Oh! Come quickly! Bring her here!" Nurse Joy told him and two Chanseys came with a stretcher that he laid her down on. "Thank you! I believe this girl's mother is in room fifteen. Please tell her what happened and that we'll do what we can." She instructed him before running to the emergency room.
He ran to room fifteen and slammed the door open. Orebelle's mother was shocked to see a soaking wet boy in her doorway panting.
"Miss! Your daughter! She's in the emergency room!" He panted hard with his eyes closed. She got up and ran with the boy to the waiting room tears blurring her vision.
When they got to the waiting room nurse Joy came out to tell her they were doing their best. She sat down on a bench in silence. After an hour she looked up to see the boy sitting scrunched up in a corner. Just then she remembered something. "Who was he?" Orebelle's voice rang in her head. She got up and walked over to him. When he felt something touch his shoulder his head snapped up. She looked at his face. Blue eyes with dry trails of tears on his cheeks.
"Sorry." He whispered and hugged his legs closer to himself.
"Sorry? What for?" She asked, but the boy looked away.
"Miss your daughter's going to be okay. You may see her now." Nurse Joy said as she walked into the waiting room.
When Orebelle came to the first thing she saw was her mother. "Mommy?" She blinked.
"Yes! It's Mommy!" She exclaimed hugging Orebelle tightly.
Orebelle happily hugged her mom tightly back with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes again she saw the boy standing at the side of the door way. When he realized she saw him he hid behind the door. "You're the boy from earlier." Orebelle exclaimed, making him clenched the door nervously. "Can I see you?" She asked sliding down from the bed.
He clenched his fists and stepped from behind the door with his eyes shut tight.
Orebelle gasped from the sudden movement. She calmed down quickly and smiled at him. Walking closer to him she flipped his wet bangs back.
His hands and eyes shot open at the contact. "W-what are you doing?!" He stammered.
Her Peridot eyes were staring into his blue ones. "You are him! The boy with blue eyes! Thank you!" She exclaimed hugging him.
His face turned a bright pink as she hugged him. "I'm Orebelle! You can call me Ore or Orebel! Some people also call me Bell. What's your name?" She asked smiling up at him.
"Um. Are you okay?" He asked nervously and not wanting to tell her his name.
"How many times are you gonna ask me that? Of course I am! Hey, does this mean we're friends now?" She asked with pleading eyes.
He looked at her then everyone else in the room. They were all happy and amazed. "Yeah." He managed a little smile.
The next day he came to see her off with his mom and dad. "Thanks for coming! I promise I'll come back to visit!" Orebelle sang as she grabbed his hands and jumped around.
"Your son is a real hero to us." Orebelle's mom said to his parents.
"Well at least he was able to save her. I still wonder why and how they got out there. By the way what's your name? Maybe we could get together? I have a feeling they'd like that." His mom said.
"I'm Bella; my daughter's name is Orebelle. And you?" She replied.
"I'm Anna and my husband's name is Deryn." Anna smiled taking him by the arm.
"Deryn? As in Gym Leader Deryn?" Bella asked in shock.
"Yeah, it's great for our boys, they love to learn. Our son is only seven. We have another son, but he's with his aunt in Unova right now. He's nine." She looked over to the two kids playing. "How old is Orebelle?" Anna asked.
"She's six. Oh! We've got to go! We're moving to New Bark Town! See ya around!" She called back taking Orebelle's hand.
"Bye! I'll miss you!" Orebelle waved to him.
"Bye Bell! I'll see you again!" He waved back.
Nine years passed and they never saw each other once since then. They attended different schools and were never able to see the other. Over time they made other friends and became busy with them. They still seemed to remember their meeting, though it may only be through their dreams.
