EdenPOV

"A wild MESPIRIT appeared! Go, Aqua! What will Aqua do?" I read on my DS screen. I was playing Pokémon Diamond. Yes, I was seventeen. No, I don't care. I still have a love for Pokémon.

Aqua was my Vaporeon. And my absolute favorite Pokémon in the world was Vaporeon. My second favorite is Mightyena. Which I have.

I also have an Empoleon, Aerodactyl, Dialga, and Girafarig.

Not only was I a Vaporeon lover, I also loved Ash Ketchum. No really, I have an obsession.

Anyway, I've been trying to catch this Mespirit for so freaking long! I touched FIGHT and clicked SURF.

"The wild MESPIRIT fled!"

"Are you freaking kidding me?" I yelled aloud.

I grunted and flew into Hearthome City on Aerodactyl, running into the Contest Hall and up to the receptionist. I clicked save and turned my DS off. Glancing over at my clock, I finally realized what time it was. 1:17 AM. Jeez, I needed to sleep.

I lied down on the sofa, since I didn't have my own bed at my grandmother's. I'm always spending the night here.

I laughed a little. I wish I had the six Pokémon in my DS. That would be amazing. I wish I could travel the world with them.

I finally fell asleep after a long night of gaming.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I couldn't help but feel weird. As if something was next to me. I slowly turned my head and saw something blue. That was odd. The comforter I use is brown..

Slightly afraid, I slowly moved the blanket a little. Still blue. Okay, this is weird. Is something wrong with my eyes?

"Vaaa.." I froze. I looked closely at the blue thing. Whatever it was, it was breathing.

I quickly pulled all the covers up. It was like a blue ball.

Feeling a little brave, I poked it. And it woke up.

"Vaaporr?"

It looked at me, and I screamed. I finally calmed down when I saw what it was.

Oh. My. God. There is a Vaporeon next to me.

I glanced over at the coffee table, and, sure enough, there were five Pokéballs.

Obviously, I was skeptical. So I pinched myself and closed my eyes. I opened them... and the bag, Pokéballs, and Vaporeon were still there.

Wait a second...

"Aqua?"

She smiled. She freaking smiled!

Wait... that must mean...

I reached over for a Pokéball, grabbing it and turning it in my hands.

Taking a risk, I threw it.. and freaking Mightyena came out!

Oh. My. God..

I grabbed the next one and threw it. Empoleon.

The next. Aerodactyl.

Next. Dialga.

Next. Girafarig.

Holy crap... I have Pokémon!

"Mightyena, return!" She returned.

"Empoleon, come back!" He returned.

"Aerodactyl, switch out!" He returned.

"Dialga, return!" She returned.

"Girafarig, return!" She returned.

Oh my God...

I got out of bed, brushed my hair and teeth, and got changed. I quickly put on some makeup. I opened the bag, wondering if everything from the game was still there. Sure enough, there was the medicines, items, TMs and HMs, berries, pokeballs, and key items were there. This must be a never ending bag, because this bag was small and it fit a lot.

I put the five pokeballs in the bag, and put it over my shoulder. I quickly searched for Aqua's pokeball, but was confused when I couldn't find one. Well, obviously she must be like Ash's Pikachu then.

This. Is. Amazing!

"C'mon, Aqua!" I called, going towards the door where my Grandma was outside.

"Vaaaa." She followed me out the door.

"Hey, Grandma!"

"Well, good morning, Eden." She gasped when she saw Aqua.

"What... what is that thing?!"

"It's a Vaporeon. Don't worry, she can't hurt you."

"Isn't that from your game on your Gameboy?"

"It's a DS, Grandma..."

"Whatever."

"And yes, it is."

"How..?"

I sighed. "I made a wish last night.. guess it came true."

She just nodded, shocked.

"Eden! Eden!" I suddenly heard someone calling my name, and the voice stunned me. I slowly turned around to see seventeen year-old Ash Ketchum and Brock running up the steps. My Grandma gave me a weird look. Oh... my...God..

"A-ash?"

When he saw my face, he stopped dead in his tracks. Weird.

"Whoa.." he muttered.

Then Brock looked at me, and I finally realized why.

He took my hand and bent down. "Eden! Champion Pokemon Trainer, I will love you forever-"

Toxicroak jabbed him in the side, making him fall over.

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait, what? Champion Pokemon Trainer?" I asked.

"Well, yeah!" Ash exclaimed. "You beat the Elite Four and Team Galactic and Cynthia!"

"Yeah, you're in the Hall of Fame!" Brock said, finally getting up and rubbing his head.

Then I finally remembered. In my game, I did all that. Now everything makes sense. Except for one thing.

"Um, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked Ash, who got smacked on the head by Brock.

"Ow!... It's just... you're just really.. really pretty.." he stammered, rubbing the back of his neck, blushing.

I blushed too, and smiled. "Thank you."

Ash gulped and nodded.

"Do you have anything that could fly us to Sandgem Town?"

Sandgem Town?

"Where's that?" Grandma chirped up, eyeing Ash suspiciously.

"Well, it's right across town. But our Pokemon don't have enough energy, so we ran to the closest town we saw."

"Which is Santa Monica?" Grandma asked.

Ash and Brock looked at each other.

"I've never heard of that town," Brock said.

"Yeah, this is Twinleaf Town."

Oh. My. God.

I'm in the actual Pokemon world!

We're in the Sinnoh region!

I finally responded to the question. "Yeah, I have an Aerodactyl."

"Whoa, an Aerodactyl?!" Ash exclaimed.

"Yeah."

"One of those tried to eat me once," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck.

I laughed. "I know. Don't worry, she's very tame."

I pulled Aerodactyl's Pokeball out of my bag.

"Aerodactyl, come on out!" I said, throwing the ball. When she did, my Grandma screamed.

"It's okay, Grandma. She won't hurt you."

Aerodactyl nuzzled my face.

"Hey, girl.. can ya fly us somewhere?"

She growled, indicating a yes.

"Alright, hop on!"

Brock jumped up first, then helped Ash up.

"Aqua, come here!" She came running and jumped into my arms. I handed her up to Ash.

"You have a Vaporeon too?"

"Yep."

"Eden, please be safe!" Grandma said.

I smiled at her.

Ash put his hand out, waiting for me to grab it. I blushed and grabbed it, and he pulled me up.

"Sandgem Town!"

When we landed, we headed straight for the Pokemon Center. Ash opened his bag and took out Pikachu, who had previously fainted. He also took out Starraptor, Buizel, Torterra, Infernape, and Gible. They were healed and we started walking away from the receptionist.

"I'm-"

"Hungry?" I asked, cutting Ash off and smiling.

He rubbed the back of his neck, laughing. "Yeah."

"Well, let's go eat!"

We ran to the cafeteria, getting in line. Brock got some soup and meat, Ash got a burger, and I got soup. Brock was ahead of us. He paid for his meal, then walked over to a table.

Crap. I forget my wallet. I started to get out of line, but Ash stopped me.

"What are you doing?" he asked. I looked down sheepishly.

"I uh.. forgot my wallet.. it's okay, I'm not really hungry anyway."

Ash shook his head and smiled. "I got it."

"What? No, you don't have to do that."

"Well, I'm going to."

I just smiled and said thank you.

After he paid for our meals, we sat with Brock.

"Are we allowed to let our Pokémon out?" I whispered.

Brock chuckled. "Obviously. Look around."

I did, and, sure enough, Pokémon were out.

"What if they're really big?" I asked.

"You can do what you want here."

As Ash said this, Pikachu got up on the table. "Chaa!"

Aqua jumped up too, and she and Pikachu looked at each other. They started to nuzzle one another.

"Looks like they like each other," Brock said.

I looked over at Ash and smiled. "Yeah, I guess they do."

Ash smiled back and blushed.

There was a couple sitting in front of us, laughing about something. I smiled and watched them. I always wanted a relationship like that. One where you could be yourself all the-

"Eden?" Ash asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"What'cha lookin' at?"

"Nothing."

I reached into my bag and got out my five pokeballs. I set them on the table.

"You're not gonna let them out?" Brock said.

"I mean.. I don't know.. A few of them are big.."

"Eden, like I said. You can do what you want here."

I sighed, picked up Mightyena's pokeball, and threw it.

Ash's jaw dropped. "You have a Mightyena?!"

"Yeah.. and-" I threw Empoleon's pokeball.

Then Aerodactyl's.

Then Dialga's.

"Those are some amazing Pokémon. Would you happen to have a Ditto?" Brock asked.

I shook my head. "Nope, as much as I've looked. Can't find one."

I wondered what happened to May or Dawn or... Misty.

So, I took a chance and asked Ash.

"So um.. what happened to May?"

"She's with Drew now," he responded. He seemed happy for her.

"Dawn?"

"Paul."

"Misty?" I was afraid to ask.

"Actually.."

And here comes the dreaded news that he and Misty are together! Ugh..

"She found herself a fiancé."

My mouth dropped. "What?"

Ash grinned. "Yeah, he's awesome!"

I suddenly heard thunder, and I jumped. I was insanely afraid of thunder, ever since I was little. Grandma usually had to lay with me till I fell asleep. I looked over at Aqua, who was being pet by Ash. I smiled.

Brock looked out the doors. "Looks like we're staying here tonight, guys."

It was pouring by now, and I looked around. Nobody was in here but us.

I looked over at the clock. 9:00 PM. What?! How is it that late already? How long were we here?

"Well, we might as well hit the hay," Ash said. "We have to travel a lot tomorrow."

"Alright."

"Um.. I don't have a sleeping bag.."

"I'll ask if they have any extras," Brock announced.

"Thanks."

I put Aerodactyl, Dialga, Empoleon, Girafarig, and Mightyena back in their pokeballs.

Brock came back, shaking his head. "Seems like they don't. Sorry, Eden."

"Nah, it's okay. I can sleep on Aerodactyl."

Ash looked over at me, then at the ground.

"Well.." he started, rubbing the back of his neck.
