Chapter 2: The Dream

April slowly opened her eyes, but she had no idea where she was. Looking around, she could see that all around her was barren land, and a sky void of any color. As logic and memory started to quickly come to her, she realized that this kind of world was impossible to be actually real.

"Ah! This is just a dream. A bit odd, but oh well." thought April, as she looked around some more, noticing that she was wearing her glasses, before looking down, which caused her to heavily blush.

"This is just a dream… and I'm naked." April thought back to when she used to regularly have recurring subconscious embarrassment when she'd have the usual "naked in school" dream that plagued school age kids. The thought of this subconscious faux pas made her shudder.

"Wait, if this is a dream, I could just imagine some clothes. It is feeling a bit chilly." April pondered, before thinking with all her might to make clothing appear on her body. However, all she was able to muster was just a mist that scantily covered her C-cup breasts and crotch.

"Wow, what a gyp..." April groaned, sighing out of despondency. "Well, it's better than nothing." she said; as she sat down to wonder what could possibly happen now. Being used to having vivid dreams before, April was cognizant of the possibility of this dream of hers becoming strange. Suddenly, an eerie chill brushed against April's back, causing the girl to shiver, and the mist covering her to nearly dispel. April stood up quickly; as the sky above slowly began to distort, April felt a twinge of fear start to grow inside her. As she did, the silhouette of what looked like a pitch-black ghost appeared only a few feet away from her.

"I have finally found you…" the phantom whispered.

"W-What are you talking about?" April quaked, and she couldn't help but tremble as the shadow slowly advanced toward her. April shut her eye out of fear, waiting for the worst to happen, when the phantom suddenly stopped, as April opened her eyes, the phantom pointed toward a twinkling light that wasn't there before.

"Follow me." the phantom spoke. April hesitantly walked in the phantom's direction, treading lightly as the scenery faintly started to change, though it went unnoticed by April, meanwhile, the phantom remained silent, only turning to look over its shoulder to make sure April was keeping up. After walking for what felt like an hour, April and the phantom arrived at the source of the light, a floating orb that gave off a milky-white aura, and emitted a warm glow. The phantom silently gestured to April to get closer to the orb, as April slowly stepped toward the orb, the mists covering her quickly dissipated, prompting April to cover her breasts and tighten her legs out of modesty and shock.

"Continue, April. There isn't much time," the phantom said sternly. April puffed up her cheeks in frustration, but realized that if she was ever going to find out what was going on, she had to listen to the floaty ghosty thingy. Swallowing her pride, April allowed her nudity to be seen; as she continued to walk toward the orb, and as she continued forward, the warmth that the orb was giving off increased. Soon enough April was face-to-face with the glowing sphere, and she suddenly was overcome with the desire to touch it. Extending her hand, April slowly reached for the orb, and her fingers caused the surface of the orb to ripple like water, before the aura surrounding it quickly blazed like a wildfire. Startled, April retracted her hand, and was about to turn around to run, but the orb cried out with a voice that sounded like a calming whisper.

"Stay, April. You are not in danger. Please, come closer." Obeying the voice, April calmly advanced toward the orb, and gasped in awe as the orb's milky-white color changed to a dark pastel green. The orb spoke again, "Now, April, don't panic." and the orb floated toward April's chest, before phasing itself into April's body. April's eye twitched in surprise as her body started to glow the same green aura, before it subsided as a set of green undergarments appeared on her body. April breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked around to see the world around her begin to change, becoming what looked like a forest clearing. April couldn't help but ponder about how odd this dream of hers was.

"Next I'll be going down a hole and having tea with a hatter." April thought, giggling at her little joke. Before she could crack any more jokes, the phantom that seemed to have disappeared minutes ago, appeared in front of her, seemingly evaporating at the same time, being replaced with a small, pink, blue-eyed feline Pokémon.

"Hi there!" the little Pokémon said enthusiastically. April jumped backwards out of surprise, as the Pokémon tilted his head. "You are April, right?"

"Um, yes I am." April responded. She immediately gasped when she realized what kind of Pokémon she was talking to, one that she had read about in books, and even had an Ancient card with its design on it.

"You're Mew!" April squealed in excitement. She didn't care if this was just a dream, a Mew was talking to her, and naturally, her inner fangirl got the better of her. "Oh my gosh, you are so CUTE!" and without warning, April grabbed Mew, taking the poor creature by surprise and gave him a hug, smothering the poor thing between her bosom; oblivious to the fact that she was still scantily clad.

"MMMFFMFFMFFMFF!" shouted Mew, as he was facing possible death by every pervert's dream, and struggling only made April hold on to him tighter. Remembering that he had the ability to teleport, Mew did exactly that, gasping for air as April realized what she was doing.

"Sorry about that. You're just so cool, and adorable, and stuff. Girls love cute things, and seeing how I'm a girl…" April said as she blushed.

"Nah, it's fine. I get that that a lot. Anyways, yes, I'm Mew, and I'm here to help you out on your journey!" Mew said gleefully.

"Well, not that I normally wouldn't accept help from a Pokémon, but why?" April quizzically asked. "Am I like, the chosen one in some obscure prophecy or something?" April stroked her chin at the prospect of being an awesome heroine as her eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Well, not really." Mew said. "I can't go into much detail, since my friend who told me to find you just said, 'Spoilers.' regarding telling me what was happening. She never is good at explaining things like these, but I suppose that's just because of what she's capable of." Mew sighed in disappointment. "I'm sorry I can't really help you with that, but I can at least give you a gift, seeing how it is your birthday." Mew smiled as he began to conjure another orb.

"Wait, how do you know it's my birthday?" April asked, looking at Mew with suspicion.

"Um… I may have been told that by my friend." Mew said shakily. "And before you ask, don't ask me who she is. She's very secretive about her identity, and I'd rather not have her be angry at me." Mew said as he continued to work on conjuring the orb for April, who was left without anything else to say.

After April waited a good minute for Mew to finish, the pink Pokémon presented the bikini-clad girl a pink-like orb. April couldn't help but wonder what this orb would have in store for her, and instinctively touched it, but kept her hand extended as the orb erupted in a pink aura. April then held the glowing orb in both hands, as she felt control over her body being relinquished to an unknown force, but April felt unafraid. Mew nodded at April as she brought her hands holding the orb to her chest, feeling the pink orb merge with her body just like the green one before. For a moment, April's eyes glowed a fervent green light, before returning to normal. As they did, April noticed that the world around her was beginning to deconstruct, simply becoming a blinding white light. Seeing Mew, she figured that she'd get one last question in.

"Mew! What was that orb you gave me for anyway?" Mew smiled as the inescapable light as the dreamscape quickly consumed him and April…

"Wait and see."
