Hello everyone !
I apologize for the huge delay (2 months I know) but when I was going to uptade the story, school start up again and since and, since I'm a second year college student, I had a lot of work to do.
Anyway, I had a small vacation and I managed to write chapter 3, 4 and 5 and I will probably post them the next two weeks.

Chapter 2: Dreams
The celebration actually lasted half the night and, when the adults finally sent the kids to bed, they were so tired that they all obeyed without complaint (Max had actually fallen asleep and Molly wasn't far from doing the same). The group of six parted ways and went to their respective homes, though Gary went with May first since he was carrying her little brother in his arms. So, it was only Ash who put Molly into bed. Contrary to stereotypical belief she didn't mind that one bit. After all, for as long as she could remember, her older brother had always been by her side, tucking her into bed on lonely nights andhumming a song to help her fall asleep (like he was doing right now). It was beautiful and magical at the same time and everyone relaxed at once when they heard it.
Molly closed her eyes, still listening to her brother, and fell asleep without even realizing it.

She was in the forest, but everything was so dark that she couldn't see past her own nose. She was afraid and began to run forward blindly, hoping to see some sort of light. After some time, she heard some movement coming from her left. Without thinking, she chose to follow the 'noise'. She had just begun to follow it when she found herself in a meadow, blinded by bright light of the sudden clearing. When she finally adjusted her eyes to the light, she took a look at the meadow and realized that she wasn't really dreaming but reliving a memory.
When she was six, she had gotten lost in that same forest, but someone had helped her back then and took her to that very same meadow. When her parents asked who had helped her, she admitted that it was a Pokemon she didn't know. The only thing she remembered of him was brown fur.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she sensed something touching her left arm. She turned around and came face to face to her rescuer of seven years ago.

The stars were shining brightly in the sky, the occasional shooting stars filling the night with rays of light.
Max always loved to watch the sky at night, because it made him feel like he was close to the stars. This was oftenreflected by his dreams, which always happened at night under a starry sky.
But, this night was different somehow. He could actually hear someone calling him. It was faint and distant but real and he saw it. It wasn't a shooting star, because shooting stars allowed him only a second's glimpse...this...thing was slowly crossing the night sky. He had seen one just like it years ago, and he remembered his father calling it a comet. It was really magnificent, just like the comet he saw before, and it was illuminating the sky.
It was then that he heard the voice again. It sounded female, and this time, she wasn't distant like before; she was crystal clear.
"Make a wish."
Max could only think of one thing.
"I want to meet you."

Dawn had no idea where she was, since she had never seen a room like the one she was in right now. It was a very large room with nothing inside, except for two mirrors hanging on the walls which were facing each other, and a sort of cup which, she thought, was supposed to hold something.
First, she looked at the mirror to her right. She saw herself with a pokemon who looked like an evolution of her Piplup. She thought it was herself she was seeing, but she noticed some differences, the most drastic being her clothes. They were more sophisticated and shorter than hers. It took her some time but she suddenly recognized the girl in the mirror as the girl she had seen in another dream years ago. Upon realizing this, she turned around and looked into the other mirror. This time, she really saw herself, but she was much younger, and Ash was with her. It was the day of her tenth birthday.
Dawn took a step back and looked at the mirrors. One was showing her when she was younger, and the other was showing a kind of future version of herself. It was like one was showing the Past and the other the Future.
"Past and Future," mused Dawn when she suddenly realized the meaning of the two.
"Time."
At the exact moment the word escaped her lips, a brightly gleaming orb appeared on the cup. Dawn approached it cautiouslyand took the orb in her hands. The second she took it, she was blinded by a bright blue light.

Everywhere he looked, Gary could see only one thing: books, maps and so on, and, they all were about one thing: Pokemon. It was like all that was to know about them was gathered where he was right now.
He took a glimpse at one of the maps and saw that it was clearly different from the ones Ash's father, Aaron, had shown him before. On this one, the five former kingdoms he heard about were clearly separated into five distinct regions.
He chose to open one of the books, and he saw that it was a sort of listing of different pokemon. Some pages were even about the evolutionary stones and other different items he knew nothing about. There was one of them in particularthat caught his eye. It was representing the moon and the sun put together and it was in a different shade of yellow.
Then, he noticed something glowing in the other side of the 'room'. He put the book back where he took it from and went to see what exactly the glowing object was. He was surprised when he saw it was the same object he saw in the book, the one with the sun and moon. Holding it in his hands, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He turned around and saw someone floating in mid-air behind him.

May was laughing. She always loved it when her dreams featured the ocean; in them, she could always swim without restraint or without needing to worry about her breath. True, she could do that in real life too, but, swimming in the sea was much better than swimming in their small lake. This is why she was enjoying herself so much. And, what's more, this time: the dream just felt so...realcompared to the other times she had it.
After some time, May suddenly saw something coming towards her. It was a massive blue pokemon with some white spots on his body and red marking stripes. He stopped just in front of her and looked at her. Surprisingly, she didn't feel at all afraid of him. Something reassuring was coming from this pokemon. It was like he wanted her to do something special. Then, May noticed he was pulling an object towards her with his mouth. She took the object in her hands and noticed it was an egg. It was transparent blue with six yellow spots and a kind of red 'ball' inside.
She was inspecting the egg more closelywhen she heard something calling her, something which wanted to wake her up. It was strange because it was like the sound came from the 'real world', but, at the same time, it was coming from the egg too. She looked up at the pokemon who had given her the egg and she understood what was happening.
The egg was real. It was there, somewhere in the outside world, waiting for her to find him.

Ash was in a small tunnel and water was flowing all along the walls. He could see a faint light coming from one end of the tunnel, so he walked towards it. The closer he came to the light, the clearer he could hear water falling. When he finally stepped outside the tunnel, he found himself in a large cave illuminated by the light coming from the water. The sound he had heard was coming from the huge waterfall in front of him.
He came closer to the water and touched it. As soon as his fingertips touched the cool rush, he heard a melody coming from the cave. The tone and pitch was slightly different from what he remembered it to be,but he had no trouble recognizing the song because this was the song he used to hum to his little sister to help her fall asleep.
After a moment, he realized that the melody was coming from under the water. Without a second thought, he jumped into it. He swam towards the bottom but it was like it had no end. Suddenly, two bright blue eyes appeared in front of him. The melody had stopped but he heard a voice with a tone similar to the music.
''So, you finally came.''
~o~
And in that second, that same, exact moment, all six friends woke up.
So that all for the moment.
Stay stuned for Chapter 3 ;)
