AN: Hey guys, thanks for reading my story so far! I've been getting a few reviews, and that makes me happy! I know updates have been kind of sporadic, but I'm trying to get into a bi-weekly update basis (Mondays and Thursdays?) through to chapter 17. Yes, I've written 17 chapters so far. Actually, they've been finished since December 2010. Yeah... So I'll try to get weekly updates out.

I wanted to clear something up. Up to chapter 15 was written in July and August 2010. Since then, I didn't change anything except any grammatical errors. Honestly, I haven't even read any of it since it was first written. Kinda bad, but still. So... Carrie Ann is NOT a Mary-Sue. The character is based off of myself, yes, but I'm not all cocky and stuff. Just like I am, Carrie Ann and all the other characters - introduced and still to come - ARE ONLY HUMAN! I cannot stress this enough. In whatever chapter it was, the whole "ROCKET" acronym, yes it would never be believed in real life, but you have to remember this is a story. And at some point while I was writing this, a lot of the stuff that seems really out-there at one point seemed like a great idea. Besides, they're laughable moments. You can laugh at some of the stuff in the story, I don't mind. You won't hurt my feelings. In fact, I laughed at some of the stuff while writing it, knowing it was outrageous.

Now, with the length of the chapters... Um, I wrote pretty much all the way to chapter 17 (which is where I have it written up to) on my iPod Touch. Which means the screen is fairly skinny and small. So the chapters are short, I realize as I put them onto a real computer. The paragraphs are short as well. Now, there are a few chapters that are extremely long compared to the short ones, but I don't plan on going in and adding tons of meat onto the chapters already written. Call me lazy. I promise, though, just bear with me to chapter 17, and then I'll start cranking out some lengthy chapters. Deal?

Without further ado, Chapter Five!

Chapter 5

Discovery

The silver car came to a stop at a gas station, and Carrie Ann went into the store to get drinks and snacks. After grabbing a Snapple for her mother and a Sunkist for herself, Carrie Ann observed the snacks, unsure of what to get. She knew her mother wanted Fritos, but Carrie Ann was torn between some cheddar cheese Combos and some nacho cheese Doritos.

She heard the automatic doors open, and she was just tall enough to see over the shelves of food to spy a blonde lady in a skimpy blue tank top and short shorts get sent out of the store for bringing in a pet. It was so stereotypical, a blonde girl carrying her dog wherever she goes. The dog was adorable, though, an orange-blonde coat, with a furry neck that seemed so unrealistic, like it was just a fuzzy collar. The puppy had the cutest tuft of hair on its head, too. Carrie Ann simply smiled at the girls attempt to bring the animal in the store, though if she was so stereotypical to be a blonde in skimpy clothes carrying a kick-me dog, she probably hadn't even read the 'NO PETS ALLOWED' sign by the door.

She decided on Combos and paid for her things, as the blonde walked back in, dog-less, and went to find some snacks. Carrie Ann went back out to her mom's car and told her about the girl.

"Carrie Ann, trust me; that dog was a Chihuahua, with fur so blonde, it was practically white," her mother insisted.

The car finally pulled into the driveway of the Harper family's new home, and Carrie Ann jumped out of the front seat, her legs begging to be stretched. She looked around; no one was out today. It was ten a.m. Saturday morning, so that might have had something to do with it.

Carrie Ann grabbed her things and rushed into the house through the unlocked interior garage door. They had arrived before her sister and dad, who had taken the other car, and Carrie Ann would get to choose her bedroom before Jessica. After picking the room at the very end of the hall, because it seemed larger than the other two - other than the master bedroom - she set her things down and opened up her DS. She had been playing Pokémon since they got in the car, and now that they were at their new home in Mascoutah, Carrie Ann could hook up her laptop and try to steal some Wi-Fi.

Connected to the Internet, she Googled the Soul Dew Guardian. Just one hit came up about the guardianship, in some kid's fan fiction. She was talking about a bunch of prophecies, and what they meant.

Apparently this kid's whole Fan fiction account was dedicated to the prophecies. Real prophecies from Greece and Rome, to Fake prophecies, from Pokémon to Digimon to Bakugon.

Scrolling through the list of his works, Carrie Ann saw the 'Soul Dew Prophecy,' and clicked the link. Apparently, the Soul Dew Prophecy was written Before Mew, and states that a chosen one will obtain the Soul Dew through the Eon Pokémon, and be known as the Guardian. That's all the prophecy states, apparently, according to the kid, but he's some kind of philosopher, because he goes on for another two paragraphs explaining the meaning and origin.

Supposedly, so the kid believes, Pokémon and all things related were originally what this world was. But after the continents started to shift, they went into frenzy. All the Pokémon were in misery, so Mew used her powers to change the lovable Pokémon into forms more like humans, without powers, without abilities. Although many believe that Pokémon were formed from our life, it is truly the opposite.

Going back to the prophecy at hand, the kid explains how the Guardian has the ability to look past the cover and awaken Mew to her true form, so that she may the rest of the Pokémon.

So now Carrie Ann knew what she was supposed to do. At least, she hoped. That was just one kid's idea of the prophecy. Who knew if he even had the right prophecy. Who knew if Carrie Ann hadn't just dreamed up all this Soul Dew stuff in the first place?

She knew. And the Soul Dew was proof.

So yeah, hope you like the story so far! Chapter six will be up on Monday!

Also, I just went in and did some technical updates to all the old chapters, such as italicizing things and stuff. Disclaimers as well.
