Chapter 8

I never knew how powerful a dream could be. I mean I have had many some even happening the next day to me. But by far the worst thing a dream has ever done has made me wake screaming or sweeting with fear. But the one I had about my sister topped it all. Yeah I did fall back asleep holding shadow for comfort all night. But finding out that my sister was alive and in this world made my head spin.

I was up in the bathroom looking myself over. Not only had my eyes turned yellow but my hair became green as well. I had to put a hat on to hide it. I didn't want Leaf and the others seeing what happened to me yet. They would all start to panic. Shadow would probably cry because he would lose me all together. I just looked at my reflection. "I knew that even with my condition the first change would be this way." I said.

My hair had not only turned green but shrunk majorly. I was getting worried. 'If I sprout leaf's I am not going to be able hid that' I thought. I just looked at my eyes. I could lie and say I was playing around with contacts but that wouldn't do me any good at all. I picked up the hat and looked at m hair one last time. I knew that when it got short enough it would spread all over.

I placed the hat back on and walked to the bathroom door. I was thinking about the figure of the creature from my dream that had my sister's voice. The way it was running and its look had a similar thing hitting my mind. But I didn't know what yet. I walked out seeing Leaf and sighed. "I know. I will tell you later, ok?" "Alright, but I hope you will be honest. I know that when a person's scent changes, it is never usually good." Leaf said.

Then Shadow jumped up and I grabbed him quick. "Ok guys we are going to find out where we are. So no one is going in their ball again." I said. We walked out the room and I went to the front desk handing them the key and payment for the night. I walked out and as I did so I saw the city for what it was. "Oh wow." I said. "I know its a lovely region isn't it" Leaf said.

I looked at her confused. "I sense Erick doesn't catch your meaning Leaf." Anubis said. I looked at him and he looked away frightened for a minute. "Anubis please I don't like my emotions being read." I said. "Sorry Erick." He said. I laughed a little. "It's ok. Lets go look around." I said. And with that we started walking around. It wasn't long however until we found a park like area.

After a while of walking around I saw an area with 3 kids in it. And two looked like they were having a battle. I watched as sent out a yellow rat like the one that girl I fought had. The other kid sent out some kind of brownish bunny. I didn't really stay to watch. I had to find out where I was. I walked away and looked around. And After a while I couldn't find any indication of where we were.

So finally I had to stop some one and asked where we were. "You're in Luminose city in the Kalos region." The person said. I let her continue her run and I looked at every one. So now I know were we are. But it didn't help my situation any more then earlier. At best I knew I was in another world from my own. I just had trouble wrapping my head around it still. "Ok guys time to get going." I said.

"Aw come on you don't want to fight the Gym?" Anubis said. "Sorry. But I have no interest in fighting other people." I said. Anubis looked at me shocked. I remembered they didn't know I was from another world. I sighed and brushed it off. I didn't want to tell them that part either but I was more willing to tell them that then of my new life that was coming.

I just looked up and we started walking to the city exit. But as we were about to exit, some town punks stopped me by the gate. I knew by looking at these guys that they meant trouble. "Well look what we have here. A new guy, leaving town and it looks like he lets his Pokémon walk freely." A short kid said. "That just shows how weak of a trainer he is then." Another said.

Shadow got frightened and curled in my arms. "It's ok Shadow. Their just kids who want to make themselves look tough." I said. But I made sure it was normal so they could hear it. "What you say punk." The big one said making a grab for me. But Leaf got in his way and brought out her Leaf blades. "Whaaa!' the kid said falling backwards landing on his butt.

"Archie. Are you gonna let him get away with that." He said to some tall guy. I looked and I could see he was eyeing Leaf interested. "Kid, is this Grovyle yours?" He asked. "Yea and what of it?" I said. He pulled a ball out and brought out a foxlike Pokémon. "I'll trade you my Braxien for it." He said. I looked at him shocked. "Why do you want her?" I asked.

"Because she looks strong and I could use a strong Pokémon like that." He said. "Um sorry but no." I said. He looked as if I had just shot him. Then he got real mad. "I am sorry it sounded like you said no." Archie said. "I did. She is more then a Pokémon to me. She is like my sister. And I wont break apart family ever." I said. "No, you don't get it kid. When I want something I get it, no matter what." Archie said.

I could tell this was getting nowhere fast. "Well, this is one thing you don't get. Now move aside so I can get going." I said. I started walking but he grabbed my shoulder. "Ok I am not asking any more kid. Hand over the Grovyle now!" He said. I sighed. "You really want to go down this road?" I said. "Just hand the ball over now." He said.

I set Shadow on the ground. I grabbed Archie's wrist and flipped him over onto the ground. I placed a foot on his chest and looked him in the eye. "Don't you ever try to take my family from me. Or next time it won't be me doing the flipping. And you'll get a much worse out come. Trust me on that." I said. I picked up Shadow and we all exited the town.

"This isn't over kid. Not by a long shot." He yelled at me. I just sighed and started walking towards the forest. I looked at my friends and laughed. "I won't ever trade any of you away. You like family to me and I won't separate family ever." I told them. We started walking until I heard a voice that made my heart skip a beat. "Aw, that's so sweet. My little brother has a heart for animals." I turned around to see who said that.

"Ok this isn't funny show your self now." I said. I knew something was coming. I was just hoping some one was playing with me. Then this frog like thing that was blue and almost as big as an adult came out the shadows. I heard Anubis gasp. "A Greninja. What's it doing way out here." Anubis said. I just stood in place. "Who are you and what do you want." I said. "Oh, I am hurt that you don't remember your big sister, Becky." She said. I nearly fainted then and there.
