Pokemon White 2
Chapter 11: Ethan's Nightmare
Our three heroes were sitting around the campfire, listening to the fire crackle. That is until Lyra finally said, "Who wants marshmallows?" Hilbert then said, "I'll go for a couple. How about you Ethan?" Ethan put his hand on his head and said, "I'm not sure. I am gonna lay down and sleep, cause I have a headache. Sorry guys." Hilbert was putting a marshmallow on a stick when he said, "What's up with Ethan?" Lyra was munching on a marshmallow as she said, "I don't know." As Ethan laid there, he was tossing and turning in his sleep. Hilbert was concerned and asked, "Are you alright Ethan?" Ethan didn't answer as he kept moving in bed.
In Ethan's dream he was battling a lady inside a weird building. There were many books on shelves in the room. The lady had a large dog called out, it looked relatively close to Lillipup. Then his dream showed him and a zebra looking Pokemon battling already, his Tepig use Ember on this Pokemon causing it's eyes to roll and Ethan threw a Poke-ball. His dream then flashed to where he was tossing and turning in his sleeping bag. He was literally watching himself sleep somehow. Hilbert and Lyra were already asleep and they were snoozing just fine. Ethan then said, "What is going on?"
A really dark Pokemon then appeared near his sleeping bag and watched closely as the Pokemon spoke, "Do not fear me young child. I am called Darkrai. I am being chased by a man named Ghetsis, and I have chosen you to fulfill the prophecy. I need you to gather 5 star pieces and bring them to Liberty Island where Victini sleeps. Only a Noble Star can wake him. I need him awake only to help me defeat Ghetsis." Ethan then said, "Well, why me? Why can't you do it?" Darkrai just said, "I can't because I don't have a noble heart like you. I hardly have a heart at all." Ethan then asked, "Ok, how do you want me to find these star pieces?" Darkrai then answered, "Leave that to me. Now wake up."
Ethan then awoke in a sweaty torrent and sat up in his sleeping bag. He wiped the sweat from his head and said, "What time is it?" Hilbert then said, "It's about 10 in the morning. Why?" Ethan then said, "No reason. I just wanted to know when you guys wanted to get going?" Hilbert then said, "Well, it don't matter to me." Lyra then replied, "Well, I was hoping to start soon because I want to get on to this Nacrene City and see what it has to offer." Ethan then said, "Well, lets get camp put up and lets be on our way then." So they all put camp away and they started back to walking to Nacrene City. Ethan then noticed a Pokemon grazing in a field nearby. He then recognized what Pokemon it was.
It was the very same zebra Pokemon that he caught in his nightmare last night. Ethan then said, "Hmm, I should try to capture that Pokemon." Hilbert then said, "Well, you could, it was help Juniper fill the Pokedex." Ethan then said, "I'll be right back." Ethan then ran to the zebra Pokemon while Lyra pulled out her Pokedex and the dex read, "Blitzle, the electrified Pokemon. Its mane shines when it discharges electricity. They use the frequency and rhythm of these flashes to communicate." Ethan then said, "Alright Blitzle. Prepare to become a part of my team." Ethan then called out Tepig, "PIG!" Blitzle then took this challenge and prepared itself.
Ethan then said, "Tepig, use Tackle." Tepig then dashed at Blitzle and missed, Blitzle then tackled Tepig knocking him back a few feet hurt. Ethan then said, "Tepig! Use Flame Charge!" Tepig was then cloaked in flame and dashed for Blitzle damaging it roughly. Blitzle then covered itself in flames as well and dashed for Tepig, Ethan then called out, "Dodge! And Use Ember!" Tepig then dodged and used Ember on Blitzle causing it to fall to the ground, eyes rolling. Ethan then threw a Pokeball at Blitzle. It shook three times and clicked. Ethan then said, "Yes! I caught a Blitzle!"
Ethan then put Blitzle on his Pokebelt and he met back with Lyra and Hilbert and they finished walking to Nacrene City. Before they could get inside the gate, Ethan heard Darkrai's voice echo, "Ethan, your first piece of the Noble Star is just outside Pinwheel Forest on the Challenger Rock and is guarded by a savage Timburr. You must go and get this piece." Ethan then flashed back to reality and he said, "Wait guys. We have to go get something first. I'll explain on the way ok?" Lyra and Hilbert just looked at Ethan confused by his action and they followed Ethan.
Ethan was leading the group to the grounds of the Challenger Rock and explained to them, "Well, last night I had a dream, nightmare whatever you wanna call it. And this Pokemon, Darkrai came to me and explain a situation that he was in and that he needed my help. He said that he is being chased by Ghetsis, the leader of team Plasma. He told me I needed to awaken a Pokemon named Victini to aid him in a battle that is coming up with Ghetsis. I need to find five pieces of a Noble Star to awaken Victini. Darkrai, sent me this vision of where the first one is. So we have to get that piece ok?"
Lyra and Hilbert just stood there staring blankly at Ethan, all Ethan could tell them was, "What? You think I'm crazy right?" The other two just looked at him and said, "Well, no not really, but that story is a little out there don't you think?" Ethan then said, "I know what happened in my dream last night and it was real and I can prove it to you." They then kept walking on to Pinwheel Forest when Lyra then said, "Oh, there is a restaurant! Lets get some food first." Ethan then said, "Well, it can't hurt any so yeah. Lets eat." They then went to eat in this restaurant.
After enjoying their meal in peace they left for Challenger Rock again, this time hoping nothing would stop them. That would soon be different as soon as they saw Silver come from behind a tree and smiled while he said, "So, we meet again Ethan! When we battle this time. It will be completely different. I will defeat you this time!" Ethan then said with Blitzle's Pokeball in hand, "You say that every time we meet, yet it never happens." Silver then said, "We'll just see about that!" Ethan then stood a long way from Silver and said, "Ok, lets get this started then huh?" Silver pulling out his Pokeball said, "Lets."
Why does Silver continue to pick on Ethan so much? Who is on Silver's team now? We will find out in the next exciting installment Chapter 12: Silver Battle Number 2.
