I awoke later the next morning to a light coming through the window, shining right onto my face. I took a quick look to make sure the room hadn't been invaded by May last night. After a quick scan of the room, the coast seemed clear. Then I felt a slight shaking on my left side. I looked over to Ralts who was still asleep and appeared to be dreaming. Then, she started tossing and turning very vigorously. I got worried.

"Ralts, what's wrong?" I asked shaking her.

There was no response and she remained asleep. Then I started to get even more worried so I started to shake her again. Then, she turned over and her hand fell on my head. Just then everything went black. Then a few seconds later, I was outside. It was morning but then I saw Ralts on the ground, she was walking beside a second me. I must have gotten inside her dream.

I saw her grab the other me's leg, he then stopped moving as well as her.

"Ral" She said.

"What?" The other me asked kind of rudely.

"Ralts ral" She said as she then blushed and looked away.

She then motioned to be picked up. The other me reluctantly picked her up. It made me cringe seeing how the other me acted. I could tell by her tossing that this was a nightmare. I saw the other Ralts lean closer to the other me's face. He then dropped her.

"You disgusting little creature."He said turning and walking away.

"Ral Ral! She cried trying to get up.

I saw her hurt and ran over.

"It's okay, I'm here to help." I told her.

"Ra..." She said looking up to me.

"It's going to be fine. I won't let anything happen." I convinced her. "You'll be safe with me."

"R... Ralts" She cried to me.

"I know that you're hurt, but I know that you're strong."I tried to comfort her. "You can go ahead and let it all out." I calmly said as I pulled her closer. "Let it all out. Let all of your sorrows out."

I said there and let her cry. I eventually closed my eyes and the the crying faded. When I opened my eyes, I was back in my room next to Ralts. Just then she woke up.

"Good morning Ralts, did you sleep well?" I asked.

"Ra?" She just looked at me.

At that I couldn't help but laugh a little bit. I got out of bed got dressed and we left the room. We were then greeted by the others.

"Good morning Tony!" May greeted cheerfully.

"I hope you slept well." Norman said as he shot May a glare, probably for being so hyper in the morning.

"Yeah, it was very nice. I'm very grateful that you helped me out." I tried to sound as respectful as possible.

"Come on you don't need to sound so uptight. Relax, talk to me like a friend." He requested. "After all eventually you will be battling me."

"Oh yeah speaking of which, I was wondering if I could try to battle you today." I said eager to get my first badge.

"I'm sorry but i don't think you'll manage. For most people I am the fifth badge they get." He said.

"Ok understood." I said. "May you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I was born ready!" She exclaimed.

"Ok then sounds like a plan." I said.

I thanked Norman again and we went on our way. We walked towards the Petalburg Woods. Once there I heard a rustling in the tall grass. Then out walked a Shroomish.

"Go Fletchling" I called out. Fletchling use Peck on Shroomish.

"Fletchling Fletch" He responded as he swooped down at the unexpecting Shroomish who was knocked back.

"Shroom!" It shouted as it let out a Stun Spore.

The Stun Spore cloud engulfed Fletchling as he fell down. So I called him back.

"Fletchling return! Go Ralts!" I yelled "Ralts, Use confusion!"

"Raaaa" She said as she shot it with a blast of energy.

The Shroomish went back and hit the ground, knocked out cold. I threw a Pokeball at it. The ball shook once but then opened up. The Shroomish came back out and faced us.

"Ralts, use growl!" I commanded, just as Shroomish started to use Tackle.

"Rrrrr" She snarled at it.

The growl seemed to work because when Shroomish hit Ralts, it barely fazed her.

"Ok, use confusion again!" I called.

"Raaa." She sent it back again.

I threw another Pokeball at the Shroomish. This time it shook three times and clicked meaning that I caught it.

"Good job Ralts." I told her, then turned to May. "We've got to hurry to the Pokemon Center. Fletvhling needs medical attention, fast."

"Right, let's go." She said as we turned back.

We got there within probably half an hour. And went in.

"Nurse Joy!" I said hastily

"Yes, can I help you?" She asked cheerfully.

"My Fletching got hit by a Shroomish's Stun Spore. He needs help fast." I said getting scared.

"Okay, just hand him here and keep calm. We'll take care of him." She said handing Fletchling's Pokeball to her Chansey. Do any of your other Pokemon ned a check up?"

"Um yeah, my Ralts fought the Shroomish, and this is that Shroomish that I mentioned." I told her while handing over their Pokeballs. "I was trying to catch the Shroomish."

"Okay they are in good hands, we'll take care of them." She assured me.

"Don't worry Tony, they will be fine, Nurse Joy is the best there is." May tried to comfort me.

"Yeah, I know." I said.

About 10 minutes later I heard a noise. Then Nurse Joy came out holding my Pokeballs

"Your Pokemon have been fully restored." She told me.

"Thank you very much." I thanked her.

We then stopped outside for lunch. May and I both let out all of our Pokemon. I went around and fed all of my Pokemon. Then I sat down beside May and we started eating. After about five minutes, I heard some yelling.

"May!" An odd woman yelled. "Get over here! What are you doing with that guy! Don't you see how old he is!"

"We are traveling together. So calm down mom, don't worry." She told the lady.

"You boy come over here! If I catch you near her again, you will be sent away, am I clear?" She threatened.

"Stop, mom!" May yelled as we walked away.

Just then May gave me a weird look. It started to scare me.

"Tony... I'm in love with you." She confessed.

Just then we saw a bright white light. The light was coming from Ralts. She was evolving. I then saw the newly evolved Kirlia run towards me. Then I heard a voice in my head.

"Master. I love you too." The voice said.

I just started looking around for it. Then I heard it again.

"Master, down here." The voice was coming from Kirlia. "I'm using telepathy to talk to you."

Then I just saw May and Kirlia stare at each other, and then, back at me. I was stuck.
