. Chapter Four - Talking Trees and a Nightmare
______________
"Your father..." Sudooru said loudly, obviously trying to get Sau's attention. "he left in order to save you're life. You on the other hand want to leave for your own reasons. I can't let you--"
Sau was now almost growling, and she looked furious."L..Like I said before Sudooru... YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND!" With that said, she ran out of the cave and into the forest Ash and Pikachu had went. Sudooru sighed and watched as she disappeared into the many leaves and trees.
"That idiot..."
______________
Sau ran through the forest, tears streaming down her face. She tripped over a few roots that stuck up out of the ground near a large tree that seemed hundreds of years old. She didn't get up though. She lied on the ground and cried some more. What was she running for? Sau didn't quite know. Inside she wanted to follow Ash and Pikachu, but somehow she knew she couldn't. She didn't know where they went except that she saw them head off into the forest. The vast deep forest that she was now lying in.
The trees around her swayed in the wind a little. She slowly sat up and looked at the tree whose roots she tripped over. The tree was very old indeed. There were many wrinkles in it, and it seemed so very tall and its branches seemed to spread out at least fifteen feet from its base. Sau had her eyes fixed on the tree, and she soon stood and walked closer to it, to place her hand on the bark that seemed like if she touched it, it would crumble right then and there. Just as her hand got about an inch from the tree, she took her hand back, and sighed. She didn't need to be here, staring at some tree.. She needed to be finding her way out to... somewhere, and get there soon. The last thing she wanted was to be in the forest at night. She took a step away from the tree, and gasped when she heard a voice.
"Who's there?" the voice said. Sau wasn't sure if she should have answered.
"...You can talk?" she said, and got closer to the tree where the voice seemed to be coming from. "You must be really special."
She heard the voice scoff. "That's not true. I'm not special... No one wants to be around me, not even my friends. Sometimes they leave me alone. All by myself sometimes."
Sau sat down in front of the tree and smiled at it, but then remembered that it couldn't smile back at her due to it being a tree. She sighed and looked down at her feet. "I guess I know how you feel..."
"Hmm? You do?" the voice asked. It seemed surprised.
"Yes," she nodded and looked at the tree again. "I... I don't have any friends. Not really anyway. I have to be all alone most of the time."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I guess I'm like you then." she attempted to make the tree feel better. "It'll be okay."
"I'm so lonely though." the tree said.
"I am too, but... but you have to cheer up. You'll find someone to be your friend that you can be with all of the time. Just wait and see."
"Yeah, I guess you're right! Do you think that... they'll come soon?" the tree asked.
Sau stood up again and nodded. "Mm-hmm! Tell you what. I'll be you're friend and talk to you whenever you want me to okay?"
The tree was silent for a moment, and Sau could hear a few sniffles as if it were crying. Then it spoke. "Y...You would? Th..Thanks so much."
Sau smiled again, and was about to speak some more, but she looked up through the branches, and saw that is was almost dark. She frowned and looked at the tree again. "I'm sorry. I have to go now before it gets dark. Okay?"
The tree laughed. "Okay. I have to go now too."
They both laughed, and Sau turned to go, but then asked the tree a question.
"How can you go if you're a--" they both said at the same time, but Sau sighed and ran off in the direction she came from. Maybe Sudooru wouldn't mind if she came back... maybe just for one more night. After all, she didn't have to tell him that she wouldn't come back the next day.

"Where have you been, Meowth?!?" an angry Jesse screamed when Meowth came back to the balloon to find her and James. Meowth folded his arms and walked off to the balloon and climbed inside. Jesse growled and looked in at him. He was leaning against the side of the basket, staring at the other side, not really aware that Jesse was looking down at him. She shook and yelled at him, but he didn't care. He continued to stare at the side of the basket until she gave up and shrugged at James who did the same in return.
"Meowth's got something on his mind." James said, glancing over at the basket. He could see the tips of his ears poking out. "Something big I guess."
"Maybe we should go snap him out of it. He never really thinks THAT hard." Jesse said, frowning.
"Nah, we should let him handle it. I doubt he wants to talk to us anyway. The way we left him like that."
"I guess you're right, James." Jesse yawned and looked at her sleeping bag. "Let's get some rest. We can probably find that person the boss is talking about tomorrow."
"G'night, Jesse. Meowth." James climbed in his sleeping bag and cuddled up inside it. Jesse did the same with hers and soon they were both asleep. Meowth peeked from the balloon at them both and then smiled. For the first time in a long time, he was looking forward to the next day. To go and talk to the tree. His new friend... but he couldn't help but wonder how the tree spoke to him in the first place. Trees couldn't talk.... could they? He slid back down into the basket and fell asleep. Tomorrow was going to be a good day.

Ash and Pikachu walked for what seemed forever in the dark forest, and it was really late when Ash decided that they should rest for the night. Pikachu was already asleep in his arms, and so he leaned against a tree and nodded off to sleep. The dremt about the girl that had helped them, and that she was looking at him. He was looking at her, and she smiled. She came closer and grabbed his arm.
'Ash, is your arm feeling better?' the dream Sau asked him. He nodded and pointed to it to show that is was better, only when he did, he noticed that it was a brown color and bulging. He screamed as his arm formed into what looked like a fearow. Ash tried to shake it off, but it only got worse. the fearow got bigger and bigger and he was being engulfed by the fearow itself, becoming a part of it. It all went black as he closed his eyes in his dream, and then he felt himself.. flying. He opened his eyes, and he was flying. He WAS flying. Ash was flying toward... some... building. He had never seen the building before, but he flew instinctively toward it, and through the open window. It was then that he dropped something on the floor in front of some boy. The boy said something funny.. he couldn't understand it. Ash looked down and saw his... clawed feet, and under one of them was a girl. she was screaming in pain. The girl. He had seen her somewhere before. She was... Sau!
"SAU! NO!" Ash screamed. He looked down at Pikachu, still asleep in his arms. Looking up at the sky through the trees, he sighed in relief. "It was only a dream." he assured himself. "It had to be a dream."
