The Pokemon Sisters

Chapter 3: Just a Dream

Gaika woke up.

It took a few confused blinks for the girl to remember her dream. So it wasn't real? She thought, disappointed. There were no Pokemon…

She had never been so frustrated. For just a minute, she had thought…oh, whatever. Gaika sat up, staring at the PC screen for the third time—or was it second? Had she fallen asleep before or after her sisters had left? Had her sister's left?

"Flame? Asaia? Nicola?"

Silence. I guess that's a yes. Gone to their stupid convention. I wish I hadn't put off my journey for a year, now…

Briiiiiiiiing! Briiiiiiiiing!

The phone. Humph, they had doubtless called to gloat. Nicola's Swellow had probably one a contest; Flame had most likely impressed a bunch of people by showing them a picture of Lugia or some such fabled creature, and Gaika wouldn't be surprised if Asaia and her Ninetails had won seventeen battles already.

"Hello?" she snapped.

"Sorry if I caught you in a bad mood, Gaika."

Gaika turned red with embarrassment. "No, it's ok, Professor. Sorry."

Professor Birch smiled. "Anyway, Gaika, I was wondering if you could come down to my lab for a bit. We've found something very odd, and I was hoping you could give us a hand."

"I'll be right down."

As she hung up and pulled on her shoes again—no, wait, that had been in her dream too, hadn't it? —Gaika tried to remember what had happened in her sleep. She could barely remember what Pokemon had been there. And every detail she tried to remember slipped away faster then ever, until she couldn't recall any of it at all.

This is so annoying! It was so real and now it just wants to get away. As Gaika walked to the Lab, she kicked angrily at a rock in her path, earning her no more then a bruised toe.

Erg!

"Hey Gaika! You got my dads call, then?"
Gaika turned to see Brendan smiling at her. "Yeah. What does he want?"
The boy shrugged. "He hasn't even told me. Something about a prophecy, I think. Anyway, I should be going. Dad wants me to go to Oldale town for more potions. See ya, Gaika!"

Gaika waved goodbye, then headed again towards the lab, her spirits lifted slightly. When she arrived, the Professor greeted her good-naturedly and led her inside.

"Gaika, I'd like you to meet someone. This is Professor Oak."

Sorry it was short.

Bye.
