...Like a double update!

Chapter 3: Dying To Meet You.

I went back to sleep, the weird voice had invaded my dreams again. I felt wrong, the voice was goading my emotions, I was trying to wake, but the voice was keeping me asleep, I was running in this one, fleeing from something, it was something alien, I could tell that it wasn't normal. My body was screaming RUN! It's MewTwo, RUN! I felt exhausted, I couldn't keep running.

"STOP! You shall not keep pestering my champions!" It was the voice from before I was a pokémon! I couldn't believe it…

"What do you think that you can do? Yell at me? That's why you got the champions in the first place! Hah pathetic fool."

"I have enough power in dreams to stop you!"

"NO STOP! Don't attack! There is nothing that either of you can do to fight each other here, your brawl belongs in the real world." I said, waking up shortly after.

I tell the others of what I think the Team name should be. They accept it gracefully and say that it seems good for what we will be doing. The town was alight, with the remaining 3 shopkeepers, and a couple of visitors, it was very populated compared to the last time I was here… Kecleon had called us over, it was about something he wanted to give us… "I've got to give you these, they should help you manage your team." He had given me a bag, and a request. It was a request from another exploration team. I was reading it over when Jordan took it out of my hands and started reading aloud.

"Dear fellow adventurers, me and my team is looking for a town to stay in. We will not be intrusive and install a request board, or do a favor, if you allow us to stay in your town. From, Team Mirror." Kecleon nodded and had the note passed back to him. "Send them our way, we'll welcome them gladly!" I had agreed with what Jordan had said, he was right and we needed a request board. Plus someone to talk to wouldn't be so bad.

"To have a place for them to stay we will need a good amount of wood to build them a home… although if we have some dyes we could just repair a shop building." Kecleon was keeping track of what we needed to do, although he didn't have too. I wondered if we'd have to pay for his services later.

"Where can we find these dyes?" I asked, my mind distracted, only half paying attention.

"That would be in Blossom Meadows, there's supposedly a range of Rainbow flowers in the middle of it… Problem is that it's a Mystery Dungeon. Judging on how the surroundings have been it's been getting harder to get to the center though."

"We'll do it, trust us! Let's go Jordan, Thomas."

Jordan had lead us there, and I was doubting myself, I wondered if I was deserving of this second chance, a chance at a new life. "SNAP OUT OF IT! We need your full attention!" Jordan! I looked up and noticed that while I was thinking about life we had stumbled into a trap, or rather I had stumbled onto a trap. "Get off of that when I throw this rock, it's just a teleport trap… I had hoped that we wouldn't encounter it this soon on our adventuring, but I kinda knew that was impossible in this area… Step off, NOW!" I had tried to get off when he said, but when I jumped the rock never seemed to have hit, it warped with me as I jumped… I felt like I was floating, until I hit the ground and tumbled. I knew that I was on the same floor.

"Hello? Can anyone hear me?" I asked, waiting for a response, when I heard it the walls light up with the echoes, I could tell it was a confirmation from Jordan, problem is it came from every direction. I had to keep going, and hope I find the staircase, "If you find the stairs wait for me!" I had turned around, hoping that the staircase was in the next room, but only bad pokémon were in that room, I had attacked them, but not using scratch, it felt different, I felt stronger using it than I did using scratch… I knew that I should use that rather than scratch.

It was a simple hop, skip, and jump from that room, the pokémon made it kinda tough, and I had to eat something called an Oran Berry, but I got through it. I only knew that the Oran Berry healed because Jordan had me eat one last night before going to bed, he had told me about it then. I had waited at the staircase for the others to show up, I watched as Jordan and Thomas entered the room, they had explored a little and showed me what they picked up off of the floor, and I told them what I had done. It was a quick sum-up from both of us, but it wasn't that easy to describe to them what had happened. I had told them what I did and how I felt when doing in.

"You must have used Pursuit, it's a common Dark-type move." Thomas said. Somethings change I suppose, I kinda wish I had it when I was in the Resonant Bluffs, but I have it now, and that's when it's useful. I had doubts about myself again, but I shook them out as it would be dangerous to hold on to them while I was exploring, that required full focus! The complexities of exploring were only safe when putting full focus into what you are doing. I felt something hit me, I had unfocused while trying to regain focus. I turned and used Pursuit, and took another hit from a grass-type called Bellsprout. I had traded places with Thomas to hope that he would do a little more damage. He hadn't done much but it was enough, as the Bellsprout fainted. Thomas was edgey, he was nervous. I told Jordan to stop as I turned and asked him why he was nervous.

"This was my mother's choice of where I should grow up… I had spent most of my childhood here, but something changed… And it's only gotten worse." he said. It was strange how he was acting, it was as if he was afraid of something here. I had a strange itch also, it was certainly unpleasant standing here. I could feel something moving, and not here, but at the center of the meadow. We had to keep moving though, had to get the dye.

"Come on, let's go and make sure we get someone here to help just in case. Team Mirror seems like good people, so they would probably be good chatters." I said to help put some spring in their step. I had hoped that we weren't that far, we went around collecting the items to each floor to make sure that we weren't missing anything of great value to the future. I had picked up a strange seed, but only held onto it. Figuring it wasn't of much importance, I continued, it wasn't long before we had reached the final floor, it was a grueling 7 floors, I had taken a little damage, enough to require an Oran Berry, I had witnessed what happens when someone eats an Oren Berry, not pretty, it doesn't just sap the life out of someone, if they faint they throw-up their insides, I watched as a Budew ate an Oren Berry, I was told to turn around, but I couldn't, I just watched as the Budew fell over and had emptied what it had eaten. I've got to remember to throw those away.

I had entered the final room last, Jordan and Thomas were first. It was a strange room, it was nice, tranquil, but scary, and disgusting. There was nothing to attack here, "The dyes are over here." Thomas called, pointing to a bush. Jordan went and collected the dyes, I saw a strange pink cube, it was just floating there… I reached out and picked it up. I put it away in the bag we got earlier. We had collected all we needed, and went out.

It was a short trip back, and Kecleon was waiting in town. I tossed him the dyes, told him to pick a useless shop. He said that they would take the shop to get TM's, he would start stocking them. During the day he had gone and got Pelipper, and requested for the Mailshop to be opened. "Pelipper should be down there, on the left. If you want to send some mail to Team Mirror…" I had told him that the Meadows felt wrong, the center felt disgusting, It was unnatural. He had said that it's been feeling that way, but never before.

I had walked up to Pelipper, "Hello, and welcome to the Mail Centre. I can send any mail to any subsidiary exploration teams, and I can send remote requests back to sender with required stuff. You want to send the request back? I'll take it from you." He took the request, and handed me some paper. "Write a letter to send with the request, let them know your intentions." I wrote something up quickly. "Alright, you sure you want that sent? WINGULL! Come here! We have business!"

"Yes boss? A letter? Which recipients? Team Mirror? MM-kay, be back soon!"

"Alright, the letter will be there by tonight." Pelipper had done what I had thought he would do.

Author's note

Yes, I got a couple chapters done, I've got a game-plan in mind of how this is all going to go. It's going to be a trip, to say the least.
