Pokémon Champion Journey Ch7: Nightmares
Nick's dream started off in the same field he met Caitlin in, but the sky was an eerie shade of purple and there was a constant breeze that kept on flowing past him. Suddenly a hole appeared in the sky and a dragon flew out of it. The dragon was large and grey, had gold half rings circling the back of its neck. A thick black stripe that ran vertically along the front with red horizontal stripes.
"What is that thing!?" Nick said reaching for his pokédex but he didn't have it or his pokéballs for that matter. He was alone facing a giant beast that he knew nothing about. Was this thing a Pokémon or what? Nick started running away but the dragon was too fast and it ate him.
When he came to, Nick looked around to see his friends were inside the belly of the beast. However they had seen better days.
Sam was covered with burn marks and cuts from head to toe. He also had a black eye, and his legs were bent in a way no human's should ever bend. This was calm compared to what Caitlin looked like. She was covered in claw marks, had strangle lines on her neck, broken arms and legs. Then when he looked closely he saw her eyes, the ones he thought were perfect, were bleeding and swollen.
Nick didn't know what to do, his friends were hurt and he didn't know how. He felt like he was going to go insane just from looking at the scene before him. Just then a bright light filled the room and Nick closed his eyes expecting whatever monster that mutilated his friends to come back for him.
When he opened his eyes Nick saw that a tiny pink feline like Pokémon was floating in front of him
"What's wrong?" it asked looking at Nick with a worried expression
"M-my f-friends they- they were-" Nick stammered
"Don't worry Nick you just had a nightmare. Your friends are okay." The feline said
"Thanks" Nick said with a sigh of relief "Wait how do you know my name?" Nick asked
"Oh, I can read minds" the feline said happily
"Well what's your name?" Nick asked
"I'm Mew" the little feline said as it floated away ending Nick's Nightmare
When Nick woke up he noticed that Sam and Caitlin were gone. At first he panicked and calmed down once he saw a note on the dresser. He got up and read the letter.
When you get up meet us in the lunch room
-Caitlin
P.S. You're cute when you sleep
At first Nick's face went red when he read the last part of the letter. Sure his mom called him cute before, but she was a mom. It was expected she would call him that. Yet a girl that he met a few days ago had called him cute. Reading that made Nick forget all about his Nightmare as he got dressed to find his friends.
