~Chloe~

We were walking for a while. My trainer- or should I call him Cole- and I ran into some battles along the way. I know I don't get into fights often but I gotta admit, they were fun! After we walked for about an hour or two and after about the tenth battle, we stopped. Cole praised me for all the work I had been through. After all, I did gain three levels and learned a new move: Swift.

"Nice work, Chloe!" He said. "You're tough for such a little thing. Here, have an Oran berry."

I took the berry and wolfed it down. Boy was I hungry! I started to walk some more but he stopped me.

"We should stop for a minute. We've been walking for a while. We should rest up."

I wanted to keep going but, I had to listen. I heaved a big sigh. He sat down and leaned against a tree. I walked up to him and sat down.

"You really want to find your friend don't you?"

I gave a slow, tired nod.

"I feel the same. I hope my brother is alright. This is the longest I've been without him."

I yawned and lay down. I was ready to go to sleep.

"I guess we'll have to wait 'till morning." He said.

I closed my eyes, imagining myself as a human again. Nikki was there too. I saw her trainer as well. Cole was there too. We all looked like happy friends. We were all in a place that looked like my neighborhood. We were walking and chatting. I couldn't hear anything though. It seemed as if I was watching a silent film, without the music.

After a few minutes, I did hear something. It was me talking to everyone.

"So, what are your plans for your Pokémon journey?" I asked with a smile.

"Training Pokémon to be their very best!" Cole and Nikki's trainer said at the same time.

"Catching all Pokémon and filling my Pokedex." My sister said, returning my smile.

"Well, I'm going to form my perfect dream team. Filled with my favorite Pokémon." I said. "Starting with…"

I pulled out a Pokeball from my pocket. I pressed the button. A white glow emerged from the opened Pokeball and landed on the ground. I could almost make out the shape of the Pokémon. It looked sort of like a-

Then, I was jolted awake by an ice cold wind. I shivered and closed my eyes, trying to go back to sleep. As I closed my eyes for the second time and I felt something brush against me. I opened my eyes and saw Cole placing me on his lap. I figured that he saw me shiver and thought I would be warmer next to him. He stroked my fur and I quickly fell asleep. I started dreaming again. I knew I had to find my sister sooner or later.

Hopefully, it was sooner.
