Thank you so much for those who have taken the time to read my story so far! I reallllly appreciate it! Review as much as you like it means a lot to me ^_^

In this chapter Orchid was meant to clean the rescue team base….but she's been a bit tired from their departure of the Tiny Woods so, she needed a break.

***Note: In the dream sequence it is ALL Orchids' point of view, even the narration. This also means that she is talking in third person. Hopefully this will make sense as you read it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon but you know….it's a great series J


Chapter 4: Orchid's first dream


"This base….it's so messy….I've got a LOT of work ahead of me it seems….."

Orchid sat down on the grass outside of the base, not even bothering to venture inside. Judging from the looks on the outside, the inside had to be pretty dusty and dirty; she wouldn't be able to sleep with her sensitive perception to smell.

"But….I said I would help Flametail! So I have to do this! Its my duty as a….poke-"

Orchid paused to think. She wasn't exactly a Pokémon for she had the features of a human. Yet…she wasn't a human either.

"It will be my duty as a poke-human!"

So she settled for a combination of both.

"But first…I think I'll take a nap. The energy spent from that trek through the forest…."

She plopped down in the grass.

"….I'll just sleep here."

And with that she dozed off~

******Dream Sequence*******

"It was a cold, gloomy morning in the lands of Norway, which was just perfect for a certain young and somewhat lazy bulbasaur by the name of Orchid. Yes indeed she couldn't wait to just spend the entire day in relaxation, tranquility and-"

A sudden knock came to the bedroom door.

"Are you talking in third person again?" Flametail invited himself in, the flames dancing on his tail had a certain shine to them, as if rays of sunlight caused them to glow with unnatural beauty, even though the curtains were closed (and there wasn't any sunlight anyway)

"There is nothing wrong with talking in third person. Orchid enjoys it very much so thank you."

Flametail chuckled and walked over to the window. The way his sharp claws moved about the fabric, the way is muscled twitched ever so slightly as he gazed out to the horizon...magnificence at its best, its greatest its most wonderful-

"Orchid. Come over here and take a look at this."

And then the handsome young prince invites the lowly villager to bask in his glory at the window.

She lets a sigh escape from her lips before she realizes it, and blushes.

"Orchid? You all right?"

And while contemplating her thoughts, the young prince comes over to her in close proximity, their faces almost touching. Her eyes widen a bit in surprise, and soften as the Prince playfully pats her on the head.

"Orrrrrchid."

She hears the great Prince call her name and mutters a phrase under her breath that the prince is not able to hear:

"I adore you."

Then she takes his hand in hers, gently stroking the soft skin and smoothing out any kinks. She slowly shifts her gaze to look directly into his eyes and he blushes at her sudden straightforwardness. She can't believe she's doing it either but she is.

"Orchid? What are you looking-?"

She cuts off her prince's heavenly voice with a finger to his lips. She still holds his hand, the warmth that she longs for in the house where she forgot to turn the heater on last night. She chuckles at the thought.

"Orchid, what's so funny?"

Her Prince looks at her concerned and tries to shift his hand away, but she holds onto it tighter and brings it to her lips.

She whispers...

"And then the lowly village girl brings his hand slowly to her lips and kisses it, wishing that the prince could be and always would be hers. Wishing that he would always share feelings of love for her even when in death they would part."

The prince hears her this time and blushes, a slight grin on his face. He takes the hand she kissed and puts it on her cheek, doing the same with the other. He brings their foreheads together, their noses touching and both their eyes twinkling in utter bliss.

He begins to speak once more, his voice causing the very insides of the lowly village girl to melt.

"If I am the Prince..." he pauses for a moment and then speaks softly...

"Since I AM the Prince...I shall always be yours, because you will always be mine. Always, even when in death we shall part."

He leans in more and kisses her passionately on the lips, the lowly village girl marveling in the scent of his smoky breath and the tickling of his bright orange locks on her cheeks. As they part she smiles blushing ever so slightly and wraps her arms around him, placing her head on his chest. He moves closer to her and strokes her long brown hair, twirling his fingers throughout the subtle green-waves.

"I don't know if its the rainy day or what...but..." the prince pauses for a moment as the village girl stares into his eyes

"...But Orchid, I always enjoy spending times like this...with you." He kisses her forehead and she smiles.

Outside, the rain begins to pick up; a soft pitter-patter sound on the roof could be heard. The two snuggle closer together and watch the rain fall peacefully.

"The village girl enjoys it too"

******End Dream sequence******

Orchid smiles as she lays on the grass, the loving feelings from her dreams apparent on her face.

"Flametail….I-"

Her eyes flutter open a bit. She realizes it was all a dream as she wakes up in the same spot she had been in before. Her face turns red at the thought of it all.

"I've just met him! I can't feel this way about a complete stranger! Gross!"

She shakes her head furiously in denial, but then abruptly stops to think.

"That dream though….it seemed so…familiar? But why?"

She stared up at the sky and sighed, tracing the constellation of a Chansey with her fingers.

"What does it mean?" She rolls around and put her face in the grass, sniffing the only familiar scent in the strange world around her. No matter what world she was in, plants gave her comfort.

"Maybe I should just go back to sleep. Then again…" She mumbled to herself in frustration, her face turning red yet again from the thought of her and Flametail in the dream.

She sat with her face in the grass for about an hour before she turned back around to look at the sky. It was still night, which meant she hadn't completely wasted her chance to fix the base yet. That's when it hit her.

"That dream! That's not my dream!"

She jumped to her feet in excitement.

"That dream! It was a story my mother read to me when I was little! That means….that means I'm not in love with Flametail! He' just some random guy I met…yeah yeah…Great! ^_^"

She danced around and clumsily fell to the ground, laughing at herself for ever thinking such obscene thoughts.

During her fit of laughter though, there was a rustle in the trees. She hadn't noticed but, the bushes had a bit of a blackish tint to them…..


Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! What could be that rustling sound eh? Weird… ^_^

You'll find out soon enough my darling readers!
