Sorry for the late update. I was out shopping for stuff to make for dinner tonight with my mom. My mom's going to be at a concert in Detroit tonight so I needed to get something I could make.

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

I woke up, sitting directly upright in my bed. My mind was racing, what could everything in my dream mean? Was Mew part of an extinct species? That seemed impossible, every bit of information I knew about legendaries said that there had only ever been one of each. But this was definitely what it sounded like.

I quickly stopped my thoughts and redirected them to a fake nightmare, fearing that Mew was nearby. It could be disastrous if she found out I knew what had happened at the meeting she had attended.

I waited for a couple of minutes, listening for any sign of the little, pink, mouse-like Pokémon's return. After a while of waiting, and guarding my thoughts with the nightmare I had made up to shield what I had previously been thinking I heard a small thump outside the tent. The zipper of the tent started to unzip. Mew stepped in and zipped the tent door back up behind her.

"Hey Mew," I said, trying to keep my voice even, "How did the meeting go?"

"Fine," she replied. This was a lie, but I figured that Mew wouldn't tell me about what had happened, "I see you had a nightmare."

I nodded, amplifying the fake thoughts in my head, pretending her mentioning of it made my mind drift back to the terrible dream.

"Oh, sorry," Mew said sympathetically.

"No, no," I said, letting a bit of fear drip into my voice, "It's alright."

Mew gave a sad look toward me, "No, I really shouldn't have mentioned it."

I started to let the frightening thoughts drift away, surprised at how well I could control my thoughts, "Don't worry," I sighed, "I'm not one to let something like a dream scare me for long."

"How much longer do you think it'll take to get to Lavender?" Dana asked as we were packing the tent up in the morning.

"Knowing my luck, probably only a couple of minutes," I commented, "I have a feeling we'll find that we didn't need to camp out here at all.

I was, unfortunately correct. It didn't take a few minutes, but it certainly didn't take long to get to Lavender Town. Dana and I had to battle a few trainers, though we could have avoided them if we had taken the way around to the east.

We fought against Picnicker Carol who carried a Pidgey and a Pidgeotto. Both were made easy by Kadabra with his newer move, Shock Wave. Next we battled Hiker Clark who used the typical Pokémon for a hiker, a Geodude and an Onix. Kadabra levelled up during this battle.

The last trainer we fought was another hiker, Trent. He used an Onix and a Graveler. Both of his Pokémon were at a lower level than the other hiker's, so he was easy to take out.

Within about twenty minutes Dana and I arrived in Lavender Town and headed to the Pokémon Center to heal our Pokémon.

"See," I pointed out, "I knew this would be the case. We didn't need to camp out after all."

Dana smiled, "But we could have tripped off of the ledge we had to hop off of. Knowing you, you might have broken a leg."

I laughed, "You're probably right."

Once Nurse Joy was finished healing our Pokémon, Dana turned to me, "And now, you and I have a battle to get too."

I chuckled, "Of course."

We stepped outside and prepared for the battle. We were both had an advantage and a disadvantage. We knew each other's Pokémon and moves, but we had to remember the other person knew our team as well.

I knew Dana still had Ember on her Charmeleon, which could do super effective damage to Ivysaur, though that would have been basic knowledge. I also knew that both of her Pokémon had accuracy lowering moves, Charmeleon had Smoke Screen and Pidgeotto had Sand Attack. Also, her Pidgeotto had Quick Attack, which could put fairly good damage on quickly.

She also knew things about my Pokémon; like that I had Poisonpowder and Leech Seed on Ivysaur, that I had Aerial Ace on Fearow, which was a move not affected by accuracy, and that I had Shock Wave on Kadabra, which was also not affected by accuracy and could probably insta-KO her Pidgeotto.

Once everything was ready, all of the people cleared away and our glass panels up and ready to show us our Pokémon's health we sent out our first Pokémon. Dana sent out her Charmeleon, which was at level 31 and I sent out Fearow at level 30.

My turn was first because of Fearow's wonderful speed stat. I used an Aerial Ace which did about a third damage to Charmeleon.

Charmeleon used Ember on Fearow causing her to drop down to a third of her health remaining. Dana knew it was wise to target Fearow's lower defence and use a move that would give a STAB.

On my next turn I had Fearow use Aerial Ace again to bring Charmeleon down to the same amount of health she was at.

Unfortunately Charmeleon's Ember hit again, causing Fearow to faint. This didn't worry me very much. She was weaker not only in levels, but also in both her attacking skills and defence stats. She did better than I would have expected against such a powerful foe.

The next Pokémon I sent out was Kadabra, who had no trouble knocking Kadabra out with a Psybeam on my turn. Kadabra's speed was high, making him go first as well and his special attack was also getting rather high. All of this combined with the STAB made it an easy KO.

Dana had no choice but to send out her Pidgeotto against my powerhouse of a Pokémon, who had a definite hit super effective attack. She used Quick Attack, making her Pokémon attack first.

I watched as Kadabra's health went down, past half, 'No, not again,' I thought to myself, desperately hoping that Kadabra could hold on through this obvious critical hit.

Finally Kadabra's health bar stopped dropping, only about ten hit points remaining. A message, 'Critical hit!' appeared on my screen.

I sighed in relief, I was lucky that the critical hit hadn't knocked out my Kadabra. I guessed Pidgeotto's attack wasn't quite high enough to knock him out with one Critical hit.

I had Kadabra finish off the Pidgeotto with a Shock Wave, knocking it out in one hit, like I had predicted. Kadabra grew to level 32 because of this knock out.

Dana and I returned her Pokémon, as did I.

"Good battle," Dana commented, "You really do have quite the team."

"Thanks," I responded, "I'm lucky I have attacks that don't rely on accuracy, or else you could have easily rendered my team incapable of doing anything."

Dana chuckled, "That certainly is tough to deal with. Plus your Pokémon, besides Ivysaur, are very fast."

"All part of my strategy," I said, "I use fast Pokémon of different types. This way I can almost always get the first hit, at least half of the time getting a super effective hit. And when I don't get to go first I'll often have a Pokémon that can withstand the attack."

"Smart," Dana said.

"Did you expect anything else?" I joked.

We went back into the Pokémon Center to heal our Pokémon for a second time before going out to explore Lavender Town.
