Walcekite turned around to see a big tree with many and long branches. A few of the branches had lost almost all of their leaves and the others had some brown or yellow almost dead leaves. One of the branches shimmered and moved. A pokemon jumped down from them.

"A Purrloin?!" Walcekite shouted with surprise.

"Meow," nodded the Purrloin and went to the girl with two sleeping pokemon.

The Purrloin pointed at Meilli with its front paw and Walcekite squat down still holding Meilli in her arms. Only then she saw how Meilli and Pela were sparkling pink and she quickly remembered what this could be. It was Dream Mist, probably produced by Musharna or Munna. Walcekite felt embarrassed that she didn't realize it sooner, but as she was like that, the Purrloin went to Meilli and opened its mouth. The dream mist that landed on Meilli was sucked in by Purrloin and Meilli woke up.

"Agh, Meilli. You're awake," smiled Walcekite and let her down. Meilli looked at Purrloin, who bowed and was ready to leave, but Walcekite stopped him. "Um, thank you very much, but… could you wake Pela up as well?" she got the kitten pokemon out of the bag and lied it down in front of Purrloin.

It quickly started eating Pela's dreams as well and when the pink cloud engulfing her was gone, Pela woke up and mewed joyfully.

"Thank you so much," smiled Walcekite at Purrloin still in a squat position and petted both of her awake pokemon. "How did you learn Dream Eater?"

Meilli said something to Purrloin, probably that she can telepathically repeat its words to Walcekite, but Purrloin shook its head and quickly ran to the forest. Walcekite got up and bowed to the hidden Purrloin. She wanted to catch it, but as it helped them so much, she decided to find another one. As Walcekite raised her head to the sky, she saw that the Dream Mist had ended. She felt relieved that it didn't start to spread more than over StriatonCity and as she took a last look at the city, she ventured deeper into Route 3.


Not long after, Walcekite came across a pokemon Day Care. She bought some food for herself and her pokemon that Meilli and Pela would get something to eat before finding and battling a needed Purrloin, though they didn't eat then.

Children were amazed by the cute and tough pokemon that were such good friends with their trainer. Children were always petting and chasing the little ones or even trying to battle them, but Walcekite refused to accept the challenges especially because they were inside the Day Care the whole time. After about an hour or so, Walcekite retrieved Meilli and Pela to their pokeballs and went searching for her goal.

Soon she reached a fork in the road. One led to WellspringCave and another led to NacreneCity. Walcekite didn't need to go to WellspringCave, so she turned south. She was following the road for a while, but soon turned to the forest, to have a higher chance to find some pokemon. Before long Walcekite saw a big tree stump in a forest clearing and decided to have lunch there. She let out Meilli and Pela and they started eating their pokemon food. They ate very lady like - chewed before swallowing and took small bites. Walcekite smiled at the ladies and lay down on the stump. She looked at the light blue sky and felt so calm. She closed her eyes to submerged into the noises of the forest, but it suddenly went quiet. She opened her eyes, everything seemed normal and Meilli with Pela finished eating at that moment.

"Let's go catch us a Purrloin!" Walcekite was pumped and so were her pokemon. After leaving the small forest clearing, Walcekite commanded. "Go search the front for Purrloins and if any of you find one, then Meilli – shoot Shadow Ball to the sky, and Pela – use an Ice Beam."

Both pokemon nodded and jumped into the forest. Strangely enough they couldn't be seen even a meter away. Walcekite didn't intend to just stick around and went after her pokemon, though a lot slower. There were many branches and bushes that didn't want Walcekite to go trough them, but none were a match for her. No sounds were heard except the breaking of the forest's flora – no bird pokemon, no land pokemon, nothing. It began to seem pretty creepy.

Suddenly, both Shadow Ball and Ice Beam were shot to the sky and Walcekite ran towards the attack creators. They repeated the attacks a few times until Walcekite finally managed to escape the forest and reach a clearing with a cliff. Both Meilli and Pela were there in attack stance, but what they wanted to attack wasn't a Purrloin.

It was huge compared to even Walcekite. It had white fur and seemingly white feathers. Its arm limbs were wings and it stood on two back legs. It had a long voluminous and wispy mane, parted in two, streaming from the top of its head. It's tail somehow resembled a turbine.

Walcekite gasped in awe and froze at the magnificence of Reshiram, but it didn't seem to be friendly. A few seconds after Walcekite's arrival, he used Hyper Voice while turned to the girl. Everyone except Reshiram tried to cover their ears. It was easy for Walcekite, but Meilli and Pela had problems. They tried reaching their ears, but both had little limbs and couldn't do it. They started struggling and backing up to the edge of the cliff.

"Stop!" Walcekite shouted at all three pokemon, but no one heard her and Meilli with Pela were at the edge of the cliff. Walcekite started running with hands still on her ears, but Reshiram smacked her away with one of his wings when she got close enough. Walcekite quickly got up, though she was in serious pain, but no time should have been wasted. She ran further from Reshiram than the first time and was very close to Meilli, but Reshiram stomped with one foot and both pokemon, still in pain from the noise, flung back and started to fall.

"NOOO!" screamed Walcekite and jumped after them. She caught Meilli, but Pela was about three meters from her.

Walcekite tried to "swim" in the air, but it didn't help. "Please, let me save her," whispered Walcekite not understanding who did she ask, but Pela was pushed to her by some kind of power. With both pokemon in her arms, Walcekite did a back flip in the air and then her back was pointing at the ground.

"Everything is going to be okay," she tried to calm the pokemon down, who were shivering in her arms. Both raised their heads to their master and wanted to say something, but didn't make it.


Walcekite opened her eyes. She was looking at the light blue sky. She felt something soft and warm in her arms. She was hugging Meilli and Pela. Something wet went down her cheek. The experience was almost heart breaking. Meilli and Pela raised their heads, their eyes were also sparkling from tears. They were alive. They didn't feel pain. What happened?

"We are alive," smiled Walcekite while breathing deeply, like she wanted to calm down. "Both of you are alright," she hugged Meilli and Pela tighter and both of them purred. "I wouldn't know what I would do without you."

When Walcekite came to all of her senses, she realized they were in the same forest clearing they decided to eat and were lying on the big tree stump. Walcekite sat up, looked around and immediately saw some pokemon.

"Purrloins!" gasped Walcekite and Meilli with Pela, knowing what their trainer wants, jumped in front of the Purrloins and went into battle stance.

There were five Purrloins: two of them were smirking, other two were frightened and the middle one and in front, was with its head down, as if it was ashamed. That Purrloin turned to Meilli and said something to her. After it finished talking, other Purrloins seemed irritated.

"He said that he is sorry for using Yawn on us and that the other Purrloin forced him to do it," explained Meilli.

"Ugh…okay…So we were dreaming and having a nightmare because of you? And are you the same pokemon that ate Meilli's and Pela's dreams earlier?" it didn't seem Walcekite was angry, just curious.

The Purrloin nodded and turned to the other Purrloin. It seemed he wanted to go, but two of the Purrloins, that were smirking before, were ready to attack him. They both pounced on him and while one used Scratch, the other used Furry Swipes. The other two Purrloins, that were frightened from the start, ran to the woods.

"Hey! Two on one isn't fair!" shouted Walcekite and both Meilli with Pela jumped to the Purrloin's side. "Well… Three on two isn't fair either, but you started!" Now Walcekite was furious and was thinking what attacks should her pokemon use, but that wasn't needed – the Purrloins got scared and ran off.

Those attacks left quite deep marks on Purrloin and Walcekite used a potion on the devious pokemon, though it didn't seem devious now. He started to talk with Meilli again and after their talk, Meilli summarized.

"They were pranking people around this forest for quite a long time and usually with this Purrloin's Yawn, they would make the people fall asleep and dream nightmares. But when he saw that you were protecting us from something that was happening in the nightmare, he ate our dreams and we woke up, but the other Purrloins were not pleased. This wasn't the first time this Purrloin failed in his pranking mission and they finally kicked him out of the gang."

"But it didn't seem you enjoyed being there. So why did you hang out with those guys?" Walcekite inquired.

Purrloin sighed and explain some other things to Meilli.

"He wanted to be a part of something. Both of his parents were captured by trainers and he didn't want to be alone."

"Well, you can stop worrying about that," Walcekite smiled. "Because you are more than welcome to join us."

Purrloin was confused, but a smile appeared on his face non the less. He meowed and Meilli translated.

"He said he will join us only if we defeat him in battle."

"You are on!" agreed Walcekite and the opponents took their places and the sides of the forest clearing.


"Go, Pela!" the kitten pokemon mewed and got pumped for battle with Purrloin. "Pela, use Thunder Wave!"

Lightning flew towards Purrloin and though it jumped to evade the attack, the lightning turned as well and hit the bullseye. The Purrloin could barely move and sparks flew around him.

"Pela, use attract!" from Meilli's translation it seemed Purrloin was a boy, it was time to test that.

Purrloin made a short jump to the side, but the pink hearts managed to form a circle around him and shrunk to its body. Purrloin was infatuated.

"So he is a boy after all." Walcekite thought. "I'll need to change the name I decided to give to a girl Purrloin." she was positive she would win.

Purrloin had goo goo eyes for Pela and she really enjoyed that, but this was no time to have sassy moments.

"Pela, use Water Pulse!"

Pela's Water Pulse was always too small to engulf someone into it, but this time she made it bigger and Purrloin got trapped inside of it. Screams of pain were heard from the trapped pokemon.

"Pela, use Ice Beam!" Purrloin wasn't even released from the Water Pulse and the water ball he was in - froze. "Pela, hit the ball with Water Pulse that way that it would fly to the nearest tree."

Pela got closer to the ground and shot a water ball from her mouth so that it would hit the middle of the ice ball and make fly upwards. When the ice ball hit the tree, it shattered and the Purrloin fell hard to the ground. With much effort, the Purrloin got up, and although still infatuated, used Yawn and quickly got to Pela to do some damage with Furry Swipes. Pela didn't feel different then, but Walcekite knew what was about to happen and commanded her pokemon.

"Pela, you have to finish Purrloin off in this turn! Use Water Pulse!"

A water ball was big enough the second time that Purrloin would be engulfed, but as he struggled in water, Pela grew drowsy and fell to the ground. When Purrloin was released from the water ball, it smirked, happy his Yawn worked. It was obvious that he couldn't take another hit, but as he went to Pela, to eat her dreams, he restored some health points. It seemed he wanted to do some damage, but the infatuation prevented him that time from attacking.

"Finish him off with Water Pulse!" Walcekite didn't waste time and commanded immediately.

And finally, Purrloin couldn't take so much water and while still paralyzed, got sucked into one of Walcekite's pokeballs. Walcekite hoped that paralyzation works inside a pokeball too and that it can stop the pokemon from escaping, but she didn't know if that was a true fact.

One wiggle… Two wiggles… Three wiggles… and the red blinking light turned off.

"Yeah! Purrloin is mine!" rejoiced Walcekite and Pela next to her. "Now, come out, Purrloin!"

Purrloin meowed when appearing on the ground and smiled at his new master.

"Purrloin, can I give you a nickname?" asked Walcekite and Purrloin nodded. "Great, I want to name you Chesire. I think this name has a beautiful ring to it."

Purrloin nodded again and his name was decided, but suddenly, something rustled in the bushes a few meters from them.

"Come out! Show yourselves!" shouted Walcekite and two Purrloin jumped from the bushes. They meowed and hissed at Chesire, like he did something terrible, like he betrayed them.

Chesire looked shamefully away, but Pela jumped to them and used Thunder Wave so they would shut up and it worked. As one got hit by the lightning, the other ran away.

"Let's go Chesire. You don't need to take this." As the Chesire nodded, he was retrieved into his pokeball and Pela jumped on her master's shoulder. Meilli, who was watching the entire battle, did the same.


Finally Walcekite found the way to the normal road and continued her journey to Nacrene City.
