Author's Note: Freakingly busy week with work. I'll leave you guys with something stupid.
"Let me get this straight," Shock said as he rubbed his forehead while he tried to stall an incoming headache. "We went inside the ruins. The Unown then trapped us each inside a psychic sphere-thing where we dreamt of happy things while they 'leeched off of our energy?'"
I simply nodded as I chewed a berry. "I think they just feed on positive energy. I woke up after I wasn't feeling happy anymore..."
All five of us were now awake, and we all sat around the small pile of berries that Zubat collected. It was also already morning, where the sun was just starting to crawl out from the horizon, if the early morning colors were any indication. Our location was surrounded by trees anyway.
I was really happy to see them all awake. They immediately started eating to get some strength.
"And then," Shock continued, waving a paw at me. "You 'managed' to 'wake up' and started firing shadow balls at them. They escaped, and you dragged us out of there, all by your lonesome?"
"Well," I swallowed. "Yeah." The Zubat doesn't count. I did all the dragging. And carrying.
"Puh," he scoffed in disbelief. "I think you're still dreaming."
I frowned at him.
Fay, despite still being weak, jumped on her spot as she chirped. "Oh! Oh! Maybe Jay evolved again!"
I turned to her and frowned even further. "I did... I just didn't know how I did it..." I then turned back to Shock, my frown still present. "And I still can't believe you dreamt about us se-having sex to death."
Shock just shrugged. "Hey. It's always my dream to see my friends happy. Of course," he took a berry, "the sex happened after we were done adventuring in our lifetime. I'm gonna miss seeing you guys in your evolved forms though."
I sighed. I already knew who I was paired with. Thankfully, Saur sat in between Vixie and I. Fay was seated on my other side. Shock sat beside Vixie and Fay.
Hm...
"Shock," I called, catching his attention as he chewed. "Just curious. Who was Saur paired with?"
"In my dream?"
I nodded.
He shrugged. "Nah. It might ruin the surprise."
I arched him an eyebrow.
He shrugged again. "Ask him if you wanna know."
"I hate you." I then turned to the Bulbasaur. He looked like he didn't hear anything. Oh, and he's not-so-yellow anymore, which was really comforting to know. "Saur?"
"Hm?" he turned to me, with a half-eaten berry on his vine-hold.
I deadpanned at him. "...don't tell me you didn't hear my question with Shock just now."
He just blinked with an 'innocent' smile. "Nope. What was it?"
I sighed, and felt my ears droop as I heard Fay and Vixie chuckle. "Never mind." I looked back at him again. "So, what did you dream about?"
He shrugged and looked back at his berry. "Same as Shock, minus the adventure and that 'activity to death' part."
"So you did hear us..."
He ignored me. "Was just happy raising a family as an Ivysaur."
I blinked at that. "Ivysaur? Why not a Venusaur?"
Shock suddenly began laughing. "Hahahah! Poor girl's gonna get flattened if Saur evolves into that!"
Vixie shot him a glare as Fay laughed along.
I just shook my head before I turned my attention to Fay, her laughter already died down. "What about you?"
She blinked at me with a smile. "What about me?"
I glared at her.
She chuckled. "Same as Saur. Enjoying a life with my own family."
"I'm sure your kids would be pooping with energy," I shook my head and turned to Vixie. She opened her mouth, but I stalled her with a raised paw. "I already know. Me and you, raising a family. Yeah, not happening."
Vixie rolled her eyes and continued eating a berry.
I turned to Shock. "What about you, Shock?"
"Huh?"
"Kinda unfair if only us were 'having fun' while you weren't."
Shock blinked at me, then frowned, and then stared at the berry on his paw. "Erm..."
I blinked with a sly smile. "Oh? So you weren't just watching in the sidelines. Well, was it that...Pikachu back in Vi—"
"Arceus, no!" Shock suddenly said, glaring daggers at me. "That will not happen! Never! Period!"
"You mean, 'exclamation mark,'" Fay giggled.
"Shut it," Shock snapped at her. He then glared back at me again. "It was Vixie, okay?! Not that Pik...uh..." Shock's red spots on his cheeks grew, almost painting his whole face in red. He looked away, angrily mumbling something.
I was just staring at him in...shock. "Wow..." Busted. I grinned, looking at Vixie, who was staring at our Pikachu friend in surprise. "So that's why you're still very protective over her."
"Say another word, and I'll zap you."
I chuckled.
Fay suddenly chirped. "So, who was Jay with?"
Uh... "...do I even wanna know?"
Shock's face went even redder. "Er..." he fidgeted uncomfortably... "...obviously with Vixie..."
Vixie's own red-furred face went even redder.
My mouth hung agape, my mind went down the drain.
Fay blinked, confused. "Wait... How does that even work?"
Saur just calmly took another berry with a vine. "Fay, you're better off not knowing."
