Chapter 4: Dreams
In a bed a boy tossed and turned. His mind was in...well, let's just say this one was a very strange one indeed.
Running…others with me, those of the skies, and ones of land beside me…a voice, a voice in my head…I know..., they want to prove, they need to, can't stop fighting…
The boy sat up in bed with a jolt. His clothes were soaked with sweat and his heart was racing. He let out a sigh. "So...it was just a dream." He rubbed his temple and stared at the ceiling. But he knew better than that. Lately, ever since he had arrived to the island he had felt something peculiar about it. But thought nothing of it, but now... "That dream...was so real..." He shook his head of the idea.
He climbed out of bed and walked to the curtains pulling them open. To his delight, it was just the break of dawn. The sky was still dark and the air was as if it was night, but way in the distance you could see some light peering over the hillside. He walked over to the bathroom and washed his face. He had never really had any parents, so he was always forced to take care of himself making him more of an independent person than others especially at a young age, but he didn't mind too much about it. After he brushed his teeth he put on his usual attire, blue jeans, black and red sneakers, black fingerless gloves, red and white over jacket, and black t-shirt underneath. As he walked to the door he didn't forget to grab his red hat while he was at it. As he closed the door softly behind him, he walked quietly through the halls. As he passed by he heard Sapph's and Gold's snoring. Green's room was quiet and he could hear Crystal sleep talking on the other side of the door. Sliver's room was also quiet. Blue's and Ruby's room...let's just say they slept peacefully, you could only hear their breathing on the other side. He paused on Yellow's door. Knowing her she had sleepwalked ever since elementary school, however; she didn't do much as before now. But her room was unusually quiet. He usually heard her soft breathing on the other side, or at least a few foot steps to alert him she was sleep walking, but...nothing. He pressed his ear slightly on the door and heard a whoosh sound. That was enough for him and he turned and soundlessly walked downstairs and out of the house.
...
As he shut the door quietly behind him, he scanned the area. There was nothing but tall grass and a forest waving in the moonlight. (The sun hadn't risen up high enough to make the moon disappear yet, plus it was still dark since it was like what, 1:00 in the morning?) But he had an idea of where to look. He turned and headed to the back of the house, as he passed by the side where Yellow's room was located, his suspicions were correct. There, high up was a wide open window that led to Yellow's room. He had known this by hearing the whoosh sound, it had told him her window was open and that she had probably climbed out through it. She had escaped out here for some reason. He continued to the back of the house where of course, was where Yellow was.
...
Yellow P.O.V.
I was sleeping peacefully with a hint of uncertainty when something bright flashed. In turned in my covers trying to block the light out, but again it lit up the room. My eyes fluttered open and I groggily turned to find the source of the light. My eyes widened, there in the pocket of my jeans was something glowing. Mist... Immediately I threw the covers off and scrambled across the room to my jeans. As I pulled the glowing bottle out the light faded away and there stood an impatient pixie arms crossed and everything. She frowned at me and motioned towards the cork. I pulled it out and she flew out. That's when it happened- "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING? JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM? HERE I AM SITTING IN THE BOTTLE PEACEFULLY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTS WOBBLING AND SHAKING LIKE CRAZY! JUST WHAT IN TARNATION HAPPENED TO YOU? IT'S LIKE YOU WERE BEING CHASED BY A WILD ANIMAL OR SOMETHING, DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE TOSSED AND TURNED HERE AND THERE AND UNABLE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT? I WAS IN A CONFINED AREA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THE LEAST YOU COULD'VE DONE AFTER YOU STOPPED RUNNING OR WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING WAS TO CHECK UP ON ME TO SEE IF I WAS ALRIGHT OR SOMETHING!" She said in a very loud voice that had a volume that was equal to screaming.
The whole room shook, poor Yellow had to cover her ears with her hands to keep from getting deaf. She hoped the others didn't wake up. The pixie took a deep breath. "So, where are we? I've never seen this place before." She asked in her normal voice. Yellow stared in awe. This same pixie that had just yelled at her a moment ago was now asking her a question with the same sweet innocent voice she had used with the queen. Mist was a force to be reckoned with. Yellow noted in her mind.
"We're in my room." I replied sitting on my bed. The bed covers were blue and white, the carpet was dark green. Only the curtains were yellow. "I see." She replied flying up and landing on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, I forgot you were in there. I promise I'll check on you next time if it very happens again." I said crossing my heart. She nodded. "But, what happened?" A tired expression washed over me. "Let's just say, I was being chased." Mist's eyes grew wide. "Really? By what?" I sighed. "Nothing magical if that's what you're thinking." I replied rolling off my bed. I quickly put on my jeans, long-sleeved shirt, leather apron (I don't know what it's called), belt, and sneakers then went into the bathroom to wash myself up. I decided to leave my hat where it was. "So...I want to ask you some questions." I said to her combing my long yellow hair. "Fire away." I paused while tying my hair in a ponytail. "Not here, outside." I concluded thinking someone might hear.
I opened the window and glanced around. That sure is a long way down I gulped. Mist easily flew next to me. "What's wrong?" She asked. I should my head. "Nothing." Come on Yellow you can do it, besides you did this before I grabbed the window sill and slid down, I then let go and jumped unto another window sill and so on until I reached the ground. That wasn't so bad I thought as me and Mist headed to the back of the house.
...
I came the the fountain and sat with my back turned with Mist in my palm. "Well?" She asked. I sighed. Where do I begin? " "Aquatheina said that the last chosen one ended the war between land and sea right? Well...my friends Ruby and Sapphire also ended the battle...how is that possible?" The little fairy nodded. "Good question. Well, it's like this. Long ago, land and sea battled each other to find the dominant one. But in the end, they found they were equal for Kyogre couldn't entirely wipe out the land, it would upset the balance. The same went for Groudon. But then...the evil lord rose up. He thought that by making a war between those two—the Earth would vanish and then the Distorted Dimension would suffer too much of great damage and destroy itself. Then...only the Magical world would remain. And he would be supreme ruler. But then, our last chosen one put a stop to this, and the orbs were restored and never seen again, but this is because they were only made into fossils. Later, when the time grew near for his passing that he was called on another mission and left our world for a new universe that only Palkia could enter. So on this world he has died but in that other world his spirit lives on for he was a chosen one." Mist said. I frowned. "That still doesn't answer my question." "I'm getting to that." Mist replied.
"So, hundreds of centuries later your kind—humans, a band of them formed together to create opposing teams toward one another. Both had found the fossilized orbs and using your so called technology had resurrected them back into the world. Using the orbs, they planned to awaken Kyogre and Groudon from their deep slumber and try to "reshape" the world to make it better. Team Magma and Aqua I believe they were called. Nasty little things, they were such a nuisance. But then, your friends Ruby and Sapphire rose up and stopped them. Thus, once again the orbs were never seen again, and this time they are is no longer in the Pokémon world, they are now here in the Magical world for safe keeping to ensure humans never try such a silly stunt ever again."
I stared. "So that's how..." I said slowly. The pixie nodded. "We keep records of those who help the world and those that help destroy it." "Wait, does that mean you know the history of all of my friends?" Again Mist nodded. "It was very strange indeed. All of your friends have been recorded as those who helped safe the world. Including you." I blinked surprised. "Is it because we've been in contact with legendary Pokémon?" I said quietly. "Partially." Just then I heard-"Yellow, what are you doing?" I whipped around and to my horror there stood Red with a quizzical expression. "Why did you escape your room through a window?" "Oh! I..." I grabbed Mist and stuffed her in my pocket. "I just needed some fresh air." He raised an eyebrow unconvinced. "Really? Well you could've just stuck your head out the window for a moment." I felt myself turn red. "S-sorry." He sighed and shook his head as he sat down next to me. I blushed as I felt his skin brush up against me. I looked down. I can't believe I sound so stupid! I thought in embarrassment. We sat there in silence for a while, me staring into the fountain watching the moon fade away in the reflecting water as Red gazed at the brightening sky. Without warning he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms. I took in a sharp gasp. "Don't worry me like that ever again you hear me." He whispered in my ear. I felt his protective arms wrap around my waist as I sat on his lap. I relaxed and leaned into him. "Sorry." I repeated. I wanted that moment to last forever but then-"BREAKFAST!" The bell rang. Red pulled away from me and I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I felt myself feeling hurt. He got up and looked at me for a moment before offering me his hand. "Wanna eat breakfast now?" I swallowed hard and smiled pushing that hurt feeling away. "Sure." I said taking his hand and together we walked to the house.
...
"So...who was that handsome young lad?" Asked Mist. We were outside alone in the pasture. I was sitting in it with my legs layed out. Mist was sitting on my shoulder. I blushed. "Y-you mean you think he's handsome too?" Mist nodded. "Yup! And, he's just your type too! You two make an awesome couple!" I turned scarlet. "Y-you think so?" The pixie nodded furiously. "I know so! I also happen to be a matchmaker I may add." I simply shook my head. "You're too much."
"Hey Yellow!" I froze. Out came Ruby, Green, Gold, Red, Blue, Crystal, Sapphire, Sliver, and Uncle Wilton. Uh oh... I tried to hide Mist but it was too late. Sapphire's eyes widened. "Is that a real fairy!" She cried pointing at it eagerly. "It's pixie dimwit." Mist replied before I could stop her. "WHAT?" Sapph cried angrily. But Mist was unfazed. Uncle looked at me gravely. "You...you got a mission from Aquatheina didn't you?" I jumped surprised. "How did you know?" He sighed. "I may be an old man Yellow, but I'm an old man who knows these things. If you are called on a mission I support you all the way." Ruby cut in. "What in the world are you guys talking about?" He said looking between me and Uncle. "She's a chosen one dummy." Mist said flatly. A vein popped on Ruby's head. "When I get my hands on that thing..." Ruby mumbled something like that. "Yellow," I turned around and met Crystal's worried gaze. "Yellow, what's going on?" "Uh..." How am I supposed to explain this?
Meanwhile:
"So, you must be Wilton. You've always been a curious one." Mist said floating in front of Wilton. The man smiled. "Next time you see Aquatheina-san tell her I said hi." Mist nodded. "We're thankful for your cooperation in the past."
"You're a chosen one!" Blue squealed with delight. "I never thought my sweet Yellow would become one!" Blue said all sparkly-eyed while everyone else sweatdropped. "It's a long story, but yeah. To make things short, I'm a chosen one." I said nervously. "Why didn't you say anything?" Green asked arms crossed. "Ano..." "What could she say? I mean, if she told us it would just sound like an exaggeration." Sliver replied. The two boys looked each other in the eye for a moment, then looked away. "But, what are you supposed to do?" Asked Red. He had an unreadable expression. "Well...something is supposed to happen." I said slowly. Gold blinked. "Like what?"
"Don't ask what boy!" Mist snapped causing Gold to blink. "Those who take these kind of matters not seriously shall have no right to know of this kind of information." She turned to me and whispered in my ear. "We'll start training immediately." She then turned to Uncle who nodded. "Here, take this with you Yellow." He said handing me a telescope I'd never seen before. It looked...holy. "It'll be useful." He said smiling. "Come on!" Mist urged. I turned away and followed Mist leaving the rest alone. I couldn't imagine what they were going through just learning this information. Looks like Uncle will have to explain everything.
...
"Where are we going?" I asked as we entered the forest again. "You'll see." She said. We were deep in the forest, and finally she came to a bush. I didn't see anything special about it, but she stopped right in front of it. She closed her eyes and chanted out loud. "Shrai de como su heh ary ye sumi coo!" The bush glowed and magic emitted from it. I was surprised I hadn't sensed it's presence there before. The magic expanded and covered a good hunk of area before stopping. I looked around wide eyed. Everything was...different. "What did you do?" I asked. "I opened the training field and casted a force field. This way, your training session will be entirely private and no one can peek. Once your done, I'll stop the magic and we'll do what's needed from there on." I nodded though I hardly understood what he meant.
"Okay, here we go!" There was a bright light, and when it faded I gasped. I was standing in the middle of what looked like a dojo. Mist floated at the side. Then, magically a man appeared. I jumped back startled. He smiled. "So your the new hero. Welcome, I shall teach you the basics of fighting." I nodded. "Arigato sensei."
