Hello again, this time I've brought a new story, the sequel of my story called "The Sleepover", based on the PokéPark games. This story is the most "fanfiction" that I've made, because I've invented and added new and weird concepts and ideas that weren't in the original material, but I tried to integrate them in the most natural way possible. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 1: One flower after another

It was another beautiful day in the PokéPark, everyone was happily doing their own things. Everything came back to normal after the four Pokémon heroes, Pikachu, Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig, saved the park from Darkrai, and his later rescue.

One day, Oshawott was walking around Cove Town looking for suspicious things to investigate, but one Pokémon, a Cinccino, said that he had to rest for a few days at least, and he accepted that idea. While he thought for a long time looking for something to relax himself, from nowhere appeared Snivy, princess of the Arbor Area. She wanted to talk to him, and she apologized for behaving inappropriately during all the process to stop the Pitch-Black Pokémon. Besides, as a form of mend it, the grass snake invited Oshawott to spend a night at her home. The sea otter also apologized for being too serious in the investigation, and he invited Snivy spend a night at his house. Both had a little argument until, after playing a match of rock-paper-scissors, it was decided that Snivy would go to Oshawott's house at night and the next day, at night, Oshawott would go to Snivy's house. The two of them agreed and went to their houses to prepare for the sleepovers.

During those two nights, they talked each other about their lives, they had a lot of fun, there were a few sad moments and some drawbacks, but they had a good time. Snivy and Oshawott liked having the each other's company for a while. After those nights, they went to eat breakfast with the homeowners, but they didn't like it so much. They had different customs between them. When one left the other so it went to its home, they talked a bit how the sleepovers were. The grass snake and the sea otter liked being in each other's houses, but they disliked how the breakfasts were, they felt uncomfortable. In the end it was a nice experience for the two.

What nobody expected was that Oshawott was in love with Snivy. He felt strange after the first night and he denied his love absolutely. After talking with Samurott, his tutor, he said that it was a common stage of life, and with the time he was going to know if he was really in love with her. When the Sea Otter Pokémon was sleeping at the grass Pokémon's house, he had a dream with he was battling Darkrai, and Snivy noticed that after waking up late night. Once she returned to sleep, Oshawott said some words to the air, he said in his dreams that he loved Snivy.

After having the breakfast with Queen Serperior and her servants. The water type went to his house. Upon arriving, Samurott said in a conversation with Oshawott, who still denied his love for the Arbor Area's princess, said that little by little he had to admit his love to her. Only time would tell.

Several days later, princess Snivy came back to her home to keep a flower that Oshawott gave it to her, he gave it to her because, according to his words, he wanted to know the flower's name, and he went with the grass snake to ask what the flowery plant's name was. She thought for a moment that he asked her because she was a grass type, but after seeing him very uncomfortable, she said the flower's name so she wouldn't make him feel bad. Once that Snivy satisfied her Pal's curiosity, he said shyly that she kept the flower. She asked why if he just wanted to know the flower's name, but he answered that he wanted to give it to her as a present. The grass type got confused, but she accepted the gift and went to her house to keep it.

Snivy was coming back to her home in the Verdant Court to keep the flower that Oshawott gave her. It was a pretty flower that she had never seen in the Arbor Area or Arcane Area. She was happy, but she felt quite odd for Oshawott. He behaved in an unusual way, she saw him very shy and nervous, he talked faltered, he was red, shivering and sweating a lot. It seemed he had a high fever, she felt bad for him, she didn't know what was happening to him so that he was that bad.

She continued her path to her house until she finally arrived where the servants were, and Snivy went to the route where only the Pokémon that were in charge of the Arbor Area and their servants could access. When she was passing by Leavanny and Lilligant, she heard that they were murmuring between the two of them, and later she heard them laugh in silence. The grass snake had no idea what they were thinking about. She didn't care, she continued her way until she arrived to her home and entered. The grass type put the flower in a cute vase that had several flowers of different types. Carnations, orchids, sunflowers, lilies, daisies and other flowers that she didn't know their name, she had never seen those type of flowers in the area where Snivy lived. They were exotics and rare.

The snake put the flower that Oshawott gave it to her in the vase with the others, it was the fifteenth time that the otter asked for the name of the flower before giving it to her. Something strange happened to Oshawott, she wondered why he asked the name of the flower and gave it to her afterwards, was it not his flower? She had never seen that kind of behavior of her Pal since they met each other for the first time. He was getting more and more nervous when he saw the grass type. It was strange. There was something odd on him, it seemed that he wanted to say something to her.

Suddenly, someone knocking the door was heard.

"Who's it?"

"Honey, it's me, your mother."

"What do you want?"

"I came to ask you something."

"I'm going out."

She opened the door and exited her house to talk with Queen Serperior.

"What do you wanna ask, mom?"

"I noticed that when I see you going out, I see you coming back with a flower in your hands, and I asked to our servants, and they confirmed that you really came here with some flowers during these days. I wondered: who has given you flowers?"

"Oshawott gave them to me."

"Oshawott? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, every day he asks me to go out to see him, and he always had a flower in his paws. He asks me about the name of the flower he has. Once I said its name to him, he asks me to keep the flower for some reason. And I've been keeping them in my house since then."

"I see, and do you know why he does that?"

"I have no idea, he just asks me to give him the name of the flower and later asks me to keep it."

"So, he has given you flowers during these days just to know their names, or am I wrong?"

"Yeah, he's been doing that since several days before. I have no idea what's wrong with him."

Serperior was very thoughtful in that moment, but she soon changed to feel relieved.

"Well, that is I wanted to know. You are free to play for a while."

"Thanks, mom."

"But afterwards you have etiquette class with the servants, did you hear me?"

"Awwww, but mom, those classes are so boring!"

"But they are going to be useful in the future when you govern in my position. If you disagree with me, I take you away the free time and we start the classes immediately, Is that clear?"

"Awwww, okay. I'll go to play with Deerling."

"Remember coming back, and have fun."

Later, Snivy went outside the terrain to go to play with her friend Deerling. Her mother saw her for a while until losing sight of her. So, the one who was giving flowers to her was her Pal Oshawott. There was something in middle that she couldn't leave aside, but she thought that she had to think about it in another occasion. When Snivy finished to play, she would return and would be in the etiquette class. The queen wanted to see her daughter to behave like a princess, in an elegant way and not brute. It would take a lot of time so she can change her attitude. She hoped that it would be worth it.

Snivy finished playing with Deerling and went to the etiquette class with Leavanny and Lilligant. She didn't pay so much attention there not because of the boredom, but this time it was because the behavior that Oshawott had every time he saw her. The night had already come, she went to sleep in her house. She couldn't sleep well, there was something in mind that was bothering her, she didn't know what it was. Until she finally was able to sleep.

It was midnight and Snivy was rolling about in her bed.

"Oshawott… Oshawott…" she said as she still moved asleep in the bed.

Snivy was dreaming about something. The dream was about her together with Oshawott, he was with a flower in his paws and, like the other times, he was nervous for something.

"Sni-snivy, I-I-I w-wanted t-t-t-to know if y-y-you… if you…"

"Do you wanna know of the name of the flower that you have, isn't it right?" she said disinterested.

"…yes…"

"Oshawott, there something strange with you, all these days you've been asking me the flower's name that you bring to me and you give it to me to keep it. I think you have something to tell me."

"Umm… this… I… I… Argh, okay! I was bringing you flowers not to know their names. I've been bringing you flowers because I…"

Suddenly, a loud noise that shook the ground was heard. That made them scared.

"What was that?" Snivy asked.

And then, from nowhere, a vortex appeared in the sky. It was growing and growing. It was taking the stuff that there was in the PokéPark. Both objects and Pokémon. She saw how they screamed in horror as they went to the vortex, that made her remember the other vortex that almost devoured the PokéPark long time ago. They seemed similar, as if Darkrai returned to be evil and wanting to destroy the park. It was taking the ground, it started to crack and went towards the black hole. It was sucking all the ground. Snivy saw her loved ones fly through the air to the big and scary hole in the sky. She saw her friend Deerling, her servants Leavanny and Lilligant, his dear mother, everyone that lived in the Arbor Area, even from the other areas. It was horrifying to see all of that.

In that moment, the vortex's force was about to take her Pal Oshawott. He was in the air for a moment while the ground that he stepped was fragmenting. Snivy acted quick and caught the otter in the air with a vine. She had held him down, but she didn't know how much longer, the black hole's force was stronger than her. She was dragged herself closer and closer to the vortex and Oshawott was thrashing while he was held by Snivy's vine. She tried with all her strength so that he wouldn't come off. She made a lot of effort, but everything fell apart. The grass snake saw his Pal held by the vine, for some reason she saw him with a sad expression, she didn't know that was happening to him, until the unthinkable happened: Oshawott let himself go from the vine, and he went to the vortex. She felt something inside her that broke in a thousand pieces, as she screamed with all her strength

"OSHAWOTT, NOOOOOOOOOOO! ! !"

Afterwards, the grass type Pokémon suddenly woke up, she got up quickly. She was panting and with sweat on her head, her heart was beating fast because of the scare. Snivy saw her surroundings, she was in her little house in the darkness, it was still night. She was still very spooked, she tried to calm her down. Everything was just a nightmare. Once she was calmed down, she wondered: what in the world had happened? She tried to remember what happened in the dream. The grass snake was talking with Oshawott until a black hole appeared from nowhere and sucked everything. She could hold Oshawott for a moment until he let go by himself, it ended when she gave a scream that expressed the pain for the loss of her Pal. All those events in the dream were somehow… familiar for Snivy. It seemed that she had lived the same experience previously. She tried to remember about an event of similar characteristics. In a few seconds, something came to her mind.

That time when they beat Darkrai at the Wish Park. The Dark Vortex was huge and was sucking all the park. She remembered when she, Pikachu, Tepig and Oshawott rang the bells to activate the Light Polariton made by Reuniclus. The first three succeeded, but the otter was in trouble. The vortex was getting bigger and bigger, the water type ran as fast as he could to avoid being capture by the gravitational force of the black hole, but he couldn't. Snivy ran towards him to catch him with a vine, she held him and tried to not let him go. She made all the effort to not let him that the Dark Vortex took him, together with the help of his Pals that were pulling. The force of the black hole was strong, until Snivy saw the worst. She saw Oshawott with a sad expression, he closed his eyes and afterwards he let himself go. What she felt in that moment, after the otter let go from Snivy's vines, it was the same that she felt in the dream before waking up: something inside her broke in a thousand pieces.

She wondered what the dream wanted to say. What did it mean? She had no clue. That feeling that she had in the dream it seemed to came from her chest, more exactly, in her heart. It was as if something destroyed it with just to see losing her Pal Oshawott. Snivy continued without knowing why the otter was giving her flowers to ask for their name, and why he was giving them to her. Maybe he had something to tell and he was avoiding to say it. That was why he got very uncomfortable and avoided what he wanted to say in the first place. The princess had to talk to him and know what he wanted, but it was late midnight. She had to talk to Oshawott when sunrises. Snivy returned to sleep waiting the dawn.

The next morning, Snivy woke up early and exited her house. She waited Oshawott's arrival in the place where they meet during the previous days. At least she could finally know what he wanted to say all this time. She waited for several minutes in the same place, until he finally came. Like the precious times, he was red, shivering, and sweating a little and, of course, he carried a flower, this time it was a rose. Something told her that it wasn't going to end well, she had the feeling that an important revelation was going to be said.

"Hello, Oshawott."

"H-hi, Sni-vy."

"What do you want now?" she said disinterested.

"I-I… I came to bri-bri-bring y-you this fl-flo-flower."

"And why did you bring another flower again?"

"Well… I just wanted… to know if you… if you… if you…"

"If I knew the flower's name, didn't I?"

"…Yeah… that…"

"And now you want me to keep the flower, right?"

"…Yeah… keep it… please…"

She continued to take the rose with one hand. She held for a long time without changing her position. It was a very beautiful rose according to her words, Snivy didn't know where the flowers that took Oshawott came from, she thought that Meowth sold them in an exorbitant price, while rarer and prettier, more expensive. She was appreciating the flower for a really long seconds, that made the otter felt uncomfortable. He asked her.

"A-are you not going to y-your hou-se?"

"Mmm… no."

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-why, Sni-vy?"

"I'd like to talk something with you, Oshawott."

"Ab-about… what?"

"I noticed that you're behaving strangely when you see me."

"Aahh… ah… aaaahhhh…" while he was getting more and more nervous.

"I'd like to know what is happening to you. Why do you give me flowers?

"Well… this… I…"

"I'm talking seriously, Oshawott. I have no time for games."

"Umm… Ah… I…"

"ANSWER ME NOW! ! !"

"Okay, okay, okay! Don't push me, I'm really nervous right now! Uh… this… well… I-I would like to t-tell you th-th-that I… I… I…"

Oshawott was too nervous for what was going to say, it was because he felt shy, but there was another thing: fear. He didn't know what could happen if he said what he felt after several failed attempts. Because of how is she, she was going to dislike it at all, even she could attack him with Vine Whip that was going to leave a mark that would stay for several days, but he had to be brave to tell her what he felt, no matter the result. If everything goes wrong, he would face what it prepared for him ahead, even if he risked to lose his friendship with his Pal. The otter, after too much effort, finally said:

"I love you."

"WAIT, WHAT?!"

"That… I love you, Snivy."

"Do you… love me? You have to be kidding, right?"

"I'm talking very seriously, that's what I really feel for you."

"Re… really, Oshawott?"

"Of course."

"But… why?"

Oshawott began to talk with sincerity about his feelings. He said:

"Because… that happened when we had the sleepover in my house. I felt a nice and warm sensation that made me feel good, when I saw you for an instant, I looked to other side so you don't see me blush. I also liked the way that you fought with me, you're agile, fast and strong. The next day, after leaving you in the entrance, I came back fought with Krookodile because I denied my love for you, but after arriving the lighthouse, Samurott talked with me and told me that I was in the stage where I didn't accept my love, and that only time would say the answer."

"Uh-huh, what else?"

"Afterwards, it would come the sleepover in your house, and… I enjoyed a lot the pillow fight that we had. And can I tell you something? I dreamt about you that night, that's why I didn't want to tell you the next morning. After coming back to my house. Samurott talked with me about in some point of my life I'd accept my love for you. That's why I was giving you flowers every day, because I love you. Well… I was very nervous to tell you, because I was afraid that you were going to reject me, not as a boyfriend, but as a friend. I was risking my friendship between us for you. I don't want to continue hiding it anymore. I sincerely love you, Snivy."

The princess was very surprised on the inside. That her Pal, who had problems after meeting him and during the process to stop Darkrai, was in love with her? She didn't know how to react. Snivy remembered later that dream she had the last night. Oshawott was going to tell her something important until a black hole destroyed everything on its path. It wanted to take her Pal, but she grabbed him with a vine; however, in the end, he let himself go. That exact moment she felt like something broke inside her, more specifically, in her heart. The grass snake also remembered those happy times in the sleepovers that they made in their houses. She enjoyed a lot that time when they were before sleeping. He was very gentlemanly with her all this time, it was strange seeing him like that, but she liked it. He might be a serious Pokémon with his job as an investigator, but he was kind with her over time, even if the beginning it wasn't a good relationship. See him taken away by the Dark Vortex hurt her a lot, and she lived that again in the dream that she had.

They could be very different in everything, an example would be their customs, their behavior, their ways to live, but… there was something that made them united despite the differences and fights. He didn't want to lose him again like what happened with the Dark Vortex, everything indicated that she wanted since the beginning… be with him. Play together, having fun together, enjoy together. It was a feeling that she had never had before, was it maybe love for Oshawott? With only thinking on that, she felt something was unlocked in her inside, as if something hidden had exited of its prison imprisoned for a lot of years. A deep feeling, that was love. For the first time Snivy felt a blush in her face.

Oshawott was seeing everything that Snivy did, she was very undecided, but he noticed that she blushed for a moment. Does that mean what he thought? The grass snake talked after thinking about it for many seconds.

"Umm… Oshawott…"

"Yes, Snivy?" The otter was hyped for what she was going to say.

"Do you remember that a moment ago you told me that, when we were in the sleepover in my house, you dreamed with me, and that it made you embarrass that I told it to my mom and the servants?"

"Yes, what wrong with it?"

"The thing is… the last night… I also dreamed about you."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, I dreamed that we were like these days. You telling me that you wanted to know the flowers' name that you brought, but this time you wanted to tell what you really felt. But suddenly a black hole appeared that started to devour the whole PokéPark, including you. I grabbed with my vines so you don't go away. I was struggling so you don't go to the black hole, but suddenly, you let yourself go, and I saw you going to the vortex."

"Are you talking seriously? That is similar what we lived when we were about to be sucked by the Dark Vortex that was going to devour all PokéPark."

"Yeah, it was like a memory in a form of a dream. I saw your sad face, when you were held by me, I felt that everything in my inside broke in pieces when you let yourself go. I felt fear, fear to lose you, and I had the same sensation when I had the dream the last night. I woke up spooked and sweating for what I saw. I was told that every dream had a particular meaning, I think what I dreamed it wanted to tell that I don't want to lose you again."

Oshawott was really surprised, is it true that she dreamt with him when about they were going to be devoured by the black hole, like what happened a time ago with the Dark Vortex? He wanted Snivy to say yes after all what they lived. The grass type said:

"Oshawott."

"Yes, Snivy?"

"I need to think about it for a moment, I need time to think well about this."

"Don't worry, Snivy. I'll wait you tomorrow for your answer. If you need more time, I'll give you. I'll be here, waiting for you."

"Thanks, Oshawott."

"Don't forget to take the rose that I brought you for you."

"Yeah, I'm gonna keep it with the others. See you tomorrow."

"Until tomorrow, Snivy."

And Snivy went back to her house to think all the time about what happened that morning. Oshawott was anxious to know her answer. Will she say yes, or no? He only had to wait until tomorrow. He tried to keep calm all the time. The grass snake, after entering to her house, left the rose in the vase with the other flowers that Oshawott had given to her and sit down in her bed to think. In the next morning, she would decide if she accepted her love for him.
