I groaned softly as I started to wake up again. It was certainly odd, the things I recalled seeing... did I actually have a dream for once? That didn't quite sound right though, as it seemed far too vivid. Then again, who'd ever heard of dragons actually showing up and cosmic superbeings offering once in a lift time chances to unsuspecting young people? I mean really, that was some crazy dream... At least, I thought I had a strange dream. That ended pretty quickly when I felt the grass underneath my hand as I went to sit up. I know for a fact that I don't sleep walk, for that matter the alarm going off on the house would wake me up even if I did, so it was physically impossible for me to be outside without being aware of how I wound up there. That's when everything started clicking together again and I looked around the little clearing I was in. "Megan...!? Are you there?" I called out, standing up and brushing my new outfit off. Oh yeah, that was apparently a thing that I was missing out on because I was too focused on finding one of my best friends, if she was nearby to be found at least. I had a strong feeling she was close by though, stronger then any other feeling I had too. In fact, all of my emotions seemed to be more pronounced then they were before. I should probably know why that was, but I could puzzle that out later as well. All things happen in due time and all that. |

I felt sunlight on my on eyes. I winced a bit and rolled over to get away from what I thought was open window. When I felt something besides my pillow on cheek, my eyes slowly opened. Instead of the usual gray diamond print of my pillow, there was green and blue. “What the….” I sat up and winced slightly, feeling stiff. I looked around, and found that I was by a lake. “A lake? There’s no lake by my house…” I mumbled. “Am I dreaming?” Then it all came back to me. The silver haired guide, the giant dragon, my close friend, and an amazing deal. My eyes widened and I looked around. “This must be the Pokemon world!” I exclaimed. My voice must have traveled because the grass around me shook and two bird like creatures flew out of it. “Noisy human! Noisy human!” I heard as they flew off. Wait…. “Did those Starly just talk?!” I exclaimed, backwards crawling a couple times. That is, until something furry touched my hand. Turning pale, I slowly looked over my shoulder. The small brown mouse-beaver like looking creature looked up from the berry it was eating. “Hello. Excuse me.” The Bidoof took the berry in its mouth and waddled off. I bigsweated. “Well….alright then…..Pokemon can talk….who knew….” I muttered to myself. I stood up and brushed myself off, finally noticing I was wearing a brand new outfit and had a bag across my shoulder. I blinked and walked over to the lake’s surface to look at myself. “Huh…not bad JumpMaster 3000.” I thought to myself, admiring the handiwork done. “If you can hear my thoughts, you better not have changed my clothes in the normal sense!” I thought hard, looking up at the sky with a glare. It was then that I heard the singing. [From the fragments of a broken heart, comes a beautiful wish from the sea. Aching to be reborn again and look up on the light. As the setting sun touches the orange sky peacefully, tears of the world are slowly dried and kissed away…] A pink, see-through, fairy-like creature was hovering above the lake, hands clasped together as it sang. So many emotions swelled inside me. Sadness and Hope were the two that seemed strongest. I felt something on my hand and looked down to see a drop of water. I put my hand up to my face and realized it was wet. I had been crying and hadnt even noticed it. “Megan! Are you there?!” A voice cut through the song, ending the trance it had me in. I looked around and back, just in time to see the fairy shimmer and disappear. I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and, when i knew my voice wouldnt shake, called out. “Over here! By the lake!” |

“Over hear! By the lake!” When I heard that return shout I almost sighed with relief. Why almost? I couldn’t help but… not exactly ‘feel’ but more ‘sense’ a sudden wave of wild emotions, with hope and sorrow being the strongest of them. It was really odd now that I could focus on it as I made my way towards the sound of her voice. I knew that I was already naturally able to tell the emotions of others but… never have I sensed another’s feelings so sharply before and certainly never from a distance like this. Furthermore the surge was at the same time worrisome and inexplicable so I picked up the pace. A quick hop over a random semi-startled Bidoof walking away from the area later, I was at the lakeside and immediately caught sight of the only other human there. It took a moment to recognize her though, as her outfit and hair were different from before. “Meg? Everything alright?” I asked with a hint of worry to my tone. Something had occurred shortly before I arrived, I could tell that much. The question is what though… And I still hadn’t puzzled out why I could suddenly tell what emotions others were feeling with a rather supernatural precision. The answer was on the tip of my tongue though but irritatingly staying just out of reach. I had to be forgetting something, but what? Oh well, I’m sure something will jog my memory soon enough. Still, I had posed a question and then gotten lost in my own mental rambling for a bit, so I refocused my attention on my dear friend. We were in for one heck of an adventure though, that was for certain. |

I turned around and smiled. "Ya, Im fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I had already had calmed down. It was just a song anyway. "Oh hey, nice clothes." I grinned. Looking around I smiled. "This place is so pretty... I think this is Sinnoh... I'm only basing this on the Bidoof and Starly I saw a bit ago." I sighed. "Sinnoh was my least favorite region too... I guess those mean remarks weren't a good idea." I sighed and my bag slipped. I blinked and set it down on the ground, going through it. I started pulling things out. 5 small Pokeballs, 3 Master Balls, 3 Potions, a case containing discs, what looked like currency, a folding bike, a gameboy looking thing, a square red thing. "What are theses anyway?" I opened the gameboy like thing. It powered on and a map like thing came up. "Looks like a map? And its showing a signal...at Lake Verity?" I looked up at Devon. "What do you have in your bag?" |

I quirked an eyebrow at her. "I don't know, before I heard your voice there was such a huge mass of emotional chaos over here... There was such sadness mainly which is the main reason I worried but also, oddly enough, a lot of hope was mixed in as well... but if you're okay then what would explain that odd feeling." I sighed softly, then nearly face fell at the amount of stuff Megan started pulling out of her new backpack. I knew the games had the player character store a ludicrous amount of stuff in those things but this is insane! And yet despite that, I only noticed the pack hanging on my shoulder when she pointed it out to me. "My bag... oh! I have a bag too..." Glancing around as my cheeks flushed from embarrassment, I knelt down and opened up my bag. I had a lot of the same stuff that Megan did, the five pokeballs, the three potions, a bike of my own, the same gameboy-like device, and the red square that I recognized as the Kalos region's Pokedex on sight. Looking over at where Megan was fiddling with the device neither of us recognized, a thought occurred to me. "Maybe its one of those... extra devices that trainers get where the game explains certain mechanics away. There was a different one each region if I recall right, starting from Johto. I know Hoenn's was the Pokenav but that doesn't look like a Pokenav at all..." Meanwhile, I grabbed the Pokedex and activated it, blinking at the list of pokemon already logged into it. "Heh... hehehehe! Well, that takes one worry off our plates. Our dexs seem to already have every pokemon from first generation to sixth generation already recorded... so we don't have to catch a whole bunch of mons, just the ones we wind up wanting to travel with for our stay." That really was a huge weight off of my shoulders, just as I'm sure it would be one off Megan's as well. I wasn't as crazy about filling the dex as she was, but it was enough that I'd go at least a little Zubatty at large amounts of blank space. And yes the pun was entirely necessary. |

"Oh.. there was a song earlier, after that Bidoof told me hello. I didn't know Pokemon talked in Sinnoh." I started putting things back in the bag. "Oh youre right...Hey didnt the PokeNav's have -nav after the app names?" I asked, holding up the device and pointing to the words 'AreaNav' at the top. "Maybe this is like, an updated version?" I opened my own Dex. "Ooh touchscreen. That's new." I flipped through the enteries of the Dex. "Hm... I dont see it..." I murmured. I put it back in my bag and stood up. "Well, should we start exploring?" I asked with a smile. |

If the sounds going on in my head could be heard, the air would be filled with sounds of gears screeching to a halt at Megan mentioned the Bidoof she saw had told her 'hello'. Instead I had to settle for tilting my head back, going wide-eyed, and freezing in place. "Uh... Megan...? Pokemon... don't talk; at least not in human languages anyways. Barring Legendary pokemon and psychic types of course." Following that, I started to get my stuff back into my bag, slinging it over my shoulder. My bike, however, I started unfolding. Thankfully it was a really simple thing, all the parts that had to lock in to make the frame stable were clearly marked and such. Further more, the whole 'updated PokeNav' suggestion made me pause again. "You're right about the Nav programs thing... and Ruby and Sapphire were just recently remade. I guess that's entirely possible. Who would've thought?" Then she started fussing with her Pokedex and I quirked an eyebow. "What, did you see one of the lake spirits or some-" And again with the gears grinding to a stop, given which spirit called Lake Verity home. While Sinnoh was her least favorite region, it was my most favorite, and even now I could recall specific details with a fair amount of certainty. "The Emotion Pokemon Mesprit, that explains what I noticed earlier! Ah, how'd I not piece it together earlier?" |

I blinked and tilted my head. "What do you mean? Of course they do, some Starly and that Bidoof talked in human language clear as day to me." I looked over to the lake as a splash was heard. A Psyduck had popped its head above water. "Food? Food not here?" It dived down below the water again. I chuckled and looked at Devon. "See? That Psyduck was just looking for food, did ya hear him?" I asked. "That's true. The PokeGear go updated in HeartGold and SoulSilver as well." I nodded and closed the PokeNav....I guess its a Plus version. Ah well. I looked over as my friend had a sort of epiphany. "Mesprit?" I asked with a tilt of my head. I took my Dex out again and pushed the Search button. I typed in the name and opened the entry. "Ah! This is it!" I showed Devon the image on the Dex. ![]() "Let's see here...Known as "The Being of Emotion." It taught humans the nobility of sorrow, pain, and joy. It sleeps at the bottom of a lake. Its spirit is said to leave its body to fly on the lake's surface. That fits what I saw and heard. It sang a song...full of sadness and hope.... It was very moving. And it must not have been the real Pokemon, because it shimmered and disappeared when you called out to me. " |

I blinked and shook my head as Megan pointed out a Psyduck that had just surfaced. "Uh... not exactly, I just heard 'Psy? Psyduck?' like they show on the anime..." Maybe Jumpkun was vindictive enough to drop her on her head while she was asleep...? No, that didn't explain it, not acceptably anyways. But then what explanation was able to answer the question? Oh well, I suppose we'll figure it out soon enough. Then she turned her Pokedex to show the picture of Mesprit and I nodded. "Yep, that's the one that calls Lake Verity home. Though I admit I only remember this one as clearly as I do because of my general irritation towards the roaming nature of certain Legendary pokemon..." Shaking my head at the thought, I sighed. "Still, we'll have to puzzle these mysteries out at another point. You want to go biking or just walk?" I smiled softly, looking over to her with my own bike, which I quickly noted was actually a Hoenn style Mach Bike. I should probably be careful when riding the thing, it'd be a real shame if I wrecked it by crashing... A twinge of something I couldn't quite put my finger on hit the edge of my conscious mind at that point, and I found myself drawn to gaze in the direction it came from, quirking an eyebrow in curiosity. Now what was going on? Edited by AzureGhidorah, Sep 13 2015, 06:42 PM.

I looked at Devon, in shock. "You only heard him saying his name? Thats it, for real?" I felt confused. It was then I remembered the choices I made with the guide. "Oh! This must be that ability, Pokeglot! I can hear and understand Pokemon. That must be it." I hit my fist on my open palm. "Ya I guess we will." I stretched. "I think I'll walk. Nice bike though." I looked over at the lake again. "Wonder if I'll see it again..." I murmured. I looked at Devon as he looked over at something. "Everything okay?" |
