Part III



(That night)

When Ash and Pikachu were about to go to bed, they were talking.  

"Pikachu, I can't wait till tomorrow morning!  I'll finally get to see 
Misty after all of these years!"  Ash was so excited that he couldn't 
keep still. He was jumping all over his bed.

"Pi Pika Chu Pi Pikachu [You better get a good sleep tonight.]"

"Oh, Pikachu I don't know if I can go to sleep tonight.  I'm just so 
excited!!"

"Pi Pikachu [Well you should try.]"

When they went to sleep, Pikachu fell asleep right away, but Ash 
didn't.  He kept thinking about Misty, and how much fun they were going 
to have.  He finally drifted off in to a restful night sleep, or so it 
seemed.

(Note from Author: This next scene is a big foreshadow.)

When Ash woke up, he felt drowsy. "Morning already?  I feel like I've 
only gotten a couple minutes of sleep."  He sat up all blurry eyed.  
When his eyes came into focus he couldn't believe where he was at......he 
was at Camp!!!!!  He first looked down he was in a sleeping bag, but he 
saw and noticed something that made the scene be even more shocking and 
abnormal.  He was his former 10-year-old self!!  Ash then looked up, 
and saw someone who would make his heart leap to new heights.  It was 
Misty!!!!  This made him even more joyful but even more shocked.  He 
also saw Brock, but he wasn't as focused on him as he was to Misty.  He 
got out of his sleeping bag quickly, and started to run towards Misty.  
He kept running, but he noticed something very abnormal.  The closer he 
ran towards Misty, the farther the run seemed.  He kept running, 
running, running!!  Faster, Faster, Faster!! He kept trying, but the 
image of Misty kept going away from him every step he took.  Ash tried 
to call to Misty to get her attention.  He kept trying many times, but 
no avail.   He bent down, because of shortness of breath, but only 
seconds later he heard Misty scream. He quickly looked up, and saw that 
Misty was being sucked into the ground as if she was in quicksand!!!  
He started running towards Misty!  He was surprised he was making 
progress this time! He kept getting closer to Misty, hoping to save 
her!!!!!?.. But when he got there he was too late.  Misty had been 
sucked all the way into the ground.  Ash fell down slamming his fist on 
the ground, while tears formed in his eyes.  He couldn't hold them 
back.   He just sat there crying.  He felt so alone now.  He felt like 
his heart was aching.  He couldn't stand it without Misty, or to see 
her suffer like he just did.  After a few minutes, he started to hear 
laughter.  Evil laughter!!  "Who could be laughing at a time like 
this!!!" He said with a distraught but angry voice.  He started to 
recognize the voice, but couldn't quite make it out.  He listened even 
more closely, and could tell it was more than one voice now.  He still 
couldn't make out who they were.  Suddenly Ash heard another scream!!!!  
He then turned and saw Misty in the clearing!!!  "Ash, help 
me!!!!!"  Misty screamed terrified.  Ash could see she was being held 
captive. She was being held by three dark figures.  Ash couldn't make 
out whom they were, but that didn't stop his anger.  He ran towards 
Misty, gaining more speed every second!!  He kept running, running, and 
running.  He was almost there, but then......bam!!!!  He was knocked back 
by an invisible force field and suddenly shot up from his bed!!!!  He 
noticed he was in his room.  Hey took some time to gather his thoughts, 
and after a few minutes he realized what happened.  "It was 
a nightmare......but what could it have meant?  Should it be of any concern 
to me.  Was it just a petty little nightmare that he had randomly, like 
all people do......or was it a sign of things to happen?"  He lied back 
down, and tried to sleep it of. He was all shaken up from the 
nightmare.  He had a hard time falling back asleep but finally managed 
to.  Could this nightmare have meant something, or was it just a 
nightmare that all people have.  A nightmare that didn't mean anything.  
He had to find out.

	The next morning he awoke, with no problems......except the nightmare 
on his mind.  He got up and got ready quickly because today was the big 
day, the day that he would get to see Misty, after all this time.  
After that petty fight twelve years ago......but would she accept him back?  
The letter said she missed him......but what if she didn't.  There are all 
kinds of things that could happen.  She could have just changed her 
mind after she had sent the letter.  She could have remembered that day 
twelve years ago, and remembered the pain that Ash had 
caused her, and then the feeling of disgust could return to her.  He 
had to just hope that she had gotten over it and would forgive him.

	When Ash and Pikachu were ready, they started out on their long 
walk to Cerilian City.  It was quiet on the way up there as Ash had the 
nightmare on his mind.  After a while, Ash wanted to talk to Pikachu 
about it.

"Pikachu......Could I talk to you about something?"

"Pi [Sure]"

"Last night when we went to bed....I had a dream.  It was a very abnormal 
dream that I think I should be concerned about."

"Pi Pika Pikachu Pika [What was it about?]"

	Ash told the dream to Pikachu, and more and more Ash had told his 
friend the more worried Pikachu became.  When Ash finished describing 
the dream to him, Pikachu sat down to think.  After a few minutes 
Pikachu spoke.

Pika Pikachu Pi.  Pika Pikachu Pi, Pikachu.  [I think I know.  But it 
could have been just a normal dream that anybody could have had.]

"That's what I thought."

"Pika Pikachu Pi.  Pikachu PIkahcu.  [Well, only time will tell.  
Here's what my hypothesis of the dream is ........................]"

Note from Author (I'm not going to tell you what the dream means, you 
will  just have to figure it out yourself.  You most likely will figure 
it out sooner or later, if not now.)

"So......that's what it means.  I'd hoped for a better outcome."

	"Pika Pikachu Pi Pika Pikachu Pika.  Pikachu Pika Pi Pi.  [Well, 
remember.  These kinds of dreams almost never come true.  Their just 
normal dreams that people have out of the night air.]"

"Maybe......Lets go.  We have to hurry if we want, to get to Cerilian City 
by nightfall."

	So, they continued on their long walk to Cerilian City.  Ash 
thought about what Pikachu had said the whole way.  Ash started to 
shake all over, about what might be the truth of the dream.  Was 
Pikachu right?  One thing is for sure.  Only time will tell.


What do you think?  Tell me what you think the dream meant.  If you 
don't and really have to know, just review back to me and I will tell 
you.  I don't want to spoil the story for some one who wants to wait 
for the outcome.  Thanks for reading.
