Way to the Dawn [Eng Version]

Chapter IV: Almia Castle

- ( Keeeeeelllll...~ Are you listening to me?)

-....S-Sorry. Y-You were saying?

- (We'll soon arrive at the castle. Get ready.)

- O-Oh okay...

The Flying-Type sighed softly.

- (You have your head in the clouds since this morning! What's happening to you?)

The brunet bit his lips nervously as his cheeks flushed a soft red. It was true that since his awakening, he was in a daze. Or rather, one moment he was absent and another one he was screaming internally.

As a result, he had completely overlooked what had happened during the morning. They had left Miss Winter's home, then had received a Voicemail from Professor Hastings, before seeing the Empoleon from the day before... The latter was currently making them cross the iced lake in the direction of Almia Castle.

But why?

Upon seeing her partner's shy expression, the bird cooed knowingly.

- ( Oooooohhhh~ I see~ Someone had a nice dream last night~)

The boy's face flared up even more, making him scream internally. He hid his face in his hands, almost losing his balance in the process. The Staravia then gave him a little peck to calm him down.

- (Shh....~ Calm down little Amethyst...)

The teen let out a plaintive moan, showing he was just shy and confused.

- (...You want to talk about it?)

He glanced at Fischl, who was staring at him with brotherly tenderness and slight concern.

-...Y-You promise not to laugh?

- (I promise.)

Kellyn was about to say something but the Empoleon had just berthed. The duo then returned to dry land before saying goodbye to the creature who left, smiling brightly.

The boy then went to sit on the steps leading to the entrance of the castle, although he was nervous and not very confident.

-....Do you really think we have time?

- (We're talking about Dim Sun's minions, Kell. You know their legendary level of intelligence!)

He chuckled slightly, relaxing a little.

-...Yeah. You're right.

- (Besides...I don't want you to start the mission with you daydreaming. It's the best way to get yourself killed!)

- That would be better indeed, haha...

The Pokemon settled comfortably on his shoulder, before rubbing against his cheek.

- (So...~ What's bothering you little Amethyst?)

-...Hum...Is...H-How can I say...? I-Is this kind of...D-Dreams normal?

- ( Which one?)

The brunet started fiddling with his hands nervously, not even trying to fight the heat creeping up his cheeks.

- H-Hum...B-By Arceus that's embarrassing...! H-Humhum....

- (....Are you talking about the carnal ones?)

- H-Huh...?

- (The kind of dreams you are talking about...Is it...The one of carnal desire?)

He tilted his head, curious.

- C-Carnal desire....? H-Hum...Do you...Any details...? I don't understand.

- (Ok. Was....Your lower abdomen soring? Or abnormally hot?)
