The Indigo League Dragon Tamer's Wild child

Chapter 14

                                                                                   Ash's POV

"Still getting those weird dreams ?" A Man with silver hair said as he sat at a distorted table. "Yeah, I finally got to hear the kid's name. His name is Ash." The Kid with red hair said and much like the man I couldn't make out his face since it looked all smoky... "These dreams really worry you Silver and you wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink when they happen..." The man said as he raised what looked like a mug to his face still all smoky. "Yeah I'm just worried even if they aren't real they feel so real like I'm really there with Ash and the person volunteering to be his caretaker." Silver said. "Maybe it's a sign from one of the Tapus." The man said. " So you're saying this could be real..." Silver said.

"Psychics are a real thing...we don't have many here in *Distorted* ." The Man said and I craned my ears to hear the last part but it was like I was trying to hear things underwater. "I've never had an indication of me being a Psychic though. I've always heard that by my age you would know." Silver said and Ash saw the man nod. "Do you believe it's real?" The man asked. "Yeah *Distorted*" I couldn't;t hear the last part and I felt myself being yanked backward and I bolted up.

I looked around the dark room and remembered that Lance was back at his hotel and I was still in the hospital room...But what in the world was that dream? Why did it feel so real like I was really there?? Where was there and are those people real?? If they were real...as strange as that would be...How? I thought to myself as I calmed my breathing because even though the dream wasn't a nightmare it felt like I woke up from one. 

I've become more familiar with nightmares considering everything from my journey up till now and that dream didn't feel like one. I felt surprisingly calm, at peace, and physically present like my body was where they were. I grabbed my cup of water and drank it before uneasily falling back asleep...

I kept having the smoke-like dreams with Silver and the man with silver hair but most of their words were distorted and I kept waking up feeling like I had just had a nightmare. I would go back to sleep uneasily till eventually, I fell into a peaceful sleep with no rea like smoke dreams.  "Come on dear you have to wake up we're checking your weight." A voice said from above me and I groaned and tried to roll back over still heavily exhausted from the night before but when the person kept gently shaking me I opened my eyes to see Nurse Daisy with a sympathetic smile. 

"Rough night huh?" She asked and I just nodded. "Don't worry your dad's going to be right here but we do need you to be up." Nurse Daisy said with a smile and I felt a pang go off in my heart whether it be fear of having a dad or excitement about having a dad again but I slowly sat up blinking the sleep from my eyes. 

"Here's some orange juice it'll help you wake right up." Nurse Daisy said as she handed me a cup and I gulped it down. It was only a few short minutes later I heard footsteps down the hall and I turned to look at the door just in time to see Lance step in with a smile on his face when he saw me up and drinking my orange juice. Nurse Daisy beamed at Lance before she stepped out to get the doctor and Lance came and sat at the foot of my bed with Pikachu.

Lance told me about his cooking lesson with Clair and I laughed when he said they devolved into a rice fight. Clair sounds fun and funny and I'm not quite ready to meet her but I look forward to it when I feel ready. "I didn't sleep all that well last night," I admitted sheepishly as I patted Pikachu and Lance's face turned serious and concerned. "Why? Are you alright? Did you have bad dreams or just a hard time falling asleep?" Lance asked and I was a bit stumped at his serious tone. 

"One of those kinda, my dreams were just bizarre and kept waking me up. I don't really remember them that well but I remember they werided me out." I said and I felt bad fudging the truth at the end but how do I explain that?? Lance nodded and he looked like he was thinking about something before the doctor and Nurse Daisy came in.  I walked over to the scale and we took my weight before I sat down next to Lance for the doctor to explain what it means and how much longer I have left here.

"Ok, good news you're only about 10 pounds off the mark so you're almost there bud. All of the Poison is officially out of your system and since your body is in a more stable state your wounds are healing faster. The reason they were healing so slow was your metabolism was prioritizing keeping you go and sending almost all your energy there instead of where it can heal your wounds.  You'll only have to stay here for another week or so so we have progress being made there so all in all you are in a much better state than when you arrived." The Doctor said as he looked at his clipboard and I felt a lot better knowing that I don't have to stay here much longer even though this is the first time in a long while that I've slept in a bed. 

The Doctor and Nurse Daisy left not long after all of that and I saw Lance smile and I smiled alongside him. "When you get discharged you'll be able to come home with me and see your room that I've cleared out for you. Then in a few days of you being discharged, we'll get you decorations for your room and redecret it to your liking. I want my home to feel like your home as quickly as possible since it will be your home soon as well." Lance said and I just burrowed my way into his chest because I had no way to respond with words.

Lance just held me and I felt like some of the pieces of me that I thought were lost fall a bit more back in place...
