Dedicated to my friend, CynthiaSchanda for me missing her birthday party and her one day late actual birthday. Happy late brithday, Cindy!

Awakening into the dream world, Leila dreamed of more freedom, old friends, and now she dreams about training. She dreams of the future, defeating gym leaders' Pokemon, but also losing to some which she twitched in her sleep for. 

Barn was now awakening from the umbreon's fights and he yawned, showing his needle-like teeth. He stretched before noticing the ground up clearing: A semi deep crater was in the ground along with areas that were soaking wet. Some trees were cut in half and the umbreon lay on a rock, sleeping in the sun, twitching occasionally. The houndoom could only guess that Leila defeated some of the opponents. 

"Well, good morning, Baron." he heard Natalie whisper from a sitting position beneath a tree. She leaned back on it like it was a normal chair, but her head was pointed skyward and acting like she was sleeping and her arms were crossed over her chest like they usually are. How did she know he was awake? She always did this to Baron; confuse him. 

"Well, how did Leila do?" the dark and fire type Pokemon asked. 

"Better than I anticipated, really. She got Quan, Doyle and almost Violet." the trainer replied. 

"Wow." the houndoom said, his head jerking back a little from the shock. "I guess you soaked some information into her." 

"Took a while, but I did." she sighed, opening her eyes to stare at the tree's leaves. 

"What are you gonna do now? She defeated two and almost your second best. When do you think she'll be able to take out Violet?" 

"However long it takes."

Leila woke up when the moon was high and she saw Natalie and Baron sleeping below a tree, the roots making a loop around them as they sleep. Her golden eyes blink and she walks away stealthily. She begins to make her way toward the sound of a gurgling stream. 

Making her way toward it was very easy. Her paws were hardly making a sound as she trudged deeper into the woods. The sound of the stream going downstream kept getting a little louder until she saw it. Clear water trickled down gently, overlapping other parts of the water. The moonlight made the surface shimmer in amazment and made the stream look gorgeous. Tree leaves on the other side of the bank hung low over the water, the lowest leaves actually touching the surface. 

She walked toward the fascinating sight and lowered her head toward the water, taking a drink and quenching her forever thirst. The water tasted real and alive, running and amazing. Licking her lips to get the excess water off, she looks around. Shouldn't there be other night time Pokemon running about, making the scene making it even more curious? In that thought, she knew something was wrong. She looked around more observently and saw nothing until a large brown net came hurtling towar her. 

She jumped out of the way just in time, using Iron Tail to make sure that it won't follow her, even though it was just a net.backing up, she heard leaves snap and crack and her golden eyes looked into the darkness. Seeing white uniforms, she ran back toward the clearing where her protection was. Before she reached the clearing, she tripped over some kind of contraption. 

Looking at it, it was a trap and when she tried to get up, her legs were bound tighter by some vines or wires sticking out from it. She used Iron Tail to break it, but the trap pulled her tail to the ground. Gasping in astonishment, she used Shadow Ball to hopefully break it this time. The vines didn't detect her attack and she shot the dark purple sphere at the trap. Dust shot out from the impact, making Leila cough.moving her legs, she found out that she was, indeed, free.
