Chapter 5: Nightmares and Oreburgh City Gym

Dawn, Barry, and I finally see the cave to Oreburgh City. Ralts, Chimchar, and Piplup say their names happily. I look at the time. "It's 8. We should probably set up camp."

Dawn nods as she starts getting her sleeping bag and the rest of camp set up. Barry starts getting unpacked as well. It's been a week since the three of us banded together. Barry has stuck around with us, for the most part. We've been eager for our first gym challenge. I stretch as I finish putting on my pajamas. I look around so see if there are other trainers around. There are a few scattered here and there. We let out the rest of our pokémon, excluding the Lake Trio. I sigh as I look at the stars. "Uxie would've liked to see this night sky."

When I let her out of her pokéball, I usually find her staring into the night sky. My Starly evolved into a Staravia a couple days ago. Luxio lies on the ground and Piplup gets in her sleeping bag. Our teams are pretty strong. The toughest match we had so far was Miror B., but we still beat him pretty easily. The night sky hypnotizes me into a slumber.

I awake in a pitch-black area. I look around and see myself along with Dawn. I see a silhouette with wispy hair and no legs in one vision. I see myself with a young man and a Lucario. The young man has dark blue hair and is wearing a blue hat. He is wearing a blue button-up jacket over a black shirt, brown pants, and gray shoes. He has a golden necklace. He is glowing a light blue. I have a Riolu beside me, glowing a similar tint. The next images shocks me the most. I'm diving into a swirling, blue void and am reaching out to a man with spiky, blue hair. He is wearing a Team Galactic uniform. I'm wearing a similar outfit to the young man in the last image, minus the hat. My outfit has a cape with black on the outside and blue on the inside. I'm also wearing blue gloves. The next image shows Dawn and I hugging each other closely. Dawn and I look a few years older, but Dawn looks injured. My dream suddenly disappears, being replaced with a haunting feeling looming over me. I am in complete darkness, but I have control over myself. "Dawn?!"

"Barry?!"

"Piplup?!"

"Anyone?!?!"

I see a figure appear from the darkness. It is a man in a black and grey cloak with an eerie design. He has green hair and pale skin. He has a red lens over his right eye. His left arm is extending out from his cloak. He has his hand on a cane with a circle with a shield in it near the top. The shield has a P with a backward Z through it. It is on a black and white background. He chuckles and holds his arm out. "Attack him with everything you have."

A bipedal dragon with a body extending near the ground appears beside him. It growls as it charges an Ice type attack. It fires at me. I yell in pain and jolt awake. I look around to see if anyone's there. I see a black pokémon with wispy, white hair rising out of the ground. It stares at me for a while. I look at Dawn. Her teeth are clenched and she is in some sort of pain. Suddenly, she jolts up as I did. The pokémon then looks at Barry, who starts to have the same experience. When he awakens in a similar manner, the pokémon comes out of the shadows of the trees. "You just experienced a glimpse of your future. Along with your downfall," the pokémon says in my head. "It may change if you learn how everything plays out and act differently. This will cause no strain on time. These are events that may happen if you continue on the route that you are going."

The pokémon sinks into the ground, leaving us. We all look at each other and silently pack up. As we wait for our pokémon to wake up, I look at Dawn. "What did you dream about?"

She blushes and looks away from me. "Us."

"What?"

"I mean, us together. I saw us hugging in a Pokémon Center, a metal disk, then us kissing by a giant, white pokémon, and finally a man with green hair..."
