⚡️👻Rotom Dex's POV👻⚡️

I wake up to the sound of whimpering and slowly float up out of the little makeshift bed Cookie made me. I look around to see all of the other Pokémon were sleeping soundly apart from the occasional twitch of an ear.

So where's the whimpering coming from then? I shift my gaze to Cookie only to see her curled up in a ball with her face scrunched up.

I float over to her in worry. Is she having a nightmare? Just as I'm about to reach out to her to try and get her to get up, Espeon hops up onto the bed.

"Hang on Rotom. I know you want to wake her up but if you do that, it'll be ages before we even have a clue on what her nightmare was about." He whispers.

"But-"

"Just give me a moment. I'll handle this go back to sleep. I know it's kinda wrong but still. It'll help in the long run."  He cuts me off  putting his forehead against his trainer's and closing his eyes. A faint red glow comes from his forehead and an even fainter purple comes from beneath his eyes.

I watch on for a moment before laying back in bed and shutting down.

🦉🌿❓❔❓❔'s POV🌿🦉

I stare at my trainer as she cries. For some reason the other humans can't hear her. She was very scared from the moment I saw her and I heard her call out to Litten but for some reason he couldn't hear her. This made her sadder. She called him Friskies.

Her Aunt's Meowth said that she seemed very distressed when she awoke this morning. For awhile she'd been hacking her way into different PC boxes only to get more and more upset by the various empty boxes.

I don't understand. I don't know how to make her happy. She seems very heart broken. She's clutching a poké ball that's on a chain and keeps mumbling to it. Not aloud to the whole world but in her mind. She's not letting me listen though.

I don't know where she got it. According to Meowth she just woke up with it this morning. He questioned her but they apparently never had that good of a mind link.

"Hey Anti?" Bun asks me. I turn to face my long eared fluffy companion.

"Hmm?" I hum tilting my head and starring at our trainer.

"Whose Ball is that? I know it's not mine and I know it's not yours so who's is it?" She asks.

"I don't know. I'm honestly not sure there's anyone in there." I respond.

"Hmm." She hums in reply.

She then hops over to our trainer's leg and tugs at it. "Mistress Cookie?"

Cookie glances down at her and stares for a few seconds before she picks her up, gesturing for me to come sit in her lap as well.

"Whose Ball is this?" Bun asks touching it before jerking her paw away.

"What? What happened?" I ask looking between her and the pokéball.

"There's something really strong in there. I felt him." She replied. We both look up to our Mistress for answers.

She's just staring at us with her slightly glazed eyes before sighing, one of the only things she can do verbally.

Or so I thought. Because as she wraps her hand around the shrunken ball she whispers a single word, a name. "Buddy."

As soon as she has said this the Pokémon inside instantly frees himself. Both Bun and I jump in surprise and turn to look at this "Buddy."

We are met with a very powerful and very proud looking Empoleon. Cookie slowly sets us off her lap and onto the bed before flinging herself at the water-steel type. He seems to have expected this and begins hushing her sobs.

"Is this what you were talking about? Is this what happened before?" He asks. She nods.

"Well our bond is stronger now so I'm here. Plus you got out before right? You can do it again?"

"I don't remember how to."
She responds mentally.

I don't know what they're talking about. I'm confused.

"Besides even if I were to remember I'd keep coming back here until-" she cuts herself off with a sob.

"Then maybe it's sleeping. Maybe that's what triggers it?" Buddy suggests. Before our trainer can say any more he brings her to the bed and begins rocking her and humming as if he was her older brother and she the younger sibling who just had a nightmare.

As he does this, both Bun and I begin to fall asleep just as she seems to be. Before exhaustion consumes me I see a faint purple and red light call out my trainers name and Buddy's.

"Momma Cookie? Buddy? What's-"

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

⚡️👻Rotom Dex's POV👻⚡️
I wake up at the sound of Espeon and Cookie fighting.

"But Momma-"

"ENOUGH ESPEON!" Cookie shouts at him, him flinching and looking down. "I'm sorry I just- ugh. Look I don't even really know what exactly that was."

"But if this has happened before surely-"

"Well I don't Okay? It wasn't even till Buddy suggested it that I realized it happens when I sleep." She cuts him off once more.

"I don't know why it happens, and I don't know why whenever I get back I can suddenly completely understand you guys like N can but I do for a little while. I just only ever mentioned it to Buddy and the fact that either of you were able to join me is- I don't even know what it is or what it means." She sighs covering her face.

I float up slowly yawning to make it seem like I just woke up. I'm curious to know what exactly they mean but don't want to stress Cookie out more. "What's going on exactly?" I ask blinking tieredly at them.

"Nothing." Espeon huffs clearly still bothered by whatever it is they were talking about. He side eyes me suspiciously before turning his gaze over to the other side of the room. He stares at one of his teammates before looking to Cookie and back again.

Cookie follows his gaze and tisks before standing and walking over to the sleeping Flamey and whispering something in his ear.

🔥♠️Flamey's POV♠️🔥

"You're even worse at acting than Rotom is." Cookie says.

Crap. She caught me. I slowly sit up and turn to her. Looking at both her and Espeon.

"I expect an explanation later." I mumble.

"There's not much that can be explained." She replies. She then glances about the room a bit before adding "Anyways you guys'll be heading back tomorrow as should Gold and Silver if they actually listen, which I doubt they will."

I turn to look at Fuzzles and Nina, who have also woken up. Ah, that's why she changed the subject. Well that an Rotom. We all remain silent, only Cookie's Gyrados is in its ball.

I don't know its name or gender as it doesn't really speak and hasn't come out much. It seems to have kept its magikarp brain when it evolved rather than having the 'I'll yell at everything and everyone' attitude that Lavaswimmer does.

Though I think that's just a 'I'm a shiny and I was forced to evolve' thing cause Deathswimmer isn't like that. He just kinda keeps to himself. The strong and silent type I guess you could say, though he's not really that strong.

"Well imma get ready then." Cookie says getting up and stretching. She walks over to her bag and begins shuffling through her clothes. "Ugh. I should've made my outfit last night."

She begins mumbling as she looks through her bag. I have no idea how she fits everything in there. I mean it's so small and yet she's literally able to fit a fishing rod, a bike, and roller blades in there!

Not to mention all her clothes, shoes, and hats. Hell shes able to fit other bags with the same amount of holding capacity in there! How does that even work!?

I mean she's also always got a crap tone of junk and items that she never uses in there along with all the potions and stuff. Hell all trainers seem to have these magical ass bags! They're like bigger than the Pokéspaces and those things can be Fucking ginormous!

I don't get it really. Whatever, guess I should help Momma Cookie pick out her clothes. I stand up and maneuver around the few still sleeping Pokémon and look over Cookie and into her bag.

"Need help?" I ask looking down at her.

She groans as she leans back into me and looks up "Yes. Help me" she begs. I let out a chuckle and look back to the bag. She moves over a bit and begins pulling out some of her clothes.

"I want to wear this tank top but I don't have a jacket or anything to go with it and even if I did it's way too hot for that. And if I just wear the tank top my bra is gonna be very visible and I don't really like that." She says pointing at an orange tank with white poka dots.

"So I figured I'd just wear this but I wanted to wear my black shorts and black sneakers but then I'd pretty much only be wearing black." Cookie adds pointing to a black v-neck

"Well what's wrong with that?" Friskies asks jumping up next to the bag. Oh he has so much to learn.

"Well I don't want to just dress in one color! I want to have others for contrast." She tries to explain.

"Well how bought you wear your blue knee high socks and your blue cycling cap with a light blue flower?" I say pulling out the accessories from Kalos.

"Oh yeah I totally forgot that I brought along some of my clothes from Kalos!" She says happily taking the accessories from me. "Thanks Flamey!" She says hugging me. I hug her back with a smile.

"No problem." I step away to let her change and begin talking to Friskies.

"You really understand Ms.Cookie well don't you?" He asks. I give a nod in response.

"Well I was her third starter Pokémon." I smile turning to look at her as she finishes slipping her t-shirt on.

"I know her first was Buddy but who was her second starter? I thought it was you." He asks me.

"Her second starter was Buddy's son. He apparently hit it off with some other guy's Empoleon. Don't know what went down exactly but it didn't work out in the end." I reply with a shrug.

"Huh." He makes a noise and nods. "How many starters does she have?"

"Hard to say since she didn't start a new adventure with all of them. But if you only count the ones she started new adventures with then," I pause to count how many adventures she's been on " eleven including you. "

"Have I really been on 10? Is this seriously my 11th journey?" She says turning to us and whistling. "I guess it is isn't it. 8 years. Hell im going on my 9th year. Holy shit." Cookie says laughing as she sits down.

"Time really flys." Nina says with a smile.

"It really does." She nods. She looks around the room for a moment before letting out a sigh. It's not of sadness but it's not quite content. More like disbelief? Can you sigh out disbelief? I don't know.

Cookie shakes her head and stands back up. "Alright enough screwing about in the room. Time to go out and meet up with the others. And by that I mean wake them all up because they are worse than me most of the times and Lillie wouldn't be able to wake up a sleeping beedrill- and those things wake up if you breathe to loudly."

We follow her out the door and to Hau's room where sure enough, Lillie is stood at his door trying to figure out how to knock.

Cookie on the other hand walks right up to it and knocks. "Yo Hau! It's time to get up." She yells through the door. Lillie jumps at this and turns to her.

"Oh Good morning Cookie!"

"Mornin." Cookie simply says walking away once we hear a slight gasp and a bunch of thumping from Hau's room.

"I'm surprised you're awake. Usually Hau gets up before you." Lillie says following Cookie to Gold and Silvers room.

She just shrugs in response. She proceeds to clear her throat and knock on the door. "Oooh Silvy! Gold! It's time to get uuuupppp!" She sings sweetly. She waits a few seconds only to get no response.

"Okay hope you didn't fuck last night because I'm coming in if you don't get up in the next 5 seconds."

"1"  She knocks on the door.

"2" she knocks harder.

"3" she pounds on the door.

"4" she pretty much punches the door.

"5" I'm surprised there isn't a hole in the door.

"TIMES UP!" She shouts as she unlocks it with some key she had in her pocket and swings it open.

I glance into the room to see Gold burying his face in Silver's naked chest and Silver's face in Gold's hair. Well their both shirtless.

"Oh look new contact pictures." Cookie giggles pulling out her  pokégear and snapping a pick just as Silver begins waking up.

"Ugh Cookie What the fuck. Did you steal my key again." Silver groans as he turns to glare at her, sleep all over his face and in his voice.

"Maybe. Anyway as cute as this is you guys need to get your asses up." She replies.

"Five more minutes~" a sleepy Gold mumbles.

"Nope I already gave my five seconds, you get up now before I drag you both out of bed."

"Alright alright!" Silver groans detaching Gold from his chest and sliding out of bed, earning a whine from his lover. "Come on Gold. Cookie is right it's time to wake up." He then begins to try and drag him out of bed.

"No! Sleep still." Gold says pulling Silver back down and clinging to him once more. Silver groans at the action.

"Alright well your plaid clad ass is on its own now because Gold can be more of a hassle to wake up than I am." Cookie says leaving the room and walking back into the hall.

"I hate you!" Silver yells at her.

"Love ya too Silvy!"
