Chapter 21:The Seventh Song
(Sora's POV):
"They're what?!"Takeo shouted,his eyes wide with shock.Everyone's eyes were as wide as plates after I told them what Ren told me.I gathered them all to the cafeteria to have a discussion with them about what Ren told me.
"We have to go.Team Rocket is coming."I repeated slowly.They froze,unable to process everything I just said in their heads.
"If so...."Rafe spoke out."We should go.It's not safe here."He stood up.I nodded as I also stood up.The rest followed.
"Silver,you're also in danger.We have to get away from here."I turned toward the red-head.He was staring at the floor,silent as always.I patted him on the shoulder,and he snapped out of his trance.
"I agree.Let's go."He answered and left to get all his stuff.An awkward silence followed.
"Well,I,uh."I stuttered."I should pack all my stuff."I turned my back on them and walked to my room.

"Got everything we need?"Brendan asked.I looked down sadly.Just a while ago,I gave my Cyndaquil to Nurse Joy.She wanted to go,but its too dangerous.She would find another trainer who would take care of her.
I was also lacking sleep,because I haven't slept for a while.It's already 1 am.I could almost feel eyebags forming.
"Yeah."I responded blankly.I felt a pair of warm arms around me.I blinked and noticed that Takeo is trying to comfort me.I was a bit shocked,but I just allowed him to comfort me.
"I know you're having a hard time.She'll be fine.We'll all be fine."He whispered in my ear before letting me go.I smiled softly and playfully punched him on the shoulder.
"Thanks."I answered.He smiled at me before getting on his Salamence.Out of the corner of my eye,I could see Rafe gritting his teeth.But why?Is he angry at something?
I shook these out of my head and got on Rayquaza.I patted him on the head,yawning.My eyes almost felt heavy,but now is not a good time to sleep.
"Rayquaza,can you tell me where are possible locations of the holder of the Seventh Song?"I asked him tiredly.He sadly shook his head.
:Me and Dradian were unable to locate the holder.But just look deep into your heart,and a voice might guide you:He advised.The voice in my heart?What does that mean?
But I should try.As we rose up to the sky,I closed my eyes,repeating the words over and over inside my head.'The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my head.'I thought over and over.
'You know that's not gonna work.'My conscience laughed,but I ignored her and continued chanting it inside my head.
'The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my heart.The voice inside my heart.'Suddenly,an image flashed inside my head.I saw a rainbow,then me and my friends.We were all laughing and chasing each other in a large,green field.
'You are not a horrible friend....'A familiar voice spoke out.The voice,it sounds familiar.'Your friends still need you.'It struck me.I should have known!I thought I don't have psychic,but I already had it all along.
"Jirachi!Jirachi has it!"I shouted excitedly out of nowhere,no longer feeling sleepy.My friends jumped at my sudden outburst,but I don't care,I now know who has the Seventh Song!
"What do you mean?"Brendan asked.I turned toward him excitedly,almost jumping up and down.
"I know who has the Seventh Song!I thought I don't have psychic,but I had it all along!Jirachi has the Seventh Song!"I exclaimed.My friends almost grinned excitedly.
"You're kidding!"Takeo exclaimed,almost laughing.He was glad that I found out,because I know they were all scared.But now we found the Chosen One and the holder of the Seventh Song.
"No."If we weren't on the air,we would have a large group hug right now.
"But problem is,how do we find Jirachi?"Rafe asked.That made me freeze.Oookay....I still haven't thought of that.I closed my eyes,trying to think.
"In the Realm of Dreams,where people and Pokémon's dreams take place!"Jirachi's voice rang inside my head.
"In the Realm of Dreams."I grinned again.Their faces lit up.I already told them about the Realm of Dreams,and they know how to get there.
"Then all you have to do is sleep,find Jirachi and you'll have the Seventh Song!"Kathryn exclaimed.I nodded and yawned sleepily.I forgot I still haven't slept.
"I guess you should do it now."Brendan joked.I almost laughed,but I was too sleepy.
"Sora,get some rest.Remember you still haven't slept for a few hours."Rafe told me sternly.
"But how can I sleep *Yawn* when we are on the air?"I asked them drowsily.
:You can rest on my back!:Latios volunteered.Before I could answer,I was carried by Psychic.Latios carefully placed me on his back,and snickered when I suddenly realized Rafe was also on Latios back.
"I-I'll go on Rayquaza's back."Rafe stuttured.I shot a glare at the blue eon,but he just smirked at me.He planned all this.
"But there's no one who could hold Sora."Brendan protested,almost laughing.Everyone else was restraining themselves from laughing out loud while Silver smirked.I swear after I get off Latios,I'll scream at their faces.Don't they know that me and Rafe are in the middle of a situation?!
"Latios can use Psychic to hold her."Rafe pointed out.
"Latios can't use Psychic to hold her and fly at the same time.He'll get tired."Kathryn protested with a grin.I groaned in frustration.
"Just let Sora rest!"Crystal shouted with her usual serious expression.We both sighed in defeat as I leaned on Rafe's chest,almost blushing at his warmth.I could see Rafe blushing.My eyes drooped heavily as I started to enter the dream world.

I found myself in a grassy area.A few children ran around while some adults watched them.The children saw me and waved at me.I smiled and waved back as I walked down the grassy path.
I have to find Jirachi,he could be anywhere."Jirachi!Jirachi!It's me,Sora!"I shouted,hoping I'll be able to find the wish Pokémon.
I found a beautiful,blue lake with a lot of trees around it.It has a lot of water Pokémon swimming in it.I ignored the lake and searched the area for any signs of the humanoid Pokémon.
"Jirachi!"I shouted.I felt myself trip and I fell down on a small patch of grass.I quickly stood up when I heard a familiar voice.
:Sora!Are you okay?:I looked up and saw the one I'm searching for.The humanoid Pokémon looked at me worriedly.
"Jirachi,I-I'm fine."I answered with a smile.He smiled and flipped in the air.
:Glad you're here!I assume you're here for The Seventh Song,huh?:He asked me.I nodded at him as he placed his tiny hand on my head.

(Rafe's POV):
I could feel my face grow hotter as I felt Sora's breath tickling my skin.It was still a bit dark,so I wasn't able to see ahead of us.I looked down and almost smiled as I watched Sora.She was peacefully dreaming,sometimes muttering in her sleep.
"Jirachi."She murmured.
"So,big brother."Kathryn smiled."Is she light?"I felt my face turn redder than a tomato.
"S-shut up!"I exclaimed coldly.Their grins grew wider.
"Sometimes they remind me of May and Drew."Takeo commented with a grin.
"Yeah.You and Drew are very cocky while Sora and May can be happy-go-lucky and sweet,and they can be scary if they're angry."Brendan added.
"Whatever."I answered coldly.
"Rafe,have you apologized to Sora yet?"Gold asked me.My eyes widened.I'm so stupid!I still haven't apologized to Sora!
"I knew it."Crystal facepalmed.My friends sighed.
"You must apologize!Sora is already having a hard time,she's guilty even though it's mostly your fault!"Takeo shouted angrily.I hung my head and I held Sora tighter.
"I-I know.But I was unable to face her.I hurt her feelings,I was so foolish back then."I admitted.I took a lock of Sora's hair that's on her face and tucked it behind her right ear.I feel so guilty.It's my fault.
I was about to speak,but stopped when Sora moved.Her eyes slowly opened and she sat up.
"What happened?"I asked curiously.She grinned tiredly.The smile on her face says it all,causing us to laugh.
"I got the Seventh Song!"Sora exclaimed happily.
"Will you sing it for us?"Audrey asked excitedly.
"Sure!"Sora closed her eyes,then she started to sing."Rei Va Neu Croa Tue Rei Rei."A pink aura surrounded her and Latios and Latias glowed pink.
:Yay!Sora found the Seventh Song!:Latias chirped happily.
I was so happy for Sora.She never gave up,and now she completed the requirements:all Seven Songs and the Chosen One.
Sora leaned her head on my left shoulder,causing my face to heat up even more."I'm still tired."She yawned sleepily.I could hear my friends snickering.
"T-then why did you wake up?"I asked her.She smiled,the smile I loved and wanted to see everyday.
"I just want to tell ya guys.Now,I'm going back to sleep."She murmured as she buried her face in my chest.Geez.She must be half asleep,because I know Sora would instantly jump when she realized what she's doing.But I just shrugged this off and pulled her tighter,ignoring the teasing smiles of my friends.I'll never let her go...
