Why do Pokémon have to be awake during the night, is it some sort of law or something? All over Route 8, Pokémon chirped, ran about, hunted one another (quite savagely I might add) and squawked! I couldn't bloody sleep! Purple had gone into slumber as soon as his head touched the ground but alas, I was still awake. For the past few days, I had been doing my best to avoid the dreams but tonight, I just wanted to sleep. The dreams could just happen and whatever and I could wake up feeling refreshed. Coffee wasn't strong enough to keep me awake. Perhaps there was something else I could try. I heard Slowpoke tails made people feel better.
Eventually, I had to call forth my Haunter to put me to sleep with Hypnosis. It worked (like last time when Haunter was Gastly and put me to sleep by accident - or was it on purpose?). Anyways, at least the Pokémon could be useful sometimes. So, for the rest of the night, I enjoyed a much needed rest. That didn't mean I didn't have a bloody dream about the bloody war or whatever. Here it is.

"Another legless patient. Why do people keep getting their legs blown off? Do they hate walking?"
Doctor House seemed to find humor in all the patients' injuries and trauma. He'd make a joke about their condition (like this man who had his heart nearly ripped out by a Corphish and Doctor House said he was heartless - actually that is pretty funny) and then shout at anyone nearby to fetch him things to fix the patient. He was a good doctor but he had a bad bedside manner.
Fool on the other hand was plain revolting. Whenever he saw someone new, he'd run right at them to look them up and down, taking notes about them but not actually helping them. The man was a strange.
According to reports, the war was going fairly well. Kanto was holding up a good defence across the border and all the way south. Here at the late (late because they're dead) Elite Four's fortress, the position was held strongly. There were no signs of it buckling. Sure there were lots of people getting hurt, but the soldiers still out there were continuing to fight strong.
After a few hours, it began to get dark, and I was taking what few minutes I had to get some sleep. I reckoned I'd been awake for nearly forty hours. I wasn't sure how I'd lasted so long. Whoever invented coffee was a genius.
I must have been asleep for a few minutes when I awoke to laughter. I could barely lift my head to see where it was coming from, but after a several seconds of listening to it, I realised it was Fool. He laughed louder then started shouting. "DING DONG DING DONG, DINNER TIME! DINNER'S SERVED!"
The whole room was watching him (save Doctor House who was getting annoyed with a Chansey who was staring at Fool. Oh and the unconscious and dead people weren't looking either).
"DING DONG DING DONG!"

You know, one night, I was going to have a lovely night's sleep and wake up happy. I just knew it. One day.
Did this mean the Nurse Joys still played with my mind? Was that Drowzee following me? Obviously, the Nurse Joys weren't leaving me alone.
"Foooooood!"
That was Purple, looking at my bag with wide eyes and an open mouth. Knowing him, he probably didn't eat much (because he seems to forget to breath sometimes). I sighed and put my hand in my bag to see what I had left. I found a sandwich for him and some water, which he took smiling then swallowing without chewing. He almost choked. Foolish Purple. How I've missed you.
I rummaged further in my bag to see if there was something for me but instead found a Pokéball. At first, I thought it was empty, as I knew I had a ton somewhere in my bag, but as soon as I lifted it up to have a look at it, the Pokéball opened and a Chansey appeared. I couldn't remember capturing a Chansey but that wasn't what was wrong. Why was I able to carry seven Pokémon?
Purple showed he had seven too (could that thing that warped reality be counted as a Pokémon?). Weird. Maybe they changed the rules or something?
My thoughts were interrupted by Purple's Koff Koff who was spinning in the air with glee. I looked around to see a girl waving to Purple. She was a "Lass" trainer. She introduced herself as Lass Julia and she raced towards Purple's arms. Of course, Purple wasn't expecting this and they both fell over.
"Sorry Nurse Joy, I have just missed Purple is all." Said Julia, getting up off Purple. "That's a nice Chansey you have there."
Ahhh... another one who thought I was Nurse Joy. Perhaps I could use this to my advantage. I told her that I was presently escorting Purple as his Weezing had contracted a dangerous contagious condition and needed to be taken to the Pokémon Center
Now, Purple and I are going to Lavender Town
Hope to see you again soon.
