Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[JessieSune]

Balaa is expecting it, so she initially resists rather strongly, though it's not enough to keep Danielle all the way out.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle tried really hard now. "You're mine" She projected, a small bead of sweat showing on her face. This had a light double meaning on her part considering she was her mommy.

 

[JessieSune]

Balaa strains a bit, but her resistance begins to weaken.

"Mine?" she manages to ask. If Danielle's eyes were open, she'd see her mother standing very still, trying to hold it together.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She used the phrasing mommy had taught her. "Y...you belong to me" She began worried that it wouldn't work

 

[JessieSune]

The stutter in the tone provides a brief moment in which Balaa's resistance spikes.

"I...am...not...yours..." she says, sounding only half-certain.

Simon watches, fascinated.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Her face was covered in sweat now, she tried to focus, but her resolve was breaking. "You...you....." She couldn't do it anymore and collapsed

 

[JessieSune]

Simon dashes to her side.

"Danielle! Are you alright? What happened?"

Balaa, meanwhile, opens her eyes slowly and shakes her head, then looks at Danielle.

"Sweetheart -- are you hurt?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

You can hear faint snoring coming from the little vulpix, but she had a smile on her face.

 

[JessieSune]

"You know," says Balaa to Simon quietly, "if she hadn't stuttered -- I would have lost. She almost had me."

"She's very strong," laughs Simon.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She had a pleasant dream, and she saw Simon in her dream. She decided to look into his mind.

 

[JessieSune]

There's, as usual, not much to see. But he does look up at you and grin.

"Making a habit of this, Danielle?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Y...ou know i'm yaaaaawwwwnnn here?" she askes confuse and still incredibly sleepy.

 

[JessieSune]

"I'm a dream, so of course I do! Looks like you wore yourself out quite a bit, huh?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Yeah...." she said still confused as to what was happening. this is a weird dream.

 

[JessieSune]

"Why did you stop? A little longer and you would have succeeded! Besides -- you already know it's not that hard to get to me. I bet you could control almost any Pokemon!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"But mommy was letting me do it" she argues with, apparently, her own mind.

 

[JessieSune]

"No she wasn't. She was fighting to stay in control and you know it. You really think she'd let herself lose? She wants you to be strong -- so of course she wouldn't make it easy."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Y..you really think so?" She asked herself. It made sense but still... it was hard to believe.

 

[JessieSune]

"Don't be coy. We both know so. And when you stop dreaming, next time you'll win. Don't hold back just because she's your mother. Take control!"

The Simon in your dreams looks a tad sinister for a moment, but then appears thoughtful.

"I suppose it seems strange, but this is how you do things..."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"I...I didn't hold back, I fainted, that's not my fault." she said looking down dejectedly.

 

[JessieSune]

"I didn't say you held back. I'm simply saying you shouldn't next time."

Dream Simon places an arm on your head.

"I think she's proud of you. We should be proud, right?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Yeah." she said gaining some of her beforehand perkiness.

 

[JessieSune]

"When are you planning on waking up? I have a feeling she'll want us to try again. Besides...I think I smell food. Or...you do."

Simon sniffs the air.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She sniffs as well. "Oh yeah I forgot I was dreaming well, it was nice meeting you!" She said not aware that her dream self didn't really care, or that she practically said bye to herself. She tried to wake up.

 

[JessieSune]

Danielle wakes up to see the real Simon standing over her with a curious smile.

"Hi, Danielle! Want some berries?"

Balaa, meanwhile, is staring at a small fire she's built inside the cave.
