Waking up early in the morning before the sun had peeked from the horizon, to a headache wasn't a pleasant experience to Anya, her beds new resident seems to have a habit of moving in her sleep.

Anya watched Faesol's movements as the Espeon slept, she wasn't sure but the actions she made when she was unconscious weren't normal, she thought. 'She might be having a nightmare or a dream of a battle?'.

The actions were twitchy, had a hint of urgency and included no offensive actions, mostly running and rolling on the bed. Anya pondered for a while before taking her blanket and decided to smother the Espeon underneath, trying to calm her down.

She somehow managed to wrap Faesol inside the blanket, calming her down a bit, or at least enough to simmer down her constant struggling.

Anya being already wide awake. Stood up from the bed and put on her clothes, she opened the rooms door, left it open a bit and went downstairs.

Silently stepping down the stairs, she heard someone talking in the living room. Must have meant that Samuel was already awake.

"I can't do this dad, what if she is like Anya, what if we have always been played by the Pokémon we have..." Anya heard Samuel say and was surprised that Samuels mentality was a lot different than she expected, she had always though that he, as a past champion, was the stoic figure he always showed to be. 'Anya, you idiot' she thought. She was from earth, she knew that a lot of celebrities have 'another' side to them. One for the fans and work and the other one for family and friends.

She reached the final step and did what she thought was best for the current situation. Anya casually strolled to the fridge while Samuel was either ranting about his life and everyone's expectations of him or telling some things he had found odd... about her, Even Faesol was mentioned once or twice. From what Anya could understand from his speech Samuel was talking to his father. Most things Samuel said was a truth about her, some more than others.

Anya chose to ignore Samuel's rant, she knew de-stressing was important, for all the intensive studying she had done when she was a human, she had a first hand experience what happens when you don't.

The fridge door opened with a silent creak and Samuel's voice quieted. The room was quiet, Anya reaching inside the fridge to take out a bottle of juice and a berry. Only after closing the fridge and turning around did she notice that Samuel had gone quiet, he was looking at her direction, a phone held loosely in his hand and there was a voice of his father asking if something happened or was wrong.

Anya stood still while holding the berry in her cutter, slowly the juice from it started to drip along Anya's cutter. Noticing this and not wanting to mess the floor she hurried to the kitchen counter.

"Ho-How long were you there?" Samuel said stuttering "A-and how much did you hear?" he soon continued. Anya made a quick shrugging gesture and wiped her cutter in the sink, the juice getting her cutter sticky and annoying.

"It... it's not like that..." Samuel said in panic "let me explain" he continued. Anya just waved at him in dismissal. She will deal with it soon she thought but first she needed the food.

A shout of his name from the phone caused Samuel to stir and he put the phone near her head again and tried to ensure the other party that everything was fine.

-----------------

Anya had eaten her food and sighed, she looked at Samuel who was nervously fidgeting his fingers around next to her. Anya sat up and switched to the seat that had the typewriter, she typed. 'WHAT DO YOU WANT?' with a ding she was done.

Samuel looked at the written message and opened his mouth before closing it without a word. Anya shook her head and typed more.

'DESTRESSING IS IMPORTANT'

'I UNDERSTAND, THAT I AM ODD, BIZARRE, STRANGE, ABNORMAL, TOO HUMAN'

'WHICH BOTHERS YOU, SAY THE WORDS AND WE LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE'

'KNOW THIS, I HAVE NO ILL WILL TOWARDS YOU OR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT US'

The lines stopped and Samuel took a look at the four lines of letters. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft thump hitting the floor, a blanket had appeared at the bottom of the stairs was wiggling and a muffled sound was heard inside it.

------------------

Faesol woke up, her body wasn't sore like usual but she could not move her feet, tail and head at all. She had her eyes open and all she saw was darkness, 'still night' she thought and tried to go to sleep again. Ever since her evolution she has been extremely aware of the position of the sun and naturally waking up at dawn was part of her nature.

She tried to nap but something in her body didn't allow it, annoyed by her current predicament she started struggling around. A twitch was all she needed to know she could move, maybe Anya could help her she thought, the Anya in her mind had a solution to everything.

She struggled around wiggled her body around, causing something to move. After a while a feeling of falling came to her gut and soon it was over with a soft impact, she still couldn't move correctly. She had fallen from the bed, she thought and continued her work.

Soon enough she felt a series of thumps, thinking she had reached her destination she called for help. "Anya!"

-------------------

'An Espeon burrito' was what could be thought of the thing in front of Anya, as the thing that fell from the stairs was Faesol who had somehow gotten stuck inside of her blanket. Anya helped her by opening the ball, she wasn't sure how it even got like that, it seemed like an impossibility to her.

"Heyyy! I can see!" shouted Faesol as she was extracted from the pile by Anya.

"Of course you can?" questioned Anya

"brr.. its kinda chilly in here" she said while ignoring Anya

"Right" Anya said and left.

Anya went to the fridge again and opened it. She wasn't sure what she could give to the Espeon in question and looked at the dumbfounded Samuel and gesturing to him. He understood her meaning as everyone else had eaten already.

--------------------

Anya put the sheet from her blanket inside the washing machine, it became dirty as it was dragged along the not so clean floor that was not cleaned for two weeks as they came back just yesterday, she also changed all of her other bed sheets.

She took out new sheets from the closet and put them on. She went back downstairs when she was done. They were still in the middle of an important conversation.

"This, This is... just sad..." said Samuel after managing to respond to Anya's latest typing and preparing food for Faesol. Anya shook her head, moving back to the typewriter.

"I am not going to kick you out" he said resolutely "And thanks for trying to cheer me up at least, I think I needed it" his lips curved upwards.

'Not so bad of a conversation at all' Anya thought, a moment too soon though.

"So let me get this straight? Your intelligence is not normal and you know it yourself? Like that Espeon over there isn't like you?" he said while motioning with his head towards Faesol.

'YES, I AM SMARTER THAN MOST POKEMON, HOWEVER'

'I DO NOT KNOW HOW SMART ALL POKEMON ARE, ONLY THOSE THAT I HAVE MET'

'WHICH ISN'T A LOT, TO BE HONEST'

'FAESOL OVER THERE IS A NORMAL ESPEON, INFLUENCED BY MY KNOWLEDGE'

'I HAD GIVEN HER THE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE AN EVOLUTION FROM'

'HER ORIGINAL EVOLUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN A FLAREON'

Anya kept typing and Samuel behind her reading every written line with care. He was obviously thinking something important.

Faesol had moved on the table, curious about the thing Anya called the typewriter. She intently looked at the text on the paper, trying to make something out of these blocky 'letters'. In the end she could not read anything and will have to wait for Anya to teach her about them and how to use the typewriter.

The continuous clacking sounds that came from the typewriter were satisfying like scratching an itch on a hard to reach place she thought satisfied.

--------------------------

Anya had written quite a lot and her arms were getting tired, the conversation was also not going forward at a snails pace or if at all. Even Faesol had grown bored and started to explore the house alone.

'YOU CAN STOP MOPING AROUND THIS AND DO SOMETHING'

'I PREFER NOT TO WASTE MY WHOLE DAY ON ENDLESS BICKERING'

'I WILL EVEN GIVE YOU A FREEBIE, HOW DOES THAT SOUND?'

"I... Wait why?"

'TO CONVINCE YOU THAT OUR DEAL IS STILL VALID. ASK YOUR QUESTION'

Samuel hesitated, he didn't have any questions ready and his mind was running blank. His plans for the questions were to first find out her prices and topics to make a list out of different things he wanted to know, sadly he had not yet started on the list as he had been quite busy.

After pondering for a while Samuel asked his question. A question not many other trainers knew the answer of.

"My question is, What legendary Pokémon do you know of?"

'AN INTERESTING QUESTION, BEING A BIT TOO WIDE OF A TOPIC'

Samuel read this and his face fell, before he could ask another question, Anya had continued to type.

'HOWEVER, I CAN LIMIT THE KNOWLEDGE TO THE LOCAL REGIONS OF KANTO'

'AND JOHTO, IF THAT IS OKAY FOR YOU?'

"Y-yes" he stammered. Getting some information of their whole regions legendary Pokémon was great.

'ALL RIGHT' Anya nodded and began to type, even though her arms were a bit sore already she endured.

'FIRST ONE IS MEW, THE ORIGIN OF ALL POKEMON'

'THEN COMES ARTICUNO, ZAPDOS AND MOLTRES, THE ELEMENTAL BIRD TRIO'

'THE LEGENDARY BEASTS FROM JOHTO, ENTEI, RAIKOU AND SUICUNE'

'THE GUARDIAN BIRDS, HO-OH AND LUGIA'

'THEN CELEBI THE TIME JUMPER'

'AND'... there was a long unnecessary pause. Anya was thinking should she tell them about Mewtwo who isn't even born yet, the M2 project hasn't even started yet and Giovanni was part of the group that made it. She decided it was not worth it.

'AND WE ARE DONE' the line continued a bit later.

Looking at the paper in front of him, he knew them to be right. 'How does she know about Celebi?' Samuel thought, the others he could understand but, knowing about Celebi and its connection to time was a great surprise to him. He remembered how he had met Celebi all those years ago and how he went to the future and met a young boy named Ash along with his Pikachu who helped him get back to his own time.

Stuck in his thoughts Anya calmly waited for him to ask him any follow up questions. Samuel gaze was looking at the distance obviously reminiscing his past. Anya wondered about the reason and she remembered that 'Sam' from the Celebi movie was Samuel Oak. That could explain why the list of legendaries had such an reaction to him.

Anya typed again. the soft clacking echoing the room.

'HEY, CAN YOU GET ME A LETTER' the paper read, she knew she was going to regret it but on the off chance something does happen, she wants to be ready. She poked at Samuel which caused him to wake up in alarm.

Samuel scratched his neck sheepishly and said "Sure, I'll go get you one..." he went to one of the boxes near the entrance to backyard and started to rummage through it.

It didn't take long before he found a bit dusty but found a pack of letters. He hadn't needed these after phones were released to the public and his Dragonite could take him to anywhere he wanted in less than a day.

He gave the letters to Anya who had typed something while he was looking.

'PLEASE WRITE THE NEXT LINE ON THE LETTER'

'ONLY OPEN AFTER YOU TURN FIFTY YEARS OLD -ANYA'

Samuel did what was told and wrote her message on the letter, he wasn't sure who it was meant to. Did she even know anyone who would be fifty years old soon? Even in the whole of Pallet town there isn't that many old people as most of them perish well before turning fifty, he himself has ten years to go.

An errant thought crossed Samuel's mind, 'what if Anya is a Pokémon from the future brought to this time by Celebi? Also, the only person who can read her language is himself at the moment' which supported his theory of her being a time traveler.

"Are you a time traveler?" Samuel said out of nowhere. Anya looked at him in surprise, not expecting such a question right of the bat after telling him about different legendary Pokémon. A smirk rose on her lips and she typed.

'NO, BUT DON'T WORRY, I CAN KEEP YOUR SECRETS :P' noticing that Faesol was waiting in front of backyard's door obviously thinking something, she quickly escaped to the backyard while giggling. Opening the door and following after the eager Faesol.

Yet again Samuel stared at the paper in front of his face. Utterly stumped, 'how could she know!? and what is that last line? Who or what is P?'

Samuel would have to wait for another day for the answer. He left the letter on the table and went to take a shower, he needed to cool his head. Too much thinking...
