It was the same voice Axel had heard yesterday. He knew who it was but he had to wake up fast in the morning so he decided to sleep. He tried to sleep for 15 minutes but could not. The sound was so minute and sweet but for some reason, he could not sleep at all. So, he thought to visit the girl again.
The girl, Sarena, was in the same place that she had been before.
"Oh hello, Axel. We meet again.", greeted Sarena.
"Hello, I just could not sleep so thought to see if you were here.", replied Axel. He didn't want to say that he woke up from her voice. He didn't want to be listed as a stalker. But this girl must have a good talent for singing. This place was not near his tent. How could he wake up from her voice?
Axel could see Sarena smiling but didn't ask why.
Tonight, they started to talk about some serious topics. Axel told that he wanted to be the Pokemon master and discover new evolution of Pokemons. Sarena expressed her liking for discovering new and unknown places.
"So, you are Bulbasaur, Charmeleon, Shedinja, Nidorino, Beedrill, Gogoat, Absol, and Piloswine. That is a lot of Pokemon for some one your age."
"Yes, it is. But I want to catch more. Being in this forest made me realize that many Pokemon meant good safety."
"Well, that is true. So, which Pokemon do you want to catch next?", asked Serena curious about Axel's reply.
"I have not made up my mind on it."
"Ok. Then let me narrow it down for you. Which Kanto Pokemon would you want to have right now?", asked Sarena. She seemed to be interested in this topic.
"Umm… I may want a Fighting type, Rock-type or a Normal type Pokemon. They must not have evolved. I want a greenhorn so I can develop it my way."
"Ohh, that is interesting. Don't you want a Dragon or a Physic type Pokemon?"
"Not right now. I just started my journey. Dragon-type and Physic type Pokemon take a lot of care and planning to raise. It also takes a lot of time to raise it. I don't think I am qualified enough to do it right now."
Axel was really comfortable when talking to her. He also said about his theory on Hidden Power and Ancient Power. Sarena was a good listener.
Axel also joked about how he woke up from her singing tonight. They talked for hours but Axel felt that it had only been some minutes.
Axel didn't have any romantic feelings for her. He felt that she would be a good friend of his.
"Alright, I would need to get some sleep now." Said Axel saying his goodbye.
"Good night. I may not come here from tomorrow. So, you would not be disturbed.", said Sarena.
"Why?"
"You know, duty calls.", replied Sarena in a causal manner. Axel didn't pay it much heed. She had her duties as an explorer.
He slowly went towards his tent and fell a sleep.

Axel woke up on time. Surprisingly, he didn't feel any tiredness from waking up all night talking to the girl. He hoped to see her someday but everyone had their priories. Axel knew that.
Shedinja and Beedrill had ranked up. Only 3 of these Pokemons were left to evolve or rank up now. He still had 1 month to do it. Axel didn't have any new plans for Piloswine until it reached 100% in its ice core mastery. He wanted to it trains itself and battle with his other Pokemons.

Time skip, 3 days,
After the night with Sarena. Axel had been seeing a weird dream. The dream always started when he was near the pond where he met Sarena. Then he would just fly. He didn't know if he was even human. He would fly through the forest where he would see many types of Pokemons sleeping. There were some nocturnal Pokemons like Noctowl who were wide awake.
Axel would see a variety of scenery. He would also see some rare Pokemons like Flygon and Salamance. The dream would end when he would see a herd of Tauros sleeping. He would also see young baby Tauros sleeping with their parents. Axel would then fly for some distance where he would see a safe place to camp.
This same dream haunted him for 3 days. Today was the day they would move to a different place. He thought to journey through the same route that the dream showed.
'Maybe there is a herd of Tauros. If there is, then I could catch one.' He thought. They would have to move out so why not try the dream way?
The dream was vivid and had been repeated for 3 days. Axel didn't have any problems navigating the way. The team was a bit surprised about that. Normally, a Pokemon would navigate the way, not Axel. But since, he was the leader no one said anything cause after a month they completely trusted Axel in his leadership.
The place was the same. The only difference was that it was bright now. Axel could feel the nostalgia in every step. This was secretly scaring Axel a lot. Was he going mad? Or is this some sort of superpower that he didn't have before?
After reaching the place, everyone was shocked…
