Arekusu (version 2) was laying in his bed, wriggling around, sweating. He was having a nightmare.
He was standing in a plain filled with tall grass. He heard them rustling it, moving towards him. He saw where they were coming from. He'd tried to run, but they were coming from all sides. They had gotten him into a tight circle, and just at one lunged at him...
"Oddish!!!" He thrusted upward off the bed, screaming. Sewaddle, who was asleep in his chest, screamed and flew onto the ground. He looked down at himself, wrapped in a fine silver cocoon. "Sewaddle, again with the wrapping!! What am I gonna do with you?" Sewaddle blushed and turned away next to the bed. Are rolled off and caterpillared his way towards him. Awww, I'm sorry. I know you're just practicing. But look, I can't even get out this time! Good job!" Sewaddle perked up and strolled away happily, chanting it's name in a sing-song voice. "Hey!! Don't leave me in this thing!!"
Are slid down the stairs on his stomach, hitting his head against the wall. "Haunter, are you down here? Snivy? Hito? I'm kinda stuck..." Unown floated his way over to him, spinning in place, observing him. "Hey A, can you get Snivy for me? I can't get out of this String Shot." After a blank stare, Unown's eye shone blue, and the cocoon fell apart."Oh, yea, that works too. Thanks A!" He got up and gave his pal a hug, then proceeded to the kitchen.
He spent some time preparing breakfast for his Pokemon, then took a metal spoon and a pan and smashed them together. "Wakey wakey everyone! Soup's on!!" Haunter, Misdreavus, Sewaddle, and Hitomoshi all charged into the room, crowding around Are. "Ok, ok no shoving!! Line up and I'll serve you all." The pokemon ordered themselves in a single file line, and Are filled each of their bowls with PokeChow specific to their types. Everyone sat at the table, when Are noticed half the Grass PokeChow was untouched. "Hey, where's Snivy?"
He walked into the living room to see Snivy fast asleep on the couch, the TV still on from last night. "Oh come on Snivy, another late night?" He took out a bottle of Awakening and squirted him in the face. "Get up, you! You're breakfast is getting cold." Are shuddered at the thought of cold PokeChow, but then again, he thought all PokeChow was gross. Snivy slid off the couch, wiping his eyes, then yawning loudly, slowly making his way to the kitchen. He took the pot off the stove and brought it back to the sofa, when Are took it away from him. "Not so fast, mister. We're a family, so we eat as a family. You'd better wake up soon, cuz once everyone's done eating, we start training for the day!" The pokemon in the kitchen cheered, while Snivy just moaned. Today was gonna be a hectic day.

While Are was doing push ups on the grass, the pokemon had several different methods of training. While Hitomoshi and Haunter practiced blasting targets, Unown and Misdreavus were going at it. Sewaddle was trying to wrap up leaves, shrubs, anything nearby in silk, while Snivy sat there, Gameboy in hand. Are got up and took it from him. "Look Snivy, we need to have a little chat. You have to train up if you hope to get stronger. This lazy lifestyle of yours is unhealthy. C'mon, hows about we go a few rounds with some of the others?"
Snivy grunted, then agreed reluctantly.
"Haunter! C'mere buddy!" Haunter happily floated over to Are, his tounge trailing behind him. "It's Snivy and me against you. Go easy on him, but try to give him a good workout, got it?" He rubbed Haunter's head, and he cheerily agreed.
Haunter made his way towards Snivy, his hand glowing with a dark energy.
"Snivy! Counter it with Leaf Blade!" Snivy swung his tail and countered with the attack specified, knocking Haunter backwards. Acting on impulse, Snivy shot a Leech Seed at his forehead. Haunter shook his head, distracted by the seed, trying to shake it off.
"Take advantage of his distraction! Vine Whip!"
Two vines emerged from Snivy's back and shot out at Haunter. Haunter then dematerialized and reappeared behind Snivy, hitting him this time with the Shadow Punch. After a few minute bout, Snivy lay on the ground, unwilling to fight anymore. Are walked over to him and stroked his head. "Hey hey, don't be sad buddy. You gave it your all. You just have to practice a little more. Did you see what your Leaf Blade did though? It really set him back. You've got a lot of potential, we just have to work at it a little. What do you say?" He smiled down at him, then Snivy wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded. "Well alright!" Are exclaimed with joy. "Misdreavus! We're gonna take 10, then it's you against Snivy. Sound good?" Misdreavus did a backflip in agreement, then started to pummel her training partner particularly hard. Snivy gulped, then reassured himself he could do it.

At the end of the day, Snivy had battled everyone. Are and all his pokemon lay scattered around the house. Snivy's attitude had totally flipped around. But for now, he needed to sleep.
Are lay on the couch, his legs sprawled out, hugging Sewaddle as he often does in his sleep. He let himself slip into his dreams.
He dreamed he was drifting in the void of space. He looked around and saw constellations of the Legendaries. His eyes drifted around, he was trying to name all the ones he could. He relaxed and allowed himself to float around...
...and woke up the next morning, once again ensnared in String Shot.
"Awh man! Not again!!!"
After the typical morning routine, Are returned his friends into their balls, with the exception of Snivy. He'd packed up a bag full of clothes and supplies. He flipped open the PokeNav he had gotten for his 14th birthday, shipped to him from his father. He passed it to Snivy, and pressed the Map button. "So Snivy, where do you feel like going?" Snivy scanned the pages of the map, examining the different regions of the world. He flipped back to the Kanto page and poked Pallet Town.
"Pallet Town? There's not much fun stuff to do there, buddy. However, we could go..." He pressed Viridian City on the map. "Let's go check out the Gym here, sound good?"
Snivy jumped and nodded his approval, and the team was off.
