The guard looked over the blue haired young man before the door. He was wearing a black Team Rocket uniform and matching shades. Next to him a good sized Persian swished its tail back and forth. In his arms he was carrying a glossy furred Vulpix. "Do you remember your ID number at least?" Seth paused. His own ID wouldn't help him here..... Seth gave the guard an ID number and waited as he went back inside the motel/Team Rocket Station to confirm it. He looked down at Mimic, who was fidgeting in his arms. Seth could barely sense him reaching his mind out around them. Probably checking for Doppler no doubt. Finally, the guard returned with an ID card in hand. He looked at the card, up at Seth, and back again. "So you're James?" "Yeah, that's me." "Okay, go on in." He passed the ID and a key to Seth. "Try not to lose it again. Since it's late, I already signed you a room, I assume that's why you're here." Seth looked at the key. "Yeah, thanks." When Seth found his room, he put Mimic down on the ground and locked the door behind them. It was a tiny room with nothing more than a bathroom and a bed. Seth looked upon the latter gratefully. He couldn't remember the last time he'd really slept, and after swimming all the way from Pokemon Island to Cinnabar, and all that had followed at the beach party, he was exhausted. He pulled off his shades and threw himself on the bed, hugging the pillow. "Purrrrsiann...." Slasher made himself comfortable in a tight curled ball at the foot of the bed. As Mimic nestled in another pillow, he was suddenly aware of light snoring. "Seth sleep fast." He lay there awhile, watching him and letting the events of the day sink in. *** "Aerie...." "Seth, is that you?" Violet eyes. Seth felt like bursting out of his skin. Instead he rushed towards her. "Aerie! Aerie, it's me!" "Find me Seth! I can't see you!" The swirling mists were heavy.....but Seth could barely make her out in the distance. Her bright eyes shone, beckoning him onward. Just a few more feet, and he'd finally take her in his arms..... "Aerie! I've got you, it's going to be okay now!" Just as he reached her and went to put his arms around her, she disappeared. He looked around in panic. "Aerie!?" She was gone again, and he was alone once more. Seth sunk to his knees, losing himself in the mists. "Aerie...!" *** Mimic sighed. Beside him, Seth gave broken sobs in his sleep.
