Hero?

HERO?

Leo, Matthew and Aspen land in striaton city, on a helipad, near Fennel's lab. The friends exit out of the helicopter, Leonard trips out... Matthew jumped out and shuddered "I knew we shouldn't of let you come!", Aspen walks out "What's wrong? We're friends now!". The coldworker retorted "Friends don't hug like that!", Leonard replies "Calm down, it's not like she hurt us. Besides...", he turns around "We hafta go! The sooner I help Fennel, the sooner I can challenge the gym!". Matt exclaimed "Yeah, let's hurry! If any more distractions pops up, heads will roll!", Aspen agreed "I'm excited too! We're meeting a professor then going to the gym!".

They walk to the lab, the friends enter to find a home? Leo smiled as Fennel walks downstairs "Leo, you're here!". She runs up to them "I'm so glad you made it! Sorry about the mix up!", Leo chuckles "Don't worry, no 1 suffered from it!", She looks at his friends "Who're they? I knew you had a friend, but I never expected you to bring them...", Leo's interrupted by Matt "I'm Matthew, nice to meet you!". Aspen smiles "I'm Aspen! We just met today! ...", she then asks "How do you and Leo know eachother? He's a pilot, right? And you're a professor, it seems strange...". Fennel explains "We met years ago, but we were sent to different schools halfway through 4th grade: I was apparently too smart to stay just there..." she blushed. She then gestured them to follow her upstairs as she finished "Me and Leo became friends back then, but we were... snatched apart before we could realize it...". She stops in her room, the friends see a strange machine with a tube hanging from it... Leo tilts his head "Sex dungeon?", Matthew answered "It's a ventilator?", Aspen leers "Did you call him here for something... fun?" Fennel jumps "Wait! No, it's not like that! This is the: Dream Radar. I've been studying dreams since college and have found something very interesting...". Leo replies "Dreams DO come true?", Fennel giggled "Yes! They literally do, thanks to Dream Mist! A substance, psychic types give off, few can create anything from only thought, but we need to find out how to change the object from mist form, to a physical". She turns on the machine, a berry falls from it! "I used this to extract it, and try to find simple objects, such as food... but thanks to other scientists... my dreams have been... "on hiatus ...", Aspen then asks "Why? What did they use it for?". Fennel looks upset as she explains "They wanted power, more than what they were blessed to have... they wanted to manipulate things, we shouldn't control... This destroyed the Dream radar as I made it for simple things: like making children's dreams! Then I decided to use it to solve problems in the world. But...", Matthew then asks "What's wrong right now? Just could fix it...". Fennel looks at him "I have... the problem is: Some of my colleagues joined Plasma, and the organization's been trying to steal from us... That's where Leonard comes in!", she smiles "They've been kidnapping psychics who create dream mist, the police stopped caring since it's happening all the time. But you'll help me Leo, right?". Leonard smiles "Yeah! I'll kick their asses!", she replies "Yes! I'm hoping once they fail, it'll scare the rest not to come here again...". Fennel then walk downstairs "I'll show you where they've been attacking us...", the friends walk to the dream yard! They stare at the destroyed building overrun with wildlife... Leo stares "This was a lab too?", Fennel then replies "Yes, I couldn't continue the experiments in my home, since I live with my family. So I tried to attempt the experiments here again, hoping they'd never expected me to return! But Plasma's found out, and now they're searching around here every night...". Leo looks around the building "So we wait until they strike again, then put a stop them right? Don't worry, I have it!", Fennel smiles happily "Thank you! But... since they'll only come then... We could catch up until 6:30.". Leonard smiles "Alright! Let's eat! I was so excited about challenging a Gym Leader, I didn't eat anything!", Matthew sighed "Brother you won't be able to beat any of them, if you can't even remember to eat!". Aspen then asks "So where do we go? Isn't straiton gym a restaurant too?", Leo replies "It'll be too exciting for me to go there now...", Fennel laughed "Then he'll eat at my house! Here!", she gave checks to Matt and Aspen "To apologize for the trip, even though I didn't know you were coming: I'm sorry I made anyone wait so long due my mistakes.". Fennel smiles "If you wanted to help too, it shouldn't be long: the next experiment starts in a hour!". Aspen smiles "♪Your sooo nice♪!", Matthew looks upset "We can't take your money!", the professor smiles "It's alright, even though the building's destroyed, I still get a huge check every week! The only reason I haven't bought a new lab, is because of Plasma: I have alot!". The friends later left to eat, then came back to Fennel's home at 6... Aspen sees Matthew walking slowly to her "I ate too much... I'm going to die...", she giggled "You didn't have to spend the entire thing on food! I ate lunch then bought stuff for our trip!", Matthew freaked "But it was all for lunch! You didn't really use it on...". Leonard and Fennel walk up, the coldworker stops as he notices her blushing... "Something weird happened to you? Did Brother find say something pervy? Someone farted?", Aspen laughed as Leo smiles "We just realized we were REALLY good friends, when we caught up...". Fennel adds "Yes... now let's concentrate on Plasma...", Aspen giggles "You were a couple! I knew it!". Fennel jumps "Why would say that!?", Matthew glared "Because you're acting weird now!". They both stare as Leo explains "Don't worry nothing serious happened! We're adults, we didn't do anything...", Matt shouted "Brother! You can't do THAT! If you screw up, we'll be stuck with a ki...". They hear another voice "Professor, are you ready?", they turn to see another scientist. Fennel replies "Yes (ahem) let's start...", she turns toward the friends once more "We'll go underground, you wait up here...". The friends wait until they see two Plasma grunts sneak into the dreamyard. They set up a machine, and pull out ropes... Leo suddenly flies to them! They turn to see him! One grows huge Swoobat wings! The other grows a Patrat tail! Leo uses Fly! The Patrat grunt misses his Hyperfang, then is dropkicked! The other uses Psychic! Leonard lets it hit, then rushed the grunt! Aspen stares in surprise as she watched "He flew to them so fast...", Matthew replied "Yeah, he came here to help Fennel...". She then expains "I meant, it's like he did this before... He even let's himself get hit by attacks he could've dodged easy...", the coldworker then explains "Brother's said he's trained for the Celestial league, but I'm not sure when he did... As for the getting hit on purpose: he told me he wants psychic power. But the only way to get new powers, is to be exposed to them alot. Unfortunately, Normal and Fighting types are natural evolution, if he's already part Fighting type like me, He could have a weakness to it, and can't stand it too long...". Leo knocks out the Patrat grunt, then used Rolling Kick on the Swoobat grunt! They fall, then revert... Fennel runs to him "I watched! That was beautiful! I already called the police too! Thank you♡!", she then turns "I have to go back and finish, I'll thank you all properly tomorrow!". Fennel runs back down to the lab to finish the experiment, while Leo glares at the ground...

Aspen and Matthew walk to him "He won! Why does he look upset?", Matthew answers "Maybe Psychic hurts alot more since he let it hit directly.". He walks to him "You're a'ight Brother? Are you hurt?", Leo smiles "I'm fine, in fact! I'm going to the Striaton gym now!". Matthew freaks "You just got out of a fight! And you didn't eat anything earlier, did you!?", Leo laughs "I can beat them! Besides If I can't beat a gymleader now, how will I win the Celestial league!?". He runs to the gym! "C'mon! I'll beat him easily!", Aspen giggles "If he really feels so confident! Maybe he can beat it!", Matt agreed "Yeah... maybe I'm worrying too much...". Leo excitedly leads his friends to the building! "It's time to challenge the Striaton gym!". They walk inside the restaurant.
