I had this dream last night. I don’t really play a lot of Pokémon, and I just come to /vp/ every now and again, so it was kinda weird to have it out of nowhere. In the dream I was out eating dinner with some friends when an old waiter came over and said “you look sad,” I didn’t really know what he was talking about as I was having a good enough time so I just said “nope, I’m doing alright.” He then gave a melancholy smile and said “would you like to see something interesting?”
At that point I was a bit weirded out, but my friends said they’d go and I figured why not. When led us to the front door of the restaurant, opened it, and we walked out into a much more colorful world. Not like somebody turned up the RGB, but colorful in a way I had forgotten. I looked down and I was 10 years old again, I looked at my friends and they were too. The world surrounding us was like the world 20 years ago, but only in the most wholesome, beautiful way. I turned around, and the restaurant had been turned into a Pokémon center and there were various pidgy’s in the trees and rustling in the bushes of other Pokémon you could just catch glimpses of. The atmosphere felt like something from gen 1 or 2, but in the most real, tangible way.
I looked up some steps to the Pokémon center, and there was the old waiter, but now he was 20 years younger. I walked up and asked him what happened, and what was this place. He said something along the lines of “you’ll only be here for a short while, enjoy it while you can.” So me and my friends ran around with the carefree attitude of a child just taking it all in, but all the while there was that sneaking anxiety of knowing we were on a time limit and this could be over soon. We had just gotten to a Pokémon themed casino, when I woke up.
I don’t know why but the whole thing has left me in a melancholy mood.
