"Oh, okay-," Casys replied to Levi as he ran off. Casys looked up toward the faint sunlight of morning, cringing as he realized that he had been so wrapped up in the battle that he had forgotten to sleep. Casys returned Eon to his Ball, then walked back to Vermillion. He grabbed a room at one of the hotels, seeing as he may be staying there for another day or two, and tumbled onto the bed. Casys' eyes slowly closed, his subconscious mind taking over as he slipped into the world of dreams...
Casys was running, but to or from what he couldn't figure out. A fearsome roar sounded from ahead, and the boy stopped in his tracks. A Heracross stood in the center of the path, eyes glowing purple. "Apollo," Casys breathed before the Heracross leaped at his former trainer, a vicious gleam in it's eyes and a powerful attack in one hand...
Casys woke up in a cold sweat to the sound of his phone buzzing. "Hello?" He croaked as he answered the call. It was Misty. "Have you challenged Lt. Surge, yet?" Casys mentally groaned.
"No, not yet."
"Well, are you going to today?"
Cassy thought for a moment. He remembered seeing a poster for some kind of tournament aboard the S.S. Anne. "I think I'm gonna try the S.S. Anne tournament first, then the Gym battle unless I can get a chance before the tournament starts."
