"Where...am I?" the boy asked, opening his eyes. As he looked around he noticed he was not alone. He couldn't quite make it out, but it seemed as if there were white figures standing around. He and these figures were in what appeared to be a cave. Though it wasn't very bright, he could make out pillars of sorts which all featured a (somewhat crude) drawing of a Pokemon. But these weren't just any Pokemon these were the Pokemon of legends, the Pokemon that controlled the elements, life, death, and even time itself.

 

As he analyzed the pillars a bright light appeared in the middle, illuminating the entire cave. From this light appeared none other than Arcues, the Pokemon that was said to shape the world with it's 1,000 arms. "Greetings trainers." said the Alpha Pokemon. "I have called you all here for a mission. A mission that will decide the fate of your world." The boy nor any of the figures dared speak whither it be from fear or the sheer majesty of this Pokemon everyone stayed quiet. "You see, I have watched over this world since it's creation and along with the other legends have made sure the world stayed in balance. However it seems the others have had enough. They all wish to change the world in whatever way they see fit. Whither it be by flooding it, drying up the oceans, returning everything to it's natural state, or just destroying everything, they have stopped listening to me." he said. "This is why I need you." as Arceus said this both the ring around his waist, and the drawings on the pillars started to glow. "Each of these pillars contains the spirit of a legendary Pokemon. You all must choose one to follow and receive not only it's abilities but it's goal. If this world is to change then it must be through you. A battle between the legends would be catastrophic." 

 

It was then when the boy spoke up. "Arceus, why can't you just stop the other legendary Pokemon? Surely your stronger than all of them combined right?" Arcues looked at the boy named Leon. "That is true. However in order to prevent an imbalance in the world each legend is forbidden from interacting. Do any of you remember Magma and Aqua's attempts at changing the world's ecosystem? Or perhaps Plasma's attempts at reviving the dragons of Truth and Ideals? All nearly ended in disaster if not for the trainers that stepped in to protect the world and restore balance."

 

"With all this being said, the world can not stay the same forever. Seeing as it was thanks to brave trainers that the world was saved all those times I feel it only right that it be trainers to save it once more. However if those who chose the path of chaos and destruction win then there is nothing I can do about it for I am nearing my 1,000 year slumber once more." Once Arcues said this he started to fade. "Once you have made your choice you will be transported to a random location within either the Kanto or Johto regions. From there you must consult your chosen legend for advice." At this point Arceus was all but gone but the pictures grew brighter. "Remember to chose wisely." With those final words, Arcues was gone leaving the cave with only the pillars to light it.

 

"Well then, I suppose it's time to choose." Leon said as he walked closer to the pillars.

Cedric listened to the ancient Pokemon silently, not even thinking of ever interrupting the Alpha Pokemon. When the Pokemon had vanished, Cedric immediately set off, looking at each of the pillars carefully. Finally he found the one he was looking for, a pillar with a small fairy-like creature. Cedric completely understood what needed to be done, so he might as well pick the Pokemon most sacred to him. He put his hand up, hesitated for a moment, and placed his hand against the pillar. Is this what I'm supposed to do?

@, 

 

Comet had no idea where she was. Before her were white pillars, as well as white beings. These white beings appeared anthropomorphic. The setting appeared to be that of a cave. Before her was the stature of a white and gold pokemon. This pokemon was easily identified as Arceus, commonly known as the god of all pokemon. Even though this was certainly a bizarre scenario, Comet didn't question it. 

 

The pokemon then spoke. His voice exerted importance. Comet didn't pay much attention to the words, though she grasped the general idea of what the pokemon was saying. Some of the figures asked the creature questions, though Comet remained quiet. There wasn't a point in talking, was there? This was a dream, right? Whatever. She should at least do what the creature had asked.

 

Upon inspection of each pillar at least 10 times each, Comet had finally decided which pillar she would pick. Some of the pillars seemed to have ridiculous expectations. For example, succeeding in almost every challenge one faced? That was near impossible for a mere human. Some also lead to the path of chaos, which the great pokemon had abided against specifically. Since this was a dream, or so the girl believed, she should most definitely listen to Arceus. It's not like she wanted to follow an "evil" path anyway.

 

Comet eventually picked the pillar that she fancied the most. By the time she had, most of the figures had already picked. It didn't matter anyway. From the start, Comet more or less knew this pillar was the one for her. The word "truth" was inscribed on the pillar multiple times, and a drawing of a heavenly white pokemon. If the girl remembered her Unova lore correctly, this pokemon was Reshiram. 

 

"Now what?" Comet asked aloud, staring at the pillar, then laying a hand on it.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Silas stood in awe as Arceus vanished. Awe, not only of the incredible power before him, but of the destiny that seemed to have just been thrust upon him. Him, a champion? Could he live up to that?

 

One thing, however, he was certain of. He knew without a doubt which of the legends he would pick. After searching the pillars for a time, he stopped in front of one in particular. A bird, with wings that shone like a rainbow- wings that, years ago, he'd seen flying in the distance. Perhaps, looking back, that had been a sort of omen. Regardless, his choice was clear. He laid his hand on the pillar with a picture of Ho-oh.

[Vaporeon 1,168]

Leon looked over each pillar. Some of the offers were tempting, such as helping Zekrom build an ideal world or Giratina free all who were wrongly imprisoned. In the end however he decided to pick Mewtwo's pillar. "I see you've come to the right place human." Mewtwo said in a somewhat menacing yet calm voice. "So you want to advance the technology and way of life for all mortal beings?" Leon could only nod as he was very nervous. He had only heard about Mewtwo in rumors. He honestly thought it was a myth Team Rocket made up to make them seem tougher yet here he was choosing to be it's "follower". "It's only logical." the psychic Pokemon said. "If you are to join me then you must know that you are forbidden from spending too much time in nature unless it is for scientific purposes. Also you can not hord or excessively profit off of your inventions. You are to help man and Pokemon alike, something I could never do alone.

 

Cedric listened to the ancient Pokemon silently, not even thinking of ever interrupting the Alpha Pokemon. When the Pokemon had vanished, Cedric immediately set off, looking at each of the pillars carefully. Finally he found the one he was looking for, a pillar with a small fairy-like creature. Cedric completely understood what needed to be done, so he might as well pick the Pokemon most sacred to him. He put his hand up, hesitated for a moment, and placed his hand against the pillar. Is this what I'm supposed to do?

"Hi there." a small female voice said. "I see you want to join me and protect the forests right?" The voice seemed to be coming from the pillar and was indeed Celebi's. "Wait your Cedric aren't you? I've seen you visit Ilex Forest before, the Pokemon there seem to really like you." the grass pixie said cheerfully. "If you want to help me then there are a few things you gotta know. First of all you can't live in cities or towns anymore or at least not spend a lot of time in them. Oh and you gotta make sure you don't mess with the time stream, that thing's really sensitive." As she talked her pictured flickered with her words. "Got any questions before I go on?" she asked Cedric.

"Now what?" Comet asked aloud, staring at the pillar, then laying a hand on it.

"Greetings Comet." Reshiram said after Comet touched the pillar. "You have made a wise choice, picking the path of truth. Without truth there can be no trust. Without trust we have nothing." the pillar grew hot as Reshiram talked though it didn't bother Comet, in fact she barley noticed it. "If you are certain you want to go down this path then you must know that you must never lie again. It may seem hard at first but with time it will feel more natural." Reshiram hoped Comet was up for this. Not many people could stop even the tiniest of lies though the white dragon sensed something inside of Comet, something he had not felt sense that day in Plasma's Castle.

Once Silas laid his hand on the pillar a wise old voice spoke to him. "Greetings child. Are you ready to help me preserve the cycle of life?" the voice asked. The voice, of course, belonged to Ho-oh, the Rainbow Pokemon. "Hmm. You remind me of that trainer from New Bark. Tell me, do you truly wish to go down this path? It will not be easy. You must make sure no life ends before it's time while also remembering to never take one's life prematurely." the ancient bird explained. "But in the process you will help many and be rewarded for your good deeds."

"Yes, of course." Comet said, noticing her hands feeling funny. She wasn't exactly sure what the sensation was, but it didn't hurt, so it couldn't be bad.  "I am well aware of this, as it is inscribed in the pillar itself. I'll try my best to please you, Reshiram." Comet was fairly confident she could fulfill Reshiram's wishes. She had always been honest, as she found lies a waste of time. But again, it didn't matter. This was a dream, right? As the warm sensation spread throughout Stella's body, she began to doubt this idea more and more.

@,

 

Cedric smiled brightly at her recognition of him, his stark blue eyes twinkling slightly. Hearing the voice of the Pokemon he was most fond of... It made his heart feel warm. He nodded eagerly at all she had to say. "Yes of course! I'm used to quiet places, and I practically lived in the Ilex. And you have my word for the time thing. No way I'd mess with that. And I think I understand everything. No questions here!" Cedric just couldn't stop smiling. He was going to help the kinds of places he liked most with a Pokemon he had always felt close to? What could be better than this?

 

Revvy looked around for a long time, looking looking looking. He looked at the statue of the Unwhole. He turned his head and walked away, looking for something else he connected to. He felt a connection near the Celebi statue, but it felt close to the ethereal figure in front of it rather than the pillar itself. Finally, he found himself, for about the fifth time, looking at the statue of the Pokemon known as Kyurem. The things that were offered, they seemed so tempting. He would be able to know things, even take objects from people after he took their knowledge. He wouldn't have to live badly anymore. At least Cedric had the forest Pokemon... But now I could have everything if I try hard enough... With a hint of guilt in his decision, mostly because of how his brother would feel if he found out, Revvy placed his hand on the cold statue of the Unwhole One.

@, 

 

Mason stood by quietly as Arceus spoke, shrinking back slightly as though to try and avoid the great legend's detection.  A foolish effort, of course - if Arceus had brought him here, then it was stupid to try and stay out of his sight.  Standing quietly as others asked their questions and went towards the pillars, he sighs quietly before looking to the pillar nearest him.

 

It only had one word on it - SUFFERING.  The image above the word depicted the legend of nightmares, Darkrai.  Mason smirks from behind his scarf; even in this dreamlike world, he was still wearing it.  Perfect...  Glancing around to the other ethereal figures going to other pillars, Mason nods and pulls the black glove off of his left hand.  Rolling up the sleeve of his trench coat, the boy presses a tattooed hand to the pillar.

 

This world could go for a little suffering...  Let the others rush to play the hero.  I'll leave my mark either way.  Shutting his eyes as his palm touches the pillar, Mason starts to laugh quietly to himself.  The legendaries could fight for control all they wanted; he planned to go down in history no matter who won this little war.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@, 

 

Silas nodded solemnly. "Yes, I understand, and I consider it an honor to be offered the chance to do such a thing. To end the life of another prematurely is a terrible thing which causes great suffering. I'll do all that I can to prevent it from happening to anyone or anything. All life is sacred, and while I realize it won't always be easy, I wish to devote my life to protecting the natural cycle."

 

He wasn't entirely sure how much he could really do, but he was willing to give everything he had to this cause. He just hoped it would be enough to really make a difference.

[Descant 1,897]

Both the redheads looked at each other, and then split up to examine the pillars. As far as they could tell, they were the only ones there. Other than Arceus, of course, but they were fairly sure he was just part of a strange dream. Perhaps they were not surprised at being able to see each other; their identities were so densely wrapped around each other that they often shared dreams.

 

"Hey, Renee, come over here." The young man's voice rang from across the room, in soft excitement. His sister approached, and together they gazed upon a pillar with a curious symbol etched on it. "They look familiar, don't they?" "Aren't those Latios and Latias? Like from the stories Mom used to tell us?"  "Yeah. We were supposed to pick, so why not pick the pair of our favorite legend?" It almost resembled Yin Yang, the way the two dragons were circling each other. After confirmation from his twin, Taylor pressed his palm to the pillar, followed an instant later by Renee's.

[Sekel 692]

Sekel had herad of the great God pokemon Arceus, but he had never thought to see it in a dream. After listening to the pokemon speak, Sekel felt like he could move again. He pulled his scarf over his mouth and wandered around each pillar.

 

Seeing that the pillars depicted crude drawings of legendaries, Sekel wondered what all the trainers were doing here. Of course, he had listened to Arceus's explanation but now to actually choose a Legendary to follow seemed a bit out of place. Finally stopping in front of a pillar that depicted Giratina, he read the word FREEDOM multiple times over it's surface. It was said that the fearsome poke on could travel between dimesnions. Intrigued, he placed his right hand upon the surface and waited to see what would happen.

"Yes, of course." Comet said, noticing her hands feeling funny.

This was a dream, right? As the warm sensation spread throughout Stella's body, she began to doubt this idea more and more.

"Very well then." Reshiram said, happy to hear Comet's answer. "I'm sure you have been feeling a warm sensation in your hand yes?" Reshiram started. "Hold still, it is about to get stronger." As Reshiram said this the tingling turned into a burning feeling. This would be excruciating for any other person but Comet, was not phased. Rather the heat felt good, natural even. When the burning stopped Reshiram spoke again. "In order to combat those who may want to extinguish your fire I have given you the power to see though any lie or deceit. Not only that but you can also burn anyone who you suspect is lying. For now this fire can be put out with water but with enough favor it will go out only by your will or if the lier tells the truth." Just as Reshiram was about to stop he remembered something.

"Ah, and one more thing." the dragon continued. "I pray that you never need this ability but if for whatever reason your opponent is too strong you may combine with a follower of Zekrom or Kyurem to achieve nearly limitless power." Reshiram's voice grew somewhat grim as he started his next statement. "However I must warn you that this has never been done successfully. Each time the two disciples tried to fuse they failed and died shortly after due to their minds being too different. Should you decide to use this ability you must be absolutely certain that you are in sync with your partner." Once Reshiram said this the light on his pillar started to fade. "I have told you all you need to know. If you ever need my help while on your mission just think and we will be in contact." With this, Comet started to fade away herself. "When you wake up you will be in Johto along with you two Pokemon. Farewell seeker of truth." 

[Wow that was kinda long. Sorry Firebolt.  ]

 

Cedric smiled brightly at her recognition of him, his stark blue eyes twinkling slightly. Hearing the voice of the Pokemon he was most fond of... It made his heart feel warm. He nodded eagerly at all she had to say. "Yes of course! I'm used to quiet places, and I practically lived in the Ilex. And you have my word for the time thing. No way I'd mess with that.

What could be better than this?

"He-hee, I like you." Celebi said giggling. "Now lets get to the fun stuff." she said with excitement. "First off you can travel though time for a couple seconds but this will get stronger if you do you job right." she says. "Also you can control any plant life and call upon wild Pokemon to help you, though they won't always listen. At least until you gain more favor." After she says this Cedric starts to fade. "Remember to watch out for people that follow Pokemon like Mewtwo and Genesect, those guys are real jerks. When you wake up you'll be in Ilex Forest along with your Pokemon." As Cedric faded more and more Celebi quickly said "Alright that's everything. Good luck! Bye!"

"Do you too desire more?" A deep yet empty voice called out. "As you may know I am the Unwhole One. The shell left behind when the dragons of truth and ideals split. I am...Kyurem." The pillar got colder as he spoke. "Under my guidance you will have the ability to consume anything you desire in an attempt to become whole again. You may also freeze anyone who opposes you. As time goes on, your ice will be so strong that not even the flames of Reshiram himself will be able to melt it." As he said this Revvy, along with the other figures, started to fade. "You can also fuse with followers of Reshiram and Zekrom much like I can. However if you are not in perfect sync the combine will fail and result in death for both parties." Kyurem said grimly. "Should you ever need to contact me, I will be with you at all times. When you awaken you will be near a follower of Reshiram. Consume all you can from her as she will make you the most whole as will followers of Zekrom."

((School starts soonish so if I make a post then, it'll probably be pretty short. )

 

Comet's hands begun to burn, as the tingling feeling that was there before spread through her whole body. "Understood. But, for this I am a bit confused, am I expected to kill people?" When Comet asked these last words, she was already in some random location in Johto. And instead of asking Reshiram, she was talking to a green snake and some squishy green pokemon. Comet groaned, and got up, dusting herself off. "That didn't feel like a dream... I wonder if it was..." She pondered aloud, as the two pokemon looked at her like she was crazy.

@N-Harmonia,

 

Jake looked around and realized he must make his decision soon, the others had picked some great pokemon, all he would have chosen in a heartbeat. He looked at the remaining pillars and saw one that seemed to call to him. He then heard a whisper from the pillar made of sandstone, which seemed brighter than the rest. 

 

"I see I have caught your eye; join me then and I will show you the power of the earth and the sun"

 

Almost in a trance Jake made his way to the pillar and after the first touch felt the ground tremble below him and he had knew he had made the right choice in Groudon.

(I couldn't post this last night due to the power going out , so here is the post in all its glory)

 

Gear couldn't believe his eyes, or his ears. According to the pokemon that spoke to everyone in the room that he and everyone in the room had to choose. I thought I would chose a pokemon that i've heard of all of my life. I saw a image of two familiar figures. He turned around and saw me sister she had the same idea I had so we put our hands on at the same time.

"Ah, so you have decided to cause others to suffer." Darkrai said in a grim voice. "You should know, the others will not take kindly to you. You will be seen as evil and some will stop at nothing to defeat you." Darkrai warned. "But should you still decide to follow me then you will have the power to create living nightmares. Not only that but you may hide in any shadow you please or trap foes in a dark void, fainting them and draining their energy." the shadow Pokemon said. "There is no punishment for disobeying me, just know that my other followers may attack you and label you as a traitor. From their you must choose your own path for I can not interfere with that." Just then Mason started to fade away like then others. "You will be in Kanto when you awake. Go to the nearest town and test your new powers. Try no to draw too much attention to yourself though." With Darkrai's final orders given Mason completely faded and found himself in the middle of Route 8. Whither he went to Celadon or Saffron City was up to him.

 

 

 

Silas nodded solemnly. "Yes, I understand, and I consider it an honor to be offered the chance to do such a thing.

He just hoped it would be enough to really make a difference.

"Very good child." Ho-oh said pleased. "Do not doubt yourself, you will make a fine follower. We are running out of time so I must speak quick." he said as Silas started to fade. "You will have the ability to bend fire to your will. You may also heal any wound and even bring the dead back to life so long as 24 hours have not passed since their death. However if you decide to do this you must use another's life in exchange, someone from your immediate area." Ho-oh's voice sped up as Silas faded faster. "Finally, you may transform yourself into a smaller form of myself, gaining all of my abilities including restoring lives without sacrificing another. Once the transformation ends you will become an egg which will hatch within a week. As such you should use this ability only in the most dire of situations." Ho-oh said. "I will send you to Lavender Town. It seems Yveltal is sending his disciples there as well though for what reason I do not know." With those words Silas woke up like the others. He was indeed in Lavender Town along with his Pokemon. "Ah, your awake." an elderly voice said. "I was starting to get worried. You don't usually find people randomly asleep in the middle of Route 7." The man said with a smile. It seemed like Silas was in some sort of house yet it had stalls, each with a couple Pokemon inside. "I am Mr. Fuji, may I ask your name?" the kind old man asked.

Gear couldn't believe his eyes, or his ears. According to the pokemon that spoke to everyone in the room that he and everyone in the room had to choose. I thought I would chose a pokemon that i've heard of all of my life. I saw a image of two familiar figures. He turned around and saw me sister she had the same idea I had so we put our hands on at the same time.

"Oh new followers?" an energetic female voice said. "You guys all want to help me and my brother do ya?" The voice said, really happy about the whole thing. "Calm down Latias." another voice said though his one was clearly male. "I apologize from my sister, she can get a bit too excited." the male voice said. "Now then, you probably know of us already. We are Latios and Latias of the Eon duo. By choosing us you will have to spread love and peace throughout the world. You will also get a partner, though looking at you now it seems you've already found them." Latios said to both pairs. "Let me talk!" Latias said annoyed. "Alright so if you follow us you get the power to sense emotion and make anyone feel happy. You can also understand any language, communicate telepathically with your partner and have the ability to fly if your male or run really really fast if your female. Neat right? Oh and you can do both if your near your partner" When Latias stopped both pairs started to fade. "You need to remember that you can not act in a way that would hurt others and must act in secret. Remember to protect you partner above all else." Before the duos faded completely Latios said this; "Good luck. My sister and I will be able to communicate with you at any time." When Renee and Taylor awoke they were in Kanto while Gear and Longshot were in Johto.

 

 

 

Sekel had herad of the great God pokemon Arceus, but he had never thought to see it in a dream. After listening to the pokemon speak, Sekel felt like he could move again. He pulled his scarf over his mouth and wandered around each pillar. Seeing that the pillars depicted crude drawings of legendaries, Sekel wondered what all the trainers were doing here. Of course, he had listened to Arceus's explanation but now to actually choose a Legendary to follow seemed a bit out of place. Finally stopping in front of a pillar that depicted Giratina, he read the word FREEDOM multiple times over it's surface. It was said that the fearsome poke on could travel between dimesnions. Intrigued, he placed his right hand upon the surface and waited to see what would happen.

"You have made a wise decision human." Giratina said in a distorted voice. "Like me there are those who were unjustly imprisoned. While I have come to embrace my exile, others do not." The dragon said. "It is for this reason that you must free those people. In order to do this I will give you the power to travel to the Distortion World at will. This will allow you to travel anywhere in the world within minutes." Giratina explained. "You may also open any door or lock and render them useless. Finally you can fire antimatter at your foes, breaking down their very being." he said. "The one rule you must follow is to never restrain someone against their will and never turn down a cry for help." At this point Sekel started to fade like the others. "You will awaken in the Runes of Alph in Johto. Your first mission will become clear to you soon." Sekell then awoke, a few Unown floating near him, analyzing him curiously.

 

 

"So how do you expect me to do all this?" Leon asked Mewtwo. "I will give you psychic powers similar to my own. For now they are weak but as you use them more they will grow stronger and you will learn new abilities." Mewtwo explained. "You can also sense other disciples no matter who they follow and your IQ will be raised to that of a genius." As Leon started to wake up Mewtwo finished his instructions. "You will find yourself in Saffron City. There is something in the Silph Co. building you will need. Do whatever you can to get it." With those final words Leon woke up in Saffron just as Mewtwo had said. His Porygon2 had just finished poking him though how it even got here was a mystery to Leon.

Cain retracted himself from his state of shock, he could see the other milky white beings approaching the pillars, assuming these were others who had been "chosen," he was content with letting them chase their desires first.

 

He was a very cold and perhaps slightly twisted man, unthinking for individual lives, the ends would always justify the means. He studies the other figures carefully, believing that me may be able to discern something from them, but to no avail.

 

Finally, it was time to approach his destiny. "These fools are blind," he spoke confidently as he searched for the one Legendary Pokemon he was most familiar with, a black, red and winged avian of untold power. "All who believe in their perfections are blind to the end, all things die, all things decay." 

 

At last, he had found his choice, "Yveltal..." He let the word slip through both his mind and body before placing his right hand on the pillar.

Rin

Rin watched quietly as everything happened in front of her, seemingly unconcerned with the unfolding events. Why should she be - it was a dream after all, right? But, as others began moving towards pillars and slowly fading away, she started to develop the feeling of not wanting to be left out...

Quickly running through the pillars, Rin stops abruptly and places her hand on the pillar of Deoxys. In all honesty she was picking at random, not wanting to be left out of whatever else was going to happen in this strange dream. So what better to do than pick a legendary that she recognized!? She sure wasn't going to go with Groudon or Kyogre - after the events between Team Magma and Team Aqua shook Hoenn, she wasn't all that eager to help either of them. "Deoxys, huh? Cool..."

"He-hee, I like you." Celebi said giggling. "Now lets get to the fun stuff." she said with excitement. "First off you can travel though time for a couple seconds but this will get stronger if you do you job right." she says. "Also you can control any plant life and call upon wild Pokemon to help you, though they won't always listen. At least until you gain more favor." After she says this Cedric starts to fade. "Remember to watch out for people that follow Pokemon like Mewtwo and Genesect, those guys are real jerks. When you wake up you'll be in Ilex Forest along with your Pokemon." As Cedric faded more and more Celebi quickly said "Alright that's everything. Good luck! Bye!"

 

Cedric gave one last final smile before completely disappearing. He quickly opened his eyes, and found himself standing in front of Celebi's shrine in the Ilex Forest. His Whimsicott and Leafeon sitting down next to him, looking up with slightly worried looks on their faces. Was... Was that a dream? Was I dreaming? Did I sleepwalk or something. No... I feel different... I wonder... Cedric knelt down and touched his fingertip to a blade of grass. With a small amount of effort, the grass began to grow until it was taller than his Leafeon, who proceeded to jump back away from the thing. "Definitely not a dream," he muttered. HE stood back up and looked down at himself. He was wearing his usual clothes, nice but not incredibly fancy. He touched his long brown hair, pulling it in front of his face to make sure everything was right. He then let it drop back in the ponytail it was in. He felt the scruffyness on his chin and took another look at his Pokemon. "This isn't a dream either... I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now..." 

[Sekel 692]

Sekel took a breath. One minute he was standing in front of Giratina's pillar, and the next he was waking up in the Runes of Alph. He tried to wave away the Unown that were looking at him curiously but it didn't work. He checked if everything was in their right place. Clothee, check. Head, check. Arms, check. Legs, check. Pokemon, check.

 

Sekel breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that Giratina had said he could travel to the Distortion World, unlock any door but render the lock useless and use something called antimatter. Curious about the antimatter ability, he walked to a patch of grass and rested his palm upon it. Sekel barely concentrated and the grass dissolved into nothing. His only reaction to that were his eyes growing bigger. 'That could be useful.' Sekel thought to himself. "Now what am I meant to do?" The Unown continued to look at him quizically.

@,

 

Silas groaned and shook his head, clearing it of the last vestiges of sleep. "Silas. My name is Silas Webster. Thanks for looking after me. You said you found me in route seven? Is that near Lavender Town? I think was supposed to be heading there for something."

 

He decided it was probably best not to mention the dream he'd just had, or this guy might think he was crazy. Well, crazier than he already must have seemed having been found sleeping in the middle of the road.

@,@,

 

Revvy had been about to ask the dragon something, but suddenly he was landing on the ground with a thud and a sharp exhale. He quickly stood up, glad to see Dragonair and Skrelp there with him. He looked around for a moment and saw a girl standing somewhat close to him, about northeast of where he was. This must be the Reshiram follower. Now let's figure out how this consume thing works. Sorry lass... Revvy ran headlong into Comet, tackling her to the ground. Quickly, he placed his hand on her head. Maybe it just comes right out of her like this?

@@Ampharos, 

 

"Well, I suppose we best get going in any which way. Duosion, you return. Serperior, you may stay out. Just incase an enemy lurks around the nearest corner." Comet said, summoning her Duosion back to it's pokeball. Duosion groaned as it was returned. After all, Serperior was almost always favored over the Duosion. "Alright now, Serperior, I wish of you to be on your guard and best behav-"

 

Before Comet could complete her command to the serpent, she was tackled to the ground by some man. Well, calling him a man would be generous. He was much more of a boy than a man. The boy that had tackled her then placed a hand on her head. Odd. Comet attempted to push the boy away, but to no avail, as she was quite weak. Reshiram hadn't really granted her any powers she could use in this circumstance either. "Serperior, be a dear, please, and use wrap." Comet commanded the somewhat startled pokemon, who then attempted to pry loose the boy using her tail. Both seemed to treat this like a daily occurrence.

"Dragonair!" The blue Pokemon acted immediately, smashing into the green snake with Slam. Revvy continued holding his hand throughout the struggle and suddenly felt a rush. He felt a pain splitting headache as a picture of a little girl playing with a Snivy flashed in his mind, as well as a picture of the girl he could see now, beating what looked like a worthy opponent with the Serperior. The headache grew increasingly worse, and he finally jumped off the girl with a shriek. He backed away quickly and forced Skrelp, who wasn't planning on doing anything really, to stand in front of him in case the girl decided to retaliate. "Gah! Son of a- Nothing useful! Just stupid sentimental memories. Guess that definitely wasn't a dream. I'm thinking out loud aren't I? Sorry bout that lass. Had to see if I could get anything useful outta ya." 

[Leafeon 2,702]

@@Ampharos,

 

Serperior was knocked away from the two with a loud thud. She hissed at the Dragonair and begun to attack it with Leaf Blade, though none of Serperior's attack made contact. Not that it would be very effective anyway. Before long, the boy had jumped off of Comet and shrieked, leaving Comet to casually get up and brush herself off. "Serperior! Stop your useless attacking. It's simply barbaric." Comet commanded the snake. Serperior hissed once more at the Dragonair before returning to Comet. The serpent then coiled around Comet, protecting her from any other possible attacks. She also used her tail to cover Comet's mouth, like a fan.

 

Now, Comet would have normally simply announced the boy as a pervert and be on her way. However, Reshiram had commanded her to expose the truth, right? Even if it was a dream, she might as well humour Reshiram. Plus, this was somewhat odd. "Get something useful "outta" me?" Comet asked, with a mocking accent to her voice. "May I ask what you mean by that?"
