The lavender purple colored crystal stood before them and it was starting to crack at the bottom. Scarlet said, "Does she have a name?" Zeraora replied, "Yes, her name is Princess Luna." Everyone had never heard of her, but then the crystal started to glow. Then legendary and mythical pokemon from many other regions came to see the return of Princess Luna. Among them was Arceus the alpha pokemon. Everyone ran to a safe spot to shelter themselves. The crystal continued to crack from the ground up. Then the crystal broke apart and a beam of light shot into the sky. When the light disappeared and the lunar eclipse ended, Princess Luna was lying on the ground seemingly motionless. Arceus thought in its head, Of course, Luna has been sealed away for years. She may not have any strength the sustain herself. Everyone believed that Luna was no longer alive, but then out of nowhere a creature flew into the temple. It landed next to Luna and its horn glowed. A yellow aura flowed around its horn. Then a green aura surrounded Luna and she began to move. The creature transformed into a human and everyone was shocked. Ash and the others gathered around and watched as Luna began to get up.
When Luna got up, she opened her eyes revealing them to be a beautiful teal color. She saw the girl next to her, but her gaze quickly fixed on Ash and his friends. The girl supporting Luna saw where she was looking and she said, "Get away! All of you!" Then Luna calmly replied, "Relax sister. They're not here to hurt us." Luna walked forward and stopped in front of Ash and his friends. Ash and Scarlet could feel her power and strength. Luna looked into to the eyes of Ash and Scarlet and saw their past. She saw the day Ash was kidnapped by Team Nova. She also saw the day Scarlet was kidnapped and the fact that Ash was suffering constant nightmares from a poison that spilled on him. Luna spoke, "You two have gone through so much. Yet your bond is strong." Ash nodded and Scarlet commented, "I'm Scarlet and he's my brother Ash. And yes we have been through a lot." Luna continued, "So you're the scarlet phoenix and you're a direct descendant of Sir Aaron." Ash and Scarlet nodded. Luna added, "Well it's nice to finally meet you two." Then everyone introduced themselves and Luna introduced her sister Celestia. Then Luna turned back to Ash and she asked, "So you're having a nightmare problem right?" Ash answered, "Yeah, I am." Serena questioned, "Do you think you can get rid of them?" Luna contended, "Of course I can. I am the Princess of the night after all. But here's the thing, I don't get rid of the nightmares I just simply transform them into good dreams. While the dream itself isn't real, the feelings in the dream are." Ash and the others became confused by what Luna meant by her statement.
Luna said, "Let's see what we can do about these nightmares." Grace replied, "We've set up tents for everyone to sleep in. Also I've provided sleeping bags." Celestia suggested, "All of you better get some sleep." Everyone went to sleep, but Luna stayed awake. She transformed into the same creature Celestia turned into. She began casting a spell that allowed her to enter the dream realm. Her horn had a blue aura flowing around it. Luna entered the dream realm and Ash began having a nightmare. Ash saw members of Team Nova surrounding him. Their pokemon launched attacks that hit him directly and he was severely injured. They were about to attack again, but Luna intervened. Ash couldn't believe his eyes. Luna cast a powerful spell and the Team Nova admins and grunts disappeared. Then Luna cast another spell which transformed the nightmare into a good dream. Ash asked, "Luna is that you? What are you? How did you do that?" Luna laughed, "One question at a time Ash. Yes it's me and this is my alicorn form. An alicorn is a unicorn with the wings of a pegasus. And it's just easy spells. I've been fighting nightmares much worse than yours. You're lucky that the antidote actually helped you." Ash questioned, "So you changed my nightmare to a calm dream using a magic spell? Why is it that easy to get rid of a nightmare?" Luna answered, "Dreams are driven by emotions. Whatever you are feeling will show up in your dreams in many different forms. Nightmares are driven by one emotion which is fear. The more fear you have the worse the nightmare gets. To rid yourself of the nightmare, you must let go of the fear that is causing it. I'm only here to push you in the right direction. It's you who must rid yourself of the fear. Ash began to understand what Luna meant. His fear was causing his nightmare. And if he wanted to get rid of the nightmare he had to let go of his fear. Luna suggested, "Let's go see your friends." Ash looked up at her and she began casting a spell which created a shared dream.
Scarlet, Serena, Gary, and everyone else, except Grace, found themselves wandering in different parts of the shared dream. Then they found themselves meeting each other together as they neared the heart of the dream. Barry said, "Okay what's going on here? Why is everyone here? I'm gonna fine the person behind this." The Celestia chuckled, "You're going to fine my sister?" Everyone turned to her and Scarlet asked, "You mean Luna is doing this?" Celestia replied, "Yes. Luna has the ability to create shared dreams. It seems that she's called all of you to help her quell the fear causing Ash's nightmares." Serena questioned, "Wait fear? You mean Ash is afraid of something? That's not like him." Gary concurred, "Yeah Ash isn't afraid of anything. Why would he be full of fear when there's nothing he should be afraid of?" Celestia answered, "Luna will answer that question, but I looked at Ash and I saw fear in his heart. So that means he is afraid of something, but what he's afraid of will be revealed by Luna herself. To find her, we must enter the heart of this dream. Ash will be with her." Everyone nodded and walked towards the heart of the dream.
Ash and Luna appeared in the dream. Everyone came over to them. Serena hugged Ash and he was taken by surprise. Celestia discussed something Luna and she turned to them. Everyone looked at Luna whom was in a different form. Luna said, "I'm sure you all are aware that I've called you here to help quell Ash's fear." Gary replied, "Yeah we are aware of why you called us, but what I don't understand is why is Ash afraid and what is it that he's so afraid of." Luna responded, "Past traumas are the hardest to let go of." Everyone stared shocked at what Luna said and they watched as she cast a spell show what Ash was afraid of. Scarlet walked up to Luna and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Luna explained, "Both you and Ash have gone through so much. The traumatic memories stay in our hearts because of the feelings we feel when exposed to trauma. Even if we erase these memories from our minds, our hearts still remember the feelings we felt during the traumatic experience. So these feelings makes it hard to let go of these past traumas." Serena questioned, "Is that Team Nova?" Luna answered, "Yes this is Team Nova, but not in the flesh. Or in other words, there not really here." Dawn inquired, "Does that mean that Ash is afraid of Team Nova?" Luna reassured, "Yes he is afraid of them, but it's not them that's causing fear to seep into Ash's dreams. It's their actions from the past that he's allowing to seep into his dreams." Gary argued, "But we defeated Team Nova, so he doesn't need to be afraid of them anymore right?" Luna concurred, "Yes you did defeat Team Nova, but you're not seeing the bigger picture. Ash never let go of the feelings he felt the day they crossed paths." Luna looked over at Ash and saw he had an expression on his that showed her that she was right. Serena embraced him trying to comfort him. Luna stated in order for you to understand let us visit the past and see what happened."
Luna began creating a vision from the past just in one dream and as she did so Scarlet and Ash began preparing for what they were going to see. They were ready to dive into their past. And they were ready to face the fears in their hearts.
