Erika soon had fallen asleep as the ship set sail. She slept peacefully, blocking out all the sounds around her a she dreamed. She wasn't having any sleep thesepast couple of days, nor today on the boat. the rocking of the ship against the waves kept her awake, and feeling sick. Several times, she ran to the bathroom to throw up. She realized she was getting sea sick.

After a while, she soon drifted off to sleep. She was having another dream, well, nightmare. this time, she was in that same world again, filled with the Pokemon. The guy in the dark cape was there, standing in front of her, with Teresa and her brother, Erick. They all had a creepy smile on their face, and then the guy in the dark cape revealed himself, and she gasped. The person in the dark cape was Sam, and he pointed at her and spoke in a strange tongue to Teresa and Erick. Then the two attacked her, pushing her to the ground and holding her there, and Sam walked over, and grabbed the key off her necklace. "I'll kill her later. Let's torture her for now, until i'm fully satisfied." Sam had said, and disappeared into the ground in a shadow.

Erika woke up in a cold sweat. She panted heavily, and the hugged her knees to her chest. "That was a dream, right? It felt so real. What's going on?" she asked herself in a whisper. She sighed then. "these dreams, they mean something. Do they tell the future?" She let her feet hang off the bed, and she stood up, stretching a bit. "I wonder if I should sneak around, and catch them in the act?" She then walked to the door, but stopped as she heard a muffling sound. She froze, hand halfway to the door knob.

The muffling sound became louder. It was nearby. She turned around, looking around, seeing no where the sound could come from. "Hello?" She asked softly. She slowly started to walk to the center of her room. "Is anyone there?"

the sound made her jump again, and she looked at the closet. She slowly walked over, hand shaking a she reached out to the door knob to the closet. She gripped it, and opened it up wide, and screamed when she saw a body fall to the ground. The body was making that muffling sound, she realized, and then gasped. she recognized the outfit. It was Sam's clothes that he was wearing yesterday.

"Sam!" she cried, and bet down to him. she touched the back of his neck, and he was cold. she gasped again. Is he dead?! She then jumped again when he made a muffling sound. She bent down and turned him over. His eyes met hers, and she started to let a few tears escape. They fell on Sam's cheeks. "Sam, I was scared. I thought I lost you!"

Sam muffled again. He was trying to get her attention. Erika looked up at him, and then asked. "Are you frozen?" He blinked twice. "Ok, hold on. Blink twice if yes, and blink once if no. Are you frozen?"

He blinked twice. "Is it Teresa's fault?" He blinked twice again. "I'm sorry, Sam, for not believing in you before. I'm starting to realize that Teresa is acting weird, and is behind it now." He blinked twice again. "I saw Erick." His eyes went wide. "He's not himself. It's like, it's him, and yet it's not. I think something is controlling him, making him this way. I'm scared." He blinked twice again in agreement.

Suddenly, the door to the door was forced open wide. Teresa and Erick was there. they both were smiling. "I figured you found him when heard you scream." Teresa said.

Erika stood up then, in front of Sam. She was furious, hands balled into fists. "What did you do to Sam?!"

Erick stepped up to her. "He's frozen. Our boss's host body is dieing and needs someone younger, like him."

"So, you're just going to make some sick spirit type thing take control of him?!" Erika shouted at him. "Erick, snap out of it! This isn't who you are!"

"Actually, your brother isn't here. He's locked away inside of his own head, controlled by me." Erick laughed.

Erika then took a step forward, and landed a punch in his face when he wasn't ready. surprised, he stumbled back a bit, then growled. He lunged forward, grabbing her wrists, and twisting them behind her back, making her gasp in pain as she fell to her knees. Sam muffled angrily at them, telling them to stop.

"Good news, Erika!" Teresa said with a big smile. "We're here, at Sootopolis!"

Erick tightened his grip on Erika's wrists, making her cry in pain again.

"Come on, Erick. Grab her, and I'll take our new boss." Teresa walked over to Sam's frozen body. The sticker was still on his head, and it was looking faint now. It looked like it was starting to dissolve into his skin, becoming one with him. "Excellent! Now, hide inside your own mind while I take you to our master." She picked Sam's frozen body. She was quite strong for a little girl. Sam was started to close his eyes, and the muffling came to a stop. He was loosing consciousness.

"No! Sam!" Erika cried.

"Shut up!" Erick said, making her stand up, and forcing her to walk. His grip loosened a bit. He didn't want to hurt her anymore than he wanted to, because their master wanted her back alive.

When Erika got out of the room, she noticed the crisp, blue air, and then a large cavern that opened up to a dead end. Erick picked her up, and jumped to the ground there. He then put her down, and held her still. "It's a dead end, smart one." Erika remarked, looking around the cavern.

"That's where you're wrong." Teresa replied, walking up to a wall, where she pulled out a loose stone, and then the cave wall opened up, to reveal an elevator. Teresa dragged Sam's body into the elevator, and his body became unfrozen as it sprawled across the floor. "Bring her in here, Erick."

Erick then decided to pick her up, but Erika had other plans. she wasn't going to that elevator. She quickly lifted her foot up behind her, striking Erick in the groin. He gasped in pain, and let go of her. She took off, founding a small hole big enough for her to squeeze through. Teresa growled, and ran after her. She was a little ways behind. Erika ran down the long hallway like cave she found, gaining distance between her and Teresa. She noticed several stone tablets, like the ones she saw in that book back at Patrick's house. he came upon the last one, noticing a key hole. The book said that a key was needed to unlock it. She then put a hand to her necklace with he key to it, and she ripped it off.

"Don't you dare!" Teresa shouted, a little ways off.

Erika put the key into the key hole, and turned it, she closed her eyes, hoping something would happen to help her get out of this mess and save Sam. Instead, she took the key out, and then noticed that the cave started to disappear. All around her became a bright, blue and pink sky, and her floating in mid air. she turned around, seeing the image of Teresa fading away, and then she was falling. Falling fast to the ground, screaming the whole way down.

she hit something hard. she couldn't tell what, until she opened her eyes and saw water all around her. she gasped in pain from the force of her falling, and couldn't tell which way was up or down. She then felt something nudging her back, and pushing her up. She looked down to see what it was, and it was a Wailmer, well, a couple of Wailmer. Wailmer! The Pokemon Wailmer?!

She surfaced, and she coughed a bit, swimming to the shore, and climed out.She sat up, seeing the wailer behind her. Then she looked all around her. she gasped. this was just like her dream. It was so like her dream, to the exact detail. the sky was always blue and pink colored, and there several pieces of floating land connected by bridges. And, the one thing that took her breath away. Pokemon were all over the place. She could see all kinds of Pokemon here and there.

But inside, she felt alone. Because Sam wasn't there. In the distance, she saw a castle. She there was a pod going down into it. she thought that it was the elevator that held Sam's body. He was inside that castle, and she had to rescue him.
