This is one of the last chapters. Enjoy it!
I woke up. My head jerking up, making my neck pop in multiple places. When I saw what was around me, I was shocked. I was in a small room, an old English style fireplace nearby. My bed was comfortable.
But something wasn't right.
I walked up and opened the door. When I got to the other side, I was in a hallway. When I went to the left, as if on instinct, I got into a bathroom. It was somewhat humble. I looked to the mirror, only to get a surprise that would haunt me.
I wasn't a pokemorph anymore.
I was human.
I quickly scurried over to my room, instantly looking through the bookcase. I found multiple things that disturbed me.
There was a picture of me, a woman, a man, and a big brother. I then found a newspaper. The newspaper had what looked to be a shooting. It was evidently by some group named I.L.L.
But what shocked me the most was that I was in it.
And that this "Big brother" was in the shooting.
I shook my head, constantly saying the same four words.
"Oh please no, Arceus," I stammered, over and over.
I started panicking, "memories" coming into my head.
"NO!" I yelled. I dashed out of the house, somehow knowing the thing like the back of my hand. When I got far enough, I "remebered" I had a weapon of some sort on me. When I looked into my pocket, I found what looked to be a scope. I pulled it out, the pocket holding the impossible size of my AS50.
I grinned slightly at the sight. I then heard the police. I dashed into a nearby bush and concealed myself. I watched with vile as the car went around the block and then started going elsewhere. I then dashed to the forest. Somehow, I spotted a nearby cottage. It looked almost the same as the one I had lived in. I opened the door, everyone seeming to be asleep.
"Alright, I think I know what I'm going to do," I muttered to myself. I climbed up the stairs, going to "my" room.
I slowly unlocked it, and spotted "me" in "my" bed. I was disgusted. I dragged "myself" out of the house, and then slapped "myself".
"Hey! What the hec-" "I" said before I slapped "myself".
These darn logic paradoxes were playing on my mind. So, I decided to call him something else.
"Hello, 'Snake'," I said to him.
"And who the hell are you?" Snake asked.
"I'm you," I said simply. He gave me an expression of bewilderment.
"I gave up all my daemons to Giritina!" Snake yelled.
"I'm not a daemon. I'm a nightmare," I stated simply.
"Then I can kill you," Snake snarled.
"Kill? Oh I thought 'I' was better," I groaned.
I dodged the clumsy punch that Snake threw at me. I then took out my AS50, and took a shot. I didn't care what my "Friends" would say.
Snake didn't dodge the shot, as it dug into his arm.
I walked up to him.
"Now tell me how to get back to my world," I snarled.
"I can't do it, I gave up the power," Snake panted angrily.
"Ty, you need help?" I heard someone say behind him.
To say I was surprised to see who this version of me had become friends with was an understatement.
Behind Snake was a whole barrage of skeletons, each one my former friends. He also had Blaze, and Paradox behind him, each one having a ghostly red glow come from their eyes.
"Screw you, Snake," I said, biting back my tears.
I fired a shot, the bullet making four of my "friends" crumble. I then felt a hand on my head.
When I looked up, I saw Phalix there. He had nothing in his hands, just his very fists were there. When he patted me, I started to feel strange. I breathed in, only to feel my normal body weight come back to me. I patted myself down, only to feel my normal fur. I silently whooped, making Snake become confused.
He then let out a mad cackle.
"So, you escaped my illusion, SO WHAT?!" Snake roared, the force of the very earth trembling beneath his feet. I then watched in horror as his body seemed to grow, turning into what looked to be a giant snake that looked a lot like Giratina.
"So? If you die, Ty can escape and be free of this accursed place!" Phalix yelled.
"AS IF YOU LITTLE RUNT CAN KILL ME!" Giratina roared.
The very ground trembled underneath us, turning into a series of islands, each one holding a dark, hopeless forest.
"YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON!" Giratina roared in Phalix's face.
"So?" Phalix silently said. He lifted a punch, and then hit Giratina.
"FOOL, YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THIS WORSE!" Giratina roared. Phalix seemed to get knocked away, taking the breeze to a white portal.
"YOU WILL BE CONSUMED!" Giratina said. I felt a heavy weight fall on me.
Every movement felt like acid, every thought was a knife to my mind.
"I still have hope," I muttered, struggling to stay up.
"HOPE? HA!" Giratina laughed.
"HOPE IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO DISAPPOINTMENT!" Giratina quoted.
I didn't care. I just wanted to stop him. I just wanted to get out. I just wanted Giratina to stop.
"HOPE WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL!" Giratina laughed.

POV: Skills.
I watched Phalix try to get to where Ty was, but to no avail. He fell on the floor, thrashing and screaming.
"Make it STOP, PLEASE!" Phalix yelled, forced to relive a horrid memory. I looked away as he dug a hole and curled into a fetal position.
"My best friend is in there and we have nothing we can do about it," I said. I was angry.
"Deadgumit," Mip muttered.
"We can do nothing against this force, so what do we do?" Will said.
"All we can do at this point is hope," Morgan said quietly.
"Hope is not something that is reliable," Mip said.
"Oh stop being so pessimistic, there is always hope," Gary said, as if not worried about the current situation.
"And how are you doing so good through this?" Cassandra asked.
"Well, if there is one thing that Ty taught us, its that we can always hope for the best, even when during our darkest hours," Gary said.
"He also taught us to never give up," Morgan added, her ears perking up.
"He also taught us never to live a lie," I said, with a shiver.
"He also taught us never to hate someone, but to forgive," Icy said with a perky smile.
"He's a good friend," Will said with some elegance.
"He's also a great hero!" Susan said with a smile.
"He's fun," Cassandra said simply, raising her hand.
"He was awesome," Mega said.
"He was also the best of us?" Mip asked.
"Nah, he wouldn't want us to think that! He was always putting us before him!" Morgan said, raising her fist.
"He was a great friend," Mip said, a bit depressed.
We didn't notice that Phalix had gotten up, and he had a pair of icy wings on his back.
"He was the world's form of hope!" Phalix said.
Before we could turn around, he was already gone.

POV: Trine
I screamed as the explosion engulfed me.
But I somehow felt no pain.
When I looked over to when Blaze was, I saw a skeleton of the once great and friendly businessman.
"Whatever made you cold, that was out of our control, we are sorry for it," someone said behind me.
When I looked behind me, I saw Phalix. He had two icy wings, each one angelic.
"We need to get Ty's body, and then take it back to the house," he ordered.
"Alright," I said. I then changed out of Mega Septile, back into my pokemorph form.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Fifteen minutes later
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
We had gathered Ty's body, and taken it back to the house, the place abandoned.
"We need something close to his heart," Phalix said. I then heard a small growl. I looked behind me to see a mutated bread. It was sniffing around, and it had sniffed out Ty.
Phalix stopped me from squishing it. It then hopped onto Ty. A white light englufed him as he stood up.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
POV: Ty
I had run away from Giratina, trying to escape the mad thing. When I hopped to another island, I saw a white portal, one that Phalix had been pulled into. I hopped into it, only to white out.
When I could see again, I was in the house. Nobody was around though. I still felt something in my pocket, and pulled out the rusted key. I dashed to the room with the box. I then unlocked it.
There was nothing in it.
There was NOTHING in it.
Not even a single speck of dust was there.
It was just a clean immaculate box.
I reached in, to see if it was an illusion.
What I didn't expect to happen was for my hand to disintegrate.
And it didn't stop there.
