Well guys, I am really ticked off right now. I was working on this over the weekend, just trying to take my mind off of certain things going on, and I close my laptop for a few seconds to go to the bathroom. When I come back, my computer doesn't respond at first, but it eventually it comes on to a blue screen. No, not that blue screen-thank God for that-but a blue screen that says "Update in progress".

*Me as I'm looking at the screen* ... ... ... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUU-

Yeah, I was not happy. I had been working on this for almost half a day and you know what? I didn't get to save. So that completely erased the original file and I had to rewrite it into the chapter you see below. It won't be as good as the original file I wrote, but I hope you enjoy it none-the-less.

This chapter is dedicated to "Enker and Treble" and his two OCs, Chris and Amber.

As always, R&R, PM, and Enjoy! (Oh, and this does take place a few chapters back)


(Jason's POV)

"Unfortunately, the Bug Catching Contest doesn't happen for quite some time."

"Well, when's the next time it opens?" Meema looked through a guidebook and eventually found the page with a schedule for the Bug Catching Contest.

"It looks like the next Contest will be open in two days." I sighed, hoping I could have caught at least one new member for my team.

"I guess we should head out to Route 36, then." As we began to leave, we heard an explosion followed by a few whistles and crackling. We turned around to see a fireworks display behind the tree line, even though it was about three in the afternoon. "What's going on over there?" I asked to no one in particular.

Janice gasped and began running back the way we came and I shouted to her, "Hey, where are you going!?" Janice didn't seem to hear me and we chased after her. We followed her back to the building that connected Route 35 to the National Park, and then followed her through a second exit. Janice was standing at the end of the road and once we caught up with her we stopped to catch our breath.

"Why...did you...run off?" I asked between breaths.

"Look for yourself," she replied. I looked up and caught my breath in my throat. In front of us there was a large blue dome with a yellow crest in the shape of a fist on the roof. There was a parking lot surrounding the dome with a line of RVs and trucks that were decorated with festive and sport-related logos. There were also several people wearing clothing that showed their support for their favorite teams, the most predominant colors being blue and red.

"What is this place?" I asked, continuing to look around in amazement.

"It's the Pokeathlon Dome," Janice explained. Meema began looking through her guidebook and found an entry on the Pokeathlon. We began to walk around as Meema read the entry about the sport and its history. One fan ran past us, his shirt off and his neck and torso covered in body paint. His body was covered in silver paint from his neck, down to his shoulders and down his upper arms and light blue paint from his collarbone, down to his waist and on his lower arms and hands.

Janice was disgusted by the sight, but I was distracted by the symbol on his chest. It was a rounded red triangle, and I asked Meema if she noticed it.

"Yes Jason, I guess some people have different ways of showing their support." I face palmed at that, but she continued, "And yes, I did see the symbol."

"Okay, I guess we should-" As I turned to Janice, I saw she wasn't beside me anymore.

"Jason, come here, quick!" I looked to where I heard her voice and I saw her standing in front of a poster ad. Meema and I walked over to her and I saw that the ad was for the Pokeathlon and the times for each event. The ad suddenly flipped around and I realized that it was a digital ad. The new ad showed two kids, a boy and a girl, wearing sportswear.

The boy wore a blue tracksuit and a red headband, and had short brown hair and dark brown eyes. The girl wore a red tracksuit and blue headband, with copper red hair and hazel eyes. "It's Chris and Amber!"

"Who?" Janice remembered that I didn't know about Pokeathlon and she began explaining to me.

"Chris and Amber are twin brother and sister, the two youngest Poke Athletes in history, and are the only ones to compete as twin competitors. Together, they've won four separate events in the past year across four different regions. And according to this, they're going to be competing for their fifth and final event, after which they intend to retire as the youngest Pokeathlon champions ever!"

"Wow, sounds like they're a favorite to win."

"Yeah, but that's not what makes them popular." When I asked what she meant, the ad changed again and Janice replied, "That's what."

I looked at the ad and Meema and I almost gasped in surprise. It showed Chris and Amber again, in a pose that showed them with their arms crossed in an 'X' and they both stood on one foot, leaning away from each other. However, behind them were two Pokemon that flew in the same direction that they were leaning. Behind Chris and Amber, respectively, were the legendary Pokemon Latios and Latias.

"Meema, do you think Chris and Amber could be children of Latios and Latias?"

"I have no doubts about it, Jason." There was a collective of cheers and screams behind us and we turned to see a crowd of fans surround an approaching bus. The image we just saw from the ad was on the side of the bus and Janice gasped in surprise.

"It's them! I can't believe it, it's really them!" Janice ran off as the bus stopped and the doors opened. I chased after her as a group of suits unloaded off the bus.

"Janice!" I called out as I entered the mass of fans after Janice, but it was drowned out by their cheers. I squeezed my way through the crowd and I could barely catch glimpses of the two young Poke Athletes came off the bus. I saw Janice ahead and I tried to reach out for her.

Unfortunately, I was pushed-most likely by an eager fan-and I fell forward through the crowd and landed on my arms, scratching them a little. The crowd quieted down a little and I felt myself being picked up. The suits were the ones who picked me up and they soon began to force me back into the crowd.

"Hold on a sec!" The suits stopped pushing me back into the crowd and I saw the boy, Chris, walk over to me. We just stared at each other, as if we knew one another from a long time ago, and I tried reading his aura. Chris' aura was mostly blue, but it also had some red mixed in. I could also sense Amber's aura, which was mostly red with blue mixed in, and I had no doubt that they were doing the same with me.

Chris smiled and said, "It's cool. It was just an accident, right?"

He winked at me and I nodded, "Yeah, I was pushed by accident." Chris nodded and the suits let me go, allowing me to pass through the crowd again. Janice called out to me once I got out of the crowd and I turned around.

"Hey, are you alright?" Meema asked, approaching us.

"Yeah, just a few scratches," I replied, showing them to her.

"Well that's good," Janice said, "But I have to ask." I turned to Janice, only to see her looking at me with stars in her eyes, "What was Chris like up close? What did he ask you? Did he ask to meet you in secret?" I rolled my eyes and we continued on.

"Meet me at the fountain, tonight at 11."

I stopped and looked around, and both Meema and Janice noticed I had stopped. The voice was feminine and it was definitely telepathic, but it didn't sound like Meema's at all.

"Jason, what's wrong?" Janice asked. I noticed Chris and Amber were entering the Pokeathlon Dome and I noticed Amber looked in my direction.

'Could it have been her?'

"Jason, should we be moving on?" Meema asked.

I shook my head, "No, I think we can stay for a while longer. Besides this is my first time at a Pokeathlon event." Janice was glad that we got to stay and suggested we see if any tickets were available. Once we found the booth, the man told us that there were only two tickets left and they both cost 3,000 Pokeyen each. Meema offered to let us have the tickets as well as pay for them.

Janice thanked her and promised to pay her back, and after getting the tickets we decided to settle down for now. Opposite the trucks and RVs in the parking lot there was an area for people with tents. Meema had purchased a three-person tent while we were back in Goldenrod and we began setting it up. After the tent was pitched, our gear was set down and our sleeping bags were rolled out, Janice went out to look around some more and I decided to tell Meema about the telepathic message I received.

"What do you think I should do?"

"I think you should go, Jason, but just in case I should come along as well." I agreed, and she continued, "Perhaps I can catch up with the twins while we're there." I checked the time on my Poke-Gear, and it was about five in the afternoon.

"Well, we've got a lot of time to kill until then."


(Amber's POV)

"This was a crazy day," Chris said. I was in the bathroom of our tour bus, brushing my teeth while Chris roamed the bus from end to end. Our bus was moved not too long ago to the opposite side of the dome, which allowed us to move back into the bus without being easily noticed. "We've signed over 50 autographs, taken at least 30 photos-half of them done with celebrities and the Pokemon Champion himself-and after all that," I saw him pass by the bathroom door through the window and eventually heard him jump into his bunk, "I am not tired in the slightest."

I spat out the toothpaste in my mouth and rinsed, washing my tooth brush afterwards, and I went out to the kitchen part of the bus. "So, what'd you think of that kid?" I looked at him from the kitchen as I got a Raichu Thunder drink from the mini-fridge and he continued, "I could sense a psychic aura coming off of him-you think he could be Jirachi's kid?"*

I scoffed as I went back there and took a drink from the bottle. "As if. Jirachi won't wake up for months, and he hasn't even claimed a child. I'm not sure he even wants to have one."

He shrugged and guessed again, "Cresselia?"

"Possibly."

"Maybe one of the Lake Guardians?"

"No, they already have one and they're raising him together back in Sinnoh."

"Well who do you think it is?" He chuckled, "I'm going to die laughing if it's Deoxys."

He continued to laugh when we heard, "It's Celebi." Chris stopped laughing and one of his Poke Balls opened, releasing Uncle Latios.

"Meema!? Wait, Celebi?"

"That's right, Chris." This time one of my Poke Balls opened and my own Meema, Latias, came out. Latias and Latios were siblings, so it was only natural that we call the other sibling's Meema Aunt and Uncle.

"We have not seen Celebi in quite some time," Uncle Latios said, "It would be very likely that she would have adopted her own child during that time."

"Amber," Meema said, "I believe you asked him to meet you tonight?"

Both Uncle Latios and Chris looked at me and Chris asked when I did this. "I sent a message to him telepathically." Chris rolled his eyes and plopped back down on his bed. "I just wanted to meet him. We've been all over the world, but we have never seen another child of a Legendary Pokemon."

"Is it wise, Amber?" Latios asked me. "For all you know, he could be working for someone to capture me and Latias, or worse-you." I nodded in understanding, but Meema placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Then I'll go with her." Latios and Chris looked at Latias in surprise and she continued, "And if you're so concerned about safety, brother, you and Chris can join us."

Latios knew he couldn't argue with her and said, "Fine, but the three of us," he pointed to Meema, himself, and Chris, "Will be watching for anything suspicious and we will intervene if needed."

"Fine," I said, agreeing to the terms. I checked the wall clock and it was getting close to ten. "I'll be leaving in an hour, whether you're awake or not."


(Jason's POV)

I was asleep in the tent with Meema and Janice-I was the closest to the door of the tent, and Meema slept between me and Janice. I felt Meema shake me awake and I checked the clock on my Poke-Gear. "10:54 at night, time to get up."

I silently slipped out of my sleeping bag, Meema transforming inside hers, and I silently opened the tent. Janice groaned for a moment, prompting me to stop halfway through, and I slid out the door with ease. I took out a flashlight from the tent, clicked it on, and we made our way to the fountain. It was at the far end of the parking lot, which looked out over a body of water, and I could already see someone there.

I telepathically told Meema to hide herself and she flew off as I came closer to the fountain. "Well, looks like you showed up." I heard the same feminine voice say. I widened the focus of my flashlight and pointed the softer portion of light towards the fountain. Sure enough, Amber was waiting at the fountain.

I came closer to the fountain and said, "So, you really did talk to me using telepathy."

Amber smiled and nodded, "One of my many talents."

"Same here." She didn't seem surprised at that, and I asked, "So where's your Meema?"

Amber pulled out a Poke Ball and said, "She's in here. Just so you know, try anything funny-anything at all-and I won't hesitate to call her out."

I nodded, "Of course. Then you should know that my Meema will do the same if you try anything funny." Amber smiled and put away the Poke Ball. "So why did you want to meet me?"

She sighed and sat on the edge of the fountain. "To be honest, although I and my brother have been all over, I have never met anyone like me except for my brother. Until now."

I sat down with her and I said, "That's not the case for me, unfortunately. I encountered the son of Darkrai some time ago." I shook my head, remembering the awful feeling of being in the nightmare, "It was not a pleasant experience."

"Really, what was he like?"

"You don't want to know," I said, continuing to shake my head. "He wasn't exactly pleasant when we first met. He was working with a group of people called Team Rocket."

"Oh, well I'm sure he wasn't always bad." I was having a hard time believing that, but my thoughts soon came out of that when I heard footsteps coming this way.

"Do you hear that?" I whispered. She nodded and I turned off the flashlight. I began to see with my aura and looked around, sensing any approaching aura. I found one aura that was coming our way and tried to identify it. The aura was very familiar, a reddish pink with a bit of blue, and I turned on the flashlight in that direction. The person groaned and I was surprised when I found out who it was.

"Janice?" I moved the light away from her face, and Janice rubbed her eyes.

"Jason? What are you-do you have any idea what time it is?" She looked up at me and noticed Amber sitting next to me. "What are you-? What's-? Huh?"

I stood and quickly walked over to her. "Janice, listen. I was just out here for a walk and I happened upon Amber here. We just talked for a while, that's all." I could tell Janice was half asleep and she nodded at my response. "Look I'll be back in a few minutes, just go back to the tent and I'll be back in about ten to fifteen minutes." Janice nodded and I turned her back in the direction of the tent. She walked off and I silently sighed in relief.

"Pretty neat trick," Amber said. "It was nothing, all I did was use Hypnosis while I spoke. If I didn't, she'd probably be yelling her head off." Amber silently laughed and I returned to my seat next to Amber. She was still laughing and I said, "Okay, so can I ask you something?" Amber nodded, "Is Latias really your Meema?"

"Yes, she is. She also told me that your Meema is Celebi."

I nodded and I heard Meema say, "Should I introduce myself?"

"I guess Meema, but let me tell her first."

"Alright, I'll be listening for my cue then."

"Hey, you still there?"

I realized Amber was speaking to me while I was talking with Meema and I said, "Uh, sorry Amber. I was talking with my Meema. She, uh...kind of wants to meet you." Amber looked surprised, but she nodded.

"Only if my Meema gets to meet you as well." I nodded and I called for Meema to come out. There was a small flurry of pink light and Meema flew next to us. Behind Amber there was another flurry of white and blue light and I could sense another aura similar to Amber's, but stronger.

"Latias," Meema said, smiling. "It's been quite a long time since we last met." Meema flew over to Latias and hugged her neck, Latias holding on to Celebi to return the gesture.

"Well, having kids does require a lot of attention." Latias let go of her and added, "Of course, you should know about that by now."

Meema laughed and replied, "Yes. Jason was quite the handful when I adopted him."

"Celebi," Amber said, "If you don't mind me asking, how did you adopt Jason?"

Both Meema and I gave her looks of sadness and I replied, "When I was a baby, my parents were killed by a swarm of Beedrill." Amber gasped as I continued my story, "From what Meema told me, she attacked the Beedrill and chased them away, but it was too late for my parents. My mother's dying words were asking Celebi to take care of me."

"I'm so sorry," Amber said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I wish I could sympathize the same way. My brother and I were put into an orphanage back in the Hoenn region when we were six." I looked to her and I saw Latias hug Amber in comfort. "We don't know why, but we assume that our parent's just couldn't support us anymore. I was usually picked to be adopted more than the other kids, but I refused to be separated from my brother."

"And we stayed in that orphanage," a new voice said, causing all of us to tense up in surprise. "Until Latias and Latios found us." I pointed the flashlight in the direction of the voice to reveal Chris and Latios.

"Brother?" Both Latias and Amber said.

"Latios, it's been some time," Meema said, flying over to him and then back to me.

"Indeed it has," he replied.

"So, you were saying?" I asked, hoping to hear more of the story.

Latios nodded to Chris, who continued, "It was in November. Amber and I had just turned seven, and we had been told someone was looking to adopt soon. We didn't know it at the time, but the mother and father that visited the orphanage were Latios and Latias in disguise. They wanted to adopt Amber at first, but Amber told them it would be the both of us or nothing."

"We had no problem with that," Latios replied, "since we were looking for two children to adopt."

"And it was a good thing, too," Amber continued. "At the time, I was very dependent on my brother for emotional support. But when they adopted us and told us the truth about who they were, our lives changed for the better."

"Well, I'm glad it did," Meema said. "Well, I think that we should be getting some sleep. It's already past midnight and I think you two should get some sleep before your big event." Chris and Amber nodded and we stood up to say goodbye.

"It was very nice to meet you all," I said. Latias and Latios nodded and Amber smiled at me.

She hugged me and said, "Thanks for coming here. I guess I just needed to talk with someone." I told her it was no problem and let her go. I shook hands with Chris and the three of us went our separate ways, our Meemas following close behind.

"Well Jason," Meema said, "It seems like you've made some new friends tonight, and with other children of Legendaries, no less."

"Yeah, but I doubt all of my encounters are going to end up like this."

"No, not all of them." We arrived at the tent and we slid in silently. After closing up the tent, Meema wished me good night and we fell asleep.


(The next day)

At two in the afternoon, Janice and I made our way to our seats in the Pokeathlon Dome after stopping by the concession stand. Janice got a soft pretzel with no salt and a medium drink, while I got Torchic strips with fries and a medium drink. There were seats that went around the entire dome, even a second ring of bleachers above the ground level seats.

When we found our seats we discovered why they were so expensive: they were very close to the track, the stairs to the exit, and the center stage. We started looking for Chris and Amber, but couldn't see either of them.

A man in a gray tracksuit with a microphone walked to the stage and called out, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have been waiting anxiously and we thank you for your patience. Now, are you ready for the main event!?" The entire crowd cheered, as did we, and the announcer called out, "Then help me welcome our Poke Athletes!"

The crowd cheered once again as a trap door in the stage opened up and a lift brought up the athletes. We saw one man and two teenage girls, but neither Chris nor Amber were on stage with them. The crowd began to murmur with confusion as everyone wondered where they were.

"Uh, ladies and gentlemen," the announcer said, bringing back their attention. "I have just been informed that both Chris and Amber are unable to participate in this event."

"What!?" Janice, I and just about everyone in the stadium shouted.

Suddenly, I got this weird feeling and I looked around. I could sense Amber's aura, which was faint, and I said to Janice, "Hey, I need to go to the restroom. I'll be back in a few minutes."

I handed her my Torchic finger basket and began running up the stairs as Janice called out for me. I ran through the idle crowd that remained in the stands and made my way outside. I began searching for Amber's aura again and followed it once I found it. It led me to their tour bus and I used Confusion to force the door open. I raced inside and found the two in the back of the bus, both unconscious.

"Chris! Amber!" I ran over to Chris first and tried shaking him awake, but his head merely rolled to the side. I tried to think of something and when I did I silently apologized for what I was about to do.

I held him up, propping him against the back wall, and mentally prepared myself. I could feel psychic energy building up in front of me and I charged forward. "Zen Headbutt!" I ran right into Chris' torso and I heard him cry in pain.

He slumped and I slapped him a few more times to keep him awake. He shook his head and said, "Jason? Where...? What?" He suddenly snapped awake and grabbed my shoulders.

"Jason! Oh, thank Arceus. Someone attacked us last night."

"I could sort of tell," I replied, moving over to Amber and trying to sit her up.

"Here, let me," Chris said. I stepped to the side and Chris held a vial up to Amber's nose.

She sniffed it and jerked awake. "Oh, smelling salts? Gross." She suddenly became aware that I was in the bus with them and suddenly grabbed onto me in a hug. "Jason!"

"I know," I replied. I helped her up and told them that they were late for the Pokeathlon.

"Alright, let's head out," Chris said, grabbing three Poke Balls from his bed. We exited the bus but were all stopped by an intense pain in our heads. I looked up and gasped when I saw none other than Darren in front of us.

"Well, if it isn't Jason." He said in a calm tone. Chris noticed him and said "You!" through gritted teeth.

"Did he..." I said, unable to finish my sentence.

"No," Amber said, "he didn't attack us. But he was there when it happened."

"So you do remember me, don't you?" Darren said, walking towards us-each step increasing the mental pain. "I was actually hoping to find just these two, but it seems I've caught a bigger prize." He stopped in front of me, at which point the mental pain reached its peak. "Jason Gilman. I suspect you did not grow any stronger." I growled at him, and he smiled at my reaction. "I'm actually glad you're here, Jason. I see you've made two new allies, let me show you mine."

Darren stepped back, relieving some of the pain, and he spread his arms wide. His eyes suddenly began glowing an unearthly purple, like the flames of a Chandelure, and the ground suddenly began to shake. It was like an earthquake, and the spectators inside the Dome screamed in terror. I sensed a new presence approaching: something big and powerful. I looked to the water and saw a whirlpool forming, like the lake was being drained.

Chris and Amber noticed as well and suddenly the mental pain doubled, even tripled in intensity, causing the three of us to cry out in pain. I opened my eyes and looked to the whirlpool, but the whirlpool was replaced by some kind of portal that emitted the same purple glow. A shadow began to rise from the wormhole and my eyes widened with terror as the shadow flew out of the portal.

A loud roar called above us, and we looked up to see the shadow flying high above us. "What is that thing?" The shadow began to fly down towards us and roar. It landed between the three of us and Darren, and its dark, shadow-like form became bright yellow, silver, and cyan. I gazed in horror at what I saw before me, and I could hear Darren laugh.

"I would like to introduce you to a very special someone in my life: the daughter of Giratina!" It gave a mighty roar, causing the ground around it to crack and the glass in the dome to shatter. I could hear the screams more clearly now, as well as Darren's maniacal laughter. The Giratina exhaled a large plume of blue and purple flames, and we dodged out of the way. The pain was too unbearable and I fell to my knees.

"Not good enough!" Darren shouted. I heard more screams and looked to where Amber and Chris were, only to see them being burned by the flames. They cried out in pain and disappeared in the flames.

"No. No! This can't be happening!" The Giratina roared once again and I looked to see it turn on the dome. It unleashed the same blue and purple flames and the dome was destroyed, the roof collapsing on top of the spectators inside.

"No, no..." I fell to my hands as I realized Janice was gone.

Everybody was gone.

Darren's laughter only got louder and louder as they echoed...echoed...echoed? I began to punch my hand on the ground, again and again, and when I checked it there wasn't a scratch.

"This isn't real," I realized. I looked up at the odd colored Giratina as it dissolved into smoke and everything around me and Darren turned black. "I'm still asleep, this is one of your nightmares!"

Darren growled at me this time, and soon his body turned to smoke and he began to grow. "You may have seen through my nightmares, but not everything you saw was an illusion." He leaned closer to me, his eye giving off a bright electric blue glow. "You may have gained a few allies, but I am also gaining allies." He disappeared from view and I felt myself falling like last time before I jerked awake.

I looked around, noticing Janice and Meema were still asleep. Just as I was starting to relax, the alarm on my Poke-Gear began to go off, startling me. Janice and Meema began to wake up so I turned the alarm off as they stretched to get themselves up.

"Hey Jason, you're up already?" I nodded silently and Meema looked at me worriedly.

"Jason, is everything alright?"

I looked away but said, "We should talk later. I don't feel like talking now." Meema understood and Janice told me that the Pokeathlon would be starting in a few hours and suggested we go and find our seats.

I nodded and Janice started to leave, but Meema said, "Jason, are you sure you don't want to talk now? Did it have something to do with Darren?"

I didn't answer, but I could tell Meema already knew what it was.

"Go on, Janice is waiting for you." I nodded, giving a small smile, and left the tent.


(Later that day)

"It's going to be a close finish folks!" the announcer called. The first two events, the Hurdle Jump and the Pennant Capture, had already been finished-all with close calls-and the final event was going on right now. Chris and Amber were currently in second place with Latias, right behind a Sunkern that was actually matching its speed. Latias began to falter and they recalled her, sending out Latios to replace her. He began to race ahead, almost catching up with the Sunkern.

"5...4...3...2...1...Time!"

All of the Pokemon came to a halt and were returned to their respective trainers. "That's it folks, the final event of today's Pokeathlon has been finished!" The crowd gave a cheer and the announcer continued, "Now, it's time to see who the winner is."

A large board with four screens activated, each with a large, blocky zero. The points from all three events were tallied and added together along with some bonus points, and they finally stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this Pokeathlon is..." The crowd held their breath in suspense, and the announcer shouted, "Chris and Amber of Team Eon!"

The entire stadium jumped out of their seats and cheered for the twins, Amber jumping into her brother's arms in joy. The two let out the three Pokemon that participated-Latias, Latios, and a Pidgeot-and they took center stage as they were presented with medals.

"And as we all know, this is Team Eon's fifth consecutive badge, which means that they will be entering the Hall of Fame as the youngest Poke Athletes in history!"

The crowd went wild, and the announcer finished off with, "Thank you all for being here on this historic day. Now join me in signing off. This is Pokeathlon..." the entire crowd joined in and shouted, "Forever!"

The crowd began to leave and I saw Chris and Amber look my way and wave. I waved back and I heard Amber say, "Meet us outside, we have something to talk about."

I understood and asked Janice to wait with Mom while I did something. We left the Dome and I went out back to where their tour bus was. They eventually came out and they saw me waiting for them. "Good, you're here," Chris said. I could tell he wasn't in the best mood, but I don't think it had to do with me.

"You had a nightmare last night, did you?" Amber asked.

I nodded, "Darren. He's the son of Darkrai." Chris nodded.

"We both had the same nightmare: we were attacked by an unknown figure, who was revealed to be a daughter of Giratina. And then..." I remembered, they were burned with that odd colored fire.

"It was awful. It felt like I was feeling both physical and mental pain at the same time."

"Trust me, I know the feeling." I replied. "After I figured out it was a nightmare, he said that he was gaining allies. I'd be willing to bet that the daughter of Giratina wasn't just an illusion, but something that was real."

We all had the same, horrible realization, and Amber said, "Well, if you need any help just give us a call." I handed her my Poke-Gear and she added in both their numbers. "We'll help when we can, but we can't guarantee anything." I nodded in understanding and I sensed Meema and Janice were looking for me.

"I got to go," I said. They understood and I took off to rejoin them. I soon found them and was about to call out to them when I suddenly got the same feeling again. I turned and looked around, unsure of where the source was coming from. I looked up and saw a figure on the roof of the Dome. It wasn't Darren, but it did seem familiar, and like a shadow it faded and disappeared.

"Jason!" I turned and noticed Janice waving to me. "Come on, we're all set to go and you're staring at shadows."

'Staring at shadows?' I shook it off and ran over to join them, trying to forget everything that I didn't want to remember.


*-this is the point where I lost all my progress, so everything after that was no longer stressful on my brain.

So I realize that halfway through, it starts getting crazy and a bit out of place for me, but then again I was writing that half around ten or eleven at night-and I didn't stop until it was finished.

Anyways, a big thanks to "Enker and Treble" for his OCs, and we also got to see a little surprise OC. This character won't appear for quite some time, and in the next chapter (which I also lost some progress on) I will be answering some of the big questions. If any of you readers out there have any questions you want answered, I will be glad to add those in and answer them to the best of my ability.

Until then, ask in your reviews, PM me with any suggestions, and I'll see you guys next time.
