Shorter chapter, but only 2 more after this! I own nothing and I hope you enjoy!


I was feeling better, what with the energy from the Sableye and the time my wounds had to heal...as well as the half apple. Dusknoir and I walked through Duskn Forest. Well, rather, I was walking and Dusknoir was floating.

"You know you're probably already too late. With Master Dialga on the chase, Celebi doesn't have a chance."

"Shut up!" I snapped at Dusknoir, pushing a branch out of the way. "Celebi is strong and resourceful."

"Dialga is stronger, and this new henchman may be more resourceful."

"I said SHUT UP!" I turned and swung at him...I completely missed, but I think I made my point.

"Ok...ok." Dusknoir said. Even he could see the value in not pissing off his traveling partner.

I sincerely hoped Celebi had been able to avoid Primal Dialga. We were all going to disappear soon, but she deserved to see the future changed before she died. I pushed a few more branches out of the way and we got to the clearing where Celebi usually was. I stopped there.

"Is this where you usually meet Celebi?" Dusknoir asked.

"Yeah." I looked around. I didn't see her. "Celebi! You there?!"

"No, but we are." Six Sableye came out of the shadows and surrounded us.

"Ugh, are you serious?" I rubbed my temples then brandished my leaf blades.

WHAM

Dusknoir's fist rammed into all of the Sableye...all but one. He picked that one up and held them close to his face.

"Where is Master Dialga?!" Dusknoir bellowed, the Sableye merely tripped over its words and panicked. "TELL ME!" Dusknoir yelled right in his face.

"Dialga...ch-chased Celebi...over to Frozen Island...please let go of me! Have mercy!" They really truly feared him...when he was angry. Dusknor did not let go.

"Frozen Island?" I asked.

"That frigid island to the south of here? Is that right?"

"Y-yeah!"

Dusknoir threw Sableye to the ground, the force made a little hole in the ground. Dusknoir...was gaining strength.

"Beat it." I advised, and Sableye ran away, blubbering. We stood a moment, watching him go.

"Do you have the Relic Fragment, by any chance?" Dusknoir asked.

"No, it's back in the past with Kitten and Eric."

"Blast!"

"Why?"

"Frozen Island is outside the time barrier. The only means of getting out of the Hidden land are Dialga, Celebi, and the Relic Fragment...and they're all outside."

"So what you're saying is...we're stuck here?!" I glared at him. Dusknoir looked down at the round and thought for a long time.

"No...I believe there may be one other way."

"And that is?"

"There are a clan of Porygon to the southeast of here who claim to be able to get out of the time barrier by 'glitching the matrix' whatever that means. Master Dialga ordered their destruction but I think one or two of them are still alive. That's our best bet."

"Then by all means, lead the way."

Dusknoir started to walk forward, but then stopped and looked at his arms.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing...just...my arms. I feel strength returning to my arms."

It was true, what with punching out all those Sableye and chipping off rock wit a punch. I'd have to keep an eye on him...

"Heheheh...my strength...my strength is returning..."

Yeah, I'd definitely need to keep an eye on him.


"Are we almost there?"

"You really need to be more patient."

"Fine, but are we?"

"Yes. If they are anywhere, they are nearby." Dusknoir explained.

"So...let's spread out and look." I said.

From here there was a cliff that plunged deep, deep into the sea. I could hear a quiet sort of buzzing. Was that them...? I scanned the area, did my eyes detect...pink? I jumped on it.

"AHHHH I'VE BEEN FOUND, FLEE BROTHER!"

"AHHHH!" Another thing zoomed out from a cave, Dusknoir jumped on it.

So this was a Porygon? They were strange and...very geometric. Pink and blue and...I didn't quite understand how they worked, anatomically.

"You will teleport us to Frozen Island or you will be eliminated!"

"Y-you can't make us! We won't help the likes of you Dusknoir!" The Porygon in Dusknoir's arms said, and suddenly...the Porygon were both floating out of our reach. "Goodbye."

"WAIT!" I called.

"What?" Porygon asked.

"If you help me, I can get rid of the darkness. It is already set in motion, but I need to catch Dialga!" The Porygon looked at each other.

"Oh are you that Grovyle?"

"Yes, I am that Grovyle. Will you help?"

"But you attack us, and you travel with Dusknoir!" The other Porygon said.

"Our interests are the same at the moment. We both want to catch up to Dialga. Send us there."

"Er...uh...fine."

"I guess we can. I would like this place to have light, if you would."

Suddenly we found ourselves in a frozen wasteland.
