Chapter Four - Curiouser and Curiouser
When Ande awoke, she was staring up into the pale blue eyes of a wrinkled old man. ^You have come back to us, very good.^ The voice echoed in her head. She knew that it belonged to the man leaning over her. This fact only confused her already clouded mind. "Where." ^No, don't speak. Think.^ interrupted the man. ^Where am I?^ thought Ande cautiously. ^You would not understand if I told you, just as you will not immediately understand many of the things I have to tell you. You will know when you are ready to know.^ Ande sat up in the cot she had been lying in and looked around. They seemed to be under a dome that was a light blue at the base and faded to black at the top. She rubbed her still sleepy eyes and looked up. She noticed the faint twinkling of what seemed like stars. They were stars, and this wasn't a dome. It was the sky. ^I see that you are beginning to understand. Get up and look around some more.^
Matt did an aerial search for Ande for most of that day. Right before sunset, the Snorlax landed in the ancient forest just west of the Viridian forest. There it proceeded to eat all of the underbrush. Matt leaned up against a huge oak tree and fell asleep. The Snorlax also fell asleep after it finished it's snack. Matt's Ditto was the only one awake when they came. At first , there was only a slight green glow that formed a small circle several feet in front of Ditto. Slowly, three small figures formed inside of the glow. Once the figures fully materialized, they turned to face the awestruck Ditto. "Celebi celebi," [You must come with us,] they said in unison. "Ditto ditto," [I want to stay with my friend Matt,] replied Ditto. "Celebi celebi celebi celebi." [You will leave him and go to The One.] The three strange pokémon circled around the helpless pink blob and lifted it into the air. Ditto tried transforming but couldn't seem to get it to work. Soon, the dark forest faded away and the inside of a cabin appeared. "Ahh, Ditto. My old friend," called a familiar voice from behind Ditto. Ditto spun around to see someone that it almost knew.
High above the Earth on the old man's floating platform Ande was vigorously training her mental powers. The old man was to be her instructor. He was very good at what he did. His mental powers were ten times more powerful then Ande's were. He referred to himself as 'One who will serve'. Ande just called him Master.
Matt woke up with a start. It was still the middle of the night. Everything seemed to be fine but Matt knew something was very wrong. It was then that Matt noticed the absence of one little pink blob. He jumped up and hurriedly searched their entire camp. He called out into the dark woods for his missing pokémon but heard only the night sounds of the woods answer back. Matt failed to notice a tall figure standing in the shadows. ^Could this finally be him?^ the figure thought to it's self. ^Is he the reason I have waited so long?^ Matt settled down to wait for morning. He eventually fell into a fitful sleep. He would find his Ditto when there was more light. He never got the chance. When Matt woke up, he wasn't in the forest. He was in a dimly lit cave. The Snorlax lay on the floor fast asleep as usual. "Good, your awake. I can finally begin." called a voice from the shadows.
