Hi, everyone! Here's the next chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! I know you want me to post the next chapter of my MLP stories, but the Equestria Adventure on, I'm at a loss with, and Ash's Ponyville Adventures, I'm taking a break from it! But nevertheless, I hope you'll enjoy it because this chapter consists of nightmares and fears and a demon responsible for those things! And now, on with the story!

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*

It was another day in Metropolis, just as school was ending.

[RING!]

Ash: Well, time to go, buddy!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

That's when he heard the girls.

Ash: Hey, girls!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Zee: Hey, Ashykins!

Pikachu: [jumps onto her shoulder] PIKA! [nuzzles her] CHA!

Zee: Good to see you too, Pikachu!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Zee: I missed you too! [nuzzles noses with Pikachu]

Ash: So what's going on?

Babs: Well...we're having a slumber party at Zee's place tonight!

Alex: Yeah! It's gonna be super fun!

Ash: That sounds awesome! Well, I guess that means I'm going out on patrol tonight! Have fun!

Before he could leave, he was stopped by Babs.

Babs: And just where do you think you're going, mister?!

Ash: Out on patrol!

Babs: And miss out on the fun?! No way!

Clover: I don't blame him! He's following the "No Boys Allowed" rule!

Ash: She has a point you know! Girls only!

Babs: Well, guys can join the fun too, you know!

Diana: Agreed!

Ash: You sure, girls?

Zee: Yes! Please? [bats her eyelashes at him]

Ash: [smiles] I can't say no to your pretty face, Zee! Of course I will!

Zee: Yay! [hugs him] This'll be great!

Later that night, they were chatting and having a good time. That was when Kara was having nightmare, about bugs. She tried to shoot them with her laser vision, but they just kept multiplying!

Kara: [wakes up] [screams]

Jessica: Kara, are you OK?

Misty: What's wrong?!

Ash: Are you okay?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Kara: Um... [chuckles] Yeah, yeah, just a little night. I guess.

Babs: Ooh! [takes book out and reads it] I read in Batman's Guide to Criminal Psychoanalysis, 12th Edition, that nightmare are how our subconsciousnesses force us to look at our deepest insecurities and fears, and the emotions in them are actually the emotions we need to be examining in the real world 'cause they always connect to whatever's happening in our lives and they always tell us things about ourselves that our conscious minds can't handle or did I dream that.

Karen: [saddened] Oh! Nightmares are the worst.

Diana: I despise nightmares.

Jessica: I do, too.

Serena (Pokémon): Same here!

Serena/Usagi: So do I!

Zee: What? Since when are all of you so nightmare-y?

Kara: What, you don't have bad dreams?

Zee: I don't have fears or insecurities, hidden or otherwise, and I simply don't understand why you girls would, either. You're all too fabulous for that sort of thing.

She then hugs Ash and nuzzles cheeks with him.

Zee: Isn't that right, Ashykins?

Ash: Yeah!

Zee: [cuddles and nuzzles cheeks with him] And I know you're not afraid of anything, are you, Ashykins [boops his nose]! [kisses his cheek] Mwah!

Ash: [blushes] [giggles]

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Karen: Can we please stop talking about this?

Babs: Don't worry, Karen, there aren't gonna be any bad dreams at this sleepover 'cause we're gonna party ALL NIGHT LONG!

Sam: Yeah! We've got the whole night of fun activities!

Serena (Pokémon): Yep!

Mina: [pulls out some snacks] I've even brought some snacks and I ordered pizza!

Ash: Yeah!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Later on, everyone fell asleep.

Rowlet: [sleeping] RRRRR...

Zee: [as Kara's foot hangs in front of her] [pushes it away in disgust] Ugh!

Then Kara kicked Zee into the TV!

Zee: [exclaims] [growls]

Sylveon: [asking if she's alright] SYLVEON?

Gastly: [asking if she's alright] GAS?

Zee: Yeah! I'm good!

Sableye: [alerting her] SABLE! SABLEYE!

Zee: What's wrong, Sableye?

Sableye: [pointing to Ash and the girls] SAB!

Ash and the girls seemed to be having bad dreams, as they were tossing and turning.

Zee: What is going on? [opens Karen's eye] [gasps] Magic.

Sylveon: [asking if it's dark magic] SYLVE?

Zee: I'm afraid so, Sylveon!

Baby Kangaskhan: [scared] KANGA!

Zee: There there, little guy! Just go to your mom and Auntie Zee Zee will settle this!

She then went over to her bed and took out a book with the letter Z on it. Zee uses her spell book as she whispers at the chanting spell.

Zee: [gasps] Oh... Oh, my...

Gastly: [asking if it's bad] GASTLY GAS?

Zee: Very bad!

She then saw Ash and the girls continue to experience the terrors they're having.

Zee: Well, if that's what it takes.

Ash: [scared] [in his sleep] No! No! Stay away!

Zee: Poor Ashykins!

Ash: [scared] [tears in his eyes] Please! Stay away! It's not my fault!

Zee: He's the first to help!

She then got down on her pillow and was about to chant the spell.

Sylveon: [telling her that her and Gastly are going too] SYLVEON SYLVE!

Gastly: [agreeing] GASTLY!

Zee: No, you two! It's too dangerous!

Sylveon: [telling her that wherever she goes, her partner goes] SYLVE SYLVE SYLVEON!

Gastly: [telling her it laughs in the face of danger] [laughs] GASTLY GASTLY GAS!

Zee: Well, alright! You can come! [to Kangaskhan] Kangaskhan, you stay here and watch your baby and Sableye!

Kangaskhan: [affirmative] KHAN!

Zee: oG ni ym 'sdneirf smaerd. ["Go in my friends' dreams." reversed]

Soon, hers, Sylveon's, and Gastly's spirits entered the dreams, and the first dream to enter was Ash's.

Zee: Hello? Ash?

?: You failed me, Ash.

Ash: [tears in eyes] No! Please! I'm sorry!

Zee: Ash? Who are you talking to?

?: You failed me, Ash. You couldn't save me. You're no son of mine!

Ash: [tears in eyes] No! Please!

Zee: Son? Wait a minute! It can't be his father!

Sylveon: [sensing it's not his father] SYLVE! [Dazzling Gleam move] SYLVEON!

Fuseli: Ow! You pest! [jumps through portal]

Sylveon: [saying "after him"] SYLVEON!

Zee: Hold on, Sylveon!

Ash: Huh? Zee?

Zee: Ash!

She then ran over and hugged him.

Zee: I was so worried about you! Who was the person you were talking to?

Ash: I have no idea! Who ever that was, he... he was showing me horrible visions... of my father...

Zee: You're father?! No wonder! Listen, someone's creating nightmares with dark magic and he needs to be stopped before it happens to anyone else!

Ash: You're right! [looks down] Whoever that was, it made me think that my dad's no longer around, and it's my fault that it happened.

Pikachu: [sad] PIKA.

Zee: Oh, Ash! I'm sure you're father is alive and well! You just don't know where he is!

Ash: You really think so?

Zee: Of course I do! [places a hand on his cheek] And I'm sure you're father would be very proud to see his son just like his father!

Ash: You really mean that, Zee?

Zee: I wouldn't be saying it if it weren't true, now would I?

Ash: Oh, come here! [kisses her on the lips]

And Zee returned it with passion equal to his.

Zee: Now, you wanna help me stop the villain?

Ash: You got it!

Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!

Zee: Then, let's go!

Soon, they had entered Karen's dream.

Karen: [voice echoing] Hello? Hello?

Zee: Karen. Oh, thank goodness you're all right.

Ash: We're here to help!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Karen: I'm... Karen... Beecher. A-And... I'm... here... to... to...

Fuseli: [disguised as spectator] Get on with it, kid. We ain't getting any younger, you know?

Karen: I'm... here... to... to... give a speech about the quantum mechanical model of THE ATOM!

Zee: Oh, no. Public speaking: Karen's greatest fear!

Karen: Oh, no! I FORGOT TO STUDY!

Fuseli: Tsk, tsk, tsk! So irresponsible.

[spectators laugh maliciously]

Ash: Hey! Knock it off!

Pikachu: [angry] [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!

Zee: KAREN! This isn't real! If anything you studied too much, this is JUST a dream!

Karen: [looks at a bunny suit she's wearing] AAAH! Not the bunny jammies from Aunt Carol!

Ash: [sweat drops] Where did that even come from?

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA...

Fuseli: [mocking] Aww, the baby's cwying... in front of the whole school! [laughing wickedly]

Ash: That does it! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

That managed to zap everyone in the audience!

The strange figure then jumped through another portal.

Zee: If she won't wake up, I've gotta find another way.

Ash and Zee were now in Diana's dream, and she seemed to be on guard for an incoming attack.

Ash: Diana?

Wonder Woman: Silence! They approach: Jaws of steel, fangs like swords. Their kind have terrorized the forests of the Earth since time immemorial, ravaging whatever creature they should find for their supper. Yet, in the world of man, they place these monsters in the cradles... OF BABES!

Ash: What is it?

Pikachu: PIKA?

What was hiding in the bushes was a teddy bear, as more began to pop out.

Two Teddies: I like to hug.

Zee: Wow. Really, Diana?

Ash: [facepalms] You've gotta be kiddin' me?! Those things?!

Pikachu: [facepalms] PIKA!

All Teddies: I like to hug. I like to hug.

Wonder Woman: Aaah! DEMONS!

That's when they began to pile onto her!

Ash: Okay! I know they like to hug, but that's probably too much hugging!

Wonder Woman: UGH! Their horrible softness!

While Ash and Zee pulled the teddy bears off her as they continued their creepy chant, a green teddy bear appeared at the top, gaining an evil and creepy face.

Ash: Okay! Now that's just creepy!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

The strange possessed teddy bear then jumped through another portal.

Ash: And there it goes! [to Zee] [holds out his hand] Shall we, milady?

Zee: [takes his hand] We shall!

Soon, they entered another dream, which seemed to be Metropolis, with the sky being red.

Zee: Hello?

Batgirl: ZEE! ASH! QUICK! RUUUUUN! [runs away]

Zee: Heh, what now? Easter bunnies?

Ash: [looks up at the sky] [nervous] Uh, Zee?

Zee: What?

That's when they saw sharks falling down from the sky!

Zee: Oh, yeah, that's much scarier!

Pikachu: [scared] PIKACHU!

Ash: Run!

And they did just that!

Batgirl: Quick! Throw me the shark-repellent Bat-Spray!

Zee: The what-y what what now?!

That's when a tray appeared with different spray cans.

Ash: Now, where did that come from?

While Zee tried to find the right repellent, the strange demon appeared on one of the sharks that was chasing the heroes.

Zee: YOU! What are you doing in my friends' dreams?!

Fuseli: [laughing] Riding a flying shark. Typical Wednesday.

Ash: Why you...! Quit messing with our dreams!

Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!

Fuseli: Make me, twerp!

That's when he jumped through another portal.

Ash: After him!

They were now in a dream that appeared to be on a plane!

Zee: A plane? Who's dream is this?

Lita: [screaming]

Ash: Lita!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Zee: What's wrong?!

Lita seemed to be shaking in fear and she had her eyes shut tight!

Lita: I'm afraid of flying!

Zee: Seriously? Flying?

Fuseli: [through the speakers] Attention, passengers! This is your captain speaking! Hang on tight! We're about to do a lot of loop the loops!

Ash: So?! Don't worry, Lita! We'll fix'im!

The strange demon jumped through another portal as Ash and Zee gave chase.

["Who's That Pokémon?" time]

[as a silhouette shows a shadow-like Pokémon]

Ash and Zee: Who's that Pokénon?

...
Ash and Zee: It's Darkrai!

[as the silhouette reveals the Pitch-Black Pokémon, Darkrai]

Darkrai: DARKRAI!

[End]

Ash and Zee appeared to be on an electrical tower.

Ash: Now, where are we?

[thunder roars] [lightning cracks]

Serena/Usagi: [screaming]

Ash: Uh oh!

Zee: That's Serena!

Serena/Usagi: Anything but thunder and lightning!

Zee: Seriously? At this age, she's afraid of thunder and lightning?

Fuseli: [laughing] This is too rich!

Ash: Oh yeah?! [as he and Zee chased him] Come back here, you little pest!

After another portal chase, they seemed to have encountered Raye.

Girl #1: You failed us, Raye!

Girl #2: You never helped us with any of our problems!

Girl #3: You're useless!

Ash: Oh no! This can't be good!

Zee: Poor Raye!

Fuseli: Poor little girl! Utterly useless!

Ash: Why you little pest! [as he and Zee give chase] We'll get you for this!

Now they appeared to be in a dark cave.

Zee: Now where are we?

Ash: I can't tell! It's pitch black in here!

Alex: [screaming] AAAH! I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK!

Ash: That's Alex!

Zee: I can't believe she's still afraid of the dark at her age!

Fuseli: [laughing] Now that's funny!

Ash: Oh yeah?! [as he and Zee we giving chase] We'll getcha you little robber! Get back here!

However, they appeared to be in a spider web.

Ash: Hey! What's going on here?!

Spiders: [hissing]

Mina: EEK! SPIDERS!

Zee: Now that's one big spider!

Ash: Easy, fella! Down, boy!

Fuseli: [laughing]

Ash: [quacks] Oh yeah?! [as he and Zee give chase] You doggone dirty robber!

Now they appeared to be at a school.

Student #1: Look! It's Amy! The biggest bully there is!

Ash: What?!

Amy: [crying] No! Please! Leave me alone!

Zee: Why those dirty little...

Fuseli: [laughing]

Ash: So?! Come back here, [as he and Zee give chase again] you little rat!

Surprisingly, they appeared to be at Beverly Hills High!

Zee: Ash? What is this place?

Ash: Beverly Hills High School! But why here?

Zee: Who's dream do you think this is?

Student: There's Clover! The most popular girl at Beverly High!

Ash: I might've guessed this is Clover's dream!

Clover: [blowing kisses] Mwah! Mwah! Thank you!

Fuseli: [chuckles evilly] You won't be Miss Popular for long!

That's when her clothes changed to a nerd style, her teeth gained braces, pimples appeared on her face, a pair of glasses, and her voice changed!

Ash: What in the heck?!

Zee: She turned into a nerd!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Zee: [covers Sylveon's eyes] Avert your eyes, Sylveon!

Sylveon: SYLVE!

Clover: [screams] AHH! I'M HIDEOUS!

Fuseli: [laughing]

Ash: Aw! Mess with one of my big sisters, huh?! [as he and Zee give chase again] We'll fix you, you little devil!

Dave: Ick! I wouldn't wanna date some nerd!

Clover: [cries]

Soon, they encountered Sam!

Ash: Sam!

Pikachu: PIKA!

When she turned around, she was a mime!

Ash: [quacks] Sam?! What happened to you?

Sam: [sign language] I've been turned into a mime!

Ash and Zee: What?! By who?!

Jazz Hands: [laughing] Magnifique!

Ash: [angry] Jazz Hands! I shoulda known you caused this!

Pikachu: [agreeing] [cheeks sparking] PIKA!

Jazz Hands: And you're next! [fires from his accordion]

Ash: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUU!

The Thunderbolt managed to overpower the beam and destroy the accordion!

Fuseli: [growls] I'll leave them in your care, Jazzy! [jumps through another portal]

Ash: [as he and Zee chase after him] Oh no you don't!

Now they seemed to be in a forest, where there was a bunch of Bug type Pokémon.

Ash: I betcha anything, this is Misty's dream! And we already know about her worst fear! Bugs!

Misty: [screams] AAAH! Anything but Bug types!

Zee: I still don't understand why she's afraid of bugs!

Ash: And we might never will!

Fuseli: [laughing]

Ash: [growls] [as he and Zee give chase] Come on back here, you little robber!

They were now in Serena's dream, and she seemed to be in front of a large crowd.

Ash: A Pokémon Performance!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Serena then saw Ash and Zee and smiled.

Ash: Uh oh! [smiles and waves back]

That's when she saw herself wearing a clown dress and makeup!

Serena (Pokémon): [gasps]

Audience: [laughing]

Ash: Oh no!

Zee: Poor Serena!

Man: [laughing] This is hilarious!

Serena (Pokémon): Stop it! Stop laughing at me!

Fuseli: [laughing] What a clown!

Ash: Why you little pest [as he and Zee give chase again]! I'll tear you apart!

Once again they gave chase, and they went through Kara's nightmare, which was her being chased by a cowboy cockroach riding on another cockroach.

Kara: AAH! HEEELP!

Finally, they seemed to be at Metropolis High.

Zee: Who are you... you little creep!?

Fuseli: I am the bump in the night. I am the monster under the bed. I am Fuseli, Lord of Night Terrors!

Zee: What, am I supposed to be impressed? Why are you in my friends' dreams?!

Fuseli: Ah-ah-ah~ Nightmares. That's what REAL fun is. Them delicious fears and insecurities to feed off of. [laughs wickedly]

Ash: So you're using your wicked powers to scare the living daylights out of my friends with nightmares?!

Pikachu: [angry] [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!

Fuseli: Ooh, a smart one! And I already know about yours! Your old man! Tsk tsk tsk! Seems he raised a real disappointment of a son! The reason why he's not here is because he wants to stay away from you, ya little weakling!

Before Ash could say anything else, Zee beat him to it, and she was furious!

Zee: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY MAN!

Fuseli: Your man?! Ha! I don't see why you'd be interested in him! He's not even a little bit handsome! A baboon would look better than him! [laughing]

Zee: Why you dirty rotten little pest! I'll tear you apart! Now, Sylveon! Fire a Swift barrage!

Sylveon: [Swift move] SYLVEON!

Fuseli: Nope [runs off]!

Ash and Zee: [as they and their Pokémon ran after him] Come back here, you little pest!

Pikachu: [running] PIKA!

Sylveon: [running] VEON!

Gastly: [running] GASTLY!

That's when they found Jessica in the library.

Zee: [gasps]

Ash: Jess!

Fuseli: This one here, there's a gold mine of fears and insecurities in these types. You just have to dig deep enough.

?: You're not good enough, Jessica Cruz!

Book #1: You're weak!

Book #2: Useless!

Book #3: The Green Lantern Corps made a huge mistake!

Ash: Knock it off! None of those things are true!

Pikachu: [angry] [agreeing] [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!

Fuseli: [laughs] These shelves sound just like my ex.

Zee: Jess! Hang on! [her powers lost as Zatanna casts a failing spell] My powers!

Ash: What did you do to her powers?!

Fuseli: These nightmares belong to me. You ain't got no power here!

Zee grunts angrily as the shelves falls down on her and Ash.

Zee: I have no power here.

Ash: [gasps] Zee, I have an idea!

Zee: What?

Ash: There's still your dream! And in your dream, you have your own rules!

Zee: You're right! [hugs him] Ashykins, you're a genius!

Sylveon: [happy] SYLVEON!

Ash: [giggles]

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Zee: [uses chanting spell as a portal opens and pulls Ash with her]

Fuseli: Where you going? Things were just getting fun. [clicks fingers]

Fuseli was now in Zee's dream.

Fuseli: Ugh, what's this? The "before" on a home makeover show?

Zee: This, my rude little friend, is you making a critical mistake. You see, you're in my dream now. And since I have no fears or insecurities, that means you... have no power. But I DO! [transforms into Zatanna]

Ash: Aura up!

And Ash turned into Aura Guardian!

Fuseli: [mockingly] What, am I supposed to be impressed?

Zatanna: UGH! WHY YOU SLIMY LITTLE...

Sylveon: [angry] VEON!

Gastly: [angry] GAS!

Aura Guardian: Now you're gonna get it! [to Zatanna] [holds out his hand] Ready, my beautiful magician?

Zatanna: [takes his hand] Ready, my aura man!

Soon, they started firing Aura Spheres and magic at the demon, as they chased him around the room.

Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Iron Tail!

Pikachu: [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!

Fuseli: [as it hits him across the face] OOF!

Aura Guardian: Give up, Fuseli! You'll never haunt anyone's dreams ever again!

Pikachu: [cheeks spark] PIKA!

Fuseli: Haunting?! Oh, you flatter me! But I'll admit, I had some help. [snaps his fingers]

Darkrai: [appearing from the shadows] DARKRAI...

Aura Guardian: [gasps] No way! It's Darkrai!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Zatanna: Darkrai?

However, she didn't have her Rotom Phone with her!

Zatanna: Oh, rats! I don't have my Rotom Phone!

Fuseli: [chuckles darkly] Allow me. Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokémon. A Dark type. It chases people and Pokémon from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. And it's right up the Lord of Night Terrors' alley! [laughs]

Aura Guardian: Why is it with you, you dirty rat?!

Fuseli: Why else? It causes nightmares like yours truly! Plus, I was able to mind control it.

Aura Guardian and Zatanna: Mind control?!

Darkrai: [Dark Void move] DARKRAI!

Aura Guardian: Look out! That's Dark Void!

Zatanna: Quick, Sylveon! Dazzling Gleam!

Sylveon: [Dazzling Gleam move] SYLVE...ON!

The Dazzling Gleam overpowered the Dark Void!

Zatanna: Ash, what's Dark Void?!

Aura Guardian: Dark Void is a move that drags a Pokémon into a world of total darkness and puts it to sleep!

Zatanna: [gulps] In other words, avoid it at all costs!

Darkrai: [Dark Void move] DARKRAI!

Sylveon: [hit] VE!

Zatanna: Sylveon!

Sylveon: [falls asleep] SLYVEON...

Zatanna: Oh no!

Darkrai: [Dream Eater move] RAI!

Sylveon: [pained] VEON!

Zatanna: No!

Aura Guardian: That was Dream Eater!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Aura Guardian: Pikachu, Quick Attack!

Pikachu: [Quick Attack move] PIKA!

Darkrai: [hit] DARK!

Aura Guardian: Now, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Darkrai: [electrocuted] DARK!

Fuseli: Speaking as a monster under the bed, you find the most entertaining things under here. [pushes a chest from out of the bed]

Zatanna: [gasps]

Gastly: GAS?

Aura Guardian: What in the...?!

Pikachu: PIKA?

Sylveon: VEON?

Fuseli: What, you didn't know about this? Everyone's afraid of somethin'. Even you. Ooh, someone else magically locked these fears away FOR you. [laughs] [his finger changes to a key, as he unlocks the chest] Very interesting. It's like foreshadowing or something.

That's when dark blue magic appeared from the chest, revealing a ghost version of Zatanna!

Aura Guardian: A ghost version of Zatanna?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Sylveon: VEON?!

Gastly: GAS?!

Zatanna: [gasps, stammers] But that's... me.

Fuseli: Your fear is the funnest kind.

Ghost Zatanna then started firing magic at her!

Zatanna: What... IS this?!

Fuseli: You. You're afraid of yourself... and what your magic might do.

Aura Guardian: Huh?!

Zatanna throws her drawer at "Ghost Zatanna", but knocks it away as Fuseli laughs wickedly.

Fuseli: You're afraid that somewhere deep inside is something dark.

Zatanna: [casting a spell] NO!

Fuseli: Just. Like. HER.

Sylveon: [worried] VEON!

Gastly: [worried] GAS!

"Ghost Zatanna": Crush...!

She then started to fire magic at her forcefield!

Aura Guardian: Back off! [fires an Aura Sphere at her]

"Ghost Zatanna": [catches the Aura Sphere] [changes it] Change...! [fires it back at him]

Aura Guardian: [hit] WAH!

Zatanna: Ash!

"Ghost Zatanna": Repeat...! [fires corrupted Magic Aura Spheres at the Pokémon]

Pikachu: [hit] PIKA!

Sylveon: [hit] SYVLE!

Gastly: [hit] GAS!

Zatanna: Oh no!

Fuseli: So much for... [mimicking] Ooh, I'm Zatanna, I don't have no fears or insecurities. WRONG!

Aura Guardian: [growls] YOU'RE the one that's wrong, Fuseli!

Fuseli: Eh?

Aura Guardian: Just because there's a different type of magic inside of her, doesn't mean it'll turn her evil! It's hers to control! Dark or light! Zatanna is one of the most sweetest, beautiful, and kind-hearted girls there is! She'll NEVER use her magic for evil! BECAUSE I LOVE AND BELIEVE IN HER!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Zatanna: [blushes] Oh, Ash!

Sylveon: [telling Fuseli he's nothing but a disgusting little imp] SYLVE SYLVE SYLVEON SYLVE! [blows raspberry at him]

Fuseli: [angry] You dirty furball! I'll fix you! Get her, Darkrai!

Darkrai: [trying to fight the mind control] DARK... [Dark Pulse move] DARK...RAI!

Sylveon: [scared] SYLVE!

Zatanna: Oh no!

Gastly knew Sylveon was in trouble! After all the times Sylveon's helped it, Gastly knew it had to protect it!

Gastly: [protecting Sylveon] GASTLY!

Gastly ended up taking the hit!

Gastly: [pained] GAS!

Sylveon: VEON?!

Zatanna: Gastly!

Gastly: [withstanding it] GAS...

Suddenly, a bright light overtook Gastly!

Aura Guardian: Gastly's evolving!

Pikachu: PIKA!

And he was right! And it was happening on the outside too, much to Kangaskhan and Sableye's surprise! And in Gastly's place was...

Haunter: HAUNTER!

Pikachu: PIKA!

And he was right! And it was happening on the outside too, much to Kangaskhan and Sableye's surprise! And in Gastly's place was...

Haunter: HAUNTER!

Aura Guardian: It evolved into Haunter!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Zatanna: My sweet Gastly's growing up! I'm so proud!

Haunter: [looks over to her] [smirks] HAUNT!

Zatanna: You're right, Haunter! I... AM NOT... AFRAID! [chanting spell as her force field breaks]

She then started absorbing Ghost Zatanna's magic!

Fuseli: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What do you think you're doing?!

Zatanna: [grunts] You're right, Fuseli! [her eyes look purple] This IS my magic! ALL OF IT! WHAT I KNOW, WHAT I'VE YET TO DISCOVER, GOOD OR BAD, DARK OR LIGHT, IT'S MINE TO DO WITH... AS! I! CHOOSE!

That's when a bright light was casted!

Zatanna: And I CHOOSE... to END YOUR REIGN, LORD OF NIGHT TERRORS! [uses her magic]

Aura Guardian: [uses his Aura] AND WE'LL END IT TOGETHER!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Sylveon: [Moonblast move] SYLVEON!

Haunter: [Night Shade move] HAUNTER!

Aura Guardian and Zatanna: AURA SPHERE OF MAGIC...FINAL STRIKE!

Fuseli: [screaming]

Zatanna: [grabs him] WAKE UP!

It was now morning, and Ash and Zee had completed their mission.

Ash: [gasps] [wakes up] Zee!

Zee: Ash! We did it!

Just as they were about to kiss...

Fuseli: [grunts] Let me go, you little...!

Ash: You!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!

Haunter: [Ice Punch move] HAUN...TER!

Fuseli: OOF!

And the demon was frozen in ice!

Ash: That was Ice Punch!

However, Fuseli's head was sticking out.

Fuseli: Hey! No fair! I'm no popsicle!

Ash: Gastly really evolved!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Sylveon: SYLVE!

Zee: [takes out her Rotom Phone] Indeed!

Zee's Rotom Phone: Haunter, the Gas Pokémon. A Ghost and Poison type, and the evolved form of Gastly. It likes to lurk in the dark and tap shoulders with a gaseous hand. Its touch causes endless shuddering.

Zee: Well done, Haunter! [hugs it] I'm so proud of you!

Haunter: [happy] HAUNTER HAUNT! [licks her] HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT!

Zee: Oh! [laughs]

Darkrai: [appears in front of them] DARKRAI!

Ash: It's Darkrai!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Darkrai: [to Zee] [apologetic] DARK DARK DARKRAI. DARKRAI RAI RAI DARKRAI DARK DARKRAI.

Zee: Oh, don't worry, Darkrai! All is forgiven!

Darkrai: [thanking] [nods its head] DARK. [bidding farewell] DARKRAI! [vanishes]

Zee: Bye, Darkrai!

That's when the girls started to wake up.

Clover: [puts her hands on her face] Thank goodness! I'm not a nerd!

Ash: Welcome back to reality!

Misty: [notices Fuseli] Eww! What is that?!

Zee: Oh! Uh, girls, meet Fuseli... Lord of... well, nothing now. [chuckles nervously] He was causing your nightmares. But don't worry. Outside the dream realm, he's completely, totally, and utterly powerless.

Fuseli: HMPH!

Jessica: So... what do we do with him?

Clover: Oh, we have...

Lita: ...best plan for him!

Clover and Lita: [cracks their knuckles]

Fuseli: Uh oh!

Zee: That won't be necessary! I have a better punishment for him! Maybe something to do with hidden fears and insecurities?

Fuseli: [gulps]

What Zee had in mind for him was to work at Burrito Bucket.

Fuseli: [in uniform] [to customer] That'll be... I don't know, 800 bucks or somethin'.

Swoobat: [slapping him] SWOOBAT!

Fuseli: Ow!

Male Teenager: But, like, it says 49 cents.

Babs: Make sure you're giving our customers the fair prices and quality product they expect from Burrito Bucket. Remember, if you can make it through your six-month quality control audit without any errors, you're eligible for a bonus. That'll sure help with the bills, am I right? And if you can make it to a year, you'll be on the middle management track. Gotta have dreams!

Fuseli: What a nightmare.

Scyther: [taunting him] SCYTHER SCYTHE!

Later on, Ash and the girls were hanging out at the base. Ash was sitting on the couch while Zee was snuggling close to him.

Ash: I'm glad that's over!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Zee: Me too! And I'm sure there won't be anymore nightmares for any of us!

Ash: Yep! Hey, Zee? Can I ask you something?

Zee: Sure! What's up?

Ash: When we were fighting Fuseli, was it true that you were afraid of your magic consuming you?

Zee: Well, sort of!

Ash: Don't worry, Zee! You're one of the most sweetest, kind-hearted, talented, and beautiful girls there is! I know you would never do something like that!

Zee: Thanks, Ashykins! But there's one thing that I'm kinda afraid of too!

Ash: Huh? What's that?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Zee: Losing my number one boyfriend!

Ash: Oh, Zee! I'm not going anywhere! That's a promise!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Zee: I know! But the very thought of it gives me goosebumps!

Ash: Zee, you're talking to the guy who's dealt with both Cyrus AND Lysandre! Nothing's ever gonna keep me down! [kisses her on the lips]

And Zee returned it with passion equal to his!

Ash: I love you, Zee Zee!

Zee: [cuddles Ash] I love you too, [cups his cheek] you handsome son of a gun!

Ash: [blushes] [giggles] Oh, Zee! I'm not that handsome!

Zee: You're handsome in my books, you handsome son of a gun! [kisses his cheek, leaving a lipstick mark] Mwah!

Ash: [blushes] [giggles]

Suddenly, her egg started glowing!

Ash: [gasps] Zee!

Zee: What? [notices her egg] [gasps] My egg! It's hatching! Wh-What should I do?!

Babs: What's going on?!

Ash: Zee's egg is about to hatch!

Jessica: [gasps]

Diana: What a wondrous occasion!

Rotom Dex: I gotta record this!

Soon, the egg had hatched, and the Pokémon revealed to be...

Ralts: RALTS?

Ash: It's a Ralts! It's a Ralts!

Kara: A what?

Rotom Dex: That's my cue! Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon. A Psychic and Fairy type. It is highly attuned to the emotions of people and Pokémon. It hides if it senses hostility.

Zee: Wow! Hi there, Ralts! Nice to meet you!

Ralts: RAL? [happy] RALTS! [wants her to hold it] RALTS RALTS!

Zee: Oh, okay! Come here, little one!

She then took Ralts into her arms, much to its joy.

Ralts: [happy] RALTS!

Zee: You're just a little cutie pie!

Ralts: [happy] RALTS! [hugs her] RAL!

Zee: Oh! [hugs Ralts] I love you too, Ralts! [gasps] You know! I think I'll give you a nickname! How about Airalin?

Ralts: RALTS?

Karen: What does Airalin mean?

Rotom Dex: It is a name that represents innovation, independence, determination, courage, sincerity, activity, energetic, charismatic, ambitious and focused. I think it's more of the charisma that made Zee choose the name!

Ralts: RALTS? [likes the name] RALTS RALTS!

Alex: I think it likes the name!

Diana: Then it's settled! Welcome to the team, Airalin!

Zee: Hold on! [pulls out a PokéBall] To make it official! [taps the PokéBall onto Airalin the Ralts]

Airalin was then sucked in, as the PokéBall shook a couple times. Then there was a successful 'ping', meaning...

Zee's Rotom Phone: Ralts has been registered to your Pokédex!

Zee: Welcome to the team, Airalin!

Ash: Way to go, Zee!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKACHU!

Zee: Thanks, Ashykins! Come on out, Airalin!

Ralts (Airalin): [appearing] RALTS!

Zee: Airalin, you and I are gonna be great friends!

Ralts (Airalin): [jumps into her arms] [hugs her] RALTS!

Zee: Oh! [hugs her back] I love you too, my baby girl!

Ash: Aww, Zee!

Zee: Now, [grabs him by the shoulder] give some love! [kisses him on the lips and makes out with him]

And Ash returned it with equal passion!

Babs, Karen, Alex, and Misty: Aww!

[Recap Time]

Babs: It's recap time!

Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?

[as Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]

Zee: Haunter, Ralts and the Mythical Pokémon, Darkrai!

[as the screen shows Ash and Zee in an open field, overlooking a beautiful sunset]

Zee: You know, Ashykins! I wonder if we'll ever see Darkrai again?

Ash: Who knows! If we do, it might be too soon!

Zee: I hope so, it would become a great addition to the team!

Ash: You have a good point!

Little did they know that the Darkrai was standing up in a tree with its stilt-like appendages as it heard everything and vanished!

[End]

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
