A/N: Hey guys Orange planned and written this chapter, and it is kind of all over the place, but this is what we like. You wouldn't believe how long it took him to finally finish this, since he did take so long I'm not giving him his Christmas bonus this year. Also thanks for the 8k views!

No review corner right now, It was getting to long and out of hand. So we are going to rethink how we want it.

Every writer has the ability to make the reader hate a character or love a character quite easily, but a good writer can get you to love and hate a character

~Orange

I woke up, finding myself in the same dream world, but this time, something seemed wrong with the ground: there was some dark black grass growing everywhere.

"Aeon! Why am I here now and what's up with the grass?", I yelled out into the distance to get his attention. The umbreon walked out of the invisible fog with his unusually huge grin this time.

"Well, for two reasons. I want to say sorry and have a nice play session".

I looked at him with a confused expression. "Play session?", I could understand his repeated apologies, but not the play session.

"Well, I wanted to say sorry for all the things I caused and make it up the best way I could, by PLAYING!", at that he ran up to me and tagged me.

"Hahaha, you're it!", he ran, giggling all the way to the black forest... Wait, where did that come from? I soon realised I might lose to Aeon, which my pokêmon side wouldn't like at all. I ran into the forest and once, I turned around to look back at the field, only to see more trees.

"I am really sick of this now!".

"Well you will hate this place once I'm done with it", a deep voice said, "I recommend you run now".

I didn't recognise this voice right away. The tone of the voice... It was very obvious he was warning me to get out of here. As if something, that could endanger my life, was about to happen. But what the voice was saying didn't make sense to me. Once he's done with it? Was he the one who was planning to hurt me?
At first, I thought it was a new trick that Aeon was playing on me. Changing voices was definitely something that I never saw from Aeon. However, the thought of him possibly making me face my fears, just like last time, irritated me to the core. So I ran for my life, assuming the same thing would happen again. I didn't believe him, despite the fact that he promised to me last time to never do such pranks again... Sadly, my running was greatly slowed down because of the immense density of weird black flora around me.
In a moment of panic, I turned around to check out how much Aeon had caught up with me. However, when I turned around, I saw a familiar figure. Somebody, who was very dear to me. Somebody, who took care of me my entire childhood. Somebody, who had left me not a long time ago... It was my dad.

Joy overcame me the moment I saw my parent. He was in the same clothes as when he said his final goodbye to me before his trip.

"Dad...dad I-", I started to whimper at the sight of my dead father. But his reply surprised me a lot.

"Quiet you!", I just stared at him in complete shock. Even when he was mad, he would never say anything like that.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?", I desperately asked. I was lost about the sudden change of his attitude. This didn't sound like him. The next reply shocked me even more.
"You are not my son, you're a beast, beasts are meant to be left in the woods to rot", he replied with a grimace.

I stared at him dumbfounded," D-d-dad...".

"I said don't talk to me, you monster!".

The way he talked to me... the word he so obviously chose... beast... A word that pierced my heart. I began to cry at these words.

"A pathetic beast. Go to where you belong!" I just became depressed at that statement, my tail started glowing due to that.

"Sora! Don't listen to that fake!", suddenly, an identical voiced exclaimed. But the voice wasn't coming from my 'dad'. I started looking around, searching for the source of the new voice.

"You were quicker than I thought", my dad said, his tone changed as he looked up to the sky to notice that the second voice was actually coming from there.

"Sora, it's not real! Don't listen to him!", the voice said again. I tried my best to figure out who this voice reminded me of, but when I tried to think about it, I came up blank.

"You're not supposed to interfere. Begone!", Dad exclaimed as a light flashed in the sky. A huge thunder was heard in the distance, and I heard no more of the second voice. This must be my dad's doing, I thought. My attention went back to my dad. I was fearing him, never before has he acted like this.

"Well, I guess we need to try something else...", dad raised his arms and shot dark fog towards me, I tried to get away but it was too quick as it surrounded me.

As the darkness lifted I found myself walking alone in a forest late at night, scary noises could be heard all around me. It remind me of when I was six when Tom and I went to play in the woods without Mark and Marry's permission, I got lost in the forest for two days before they found me. I was so scared that I wished someone would just come and save me.

I heard an angry growl come from around me in the darkness, I jumped from the sound of it and turned around, backing off slowly, "Hello? Who's there?", I asked to the dark woods but was only responded with another growl, which only made me back of faster, "Don't hurt me!", I exclaimed, the growling got louder and I turned around and legged it. I pushed passed bushes and tree branches, making my way through the unknown trying to get away from what was chasing me. I could hear the sounds of paws running through dirt behind me, it was still after me. I ran so much that I couldn't keep my balance anymore as I tumbled to the ground face planting the dirt, I quickly got up and turned around waiting for the end as I couldn't outrun it anymore. But nothing came.

"Sora", I heard a familiar voice behind me, as I turned around my dad was standing there, "I will protect you".

"But... you can't... you're dead...", I slowly muttered to him.

"If I was dead then how could I be here. I heard you got lost so I came to find you", Dad told me. What he said didn't make sense but my mind was clouded I didn't know what was going on. He raised his hand towards me and held it out, waiting for me to grab it, "Let me help".

"Dad...?", he sound like his normal self, his voice sounded warming and kind, but I felt like something was still wrong.

"It will be fine. Grab my hand and open your mind, and everything will be over", he said. I was speechless and didn't know what to do. He was my dad and I didn't want to make him angry, I slowly walked over to him and raised my hand ready to grab his, "Yes, just like that. Open your mind and be safe", he said as I continued to make my way over ready to grab it.

"Sora stop!", a voice yelled out, I instantly pulled my hand away from my dad, looking around for this mysterious voice.

"Not you again! Why don't you just stay back!", dad yelled out to the sky again.

"Who's there?!", I shouted as well, this voice sounded so familiar to me but I couldn't figure out who it was. Dad smiled at my comment.

"See he doesn't even know who you are, why don't you just leave him alone".

"That was your doing! You are clouding his mind! I will not let you do this!", the voice again spoke out, I looked over to my dad and backed off. I knew something was different and I still don't know what's going on, but I know that something's wrong.

"You have no power here", dad continue to scare me.

"Really? Well then let me prove you wrong", the voice in the sky said before a flash of light went over the sky and dad disappeared, it wasn't long before the light was back and it engulfed me.

I was watching my younger self while he was on a bike with training wheels on, the younger version of Tom was talking to the old me, I couldn't quite hear them so I walked a bit closer listen.

My father walked out and I flinched at the sight of him until I realised the old me ran up to him and started talking to him a mile a minute which I couldn't even understood.

"Alright you want to learn to ride without training wheels, you wanna learn right now?'.

"Yeah! I wanna be like Tom and ride without training wheels!", the old me said wit huge excitement lacing his voice.

Wait I remember this, I remember this, this is when dad taught me how to ride without training wheels.

"So let's get you up on that bike little man", he grabs the old me and places me on the bike and hold me tight, then I began to peddle, "Okay my son, I'm going to let go now", dad let go of my old self and I was still pedaling and keeping my balance.

"Dad I'm doing it", I exclaimed happily.

"Well done Sora", my old self stopped pedaling and got off the bike, running over to dad and hugged him.

I was very happy to see this memory, then I turned around and saw a dark portal was sucking me into of it.

When I came out of the portal I was in a much darker place, it looked as like I was stuck in a cage, then the lights flickered on and a scientist walked in with two grunts from Team Horizon we beat a while ago.

"Will you two grab our subject and bring him into the observation deck, I wish for him to see something", I looked at him curiously until the two grunts dragged me and carried me with them.

We came to a room with a huge glass wall looking over what looked like a stadium for holding pokemon battles.

"What's going on?", I asked trying to get some information out of them. They didn't say anything back to me but push me closer to the big window. The scientist pressed a button on the wall and I could see that two doors opened down below. I looked down and saw a number of Mightyena walk out from the left door, from what I could count it was about two of them. From the door on my right I saw a Charmeleon walk onto the battlefield, I knew straight away it was my pokemon, it was Coal. He looked around and saw the window that I was behind and had his eyes wide open as he saw me. Coal started to yell things at me but I couldn't hear him through the window.

The scientist pressed a button and the two mightyena began to attack Coal. I tried to break the glass and save him, but the glass seemed to thick.

"Hey cut that out kid we wanna see the action!", one of the grunts said, I looked back to see Coal Pinned down by one of the Mightyena struggling to get up, but it was all for naught. So second one came up near him and finished him off biting down hard on his neck before I watched them rip him apart and devouring him, I looked behind me to attack the evil people who did it to see the scientist looming over me.

"You think you can fight it, but just give up", and with that I was sucked into a black portal, "Not again!", I heard the scientist shout out before everything started to change.

I was standing near a bed in a small room, I knew what this room was, it was Tom's bedroom back home. The small room had light blue walls, metal framed single bed with black sheets with thin silver lines on it. It had a dark wooden desk in the corner where some paper was scattered over it and a window overlooking Pallet town, Two doors, one leading to the hallway and the other to the cupboard. His room was sort of like mine but with a different feel to it.

"Tom! Hurry up! It's almost time!", I heard a voice coming from down the hall, it sounded very familiar, it sounded like me.

'That's me... but if I remember correctly then", My attention drew to the bed, I didn't notice it before when I was looking around but now it stands out like a sore thumb, it was a pokemon egg, not just any egg but the one Luna hatched from. The egg was glowing on and off for awhile now and the fact I didn't see it was amazing.

"Come on!", heard myself yell out again with the door to Tom's bedroom swinging wide open, with me and Tom running in stopping short of the bed looking at it glow. It was weird to see what I looked like three years ago, Tom as well. Shows me that I really didn't change my outfit the whole time.

"Wow, my very first pokemon", Tom sat on the bed next to the glowing egg looking at it with awe, my younger self was doing the same, but was standing up.

"When will Mum and Dad get home?", Tom asked my other self.

"Not for another hour, but it will-", my younger self was cut off as the egg started to glow constantly with it getting stronger.

"It's time!", Tom exclaimed, backing off from the egg slightly giving the new pokemon room. The glow got so intense that everyone had to shield their eyes, even I had to. When the glowing stopped we all opened our eyes and look to the bed. Where the egg once was laid a baby Eevee, the one that will be Luna.

"He's... so cute!", my younger self softly shouted, trying not to disturb the newly hatched pokemon.

"She", Tom added correcting what I just said.

"You can tell?", young me asked, looking rather wide eyed.

"I just know, she is my pokemon after all", Tom scooped up the small Eevee and cradle her in his arms, she opened her eyes with the movement, I had no idea if she could see anything yet but she was the cutest little furball I had ever seen. That was until she started to whine and cry, making a horrible racket.

"Ah! Can you make her stop?", my younger self asked, holding his ears to block out some of the noise.

"I don't know what she wants! This is why I wanted Mum and Dad here", Tom replied.

"Let's find out what it is before I go deaf!", I ran out of the room with Tom joining me holding the baby Eevee close. This was a good day, I remember we tried our best to figure out what she wanted and it took Marry to find out that she wanted some attention,testingCheatsenabledtrue to be scratched behind the ear. The day I met Luna was a great one, one of my best memories. Something I won't soon forget.

"Enough of this! Time for a change of scenery", I heard a dark strong voice echo in my head. The walls started to shake and turn to darkness. The room did the same and came down on me taking me from the memory and into another.

My head was in my arms, leaning on a bed, I was crying heavily. I feel like I was dying inside, that something was missing from my life. I raised my head and looked around. I was in Tom's room but something was different, the look was the same but the feel of the room was dark and saddening. This setting was too familiar to me as I looked to the bed to confirm my suspicions. I found Tom in his bed with a coolpack on his head trying to keep his temperature down. I knew what this was. When I was eight, Tom fell sick, no doctors could figure out what was wrong with him, he was like this for over two weeks and wasn't getting much better, I rarely left his room when I was home, I was forced to go to school.

"Tom...", I cried again, fearing that my brother is like this, but I felt like I been through this before, as I tried to think of that last time however I drew a blank, "Tom... please get better please", I begged for his health to return but nothing happend, after two weeks you start to lose hope, but Tom was strong, I knew he could make it, but I thought this on day one, and my belief was running short.

"Sora", a voice sounded behind me, I jumped from the sudden noise.

As I turned around, a saddened Marry behind me, probably from crying. She walked up to me. I knew what was coming next she would tell me that he might not get better, but I knew better. I didn't know how but I was slowly remembering how this will all turn out, like I lived this before. Then it hit me that this is just a dream, I knew how this will end. He would be just fine.

"Good job Sora, now keep positive!", then it all went to black.

I was warped again, but to a place that is completely different from the places in Kanto. Then I saw Luna sitting at a small little chair then looked at myself to find I'm full umbreon.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me...", I said in the pokemon tongue.

"Yeah I know, who would think waiters would take so long. This is one of the best restaurants that pokemon are permitted in Luminose city", Luna began speaking to me.

I just stared at her dumbfounded, I have heard of Luminose, but what are we doing here?

"Um... Sora you are staring at me again...", after that my cheeks went red and my rings glowed in embarrassment.

"Uhh...sorry", I looked away, an all too familiar feeling went through my body.

"Oh look, here comes the food!", I looked at the approaching ambipom wearing a waiter's uniform carrying two plates of food on his tails.

"Here you go. Two meals for the happy couple", and he put the plates on the table. The food smelled delicious and it looked like a form of bouillabaisse made with pokemon taste buds in mind, It had a small shellder stacked upon some magikarp meat, in an orange soupy form. Next to that was a poffin baguette with a side of vegatable and gogoat soup.

I dug in until Luna interrupted me.

"Sora... Thank you for taking me to this beautiful place known as Kalos, I love the food, the people and even the huge bustling cities", I stared at her and smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me-".

I was interrupted when she licked my furry face. It felt weird and relaxing, again I felt that feeling. But before I could figure it out I got sucked into the dark portal once more.

I came out into a cage once again but this one was different, it seem to looked like test tables to hold humans down to do horrible experiments and torturing them. I could see Team Horizon grunts carrying over Tom and Tabatha over to the table and strapping them in, I couldn't really see them on the table from my vantage point but I could still hear their screams of fear. A scientist walked over to me and began to talk.

"We're gonna give your friends over there the same thing you have. But faster, much faster", he said to me, I was shocked and scared about what would happen.

"No you can't!", I cried out but they weren't listening to me. 'How could they do this to them...'.

The scientist walked over to them and injected them with the purple liquid. I could hear their screams from the pain of bones and organs shifting, body parts appearing and disappearing. Their screams becoming hisses and howling until it all stopped.

The scientist began to speak, "Now would you like to see your friends", he said to me with an evil smirk. I wanted to see them, I wanted to tell them it will be alright that everything will be fine. The grunts unstrapped the my friends from the table, they hoped off the tables and came over to me. I could see what they were turned into, Tom was now an ekans and Tabatha a Absol.

"Tom! Tabatha! Are you okay?", but I barely got a response out of them, the only real thing I got was a hiss and a growl which wasn't like them, this made me fear the worse.

"Now will you two take care of this failure", the scientist opened the cage door and exposed me to my friends, they slowly approached me making noises and showing teeth, these weren't my friends anymore. They lunged at me ready to kill me without thinking, until I fell through the floor into a portal, saving me from that dream but taking me to another.

I looked around to find I was in a forest, I looked to find it was the scene when I first met Pulse and Dash. Then I was teleported to when I attacked Coal. I felt real bad about being here then I was rapidly transported again. This time when I had an okay birthday, which is incredibly rare. Then again to when team Horizon injected me with the virus.

It became so fast changing that I couldn't even tell what was going on, then even faster where I only saw a blur of colors until the dreamscape broke like glass to find I was in a black battlefield to find Aeon fighting a Hypno. It had a somewhat human shape appearance, but yellow with a snout. It was carrying a stone pendulum and had a white collar like fur on its neck. They looked like they were in a psychic battle.

"Aeon...?", I struggled to talk, I was holding my head from the strain I just went through, so many memories and visions can have it's toll. Aeon didn't respond to me, but was too focused on the other pokemon.

"You will not do anymore harm to his mind!", Aeon shouted to the Hypno, still battling it out, his rings on his body glowing bright and his eyes also have a faint glow.

"You can't beat me! You may be a Dark-type but I'm still too skilled to be ignored!", The Hypno responded. I was piecing everything together, this Hypno has been in my head showing me all these bad events, trying to weaken my will.

"Hey!", I shouted to the Hypno, I got up and slowly made my way to Aeons side, "You've been the one that's screwing with my mind!".

"Yes. It's been a load of fun. But it's time to finish what I started".

"Who are you!", I demanded.

"I would show you. But your friend here is blocking your mind. I'm part of Team Horizon, tasked to bring you back, and in two minutes I will break your friend, then you", Hypno snicked over his plan, but now that I know what's going on, I'm not going to let Team Horizon get to me.

"Aeon, how are you fairing?".

"To be honest... I've been better", Aeon sounded like he was in pain, under the strain of mental attacks, "I... can't keep this up much longer... he's too strong...", Aeon has done a great job in preventing the Hypno from breaking me, but he was reaching his peak.

"Aeon... how can I help?".

"You can't do anything. You're fighting a losing battle", Hypno commented, my anger was reaching its boiling point. I heard growls next to me, I looked down and I could see that Aeon was struggling to even keep on his four legs. I couldn't watch Aeon like this, we was using his own mind to help protect mine, this is where I snapped.

"That's enough!", I shouted, you could feel the void that we were in shake. I could feel new powers, although Aeon's mind is too preoccupied to help lend any knowledge, but this was my mind, this is my world, and I'm in control no matter how strong this Hypno was. My rings started to glow bright as well as my eye, I sort of looked like Aeon but less like a pokemon,"You're not welcome here! Leave now!", I felt this power flow through me, it was very unsettling but it felt powerful. A shock wave left me and headed to the Hypno before impacting him, "You can't hold both of us off".

"How... I scanned your mind... you didn't have this power before!", I could hear it in his voice that he was struggling to keep us back.

"A little warning for next time. Try this again and I won't just evict you from my mind, I will break yours. Now... go!", I shouted one last time at the weak Hypno before sending one last burst of power to him, knocking him out of my mind. I collapsed to the floor along with Aeon, both of us were breathing heavily. I took a look at Aeon, he was laying on the ground legs spread out like he is taking a break after running a marathon. I chuckled at the sight.

"You know Aeon, you really do look cute", I told in between breaths. He tried his best to look up at me, but struggled to even move his head.

"You're one to talk. You will look like me someday", he answered back, also talking between breaths. I chuckled again thinking about it.

"Yeah I guess that's true. At least I will be a cute pokemon", I replied, thinking about becoming a pokemon didn't really affect me that much anymore, I was actually starting to get used to the idea. I didn't know if this was good but I would only find out in time. I moved on from happy thoughts and comments and thought about what just happened, "Aeon. Thank you".

"For what?".

"For saving me. You thought back the Hypno to save me. You also showed me good memories to help ease the strain it was doing to my mind. Thank you", I moved my hand and patted Aeon on the head, the whole time I've known him I never actually sat down with him like this and just talked, or touch him, I had no idea if he liked it but I know I would.

"It was only because your mind was already strong that help keep you intact. I only helped relieve some of the strain", Aeon said between breaths and from the comfort and enjoyment he was getting from being patted.

"Let's agree that we both fended off the Hypno and leave it at that?", I asked.

"Sure", Aeon replied, I finally stopped patting Aeon, he seemed annoyed that I stopped but I had other concerns.

"So. When will I be getting up?", I was still asleep this much I knew, but after everything that happened how long will it be till I get up.

"Your mind took quite the beating, not to mention me. It will be sometime before you wake up".

"Well how long will it take?".

"I don't know, a week or two, maybe more. Hypno almost got to you, you know", I thought about it and my head was still pounding from everything that happened, but spending weeks asleep didn't sound good. But there was no choice in the matter.

"Wait. If I'm asleep for two or so weeks then that means-".

"Yeah, you're going to have one painful change when you get up", Aeon interrupted me and finished my thought. I knew this was going to happen as I let out a sigh.

"Well, what do we do in the meantime?", I asked the Umbreon next to me.

"Well, we could always talk".

"Yeah that's going to be a great conversation. No it's fine", I said turning myself around and lying down on the ground so me and Aeon where head level.

"Sora", Aeon said.

"Yeah?".

"You look cute also", I looked over to him and he had that certain smirk on his face. I chuckled from the sight.

"It's just things to come", I told him looking back up to the darkness above us, "Let's see what's next".
