At the summit of Mount Lanakila, Lillie approached the pokemon league and was stopped by a Genesect guarding the door. "Who goes... oh. That pink thing said you would come. Come on in."
The Genesect walked out of the way, letting Lillie in while he stood out in the snow. "For once it is a good thing I can't feel this!"
Lillie traveled to the activated teleporter in the center and went to the crystal throne. She found the four Tapu's looking over Elio and a Shadow Mew, they laid dormant, unresponsive.
Koko shouted out. "Did you bring the Gardevoir?" Lillie was about to cry when she sent out the Gardevoir.
Lele saw the look, signaled the Gardevoir to use a psychic hold and spoke to the girl. "You want to know what happened? Mew turned back into a shadow pokemon, took over the kids mind and used him as a shield while he attempted to kill everyone he cares about. Who knew the kids mother was good at a pokemon battle."
Lillie began to cry as Lele winked to explain more. "Now to the good news! The kid is taking a trip back into his mind! I called a couple guys, who are calling a couple guys to call a guy to make sure this shadow Mew never bothers anyone again!"
Lillie struggled to ask in worry for Elio and the Mew. "What are they going to do to them?"
Lele shrugged. "Nothing directly. The three beings were going contact a couple dragons... who will contact another dragon. Then they call who ever the Mew calls grand pappy. Although since those two dragons are going through the realm of the subconscious, they might need some help since the shadow isn't going to let them in easily."
Lillie had no idea what Lele was talking about when Fini went over to explain. "I called in Lunala and Solgaleo to assist in sending some of the Mew's closest friends to the dream. Who in turn contacted Cresselia... she had Darkrai come along just so he doesn't hurt anyone and help. You know enough people, do you wish for them to go to the Lake of the Sunne?"
Lillie took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down and understand what was being asked. "You are telling me to send Hau and Gladion into another dimension?"
Lele giggled and answered. "Yes! Don't worry this is less dangerous than it sounds. True they will feel every horrible thing that will happen to them. But if they were to die in that realm, they just get sent back out in this one. Then they try again!"
Fini sighed in response. "They are going into a dream created by two gods who have been to places. Lunala would want you to give the final word before sending you into the realm to save... those two."
Lillie looked at Elio and the Mew as Lele's cheerful facade faded. "This is our best and only good chance to save him besides cutting our losses. Bring with you some of your best pokemon for this! Mega evolutions are not a good idea."
Lillie nodded as she whispered to the Gardevoir. "Please... keep them safe." The Gardevoir understood, gave a gracious bow and went to her duty.
As Lillie walked out of the league with newfound determination to save Elio and the Mew, she found her mother shivering out in the snow with a Genesect ready to shoot a techno blast at her. "Blattron stop! Mother, what are you doing here?"
Lusamine explained to her daughter what happened. "I found the man responsible for sending that file as well as what ever happened to that boy. For reasons best not explained, I let the boy's mother make sure he never bothers anyone again when she came rightfully suspicious."
Lillie frowned in disapproval and asked. "Mother... you let her sic that Gengar at him?!"
Lusamine nodded and realizing it may have been a bad idea as she cringed. "Should I have stopped her?"
Lillie was hesitate to give a clear answer. "Elio warned me that the Gengar was not well and tend to be very violent. What ever happened has happened."
Lusamine remembered the hellish roar and shook it out of herself. "Do I need to know what is happening in that building?"
Lillie shook her head. "No mother. I am heading home to let Gladion know something important. You need to stay at home, this shouldn't concern you."
As Lillie called the Charizard to fly off, the Genesect glared at Lusamine and signaled her to leave.
Lillie returned to the mansion and found her brother arguing with Wicke. "I am sorry, but until further notice, you are best to stay out of the labs."
Gladion was frustrated at the vague reason. "It was something Lusamine has done and from what you are saying she went out of control."
Wicke agreed. "What happened, involved who ever was helping Ardos with his scheme earlier and someone else came to do something about it."
Gladion thought of it and gave up on finding the reason. "I still need to ask her what happen..."
Lillie shouted. "Brother there is something we need to do to save Elio and Isaac!"
Gladion saw the look of determination and desperation in Lillie's eyes and asked. "What is it?"
Lillie told her brother what the Tapu told her, Gladion sighed and asked. "This sounds like something Elio would agree with doing, please tell me your joking?"
Lillie shook her head in response "I am going to the Altar of the Moone to find Nebby, if you want to do this tomorrow morning you can."
Gladion took the information to heart, they might as well do something to save Elio and the Mew as soon as possible. "I will call Hau to see how soon we can do this. Do you even know what pokemon the Tapu's were talking about?"
Lillie frowned as she nodded. "Three dragons that exist in another dimension."
Wicke realized what Lillie was talking about and asked. "Miss Lillie, you do know what is going to happen if the three pokemon make it into the dream world... right?"
Lillie froze in realizing the scope and answered. "They would summon the Mews... grand pappy."
Gladion and Wicke realized who Lillie was referring to. The brother spoke his mind about. "It had gotten so bad that they are going to call on a miracle..."
Lillie understood as she and Gladion began to leave. "Sometimes that is what we need."
Wicke whispered. "Please come back safe."
Lillie smiled back before she and her brother left the door. "We will!"
As the siblings exited and flew, Lusamine walked into the manor, confused, shivering.
Wicke noticed and reported. "Madam Lusamine, some of the night shift employee's have filed a complaint about a mess in the labs."
Lusamine groaned in response. "I knew letting that woman deal with him was a bad idea. How bad is it?"
Wicke had a picture of the scene, Lusamine vomited in a basket in response.
With in a hour.
Gladion gave Hau a call to wake up and prepare for a small adventure. Hau already knew something bad happened to Elio and that what ever was planned was the best way to save him. As the two went to the Lake of the Sunne, they found a Solgaleo talking with a Darkrai before the two pokemon noticed the two. The Darkrai took a bow as it remembered Gladion, while the Solgaleo roared in asking the two if they were ready. The two boys nodded nervously; the Darkrai glowed a red hue as the Sogaleo let loose an other worldly roar; his third eye opened.
In a flash of light, Hau and Gladion found something odd. Hau's Raichu and Gladion's ground type Silvally looked larger, the two pokemon were looking at them weird and they found the other person missing.
Hau saw a frowning Riolu, Gladion saw a cheerful Rowlet. "What the... where is Hau?!"
The Rowlet flapped in astonishment at the Riolu. "What the... why do you sound like Gladion?"
As the Rowlet and Riolu realized what happened, the Raichu and Silvally looked around to find out where they were. They were on a floating island surrounded by yellow clouds. Behind them was a platform and a rainbow bridge leading to an island bellow, in front of them was what looked like a blue tower collapsing, with a red swirling vortex above.
The Alolan Raichu broke the silence and looked up the tower. "Guys, I think we are suppose to go up there, I think our trainers have changed a bit!"
The ground type infused Silvally grumbled as he realized what happened. "They were turned into pokemon when they went into this dimension. The one good thing of all of this is that it doesn't feel anything like Ultra Space."
Gladion glared as he looked up the tower. "Suppose to be the realm made from ones subconscious... that of a very powerful pokemon. Sooner we get up there the sooner we can leave!"
As the group walked to the base of the tower, they found a statue that looked like a Kangaskhan, a bag of strange supplies and five blue gears. In the bag was blue orbs, strange seeds, apples, oran berries and technical machines that taught Hau and Gladion some moves.
Upon entering the tower, with the supplies the four pokemon found the place to be a long maze with twist and turns. The pokemon encountered were many and none were friendly; Porygon, Bronzor, Solrock and Lunatone. It was the Porygon that were the worse as they let loose a discharge that attacked the Rowlett and Riolu from anywhere in a room, the others were not any better for Gladion because he was stuck with being a fighting type and while Hau was effective against the Solrock and Lunatone, they had a type advantage of their own. With Silvally and Gladion being the primary front attackers, their strategy for advancing the tower was having the Raichu and Hau attack from afar with energy ball and focus blast. The Riolu tossing spikes at the foes when needed to make Silvally's frontal assault easier.
As they ascended to the higher floors, they found more supplies and accidentally ran into a room with many strange candies, enemy pokemon descended from the ceiling ready to attack. In a panic Hau activated an orb that put the horde to sleep, allowing the group to turn what was ten into a manageable four by the time they awoke. The group themselves were rather silent save for shouting where to go, when they ran into a tough encounter, the many items they found and the traps they tripped over, much to Gladion's annoyance.
Eventually they found themselves in a floor with a signal room and a Kangaskhan statue, as they stopped to think about what was going on or how high up the tower they were, they felt a small rumble. The Silvally barked at the Raichu. "You have any idea where we even are? Gladion and his friend seem to be lost, I have no idea why they are turned into pokemon in the first place and the large amounts of pokemon are getting annoying!"
Gladion looked at the pool of water with Hau and glared at the reflection. "Just my luck."
The Rowlet smiled at the Riolu. "It isn't that bad! I always wanted to know what it was like to be a pokemon."
The Raichu used his psychic powers to sense the tower. "This is a place where time flows! The guy were are suppose to rescue is on the top... going mad as time stopped working. I think those gears we found at the base are needed to fix this."
Gladion sensed something at the top. "You have any idea, because something feels... faint?"
The Raichu sensed more before shaking his head. "It is some blue dragon. That is all I can get, all those seeds and orbs we have gathered are going to be needed just getting to the top of this spire!"
The Riolu posed. "I think I know what we are going up against. Dialga, the Temporal pokemon; so long as he exist... so does time."
The Rowlet flinched as the Raichu thought of it. "That would make sense..."
The tower shook harder, signaling the four to keep moving, the Riolu followed the Silvally barking for the lead. "Looks like a big task, Raichu you get the back!"
In comparison to the floors below, the trip up the spire was much more difficult. The Porygon2 and Porygon-Z that lurked had a habit of speeding themselves up and letting loose a discharge at a rapid pace, they knocked Hau and Gladion out the first time they discovered what was happening and some of the seeds glowed to bring them back up their feet. Among the pokemon encountered, thye found Metagross and Salamence; pokemon that gave even the Raichu and Silvally trouble to take down, the later because none in the group had a type advantage save for hitting them hard. The absolute worse encounter was when they entered a large room with the next stairway and a monster house to block the way; composing of half a dozen Porygon-Z it took the group two orbs to stun the group of pokemon long enough for them to even escape.
As the four ascended, they found themselves at the top of the tower. The sky above them was a dark swirling cloud with lighting crackling all around, in front of them was a device with a red runic glow, five holes looked like something was gouged out. As Hau and Raichu were startled by the red cloud, Gladion and Silvally stared at the device on the pedestal. The Riolu asked. "Think we were suppose to put those gears into this?"
The Silvally nodded. "Yep! Might stop this tower from from falling apart." Silvally signaled Raichu to approach the device with the bag of gears, as he floated lighting struck and caused him to back away.
Darkness surrounded the four as they heard a growl turn into a shout. "SO ITS YOU! YOU SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF TEMPORAL TOWER!"
The four were startled by the name of the place, Gladion shouted to the voice. "We weren't here to destroy anything! We were just here to try and save a friend of ours. Time is kind of limited and..."
The voice interrupted him. "Time..."
In a flash of light, A dark blue dragon with orange markings, metallic parts and an orange diamond on his chest appeared. "YOU DARE BRING RUIN TO THE TOWER!?"
Hau jumped at the sight of Dialga. "No! We were trying to save someone."
Dialga did not listen. "SILENCE! FOR ALL THOSE WHO THREATEN TEMPORAL TOWER! I WILL SHOW NO MERCY!"
As the Dialga roared, the Raichu glowed and sensed a psychic presence. "This is the guy we were suppose to help travel deeper into the dream world! What ever happened to him is causing him to not listen to us!"
Silvally tensed up as he saw the mad Dialga prepare. "If he isn't going to listen, then we might have to beat some sense into him! Are you three ready!" The Rowlet flapped his wings at realization he was about to fight Dialga, Riolu placed one arm below his waist and his other hand toward his face in a dramatic pose as he prepared.
Vs Primal Dialga
Hau grabbed a seed from the bag and tossed it at the Dialga as it began to roar. The seed went into the Dialga's mouth and petrified it, giving the four enough time to get close. The Raichu drank an elixer as Gladion shoved a force palm into the Dialga. As the Silvally tore into the Dialga with ground infused claws, the Dialga began to move again. The Raichu ate a seed and began to prepare for violently attack, Hau danced in vigor in preparing himself. Despite the preparation, none were ready for the Dialga to let loose a loud roar that distorted the very fabric of time.
BOOM!
Raichu, Hau and Gladion were knocked out by the blast before another couple seeds have brought them back on their feet, the Silvally was clenching onto his glass. As the Dialga paused, Hau tossed another stun seed only to miss.
Gladion prepared to endure and Silvally ate an oran berry to heal the damage. "This is much better than what they normally are."
The Dialga raked its metal claws into Gladion; he gritted his teeth in pain as he endured and used reversal to deal significant damage. Hau approached the Dialga as the Raichu shot a focus blast. Silvally tore into the Dialga again with a multi attack and noticed the Dialga was about to roar again.
Hau and Gladion were knocked out by the blast and were brought back by the last of the reviver seeds, Raichu and Silvally were sent flying back to the ground knocked out. Hau rushed into the Dialga like the brave Rowlet he was as Gladion burrowed under ground in an attempt to avoid extra damage. Dialga began to channel ancient power and pelted Hau with the rocks as Gladion burst out of the ground, upper cutting the Dialga and causing it to fall over.
Thump!
Gladion and Hau were breathing heavily as they saw the mad god of time fall in defeat. Both shouted to their pokemon. "Are you okay?"
The Silvally took the bag from the Raichu and tossed it at the duo as the tower began to shake. "HURRY BEFORE THIS TOWER COLLAPSES WITH US IN IT!"
The Rowlet and Riolu rushed to the structure and placed the five gears as lighting struck the tower. The tower shook violently in danger of collapsing with each gear placed. As the final one was inserted the structure began to repair itself and glow blue. Lightning began to strike from all over, the tremors became worse, the four looked around in panic as they questioned why the tower was still falling apart.
The shaking stopped, Dialga's lining began to change from orange, to blue as he came through. "Where... am I?"
Dialga looked around in figuring out where he was. "I was tasked to journey to his dream! When a dark veil came and..."
Dialga looked at the structure and shouted. " I REMEMBER THIS REALM!"
As the four pokemon struggled to ask, Gladion was the one to ask. "What do you even know of this place?"
Dialga looked at the four in apology. " A REALM WHERE THERE IS ONLY POKEMON! WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS BUT A MEMORY OF MINE. YOU HAVE FREED ME FROM THIS MADNESS AND FOR THAT I THANK YOU!"
The Dialga roared as the diamond on its chest glowed. "Return to your realm and reach a place closest to the heavens!"
Hau and Gladion awoke with both them human. They and their pokemon were battered, they saw a Darkrai held on to four green feathers in fear for the worse. He nodded in silence as he saw them awake before he flew. Solgaleo roared in congratulating the two.
Hau whispered. "A place closest to the... Mount Lanakila?!" The Solgaleo nodded before he leaped off into the distance.
Gladion shook his head. "They actually are going to summon that pokemon. Hau, you know that Mew tends to give nicknames to others... right?"
Hau smiled and remembered. "He called me uncle!"
Gladion was tempted to smile. "There is one individual he refers to as grand pappy... you have any idea who that might be?"
Hau shook his head ignorant. "Nope, is the Mew's grand pappy some powerf..."
Hau's eyes widened as Gladion was calling the Charizard. "Yes, we may want to get going."
