After Elio heard the whisper, he saw only darkness. He heard his mother telling him to stop something, he was afraid of what was happening as he felt his body move against his will. He was unable to do anything least of all see what he was doing, then he felt a small bump. As his vision cleared, he found himself on a familiar beach, with a clear blue sky and only the sound of a wave.

Elio thought to himself. "This place again, I need to figure out what is happening."

Elio looked up to the distant tree and nodded to himself. "Same as last time I guess."

As Elio walked through the forest, he began to feel alone, without any pokemon by his side and only the sound of twigs he felt vulnerable. At the old relic, he found traces of the battle still fresh to him, with the words "Crush, Ruin, Kill."

Elio felt uneasy until he saw a familiar face, a wandering Mimikyu that recognized him. "Lost?"

She leaped into his arms, like she had recently began to search for him. Elio whispered. "Sorry I haven't been here in what seemed like a whil..." The Mimikyu looked confused at Elio's apology.

Elio looked around. "Are you telling me it seemed like minutes to you?"

The Mimikyu nodded as Elio asked. "You know where Embey and Manny are?"

The Mimikyu leaped out of the boys arms and guided him toward a familiar creek. A Slaking was loafing around eating a berry with a much larger Larvesta eating leaves.

Elio greeted the two pokemon who were as happy to see him as the Mimikyu. "I get up the tree and try to wake up again? I haven't seen anyone else save for Lost, so do you know anyone else here?"

The Slaking shrugged at the answer and signaled that he did not know. The Larvesta began to glow as he went into a cocoon of flame to evolve into a Volcarona, faint hearts were seen in the dream as the moth began to flicker ember scales.

Elio embraced the three pokemon as a voice echoed from around them. "Hello, you guessed why your here again?"

Elio recognized the voice and answered. "Isaac started turning dark then everything was out like a light. I couldn't see anything... nor stop what ever I was doing... but I heard what was going on. Someone stopped me before I hurt someone?"

Tapu Lele appeared and winked at the trainer. "You got it! While you do have to go up that tree, doctor Lele recommends you stay put and look around! Give your girlfriend enough time to get things ready."

Elio grinned nervously and blushed. "Once again, Lillie is saving my butt."

Lele giggled at what the boy was feeling. "You only need to find one more pokemon that is in this place, try getting her to come along."

Elio remembered one pokemon he named in the dream world before. "Quenclag?"

Lele nodded back. "Don't worry you are not having to deal with poison damage, giant rocks or constantly having to make leaps of faith. Got to go back out and keep you two contained. See you in a little bit!"

At the side of the river was a small walk way leading down to a cave entrance, Elio signaled the group to follow. "Okay, lets get our team ready."

As they descended into the cave, they found nothing to really battle in comparison to the first trip to the dream world. Elio sighed in boredom until he heard a battle happen in a cavernous room ahead. A Nihilego shot a rock gem at an Araquanid and was struck back by a watery appendage.

Elio shouted at the two. "Quenclag! Krell! What are you two doing down here?"

The Nihilego pointed at the remains of a balloon. T

he Araquanid pointed at the Nihilego and out the way Elio came from, the boy got between the two. "You two knock it off! I am back in the dream world and I need some pokemon to help with what ever is in the tree."

The Nihilego flinched and began to back away in a faint shriek, Elio nodded back. "Yes, down the stairs. Anything you know I need to worry about?"

The Nihilego gave Elio a Griseous Orb and tried to float away, the boy frowned. "Are you going to actually help with this or not?"

The Nihilego turned back toward Elio as it pressed its two tentacles together, nervously answering something; Elio asked. "Your scared of what this thing means... or what you might have to fight it? I let Lost deal with it instead."

The Nihilego shrieked louder as if it was trying to warn him of something. Elio kept a glare. "I am still going to take the down stairs route and your not going to stop me!"

The Nihilego began to make a shriek as if it tried to argue, Elio shook his head in defeat as he signaled the Araquanid to follow and prepared to leave.

As they exited the cave the Nihilego followed and stared as if it was trying to say. "I am not joining you guys because I like you!"

Elio grinned as his group followed him back to the creek, he decided to head to the tree. With a larger party, he felt confident that they would face what ever nightmares awaited them.

As they approached the base of the tree, everything felt strange to him. No one besides the pokemon he brought with him, silence was all around until a voice boomed. "Hold it right there, it hasn't even been an hour!"

Elio nodded as he replied. "I know! I have the idea that what I am looking for. It is almost exactly like last time except once I get past the Ultra Space room, I go down stairs. I am going to wait in there until you give the final word."

Tapu Lele appeared again on hearing the words and saw the Nihilego before shaking her head. "And I thought you were going to help the Araquanid defeat that thing. Since this one is part of the dream and not an actual Ultra Beast, I am going to give it a pass. You can stay and wait, you have the materials needed to go down... but you really don't want to be in that part of the dream longer than needed. There is a short cut if you have the Volcarona light up the bonfire."

Elio grinned nervously in response. "Awfully nice of you to be telling me this."

The Tapu giggled. "Your needed for the Renegade to be summoned into the dream world. No sense for you to go insane before things are ready, and you realize your going into a place that has been the Mew's nightmare for... a while!"

Elio froze at the mention of the word Renegade. "Wait, are you telling me I am going to have an encounter with Giratina?!"

Lele disappeared as she answered. "The road to him is going to be the worse part! Hope you have those five ready!"

As Elio and his group ascended toward where he fought the Totem Volcarona, he whispered. "Okay Embey... light the flame!"

The Volcarona blew its wings as the group of six prepared to sit down, in a heated haze, they found themselves in a strange cave resembling Ultra Deep Sea. Elio looked at the stairs leading down, it pulsed a dark aura and beckoned him to go before he shook his head and looked away.

As he sat down, he thought to himself. "I really hope Lillie and the others are okay."

The Mimikyu, Slaking, Volcarona and Araquanid went to comfort him.

The Nihilego nodded in the distance trying to reassure that he should not worry. (Not much for us to really do but wait.)

It felt like an hour had passed as stilled silence filled the room.

The Nihilego hovered toward the stairs down, leading to an abyss.

Elio asked her. "Okay, what was actually down there? You seem to have an idea of what is going on."

The Nihilego moved back at unnerving speed and pointed to Elio, telling him to think about it.

Elio frowned. "Does it have anything to do with something bad happening to Isaac?"

The Nihilego nodded.

Elio frowned sharper. "Does it have something to do with how he became insane?"

The Nihilego raised a tentacle, signaling Elio that his guess was close to the truth and whispered like a child giving clear instructions. (It is more the day the Mew lost his soul then when he lost his mind!)

Elio gritted his teeth at the thought. "Is it when they turned him into a shadow pokemon?"

The Nihilego nodded, (Close enough!)

Elio glared at the stairway in absolute hatred. "Oh boy the things I can get away with in this world. The plan for anything that gets in our way down there... don't hold back!"

The Slaking distorted itself into a black fured, horned form at what Elio was suggesting.

The boy nodded with approval. "These guys showed no mercy to these pokemon... why would we give any to them."

The Nihilego began to approach Elio before he raised his hand in disapproval. "No Krell, we are not going that far."

The Nihilego looked in astonishment and handed him a Ghostnium Z. It argued that it wasn't going to do what Elio thought it was going to do and muttered a low growl. (Dummy!)

A small ring was heard from around the group. "Okay, those three are about done. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

As the group descended down the stairs, Elio found himself to be in what looked like a lab that was being used. He heard distant screams and gritted his teeth more as he signaled the Slaking to lead the way.

As they went to the next room, he found a group of Cipher scientist working on the creation of more shadow pokemon, Elio whispered to the Slaking in hatred. "Manny...get rid of them!"

The scientists did not have time to react as the horned Slaking roared, swatted, crushed and slammed them into the ground. The scientist evaporated in black smoke as more peons began to rush in , Elio glared as the group began to attack. The Mimikyu slashed with a shadow claw, the Araquanid swatted with liquidation, the Nihilego shook in fear at to what it was seeing as Elio asked with tears of rage. "This was why you tried to keep me from going down here, you knew this would bother me?"

The Nihilego nodded as the room was cleared and the peons disappeared in smoke. The smoke escaped to the rooms as the group followed to another unpleasant sight.

Several machines working with some coffins, a Magmortar, Staraptor and Electivire were in the center. Twitching, screaming, crying as several scientist's over looking the procedure; Elio glared as he shouted to the Volcarona. "EMBEY BURN THESE MONSTERS, NOW!"

The Cipher scientist were startled by the shout and saw the Volcarona blow an intense heat wave, reducing them to ashes before they could respond. Elio pointed to the generators feeding power into the coffins and shouted. "KRELL USE POWER GEM ON THAT BATTERY!"

The Nihilego did not hesitate as it shot the machines, powering the coffins down and releasing the three pokemon. A green light enveloped the three to dispel the dark and teleported them away from the lab.

The Nihilego found a map on a desk and handed over to Elio. The group read as they saw several directions to the labs, directing to more rooms creating shadow pokemon.

Elio went stoic and thought. "We need to explore more of these labs and see that these machines are destroyed. I don't care what you do to these Cipher scum, just as long as they are all gone!" As the group stormed the labs, many of Ciphers forces that stood in their way faltered from the combined attacks, Elio was in tears, his heart racing; the one relief he felt was with each room they entered, they were able to free the pokemon in unimaginable pain. H

is anger risen to where he attacked with his pokemon, until they cleared the entire lab and found a generator powering the entire place, Elio posed like a rising ghost and shouted. "LOST, NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE!" As the generator was dragged into the void by shadowy tendrils, the void erupted, annihilating the generator. The lab itself grew dark as red arrows began to point the way to what looked like a red glowing door.

Elio walked in to find two familiar faces working on a Mew in a coffin, howling in pain. Ein was arguing with Frankas over if the modifications were needed. "It would make it more powerful... but would we still be able to control it?"

The man in the purple lab coat glared at his partner as he turned a machine on. "That is why Ardos hired me, to see how far we can go with this and make a name for ourselves!"

Ein shrugged dismissively. "Your a fool to even think of these modifications. But I have idea's of my own!"

Elio glared at both as he shouted to his pokemon. "KILL THESE TWO NOW!"

Ein rushed to a machine and pressed a button to rise up a protective glass as the room distorted Frankas into a horned creature with electrical wings. Elio shouted louder. "KRELL USE POWER GEM! MANNY, LOST, USE SHADOW CLAW! EMBEY USE QUIVER DANCE AND GET READY! QUENCLAG USE LIQUIDATION! FOCUS THAT DEMON DOWN!" As the creature was struck repeatedly, he shot a charged shot at the abyssal Slaking.

The Slaking retaliated and let loose a dark wave as Elio shouted to the dancing Volcarona. "EMBEY USE BUG BUZZ ON EIN!"

The glass shattered from the noise as the Cipher admin began to twitch and disappeared in a puff of black smoke. It was drawn toward the Mew inside. The Nihilego shot a power gem at Frankas, giving the Slaking the opening to give Frankas the longest beat down Elio had approved of watching.

As the Cipher scientist layed battered, he evaporated in black smoke, Elio whispered. "Good work all of you! Now let us bust Isaac out of..."

The Mew's eyes glowed red as a dark aura erupted from the large coffin, causing a storm to erupt and sent the group scattering. The Mimikyu's disguise fell as it began to use shadow claw, the Araquanid bit into the Mew to heal itself, the Nihilego shot a power gem, the Slaking used shadow claw and Volcarona used bug buzz. The shadow Mew transformed into a horned Slaking and lunged at the other Slaking. As the abyssal Slaking received damage, he fell on his knees before the Volcarona knocked the impostor out with a heat wave.

The impostor Slaking reverted back to a Mew and let loose a shadow panic as it shrieked into Elio's head. The Nihilego shrieked in rage and hurled a sludge bomb to the Mew before it transformed into a Volcarona. It let loose a bug buzz at the Slaking, as Elio ordered. "QUENCLAG USE LIQUIDATION!"

The Araquanid knock the imposter Volcarona back, the Mew returned to original form and let loose a shadow psychic at the Nihilego. Elio ordered with the Slaking preparing. "MANNY USE RETURN!" The Slaking punched the the shadow Mew; it transformed a Mimikyu.

Elio was panting. "EMBEY BUG BUZZ THAT DISGUISE, LOST SHADOW CLAW! The Volcarona buzzed the disguise down, the impostor used shadow claw as a counter at the Volcarona, slamming him to the desk as the Mimikyu clawed back and caused the form to return to a shadow mew.

The Mew used shadow half on the Araquanid to reduce it's health to half and took on the form of the Araquanid. Elio ordered. "KRELL USE ROCK GEM!" ,The Nihilego shot a power gem to knock out the form in record speed.

The shadow Mew collapsed on the ground as it began to laugh maniacally, it leaped to the ceiling and transformed into a Nihilego that began to shoot beams at the group, the Slaking nodded to Araquanid to prepare. The Araquanid began to use wide guard to shield the party from the next attack, the Slaking used earthquake to knock the impostor ultra beast out. The impostor fell on the ground as it reverted back to a Mew, thrashing as green light began to envelope it. As the dark was dispelled, the Mew calmed down, Elio attempted to pick up the Mew; it meowed faintly and was teleported away.

Elio and his group of pokemon felt silence fill the labs as it slowly began to disintegrate. Elio was breathing heavily and was about to cry. The Mimikyu approached to comfort him, followed by the Volcarona and Araquanid; the Nihilego noticed a doorway not like what he seen in the lab and the Slaking growled to the group to follow.

Elio was shaking as he got up, the Araquanid did not dare to let him walk on his own and let him lean on her. Elio was still breathing heavily and whispered. "Hopefully this will take us out of here!"

Past the door was an old stone temple with two statues, one looked like a quadrupled dragon with a diamond on its chest, the other a bipedal dragon with pearls on its shoulders.

Elio calmed down as he got off the Araquanid as he saw a ruined statue and prepared the Griscious orb. "This has to be where the orb goes."

He placed the Griscious orb on the pedestal. The statue collapsed; the five pokemon backed away as a shadow began to form two red eyes glowed in noticing them.

Elio stared in determination. "Your the pokemon I was suppose to meet down here? If I have to fight you, bring it on!" As Elio boasted, a creature began to crawl out of the hole, using six red spikes as crawlers.

Elio knew what pokemon this is and kept talking. "To be honest I am a little terrified of this battle! But I have to do this to save Isaac!" The crawlers formed into ectoplasmic wings upon hearing what was heard and made a slight screech. The Mimikyu repaired her disguise and stepped forward to Elio's side, with the others following as the room began to distort.

A small voice echoed in the room. "Your not fighting him in that tiny room you know. Just ask for help before it gets worse!"

Elio nodded. "Giratina, would you help us save Mew?"

Lele's voice echoed on hearing the words. "That is better. You better get ready for this trip though, this is a one way ticket to Giratina's memories!"

Giratina reared its wings in preparation.

Elio was nervous. "So... this is going to hurt?"

A giggle was heard. "To be fair the last person that did this didn't even try to figure out who he was talking down on. The trips are never gent..."

The six heard a screech as the wings enveloped them.

Elio and his five pokemon woke up to find themselves in a strange location. Several patches of land hovered over an abyss, some tilted sideways. One platform carried them downward toward the islands below. As they traveled, they found nothing of note save for boulders to be pushed down holes by the Slaking. Tree's that looked out of place and rocks that sometimes disappear on approaching them. The Mimikyu jumped and landed on a side way island, signaling the others to follow. Frequently they felt like something was watching them.

Eventually they ended up on an island that was upside down. A disk was seen and faded as the Araquanid offered Elio and the Mimikyu a ride across a river flowing upside down. The Slaking swam behind them, the Volcarona and Nihilego flew behind him. Upon entering a narrow stretch of land... an island appeared to take them down further into the realm. The five wondered why Elio did not say anything after their rampage in the Cipher labs.

The Nihilego cried something out in an attempt to ask. (Are you okay?)

Elio smiled at his pokemon. "I don't want to talk about that place. I don't much to say about where we are in comparison, I think Giratina is showing us to where Isaac might be... be ready to fight a pokemon of legends!" Upon hoping from a long stretch of land to a platform, they felt something watching them. Next platform, something flew past them, another something ascended from the abyss into the sky. On the final platform, something descended.

Giratina, in a more serpentine form, silently watched and waited for the challenger to make his first move.

Elio shouted. "If we need to battle you here, then bring it on!"

Giratina appeared.

Elio pointed. "LOST SET UP A SWORDS DANCE!" The Mimikyu danced in vigor as the Giratina clawed at the Mimikyu with its ectoplasmic wings.

Elio posed for the Mimikyu to use. "NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE!" Tendrils erupted from the abyss and dragged Giratina down into a hole before an explosion caused it to deal tremendous amounts of super effective damage. Giratina was battered, he floated up and stared in silence.

An echoing voice was heard. "He didn't know you had that. He wanted the fight to drag on a little longer just because, but he understood what you are here for!"

Giratina glared above in response as the voice spoke. "Show him the door... the other two would be here shortly!"

Giratina guided the group through a portal and found themselves with in what looked like the center most part of the tree. Runes glittered, carvings of various pokemon of legends; the center most piece was a door with three colored circles around a center piece.

As the group of seven stared at a door with three circles around a center piece, Elio heard a tensed masculine voice ask. "We did it! What else do we have to do besides wait?"

The cheerful voice answered. "Be ready for what ever is about to happen."

Elio saw Palkia and Dialga teleport to the room with the Giratina reverting to its alternate form. The three united in a roar as three lights shined in the circles. The light spun as the lock slowly clicked, the door opened.

Elio looked at his team of five. "This is it... what ever happens, thank you."

The Volcarona and Araquanid went in first, the Mimikyu nuzzled to Elio's side, the Slaking smiled with rows of teeth and the Nihilego hovered distant from behind as they all entered the door.
