Hey guess what? It's my Birthday! So I am posting a chapter to both my stories as my present to all of you! Today I, at last, turned 16!

I am sorry for the long wait though! The stress of school got to me so it was hard to actually write anything! Screw everything I said above (Except for the Birthday part)! I was being lazy, end of story. I AM sorry for the several month long wait. I am going to make the chapters longer and better now that I have more experience so I hope you guys/girls like!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon. (Well duh! I've only said it about 15 times now.)

ON TO THE STORY! Nyah!

"'I will mark the path for you', 'I will be your light', 'I will be there for you', 'I shall take your burdens and make them mine own'. But in the end, why? Because you, are my friend."

Chapter 3: Future of Darkness?

I stood, er... Floated above a blue tower with Lines of red pulsating through it like blood. It looked alive. Above it was a tremendous cloud that was crackling red lightning. Red lighting flashed down and struck the tower. A huge chunk fell off the tower and the tower begin to shake. The tower collapsed and the surrounding area grew gray and still. The wall of gray spread in all directions making more and more things gray. (A.N. Noooo! My colors!)

I saw images of blue and green gears that reminded me of the tower they each had a aura about them that made you happy just seeing it. Then the grayness ran over them, causing them to lose their color, crack and shatter into pieces. As the last one was about to shatter I reached out to it in a attempt to save it, but my hand passed right through it and it shattered, casting me in to darkness.

I floated through darkness until I became blinded by white light. My vision returned and I found myself looking at this huge blue and white creature. It was on four legs and was covered in this skin that looked like armor. It resembled the tower and the gears I saw earlier so I thought they were connected. Its head stretched far back and it seemed to radiate power. I then realized we were standing above the tower that had collapsed earlier.

It seemed to be looking at me, so like any normal person I waved my hand in greeting. It did nothing. It just stared blankly like it was looking right through me. I realized it couldn't see me so I turned around and saw a beautiful landscape with ruins and large expanses of jungle. It appeared as if I was on a island. But that didn't make sense as the edge of the land dropped into... Nothing?

"Palkia," A powerful voice said behind me, I turned and saw that it must have been the creature in front of me. "I feel as if something is coming to spread a great calamity upon us."

I looked around to see who he was talking to but saw no one. He spoke again saying, "I'll need to make sure the Time Gears-" The image of the gears I saw earlier pooped into my head. "-are safe. It's the only way to make sure that this tower does not collapse."

"If something does happen," The creature spoke once more. "Inform him for me please." The world then faded around me leaving me in darkness once more...

I opened my eyes to see a pink... Thing staring at me with big round eyes which I noticed to be grass green in color. I didn't move as I stared right back at it, before saying quite calmly, "Who are you?"

I heard a familiar girlish giggle before I got an answer. 'Why it's me silly! Celibi!' I heard in my head. She flew over to the Treeko as I got looking at her incredulously.

"Oh." Was all I said before I realized something. "Wait you're Celibi?"

The giggle again, 'Yup! The one and only!' She said proudly bopping a... hand to her chest?

I just glared at her before saying, "Then if this future is so bad, then why don't you just go back change it!?"

She had a look of shock on her face before she looked over at the Treeko from before. I huffed in irritation. 'Why are they complaining to me about time when they...' My eyes widened as I remembered what she had said earlier about someone named Dusknoir going around killing anybody who tries to change the future.

"Wait, is there possibly a reason why you didn't already do that?" I asked quietly, feeling a bit ashamed for getting mad at her.

She looked back at me with a pained look before telling me, 'Yes, there is. We don't actually know what caused Temporal Tower to collapse and we can't go back and find out because Dialga would know. Also we can't actually go back in time with the portal, and we wouldn't be able to come back because we'd get caught'

I put a hand to my chin as I thought about what she had said. I then remembered the vision I had and how there had been a Pokémon that I didn't recognize and that it had been sanding atop a tower. "Hey Celibi, could you search through my recent memories real quick?" I asked politely.

She looked at me weirdly before her eyes closed and her body became outlined I pink. I felt A slight tingling sensation in my head before it disappeared along with my vision. I tried to stay as still as possible before my vision began to slowly came back to me. Once my vision had cleared up I saw Celibi staring at me with a blank look.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked wondering why she was just staring at me.

'You have the Dimensional Scream.' She told me in a quiet voice.

"Dimy-what now?" I questioned, waiting for a definition.

'The Dimensional Scream, a ability that allows one to randomly see the past or future upon touching a person, Pokémon or thing. But only the future or past related or it.' She said, her cheerful attitude gone, seeming to be replaced by another emotion that I could not yet identify.

I stared at her as she floated in the air by a Treeko with a expression that probably resembled mine, utter confusion. Celibi shook her head as she stared at me before she began talking again. 'Anyways, I happen to know what that is because I can somewhat control time so I am aware of that ability. Also we are going to need to get out of here quickly because Dialga probably knows about you now.' Neither me nor Treeko moved. 'I guess I'll have to teleport us out of here then.' She said in exasperation before the world around me warped, casting me once more into darkness.

My vision came back to me about a moment later, but before I could really make out my surroundings, I felt my stomach quench as I threw up what ever was in my stomach onto the ground in front of me, that is, if there was ground. My throat burned as I took a look around me to see I was on the edge of a cliff. Behind me was a forest of sorts as well as Treeko and Celibi who both had looks of disgust.

"That was not pleasant." I told Celibi with a hint of anger in my voice as I edged away from the cliff's precarious edge.

'Well how was I suppose to know you've never teleported before!?' Her voice rang through my head. Clearly she was pissed off at me. 'I only checked your recent memories!'

"Okay, okay!" I said startled by her sudden hostility. "I forgive you, you didn't do anything wrong."

She gave a quiet "Hmph!" before I decided to ask her a question. "So... Where are we?"

Instead of outright answering me she walked through the woods dragging the Treeko along with her. I followed her not asking any questions as I did not want to anger her further. We tugged through the forest witch steadily became more and more foggy. It was actually quite strange because it was all frozen in time so the fog was just sort of pushed to the side where it stayed frozen, leaving a ghostly trail.

I walked quietly through with a slight shiver as the cold permeated through my clothes. I saw the pink of Celibi disappear behind a wall of trees so I sped up, braking into a run and continued like that until the trees disappeared around me. I stopped abruptly and looked around but only saw the white of the fog and the ground. I walked forward looking around paying close attention to where my feet were, I did not want to fall off a cliff. The fog started to slowly dissipate the farther I walked until I found myself standing at the edge of a great lake.

"Welcome to Fogbound Lake, Steven."

So I have to end this chapter here mostly because I need to transfer data and such because I'm having computer problems. Also this story is going to get a bit dark until a certain point so be prepared. But anyways I hope you guys liked this chapter! Nyah~!
