Ummmmmmm….. Yeah I'm not dead. I realize that it has been a very long time since my last update, about fourteen months, and I am so sorry to leave everyone hanging. My life has been really switched upside down and I HONESTLY have not had time to write anymore on TheChild of the Dreams but now, after going through my jar (A very SMALL JAR) of reviews and reading them ( Mainly Luhan and PercyandCassandra) I have decided that I am going to try and get this baby off the ground again!! Now, on to my (probably bad and full of plot and grammatical holes) attempt at continuing the story.
Oh, just in case anyone was a bit confused by this, the Fullmoon Island in this story is MUCH larger than the one in the Diamond and Pearl games. The one in the games is more like a rock with some trees on it while mine is big enough to have a school campus on it as well as enough space that no one discovers Cresselia's cave. Also, for those who are wondering about Darkrai, well, I'll get to that later.

Later, after I finally managed to resuscitate Dak, he was full of questions. When I say full of questions I mean all of his brain was devoted to asking questions and then some.
"Why are we here?", "Which region do you think we're in?", "Why was I hit by a black lightning bolt?", "Why… wait are you floating!?!"
I realized that the last question was directed more towards me and when I looked down (BTW Cress had been sitting in a cross-legged position) I realized that, yes I was indeed floating.
"Ummm… I think I will answer that question last?" I replied. "Alright, first of all, we are in the Sinnoh Region, Full-Moon Island to be exact. Second, that black lightning bolt teleported you here. The same thing is what sent me here, except it was a purple lightning bolt. Finally, the reason that we are here, as well why I'm floating is because, well…"
It was at this moment that I released my shape shift to reveal myself in all my Cresselian glory.
"We're kind of the kids of two legendary pokemon." I told him telepathically.
Dak had no reply to this because, once again he had fainted.
After I transformed back into a human and revived Dak, AGAIN, we went out for a walk so he could calm down a bit. I showed him around Cressel… I mean OUR new home as well as the clearing outside of the cave. I also explained the whole reason why we had both been sent to the human world for a while.
While we were walking, Dak also asked a lot of questions, mainly about how much of this world the same as the Pokémon world.
As I was focusing on Dak's questions, and not paying attention to where I was going, I walked straight into someone else and we both fell to the ground
"Hey, watch where you're going" said a HIGHLY annoyed voice.
Wait a minute, I swear I had heard that voice before. Then it hit me.
"Oh, hey Kerin."
Apparently, Dak liked the combination of blue hair and eyes on a teenage girl even more than I did because he seemed really excited to meet Kerin, his mouth agape and… wait how did his eyes turn into hearts?
"Hello, and who are you, beautiful girl that SOMEONE should have told me about earlier" he said, taking a moment from his adoration of Kerin to throw a glare at me.
"My name is Kerin and you are?" she replied, with a bit of confusion evident in her voice (If you need a better way to picture Dak's reaction, think of Brock in the anime, whenever he sees a female;)).
"He's,"I started, bumping Dak to the side in an attempt to break him out of his stupor,"My younger twin brother, who apparently needs to learn some manners."
"I do not need to learn… HEY!!! I'M NOT YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER!!!"
"I am pretty sure that you are."
"Am NOT!"
"ARE TOO"
"Am NOT!"
"ARE TOO"
"Ummm, guys?"
In our argument about who was older, AKA ME, we had completely forgotten about Kerin.
"Sorry about that", we said simultaneously.
"Sooooo," she started, "what are you guys doing out here anyway?"
"Just taking a walk. Enjoying the fresh sea breeze and the forest."
Then Kerin apparently remembered something. "Oh I completely forgot, Cress, I wanted to ask you something."
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked , slightly curious what was so important that she would come and try to find me to ask.
"Well, the school's year-long break is starting tomorrow, and I was going to mainland and I wanted to ask you…would you come with me?"
At this request I was dumbstruck. A girl who I had known for a few days wanted to travel around the country with me for a whole year?
Dak's response, of course, was quite predictable (and not because we were twins)
"HEY!!!WHAT ABOUT ME!!!"
"Oh, sure, you can tag along if you want," replied Kerin in a tone that indicated she really cared less about what he did. "I mean, the reason I didn't ask you was because I've known you for all of, oh say, two minutes. However, if you don't include you two arguing about whose older, that time would be reduced to about forty-two seconds."
"Okay, so you've haven't known me that long," stammered Dak, "But why invite Cress, you've known him for at most a few days?"
"Cause he helped me out and I thought it would be nice to return the favor."
I decided now was the opportune time to return to the main topic
"Sure, we would love to come Kerin!" I enthuastically told her.
Then I remembered something that I should probably do first.
"Ummm… we'll be right back Kerin, I mean we should probably ask our mom about this."
Dak was slightly confused about this (as he probably related mom to the foster mother he had in the other world and then he brightened up a bit.
"Oh you're talking about Cresmpfmpfmpfmh"
Thankfully I had been able to act quickly and put my hand over his mouth before he had revealed to Kerin that were the children of two legendary Pokémon.
"We will be right back." I told Kerin before I walked back to the cave, dragging Dak with me.
Once I was sure that we were out of earshot of Kerin, I let Dak talk again.
"What the HELL was that for!" he demanded urgently.
I sighed. Dak could be REALLY dense sometimes.
"Okay, bro, what would you do if someone came up to you saying that they were the Son of A God+?" I asked him, after smacking my face in exasperation.
""Good point." He admitted.
However, I was on aroll with this, and gave him another reason to not admit our heritage to anyone.
"It could be worse than be called crazy, you could accidentally tell someone and they believe you."
"So, people find out that we're mini-gods, whats the problem with that?" Dak asked.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe, WE GET CAPTURED BY TRAINERS!! Don't forget, we're not actually human, we're pokemon. If anyone finds out, we could get captured. And yes, before you say we can fight them off, someone could still beat us. Even worse, we could get unlucky and go up against some lucky trainer who has a Masterball. So try to keep quiet about the whole children of legendaries thing, alright?"
Dak agreed and we continued on back to the cave. Luckily, Cresselia hadn't left for work yet, so we were able to ask her.
"Of course you two can go. I think it would be for the best if you both got a little more acquainted with your new world. Along the way you could do something for me as well."
Now I was curious. What could we do that our mom, a Legendary pokemon, couldn't?
When we asked her what she had in mind, she sighed.
"Its about your father, Darkrai. I swear that Pokémon never knows when to come home, More than likely, he's avoiding me."
"But why would he be avoiding you", we both asked.
"APPARENTLY, I have a bit of a temper so he is more likely afraid that I'll tear him apart for being gone for so long. He NEEDS to come back in order to help with your training Dak. He's the only Legendary who specializes in the Dark-type, well, besides Giratina, but he has a full time job and can't take time off. So, in order for Dak to know the ins and outs of being a Darkrai, you need to find your father."
"Where should we start to look?" I asked.
"I would go to a small town called Alamos Town. He used to go there before so he might be there now. It's a bit northwest of Oreburgh, and its in the middle of a big lake. You can't miss it.
Cresselia paused to think for a minute. "Actually, I have something that the two of you might have need of."
She then went back into, well, what I think was her bedroom, and then came out with two things that I recognized from the games. Apparently Dak did as well.
"COOOOOLLL!!! WE GET POKETECHS!!" we both shouted simultaneously.
"Is that what they're called? Apparently human trainers on the island are… loose with their belongings. I found both of these, as well as, oddly enough, some backbacksjust sitting around outside. I filled both of the backbacks with berries in case you get hungry."
As we turned to leave, she added "Don't forget to stay in touch!"
"We got it mom!" Dak and me said ,AGAIN, simultaneously.
Unknowingly, we were both thinking the same thing.
"We really need to stop doing that."
We caught back up with Kerin and told her that we would be happy to come with her on her trip. As we headed to the ferry, I decided to ask about the agenda of our trip.
"So," I asked,"Where are we headed first?"
"Ohh, I thought we would go on the classical tour of the cities with gyms, maybe battle a few Gym leaders."
"You think we could stop by a few of the smaller towns as well? I mean, for example, I heard that Alamos has these really amazing towers!" I said, trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Sure I think we can fit that in. But we better wait a while before going there, the weather gets really bad around there this time of year." She replied.
"Ohh, alright then."
We then got on the ferry, and headed for our first destination: Canalave Town.
Soooo… is this a good comeback? Yes, I decided that I would go with the usual trip across Sinnoh like many other fanfictions do. BUT!! Do those other fanfictions have protagonists that are, in fact, the children of Legendary Pokémon? I THINK NOT! Oh and yes, Dak, Cress, and Kerin WILL meet up with Ash and the gang. I am adamant on this because otherwise I have nothing to plan forward to. Also, Cress and Dak WILL be getting Pokémon and that's where you (the reviewers) come in. I need to know what pokemon you want them to get. Each will get two pokemon, one of which has to match their type. The other can be anything but a legendary or a pokemon that I just plain hate. PPS, there are two little… Easter eggs, in this chapter. One references, an AWESOME fanfiction title, and the other references a movie. Can you guess them?
