We arrived in the Hidden Land the next morning and reach the Rainbow Stoneship in about half-an-hour. Once at the top, Mia explained to Thunder about standing on the design in the middle and that it'll fly us to Tempral Tower. As she did this, I looked down the other side of the temple; at the bottom was where me, Morrithi, and Mia fought Dusknoir and his Sablye. My leaves dropped at the memory, and the other three came to my side.
"Grovyle…what's wrong?" Morrithi put her hand on my shoulder to let me know she's there. It didn't comfort me…the memory was still clear as if it happened yesterday, not over five years.
"Down there…" I pointed slightly to the bottom of the temple, the others following to the spot. "…that's where it happened. Where it ended for us."
"It's long gone, Grovyle."
"It doesn't seem like it."
"I know…I don't feel like that either. But it is…we're all here now, and we have a different adventure." I looked at Morrithi who gave me a huge smile, filling me up with joy. "We're saving Rega right now. That's today. That…" Morrithi pointed down to where I pointed before, but kept her gaze on me. "…that was the past, and it's done. Let's go." I smiled and took her hand onto the Rainbow Stoneship design. Once we were all on, it jerked a bit, making Thunder jump, then it started floating in the air, and eventually toke off and flew towards Tempral Tower. Thunder looked around us, excited, and then looked behind him and gasped in amazement.
"Wow! That's why it's called the Rainbow Stoneship!"
"That's what I said when I first saw it!" Mia laughed out. Once the stone landed on the path up to Tempral Tower, we rushed to it. After about ten minutes of fighting other Pokémon, we finally reached the top and Thunder jumped in horror.
"Rega, no!" He ran to Rega who was incased in darkness, not moving, with her eyes closed. We rushed to his side and looked around…no one.
"No one's here…" I whispered to myself. Thunder fell to his knees, crying. Mia went to his side and put her hand on his shoulder.
"At least she's alive…we'll get her out, though. Don't worry."
"How though? What…What is this?"
"It's darkness." I explained, coming up to the incased Cubone, looking at the swirling darkness surrounding her. "I swear I've seen this before…"
"Oh, you have, Grovyle. Don't you remember?" The voice echoed through the ruins of Tempral Tower. The others looked around searching for who said it, but I kept looking at the poor Cubone in darkness.
"Of course…I know, now. How about you come out so we can talk this out Pokémon to pest?" I turned around and backed up about five feet before turning back around to the others, who were looking at me strangely.
"Oh, so I'm a pest now?"
"You've always been a pest, Darkrai." I called out in frustration. When the name Darkrai echoed, I saw Morrithi shiver…she knew it was Darkrai too, and she didn't want to face him again either.
"Oh, how disappointing. I'm so offended. I was going to release the Cubone if you were nice to me..." He insisted kindly, sounding sightly offended. But I knew he was lying…he didn't care about Rega or us.
"Oh, stop the stupid act, Darkrai. You don't care about anyone but yourself. You weren't going to do that under any circumstances."
"You're right…I wasn't. Oh well…" Darkrai then suddenly appeared behind me, and I twirled around in a flash with the leaves on my arms glowing, ready for Leaf Blade. "…I wonder how this is going to end though,"
"Why would you hide here, Darkrai?" Mia wondered. I wondered that to, but I didn't care to know, I just wanted Darkrai gone.
"I'm not hiding…I'm just-ok, I'm hiding. But, I'm here because this is the last place Dialga and Palkia are going to look to find me."
"Good point." Morrithi and Mia said at the same time. I looked back to them in disgust.
"Don't agree with him!"
"Oh, poor, poor Grovyle…" I looked back at Darkrai and saw a hint of a smile. "Did I torture you too badly? Oh, how awful of me…"
"Stop acting so shameful and kind! You enjoyed doing it and would love to do it again!"
"You're right again…I did enjoy it and would love to it to all of you." Thunder gulped at the thought, hiding behind Mia a little bit more than before. "So…this is… Thunder, right?"
"How do you know that?" I asked him, afraid of him hurting Thunder. I didn't want Darkrai to hurt anyone I cared about…and Thunder was a friend now. I wouldn't allow Darkrai near him.
"Oh, before I did that to the Cubone, I put her to sleep, normally. I then went into her dream and created a nightmare, because I love doing that…and saw her dreams be eaten away. One of them was her dear friend Thunder…being torn apart right in front of her and she couldn't do a single thing about it."
"What…that's awful!" Thunder cried out, running up next to me, but I pushed him behind so he wouldn't get to close to Darkrai.
"So what? I loved it…at least someone was happy. And don't worry…she's not in pain. She's still dreaming those lovely nightmares actually!"
"You inconsiderate, little…" Thunder grew angry, and I had to push him back harder because he still tried to get past me to Darkrai.
"Oh, you want to fight me, huh? Well, I'd listen to Grovyle. For once he knows something…you don't want to mess with me." Darkrai than vanished just as Thunder jumped over my arm and to where he was standing. Thunder looked around but couldn't see him. When he looked at me, he backed up a bit, because I was glaring at him with anger in my eyes.
"Never do that, Thunder! Don't attack Darkrai like that!"
"But-"
"No…that's a death sentence, you hear me?! Don't do that ever again!"
"He's still right." Darkrai's voice echoed once again. Then Morrithi gasped. I turned around and saw Darkrai floating above where Rega was incased. Morrithi backed up quickly and hid behind me while Mia hid behind her, but Thunder once again tried to stand in front of me, but I pushed him back behind. "It's so sad it has to end this way for you all…dying where you first saved the world. It's kind of ironic if you think about it. I on the other hand, will greatly enjoy it. And once you're finally out of the way, I'll once again destroy Tempral Tower to cause the Planet's Paralize."
"What!?" I screamed out, walking up at least two feet to him. He laughed horribly then looked back down at us.
"Of course! That's the main reason why I hid here! Once you guys are out of the way, I'll be free to cause the Planet's Paralize…and having the Time Gears gone would also help."
"You…that's not going to happen again!"
"Oh…are you afraid that all you lost and sacrifice will be for nothing, Grovyle? Well guess what…you're right. It will be."
"Are you such an idiot to do that to the world?! It'll only end everything, including yourself!" Morrithi yelled out in frustration.
"An idiot!? Don't you remember what happened last time I was called an 'idiot'?!"
"Oh…yeah…"
"You…moron!"
"Hey!"
"I know what'll happen when the Planet's Paralize takes place, Celibi isn't the only one who can time-travel. I can create Dimensional Holes has well…I've seen it and experienced it."
"If you truly have experienced it, you'd know that it's not right! You'd know it's not an option!" I yelled out in fright, with some hope in me that he'd understand.
"Oh no…that's where you're wrong this time, Grovyle. I have truly experienced it…and let ME tell YOU, it was grand. I don't understand how no one wants it to be like that."
"It's because you're naturally evil, that's why!"
"Oh, my feelings are hurt. Naturally evil…?"
"Would you stop that?! You don't have feelings!" Darkrai laughed so hard and so evilly that I backed up a bit, frightened.
"I don't have feelings, yes. But what I do have is power…and I'm sure to use it. Now…enough of this…talking. It's going nowhere." Darkrai floated down in front of us, making us all back up, including Thunder this time. "If you do want your friend…you'll have to fight me to get her. So let's see how this will end. Come get me!" Darkrai fired a Dark Pulse at us, and since he was to close, I wasn't able to block it, and it forced us back about seven feet. When I got back up I saw not only evil in his eye, but also death…he wanted to kill us, and he was going to try.
