Star and Brandon were so busy walking across nearby Celadon City, their feet clanking against the brick-paved ground, they didn't seem to notice the approaching clouds. Brandon looked at Star. She's so beautiful, he thought. But she'd never give me the time of day, would she?

As the clouds darkened the sky overhead, Star looked at her watch. "Hm. That's odd. It shouldn't be this dark. It's only noon."
Star and Brandon then noticed something strange. There wasn't anyone out in the streets. The entire city was deserted. What was going on? Suddenly, shadows began being cast on the brick, even though the light was almost nonexistent anyway. Star stepped back. Something seemed familiar about this…but what? Then she remembered. The dream…this was like the dream! Just as that thought appeared in her mind, the same little shadow creatures from her dream popped out of the ground. One of them jumped on her and began scratching at her face. Infuriated, Brandon grabbed it by the leg and threw it on the ground. He proceeded to pummel the creature until it burst into liquid shadow that quickly evaporated.

He pointed at the rest of the creatures. "Don't ANY of you try to touch her!"

Star, her composure regained, sent out her newfound Pokemon. "GO! Arcanine! Milotic! Onix! Get rid of these creatures!"

As the trio burst from their Pokeballs, the darkened appeared began to do something strange…was the sky CRACKING? It seemed so…like glass hit by a rock, it seemed to spiderweb its way to falling apart. Brandon wouldn't be distracted from this, though, and neither would Star. Star sent her Pokemon at the creatures, and Brandon got out a Pokeball. "GO! Misdreavus! Use Psywave!"

As Misdreavus' waves of Psychic energy tore through the creatures, Milotic was taking more out with Hydro Pump, while Onix wrapped them to death one by one. Arcanine couldn't be seen as it destroyed them with Extremespeed. However, they weren't attacking the creatures for long before they stopped coming altogether. There was a crashing noise, and the ground shook. Star and Brandon turned around and looked in horror as a giant shadow creature stretched its limbs. It was a bluish-black, its hair like that of Medusa, flailing wildly, its chest with the same heart-shaped hole that the creature in Star's dream had had. Milotic, Arcanine, Onix, and Misdreavus all began to attack the creature, managing to at least keep it occupied from whatever it was trying to do. Star was cheering on her and Brandon's Pokemon when she suddenly felt a weight in her arms. She looked down to see herself holding a sword. But it wasn't really a sword…it was more like a giant key. She heard a voice.

The door will be resealed by the one who holds the key.

When Star looked to the side, she saw that Brandon had already decided that the Pokemon needed some help. He was busy throwing broken bricks at the creature, hoping to do some kind of damage, but it didn't seem to be doing anything at all… Star, not wanting to be left out, charged the creature with her new weapon. As she slashed at it, it began spewing shadow, just like in her dream. It slowly vanished into oblivion. The two withdrew their Pokemon. Star hugged Brandon, who blushed profusely.

"We beat it!" she screamed with joy.

Smiling, Brandon simply said, "Yeah, we did."

The world began to shake. The spiderweb cracks in the sky reached their shatterpoints and the sky itself collapsed into darkness. A strong wind blew from the ground up to the sky, and the ground began to break like sand, carried up into the darkness by the wind. The two watched in pure horror as the world itself was disintegrating.

"What's going on, Brandon? What should we do?"

Brandon held Star tighter. "I don't think there's anything we can do, Star."

The two of them were suddenly lifted off the ground. They felt themselves being pulled apart. "Brandon! I'm scared!"

"Don't worry, Star! Just don't let go!"

However, his words were lost as they were ripped apart from each other, and cast into the darkness.
