First of all, let me apologize beforehand on this next chapter. I had writer's block, and it sucked. I still haven't been cured, so this chapter is going to be a little short.

Chapter 4: Incepted

Rex was in a grassy field. There were the colors of sunset in the sky, yet the sun was as if in midday. Weird. Rex thought to himself, and then he noticed something. Darkrai? Hello? Where are you? Strangely, Rex felt more uncomfortable not hearing Darkrai's taunting, "voice". Suddenly, a hole opened under Rex, and he fell upwards towards the sun. He was now in Abysus, a huge blast imploding the landscape. See it. See it. Said Darkrai's voice, yet he was not seen. Show yourself! Rex called to the Pitch Black Pokémon. Fight me!

Very well. Darkrai looked disturbingly terrifying. His white bubbled like venom, the black oozing in all directions, his red eye glowing like a cursed beacon. What the-? Why do you look like that? Rex wondered.

I am the master of nightmares. You're in my world now.

Oh, yeah? Rex said as he readied his Funchucks. You fool. Darkrai mused. Suddenly, Rex began to spontaneously making all of his build at the same time. They melted into blackness and swallowed Rex. He felt smothered, not seeing, not hearing. Nothing. Nothing but a falling sensation. Breath! I can't breath! Closing! Black.

Rex woke up. He fell out of bed and was trapped in his bed sheets on accident. "Whew". He looked around. Darkrai was outside of him, staring at the television. Rex built his BFS and put it up at the Pokémon's back.

"You just love to torture people, don't you?" He didn't answer. "Darkrai? Darkrai, answer me!" He didn't. Rex pushed him aside and saw something on the television. On it shown what looked like someone else's memories. "So I'm not the only one with memory loss you messed with". He saw Darkrai staring, as if in a trance. Rex took this as an opportunity to attack. He stabbed Darkrai, but at the hit the Pokémon turned into a shadow and entered the television. "He, stop!" Rex jumped after him, somehow fitting into the TV.

Rex fell to the ground. He was in the other person's memories, but he felt different. He looked down and saw that his body was black and nightmarish. I get it. I'm in Darkrai's memory of intercepting this other person's memory! …And that made no sense. He saw a strange, twisted landscape. Nothing was moving. Planet's Paralyzes? Darkrai floated over to a strange blue portal. There was a person with what was probably another Pokémon. It was green with a long leaf coming out of its forehead. Darkrai attacked the green Pokémon, but the person took the hit instead. No! Rex wanted to stop this, but he knew he was only witnessing a memory.

The next memory was not of the person's, nor of Darkrai's. It showed three Pokémon in floating ruins. The Time Gears were in an altar, and they glowed as if they belonged. That's where they go… Rex thought to himself before Darkrai became aware. The scene melted into the horrid Planet Paralyzes, and Darkrai appeared before Rex. He was angry beyond belief.

"You-! How did you get into my memories?"

"Through the door".

"This is not a humorous matter! You shall pay".

"No! I'm tired of you bossing me around! I don't care if I lose my memories, 'cause now I know that you're trying to keep the Time things-"

"Time Gears".

"Whatever- from being put back!"

"Of course".

"Well, I'm going to keep fighting. I'm not going to give up until the Planet's Paralyzes is stopped! And when I'm done, I'll get rid of you too, Blacky".

That did it. That made Darkrai snap. He roared with rage and fired Shadow Ball at Rex, who stopped it with Block Party. The Pokémon then tried altering the scene, but nothing happened.

"Heh," Rex sarcastically commented. "Where's your control-everything power now?"

"You- by entering my reality, you somehow gained the power to-"

"I don't care how it works! You're going down!" Rex yelled as he struck with his Bad Axes. Darkrai screeched, and everything went white.

Rex saw the five Time Gears close in on Darkrai. They seemed to speak with a calming feminine voice.

We shall keep him here as long as we can. Bring us together in the physical world.

You mean I'm free from Darkrai? That I can get help from my friends?

Yes, but we don't have much time. Bring us together. The last two… one at a slanting tower… another… at the lake of a mythic beast.

The Tower of Pisa and Loch Ness?

…Yes. Hurry. Hurry…

To Be Continued…

This chapter was pleasantly longer than expected. I should be able to start the next chapter soon, but nothing is set in stone. Constructive criticism is appreciated, and this is Mulunia, signing out.
