Grovyle, Layne and Pyro walked through the forest with very little chat. Though they all had established an understanding, the tensions were without a doubt, very thick still. Layne didn't need to ask to know that Pyro still thought Grovyle was still untrusting, and Grovyle was probably wondering if traveling with these two pokémon, who still felt suspicious about him was a good idea or not. Layne however could not shake the feeling that he somehow knew this place from his head. How was it possible? Layne cursed his memory loss! It was dragging him down!

Layne tried to get it off his mind. He had to think of something to get this off his mind. Why were they here in this forest. Locate a pokémon, Celebi. Okay. Time Travel pokémon, it still made him uncomfortable, but he was already traveling in time. So far...nothing ad was happening.

Grovyle stopped and said, "We can take a short rest here. I'll be right back, I'm going to go scout."

Layne and Pyro nodded, and Layne said, "We'll be here."

Grovyle nodded and ran off. Pyro looked at Layne and asked, "Do you think he'll come back?"

Layne shrugged, "If he doesn't we'll know that we have one more pokémon to look suspicious over, including Dusknoir."

"Layne, that's not very reassuring." Pyro said.

"Don't know what else to say" Layne said. He then popped his neck. He suddenly felt very hungry, and reached for the bag at his side by instinct. Where was it?

Layne had forgotten. He had left it back at the Guild. He let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Pyro asked.

Layne simply said, "Forgot the bag back home. No apples."

It was then that Pyro's stomach growled. "You think there's anything to eat here?"

"Not much." Grovyle said as he reappeared. He tossed them both an apple. "In some areas of the future, we have been spared what precious soil and light we can provide to grow some food. It is not easy, and if it's not done perfectly, nothing good will come from your effort. then there are apples on the trees that have been frozen in time. Like those. They are fine to eat, they've been preserved in the paralysis in time."

Layne bit into one. Despite the lack of color both inside and outside, the apple tasted like any other apple he'd had at the guild. "Thanks." he said.

Grovyle nodded as he bit into an apple himself. "We've been walking through this forest for quite a while now. If Celebi is here, then it will not be long before we find her."

Layne wasn't listening because off behind him, he could have sworn he heard something...mystical.

Pyro hesitated, but asked, "You said...Dialga was targeting her too. Do you think she got...caught?"

"Caught?" a voice rang out, and it nearly scared Layne witless. "He thought the voice sounded familiar, but couldn't put his finger on it. Everyone else heard it too.

"Who is that?" Pyro exclaimed.

Grovyle smiled, and turned around, "Who do you think?"

The voice giggled. Me captured...that's a bit insulting! Charmander...it is impossible for me to be captured."

Layne was giving Pyro a rather strange look. Pyro saw this and simply asked, "Layne, what are you giving me that look for?"

Layne simply said, "Pyro...beside you."

"Pyro looked over to see a hovering pink little pokémon floating next to him. "Wah!" Pyro said, suddenly backing away.

Grovyle turned with a chuckle to this. "Celebi."

Celebi stood in all her...majesty. This Celebi, was not like other Celebi in color. Rather than a light green coating, this Celebi had a pink color. Her eyes were an emerald green, and though her wings were not even the size of her short arms they were able to propel her body through the sky effortlessly.

"Hello, my dear, Grovyle." Celebi said. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Indeed, it has." Grovyle replied.

Pyro was shocked, "That tiny pokémon is Celebi?"

Celebi took that the wrong way, and Layne only guessed she would. "Now, that is just downright rude!" she exclaimed. "Why would you poke fun at my small proportions."

Grovyle also turned to Pyro, "Celebi's power is very mystical. Size means-"

"Please, Grovyle." Celebi said, smiling. "I can handle this."

Pyro simply said, "I did not mean to offend anyone! I'm sorry. I just heard you had the ability to cross time, s o I expected a big, majestic pokémon like Dialga or..."

"Dialga is dead." Layne said. "Remember?"

"He's not dead." Grovyle said, "He's just lost in madness."

To be truthful, Layne knew that Dialga wasn't dead, but he was hoping Grovyle would at least know what he meant. Celebi ignored them both, and simply said to Pyro.

"How stubborn." she said playfully. "Don't you know not to judge by appearance? Had I not known what a Charmander was, I'd say you wouldn't look very powerful in a fight."

Layne had to fight off a snort there. Pyro had indeed improved as a fighter for the past few days, but Layne couldn't help but remember their meeting day again, and how shy he had been. Layne almost had to push him into that cave in order for him to get his Relic Fragment treasure, which still hung around his neck under his scarf.

Celebi then smiled, "But I forgive you. Besides, don't you find me cuter than any pokémon like Dialga?"

Layne could no longer hold the laughter, but at least he wasn't the only one laughing. Celebi was giggling, and Grovyle, for the first time since traveling with him, was giving a rather hearty chuckle himself. Pyro just looked embarrassed. However once that had passed, Grovyle looked to Celebi, "As you can see, Celebi, I am in need of your help once again."

Celebi nodded. "I figured as much. I felt a rip in time and could only think you both had failed-"

"Both?" Pyro asked.

Grovyle turned to Pyro, "Nothing." Celebi, though hesitant about what Pyro had just said, continued. "I was beginning to think," Celebi continued, "That you had been captured again."

"I was." Grovyle said. "And we were very lucky to have escaped execution."

"Execution?" Celebi repeated. "Well, I'm glad you escaped that too! But we cannot dawdle. All I can ask now is...try not to fail this time, Grovyle." she said almost as playfully as a child playing with toys.

Grovyle looked a bit stung by that, not in a bad way, but more in an awkward way. "I hope so too, Celebi..."

"The Union is updated with all that we know. And we've all finally put in the support of this mission."

"Really?" Grovyle asked. "We have the Union's support?"

Celebi nodded. "Living in this world is depressing everyone to the point of madness, since the Union was attacked."

Grovyle interrupted, "I do not mean to interrupt Celebi, but we have no time to chat. If we don't keep moving, it will only be a matter of time before the Sabeleye track us all down, and capture us."

Celebi looked to Grovyle, "Don't you start on the capture us monolog now! Those Sabeleye can try to catch us, but they won't. Try as they may. Grovyle, you need to learn to let go of your worry sometimes, you stubborn little lizard. But, if you would be so kind, as t prevent the planet's paralysis, the world will be spared the agony of darkness."

Grovyle nodded, and said, "I know."

"Celebi said, "And we both know that we will devote our lives to achieve that end."

Grovyle nodded, and was about to say something, but Layne simply, said, "All right, as moving as this all is, perhaps we have dawdled a bit too long here. Shall we be off?"

"Huh? Is that..." Celebi began asking, looking directly at Layne. Layne looked up to meet her gaze, and though every part of his brain was trying to get him to say some other phrase, all he could say was, "Pardon?" Grovyle looked at Layne, as did Pyro. Layne was met with three strange looks, all of which he had no idea on how to even respond to. "Uhhh...what?"

Celebi gave him the look for a few more seconds before shaking her head. "No. Nevermind, I don't know what I'm thinking."

"Is there something, wrong?" Grovyle asked Celebi.

Celebi shook her head. "No. "Follow me, the Passage of Time is quite nearby. My guess is that all three of you are taking it?"

"Correct." Grovyle said.

"Well then," Celebi said. "Let us be off."

As they started off, Pyro ran up to Grovyle, and asked, "What's...the Passage of Time?"

Grovyle said, "The Passage of Time is a portal which Celebi uses to cross time. A secret corridor that only she has power over, and it spans dimensions."

Celebi nodded, "Yup! I can travel short distances of time by myself, but for the big trips that span generations, I must use the Passage of Time."

Pyro then said, "So if we entered the Passage of Time, we could..."

Yes." Grovyle said. "You will be able to return to your world."

Celebi then said, "This is the forest that will lead us eventually to the Passage of Time. Are you all prepared properly for this?"

Layne shrugged, and simply said, "What you see is what you get."

Celebi giggled at that, and said, "Funny...you remind me of someone I know..."

Layne wasn't too sure he knew what she meant, but didn't ask.

"Well, let's go." Celebi said. Layne looked at Pyro and simply said, "No turning back now."

Pyro nodded and said, " After you."

"You're asking for us to do something that is very risky, Palkia." Giratina said. "Be reasonable!"

"I do not know what else to do, Giratina." Palkia said. "We must intervene. You and I both know that Dusknoir will not try the same strategy as before. Pyro and Layne have gained too much respect in Treasure Town. Chances are they will be able to reveal the lies Dusknoir had told them."

"Pyro doesn't seem convinced..." Giratina said.

"Just wait. You and I both know that the next part of Dusknoir's plan is already in motion. Celebi may be the only one who can access the Passage of Time's power, but it doesn't mean that her power cannot be challenged. Dusknoir sees this, and has once again summoned Dialga to aid him."

"So what?" Giratina asked. "He's done the same thing before. Layne and Grovyle escaped once before, what makes you think they won't escape again?"

"They escaped last time with the help of a lake guardian! And Dialga's presence will greatly challenge the power of Celebi. Don't think that just because Dialga has lost all control, doesn't mean that his control over time has diminished in any way."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Giratina asked.

Palkia sighed. "Dialga's presence will greatly hinder the power of Celebi, possibly to the point where her ability to use certain powers are greatly hindered. We must be ready to possibly intervene to allow them to get to the portal."

Giratina looked in thought, and said, "Do you really think we'll need to do what you say we need to do? Intervene in such a way? Entering the planet's haven will as I have said, put us at risk. Dialga will mark us on his target list. God only knows why we've managed to stay hidden as we are for so long."

"Giratina, I wouldn't be surprised if Dialga had his suspicions about us for the past ten years. But rest assured, I do not plan on throwing our lives away in such fashion. We merely need to ensure they all reach the Passage of Time."

"What do you think of Layne?" Giratina asked.

"About his transformation? We've been over this."

"No. We've both concluded that Layne seemed to have developed amnesia. So, what do you think will happen? Is the mission in any jeopardy? Cooperation is required for this mission to pull through."

"I know, Giratina. However, part of me think that Layne's identity has already been given to one of them. That or their suspicions are greatly developing. Layne has yet to even correct Grovyle for calling him anything other than Buizel. It will come in time. I do not think we should interfere there."

"If you say so." Giratina said.

Palkia then said, "They near the Passage. We must get ready to help them...one last time."'

The group of four went through the forest. With Celebi's guidance, all were fully well on their way back home to the past. Which was good news for pretty much everyone in the group. Though tensions still clung in the group, Celebi and Layne had actually started engaging in small talk.

"Grovyle and I have been working to prevent the planet's paralysis for a long time now, actually."

"Long time?"

"Yeah!"

"How'd you and Grovyle meet?" Layne asked. Grovyle seemed to hear the question, for he almost turned his head, but simply shook it, hoping Celebi really wouldn't go there.

"Well..." Celebi said, turning to Layne and hovering rather close...almost too close for comfort. "This is just between you and me, but we met after Dusknoir had first captured him."

"You mean...he's been captured more than once?" Layne asked.

"Oh, yes." Celebi said. "I was just passing through the neighborhood, and I saw his prison escorts. I followed by way of stealth teleportation, and ended up breaking him out of prison. It was then that he introduced me to the Union."

"This is the second time you have talked about this...Union. What is that?"

Celebi shrugged. "Just the resistance we are in against Dialga. Nothing more really to it."

Layne shrugged and said "...so what made you choose to save him?"

Celebi contemplated the question, and said, "You know, to this day, I don't completely know. There was something about him. Grovyle, I've learned is very stubborn, impatient, and hasty. I know he wants to hurry with his mission, but I do wish he would sometimes slow down just a little bit."

"Slower job, and you don't miss as much details."

"Well...that, and it would just make me happier if he did. I'd like to spend as much time with him, before he has to leave again...wait."

Layne was already chuckling. Celebi...and Grovyle? "You mean to tell me-"

"Oh no! That's not what I meant at all!" Celebi said, a bit on the panic side. It's not like I have any special feelings for him or anything!" she said as quietly as se could so Layne could hear, but not Grovyle...hopefully.

"Everything okay back there?" Grovyle asked, looking back. Layne straightened out, but couldn't completely get rid of the grin that was glued onto his face. Celebi almost freaked, but held herself in place and said, "Everything is fine! I think we're actually getting closer!"

Layne chuckled as Grovyle turned away and said to Celebi, "There's no need to hide it, just tell him how you feel."

Celebi looked at Layne...she didn't say anything. She just looked at him, and hovered closer to him and even inspected him, physically, lifting up arms and other places, like behind the tail. "Celebi..." Layne said stopping, a little creeped. "What are you doing?"

Celebi looked at him. "You are acting strangely similar to a friend, Grovyle and I know. Have you perhaps run into-"

Grovyle then said, "Celebi! I think I see it."

Layne chuckled and said, "Hold your thoughts. Grovyle needs you."

Celebi continued to glance at him, which still creeped Layne out, but in the same way, the mind of Layne was starting to feel, very strange. Did...he perhaps...know her? What was going on? His mind was trying to tell him something.

Celebi smiled and said, "Guess he does."

Pyro saw Layne's expression and simply asked, "What's wrong?"

"Pyro, all I can say is that something is out of place. My mind is trying to tell me something right here, and right now. But I don't know what."

Before Pyro could ask, Grovyle said, "Guys. We've found it!"

Layne and Pyro looked over. Grovyle and Celebi were both entering a clearing. Layne smiled, and said, "Let's get home. We'll talk about this soon."

Pyro smiled and said, "Sounds good to me. It will be good to get home finally. But...Layne."

Layne looked over as they continued walking. "Do you think that all we've heard about Grovyle, the TIme Gears, and Temporal Tower is true?"

Layne simply shrugged. "To be honest...it all sounds...familiar, but I don't know what to believe right now. Perhaps we should stick with our original plan. Let's investigate the true intentions of Grovyle when we get home."

Pyro nodded, and said, "Right."

They then entered the clearing. Pyro looked at the Passage, which looked like the doorway to another dimension. "So that's the Passage of Time?"

"Yes." Grovyle said. "I went through it to get to the past. However, only Celebi can open the Passage. So..." he said, looking to Celebi, "Go ahead and do your thing."

"Sure!" Celebi said, smiling.

"Oh, no you don't!" Dusknoir's voice rang out.

Layne clenched his paws. Why was he here? Grovyle, Celebi, and Pyro also heard it and reacted. "Dusknoir!"

Dusknoir faded into view, and said, "Hello to you all. I must say it's been a few hours since our last meeting. You are all overdue for an execution." Dusknoir walked forward. "Your little escape you carried out has carried out quite the goose chase, Grovyle. Now let's make this easy. It's over now. You have lost, and I have won."

At that moment, the six Sabeleye of Dusknoir surrounded them. They didn't attack, but they did brandish those claws again, which made the hair on Layne stand.

"Very crafty, Dusknoir." Grovyle said. "I guess I should have seen this coming. You did know of the Passage of Time after all. I will say. That was clumsy on my part."

"See what I mean?" Celebi whispered to Layne. "Too hasty."

"On the contrary," Dusknoir said. "We have not only waited here, but we have been watching you since you entered the forest. And our little strategy went perfectly, as now we have the opportunity to capture the wanted Celebi as well. Not a bad day. Four outlaws, my Master will be most pleased."

Grovyle sighed and said, as they all got in a defensive stance, "I really should have seen this coming. Celebi, I'm sorry."

Celebi looked to Grovyle. "Grovyle. Never knew you to be a pokémon of apologies, Grovyle. I must say, it doesn't suit your style, dear. And I thought we've been over me getting captured already. It simply isn't possible!" she said giggling again.

"I am about to put that theory to the test." Dusknoir said. "Arrest them!"

Grovyle said, "Everyone! Prepare yourselves! We will power our way through to the Passage! We'll push them all aside, and jump into the Passage!"

"Right." Layne said, relaxing, but focusing at the same time.

"Won't go easy?" Dusknoir asked. "I expected as much. I will go ahead and say, spare yourselves the effort. You all don't have a ghost of a chance."

"Says who?" Grovyle asked. "We never know until we try. Dusknoir, you and me. Right here, right now."

Pyro, Layne, and Celebi all looked at Grovyle. Was he going to really suggest a one on one deal for this kind of thing? Layne could understand, but was it really the right way to go?

Dusknoir laughed. "Grovyle. You are a fool to think I would come alone."

Grovyle gave Dusknoir a deep stare. "What do you mean?"

"I mean...you need to look up, because I have brought doom upon your little group. Master Dialga, let us bask in your presence!"

At that, a roar unlike anything Layne had ever heard...except maybe at Fogbound Lake with Groundon, sounded. Layne looked up. The monster that sat up on the cliff above the Passage of Time was unlike anything he had ever seen. He lost his footing. Those eyes of the monsters glowed as red as blood, and the pulsing outlines of the creatures body gave off an aura unlike anything Layne could ever say he had ever experienced. And his experience with aura was very very small...

"It can't be..." Grovyle said.

"Grovyle!" Is that...?"

Pyro began but couldn't finish.

"Primal Dialga..." Grovyle simply said.

Dusknoir laughed and added in taunt, "What's wrong Grovyle? What happened to the bravado I had just witnessed?"

Grovyle said nothing but looked down.

"Grovyle?" Celebi asked.

Grovyle shook his head. "It cannot be helped."

"What are you saying?" Pyro asked.

"Surely you're not-" Layne began, but was cut off.

"Hope has left us. Dusknoir on his own is one thing, but this is completely different...we don't stand a chance against Dialga." Grovyle turned to Layne and Pyro. "I must apologize, for letting you down. You two kept up well. For that, I must say...thank you."

Layne said. "Look Grovyle, you never lose hope. Don't ever lose that. I may not have much to support my words, but-"

Grovyle shook his head. "I don't mean to disappoint you, Buizel. But we are not in the state to fight Dialga."

"My name is..." Layne began but Grovyle didn't hear. He stepped forward. "Dusknoir, I surrender. I will come willingly, and quietly."

Dusknoir laughed and Celebi was shocked. ""Grovyle!"

Dusknoir was giddy. "It's not like you to surrender so easily Grovyle."

"We change." Grovyle said. "I cannot fight Dialga. But, as the Buizel over there said, hope is not gone. I am reminded that hope is actually alive."

"Oh?" Dusknoir said, smiling. "How so?"

"Celebi..." Grovyle said, "Remember. It was just me that was caught. My partner, remains in the past. He will complete this mission. I know he will..."

Layne's mind was starting to work up quite a storm. Storm...he could almost feel a storm...

Pyro was astonished. "Grovyle You...didn't come alone?"

"I did not." Grovyle said. "My partner and I traveled to the past together. I had not mentioned him before for fear that if we were successful, you would try to locate him as well."

"Why didn't you two stay together?" Celebi asked.

"Upon entry of the past," Grovyle said, "We ran into a storm at sea, and were immediately separated. I almost lost hope in him surviving, but...I know he is alive. I can feel it. He will complete the mission, even if we are eliminated. He will prevent the planet's paralysis, and restore time! We have to keep faith, Celebi!"

Dusknoir began to laugh hard and heartily. Grovyle looked at him in question and simply asked, "Dusknoir, please do tell, what is so funny?"

"I'm surprised he hasn't told, you, Grovyle."

"What do you mean? Who told me what?"

"Allow me. I do recall...a certain special partner you had. Tell me now...who was it again?"

Grovyle crossed his arms, "Don't play games with me, Dusknoir. You and I both know who was with me, as we both eluded you several times."

"I know, so who is it?"

"Why are you-"

"Say the name!" Dusknoir said. "Tell us the name of the partner that travelled with you to the past."

"I still don't see why you would ask such a thing."

"For old times sake. Humor me and say the name, or has it left your memory too?"

Memory! Layne's mind for the first time, saw a light at the end of the tunnel...

"I could never forget him. I still don't see why you are asking for this, but the one who travelled with me to the past, was Layne...my best friend..."

Layne's mind suddenly lit up like fireworks. "Layne...my best friend..." echoed through his mind, and suddenly, Layne's mind was working in a flashback sequence so hard, that Layne was almost completely blind to the present occurrences, and lost balance and fell on all fours. His mind was showing him things and it suddenly made sense. Grovyle! Grovyle was his partner! He remembered! The darkness...the dreams...the voices...the passage...and the Storm!

As Layne's mind recapped this, Pyro went into a state of astonishment and was looking at Layne. "Layne?"

Celebi looked at Pyro and then at Layne. She too looked deep in thought.

"Grovyle!" Pyro said. "Did you say the name, 'Layne'?"

Grovyle turned and nodded, "Yes, I did."

"Well, he's right behind you!"

"What?" Grovyle turned looking at Layne. Celebi still looked deep at Layne, who was still having a memory overload. Grovyle shook his head. "It can't be...the Layne I know...isn't a Buizel. He's a human."

That sealed the deal. Layne's memory was up and running again and he immediately looked up and shouted, "Grovyle!"

Grovyle's eyes widened. The voice...the tone...the eyes..."L-Layne?"

Celebi lit up, "I knew it!"

Dusknoir laughed. "I'm surprised this has remained as long a secret as it has. Grovyle, the very human that became your partner almost four months ago, is, without a doubt, the Buizel that you now see before you!"

"How?" Grovyle asked Layne. "How is this possible?"

Layne barely had time to say anything. Dusknoir laughed. "There will be plenty of time for questions later! But after you and Layne had escaped to the past, Dialga assigned me the mission of traveling to the past, and retrieving both you and Layne. I failed to get rid of you both once, and I didn't plan on failing again. After I arrived in the past, I gathered intelligence that would help me find you both by posing as an explorer. I quickly became popular in the exploring world, and it would be about a month or two in this time, that I would drop by Treasure Town. It was there, that I met Team Hydro Pyro."

Everyone listened as Dusknoir explained himself. Pyro was shaking his head in disbelief at the words.

"Upon first meeting Layne and Pyro, I at first, suspected nothing, at least until they mentioned something that gave me the tip off. The Dimensional Scream. At first...I was skeptical, but the more and more they explained the situation to me, the idea began to take shape in my mind. A pokémon claiming at one point to be human, with the dimensional scream, I had to consider the chances."

"But...why did he talk to you?"

"Another thing that confused me. But apparently, Layne had developed amnesia. I was fully convinced, and once he told me his name, I knew without a doubt, I had caught the first of my outlaw escapees. So with Layne developing amnesia, my plan worked very well to my advantage. He failed to recognize who I was and his trust was easily earned, I even had him convinced that you were a wanted outlaw. And once you were caught, I must say it was very easy to drag both him and Pyro here."

"But why would you take Pyro here?" Layne asked finally breaking his silence.

"Isn't that obvious. Had I just taken you, I would have caused a much bigger scene. Pyro would have fought to get you back by any means necessary. Because he was your partner, I had to take him. You had already lent your support to preventing the paralysis of time, and I could not think of the possibility of Pyro discovering the secret of the real story to the paralysis of time!"

Pyro was hurt by those words. "You...you really were lying! I can't believe it!" he said.

Layne crossed his arms. "I always thought there was something strange about you, Dusknoir." Layne said.

"Never-the-less, Layne. You fell completely into my hand, and I had you, and now here we stand, at the end. Grovyle, Layne, it's been fun. But this ends now. You are both here, and this whole thing will end, once we dispose of you, and trust me. Your silly Union will be next. Where's your hope now, Grovyle? Get them!"

The group of four backed into each other. Layne suddenly felt crushed in spirit and pride. "Grovyle...forgive me!"

Grovyle said, "There is nothing to forgive, old friend. I'm sorry I did not see this earlier."

"Are you finally going to accept your fate?" Dusknoir laughed.

Pyro looked to be on the verge of tears, but straightened out. "No! Grovyle, Layne! You cannot give up!"

Layne looked at Pyro. Pyro was taking one bold spiritual leap here.

Grovyle looked crushed in spirit too. "How can you say such things? We cannot do much now..."

"Think, Grovyle!" Pyro shouted. "We didn't give up when we were just seconds away from execution! "We cannot give up now!"

Celebi also said, "We've never given up in the past, we cannot start now!"

Layne looked at them and said, "Got any ideas? Because, I'm about as crushed emotionally as Grovyle, right now."

Pyro asked, "Celebi, can you teleport us, just a short distance to the Passage of Time?"

Celebi shook her head. "I can't with the presence of-"

Suddenly a bright flash blinded everyone, but the effects of the blindness were short-lived for Pyro, Celebi, Layne and Grovyle. Layne looked up to see Dialga busy with two other pokémon. He didn't recognize one of them, but he thought he saw...

"Palkia?"

A voice boomed in the group of four's minds. "GO! Celebi! We cannot hold his power much longer! Get them to the passage!"

"Grab hold!" Celebi shouted. Layne, Pyro, and Grovyle grabbed hold and they suddenly became invisible.

Dusknoir cursed and shouted. Up on the cliff, Dialga, Giratina, and Palkia had a short scuffle, before Giratina and Palkia disappeared. Dialga roared and let out a strange aura.

Layne, Pyro, Grovyle and Celebi were sneaking around the group and were just about to reach the passage, undetected by Dialga, when suddenly the air around them...shattered.

"Dialga's revealed us!" Celebi shouted. "Go! Jump into the Passage!"

"Get them!" Dusknoir shouted.

Celebi created a barrier which would hold them out for a while. "Go I cannot hold this barrier forever!" Celebi shouted.

"What about you?" Pyro asked.

Layne simply said, "Don't worry about her! She can take care of herself!"

Celebi nodded, "Looks like he's having a bit more success with his fried memory!"

"Celebi, please..." Layne said.

"Go! Stop the world's paralysis! You must succeed!"

"Celebi..." Grovyle said. "Thanks again..."

"Yes...thank you, Celebi." Pyro said.

Suddenly the barrier broke and Dusknoir and his Sabeleye charged. The three jumped into the Passage, just as Celebi vanished, and disabled the passage, leaving just a glowing orb of light in the ground. Dusknoir cursed himself again. He was too slow again! "Again...They escaped me again!"

Dusknoir knew that his luck would not return with Layne's amnesia and he knew that Dialga would once again not be happy with him. However...once again as last time...Dialga began to supply him with another set of mental instructions...Dialga was putting a lot of faith in him...Dusknoir could not fail this time. He just couldn't. His life depended on it.

END PART IV
