As an apology, I'm going to keep this author's note short!
ENJOY!

Recap!

I opened up my snow covered bag and sifted through it until I found it. "Hello?!"
"It's me, Blue! Where the Distortion World are you?! You've been gone for nearly a week!"
The ground started to make some crumbling noises. "Aaaah!" I yelled. "Now is not the time, Blue!"

A spot of the ground in front of Red caved in and he cried out. This felt awfully familiar.

"What is going on, Gold?!" Blue demanded.
"Sorry! I've gotta go- aaaah!" I shouted as the ground beneath both of us completely caved in.

I slipped through the hole in the ground, dropping my PokeGear in the process. Red fell in right after me.

"AAAAH!" We both yelled as we plunged into the shadowy darkness below us.

End of Recap!

Red's POV (heheh)

Freezing cold wind whipped around us as we fell further and further into the pitch-black abyss. We plunged deeper into the darkness at an unbelievable speed, making it hard to breathe.
I heard a strangled cry next to me. It was Gold.
I could only just see his silhouette as his arms flailed around, trying to grab onto something.

"Gold!" I yelled and held out my arm.
He grabbed my arm and I pulled him into me. I heard him gasp and I rested my chin on his head as we tumbled through the air and fell deeper into the unknown darkness below.

Gold's POV

I grabbed tightly onto Red's arm and he pulled me into him. I let out a little gasp and then he rested his chin on my now hat-less head.
The warmth of his body seeped into my own and I squeezed my eyes shut, dreading the horrible fate that awaited us below.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I felt something flick my nose and I awoke with a start. I sat up and saw Red kneeling down in front of me with a worried look on his face.

"Did you just flick my nose?!" I snapped at him.
He smirked slightly and I scowled at him. I still hadn't forgiven him yet.

I took in my surroundings and my heart stopped. It was exactly like my second dream.

Twisted trees, stairs and buildings were everywhere I looked. Some of them were upside down while others were sideways. Everything around us was coated in a dark layer of mist.
I looked down and saw that we were sitting on a cobble-stone path that was suspended in mid-air. There were many smaller paths attached to this one that lead off to different places. The whole place was cold and it gave me goose-bumps.

"Do you have any idea where we are or what this place is?" I asked Red, turning my attention back to him.
Red just shrugged and I sighed.

This couldn't have been a coincidence. I had those two dreams only a few days ago and now I was here.
We were here.
It was only ever me in those dreams. Why was Red here then?

"I need to tell you something. I had a dream about this place three days ago." I blurted out randomly. "On the day after you saved me, I had a dream. A nightmare to be more exact. I was somewhere on Mount Silver when I was suddenly pulled into an abyss. Then on the night that you first talked to me, I had another nightmare. I found myself in a place that looked almost exactly like where we are now." I finished. "I just knew that those two dreams were connected."
Red sat there with his mouth slightly opened.
"Now that we're actually here, I just know that they were visions. Visions of the future... But. Both of those times, I was alone. So I'm not entirely sure why you're here." I said rather harshly.

A look of sadness placed itself on Red's face and I instantly regretted saying what I did. In all honesty... I was kind of happy to have him with me. It didn't mean anything though! I mean, who would want to be down here alone anyway...?

"Well, what's done is done." I said, trying to cover up my guilt. I stood up and expected there to be pain in my ankle, but there wasn't any. "That's strange... My ankle is alright now."

Just like in my first dream, my ankle seemed to be healed now. This whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.

"Where should we go now?" I asked Red.
He shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head to the side. My hands closed into fists at his incompetent response.
"We could try and find a way out." I suggested through clenched teeth while trying to calm myself down.
Red nodded quickly, sensing my rapidly increasing rage.

Red was still kneeled down on the ground in front of me. It took me quite some time to finally decide on it, but I held out my hand. He gingerly took hold of it and I lifted him up.
He dusted himself off and then looked at me with questioning eyes.

I flicked my head to the left. "I guess we could go this way. We've got nowhere else to go."

I cautiously took a few steps forward and then breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't seem like the ground would start collapsing on us anytime soon.
I made my way down a path that was branching off to the left, Red hot on my heels.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We walked side-by-side for about ten minutes. The only thing that was different about the scenery was that there were no longer twisted objects around us. But it had been this way for a while.

"Arceus! It's like we're walking through hell!" I yelled and threw my arms up in the air. "I'm sure we're walking in circles!"

It was true. Everything around us was still dark and murky. There didn't seem to be any sign of life other than ourselves.
The only thing I was grateful for was that we hadn't encountered that demon-like creature I saw in my dream.

"Let's just keep going." I huffed and continued forward.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The presence of Red walking in front of me was kind of unnerving. He made me feel all jittery and uncomfortable and his returned silence wasn't helping. He hadn't said anything since we fell down here.
It's not like Red was doing anything purposely, it's just that his company was distracting me by quite a bit. I didn't even know why. All I knew was that I was feeling nervous.
All of a sudden, I crashed into something hard but warm. I feel down onto the ground with an 'oof.'

I looked up and saw that Red had stopped suddenly in the middle of the path. "What the heck, man?!" I demanded as I got up and brushed myself off. "Why did you stop all of a sudden?!"
Red raised an arm up and pointed straight ahead.

I was about to question his actions, but instead I followed where his arm was pointing with my eyes.
Up ahead there was a building. From what I could see, it looked like a small cottage. It appeared to be two-storied with a thatch roof covering. There was a chimney protruding out at the top and it had a wooden door that was flat at the bottom but rounded at the top.
It would have looked very homely if not for the eerie, creepy, dark mist that seemed to be pouring out of the windows and the single crumbling path that was attached to it.

"You want to go there?!" I yelled. "No freaking way!"
Red looked at me with pleading eyes and took hold of my wrist, slightly pulling me towards the haunted looking building.

I tried to struggle against his iron grip, but then stopped to think.
We really did have nowhere else to go. We had no idea how to get out of this place and we needed some form of shelter...

"Aw, fine." I gave in. "But if we're eaten by souls possessed by the devil, I'm blaming you."

Red's eyes sparkled slightly and then he dragged me towards the demonic looking cottage.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The pathway under-foot was extremely uneven and I would have fallen over the side and plummeted to my death if not for Red's hold on my wrist.
Speaking of which, he had not let go yet...

The sound of loud crumbling beneath us tore me from my thoughts. The path seemed to shake for a few seconds and we stopped dead in our tracks. The quaking below our feet slowly subsided and then a deadly silence fell over everything.
My eyes drifted to the unstable ground below my sneakers and then snapped back up to look Red dead in the eyes.

"RUN!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. This time it was me who grabbed hold of Red's arm and pulled him towards the cottage in front of us.

I let go of his arm and turned my head slightly to look at the massacre behind us as we ran for our lives.
The path that was once beneath our feet was no longer there. Not only that, but the path continued to collapse and it was catching up to us.

We jumped over the remainder of the path just as the ground that was beneath us caved in and disappeared into the dark void below.
Everything seemed to be in slow-motion as we flew through the air and came crashing down in front of the building. I landed right on top of Red, our faces barely inches apart.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Blue's POV

"Gramps!" I called out as I came crashing through the front door of the lab.

Professor Oak was seated on one of the couches in the middle of the room. He had a cup of coffee in one hand and was using the other to read the newspaper. He looked at me with startled eyes.

"What's wrong, Blue?"
"It's Gold! Something's happened to him!"
"What?!" The Professor spluttered and quickly placed his cup down on the coffee table. "What do you mean?!"
"I called him on my PokeGear! There were loud crumbling noises and shouting! It was pretty bad reception, but I'm sure that I heard someone other than Gold!"

Professor Oak's eyes went as big as saucers and he pulled himself off the couch. He stumbled over to the window which was facing Mount Silver.
I followed him over there and my jaw dropped in horror.

A dark ring of clouds were circling around Mount Silver, almost like an evil halo. Streaks of lighting were crackling out of the clouds and I could hear thunder booming.

"This is bad. This is really bad..." I heard Gramps muttering to himself quietly as he slowly backed away from the window. "I thought it was just a myth..."
"What's bad?! What did you think was just a myth?!" I yelled as I demanded answers.

"That's one of the many entrances to..."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Red's POV

I felt a heavy weight on my chest and my eyes snapped open. My own red orbs looked into the mesmerizing gold eyes of Gold himself. His face was only inches away from my own and we were both breathing heavily.
A deep scarlet blush crept across his face and his mouth was opening and closing, trying desperately to form words.

"Uh- I'm sorry!" He blurted out and pushed himself off me. He shuffled quite a distance away from me as I pulled myself up into a sitting position.
I brushed his apology off with a wave of my hand and then looked around

We were now seated on the ground in front of the creepy cottage. I could tell that Gold really did not want to go in there by the way his body was shaking slightly. Well, I'm pretty sure that's the reason why he's shaking.

I heaved myself off the ground and made my way over to Gold. I looked down at him and noticed that his eyes were darting in all directions, probably trying to avoid eye contact after that awkward situation.
Just like I used to do on Mount Silver, I hooked my arms under his knees and neck and lifted him up. I felt his body go rigid and he looked down at his hands.

I sauntered over to the door of the cottage, Gold completely silent and motionless in my arms.
The door was already opened slightly, so I kicked it the rest of the way open with my foot. Dust flew everywhere and it irritated my eyes.
Gold gave out a little cough as I searched around the cottage for a place to put him.
I was almost out of energy when I found a bed on the second floor. It didn't look all that comfy, but it would do. I put him down on the bed and he instantly turned away from me.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest, but just like with all my other emotions, I brushed it off.
I sat down on the floor and rested my head against the bed. I doubted Gold would be comfortable with us sleeping in the same bed.
I closed my eyes and shivered slightly as I cold draft blew through the cottage. Even under the harsh conditions, I drifted off into a soundless sleep.
