ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

...did that Elgyem just fall asleep?

-continues moving supplies into the supply shrub-

-Some time later, after leaving the Tower...-

Woolly: <So we're going to talk to Portales?>

Unite: -Nods.- <Yep. Like me, he's been searching for a Tao Dragon as well.>

Woolly: <Really?>

Unite: <Yep. Except where I was looking for Reshiram, he was looking for Zekrom.>

Woolly: <Oh...>

Unite: <Hmm...Oh! There he is!>

-Unite flies down to a formless island and lands on it, Woolly following. Portales is asleep in the middle.-

Unite: <Here we go, then.>

-The Braviary pokes the Beeheeyem gently with his talons.-

Unite: <Hello? Porta- I mean, Beeheeyem?>

Thats my Elgyem.

-puts elgyem in bag to sleep-

Night night Elgyem.

-the sleeping Beheeyem curls into himself further, and shakes his head, apparently having a nightmare-

That's somehow both cute and sad.

Woolly: <Er...I think he's having a nightmare...>

Unite: <Oh...Poor thing. Gotta' snap him out of it.>

-Unite grabs the Beeheeyem and gently shakes him with his talon.-

Unite: <Come on, buddy! Wake up!>

Beheeyem: -mumbles and halfheatedly waves his arm around, trying to swat Unite away-

Dream Elgyem: <Where am I?>

Unite: <Darn, he's a stubborn one.>

-Unite sighs.-

Unite: <Woolly. I need you to shock him. Gently, though.>

Woolly: <Oh. Okay...>

-Woolly gives Portales a weak jolt of electricity.-

-The Beheeyem immediately jolts awake and frantically swerves his head around. After a split second, he dodge-rolls out of the area and begins floating a few feet away from Unite. That's about when he gets a good look at who is above him...-

Beheeyem: <Unite? Where did you...?>

-As we fly towards [REDACTED](uh?), I carefully check the suit's armpads; they seen to have two little sockets, but since I can't examine this at this altitude, I decide to wait until we land. I take note of the extra effort Dusty requires to carry all of us-

— Maekrite? I think you should return to your- oh, wait, you don't have a Pokéball in this timeline...

Maekrite — <That's right!> — tries to move ears against the wind — <But I wouldn't! This is so cool! Wheeeeee~!>

-I sigh-

Wonder how would Dintel and Algira be in this timeline... Shahinne would likely not even have been born... I'm sorry...

Unite: -Nods.- <Yes, it's me. Oh, and my friend Woolly, too.>

Woolly: -Waves.- <Hi! Sorry for shocking you.>

Unite: <Okay. This is the Dream World, Portales. It's a place where Pokémon go when they dream and...Eurgh. I'm sick of explaining it, so I'm going to cut right to the chase. I have some information that may help you find Zekrom.>

-The Beheeyem blinks, looking confused, but shrugs it off-

Beheeyem: <I'll be glad to inform you, Unite, that I was just in the middle of excavating an area where I had thought the Dark Stone would be, before suddenly I was thrust into this... Dream World. What happened to my body in the Real World?>

Unite: <You must have fallen alseep for some reason. Did someone use Sleep Powder or Grasswhistle or something like that?>

Woolly: <Or someone's mind controlling you.>

Unite: <...What?>

Woolly: <Just a guess?>

-Unite rolls his eyes.-

Unite: <So, about Zekrom. I think right now, he is currently asleep. And in that state, he looks likes like a small round stone with strange carvings on it. Just like the stone I found in the Resort Desert, but coloured Black instead of White.

I'm not sure where it might be exactly, but once you've found it, let me know and we'll work together on what to do next. Because...I've found Reshiram's stone, Portales.>

How much further is it, Silent? I don't think Dusty can keep this up for much longer...

Wait wait wait, I thought this was like dream selves? Where if the Dream Self is awake then the Real Self is asleep???????? Also, would it KILL EVERYONE if I could just let my characters NOT REMEMBER EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEIR MEMORIES WERE CHANGED!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

Beheeyem: <Portales? Who is Portales?>

That's what I thought too. Also I wouldn't have a problem with that.

If you mean their original-timeline memories are still missing? Yeah. Unite is just using the names he's familiar with; they don't have to understand him.

— Well, I'm not exactly sure. From here I can't distinguish any of the landmarks that-

Maekrite — <That way!> — points paw to a direction slightly to the right — <It's just at the horizon!>

— ...What? Maekrite, you sure?

Maekrite — <Yeah, the laboratory, right?>

— Yeah... — to Luke — perhaps we ran a couple of miles off-course. But there it is.

ooohhh okay.

Unite: -Sweatdrops.- <Oh. I'm sorry, i got you confused with this other Beeheeyem I know. Ahaha...>

-Unite shakes his head.-

Unite: <Anyway, you find your stone, then contact me to let me know. Then we'll both go to the Dragon Spiral Tower and try and get our Dragons to wake up. 'Kay?>

Alright, thanks Maekrite! Dusty! That way!

Dusty: <Okay! -Phew...>

-Dusty changes his course, now hopefully heading towards to labs.-

Beheeyem: <Very well. How do I get out of the Dream World then?>

Whoa. Calm down there Nelly. It's good to see you back though, read through the recap page yet?

The only resistance mission that was named was sending a few Pokemon to help out in Pinwheel Forest, where there is another resistance force. It seems that people forget about that little tidbit. But there were a few un-named missions so Portales could be in one of those.

Inside Pinwheel Forest

-Die is slowly slinking through the forest, checking out for traps with his claws and tail and sniffing ourt scents with his nose. This means that the group is progressing slowly, which is starting to irk some of his band-

<Houndoom>: <Grrr! THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG!>

-The Houndoom makes a bolt for it, before being stopped by Die-

<Die>: <FOOL! DID YOU NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! YOU COULD OF KILLED YOURSELF!>

-Die brushes away some leaves and twigs in the path the Houndoom was bolting in to reveal a Punji Snare Trap. The Houndoom just stand there in a state of shock-

<Die>: <Do you understand why we are taking this carefully now!?>

<Houndoom>: <...Yes sir...>

<Die>: <Good! Now let's continue or else our throats be cut!>

-Die winds his way through the forest, the group not questioning his methods now-

Woolly: <Oh! That's simple! You just have to go back to sleep, and then you'll wake up in the real world again.>

Unite: <If you want to come back here again, just go to sleep with the desire to come here in your mind, and you should wake up here again. Easy.>

Beheeyem: <... Alright. I have no idea how or why these 'Dream World' shenanigans are happening but, I think I will just go with my instincts and trust you. I will... see you in the Real World then, I suppose...

...

Do you know anybody who can use sleep powder on me? I have trouble getting to sleep on my own.>
