Theo tilted his head a little at the unclear answer. "Adventuring? You lost me there" He was clearly confused. "A princess asking for help does sounds like some cliche RPG game. But what does it had anything to do with academy?" Theo inquired further, his eyes glancing toward the darkness at the end of the bridge. "Nasty and looks like the only way out from here too" Theo commented, that thing looked bad and definitely unsafe.
The nidoran at Theo's arm didn't care about what's going on as it proceed to sleep. It was trying to recover its strength.
"Oh me! Oh my! Can't you hear? Has the dream not quite taken ? Oh dear!" The Munna chimed, fretting over both Jasmine and Theo, though as Vanni awakened her limbs began to flail "Oh my! Oh me! What's an Academy? A place to play? To read? I fear that's not what we need!" The Princess rhymed, limbs beginning to flail "Oh me! Oh my! The darkness lurks...EEP!" All further words would be cut off as Raven struck the ground, the Munna uttering a short, sharp peep before dropping from the sky herself. Evidently this was all a little too much excitement for the poor dear, and she had fainted as a result.
It was then that the creak of old hinges would be heard across the tiny isle, a rather regal figuring stepping out from the confines of the only dwelling. With a sharp, beak like nose, and a thick furry ruffle protruding from round, the Pokemon's regal visage could be none other then that belonging to a Hypno. Unlike others of his species however the Hypno bore a monocle in front of his left eye, a gnarled cane in the opposite hand "It would seem, ladies and gentlemen, that this is all a little too much for our dear princess. Please allow me to answer your questions" The Hypno spoke calmly, moving slowly onto the grass and toward the Munna's fallen form "This, as her highness has stated, is the Dream World. Presently this world finds itself in quite a 'pickle' as some might say. As of late a darkness has begun to encroach upon our lands. We know it only as the Nightmare" The Hypno explained, gesturing to the billowing blackness across the bridge with his cane "Recently we were made to flee the castle proper; however in the process the Princess's elder sister Queen Musharna was taken by the Nightmare. We know not her fate, but must act as if the worst has befallen her. In the hopes of defeating this 'Nightmare' and saving her sister, if indeed that is possible, the Princess has called you, all of you, here."
"Whether you choose to act upon her request is entirely up to you..." Briefly the Hypno's eyes glinted "...however, I fear that while the Nightmare reigns, returning you home will prove quite impossible."
"Let's just say that this Academy is no ordinary academy. I recently enrolled too. So far I like it and have already made an adventure recently. A cyber adventure is more like it. But that's a different story."
Reminiscing about the cybernetic adventure Sora had, he almost forgotten to introduce himself. Coming back from his memories he faced his attention to the boy.
"Sorry, where are my manners. My name is Sora. And this is my Poochyena." he introduced.
Poochyena continued to roll around on the soft grass. He'd never felt grass this amazing before. Whatever this place was, he never wanted to leave.
Right after he had introduced himself, a noise would chime throughout the small island the students inhabited. Out of nowhere a Hypno had appeared, but this one was different than your average Hypno. This particular pokemon wore a monocle as well as a cane. He gave a short brief to their current situation as Sora listened.
"Well, there's your answer. We're in the Dream World." he said to the boy.
A huge smile broke across Vanni's face as the youth slowly pulled himself up. Oh, it was the princely boy from the realm of computers! That was nice; more people she recognized! "We're very glad you're not dead!" she chirped, still mildly curious about the flames.
However, before she could comment, the Princess gave an over-excited shriek and fell to the ground. And then out came the Hypno. The girl tensed up so sharply that Culann could feel it; the Growlithe quit his sulking for a moment to press his bulk protectively against her. Vanni... did not like Hypno. Not at all. Her nervousness around psychic-types, which had been put at bay by the Princess's sweet mannerisms and Momo's distractions, began to creep back at full force. The Munna, she could kind of put up with, as it was girly and pink and a little dopey. Hypno, on the other hand... well, the one Hypno she'd ever met work at the hospital where she'd been taken after the incident. He had been nice enough, for a psychic Pokemon, but he'd poked around in her brain with all the delicacy of a Tauros in a china shop. Not to mention how he'd tried eating her dreams! She scoffed at the memory. As if that would erase her damage! Vanni was glad she'd given him indigestion.
Despite her annoyed mental ramblings, she had registered what the Hypno said. It seemed the Academy wasn't renting out the children for hire... this time around. But what had caused this particular set of people, all presumably connected by the Academy, to be brought here? Still, you never lead with your best question. Swallowing her aversion, she calmly asked, "Is there a place for us to heal up before dealing with this Nightmare, good sir?" She couldn't quite keep the clipped notes out of her tone, but she was still polite. "I'd imagine some of us were taken unprepared for this kind of quest."

"I know this isn't normal academy, but not to this...weird"Theo replied, the cyber part was weird though, but it showed that this wasn't strange occurrence. " A cyber space and then dream... It won't be a boring school life. At Least"he grinned at that, finding it a good news. His recent unease had receded greatly. Quickly adapting was his strong point. Then the guy introduced himself as Sora and his poochyena. " I am Theo and this is Crocus" Showing the sleeping nidoran.
Theo didn't get to talk more as a hypno stepped in to brief them in place of the fainted munna. Telling them about the nightmare, them being called and that they couldn't return without solving the problem. He nodded toward Sora, telling him he heard what he had said, then turned back toward the hypno, "That's one tough choice you are giving. It's either do or trapped here and perish along"Theo spoke not toward anyone really, but more like "you got me there" tone. Another girl asked the hypno with formality of calling the hypno 'lord'. She had asked the question about healing their pokemon. " My pokemon are in dire need for healing. If there is a place to heal them, it would greatly help"Theo spoke again to reinforce the girl's question.
Jasmine watched on, not quite sure how to react or who to talk to, with all this activity it wasn't unusual fir the girl to shrink back, tugging her hat just a little more to obscure what wasn't already hidden by bandages of her face.
Quietly however, she continued to shake her Chansey, until finally Nightingale would yawn.
[Ready for duty...] Nightingale would rouse, stretching her tiny, stubby arms. The Chansey nurse would look around, quite having forgotten the fact she was supposed to be in the middle of a fight with a Toge-thing, look at the strange scene, with an old monocled Hypno, a girl spinning around like a Spinda and a boy on fire...
Back down she would lay. [I've had worse dreams...]
Jasmine would sigh again, this time she grabbed her crutch, taking steady aim over the Chansey's head, swaying back and forward like a golfer getting ready for a swing...
And lightly bopped the Chansey instead.
Up she sat this time like a rocket, holding her head, for a moment, before confiscating the offending crutch from the girl glaring daggers at her trainer. [Jasmine! What are you playing-]
As Nightingale would realise she was still in her 'dream', Jasmine would have to play the voice of sanity for now. "We're on a mission. Explanations later, promise."
"But for now you've got a new patient," she would nod toward the fainted Munna princess there.
Apprehensively Nightingale would regard the flaming Raven and wonder why he wasn't her patent instead, but moved forward regardless, a respectful bib to the Hypno as sge would approach, extending her Aromatherapy as a method of smelling salts to try and rouse the over exerted Munna.
Jasmine would look at Theo, something equal to a smile there on her face, "You must be new here... This happens surprisingly frequently..."
"Think of this as... Extra credit."
Then she would look to the Hypno, and couldn't help think of Regal the Slowking, right down to the monocle, "I don't think you'll find any unwillings here... But can you tell us any more about this Nightmare so we can fight it for you?"
Nakano would rouse slowly as she yawns and rubs at one eye. The girl's stomach would grumble her slight protest at being waken at all, and she would yawn again before rolling over as one of her hands would go to scratch her rear.
"Five more minutes."
She would mutter and go back to sleep. She probably would have stayed that way if the sound of someone hitting the ground hadn't startled her awake as she jumps up and then actually tries to pay attention to her surroundings. Her eyes narrowed as she would finally push the fog of sleep away enough to realize.
"HOLY SH&#!"
"NOt again!"
She would scream out. This academy was a very strange place, though they were evil to the core supposingly, they were always being asked for help and dragged into missions that made her cringe.
"No, no ...no, I was so close."
She would pull at her hair as she sat back on her rear. Nakano before this new adventure had started had been traveling through the Pokeland Island looking for parts. NOt an easy endeavor at all, she had only managed to get two of the five parts she had needed, and had found a place full of more parts.
There was no promise she would ever get back there again ....as she actually wails unhappily.
"Noooooooooooo!"
"I can't start over again ...I will never get off that stupid island!"
"No ....No...No .....take me back, send me back."
The girl had woken into full drama mode.

For a time the Hypno waited in silence, patiently letting the humans prattle before answering their questions. "My humans are such unobservant creatures...did you ever think to look? To check your companions? I suppose you all think these are your real bodies as well then? Hmm?" The Hypno remarked, lifting his nose slightly "This is the Dream World. Wounds from your own world have no place here. Why that young lady over there could be walk about spry and limber as a young birch had she the mind too" The Hypno stated, gesturing towards Jasmine. "If you still find yourself still too intellectual deficient to understand the concept, then you may find a place of rest within the house. Dreaming within a dream can have rather...intriguing effects on those not native to these lands."
At this point the Hypno turned away from the children, gesturing faintly at the darkness with his left hand "As for the Nightmare...it is big, it is dark, and it consumes all...roughly the extent of our present knowledge. We do not know of it's motive, it's source, or anything of the like. You'd find it quite difficult yourself to sit down and examine something whilst running for your life."
Shaking his head, the Hypno would snuff slightly "Really, humans. Pokemon would have understood immediately; but no, her highness insisted on human heroes like the ones in her childish stories and picture books" He said to himself, his disdain for the children behind him left clear and unmasked. Striking his cane one against he ground, the Hypno would proceed to lift up the tiny princess with one hand, stuffing her under his arm much like an old tome before turning to face the gathered trainers "Are there any further questions?"
Nakano's ear would twitch as the Hypno spoke, and explained things even more clearly ...for some, but for her there was only one important question as she would rush him literally.
"YES!"
"When we go back, am I going to wake up back at the entrance to that theme park again? or back where I last was?"
She was literally making it a point to barge through anyone's else question to make her own at that point. THe thought of starting back at the start of that place made her cringe as she asked the the question and waited with no .....sort of patiences whatsoever.

Momo turned to watch curiously as the boy on the ground recovered. Upon the sight of the flames, she brightened. He must be part pokemon! What fire type was he related to?! Hm, there were endless possibilities. Vanni was happy that he was up and about. As Momo was about to ask him, he recalled the Steelix and out popped a scarred Charmander. Ah! So he was related to a Charmander! Interesting. She thought he might've been related to a Growlithe. Oh well. Her thoughts were interrupted when the Hypno appeared. The Spinda girl merely glanced at him before spinning once more. He was inviting them on an adventure? Save the princess and defeat the Nightmare? It sounded fun! She was always up for adventures! This meant that she could meet more pokemon and make lots of new friends. It was at this time that she finally noticed there were other students around. More friends!
"Knew you were fine!~" she exclaimed, giggling turning her attention back to Raven.
Jasmine just grimaced at the backhanded reply she received, and her particularly being singled out.
"Real or not... If we are as we envision ourself here.. Then find it hard to imagine myself from any time before I looked like this."
"And I'll apologise for my question being too vague in that you're asking for a lot from us... All we're asking is for basic facts to help... Things like where your Queen might be found, things we should be wary of, any resources to aid us, anything that might help us sneak upon your... Nightmare."
She looked at Nightingale, the Chansey still trying to tend to the Munna there, whilst she thumbed her other pokéballs and looked at her egg, this mission was scarce enough on her team as it was...

For an instant the Hypno's good eye twitched, his nose upturning further. Eyes narrowing the regal Psychic-Type began to look down upon Nakano and Jasmine, as time ticked passed he began to look further and further down upon the two, until he was abruptly starring straight up. So down they were up, that was his view of them. "Human's truly are simple minded creatures aren't they? Deaf as well it seems" The Hypno snuffed. first turning his attention to Jasmine "Where her majesty might be found is quite obvious enough, or do you see some other path off this island?" He began, indicating the bridge "Resources are what you see around you; and as for your final question...did I not just remark we know little more then you yourself can see?" The Hypno remarked, continuing to look down on the child before making a brief, irritated tsking sound.
Once he was done with her he turned his attention to Nakano, arching a brow as he looked down upon her as well, taking this time to shoe a certain pesky Chansey away from the Munna princess beneath his arm "As for you...this is a dream child, not some sort of magic or psychic teleportation. You shall awaken wherever it is you fell."
As if summoned by the word 'awaken' a bright light would appear around Jasmine's person, specifically at the location where she kept a certain egg. Glowing rather then shaking or cracking, a swirl of energy began building from within. When the light reached the point of blinding it would leak away in a single thick drop, condensing and taking on the shape of a Pokemon. With bright blue eyes half open, the newly born Rotom would give a small, static filled yawn...the oddity however would be that Jasmine would still find the egg on her person...well it made sense; the Hypno had said himself these weren't their physical bodies, and so it stood to reason egg hadn't actually 'hatched'. The Rotom however was ready to come into the world, it's mind and body fully formed...and so it had faced the slumber same as anyone else, and more then likely it would hatch properly as soon as they all awoke.
Adjusting his monocle at the new arrival, the Hypno would lean in, giving a faint snuff as he muttered "Poor thing...to be raised by a human..." Shaking his head lightly at this truly sad fact, the yellow Pokemon would gesture to a small sign by the house "If you're still too lacking in the basic ability to furret out the conclusions yourselves, that sign there explains the uses of the basic facilities of this garden."
"I see, no wonder graduate from this academy is all so... strong. Real experience no other academy provided" Theo replied toward the heavily bandaged girl. She bore wound much more worse than his. Seeing the girl's wound made him touched his own bandaged right eye on reflect. They hypno had said that their physical wound won't carry over, but Theo rather stayed this way. No reason to give himself hope his right eye would ever see again or indulge himself in something that would never return.
The way the hypno looked down on them made Theo wanted to smack the pokemon, but he held his temper down. That hypno was the only one who could provide them with information. It would not do to anger it. Yes, 'It'. Theo no longer had respect for the pokemon. He won't even be surprised if the hypno turned out the source of the problem, he looked unwilling to share any of his knowledge,but vague answer. His attitude toward the supposed Munna Princess was disrespecting too. Theo didn't asked anything further, he was sure to say something sarcastic if he did. Better to hold himself down and listened to what the other's question. His face was a mask, hiding his true emotion.
He actually wanted to talk with Sora a bit more, but not with the hypno here and that he had to pay attention so not to miss any information. He could socialize later, after this brief was over.
"Quite..." Raven said, his voice lacking emotion as he continued to brush himself off, removing whatever the flames hadn't already burned away "...I would not allow myself to die so easily" The boy stated, before mentally adding Nor shamefully. Once his form was clear of excess dirt, Raven would rest his left hand upon the pommel of his sword as usual, allowing his cloak to flow over and conceal his other arm before hooking his thumb into the top of his sword-belt; one of the closest things to a relaxed gesture he would allow in such an alien environment. When the Hypno spoke the boy turned to listen, waiting to gleam any important details; but with every word from the Psychic's mouth his blood heated, the his hair rising and ruffling slightly like an angry bird. Those nearest him would even note a thick, throbbing vein upon his forehead, his eyes practically ablaze.
Everything about this Hypno served to irritate him. It's tone, it's demeanor, it's words, even it's appearance were distinctly reminiscent of the average noble. For an instant he even entertained thoughts of drawing his sword, and stabbing the Psychic-Type in the face, specifically in it's big pompous mouth, thus promptly ending these events...but such notions were hardly productive, and they certainly wouldn't save the Dream World's Queen, who was as of yet not known to possess the same behavior, and thus perfectly innocent. He could shove the Hypno's own monocle down it's throat later.
While Raven bristled, Fable would however examine their surroundings. There was no battle here, previously or to be had for the moment...an odd thing given the nature of his trainer. There certainly seemed to be Pokemon to challenge. Noting three whom were particular near, Fable would stray ever so slightly from Raven's side, first sniffing the Growlithe near the snowy skinned girl in green, then sniffing toward the Emolga perched on what was certainly the largest...and admittedly only...Spinda he'd ever seen...wait a second...THAT WAS NO SPINDA!
Tail flame flickering slightly in embarrassment at this error, the Charmander once more looked from one Pokemon to another, then in a small voice said "..um....hello."
