Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reaper: "Awesome good for you, im thinking about catching a fire pokemon soon so see ya later."
*stands up and walks around and trips on something*
"Owww man that hurts, what was that?"
*turns to find abra with his foot out trying to trip me and he did*
"God abra your good at tripping me."

Reaper: "Ok cool, lets go then."
*heads for the volcano teleporter*

Cody stepped onto the teleport pad with Totodile's pokeball in hand. "Ready buddy?" he said as he appeared next to Reaper. He let Totodile out of his pokeball and started to look around for a pokemon.

Cody walked around until he ran into a wild Flareon. "Totodile, let's go. Start off with Water Gun." Flareon attacked first with a weak Quick Attack and Totodile countered with Water Gun. Flareon came at Totodile with Flamethrower, but Totodile blocked it with Water Gun again then followed up with Bite.

"How is Flareon attacking before Totodile sometimes but not always?" Cody wondered. Then he realized something attached to the pokemon. "It's a Quick Claw!" he shouted. "Totodile, hit it with Slash."

Totodile ran up to Flareon, but was nailed with another Quick Attack before almost being knocked out by Slash. Cody threw a pokeball. It shook once. Twice. Three times. *Bing* Cody had caught a Flareon. He let out the fire type and headed back to HQ.

MISSION: Nightmare on Oak Street
While taking a load off to sleep, you've fallen into a nightmare! This nightmare is like no other as you can't wake up from it! In your dream, you will face Archie, Leader of Team Tsunami, controlling a dark-purple Darkrai. You have none of your pokemon on you, so you will have to battle the oddly-colored Darkrai yourself... .

Pokemon:
None

Rewards:
Upon defeating the Darkrai, you will wake up. That's the best reward anyone can get with having Archie in their dream! 10,000pd and either a Lunar Wing or a Lunar Charm are also at stake.

As Ginji softly feel to a silent sleep on the slope of Mt. Moon, the birds chirped of in the distance. The ground was so soft, so lush and perfect in every way. He wished he could lie there forever, even though he knew everything must come to an end. It was sad, but it was a cold hard truth. The boy just continued to lay out in the sun of the morning, trying to evade real life for as long as possible.

Nothing seemed to change for the longest time, until the sky went black. Out of the blackness, came light. No. The light never came. It was more like an explosion. And then there was light. The scene shifted to a wooden Oak desk and a blackboard. Chalk, paper, luminous lights. All the things he hated. Summer School. Ginji tried to let out a scream, only to find that he couldn't speak.

"..." he paused for a moment to consider what had happened. Either Stephanie had learned how to teleport people into their worst nightmare, he was going insane, or Archie was behind this. Given the fact that he still had most of his sanity, and his sister couldn't have possibly learned how to feed on the nightmares of others, it most certainly had to be Darkrai. The very thought of Darkrai made Ginji's spine tingle as if by a chill wind. He softly regained his composure before looked around the room for anything he could use to his advantage.

As he moved from his seat at the front of the class, a flurry of books and paper swords hovered in the air for a short amount of time before changing their trajectory to aim themselves directly at Ginji's head. Noticing the new threat, the boy quickly picked up a nearby ruler to defend himself Kendo style. "WHACK! Whack! WHACK!" as the paper based assassination objects fell to the floor in a silent matter, showing no sign of re-animation.

Ginji let out an uneasy sigh as he checked his persons to do a quick inventory check. As he stuck his hands in his pockets and pulled them inside out, nothing fell to the floor. And as he unzipped, turned upside down, and shook his backpack, nothing fell to the floor as well. He looked to his belt, hoping to see any sign of a Pokeball. Again, nothing. He let out a silent scream as he realized he had a whole lot of nothing. At least he still had the clothes on his back.

Scratch that. The boy looked down at the ground only to realize he had come to school in his boxers. He hung his head in shame, it wasn't that the dream was bad, just improbable. How many things could go wrong in one dream sequence?

The room was suddenly filled with everyone from Aqua, from the starting days to the present, and even to what appeared to be the future. And he was still in his boxers. He didn't really try to hide anything as he was raised to be proud of what God had given him, but it was still a bit embarrassing to be seen almost nude by his coworkers and friends. As a series of giggles and screams, he let out a rose colored blush on his cheeks just below his eyes.

He had to get out. As quickly as his attention turned from the snickering Aqua members to the closed door on the right, he was at it, mouth open and arms flailing at the sealed door. As he was hitting it, the Oak door turned to solid steel and his academic prison turned into a real one. Ginji sighed again as he turned around to see a real life Skin Head. Let's hope his doesn't drop the soap.

He banged even harder as the door gave way, or rather exploded away, to reveal the rest of the prison, which was concrete and gloomy by default, it was hard to believe his nightmare was now centered around this, it wasn't that scary. "Darkrai must be losing its touch." Ginji thought as he ran down the empty corridors of the prison. "What more could there be to his evil plans?" he thought to himself as the scene shifted once again and he was standing face to the mystery behind it all.

Darkrai.

Yet he wasn't alone, the oddly colored Darkrai was with its captor. Archie. Ginji looked to the stage now to find himself surrounded by in impenetrable darkness that seemed to permeate the very existence of life itself. Archie chuckled before silently pointing a lone finger at Ginji, signaling to the nightmare to attack. Darkrai rushed at its enemy, a spooky hand outstretched behind it, gaining power from the pure fear that was immobilizing its prey, slicing Ginji in the gut and sending him hurdling backwards in pain.

Lying on what seemed to be the blackest grass ever imagined, Ginji lay bleeding. Wasn't the most fun experience, but it still wasn't scary. Why wasn't Darkrai scary? Ginji sighed as he thought of all the legends concerning the Nightmare Pokemon. Not one considered it to be a goody two shoes or a saint by any means. Always the opposite, always the boogeyman. "I'm not scared of the Boogeyman." Ginji managed to fight against the spell binding his voice box.

What happened next could only be described as a flood of memories and conversations about nightmares, fear, destiny, and of course, astro-dynamic physics. Through all of these memories he recognized few, perhaps they weren't all his. Another one went whizzing by, as it flowed into his being he could hear the voice of a terrified little kid and the parent sent to comfort him in the night. "Only you have control of your dreams..." Ginji yelped as if he was bit by a pair of fangs, he found his weapon. He had formed his resolve. Now Archie was going to pay.

He stood up, fully clothed, and brushed his hand against the spot where Darkrai's claws had penetrated his skin, the blood seemed to flow naturally back into his bloodstream and the skin folded together nicely, healing as if the attack was never struck. Ginji chuckled as looked at Archie with an unforgivable glare. "You exploded our home, you attempted to kill out family, and stole our Pokemon. You murdering, backstabbing, thief with fish for brains!" he yelled with such effect that the scene became bright again. A meadow with few trees to speak of. Archie looked spooked himself as he noticed his hold becoming weaker on Ginji's Realm. With a swipe of his hand, he ordered Darkrai to attack again.

This time he wasn't so lucky, Darkrai collided head on with an Energy Blast of Ginji's own creation and was send hurdling into its false master. Ginji rushed at the pair again, stealing the powers of Darkrai he sent an orb of dark energy at the Pokemon and its trainer, sending them into a deep sleep within their sleep. He then proceeded to use both his new found power and Darkrai's power to slowly drain their Energy by feeding off of their Nightmares.

Even Nightmares end, as even the coldest showers gets warm eventually, the scene faded as the blonde woke up in his street clothes at the base of Mt. Moon, bark sticking everywhere and the sun still shining as it was when he was coaxed into the deep sleep. "I need to get some Insomnia Potions..." Ginji sighed as he walked back to his tent, thinking about what this meant for the future of himself, Aqua, and the world. "If Archie can put us to sleep anytime, anywhere, this could be a valuable to the execution of our decommissioning him..." he smiled as he curled up in his sleeping bag and went into a dreamless sleep.
