"What'reyou-" Eunmi felt herself pushed down, her nose inches from the ground as she caught herself. "Geroff!"
Luckily for Henrietta, D-Vee jumped up and took the hit, arms crossed to activate Protect. The force of the Psybeam still knocked him back, though, and he crashed into Henrietta. Eunmi scrambled to her feet to let Dali out of her arms.
"Water Gun!"
Dali jumped and sprayed the attack at the same time. The creature at the end of the hall became encased in the fog and it was too difficult to see if it had hit. Another pulse came from the mist, this time a white beam that looked like cloud-like rings and a loud, droning sound came from the depths of the fog. Whatever the creature was, it used Yawn.

Henrietta was knocked to the floor with D-Vee. Her arms wrapped around him to protect him as she landed hard on her back, the wind knocked out of her. She struggled for air and when it finally came it was the gas of the Yawn attack.
"E-eunmi!" she cried as she sat up, D-Vee still held in her arms, and she tried to find her friend.
And the world melted away.

Eunmi was in the process of fumbling with her Pokedex to try and find a means of attack when she was hit by the Yawn attack. Her body went limb as her legs gave way and she fell over. The purple fog rolled over them and the eyes approached the collapsed teenagers and their Pokemon.
Bzzt...M...na... Dr...m Ea..er... Pok...mon.
The Pokedex was muffled under her weight and she barely heard Henrietta's shouts as she fell asleep.
The mist slowly swirled around them, glowing a dark purple as the Munna used it's Dream Mist to take control of their sleep and invade their nightmares.

Robert Fratley
Striaton City -> Dreamyard
As Robert waited, he could see mist rising up in the distance. It was like smoke, but not the same color. Something didn't seem right. Robert took out Freya's Pokeball and released her once more. "Come on Freya. Let's investigate what's going on over there." Robert said. Freya gave a nod and followed behind Robert as he charged over to what the people of the city called the Dreamyard.
When he arrived, the mist was rather thick, limiting his vision. He turned to his Lucario."Freya, I need you to be my eyes." Robert spoke. Freya did as Robert had spoken, closing her eyes and using the sensory lobes on the back of her head to sense what was around her. After a few short moments, the Lucario sensed two human auras, both in the prone position, as well as another aura floating above them, this one unknown, but it was definitely the aura of a Pokemon. Grasping Robert's hand, the Lucario ran, leading Robert towards the fallen humans. Both expected danger, but neither one of them knew what they were about to face.

Flurry kicked his surf into overdrive as the pansear shot the flames at him. If he was going down, it wouldn't be in vain. He widened, thickened, and heightened the wave, using all of his energy to make sure the water would still get through and hit the pansear. His only hope was for a tie. He dived through the wave and took the hit from the flame burst, not allowing it to waste any more of the wave. Soon the wave would come crashing down on the pansear as well, and with it's immense size it was seemingly unavoidable.
Though his pokemon had fainted, Saden smirked, "No, you don't get it. Trainers cover their pokemon's blind spots but likewise they cover ours. Sometimes there are moments when things are happening so fast and they cant just wait for an order, they have to think fast! Flurry knew once pansear shot the flame burst that it would finish him off and wipe out his attack, so he took the full hit and left the wave to hit pansear. He knew he couldn't win so tried to tie it up, which is not something I would've though of myself, especially that quick. Battles are for both trainers to show off their training, and the pokemon to show of their skills, not just one or the other."

((Just a note, Robert, Henrietta and Eunmi are both underground right now.))
"No matter how big the wave-
Pansear rose the two balls of Hidden Power and fired them into the water. The electric current passed through it, creating the process of electrolysis which was the separation of the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Something that took concentration, power and skill.
And when it was done, only the gaseous molecules passed by Pansear, this battle was over.
-it won't crush the fire of our soul!"
Chili looked upon Saden who spoke highly of his Pokemon's teamwork. How they worked together to decide moves. Chili's Pansear normally only did that when calling moves was impossible, or Chili was busy talking.
Spheal had done well, it certainly had the skill and training to earn the badge. Saden, as a trainer, knew what he was doing. Their strategy would have worked against a lot of new trainers as well as medium skilled ones. He had definitely passed the bar, so Saden himself, despite his loss, might have been surprised as Chili pulled the badge from the machine before him.
"Right there, we could feel that flame in your soul. You pass," he said as he made his way to the center of the frozen arena, offering the badge out to Saden on an extended hand.
"You got me fired up, you better nurse that flame into an inferno!"

(Alright. I knew there was a hallway, but I didn't see where it was underground. Also, will you be controlling Muna/Musharna's actions?)
Robert Fratley
Dreamyard
Robert could barely see a couple of feet in front of him, so he had to rely on Freya's senses. She led him into the entrance of an underground facility. The mist was getting thicker, limiting Robert's vision even more. He could only feel one wall of the hallway they were in with his free hand.
Once they reached to be within twenty feet of the source of the mist, Freya let out a low growl, sensing danger. Robert knew what Freya's growl meant, as it was a warning to him that there was something up ahead that Freya felt hostility from.
"I won't be able to guide you through this since I can't even see the opponent, so I'll trust you to handle this after I give my first few commands." Robert said quietly. "Use Swords Dance and follow it up with Extreme Speed. I don't know what is ahead up there that you feel is a danger since I can't see, so I leave the rest up to you. Do what you feel is the best course of action" Robert spoke quietly into his Lucario's ear.
Freya gave a nod and released Robert's hand. Her eyes still closed and her senses locked on the Pokemon that was using Dream Eater on the two unconscious people that she could sense, Freya began to perform a short little martial arts dance to boost her attack power before then throwing herself at full momentum at the Pokemon with the great speed of her Extreme Speed attack. At this point, the battle was in Freya's hands now.

The other Pokemon(Freya) closed the distance with skill and speed. But it made one faulty move. Moving that fast? There was no way to control your speed. Thus, unless she abandoned her attack, she would run head long into a Yawn attack(course that means she'd hit as well) and that meant that soon she'd be asleep.
***
Mist obscured everything. She couldn't see more than a foot ahead, couldn't make out anything. She'd been in a hallway before, right? Then, why was it that everything seemed so open now? She couldn't see it but she felt it. The Pokemon held tightly in her arms was a comfort, until her arms felt the fur and she looked down.
A stuffed Darumaka doll. Hadn't she been holding D-Vee?
"H-hum?"
Henrietta slowly climbed to her feet and looked around. "E-eunmi?"
No response.
She started forward. No sense standing around, right?
And that's when the whispers began. Teenagers, children, preteens, adults. Henrietta looked around to see the silhouettes in the darkness. Mumbling, pointing, giggling, laughing. What were they saying?
"Purple hair? What, was being a loner not enough, you had to go emo, too?"
"You should have stayed blonde, at least then you weren't pretending to be smart."
"I hear she practices kendo and beats people up in the night."
"Really!? I bet if she snaps she tries to slice up the school instead of shoot it!"
"I wonder if she's mute?"
It went on like that and Henrietta hugged the doll closer to herself. Whispers from her days in Nimbasa. Normally, she could ignore it. No, she could ignore it now. She tuned it out.
Just words.
And then it got louder, and more shadows grew and formed. Various ages and voices.
"S-stop," Henrietta whispered but her voice was lost. Then, all at once, the figures swarmed on her and she stumbled back, releasing the Darumaka doll to be trampled by the swarm of people. Her back touched a wall and she felt someone grab her arms and she jerked but the grip of the shadow was too strong, too firm.
"S-stop!" her voice rose, but she couldn't hear it, it was lost in the crowd. She couldn't even hear herself think now. It had all regressed, from taunts and gossip to flat out laughter now.
"Stop!" she cried.
"Hey, you gotta learn to defend yourself," said a voice that cut through the laughter. No, it silenced it. Henrietta looked ahead to see the shadows part and look down the end of the 'hall' of them. Eunmi stood at the end of it, hands on her hips.
"People are just going to walk all over you if you can't stand up for yourself, you know," she said and she approached, the shadows dispersing as she passed them. Like some beacon of hope.
"Eunmi," Henrietta said, but she had no other words for the other girl.
"Come on, stand up for yourself. Do you think I can just protect you, hm?" Eunmi said.
"I..." she tugged at her arms but they were still held firmly. "I-i'm trying."
"Try harder."
"I-i C-can't."
"Do it," Eunmi said, standing before Henrietta now. "Everyone will walk all over you otherwise."
"I-i'm t-trying." Another tug, but she couldn't escape the grip. So, she tried to step forward, to no avail. She looked down to see her legs held as well and then she felt her head jerk up, a grip around her neck.
"Come on, if you don't do it you're going to be eaten up by everyone," Eunmi said.
"I-i c-can't, p-please h-help."
"Help?" Eunmi smirked slyly and she stepped closer, placing a hand on Henrietta's shoulder. "Didn't you learn before? I'm one of the people whose bound to take advantage of you."
"H-hum?"
"You thought I meant it when I said I was sorry?" Eunmi laughed. "You're too naive!" Her hand moved from Henrietta's shoulder, up her neck to her hair, tucking it behind an ear as she drew closer.
"Stop!" Henrietta commanded and she pulled at her arm but it wouldn't come free. Eunmi drew closer still and, just as their lips met, her arm came free and she smacked Eunmi who dispersed, collapsing like sand and seeming to blow away in a non-existent wind.
Henrietta was free now and her face was bright red and burning.
Then laughter came. From one, unknown source. Henrietta wheeled around to come face to face with the pink creature known as Munna.
"You have such an interesting mind, human," said the creature with a cackle.
"Wh-what?" Henrietta said as she took a step backward.
"You heard me."
"H-how?"
"Hrm?"
"H-how can I understand you?"
"Because language works differently in the mind than in person. It would be difficult to explain to you," Munna said.
"I-in the mind?" Henrietta said.
"Yes. In the mind, your mind, which is where we are. Those kids were right, you're dense."
"M-my mind? Wh-why? Wh-what's going on?"
"You people attacked us, so we're dealing with you now. You two are just the firs-
And then Munna vanished suddenly and Henrietta felt a pain surge through her, like something was torn away from her entire persons. She winced and keeled over, her arms wrapping around herself and gripping at her sides.
Seconds passed.
"Henrietta!" came a familiar voice. One that unnerved Henrietta just to hear. Her head shot up and she saw Kijin approaching. She climbed quickly to her feet and began to back up.
"You can't control your Pokemon! You should head back home before someone dies!" he shouted.
"I-i can! I-i can control them!" Henrietta protested.
"Wrong! Someone is already dead!" he shouted and pointed at Henrietta who looked down at see that something was gripped between her arm and chest.
A head. Wayne's, and it was rotting.
With a scream she threw it away and stumbled back into an invisible wall. She looked at Kijin who looked at her with disgust.
"It's too late, now there's only one way to deal with you," he said and he approached her. She tried to run but her knees collapsed on her as the smell of death approached. She fell to her knees and looked up to meet hands grasping around her throat.
She gasped futility for air and grabbed the hands, trying to pry the fingers free. It was no use, she only had one choice. She used her arm reach to reach his face, catching him in the cheek with a fist and he stumbled back, stepped forward and his fist met Henrietta's nose, sending her sprawling.
"I'll make sure you don't hurt anyone else!" Kijin shouted and Henrietta stare up at the falling tree, manifested as if from Kijin's hate and it would come to crash down on Henrietta.
***
Henrietta's eyes shot open, her body drenched in sweat, clothes clinging to her skin, tears running down her cheeks and she struggled to catch her breath.

Robert Fratley
Dreamyard
Freya would be unable to stop at her speed. She plowed through the Yawn attack and slammed hard into the Munna. As she landed, she could already feel her body start to become drowzy. She knew that whatever she did, had to be done fast before the slumber took her. Gathering the shadows into her right paw, the Lucario created a sphere of ghastly energy (Shadow Ball) and launched it at Munna, hoping to hit it hard while the Pokemon was still recovering form the Swords Dance-boosted Extreme Speed attack. Once she had unleashed her attack, however, her body slumped to the ground and into a deep slumber.
Robert heard the sounds of fighting up ahead. He kept himself close to the right wall as he made his way towards the sounds of combat. When he reached the area, he felt his foot tap against something living. He looked down to see his Lucario sleeping. He then herd the sound of someone trying to breathe, down on the ground a little bit behind him.
Robert recalled his Lucario into her Pokeball and brought out Beatrix, his recently acquired Kirlia."Beatrix, scan the area with Psychic. Whatever put Freya to sleep can't be too far away." he spoke before making his way over to where he heard the noise. "Are you alright? What happened here?" he asked.

Eunmi opened her eyes slowly and saw light clouds drifting over head. She was laying on her back on a hard surface. She sat up quickly and looked around, recognizing the place immediately - it was one of the accessible areas of the roof to her high school that she and her boyfriend would sneak up to.
"Hey you," a voice spoke from behind her. She twisted and looked up to see someone she definitely recognized. Sam, her boyfriend, sat down next to her.
"I had the strangest dream," Eunmi replied, leaning sideways and laying her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah?"
"Like we graduated already and stuff," Eunmi said, lifting her hand to play with his hair. "I got a Pokemon. Me. Hah."
She laughed as he wrapped his arms around her.
"We did graduate," Sam said, kissing her on the cheek. Eunmi jolted to the side, twisting quickly to look at him.
"Bu-" she stopped. What was going on? "Then... wait."
"Why'd you break up with me?" Sam asked. He looked sad. Eunmi scooted a few inches back, trying to formulate when it was.
"I.. Sam, it got all... complicated," Eunmi said. "I mean, come on, I couldn't come to practice anymore and-"
"It wasn't because of the stupid club," Sam spat. "Just admit it. You changed."
"I did not change," Eunmi said, her voice raising as she started to get to her feet. "I'm the same person I've always been."
"Yeah right," Sam said, now both of them standing. "You stopped caring about school, about me, and about everyone else. You started dressing differently and acting like you were better than everyone else."
"That's not what happened. Don't twist this around and make me the bad guy."
"You got so upset that I took over the club. That I was better than you. Just admit it."
"Better than me?" Eunmi scoffed. "The thought never crossed my mind."
"Liar. That's all you cared about. You were lucky to graduate with your grades - sucks too, 'cause I know how much your mom wanted you to go to college."
"Shut up!" Eunmi dove at him, throwing her fist at his face, but he expertly caught her hand.
"She made you become a Pokemon Trainer because you're not smart enough for anything else."
"You a**," Eunmi growled, twisting and bringing her leg up swiftly to kick him. He was thrown back, his grip released on her hand.
"If you'd just tried harder to be normal, you'd be better at school and at Pokemon Training." Sam tossed an object forward, and a burst of light let out an Oshawott.
"I'm way better of a fighter than you and a trainer. Oshawott, Razor Shell!"
Eunmi rose her arms to block the attack, but the blade of blue hit her directly, tossing her over the side of the roof. Eunmi shut her eyes, knowing that in less than a second she'd hit the ground. But the second came and went, and she wasn't dead.
Opening her eyes, she found she was standing now. She wasn't at her school anymore, but she couldn't place where she was.
"And you call me weak," Henrietta's voice said. "I thought you were supposed to protect me."
"I... tried," Eunmi stared.
"You can't even get your Pokemon to listen to you. You made everything worse."
"You can't say that, you had like the worst two days in history-"
"Don't tease me!"
"I didn't mean that, Henrietta," Eunmi replied.
"You're Pokemon don't like you," another voice said. It was that green haired guy. He was kneeling down, D-Vee at his side.
"How the heck would you know?" Eunmi said.
"Because Pokemon don't like bad people," Henrietta replied. "Come on, you don't even want to be here."
"I'm not a bad person," Eunmi said. "A-and Dali-"
"Just because you decieved a Pokemon into thinking you were a worthy trainer doesn't mean you deserve it. D-Vee knows better," the green haired boy said. His eyes glowed as he stood up, and a blast of purple light shot at Eunmi. She rose her arms to block, squinting enough to see the green haired kid fade away and a round Pokemon replaced it.
"Who are you?"
"You're just like them," the Munna said. "Your ambition and your actions don't match up."
"What are you talking about?"
"Stop lying to everyone," it replied, but this time with Sam's voice. The Munna faded away.
"You should just let your Pokemon go and go home," Sam said. "You're not cut out for this."
Eunmi turned to face him, but saw an Oshawott - no, Dali - slashing at her with another Razor Shell and D-Vee shooting a blast of fire.
* * * * *
Eunmi opened her eyes and found her self lying with the side of her face pressed against the ground. Her body felt like jello, but she forced herself up. She didn't know where this new guy had come from, but she didn't mind considering he seemed to be fighting whatever had attacked them. She looked over to Henrietta, who was in tears with a similar expression to how she felt.
"...th-that thing," Eunmi rose her hand to her head. "I don't know."
"I don't think it was real," Eunmi said to Henrietta. "Whatever you saw, it wasn't real."
It couldn't have been. She looked to D-Vee as he rose to his feet. He looked angry - angrier than she'd seen him before.
"Smeargle Smear!" he roared at the Munna. He slapped his tail on the ground and quickly formed a sketch of a cresent moon with a swirl in the center. A black pulse of energy shot towards the center of the foggy mist, a Dark Pulse unleashed from the paint brush tail D-Vee held in his hands.

Munna was thrown backward by the Extreme Speed, crashing through a door and into a messed up room. The debris that exploded upward in its crash provided the cover that came when the attacks came. The dark pulse would crash into the debris and Munna would twist out of the way of the shadow ball.
Tired and pained, it glared down the hall.
These... bastards... in its home...
"Mun... na..."
Henrietta, meanwhile, lay on the ground still. A new boy, one she'd never seen before, stood over her. And over where she recalled her being? Eunmi. Henrietta slowly sat up and looked at both of them and then down at the end of the hell.
Pitch black darkness. With Darumi unconscious now no light existed to illuminate the hall and Henrietta could only make out the forms of the two humans nearby.
"I-i d-don't kn-know," she replied first to Robert.
And then she looked at Eunmi and her cheeks lit up, turning a shade of red. "H-hum, y-yeah," she looked away, "a-a d-dream."

Robert Fratley
Dreamyard
"Whatever that Pokemon was, it must know Hypnosis or Yawn. And that being the case, it's probably also packing Dream Eater." Robert said. Between the mist and the and the lack of any sort of lighting, everything was so dark. He had no Pokemon that could use Flash, even if he had the HM CD, and the only one of his Pokemon that could guide them without any light was asleep.
Robert took out his third Pokeball. He wasn't sure if the mist was flammable or not, but if anyone of his Pokemon could shed some light in the room, it would be Garnet. Robert released his Combusken. "Garnet, I need you to sustain a Fire Punch to give us some light. If you see the flames act out of control, then cut the move off." Robert spoke to Garnet. The fighting bird gave a nod and held up her right clawed fist, causing flames to swirl around her fist. It would burn away a small amount of the mist and offer some light. "I suggest we find the exit. I don't know the particulars of what's going on, but unless you two have some sort of business here, I think we're only going to further agitate whatever Pokemon attacked you." Robert suggested.

Tk and his pokemon let out a sigh of relief simultaneously, Tk patting his bloated stomach, Iron Hide lounging on its back. Spike dead asleep and Lancer reclining on the branch of a nearby oak.
Feeling better both physically and mentally Tk thought it best that he head back to straiton and apologize to the EMT, 'its the right thing to do' he reasoned as he re-called his pokemon, placing Iron Hides Heavy ball on his trainer belt along with Spike and Lancers regular pokeballs. He doused his cooking fire and put the capsules the housed his camping equipment back in his book bag.
With his pokemon Full, his stuff back in his book bag he clicked the heels of his sneakers together revealing a pair of in line skates in the soles of each show. and off he was, heading back to straiton City, himself in a better mood. 'after this, its straight to Nacrene City to take on Lenora and study up on this region a little more' he thought as he skated down the dirt path of route three, nearing the break point between the route and the City.
--
[Back in Straiton City]
Once the young boy re-entered the city he headed straight for the fire dept. once there he cornered the EMT that he so rudely spoke too and later fled from. "please forgive my outlandish behaviour earlier" he said loud and clearly with a bow. the EMT Gave Tk a pat on the shoulder, "its ok, i kinda understand how you were feeling at the time. probably a little bit helpless? am i right?" asked the hulking EMT, "yea..." replied Tk. "but you know, there's been reports of a mysterious fog around the dream yard, and normally i wouldn't ask this of a boy so young as yourself, but you seem like a pretty capable trainer. would you mind looking into it for me? id do it myself but i got my hands full here" the EMT said motioning over to the stack of paper work. at that Takamaru's eyes lit up, "OF COURSE!" came his reply with a salute, and off he went, heading for the dream yard.

"Not a dream," Eunmi said to Henrietta. "A nightmare."
"Deev, c'mon. Calm down, it wasn't real. Just because it's outnumbered doesn't mean we have to beat it to a pulp."
She helped Henrietta to her feet.
"How did you get in here?" Eunmi asked. If he'd found a way in, he must have come from a different direction, because the way they'd come, well. Yeah.
