The Dreamyard is near to Striaton city and is home to the Pokemon that can control dreams. Most people stay away, for fear of the dream pokemon. However, those who brave the dangers will find many rare Pokemon lurking in the shadows and hiding in the grasses. There isn't much to see in the area, save for a delapidated old building that appears to have been crumbling for many years now.

The trio trotted into the dreamyard, pausing a moment to take in their surroundings. The Dreamyard seemed to be an abandoned lot, some grass, and a crumbling old building. "Huh, there isn't much here." The once hobo mused aloud. "That once proud building should offer some shelter. Let's set up next to one of the walls for the night. They shuffled through the yard.

They dropped the snacks into a pile and Kenjiro removed the outer layers of his outfit and folded them into a pillow set it aside. He sat with his back against the wall, opened a bag of trail mix and handed it to Masura, which the mon began to pick about. " Come have a seat here Rin." He beckoned to the third amigo, patting the ground next to him. " No matter what happens, I'll promise to do my best to take care of you and Masura and anyone else who joins us." Kenjiro let out a sigh. "I failed to take care of my family once, and then I lost everything, them included. I may be unkind to others, but I will never mistreat you." He opened a bag of Karp Krisps offering it to the otter beside him before grabbing a bag for himself.

"This place is oddly serene. It looks a mess, but it's really quite peaceful." The old man yawned. "It's a wonder this place is so empty." He thought for a bit to himself. His eyes became heavy. The excitement of the day finally caught up with him, and he let out a soft snore.

Just then, attracted by the smell of food...

Kenjiro snored aloud. Masura's whiskers twitched and the Dedenne stopped eating detecting a threat. In preparation he started aggressively gathering electricity in his cheeks. "Tch. Masura that stung, if you needed..." The old man complained groggily rubbing his eyes. "When did it get so dark...?" Kenjiro looked at his partners, Rin was nodding off, and Masura was on alert. He returned Rin to his pokeball. "Rest for a bit something's up. "

Rin leapt from his perch and took a defensive stance as a set of peering bright eyes shone themselves from the darkness. Kenjiro stood up and commanded. "Masura, charge up until we know what we're dealing with!" Loud sparked danced across the area until they built up around the mon's cheeks. A pink mist rolled onto the battlefield as the shadowy figure approached the duo. "That must be why people don't come here often."

Kenjiro became rigid. "We won't just be intimidated. Masura Thundershock!" Sparks began to fly from Masura's cheeks as a jolt of electric energy shot out and struck the shadowed foe. A scream of pain rang across the Dreamyard. "Looks like that's the- " The scream continued to get louder and louder reverberating off of the wall they camped against when suddenly a loud reverberation knocked Mon and trainer against the wall.

The figured appeared through the mist, pink and menacing. Kenjiro and Masura picked themselves up, Kenjiro cradling his ribs. "Looks like I got careless. Masura quickly!" He coughed. Another beam of electricity struck the creature. Kenjiro using a bit of strength took some supplies out of his pocket and hurled a pokeball at the pink menace. A successful strike! After a few shakes the ball chimed with a successful capture. Kenjiro held his side and pulling out a potion to spritz Masura. "Unfortunately I don't think we're alone yet."

POKEBALL GO Foe Purrloin is caught


The persimmon mouse-like pokemon stood panting on the darkened battlefield, another foe fell to its electric might. It huffed heavily, exhausted from the onslaught of wild pokemon it dealt with. The old man looked on with rigid languid eyes. "We're backed in in a corner, otherwise I'd tell you to take it easy." The old man looked down at himself with disgust. Hey now, is now really the time to pity yourself? So you screwed up, you'll continue to screw up. Remember Dad always said it's not that you make mistakes, it's that you learn from them right? The old man looked up as a bolt of electricity sent another foe to unconsciousness.

The old man reached into his pockets, but found a lack of healing items. When he found naught, he looked up again at his exhausted companion. "Masura, time to go back in you ball, 'till we can get somewhere safe." Reaching deep into his coat pocket he took out a pokeball tied with a pink bow and unwrapped it. He then pointed it out, and called back his persimmon pal.

"Leave the rest to me." The old man said before looking up at the sky. He scrunched his face up into a frown. "You can come out, I've worked in a office long enough to feel murderous intent. " The creature stepped from the darkness, causing Kenjiro to guffaw. "Really? You're the pokemon people are scared of? " Kenjiro continued his obnoxious remarks as he backed up to the wall he originally napped at.

The pokemon had enough a rushed forward attempting to swipe the old man with its bladed arms. Within seconds of the blades running him through, he dropped and tumbled forward past the creature as its blades stuck into the wall. The old man's expression was blank as he stood up and dusted himself off. "I'm honestly disappointed. " He spoke with a calm voice as the Scyther struggled to free itself from the wall. He placed a pokeball to the back of it. Within a few moment the chime of a capture echoed through the dreamyard once again.

"Daddy, what's your favorite type of Pokemon?" Kenjiro smiled and looked down from his paper. "Well there are a lot of types." He smiled looking down from his paper at his little girl. She was like sunshine, bubbly and smiling. " I bet it's Pie-tic like Sabrina da' gym leader." Within a blink she was younger, hair a mess, toy in hand. "While psychic is an amazing type, and Sabrina is an amazing gym leader." He started picking up his little girl. " I believe Dark type is my favorite. You don't see many in Kanto and people often mistrust them, but Psychic isn't very good against them, and I'm kind of like a Dark type." "You're not a Pokamon. You're so silly daddy." She was a child and he was sitting in her room. "It's because..." "No one can ever tell what you're thinking! You're always at work! That's all you ever think about." A preteen yelling at him in the hallway. "I just can't..." She cut him off nearly screaming, tears in her eyes. "Yes you can! They already took grandpa are you going to be next?" "Mieko... I..."

Sunlight hit his face, he had collapsed again, back against the wall. He pushed himself up, glancing back out to the field with a scowl. "Another nightmare." A floral scent, like the smell of flowers, but dead flowers drifted into his nostrils and his body felt heavy. He was forced into a yawn, looking up to see a floral menace.

Masura is too weak, and Rin lacks experience. Guess I 'll have to use the one itching for a fight. He reached into his pocket and tossed out the red and black ball. " Get ready, you're up. "

He returned the mon, picked up the new capture, put both in his pocket and began limping back to town.
