Rosa's Pov

I woke up in the middle of a small Town... I could see people staring at me in concern, close to me, trying to help. I stared at them and looked at my surroundings. where am I? And how did I get here?

"Don't let Team Plasma get away" I heard someone say. ah, I'm still wearing the uniform. I should probably take this off now. I'm not cold anymore and I used the uniform so I can blend in back in the base

I sat up and sighed "calm down" I looked around for Zorua and Ditto. they were sleeping next to me. I returned them and stood up while taking off my hat and mouth mask "I'm not Team Plasma"

'Nightmare...' I flinched and looked around. who was that? It's none of the voices I recognize before and it didn't like anyone said anything

If I can remember, no, I remember, that Giratina told me something back before he dragged me here... there's a young child that needs me... why does a child need me?

I don't like the feeling around me right now. it feels... like what I felt in the Celestial Tower "Are there Spirits here?" Everyone looked at each other

"Well, theres a strange house on the other side of town..." the guy near me said. I furrowed my brows and nodded. so Giratina wants me to deal with a ghost? I already dealt with the other ghost in that tower and they freaked me out! Not my parents, seeing them was nice... but seeing other ghost is... I don't even know the word! Yes I do, Insane

"Alright" I took off my gloves "I just want that stupid Pokemon to get off my back" if this will make Giratina leave me alone, than I'll go meet this ghost. or Ghost Child

"Chimecho" I send her out "let's go to this strange house" something ran over me. I fell in the ground in a oof.

"Sweetie!" I looked up and saw a little boy frozen in place in a running pose. huh? The woman ran over and tried to move him "why won't you move??"

"I can't..." his mouth couldn't move either. I looked down at where my hands were and saw them under the kids shadow... I lift my hands and watched him drop, finally moving again. I sat up and stared at my hands... what was that?

'Shadow Bender' one of the Shadow Triad's voice echoed in my head. Shadow Bender... I shook it off and stood back up.

"Take me to the Strange House" Chimecho nodded and teleported me in front of a abandoned building. the air feels odd around here... alright, lets go in so we can find Sewaddle and Nate after

Nate's Pov

"This feels nice" I sighed while feeling the warm air around us. The temperature here is soothing for my cold skin

"Well" Juniper spoke up after we landed in Lentimas Town "I suppose I should tell you why I brought you out here, actually Blade, but you know" she laughed embarrassed "Cheren told me that a group of people calling themselves Team Plasma are planning to use Legendary Pokemon to take over the Unova Region"

"You got to be more specific than that" Blade walked over with Victini on his head "Victini is a legendary" she nodded

"Of course" she looked at me "as you may know, In the Unova region, there are two legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon: Reshiram and Zekrom" Blade nodded

"But two years ago, Reshiram and Zekrom each recognized a trainer as a hero. Angel and N" He explained "they are following those trainers. so Team Plasma shouldn't be able to use the Dragon-Type Pokemon..."

"That's true.." Bianca said "what could they be planning?" I pointed at myself

"Already on it" Juniper closed her eyes

"There is much we don't know about Reshiram and Zekrom... that's why I want to hear what Opelucid City's Gym Leader, Drayden, has to say about this"

"Drayden?"

"He's a dragon-type Gym leader, as he might know something" Blade said

"So, we're finally to the reason why I brought you here" Juniper smiled at us "you said you're going to Opelucid City anyways, correct? Please do hear what Drayden has to say" I nodded

"Got it" I looked away

"Nate?" Bianca frowned at me "are you okay..? You seem like you lost your happy mood" I closed my eyes

"I'm fine"

"And" Juniper said "I would also like you to help if something happens" I walked away

"It's my job" I waved "see you later" I felt Blade catch up to me

"Wow, you really are serious when it comes to work" He chuckled "looks like Rosa not being here really affected you"

"I'm serious in work even if she isn't here. she just keeps my heart from darkening or freezing" he nodded understanding

"It's really best not to get involved with Team Plasma to start with, but still... Angel went through some real crazy things" he sighed "hearing what Drayden has to say about the Dragon type Pokemon will be really interesting" I said nothing "and more importantly, it will help fill up the pages of your Pokedex!" I looked around and saw people looking at each other, gossiping. I walked over to a young boy and his mother

"Excuse me" I showed them my badge "is something seems to be the matter?"

"Oh... it's nothing really. we thought we were in danger because a Team Plasma Grunt had appeared into town from the air, but she seems to have wondered to the Strange House on the other side of the town" I nodded and looked at the boy frowning at the ground. I put Woobat back on my head and squat down to him

"Is something wrong?" He looked away

"I think she moved my shadow..." huh? His mother moved him away

"I'm sorry, something odd happened to him, but he's fine now" I stood back up and stared at them.

"So, Strange House you say?" She nodded "alright" I looked at Blade "you go on ahead, I'm going to check out this strange house the grunt went into" he nodded and stared at me. I ignored him and send it Kadabra "Kadabra, take me to the other side of the town" she looked around and frowned "Kadabra?" She shook her head and teleported me in front of a abandoned building "this is the strange house?" She nodded and made herself go back inside the Pokeball. that was weird...

I walked into the building and found the furniture arranged in odd parts of the main room I was in front of. papers were scattered on the floor, the light bulbs were popped, the paint was pealing off and I think... I saw some of the furniture move...

Don't be scared, thats dangerous for a heart like yours Nate. you're on the job and you need to stay focus

'How can you stay focus with your temperature dropping by the minute?' Meloetta asked 'calm down Nate, this is no time to be thinking about your Cleffa and your father' I looked at her confused 'even if you don't think you're thinking about them, you are' I sighed and looked around

"Whatever, let's just find that grunt" Woobat flew out my head and went downstairs "Woobat!" Where it went off to?

'Follow?' Meloetta asked. I nodded and made my way to the stairs. books were all over the place.

"July 13 19**. Dear Diary..." I heard a voice say. I quickly hid behind a book shelf and peaked through the books to see a female grunt reading one of the books out loud "today, my parents have brought me home a female Abra! She's so sweet and shy... I hope we can be good friends" a sweet and shy female Abra? That sounds familiar

"July 16 19***. Dear Diary... we just moved into a wonderful home! It's great! There are many rooms and lots of space to run around with Abra!"

"July 24, 19**. Dear Diary... huh?" The grunt tilted her head to the side "I can't read this... hm... Nightmares... darkness... help me..." she flinched and dropped the book. she stared at something that was next to her, like something was staring. "Who are you..?" Huh? There was nothing there. she looked up "where are you going?!" She groaned and put the book back in its place "dammit Giratina, why did you have to take me here? Angel is the one that can read hearts, I don't know what to do!" She threw her hat on the ground and sighed. I blinked confused at her hair style. Rosa?

I noticed her closing her eyes and lean her back on the book shelf, crossing her arms. I stared at her for a moment before she collapsed downward. I quickly ran up and caught her

"Rosa!" Meloetta flew up to her. Woobat landed on my head

'She's fine... she's just looking into someone's background' someone's background? Rosa snapped her eyes open

"Hey" I smiled. she rubbed my cheeks and frowned at me "Nate..." tears ran out her cheeks "I'm so sorry..." I tried to smile, but it only came out as a sigh

"For what?" I held her cheeks, I'm really happy she's here right in front of me

"You should have told me..." I frowned and helped her on her feet. why do I have a strange feeling like she knows something... her own body just slammed into the book shelf on her own "agh!" I quickly held her close

"What was that??"

"The little girl..." I looked at her confused. she was frowning at the floor "her ghost is here... and there was a shadow her... ghost who brought their shadows with them are not safe to be around" I looked around at the strange feeling around us

"Come on, let's go" she shook her head

"Rosa.."

"She's in a internal nightmare... I have to take her shadow from her..." I looked at her like she was crazy

"Take her shadow from her? You can't do that!" She stared at the wall "you... can take shadows?" She looked at her hands

"I... think I can hold them" she grabbed my hand and started running through the house.

"Rosa, what's going on?!"

"I..." she stopped and looked at me in a frown "I... saw your past Nate.." my eyes widened "Your dad..." she looked away and bit her lips "he- Ah!" She screamed as her body was slammed onto the wall. I gasped and rushed over

"We got to get out of here!" She shook her head and groaned

"No... she needs me" she ran off on her own

"Rosa!" I looked at Meloetta and saw her disappear. I looked up at Woobat "Woobat! Find Rosa!" It nodded and lead the way.

Rosa's Pov

I walked into the building and the first thing I saw was a furniture moving on its own... "this is creepy..." Chimecho nodded and flew off on her own "Chimecho?" I followed her towards some stairs that lead downstairs

Here were millions of books! I love books!! But they all looked old and some were ripped in half. "there's have to be one that looks in good shape" I said to myself as I scanned through the book shelfs. I know I'm suppose to be looking for a ghost, but I'm fascinated with books, they're sort of my obsession. my room back in Kanto, when I was still living with my parents, was filled with books. how else would I be able to write a fiction story?

I found 4 books against each other straightly. While the others looked like they were dumped, these 4 stayed in place perfectly neat

"I almost don't trust this..." I started sweating nervously. Chimecho was breathing down my neck "Chimecho!" I returned her "I don't like when you do that..." I picked up the pink spin book and opened it to the first page.

"There is a Pokémon called Cresselia in the far Sinnoh Region. It's wings shine like the crescent moon and keeps nightmares away" that's all I could read... the rest of the pages looked burned off. I put the book back and took it a black one

"There is a Pokemon called Darkrai in the far Sinnoh Region. to protect itself it drives people and Pokémon away with terrible nightmares" the rest of the pages were burned off, I kept flipping till I saw another readable sentence "some Pokémon know a move called dream eater but this move a Pokémon attacks where while the target is asleep and eats its dreams" everything else is burned. hm... why does all this seem like it's gluing together?

I picked up the green book and saw that most of it was perfectly fine. the handwriting was beautiful...

"Wow..." I ran my fingers on the sheets. this must be a diary... should I? Why not? This place looks abandoned anyways. "okay..." I started reading "July 12 19** I was walking through the meadow as our family was traveling towards our new home... my baby girl, Emily, I can see her walking through the flowers, picking them happily. my eyes gazed upon a large rock. there was something staring at us all... I was curious and wanted to see what it was. a Abra! A sweet and shy Abra that blushes when I said how cute it was. this would be a nice gift to give my daughter!" A Abra huh? Nate had one of those before it evolved into a Kadabra

"July 16, 19** Dear diary... we moved into a lone home that was right near a mountain. there are no other houses here... it was just this nice little home that was big enough for my little girl and her Abra I gave her the other day. the two absolutely loves each other!"

"July 18, 19** Dear Diary..." the pages look sort of like they were wet before "this house... it's wonderful from what I'm seeing, but when my Emily was in her room, reading to her Abra in bed... something... I saw something..." I bit my lips "a shadow with blue glowing eyes and white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head... it was only a glimpse of what I saw, I was too worried about my daughter, I couldn't think of what to do! I was about to run after my Emily, when something in my head told me 'don't mess with a shadow' I froze and just helplessly watched my daughter being or to sleep..."

"July 19, 19** dear D~iary... she wouldn't wake up... she wouldn't open her eyes.. she cries in her sleep and there's no doctor within miles of here... my husband thinks she's having a nightmare, I'm starting to believe that this is the doing of a Pokemon... Darkrai" Darkrai... "What I read in my research, a Pokemon named Cresselia has feathers that can help wake the ones in the internal nightmare"

"July 20, 19**. dear diary... I had told Abra to watch over my Emily until me and my husband left to find Cresselia. rumors had it if you prayed for her in a specific time in a special area, she will find you and leave you a feather..." The diary never entered another entree... I wonder what happened

I took out the blue book and stared at the cover "Emily's Diary" her diary! Maybe I can know what happens! I opened the Diary and started reading

"July 13, 19** Dear diary, today, my parents have brought me home a female Abra! She's so sweet and shy... I hope we can be good friends!

July 16 19***. Dear Diary... we just moved into a wonderful home! It's great! There are many rooms and lots of space to run around with Abra

"July 24, 19**. Dear Diary" the pages looked like... blood was scattered to write something. my eyes widened at the strong smell.. "Nightmares... darkness... help me" I read out loud

"Will you help me?" I heard something say next to me. I turned my head wide eyed and looked down at a little girl with brown hair in knots, bloody tears on her cheeks, black holes where her eyes should be, her clothes were ripped and her fingers had bloody stains... oh Arceus. I dropped my book in complete shock and fear

"Who are you?" I tried to sound as normal as possible. the girl tilted her head

"An everlasting dark dream... and endless dream of darkness... dad, mom, Abra... where are you? " She ran off

"Where are you going!?" She ran into the wall and disappeared.

'She held a shadow after she died' huh? Giratina? 'She didn't keep her light with her, she kept her shadow... she's a lost spirt. I want you to go after her' I groaned and put the diary back in its place

"Dammit Giratina, why did you have to take me here? Angel is the one that can read heart, I don't know what to do!" Or so I heard. He was annoying me!

'But Angel can't see human spirits, only Pokemon Spirts' oh? 'This is what you can do and only you can do... I need her shadow' how am I suppose to grab it? 'Shadow Bender... you can steal Shadows' what the!? I threw my hat on the ground frustrated. why is everything happening to me!? He just said I can... steal shadows? As in... touch them? I remember having my hands over the little boys shadow, he couldn't move... and that time when I peeled on my own shadow when Giratina and I first met... I really have the ability to hold Shadows? As in... control them?

If Giratina wants me take this girls shadow, might as well find out her life story... I laid my back on the book shelf and closed my eyes, crossing my arms, to get comfortable on seeing through the girls memories

The little girl, fully alive, brown eyes, a green dress, perfect brown curls, was running around her room with Abra. they laughed together till the day went old

A woman was standing on the door way, watching the girl, who I'm guessing is Emily. this is the time when that shadow... when Darkrai, is going to arrive...

The room was lit with a single candle, Emily used it to read for Abra, who was happily close to her. there it was... Darkrai's shadow was creeping out of a dressers shadow till it became its actual form. the mom was terrified but I know that voice in her head made her not move

Darkrai stared at Emily. Abra was staring at it in a frown. Emily's eyes went heavy and she just fell forward onto her book. Abra used her body to keep Emily from falling straight to the floor.

Emily's parents were devastated... they packed up some food for the road and told Abra to take care of Emily. Abra wasn't positive about this, but she stayed by Emily's side

I watched her parents walking far and wide to find Cresselia... but there was no sign of her. they ended up in a cliff. the water crashed onto large amounts of rocks. the mom put her hands together and prayed for Cresselia. I looked down below their feet and noticed the ground was weak...

"No..." I shook my head "look out!" Their bodies fell downward into the ocean. I cupped my mouth and watched the image around me change back to Emily's bed room. Abra was crying a storm... could it be..? No... "Emily..." Abra shook her head and cried into hands. I cried to myself and looked down. a shadow was moving and crawled towards her to cover her in black ink like liquid...

Abra stopped crying and used teleport to take Emily's body to the same cliff her parents left and dumped it in ocean. Abras eyes were balling out... I cried and wanted to hold her, but this is only a memory... but wait... who's memory? Emily couldn't have seen her parents died

Abra stayed in the same place she dumped Emily in. Many years past and a bridge was starting to be build... She stared at the bridge and teleported else where for the first time in 20-30 years...

She teleported into a home. a home... I found very familiar, but it was sort of different. "where am I?" I asked myself. Abra hid herself and look at a family staring at the door. a man was holding a suit case.

"Dad... where you going?" A little boy asked. I furrowed my brows and walked over to take a good look at him. he had wild brown hair and lovely brown eyes, standing over Mandy... Mandy!? Nate's mom! Than this little boy is... Nate?

"I'm sorry son, I can't stay here..." the man said. was that his father? The one that left him when he was younger? "I have business to do"

"You're just going to leave me!?" Mandy cried "and if not me, leave your son!? He looks up to you! Think about what he feels!" I looked at Nate crying like crazy. his dad kept walking

"Dad.. please" Nate begged. my heart broke when I heard his voice sob.. it hurts me every time I hear his voice change like that

"This research is important..."

"Is this Pokemon named Mew really more important than us!?" His dad stopped "don't leave me dad! Please!" His dad looked over with a heartless expression. Nate and I glared. how can this man just do that to Nate!?

"Yes" the research was more important than his son!? "This research will be the best discovery to find Mew! A extinct Pokémon that no one has seen in years where going to see if it's still around"

"That's stupid!" Nate shouted "Mew will never show itself to you! It only shows itself to a pure bright heart! You don't have a bright heart, you're selfish!" His dad left the house... Nate ran after him and saw him climbing up a helicopter "i'm going to find you and I won't stop till I get my revenge on what you have done to my family!" Nate cried very loudly... Nate... "How dare he take my Cleffa away from me..." his.. Cleffa? He looked at his mom and hugged her "I don't understand why he would take Cleffa away from me! Mommy! It hurts! It hurts!" I cupped my mouth. its so bad to look at this.

Abra frowned and teleported out the house, camping out in their ranch until many years later, where she was founded hurt and given to Nate on the day him and I first met...

What ever happened with his dad? The image around me changed into a burning building. some kind of beam escaped from the flames

"He's finally woke up..." I turned around and saw a little boy with black hair and red eyes. his eyes were dull... "He finally escaped..." Who is that..?

I opened my eyes and found Nate sitting in front of me with blue lips... oh Nate... I held his cheek. he looks awful... "Nate..." he went through so much...and he never told me anything... "I'm so sorry..." he hesitated for a moment

"For what?" He held my cheeks. his hands were changing from freezing cold to warm slowly

"You should have told me..." he's been holding his feelings in just like I had in the beginning. he helped me on my feet. some kind of pressure just slammed me into the book shelf

"You won't help me?" Emily stood behind Nate. "In the dark dream... I heard my dads voice... forget about the lunar wing" she cried "please stay with me" Her image compared to what I saw her in the memory was horrifying than when I first saw her... I looked at her image changing from the eyeless little girl to the dream little girl that was still alive, over and over... She was crying in her human like face

'Help me...' she disappeared. I frowned

"What was that??" Nate asked.

"The little girl... her ghost is here..." she died in this house "and there was a shadow her..." the one that looked like a moving corpse "ghost who brought their shadows with them are not safe to be around" it's obvious how her corpse looking ghost just slammed me I got the bookshelf. she's being moved by that shadow... I have to save her

"Come on, let's go" he told me. I shook my head "Rosa..." I looked down

"She's in a internal nightmare..." if Darkrai never put her to sleep, all this wouldn't happen. Giratina told me I can steal shadows... so if I can do that... "I have to take her shadow from her..." I could tell Nate thought that I was crazy

"Take her shadow? You can't do that!" He's probably thinking of the time I asked him what would happen if my shadow was taken from me "you... can take shadows?" Not only take them...

"I...think I can hold them" I heard giggling and sniffles all in the same time... Emily! I quickly grabbed Nate's hand and ran through the hallways of the house

"Rosa, what's going on?!" I stopped running and frowned at him. hearing him yell reminded me of when he yelled at his father...

"I...saw your past Nate..." I looked away from him "your dad..." how can I tell him this? Is it even a good idea..? "He-" something grabbed the back of my neck and threw me on the wall... ouch. Nate rushed over

"we have to get out here!" No! I can't leave Emily! She doesn't deserve this suffering!

"No... she needs me" i could see her on the other side of the house. Emily! She disappeared. I ran after her towards her room that I saw in Abra's memory... I'm not even sure if it was her memory anymore. it wouldn't explain what I saw afterwards

Emily was standing in the middle of the room with her back facing towards me. The room was colder than the others...

"Emily..." I walked towards her. she took a glimpse at me and threw me on the wall without even touching me... "dammit..." what do I do?

'Take her shadow' Meloetta showed up next to me 'you have the ability to touch human spirt and shadow like they have physical forms... you have to touch her in order to take her shadow' my body was pressed onto the wall with great presser. Emily was choking... me... but she remained in the same spot 'Rosa! You must fight her and reach her!' H-How..? I held my neck on the spot where it feels like the air was being taken from me and felt it lift. Emily looked surprised

I sang her a small song that I had memorized while watching her play with Abra. her eyes widened as the pressure on me stopped. I sighed in relief and continued singing while walking up to her carefully. she just stared at me with her tears falling out

I kneeled down to her and held her hands "who..?" I smiled

'You see her shadow?' Meloetta asked. I looked down at a pitch black shadow under Emily's feet 'it's connected to her spirit. let her rest in peace by taking her shadow away... place your hand on her collar bone and peel off her shadow' I obeyed and of my hand on her collar bone

"Don't worry..." I told Emily as I felt something cold as I pulled on what looked like my shadow when I first held it. Emily yelped "I'm going to take away your misery..." I pulled on her shadow more, this was taking the energy out of me for some reason. I was out of breath. I finally took off her shadow and watched it splash on my hands like ink... Emily held her heart, her green eyes sparkled now... "You may rest in peace now Emily" she shook her head "huh? Why not?" Meloetta looked up. I followed and saw a green leather floating down to me, landing in my stained hands

"Oh... the Lunar wing" Emily said "I can't take it now..." she looked up "I died the same time my parents did... when mother prayed for the feather, it came to me just as soon as they died... but it was too late for me to take it" I frowned. she smiled at me "but it'll be ok... Please return the wing to the Pokemon..." she held her heart "I was waiting on the bridge so I could return it myself" she disappeared. I dropped on my knees out of energy. Meloetta patted my back

'You did it Rosa...' I smiled and stared down at the Lunar Wing... it's beautiful.

'Well done...' Giratinas voice said 'I am confident that you will use your power for good... with a great gift like that, comes great responsibility... use it for evil and you'll be punished' I gulped and watched the ink on my hands disappear... that's a relief... I'm finally done with all this

"Rosa!" I looked up and saw Nate and Woobat rushing over to me. Woobat flew to my arms and hugged me. I giggled and hugged her back. Nate squat to my height

"I got it.." I told him with a happy smile "her shadow is no longer hurting her..." I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck. I miss holding him. it's good to have some relief in mind. he hugged me back while helping me up. I wobbled

"Whoa" he carried me bridal style, giving me that charming smirk. I rolled my eyes "I got you" I smiled and placed my head on his shoulder. I'm exhausted... "you alright?"

"Yeah... now that you're here" he started walking me out

"What were you doing here?"

"Giratina brought me here" he looked at me confused "I'll tell you later" he nodded and found the exit, clearing his throat

"Might wanna explain why you're wearing that?" I looked down at the Team Plasma uniform and blushed on how tight it was to my skin...

"I found it in the base... I thought it be good to blend in" he nodded

"What do you say that we go back to Aspertia City and get a good night sleep? And probably take a shower?" I looked down and frowned

"But..."

"But?" I bit my lips and looked away. I have to find Sewaddle... Meloetta flew to my side with my bag I left in the living room

'You can't help Sewaddle in the condition you're in. you pulled your first shadow, that'll take the energy out of you. rest for tonight and we can find Sewaddle tomorrow' I nodded and looked at Nate waiting for an answer

"Yeah" I smiled "that'll be great"

"Can we cuddle together?" He smirked. I sweat dropped

"Shut up"
