Pink smoke, a dreamy haze which envelopes all. Across this wide, pokemon filled world trainers of all ages, genders, sizes, and personalities find their limbs feeling heavy, their eyes starting to fall beneath a substantial yet ethereal weight. One by one they fall to an unnatural slumber, their bodies collapsing as their minds begin to drift. This is not a relaxing, dreamless slumber, but one filled with nightmares, trials, and adventure they will never recall....but it all begins with visions of a single isle floating high in the sky, and a rainbow bridge...
~~~
"Oh me! Oh my! Are they not too late? Are these the heroes to alter fate?" A high pitched, yet pleasant voice reminiscent of a small bell calls out "Oh my! Oh me! Can you open your eyes!? Can you see!?" The little voice chimes, drawing closer.
Your eyes begin to flicker as your consciousness begins it slow return, the mist clearing from your eyes; yet it is not the lands nor battles you came from, but instead a small pink face, and shimmering pink eyes. "Oh me! Oh my! To the dream you do wake! But please hurry, not much time may we take!" The pink face says, and as the figure floats away you realize it is not a girl, but a Pokemon. Pink with purple flowers, with eyes like amethyst, her head adorned with a tiny silver tiara, she appears to be a Munna of below average size.
"Oh me! Oh my! The nightmare draws near! Please act fast, else we're doomed I fear!" The Munna chimes with worry, floating about you and others laying upon the dewy grass. "Oh my! Oh me! Only this one island remains! All the rest the darkness stains!" She pipes, waving her short limbs "Princess Munna am I, for that is me! This is the land of dreams, as you can see!" She announces, waving her limbs at your surroundings. Indeed you find yourself in a most strange location, though grass lays beneath you, the sky above, simply peering over the nearby edge proves this to be nothing but a chunk of earth floating in an endless see of clouds and light blue. On the far side of the tiny plot of land you see a small house, and beside it an unused berry garden. A little further off is a shelf with a small sign reading 'The Share Shelf''. Most prominent of all however is a massive rainbow bridge stretching from the side of the island into the vast sea of clouds, and beyond it what can only be described as a shifting, writhing blackness.
"Oh me! Oh my! The dream world is in peril! Over run by Pokemon most feral! I ask you heroes one and all, save these lands, my sister, before the fall!" The little Munna pleads, pearl shaped tears beginning to dot the corners of her eyes.
Dream House
Though giving the appearance of a simple white stone building with a thatched on the outside, the Dream House is many times larger within. Filled mostly with beds, it is a place to rest and recuperate, to dream within the dream. Simply lay down and rest your head, and all injuries, both yours and those of your Pokemon will recover as if by magic.
Berry Garden
Fresh luminous soil, recently tilled into perfect little rows by Diglett, this is a place where the dreamers may plant berries of any sort; but be warned, even in a dream, without water they shall whither and faint. Yet this place presents a unique opportunity, for kind souls to lend their water to your plant and aid it's growth. Remember, no good deed should go unrewarded.
Share Shelf
An odd piece of furniture, a dreamer may leave behind a single item and have it exchanged for any other. To clarify one student leaves an item, and another student swaps it for a different item. A gamble to be certain, but a good way to get rid of items you no longer need. Note that you may leave behind as many items as you like, but you may only trade for one item at a time.
Shelf Contents -
- Water Gem [Jasmine] - Red Card [Raven]
Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge
The multicoloured bridge which connects the Dream Garden to the rest of of the dream world. Step foot here and choose your path to fight the nightmare; but remember that once you depart, their is no turning back!

Jasmine would rouse slowly, very slowly indeed as a single eye fluttered, her tired and aching body cradled by the clouds ANSI the weight taken away from her limbs. It was hard to awaken fully in such a place, especially when it felt so soothing, so peaceful...
And then the voice came. Jasmine grimaced at first, so sweet, so piercingk she grit teeth as it felt as if she were developing cavities just by listening. As she would turn and stir, she'd have wished she had even more bandages to wrap her head it's and get rid of the noise!
But finally, as an eye opened with a sudden snap, she sat up, a sleeping Chansey aside her in Nightingale, as well as her trusty crutch and bag.
"...Dream? Nightmare?"
She looked to the source of the voice, the Munna... Any less time ago she would have questioned it, yet, time and events made her think of all the oddities in her life so far...
Everything was black,pitch black. His consciousness hazy and drifting. Why was he?an incomprehensible thought formed and he realized that he was dreaming. Very slowly Theo opened his eyes and into huge pink ball that was whining with annoying noise. The tone of her voice grated his nerve. "What do you want?" Theo asked,clearly annoyed,as the pink thing floated away, it turned out to be a munna with tiara. The munna spoke further, explaining her situation. His eyes followed as the munna waved her limb to the surrounding. The strangeness around him showed that he wasn't anywhere in a place he knew, but it it was a dream,then it all made sense. He was dreaming and a strange one at that.
If he had remembered correctly, he was in the middle of battling. His pokemon in dire health and Midnight had already fainted. Now, he found himself in a most absurd dream. A Princess Munna pleading for his help saving the dream world, calling him hero even! Looked like it would be better to follow where this dream led and he would wake up eventually.
"How do you propose to do that?"Theo asked after the munna finished her talking. "plus my pokemon isn't in their best health."
"What is it with this Academy and being absconded to strange places? I don't remember reading a thing about this in the brochure." Vanni's voice, while still quiet, was a bit more snarky than usual. Then again, this was the second time her mission had been interrupted by surprise teleportation. The petite girl had been laying on her back, green eyes slowly fluttering open as the pink Pokemon spoke. Slowly, she began to gather her bearings. Culann lay curled at her side, looking much more peaceful for the rest. The girl grinned, and reached out to scratch the firedog behind his ears. Still sleeping, the Growlithe kicked out lazily and gave a whine.
"Really, you'd think this sort of thing would be a public relations hazard," she remarked softly as she sat up, shaking out her hair. The surroundings and the sudden realization of a Princess Munna was almost more than she could take, and it took all her natural self-restraint to keep from squeaking with joy. Her green eyes lit up sparkling, and her ahoge formed an odd little heart. (Having fragmented psychic shards in your brain gives you mood hair, roll with it.) Eventually, however, she did snap out of her cuteness-induced trance to realize that perhaps she wasn't here to frolic. Vanni focused forward, but seeing as the other two students (one she mildly recognized as Momo's impromptu caretaker from before, the other she didn't) had already started bombarding the creature with questions, she could afford to wait. Instead, she sat patiently, hand placed on Culann's ruff.
Jasmine looked over at Vanni, it seemed all the good questions must have been taken now to give the other girl the time to complain about it.
It really seemed almost protocol now that students were going to be called above and beyond the call of duty...
She tried to place the girl herself, she certainly knew they'd have met previously during the Hunter's tournament, but then again, maybe she should have considered it a good thing she was a forgettable face, considering most of her face was gauze.
She just sighed and looked at Nightingale... still asleep? Hadn't they been in the middle of a battle when they'd... well... when they'd 'whatever-happened-that-made-them-wind-up-here'...
At least Nightingale was alright after that fight she surmised... but then she stopped and thought.
Most of her pokémon were gone. Back at the grounds! She only had a handful of her team... and she cursed herself for it all... well... that was probably going to bite her in the backside...
Over she reached and tried to rouse the Chansey, eyes to the Munna, waiitng for those answers.

The group was deep in battle when a pink haze seemed to sweep over the Spinda girl, her Sneasel and the Emolga sitting on her shoulder. The group could feel the inevitable slumber suddenly taking control of their bodies. Momo was happy about the fact, a lot of things could be done in dreams. As she awoke, the girl glanced down at herself. It was here that she saw her true self. Her hair was pink, along with her eyes. The oddest of all was that she was dressed in a Spinda suit. Letting her gaze flicker over the area, the Spinda felt like this was all a dream come true. What had happened to reality? This was a nice break from pokemon battles and endless wandering. The rainbow and obviously cheerful aura made the girl's face practically glow with happiness."Yay!~ This is truly a wonderful place! Spin, spin~ she exclaimed happily, oblivious to those around her. Because of this, she tripped over a certain girl petting a Growlithe.
Despite earlier sarcastic comments, Vanni was perfectly fine with waiting calmly for things to occur. There wasn't really any sort of precedent for "be summoned to a dream world because a nightmare has captured a royal Munna's sister", so she simply allowed herself to look at her surroundings. The place was lovely and peaceful-- hard to imagine some kind of danger going on her. But then, this world wasn't exactly safe now, was it? Serenity was a commodity all around.
And even this serenity would be broken rather quickly. A sweet trilling voice of a Spinda rang out, and Vanni glanced to the side. Momo! It was good to see the spacey pinkette-- even if they'd only met once, she felt a certain kinship for the madgirl. She was about to open her mouth to greet the other, when...
THWUMP! Vanni reacted as best she could, sticking out her arms to cushion Momo's fall. It half-worked; neither girl was particularly heavy, but Vanni wasn't exactly a lifter. In the end, it was an awkward, tangled embrace with Momo lying across the green-clad girl's lap, her head landing on the squishy fluff of Culann, who awoke with a grumpy yelp. Vanni gave a slight sigh-- why did some many of her acquaintances end up falling for her? Literally? "Greetings, Momo." Mildly frustrated amusement aside, she was happy to see a friendly face. "Lovely to see you again, darling. How are you?"

Of course, nothing really went as planned. The Spinda wasn't paying enough attention and just fell directly on top of the girl petting the Growlithe. Head cushioned against the Growlithe, she quickly leapt up and away from Vanni. The other girl was fairly nice about the fall and even chose to speak to her. That was good! "Ah, sorry, sorry! ~ she said pink eyes wide and apologetic. "It is good to see you again, Vanni. I've been adventuring, exploring the world one endless spin at a time! How about you?!~ While the pair were talking, there was a flash of red light as a certain Emolga recalled the Sneasel that had landed on the ground in a heap. Once that was over with, he soared over to land on Momo's shoulder, staring at the girl and her Growlithe. He couldn't turn his attention away for even a second without Momo getting into some kind of situation... But that was why he was there! She was his love and he would never leave her!
Pink haze, extra weight to his limbs, a single blink and the world went black. Raven was accustomed to at least the second and third sensation, it usually happened right before he...
Crimson eyes shot open, the boy leaping to his feet! Dammit he'd gone and passed out again! Wait...but this wasn't the training room. Mind muddled by the fog of slumber, the boy's wits took a moment to catch up with him. Hadn't he...stadium...crowd....bird....battle! He'd been fighting in a tournament, testing his mettle against other trainers; but where was he...
...the ground suddenly shifted, Raven's boosts sliding beneath him, clanking once as if against metal when he adjusted his stance. Only when the sky suddenly drew a great deal closer would the red clad youth put two and two together. He wasn't standing on the ground. He was standing on...
The floor shifted abruptly, the boy toppling over and plummeting towards the ground. A vague, tall shape glinting like steel would confirm his suspicions. Somehow he had ended up on Genn's head; and now he was about to land on his own. With no cliff nearby to make use of his sword, Raven would opt for a somewhat less logical, and certainly more childish solution. Grabbing the ends of his cloak and spreading his arms the young trainer attempted to use the garment as a makeshift parachute. When this ultimately failed he merely winced, then braced for impact!
...
Pain failed to describe what Raven was feeling in that particular moment. Pressed into the ground to the point of leaving an indent, his cloak fluttering down to conceal the majority of his form. A single arm stood out from the others, jutting into the air at an odd angle as the fingers curled and went ridged like someone suffering from arthritis. Two inches to the boy's left, missed by some miracle would be the figures of Vanni and Momo...dreams were odd things.

"Oh, nothing nearly so exciting. There's not a lot to do in sewers really, except this battle, and--" A strange whistling noise would be the only warning Vanni would have-- she was turned in the wrong direction to see a Steelix and his trainer. Instead, Vanni would start in surprise as a youth crashed down from the sky to the ground right next to her. Culann, meanwhile, would simply shove his head under Vanni's knee, too tired for all this gravitationally challenged nonsense.
A glance to the sky assuring her no more human rain would come down, Vanni leaning over Momo to get a good look at the debris. On one hand, she was glad to not have yet another colleague fall on top of her. If this was any kind of proper story, this would mean Vanni was actually the protagonist of a romantic shoujo anime, and that she was to be the leader of a harem. Not that Vanni was against a harem... but that was besides the point. On the other hand, that had be some kind of fall, and the poor thing looked a bit... squashed. Like all his hopes had taken a very long fall. "Dear, can you move? Cringe once for yes, sob twice for no." Despite her odd comments, it seemed she was perfectly serious.
Momo listened as Vanni spoke, spinning once. Smiling happily, she didn't even notice what was happening until she heard the ground shake slightly. Vanni had turned to glance and the Growlithe had moved pretty quickly as well. Meanwhile Momo stood there unfazed, Loki on her shoulder, arms spread, ready to protect her. The Emolga's cheeks radiated sparks as he glared at the Steelix and the figure on the ground. The Spinda girl watched as Vanni went to talk to the figure on the ground lying in an awkward position. Strange... That had been quite a fall! Did this boy think he could fly? It didn't look like he had any wings...The Spinda spun her way over to his side and then glanced from different angles. Nope...no wings. She could of swore he was still alive. The girl swayed forward, gently poking from first the left and then moving to the right to do likewise."You don't look dead to me.. Helloooooooooo~"
Sora, not know what was about to happen next, would slowly become swallowed up in a pink mist. Thinking that it was some attack from a wild pokemon, he returned his own, if any, to protect them. Eventualy, the mist would thicken and surround Sora solely. Drowsiness would oversome Sora causing his eyelids to become heavy.
"Wha- What's going on?!"
He covered his mouth to prevent any further inhalation, but it would be too late. His vision would turn blurry and would start to lose balance. Within seconds, his body would fall straight down to the floor. His eyes closed, blacking out any scenery and color that once stood before his eyes. He was falling asleep, but not the type of sleep Sora would have any other time he would normally experience.
..............................
Slowly, Sora would start to regain his consciousness. First his sense of hearing would come. A small small, high pitched voice would call out asking if Sora was able to open his eyes. With drowsiness, Sora forced himself to to open his eyes. It started with fluttering, followed by the blurry vision. The pink mist started to disappear allowing to clear up his vision.
Next, his sense of sight would be restored. He noticed he wasn't on the dirt path that he once was on. In fact, he wasn't at Beginners' Island. The small, high pitched voice turned out to be a Munna whom happened to be wearing a tiara.
"Where am I?" he asked absentmindedly.
The Munna would happily answer the question with a quick tour of the floating island Sora noticed they appeared to be on. Ending the very short orientation was a rainbow bridge that lead to another realm that was covered in nothing but darkness, worrying the Psychic-type.
Looking around, he noticed several other students of the Academy that he had seen before in the cyber adventure mishap. Nice to see familiar faces, but he wasn't really friends with any of them. A bright flash would shine from the side of his hip, revealing his Poochyena several meters away from Sora.
"Hey, what are you doing coming out of your pokeball?"
Then a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The egg..Where's my egg?!
Sora looked around in front of him for the egg that he had obtained from his cyber adventure. Standing up, he turned around and found the egg several meters behind him. Sora walked over to it, picked it up and brushed off any dirt it had come across. After cleaning the egg, he placed it securely in his bag.
"So what has this Academy thrown us into this time?"
Crocus nudged Theo for attention. The pokemon was very weak and that action took a lot of strenght. The nidoran looked relieved to find himself out of the dire battle and into a seemingly peaceful place, for now. "Ni Nidoran" Crocus gestured to girl near them and the group not far from them.
Theo hadn't notice that Crocus was with him too, he had thought they all went back into their pokeball. His thought was clearer now and as Crocus gestured around, he saw there was other around him. A group of people that was so loud as if they were picnicking. It made them appeared that they knew what's going on. He didn't recognize any of them. Then a new person appeared in a swirling pink mist. What the guy said about academy caught his attention.
Theo lifted the nidoran into his arm and approached the guy."Excuse me, Do you know What's going on?" Theo greeted the guy politely. "I have just recently enroll, so I don't know anything about why this has anything to do with the academy"Theo continued as he explain himself. He had no idea what's going on anymore, this place was a dream, but his senses told him this place was also real.
Observing the group of students that he had seen before, Sora noticed that they had almost immediately gotten acquainted with each other. It was clear that they had been on adventures many times, this clearly wasn't the first.
"Ruff ruff!" Poochyena barked.
Sora looked down at the ground and at his feet he saw Poochyena rolling around in the grass. This did seem like a peaceful place. At least for the time being, he might as well enjoy it while he was here. Then from behind he heard a voice asking if Sora knew what was going on. Turning around he saw a young man that looked like he was about Sora's age.
"I'm not entirely sure, but by the looks of it we might embark on an adventure. Although the Munna over there seems to be panicking about that shroud of darkness that's covering the island on the other side of that multi-colored bridge." he pointed to the island across from the one they were all currently on.
Vanni would receive her answer in an odd sort of way. Fingers twitching slightly, Raven would cringe once, then moving his arm briefly to the side would cringe again. For an instant it would appear as if the ex-noble were bating at the Spinda brained pest; but as his arm swung back a bit further and reached the hilt of his sword a very different scenario would unfold. Fable's ball already stored within the pommel, he had but to draw the blade a fraction before twilight hue'd flames consumed both fabric and flesh. Gritting his teeth as strength filled his body, Raven pushed against the ground giving a shout mixed both with vigour and irritation. When the bottom of his boots once more touched the ground, flames danced across his hair, burning away the grass which had gotten caught in his ebony locks; more interesting however was the wisps of flame which danced across his cheek and chin, removing two small scratches he'd obtained from the fall. If one had to question why he didn't look more like Jasmine without the plaster after such a collision, one simply need recall this was all technically a dream.
Sheathing his sword, and thus halting the flow of it's power, Raven's appearance would return to the norm in an instant, the boy using his right hand to lightly brush some dirt from the shoulder of his cloak "I can assure you I am very much alive" He stated curtly, looking toward neither of the girls, but instead his own Steelix. Briefly the lids of the crimson orbs lowered, delivering a surprisingly cold glare from such a heated youth. A moment later the steely behemoth would disappear, returned to the confines of his Pokeball to be replaced by the presence of Fable, the heavily scarred Charmander opting to remain silently at Raven's side.
