Perserved Nightmare P.1

          While Mattias was inside his aquarium, the adults, along with Ash and May, listened to him tell them about the strange beedrill he saw amongst the corrupt swarm. YuuMii also listened, while enjoying a sucker.

            "I didn't see it all that well, but I'm sure it was rather pale and a bit grey," Mattias said, "It's eyes appeared to be completely white."

            "It's usually the unique ones that are the leaders of their groups," YuuMii said, while waving her sucker.

            "Yes...It's likely that the pale one was the leader," Mattias said, thinkingly, "The other beedrill were gathered around it as they escaped, now that I think about it."

            "Oh snap, I just realized something," YuuMii said, sucker in mouth and eyes wide.

            "Uh oh...What is it?" Ash responded.

            "If the leader and the remaining swarm are still alive, chances are they'll come back," Autumn explained.

             "Oh great...," Ash said sarcastically.

             "Well, at least there's a small amount of them...hopefully," Mewtwo said.

             "We're gonna need some big bug zappers," Blaine said.

             "Um...guys," May said slowly.

             "Yes, May?" Autumn replied.

             "I don't think Max should stay with us, with how much danger we've been experiencing lately," May said, "He's little, and doesn't have any pokemon. I was thinking one of the psychic pokemon could teleport him home, where he'll be safe."

              Everyone agreed with her.

             "I can take him," Mattias said, "I have years of experience with teleporting and will know where to go just by looking into his memories."

              "Thanks, Mattias," May said with a bit of a smile, "I'll let him and my parents know."

               "You sure you don't want to go with him?"

               "I'll be fine. I think I can handle what's to come."

             May then went and told Max that Mattias was going to teleport him back home. Max had no qualms with this, he admitted that he was afraid that something bad would happen to him, with the enemy constantly attacking. May then contacted her parents, letting them know that Max would be coming home. Max packed all of his things, and met with everyone in the living room.

               "Hey, Mattias?" Max said.

               "Yes, little one?" Mattias replied.

               "Before you take me home, there's something I want to know...I want to know what you look like."

               "...You sure about that?"

               "Yeah. I know there are things about your body that some people might find scary...But I know you are a good guy, and that you're our friend."

               "I think what my brother is trying to say, is that how you look doesn't matter to us," May said, "Because we like you for what's in your heart."

               Mattias gave a warm look. "Alright...but remember, some of what you see may be a bit unpleasant...But I know you will still see me as a friend."

              Using his psychic powers, he removed the censor pixels from around his body. As it turned out, Mattias didn't look all that bad. He looked like a light brown mantine, with his back, forehead, antennae-ears, and edges of his shoulders being a darker shade. He lacked a visible mouth, and was missing his right eye, only having a flesh covered crater in it's place. He had an almost star shaped pale brown mark on his forehead, pale brown markings on his back that resembled a smiling face, and a surgical scar on his left shoulder. His ears were a bit like a gliscor's, except thinner, and had antennas at the end of them.

              "Wow Mattias, you're not scary at all," Max said smiling, "You're actually pretty cool looking."

              "You think so, huh?" Mattias chuckled.

              "You see, Mattias? None of us are scared," Jake said smiling, "You don't have to put up censor pixels anymore."

               "Biiii~!" BiiMii said smiling.

               "Well, that's a relief," Mattias said, in a humorous tone, "It was a tiny bit draining for me to keep them up."

                "Try keeping up the illusion of you being a human," Mewtwo said smiling.

               Soon everyone gave Max a hug and said their goodbyes. May had a bit of a long hug goodbye with Max, then kissed him on the forehead, and Max went over to Mattias side. Mattias had Max take his hand and the two were teleported from the spot. Once they appeared in Max and May's house, Max was soon greeted with hugs from his parents. Norman and his wife thanked Mattias, and asked that he look out for their daughter for them. Mattias agreed to this and told them that May had others looking out for her as well. With that, Mattias teleported back to where he was previously. May was quite relieved to know that her little brother was safe at home.

                  That night, there were no disturbances, no attacks from the enemy. Everyone was able to have a good night sleep because of this. Even the following day, things were peaceful. Once again, Brock insisted that Autumn didn't do any work, and to leave the cooking to him, since she was (once again) nearly killed yesterday. Jake had to agree with Brock on this one. He didn't want her to worry about any chores, just get as much rest as she needed. She was still feeling a bit fatigue from recent events, so she spent most of the day lounging and keeping herself entertained.

                   Mattias was now building a stronger bond with the others, since they now knew what he looked like. BiiMii, being her usual sweet and friendly self, spent some time with him, even giving him hugs when he was outside the aquarium. Jessie was also building a strong bond with her father. After hearing about what had happened, he felt he should have her come stay with him, for her safety, and even invited James and Meowth. Jessie had to admit, having to constantly deal with enemy attacks was rather scary, but she couldn't help but feel that she should stay with the others, and help out in any way she could.

                   Whenever anyone went outside, they would check for any sign of the enemy, but all that was there was some friendly combee, collecting honey and pollen as usual, as well as a little flabébé that was checking out the area, and the occasional bird pokemon that flew over the area. Still, almost everyone couldn't help but feel a little paranoid. There was no telling when the enemy would try to attack again. Fortunately, Mattias and Mewtwo couldn't sense any evil, even in the nearby forest. With him no longer using his censor pixels, Mattias was able to reach his senses out even farther than Mewtwo's. He may not be able to extend them to the entire island, but he could sense that were was no evil for miles, so everyone was able to relax.

                But that night, Mattias had a bizarre and somewhat unsettling dream. In a grey void, the Guardian of Life, Xerneas, stood with the Guardian of Death, Yveltal, perched on his antlers, while the Guardian of Order, Zygarde, had his long body form a circle around the great stag's feet. The Life and Death Guardians were shedding silent tears, while Zygarde had a expression of being offended on his face.

                   "The body is but a shell for the soul," Xerneas spoke.

                   "Death is when the body can no longer move or be of use," Yveltal spoke.

                   "But the soul lives on, in one of the worlds life stands between," Xerneas continued.

                   "And the body returns to the dust of the earth," Zygarde spoke, ".....But Missingno has disturbed part of that order."

                   "The body that is supposed to be immobile and become a part of the Earth...," Yveltal said.

                   "Now lives again, but without a soul," Xerneas continued.

                   "It is disrespectful to the soul who once owned the body," Yveltal said.

                   "A violation of nature and God's law," Zygarde said.
