When I went in, there was another door. Moving forward, I passed through 18 gates. This seemed to symbolise, a trainer's journey. After that I came across a staircase when I climbed up. Floor bounced me up like a trampoline? I landed on a rocky surface. Then, Heather came on her salamence.
Heather " So, you finally come. I was waiting for you a while. But there is something I want to say."
She took a deep breath.
Heather" Thanks. You helped me without any interest. You even came for me in the orphanage. You fought against Team Meteor for getting back my mother's ring. Not only that you even adopted me."
She scratched her hair.
Heather" I don't know if I deserve a brother like you. But thanks for being there for me, brother."
Dukhan" It's okay."
Heather" Then, get ready for the battle."
She sent out crobat and I sent Pachi.

After that a mega salamence appeared.
Heather" USE RETURN!"

BOOOOMMMM!
Salamence was out but Airia was still awake. But she fainted later.
Heather " SHE SURVIVED THAT! Well, what I can expect from my brother's Pokemons! Well, good luck with your battles!"
A staircase opened and I climbed it.
Heather" Wait! Take this too."
She gave me ruby ring. I moved forward and entered a garden.
Dukhan " Laura?"
I moved forward and came into a grass field. Laura came out from some flowering plants.
Laura " What I should say now? You are benefactor of my family. You saved Charlotte from doctor. Help me and Sapphira in Tanzan mountain. Save me when I was hypothesized. Restore my elite four position.....there are a lot. But that doesn't mean I will hold back."
She sent out cherrim and Venusaur. I sent Gulp and Airia.

Laura " As expected, you win. Here, take this."
She gave me sapphire bracelet and a kiss on my cheek. She turned around.
Laura " Best of luck."
I rubbed my cheek and moved forward. I climbed another staircase and came across a some sort of chess puzzle with moving blocks and crosses. I moved forward and after two more moving blocks, I was standing against Elias.
Elias " The moment, Solaris died. I left Team Meteor. I was due to him. Now, I want to see. Which is superior my faith or your spirit!"
He sent out noivern and I sent out Airia.
Elias " Use boomburst!"
Dukhan " Protect yourself with extrasensory then use moon voice."

When it stopped.
THUD!
Elias" No doubt. Fate has chosen you. Take this."
I got the emerald broch. I moved forward and climbed another staircase. After that I came into a doll factory. Moving forward, I walked a starry pathway? I went ahead and came across Anna.
Anna " I know, you don't like my manipulation. But it was only way to save Reborn. The reason, you and Ame survived the train crash was important or all of us would die. Lin was used to my rival in chess. Once, I used Nostra against her. She got angry. Then, doctor came and she was gone. But looks like, it isn't."
Dukhan" That Jirachi told you that."
Anna" Yes."
Dukhan" I see."

Dukhan " Use crunch again."
CHOMP!
THUD!
She ordered Abra.
Lin" NOW!"
Dukhan " HUH?!"
We vanished and appeared in a cave.
SMACK!
I was sent flying and struck a gate?! The seals flew out and connected with the GATE!!!
Dukhan " DAMN!"
Pachi' This is BAD!'
Lin" Too easy."
The gate opened and sucked us in. I came in a cave.
Lin" Now, I have to find that baby Arceus."
She vanished.
Dukhan/Pachi" BABY ARCEUS!!!"
Dukhan " SHIT!"
I ran after her and came across same ruins. I went in, there were debris around. I went in an emerald door. I solved the puzzle as soon as possible. I went through the halls and entered another chamber and solved the next puzzle. Then, I started running off towards the gate down the stairs. The gate was OPENED!
Dukhan " DAMN! I HAVE NO CHOICE!"
I returned Pachi and jumped in. It was like space with rocks around. I fell on one. I started jumping across them to find Lin. I saw her on a stone.
Dukhan " LINDSEY!"
Lin" It's being a while I am called that. But I am not the one, who you should fight."
Dukhan" HUH?!!"
The Lin before scattered into pieces like Shade's premonitions.
Lin" The one you are looking for is me."
I looked towards left and saw her on meteor with Reborn's seal crystals and a pulse baby Arceus.
Lin" What you have been seeing was a puppet. Which, I was using with this power." She said showing her diabolical power.
Dukhan " Damn!"
Lin" Now that I have this Puppy. I can do anything. Like erasing EVERYONE!"
Arceus shone and a dark energy spread.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The world started to be devoured by darkness, even Reborn.
Everyone " WHAT?!!!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When darkness devoured me, I changed.
Dukhan " Sorry but I AM DARKNESS!"
BOOOOMMMM!
With a blast, everything became normal. I was floating in my dark form before Lin.
Lin" That devil said, you are a problem. I guess, he was right. But you are one Against two."
She transformed into a diabolical form. Curved horns grew out from her head, he teeth sharpened. Wings grew out from her back, black tattoos covered her body.
Dukhan " No. I am not alone."
I sent out Serrr. Let bet on him. He came out and became large. He was black and grey in colour. A dark type.
Lin" Interesting. Let's all BATTLE!"
She flew fastly towards me. I met her same way.
BOOOOMMMM!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In Reborn
After first BOOOM, it was second. First one, dispersed the darkness. This one cause lightning in the cloudless sky.
Victoria " .... what's going on...?"
I was standing near Grand Hall.
Mrs Bethany" You have a call."
I went in and received it.
Victoria" Hello! "
Anna " Listen! What happened earlier, might be Lin's doing."
Victoria" Lin?! But how?!"
Anna" She might have found the baby Arceus in the ruins. But looks like Dukhan was able to counter IT."
Victoria" WAIT?!! THERE'S A BABY ARCEUS?!! AND YOU SAID EARLIER PHENOMENON WAS DUE TO LIN CONTROLLING IT!!! AND DUKHAN HAD STOPPED HER WITH HIS DARK MODE!!!"
Anna" ...yes..."
Victoria" SINCE WHEN YOU KNEW ABOUT IT!!! DID DUKHAN KNEW ABOUT IT!!!"
Anna" NO! ONLY I KNEW!!! NOSTRA! MY JIRACHI TOLD ME!!!"
Victoria" DAMN!!!"
BANG!
I disconnected the call. Looked like Dukhan was our last hope again.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Our clashes were echohing around.
BOOOOMMMM!
After drifting away.
Lin" HAHAHAHA! THIS IS FUN!!! TAKE THESE!!!"
She summoned meteor shower towards me. I destroyed them with rapid consecutive shockwaves.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On other side, Serrr was clashing with baby Arceus.
B.A.' dARk PuLsE!"
Serrr' Mine as well!'
SHING! SHING!
BOOOOMMMM!
Serrr' DAMN! AS EXPECTED FROM AN ARCEUS!!! THEY ARE MONSTERS EVEN AS BABIES!!!'
Then, I looked at that meteor. It was shining with each our clashes.
Serrr ' THAT'S IT!!!'
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lin was gathering destruction power in a sphere.
Lin" NOW!!! STOP THIS!!!"
ZSZZSSSSS!
In response, I created a colossal shockwave.
BOOOOMMMM!
Both clashed.
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
We were barely holding our position when I saw Serrr using Baby Arceus judgement to destroy the meteor.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
Lin looked towards IT. This was my chance!
Lin" HUH?! WHAT?!!! NOOO!!!!"
PUCHI!!!
I stabbed my hand like a dagger in her torso.
Lin" BLUEGH!!!"
Blood came out from her mouth.
Lin" ....DO YOU THINK IT COULD KILL ME..."
Dukhan " But this WILL!!!"
In a matter of second, she frozen up to the core.
SHATTERED!
ALMOST ZERO!!!
My biggest power!
I went to baby Arceus, who was normal now. Serrr was floating close to him. I patted his head.
Dukhan " You did a great job!"
Serrr ' Thanks! I am happy that it's work, master."
We looked at him.
Baby Arceus" As a token of gratitude for saving me, I will send you home."
Suddenly, we were sucked again into something. Serrr and I became normal. He returned to his Pokeball and I became unconscious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Victoria P.O.V.
Boooming noises had been stopped, I was anxious. When phone rang. I picked it up.
Anna " Congratulations! Nostra said baby Arceus is free now and Lin is gone for good! Dukhan won!"
Victoria" BUT WHERE IS HE?!!"
Anna" According to Nostra, baby Arceus sent him where he first arrived here."
Victoria" ...where he first arrived.... GRAND STATION!!!"
I disconnected the call and ran to the station. There near it's gate. I saw him, laying on the pavement.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dukhan " So, it's over?"
C.F." Not completely. Now, you can have some peace time and spend time with your future wives 🙂."
???" Hey..."
I heard a voice.
???" Hey, wake up."
I opened my eyes and saw Victoria with teary eyes.
Dukhan " Hey. Good to see you."
Victoria " Same ❤️."
She helped me stand up.
GROOOWWWLLLL!
Dukhan" Ahhh! I am starving."
Victoria " Hehehehe! Let's go to Grand Hall. You can have your dinner there."
So, at 10 pm. We walked towards the Grand Hall.
