In the endless darkness, not a single glimmer of light could be seen.
......
Through the darkness, under a black-and-white worldview, Fang Yuan got up early in the morning, June 9, 2016, summer. As agreed, he was going to cheer on his senior club member who was taking the college entrance exam.
Although the world was dim, it was a sunny day with no clouds in sight.
"What's going on today?..."
After leaving the house, Fang Yuan's thoughts were scattered, he always felt like something was missing in his heart.
However, Fang Yuan didn't pay much attention to it. He neatly left home to fulfill the agreement and then returned home to review: mathematics, Chinese, English, physics, chemistry, biology... As a prospective senior high school student, he couldn't afford to waste any time for the upcoming college entrance exam.
Feeling the atmosphere of the college entrance exam once again, in order to get into a good university and not let his parents down, Fang Yuan packed away all his entertainment products.
But while organizing, his gaze inadvertently swept over a cover, and Fang Yuan's mood slightly sank.
Pokémon Let's Go! Eevee! He had already played this game in the Pokémon series, so why today again... Fang Yuan's gaze shifted to the companion Eevee on the cover, always with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Eevee?"
"Right, where's Eevee?"
After not hearing the "Bwoo Bwoo" sound, Fang Yuan suddenly realized that something was wrong around him; why was he here?
June 9, 2016, seemed like the time he had just traveled through, and now... he should be on Nightmare Island!!
Fang Yuan quickly turned on his phone and began searching for any related information... In this world, the Pokémon series was just a game, an anime; there had never been an event of Secret Locations descending, nor Pokémon, nor Trainers.
Having confirmed all this, Fang Yuan's heart clenched, then he calmed his breathing. Was the travel just a dream?... It couldn't be just a dream, nor could there be a dream this real.
Extreme unease led Fang Yuan to slowly close his eyes. As he entered a meditative state, Fang Yuan let out a breath of relief.
He could still meditate, meaning he was in an illusion or a dream right now!
"What's happened." The huge anomaly forced Fang Yuan to calm down and attempt to use the superpower "Mind Induction" to communicate with Eevee and the others.
However, his immature Mind Induction only allowed Fang Yuan to see a few specks of light and was unable to communicate.
In the icy dark Dream World, Fang Yuan was utterly bewildered. After the bewilderment, came the determination in his heart. He began to reinforce his impression of several Pokémon through memories, to prevent himself from forgetting them like he initially had, forgetting the Meditation Method and losing his last hope.
.........
Meanwhile.
In other Dream Worlds, each Pokémon was experiencing their own nightmares.
Wrapped by a giant Twister, isolated from the world on Dragon Island, the Dragonite Envoy took the token from the Quick Dragon Elder and flew day in and day out within the confines of Dragon Island, fulfilling its duties, delivering mail everywhere.
Each time sleepwalking disorder struck, the Dragonite, after being awakened by the Elder, would dwell in fear, not daring to fall asleep again easily.
During this time, the Dragonite Envoy never left Dragon Island, and no Trainer named Fang Yuan ever entered Dragon Island. The Dragonite Envoy's life was monotonous, staying by the Elder's side, being cared for as a problem child, and occasionally delivering mail for the Elder.
In such a state, time seemed to flow much faster. After a long time, the Quick Dragon Elder passed away, and the Dragonite Envoy, due to the aggravation of the illness and not wanting to bother the tribe anymore, started moving away from Dragon Island. Then, it rested on a solitary island in the sea, living there in solitude...
......
The proud Ugly Fish in the murky pond dreamed every day of transformation, competing with other Water-type Spirits for the limited natural resources outside Nanwu Town, and avoiding predation by some birds with unique tastes. During this period, no Trainer named Fang Yuan appeared, nor did anyone throw a light blue energy block that could change fate.
In the night, Ugly Fish gazed up at the sky, slowly having its pride worn down by the harsh living environment. As injuries accumulated on its body, just like other Ugly Fish, it burrowed into even dirtier, smellier sewage to survive.
.........
In the Sun and Moon Forest, after the Thousand-year Gengar established a bet, countless Trainers came to take the test, hoping to conquer the Glutton. Fang Yuan never appeared, and in the end, it was a young Trainer with Spirit Realm Inheritance who took the Glutton away.
After comparisons among many Trainers, the one from the Spirit Realm Inheritance was already the best choice, for they possessed precious experience left by predecessors, including a type of Special Pokémon food. However, for the picky Glutton, although the Ghost-type Special food provided was delicious, the Trainer no longer had the capacity for innovation, unable to offer better food, which inevitably led to weariness over time.
As the Trainer's Pokémon, not allowed to consume Life Energy or Soul Power, the Glutton gradually grew tired of the same flavor it had been eating for so long. The Trainer, helpless over the Glutton's appetite and personality, prepared to release it back to the Sun and Moon Forest, as if no Trainer could ever win this Special Glutton's approval.
......
In the Magic Big Breeding House, Chimchar was chosen by a civilian genius and completely missed meeting Fang Yuan. Chimchar's excellent talents immediately made it the Trump Card Elf of this Trainer.
