Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece; that belongs to Eiichiro Oda.

A/N: It's official. I strongly dislike fight scenes. I don't know how to insert myself/Pokémon into the fight yet. It scared me away for close to a year. I'm gonna knuckle down and make a fight rule book or something for this story. Also, the ending may be rushed. I just wanted this chapter GONE. I also realised I have Anxiety in between Chapter postings. It's sucking.

Also: A bit of Artwork used in new INADF! Cover by Xous/Xous54 DeviantART. It's been so long I can't remember which part. I'm sorry.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed, favourited, and/or followed.

WARNING: Manipulation, Horrid Fight Scenes. Really, do not expect much from Aliahra

Sorry for the wait. I can't promise it won't happen again. Also, this chapter is less than my usual 5,000. I really needed it gone.


Chapter 11: Pillars of Strength

I straighten up as a human. The ammonites lay unconscious as Terra gains an extra level, bringing him up to 20. Who knew there were so many different types of dinosaurs? Honestly, how many have we encountered?

The list so far includes Trilobite, Ammonite, Pterodactyls, Dimorphodon, Anomalocaris, Crinoid, Coelocanth, Pachycephalosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Triceratops, Prototurtle, Archaeopteryx, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Amargasaurus.

We seem to attract creatures that resemble Pokémon. There are dozens of more species of dinosaurs that mostly ignore us. Although looking at history, some of these dinosaurs should not be existing at the same time. The Grand Line does not care for what should be. Lectures Giratina.

I nod as I clap a mosquito. No blood, just bug remains. Still icky.

Bugs do not seem to be much of a threat. Or at least, most of them aren't. Says Nico as I warily eye a hand-sized spider that was feasting on a couple of mosquitoes herself.

I don't have arachnophobia; I just don't like spiders I don't know. There exist species that can kill a human in a few minutes, not gonna try it without a couple of antidotes.

Ah think it's time ta get back ta da Merry. We don't 'ave dat much Power Points left, Aliahra. Says Darcy who is at lv 16.

"Just one more encounter Darcy, then you'll level up!" I say, trudging through the humid jungle. The only reason Niran's not the one trudging about is that I didn't want anything to catch fire. That was a surprise when ember almost started a forest fire, at least Water Pulse and Surf are good at stopping it in its tracks. "Stop pouting Niran, it's not gonna happen."

Then a loud sound echoes throughout the jungle. It sounded similar to an explosion.

"… On second thought, go ahead."

Unfortunately, I had no warning about the fact that I should be worried about a Ponyta's curiosity. The first thing he did was head in the same direction of the sound. I groan internally - survival instincts, we have none. We gallop towards the sound until we see a clearing.

We didn't enter it. Interfering with a battle like this is poor form in any culture. I was switched back and could just feel the… the…

Darcy, what is this?

Ah 'onestly can't say what it is myself. Ah can tell it's old and dat dere is honour, respect and friendship in there. It's awe-inspiring…

The fact that it was the emotions that rendered me speechless and not the size of the combatants should hopefully speak volumes. Not that there is nothing speechless inducing about the sizes, this Island is obviously called Little Garden because of them. They tower over the tree line, larger than Giratina when we faced him back in the Distortion World by truck loads.

Except… the emotions that went into this battle were strong, tempered by time and repetition. This is a fight that has been going on for a long time. Unfortunately, even with all the valour and effort the leaner giant was putting in, he was failing. It wasn't obvious, but it was clearer that he was the more injured party.

And he knew that he would lose… he tried to hide it, sure. But there was a niggling voice in the back of his head that kept reminding him that he would lose. It thrummed with its own unique heartbeat. Dark amidst the bright determination.

He knew he'd lose, but he was not going to let that stop him. He made a promise, an oath, with his friend. The mess of emotions between the giants, conveyed through their fight, was beautiful and strange.

I want to see more fights like this. I want to see this determination again.

Hazel eyes and dark hair flashed in my mind. A Froslass using Destiny bond to take down her 'sister'. A Weavile swiping an entire party and Mamoswine decimating their opponents. An Avalugg with the best defence to ever exist.

Whenever I fight my brother, I always knew I'd lose. He's frankly a much better trainer than me. I'm still learning. Heck, I just fully realised the differences between Physical and Special attacks. Not to mention I only recently memorise the Super-Effective type chart for single types. I'm just unused to most items, breeding, and status moves. Not to mention I still have yet to memorise the resistance type chart and the dual-type charts.

That never stopped me from looking forward to the next fight though. Undefeated is a boring title. What's life without a few losses? It makes finally beating them so much more satisfying. And I do! It's very few but occasionally I do beat my brother. It's mostly luck or him feeling mercy but I do!

Pay attention Aliahra, this is a fight between people who don't need a G.I. to focus them. Gira nudges me.

The battle continues uninterrupted for a few minutes. Each blow reverberates around the clearing and every footfall makes the ground vibrate. But then the arena changed. Something thick, white and with a distinct waxy scent floods out of the opposite tree line and slides under the leaner giant.

It causes him to slip, messing up his defence and letting the other giant slide a slash onto him. Darcy perks up, anger filling him as he mentions there are four people where the waxy stuff came from.

"Oh, that is not on. If he was going to lose, let him lose on his own right, don't just sneak behind him to make it certain." I whisper to my Pokémon. "Especially in another's fight."

Ya don't need ta tell me dat Aliahra. Darcy grinds.

Hey, do you think it's the Straw Hats? I mean, they were scared at that large dolphin and they attacked Laboon, ineffectively, at first. They were all big. Maybe… Niran worries.

That makes me stop everything. Moving, thinking, breathing, everything.

I doubt it Niran. Don't you remember when Luffy and Zoro were fighting? They hated it when they were interrupted, not to mention Zoro has honour, he wouldn't interrupt it. Zhaleh dismisses.

But Zoro stayed on the ship- oh wait, Luffy, Vivi and Karoo were the only ones that left the ship, so if there's four it can't be them! Terra exclaims.

No one is on the ship presently. However, it is not the Straw Hats that unleashed that Wax attack. Gira states.

Indeed, none of them are capable of using such a move. There is no need to ponder this anymore, so go fight already! Says Nico.

I was about to, righteous fury filling my veins when I hear the stouter (if you could call him that) giant remiss about it being a hundred years since they started fighting.

Righteous fury? Make way for hate-filled vengeance.

Was that Luffy? Terra asked. I ignore the strange question.

I let Darcy come out and lead us to the instigators. We circle around the clearing, respectful of the tampered battleground and see him. I'm going to take a gander that this is probably Mr. 3 from Baroque Works. Cancel all irritation with Vivi, if she put up with jack asses like this guy for two years for her country, she can have a break from me.

Before we could intervene, however, Mr. 3 unleashed another wave of wax to trip up the other giant. Definitive proof? Acquired, this man's going down.

A child walked out with him into the clearing, a stoic face that could make Red proud.

Mr 3 Lv 24

Miss Golden Week Lv 22

Okay, the kid has power. Likely a devil fruit seeing as that's the source of unusual powers here.

Aliahra, stay out of this. They are in perfect condition and stronger than everyone, you cannot win in this scenario.

I look up at him and freeze. He was worried, but he should know I couldn't just run from a fight, especially one like this.

Okay, I know we technically met afta da fiasco with Galactic but seriously? Gira ya know we've got a bit of a Hero complex. These situations find us and we're supposed ta ignore it? Dat ain't us mate.

I nod at Darcy's statement. I look at the outside. "We need to figure out what that wax scented stuff is. If it's wax? Likely to be either weak to or resistant to fire, depends on their logic. Unfortunately, we can't hax it out with Zhaleh." I glance at him as he curses to himself but the low health was evident. "I'm going to have to keep you in reserve Darcy, Niran's most likely to do the most damage."

Darcy accepts easily, Niran switching out just as Mr 5 and Miss Valentine appear in the clearing. A captured Vivi shouting that they had harmed the leaner giant with an explosion in his drink.

Well, flip they're dead too. "Niran, we're destroying them." I could almost feel the grin spread across my Ponyta's face.

"Trust me Aliahra, it'll be my pleasure."

Gira stomps on the ground. "At least wait! The other Straw Hats are coming this way, they can handle this."

I smile at him. "They probably could, but I'm not letting someone get hurt while I just stand by. Besides, I just decided to cut her some slack!"

And I finally was going to send Niran off when Mr 3 created a giant pumpkin topped candle. Which why? Oh, there's Nami, Zoro and Vivi getting trapped in the lowest layer. Seriously, how long was I distracted by one statement? How did I miss the arrival of those two?

"No more about this Giratina, we're not sitting back on this. You can't stop us." I announced.

His eyes narrowed and suddenly I was in the forest instead of Niran. "Giratina!" I hissed.

"I am not letting you run off to get killed!" He growls from within my mind.

"Do you expect the ones who hurt Nico to take us peacefully?" I jab at him. "Right now, they have our only ticket off this island. This is a dangerous route we cannot stay on for an entire year, Gira."

I shove myself back into the mindscape, Niran eagerly replacing me. I glare up at Gira. "Living in regret can be worse than dying. So please, stop preventing us from saving people. You don't have to like it, but trying to hinder us is just making it more dangerous for us." I soften my eyes. "Please Gira, let us do this."

Giratina glances over to his back to where Nico sat. She chirps up at him. "Aliahra cares for us more than a couple of strangers Giratina, she'll pull back if it gets too dangerous."

He closes his eyes and nods. I grin and hug his leg. "Thank you."

I turn to the front. They're being turned into wax sculptures.

I grimace, we definitely gotta stop that. There was shouting going on but I was busy pondering on how wax fits into the typing system.

I'm going in.

Wait, what? "Niran!"

Niran raced out of the brush and into an explosion heading for the giant. Huh, they're pretty big up close. But this was no time to ponder, this was four against one and, while it looked like the waxy shackles were breaking off the giant, he still had a ways to go.

First, reduce the numbers. Miss Valentine was part Steel, fire attacks are currently up. The Ember! (24/25) was quickly followed by a Flame Wheel! (24/25). She was bearly lingering. Quick Attack! (28/30) took care of those few remaining Hit Points.

Niran grew to level 17. Niran wants to learn Stomp, what do you want to forget?

"Stomp for Ember, he's not going to be a special attacker," I state. Letting Niran back up in a standoff against the remainders.

"What-? I've never seen such a creature, is the fire apart of it?" The giant questions. He doesn't sound like he's expecting answers.

"I'm a 'he'. Don't call me an 'it' Giant." Niran retorts. Mr 5 attempts to attack in the 'distraction'. Flames join mane and tail. "Honestly, you'd think they'd learn by now."

"How are you alive? Miss Friday sprayed you full of bullets." Mr 5 announced. We turn to face him.

"We're seven different beings. We don't share an actual body nor any wounds. Hurting Nico just made the rest of us pissed at your group."

"Hurting? So Miss Friday didn't even kill one of you." Miss Goldenweek stated blandly. Well, at least she isn't mute like Red. Nice to know she isn't a secret badass. So many Champions these days are mute.

"And none of you are going to either!" Fire swirls around Niran in a vortex as we're about to launch at the young girl. Yay for a lack of morals on fighting children.

Does fire resist fire? Doesn't matter, Mr 5 can't hurt us. Special Attackers typically have weaker Physical Defences, "Flame Wheel on Goldenweek."

The usual flames envelop us as we race towards the stoic child. A wall of wax intercepts us.

We melt through it but it almost trapped us. The fire around Niran burnt out because of the limited oxygen. We glared at Mr 3 and launch into another Flame Wheel (22/25). An explosive breath bullet (seriously? Wait, I shouldn't reject an enemy's stupidity) joins our fire but a wax wall with a black sigil dragged into our path. What?

We melt into the wall and though the hotter flames made the wax melt faster, it still went out. The wax is a flipping Protect, isn't it?

But suddenly I was out amidst the hot melted wax, two tendrils of wax heading towards me. I twist with the grace of a baby giraffe but I avoid the first passes. HPE, your use of Dodgeball and Oztag has potentially saved me for now.

I run out of the way of the second pass. I can't even look inside, what happened?

We got 'im. I'm comin' up. And then Darcy's there instead of me and I can see what had happened.

Niran lays on the ground, Gira pinning him with a foot while Zhaleh is slowly washing away the remains of black paint on the Ponyta's neck. Nico picks a tangerine off Terra's back and starts fiddling with it.

"'Betrayal Black'. Luckily it wasn't the full effect due to the bending of reality involved with our transformation but…" The peel gets stuffed into the grove on Terra's back. "Anyway, your brain wasn't affected because he's reflexes and you share it, it's not lent or something he can voluntarily affect. However, we didn't get the same protection." She stares at Gira. "Good thing we have a guardian angel in here with us."

"I am the Renegade Pokémon Nico, not to mention the devil equivalent," Gira growls.

"Lucifer's an angel, and yet he's also the devil," Nico says. Wait, who's Lucifer?

Gira just humphs and his wing extends to point at the window. Darcy dances around another black sigil to Force Palm (1/10) a wax blade that had repined the stout giant to the ground. It shatters with a super effective. So Devil Fruits can create non-sentient, non-EXP granting obstacles that function like Substitutes? Right focus on other things.

"Oi! Manipulation's off da table Smeargle." He announces.

"Let's make it so Darcy."

We launch at Goldenweek with a Quick Attack (12/30) and try to finish her with a Drain Punch (2/10). It didn't work, she got the full force of the first move but was only scraped by the second. It dealt the same amount of damage as the normal move, even though the fighting had a better base power and STAB to bolster it.

We lost our last Detect (0/5) to avoid getting plastered with a huge dollop of yellow paint. Because last I remember, or at least Terra definitely does, is that yellow roses can mean either jealousy or friendship depending on the region. I'm not eager to see the effects regardless.

"Arrgghhh!" It's accompanied by laughter. Fudge there's too many and they don't abide by the laws of a Pokémon Battle. I mean, I wasn't really either with the multiple moves per six-second turns but really?

Wait, who's in charge of my common sense and intelligence? It's me, and apparently, I'm an idiot because I'm fighting people with brains who don't know anything about Pokémon and wouldn't care for the laws behind them anyway. Urrgh.

"Zoro is currently planning to cut his legs off and Brogy, the 'stout giant', is going to risk tearing his hands apart to help. You are impressing them all but Nami is muttering that you are indeed battle obsessed. She will be on your case about it again after this is all over."

I look back at him in shock. "I don't think I have ever heard you say that much… ever."

He sighs, "Keep paying attention, I will relay anything we notice into ways that will assist these different styles of battles." He comes up behind me and settles. "You are all insufferable but you six are the only ones who care about me to any degree. I will keep helping in the only way I can."

"Keep helping? You were being quite restrictive back there Gira." Terra questions on my left then faceplants, moaning, into the ground.

I feel like doing the same. A screen appears in front of me, it's… familiar. There are four options displayed in different bright colours. Bright red states Moves in the largest box. Under it is the Yellow, Blue and Green boxes saying Items, Run and Pokémon. Above it is a line of the Straw Hat crew's Level and HP bars with the Baroque Works even higher with their Levels and HP.

I drag the Pokémon box out to the side and enlarge it, it shows each of my Pokémon's condition. Nico has red in her bar, displaying the damage from her injuries. Niran has a black and purple swirl next to his name that suddenly disappears.

'Confusion' cured.

I look up at Gira, "Thank you." I stare at up at the screen with Darcy racing over to Zoro, berating him for being so nonchalant about cutting off his own feet. "-'re not tryin' ta rescue ya for ya ta cut your own legs off! We don't 'ave a doctor and who knows what things ya could pick up from an open cut on a prehistoric Island!" A blast clips us. Dealing reduced damage but Explosions have a radius of effect so not much.

Still, that's 50% of his health he's reduced to. Those last two Drain Punches are going to be vital.

Luffy, Usopp and Karoo have entered the battlefield.

I switch with Darcy. "Oi Captain, be careful with the painter. She turned Niran on us with her Black Paint." I glance at the Candelabra and the gia- Broggy. His name is Broggy. "I'll get everyone out of their confines so you three get those three." I wave before Darcy huffily switches and we dodge the blast that now goes over our heads. Heh, size and shape differences can assist evasion.

We face the Candelabra and consider the giant. The constraints on Broggy would be easier to break but more move consuming. On the other hand, the Straw Hats are smaller and would get converted into wax sooner. But Luffy, Usopp and Karoo might need the assist. Arceus damn my anxiety and overthinking brain!

I open Moves to review.

12/30 Quick Attacks, 1/10 Force Palm, 2/10 Drain Punches and 0 Detects left. No Human gets these restrictions of only four moves and a certain amount of uses each.

Think of Power Points as a person's Stamina. A move with fewer Power Points requires more Stamina. Gira explains. They are all getting a quarter of a Pokémon's Stamina to perform the moves. It doesn't change except with Power Point Ups. They reduce the amount of stamina the Pokémon uses in that move only.

Either way, Darcy can't break everyone free. Nico says. What about Niran?

I check on Niran's Summary and specifically his moves.

20/20 Poison Jabs, 20/20 Stomps, 28/30 Quick Attacks and 22/25 Flame Wheels.

"WHAT!? Oh yeah, the dinos were all rock types cause fossils… Whelp. Let's go Niran. You did great out there Darcy!" I call out.

Nico, Terra, Gira and Zhaleh stare at me. I could feel the judgement and surprise. "Ya use ta say stuff like dat all the time back in Sinnoh. Ya 'aven't said it since." Darcy shrugs.

Oh, I focused on the outside to escape the judgement. We began melting Zoro out first, it was a bit slow going, the wax was thick and we were trying to avoid damaging Zoro further. Almost made me miss Ember.

Just cauterise the wounds. Time is ticking, I have no influence over that. Gira states.

I bite my lip. Zoro looks down at us. I knew what he'd say before he said it.

And Nami worries about my tendencies, Zoro is clearly the masochistic one here.

"Flame Wheel, Niran. Your natural flames aren't hot enough." I say, knowing it's not going to work for Vivi and Nami. "Get the Giant next. Buying time isn't easy with a limit."

"Are you sure, Aliahra? If I burn him then it would reduce his physical attack too. And I could seriously hurt him." Niran brings up.

"Bleeding has a certainty of death if not prevented, not to mention but it would make him confused and dizzy. Sorry, but this is the better option. Zoro knows what he's asking for." I say.

"Perhaps we could take down the Candelabra." Nico observes. "Although cauterising Zoro's legs and Brogy's hands can be more easily explained away if we free them first. It'll just be a coincidence."

I stop and stare at the Staravia, wondering where this… deviousness came from.

"Nico, you've spent to much time with Gira." Terra states, looking uneasy.

"I'm mischievous, might as well make use of it. And you all haven't spent enough time with him." She looks over to Zhaleh. "Except you of course."

Zhaleh rolls his eyes. "I don't get much time with Terra, so it's fine." He slips next to me. "Fire requires oxygen, so Darcy's last fighting moves would come in handy."

"Although as a product of a Devil Fruit, water could be more useful." Gira adds.

I nod. Niran's PP for Flame Wheel drops to twenty-one as Zoro becomes free. He nods at us and rushes off to assist the others. I resist the urge to look at what is happening behind Niran. If I look at that fight I'll get drawn into it. My priority is preventing my ride and the local from becoming wax statues. No one is dying on my watch.

I was about to switch to Zhaleh but then I heard this gem.

"You won't be able to break my Wax, it's as hard as steel!" Came from the battlefield. Kinda curious now but no. I've got a job to do. Also, the durability of steel mate? Fire and Fighting beat steel! I scoff inwardly. I move to select Flame Wheel again but remember.

"We're not technically in a fight, are we?" I realise. "Niran, use your hooves and try to break it that way!"

Its hooves are 10 times harder than diamonds. Is in the Kanto Pokedex about Ponyta. Diamonds are already a 10 on the Hardness Scale which is the highest rank. I don't know if Skyrim was lying but Corundum and Iron in it make Steel and Corundum is a 9 on that Hardness Scale.

…. What's Skyrim? And how did I know this?

Your mother is a geologist. Giratina supplied.

"That only answers one question. Although my mum's a geologist? I guess she works from home or something or maybe she's retired?" This is giving me a headache.

She retired after you were born and got a job again after you left the house. Now focus, Aliahra. Gira said.

I shake myself out of it to see Niran kick the Candelabra hard enough to send the top of it toppling off and landing on the ground with a loud thump. The fire snuffed out.

Niran used Low Kick! Niran wants to learn Low Kick permanently, what do you want to forget?

I allow myself a second to just stare. Darcy does too, though he thwacks me with my own hair after the second has passed.

I see Technical Moves are still learnable. Provided we find out how to and then use it. Is all Giratina says.

"Whelp. Bye, bye Quick Attack. You were nice while you lasted. You can give me the specs of the move later okay Gira?" I return my full attention to the outside. "Get Nami and Vivi out, Niran!"

+200 Kg. 120 Power. Low Kick (18/20) demolishes the rest of the Candelabra. I stare in awe and pride. Awesome.

Niran had the right idea to haul Nami and Vivi out of the wreckage. It was some very impressive destruction, okay? I wanted to admire it with the time and respect it deserved.

Terra nudges me. "Imagine what it will be like when I get Earthquake."

I stare at him. "It will be epic."

I think the fight is already over on the Straw Hat's part. Niran interrupts. He wonders over and demolishes the knives in Broggy. Low Kick (14/20).

Apparently Wax is heavy. It must be to create such a thick density to replicate the durability of steel. I switch in when Niran trots back to the Straw Hats.

"I am almost tempted to have Darcy knock one of you out. He's very close to levelling up." I glare at their wounds. "But I, unfortunately, have a conscience. I'm not messing you up further."

Luffy laughs at me. Nice to know I'm amusing. I am actually split on it myself. Am I actually put out or am I trying to joke about it? Apparently, char-boiled and bird brains don't give you the best emotional stability. It's plain out not working in some areas.

Matter is a trickier thing to manipulate than Anti-Matter. Gira informs me. I facepalm. Matter and Anti-Matter DO NOT react well together. Like, exploding with extreme prejudice. I am ensuring no one explodes here in the Distortion World. I am also controlling the small pocket of matter in the One Piece World I have used to 'switch' the six of you out with.

"What." I am not even properly paying attention to the Straw Hats as Sanji appears with what we need and stating he avenged Nico for us. I said thanks, don't worry.

You are not of this world. You are not from the Calm Belt. There was a danger so I removed us from our dimensions and have taken us here. Gira says. I will not lose any of you. The Straw Hats, while it will be a dangerous path, are our best option while I finish transitioning us. You do not remember Unova, but I did replicate a Rotation Battle Format for now. Double and Triple Battles will take more time.

How much have I forgotten, Giratina? I ask. As the crew started returning to the Going Merry. I was trailing behind a little.

A lot. Quite a bit of it vital, I now realise.

I groan. "Well, flipping fried turkeys on a Friday. This is a revelation I cannot even process right now."

Sanji stares at me. "What do you mean, my lady?" Oh, right they're still here.

"Gira told me that apparently, none of us are from this world. I cannot really process it because my mind is so fudged up I should not even be able to function. Not that it's functioning well as it is. I'm a chronic liar under stress and my memories contain a lot of false ones." I look at him. "This human body is so unbelievably fragile that I will likely never be able to help except through my Pokémon. Except that's messed up too because I do not remember everything about fighting and there are no globally accepted laws on how fights take place because this is, in fact, a different world. I should be panicking, but I'm not."

I face him completely. "You and the others are experienced. Please teach me." I don't know if I was asking or stating. "I meant it when I said I wanted to be the best like no one ever was. I want to be a pillar of strength for this crew. There's only going to be a small amount of us. Luffy wants around ten crew members, although I don't know how my Pokémon and I count in that. I don't want to be the weak link here, Sanji."

Sanji just stares at me considering. He's serious. Confessing to the chronic liar thing may not have been the best move but I was panicking. His stare is, without a doubt, intimidating. Honesty is the best policy? I'm hoping that may help here.

Sanji smiles at me. "I'm glad you trust us now." And he just keeps walking. My shoulders feel weightless.

I breathe easier than I have in a while.


Coming up Next: Identity

You came up with that on the spot!

Yes.

Not even, denying it. Oh well.

Indeed.

I'm thinking of doing a bit of a revamp of previous chapters, to be honest. No story elements just. Try to improve it somewhat. Maybe even take out the font styles for my Pokémon. I'll definitely fix up Zhaleh's Gender confusion and return Giratina to Non-Binary status. 15 year old me did not know as much about the LGBTQIA+ community then. I've realised I'm either Pan or Asexual myself since then.

Is this something most of you want?

Review Responses: (3) Go back and respond to others Aliahra. Tomorrow.

RoseRavenWillow RandomFangirl: My new rock is called University and Anxiety. It likes to scream at me. Also, Aliahra will be getting her memory back. I use this story to help me get through some issues I know I have. I made sure to reference Miss Goldenweek as Smeargle. Can't remember if I did to Mr 3 and Litwick.

TheLightFairyHearts: Thank you for thinking so :).

Gamelover41592: Thank you. I'm gonna have to reread my story to see what you mean about the dreams.
