The skies were dark, approaching twilight. From the ground, Diyem appeared again, his flame standing out even in the sunless sky, absorbing what little light remained around him. His eyes had pinpricks of white light to indicate who he was staring at, if anyone. "The first night is...

Chapter 115 – Espionage and Deception The walk home was like a new breath of fresh air every step of the way. The further they got from Dark Matter, and the closer they got to the tree, the more everyone’s spirits seemed to be back to normal. It quickly dawned on them all that Dark Matter’s...

"Nah... you were busy saving the world, weren't ya?" Blue rubbed his snout. "More'n I've done." He walked toward the entrance, pushing the door open. "Flesh, I'm back," he said, wobbling inside. Flesh wobbled back, the ground rumbling for each step. Blue collapsed in front of Flesh, and the...

Blue grumbled in reply, but the words were incomprehensible, as they continued down the road. He muttered something about Green trying to swindle him out of being independent, but it probably wasn't anything substantial. Soon, they'd wound up back at their home, Blue staring forward. "...I...

Green, looking satisfied that it wasn't being pressed further, nodded and withdrew back to his seat in his cell. Yellow and Blue, meanwhile, seemed unsure if they should go. Perhaps it was by some small instinct that they wouldn't go traveling to the same place, as different Substitutes...

The sky was beginning to darken... clouds formed once more. And this time, it seemed like it was because night was coming. Less than 11 hours remain before nightfall.

In a reversal of fortune, Brisa and Astrid preparing themselves for an onslaught, and to last beyond even that pummeling, was narrowly enough to keep her going. For a fleeting instant, her return volley had knocked Potluck across the crater, where he then fell down, motionless, as his cheek...

Potluck stared down at Brisa with a gleaming grin in that metallic beak. "It's okay," he said. "I know you're still strong. I know you can take it. You guys are Team Spectrum! And you guys can do anything! Now look, I'm gonna impersonate Astrid!" He put on a playful face. "Give 'em some...

"If you want any advice," Reshiram said gently, "...My personal preference is that you do what you always do. Don't try to change your strategies too much; you've saved so much. But... perhaps some caution would be warranted... but I suspect all of your friends are doing the same. Together, if...

Green and the others exchanged a look. Then, after sighing, they looked at Dave. "If we're lucky, we can save one of us to do... something. Who knows?" Yellow waved absently. "Guess that's all, though. What comes after... I'll just be happy that I was able to help stop myself. It's whatever...

"This is going to be the most pivotal battle. For Cibus, for you... and of course, for Soda." Reshiram's eyes hardened, a pensive stare at nowhere in particular. "This Blacklight creature, whatever its true form is, changed Soda into something terrible. The least we can do for him is free him of...

"Heh." Green smirked. "I want it to be something dazzling. Get me a bunch of Blast Seeds, string them up, put on a show." "If that's too expensive, maybe that damn Charizard can donate a few of those stored Overheats or something. He loves using those. Just don't tell him what it's for." Yellow...

"Hmph. Then I suppose that means there are no more questions." Diyem turned around. "I will be leaving. Expect night to fall sooner than you think. After that... your powers will immediately reveal themselves... and those who have powers at night, you will be able to take action immediately...

"The point is..." Green sighed. "Just a little longer as myself, I guess. But hey, that's what I meant about using this time to stun Prime. At least then my 'death' will mean something, instead of just... waiting to fade."

"Mm. Of course." Diyem conjured his spear again and struck the ground in front of him with a downward slash. The point where it touched rapidly expanded into a black portal that twisted around and revealed a vision of a violet, widening wasteland with seas of red water. Distant shrieks and...

"A way to tell time without having to look at the sun," Diyem said to the one who did not understand clocks, tossing it forward where it floated in the middle of the field. It indeed seemed to be ticking down a lot faster than proper seconds... He completely ignored Mike, as well as the rolling...

"Dave..." Green looked away. "We're Substitutes. We aren't built to last. We aren't split the way Bean is, where he regulates and heals and... whatever that is. We won't last even if you save Prime. It's just... how it goes. If Prime dies, we don't know what's gonna happen, but it's by how...

The vortex was finally fully formed. Washes of various shades of black and red swirled before coalescing into something energetic and sparking with black electricity. Then, a bolt of lightning struck the ground, equally as dark as the rest of it. And again, and again, leaving behind a deep...

"Ngg... w-wow! You're... hitting hard!" Potluck nodded, even as the lights around his irises swirled faster and faster. "But I don't know if you can break through me anymore... Hee hee, I'm just too strong! But wait a little longer! I'm gonna show you my best trick! It's cool, I promise!" But...

"The omens... are from an entity that was built into the very threads of Cibus. Since we were a part of those very threads in one way or another, we were particularly vulnerable. An outsider's help was needed, and humans tend to be very strongly associated with changing Pokemon for the better...
