it was late. spectra training and study sessions with the dream machine were shut down for the day. what little power she still felt or imagined in rocket’s laboratories was there, in that room. she was doing research. she was doing maintenance.[break][break]

she was setting out champagne, and smoking a cigarette. what would they do? slap on the wrist? grounded by ? at least she was on the submarine, and not hiding out in a hole in galar.[break][break]

after a fateful night alone with much tequila and a broken window, she’d ceased gnawing on the leash, and found herself wholly out of cares to give. she was changed, she decided. she was weightless and strange and wonderful.[break][break]

after such a transformative self-discovery, it did not take long to reach out to a good friend: the other mad scientist. on that evening, they would be mad together again – but first, she would allow herself this belated celebration, of the birth of the machine that she’d nearly regretted.[break][break]

how ridiculous. it was her greatest achievement.[break][break]

the tera crystals fitted within it shimmered, alive and waiting.[break][break]

All tasks fall to the wayside whenever Lulu comes calling. Oscar would not dare miss a new development from his closest scientific ally, and so he dropped everything to meet up with her. As he entered the lab, Oscar would provide a vibrant wave before abruptly pausing. The machine that stood behind Lulu was what first caught his eye, it was a startling creation lined with tera crystals. The sight was nearly overwhelming, and Oscar's joy managed to choke him up.

"You--you're using the tera crystals?" He pressed a hand to his chest as he fought back giggles of jubilation. "And here I thought you were reluctant. Oh Lulu, this warms the fuck out of my heart." It was like being presented with a beautiful gift, a surprise of immeasurable value. Oscar had assumed that he would be alone in his tera crystal research, as Lulu's fear of the material seemed to outweigh her fascination. This device was a wonderful sentiment, even if it was not intended to be so.

Oscar stepped forward, wiping his eyes with one of his gloved hands. "I am so glad I cleared my schedule for this. What is it?"

“they’ve been in use for a little while, actually. i still just wasn’t sure about them.” her brow pinched for a small, pensive moment before a grin wiped away any trace of uncertainty. ”but now i am. fuck it!”[break][break]

a laugh burst from her like the cork of the bottle in her hands, sent careening across the room with a loud pop. she poured two glasses and handed one off to oscar, cigarette still hanging out of the side of her mouth before it was plucked out between two fingers.[break][break]

paradox pokemon. a dream inside a dream. what’s going on in their heads? we’re going to find out tonight.” before taking a sip of champagne, she raised it a little and added, ”cheers.”[break][break]

Oscar was startled by the popping cork, flinching as it flew across the room. As Lulu handed him a brimming glass, Oscar would eye it quizzically. He did not know what exactly they were celebrating, but whatever put a smile on Lulu's face made him happy too. Oscar accepted the glass. His face shifted into a smile, and he gladly tapped Lulu's glass as she lifted it. "Fuck yeah, cheers."

He took a small sip before turning his attention back to the machine. His enthusiasm began to steadily build, fueled by his curiosity at what Lulu had meant. He had not given the paradox pokemon much thought, which in retrospect was foolish. They were as mysterious as any legendary pokemon or natural energy--and if Lulu had the key to their secrets Oscar was more than happy to take a peek.

"Now tell me everything. Spare not a single detail, what do you have planned for us tonight?"

she sipped and set the glass down, extinguishing her cigarette into a petri dish and plucking a pokeball off the table.[break][break]

”in this ball is a paradox pokemon that’s been dubbed iron crown. it’s a steel/psychic-type that resembles cobalion.”[break][break]

the ball was slotted into a clear chamber, releasing it into yet another prison. it pawed and headbutted the glass, to no avail.[break][break]

”dream mist will put it to sleep, and its dreams will be extracted and digitized with porygon-z. once the dream is recorded and uploaded to the machine, we will be able to experience it ourselves, through an immersive simulation – not unlike the rks system. it utilizes the same technology.”[break][break]

regarding the mysterious pokemon a moment more, she then looked to oscar again, asking, ”what do you make of the mechanical paradox pokemon? i’ve heard theories that they come from the future, but i’m not sure i’m sold on that yet.”[break][break]

however, she hoped the dream would reveal enough to settle her indecision.[break][break]

Oscar grew more and more excited with every detail Lulu revealed. To walk through the simulation of a dream? This was the kind of beautiful sci-fi nonsense that Oscar strove to make into a reality! The fact that Lulu has pulled off such a feat filled Oscar with a sense of admiration, she truly was a wonder.

Oscar held in his glee long enough to answer Lulu's question. "They are an absolute mystery to me. I've heard theories that the dream mist invented them itself, cobbling together hypothetical versions of existing pokemon. If that is true, dream mist is one of the most powerful forces within our world. I recently had the privilege to take a look inside the arm of a--what do they call it--ah, Iron Valiant! The mechanisms inside were completely alien, yet I was able to discern how it fit together and functioned."

Oscar raised a hand to his chin, rubbing it profusely as he became increasingly exhilarated. "In other words, the Iron Valiant was not merely created out of thin air. Someone had to think through the tech that would make it function and fit it all together--just like any other robot from today. Yet the layout was so bizarre, you would think someone made it up on the spot and forced everything to work together flawlessly--just like any invention within a dream. So say the dream mist did create it, that would mean that the dream mist is capable of creating complex constructs with fully hypothetical yet functioning mechanisms untested by modern science! It would be an amazing discovery! Who knows what we could create with such power!"

Oscar realized that he was getting carried away, quickly composed himself. "It's all theoretical of course." He cleared his throat before downing the rest of his glass and placing it on a nearby surface. He clapped his hands together as he approached the machine, "So, that begs the question: What do dreams dream about?"

though the dream machine was a thing apart from the rks system, its heart was very much the same: a mystery. so were its other elements, to a great extent. after all the time she’d spent studying dream mist, she could not say with certainty what all it was capable of. [break][break]

”i’m sure you heard about the megalopolan spaceship discovered under route 119? i was on board. the controls weren’t like megalopolan technology i’d seen. it changed to be more accessible; to be what we needed for a quick escape. i think it was a kid that got it off the ground.” she paused, recollecting. ”after we made it out of that cave of crystals, it just… disappeared.“[break][break]

she stared off for a moment, returning to the table to reach for her glass and take a quiet, pensive sip.[break][break]

”the dream mist is very powerful, especially around the tera crystals. i’m still not totally sure how one interacts with the other yet, but i think we ought to be investigating it further.”[break][break]

her attention soon returned to the iron crown. ’what do dreams dream about?’ she echoed his question. ”let’s find out, shall we?”[break][break]

with a few strokes on a glowing keypad, pink mist filled the chamber that contained the paradox pokemon. its silhouette visibly collapsed with a loud thud. once it was asleep, the mist began to filter out again.[break][break]

”now, we’ll extract the dream,” lulu announced.[break][break]

a porygon-z hovered close to the chamber, the light in the room dimming against the pink glow of the z-move dream weaver. through a chamber window, the iron crown’s dream was sucked out in a glittering cloud, stretching into spiraling, noodly wisps of pink and blue.[break][break]

Oscar watched the entire process with childlike wonder, nearly giggling at every colorful flash and burst of energy. The tera crystals were an especially fascinating spectacle, as they performed their function exactly as Oscar had hoped they would when he fantasized about utilizing them back in Area Zero. To see a hypothesis be fulfilled was a remarkable pleasure without equal.

As the dream was extracted, Oscar would turn to Lulu with glittering enthusiasm. "What's next? How do we see into the dream?"

the color-shifting dream wisps disappeared, along with the porygon-z which squeezed itself into the digital realm of the machine. within, the dream was carefully placed into the database, and it observed with pride its growing collection.[break][break]

outside, lulu returned the iron crown to its ball, the paradox pokemon having just come to and been pushing itself to its feet groggily.[break][break]

“dream mist,” lulu explained. “previously, we would have had to sleep ourselves to see it, but now, with mist collected from the interdream zone, we can view the dream while awake, like any other training simulation.”[break][break]

after a few keystrokes, she looked over her shoulder at him. ”ready?” knowing oscar’s enthusiasm, however, she didn’t wait for a response. interdream zone mist plumed into the air, transforming their surroundings.[break][break]

the pink turned deeper, denser, before fading to the indiscernible color of nothing, an almost-hue that shifted indescribably when looking at it too closely.[break][break]

”interesting... i've never seen this before.”[break][break]

but then, in the womb of thought, a dangerous conception began.[break][break]

a cobalion galloped through the mist. on opposing trajectories were various machines: a motorbike, a spacecraft, far more fantastical mechas. their images flashed a variety of colors, immaterial like dream wisps in the waking world.[break][break]

Oscar did not need to answer Lulu's confirmation for readiness, he was born ready for this moment. To witness the physical manifestation of a dream was a privilege he would value forever. His body shook as the mist manifested images right before his very eyes. When the scene solidified, Oscar could not help but stare in complete awe.

He watched the machines grow more and more complex, eventually becoming incomprehensible to his regrettably contemporary mind. The cobalion, however, could not keep up with such staggering progress. It became older and older, withering away until it turned into nothing but ashes. The scene paused as the noble pokemon's remains settled onto the ground.

Suddenly, the ashes shifted as an iron hoof burst out from within. An Iron Crown pulled itself from the dust pile, as if digging its way out of a grave. As its full form was revealed, the Iron Crown let out a triumphant roar before turning and running back toward Oscar and Lulu. Oscar was almost too entranced to find the meaning in such a display, though luckily for him the symbolism was rather obvious.

"Perhaps..." He said quietly as he collected his thoughts. "...in the future, maybe we will have to find a way to adapt in a world without legendary pokemon. Would we let things be as nature dictates--or will we make our own?"

parts were abstracted from machines beyond modern comprehension, fusing into an amalgamation of man’s ingenuity and god’s ash.[break][break]

“we are engineers of power. it’s what humans do.” and so, of course they would make their own, regardless of the will of nature, at least until it killed them all.[break][break]

as the iron crown approached them, she reached out to put a hand on its nose, feeling the cool metal and looking into the gaze of the machine. she found that it made genesect’s seem warm and familiar in comparison.[break][break]

the many colors of the dream eventually faded to the bright fluorescent light and metal walls of the submarine lab.[break][break]

“i’ve looked at many dreams from many different minds. its awareness of the ideas that have come together to conceive it is remarkably meta.”[break][break]

As the dream faded, Oscar clapped his hands together in front of his nose. He breathed in deeply, his eyes closing as he took in the feelings of elated satisfaction that had come from witnessing such an amazing achievement. They had watched the dream of a pokemon--a paradox pokemon no-less. It was an experience that he would hold onto forever, especially as they delve deeper still into the dream world.

Oscar nodded as he reopened his eyes, formulating his own thoughts on the nature of the Iron Crown's consciousness. He pointed both of his fingers toward Lulu. "That's even more interesting if we adhere to the theory that paradox pokemon aren't 'real' pokemon from the past or future. The fact that something that had no real creation could dream up a perfectly logical explanation for why it was made is--fuckin' mind blowing. I'm fuckin' pumped this is great."

Oscar ran his hands through his hair, chuckling as he once again reflected on what he had just witnessed. It was unequivocally amazing, but there was one question left unanswered. He looked back to Lulu, a spark of joy in his gaze. "Where do we go from here?"

lulu pondered, silent for a moment, before pivoting to another possibility. ”maybe the iron crown was created, somewhere; its history just doesn’t exist in our world.”[break][break]

for a growing while, an old theory had seemed less and less farfetched. it was time to share.[break][break]

”consider the possibility that the dream world goes infinitely beyond the scope of our collective imagination, existing between and connecting all timelines and alternate universes.”[break][break]

her hand closed around the bottle of champagne at the table, pouring bubbles upon bubbles.[break][break]

“in dreams, we are largely isolated to our perspective and the memory of the world we know. but by pushing beyond personal experience, by breaking out of the cage, we may fully explore the unseen, and know what is unknowable in this existence. we may even travel to other worlds.”[break][break]

plucking the stem of her glass, she turned back to oscar and his question, her gaze sparkling with an answer.[break][break]

”the interdream zone is a portal, opened by the key that is the tera crystal. on the far side is the dream world, and beyond that, if my theory is correct: more portals.”[break][break]

her eyes lingered on the tera shards that jutted from the dream machine at the center of the room.[break][break]

”we already have a key to unlock them. all we need is to find them, without drowning in the deep.”[break][break]

Oscar gave Lulu a knowing smile, his eyes gleaming with the allure of infinite possibilities. When Lulu had first spoken to Oscar about her goals, Oscar steadfastly vowed to remain by her side as they parsed the secrets of the dream world. In this moment, as their goals seemed closer than ever before, Oscar would reaffirm his dedication.

"I'm so tired of this world. I'm with you all the way Lulu, until the moment of absolute triumph or failure."

Oscar made his way to the Champaign bottle and refilled their glasses. As he did so, his mind was cleared of the immense road ahead. There was no doubt a thousand things to do in order to make Lulu's dream a reality--but it was not the time to linger on such things. "For now, we should celebrate what you've accomplished so far." Once their glasses were full and clasped, Oscar would raise his up to knock it lightly against Lulu's. "To the future, and our escape from this world."

escape.[break][break]

once, she’d sought to see the world crumble and leave it all behind, but with a few close companions in tow. lately, that vision had left the world unravaged, but also, friends had faded from it. the vessel had seen in her wellspring mask dream had embarked on a lonely journey.[break][break]

even through the dream world, perhaps she would push further, to the stars wherever they were. and if she went, there would be some people far more difficult to leave behind than others, but to leave oscar clayton behind was painful to imagine.[break][break]

she gazed at him, taking in each miraculously healed feature, and remembering she’d nearly lost him twice already.[break][break]

“and to us,” she finished, raising her glass with him. “you have been the greatest friend.”[break][break]
