Abe was asleep....



But this sleep was not peaceful.



He could still hear the Voices, even in this strange cave he found himself in...



He wandered about, “Hello!? Anyone here?”



Nobody, wait, actually someone was there. Across a stone bridge, and standing on a platform. His back to Abe...



“Wake up,” the person said.



And the Voices got a little louder.



“Who are you?” Abe asked.



“I am silence,” the person said, “Your entire world is in danger if you don't wake up.”



“What do you mean, danger?”



“You're Their puppet, that's why you're here; that's why you can still hear them. They want their Lord Helix back, and you've delivered his fossil to them!”



“And you're just a dream, how do you know anything about the Voices?”

The Voices grew louder in Abe's ears as he battled with this trainer, almost deafening.



“Why are you here!? Where am I!?” Abe called out as he continued to battle, seemingly against his will at this point.

As the other trainer's Pokemon fell, Abe could hear him less and less.



“It's a Dream, Abe. The real you is out there being used by the Voices like a puppet.”



But Abe could barely hear as he took down his foe's final Pokemon.... the Voices growing deafening.... it was getting dark around him again..... it was all just a dream, wasn't it?



“Don't let yourself be used like I was used. Don't let your Pokemon become the villains of the world. Wake up, Abe!”



And then he heard an old familiar voice, “You have to wake up!”



And suddenly, there was light.....
