I Never Dream
(Continued from here)
Upon entering his mentalscape, he saw the surroundings, his room was split into 4 corners, but the room was split up.
The first corner was what looked like a higher end house, with the most noticeable piece of furniture being a lamp on a table.
The second corner was a dingy looking garage, with couches and chairs that have clearly seen better days and booze bottles. Another thing seen on the table was what looked like a swampert's hand. Not gory or cut, but just laying there.
The third looked like a club, one that would not be out of place for a crime movie, a scene where the crime boss is wasting their extravagant wealth.
Finally, there is what looks like a cave with a damp floor, which contains a number of vines covering the door with only what * assumed was some kind of tumbleweed
The only common factor that was shared between all four rooms was blue vines similar to the tangrowth's were binding the rooms together.
Suddenly, what looked like a fuzz colored walnut enclosed in a thick layer of what would look like moss formed in the middle of all the rooms. In the center were two holes which served as its eyes. The eyes opened, startling the older mon. Its eyes were red in pockets, the exact same marks that were on Grohl’s eyes.
The darkrai could not make heads or tails as to what to do from here. It was clear each room was connected to his past. What was more vague was the vineless form of Grohl.
Blue glimmers and outlines began to form along specific items in each of the rooms. In addition, a trail of blue glowing tiny bugs carried over as if to guide Oscar’s eye to the living room first.
Carefully walking towards the room, as the older darkrai needed to keep his guard up.
The bugs seemed to gather around the lamp specifically. Maybe the first thing I should do is turn on the light. See if it triggers something.
He pulled the switch.
Suddenly a tangella with a similar tree appendage and a human who looked height wise the same as Nat. Its face was noticeably vague, as faces can come off with little or no detail in these dreams, so this was not surprising. It was still unnerving
“Look. We need to get rid of you. I don’t hate you. Just, we need to move onto better things.” The voice must have been coming from the human.
A spark came from the lamp which caused the liquid to ignite into flames.
Realizing it was gas, the darkrai dove away from the inferno. Despite the flames, there was no heat, likely due to it being a dream.
The vines, which were keeping the corner of the room bound, began to recede back to the fuzzy chestnut in the center of the room. This showed it was looking more like a tangela at this point, but it was still a long way to go.
Looking back at the inferno, he saw the room segment separate itself from the other corners, collapsing into the abyss below.
“Those bugs again.” Oscar said to himself. This time they were guiding him towards the dingy garage-longue.
“Grohl! The miata doesn’t work!” The voice sounded wrathful and commanding.
“Alright, we got the money! Grohl we are leaving!” After saying this, a red handprint began to form on the wall. Small red splatters began to form on the wall.
Oscar could read between the lines and realize what this meant and what happened.
The noise of a fist making contact with a face, startled the darkrai, rendering the focus he had on the hand print lost.
“Grohl! I’m docking your pay for this! All you had to do was drive us in, shut the fuck up and drive us back. Instead, what happened was the engine exploded! Now we are down a car because of your lack of hindsight!”
“I-I tried to tell you multiple times, the engine needed to be fixed!”
“Then why did you not steal us a new car?!”
One final blow that managed to cause him to flinch, followed by the sound of metal hitting the floor.
Looking to see where the sound came from, blue bugs gather around a knife.
This caused the darkrai to just stop, looking at the knife intently. Oscar began to experience dream entrapment, though he did not know that is what it was formally called.
Any pokemon that can enter anyone’s consciousness can accidentally find themselves being slowly pulled and trapped in their subject's mind due to thinking on, or dwelling too long on their own past.
Despite it being different, the knife was not far from his own claws. Oscar had his own background as a phantom, a boogie man.
A killer. One whose signature method of attack was slashing down at the body with his claws. How many lives had he taken? Would anything come back to hurt his family? Was he no different than the people who just ‘asked’ him to help with the situation?
“This. This is not real. This is not me. It’s the tangrowth’s dream.” Oscar needed to get back on track with what he was asked to do.
Sensing a pattern of just following the bugs, the dark type picked up the knife. From there, he approached the disembodied hand.
Taking a shot in the dark, he plunged the knife into the disembodied hand.
A loud, agonizing scream came from the same horrible voice from earlier. The swampert that owned the hand had materialized, as had Grohl.
“I quit!”
With a loud crunch and then a thunk, the swampert’s thumb was cut from his hand. Blood was gushing from the maimed hand.
“Kill him! Get him! Find him!”
One thing he had noticed was Grohl had taken the finger before running off. The other thing he noticed was the vines that were wrapped around the arm also began to recede and help form the Grohl in the center’s mass. The pin tree on his head had two vines now!
As with last time, the quarter of the room fell into the abyss below, but with the knowledge of how the domain would work, taking it into account was no longer a problem.
The bugs this time seemed to direct him to the bar. Hopefully this meant this was almost done.
He stepped into the bar.
“Hey good first job!” It has sounded like the toxicroak from before.
On the bar top, a carton appeared, with a pointed straw. The older mon found it odd that the choice of drink was not alcohol but it had to be symbolic of something.
Not only that, the bugs were pointing him towards the beverage. So he abliged, jamming the straw into the slot.
“Ha! What’s that shyou got there?” A drunk voice shouted.
Suddenly Grohl and a very drunk gothita were sitting on the bar stools.
“My drink. I cannot drink alcohol. It is bad for certain grass types.” Grohl told the tiny drunk woman.
“Augh laaaame! Well if it for your health Icannot fight that. Still, iwanna buy shots of something. Gotta reward you for doing soooo well today.”
“Thank you Gwen. But I’m just doing my job.” Grohl seemed happy saying this.
Once that was said, each barstool, different Pokémon sat down of different species. Everyone from the room were there, but there were a few not present. Among noted were a female samurott with bows in her mustache, a zangoose with a scarf, a blue aipom, a malamar with one eye and a deino of all things.
After the confusing first room and the tense second room, Oscar was pleased for this one being more upbeat. A lot of feelings of nostalgia in seeing the samurott due to having strong ties to one. The drunken atmosphere put him at ease, as it reminds him of human parties from days gone-by definitely cleansed the palette from earlier.
The rumbling occurred again. The corner of the room began to plummet, which Oscar made sure he got off the chunk of room.
The construct of Grohl was looking better, though he was missing a good chunk of his left side. But his tree was now at 3 prongs.
Looking over to the final corner remaining, all there was a cluster of vines blocking the entrance, but also the random clump in front.
“Where are the bugs?” Oscar looked for the little glowing blue guides. He searched, and he received.
Forming a little circle around a tiny pool of water. This was odd, but there was a logical thought. The clustered ball was dried, maybe soaking it in this water would be the answer.
Grabbing the dried ball of vines, the darkrai bathed it in the pool of water then waited on a response.
The ball began to grow in size. An eye formed in the center of all the vines. Somehow, it managed to blink, which was unnerving. The lids look like little teeth closing.
Without acknowledging the dark type, the ball ran, screaming and running towards the vine wall.
It then exploded.
There is a lot Oscar had to ask on that, but the final cluster of vines made its way back to the Grohl construct. He got to see past the wall.
There was…another Grohl and the toxicroak from the room. The legendary had to look into this further.
“Here you go Grohl. This area is yours to use for your health. If we get any mons that you can use as nutrients, do what you need to do. Let me know if you need anything, ok.”
Wait. The toxicroak and tangrowth were potentially imprisoning Pokémon for his sustenance?
“Thanks. This really means a lot Freddy.” Grohl sounded sentimental, showing gratitude for such a morbid matter.
Before Oscar could try to gather more information, the dreamscape began to fade away.
A strong force, almost like an updraft, knocked Oscar off his feet throwing him upward and knocked him out of the dream.
