I wasn't sure if we really dodged a bullet there or what, but I believed it was a trap. In any case, I wasn't alone for very long.

"Captain Ashfield... you woke up, what happened?"

Massadar. The guy was freaking out and it was quickly getting annoying, so I figured I'd get him to relax.

"I couldn't wake up any of you before!" Massadar shouted again. "How did you wake up!? We can't leave them like this!"

"Shut up, sit down, and relax," I told him, really giving him the look that he should just chill out. "It was some kind of shared dream, and Diabora was there. They're not dead if that's what you're thinking."

"N-N-Noah, what is happening?" Some other scientist dude asked me.

I honestly wasn't sure myself, but I knew for a fact that freaking out like these guys were doing just made me feel like smashing glass to work the irritation off.

"I think it's some kind of trap," I told him. "I doubt it's going to take Raidon long to figure it out."

And it was true, it wasn't long until the boss and Tiantus came to. Shortly after, Reg and Finch soon followed. The only one who was still sleeping was Celebi.

"Ugh, what does my fucking face hurt?" Tiantus asked.

Probably because some moron kicked it.

"Captain Ashfield, priority number one right now is stopping Diabora," the boss told me. "This incident has proven him too powerful to exist. He questions my stranglehold on Hoenn and eventually all of Maridia. As such, we will use whatever means necessary to wipe his scum from the face of this planet. Is this clear?"

"You bet your ass it is," I nodded. "I have a feeling that asshat meant to keep us trapped in there much longer, but we're nobody's bitch."

I got back on my feet, but then I could tell something happened in that dream that I felt I needed to speak up about. If I didn't mention this now, it was going to peck my brain apart.

"I dunno about you, but while we were in there, I had a feeling we weren't alone," I told the boss. "I made contact with the guy that Diabora referred to as Qinglong, and Diabora mentioned I was the seed of Qinglong the same way he said you were the seed of Zhu-Quiao, whoever the hell that is. Now, at first I thought it could have been just part of the dream, but then again, that wouldn't make sense. Qinglong actually helped me bail out of that dream trap, which would be total paradox if Qinglong was only limited to Diabora's dream itself. There's no damn way Diabora would have put in an exit guide in his own dream trap. That means somewhere out there, I owe somebody named Qinglong a beer."

As for where the hell he was, I didn't have a clue. But in any sense, I was hoping he'd find me first. And I was hoping he would beat Diabora when it came to that race.

Oh, that was awful! After a really long shower and getting myself dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, I knew that horrible experience was going to give me nightmares for years! I still think Kaede didn't have it nearly as bad as I did, but if I tried to get payback for a payback, oh boy, this cycle could go on for years and it would be UGLY.

It really made me think about something though. Being trapped in that... oh, totally disgusting skunk body was not cool considering that hey, I'd be stuck like that if I didn't have anyone inject me with the reversal agent. I mean given, no one should ever, EVER mix Snorlax into their Chimera form, but it did present a pretty iffy scenario. Some Ultra Chimera forms could leave the person trapped and stuck like that unless they got help. I mean heck, Keade could have been heartless and just left me like that for days if she wanted! Yikes. But in any cases, I was thinking... maybe we should look into allowing reversal evolution be possible without the need for reversal agents, just so as long as it was all in the mind.

This was going to be tough though. But hey, where reversal evolution could be allowed, so could forward evolution! Now... how to make evolution and reverse evolution possible without chemicals, all controlled by mental focus. Ho boy, I might just be trying to do the impossible here. The Chimera's body would have to be "naturally" producing both evolution and reverse evolution chems in their own body, and said chemicals would need to be mentally activated... somehow. But hey, if it were possible, that would mean...!

...a Chimera could just keep evolving... possibly infinitely!

No way, could it really be possible!? It was really cool to think about it this way, but yeah, I'd have to really think this one over.

In the meantime, I heard they were making "improvements" to my Chimera mutagens. Pft, yeah, whatever. Apparently, I first learned that some knucklehead thought "hey, it's inefficient, we found a way you could add four extra Pokémon forms to it to make for a total of twelve." TWELVE!? Who was the nutball who thought hey, slapping a whopping twelve Pokémon parts to a single person was a good idea? I mean heck, I was even feeling the overload with just that bunny angel form, and that only had eight! Whoever had twelve was going to be like some crazy, funky multi-headed carnival freak show that would give little kids nightmares for years! Really, I tried HARD to think of four extra Pokémon I could tack onto the angel bunny form without making a total mess of it. And yeah, I just couldn't do it!

And then I found out that knucklehead was Massadar. Yeah, because that lab clown liked putting his own touch into everything we made around this joint. Kind of like finding out he put raisins in the batter you meant to be for chocolate chip cookies! Why did he have to go mess around with something that was great already?

In any case, I figured I'd try toying around with the idea of evolution and reversal evolution. A MAX evolution... hey, that made for a cool name! AMAXA. Sounded.. epic! So, Project AMAXA... totally about seeing if it were possible to have a Chimera mutagen equip a Chimera with a reversal agent gland and a FES gland and somehow have those both be connected to the Chimera's neural network. I dunno, sounded like a fantasy dream, but hey, maybe Kaede could be swayed to work on it. I did give her a pretty convincing reason why it might be handy in the case a Chimera got stuck!
