Sinnoh: Dreaming in Darkness

This chapter following the end of Team Rocket Returns.

Plot

The episode begins with Cyrus waking up from a never-ending darkness caused by Darkrai. Wanting to live in this never-ending ideal void, Cyrus states he will learn more about sync stones and Sygna Suits to harness their power.

At the laboratory, Professor Bellis informs the player that the International Police have started their investigations on Pasio, including into recent issues with Team Galactic. Barry leaves to stop Team Galactic, while Lucas and Dawn go to inform Cynthia.

At some ruins, Lucas and Dawn arrive and find Cynthia. Cynthia tells them that Legendary Pokémon seem to have been appearing at these ruins, and that Giratina appears to be interested in the traces of other Pokémon that have come here. Dialga then appears suddenly before disappearing, and Lucas wonders if it was trying to tell them something. Dawn then goes on to report to Cynthia about Team Galactic's operations on Pasio. A mysterious man spots the cave and enters the Team Galactic hideout disguised as Grunt with Croagunk.

At Centra City, Brock and Erika confront and defeat Team Galactic commanders Jupiter, Mas and Saturn who have been trapping other Trainers in a nightmare. Barry arrives, and the team head back to Bellis's lab to update Cynthia, Dawn and Lucas on this mysterious phenomenon. They speculate that Team Galactic appear to be harnessing Darkrai's power, before Professor Bellis reports to the team that the International Police have found Team Galactic's hideout. Near the hideout, Cynthia, Lucas and Dawn meet Barry. Cynthia suggests that the team should split out with her being alone. That means Lucas, Dawn, and Barry will go as a group.

Inside the hideout, the team battling against three Grunts. The other Grunt, which is mystery man that was with Croagunk, commands it to stop the other Grunt's Pokémon. Later, these Pokémon has fainted and the Grunts retreated. The mystery man who was actually Looker, removes his Grunt disguise and introduced himself. He was sent to International Police to investigate Pasio. Looker left and he disguises as Grunt again. Cynthia alone met with commanders, challenges their Pokémon with Giratina and wins. She warns the commanders about consequences what Cyrus will do. Saturn say that he is seeking more power to create a brand-new universe.

Lucas, Dawn, and Barry met with Cyrus, who now have both Dialga and Palkia and command to get them. Dialga disobey Cyrus. Palkia attacks it, and Lucas wants him to stop this. Cyrus say he wants to create a world that got rid of incomplete spirit and where feelings no longer exist with all human spirit must be erased, with his conversation was heard at the lab. At hideout, Cynthia left the commanders, as they are questioning him. Cyrus become victorious on the team's Pokémon. Lucas's sync stone is reacting what Dialga has been waiting for this and he forms the sync pair with it. Lucas and Dialga use their sync move against Cyrus's Palkia and defeated Cyrus. After the battle, Cyrus with Darkrai were vanished. Looker inform team that Grunts were asleep due to Darkrai powers.

A few days later, at the lab, the team discuss that Cyrus's plans has been putting into action and all sync pairs all over Pasio are falling asleep, having terrible nightmares and no waking up. Looker mentions that the affected sync pairs are getting treated at the Pokémon Center. Dawn arrives and she informed that she was able to wake up all affected sync pairs with Cresselia's power.

Cyrus in his sygna suit appears inside the Darkrai's Dark Void and claim that it is the ideal world he seek.

At the Bellis Lab, Dawn dresses herself in sygna suit to match Cresselia's colors. Professors Sycamore and Bellis arrive to the lab and report that Darkrai's nightmare is taken over with Sycamore falls asleep because of it.

Cynthia and company arrive to Centra City to see the sync pairs fall asleep. They thought that Darkrai's power overpowering Cresselia's. They later returned to the lab, because they can also be asleep. The commanders arrive to the lab to help the company finding Cyrus.

They found the asleep grunt, which actually is disguised Looker. He found the whereabouts of Cyrus. The group arrive to the cave and see Darkrai. They entered the Dark Void, with Dawn's Cresselia using power to wake up Cyrus from nightmare. They battled him and won. After that, they told Cyrus about how important feelings and bonds are. Cyrus managed to understand it and leaves with his commanders. Meanwhile, Giovanni appears at the scene after Cyrus leave and calls his loyal subordinates to preparing Team Rocket's Revival. At the lab, the group hope Cyrus will change.
