Dreams

Someone or something seems to be trying to communicate to the players and NPCs through their dreams. It’s often difficult to remember these dreams after the fact, but a common visual is of a Aromatise that appears to be in the shape Arella was disguised as during the players time in Alipam.

Recorded Dreams
This first dream acknowledged was by Bridget who has been experiencing a recurring nightmare where she is chasing something, but can’t catch up before being swallowed whole by a oppressive darkness.

Lucy also explains during a conversation that she often has dreams where some kind of child is begging for help, but she can never get to them on time.

Boris was the first to see the Aromatise in a dream clearly after being impacted by Arella’s aura. They had been trying to save Basil who had been petrified in Alipam and thanks to the encouragement of Anana and Boris both, they had succeeded. Boris later that night dreamed of a creature that looked like what Arella had once appeared. They were entirely black with a gentle white light behind them and a chest filled with eyes. Boris shocked by the sight used a fire attack on the thing and it ignited. The dream ended shortly after with Boris barely able to comprehend what happened. He later saw the creature again while digging out Celesteela’s arm. His reaction caused the ground to collapse and Boris’ team fell into the newly emerged Cidic Falls dungeon.

Later everyone apparently had the same dream where the Aromatise creature repeated a phrase they’ve heard somewhere else before. They also saw visions of several Pokémon they knew and several Pokémon they didn’t. Soon in front of everyone there stood evolved powerful versions of themselves. Arella appeared in the dream like a glowing beacon. The Aromatise then stood behind her and begged to everyone experiencing the dream to let it out of this echo.

They would not see this vision again in their dreams but instead within a physical place. It appeared within a weird Shimmering Void alongside many eye creatures. It was incredible distraught and was screaming a familiar phrase once again. The players could not get close without risking their lives so they fled the dungeon.
