"What do you think, Miraidon? This check out?" A figure stepped away from the computer screen, allowing a purple Pokemon to sniff and examine it. Miraidon growled in approval.

"Perfect." The figure hit Create. "Now for my first video. Hm...how about a nice little techno song, to kickstart my career? Just need to pick the perfect one from my files...." A blue-ish display appeared in front of the figure. It was being displayed from his eyes. The display swept to and fro.

"No...nope....nuh-uh, definitely not that...ah, here we go!" He picked out a song called Space Battle. "Go, my child." He uploaded the song, and hit Publish.

"And now, we wait. For recognition." The figure said. "No longer will I stand by in the shadows, always second fiddle. I will be seen, be heard, be counted." The voice began to take on another characteristic, like two people were talking. The figure cut himself off. "...Stay in your lane, Shadow."

"Oh, but you can't stop me." The figure spoke to himself. It was sadistic-sounding. "No one will recognize a psychopathic schizophrenic. Isn't that what your family called you?"

"Leave them out of it. They're dead, I killed them. No use dragging them back." 

Shadow didn't respond. 

"Okay. Now that that's out of the way, it's time to wait. Wanna ride, Miraidon?" Miraidon leapt up in joy, and bounded out. The figure chuckled, and followed him. His surroundings melted into a forest.

The Slumbering Weald.

"Alright, alright. We can go to Wedgehurst tonight. Don't shake your tail off."

Those words were puzzling Arkham Francis. He was the head tech leader of the United Regions, the world organization responsible for everything public that happens. Political, financial, pop culture, you name it. They were the main dog for it.

The financial backer of each region's Pokemon League. The main sponsor of the World Coronation Series. They were supposed to know everything.

They helped game developers publish their creations, writers get their books out in the world, musical artists get popularity. Chloe Cerise had went from the daughter of a relatively unknown Pokemon Professor to practically the biggest music name in the world with their help.

So who was this guy? Why hadn't Arkham ever heard of this...Tonal Variety?

On paper, the problem wasn't that big. So a nobody uploaded to PokeTube. Big deal. But Arkham coudn't trace the account to a computer. Maybe it was a bot. But a bot couldn't have made a song that good; it had to have come from somebody, right?

Except that the song hadn't previously existed. Tonal Variety had just..popped out of thin air, dropped what the kids call a banger, refused to elaborate, and faded back into the shadows.

"It's been nearly a day."

Arkham spun around in his chair. He was sitting in a quaint little cafe in the Kanto region, owned by notable chef Brock. And speak of the devil, there he was. "5 minutes 'til closing time," he said, then bustled off into the kitchen.

Arkham quickly packed up his laptop, left a bit of money, hurriedly took a bite of his unfinished muffin, then headed out. Maybe the UR headquarters would know. It's nearly been a day since the upload, after all.

"Okay, okay, I got you the PokePuffs! You can put me down now!" The figure was being thrown up and down by Miraidon, who suddenly stopped. The figure fell down with a loud thud. 'Ugh." He threw the bag in the corner of the room, where Miraidon remained for the night.

"Time to check on the progress." He booted up his computer and pulled up the video. 

"Holy shit. 1 million views already?" Space Battle was doing very well. He decided to check the comments.

PiplupFangirl: how is this so good???? i can't imagine all the worrying you must have spent working on this!

ChampionTimes: Wow! Did you go to space to record this? ....I'll see myself out

The figure laughed. He had a good feeling he knew who those were. He scrolled past another comment, which said that he was right up there with the likes of The Weeknd and Chloe Cerise.

"Heh. I'm nowhere near that good. But might as well respond to some comments."

Rosa&Hilda: What equipment did you use? This is TOO GOOD!!

TonalVariety: The power of determination :)

AK-Pika: Looks like we got a contender for Musical Master! Pokemon Master's taken though :)

TonalVariety: wouldn't have it any other way lol

ReadySetGoh: Any other masterpieces coming? I wanna listen to 'em ALL!

TonalVariety: Coming in hot!

The figure sighed. What song should he upload next? Shadow began to speak. "Fake appreciation, Y/N L/N. Don't inflate your ego."

"It's not inflating my ego if I appreciate accolades, fake or not." Y/N started looking through his files. "How about Paradox before a good night's sleep?"

Video: Paradox

Description: Second video done! Good night, y'all!

Status: Published

Y/N tucked himslef into bed without changing. He started singing a work-in-progress song.

"I'm not doing anything, nothing at all."

Dreamland awaits.
