	After Stephen and Luna had left Nova's dreams, the the scene in the Gardevoir's mind changed completely. Gone was the dark red hue of Corruption, as was the paranoia the vile draconequus had wrought in her mind. She was now in control; she couldn't wake up, but was consciously making decisions and interacting with her dream. Nova took a deep breath, and cast the move, Calm Mind. In battles, this would be used to strengthen the focus of her Psychic attacks, along with help her withstand other Special attacks.

This Calm Mind, instead, did exactly what the name described. Within moments, there was complete silence, and Nova found a point of tranquility in the nothingness that was her dream. Taking another deep breath, she looked up, and saw the Moon up above her, now casting its natural light upon where she stood. There was something off about this moon, though, Nova noticed. It must have been Nova's imagination, as she hadn't made it so, but the moon seemed to have a pinkish hue. 

She payed this no mind, closed her eyes and meditated. At her will, flowers petals and leaves were summoned out of air and swirled around as if a breeze was carrying them. Nova opened her eyes to watch them fly around, a small smile on her face, until the small items ceased in momentum and froze in place. The light surrounding the items began to grow as Nova's curiosity grew. Then the light became to bright, and Nova began to get blinded by the increasing brightness. She raised her hands to block her eyes, but the light decreased in intensity. She raised her hands again to the floating items and the light began to grow again. Nova felt a new sensation within her, as if she was holding and controlling this light. The floating petals and leaves began to disappear until only the light remained. It was very similar to Flash, one of Nova's first moves. Except it felt more like a Beam type attack.

Wherever she turned and faced, the pinkish-white light was in front of her. Nova took the light in her hand and extended it. The light grew in intensity very quickly, and exploded in the area in front of her. The flash of light had flashed out in a fan pattern, and where the flash had exploded, the darkness had dissipated and left nothing but white space. Nova looked to her hands, where the light still remained and glowed soft pink.

Nova turned, looking into the darkness, and raised her hands to it. In a matter of moments, all of the darkness in quite a large radius was turned to pure, white space. However, it wasn't long until the darkness consumed the light. Now Nova stood in darkness. A few feet away, a single ray of light shone through; it was the moon! Nova walked over, her hands still aglow from the previous move. She raised her hands to the pinkish light of the moon, and felt them grow heavy as a large ball of pinkish-white light, much akin to the wide beam move before, and once it stop growing to a considerable size, Nova found that she could move it. It felt like a Shadow Ball. And as such, she decided to launch it at a short distance at a nearby spot. In seconds the whole area was bathed in a bright light and a gigantic area around her, much bigger than the previous move, was made to white space. Nova smirked. Now I have something to work on until Stephen returns. She thought, looking at her glowing hands as they alternated from her normal Psychic blue aura to the new pink aura. It seems I still have a lot to learn.
