swap fearow with sandshrew
Returning to the small house in Ecruteak city once again, Alex this time had yet another pokemon for its hidden ability to be awakened from deep inside its dream. This time, was a Sandshrew that he had gotten from the Goldenrod Game Corner some time ago. He did trained with the Sandshrew a bit when he started out his journey, however, as time progressed, Alex remained align to his favorites, the grass and bug type Pokemon.
Knocking on the door of the mystic once again, he arrived with a new Pokemon to show the mystic. This Pokemon was quite smaller in size compared to the Fearow he came with last time, and he remembered how cute the Sandshrew was. He found a chair to sit on as he watched the mystic did something to put the ground type to sleep;

"Fufufu, you've gotten quite the taste for this, haven't you?" Meg remarked as Alex returned once more to her humble abode. She frowned ever so slightly, wondering just how much of her time had been taken up by this one trainer alone. Still, a deal was a deal, and the medium was quite ready to proceed with the usual ritual. "Well, there's no point in wasting time with idle chat now; you know what happens now after all." She beckoned toward Alex's Sandshrew as he entered. The little mouse looked back at its trainer to confirm his intentions before toddling over to the spiritualist. Once Duerks had reached the middle of the room, Meg began to chant in the same manner as before, using words that sounded as far from English as one could get. The room filled with a purple gas again, smothering the Sandshrew completely. Duerks slowly closed his eyes as he began to drift off to sleep, falling unceremoniously to the floor. When Duerks regained "consciousness", he found himself in a rather empty void; featureless but for a grey floor beneath him. Opposite him, a small mole-like creature sharpened its claws. It looked like it was up for a fight, and Duerks wouldn't be able to see an escape route here. The match was on, whether he liked it or not.
 A Drilbur (Level 16) has appeared in the Dream World! As usual, items are unusable because not real life.

When the Sandshrew woke up in his dream, he found that he was in a different place than the small hut that he was in. In the opposite of him was a Drilbur. My, another ground type with a taste of digging holes. He shook his head and was wondering what to do. He wasn't quite a strong Pokemon yet, so he didn't quite have a lot of arsenal in him. And this was a strange dream that Alex wasn't with him!
He panicked as the Drilbur began to move, and then let poison from his body system stained the tip of his claws a different color. Hoping that the opportunity was close enough, he struck his claws at the opponent Drilbur hoping that this was the right thing to do. After all, he was still a young Pokemon.

The drab landscape was quite the contrast to the two combatants. Sandshrew's bright yellow glowing off of the nondescript floor and Drilbur's shining talons causing glints. Despite its metallic appearance though the ground was rather soft. A familiar granular texture. It wasn't enough to quell Duerks' discomfort with the strange situation but it was perhaps this uncertainty and fright that brought something forth in the dream to help protect him. As the Drilbur started to move the landscape erupted around them into a violent sand storm. The area lit up in earthy hues, enveloping the startled Sandshrew as well as his enemy. While the new development was certainly a boon for Duerks it also held a certain bonus to Drilbur as well. The opposing ground type picked up speed, big long toes sliding through the sandy ground like an ice skater. As the long clawed pokémon came within melee range the sand swept up even more around Duerks, a veil of yellow and brown, but it wasn't enough to completely conceal the sandshrew's position. With a bright metallic sheen a pair of claws raked down upon Duerks. The sandshrew squeaked its displeasure and lashed out with its own pair of pokers. Laced with poison the young pokémon struck true, though they barely got through Drilbur's tough hide it was still enough to let the trickle of poison through. However, it wasn't quite enough for it to hold. Battle

The feeling the pain of the opponent's Metal Claw was quite real even in his dream, and it made Duerks almost flinched a little. Seeing that his poison attack was practically not lucky enough to jab through the tough hide of the opponent to induce poison, the ground type decided to switch strategy this time. Braving through the sandstorm, he dashed on his feet and got close to the tartar furred Pokemon. He then leaped and raised his claws for a Fury Cutter. If chemical attack wasn't working, that he'll have to try to put some more heat into his claws.

Drilbur flexed its big long claws, the noise more noticeable through the haze of sand than the actual sight. A shiver rand down Duerks spine but he shook it off, taking a deep breath and getting a focus. Poison wasn't going to do the trick against this opponent so he had to change tactics. With the sandstorm whipping around them it was a little easier for the sand mouse to slip around without being totally noticed so he just had to try and use that to his advantage. Unfortunately the scissor hands pokémon was still rather quick. While Drilbur may not be able to keep track of the sandshrew 100% of the time it covered so much distance so swiftly that almost didn't matter. Its claws were primed, brightening in that same way as it came closer; sweeping. It was nearly by accident that Duerks was discovered maneuvering through the sand. A metal claw came slicing down a second time, but the yellow mouse was ready to retaliate. The sandshrew arranged his own little claws to bring down a great hit on his tougher, faster, opponent. Drilbur reeled back, a bit surprised by the strength of the attack compared to that last little poke Duerks did, but the damage just seemed to strengthen its resolve to win. Battle

Duerks was struggling in this strange dream with the Drilbur. It felt like it had been going for years (like five to six years to be exact due to writer's strike). The opponent wasn't an easy one with its tough claws and rough hides. The two were now fighting with the strength of their claws and their wits: whoever was the sharpest tool would be deemed the victor of the sandy and dusty shed.
The Sandshrew didn't have much of an option for attacks, but Fury Cutter was his best bet. Trying to be still and blend in the dreamy sandstorm, the ground type waited until the Drilbur got close to strike again. Supposedly, his claws would strengthen after striking consecutively again. He thought about if he should stay still and let the sandy air do the camouflage, or lay still like the ground, or curled into a ball. However, he was determined to strike again to make that decision for now, and chose standing stance as his camouflage.

if you need me to swap a pokemon to party then just swap frosmoth just for this one, lol ty

The strange dreamlike state that held the small shrew captive carried with it fantastical imaginations. Sand raged around them, billowing up into a powerful storm that screamed and slammed at both opponents mercilessly, though neither seemed to bat an eye at its touch. Strange sandy pieces spiraled in the air, with some having tiny wings on their backs to glide up higher and even seemed to laugh whenever one glanced their way. The ground underfoot was soft like quicksand, and yet so firm that you didn’t sink down into its depths. Drilbur stared at its opponent through sharp eyes. What was going on behind that strange mole’s expression was hard to tell. Focused and determined, it neither smiles nor frowned. Brows were knitted tightly together as though Drilbur have a unibrow stretched across its face to hover over both of its eyes. It scratched at the ground with its long nails, sending sparkling sands that floated lazily up into the air to swim around them like glitter floating on an open breeze. Then it reared up and clashed both of its claws against each other, sharpening them together so that it could make its scythe-like claws even sharper for the attacks planned ahead. Duerks wasted no given opportunity. He moved through the sands, trying to camouflage with them in preparation of Drilbur’s next attack. When it didn’t come, Duerks rushed at his opponent veiled by the sandstorm that spiraled around him and cloaked him from the dreamlike world’s prying eyes. He slashed into Drilbur with his sharp claws, whose tenacity and strength seemed to intensify as the battle raged on. Large claw marks dug into Drilbur’s sides, though where crimson might have bubbled up to the surface in the real world only trickles of sand leaked out from the wounds in the dreamworld. Drilbur grunted and stared at the newly made cuts as if trying to come to grips with what happened. Wild Encounter

The dream seemed to have entered its rapid eyes movement phase, where it would be very vivid for Duerks to remember if he were to wake up soon. He was both aware that he was dreaming, but yet this felt so surreal. He distanced himself quickly after landing that last attack, and saw that the Drilbur was still standing. Duerks tried to shake his head, but more so the dream version he saw himself shook the head. He needed to focus just a few more rounds, and then this battle should be over.
The opponent didn't directly attack him, but it did something as if preparing for its next move. The Drilbur clang its claws, which Duerks interpreted it as intimdation, although it looked a little glossier. He wasn't sure at first, but decided to went straight for another Fury Cutter. Rolling around in the sand simulation this time, the Sandshrew blended with the ongoing sandstorm as he prepared to strike the Drilbur. When he felt he would be able to sneak up again or land a direct hit on the Drilbur, he would uncurl himself and swipe the opponent with his sharp claws.

Duerks rapid eye movement dreamlike state would only seem to get stranger as the battle raged on. Strange pink fuzzy beasts with singular large eyes that took up over ninety percent of their bodies fluttered overhead. They chattered in incoherent syllables and gestured to the two Pokemon who seemed locked in a battle with each other and giggled as the combatants rushed after each other through the raging storms that spiraled around them. The sandstorm howled as though it were a thousand wolves calling out for the moon to make it appearance in the skies, but the skies poured strange orange and yellow liquids that burned everything but Duerks and the Drilbur. Drilbur kicked off from the ground and rushed after his opponent in hot pursuit of Duerks. It would pounce on its opponents as its sharp claws glistened and shimmered in the strange light of the dreamworld. As Drilbur tore and dug at Duerks’ flesh, it could feel its aggressive nature kick into overdrive. It needed to take this imposter out of this dream and control the nightmare for itself alone! One of the hits managed to gorge Duerks in the softest spot on his stomach. When Duerks whipped around and kicked his opponent off only to slash into Dilbur’s soft stomach, the battle would conclude. “Oh? Looks like Duerks should wake up soon.” Meg muttered curiously as she watched the small creature struggling in its sleep. “You should be pleasantly surprised what Duerks keeps from his dreams.” Inside the dream, the sands would die out as Drilbur melted into the sands themselves. Its body faded into the sands, transforming into thousands of smaller particles that looked nothing like its original forms. The rush of the fight, rush of the sands that howled around it, would dissipate from its body and cling onto Duerks instead, forever transforming Duerks so that he no longer had a veil in the midst of the storms.

Duerks flinched from the fury swipes by the Drilbur, but he wasn't sure if that was his sleepy fogged up imagination in his sleep or physically in the real world. He wouldn't know, as even if Alex saw it, he thought it was just the cute Pokemon acting adorable. When the Drilbur was concluded by the last Fury Cutter, the false Drilbur melted into the sand, as everything slowly faded to black, like a normal sleep would.
Then, as if he was sleeping enough that his body felt enough energy was replenished, the ground type Pokemon woke up, albeit sluggishly. He rolled on his belly, then on his back, a few times, until Alex got up and stopped it. He congratulated Duerks for going such strange dream to awaken his inner power, and returned the Pokemon. Then, the trainer thanked the hypnotist, and left for the Pokemon Center to heal up. Now, what to do next?
[F] please lock. thanks
