Ether

I was surrounded by an inky blackness. 

For a moment I thought I may have ended up back in the chasm, but this darkness was not quite the same as that void. It was lighter somehow, more normal. And yet, I couldn't see anything around me. 

<Ah, I might be able to help with that,> The voice of BB rang out all around me. 

The world flickered, similar to the holo grid that had powered the training room and the battle arena for the tournament back on Prespian City. 

When the flickering stopped, I was surprised to be standing in the centre of my bedroom back on Earth. 

Every detail was correct, ranging from the dinky desk in the corner with the aging PC that I used to watch anime and read novels on, to the uncomfortable single bed that was pushed up next to it. There weren't any cupboards for storage space, all I had was a dresser that hemmed in the other side of my bed.
