To most, it would seem like any other ordinary day in the Hoenn region; however, that was not the case with me. Today, I have the most grave of decisions to make.
Today, I get to choose the path that will lead me to my ultimate destiny. The fate of my friends and of my own life's course will depend upon this one tiny choice I choose.
My mind is inner turmoil. No one can comprehend my inner wars. I am, however, tiring of these infinite mind battles. So, by the time the clock strikes midnight, I will force myself to choose which journey seems best.
The decision to stay or go. A simple question at its core, but I've come to learn that things are not always what they seem. Do I stay with the beautiful woman whom I sense is becoming the love of my life, and stay active within the Hoenn league? Or, do I leave her, to seek out the desires of my soul and gain the knowledge to become a better man, son, and trainer?
Either path, could lead to destroyed relationships with those I care about most; yet, either could also cause that inner flame within to be kindled and begin another amazingly stunning chapter within my life. But can one truly thrive on great knowledge alone? I have already acquired a sort of greatness that aspires those of my peers and acquaintances. I have achieved heights that many wish to reach, but only a few are able to overcome the obstacles blocking the path on the way to reach such power.
And to top it all, I never asked for this position of power. I never wanted such frivolous things. Nevertheless, it can hardly be avoided when you are the prime heir to a corporation of the likes of Devon.
I never wanted to bear all the burdens which accompany the champion's throne. Which is why I ask, if rebelling against the expectations the world puts upon us champions is the reason why I began to take darling May under my wing. I watched her become the strikingly amazing trainer that she is today. And somewhere along all those observations, I caught myself falling for her strong soul.
The poor girl, has had to help clean up the mess I have caused. Yet, through it all she keeps her head level. I worry greatly for her. She has seen too much heartache and affliction for one so young. I desire to protect her from any more such storms to come. However, since I failed her from the beginning, I wonder if I am a man who is great enough to shield her from any more of life's adversity.
Which brings the question if I should soul search a while to better myself for the sake of her. However, dearest May, has become attached towards me. Her visits are becoming more frequent these days and I do not desire to crush her heart by suddenly leaving.
Stay or go? That is for sure a million dollar question for me at this moment. A few hours until midnight remain. I believe I shall venture to Granite Cave to gain a new perspective and ponder my mind's workings a while.
