Prologue:

I sink to my knees. How did I come this far, only to lose everything I've gained? How did I come this far, only to send the last shot at saving his life into the abyss?

I take a deep breath. Josh, I hope you can forgive me. It turns out that the chosen ones of Lugia and Ho-Oh were not meant to be together at all. Not as friends, or more than that. We're not even meant to even be alive together.

Even with the power of the legendaries at my side, I couldn't succeed. I've failed them. I've failed my friends. My family. The world.

Myself.

But even though I lost this battle, I've won many others. That will be what I shall think about as I prepare to die at the hands of the man that I despise through the deepest parts of my soul.

My aura will be forcibly taken from me. I will be dead in a matter of minutes. My Pokémon will learn to live on without me, adapt to their new circumstances and possibly their new trainers. My eyes tear up as I think of my beloved team separating forever.

This is the end of everything I know and love. I can hear orders being shouted in the background, through the door that I could've escaped through if I had just a few more precious seconds.

But I've learned that time tends to run out in the most peculiar of places.

So I take another deep breath and close my eyes, waiting for the pain that is to come...
