Justa random oneshot with my Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Characters: Ziona the Piplup and Agrethul (I think that's how you spell it) the Riolu. Set after the Primal Dialga bit, but before the Darkrai bit. Gijinkas (Again. Seriously, I just like to write with Gijinkas. So, deal with it, fools!) This'll probably be real bad...so yeah!

Let the story begin!

Never Leave Again...

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

The waves crashed against Sharpedo Bluff, drenching the lower down rocks with salty sea water. A beautiful sunrise blessed the further day with promises of lovely weather and great exploration!

Agrethul smiled warmly as the sunrays hit his face, sending a lovely warmth throughout his body. The sky was cloudless, and the Riolu Gijinka was feeling on top of the world.

'And, just imagine if we had failed with the Time Gears and had never reached Temporal Tower! Gosh! This whole world would've only had so many sunrises left!'

His mind used to shy away from that track of thought, because that always reminded him of...

'But...Ziona left!'

Those months were the worst in his life. Living normally without his companion and best friend had changed him: he was more emotional and always panicked whenever she was out of his sight for more than an hour. He smiled; although this overprotection irked his female partner, he still did it, and anyone who dared to even think about attacking her critically usually ended up on the ground. Unconscious.

One of their rare fights sprang to mind...

"Look, I can look after myself, Agrethul!"

The Piplup Gijinka payed no attention to the growing mass of Pokémon; in the middle of Quicksand Cave, with all sand and sandstorms and Sandslash and everything, one would think that it would be the last place to host a full blown argument.

This did not occur to Ziona.

"Well, that Tyranitar was about to use Dar-"

"And I was almost going TO USE HYDRO PUMP!"

"Oh..."

A Sandslash cocked its head to the side, a huge question mark over its head.

"Yes! And now...Ugh! Never mind! Moving on...why do you do this! I'm on level 50, I defeated Dialga, I came back from nothingness and you want to protect me?"

A long silence followed...

"Yes."

"What?" Brief puzzlement crossed Ziona's face.

"Yes, I do, Ziona. Heck, yeah you did do all that stuff...but, I will never stop!"

"And why is this?" Ziona was now holding an Escape Orb; Agrethul failed to notice this.

"...Because, I..."

A silver glow surrounded them both as the Escape Orb worked its magic. Agrethul suddenly reached out and pulled the startled Gijinka into a crushing embrace. He sobbed,

"...Never leave again! Please!"

Agrethul smiled again.

"Agrethul?"

He turned as Ziona stepped out into the new dawn light, sleepily walking up and sitting next to him.

"Yes?"

'What are you doing up so early?"

"Watching the dawn...the dawn that we saved."

"Ah."

The continued to watch the yellow sun creep up; the Piplup Gijinka rested against her male partner and sighed as he wrapped his arm around her. A few early morning Starly flew across the sky, headed towards Mount Bristle, it seemed.

"Agrethul?"

For the second time that morning, he responded with a simple "Yes?"

"...In answer to your question..."

The Riolu Gijinka frowned in confusion; what question was this?

"Yeah...?' he ventured. Ziona turned to face him, and once again he lost himself in her sparkling hazel eyes.

"...I will never leave you, my dear Agrethul. I promise."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXXO

Well, like? Hate?

It's a bit rush, since I had to finish this in like 15 mins!

Sorry!
