PMD: The Sunrise
(Chapter 2)
Grovyle's POV:
There was huge warmth in the air. Anyone felt it on the shoulders or the spine. However, it was the first time that I saw the sunrise in his life. Colors of the entire landscape embodied the feeling of joy and light. Snow descended on the glacial place.
As the run rose, Grovyle understood it in kind from Celebi. This was their final encounter together. Unlike anyone did knew, Grovyle understood the mind of people—more than they could tell. He looked at Celebi. The reflection of the colors in her eyes. The falling leaves. The whistling wind. The snow peak hill. The intricacies of the oceanic water. He knew she loved it
Celebi got closer to him. Her palm touched his. All at once, the icy surface embodied coldness and wanting her warmth. She was the first to speak up. "We did it! It's over. Our world is finally over…"
He admitted. "Yes, we disappear as well. I'll miss you, Celebi. I'll miss all of you, Dusknoir, our partner and his best friend from the past. I hope we can see each other in another life."
"What are you saying? We're here together. When we disappear, it'll be the end of our future in this world. What if we don't see each other?" Celebi grabbed his palm. She was so assertive when it came to the emotional department.
"We always knew it since the beginning, Celebi. No matter what solution we had after defeating Primal Dialga, every Pokémon from this combat disappeared into thin air." He whipped his sweaty eyes.
"But you can't leave. Not without this. Look into my eyes. Believe me, we can fix this together. We can make time stop and have everyone back. We can live in the future…"
"We can't, Celebi. There was no solution no matter what." He raised his voice. "Don't you see? Everyone-you-won't make it in time."
But he was afraid of the future, not her or the disappearing. He was afraid that her hopes would raise up and she would die thinking that there was slight hope that they could live together. It was only false promises and misleading her till the very end.
"Grovyle, thanks for a brighter world. Can we just enjoy this moment before the sunrise?" Celebi asked.
He could only nod in response. He could not let her hopes up. "All right, let's enjoy it together." He knew that she wanted affection. It was the right moment at the wrong time. The sunlight. The snow. The ice. They were all hints to go for it. Make the first move and be a man about it. Therefore, he hugged her.
He noticed the glowing spots. They were fading away, goners soon.
Caleb then told him, "I'm glad that I shined through this journey. I'm glad that I finally solved the planet paralysis. I got to see the sunrise with you and everybody else."
"I'm glad, too." He smiled while she was in his arms.
At the end moment, he knew that he shined through his life. Someday, he would eventually fade away, although not soon as they planned. If he had not done anything, they would all have been crushed and died in history. Therefore, he saved her and everyone else in sacrifice of all of the others.
He thought. I will be a hero someday in history through legends and oral stories.
Finally, the sunrise shined. They waited to live in the afterlife of the world, to meet Celebi somewhere up in the clouds where all their friends and everyone else was. In their case, he was afraid that history would not erase it.
He had failed his mission.
