Momoyo's PV

000

My master always told me about his dream of becoming the best trainer. I grew with him for 14 years and I know he is capable of everything. Every fight, every day we shared brought me to understand him better. And I did.

This morning we started our journey through the Unova region towards our first Gym badge. Or so we thought, those damn roads are longer than we expected. Johnny decided we should camp for the day and asked if Peluso could ignite a campfire while he cooked something to eat.

Johnny was thoughtful enough to pack more than one tent, so all his team could get a peaceful rest while he stood guard. Sometimes Shadow or Ddraig would volunteer to guard the camp. Usually they did if they saw Johnny too tired. Of course, I stayed with him almost all the times he had to watch over us.

I suppose I fell asleep more times than him while we watched over. But, every time I woke up, I found that he covered me with a blanket and hugged me, while his eyes looked vigilantly to the surroundings. I'm afraid to say that I see Johnny more as a man rather than as a master…

It was worse after that battle against that trainer. Ugh! I was so angry when she called my name so despiteful. I wanted to fight her so much that something inside me could predict what Johnny was thinking. We were breathing in synch and I felt his wishes sync with mine.

I was so surprised when I Mega Evolved. I thought that kind of thing was a myth! However, I did transform and defeated that Latios. I must say, my legs look pretty with that dark gown I got in that evolution. But, that power got me so tired that I just remember waking up in Johnny's bed.

I walked towards him and smooched his forehead before he opened his eyes and smiled me. That face illuminated my day… before he questioned the fact I have, err… womanly parts. I just wanted to check myself for any damage, but he is a little pervert. Anyway, my heart raced a bit because of that, but I thought nothing of that.

Our travels around the Unova region were fun, because Johnny let me out of my Pokéball all time. This caught many eyes as we traveled; not many trainers let their Pokémon out, as they feared the Hunters would hunt them down or worse. Of course, we avoided isolated places and only traveled along the paths.

The first stop we did in our journey was in Santalune City, where the first Gym was located. After all, we had to restock our items before continuing with our quest. It was the place where Professor Sycamore lived and where he conducted his studies. He and Professor Juniper researched about the side effects Yveltal caused when Lysandre woke it up.

"So, how do you like this place, Momo? Nice first stop in our journey, don't you think?" Johnny said.

-Of course! I wanted to explore the world so much that I hoped we could set to explore it since I was a Kirlia! Nevertheless, I'm craving for some food!- I said, smirking while he patted my head.

"Yeah, I know the feeling. We can go to a restaurant that allows Pokémon and trainers to eat together. After that we can try to beat the Gym leader." He said, pinpointing the place with his fingers.

-And what kind of Pokémon the Gym leader use?- I asked, curious while we walked towards the restaurant.

"I think she or he uses bug type. I could be wrong. But this guide says that it's common for this Gym to use that kind of Pokémon." Johnny answered after we sat down on the table and he unleashed the rest of the team.

-I hate bugs! Johnny, I don't want to fight with bugs!- I said, pouting a little while Johnny smirked and pinched my cheeks.

"Oh, don't be like that Momo. You can-…" Johnny started to say before a man stood beside him.

"I see the rumors are true. The nephew of Yveltal's guardian is here!" He said.

"Ah… yes, I suppose. But how do you know about me?" Johnny asked, wary of the intentions of the man. The team and I stood at the ready to help him if trouble started.

"Oh, worry not young man! My name is Professor Sycamore and I know about him because he was one of the chosen five. I guess you heard the legends, but the truth is that each one of them set on their own paths. It pains me to know that the bearer of the Mega Ring died, but I see his wishes being carried by you." He said.

Johnny bore a sad smiled as he introduced himself. Then he introduced us to him. The professor gave him a Pokédex as a gift and wished him luck on the path he chose. Johnny just sniffed and nodded while the Professor walked out.

-Are you all right, Johnny? - I asked.

"Yeah. Thanks Momo. It's just that I miss him…" my master said.

That night we decided to stay in a hotel that allowed Pokémon to stay with their trainers. As we didn't have enough money to rent a bigger room, we had to make use of the limited space. I didn't want to look like I wanted to take advantage of Johnny, but I asked if I could stay with him. And he agreed.

I didn't sleep at all. I was so nervous that I watched him sleep all night. I even got to observe as his "friend" got active all of a sudden. Even if he was an adult or something like that, he had the same urges like all. I giggled to myself and continued to watch him until the alarm clock woke all of us.

After a quick breakfast, Johnny decided it was time to challenge the Gym Leader, which, to my surprise, was a woman. Her name was Viola and she knew about Johnny and his relationship with one of the five chosen.

"Decades ago, your uncle came here and defied me. I thought nothing of him because of his age. He beat me fair and square. I expect the same level of strength from you, young man. Now, come at me with all your force!" she said as the Gym changed forms into battle mode.

Viola let out her Ariados. A huge I must say. I started to tremble, but Johnny patted my head and let out Ddraig. He knew that bug is weak against fire and flying attack types. And since the gym was bug type, the battles against Viola lasted at most two minutes, leaving the Gym leader speechless.

"I see you possess the same inner strength your uncle had! I'm surprised to see a trainer this powerful after all these years without any worthy opponent. You earned this badge John," he said.

Johnny took the badge in his hands and pumped his arm in victory. He even hugged Ddraig… before the dragon hugged him back, almost breaking his back. All of us laughed while he rubbed his back and smiled. Even Viola smirked with our antics and wished us luck with the rest of the badges.

After coming out of the Gym, we found Professor Sycamore waiting for us. Johnny and he spoke for a while after the Professor presented him with a bicycle, so that our travels were filled with fun memories. After that, he fixed her gaze on me for a minute before turning his head towards Johnny.

"That is a wonderful Gardevoir, John. I must say I'm impressed you have the same Pokémon your uncle had when he finished his journey years ago." He said with a big smile.

Johnny explained about how we met. At first the Professor couldn't believe we had that much of a bond, but after hearing that I could speak with him through his mind he smiled and took out something from his pocket.

"What is this?" Johnny asked.

"This is something to Momoyo. A gift." The Professor said.

-What kind of gift, Professor?- I asked him, causing him surprise.

The Professor opened a little box and took out a ribbon of it. He gave it to Johnny and said that those were the ribbons used to mark a Pokémon as "cute". Johnny smiled and put it on my head.

-How do I look?- I asked. I could feel my face burning up with shame.

"You look pretty Momo. You are truly a cute one!" Johnny said, patting me.

The Professor laughed and told us that route 9 was the fastest way to reach Cyllage City, so we could challenge the next Gym and obtain the next badge. He warned us, though. He said we mustn't linger too long in the cave near that route, because strange sightings were reported over that place.

I didn't like the sound of that. I dislike bugs and ghosts, and ghost bugs! I also knew Johnny would like to explore that place. Oh well, that's par for the course I guess. We nodded in understanding and decided to set off towards route 9.

000

We walked a couple of hours after leaving Santalune City. The travel was shorter than we expected because we rode in the bicycle! Johnny put me behind him so I could enjoy the breeze. Some turns and higher places made me hold him tighter by the waist, but I enjoyed every moment… until we arrived to the Glittering Cave.

Johnny let out sighs of amusement as he inspected the cavern entryway. I was nervous and froze in place. My body just reacted when Johnny called for me to enter with him. The place was humid and so dark I couldn't see my nose, if I had one.

I knew it was a bad idea coming here because, once we were deep enough, I started to hear weird noises and voices calling to us. I shrieked and cringed to Johnny as hard as I could, embracing him so I could silence those voices.

"Err… Momo? Don't you think you are a 'bit' too close? Just saying, but I can't breathe if you keep hugging so hard!" Johnny said.

-N—No! You are the one who's too close! I don't have fear! I-I just like to feel tall! That's all!- I said, trying to sound convincing.

Johnny locked eyes with me. He must have felt my fear because I was trembling so much. He, someway, took me off his back and carried me in his arms. I was confused, because I never thought about him lifting me so easily from the ground.

-Why?-

"I won't let anyone touch you, Momo. I will protect you until we leave this place!" he said patting my head.

I didn't know how to answer. I must have blushed so hard that I lowered my gaze. I didn't care about the voices anymore, or about the darkness. I was only concerned about how heavy I was for him to carry me all the way towards the exit of the cave.

Shadow and Peluso helped us to get through the cave. They scared any wild Pokémon trying to ambush us and they lightened the path as we walked across the dark corridors.

When we exited the cave it was night already, so Johnny decided to call it a day and prepared to make a camp. He put me a blanket while he cooked something. I felt much better, but my heart didn't stop beating fast.

-What is happening to me…? Am I conscious of him!? B-But he… he is a human! I-I can… well, there might be, but… I don't know… - I thought to myself. My head is a mess right now.

"Hey Momo, are you all right?" Johnny asked.

I broke my train of thought and fixed my gaze towards him. –I-It's nothing Johnny. I'm just thinking in our future battles. Don't mind me.- I said, trying to convince myself it was nothing at all.

Johnny smiled and called the team over the campfire to eat something, before we called it a day. In any way, we were close to Cyllage City, and then we would face the second Gym leader. I was so excited!

That night Johnny asked me if we could train. I asked him why and he told me that the Mega Evolution was a powerful form, but if I didn't have training then I would faint every time I used it. He didn't wanted to see me suffering like that. And for a couple of hours I trained together with him.

It was said that if both the Pokémon and the trainer had their hearts fused into one, then they could master the Mega Evolution. Needless to say, I was nervous all the time because Johnny was next to me as we synchronized our tactics.

We ended staying up all night training and before we realized, morning arrived. Johnny and I collapsed from exhaustion and we decided to stay in town once we arrived. The team and I carried our master to town, while the curious eyes of people followed us as we went into the inn.

As we put Johnny on the bed, my comrades went outside to watch over him. "Momo…" Johnny said as I walked out the room. He was dreaming of me!

The next morning, he rose up from the bed full of energy. After eating, we set our way towards the Gym. When we entered, we saw a great cliff inside. What a pain that medal was going to be! And a pain it was, because we spent all morning trying to climb until Johnny said, "Screw this" and called Ddraig to carry us to where the Gym leader was.

The leader looked at us with a frown. "Hey, that's cheating!" he said.

Johnny shrugged his shoulders and said, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If you follow a path without thinking if you can get faster to your destination, you are doing something wrong!"

The leader shook his head. "Well, regardless of how you climbed my cliff, I must introduce myself and accept your challenge." He said, "Name's Grant and I challenge you to obtain the Cliff badge!"

"Err, right. I accept!" Johnny said before calling out Shadow.

"I see, you have such a rare Pokémon. Well, then I chose you Gigalith!" Grant yelled as a tall creature came out of his Pokéball.

Both Pokémon stared down as their trainers planned their attacks. Well, that's what it looked like to me. However, Grant called out first and casted Rock Slam to crush Shadow in one go. The thing was, he didn't expect Johnny didn't have to say anything to his Pokémon, because Shadow dodged and launched an Ice Beam to Gigalith.

The powerful Pokémon fell prey to that freezing attack. As Grant watched speechless the ending of the fight, he called out his Lycanroc to contest. Shadow put it to sleep and then he assaulted it with Dream Eater.

Johnny approached and ruffled Shadow's hair while Grant stood in awe at the conclusion of the battle. I couldn't help but smile at the end of the battle. Johnny didn't even change of Pokémon.

"I see your team is in perfect harmony with you. It pleases me to see such devotion to Pokémon these days. I congratulate you, young man, and present you with the Cliff badge. May your journey brings you fortune!" Grant said.

We thanked the leader and retreated the Gym. We had obtained the second badge in our journey and Johnny was too happy in that moment. He hugged me and then he called out all his Pokémon so we could celebrate together. I was so happy I could burst.

We decided we would stay that day in town and then we would march forward to Shalour City through route 12. It was exciting already, because in that city was the Tower of Mystery; house of the original guardians of the Mega Evolution.

As we decided to spend the night, Johnny decided to take a walk near the park. I followed him so he won't be alone. As we approached a pond, he sighed and admired the starry sky.

-That was a long sigh, Johnny. Something the matter?- I asked.

"It's nothing Momo. I'm just happy we are having a good progress in our journey. But tell me, are you okay?" he said.

I smiled, -I'm so happy for being able to travel with you! I never thought I would meet so many Pokémon during our travels!-

Johnny smiled and put his hand over mine. I froze in place, but he smiled to me and continued to watch the stars. I felt my heart race out of control and without thinking, I entwined my fingers with his. He blushed a little after I put my head on his shoulders, and he answered by resting his head with mine.

We enjoyed the rest of the night, just the two of us.

000

The morning after we set our course to Shalour City. I was curious about how the Tower of Mystery was and how the Gym Leader was since she was famous for being part of the clan that protected the secret behind the Mega Evolution.

When we arrived, we sadly saw the ruins of the tower. Standing just as a memento of an age long past. The townspeople looked us with distrust and any attempt to communicate with them ended with them ignoring us.

Finally, after long hours searching for someone to give us answers, we found a woman living alone in a house next to the ruined tower. She welcomed us with a smile while her Lucario brought us some tea.

"Thank you for giving us this warm welcome. I'm afraid the rest of the town wasn't so welcoming. Anyway, we appreciate what you did." Johnny said to our host.

The woman smiled and sipped some of her tea, "Think nothing of it. This town suffered long ago. After the Hunters formed and started with their massacres of innocent Pokémon, they lured people into believing Pokémon were evil as they burned the tower to the ground." She said, looking at her Lucario.

"B-But why!? Why people would want to hurt the Pokémon!?" he asked.

"It's much like the time one of those crazy teams declared war on Pokémon, just because they believe humans should be alone. But this time we were completely overwhelmed. I couldn't protect the tower… I failed my father…" she said, pain filling her voice.

"Protect the tower? That means…!" Johnny started to say.

"Yes, I'm Korrina. I was the last descendant of the clan who swore to protect the secrets of Mega Evolution. I know from the previous Gym leaders that you are the nephew of one of the chosen five, and that you have the Gardevoirite!" she said.

Johnny was confused by the name, but shook his head and answered, "Yes, he was my uncle. But I don't know how to use the Mega Stone yet!"

Korrina smiled and stood up. "If you want the badge from me, then you have to master that art. That power alone can make the bond between you and your Pokémon stronger. Come with me, please…" she said as she went outside the house. Johnny and I met eyes and shrugged our shoulders before following her.

The people had gathered around the town plaza, as if they were going to watch a spectacle. Instead of that, Korrina called out her Lucario and used the Mega Ring, summoning the powerful transformation upon Lucario and giving him a new form.

Mega Lucario appeared before us. Its aura looked as powerful as the one that enveloped Korrina. The Lucario stepped forth and approached Johnny. He then sniffed him and growled in happiness.

"What is it doing?" Johnny asked a little frightened because that Lucario looked too powerful to him.

Korrina smiled and nodded, "Lucario thinks your souls is in perfect synchrony with Momoyo's. I think you can do the Mega Evolution just perfectly." She said.

"Seriously!?"

-C'mon Johnny! Let's give it a try! Just join your mind with mine and let yourself go with the flow! - I said while holding the Mega Stone.

As Johnny closed his eyes, a source of power like nothing I felt before crossed my body as an energy ball enveloped me completely. My body changed as the energy went inside me. The change was complete as the voices in awe echoed.

"That's what I'm talking about! You mastered the Mega Evolution! I cannot congratulate you enough, Momoyo and Johnny. I will grant you the Rumble Badge for your excellent performance!" Korrina said.

As Johnny opened his eyes to take on my new form, the clapping from the people subsided as some men came forward, pointing their weapons to us. One of the approached alongside a vicious Absol, grinning like a maniac.

"Our scouts were right. Some fool is trying to achieve the status of Pokémon Master. And to our surprise, he has a rare Pokémon bitch to tame. Hahaha!" the hunter said.

Johnny frowned and stood in front of me and he stared down that hunter. He turned to give me a sideways look and nodded. I didn't understand what was happening so I just stood quiet while Johnny did his thing.

"I didn't know you clowns were able to come out of your hideout so freely. I owe you for what you did several years ago! You are a cancer to this land and I will seek the way to erase you!" Johnny said, annoyed.

The hunter laughed, "Oh boy, you think you are the first to ever say that to us? We have existed since the Ultra Beasts came to our land! We need to end the reign of the Pokémon, we need no one beside ourselves!" he said.

Johnny took out his Pokéballs and called out the rest of the team. Korrina as well stood in front and called out her Mega Lucario. The hunter pointed at them and his companions took out some firearms. The situation became tense as the Hunters threatened to kill everyone in sight.

I didn't know what to do. My master ordered Pikachu to fry them with a thunder, but the hunter's Absol ran faster than Pikachu and stabbed Johnny in the gut. The rest of the team hurled forward to attack the Hunters as they tried to repel them. I was astonished as I watched Johnny lying on the ground, bleeding.

-Johnny! Johnny! Don't… don't close your eyes! Please!- I said as the tears started to run down my face.

Johnny didn't say anything. He caressed my face as he closed his eyes. I couldn't contain my anger while the remaining Hunters started to approach Johnny's corpse. Within me, the power bestowed unto me by the Mega Evolution shone as from my fingertips I summoned a small black hole, absorbing the Hunters as they screamed for their lives as the power tore them apart.

I fell on my knees after all was over. My comrades circled the body of my master as Korrina and Nurse Joy tried to hold his life. I fell unconscious as the power from the Mega Evolution faded away.

I wished we never set out of the ranch.

000

I woke up feeling the gaze of someone. As I opened my eyes, I saw Nurse Joy looking at me with a smile. She patted my head as I realized I was on a bed, but I felt bad as I recalled the events of the day. Nurse Joy must have noticed my feeling as she took out something from her pouch.

"Momoyo. You are fine after resting today, so you can set on your journey after today. You don't have to worry about your master, because that Absol avoided contact with any vital organs. He just lost consciousness from the shock. You helped him stay alive, Momoyo. He was still bonded with you because you held your Mega Form long enough for us to stop the hemorrhage." The nurse said.

I couldn't believe it, but Nurse Joy pointed at the bed beside me. It was Johnny, and he was alive! He was breathing steadily as some nurse checked on his wound. I looked back at Nurse you and smiled at her.

-Thank you! Thank you! Johnny is… Johnny… - I said to the nurse as I stood from the bed and waited for Johnny to awake.

The team and I wanted patiently for a couple of days as his wounds healed. The nurses told us he would be able to continue with our journey because the Chanseys speeded the healing process.

And healed he was, because one day his eyes opened. I rushed to his side as he sat on the bed. Johnny smiled and ruffled my hair as he inspected the site where the Absol stabbed him.

-Johnny! You don't know how much we missed you! I thought I'd lost you! - I said all girly as I hugged Johnny.

"It's okay, Momo. Thank you for worrying so much. I swear I won't do this again. I will thank the rest of the team for supporting me in that fight… Thank you…" Johnny said as his arms circled my body and hugged me. I blushed and continued hugging him for a couple of minutes.

Before setting out, we reunited with Korrina who gave us the Rumble badge and congratulated us for forming a powerful bond. Johnny thanked her and we set out on our journey again. The people on the street greeted us as we passed, because we were no longer strangers to them.

We set forward route 12 towards Coumarine city. Along the way we encountered many trainers who wished to test their teams against Johnny. We fought valiantly in each and we enjoyed the path as we entered the city.

We knew the Gym Leader used plant type Pokémon, so it was a no brainer that Johnny would use Hachi or Peluso to fight against the leader. In fact, it was a quick match since Plant type Pokémon are weak against Fire, and before we noticed we had the Plant badge in our hands.

Victory after victory we forged our way towards our next destinations. Next, we visited Lumiose City and went inside the Prism Tower, as the next Gym Leader was inside. We defied the leader, Clemont, as he used Electric type Pokémon. He was no match for Shadow's ice beam or Dark Void. Mainly, every Pokémon Clemont throw at us lasted just one turn.

With the Voltage badge in our hands, we decided to spend the day looking at the city. Johnny was excited because we were two badges away from the Victory Road and face the Elite Four and the Elite Champion.

With renewed hopes, we set towards route 14 and Laverre City to challenge the Gym Leader Valerie and her Fairy type Pokémon. I told Johnny that I wanted to fight this time because I wanted to gauge my strength against her Pokémon. Johnny accepted as he patted my head.

Once we arrived to Laverre City, we found that it was a peaceful town to be. Pokémon and humans walked side by side without worry and we realized that the Hunters never set foot in some parts of the Unova region. We admired the view for a while before entered the Gym to challenge the leader.

I fought against the Valerie's Pokémon with all my strength. My fairy status as a Pokémon allowed me to learn other moves besides Fairy type. The match was decided in less than ten minutes, as I stood victorious with a couple of bruises.

Johnny hugged me and accepted the Fairy badge from Valerie. We celebrated as we exited the Gym. We were one badge away from the Victory Road and the last fight. Johnny planned to use his influence if he was titled new champion to gather the people and fight against the Hunters.

We arrived to Anistar City, but we found that passage to the city was only allowed through Momoswine. Johnny laughed because that Pokémon name resembled mine. I swatted his shoulder as we rode towards the city to challenge the last Gym Leader.

As we arrived, we went inside the Gym. The interiors had a twisted design as the Gym Leader, Olympia, used Psychic Pokémon. Johnny decided to use Pikachu to fight against her Pokémon.

It was a rough fight, but in the end a powerful Bolt Tackle ended the fight against an Alakazam. Olympia was astonished and handed the Psychic badge, saying that she was surprised with Johnny's team and that the Victory Road should be open for him anytime he wished to challenge the Elite four.

Johnny resolve strengthened and we marched towards route 21, and from there we would challenge the Elite Four and join forces with the Unova region to take the fight against the Hunters.

000

We arrived to Victory Road earlier than we expected. That Charizard ride was a blessing for a lot of people. We expected to end with this once and for all as we stepped inside the Elite Four stronghold and face any challenge they could throw at us.

The fight against them were hard enough. The Elite Four who used fire type Pokémon, Malva, proved to be a tough foe against Shadow, but she was defeated as her team tried to fry him too often.

Wisktrom, the steel Pokémon trainer, tried to force Peluso to surrender, but the powerful Fire Blitz ended the fights sooner than Wisktrom expected. The little cat refused to evolve even now, and used his cute charm to receive praise from the people.

The water Pokémon trainer, Siebold praised his defeat at hands of Pikachu as the little mouse proved to be tougher than anyone expected. Siebold said that such coordination was a work of art on its own and congratulated us for advancing through the challenge so fast.

The last trainer, Drasna, used Dragon type Pokémon. Her trainer abilities were amazing as her team fought against Ddraig claw by claw. The battle was fierce, but in the end, Ddraig stood victorious. The trainer, Drasna smiled and congratulated Johnny and the team for the excellent performance.

As we teleported outside the room, the last door opened. The elite Champion awaited for us as Johnny used some Full Restore with us before proceeding inside. Something was off when we arrived to the Elite Champion's room. The scenery looked eerie as some clapping brought our attention to a man standing in front of us.

"Bravo! Bravo! I must say I didn't expect anyone to face me again. I must congratulate you and thank you for giving me the chance of wiping out another fool's dream!" the man said.

"Who the hell are you!? You are not the Elite Champion!" Johnny said, annoyed with the man's attitude.

The man slowly walked forward and locked eyes with John, "Name's Donovan. I've been the Elite Champion for 14 years now. I lead the honorable council of the Defenders of the world." He said.

"Defenders?"

"Yes! You see, after the Ultra Beasts entered our world the balance shattered and Pokémon started to become aggressive as the beasts turned them against us. It was my task to guide people suffering, for that cause the Defenders born. We swore to exterminate the Pokémon menace before they end our lives!" Donovan finished.

Johnny was speechless as Donovan pointed at something on his wall. To my shock, it was the head of a Gardevoir being used as a display. Then I realized that man was the sole reason the people distrusted Pokémon.

"That was my first prey. It's Diantha's Gardevoir before she refused to join me. I hunted her, but her stupid Pokémon blocked my bullets from reaching her. I just killed this thing because she annihilate a bunch of my men!" he said.

-Johnny!? Are you okay!?- I asked, trying to bring him back to his senses.

"I even tried to end with the Legendary Pokémon here in Unova. But that damn chosen stood in my way and cause me this wound!" Donovan added as he removed his shirt to show a large scar over his arm.

"… It was you!" Johnny said.

"What do you mean kid?"

"You are the one who slayed Momoyo's mother! You are the source of all this madness! You killed my uncle!" Johnny said as he stepped forward.

Donovan took out all his Pokémon and ordered them to attack Johnny as he did the same and summoned all the team to fight against them. The leader of the Hunters then pointed a gun to Johnny as he cornered Donovan to the wall.

"Whoa kid! Don't do something you will regret. Listen, let me walk away and you won't hear from me for the rest of your life!" Donovan said as his team was beaten.

"No! I won't forgive you for what you did! Neither Momoyo or any of the Pokémon you separated away from their families!" Johnny said.

"Then you leave me no choice…" he said.

I sensed he was about to shoot, so I ran as fast as I could to protect Johnny. I felt a piercing pain in my chest as the world blackened to me. Johnny yelled to me as my Mega Form lend me some strength to reach out and put a black hole over Donovan's face.

I fell to the ground as Johnny caught me in the air. I could hear the screams of agony coming from Donovan as his existence was erased. I felt no pain as the world around me blurred.

"Momo! Momo! Don't! Hold it together! You can't leave me! Please!" Johnny said as he held me in his arms.

I didn't have the strength to move anymore. With my hand, I reached and held his face while he put his hand over mine. I smiled a little as my comrades circled us and I heard the rest of the Elite Four arriving.

-It was a fun ride, Johnny… The best of my life… But I fear I will have to leave you soon… - I said, my eyes closing and my consciousness beginning to fade.

"Momoyo!? But our journey isn't over yet! I wanted to share the rest of our journey and our lives together! I grew with you and I wanted to be with my partner! Don't leave me!" Johnny said, holding me tighter.

I smiled, -I guess it's a little late to say this, but… I'm in love with you Johnny. After all these years, I came to admire you as a man rather than a master… I wanted to be with you more years… but, now I see this is just a beautiful dream… Good… bye… - I said as my consciousness started to fade and the world around me became pitch black.

"Momoyo! Don't leave… I love you too! I love you!" Johnny said, but I gave no response as my eyes closed and my hand fell to the ground. My body felt no pain as my mind seemed to merge into oblivion.

The last thing I could hear was Johnny screaming my name. And then, I faded away leaving behind my first love.
