Chapter 8

Farewells

The scene changed back as the showdown ended. The Dimensional Sword, The Horde of Haniku, and The Cube of Haiku fell into Paul's arms. "Well done Paul you were awesome," Zoey said hugging Paul and causing him to go a deep red in the face. They were so busy praising Paul none of the saw Cyrus trying to sneak away, until "Tangle Web Comb!" Kimiko shouted as the strings of hair caught Cyrus and bounded him, unable to get away. "And just where do you think your going?" Dawn asked. "Officer Jenny will be very pleased to know that we have caught the leader of Team Galactic," Reggie said. Ash then turned around to face the Heylin team, only to find that they have gone. "Hey where did they go?" he asked to no one in particular. "They must have took off when the showdown happened," Raimundo answered. Then they hopped and Dojo and flew back to the temple with Cyrus in tow.

"Well done young ones," Master Fung said as they return to the temple. "And now that the Dimensional Sword is in our possession, I'm afraid it is time for goodbyes." Everyone looked sad at the thought. "Hey don't worry about it," Ash said. "I'm sure we'll see each other again." "Yea," said Raimundo, "Hey maybe we'll see you in the pokemon world next time." As Clay was about to open up a portal Paul stopped him. "Hold on, there's something I need to do first." He reached into his backpack, took out the Cube of Haiku and handed it to Master Fung. "Here," he said, "I don't need this anymore." Reggie walked up to him. "You sure?" he asked, "This is what you want?" "It would be alright if it stayed with you" Paul stared up at everyone with and emotionless expression. "No thanks that thing is dead weight anyway, besides you need it more than me." Everyone smiled at his choice as Clay opened up the portal and the poke gang said their goodbyes as they jumped through dragging Cyrus along.

When they got back to their world they called Officer Jenny and after some explaining she and Looker from the International Police Force went to pick him up and send him to jail, after Croagunk jabbed Brock for flirting with Jenny again of course. As the two cops left Zoey turned to Paul and handed him a present. "Here, I made this for you last night," she said. Paul opened it up and couldn't believe his eyes. In it was the Cube of Haiku. But it wasn't the real one. It was hand carved and made of wood, painted to look like the original. "You can actually open this one," Zoey pointed out. Paul opened it and saw that some pictures were inside. Some had his parents in it, others were Reggie and his pokemon. There was even one of Zoey and her pokemon. "Thanks Zoey," Paul said amazed. "And...um...I want to ask you something." "Sure." "Would you like to...travel Sinnoh...with me?" Zoey gasped and stared at him a minute before answering, "I'd be happy to travel with you Paul." She ran up to hug him with Paul returning the hug. Everyone waved goodbye as Reggie went back to Veilstone, Paul and Zoey went to another town, and Ash, Pikachu, Dawn and Brock headed to Sunnyshore City for Ash's final gym badge.

Yea it is finally done after a long seven months, not as popular as I hoped but whatever. I would like to thank everyone for reviewing, alerting, and of course reading. Sequel: probably not. More stories: defiantly! I'm already about to work on another one and I hope it will be as good
