After everyone gets out of the car, I look down to see how far the dragon rage ate away at the ground. I see that it has eaten away quite a lot of ground, and so I do the same technique a few more times. I use the dragon rage, and every time I do so, I see a lot of ground disappearing. I feel a pain welling up inside me, and I don't know what is happening to me. I am not sure what is happening to me because this time the pain is sharper and not in my head. It is coming from...my heart, I realize with horror. What is happening to me? Why is there so much pain coming from my heart? I am curious to know why this is happening, when I feel the familiar pain inside my head again.
"Axew, I need to tell you something," Hydreigon's voice says.
"Ugh, what is it?" I think.
"Every time you use a pokemon move, it will hurt you. This is because you are in human form and not in pokemon form, but you will have to endure this pain if you are to save the human world." I look up into the sky in confusion. Why would I have to endure this much pain? It didn't make any sense! I voice this opinion to Hydreigon.
"Part of pain is realizing that you have to say goodbye to friends once they leave the pokemon world. Another part of pain is realizing that you must do what is right, whether you want to or not. You are experiencing a life lesson, Axew." I feel like I am dying when I use dragon rage once more, but after I use it this time I look down and see something red shining at the very bottom. Is that the center of the earth? I look at my friends and see them looking back at me.
"Let's go!" I say, and jump through the hole.
