This is the last chapter in Sinnoh. This is also the second of the two chapters in the story that are relatively short. But it is well lived, so enjoy!
The next two weeks that we spent traveling back across Sinnoh were rough. Whenever Gallade wasn't looking, there wasn't much to stop Danielle from killing me. It deprived me of sleep, and increased my paranoia, but I was finally getting what I deserved. We didn't head directly back to Sunyshore City as originally planned, instead, we detoured to Sangdem Town so that I could drop Mesprit off at Lake Verity.
"Calvin, you didn't have to do this," She said. "I could've just teleported home."
"No, no. I wanted to do it. I'm pretty sure Azelf and Uxie are fighting again by now, and I can just take a ferry to Sunyshore from Sangdem. It's no problem."
I couldn't figure out where to walk, either in front or behind of Danielle. So instead I left her and the others at the docks in Sangdem and went with Mesprit alone. When we made it to the lake, she changed back into her pokémon form.
'I really appreciate what you did,' She said. 'Thanks for bringing me along with you.'
"I'm glad I said yes." I laughed.
'Please try to make up with Danielle, okay?' She hugged me. Well, at least my paranoia went away.
"Okay."
She waved me goodbye and dove beneath the water. I took a deep breath and walked back out to the route.
The ferry steamed out of Sangdem harbor and made a wide left turn, bound for Sunyshore.
"From there, we take the first ship home," I said to Millie. "I've called Molly for the last two weeks, and no answer."
She continued to stare at me.
"What?"
She frowned.
"You want me to go apologize to Danielle, huh?" She nodded. "I've tried that on dry land, and it didn't work. The open sea is just a giveaway," I turned back to the sea. "I....I think it's too late for apologies now."
"Mil!" She said, in a "keep trying!" tone.
"You're right....I will try my best to make up with her as soon as we reach home, okay?" I rubbed her nose. At least I would be on dry land(well technically, this isn't all true), and in the safety of my own house.
It took us another hour to get to Sunyshore City, where we transferred to the larger ship, bound for Alto Mare.
"Well, Sinnoh was fun while it lasted."
The last sentence happens to be a line me and my parents use whenever we leave a state, city, country, etc. It helps to ease the sorrow of having to leave the place with the idea that you'll return sometime in the future. Anyway, in the next chapter, Calvin returns to Alto Mare, and the mood changes drastically! Please Review!
