Theme: Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again


"Attention, Legendary Heroes Squad!" The voice of the Alpha Pokémon Arceus rang out. "Bring your Legendary Pokémon Partners and come to the Main Room for an urgent meeting!"

Arceus's Trainer, Christian Klein, leapt out of bed. "Arceus, what's wrong?"

"Calm down, Christian." Said the God of Pokémon. "You'll find out at the meeting."

When Christian and Arceus got to the Main Room of the Hall of Origin, all the Trainers and Legendaries were abuzz with chatter.

"There will be order here!" Arceus announced.

Everyone went silent.

"Now," Arceus went on. "Today, ten years ago, we lost a British actor who some of you looked up to. What was his name? Tony Jay?"

"That's right." Christian replied.

"I looked up to him, most definitely." Dialga's Trainer, Maya, added. "He played Judge Frollo in my favorite Disney movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and now I watch it every single day!"

"And so," Arceus continued. "I would like Maya to sing a song in his honor."

Maya stepped into the middle of the big circle as Tessa started the music. When Tessa gave the nod, Maya started singing.

"You were once my one companion. You were all that mattered. You were once a friend and father. Then my world was shattered… Wishing you were somehow here again. Wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here. Wishing I could hear your voice again; knowing that I never would."

All of a sudden, Tessa chimed in.

"Dreaming of you won't help me to do… All that you've dreamed I could…"

Arceus gave the nod to Tessa to keep singing with Maya.

"Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental. Seem for you the wrong companions; you were warm and gentle."

By now, most of the female Trainers and Legendaries had tears in their eyes. Even Zekrom's tough exterior was broken. Alexander had to whisper soothing words to his Legendary Partner.

"Too many years fighting back tears. Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again; knowing we must say goodbye. Try to forgive. Teach me to live. Give me the strength to try! No more memories; no more silent tears. No more gazing across the wasted years. Help me say goodbye. Help me say… Good…bye!"

The Trainers clapped and cheered, and the Legendaries said a prayer led by Arceus.

Tessa and Maya held each other and cried.
