when the three of you
were k i d s
you knew
that you'd grow up
to be Pokémon Masters
it was a d r e a m
for all of you
&boy, how that d r e a m
got
skewered
lopsided
broken
he was first
with all of his
cockiness&arrogance
{{but you admired him, really}}
he became Champion
&that was that
-right?-
-wrong.-
you wanted to t r y
{{&surely there's nothing wrong
in t r y i n g?}}
so you t r i e d
suddenly
it was you
facing him
and you won
…
-that's not how
it was supposed to
work out…-
...
he hated you
you gave me all of
five minutes
he yelled
you could have
given me
more
&the professor
congratulated
you
&the professor
forgot about
him
&when she heard,
she took off for Johto
saying
i don't want to have
any part in this
which was a pity, really
because she was such a
great
trainer&friend&person
…
life went on
&you soon realized
that being a Pokémon Master
wasn't exactly as great
as you thought it would be
&you would have told him
if he was talking to you
but he wasn't
in fact, hardly anyone did
Lance was intimidated
Leaf was missing in action
Professor Oak had better things to do
&it got so lonely
that one day,
you quietly walked out of your room
never to return
it hurt
when you found
that it took days
for anyone to realize
you were gone
Leaf had an excuse
she was out of the region
but for him not to know
and him
and him
it hurt
for
t
h
r
e
e
years
[three long years have passed]
&there's a short figure
stepping through the snow
towards you
you battle
you lose
&your world is turned
u p s i d e – d o w n
there's nothing left to do
you were Champion
&now you're not
so you trod back down the mountain
into Viridian City
&what you don't expect
is him and Leaf
coming out of a Pokémart
arms connected
your heart stops for a minute
but then you see Green
he sees you
&your eyes meet
Leaf lets go of his arm
-pushes him towards you-
{{she knew, didn't she}}
&you forget about what
others think
or what
others say
&you fly into his arms
finally free
