… Some seeds only sprout after the fire.
Grovyle was Celebi's hero. She often found it funny that a legendary Pokémon thought a regular Pokémon was her hero, but it was true. She found his confidence and strength comforting, a beacon in the dark.
Celebi was something different, that was for sure. She was always cheerful, like Blitz had been before they had begun openly opposing Dialga. These days, Blitz just sighed and acted like a box of wet matches, barely sparking. He knew he was in love with Blitz, and that was a taboo. A human should not love a Pokémon, and vice versa. And he was helpless to do anything but watch as Blitz faded away.
It hurt to see Grovyle madly in love with Blitz. She knew that Blitz was too broken to feel anything anymore, and she felt sorry for her. They had been friends, after all. But it still hurt to see Grovyle fall for a girl who couldn't love him.
When Blitz came back, she had the spark in her eyes again, but now she was with a new Pokémon, a shinx. The two seemed to be close. Very close. And Celebi felt happy, very happy.
As for Grovyle? When Celebi asked, he just shook his head. "She's with Bolt now. He's probably better for her, seeing as he healed her." He seemed sad, but at the same time glad. Celebi took his worn paw in her soft ones, and he squeezed her paw just a little bit. Celebi had never been so pink before.
After Grovyle came back for the second time without Blitz, Celebi secretly rejoiced. After all, she got to see him again, and Blitz wasn't here to ruin it. Celebi was ecstatic. But wasn't that a selfish desire? Celebi wondered if she was finally giving in to her Primal.
As they lay dying, Grovyle crawled over to Celebi, cradling her head in his lap, spending their last moment together, and Celebi wanted to freeze time in place forever. She wondered why Dusknoir had disappeared before the two of them, as if to allow them to spend their last minutes together. The sun rose for the first time in centuries, and Celebi suddenly believed that everything they had worked for was worth it.
As the light intensified, Grovyle leaned in to say something, but his words were lost on the wind.
"I love you…"
And as the sun rose, the two disappeared.
But of course, we can't end the story here.
Celebi stood claw in hand with Grovyle, watching two little eevee play. Since the Rebuilding, as it had called, the two had adopted orphans to care for, as legendaries and mortals can't have children. But it still worked out in the end.
Because after a big storm, there is always a rainbow.
Me: PIZZAAAAAAAAA! I swear, this is too cheesy. For those who are confused, Blitz and Bolt are my EoS team, Katrina and Vivi are my EoD team... yes, I have both. GROVYLEEEEEEEEEEE! And people, I know Vulpix isn't an option in EoD...
