Chapter 15 – Thoughts for a Lost Friend
It had been about eight years since Mewtwo's death, known in history as the Second Tribulation, the first being a fight between Dialga and Palkia in the distant past. Neo-Cyclone, under command of General Burnn, was officially disbanded, its remants later becoming the Arcceonn Self-Defense Force or ASDF. Dallon Lettos' whereabouts remained unknown, but it was decided he was no longer a threat. As for Sarah…well, she settled into a new life rather smoothly…
Back in Arcceonn City, Sarah lied down on the same hill where she and her father had watched the clouds roll by just eight years ago, the day Neo-Cyclone attacked and her journey began; to her, it seemed like it was earlier that very day. She wasn't alone then, nor was she alone now, although the one with her wasn't her father. It was a shiny Ralts, her son, and although he had more of her appearance, he had the somber lavender eyes of his father. As it turned out, Mewtwo hadn't completely left her in a way. Although he was only seven years of age, he was wise beyond his years, and his intelligence had been compared to that of somebody in their late teens or early twenties; this was the main tell-tale sign of who his father was.
"What was Dad like?" he asked. Sarah sighed and replied, "Well Gavin…he was tall, strong, and very smart…but he was lonely, he didn't have any friends or family when I met him." "Oh…" Gavin replied, "Another thing…if he died before I was born, then how come I'm here?" "I'll tell you when you're older" Sarah replied with a half grin. "Aw C'mon!" Gavin complained, "You say that every time you don't want to talk about something!" "It's something you don't want to know yet…" Sarah answered. "Oh, I get it. Touchy subject huh?" Gavin said sheepishly. "Yeah…but that doesn't matter, you're still here, and that's all that matters" Sarah responded as she looked up at the night sky. Her gaze traced lines between several of the stars until she recognized an image: Mewtwo. Sarah turned away slightly as tears formed in her eyes, something Gavin noticed. "What is it?" Gavin asked in a concerned tone. "Nothing…" Sarah replied, "Just thoughts for a lost friend…" Sarah looked at the constellation one last time and smiled, remembering her father's words, "Sometimes, one finds the unexpected in the least expected form…"
