Here is the last part!
I don't really have anything to say about this part, just that if it has any mistakes it may have been because of how tired I was.
After a while of chatting with the Hoenn champions, Moon turned back to her friends looking at them with shining eyes. Before her friends could say anything after returning from the shock, she was already ready to get going.
"I am going to go look what the ocean has to offer!" Moon exclaimed as her eyes shone with excitement at the thought of adventure.
Gladion quickly grabbed her hand as if to stop her but the thing from before returned to his mind and he just let go. For his fortune there was no time for awkwardness as Hau and Lillie jumped in front Moon looking more curious than ever. It was obvious that they wanted to come with her.
Moon seemed to think what to say to them but Sapphire was already ahead of her.
"You can come with us, she will need a bit of back-up", Sapphire said with a wink. Ruby quickly pulled her into his arms as he hissed. Moon let out a laugh and nodded.
"You three can come and help me!" she said seeming to be full of energy. Lillie looked at the Hoenn champions for a while like she was trying to see through them.
"So you two aren't coming?" she asked doubtfully and the two champions shook their heads.
"No, we are going to have to take care of the surface. After all, Kyogre can lent you guys a fin", Ruby said playfully as the other five people stood there looking quite unimpressed. Sapphire slowly moved her hand and hit Ruby on his shoulder for a that stupid joke.
"We'll help Groudon on land while you get Kyogre's help to get to the underwater ruins that were just recently found. You need my help to get Kyogre to do things after all, that's why we are here! Well, that's why I am here. He just had to come with me", she started explaining the situation and everyone nodded.
Even Ruby looked a bit surprised but he was just pretending to annoy Sapphire.
(XxXxX)
After getting the preparations done and calling Kyogre everyone got ready to go deep into the ocean. The giant whale pokemon took them to the old ruins and dropped them off so they landed close to the entrance. They entered the ruins to find out that there was no water inside of it, just normal air what was above ground too.
"This is really cool! Like a secret cave!" Hau yelled while he looked around with excitement. Lillie looked quite fascinated by the half broken decorations. As they looked around, dazed, Gladion approached Moon. She turned around the moment he had reached only two steps away from her. Moon got a bit surprised so she stepped back but Gladion grabbed her arm and held on to it.
"I'm so-", he said looking flustered but before he could finish his sentence there was a loud noise.
Suddenly the room was filled with durant. Mimikyu shivered as it sat on Decidueye's head. The owl pokemon took the ghost pokemon and covered it with its wings.
"Salazzle!" Moon called her pokemon out quicker than anyone soon to be followed by Hau calling out his Flareon, Lillie calling out her Rapidash and Gladion calling out his Crobat. Everyone's pokemon seemed to get ready to fight.
"Rapidash, use flare blitz!" Lillie yelled out and her pokemon did as told. Hau moved next to her as he gave out his order.
"Flareon, flamethrower!" he yelled and the fire Eevee evolution did as said.
Moon looked at her friends while she stood close to Decidueye and Mimikyu to keep them safe. If any durant came close to them, she told Salazzle to use flamethrower. This was going well but before she could react a durant which used metal sound and Moon and her pokemon covered their ears.
Gladion seemed to notice this and he acted faster than before. He didn't even bother his pokemon to use a move. He jumped at the durant taking a hold of it. The ant pokemon reacted by using metal sound straight next to Gladion's ear. Moon got Salazzle to use flamethrower on the durant but carefully because she didn't want to hurt Gladion.
(XxXxX)
After they finally had gotten rid of all the durant they returned their pokemon back to their balls. Well, Moon of course left Mimikyu and Decidueye out. Hau and Lillie, who hadn't noticed the stunt Gladion had done, smiled at each other looking proud of the results of the fights. Moon looked at Gladion for a while but immediately looked away when he turned to look at her. Gladion let out a sigh as he clenched his fist in front of his eyes.
"We should look for- ...that", Moon said as she pointed at a giant ball that seemed to be made of blue cells, reminding of the ones that Zygarde was made of. Lillie's eyes widened and Hau started to look really excited. Gladion on the other hand just looked at Moon, not minding the giant ball of cells. Moon didn't notice this but Decidueye did. It rolled its eyes but decided to stay silent for the sake of the blonde boy.
Moon examined the ball with her gaze before she made any conclusions. She walked towards the ball and touched it. As she pushed on it a little it moved back like some kind of jelly. She pushed a bit more and managed to enter her hand into the ball. The other three trainers and the two pokemon gasped as they feared for her.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine", she whispered as she pushed on the jelly core and soon half of her arm was inside of the cell ball.
Decidueye started to grow worries as did Mimikyu but they had decided to follow any order they had been given. Moon glanced over at them and smiled slightly, happy to see them obeying so kindly to her selfish wishes.
"Decidueye, take my bag and hold onto it until I get back", she said confidently and the owl pokemon did as told. It took her back that had all her items and pokemons in it.
Gladion looked worried for Moon but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Hau and Lillie tried to plead her to pull her arm out but she had already pushed it deeper. With one strong jump from the ground she disappeared into the cell ball. Her friends yelled out to her but there was no reply.
(XxXxX)
Moon felt like she was floating in air as she moved forward in a place that seemed to have no end. All around her was blue cells and sometimes random numbers and letters flew past her. She concluded that they were codes, but for what, she didn't know. She continued to move forward when she suddenly arrived in front of a big screen. She touched it and it moved like the surface of water but she couldn't get through it. She tried to push on it but nothing happened. Only the small wavering on the surface.
That was when she remembered what Ruby and Sapphire had told her. They had told that under the ocean in every region there had sometimes been a voice of a person and a weird blue glow. The others had found a blue glowing ball and rest of that Sapphire left for Moon to find out. They had of course lied about being there to keep watch on the surface. The thing Moon needed to hear had just been to secret to sent with a letter.
Moon pushed on the screen once again. Then she noticed movement on the screen. Much bigger people than her seemed to be wandering around but she couldn't really see them that well. She then heard a voice from inside of the screen that said something around the line of 'You forgot to close your 3DS' and soon the screen went black. Moon blinked few times but after a while of thinking she started to realize it all. A soft smile found its place on her lips as she nodded to herself. The glow was nothing to worry about.
Restart wouldn't be a problem either, it had already been six years.
(XxXxX)
Moon returned to her friends and they all came up to her being all worried but she just laughed it off. She told them that there was no need to worry about it because it wasn't anything dangerous. She took her bag from Decidueye and then told the others that they would be returning to the surface before the ruins would collapse. She knew this would happen because Sapphire had told it would be soon about the time it would be cut off. And now Moon knew what she meant. Soon they wouldn't be on the mercy of someone else or restart. Soon their world would separate from this other world and they could live their lives without being scared of restart.
(XxXxX)
It had been about three months since they visited the ruins. There was no longer no sign of the ruins and the only ones who knew the truth were the champions of every league. Moon of course had also moved on with her life and Lillie had returned to live in the Aether Foundation Island with Gladion. Their mother was still busy and they helped with everything they could. Hau continued on being the Kahuna of Melemele Island. And Moon was still the champion. She hadn't talked to Gladion that much after what had happened but she really wanted to. But her chance soon came.
The door of the champion's room flew open and Moon sat on her throne humming.
"I was informed that there was a challenger but to think it was you. It makes me even more excited!" she said as she lifted her gaze to face the challenger. Before her, stood Gladion, with a confident look on his face.
"If I win this battle, you'll listen to what I have to say", he said as he clenched his fists with rare determination. Moon nodded as she glanced at Decidueye and Mimikyu who were by her side.
"Okay! But if I win, you'll listen to what I have to say!" she answered with a determined gaze. Gladion nodded and pulled his first pokeball out of his jacket. Moon pulled her first pokeball out of her bag. And this was the start of a long lasting battle.
(XxXxX)
After the battle finally ended in the loss of Gladion. Moon smiled happily after she finally won against this strong trainer. At some point of their battle, Lillie and Hau had arrived to watch. Decidueye had been the one who had ended the long battle and Mimikyu had had its first battle ever. Lillie had taken care of Mimikyu immediately after it had fainted and now Moon was praising it along with the rest of the team that had been healed by Lillie too. She had also helped to heal Gladion's team.
Moon stepped forward and planted her hand on Gladion's shoulder.
"It was a good battle, but I am the champion!" she laughed before turning serious.
"Now keep your promise and listen", she said before sitting on the ground. Gladion soon followed her example and the two of them sat there just looking at each other a while.
"I was hurt. I was hurt when you rejected me, but I decided that I shouldn't mope around because of it. So here goes nothing. Gladion, since a looong time, I have liked you. I was so happy to get a letter from you and to be able to meet you. I still like you, even if you rejected me", Moon spoke out with a calm voice.
At that moment Gladion couldn't stop himself. He pulled Moon into a hug, squeezing her against his own chest.
"Don't do that", he whispered with a voice that was cutting of because he was half crying and half laughing.
"I've liked you for a long too. I hated myself for not being able to convey it all to you. And then that thing happened and I doubted myself and-", he spoke and he would have went on and on but Moon silenced him with her hand. She was laughing and crying at the same time.
When Moon finally was able to speak again she took her hand away from Gladion's mouth.
"Are we both really this dense?" she asked while giggling and Gladion nodded as a slight smile took over his usually serious features. He awkwardly wiped away the tears from Moon's eyes and then he leaned forward so their foreheads touched.
"Please bear with this for now. I would k… kiss you… if those two weren't staring us like they are trying to bore their gazes through us", he whispered then pulled his head back to glare at the two silent people in the room.
Hau laughed out loud and Lillie giggled. They were really happy for their friends. Hau was so happy that he forgot something important.
"So can I date your sister then? I'm serious about her!" he blurted out the question without thinking.
Hau's question for Gladion caught everyone off guard. Moon's eyes flared up with excitement while Gladion wasn't even sure how he should reply. Lillie stared at Hau blankly then started to blush.
"Wh-what are you asking from my brother before even asking me?" she asked quietly and Hau too blushed now realizing what he had said. Moon bursted out laughing and soon did the others too. Even the pokemon laughed with them.
I'll post one more 'chapter' which will just be to show you all the teams I planned so carefully. Just because I did them and I didn't even bring them up that much in the story.
(Maybe next time when I write a pokemon fic I'll just make it an AU... haha)
