Disclaimer: AshKetchumDarkSide: Thanks! I'm not a fan of Dawn X Kenny either, I was just brain-dead and felt like throwing another pairing in there. And sure, I'll do that soon.
Question: Can't think of one.
My Answer: Sorry bout that.

Summary: There are Pokedex entries that make you wonder.
Absol
Absol: The Disaster Pokemon. It is a long-lived Pokemon that has a lifespan of a hundred years.
Daises always were your favourite. They hang from my mouth now, their stems clenched between my teeth.
My gait is slow. Over the centuries my hips have dislocated, and I have to limp now: my paws are calloused, my legs afflicted with arthritis. But still I drag myself up the stairs of the Pokemon Tower, up to the final floor. Up to where all the greatest trainers rest.
Up to you.
I've always liked it that they buried you up so high. It makes it seem like you really are in heaven, which I'm sure you are. You were my angel, you know. My saviour. Even when everyone else ran from me in fear, you gave me food to eat and a house to call a home. You were so kind. So polite and gentle, what with your kind smile and soft hands.
Which is why I've come to say happy birthday, and to tell you that I miss you.
I drop the daisies at the base of your grave, and then lift a paw to brush the dust off your name. None of your family is around to visit you anymore, which is why I always do. They're all up there with you, in heaven. They died so many years ago.
Crying silently, I lick your tomb, pressing my face against it. It's been sixty years since you passed away. Sixty years since our last battle, since our last meal together. Sixty years since I've last seen you.
Since then, I've been alone.
Nudging aside the wilted bouquet I left the last time I came, I curl up next to your resting place, closing my eyes and pretending that we were young together again.
Maybe someday we will be.
