A few days passed, a few noisy and shocking days, because not only what Warborn did to save the entire world was shocking recently, but also what took place and later, at the hands of the Wild Old Man, that's what happened, the Wild Old Man after his last appearance took away from personally the mayor of Horton, he didn't actually do anything to him because he was waiting for one thing, his trial, and the urgent trial took place two days later, and even when Horton, against the voices of the citizens of the island of Rakon, was acquitted anyway by the closed arrangement of connections and interests but Horton and his clique would soon find out how wrong they were, but many would find out today that the absence of Warborn would not stop true justice, many after Warborn's disappearance saw this as their chance, it was on that day that they were all suddenly caught by justice that even Warbon never achieved, suddenly Horton after the acquittal, judges, business people, corrupt company bosses and those wanting to take advantage of opportunities, ten generals from the northern peninsula and the nation of Turmon, suddenly in one moment they all fell to the ground writhing in great pain that was inflicted on them, in the form of a terrible disease that plagued their body, a bone cancer that was created in the bodies of corrupt people, according to the will imposed by the Wild Old Man, and everyone saw in it the vengeful power that was left of their hero, which has now just been activated, and that's how it was supposed to be, but the truth was and is that the entire revenge was planned only by Wild Old Man, who was the only one who had the real strength to brutally and ruthlessly punish and sentence the guilty to a year of life, that's what happened a few days ago after Warborn sacrificed himself for whole world.
Yes, Warborn sacrificed everything he could for the world he loved so much, you could say that Warborn was always ready for it, because he had always been walking on the edge in his own world, the fight against rudeness and evil in his world was in itself walking on the border. between life and death, from beating up people who broke the rules and were rude, even attacking and mutilating business and law people, people who pretended to be above the law, to personal revenge on his enemies from school and his parents, it all always led him to one thing, to the present place where everything ended in one great sacrifice, and so it was, Warorn sacrificed himself to save the world that did not change him and showed him the whole truth in that even though he was an avenging angel, there was always an extraordinary glow inside him, separated by a powerful barrier that he would create and built it and now everything broke.
Today, after seven days, in the city of Rakon, visitors from far away and trainers met for the last time and wanted to personally thank the hero who showed them so much, showed them and directed them to such important matters, showing them what, apart from fighting in Pokemon tournaments, is so important, because it is thanks to him, so many unusual couples were created here in Rakon, including Ash and Serena, Brock and Olivia, Alain and Mairin, Jessie and James, Meowth and Meostic, Gary and Zoroark, Hogah and Zeraora, the Delphox couple, Korrina and Lucario, Cynthia, and Garhomp, and Senna and Marton, who gathered in the great museum chamber before the four cups engraved with their hero's initials, and the last [platinum cup, which, after one hundred and twenty years, was again given to the winner of the three three-power tournaments, and the concealer in the shadow, a white Absol with a red tail, black tips, and a navy blue horn, she looked at this sight with great emotion in her heart, hidden in her illusion, she watched the happiness and joy of people and Pokemon who found each other through the fire that Warborn spread, his truth connected so a lot and also extinguished many flames of unhealthy competition, this was also the case with the close Paul, Leon, Misty, Astrid and Domino who decided to change so much in their lives, and Gary and Paul together with Ash finally buried the hatchet knowing best that disagreement ruins harmony is building, today everything was different, but there was always one regret, there is and always will be.
The regret will always be the same, Warborn, a mad man with the power of all the Eternals, gave everything to protect the world that was to him like the light of a star in the night sky, like a shooting star fulfilling his wish, finding here everything he didn't find, what he didn't want to find, what he was running away from in his world and here he found everything, and his sacrifice was painful for many today, because they knew the crazy man too well, they owed me too much and they couldn't even thank him today, they could only break it down in front of themselves, in front of four cups in a display case dedicated to the hero of the world.
Of course, among all this there was another pain that Absol felt again today and her ruby turquoise eyes began to fill with tears, they were both tears of pain and joy, seeing Marton and Senna together, Absol felt mixed emotions in her heart, what she felt for this man was something extraordinary but she couldn't do anything anymore, she couldn't interfere with his own happiness and her heart was hurt for the second time, probably more than what Wabrorn did because he did it for the whole world, now Absol looking at her friends, lovers, and people burying the axes of war, she shook her head, regretting that she had not found her own happiness, there was a moment when Warborn was talking to her, she wanted to find the one in him, but he quickly cut off the whole matter, suddenly a strong shock hit her heart, because what her feelings today were nothing compared to the one she had to watch the loss of her beloved, suddenly Absol wiped the tears from her eyes and looked into the long white corridor and then, in a veil of illusion, she ran out of one of the taller skyscrapers of the city of Rakonus, running in only one direction, because she knew where the one who had lost the most not so long ago could be waiting today.
- I have to stop her, no, she won't do it, but I will, rrrr. She said and growled Absol nicely, now being angry at the one who had to stop everything, but he never did it because, as he said, he didn't want to take away the world's choice.
Absol was rushing between people who, not seeing her, suddenly jumped when something brushed against them, and rushing through the city and crowded streets, running through lanes, between passers-by, she was rushing in only one direction, where she had seen her this morning, Absol was running with more and more spirit through the city, passing two trucks stopped at the traffic lights, until she finally ran out to the outskirts of the city, rushing to the place where everything had its beginning, and this was a place called the Western Mountains, this was where the fallen Golden Token had been hidden for hundreds of years, this was where everything had its beginning, it was there that for the first time she saw before her eyes a crazy man who at the very beginning looked, fought and acted like a complete madman, but over time everything changed and changed a lot.
Absol finally ran between the brown arena where, not so long ago, a few weeks ago, there were Pokemon battles in the strength and combat tournament, and then she entered the broken area of large brown peaks where she combined her illusions and constantly rushed through small mountain paths and along the broken peaks that formed a large space until as she ran onto the edge leading to the starting point she was suddenly bounced off the edge by a large red balloon which pushed her away and knocked her to the side, a surprised Absol looked up and saw in front of her a pair of angry blue eyes and a small pink cat pokemon Mew spinning fire.
- what was the best thing you wanted to do, come on!, he's not worth it, Marton!, I thought you gave up after everything with Warborn, or maybe it's about him. Mew asked angrily, twirling her tail around, and Absol suddenly grabbed her and threw her on her white back.
- that's not the point, but since I once wanted to do something stupid, which Reshiram might do today, come on, hold on to my mane and we'll fly to the starting point. She said Absol and ran across the broken earth between the edge and the broken Scythian.
- like, but, oh no, not that, but how do you know she's there?. Mew asked, holding her back tightly, keeping an eye on the red tail with black tips. Absol, running along the rocky ledge and panting, quickly replied.
- I saw her this morning, flying in the sky, rushing to the place of origin, that's where I saw her, for sure, and if she was. She said Absol between deep breaths as she ran, Mew suddenly grabbing her by the white mane and then using a red balloon to lead her across the sky over the broken edges, thus shortening the path to the starting point.
- if it may be so, it's not time to waste time on avoiding, now I'm driving and don't be afraid of heights. She said Mew as she guided Absol over a few broken peaks from the past fights between Warborn and Arceus and other Mythical Legendary Pokemon.
They both ran over peaks and broken rocks where deep chasms were created until their eyes saw a white dragon Pokemon lying in the empty place left by the destroyed dome, with a rocket-shaped tail, spread feathers and windswept white fur, Reshiram lay motionless in place and her blue eyes were closed and they did not give any sign of life, the terrified Mew and Absol landed on the ground and edges of the remains of the destroyed temple, then when the red balloon of psychic power disappeared, both the freed Absol and Mew started screaming as they reached Reshiram, then they both saw shallow breathing, the tightly clenched eyes and teeth of a suffering Pokemon after the loss of her loved one.
- why are you here too, why, I wanted to be alone today. She said Reshiram, opening her blue eyes full of tears.
- we just wanted to check. She said Absol, nodding with Mew.
- we wanted to check something, nothing more. She said Mew as she turned between Absol to the other side.
- yes, well, I know why you are here, are you really that stupid, I will never hurt myself, that's what Warborn asked me to do, Jet, I, I, I can't, why did it have to end like this, why? !. The great white dragon Pokemon shouted as it stood up, raising its open mouth upwards, releasing a powerful beam of blue fire.
- why, why, why didn't that damned Wild Old Man do anything, the one Arceus calls The One Beyond It All, why didn't he do anything. Reshiram asked furiously and her anger was also divided between Absol and Mew who also had similar opinions here.
- I don't understand it either, why he didn't do anything, after all, he was the one who defeated Urmanakur from the vampires a long time ago, so why was he standing aside now, why. Absol asked.
- then he did it to save our free choice, now Horton chose for the whole world and Warborn's choice withdrew everything, but it doesn't change my mind, it shouldn't be like that, I guess I will never, but I will never understand it, I won't understand him, it's too difficult. She said Mew and suddenly she and Anbsol jumped as the Wild Old Man walked calmly from behind them, this dirty man, in a black jacket, red pants, gray hair and a thick dirty black beard, the Wild Old Man looked at everyone with his gray eyes and raised he raised himself high to sit on a broken rock shelf and, looking at everyone, he said only a few words to each of those present.
- it was his choice, he chose it because he was always ready for it, but it was no longer his dream but an obligation, I did not take away his choice. Said the Wild Old Man, bending down towards everyone until the furious Reshiram started screaming at him.
- you are crazy and I don't care who you are, how can someone be like you, completely devoid of feelings and emotions. She said Reshiram furiously.
- it's simple, I am beyond your imagination, more than the cosmos, if I showed you how I see everything, you would never want to go back to it, you wouldn't even want to love him, believe me, besides, I can feel, I can, but when I do it I see your weakness, but also something that is distinguished in it, because dreams, innocence and madness are forces beyond that, they can feel but they can also do so much, free from fear and lies, that's true, and of course free from eternal hunger, well but this is not so important today, what is important is what is true here and today. Said the Wild Old Man, and the chorus of screams was suddenly joined by little Mew, who hovered right in front of the Wild Old Man's gray eyes.
- so why do you do what you do with people from Horton and his sons to judges and business people, to generals from the north, why!, why, if this is how you take away other people's choices!. Mew shouted, giving vent to her negative emotions that were usually rare and even alien to her.
- it's simple, firstly, it's not a punishment, it's salvation on my part when I destroy, kill or make you suffer while I'm alive, it's salvation from my hand, it's mercy and compassion when I save, heal, then it works miracles, secondly , I'm doing something that even Warborn couldn't do, and you know why. The Wild Old Man asked as his eyes suddenly became cosmic, reflecting the essence of the entire cosmos and this caused the squealing Mew to hide behind the back of the taller and significantly larger Reshiram.
- why, enlighten us, I want to know, yes I know, too little knowledge is a curse and too much knowledge is a burden, balance is stupidity, so you're crazy to teach me, tell me what you know, please. She said Absol, the Wild Old Man, now looking at her, disappeared from the top of the rock and stood in front of her with his eyes shining with unknown power, where entire galaxies could be seen.
- so listen, crazy spark, listen everyone, it is known that Warborn was an avenging angel in his own way, it is true, he caused quite a mess in his world, taking his vengeance here too on greedy and corrupt people, from the mayor's sons to himself, but the truth is simple , he couldn't kill, he couldn't maim very much and you know, little Mew, why it was and is like that, when he went to destroy and sink the northern fleet from Turmon, deep in his heart on the other side of his barrier he asked for someone to stop him, you stopped him, you changed him there is a lot in him but not this, that's why his choice was always free, it's simple isn't it, that's why he couldn't kill those who were weak, stupid, innocent, even when they were guilty he couldn't do it, except for true evil, apart from vampires, that's why he listened to you, you little Mew, you Absol convincing you to live on, you Reshiram, come on, it was extremely interesting with you. Said the Wild Old Man, and his shining eyes were once again like those of an ordinary human, plain and gray, but Reshiram, pushing him, suddenly clenched her jaws tightly and her front paws connected to her wings.
- what are you talking about, monster, what! She shouted Reshiram at the top of her lungs, but the Wild Old Man never responded in an angry manner, his face was constantly blank, emotionless, like a machine but on a completely different higher level.
- it's simple, he loved you from the very beginning when he met you, that's why he never raised a hand against you, that's why he was mean because he didn't want to hurt you, he never wanted to hurt his friends, when he found them, when he found you, he tried to get you together discourage him, but inside it was a cry of despair, and believe me, when Arceus hurt him for the first time in a long time, he caused more pain to himself because he understood one thing, he has friends, he has so many, and Arceus said it because he was afraid of him , it showed him how much, he could do a lot of harm to everyone he liked, respected, loved, that's why he wanted to protect you from himself, but everything changed once again thanks to Mairin and you Reshiram, thanks to you, then his barriers broke for always, for the first time, he found and felt what he was running away from, because he always believed that he could not be happy, he had to suffer to burn evil with evil, but he would never be able to do it, that's why I did it for him, and the world trembled, didn't it?. asked the Wild Old Man, showing a smile for the first time, a display of emotion that was, of course, shocking today in an incomparable way.
- if he wasn't prepared for it, why him?. Absol asked, analyzing with difficulty all the words that the Wild Old Man said.
- why are you smiling today, or this?. asked little Mew and Wild Old Man showed his full smile again.
- because, as I already said, little Mew, I can feel, but I don't need it, now why not, and as for your question, Absol, you don't see it, thanks to the fact that he wasn't able to burn away the evil as he thought, that made him a true mad man, truly worthy of the Golden Token, his portal, he was and is a true hero, understand this, he is a hero isn't he. Said the Wild Old Man and Reshiram, who was listening to him, looked up at the sky and growled loudly.
Reshiram constantly felt this great pain of losing her beloved, although she knew that he was still alive, but somewhere buried inside the nightmares of a terrible monster that would lie at the bottom of the ocean for all eternity and their hearts would be divided forever.
- and what does it change, what!. Reshirm shouted, directing her anger at the Wild Old Man, and he now stood in front of her in a large form just like hers, but even then, nothing broke her anger, even though Mew and Absol took a step back, she was constantly looking into the gray eyes of The One Beyond It All , and he closed his eyes for a moment, lifting his head to the sky, then looked at Reshiram again and spoke.
- after all, you can always free him, separate one from the other, just swim to the bottom and break the granite wall, in this simple way you will raise the monster and free him, but are you ready to condemn the world for him?. asked the Wild Old Man, Reshiram, hearing this, took a few steps back and then lowered her head, this time at herself and at the Wild Old Man, who now became smaller than Mew, sitting on her head between her ears.
- I'm not, why are you doing this to me, where is he?. Reshiram asked, Mew began to screech and fly around Absol until a small human figure stood in front of Absol and Mew stretched her hands up into the sky where a pair of shooting stars appeared.
- he can't do it on his own, but there is something that can help him, other chosen ones, when you see a white light in the sky, sparkling blue and red, a white star, then you both have to find it, this is the only chance that other chosen ones can help , the white star is an unusual element, different from the Golden Token or the Black Crystal, the first one opens a portal and gives power, the second one, the Black Crystal gives power directly, but the White Star opens the portal directly where it should be. The Wild Old Man said and then crouched down in front of the Absol, opening his hand where the White Star, a crystalline semi-liquid form, shone.
- this, this, this is a white star, you mean?. Mew asked, making a few turns in front of Dziad and what he had in his hand.
- it means you want to help us today, me, the whole world?. Reshiram asked almost pleadingly.
- what I am giving today is a gift not for you but for her, a white star may or may not fall here from space, be patient and now Absol is a gift for you, you can use it today or say no and let it break into billions of pieces, it's your choice, I'm just giving you an opportunity, I'm opening the door for you, it's up to you whether you go through it and find your happiness wherever you want, wherever your heart and your crazy will lead you. Said the Wild Old Man, holding his right hand in front of the white Absol, who had always wanted only one thing, to find love and be happy, and what the Wild Old Man offered her, or more precisely, The One Beyond It All, was the only chance for her true happiness, Absol gasped as she looked at a white star, a crystalline semi-liquid form, but suddenly she hesitated, withdrawing her paw with navy blue claws.
- no, if I can do something I want it to help this world, please. She said Absol and the Wild Old Man did not withdraw his hand.
- this is not a gift for this world, but for you, understand this, it is your gift, you cannot give it to this world, it is too little, it is too weak and too small, this is my gift for you, and only for you, you will say no, I will leave just like your chance and happiness, of course, you can continue to look for happiness here, but look into my eyes and tell me whether you believe that you will find your happiness here, tell me?. The Wild Old Man asked.
Absol took two steps back and then looked at Reshiram and Mew who were silent, they did not want to influence Absol's decisions, and take away the gift that was given only to her, and only she could choose her decision, Mew finally showed her smile and Reshiram closed her eyes. eyes, knowing what it's like to be happy, even if it was so short, today the Wild Old Man gave her new hope, only because she had to look at the sky, Absol suddenly approached the Wild Old Man and took the white star from his hand.
- so you have made the decision, today you start your great journey, the journey to happiness, and let's believe in one thing, when you find it, fight for it with all your heart, with all your strength, and maybe there you will find something more than just happiness, and opportunities for everyone, and you two, Reshiram, Mew, when the white star falls, you both will know, you will know because it is known, find the star and use it, and then it's time to wake up, but first you, my friend, and please take this with you. said the Wild Old Man.
When Absol already had a white star in her right paw, the Wild Old Man knelt in front of her and opened his other left hand, which contained a pendant, an amulet with ornaments from an ancient people called the Mayans, an amulet resembling a Calendar in appearance, landed on a gold chain around Absol's neck.
- what, what is it?. Absol asked, lifting in her left paw a stone amulet with an unusual inscription of an ancient people.
- it's a gift, everyone should have an amulet for good luck, it's your gift, let it always be yours and be an element of your memory after what happened here, and now feel free to find your new home. Said the Wild Old Man, sounding extremely gentle, and looking at him, Absol tightened her right paw on the white star and looked one last time at the gift, at the amulet that was supposed to be an element of memory.
- but how, how can I do it, wait, home, happiness, me!. Absol screamed as the white star burst, surrounding her with a world with an open portal into the unknown.
Absol looked back for the last time and then she looked confidently at the open portal, taking the first step into the unknown, and when she did, when she started approaching the open portal, something hit her once again, a certain sadness that what she knew today would be gone forever, but on the other hand, there was joy at the chance given to her by Dziki Dziad.
- me, goodbye, why does it always have to hurt so much, why?. Absol asked.
- every goodbye is painful, but I believe that you will find your happiness there, hold on and don't let your happiness be taken away from you, don't let it. She said Mew.
- if you find the one on the other side, fight for him with all your strength, and let him fight for you, if there were more opportunities, guys should also fight for us. She said Reshiram, Absol released the evil from her ruby turquoise eyes one last time with a final sting, and then passed to the other side of the open portal.
The portal disappeared just as Absol passed through it, the Wild Old Man standing between Mew and Reshiram opened his right hand, having one last discussion in his mind, then looked at the two Pokemon and turned his eyes to the sky.
remember, the white star will make itself felt when it starts to fall, then this world will have a chance, a great chance, and she, Absol, will be another of the chosen ones, exactly. Said the Wild Old Man and disappeared into the unknown before further questions that he himself created with a few words.
- that how, she's another but how, after all, the white star doesn't give you power, let him go away, but what does that mean!. Mew, the pink cat Pokemon, shouted while making a few turns with her tail.
- I don't know, but I know one thing, he gave me hope today, just like he gave hope to her, I will wait for the star to fall, even for all eternity, today he gave me hope and faith and for that I am grateful to him. She said Reshiram, watched from outside the galaxy by the Wild Old Man, or really, The One Beyond It All.
And when the image of the white dragon Pokemon, full of hope for the future, disappeared, looking at the stars, The One Beyond It All looked at one more place, at the image of an eternal nightmare that bound Urmanakur for eternity, although it wasn't so certain, but today it was, in the great arena from the dark images a man stood and fought in a golden assembly of seraphs, and his brown eyes were as focused as they were motivated, and his power here was infinite and eternal as his will, and so the Eternals Warborn, Jet Sobieski, struck down the great army with his golden swords , smashing an endless host of two-meter-tall monsters resembling Urmanakur in appearance, beasts with a U-shaped body, two closed knobs at the top of the U, four tentacle legs and tentacle roots growing from the monster's belt, Warborn made turns and struck with both his swords and and a beam from his eyes, powerful balls from his fingers and cannons, to his great massive golden gauntlets, breaking and deceiving the enemy with the power of illusion, to his golden whips shattering the black earth, all in one Eternals struck at the endless army, making Warborn the greatest nightmare for Urmanakur, a nightmare that binds a terrible monster.
- may your fight be eternal. Said The One Beyond It All And he disappeared somewhere unknown in the darkness of space, leaving only his eyes open, reflecting whole galaxies with the image of the fighting Warborn, with the image of the world and hearts that gave great hope.
L
The end is what it is, devoid of sweetness for the first time, but not without hope for the future, on the contrary, because now so much depends on Absol who has never found love in the world of Pokemon, and now, crossing the gates of worlds, she had a chance for so much, but Whether Absol will be able to choose between duty and happiness, between love and opportunity for the Pokemon world, we will find out soon in my next story, sequel, Pokemon Men In Black The Power of Truth.
