what now...
...
to be honest...
the abandoned Coal mine on Route 18 is interesting but...
it's not what we're after...
well...
for what i after...
...
ever since we talked to Olympia...
many thoughts ran through my head...
maybe panicked...
will this dream come true...
will the fate of Max return on the wrong hands come true?
what did she mean Return?
is he...
...
no...
that's not possible...
but...
...
i stopped thinking as i look at the huge waterfall right in front of me from the distance almost half of a Kilometer... yes it is huge...
the stars reflect the dark Waters falling making blinks of light on the Waterfall...
making it shines...
it is dark anyway...
and i am leaning on a metal fence from the terrace of the hotel i stayed at...
also, I'm at Couriway City...
it's impressive how this town turned to a city a while ago...
and this hotel...
is very nice...
...
when we're on our way to this town... i mostly kept silent with Alex when Max tries to make a conversation...
he tried to tell me what's wrong but...
i didn't tell him anything...
when we're near the mine, Max said that we should Explore it...
but...
I insist...
...
this feels wrong...
we aren't supposed to be this cautious but...
i...
i...
i can't...
i just...
can't...
...
i felt my eyes watery...
...
then... a pat on my back made my tears halt...
i turned around to see Alex smiling...
then he leans on the same fence i am leaning at as i see him staring at the Waterfall happily...
i was confused...
why is he happy...
does he remember?
"You know... I've been thinking a lot..." said Alex, i am surprised that he kept smiling...
"i think we should act normal..." Alex continued...
"b-but... how... knowing the fact that you might-"
"enough..." he cut's me off kindly
"i..." he paused...
"I'm fine with it... as long as You And Max... and the world is fine... I'm willing to make the sacri-"
"IM NOT FINE WITH IT!" i screamed with pain on my heart...
Alex looked at me and stopped smiling...
"I... I Can't lose you... i..." at this point... i started crying, i kept holding my emotions from breaking out as i endure Alex's decision...
"Justin... we promised you will stay always happy... remember?" H-He asked...
M-Man I'm starting to shake...
"Y-yeah..." i stutered as i kept m-myself from crying...
"so... please be happy... even if i won't be by your side for long"
his w-words...
...
I-i...
...
"i just... i-i just wished t-that this... c-could have been a-avoided" i s-shakily said...
"i know..."
"H-how are you s-so calm about this?"
"well..." he paused as he looks up at the blinking night sky.
"i... just accepted it... i know it's fine for me to live on the Afterlife... and i could meet Glaz and Dark too... Maybe even Rocky..."
"B-but... i-it will be hard f-for us to live on... w-without you!"
"well... maybe not for Curtana and Aivat... Marie and Max would understand... but..." He paused...
T-then he looks at me...
"you"
...
I know...
I can't lose another p-part of my family again...
...
I-i just...
...
Can't...
...
a-after hearing this i-i started bawling at the fence, making t-the wooden fence wet...
then a hug f-felt behind me...
then i hugged him back...
as my tears wet his body...
and my cry of a scared child...
...
this might have been the last time i have heart to heart with Alex...
and...
the last time i hugged him...
...
i wish the future could have been changed...
Olympia did say that i can...
but...
I'm not sure if i can...
if i made the wrong decision...
the world will...
...
...
then...
...
i should better have these last moments with Alex and the rest before it happens...
especially for Max...
i know i can't beat him...
but...
i might bring back his heart on us...
...
okay...
...
i need to get some rest...
it's getting dark.
//////////////////////////////////////
i heard there is a new Cable car in Couriway city... it has one of the most beautiful sceneries on Kalos! it's the perfect thing to Explore! but, i heard that the Cable cars are having some problem yesterday, let's hope that nothing goes wrong today.
"How much beautiful will the scenery be?" Max ask as i thought about it while on the way
"it will be amazing! just like the reviews said?" i replied
"What is a Review?" Max ask
"I'll tell you on the way," Alex said as he softly smiles at Max
"Okay!" Max replied with a big smile to
then i looked at the cable cars in the distance moving and hanging on a mountain, this is the mountain section of Kalos after all. and their location is... very high!
luckily there is an elevator to get up inside the mountain! the tower that holds the cable car is seen in the distance, it's like it was planted inside the mountain because it is! the way to enter the tower big elevator is to went inside the mountain! very cool huh?!
there are many people walking in and out at the entrance of the cave! it was well lit, and many new foreign souvenirs! with many buying them too! might as well check it out!
/////
"wow! this i delicious!" Marie said as she tastes the sweet bun
"yeah! and it's from another Region!" i complemented with joy, then i could see the Boothkeeper smiled
"Justin! look at what we found!" Max yelled at us from the distance with telepathy, i looked and see him waving at us from another booth with Alex. then i walk through the crowd to meet up with Max and Alex to see them on a Toy booth.
"Check this out!" Max said as he signaled Alex, then Alex picked up a giant Pikachu plushie... wait... it looks quite different... why is it fat?
"The Booth keeper said that it came from Galar" Alex explained
"and listen to this!" Max said as he pressed the belly of the plushie,
"PIIIIIIIII!"
the different Pikachu made a very low cry... it's quite funny.
"Wow, that's cute!" Marie joined
"i know!" Max said happily
"well, do you want to buy it?" i asked, then Max think about it for a while, when the booth keeper seemed to anticipate something from us...
"nope! i prefer food!" Max said
"Okay then, Alex. you can give it back" i order Alex
then Alex returns the Plushie to the Boothkeeper with a smile... but i know that the booth keeper heart is disappointed...
then i looked around to see some people looking at me...
(sigh) why can't i have some time normally...
"hey! let's go to the Cable car now!" i suggested them
"really? yay!" Max said excitedly
"but i wanna eat some more stuff in here!" Marie groaned
"We can get some more later after we go back" i added
"is it just me or are you eating too much?" Alex mumbled un quietly
"what did you just say!" Marie roared as her face turned pink, Alex flinched by the sudden roar
"hey-hey calm down, let's get to the cable cars first alright?" i added to avoid conflict
"fine!" she said as she faces away from Alex and blushed, while Alex sighed in relief
"oh! i can't wait!" Max said as he runs towards the elevator planted at the end of the cave
"hey! wait up!" Marie said as she chases after Max
"wait! slow down!" I yelled as i try to run after them with Alex
...
luckily...
things are still fine...
but...
...
when does IT happen...
I'm scared...
/////
a quite pulling noise is heard as the elevator lifts us and the window in front of us, with the other side, is the lit cave going down... well from our perspective, then after everything went dark with only the light elevator lights to keep it lit, suddenly... a huge view of Kalos flashes in front of us from the elevator... wow...
what a beautiful sight...
it's amazing that they built this only for a year...
and the cable is seen and connected to another tower...
the tower is located in the middle of the sea! very amazing! that place also holds an aquarium and research center! very cool!
so, we'll ride the cable car, land on that tower. then take a look at the aquarium, then we return home and call it a day...
as i think about it, the elevator stops smoothly, and the windows open as we're on a platform! Max and Marie excitedly went out, there is almost no one here... i wonder why...
the cable car has an automatic function, so... there is literary no one here...
hm...
as i thought about it, i went out of the elevator to feel a strong wind suddenly blows, opening my hoodie to reveal my black and short messy hair (maybe because of my hoodie)... my ember eyes shine as the sun sets...
wow...
"hey, you look fine without that hoodie" Alex complimented
"you know i wear it because i need to hide my self right?" i reply half annoyed
"yea-yeah... i know," he said as we look at the sun again...
"maybe you should stop hiding your self, you'll need some friends anyways" Alex suggest
"well... maybe..."
you know...
this is great...
"Wow! it's windy!" Max said happily as his appendage flows with the wind
"i almost can't hold my self!" Marie joked in the air as her cloth also waves by the wind
"This is great huh?" Alex said to me
"yeah... i wish it could always be like this" i said as i look down on the steel platform
"it's alright, we still have time. remember, we only need to fight one last gym, then we'll beat Diancie!"
"and your sister" i added as i looked at him and smile
"i know"
then a white black cable car just arrived as it stops right in front of us before it starts it's loop again.
"guys! it's here!" i yelled at Marie and Max as they still looking at the view
"Okay!" Max said as he runs towards the cable car
"wait!" Marie yells as she follows Max excitedly
then, the both of us walks towards the cable car
"thank you" Alex said
"your welcome... it's alright, we'll figure this out" i said as i showed my fist
"i know you will" he said as we punch our fist together to do a fist bump...
...
it's been years since we did that last time...
/////
"wow! look at that! i can see the place we just rest at!" Max said as he point's at something i can't really figure from the window inside the cable car, to be honest. Max has a very good eye sight, not like mine has anything wrong!
"yeah, i could see it... kinda" i unsurely said, then a bunch of flying pokemons flies near us as the cable car moves slowly
"hey! look! there's a lot of other creature!" Marie said as she looks out on the window
"quite rare to see these days" Alex mumbled
then a helicopter rotors was heard loudly as i look up to see it hovering near the cable car...
what is it doing up there?
it looks like the painting and sticker came from a rescue team...
wait...
rangers?
...
then, it flies away...
but luckily it doesn't scare the pokemon that flies towards west, which is the cable car is heading to!
"is it just me... or tha-"
"SCREEEEE!"
a sudden metal screech stops Alex from saying something...
the Cable car suddenly stops!
"what is that!" Marie said almost panicking
"I'm not sure..." i said as i try to calm the rest down.
"do you think this the problem that the cable car has?" Alex added
"what problem?!" Marie suddenly burst
"guys! calm do-"
"THUD!" a sudden thud and shake happened...
did something landed on the top?!
i see that there is still pokemon flying to the west...
oh no...
something did landed on the top!
i quickly look around the top to find the hatch...
there it is! without any question i quickly came to it, jump up the sit and quickly turn the lever on the emergency hatch to open it. after it opened up ways,
"what are you doing?" Max ask, but i ignored him and quickly pop up my head to feel A strong wind blows my hair as i was out of the cable car. i see the sun setting and the pokemon flying towards it. and the height...
wow...
i successfully climbed up and look behind me...
it's...
a Murkrow?
this pokemon makes the loud thud?
Alex then jumped and landed beside me, Max Climbs up as Marie flies through Max,
"that thing made the shake?" Marie ask, almost confused
"i hope it d-"
suddenly a giant dark dragon like figure landed at the end of the Cable car and...
it's a Noivern!
"what the!" Marie blurted
"get out of here!" Alex yelled at it, but it doesn't seem happy...
"this thing is mine!" the Noivern yelled,
then the intruder suddenly made a powerful ear blasting boom!
he's using Boomburst!
i quickly close my ears but it's too strong!
i can feel my skull and brain tremble!
i see Alex and Marie struggle to hold the blasting sound...
then...
i see Max walking towards him... it's like he doesn't even affected by the blast!
the Boomburst attack kept going, and i can't almost hear... the Max point's his palm at the Noivern, the Noivern seem scared
"SHUT UP!" he yelled with the hearing from telepathy as he blasted a gigantic Force palm the the Noivern!
the blast is so huge that it made me almost fell from the cable car and hit the rest of the flying pokemon as well!
...
the sound stopped...
i opened my ears to see the Alex and Marie still hurt by the blast...
the Noivern disappeared...
Max looked at me with worry in his eyes.
"are you alright?" Max said through telepathy since only my mind works...
"y-yeah" i unsurely said, not knowing what i said
"who is that weirdo!" Marie yelled,
"let's not worry about that... let's get back in" Alex added a point
then i looked at the hanger of the cable car...
...
it's...
bending...
...
"MARIE! LIFT MAX!" i quickly yell,
"CURTANA!" i yelled again as Curtana quickly grab Alex
"Justin! what are yo-"
"SNAP!"
the metal that hold the Hanger shatters...
Marie sees this and quickly lift Max with Psychic...
Curtana wrap over Alex and lifts him up in the air...
then...
i feel the ground disappears as i looked at my friends going up...
...
I'm falling...
...
i can see my friends yelled at me from above...
they are getting further away...
i can feel my hair dragging the wind as i fall of the Cable car...
i can see the glass shatters reflect the sun...
The waterfall falls with me...
That one quite reminds me of that day...
And the orange sky made this moment...
slow...
...
...
...
am i going to die...
...
...
i know that they can't help me anymore...
...
but...
...
He can...
...
i guess it's the time to call him...
...
...
...
"AIVAT! COME OUT!" i yelled as i opened my last Pokeball...
then...
a figure of a bird-like body stylized after a plane appears right on top of me...
the blue color of it's wings reminds me the day he saved me...
and the sharp crimson eyes that stares to my heart...
i reach my hand to it and it catches it...
I'm not falling anymore...
as i look up and see my old kept friend...
he is finally revealed...
...
the friend that saved my life once...
has saved me again...
...
He's name Aivat...
...
one of the remaining The Latios...
