Unrevealed

"an accident occurred to a man at a cable car, in the location of Couriway city, a sudden failure at the cable car made it stopped midway, then falls down when it was overweight by an unknown pokemon. the man was almost hit by the falling cable car, only leaving scratches to him because of the shrapnel. luckily, no one was in the cable car itself as it cycles to each tower-"

i sighed in relief to hear it...

they did hide the fact that i was at that cable car...

I'm impressed...

the company begs for me to not spread the actual thing that happened, but luckily i did agree with them since i am trying to hide Aivat as well, so in the end...

they have another reason to hide it...

because of that one man that is walking close to that thing falling...

i wonder what would happened if i did die in there...

...

maybe my mom would freak out...

"Justin, why did they not tell what happened to us?" Max said beside me while I'm sitting at a comfy sofa

"well... i made them to not tell it" i added

"is it because of Aivat?" he asked...

i sighed...

"yeah" i said quite hardly...

"is the heater still on? I'm getting cold again" Alex said as comes to me and shivers because of the cold

"Sorry! i opened the window!" Marie yelled from the distance...

oh! also, we're at Snowbelle city! and we rented another fancy hut!

this time, it's a bit less fancy, and it the place is heated only by a heater... not really nice in my taste but at least there is a hot bath water in here!

i also skip the part when we walked through route 19 cause...

there's nothing really interesting happened there to...

"Justin, can i ask?" Max added when i was still watching the news

"what is it?" i replied

"where is Aivat going? why does he always go out by himself? can't we come as well?"

i was quite surprised that Max said that...

i remember Alex asked that.

"well Max... it's quite personal for him...

when he was old enough, which is twenty years old, he starts to search for his counter part or female version, Latias...

it was his destiny to have an offspring to keep the world protected by certain event's...

but...

he's been searching for a mate for a hundred years...

and not a long time ago...

an accident happen when a giant tsunami almost wiped out an entire ancient city...

when a Latios sacrifced himself to protected it...

in the end...

there is only 2 latios left confirmed...

including Aivat...

but for Latias...

only one confirmed on that ancient city...

which is why he needs to search for another one elsewhere..."

"but why can't he meet the one that ancient city?"

"it's because she already has a mate... which means that Aivat needs to find another one...

after a couple of years of searching... he coincidently find me trying to save a Bonsly on my old yard...

then he saved me from falling down a big water fall"

"like what recently happened! you are falling near a Waterfall too!"

"exactly"

"we're lucky that he accepted to be our friend... if not... maybe justin wouldn't be standing right here right now" Alex joined as he seemed warm

"well... i'm currently sitting" i joked

Alex smiles as Max giggled

"hey! who's going to fight the next gym for tomorrow! is it going to be me?" Marie suddenly added

"well... no...."

"Aw dang!" she curses as she flies back to the bed on the attic

"i think it's time for Max to battle for the first time" i added...

then Max looked at me with sparkle at his eyes, and the feel of hope and excitement.

"Really? he excitedly said"

"yeah! i think it's the time for you to battle, even though you have the biggest advantage"

"I'm fine with that!"

"are you sure about this?" Alex said through telepathy only

i nodded positively at Alex.

"oh! i can't wait for tomorrow!" Max yell cheerly as Marie comes to see how we're doing again

"Justin, what time is it" she asked

when i listened to her, i opened my compal and pressed the button to look on time...

well...

it's 1 pm...

exactly...

what a coincidence...

"it's still noon... i might as well go out"

"what?" Alex seemed shocked

"wait, can't you spend the money that the company gave you when you're at the accident?" Max added, i didn't think that Max knows about this

"oh, i already gave it to charity... i already have too much anyways" i said as i stand up

"where will you be going? it's cold out there" Alex said as he cross his arms

"well... i dunno... maybe just walk around the city i guess" i said as i put on the hoodie

"oh! i want to come!" Max said as he walks to me

i also picked up my bag...

then i am standing right in front of the exit and the entrance of the inn

"okay then, let's go" i said as i opened the door, letting the freezing temperature entered the house, i cloud see Alex shiver as the cold enters, while Max runs out to the snow

"hey look! the snow is falling slowly!" he said as he looked at the sky as each drop of snow lands on his muzzle

"yes, it is snowing lightly" i said as i exited the house, feeling the warming cold of the snow...

then i turned around to wave at Alex...

he looks at me quite disappointed to not get outside, then close the door...

i lost my smile there...

but suddenly a snow hit's my face lightly...

the cold that hit my face makes me stumble a bit, i looked at the direction where the snow hit me, which is right behind me. i see Max making a snow ball from his paw

"hey! what was that for!" i yell happily

"i dunno... it's just fun!" he smiles as he throws another snow at me, i blocked it with my arm. then i see Max laughed a bit...

at this point...

i don't care if he talks out here with people knowing...

this is just too fun...

i crouch down to make my own snowball then throw is at Max, he somehow catches it without breaking it, then throws it back at me.

this time, it hit's my face directly.

"hey! that's not fair!" i yelled joyfully

"haha!" he laughs again. then he runs towards the street with the thick snow

"hey! come back here!" i yelled playfully

"keep up!" he said as he kept running, i chased him with fun.

after a few running, i came up close and tackled him to the smooth snow...

after i moved away from him...

we're laying on snow together...

and looked at the blue sky...

i sighed as i smiled...

"this is fun!" Max said right beside me

"yeah..." i said relaxed...

...

...

...

...

then suddenly a figure blocked the sky...

it was Alex?

he is using the thick crimson red Fleece scarf that i gave him!

"Alex?" i said as i rise up to see Alex and Marie looked at us, Marie is using the purple indigo one too, but it's less thick.

"what are you doing here? i thought you wanted to stay at home?" i ask confusedly.

"i don't want to be scared at the snow... even though it's uncomfortable" he said as he cross his arms as he still feels cold

"what do you mean uncomfortable, it's soft!" she said as she noticed her hat tufts catching the snow

"yeah!" Max added as he rises up as well... then he looked at Alex and Marie and seemed confused

"what is that you're wearing?" Max added

"oh! it's the warm scarf that i gave to them a while back before we got to this city" i said to Max

"really?" Max said as he scratched his head, also getting rid of the snow on his ears

"well, i was about to give it to you when we're about to have a walk... well... it's not about walking anymore at this point" i said as Max giggled childishly.

then i stand up after brushing the snow of my jacket as i opened my bag, picking up a red Carmine colored Fleece scarf.

as i handed the warm scarf to him, he quickly stands up and takes it and only put it behind his neck.

i giggled as he was confused on how to tie the scarf like how Alex and Marie tied it. he tries to have that one lengthy hangged out behind him like the others do...

"here, I'll help you" i said as i smiled.

Max stopped trying to tying it and went closer to me. then i tied up his scarf like how the others are...

Max kept smiling as i tying it...

i can't stop smiling as well...

after i was done, he went to a nearby store with a large window and looked at his reflection.

he smiles when he sees the scarf on his neck

"wow! i liked it!" Max said happily, appreciating the Scarf

"and it's warm... but i do want a pink one" Max added as me and Alex laugh at his color preference

Pink! are you serious!

Marie only looked at me and Alex in confusion

"Why you want that color?" Alex added as i kept laughing

"it reminds me of pokepuff!" he added defensively

"it's alright, I'll buy you a new one" i said as i was done with laughing

"oh! no! you don't need to buy a new one! i already liked this one!" Max added quickly when i said that

"oh... ok then" i said as i noticed the one window that Max is standing right in front off... for what's inside the window...

it's a bunch of mega stones being sealed for quite cheap...

apparently they are modded so that even when you don't have enough bond with you pokemon, you would still be able to control them without any problem...

but rumors say that it brings pain to the pokemon when used because it was forced...

that's why it's cheap...

then a question came to my mind...

i asked Max.

"Max, can you sense something on those stones?" i asked

he nodded to me as he stares at the stones...

i waited for a while...

"hey! i can!" he said surprisingly

"what do you know about it?" i asked again, Alex seemed to be interested in it. so he comes closer to us

"well... there is a large power in it... but it's not pure" he said quite sadly

"how about mine?" Alex said, with hearing this. i quickly bring out the mega stone, showing it to Max, he looks at it for a while again...

"this one is pure! but... there is something else" he said quite confusedly

"what is it?" i asked for one more time

"um... I'm not sure" he said as he sigh

i put back the Mega stone as i feel happy but quite dissa[pointed as well

"alright... hey! i want to drink something hot! let's go to a cafe!" i said as Max perked up at the word 'Cafe'

"oh! can i have a hot chocolate!" Max said with excitement

"of course you can!" i said as i looked around for a cafe...

then i see the cafe with a similar design on Dendemille town...

wait! it has the same trademark!

i guess this cafe is spread around kalos...

"how about the same one!" i said as i pointed my fingers at the familiar cafe

the rest looked where i pointed and noticed it right away

"wow! it looks exactly the same!" Max said excitedly

"well... almost" Alex added his own opinion

"who cares! i just want to try that Chocolate!" Marie intrude as she flies towards it first

"hey! slow down!" i yell as i try to catch up. the rest followed with excitement...

...

this is nice

////////////////

i got out of the cafe feeling more warm, and Alex seems to be comfortable on the snow now!

"that drink is not that delicious... but it's makes me warm on the snow!" Alex said happily

"see, i knew that special herb tea makes you more comfortable in the snow!" i said with satisfaction

"yeah" Alex agreed

"that hot chocolate is yummy!" Marie said to us

"it's one of my favorites too!" Max added

then they chatter for a bit...

i looked at the time and...

oh! it's getting late, might as well go to the mall before the show started.

"guys! I'll go to the mall for shopping, do you all want to come?" i ask

"sure! I'll come!" (Max)

"Always by your side" (Alex)

"of course! what else!" (Marie)

i chuckle as i started walking

//////

the mall is...

crowded with people...

the place is enclosed and has a hefty amount of heater, making a comfortable temperature.

warm enough for the rest to take of their scarf...

except for Max...

"Max? you're still keeping that on?" i ask as i packed up the others scarf to my bag

"yep! it's comfy!" Max said happily

"ok then, you can use it for whatever you want" i said as i finished packing,

"this place is very crowded... are you sure we won't get separated?" Alex asked as he looked at the crowd of people walking

"i'm sure we won't!" i added positively

"alright! i can't wait to get some stuff!" Marie added excitedly

"let's not get separated in the first minute okay?"

"sure!"

we're all ready! time to do some shopping!

/////

"are you sure this pokefood is the best one?" Alex asked again to Max

"yeah! i can smell it too!" Max said through his Aura

we just came out from the local pokefood store, and Max decided the best one...

of course i carry the 2 kilogram/4,409 Pound pokefood while they are chattering...

after a bunch of wandering on the second floor with many people walking...

i looked to my left and see something that caught my eye for the first time...

there is a pendant showed on a dark room with only the light concetrating at it that interest me...

from afar...

it looks like it has some sort of blue crystal being hanged...

it...

interest me...

but looking at a sign by the dark door...

'No Pokemon Allowed Outside'

well...

...

i stopped walking as i kept staring at the pendant with other people still walking by me...

"Justin? what's wrong?" Alex asked as he stopped walking as well, the rest turned around to look at me as well

"oh... no... just interested in something" i said almost speechless... somehow...

"you want that thing?" Max said as he pointed his paw at the pendant i was looking at

"well... I'm not sure-"

"go ahead! buy it!" Max said happily with a smile...

...

"okay... you all wait here... i'll go get it" i said almost mindlessly...

only thinking about that crystal...

"what's wrong with him?" Marie said from afar

"I'm not sure" Alex said unsurely...

after i opened the dark door

all i see it a lot of other jewelry being showed on a transparent case...

and the room is almost empty...

like space empty...

how is this possible? the room seem like as if it's larger that it meant to be?

...

anyways...

all of them are pendants...

and each one has name on it...

the sapphire blue metal pendant with it's shape like a gear...

'Dialga's Chronos'

the Rose pink colored crystal pendant, the inside has some sort of sparkle like a space. the shape of the pendant is a sphere...

'Palkia's Quantum space'

and another one with what seemed like a golden arrowhead hanged...

'Arceus's Judgement Arrow'

all of these pendants...

are they-

"what makes you interest on my pendants dear visitor?" a feminine voice called in a soothing and ominous way...

a chill run down my spine by those words...

i turned around to see her standing right behind me, she wears some sort of cloak... with only a figure of a woman...

her face is covered in a shadow...

it feels like im in a different world...

"u-uh yeah! i-i would like to see the one showed in the front" i said with a forced smile

the cloacked lady only nods and disappears to the darkness! even the rest of the pendants being showed are gone as well! now all i see is darkness!

i can't even see the exit!

what is going on!

"is this what you request sir?" she said ominously again right behind me, i turned around to see her handing me some sort of wooden box

how did she disappear like that?

"u-uh..." i mumbled unsurely,

the box suddenly opens by it self!

it shows a grey crystal with the shape off a six-sided prisim center with six-sided pyramid on both ends... it's rather small but long on the prisim center.

and a metal bonding the crystal from the tip...

thus making it a pendant...

it's also laying at a red cotton placement...

seemed to be fitting actually...

"this is the last few remaining Aura crystal... it will change color depending on the aura it sense.. it says that it can give the user to control Aura... but only a true Aura bearer can use it to it's full potential..." she said with almost poetic like...

"i see you seek this crystal to keep you bond with a friend for eternity... right?" she said with a question at the end...

wait...

how did she...

...

never mind...

"yeah... can i have it?" i asked

"only if you ask me this question..." she said as the box closed it self!

"what do you see... in your friends?" she said as i noticed her crimson eyes glowing...

it's not a human eye!

it seemed like a predator eye!

who is she...

what is she!

...

wait...

i need to answer it...

"i see... a future... and... a family... i don't want to lose them... even if we need to leave our body... i wanted to see them thrive without any cause of the wretched humans... even if i am a human... i want to see equality... and justice... but i know they won't always show up... this world is unfair... but it can be fair in it's own ways... for what i see in my friends... is the potential to change the world forever... even if it might be the extinction of our kind..." i said with the bottom of my heart...

"i see... i will give you this pendant as the reward for your heart" she said as her eyes disappears again when she gave me box...

after i take the box out of her cloaked hands or...

i dunno...

claws?

Paws?

who cares...

she disappears again!

then a blinding light with a shape of a doorway opened...

it's the exit...

i walked towards the light with my self being determined...

"you might be wise about others... but not your own kind" the last voice of the lady spoke as i exited the darkness...

...

my own kind?

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Justin!" a familiar canine called from the distance, it's Max!

it just went out of the store!

well...

that's a weird store...

i'll give it six out of ten!

"Max! i bought you something!" i said as i run towards him

"what did you buy?" Alex asked

"well, it's a gift for Max" i added

"Again?!" Max said surprised

"yup! and it can help you in many variety as well!"

"really?"

"yeah!" i cheered as i opened the wooden box

Max looked at the grey crystal and seemed puzzled

"it's a pendant, the crystal can change color by the Aura it sensed!" i explained

"really? even now?" he said as the Crystal glows in Aqua Blue color...

it did worked!

"would you look at that. it did" Alex added as he sees the Crystal glowing

"that's awesome!" Marie adds as well

"wow..." Max was amazed by it, with out second thought he takes it...

the Crystal stopped glowing, but the color is still at the Aqua blue.

"i liked the scarf... but this is better!" he said as he untie the scarf he's wearing, then he puts the pendant over his neck... but the chain hoop is too small to fit his head!

"why doesn't it fit?" Max added as he kept forcing the chain through his forehead

"well... it might be for humans only" i said as i scratched my head

"what? you didn't thought of that?" Alex burst all of a sudden

"w-wait! i have another idea! how about you use it as a bracelet!" i said with fear and separation

"huh? that might work!" Max said as he now tries to put it on like a bracelet...

it somehow fits his wrist very well!

"hey! it works!" Max said happily as i sighed in relief...

"is it comfy?" Marie asked

"yeah! it is!" Max confirmed it...

...

huh...

i wonder if she made it like this on purpose...

...

suddenly a catchy tone with a sing of a foreign language heard on my pocket. it's my alarm!

i picked out the compal out of my pocket and it automatically turns on...

it's 8 PM!

"Guys! we got to go now! the show is almost ready!" i yelled as i followed the crowd heading out side of the mall

"wait for me!" Max yells on my brain as he runs to follow me, the rest followed me as well

"where are we going?" Marie asked Alex while i kept walking

"we're about to see a show... I'm not sure what it is" Alex said with thoughts still in his mind

as i kept walking with the crowd, a glass door was widely open as the cold winter wind comes inside the mall, thanks to the herb tea that i gave to Alex, he doesn't seem to be cold yet.

people are sitting at a very wide stone stair... even though they're all chairs

i decided to sit at the top... where i could see the rest of other people sitting in front of me...

then i noticed that Max sit's on my left, and Alex sits on my right. Marie then lands beside Alex...

then i looked at the stars...

anticipating the big event...

"what are we doing in here?" Alex said as he looked around

"just wait and see..." i said as i kept looking at the sky

"see what? i see nothing but sta-"

"BOOM!" a sudden colorful explosion burst in the air cutting Marie off guard as the rest flinches

"eeeeekk!" Marie squeal as she hides her head on Alex chest. Alex face turned pink all of a sudden

"M-Marie? what's wrong?" Alex rushed... puzzled on her reaction

"T-those... b-bangs!" she scarely said as she kept hiding on Alex body...

to be honest...

i am concerned...

"it's alright... it's just fireworks" Alex tries to calm her down... making his face normal again

"that was colorful!" Max cheered at the fireworks

"yeah" i said as another explosion with colorful sparkles linger...

Marie opens her eyes to look at the sky...

"BOOM!"

another beautiful explosion fills the sky with colors...

she was dazed by the colors that the explosion made...

"BOOM!"

the explosion goes on as Max stands up and hop happily as the firework show kept exploding

"this is amazing!" Max yells happily like a child as the explosion went on...

"it's... beautiful" Marie said... almost speechless

"yeah... it is" Alex said as he bravely put his arm on Marie...

...

the fireworks kept going...

...

it is beautiful...

...

we all kept watching the fire sparkles colorfully in the sky...

...

...

...

...

...

...

then...

...

it stopped...

...

but we kept sitting there with Max still standing...

...

then Max sits down again seemed satisfied...

...

people started walking away from that place...

...

"it's over?" Max asked me...

"yeah... it is..."

"that was amazing!" Marie added as well

"yeah... it's getting cold... let's head back home" Alex said...

it seemed like the herb effect is getting weaker...

"you can head back home right now... i'll stay here" i said as i kept staring at the stars...

"okay then... let's head back now" Alex lastly said as i hear them flying and walking away from me...

...

...

...

now...

...

i feel sad again...

...

...

(sigh)

...

...

can i take it when it happened...

will this change anything?

...

"Justin?" an voice suddenly calls...

i looked around to see no one...

but when i turned around...

i only see Max standing behind me...

"why are you staying here?" Max asked

"oh... uh... I'm just... taking a breather" i kinda lied...

"well... i think you are sad now..." he added quietly...

"huh... how do you know?" i said quietly as well

"i can sense your- uh... Aura... right?" Max asked unsurely... but still in a positive tone...

"yeah... of course" i said as i sigh and looked at the sky mindlessly...

then Max sits beside me...

"is there something wrong? you rarely get sad... it must be something bad... right?" Max asked...

"yeah... but i can't really tell you"

"..." Max opened his jaw a bit... but decided to stay quiet

"..." even i stay silent...

"why?" Max asked again

"... because it might change the future" i spat out... tired of hiding it...

"what happened in the future?"

"remember those gangs with black clothing, called team plasma?"

"yeah, i remembered!"

"well... they will take you one day"

"how?"

"I'm not sure..."

"..."

"they will somehow turn you againt's us..."

"do you know who i might hurt?" Max ask a question that stabbed me...

because in the end...

he killed Alex...

...

but Alex died for what sacrifice...

"you hurt... everyone... including you the one who changed you" i lied a bit again

"does that include you?"

"... yes..."

then for the first time...

i looked at Max and...

he's sad...

i see the bracelet he wears turns dark blue...

even i felt sad...

"but i don't wanna hurt anybody" he said losing his positivity

"does that include the bad guys?" i asked

"kinda" he said as he curled up to his feet

then something made in my mind...

"Max... when they kidnaped you... i want you to do something for me"

"What is it?"

"i..." i gulped in fear

"i want you... to be nice and positive to the kidnappers..."

"w-why? aren't they going to hurt me?"

"they can't... physically... and... if you try to get out in anger... you might change forever... including when you are saved... plus... they are smarter than we know... they might already have a plan if you retaliate... so... please be nice to them... in fact... you might change their mind... and please...

do it for your sake...

for the world...

for them...

and for us...

...

...

...

for me..." i said with pain and relief at the bottom of my heart...

"o-okay... I'll do it for you... for them... and the world" he said as he showed me a weak smile.

a tear run down my eyes as i hugged Max...

Max hugged back as well...

his soft fur reminds me of the day i cuddled with rocky...

i can't let go of him...

i just can't...

i don't want to lose him...

i don't want to lose anybody...

i-

i just can't...

...

not like what happened a long time ago...

...

without realization I'm sobbing at Max...

making his fur drenched with my tears...

...

"Boom!" A very late lone firework explodes colorfully in the air...

...

we're unfazed by it...

...

please...

...

i just want to hug you a little bit longer...

...

before we part one day...

...

"i can hug you forever Justin... just don't be sad if I'm gone... it makes me sad"

...

i know...

...

I'm so sorry...

...

I'm...

...

sorry...

...

"sir we're running out of time! we need to take it back now!"

"no... after he finished his last gym with it... it might help us to collect data of it's battle capabilities"

"are you sure he can handle it?"

"he'll be fine... he is a good trainer after all"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"you'll soon return..."
