Staring out into the storm, he feels the wind talk back to him. His whispers in it caused someone to talk back. 

''Your pain is only a way to show the true path. Your true happiness, did not lie in her''

His red eyes, hurt, angry, sad. All emotions are packed together into one big mess. 

''I never had happiness in front of me'' he whispers back. Feeling the wind scratch on his arm. He doesn't care anymore. 

He is now inside a cave, his new home. For what it is worth, it provides him the isolation he wants, needs, craves after he found out the truth. 

A tiny fire is in the midle of the room, with it's flames giving both light and warmth to the champion, now turned legend. 

Sitting down in front of it, he stares into the burning piece. His eyes sparkle as he orange flames burn. Blinking, he feels it. 

''I love you''

His heart aches, he clutches his head. Feeling pain enter his brain, he clutches harder, feeling it increase as he struggles to not remember. 

''I love you for all eternity''

Red: No! I don't want to remember! 

But to no avail. 

''Thank you so much for this Red. How can i ever be good for you?'' 

'' You don't need to be Misty. Cause we were meant to be, forever, and ever''

The scars become deeper, as he feels his eyes not being able to hold it in. 

''The stars, they're so beautiful''

''Yes they are. But, they're not as beautiful as you are''

Once, his arm was held by a warm loving hand. Now, it is full, of old scars, displaying now the scars left behind of those memories. 

His cheeks, get stained. Wet, by fresh tears. Salted, by his sadness. 

Red: No! 

His hands can tighten no more, his heart, can carry on no longer. He looks up, but sees no stone wall. Instead, he sees, Misty. Smiling, like nothing has ever happened. 

Feeling his rage, his sadness, everything he lost build up. He struggles to breathe, as his nose has gotten full of the ugly stuff. His tears fog his sight, but he knows who it is so clearly.

Red: w.why? 

No answer. She just stares at him with the smile, the smile that he once considered his. 

Red: Why?! 

His shout turns to a scream, filled with agony, filled with pain. His tears falling every other minute. Misty meanwhile, just stands there. 

Misty: the champion was not worth my time. 

Leaping forward, he crashes into the wall. trying to tackle down his former love, he ends up, with immense pain in his face. His sobs turn louder, as where Misty stod, was not real. 

Red: s.so. I was n.not worth your time?! 

His voice, that shattered voice, echoing in the cave. Yet as he can hear it, the shattering tune of his broken voice, he can hear no answer. 

Red: Then you better be happy at the end of this day! 

Rising up, he feels his cheek, salted and bashed in. Touching it, he feels what he already knows, extreme heat. 

Yet, his emotions, have turned him to a sollution he never believed he could take. 

Bursting out of his cave, the storm, restless as ever is still flowing over his domain. 

He can hear, everything. His awareness, increased after years of staying here, tells him what happens around. An Onix got into a brutal fight with a Steelix. Steelix, won the fight, by killing it's opponent. 

''brutality, only served by a killer'' 

Turning, he can see his throne, the peak of the mountain. At any time, he awaits his challengers, there he stands. Looking out towards the bottom, which he can never properly see. 

Every step, is heavy. The snow is always there, to remind him of it's presence. Coming to the peak, he looks down. The pit, is long. The view, is frightening. 

Staring towards the bottom, his heart, beating like crazy. He knows, he is afraid. He ventured here, to always know that he could never be afraid again. 

But, as he now knows, there is nothing left for him. He lost it all, when he found out, that the one person he loved, did not care about him as he cared for her. 

Then, he feels a shake. His pockets, his pokeballs. They shake, restlessly. But he knows, he cannot take them out, they would never allow him to do what he is going to do. 

A long breath is taken, another tear falls, as he feels it. He cannot go on. 

''I can't escape this pain. So i will free myself from it'' 

Then, he takes, one, fatal, step.
