Flash

He hears the flashing sound, magical and mysterious. It sends him, crying and sobbing, to a cold place. 

His vision, adjusting to the new terrain, he sees white. He can hear again. 

His body realises that he is not where he thinks he is, he feels something new unpleasant enter him, just like his pain, his sadness and his suffering. His hands begin to shiver, his fingers feel like they're stuck inside a freezer. 

As he looks up, he is at the peak of MT Silver, again. Why? Why does he have to see all of that? What does it mean? 

''Why?...Why do i have to see all of that again?'' he thinks, his eyes are slowly running out of tears to let go off. Burrying his face in his hands, he feels the same feeling everytime that happens. How placeless he is, how dead he is on the inside. How bad his life has become, after a single revelation that shook him to the core. 

Red: Why do you forsake me Arceus?! 

His scream reaches far on his domain. The snow moves from how powerful he is, every Pokemon shivers from hearing it, birds turn around on hearing it, and nothing else happens. 

He sets his sight on the peak. He could never trully sit there, and believe he was happy. His strength to move, is not there. He can only muster a tiny bit, to move to sit on the edge. 

His legs hangs out on the edge, he feels the cold wind make his whole body shiver. How every bit of snow scratches on his skin, how cold he really feels because of it. 

Red: Why...why do you forsake me in my time of need? Creator...I need a new path. 

His voice, cracking down with every word, reaches little but a whisper the more he speaks. Has he lost the ability to speak as now? Maybe it wouldn't surprise him, how lonely he really is could certainly take from him that as well. 

Closing his eyes, he feels his heart fall to the bottom of his stomach. Arceus, will not answer him. His calls for help, his screams for a way, his prayers for guidance, has never been answered. 

''I don't forsake you'' 

Red:...!

 That voice. Or was it a voice? Looking around himself, he can't see anything. The blowing winds cover everything. 

Red: I swear, i heard something. 

Looking down towards the white bottom, there's fog clouding the bottom. Did it come from there? 

''I merely awaited the right time.....To come to your assistance'' 

Then, a flash of golden light blinds him. He covers his eyes...feeling the light devouring him. 

''My champion. Do never forget who you are'' 

He wants to see, he wants to see the god himself! But the light is too strong for his eyes to adjust. 

Red: But..Arceus! Why am i here? What is this light? 

...

...

...

No answer. Slowly, his eyes manages to adjust to the light, it's stronger than any Thunderbolt he has ever seen. But, where is he? Looking around, he is...at the same spot he got blinded on. But, he can't feel the winds. It's like...they're gone from this world. A frozen moment, in time which cannot move. 

And there he is. The god himself. Arceus, standing majestically there, his whole appearance reeking of power. The creature he knows, as god, blinks. It's red eyes shine bright, almost blinding him again. It's four legs, standing like a statue. 

''Red, Ketchum'' it says, ''I have long looked on your rise to power, and your fall from grace. Your path equals nothing i have ever seen before, i have watched your tears pour. Your very soul broken in two, but only i know the future for you''. It's voice. So magical sounding, majestic, and most of all humble. The red eyed champion is stunned by how humble his god is for him. 

Red: b.but, what is my future? What path have you laid for me? 

Arceus looks on him, his look equals something he didn't believe a god could look like, remorse. The god looks a bit broken after seeing something sad. 

''I cannot tell you, but rest assured, it will be a grand future in difference to your rival Blue'' 

The answer causes confusion. What does he mean by that? 

Red: I...I don't understand...what am i to do that will be greater than him? 

''Remember this, my champion. Your path was always meant to be shaky, your path shared itself with someone who you could not trust, then you tore it away to it's own path again. But now, i see a future, overlapping with someone else's'' 

Red: ...

He can't believe Arceus's words. He doesn't really understand much of the wise man talk, but it sounds magnificent, how sure he is. 

''Now, i will see to that other paths will go their way''. Red then feels something new, he begins glowing. The frozen moment, begins living again. 

Red: w.wait! I don't understand! What do you mean by a future overlapping with someone else's?! 

Arceus, having turned around, sends Red one last look of compassion. 

''Your story does not end. A clue, is in what you call your domain. Farethewell, my champion''
