Goodbye.....Electro Jones
*Hopes P.O.V.*
"Are you sure you don't want to spend some quality time with your dad, instead of tagging along with us?" Punkalina asked Sara, to which Julie added, "We don't mind you coming with us! We just thought you would want to reconnect with your dad....Since it's been three whole years since you two have last seen each other."
As my friends and I waved my parents, my other siblings, and Professor Sycamore off, Sara replied, "I've.....Done things, to innocent Pokemon, that nobody should have to do..... Not only do I need to face my demons, but I need to also make up for those I've.....Killed."
Punkalina patted Sara's shoulder reassuringly, causing Sara to tense slightly. I guess Sara doesn't like being touched by other people, like me.
Steven, Julie, Colin, Punkalina, Electro and Sara turned to face me, as Colin asked, "So where is your village.....That's been burnt down to bits, possibly my Mewtwo?" I facepalmed at my brother's attempt to be discreet about my destroyed village and killed family.
I held the map as I looked at it, answering Colin, "According to this map, Hibo is....Was....Located in the Lumiose Badlands." Steven placed his hand to his chin in thought, saying outloud, "Lumiose Badlands is on Rounte 13. The place is basically a dessert with a bad sandstorm; perfect for Mythical Pokemon to hide!"
"Let's get going." Electro spoke up, leading the way. I caught up to him, making sure Electro didn't go off the path as we walked. Looking towards Electro, I couldn't help but quickly look back to my map, blushing ever so slightly. Why was I feeling this way for him....?!
"Were here! Lumiose Badlands!" Julie declared, as we looked out towards a barren wasteland. For miles upon miles, there was nothing but sand and cracked earth. In the far distance, I managed to see ravine mountains, they looking like the ground but raised towards the sky.
For several minutes, we stared at Lumiose Badlands as if it were a alien Pokemon. Finally, Punkalina asked, crossing her arms over her chest, "So, are we just gonna stand here and waste precious daylight, or what?"
Colin breathed, "It's so big! It's gonna take days for us to find Hopes village!" A weird feeling formed in my gut. I feel as if I've been here before, but I don't entirely remember how. Looking to my right, I walked over to a overgrown bush and used my Fairy powers to push them away.
Sure enough, just as I had remembered, there was a small narrow dirt path leading though some thorn bushes. Smirking to my friends, who looked surprised at my discovery, I asked, "You guys coming?" Once I made sure they were following me, I went it.
The thorn bushes and the path was a bit of a issue to get through. Not being maintained by man, many of the thorn bushes had grown over the path, but on the ground and in the air. Heck, several times we had to go back several feet just to go a foot into the path.
Finally, what seemed to be like hours, we managed to get out of the thorn bush covered path. And as soon as I saw what remained of my village, I fell to my knees, tears threatening to fall down my face. Like Uncle Monty said, there was nothing left. Nothing but burnt wood and a some bone. Some of the houses looked as if they survived the attack, but they had been hurt to a crisp.
"Wow...." Julie breathed. Electro looked around, his eyes wide as he whispered, "Wow, this village has been through a lot." Colin added in shock, "No one could have survived this!" Smirking sadly, I got back up and said, walking forward, "I did." Out of respect for my family, my friends followed me quietly, allowing me to take it all in.
I didn't see a burnt down village with a small broken up stone wall surrounding the town. I saw my houses painted to match the grounds color. I saw a small rock wall, tall enough to keep the sandstorms at bay, yet small enough for kids to climb up over.
"This use to be a place of happiness and peace," a voice suddenly spoke up, causing us to spin around to the only well located in the town. I breathed, "Jirachi." The Wish Pokemon floated over to us, telling us mentally, "The town would celebrate with laterns whenever someone joined the village or when a child was born.... Especially one with powers."
"Like me?"
"Exactly like you, Hope Livingwater." Jirachi touched my star scar, causing it to glow brightly. I smiled sadly at it, before I looked up towards the Pokemon. Curiously, I asked, "Why did I survive when everyone else died?"
Jirachi sadly smiled at me, replying, "I will tell you all you need to know....Later. Right now, it is time Electro Jones goes home." My heart broke. I looked towards Electro, who looked like he was struggling with the information.
"I'll let you say goodbye." Jirachi stayed quiet, as my friends and I surrounded Electro. Steven shook Electro's hand, telling him, "It was nice meeting you, man." "Same." Electro nodded his head. Julie sadly hugged her Skitty, saying, "Take care, Electro."
The boy from the past timeline nodded. Punkalina fistpumped Electro, while Colin clapped his shoulder. Pikachu, Eevee, Mimikyu and the other Pokemon hugged Electro, causing him to smile sadly.
Now it was only me and Sara left. Sara hesitated before she passed Electro her Squirtle, ordering him sadly, "Take good care of him for me, alright? Stay safe." Sara hugged Electro before she pulled back.
I was nearly in tears. Electro turned to face me, as I sadly walked up to him. Instead of making things awkward by hugging him, I gently socked his shoulder and whispered, "Go kick Lysandre's butt, OK?" Electro giggled, nodding as he said, "I'll do that."
Electro stepped in front of Jirachi, facing her. For one final time, he looked back at us, a small smile forming on his face. Softly, afraid my voice would crack, I whispered out to him, "Goodbye....Electro Jones." Electro sadly looked towards me, a beam of light forming around him and his Pokemon, including Squirtle. Electro Jones was shot up into the air, the beam of light disappearing a few minutes later.
Now that he was gone, I wanted to cry my eyes out. Punkalina, the same person who had teased me for falling in love with a time traveler, hugged me. Breaking down, I let my sister imbrace me as I cried for a long....LONG.....Time.

And Electro Jones has gone back to his timeline..... Wow. Electro does not belong to me, but instead belongs to TheFlash832, who has been making a Pokemon book as well. I suggest you go and check his work out! I hope you like and enjoy!
