1 everyday...
...
Gallade...
his eyes is weak...
his body is weak...
and his mind is weak...
...
And his Gallant heart is broken...
he knows he needs to move on...
but he can't...
he knows that he can't...
with the feel of life, he opens his eyes to see a Glass pane that can project pictures, he remembers that he slept on the place where his old friend mostly sits at...
with heavy feeling he rises up, feeling great hesitation...
but in the end, he hung his head looking at the pale ceiling...
empty and confused on what's next about life...
...
"is there anything i could do?"
the lost being questioned himself
"no... he's gone..."
a sudden howling whisper enters his mind.
"you failed... he won't forgive you!"
a faint shout haunts him.
"you're a failure! no use! he doubted you man... he's dead! burn yourself! i can't believe you left him, Die! not so tough heh? he was weak, you are supposed to be for a replacement! you rotten being! i should have left you! there is only despair! empty as always, aww... are you crying? look! a loser! you are out matched! is it fair? Get away from me-"
a cluster of words enters his head non-stop...
as he understands each of them...
his emotions is gone...
...
"Hey!"
a familiar voice suddenly makes all of the words disappear...
"let go of me!"
it was him...
"wait- AAAAHHHHH!!!"
his last words...
that burdens in the poor being heart...
he hoped he can do something else that time...
How much he regretted it...
as his mind is quite again...
a feel of hunger fills his mind...
"i should eat"
he said to himself...
somehow his body is now cooperating with his mind...
nothing can stop hunger...
as he dragged himself towards the kitchen, a stack of berries on a basket have catched his eyes...
there is beautiful flowers around it...
He doesn't who it is from...
probably a gift...
For a sign of loss...
without anything else to do, he picked up an unfamiliar berry...
and taste bitter as he consumes it...
"... i don't like it"
the being cursed it for the first time...
...
"hey!"
a sudden change of tone fills the room as Gallade turns around to see his roommate...
Lucario...
his only last true friend...
unlike the rest...
"what are you eating? is it delicious?"
the curious and positive canine asked as it tilts his head.
"no..."
the depressed being said.
"really? i guess that berry is not your type!"
still positive as he always does, even with the loss...
the Gallade grunts as he finishes the bitter berry.
"oh! so you do like it!"
the Canine said happily
"yeah"
he lied
"ok! i'll get some too!"
he wants to have a quite moment...
there is one...
"i'm going to take care of the garden"
Gallade said with a heavy tone
"ok! i'll help you later!"
it says as it bites the red fruit.
with the energy he have obtained, he walks towards the guest room through the dining room, then opens the door as a bright light shines at him.
the sun is smiling at him...
"ugh..."
he grunted, still not motivated.
with sorrow stabbed on his mind, he takes a hand sprinkler that's already filled, and started watering the joyful plants, and gives more air clearance to the being helping them...
even with the gift...
Gallade didn't change...
"oh! you are already watering the plants!"
the Lucario said with a smile, hoping for the nice response.
"i am"
the Gallade said, continuing giving the plants more water
"ok! i'll cook some pokepuff for you!"
the canine said, getting back inside his dead friend house...
...
"is there something else that i can do?"
he questions himself.
"no! just stay there! i don't want that to happened!"
the voice that's planted in his heart suddenly replied.
"yeah! you wont make it! i-i'll do it for you!"
another voice that is dear to him said...
the one he liked personally...
without realization, he drowned a plant. giving to much water to it...
he feels much more worse seeing it...
...
he can't continue anymore...
he doesn't want to hurt anything else...
...
except from them, the one who took his friends...
...
"i should better meet Lucario again"
he said to himself again, as he placed down the hand sprinkler and enters the house.
after closing the barrier to the outside world, he sees a few puffed flour with creamy toppings already set at the table, with a the blue colorful canine already waiting for him.
"you're back! i've already prepared you the pokepuff!"
it says happily
"thanks"
he reply with a little joy, grew in his heart.
he can't deny the treat that his friend made, it was too good for him to ignore.
he takes one lightly and takes a bite at the sweet flavored treat.
he smiles a little... bringing back great memories...
"i didn't know you can cook?"
the familiar sound said positively
"i guess i can!"
the voice of Lucario said inside him
"i'm proud that you can make one, it will be much more efficient for us"
his own mind said, following a story
"hey! you know i could just buy them!"
his friend said on what almost sounds like a tease
"it's good right?"
reality kicks in inside the mind of Gallade, as he realized that his alive friend asked him a question.
"yes... it is"
he said with a smile he can give.
"hehe! maybe we can even start a cafe!"
the Lucario said a ridiculous question that will never came true from him.
"..."
he replied with odd silence
"Huh? Don't you think it's a good idea?"
The canine asked again...
"..."
Gallade ignores the thought and takes the empty dirty plate, and heads towards the kitchen... not moved by an inch by his friend words...
"Hey..."
The canine calls weakly...
The being only starts to clean the dirty ceramic as the sweetness that have left, drown in the sink...
Seeing the water flow through the plate made Gallade wonder...
"Will i ever move on?"
He questioned him self...
Then a glass echo howls the kitchen as he turns towards the window to see a familiar silhouette... but it's much more skinny...
"J-jus-"
The gallade stuttered in dibelief, as the figure quickly dashed away from the window
The creature gasped as he notice a feel of hope.
He drops the plate, crashing it.
"What the!"
The canine suddenly shouted in shock.
With ignoring the broken plate. He quickly runs towards the guest room and bashed the door open, leaving a metal lose...
"Where are you going!"
The call of a friend who he ignore...
And sees a new objective in his life...
To See his friend once more...
Just...
Once...
He runs through the fighting human crowd, letting the familiar figure to run ahead of him...
"Wait!"
He shouted with hope and despair...
Until a tough bump made him stumble towards the ground...
"Hey! Are you ok?"
The unknown said with sorry.
Ignoring the help, he quickly gets up and kept running...
Is this the sign of hope he searched for a long time...
It wasn't even a year...
Only days...
And it felt like eternity...
...
The being stopped running as he realized something...
he's gone...
He looks around the mob of people doing their own business...
With no any kind of sign...
...
"No... No..."
The creature... traumatized of losing him again...
"No... No... No... No..."
He started shaking and kneel at the ground...
"No... No... NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo-"
Tears started drowning his eyes...
"NoNoNoNoNONONO-"
He felt his brain melting...
"H-Hnnnngghhh..."
Pain, stress, trauma, nightmare, suffer-
"G-Gaaahh..."
Despair, darkness, hatred, loss-
"L-Laaeee..."
...
...
...
FEAR.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
