EPISODE 108: Telling the Truth!*

That was a sudden if you were to ask me. I thought I was going to visit a new region today, well I guess I'm returning to the old land of Johto. Hey? At least I get to see someone whom I've missed. Kris, the first-ever trainer who befriended me. I wonder how she's doing but then again, even if we are friends, we're really not that close.

Another saddening thing is that Charlotte doesn't get to come. That is by far, the worse thing that could ever happen. How could I not have my other friends with me to Johto? Well, the orders of the executives are always strict and firm, and knowing the ship is about to dock here in a few hours at the port of Snowpoint Island, I'm going to have to fix my things and sooner or later, tell everyone about this.

I walked out of the room and gave a smirk to the twins as they grinned back and entered their room. In a slouched posture I walked back to my room when suddenly I heard Charlotte's voice in my head again.

She gave me a wave and a smile as she asked, "So? What's up? Why did Virgo call you?"

I shrugged my shoulders at her and continued my way to my room. I don't have the energy right now to move or do any answering or replying. Seeing my reaction at her, she immediately pouted as she ran to me in a furious manner.

"Excuse me?!" she blocked my path and gave me a pout. I stared at her with an expressionless face, having no mood or whatsoever as I tried to pass her. She would block me, however, not letting me pass through. We went on and on as my patience was pushed to the limits.

"Hey? What happened there? Your face looks like a person who was somewhat fired or something. Ah?! Don't tell me you were fired from Team Rocket?!" Charlotte gasped and entered a shock expression as she assumed.

I immediately moved my head sideways.

"Then what? Tell me! Please!" she rubbed her head on my chest. She then gazed at me with her baby doll eyes.

"I-I'm going back to Johto."

"Great! We can both-"

"T-the, exe-executives want me only."

She was speechless. She had a frown on her face she constantly moved her head back and forth on my chest while I petted her like a puppy.

"That's a joke right?"

"No."

"At least we still have how many days, exactly?"

"Hour-hours, actually."

"What?!"

"Ship's c-coming in one. I-I'm going to m-my room to fi-fix my st-stuff." I continued to saunter to my room.

I didn't know if she felt depressed or something but for some reason, her exuberant and live spirit was gone as she followed me to my room, having the same slouched posture as I am. She volunteered, "Let- Let me help you fix your stuff. It would be much quicker." I can hear her sniffing, as if she was crying.

Inside my room, she helped me fix my luggage. My clothes, my toys, I still play with toys, and my other accessories and designs were carefully removed from the tables and desks they sat upon. I folded my curtains, took my shampoo and toothbrush. Meanwhile, my Pokemon helped out, keeping their things and stuff.

Absol kept her plushy, Mismagius played with her little bouncy ball before keeping it, Salamence, I just kept her inside her Pokeball since she's extremely big to fit, Mawile played with her maracas, and there is Gardevoir who had her lovely red jewel. Sigh, the saddest part about leaving is that the memories I had will always stay here. Sinnoh was a great adventure, I was so pleased that I've participated in such a mission even if we failed.

"I-I need a moment," I told Charlotte and dashed to the bathroom.

There, I let all my tears out for the countless time in a row as I thought to myself, "From here on out, I won't have you as my Pokemon, partner in missions." I blew my nose with a tissue and washed my face with water. Change, it was time for me to do so as I glared at the mirror intensely.

Her flower, I held it tightly and replacing the frosty one she gave me a few months ago. With her violet flower on my hair, I will always know that she's with me. Suddenly, I felt an embrace and a hand that was touching my heart. This made me sob further as clenched the sink tightly. After that minute of sobbing, I went out of my room to continue my work.

The first thing I saw was my Pokemon staring at me, or rather gazing me in pity. Gardevoir, Misdreavus, Mawile, and Absol, all four of them had tears sparkling in their eyes. They too, just like me, missed Lily so much. Well, who wouldn't be sad to learn that a sister of them is dead? To comfort them, I smiled, trying to hold my tears in front of them.

The return to Johto with only five Pokemon, I guess a new sister or sisters awaits us soon enough.
