Someone finished Explorers of Sky

[rendshipismagic]

You can stop crying now, mun. I know we all had our happy ending, but you might be taking it harder than any of us. It's going to take a lot of work, but I'm glad that we have a future to rebuild. So many Pokemon were lost to the darkness, but the morning sun has cleared them all away and now Grovyle and I-

(She blushes up a bit.)

...On second thought, you can keep crying. I don't mind <3

still can't get over that user name

[juuichi_yosamu]

It's been a while.

[For him, anyway.]

<3

[rendshipismagic]

It has? It doesn't feel that way, but mun tells me this place's time is more warped than what Primal Dialga did.

How have you been?

[juuichi_yosamu]

Well, I've... been stuck elsewhere.

[And dead.]

I'd say it rivals on something Palkia would do if he got irate. But you say that... everyone survived?

[He's not even going to question it too hard; it's pretty obvious that, however things played out, he didn't get the same happy ending she remembers him getting. Or something.]

[rendshipismagic]

Of course we did, silly. Me, you and Dusknoir. Even Dialga came back to his senses.

(Best not to tell her that part. She would be utterly heartbroken if she knew her favorite reptile is dead.)

Stuck? Grovyle my dear, have you been rushing into things again? I thought we were going to take the time to watch the sunrise more often.

[juuichi_yosamu]

I... suppose I didn't have much of a choice.

[Okay, mun, you could have told him there was a deus ex machina pulling his foliage out of the fire. He doesn't really reply to that second comment, looking away rather hesitantly. He's been taking those sunrises for granted, without her there.]

[rendshipismagic]

(It was a gentle reminder that hey, Arceus gets involved only when He wants to. Which means whichever is most convenient for the plot. Generally a good thing to keep in mind.

But the hesitation instantly draws her concern. This was supposed to be a happy reunion...right? Celebi flies a little closer to him.)

...It's been a long time for you, hasn't it?

[juuichi_yosamu]

Too long.

[Long enough to be a little painful.]

I didn't think I'd see you again.

[rendshipismagic]

Grovyle...

(Unfortunately, there isn't much she can say that could cheer him up. It can be pretty hard snapping him out this mood when he gets like this. She gives him a warm hug.)

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Yeah, words...words aren't coming right now. Just tugging the smaller pokémon close into a hug.]

[rendshipismagic]

(Words aren't really a thing for this moment. Just the imprinted thought of things getting better one day and the hug serving as a reminder. No psychic necessary.

Here, she wants to tell him how she feels as if confessing would make everything all better, but as before, she can't bring herself to utter the right words. Or much that's close enough to getting the point across.)

I...I'm glad we can still spend time with each other.

[staff_of_destruction]

[Hm, what do we have here?]

[rendshipismagic]

(Oh look, a human. It's been a while since she's seen one of those. We're talking pre-game while, so that's pretty long. Not that it warrants any particular reaction out of her, or anything; just means it's not the typical flinch and stare in curiosity.

Though she is kind of looking in his direction.)

Hello.

[staff_of_destruction]

Celebi. I did not know you existed within the Unova region.

[rendshipismagic]

Are you saying I shouldn't be here? We share the same world, don't we?

[staff_of_destruction]

I never said that. I am just intrigued as to why a Celebi is within the Unova region. I have never seen one before.

[rendshipismagic]

Mun is showing me around now that things back home have been resolved. I have a few things back home to do, but stopping and seeing your work helps with the motivation, you know?

[staff_of_destruction]

I see. What things back home?

[girlfriend_beyond]

My mun just squeed internally. I'm not sure why.

[rendshipismagic]

Because your mun is clearly awestruck from beholding such legendary cuteness. Tee-hee!

(Clearly.)

[girlfriend_beyond]

That's... actually pretty close. And you definitely are cute.
