Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 53: Future*

I've waited in front of the gates of Victory Road... waiting for Calem to show up. I kept trying to close my eyes to sleep, trying to at least talk to someone who can calm my nerves down, but I'm just so nervous to fall asleep! It's a bit annoying now that I've gained my emotions so strongly that I don't know how I handled being nervous back when I was my old self

"W-where is he..?" I took a deep breath and looked at the new keystone in my hands, gripping hard on my blue shirt, thinking back at the dream I forced back at the lake

"Everyone learns differently in their own ways! Whether it's me who taught you, or yourself, or even someone else, your heart is what deals with every bit of confusion your brain doesn't understand. Your brain didn't understand, but it's when we touched that your heart went numb, yet it performed your emotions well without your awareness..." Mesprit told me "I had taught emotions to humans long ago, and they bloomed to create their own. I've watched them perform their own life, their own choices. Even if they're not the ones I gave them, the bad... it's what they created. You were able to make your own emotions. That time... when you laughed..?" It was talking about when I laughed at Calem having cake on his face "the both of you shared a empty heart, so it was natural to want to fill it. It might not make sense, but I was the one who took Calem's emotions away. Again... this was an accident. The reason why I knew you knew him was through this world. That stone I gave you, give it to the one you want to share your heart with... now that it's pure again, it can accept anything. Even..." it pointed at my keystone before I woke up

I kept trying to calm myself, but there was no use. I cupped my face and screamed into my hands before feeling his aura come closer. I looked up, gripping on the stone to offer, hard

"Keystones give the ones who can use it special abilities. Just like you're able to enter the dream world, Calem has gain his own abilities when holding this very keystone" that's when Mesprit held my keystone "he may not have the ability to use this keystone... but this stone on your neck, he gave it to you from his only remaining life in his heart. The rock in your hands, I made special..."

How did I not catch that? What it gave me was a rock at first, but how did I not put the pieces together to know what it gave me was a keystone. A part of his heart... can he actually use it?

It didn't take long for Calem to jump off his Pokémon and hurry on his feet, putting too much of a rush and accidentally ran into the dirt. Something bubbled inside of me, causing me to laugh hard. It felt refreshing to laugh like this again... I could see him look at me all surprised. Even if my heart was dull when I was young and when we met, I manage to laugh because we were the same and felt something towards each other. That's why I felt something the first time I met him back at Vaniville town

"I'm sorry" I giggled "I shouldn't be laughing" I helped him back on his feet and moved the dirt from his face "oh!" I frowned at how skinny he's gotten "I haven't been gone for that long... how are you loosing body fat so quickly?"

"I... don't know. When you left, since I knew killing did nothing to fill my void, all I could do was sit there and do nothing" he looked down "you... came back... rather quickly" I nodded and took his hands

"Yes... I've gotten myself together! I'm a new person now!" I smiled "The trip to Sinnoh helped me a lot. You see, I was going to stay in Sinnoh, but after what happened, with meeting dad and a few other people, it was easier to open my eyes" I held my heart "I even know how we lost our emotions"

"You have?" I nodded

"I've gotten myself together... and it's someone I've always wanted to be. I don't hold so much anger anymore. I feel so happy and free now" I placed his cold hand on my cheek "I'm going to go by a different name now, the one my dad had always called me by. Sakura"
