It was night, and the 5 camped out in the woods. They were so close, So CLOSE! But she was scared that if they push themselves too much. It might make Charlie weak, or worse...

Snowflake helped Gumaz start a fire as she and Charlie sat together. Charlie seemed to be shaking, looking like he would collapse any moment. Snowflake sighed, watching the 2 Rockruff siblings talking with eachother while the oversized Salandit stays beside the fire. Snowflake turned to Charlie with a worried expression on her face.

"Charlie... You... You okay?" She asked, Charlie didn't reply.

"I-I'm fine Snowflake... D-Don't worry." He replied with a cough,

Snowflake felt her heart sink deeper into the darkness. She could feel the tears forming up. She could feel the pain Charlie's feeling. She looked away from the beast, closing her eyes as she began to tear up.

"Snowflake... D-Don't cry. I know y-you can cure me. I believe i-in you." Charlie said, pulling the Vulpix close to him, wiping away the tears in her eyes. Snowflake was speechless, her eyes widened, looking at the creature as she hugged him.

"I-I won't loose you! I promise!.." Snowflake exclaimed, tears forming hin her eyes. She felt Charlie's heartbeat while hugging the Null. While the 2 were having a moment, Gumaz, Skie and Kuni watched. Skie seemed to tear up, Kuni looked and felt bad for Snowflake, and Gumaz was just... watching.

"This is kinda emotional, don'cha think?" She was cut off when Skie threw a rock on her face, knocking her out.

The Next Day, The gang headed out to find the Ruins of Life, they walked around the forest, searching for any path to lead them to Tapu Lele. Snowflake sighed sadly, looking behind her to see Charlie walking weakly with Skie by his side. Kuni caught up with Snowflake, and saw her dull expression.

"Hey whats the matter Snow?" Kuni asked, but Snowflake didn't reply.

"Lemme guess, it's about Charlie huh?" He asked once more, Snowflake then nodded. Looking down on the ground while walking.

"You dont understand Kuni. Charlie's life is in danger. And I'm just crying my heart out here." She said with tears on her eyes, "I'm such a cry baby..."

"Well who says?! You're not a Crybaby! Listen, who got rid of Necrozma when you saved my sis?!" Snowflake didn't reply just yet, she took and deep breath and said:

"Me, but-"

"And who stood up for Charlie against the thugs?"

"Me..."

"And who gathered her courgae up to find Tapu Lele?!"

"Me... Me! It was me!" Snowflake said, with a small grin on her face. She saw Kuni walked pass her and blocked her way.

"Exactly! Don't give up Snow! If it weren't for you, my sis would've been lost in the woods and got her life taken away by Necrozma! If it weren't for you. We would have never met!" Kuni said, poking Snowflake's chest lightly with his paw. Snowflake moved his paw away and smiled.

"Thanks Kuni..." she giggled,

"Guys!!! Great news! Great news!" Gumaz said, running to Snowflake and Kuni.

"You found another flaming rose?" Kuni asked nicely, only to be slapped by Gumaz's tail.

"No! I found the ruins of life! Its just up there!" Gumaz pointed through the bushes as they saw behind it the entrance to the ruins of life. The place where Tapu Lele can be called is just ahead of them!

"The ruins! Its just right infront of us!" Snowflake exclaimed, but she stopped when she saw Charlie's body entirely grey. His eyes looked weak, his legs were shakey, and finally he collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. Snowflake's world just turned upsidown. She couldn't believe it, Charlie he's... he's...

Dying...

"Charlie!" Snowflake ran to the Type:Null, with nothing but fear consuming her mind. Skie, Kuni and Gumaz gathered around him. Each sharing slight gasps of horror as they saw the beast wheezing in pain on the ground.

"Snowflake... I... I..." Charlie said in a fading tone,

"I'm sorry..." Charlie whispered before closing his eyes, his breaths grew short before painfully wheezing and coughing, making the 4 jump. Snowflake teared up, feeling like she can't move her legs. But she shook the feeling and tried to get Charlie up, or atleast try to help him up just to get inside the Ruins of Life.

"Guys! Cmon, we have no time to waste!!!" Snowflake yelled,

The 3 nodded and helped Snowflake up, the gang all went in the ruins of life. It almost felt like forever to get in the ruins, when they were inside Snowflake felt a strange presence as they continued to find the Tapu.

She saw a dark figure, a figure infront of her, and a few mysterious pokemon by her side looking injured and defeated. She looked back, and the figure was infront of her. Its humongous arms with its razor sharp claws spread open, she took a step back. She hit something, what was it? She looked back to see Charlie laying behind her, looking injured and beaten up. She gasped and turned around, but before she can let out a scream. The figure attacked.

"Snowflake! I see a light!" Snowflake snapped back into reality as she saw Skie pointing to the light. It was like the end of a tunnle, she ran quickly, with Charlie by their side as they went out of the never-ending tunnel. She opened here eyes and saw that they were on an edge of a cliff or something. It showed a view of the ocean, and the sun right infront of them. There were flowers blooming at their sides, and on what it seems, the ground had a Tapu symbol, looking like Tapu Lele. But now wasn't the time to admire this place, they were running out of time! Charlie's breaths were growing weaker and weaker, and Snowflake had to do something, she yelled Tapu Lele's name several times, trying not to stop so she can get the tapu's attention.

"Tapu Lele! Tapu Lele! Please! We need your help! Please!!!" She yelled, tears streaming down her face. It was over, no one replied. She felt her hope was lost.

Until she saw something flying in circles around them, and when the thing came down, it was the guardian of Ulagonu town, Tapu Lele.

"Hehe~ hello there! I'm Tapu Lele, why are you here?" The tapu asked with a happy expression on her face.

Snowflake knew that if she does a wrong move or says anything wrong, things will get ugly. Snowflake looked at Charlie and the 3 around him. She took a deep breath, and faced the Tapu.

"Oh great Tapu Lele, we need yoyr help..."

...

Charlie's dying...
