"(You aren't going to give up, are you? Chosen One?)"
Ash didn't react to the voice in his head, thinking that it was an aftereffect of using too much aura. It was over for him, no need to discuss with an imaginary voice anymore.
The feeling of loosing control became stronger and Ash caressed the skin of his dragon-like Pokémon before he muttered a careful 'Thank you ..' to him. Deep down he didn't want Charizard to witness it, but he hadn't enough power to leave on his own.
"(You can't just go like Lucario, because you belong into this time, don't you?)"
Again, Ash heard this voice in his head and different from before, it was clearer and louder. Why was it talking about Lucario?
"(I won't allow you to die Ash, not after you saved me and the tree of beginning!)"
Ash could do what he wanted. It's his life and for him, life became a burden that was too much to carry anymore. He didn't want to survive, not after he learned that he was too weak.
"(It seems it's time to take action!)"
Suddenly Charizard couldn't control his own movements anymore and his wings were frozen. After this, the dragon was magically moved into another direction, aiming for the Hoenn region now.
At first, Ash didn't notice the change of direction, but what made him suspicious was the blue light around Charizard. His Pokémon didn't use aura, so why was he enveloped by the same light as he was?
"(I told you Chosen One: Your time isn't over!)"
Slowly but surely Ash was annoyed by that imaginary voice and he should have already been vanished by now. Could it be that the voice wasn't pure imagination. Nevertheless, Ash didn't want that someone decided for him.
"Get out of my head! I don't want to survive and don't dare to decide for me!" Ash demanded with the most threatening voice he was capable of at the moment.
"(We didn't wait thousand years for you to be born, so that you throw your life away like that!)"
"It's none of your business! I don't want to live anymore, I just don't want to ..." The first tears rolled over Ash' cheek again when he remembered the reason for his mood. May.
"(We already met twice, but I admit that I act very childish back then.)"
"Twice? The only Pokémon that could speak with me were Mewtwo, Lugia and Lucario, however, I met Mewtwo once, Lugia twice and Lucario once. Besides, like you said, Lucario is gone ..."
"(Oh right, you can't remember the first time we met ...)"
"Stop this nonsense! Don't be in my way and accept my fate!" Ash suffered much longer than he expected, feeling still the pain inside his heart and body.
"(You can't know your fate until it's revealed at the end of your journey. And THIS isn't the end of your journey!)"
Charizard meanwhile reached the border of the Hoenn region, crossing it still with high speed. Trying to get control, the dragon tried to move but the only thing that changed was his face expression. A strong Pokémon like him couldn't do anything.
"Why don't you get it that it's a torture for me to live on. I just can't be with my friends anymore, it reminds me of my failure ..."
"(I don't know what happened to you, but your strong will is broken. If you don't want to be with your friends anymore, then at least help the Pokémon of this world!)"
"Don't you get it? I'm too weak. I'm not the one who I should suppose to be!"
At this moment, Charizard flew above the Cameron Palace and Ash recognized it immediately. Unfortunately, it remembered him also of May. The girl that had so much fun on the ball, that smiled every time that enriched his life with her presence and that finally stole his heart.
