I looked out to the open feilds that lay ahead of me. The lush, fertile grass swaying in the breeze of Pallet Town. As I looked to my Pokemon, playing the in fields, The memories were brought back. When I first left for the Hoenn Region, I met him. A pesty kid I thought I would grow to hate forever, one that never did anything right. But it was later on our journey that I relized, I loved him. I was a stronger trainer than him, I thought he was nothing, just some little runt who thought he could be a "Pokemon Master." Only then did I relize, to never think of someone too quickly. We shared good times, had our fights everyday. I used to lay awake, thinking what kept me there by his side all those times. It was only when we parted, I relized why I did. It was a sunny day, I was by the lake with Raichu, just gazing into the waters around us. He had goten all 8 badges, and beat the Elite Four, of the Hoenn League. I had alot on my mind.. I was thinking about going back home, after all, I just got in his way. I always picked on him, called him a worthless Pokemon want-to-be-master. I always said he'd never be good enough, that he should just give in, turn away, go back to where he belonged. He would always say something smart back at me, then we'd begin to fight. We never stopped for hours, just kept going, kept fighting, kept insulting each other. Only if I just let my feelings show. He walked over to me, with one of those caring, gental ways. For once, we wernt fighting, we were being nice for a change. He asked what was wrong, why I hadnt said anything, or insulted him for getting us lost. I said nothing, but walked away. I couldnt face the facts of leaving him, I didnt want to see how he would react when I was going to leave. Would he be happy, that I was finally off his back? Or would he be sad, That I was leaving him? I didnt want to find out, so I just walked away when he asked. As the night grew near, we made camp. I had thought about it all night, all day. I knew what I was going to do. I was going to leave him, without notice. I didnt want to see how much he would hurt, or how cheerful he'd act. We ate silently, and laid to sleep. I laid awake on my back, looking to the stars that were so peaceful out tonight, then looking to him sleeping away, dreaming of catching every Pokemon, getting all the badges, and, dreaming of the large doughnut that he could never eat.I played a song in my head, a song that I made for him.. The words were so sweet, if only he couldve heard them.. The song played as this in my mind.. It seems everytime your not around, Tears form in my eyes I cant, understand why I feel like this Our journeys almost over And we'll leave each other behind... But will I ever find the nerve To tell you The secret im hiding inside I wanna tell you what im feeling before its too late But Im scared I might get hurt... So will I ever get to say The words I wanna say to you When its all over I dont know what i'll do, Its like I need you every step with me I sit here and think, Of when we first met, The adventures we've had And every day that passes That i'm not with you, Im missing the best thing That's ever happened to me I wanna tell you what im feeling before its too late But im scared I might get hurt... So will I ever get to say The words I wanna say to you When its all over I dont know what i'll do, One night..... One dream.... That could be true... I wish...... I could..... find the nerve.... To tell you, what I am feeling I wanna tell you what im feeling before its too late,(too late) But im scared I might get hurt... (hurt) So will I ever get to say(oh what i want to say) The words I wanna say (why can't i say them) Yeah the words I wanna say...... To You.......... Tears began to roll down my cheeks, as I rummaged through my bag. Raichu woke and looked at me, asking if I was really going to do this tonight. I said nothing, just nodded as I tool out a piece of paper and pencil. I packed my sleeping bag, all my belongings and wrote to him... The letter I wrote, came from my heart. It stated: "My love.., I just couldnt take it anymore, I had to leave. Dont come looking for me, for when you wake, I will be gone for too long, too far away.. I am going to say it now... I never hated you, I thought you would be the worlds number one Pokemon Master.. I never thought I would have to leave, But as I saw how we were, I knew youd be better off without me. After all, I just got in your way, made you not believe in yourself... Im sorry that I ever followed you, or met you. I know, if you never met me, youd be an even better trainer... I know it. Well, I guess this is good-bye... Maybe we will meet again someday.... Maybe.." Always By your side, Mariah Havem, and Raichu I placed the paper on a rock by him, placing another rock on it to keep it from blowing away. I looked down to him, and smiled.. "I'll always love you...." I said, before I turned around and began to walk away. My Raichu looking to me, as if I made the worst mistake... I knew I did, but it was for the best, for him. I walked faster, running to the near-by harbor. I was registered to catch the last ferry of the night to go back to Kanto, Pallet Town Kanto. I reached the harbor as the boat was about to leave. I looked back to the area where I had left him, my only what seemed to me then, love.. I whispered to myself, "My dear, do not give up...Keep going, and dont look for me, I will be fine." I walked the harbor, to my room, number 23 and laid on my bed... Tears still running down my ckeeks a bit. It was for the best, I knew it.. Maybe not for me, because I loved him, but for him.. As I said in my letter, I just got in his way, made his life harder.. I fell asleep, thinking of the times we had, the hard ones, funny ones, never ending fighting ones.. But I knew my tears wouldnt change anything. I arrived in Pallet, and I walked to my home, not far from Prof. Oaks lab. My mother, so joyous to see me okay, hugged me and began to makde breakfast, as I.. sat up in my room, thinking about what I did. I knew it was for him, not me.. And as I said before, maybe we could somehow meet again, somehow.. To keep my mind busy, I worked all the time, trained my Pokemon, and ran erans for the people in my town. So that brings me to today, a month later. I heard nothing of him, or from him.. He must've went on another journey.. Happy with just him and his Pokemon.. So now, all I do is wait, for maybe hearing from him again, or someday, running into him on the roads of Pokemon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That was the end of it. Please, E-mail me to tell me what you think of it.. I may write one from his prespective.. If its okay with the dude im writing it about.. Well anyway, tell me what you think.. C-ya.
