"Gray . . our friends.h.i.+p . I wish to change it . " Sabrina said looking up from her bowl . It was mid morning after he fought against Ash . "I want to move in a different direction . "

"Oh my," said June . Looking to her Nidorina she thought it best if they leave . She was stopped by Sabrina's next words .

"I want to have what they are having . " Her face was red as she pointed at the other two . "I mean what you two are having . " Her ears starting turning red . Her Espeon smiled from the side of the table .

"You already do . You just tend to tell me to stop . I didnt think you were so susceptible to light teasing . " Gray said plainly .

"You cant mean to tell me you havent slept with them?" Sabrina felt a little puzzled .

"I have slept in the same tent or bedroll with them . The same as you . " Gray said fixing some more Pokemon food . "But as far as the physical sense goes, no . h.e.l.l knows I want to . "

"Ohh you are so going to get it Chroma!" Sabrina yelled towards June . The Pokemon left June and smiled . It was a very evil one at that .

"I didnt say when now did I?" Seeing Sabrina get mad she teleported away . 'Hehehe I am going to have as much as I can with you . ' In her Leafeon form the Pokemon disappeared like the wind .

"What a way to start a morning . Hehe . " Gray chuckled . "You just need to take it slow about things Sabrina . I am not really going anywhere . Well wait that is wrong . I am going to tons of places . "

"Ha tight . . I mean right . " She fumbled her words in distress . "Gray you know about my past right?"

"Yes from a filtered lens so to speak . Does not mean I know the real you . I look forward to it though . " Gray rembered the different version of her from the comic book as well as the first game and the townsfolk impression in the anime . 'So many live rolled into one . With only some actually truthful . ' His thoughts stopped when Sabrina spoke again .

"I . . killed trainers and Pokemon alike while under cover for the League . I was a very high member in Team Rocket . Sabrina grabbed the table edge . Her powers going a little haywire as she started to have an anxiety attack . "Ugh I can do this!" Calming her psychic powers she stared at Gray who stopped moving and had sat in front of her . at the table . Empress on his lap staring directly at her . "I enjoyed it Gray . I felt as long as that I was blending in . . everything was ok . Everything for the mission . "

"Good work . " Gray said plainly .

"What!?" Sabrina was shocked to say the least .

"You did your job . You knew the risk and what it entailed . " Gray gave Empress a little rub on her head . The Pokemon stretched her tail out and touched Sabrina gently . "Sabrina, if you didnt do your job, how many would have been hurt? How many more would have been captured or killed?"

"But still?" Sabrina thought for some reason he would have said something different . Jer hand subconsciously grabbing Empress's tail . 'Her tail feels so warm and safe . '

"Still nothing . " Gray gave his head another shake slightly distressed . "I would be a terrible individual if I gave someone c.r.a.p for doing that . Especially with the fact I will do my job despite what society would say . Because they dont matter . My ideals and what I believe to be right do . Save regrets for when you are dead . "

"Mm ok . " Sabrina murmured . At a loss for words temporarily .

"Do not go dying anytime soon though . " Gray had grabbed her hand along with Empress . "I have a lot more to show you . Both good and bad . Ok my friend?"

"Is it ok for me to thank of you as more than a friend?"

"Of course!" Gray smiled cheerfully . "My Father said even friends can improve one another . " He scratched his cheek a little embarra.s.sed . "But he also had a very long set of rules .

"Haha your dad sounds . . difficult . " Sabrina smiled .

"Gray . . things have changed . In about 6 hours, I am leaving for a bit . Family things to do . I will be back in a month or so . " June said . She could barely look Gray in the eye . "If . . if I need you, will you come help me? I know this is sudden but . . "

"Of course I will silly . We may have had a bad start . Ok a really bad start but I promise I will come help " Gray said with a warm smile . "Trust me on that . "

"I do . Thanks . " June returned a smile .

"Bwoom!" A small increase in aura hit them both .

(Blessing of Latios and Latias has increased . + 1 aura . )

"Nice . " Gray looked to see June was smiling brightly . 'Guess she was really worried . ' Empress stirred on his lap a little . Her tail leaving Sabrina and wrapping around Gray . "You ok?"

"Mmhm just getting closer to evolving is all . " Empress said . Her tail tightened again .

"Oh we have to go visit those people before we go . " June added .

"Yeah I need to make sure they are cleared . " Gray said .

"Right that is true . " June said . "I will make a call to let them know we are coming by . "

"Ehh people?" Sabrina looked puzzled .

-A few hours later-

"h.e.l.lo, Gray right?" The mother asked . She was the leader of this group of people and there kids . "Do come in . "

"Thanks . " Gray said as he stepped inside . The others following suit . "So how are the kids?"

"Great . Fantastic even . They wake up a little slow but that is all . " Mercy called the kids from tha back yard . They came in really quickly knowing this would determine when they can start there regular Pokemon journey .

"Ok line up . " Gray said . For next three hours he checked them all over . Only two had a faint trace of the poison left . It was removed easily Thanks to the recent boosts . "Ok all clear and ready for regular kid stuff . "

"Thanks mister!" The kids said before running back out . All but Mercy daughter staying back .

"You are my mom's old boss right?" Gray nodded to her . "Is she going to have to go back and work?"

"No little one . Your mom is free to enjoy this life here . Your father as well . "

"My dad is dead . No need to lie . " The child shook her head .

"He is not dead child . He will be back . " Mecu said . "Just wait . "

"Stop lying!" The child yelled . "I found the story online . I saw how dad died against that monster Arceus . He is not coming back!"

Grays demeanor changed as his aura weighed on the child . He reached out towards Mercy and pulled the Venasuar necklace off . Slowly he pumped aura into it . The energy he gather from the poisoning of Arceus . A few seconds and pulling on the blessings that represented life, the man formed completely .

"Dad!" The child tackled the man before he had a chance to awaken .

"Your . . back . " Mercy walked over hugging her husband and child .

"Groan," the man moaned . His body was pretty d.a.m.n raw . Nerves were still coming back . "Easy you two . "

"Hah!' Gray sighed as he moved to the others . "Do you have them with you?" They each nodded as he started the process . Two hours later he finished .

(7 virtues & 7 desires returned . Blessing of Black Gate & Blessing of Gold Gate acquired . )

"Fwoos.h.!.+" Gray was enveloped in aura energy . It surged through his body as he became whole again aura wise from the loss . It was a trade for hinself .

"Just need a few more badges and I am good to go . " Gray said under his breath . A bubble appeared showing the path to take best . 'Need to check my blessings . '

(Six elite badges to become whole again . Blessings 16/16)

"Well you have my info, keep in touch if you need anything . As well as Thank you for all that you have done . " Gray looked at them before turning to leave .

"Wait!" Mercy said . "If we . . no if our kids decide to take our positions will you stop them?"

"No . They are allowed so I will teach them if so . If you dont want them to . Then tell them why . Those are my rules . " Gray said sternly his voice was noticeably lower . As if he was tired . "Haaa I need to go rest and train my aura . Come on June, and Sabrina . Time for our last dinner before we meet again . "

"Uh huh . " Sabrina agreed . Her face was flushed for some reason . 'Why do I just wanna hug and squeeze him right now?'

"Sounds good . " June said quietly . "I am ready . "

"Umm thank you mister for bringing back my dad . " Merci daughter said giving him a hug . "I promise to behave and become strong . That way I can pay her back and you . "

"Good . But above all be happy . " Gray gave her a pat on the head . He reached into his pocket connecting to his inventory . He pulled out 7 tags with clear gems in them . "A late birthday gift . I defontely owe that much . "

"Fwoosh," Gray, June and Dabrina left via teleport .

"What are these . ?" The kids asked togethor . There auras slowly reaching into the gems before coming back out purified and masked .

"Those are . . . " Mercy started to say but stopped . "Never mind . Time for that later . Right now someone needs pants!"

"Hehehe . . . right . " The man said . He looked at his friends who all dressed themselves already . "You know us Venasaurs are always a little slow . . . . "

-With the others . -

"Hah much better . " Gray rubbed his belly at the diner . He was full and sleepy . A bad combination . "Did you all enjoy your meal?"

"It was really good . " Sabrina said cheerfully .

"It was nice . " Said June . "I like your cooking better though . You will make a good house husband . " She fiddled with her staw as she looked out . "I really want that future . I want us to always be friends to . How about you Sabrina?"

"I would like a little bit of it to change . For the better . I think we will have a hood future June . " Sabrina grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze . "But for now we enjoy our journey and beat the c.r.a.p out of crazed Pokemon!"

"Haha that's right . " June agreed . Gray just smiled at them both . "A toast to good times and a bright reunion in the future . "

"Cheers!" They threw said clinking there drinks togethor . They talked a bit more before June left . Gray and Sabroma decided to head to there rooms and rest .

-Elsewhere-

"Are you ok Lord Arceus?" A cloaked figure asked .

"I . . am . . not . . the . . mark hurts . . The one . . . who wounded me is alive . . I . . need . . . more time . . " Arceus said with its strength already causing it to fall asleep . "We . . will . . wait . . to . . strike . . . Three . . . years . . time . . Gather . . . them . . "

"Your will be done . " The cloak figures left the hall . Once through the gate closed behind and sealed up . "Go and tell everyone to be ready in 2 . 5 years . "

"Understood!" Several cloaked figures responded . Each having a symbol of a Pokemon type on there robes . Drain was the only one missing at the time .

"Lance report . " The cloaked figure spoke into the Pokegear .

"Bwoom . " A holographic image appeared showing Lance and a few trainers .

"Sir . I have several promising candidates . They will make great Indingo league representatives and future champions . "

"That is good . Lord Arceus has gone to sleep . 2 . 5 years is what we have time for . Then we will gather again . " The cloaked figure stopped and paused for a bit . Trying to decide to tell Lance about the return of the one who injured there Master . He decided not to . Lance task was better spent training others .

"That is more than ample time . " Lance said while nodding . "I can have them at the rank of Gym leader by the end of the year . After two of three dungeons we will go from there . "

"Excellent . " The cloak figure said . "Lord Arceus will be done . "

"His will be done . " Lance said before closing his Pokegear . He looked to the champion candidates and gave the order to relax . He had been pus.h.i.+ng them hard but with that new time table the candidates would now get a break more .

'You wish to continue with following them?' A voice said from inside him .

'Ah Rayquaza your awake . You are sleeping more and more lately . ' Lance thought back to his medium . 'Yes I will . Why do you ask?'

'Just checking . Before you stood more on your won two feet . Now at the back and call of these fools . You are becoming a zealot . '

'Lord Arceus will pay the way for salvation . Surely you can understand that?' When Rayquaza didnt respond Lance figure it fell asleep again . 'Is he getting sick I wonder?'

Rayquaza knew the time was drawing closer for it . Soon he would have to return to see his lord . 'Hah, Lance had such promise . I wonder how my other half is doing . '
