Wolfy sat in the hallway with Rhaenn. She was just glad they had all managed to make it there all in one piece, and although she was worried to about Kronic, she knew Fangorn would be able to handle it. Besides, she had Rhaenn to watch over anyway…
The growlithe still wasn’t sure why she was thinking this way. For some reason, she felt better to know the others were alright - oddly enough, she could feel indifferent about her own state of being. Which seemed quite strange, seeing as three years before, she was pretty much a selfish damsel in distress who thought of nothing but her own safety. She had learned a little about the growlithe species while living with Fangorn, however, and had remembered reading that most growlithe - who, upon reaching a state of young pokemonhood, apparently become extremely loyal of anyone it had developed a kinship with and would lovingly sacrifice its life to protect those who are close to it. She didn’t understand it so much before, but she was beginning to ponder it to a larger extent now. Well, she still wasn’t so sure about the whole sacrifice gig, but everything else did seem understandable by how strange she had been acting lately.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Rhaenn, who had gotten up and walked to the door, mentioning the growlithe’s name to follow. “Oh! Yes, yes, of course. We shall go.” she stated, pretending to actually have a clue to what was going on or where, exactly, they were going. She followed the luxray, sceptile, kubutops and ninetales outside but she still wasn’t sure what was going on. She wanted to know, but it only seemed rude to butt in. It wasn’t until they truely arrived at the scene when Wolfy began to understand what it was they had come for.
As the pokemon gathered around to give respects to the two dead pokemon - the raichu and, who she had learned by picking up a little conversation, was the black charizard Soul - Wolfy too sat down and attended the service to give in her own grief and sorrow for the ones who had passed. As she stared at the bodies of both pokemon, she wondered what could have happened to cause their demise. She remembered Soul clearly from the Reverse World, but could no longer recognise anything about him in the pile of bones aside from the smell she used to identify him…one which was already nearly being overpowered by the terrible stench of death and burnt ash. Amy’s body was more distinct, and still looked like a raichu despite the fact that the body had begun to rot. She couldn’t tell how she had died either, although she had horrible marks or a bruise of some sort on her neck. The point was, however death had found them…it didn’t matter. What matters was, they died, and there was nothing they could do about it. You couldn’t come back from death…right?
Didn’t Soul die before…back in the Reverse World?, she tried to remember. She had never really thought about it much before, but it DID look as though he died back there. Perhaps I was wrong…, the growlithe thought, shaking her head. Somehow, he must’ve survived the Reverse World. It’s impossible to come back from death…and now that he’s gone…well, he’s gone forever. And so is Amy.
When the service came to a close, Wolfy sighed and looked up at both Rhaenn and Fangorn nearby. “Well, now what do we do…?” she asked, her voice almost on the verge of hopelessness. “Almost all of PokeTown has been blown to smithereens, hasn’t it? That means, Fangorn…your house, I don’t know if it might still be standing. Plus…” she turned back to look at the burnt town. “It seems dangerous here now…not like it used to be. This isn’t home, this place is death. Innocent pokemon have died here in this town and there’s nowhere to go anymore…”
OOC: OK, so I just watched three or so comedies over this weekend, so writing up a funeral scene without any humour or sarcasm was really hard for me at the mo. But anyway, here it is, my last post to CC…or hopefully, will be my last post to CC…the last three posts I wrote, I thought were the last posts to CC, but they weren’t, so I have high hopes that this one, will in fact, be my last post to CC.
Yeeeaaahhh…give Candro and Rhaenn a post and let’s hightail this place. ^^;
