A/N: The relationship between Grovyle and my player is both sad and sweet. She doesn't remember him but he remembers her and I truly do believe that their friendship probably shifted on to something a little…romantic eh?

Title: Memoirs of Fire and Leaf

Summary: Grovyle couldn't believe that this Vulpix was his best friend. He just couldn't…and for some reason…his heart did.

Pairings: Grovyle/Player

That…that Vulpix wasn't my Mizuki.

It just couldn't be her.

My Mizuki had long red hair and bright green eyes.

She didn't have brown eyes or fur…and she certainly wouldn't have wanted to be a fire-type because she had a phobia of of the burning element.

I can't believe it's her but…why does my heart beat at the sight of this Vulpix? Why do I have to force myself to keep the tears at bay when I see that Riolu fight next to her?

Why do I get the feeling that perhaps…she has forgotten about me?

It's…it's just too much.

I can't take this.

Watching her fall into the water and disappear into the waves is one thing. But seeing her again, alive and well…as a pokemon with no memory of who I am or who we once were is unbearable.

Relationships between human and pokemon can only go so far. But for me and Mizuki…we were more than just friends. Not lovers but our relationship surpassed that of friendship and it was to the point in our relationship that we called each other soul mates.

I didn't know what we were but all I know is that we were "us" and that alone got me through all that crap with Dusknoir and his cronies.

But looking back at it all would only just slow me down and the guilt of losing her will eat me alive.

Memory or not I will continue to play the unknown guardian but when I'm gone it'll be up to her partner Ryuu to take care of her.
