All right, this is a little "going away prsent" to AlphaArceus493. I learned that AlphaArceus is going away for 6 months... Hey, I've seen people go away for longer, they wern't forgotten, and they were welcomed back!

This is for you...and my first attempt at an Alphashipping!

I was close to dying and on a hospital bed, feeling the nurses feeling my wounds, my Riolu, crying over me, and my pokemon, staring at me with tears in my eyes.

"Please, don't die, don't die!" Riolu was crying, I had taught it to speak earlier, considering its aura.

I laughed a gentle one.

"Be wary, my friend. I will be going soon..." I cried softly.

"NO!" He screamed.

I felt... lightheaded for some reason. My time was up on this world.

I fell into the blackness.

Never to be heard by mortal ears again...

but Legends?

I awoke in a black place, standing up. My life was still weaving within me, barely. I couldn't see anything. The air felt remarkably sweet, as if I could live off of it forever.

Then I could see the light.

Not the light at the end of the tunnel.

It was the God of Pokemon, the one, the only... Arceus.

She stared at me, green eyes looking at my body.

"Hurt?"

"Of course... Damn glactic."

She came over and tenderly placed a foot on my forehead.

"It's okay...my child. You are dead. Gone for eternity from this earth. The Hall, though, is just in your reach."

"What do you..."

"You see...what most humans don't know...you go to the Hall of Origin when you die. Nobody knows, typically because nobody has been there."

"I see..." I murmured, crying softly.

"What is wrong, child?" She asked, getting close to me.

"It's Riolu... he loved me, now, I won't get to see him until he dies!" I sobbed.

She rubbed up against me.

"There, there, child. You will be able to see Riolu again when he dies! You can see him!"

I was calmed by that.

"I see...Arceus..."

She turned away, her tail wagging a tiny bit, as if to motion me.

"Come, we are to the hall."

She walked.

I followed her, running after her, chasing her...

Most people say that they see Arceus when they die.

Most people say that they see their lover when they die.

I have seen both.

Yeah, I want everybody to give a good goodbye to Alpha! You know, she'll be back!

Thanks! And, AlphaArceus, if you are reading this, take care! I can talk with you until you go in July! We need to get some sort of way to contact each other...
