"Blah Blah" = Umbreon talking

In the peaceful forest of Agate Village, a large stone relic stood as a shrine to the legendary Pokémon Celebi. For many decades, it stood there in solitude, not even the oldest person (Eguan) in Agate could remember when it came to be. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the tombstone it now shared the forest with.

Beneath the thick canopy of the forest, a sandy yellow-haired boy sat alone. His yellow-gold eyes were red from crying, and his white face paint stripe as tears streaked down it.

'How did it come to this?' Wes thought, as he stood in the glade of the old Celebi relic. His dull eyes looked at the headstone of his dead love and partner.

Here lies Rui

A friend to all Pokémon and humans alike

R.I.P

'It shouldn't be like this' Wes thought as he thought back to the day that she had been taken away from him. 'I didn't even get to tell you what you meant to me' he mourned, as Wes thought back to that fateful day.

It was one month after they had beaten Cipher and they were about to purify the last Shadow Pokémon which was the Shadow Tyranitar that he had snagged from Evice. They had just been about to purify it at the grotto when the Tyranitar had gone into its Hyper mode and launched a random Hyper Beam before being called by Wes and returning to normal. However, the damage had been done, and it was unlucky Rui who had been in the line of fire and Wes hadn't been fast enough to get her out of the way and the Hyper beam had hit her square in the chest.

Why? Wes asked himself. Why did you leave me? (1)

A green light suddenly engulfed the grotto and when Wes could look again. A small green fairy looking Pokémon was hovering just above Rui's grave.

"Celebi" Wes greeted as the small legendary fluttered around the grotto, landing on the Relic Stone.

"Hi Wes" (2) Celebi said, her voice low and full of sorrow for Wes's dead partner. (3)

"Why are you here?" Wes asked, his voice cracking with the little speaking that he had done over the past month.

"I'm here to help" Celebi said as she fluttered onto the grave.

"What can you do?" Wes asked grief and sadness obvious in his voice.

"If you want, I can send you back in time to prevent this from ever happening," Celebi said as she pointed to the top of the headstone.

"What's the catch?" Wes askedsuspiciously, remembering the beautiful time flutes and how after he had played them, they crumbled into glittering dust.

"No catch but only you will remember this day and future." Celebi said.

"So, I'll be the only one who knows what's going to happen?" Wes confirmed.

"That's right," Celebi said as she began to glow dimly.

"Then I'll do it" Wes said. "I'll do anything to keep Rui with me for a little longer."

"Then let's go!" Celebi said as she began to glow brighter and brighter until the entire grotto was engulfed in the grass-green light.

'I'll save you Rui...no matter what it takes' that was Wes's last thought before he lost consciousness in the soothing green light.

A/N:

1. I know that Wes is a strong person but he just lost his partner and the one person who had been by him for everything, I think anyone would have done what Wes did in order to return to the one he loves.

2. Yes, Celebi can talk/communicate because of her Psychic powers.

3. I know that Celebi is genderless in the games but for my story, she is a girl.
