“No you won’t. Where are you going to be if I need you in a hundred years? The normal life span doesn’t make it to the one hundred twenties! How can anyone say they’ll be there for me anytime I need them anymore? What happens if I need someone, and that someone is gone forever? Then what?”

Rebecca softly sighed, clasping her hands together.

“Zekrom will be there for you instead. I have no doubts that he can be by your side. He’s one of this region’s legendary Pokemon, Silv. Legendary Pokemon are ageless.”

“I don’t feel like ever having anything again. The thought makes me feel sick to my stomach.”

“I’ll put it in the fridge then.”

Rebecca did so, sitting down next to her best friend.

“Silv, y’can’t let whatever’s got ya down destroy you like this. It doesn’t mean y’gotta like it. It doesn’t even mean y’gotta be neutral to it. Just… Y’gotta enjoy and cherish the time y’have with those y’love. If it helps, I’ll be here for ya any time y’need me. Okay?”

“Eighty years isn’t long enough…”

That’s really all he could say. In eighty years, she would be gone, and where would he be? Exactly the same, as though he hadn’t aged a day past sixteen. He couldn’t even return the hug. Instead, he just sniffled quietly.

“It’s long enough if we enjoy the time we have, Silv. Hell, I could make it longer if I stay as healthy as I am now.”

Rebecca had her cheeks puffed up before she gently ruffled Silver’s quills, squeezing him just slightly.

“Yeah. I guess. Might as well do it while you can. You won’t be around forever.”

“Yeah, I still have about 80 years to go, I’m not that old.”

Rebecca knelt down and hugged her best friend anyway, softly huffing at the idea of being old at 26.

“I’d have even longer if I was Zekrom’s chosen but 80 years is still a long time.”

“But there’s nothing you can do. There’s nothing anyone can do. Unless you’re willing to take my life, but… I don’t think I would feel right doing that. It’s the easy way out. It’s wrong.”

“Silv… I would never be willing to do that, you know that. And yes, I agree that it’s wrong.

…The best I can do right now is a hug. Would that be okay?”
