I returned as quickly as I came. I had no berries with me. I was dead on the inside. I knew I forgot Davis. As I floated upwards into the night, I noticed some Wingulls gathering on top of a lone cabin, filled with a light... except, it wasn't just some normal light. Not candlelight, not even electrical light. Suspicious, I continued forwards, smiling as my glowing wound lost colouration. While it would probably illuminate the next time I fought a shadow Pokemon, it would at least give me an early warning of some in the area. My smile quickly faded upon hearing some familiar voices. "...if fighting is sure to result in victory then you must FIGHT! Sun Tzu said that..." Oh Arceus. What have I stumbled upon? "Heheh... I've missed a lot, haven't I?" The loud voices definitely kept me awake. I floated out of the water, going over patches of bright berry bushes. I heard voices that trampled on memories. One part of me didn't want to know what was happening, but the other part was [i]soooo[/i] damn curious. I would try to kill my other side after knowing what was inside the rather old cabin. The door wasn't closed. The voices continued droning on about Sun Tzu. I felt a sharp feeling that hurt more than Desia ever could. I made a little prayer as I slowly peered through the door, Wingulls watching me as they had nothing better to do... [i]No.[/i] You know. When I usually saw Davis, I would be happy and wishing for him to come back. But, no. This time, he was dead to me. I see what Desia meant by 'replacement.' "Davis, we've got a visitor." I heard the other voice speak, seeing me as if it was completely normal for a badly-scarred Magnemite to enter without knocking. "What?! We aren't supposed to have visi- oh." While he yelled at my replacement, I just entered casually, floating and making no sound. There were two Porygons in this room with me. Both looked old, but the other just looked cracked and dusty. The cabin itself looked cosy, although it had some old relics from the past. Davis had laid out his stars and stripes flag onto the wall, obviously in tatters and remarkably clean of rot. "So. Desia said something about... a replacement. Is that true?" "You spoke with Desia?" Davis asked, rather shocked I would go to such lengths. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Is that true? You... replaced me, with an excuse of a Porygon?" "Actually, it's the other way around." I felt nervous hearing my own voice, coming from that Porygon. "You see, Davis and I had to get away from Desia for a while... and, he was going to go insane in that community, with no one else to speak to him. So, he created you." He seemed to smile at the end of that sentence, despite not being able to show facial expressions. His tone said it all. "I'm Milloon. You're Milloon. Guess who's the clone." "Davis, you bloody idiot..." I was about to start my speech, wiping tears across my eye and deliberately flinging them onto the Porygon. "For many bloody years, I thought we had a [i]thing[/i] going. I was created not as a meaningless companion but as a personal friend of yours." "That's what he inten-" "Oh shut up you fucking idiot." The Porygon raised his head at me. Davis silently gestured at the Porygon to keep down. "And now, I find out the ugly truth. I have spent DAYS looking for you, getting myself killed and leaving behind scars that will never fade. LOOK AT ME. Does it LOOK healthy? Do I FEEL healthy? Will I EVER be healthy? Only damn Arceus knows, because you couldn't give two fucks about me and what I had to go through, JUST SO I COULD FIND YOU HEAR RECITING LINES FROM A VIDEO GAME." Davis simply sat there, staring at me. "Aye... I'll never know how you managed to live all this time while I went through a cycle of pain. I spent so much of my time looking for you. Then, you try to push out a note telling me of your death... did you know how broken I am knowing Desia wasn't lying? She may have attacked us afterwards, but for goodness sake she kept her word. You will never understand how much I've changed since looking for you... and now, I don't even know what to say to you." "You best get going." The Porygon said, on the same tone as I was. "There's no room here for you. Davis has made his decision, and now you're gonna have to leave." With those words, I turned my back on everyone. "Milloon, wait!" I thought I heard the Porygon muttering how it wasn't my name. Davis came rushing to me as I began floating towards the water. "Don't..." "Don't what?" I asked him, without much emotion. "Don't leave you? Don't make me go through pain to find you hanging out by a replacement?" "No... I'm really, [i]really[/i] sorry this had to happen." Davis spoke in a softer tone, softer than his usual voice. "It's just... well, I had to talk to something during my time." "Maybe, you shouldn't have created me. I'm better off dead as a clone." "You're not a clone. You've gained sentience, and that's remarkable considering how I've really made you out of scrap metal and some stray red energy. You aren't dead to me, but... it's certainly not your fault everything has happened." With those words, I sank into the water, letting a bubble form over me. I was tired listening to him. "Miles... Miles, is your new name. I don't want you thinking you're a clone then next time you beat the crap out of Desia." I smiled a little, but I didn't let it show to Davis. "Well... bye then. Forever." I was broken. Into pieces which got mashed. I approached my own group, unsure what to say as I sighed. The bubble formed around me without the HM, which I presumed was a result of being a part of this group. I didn't want to think at this point, though. "Nevermind. I couldn't find any berries." Then, I noticed the group. I didn't really change my expression, though.
