This is the original conclusion to this book, and the original prologue for the next (PMD: Different Futures) since at first I wanted to do the PMD:EoD/T/S game as a book and had no intension of having Crystal be Pearl. But I figured it would be fun to make them the same character, and how I could mix up Crystal's journey a bit more. I hope you guys enjoyed, and yes, this is a bit cringy in my eyes. Feel free to laugh at something, I won't mind. Actually, I'll probably laugh along with you. Enjoy! ♪

    "Pearl! We've got to do it right now, or else we're headed for Dialga!" cried Grovyle. He looked behind him to see a human girl running to them, her bag flying behind her. A pink Celebi was in front of her.

    "This better be quick," Celebi mumbled when they reached what they called the Passage of Time. A blue swirl came from the center of it, and then the portal opened. "Arceus protect you, Pearl and Grovyle."

    Pearl came up to Celebi. "You mean--you're not coming with us? But we're a team, team PokéFriends!"

    Celebi shook her head. "In order to keep the portal open, I must stay. But I might see you two again. If not, we have succeeded and we won't exist anymore."

    Pearl hugged Celebi. "I'll miss you," she said, her eyes watering. "We will turn the world away from this future of darkness."

    "Pearl, we have to go." Grovyle grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her away from the pink Pokémon. He saluted to Celebi, though his eyes, too, were watering, and stood in front of the portal. Pearl stood by his side. "Ready?"

    "As ready as I'll ever be, Grovyle."

    They jumped through the portal and began falling. Their grips began to slip. "Grovyle, don't let go!" screeched Pearl, her eyes wide in fear. Her necklace floated out in front of her as she fell, a tarnished Poké coin that was cut to look like a four-leaf clover in the middle. It glinted in the blue-white light of the portal dimension, and the glint hit Grovyle's eyes. "Grovyle!" He accidentally let go.

    "Pearl!" An agonized yell came from Grovyle; their hands were reached out to each other, a gap slowly growing. "I will find you! Keep up on your end, I'll look for the gears on my end!"

    Grovyle and Pearl were seperating; the Pokémon going upward, the human going downward. She started to see him disintegrate, and she suddenly felt what looked like was happening to him. Her bag and necklace stayed whole, and what she saw before blacking out was a blurry, beautiful, sandy beach. A blob of yellow was far away, and it suddenly started heading for her. I'm dead, Pearl thought. Then everything went black.
