Silver's POV

I stood there until she left. I still can't believe that after two years, I got to see her again. Why didn't I stop her from leaving again, dammit! After two years of missing her, and wanting her back, she just walks out on me and tells me to forget about helping her. And yes, I did say that I wanted her back, alright? I just...I don't know. I fell for her. I loved her. And when she told me, I was so shocked...

"S-Silver...I know you said that you hate me, and I will probably regret saying this but..." She paused. I impatiently waited for what she was going to say. I couldn't tell what her expression was, but I could clearly hear the nervousness in her voice. 

"...I love you." She finally said. "I just wanted to say it incase if I never had another chance to say it..." 

I could feel my face getting red, and, even though my sight was useless, my eyes widened. I was surprised. Umber actually loved me back? I wanted to tell her I loved her too, but I never got to. I never got to forgive her. No matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't...

And I could have told her now, but...I have Lyra now. I moved on... I can't just say, 'Oh, Umber, I love you too by the way.' 

I sighed. I should forget this happened. I walked out of the PWT, looking for my friends outside. I didn't really want to see them right now, but knowing them, they'd force me anyways. 

"Hey, Sil, where's Umber?" Gold asked, once I caught up with them. 

"She left." I replied. 

"She left? She LEFT? We haven't seen her for two years and you just let her leave?" He said. 

I just shrugged. "She didn't want to be here, so why force her?"

"Admit it Silver, you wanted her to stay."

"No, I don't." I growled, looking away. 

"Uh-huh. Sure..." Gold said. "Weren't you the most heartbroken one when we found out she was gone?"

"Where's Umber?" I demanded to know. I was being seated in the Pokemon Center, probably to get treatment for my eyes. 

"You can't see her right now, literally and figuratively. You need to be treated." I heard Gold say. 

"I want to know if she's ok!"

"She'll be just fine. Don't worry about her. She was living and breathing when we got here, and she'll walk out of this center like that too."

"But--"

"No buts, Silver." The breeder said, trying to sound mature, but ended up laughing anyways. "No buts for Silver!"

"Shut up."

"You aren't the boss of me."

"Just leave so I can get treated..." I groaned, laying back so they can do whatever the hell they needed to do.

"Fine, fine." I heard his footsteps as he left, and the door being gently shut behind him.

~~~

"You can open your eyes now." I heard a cheerful voice say. I did as told, and was surprised at the sudden light. I could see again. But when I opened them all the way, everything was blurry. Like I was looking underwater. 

"How do you feel?" The nurse asked. "You can see, correct?"

"I can see, but everything is blurry...is that gonna go away after a while or...?"

She frowned a bit. "Maybe its just an effect of being blinded, but I did all I could. We can get you checked out for glasses."

I sighed. "Fine, whatever." She nodded before walking out. 

I sat up, looking around. I swung my feet over the edge of the bed, getting up and walking to the door. Opening it up, I peeked out, looking for any nurses or my friends. I wanted to find Umber. Problem is, I didn't know where she was. If I wasn't so impatient, I probably would have had an easier time finding her. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Silver." A familiar voice said behind me. I didn't even need to turn around to know it was Gold. 

"What do you want?" I snapped. 

"Hm, well, some lunch would be great, a vacation, and oh, a girlfriend would be awesome too." 

"That's not what I meant."

"Is Silvy all fixed up?" He asked, mocking Lyra. 

"Some what."

"Some what?"

"I can see, but everything is blurry. Now lead me to Umber's room." I demanded. 

Gold sighed. "If it will calm you down, then come on." He said, walking down the hallway to a door to the left. I opened the door quietly, in case if she was sleeping, and walked in. 

But she wasn't in there. 

"Gold...are you sure this is her room?"

"Yeah, I'm positive..." 

"Then where the hell is she?!" I yelled at him. 

"I-I don't know! Sheesh." 

I walked to the bed, and noticed something on the side table. A paper, and a Pokedex. "Gold...what is this?"

"That's the Pokedex I offered her..."

"And this?" I said, referring to the paper. He took it from my hands. "Well? What does it say?"

"I don't think you want to--"

"Just tell me, dammit."

Gold sighed, and read the note out loud. "'I'm sorry, but I had to leave. It would be for the best... You guys wouldn't want me as a DexHolder considering all the things I've done. I've become real close friends with you guys but...I'm really sorry. Don't come look for me, you'd only be wasting your time, and I'm not coming back. Dragonite and I will miss all of you guys very much. Please don't miss us too much though. Trust me, this will be good for everyone." He hesitated before finishing it off. "Goodbye... -Umber'..."

I stood in silence. "So...she's really gone?" 

"I'm sorry Silver..."

"It's not your fault...she did her job, so she doesn't have need to be here anymore."

Gold looked down in silence. "Well...I guess everything's going back to normal."

But nothing will be normal. Umber changed my life. 

I sighed. "I moved on. I have Lyra now." 

"Because you thought that you'd never see Umber again, but now that she's back..."

"Shut up, Gold. She never wanted to be found, so I'm going to pretend I haven't seen her."

"What were you talking about in there then?"

I hesitated. "I tried to convince her to be a Dexholder..."

"So you did want her to stay." 

"I tried. But I couldn't...I tried to get her to stop calling herself a Rocket, I tried getting her to take the Pokedex, and I tried to offer help, but she wouldn't accept any of it..."

"And you gave up? The great Silver gave up? That's not like you, man! Go get her and try to get her back!" Gold said, trying to cheer me up. 

"But Lyra will be upset." I said. Honestly I didn't care now that Umber is here, but she's my girlfriend, I should at least act like I care. 

"Oh well, she'll have to suck it up. Just go." He smiled. 

"Fine...just make sure the others don't follow me."

"No problem." 

I took out Honchkrow's Pokeball, releasing him and flew above the city, trying to look for that familiar purple hair. But I couldn't find her anywhere. I landed at the north of the city, hoping to find her at the top of the hill. Still nothing. Arceus, that girl moves quickly. But I could understand with the police looking for her. I told Honchkrow to continue flying around and to let me know if he sees her anywhere, and I ran down to the crowded city. I have to find her...besides, I haven't forgiven her yet.
