It was evening by the time Elayne finally climbed all the way to the peak of the mountain. Breathing heavily, she stopped to rest for a moment, leaning on a nearby tree with her hands on her knees for a few moments before she stood up and looked down at the view below. What she saw took her breath away; the sky was filled with a beautiful display of dancing lights, the likes of which she had only heard about in stories. The lights danced around the midnight sky, creating waves as they traveled across the land, casting the village below in a rainbow of colors the likes Elayne had never seen before, nor had she dared hope for this amazing display of nature's wonder.
Elly had just caught up with Elayne to find her staring at the sky, awestruck. Curious as to what had caught her trainer's eye, the espeon looked up at the sky and was amazed at what she saw. Before her eyes danced an array of colors that she had never seen or even dreamed about before. Eyes dancing in delight, reflecting the colors she was watching above her, Elly uttered a happy mew of surprise and delight, oblivious to anything else but the dancing lights.
Elayne was brought back to reality when she heard Elly's small cry and smiled down at the espeon before looking back up at the sky,"It's beautiful isn't it Elly...the northern lights? I've heard about them before, but never thought I would be able to see them for myself..."she said in a quiet voice filled with delight.
Elly nodded, mewing delightedly once again before sitting by Elayne to watch the brilliant display of lights in silence. Elayne smiled and sat down on the snow, not caring that were pants would get soaked. She just wanted to enjoy nature's show in the silence of the night. Things like this always seemed to make her worries melt away and helped her remember that there was always something beautiful to be found in the world if you just looked hard enough...

Exhaling and inhaling slowly, Ezio climbed up the mountain with a smile on his face, holding his Togepi close to his chest so he wouldn't fall down. Beaming as he could see the nothern lights more clearly now, Ezio took a deep breath as he finally reached the top. He enjoyed the crisp mountain air, no pollution, nothing, just relaxing and enjoyable.
All Ezio could do was let off a soft "wow" as he stared at the amazing view, pointing it out to his Togepi, Luis. Suddenly Ezio spotted a young woman sitting, with her Espeon, enjoying the site. Ezio's heart started beating faster then what it normally did and his body seemed to warm up slightly. Thinking of it as nothing, Ezio decided to walk over and introduce himself.
"It's amazing beautiful, isn't it?" Ezio said as he neared the girl, sitting next to her. "You know theres this old legend, a saying, about two people who meet up here during the nothern lights. Hi I'm Ezio" Ezio introduced himself friendlily,with a half smile.

"30,31,32," Ari said aloud he was doing pull-ups on a tree branch. he thought it no better place then the northern lights.he figured he could exercise with a view. "48,49,50" Ari then let out a sigh and lifted himself up on to the branch so that he was sitting on it. he looked at the northern lights and the beauty that it holds. in the amazement of the moment Ari stared in awe he was in his own world until he heard a cracking noise.
he looked to at the branch to see it was breaking. "oh crap!" said Ari the branch broke and fell Ari jumped to a new branch. but then looking back saw it was heading for what he thought to be a young couple. he then drooped down from the tree since he broke the branch he must have been heavier so he would fall faster. he thought and it was true he hit the ground before the branch.
"LOOK OUT!" Ari yelled as he ran he then attempted to push the both of them out of the way.

Elayne started a little when another person walked up to her and sat down next to her and Elly. She hadn't been expecting anybody to be up on the mountain, especially on a night like this. "I wasn't aware there was a legend about the northern lights...Ezio...that name sounds familiar...I'm Elayne."she said in a kind, quiet voice.
Elly was brought out of her daydream when Ezio showed up. If it wasn't for the fact that Elayne didn't seem to be worrying about this man, she would've gone on the defensive. Just then something caused the espeon to whirl around, hissing. Another man was running towards Ezio and Elayne followed shortly by a... Elly's eyes grew wide, there was no time to waste! Thinking quickly, she used protect, effectively shielding Ezio and Elayne from the young man then used psychic on the log, tossing it by a group of trees where it lay still, stuck in the snow. With no immediate danger around, the espeon whirled around to face the intruder, hissing at him, ready to attack should he make any sudden moves.
Elayne heard Elly hissing and looked at the espeon to see what was the matter with her. When she saw the branch coming toward them, her heart started pounding until Elly saved them by placing a protect around them and throwing the log away with psychic. But then it seemed that Elly was obviously upset over something else...looking again, she saw another man near the espeon. Elayne didn't know who the man was, but she wasn't about to call Elly off until she knew what he was doing here...

With all the sudden shouting and snaps and other forms of loud noise, Ezio quickly looked around in surprise. Seeing the branch crash down towards them and without time to do anything major, Ezio quickly placed his Togepi away from danger and managed to place himself in between Elayne and the branch, embracing for impact.
Seeing that there was no impact and that the Espeon had used Protect and Psychic on themselves and the branch, his attention turned to the man. Staring at the man suspiciously, Ezio began to questioned him, preparing for anything the man may try. "Who are you, what are your intentions?"

Ari paused before he burst out laughing. "your joking right i'm 14 what could i possibly do to the two of you?" Ari asked in a sarcastic tone. he had a look to match.
"i did pull ups on that branch so thats why it broke sorry if i scared you" he said in an innocent tone. he looked at the girl then at the boy "haven't i seen you two before?". Ari then went over the numerous faces he had in his head. hoping to find a match.

Elayne sighed with relief, it seemed that the boy wasn't going to harm them, but why did his voice sound so familiar...? "It's all right Elly, he's not going to hurt us..." Elayne thought as she leaned against the tree to try and get a better view of the boy.
Elly glared at the boy but relaxed a little more before snorting; it was that fool of a boy again,"You better be glad Elayne called me off Ari after the stunt you pulled last time I have half a mind to throw you into an avalanche myself!" she thought-said/hissed, not caring if Ari picked up her thought telepathically or not.
Elayne looked shocked when she heard Elly and looked up at Ari once again,"Ari...? And Ezio...it seems we meet on the same mountain once again..." she said in a quiet voice, almost smiling now at such a coincidence.
Elly glared at Ari one more time before walking back over to Elayne and watching the northern lights dance across the sky.

Ezio thought for a moment as he absorbed what they just said. "Wait a minute.... Oh. My. God. You're that kid from that time, with the avalanche and the cave and all the bleeding from the head." Ezio said as if he had an epiphany. Sighing before giving a little chuckle, Ezio turned to both of them with a half smile on his face.
"Elayne you know there's also a legend about 2 people who meet twice on this mountain, I might tell you that later and, it's been awhile Ari. How's the head?" Ezio inquired. Luis, Ezio's Togepi had now walked out of its hiding spot and walked up to Elayne, recognizing her. Jumping up to her, it let out a cheerful noise.

"oh yeah i remember now , weird we meet back here" he said in a questionable tone. Ari then looked at Elayne for a few seconds before hearing ezio's question "huh, oh it's just a small scar now". Ari then looked up to where the branch had broken."uhh well i'm sorry i nearly killed you guys" Ari said really embarrassed.
he looked at them then wondered if they knew how to get to town. this had been their second encounter and they almost got hurt again. Ari then scratched his head "maybe i should stop coming up here i seem to almost hurt you guys to much" he said while laughing.

Elayne smiled shyly at Ezio's comment before turning to Ari. "I know you didn't mean to Ari, and besides, Elly was here to protect us so we're fine. Although you're right, it is rather odd that we meet in the same place twice...just please don't cause anymore avalanches, deal?"she said in a kind voice, a twinkle in her eye as she said the last part.
Seeing Luis jump up at her, Elayne laughed and caught the small togepi,"Nice to see you too Luis." she laughed before handing the togepi back to Ezio,"I see your togepi is just as cheerful as ever Ezio."
Elly looked over at Luis and smiled,"Hello young togepi..."she said in a kind, gentle voice,"Would you like to watch the dancing lights with me?"

Luis smiled and waved at Elly before nodding a yes as it jumped out of Ezio's hands, who had just taken hold of it after Elayne passed Luis to him. "Haha yeah and much more energetic. Seems to also have remembered your Espeon, it was Elly wasn't it? Oh and yeah, please, no more avalanches or large branches randomly falling out of the sky." Ezio let out a soft chuckle as Luis walked over to Elly and then stared at the northern lights.
Ezio stared at Elayne for a moment, with a smile on his face, as he remembered the first time they met on the same mountain they were on. "Perhaps its fate. Or destiny or something like that." Ezio added, not talking to anyone directly, more leaving it in the open than anything else.

"No more danger i promise" he said in blushing embarrassment. He then heard ezio mention Fate. Ari then thought of faith then he began to miss her. He then realized where he was and snapped out of it "um yea maybe".
then Ari looked at espeon he had heard the threat. he laughed in his head as if mocking the pokemon. he then looked at the lights and dropped to his knees. he then interlocked his hands and said a prayer.

Elayne nodded at Ezio's question, smiling as Luis walked over to Elly to watch the northern lights before Ari spoke. Laughing softly, Elayne shook her head and looked over at Ari. "You just need to think before you act is all Ari, like not going out into the snow when you're bleeding to death. But hey, we all make mistakes..."she said in a kind, teasing voice before trailing off and looking down at the snow,"I know I've made plenty..." she said in a quiet almost indiscernible whisper.
When Ezio mentioned something about fate, Elayne blushed, not really knowing what he meant, but by the way he said it...it sounded like something out of a story book when the prince is about to sweep the princess away to a far away land filled with enchantment. Elayne shook her head to clear her thoughts and looked back up at the northern lights without a word.
Elly heard the laugh and glared at Ari before using psychic to move a branch above his head just enough that a heap of snow fell. Glaring once more at Ari she turned back to watch the northern lights with a smug expression on her face, thinking she had proved her point where Ari was concerned.

Ezio alternated looking at Ari and Elayne as they both spoke, finishing with giving Ari a strange look as he got on his knees to pray. This was completely unexpected for Ezio, and really didn't know how to respond to that. Ezio decide it would be best just to keep his mouth shut and enjoy the Northern Lights. However this didn't stop him from chuckling softly as snow fell on him. Taking a breath, Ezio spotted a large trunk that had fallen nearby and sat on it, rubbing his hands together to keep warm.
Stopping his trainer come nearby and sit down, Luis left Elly and went of to Ezio, struggling to get on top of the trunk before Ezio picked him up, placing the Togepi on his lap. Ezio hugged his Togepi gently before turning to look at Elayne again. As Ezio opened his mouth to say something, he decided against it and turned back to nature's light show.

Ari was praying before being knocked down by snow. He then jumped to his feet his fists clenched so tight it hurt. then he loosened up. He knew he couldn't start something now especially not here. Ari then looked at the lights and smiled.
He then proceeded to say "life is being knocked down". then looked at ezio then elayne and then said "Living is getting back up for the battle". The boy then said nothing after that but llooked at the lights and admired their beauty.

Elayne was oblivious to the fact that Elly had dumped snow on Ari, but turned her head as Ari spoke once again and was surprised to see that he was soaking wet and covered with snow. Looking over at the very guilty looking espeon, Elayne mad a mental note to scold her later for her behavior before going back to watching the northern lights, Ari's words still fresh in her mind as she wondered what he might have meant.

Ezio turned back to face Ari, actually quite impressed by the teenager's words however he was probably more surprised but in all honesty, nothing should surprise him about Ari anymore. "Those are actually some pretty wise words Ari, I'm actually surprised that they came out of you, usually someone older, like much older says those things but yeah, in life, getting knocked down is inevitable, getting back up is just a choice. Reminds me of something a read once. 'For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again'. We just have to keep on getting back up."
Ezio turned back to the lights, memories of his grandfather repeating those lines every night to him when he was little. Staring down, he shook away those memories, as he would always feel homesick when he would remember and reminisce about his family.

Ari turned to Ezio and said "whoever spoke those words was a great man" the boy smiled. "People say wisdom comes with age but thats not true at all" he said seriously. "Wisdom comes through experience the more you experience the wiser you become" he said in an inspiring tone.
He looked at the two other trainers. When he looked at Elayne he saw Faith and at Ezio he saw Van. "There are many legends about the lights" Ari said fascinated. "One legend has it that the lights are made from lost spirits". "So people come here to pray for them to find their way". "Another says if you close your eyes you can see the one you miss the most".

Elayne listened to the conversation between Ezio and Ari in silence. Closing her eyes for a moment, she could indeed see the one person she missed the most: her father... Looking back at the lights dancing in the sky, tears drifted down Elayne's cheeks.
Elly sensed Elayne's sadness and turned around to see the tears. Trotting across the snow over to Elayne, she lay down in her lap and licked her trainer's cheek comfortingly.
Elayne smiled sadly at Elly and hugged her close before turning back to watch the light display once again.

Sensing Elayne's sadness, Luis's facial expression turned from that of joy to something more serious and somewhat sad also. As the Togepi got off Ezio's lap and walked over to Elayne, Ezio saw what he was doing, watching as a tear dropped from Elayne's cheek down to the cold, freezing snow.
Gasping lightly as he saw what he saw, Ezio felt as if something had grabbed hold of everything inside him and just twisted and twisted it, obliterating everything inside. As Luis approached Elayne, he looked up at her with big puppy eyes, which where also getting teary. Thinking of something that might help, Ezio also walked over to Elayne, hugging her.
"There, there, it's alright Elayne. Listen, whatever it is you can tell me, I will always lend an ear. It's going to ok." Ezio attempted to reassure her. Turning to his Togepi, Ezio tried to summon all the positive energy he could. "Luis..." He called out with a smile of some sorts, pointing at Elayne with his lips, hoping that he will be able to understand what he meant.
Thinking for a moment, Luis decided to follow its instincts as it began to siphon what ever positive energy Ezio had to release it into Elayne.
