Grieving for those lost at the library ruins, Sparky followed quietly behind Red. She probably had figured what he was thinking. As long as they had a reason to fight, they could still be of some use. Sparky glared. It seemed only death and revenge moved this group forward. She hated that.
When they all regrouped at the Pokemon Center, Sparky walked up, unsure at first, but gave Axel a hug all the same. There wasn't anything anyone could do to set what he was feeling right. After such a loss, he shouldn't even be coming with them. He should be trying to let it all out, but instead he was bottling it all in. For who? Isaac and Silver, of course.
Sparky made her decision. Even though she liked Axel, if his revenge is it cut Silver down if he gets in his path, Sparky will stop him and anyone else who tries it. Especially Red.

Leo gasped, panting for air. He fell to one knee, sweat pouring from his face as he tried to control his breathing. They were atop of Iron Island's peek. They had been crossing blades for awhile now, and now Leo knew everything Silver did.
"Very good, Leo," Silver crossed his arms after lunging his heavy blade into the ground, "The training's over. You did well."
Leo managed to stand up, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He sighed, looking over his hand. He was feeling more relaxed now, and he felt stronger than ever before, "Yeah..." he began, "I still don't know if I can do it, obey Isaac's instructions that is..."
Silver looked down, "Well, I don't have a choice. But you do," he smirked.
Isaac looked up to him in a gasp, "Wh-what do you mean?"
"You heard me," his smile left him, looking back to Leo, "Remember what you said before... About following your heart instead of your head, and that you would stop that? You shouldn't. You should never lose it. What I mean to say Leo is that you should always follow your heart, no matter what anyone says."
Leo glared down, staring at the dagger he held in his hand, "...When I died, I was ten years old. This year I should've turned 15, but my appearance looks more like a 12 year old... I'll probably be a kid for a long while now, and I'll probably always be shorter than everyone else... Who knows, maybe what you said may be true, that Red does plan to kill us and himself either way... But my years are catching up to be now. It's been hard, so hard I stop and wonder how my heart could take it all with so much pain going on in the world... But really, I guess I'm afraid... If I do follow my heart, what if I get myself killed or worse... kill someone else."
A moment passed. After awhile, Silver simply chuckled. He placed a hand to the handle of the large sword, "You're worrying? Come on man, that's not the Leo I'VE heard about."
"Huh?" Leo murmured.
"You're a hothead, Leo. You weren't ever so serious. You're arrogant, stubborn, impolite... but you're a good person who always followed his heart, no matter what," Silver smiled, "At least, that's what Sparky always used to tell me. Leo, follow your heart and be yourself. That's what living is all about."
Speechless, Leo let out a silent gasp as the wind blew harshly around them. That's right. Leo changed into a completely different person, didn't he? Leo almost completely forgot who he was. All this pain and sadness... it was changing him. But not anymore. Soon, Leo chuckled back, smiling, "Hehe, yep! That's right! Oh, and Silver, did I ever tell you that I'm going to be Pokemon Champion someday?!"
Silver laughed, "Haha, yeah. I might've heard about that."
