I staggered as I saw the world glow then fade. It was time. With the deed done and the world saved I had no place in it. My existence would cease, for I had destroyed what had made me. I collapsed falling to my hands and knees. I was week and could barely move. Everything was growing distant. My friend and partner Amperage turned back to see me on the ground breathing hard and slow.
“Jercio! What’s wrong?” He shouted rushing to my side.
“heh… nothing everything is just fine.” I said looking up to him.
“No, it’s not alright. You look terrible. What is wrong!?” Amperage said trying to help me to my feet.
“Amp!” I shouted and he backed off, “Everything is fine, but now because it is so I must leave. Don’t you dare think this is the end though. You’ll see time, darkness, and space cannot keep us apart. Time will tell, darkness will be enlightened, and space filled. I will find my way back, but for now I must say goodbye. I am dying so you may live on. Let them know that the world we live in does not define us, but that we define it. When all is said and done I will meet you beyond the horizon. Keep the team going.” I said then stood up using the last bits of my strength.
I felt a light surround me and my being began to fade. My physical form was gone. I was consumed by the light. Then it too began to fade until all that was left was Amperage alone. He collapsed seeing me gone, but my spirit was still there. I swore I’d never leave him, and so I gave him the strength to carry on and return home. He made sure to spread my message.
There are many terrible things that happen in life, and many can’t be prevented, but those that can and those that have happened can only be stopped through action. This doesn’t mean fighting or war. It means that standing by will get you nowhere, and it doesn’t matter if it’s hard. It doesn’t matter the cost. What matters is that in the end you’re actions define you and your world. I was willing to give it all as were my friends and by doing so we saved many more. Had I stood aside the world would be consumed in darkness, time would halt, and space would be empty.

This mini fiction is based on the need for activism in our world. Nothing will ever change unless we act. So many people think because they grew up in a bad neighborhood they should just go along with that, and become like the people in that neighborhood, but no. It’s only bad because you let it be. If one person was willing to stand up and admit this was wrong then changes because of it then the possibilities are endless.
We often overlook the deep lessons in video games. To a majority of us they are simply toys, but if we just stopped and looked deeper, we could learn so much. I’ve been playing pokemon since I was two, and it is a cornerstone of my life. It taught me every living thing deserves respect, that everyone has the right to their dreams, and that we can each be a hero just by using our talents.
I ask if only for a brief moment that you stop and ask yourself what you could do to help the world. Then think of how to help your community, your school, your friends, and finally your family. Now act on it.
The Horizon, the place where the sun and earth meet. To me the horizon is a symbol for all the things just out of reach. A place where we strive to go, but can never reach. It is also the name of the PMD team that this mini-fiction is based on. I know I will never make it to the horizon, but I will go as far as I can, and then help the next brave soul along on their travels.
I thank you for reading this, and I’m sorry if you were disappointed. I wrote this based on my own feelings about the direction the world is headed. If you disagree with my opinion good for you. Never let anyone sway your thoughts. I will hold steadfast in mine, and you should do the same for yours.
