With a final farewell, the twosome said goodbye to Dialga. The trek back home was going to be a difficult one. Bruises and scratches dotted Nanya and Lax's skin. The fight with Dialga had left them wounded. But it was all okay. Soon they'd be back in Treasure Town. Soon the Planet's Paralysis would cease to exist. And in the future, they'd be able to see Grovyle and everyone ...

At least ... that's what Lax thought.

Nanya knew her time was coming. She could feel herself getting heavy. It was getting hard to walk.

'Perhaps ... now that we saved the world, my own demise is coming ...' Nanya thought with a heavy heart. Soon, she'd be leaving her best friend.

"Nanya, you coming?" Lax turned to her with a big smile. Even though he had those big scars and bruises on his body, he was determined to get back home. "Come on, let's get back to Treasure Town. Back to the guild! Everyone's waiting!"

Nanya nodded, and they walked a bit more. Suddenly, she saw a white light come from in front of her. And little by little, white and yellow lights started coming from her!

'Wh- what?' she thought. 'I'm glowing ..?' she looked sadly at Lax who hadn't yet noticed. 'This is it ... my time has come ...'

Finally, Lax looked back. He seemed surprised and confused. "N-Nanya," he asked. "What's going on? Why are you glowing?"

Nanya looked at her friend and put on a fake smile. "I've kept this to myself for a while now ... but it seems like I have to leave."
"Leave?" Lax asked confused. "What do you mean leave?"

She sighed, "Grovyle said ... when we stopped the planet's paralysis ..." she could feel herself getting choked up. Everything was getting blurry in her eyes. She tried her best to hold back tears. "That Pokemon from the future would ... disappear ..."

"Wh-what??" Lax asked. "Disappear?! But why?! I don't understand!" he said. Now he was getting upset.

"If we changed the future, us Pokemon from the future would cease to exist ... so I'm sorry. But this is farewell ..."

"B-but ... you can't leave. We've been through so much together ..." Lax moved a step closer to her. "You've always been there for me ..."

"I- I know, Lax ... and I'm so, so sorry ..." she hiccuped. "Please, you need to get home. Tell everyone what happened here, so nothing like this ever happens again ..."

"I- I will ... but, Nanya, I thought ..." he started crying. "I thought we were friends ..."
"Oh, Lax ..." she said, also beginning to cry. She struggled to move forward.

When she got close enough, she wrapped her arms around the Munchlax and hugged him tight. He buried his face into her chest and started sobbing.

"You've always been my best friend, Lax. Nothing will ever change that. Even after I disappear from here, I want you to know that you'll always be my best friend. I'll never forget you. To me, you're more important than anything else in the world ..."

"I feel the same, Nanya ... just please ... please don't go ..."
"I'm sorry, Lax ..."

She gently kissed the top of his hat. "I'll miss you ..."
"Me too ..."

And suddenly, Lax's shoulder's felt cold. He looked up from the warmness of her chest, and saw her vanishing. And just like that, she was gone. All that was left was a few bubbles of light fluttering into the sky.

"Nanya ..? Nanya?!" he cried out.

He fell to his knees and let out a cry. "NANYAAA!!"

The trek back home was going to be a difficult one.
