Heart think for a few seconds, thinking and mushing all the lecture Nathan have told to him. He find some rock to sit, seeing the view around him. He close his eyes for a second then talk again. "...you know? Back in my past, I have some companions who once training with me back in my time in my training times. My Clan was training in various types of styles of combat, but stealth it was our speciallity on our main focus. It was necessary change of strategy because of some conflict between clans. We were once masters of stealth and info gaining. Never though why I so good in stealth? I was a bit lack after so long time, but when we begun our adventures with you guys, facing Scimitars and all I have recover some of my former stealth skills."

"Anyway, the names of my old clans companions was Salazar and Homero. Well...tell them as companions its a bit too much. They help me a few times, but we never was "real" friends...but they were good people. Salazar was always a trouble maker, almost everytime putting us in trouble...and Homero was the smart one, the oldest of us three. Salazar would be more or less in your age..." Some tears was rolling in Heart eyes. "...his head was rip off from his body, and Homero die with a sword in his chest."

Heart then clean his eyes and try to focus again. "In our timeline Nathan all my clan is dead. My mother....My brother...and the only people I was once close have as friends....all of them...." Heart was with a sad face, remembering everything. "Everyday and everynight I remember every details, their faces, and the smell of burning skin....and to accept I am the last one. And carry this cross forever...Sometimes, the solitude its to much to bear and I simple...want to giving up. In put a end to this...miserable existence. My puns and laughts? Its just a mask to hide the sadness and loneliness, trying in vain to not fall in despair..."

"Even after so many years, it is difficult to accept I am alone. If we return to our time, who is waiting for me?" Heart balance his head. "I envy you guys. I really am. I envy you have a mother who love you so much and a awesome father who challenge the Elite four. I envy Shiva loveable parents...there is no one waiting for me in our timeline...but here..." Heart nods his hands in example to around them. "In this timeline...my clan its alive. Maybe...I could meet them, try to warn them about what kind of future wait for them. There could a reason why I am here. That or maybe...just a tragic joke you have say Nathan...."

Heart them put his hands in his head. "....the joke that, not matter I do, I cant change the fate of my clan. That there is no meaning in fighting or continue strugle. No matter I do here, death its the only certain fate for my clan." Heart then sit in the grass and look in the sky. "...if this is some sort of sick joke from Dialga, Celebi or even Arceus itself, I not laughting. And I the only PUNisher here. Damn you Creation Trio..."

That thoughs and emotions was flooding Heart mind for quite a while and he feel the need in share them with someone. "...since we have the luck or unluck in meet Legendaries, maybe we may meet The Creation Trio or even Arceus itself. If that time I comes, I swear I gonna punch in his divine face. Thats something would make me feel really better."

Nathan puts a hand on Heart's shoulder as he continues speaking.

"...at the moment, Heart, we're too far back in time to be able to do anything, let alone in the right region.  If we DO end up in that time, in the right place...then maybe we're supposed to do something about it after all.  That's how Celebi's time travel works.  Everything happens for a reason."

Nathan thinks for a moment.

"...maybe you wouldn't have become a traveler and seen all those cool places, eventually coming to Creshire, if that fire hadn't happened.  And now that you're here...maybe you can learn something that might be able to help.  Maybe that's what Celebi intended.  Maybe that's where Arceus is trying guide you.  To train yourself, better yourself...and restore your clan's honor in due time.  And if it happens to involve saving at least one member of your family...maybe that would make that journey worth it.  If you never confirmed everyone died, then maybe there's a chance someone got away after all.  There's also the journey to catch and bring to justice whoever's doing this, whoever's picking off those clans one by one...in my opinion, they're who you should be blaming for this.  They're the ones who caused it.  It's a small hope, maybe even a false one...but it's better than nothing, in my opinion."

Gallade puts a hand on Heart's shoulder too.

"...and you're not alone.  Not any more.  Never were.  Your pokemon are here for you, Rose most of all, and they always will be so long as you've earned that trust and companionship, right?  And I'll render what aid I can as well.  There has to be some kind of information out there on this...some kind of motive...and you can count on me to eventually find that information for you.  I don't know how long that might take or when I'll get the chance to look for it...but I'll find it.  You escaped, so let's try and make the most of it when the time comes, yeah?"

"...I can't really say much about the envy, unfortunately.  I just hope everything turns out okay for you in the end, ya know?"
