Title: Reunion

{Based off of the Swap AU that @jsab-fujii and I have created together.}

Duskull stared. Hadn’t... hadn’t he just been-...? Hadn’t he and Treecko-...? How was he back...?

The two of them had disappeared—the two of them had died. It had been horrible—it had been frightening—but at least Treecko had been there with him during it all.

He could remember everything clearly that had happened, and where it had happened. This wasn’t where it had all taken place.

Duskull found himself on the beach. The beach where he and Treecko first appeared—the beach where the two of them liked to visit a lot—it was always nice and peaceful.

While this was great—not being dead was great—he wasn’t disappearing again—Duskull still had several questions.

Why was he back? How did he manage to come back—wasn’t what happened supposed to be forever? And...

...Where was Treecko?...

As Duskull looked around his surroundings a little further, he didn’t see anybody else around on the beach. It was just him. Where.. where was his friend...? Was it only himself who managed to return? Why? For what reason?

That... that wasn’t fair! If Duskull was allowed to return, he wanted Treecko to be able to return, too! Treecko was his best friend, and, if he wasn’t here... it wouldn’t be the same. He’d miss him.

He already did.

With or without his friend, Duskull didn’t know what he’d do. He could... maybe go to the Guild? Say hello to everybody that was there?

Maybe he could go say hello to Dialga or Celebi, or Prism and Styx? Although, he didn’t really know where any of them would be right now. Were any of them even here?

Styx had been from the future, too... she must’ve disappeared aswell. Was he going to stay like that? Would Styx and Treecko stay disappeared, while only Duskull had returned?

Still unsure on what he should do now, but not wanting to stay on the beach any longer, Duskull decided to leave.

...He didn’t get that far, though, before he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.

A golden light. He remembered that clearly. It had surrounded him and Treecko when the two were originally disappearing. Including when Duskull had returned a few moments ago.

What was happening...?

Curiously, Duskull stopped in his tracks, and turned around to look and see what exactly was happening.

He immediately gasped, and his eyes widened. A few feet away from him... as the light was disappearing, was a familiar grass type.

“T-Treecko...? TREECKO!” Duskull exclaimed—he could feel his eyes beginning to get watery. But, unlike last time, it wasn’t out of fear or sadness.

This time, it was from relief and and happiness. So much. He wasn’t the only one to have come back.

Treecko, who had started to check himself over and look at his surroundings, turned around just in time as Duskull got to his side, hugging him tightly.

The two of them almost fell over onto the sand, but Treecko managed to keep them both up.

He smiled, staring down at his friend, quickly returning the hug. “Hey, Duskull,” The Treecko pat his friend’s back, “I promised you everything would be alright.”
