>>53640015Becoming the champion wasn't supposed to end like this.
Becoming the strongest ever didn't mean... this...
Erin lay at the feet of her team. Almost all of them now corpses. The only one left standing was Chompers.
Sonata, Excalibur, Topsy, Thundara- all of them were dead.
Tate and Liza looked nearly as shocked as she did. Erin could hardly breathe.
She felt like she was choking- like she'd just perverted the very laws of the universe, and like this was all her fault.
How could she continue after this?
...Arceus only knew.
And yet, in three months' time, the trainer could be seen once again atop her Sharpedo, swimming along the Sootopolis coast looking to train an entirely new team from the ground up...
...it was clear to Erin, now, that nothing was going to stop her. NOTHING could.
Not even the end of the world as she knew it.
