Indigo was in awe.
As they climbed the ancient peaks of the mountains and rose to the tallest pillars of Cloud Temple, the clouds swarthed them. For a moment, everything was fuzzy and foggy.
But with Zvi's commands, the dragons raced to the top, bequeathing a sight upon them they would never forget. Even when he became old and gray, Indigo would look upon this moment for years to come, the memory as crisp and clear as it was at this instant.
At the top of the pillar was a pokemon Indigo had only seen in textbooks, cave drawings and ancient paintings at that. The legendary rainbow bird! Ho-oh was the physical manifestation of flames and color, mighty and magnificent as it bathed them in its lustrous glow. No description would have ever been enough for what they were seeing--or feeling, for that matter.
Indigo froze as his eyes became level with Ho-oh's. Those fierce, but wise eyes that hid hundreds of years of wisdom. They seemed to shift from every angle--hazel at first, turning into a fiery red, then becoming molten pools of gold. Indigo couldn't blink. They pierced into him, leaving no secrets behind.
Ho-oh... Would this deity hear his pleas? Would it spare him even a thought? He wasn't sure, but he had to try. Help me get Hero back, please. He was sure it might have been all for naught. What did Ho-oh think of him? It probably despised him. People like him were the reason humans never laid eyes upon Ho-oh after all.
He looked down, swallowing the lump in his throat. Then again, didn't the legends say Ho-oh only chose to appear before truly kind, pure-hearted trainers? If the stars had aligned and somehow he was seeing Ho-oh, then maybe there was hope for him yet. Maybe he had the capacity to become the type of trainer Ho-oh respected. I like the idea that I could improve... Whether it's true or not, it's what I have to believe to keep going. He exhaled. Ho-oh... Please believe in me.
Feeling a gust of air, his eyes snapped open as he saw Ho-oh flap its gigantic wings, leaving a trail of glittering light behind its wake. No! Was Ho-oh leaving already? His heart pounded in his chest. This couldn't end so soon! Maybe we can catch up... But as Ho-oh took off, it quickly became evident that their dragons speed could not match that of the legendary creature. Soon, the rainbow splendor that had just witnessed was reduced to a faint glow in the distance.
The exhilaration kept up for the rest of the ride to Zanna town. Much like Margo, Indigo was quiet and contemplative. There was so much to say about their experience, but the silence was more than enough.
Once they landed, Indigo wasn't sure where to go. But he knew that he wanted to go someplace quiet and peaceful.
Not exactly studious, the answer surprised him as it would have anyone. "I'm kind of feeling some place lowkey. How about the library?"

Posted~ hope its okay
Indigo was baffled, not even registering Old Man Nobu's words at first. "What?" He shook his head, feeling dazed. This was some kind of prank, wasn't it? It had to be.
"You're kidding," Indigo insisted. Nobu shook his head. He pointed above them at a Drampa in the sky, and the shadowy figure of someone sitting on the pokemon.
"Dan!" Indigo waved his arms.
"HEY! DAN!" He cupped his hands around his mouth and tried to shout as loud as he could.
"I'm sorry young man," Nobu said as gently as he could.
Still speechless, Indigo opted to look at the letter instead of attempting to say anything. He unfolded the paper and sure enough, Dan's scrawl was on the page.
This... Really is a letter from him.
Hey Indy and Margo,
I know this seems really sudden. But I really needed to leave. It's not really anybody's fault, and it's not an emergency or anything. I just needed to go.
For awhile now, I've felt really uncertain about my journey. It's not really something I can explain, it's just something I feel, you know? Maybe it was something in Pewter, or it could have been something before then, but it's just. There were some words after, but they had been scratched out and scribbled on.
Let me try this again. Damn, this is hard. I've never been real good with trying to explain this stuff. You guys would know, right?
I guess one thing I'm trying to do is build up my pokemon again. My friendship with them, I mean. I think I need to stop focusing on my journey for me, and really go back to them. They're the ones that brought me this far, after all. I think going back home and having us all just spend time together without getting worried about battles or winning... Well, I just think it'll be good for us.
Then, you know, there's my condition or illness or whatever you want to call it. I think I need a riding pokemon to help me get around, but like I said, I can't really get new team members when the ones I've got aren't happy, you know? So... that's another thing.
But I want to do this right. I want to make up for everything I've done. There's an orphanage in Lavender Town, just a train ride away from Cerulean. It's a little long of a ride, but I think I'll start working there for a bit. Maybe a few times a week? Haven't thought out the details too much, but I want to help pokemon more. I think volunteering's gonna help me out a lot.
I know it seems sudden, but like I said, this has all been on my mind for awhile now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys, it's just I know that I would have stayed if I did. But the point is, I couldn't stay. I just hope you guys can forgive me.
Sincerely,
Dan
Although Dan hadn't actually had anything terrible happen to him, Indigo still felt a sting in his chest. Damnit, I thought we said no more secrets last night. At the same time, he couldn't be too upset. Daniel was simply working on himself and that was to be admired, not scowled upon. The abruptness of it all, however, left an empty spot in Indigo. It was as if their potential adventures together had been whisked away from underneath him.
"I'm happy for him," Indigo said finally, breaking the silence.
"He's going after what's best for him. And that's... Great."
Nobu smiled. "It's not the end of anything, just so you know, it's really a new beginning for all of you."
"You're kidding," Indigo insisted. Nobu shook his head. He pointed above them at a Drampa in the sky, and the shadowy figure of someone sitting on the pokemon.

@Balthazar007for sure! Thank you! That helps a lot. Ill edit indigos post soon! Sorry this week is craaazy.
I will edit indigo's post to include dan's disappearance.
Edit: actually... is there any chance we could have it so dan went back home? A trainer dissapearing into thin air is such a terrifying thought and i feel like indigo and margo would probably be pretty traumatized by it. Im not saying Dan can't dissapear, perhaps he disappears, but he dissappears after he goes back home. im just saying for now, could we have a safer send off? Just so that... idk.. just so that the chars aren't super traumatized?
If not, then i think i could still make it work. Buy it would be challenging because realistically, idk if anyone could just continue on after their longtime friend dissappeared you know?
