The lasrifle felt good in their hands as they watched heads fly back from pinpoint aiming on their behalf. A trainer of few equal back home wanting to finally bring some meaning to their life in the stars beyond and find more Pokemon. They jumped down from their raised position- their body hit the ground as pain became their companion. No chance to grab one of the balls from their hip… no it would be too cruel to ask them to fight without their guidance. Trembling hands touched the wound bleeding and in pain. Oh their life flashed before their eyes…
The pokemon they've left behind back home… the friends they would never see again… their hands trembled as in their pocket they gripped a diamond… a time diamond from the lair of Dialga. They remember the disappointment in the recruitment office… no trainer who was currently in possession of or was from a family of caretakers for these beasts were strictly forbidden from joining the guard. Dialga seemed to know that and it left their side to allow them to join… no one can control a force of nature like a legendary for long and perhaps it was for the best. But oh… they still remember the tearful goodbye they gave to the master of time and the now broken promise that they would come back home after their term in the guard and be their partner again. They whispered an apology to the air… to Arceus… to Dialga that it was breaking the promise.

The sky choking on smoke and ash and ruin shifted to a bruised purple… it was as if the warp was bruising around reality… to which reality bent and cracked as Dialga leapt through the portal. Time melted around Dialga as it saw all possibilities and choices… and its red eyes moved around before resting where it needed to go.
It ignored everything around them as it glided to where it sensed the diamond. The mortal that had bested them… the mortal that had taken care of them… taken them to see the world again. It floated about them… the mortal was simultaneously dead… dying… hurt… eyes resting on a unmoving… barely moving… reaching out to them body. There were timelines where their human stayed on the planet… timelines where they had no desire to go into the hateful stars. Dialga touched the ground as the mud… bodies… blood… sank beneath its bulk. It should be happy with the knowledge that they were alive then and there… but Dialga was selfish for the here and now… selfish over time… selfish over the time that this being gave them. They were always selfish over that selfless sharing of time that mortals like this gave them… as this mortal… bled… bleeding out on the ground…. silent… pained… whispered breaths.
It bowed its massive head down resting their snout against their stomach… cold… cooling… still warm… as they were still… struggling… petting the side of their face. They lifted their head up and roared. Everyone on the planet could feel it… they could feel the burning of their cells as the God of Time screamed out and forced the hands of time to tick back precious seconds. Ticking Ticking Ticking back till those gentle gloved hands met their face as Dialga's bright red eyes met the face of the mortal that gave their own time to spend with it… smiled up at it. Their mortal was alive again… gentle hands petting the metal on the side of its head. Projectiles faded to dust as they zoomed towards and past the pair but as dust brushed their cheek, Dialga raised their head looking at the side that took their mortal from them and it roared.
It was a roar that echoed across time… as the other side of the field was ravaged as time rushed forward in the future or rushed into the past with explosive energy and force as trees and rocks and other land masses appeared and disappeared… water exploding out as somewhere in time that place was under the liquid… but the end result was the same… all in Dialga's gaze was turned to dust leaving them to focus on their injured… uninjured human.
