 It only felt like yesterday that he had been sitting in a Mauville lecture hall, idly tapping his pen against his notebook as he did his best to absorb information that he cared little for, resisting the urge to let blue eyes drift towards a stretch of blue outside the window.

But here it was again, New Year’s Eve; sneaking up behind him after a year of twists and turns, announced to him since he had woken up this morning in the form of a barrage of texts from his family. Reminding him, telling him not to forget…

Of course he wouldn’t let it slip his mind. Although Angelo had long outgrown the Alto Marian tradition, he’d made a promise to his siblings and so he dutifully trudges off to do his part. Climbing up a hill that had a nice view of the ocean, Angelo shrugs his backpack onto the grass and throws himself down alongside it, idly sipping at a cheap beer can. He’d be celebrating for real later on tonight but some pre-drinking wouldn’t hurt… It helped dull the pang in his chest, lonely and a little sad, from being away from canals and narrow pathways he had called home during this time of year.

You really think they’re going to believe that this can fly all the way from Hoenn to Alto Mare? Okay, maybe not Lucia, she’s probably too old to believe in this stuff now… Ugh, shit, that’s a weird thought.” Angelo muses with a soft smile at the Clefairy who joined him, Lyra’s eyes bright as she rummages through his backpack to produce a wad of crisp white paper. “Thanks, Ly.” He tips back another sip, then balances the can on the grass so he can get to work, grabbing a pen and starting to scribble on the sheet.

Next, he folds the paper, pressing his thumb against the corners to smooth them flat, following a specific pattern that had been drilled into his brain from years of making his own and ‘helping’ with his siblings. His resolutions slowly become hidden, all of the crossed-out lines and unfinished oaths sealed shut, until only ‘DO BETTER!!!’ remains visible. Angelo blinks down at it, lips missing a common curl, before he silently continues on.

Slowly the origami plane begins to take shape, with a long neck and wings that Angelo has hastily coloured in blue in the appropriate places, taking the familiar shape of a legendary. It didn’t matter that he was fumbling around, folding it on the grass, he’s created these tiny aerodynamic versions of the Eon Duo a hundred times over by this point that he’s sure he can do them in his sleep.

There, not too bad… What do you think? Acceptable or does it look like Emilio did it?” The Clefairy at his side claps her paws together.

He then hands the carefully folded Latios to Lyra, leaning in close to her as he takes a selfie with both of them in it, grin purposefully wide and goofy with a peace sign – paper plane filled with resolutions and hopes held aloft.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! MISS & LOVE U ALL! SENDING THIS SPECIAL DELIVERY BY AIRMAIL SO LATIOS & LATIAS GET IT AT THE SAME TIME AS URS. I'LL CALL U SOON HAVE FUN TONIGHT PS. TELL ERI THAT SHE BETTER BEHAVE HRSELF THIS YEAR!"

 Hitting send, Angelo tucks his phone away and turns back to Lyra, taking the paper plane that had been neatly folded between his fingers. It felt a little weird, sending the Latios off into the skies alone. Usually the children of Alto Mare all lined up along their balconies, hillsides or at the edge of the docks to send their creations off into the skies – a flock of coloured paper drifting into the sunset. Laughter and the screeches of the younger residents filling the streets as their resolutions, hopes and dreams for the next year, are ‘guided into Latios and Latias’s care’ on the breeze.

Turning the plane around, Angelo lays back in the grass and listens to the distant sound of waves lapping against the rocks below. Lyra shuffles closer to press against her trainer’s side, as if sensing the loneliness emanating off him. Blue eyes close briefly, wondering if he could envision himself back there, amongst his siblings as they swarm around the kitchen table folding up their own flock in lively chatter.

Is it bad,” he murmurs to the Clefairy, only really half talking to her as his eyes flutter open again, watching thoughtfully as he guides the paper version of the blue guardian like a plane above his head. “That I… I miss them. But I think I’m going to miss this place just as much...

If Lyra has something to say, Angelo doesn’t hear it; too busy thinking of Alto Mare’s canals and Hoenn’s tropical oceans as the Latios beak taps contemplatively - sadly - against his lips.

 Safe travels, fratello,” he tells the plane as he stands on the edge of the cliff, salt air intermingling on the breeze and ruffling his hair. Will it make it all the way to Alto Mare? Physically, no. But if there’s anything that the legacy of the creature emblazed on the paper has taught him, it’s that the spirit – the soul – can be unyielding in its duty for its beloved ones. His resolutions will be with his siblings, even if the paper plane doesn’t make it even past the beach or if he can’t be beside them in person. Just like how the Latios’s soul from the island’s history remains within Alto Mare, looking over his sister and his home.

Angelo releases the plane into the sky, ocean breeze carrying the folded paper with his hastily scribbled promises held within. He watches it fly for a little while, drifting free until he can’t see it anymore; lost among the rays of the slowly sinking sun.

Alright, let’s go - we’ve got to get to Lilycove before it gets late.” Fixing a small smile on his face, Angelo bends down to scoop up his belongings and tip back the beer can to get the last few drops. “Don’t want the Captain getting impatient… Or drinking all the good stuff before we get there,” his smile turns a little more genuine then, looking forward to the distraction as much as the company in question.

Blue eyes turn towards Lyra, who was engaging with a Horsea at the water edge, both of them looking like they were enjoying one another’s conversation. Angelo exhales fondly and pulls his backpack over his shoulder, making his way towards the pair and crouching down; hand planting atop the Clefairy’s head in an affectionate ruffle. It wasn’t so long ago she’d cower behind his legs at the sight of someone new… Time flies, he thinks with fond sadness.

Is that your resolution, Ly? Make new friends?” He asks, watching as the Horsea seems undeterred from his presence and even when he ushers his Clefairy to follow, the water pokemon swims beside them along the beach edge. “You coming along for the party, too? Think we can make enough room for one more.” Angelo chuckles.
