The rift drew him inexorably forward and Jack's spirit passed back into the realm of the living.[break][break]
On the peak of Mount Pyre chaos erupted around his spectral form. He watched it all from a detached perspective, the heat and pain of the violence seeming far off even as he watched it directly in front of him. And after everything, Hoenn's defenders won the day. Meteno no longer glittered in the sky above like the waiting headsman's axe, Father Winter was slain, and the gigantic Palkia was freed from his evil influence.[break][break]
His spirit hovered listlessly through the pockets of people and pokemon celebrating and tending to one another's wounds when a familiar voice caught his attention. Turning, he saw a masked figure speaking with the ghostly spirit of an Aggron with a voice that was unmistakably Isaac Merlo. Jack floated closer toward his new friend from another time when the man's words pulled him up short. Even had Jack not heard the words they were saying, the breaking and tearful voice told him all he needed to know: this was something special, something private.[break][break]
Jack turned again, putting distance between Isaac and his Aggron and the other disguised figure that had been with him. That was when the realization struck him, the scene replaying over again in his mind as he finally took in the details. In this form, he felt detached from his emotions but the feeling of betrayal stung him like a Combee: Isaac was here with Team Rocket.[break][break]
In a daze, Jack found his body lying cold and broken on the ground. He laid down, his hazy spirit overlapping his physical form, and opened his eyes.[break][break]
As his chest filled with breath again, he saw Gunner faint and smash his head against a rock. The man's Alakazam cried out in alarm and pain ripped into Jack's brain as he pushed himself to his feet while pieces of his torn and burned uniform sloughed away from him. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he rushed to Gunner's side as he released his Togekiss.[break][break]
"Please, he's in bad shape," Jack pleaded through gritted teeth. His Togekiss looked between the two men, uncertain of whether to take care of the fallen officer or her own trainer. An agonized gasp of gratitude escaped him as the Jubilee Pokemon channeled Jack's wish and healing energies bloomed around Gunner.[break][break]
Jack attempted to scramble forward again to check on the man when a firm hand gripped his shoulder. Turning, he saw the smirk of his timeline's Father Winter before the hand yanked him back through another portal of swirling blue light.
