Surprisingly, not an ME loop.

So, you are here once again.
He gave no visible reaction to the voice that reverberated seemingly from everywhere, but continued looking out from on top the snow-capped peak. After a moment, he shrugged, "Eh, doing the same thing over and over again, it kinda gets boring, y'know?" He absently scratched the back of his companion's ears, earning him a satisfied churr.
After a few seconds of this, he finally decided to look to his side, and saw the magnificent creature that defied all physical description. It was magnificent, and, though it glowed with a light not meant to be beholden my the unworthy, for one such as him, he could clearly see the shape within.
"So, are you just here to bug me, or do I have to kick your ass again?" He smirked when the being seemed to bristle in indignation.
Oh, one time...
He chuckled, "Now, now. don't get too testy." He made placating motions, and this seemed to pacify the being at least.
The being 'hrrm'd', before it replied.
Believe it or not, I was just seeking companionship.
He turned to the being with mock-shock, "Really? Does that mean you're offering?"
The being bristled again, and he finally busted out laughing. He did this for a few minute, before he tapered off, then laid down on the snow-covered ground, not bothered by the cold.
The being made sure he was silent before continuing.
As I am a constant in this world, so have you become a constant as well. Though watching all my children struggle for their betterment, this crisis has made watching them...tedious.
The being turned its head to him, to which he just smirked in response.
Suddenly, his yellow-furred companion's ears perked up, "Pi?" It seemed to look around.
She approaches. The being intoned.
He nods, then stands up, patting off any stray snowflakes, "Heh, she always something interesting to beat me."
The being nodded.
As your people say it, I shall see you around, Red.
With his back to the cave entrance, and his feet planted near the edge of the cliff, Red only nods. He doesn't need to check that Arceus was already gone. And he was alone once more at the top of Mt. Silver.
"H-hello?" A young girl's voice stuttered out, both from the cold and from nervousness.
Red sighed, once again ready to face everything head-on.
And he couldn't be any happier.
"..." He turned to her, a Pokeball in hand. The Trainer, Lyra, if he remembers her name right, notices this, and understands, taking out a Pokeball of her own.
And a battle of Destiny begins, too Red, once again on top of Mt. Silver.
*****
OMAKE:
As Lyra faints from exhaustion, as well as the cold, Red immediately takes out another Pokeball, this one officially not part of his Party.
"Alakazam. Take her back to New Bark." He tosses the Pokeball, and a flash of red flight releases the Psychic Pokemon. With a nod, the Alakazam nods, then Teleports away.
As he looked down at the belt his injured party Pokemon were held in, the back of his neck tingled as a shower of pink light covers him. He sighed in relief as, from the bonds he had with his Pokemon, knew that they had been healed. Then he sighed in resignation as lithe arms suddenly wrapped gently around his neck.
"Hi, Red~" An upbeat female voice chirped, as Red was gently pulled into the woman's generous bust.
Red almost groaned, "Urgh, Mew..." Looking up, he saw the human form of Mew pout, "I mean, Mew-chan." Her face brightened, "Its good to see you. But I'm still not willing to experiment with human-Pokemon relations."
Mew pouted again, huffing as her soft pink hair ruffled against a cool breeze, not heeding the chill as she continued cuddling Red, "Aw, c'mon~! You promised."
"I said I would consider it." Red countered, trying not to get distracted by Mew's generous assets. "And I am not about ready to accept."
"Oh, pooh, that's not what you said to Celebi!"
Red groaned as the over-affectionate Legendary Pokemon in human form began an age-old argument.
He just knew that teasing Mew into human form was a bad idea.
Especially when he found out she had a slight thing for him.
He was sure Heatran was laughing at him now, that smug, gender-changing bitch/bastard, wherever he/she is at the moment.
