Final
Not long after the hostilities ceased, you see Korinna arriving atop her Hawlucha, landing near you. Then, she walks near Shaymin's motionless body and collects it, cuddling it in her arms with a saddened expression. "Thank you, stalwart defender", she whispers, closing her eyes, "your loss shall not be in vain. This, I vow". Then, pointing at you. "Come. We need...". She takes a brief pause. "To bury him... beneath the dial. Away from this corruption".
As you nod, she walks towards the dial, a glowing crystal of purity in a blighted landscape. However, as she lays the Grass-type's body on the uncorrupted ground, the dial begins shining more intensely. The light brights so intensely that you struggle to keep your eyes open, but you still manage to see... the body of Shaymin, lifted in air and shrouded in the very light of the dial. Then, a sudden burst blinds both you and Korinna. A few moments after you are able to see again... but Shaymin is no longer lying on the ground. You turn around, shocked at its disappearance. Then, you notice Korinna turned her gaze to the sky, overcome by awe.
Floating atop the dial summit, Shaymin seems to be smiling in your direction. Then, its petal-like red wings open wide, and the little creature flies off to the horizon.
"Shaymin...", murmurs Korinna. "That's what he tried to tell us. Even from death, life springs again". A smile crosses her face. "No matter how long night is, the sun will rise again. Let's return to the Pokemon League - we must return Shaymin's last word to our people".
"His last word?", you ask perplexed.
Korinna nods, looking in the direction Shaymin set off. "Hope".
You glance one last time at the Grass-type hedgehog before heading back, but you can't make a step before another two mysterious creatures block your path. At first glance they look like a couple of Dragonair, but their crimson skin, purple pearls, and dark blue eyes quickly identify them as something different... yet, they don't seem hostile. An aura of calm and benevolence surrounds them, and even the withering grass seems to bloom with life once again in their presence. They can't speak to you, but even if you don't know how, you can feel their sentiments. You realize that they are grateful for what you did in order to redeem the shrine, and they apparently wish to join you in your last stand against darkness. Korinna watches the scene in silence, then nods at you.
