Ash and Misty run over to me along with someone else. I recognize him as Brock, the Pewter City Gym leader. "You won the match then?" I asked. "Not exactly," Ash replied, "He gave me badge though. Were those more shadows?"

 "Yes," I reply, "As you can see, the can cause a lot of destruction and panic. They are drawn to me because they can sense that I am a Persona-user. I don't know how they got here, but I know they won't stop coming to try to kill me." "Why would they try to kill you?" Brock asked.

"A shadow can sense Persona-users, and... How should I put this? Personas and their users are like predators, and the shadows are like prey. The prey senses danger, but instead of running, it tries to kill the predator. Shadows may be mindless beings, but if they get out of control, they can be really lethal."

 "Naru," Ash says, "Are there other Persona-users?" "Yes, but they aren't here." I reply. His question brought so many memories to mind. Going inside the TV to save somebody, accepting my shadow, making some new friends. Then a question comes to mind.

 "Why are you still letting me travel with you? I thought that after the shadows attacking you would tell me to leave." "What?!" Ash says surprised, "Naru you saved our lives. You saw the shadows coming up behind us and protected us from them. Who cares if the shadows are coming after you? You're still our friend, right?"

 What he said gave me more power and I remember what Jesus told me last journey, "As you make new friends, your Personas power will grow, but not only will its power grow, so will yours. Each person's affect is different depending on them"

 Ash, Misty, and Brock had become my friends, and I had grown in power. I would always have this friendship, no matter what happened.
