Line #10 TearJerker/HarryPotterPokemonMaster


1	* Jasmine realized early on, after seeing her father freeze up at seemingly innocent things, that he had PTSD due to the Johto/Kanto War. She brings it up to Clair she reveals that she knows and that for some people "the nightmares of war can never go away". The night after her parents were killed and Jack had brought her to Rogue's End, he asked her as she cried in the dark what she wanted and he would give it to her. She told him she wanted Kanto "to hurt". Jack would the next morning declare war on Kanto. Jasmine years later blames herself for what the war did to her father, as she has seen that despite his attempts to hide it the war left him broken. Jasmine later reveals that her brash persona is a facade she created because she wanted to be strong enough not to be a burden to her father; she decided to create it after she was kidnapped as a child and her father, after brutally murdering the kidnappers (the only time he let her see just how violent he can be), broke down sobbing begging her to forgive him for making her a target. She swore at that moment she would never make her father cry again.
2	* The entirety of ''Somewhere Only We Know-Wolves Interlude''. The Pack take Jack to Galar for his birthday and through the entire chapter Diantha thinks about how Jack hides how much pain he is in spiritually from having to be the revolutionary hero. Finally the rest of the Pack give Jack his present: for that day he doesn't have to pretend everything is okay. When it finally dawns on him what that means Jack breaks down, crying for "the boy he used to be... the man he would never be."
3	** It is STRONGLY implied in this chapter that the Pack, when they were teenagers, were [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil assaulted horrifically.]] That night they were forced to kill their captors and that's what forged their eternal bond. The memories still haunt Diantha so badly she won't speak of them.
4	* Harry's [[HeroicBSOD breakdown]] at the end of Chapter 40, where he states he is done with [[SoiledCityOnAHill Avalon]], how they have been acting like [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful]] [[WorldOfJerkass assholes]] unwilling to accept him for what he is, and that he actually believes ItIsBeyondSaving - because he cannot save the people of Avalon from themselves.
5	-->'''Harry:''' I can't save [[CrapsackWorld Avalon]]. And if I could... [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why should I?]]\
6	''His friends didn't have an answer.''
7	* The deaths of [=McGonagall=], Flitwick and Sprout at Voldemort's hands.
8	* Harry falling out with Jack and the rest of the Pack when they make it clear that they now are taking different approaches to fighting Voldemort. And Jasmine is left suffering from ConflictingLoyalties to her father and her boyfriend. [[spoiler:Except this is all just a ruse to hide the fact that Harry knows who Voldemort's newest host is.]]
9	* The opening of The Last Aura Knight. It flashforwards to nearly 150 years in the future, with Neville the last member of The Pride still alive. Luna disappeared 8 months earlier and Neville is still grieving for her. Because Harry got upset after the war about people constantly asking him questions about the War now NO ONE talks about it, meaning almost everything that happened is already being forgotten, with The Sons and Voldemort being treated as little more than myths.
