So, I actually don't know when Advanceshipping Week is, no matter how much I google. Quite the disgrace.
Even if I did know when the week was, I'm certain I can't do a prompt a day, hence I've resolved a prompt a week. That gives time to write and proofread.
The week's prompts: Future, Battle Frontier, Manaphy, Reflection, Terracotta Ribbon, Memories and Free Choice (I've picked Medieval).
I don't own Pokémon.
DAY 1: FUTURE
Black.
The darkness she tasted. The silence she saw. The tastelessness she felt.
And there was nothing she could do about it.
White.
The blinding light she sensed. The cacophony she tasted. The array of flavours she saw.
And there was nothing she could do about it.
Blur.
The squiggles that made her father. The blocks that formed her mother. The unseemly shapes that comprised of her brother.
She couldn't make sense of any prominent features. And there was nothing she could do about it.
May had long made peace with the fact that she would never be able use her senses correctly. No matter how many doctors she saw or how many treatments she tried, nothing changed.
Nothing will change she believed. And there was nothing she could do about it.
Till one day, her fate changed.
The simple task of collecting her first Pokémon led to meeting him. What really drew May to him was the stark contrast with which she saw him. Against the blurry background, she saw his warm eyes. 'Z' shaped marks on his cheeks. The individual strands of his messy hair. The way his lips curled up when he saw her.
"Hi! My name is Ash Ketchum, and this is my partner, Pikachu!"
Those words, like a splash of water in her monochrome ocean dissolved. Colours jumped out at her and an array of smells tickled her nose. May was at a complete loss for words.
There was nothing she could do about it. But he certainly could.
"Do you…wanna travel together?"
