Hey guys! This is my first FanFic so please have mercy with me :)
We've got a little Abilityshipping here, cause its my favourite pairing. I must give special thanks to Ability King KK because his stories about Sato and Lila are one of the reasons I started this story.

Japanese Names:

Satoshi = Ash
Lila = Anabel
Hanako = Delia (Ash's mother)
Hikari = Dawn
Haruka = May
Dr. Okido = Professor Oak
Enishida = Scott
Takuto = Tobias

Oh! Almost forgot the Disclaimer:

I do not own Pokémon or the characters in this story because if I do, Sato and Lila were already a pair in the anime.

Chapter 1: The End of a Journey

It was a warm day at the end of summer when Satoshi came back from his travels in Sinnoh. The young boy was walking down Route 1 to his home, Pallet Town. But instead of being happy for finally being back at home he was lost in his thoughts.

' It's almost a year since the last time I saw her. Damn me and my stupidity for being so dense and not recognizing what she was feeling. Aaaarrrrrgh… Damn it!'

Pikachu, sitting on his trainers shoulder looked at him, narrowing its eyes. "Pika-Pi?"

"Yeah buddy, I'm thinking of Lila again. I hope everything is fine with her. The last time I saw her was when I got my Abilitysymbol."

"Chu?"

"No, don't worry Pikachu. I'm fine." Sato said with a smile on his face. But his lifetime friend could see clearly that his smile never reached his eyes.

At the same time near Tojoh Falls

'I wonder if he already forgot me'

A girl with short lilac hair and matching eyes was sitting at the window in her bedroom, her head resting against the cool glass and in her hand she was holding a small letter and a picture of a young boy. The boy had raven-black hair and was wearing a red and white cap. The girl was holding on the picture for dear life, while she was quietly sobbing against the window.

"Espe?" a cat-like Pokémon sitting at her side asks her.

"Its okay Espeon. I'm fine. He probably has found himself a nice girl back at Sinnoh and doesn't even remember me."

"Espe, Esp" the Pokemon responded.

Back on Route 1

At the next morning, Sato was relieved to see the first houses of Pallet Town in the distance.

'I'm home.'

Half an hour later he was already knocking on the door of his house. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman with light brown hair and brown eyes. "Sato-kun! You're home! Why didn't you write a letter? Come on in! I make you a little breakfast."

"Thanks Kaasan, I'm starving."

"Pika-Pikachu!"

"Of course you're getting a big bottle of ketchup Pikachu" Hanako sayed smiling, coming back into the dinning room with a plate full of sandwiches for Sato. "Kaasan! That's enough to feed a freaking army!" Sato said as he looked at plate, which was stuffed with at least two dozens sandwiches.

"You are to skinny sweetie. You don't eat enough on your travels. Anyway, how was travelling around Sinnoh like?"

"It was wonderful. I've seen so much new Pokémon and places! There was also this girl, Hikari. We met her on our first day in Sinnoh."

"Oh! Don't say you've got a girlfriend over there?"

"Nah. She is more like a sister to me. Actually she reminds me a lot of Haruka. She wants to become a Master Coordinator too."

While telling her all these things he was smiling, but Hanako didn't miss the sad look in his eyes. 'I wonder what he's thinking about' she thought. 'Well, if he doesn't want to speak about it I wont bother him. For now.'

After finishing with breakfast (and eating ALL sandwiches) Sato walked around Pallet Town, meeting some old friends or visiting places he liked in his childhood. But no matter how much he tried to be happy for being home again, he only could think of one person:

'Lila'

Sniff... Oh how cruel of me to let this chapter end here!
But don't worry. Chapter 2 will be up in no time! Like Ability King KK I will try to use the Japanese names for all characters, because in my opinion they sound way better than the english ones.

Please write a lot reviews so I can make this story even better!

So long my friends!
