Opening Heroics..

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.

On a boat headed from Unova to Kanto, A young man, fifteen years old, sat looking out the window. He had messy raven hair and chocolate brown eyes. His name was Ash Ketchum. He had recently changed his outfit. He wore a black tee shirt underneath a blue coat. The coat had read round patches on the shoulders, elbows and end of the collar. He wore black jeans which had the same patches on the knees and brown boots. He also wore brown gloves that went halfway up his lower arms. He had recently put a stop to team plasma and narrowly lost to Alder, the Unova region Champion. After the battle, Alder had given him some advice..

' The one's you love are always with you. If you just believe.'

Pikachu awoke from his sleeping state. He saw Ash in a state of deep thought and concentration. Before Pikachu could say anything, the boat alarm began to sound, A bomb had been planted in the engine room and no one could disarm it. The next few minutes were a blur.. Because of his nature, Ash saw to it that everyone was evacuated to a lifeboat. Desperate to find out where he was he rushed up to the bridge as the boat began to sink. With what power the boat had he sent all his Poke'balls and Pikachu to Professor Oak's. As the ship exploded, Ash jumped into the cold night water avoiding a fiery death.

That night, a eighteen year old Lily Waterflower walked along the beach thinking about the coming holiday. She had long pink hair that went down to her shoulders. She wore a pink coat and red pants. She also wore white boots. This was her favorite season until last year. Misty had died of pneumonia. Ash was heart broken. As She, Daisy and Violet saw Ash's match against Alder, They noticed Ash was not his former self. She put her hands to her mouth. Ash was barely crawling out of the water. She ran to him and caught him as he fell. He was frozen and part of his leg was burned. She took him back to the gym immediately. She took Ash to her room. She laid Ash on her bed. She had been studying first aid. She had to get out of his wet clothes immediately, then attended to his leg. She then covered him up with a few blankets. Lily then put them in the dryer so they would be dry for him. She then laid next to him as to share her body heat.

'He's grown so handsome. And he's a real hero..' Lily thought to herself blushing. She knew then that she was in love with Ash Ketchum.
