Yes, I know it's short. It's just a prologue so don't worry. The real chapters will be longer I promise. Please review.

Disclaimer- Nope, I don't own the Pokemon characters. I only own this awesome plot.


Prologue

"WHAT?!?!?" he stared at that one word written in beautiful cursive handwriting. He couldn't understand why it was on the page. He was confused, more than usual.

He turned to Brock who was standing behind him.

"Do you see this, too? Or am I just hallucinating?" he asked.

"No, I see it too Ash. This is definitely something I didn't expect to find out when we came here." He replied.

Ash closed the cerulean colored book and set it gently on the desk. He then took a small silver key and locked the heart – shaped lock on the book.

"I think we should get out of here before she finds out we've seen it." Brock suggested.

Ash didn't reply. He was numb all over. There was no emotion. He could barely hear Brock talk. All he wanted to do was figure out why she wrote it.

"Ash…" Brock's voice trailed off as he looked at the expression on Ash's face.

Ash heard footsteps coming from the stairs. He shot up out of the chair and ran out the room, making sure the door didn't make too much noise as he closed it behind Brock.

He ran to his temporary room and closed the door before Brock could come in. He sat on the bed and held his head in his hands. Ash couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe how much emotion that one word can have. It can cause joy and pain, hugs and tears.

Ash stared at the floor. He started to think about what could have caused her to write such a strong word.
