* The following fic may seem like the opening to Love Hina
but the entire fic isn't a copy clone of Love Hina. Its far different. Enjoy
the story.
Chapter 1: No Memory
The sun shined bright with hardly a
cloud in the sky. The playground was
packed with children playing and having fun.
In one of the sandbox there was were two children building a mini
castle, a boy, and a girl.
Boy: Lets build this one taller than the last one.
Girl: Lets build it like it was in PKMN Society.
PKMN Society is a high-class
training academy. Normally any training
facilities for pokemon are called universities or schools but because PKMN is
the most distinguished and most successful out of any school it holds its own
site. The whole PKMN Society is not
really just a school but also a small city full of students, hence the Society
in the name. PKMN Society was an entire
city of trainers that work and function to keep the city in a good condition
and also strive for academic excellence.
Girl: They say if a couple went to PKMN Society together they'd fall in
love and get married.
The girl looked at the boy and held
his hand. At a quick instant she kissed
him.
Girl: Lets get in PKMN Society and fall in love then get married.
Boy: O . . . Okay.
That day they built a big sun castle
that was nearly taller then them. There
was nothing but white for awhile but . . .
Girl: Bye bye, I'm sorry I'm going right now. I'll meet you at PKMN Society!
I PROMISE!!
Boy: I promise to meet you there!
I promise! I LOVE YOU!!!!
Then there was black.
*****
Suddenly Ash woke up sitting
up. He had a dream, a strange dream
about something to do with children.
Ash: Maybe it has something to do with . . . my past?
Ash quietly sat and meditated on his
thoughts. He tried to recall any
information he could about anything about himself and his past. It was too hard; he couldn't see anything at
all. Only remember waking up in the
hospital one day with heavy bandages around his head and only knowing his name
is Ash.
Ash: I wish I could remember.
Remember everything that I forgot since I hurt myself.
Ash stood up and stretched his
arms. He walked over to his apartments
balcony and looked at the city.
Ash: Guess I'm a bit early for work.
He woke up an hour earlier from his
normal waking up time. He made himself
some coffee, breakfast, and go into his normal morning routine. He took his time being a full hour ahead he
could do some thinking about anything.
Ash: Isn't today pay day? Hmmm
it is. Didn't even realize it.
Ash took a bite out of his toast as
he read the morning paper. He worked at
a nearby aquarium as one of the caretakers of the marine pokemon. It was strange that he didn't know how he
knew how to do his job but only that he could do it very well. It also didn't bother him too much but it'd
be nice to know more about anything.
Having amnesia sucked but what can anyone do about it. He knew some things and remembered some
information in the past year or so.
First of he knew his age, it was nineteen. Next he knew so many facts about pokemon in general as well as
how to care for them. He found out his
attraction to marine pokemon when he got a part time job at the aquarium, which
later turned, into a full time career.
After some research made Ash found out he was a top class pokemon
trainer but no other information was disclosed to the public computers. If only he could remember the log in and
pass word to the trainers file he would know where he was from and remember
more things about himself. Remembering
isn't a thing that can be controlled so easily. Most of the time simply just remembering anything forgotten is
far more valuable then actually doing something productive. Ash had to push himself if he wanted to
survive and he liked the challenge. It
took him a lot of hard work and saving to find a reasonable apartment to live
in and making a living out of his job.
Ash: Looks like bad weather today.
I better bring my coat.
After breakfast and morning duties,
Ash dressed up and headed for work.
*****
The aquarium hardly had any visitors
that day. The rain was probably the
reason why but it didn't bother Ash, there was less work to do. After he finished feeding the horseas in the
tank he sat down on a near by bench to think.
Ash wanted to remember anything at all even trivial information. Regaining his past would mean a choice to go
back to it or keep his future, but he at least wanted a choice. Ash closed his eyes and tried to
remember. Images of his dream appeared
in still frames. A young boy and girl
playing in the sandbox, a large sand castle, a few other sand structures, he
couldn't hear what they were saying, a kiss, Ash tried to filter in the details
but it got harder to keep the image.
His mind couldn't see the face of the girl or boy then the image faded
from his mind. Carefully Ash relaxed
and tried to recall another image in his mind.
It was another image from another dream he had. They were all in still frames but it came
out a bit clearer. Ash saw himself when
he was younger holding a pokeball and battling someone. He didn't know who this person was but he
looked about the same age and also wore a ying and yang charm around his
neck. The image faded and Ash was
snapped back into reality. He was
awakened by the call of a young female that looked down at him.
Lina: Ash? Hello? Are you there?
Ash blinked a few times and
scratched his head. He was a bit annoyed
being snapped back to reality but it was forgotten with a nice smile looking
down at him.
Lina: Ash why are you always daydreaming? Look I brought lunch.
Ash smiled back at Lina. Lina was the young part owner of the lunch
stand near the aquarium. Her mom was
the proud owner of her own restaurant in the city and having a small lunch
stand near a tourist attraction was handy to make pocket money. Lina was only seven teen years old but she
looked older for her age. She had
blonde shoulder length hair and wore a blue shirt with a black vest. Jeans looked very good on her and she had
worn out sneakers to match.
Ash: Is it lunchtime already?
Lina: Ya have an hour more but I'm hungry. Come'on lets have lunch already.
Ash: Okay, can't argue with a girl's stomach.
Lina: You're so silly.
Ash and Lina had lunch together for
the past two years. At first Ash
normally bought his lunch at the stand but after awhile Lina just gave them to
him without any charge though there was a single condition, he'd have to spend
lunch with her. Ash simply accepted the
deal and they've made it into their daily routine in life.
Lina: So Ash what were you thinking about something back there?
Ash: Oh it's nothing.
Lina lightly pinched Ash's left arm.
Lina: Liar. I don't believe
you. Better say now or I'll pinch
harder.
Ash lightly chuckled. Lina probably got her kicks interrogating
Ash all day.
Ash: Okay I was just trying to remember something.
Lina: Remember what?
Ash: Anything.
Lina recalled that Ash is suffering
from amnesia. She haven't thought about
his problem that much since he really didn't bring it up. Also he looked like he lived a normal life
without many problems so she just forget that Ash had amnesia.
Lina: Oh it's about your amnesia.
Did you remember anything?
Ash: Nothing that important, just remembered about previous dreams.
Lina: Ah so was it about that mystery guy with the ying yang
charm? Or was it the guy with an
Onix? Did you remember who that guy you
say had a head band on? I'd like to
know that guy he sounds cute.
Ash: . . .
Lina: Although your far more cuter.
Ash: . . .
Lina: Ash! I'm just
teasing! You're always so serious.
Ash looked right into Lina's
eyes. Lina's heart started to pound
harder, she started to think about many thoughts. Maybe Ash was coming onto her?
Why was he looking into her eyes?
Then what got even more suspicious was the way Ash was reaching for her
face, could he be . . .
Ash: There's ketchup on your cheek.
Ash returned eating his lunch, Lina
on the other hand was nearly ready to fall over from the thrill kill. With a light sigh she sipped at her soda
thinking when will Ash ever ask her out or anything at all. Lina liked Ash very much. At first it was an attraction to his cute
face and eyes but later she started to become very fond of his personality and
she never knew anyone quiet like Ash.
Sure she met other guys who were really cool but they all wanted to do
things that were a bit unimaginable and unmentionable. After lunch they both returned to work till
the day was done.
Ash stamped his time sheet and
signed in his name on the records. He
walked into the locker room and changed from his marine uniform plus white coat
to something less flashy. In his locker
were a few extra changes of clothes just in case he got too wet while caring
for the pokemon. His attire consist of
a white shirt with blue short sleeve jacket, black jeans, a red and white cap
that he always clipped onto his belt rather than wear it, and his biker
gloves. It was strange when he thought
about his gloves that they serve almost no purpose for him. He thought he knew how to ride a motorcycle
but after some accidents he realized he couldn't. The gloves meant something but he didn't know what. He wore them even though he had no use for
it but maybe he could remember something from his past with them on. Ash combed his hair in front of the mirror
getting the spike look that he liked so much.
He reached for his glasses on the shelves and put them on. He looked very different with glasses
on. He did well without glasses and he
could still see clear without them however the doctors that tended to him when
he was in the hospital gave it to him because of a mild case of
stigmatism. From then on Ash wore his
glasses and people viewed him more intellectually with them on.
Ash: I might need to get a new pair, these are getting worn out.
It has been three years since he got
the pair and they were a generic brand too.
Ash's budget was pretty stable with a good amount of spending money left
for anything he wanted. He didn't spend
too much money though; saving money was more of a habit since he lived by
himself.
Once fully dressed and ready to
leave Ash picked up his bag and whatever things he'd take home with him and
headed out. Once again Lina greeted him
before she closed down her stand. She
handed him a bottle of juice so he'd sit a bit and waited for her to finish.
Lina: Try this mixture I made it myself.
Ash: So how was business today?
Slow I bet.
Ash took a few gulps and Lina
continued locking in and putting the money in a safety box. She mentioned the small customers of the
day, the regulars that visited and the tourist that often visited the aquarium.
Lina: I had better days.
The rain started up again and a few
angry clouds blackened the sunset. Lina
frantically hurried to close up shop so she wouldn't get wet in the rain. Once the stand was fully closed up the rain
had began to pour very hard, it looked like a thunderstorm was headed towards
the city.
Ash: Need an umbrella?
Lina looked towards Ash and there he
was holding his personal umbrella. It
wasn't that big, only big enough for one person but Ash was offering to share.
Lina: Sure.
Lina didn't live too far away, only
three blocks down the road. Ash lived
two blocks away from Lina's apartment and they've been to each others
before. The rain poured without any rest
and both Ash and Lina got wet. Half
their sides where soaking wet while the other remained dry. It was hard to stay under the umbrella but
for Lina it was a given opportunity to be very close to Ash.
Ash: Okay here we are.
Lina hardly realized they were
already there. She wished they could
walk around the block a few times, talk abit, have a really long conversation
and maybe go out to get a bite to eat.
Lina: That'd be a date already.
Ash: What was that?
Lina realized her mistake of saying
her thoughts out loud, she quickly covered up her error.
Lina: I said, looks kinda late already. As in like how dark it is.
Ash: Oh yeah, it does look late.
Well I'll see ya tomorrow, bye bye Lina.
Ash then walked off. Lina wanted to ask if he wanted to stay at
her apartment till the rain settled down and maybe have dinner with her but Ash
was a bit far gone when she even thought of asking him.
Lina: Bye bye Ash.

Girl: Exactly when are you going to pay me back for my bike?
Boy: When I make it big.
Girl: That's what you always say.
Boy: Don't worry, I'm better than I use to be. This time I know I'll make it big. I'm gonna win so I can make everyone proud
of me.
Girl: Are you sure about that?
About winning?
Boy: I'm sure of it. With you
by my side how could I not win.
Girl: That's awfully sweet to say. . . Ash.
*****
Ash woke up. He was sitting on his couch with the TV
on. Right after he came home from work
he took a hot shower and sat behind the TV to watch a sitcom but he
accidentally dozed off. Not much time was
lost; he was snoozing for only half an hour, only to miss his sitcom. He blamed the weather for his drowsiness;
the cold then warm effect has tendencies to make anyone sleepy. The light rumble of Ash's stomach indicated
it was time to cook dinner.
Dinner was simple yet
satisfying. He knew how to cook and
living alone for the pass three years allowed him to refine that skill. Again he started to wonder about his past on
how he knew how to cook simple yet appetizing meals. He concluded that maybe someone taught him how and he just
remembered out of instinct. After
dinner he returned to his couch to watch some more TV. He watched for a few minutes and had a
sudden urge to doodle. There was some
scratch paper that he always kept on his coffee table just in case he needed to
write something. With a pencil in hand
and the notepad in the other he started to sketch what he saw on the TV. Sketching wasn't his best hobby; he was
about average skilled in that trait.
Yet for someone who can sketch about average he was better than any
novice. This was a bit of a clue to his
pass so maybe he was a sketcher. That
conclusion was soon voided because of the lack of skill Ash had in sketching,
he was only average at it.
Ash: Maybe it is just a hobby of mine.
After a few pages of sketching Ash
sketched something that he just felt rather than see. It was an instinctive sketch where he just let his hands do the
work. After a few minutes he drew tall
buildings and there stood two people.
There was a guy where a cap and a girl with a ponytail.
Ash: Looks like a manga comic.
Ash stared at it for a while; the
picture had an effect within him. It
felt like it meant something. There was
nothing odd about the picture. Reason
told him that it was only a picture that he drew from probably a college sitcom
he'd been watching. Ash stood up and
stretched a bit. He looked out his
apartment and it was still raining. He
walked out to the balcony and let drops of rain splash onto his face. It was a refreshing feeling to close ones
eyes and let raindrops just hit you lightly.
The feeling that Ash felt after was a bit strange. First he felt light and warm like the rain
was someone just touching the side of his face. Then he felt a concern feeling like the feeling when someone sees
another person crying. Ash opened his
eyes and looked around. He was a bit
wet and had enough of the rain for the night.
He went back in to dry up and get ready for bed. As he dried himself up he noticed that even
wiping his face dry it'd get a bit wet . . . near his eyes.
*****
Boy: Lets build this one taller than the last one.
Girl: Lets build it . . . They
say if a couple . . . together they'd fall in love and get married.
The girl moved quickly and kissed
the boy.
Girl: Lets get . . . Let's fall
in love and get married.
Boy: O . . . Okay. I'll marry
you. Mama says people marry cause they
love each other.
Girl: Then we're going to get married.
Boy: That'd be nice. Let's
make a little church too.
Girl: Okay.

Misty woke up slowly trying to keep
the dream together but couldn't. When
she was finally awake she wished that she could go back to sleep and dream
over. It was hard to get up from bed
after having such a dream, Misty just felt upset that she woke up.
Misty: Marry . . . me . . .*yawn*
Next to her bed was a small lamp
stand with a picture of Ash and her.
They were just standing together smiling at the camera. It was one of her most treasured possessions
since the day she lost him. Misty
headed down stairs of her house.
Strangely none of her sisters were around. There was a note attached to the TV with Misty's name on it.
Misty: I wonder where they went this time? Probably out chasing boys, sales, or maybe both.
The note read, "Dear Lil Mist, we
sorta like had to go out cause we just heard there was like this college
reunion party or some junk in like Seascapolis. We like took the earliest flight which was like this morning. Sorry we had to go so soon but we sorta like
never miss a party. Right so take care
of yourself lil sis we'll be back in like a two weeks. We're gonna do some
sight seeing and shopping or some junk.
We'll bring ya back like a souvenir.
Love ya, yur sisters.
Misty: Well at least I'm gonna like get some peace and quiet around here
. . . oh no I'm starting to talk like them.
Ack I better stop saying like.
Misty returned upstairs to freshen
up. She headed in the bathroom and took
her morning shower thinking what she's going to be doing today. The videophone started to ring and Misty
wished her sisters didn't buy a phone for every room in their house.
Misty: Doh that's so annoying.
Okay okay, "command" pick up already!!
The videophone turned on.
Brock: Hello? Anyone there?
Misty: Oh is that you Brock?
Just bare with me I'm in the shower.
Brock: What's a video phone doing in the bathroom?
Misty: How should I know, ask my sisters. So what do you want I'm kinda busy as you can see.
Brock: Actually I can't see, the
camera isn't on.
Misty: That or you don't have any eyes.
Ofcourse the camera isn't on! Ya
think we're crazy to have a camera in the bathroom you Rock Head.
Brock: I heard that. Anyway I'm
just wondering if you were going to sign up for any colleges? My college hired me to be a recruiter and
ask around if anyone was willing to join.
Misty: College huh. Never really
thought about it.
Misty stopped for a moment and
thought about her future. It was pretty
much essential to go to college otherwise it'd be very hard to get a job. She always pictured herself being with Ash,
attending the same school together, and finding their own way into life.
Misty: I don't have any thoughts at what school I'll be going at
yet. Check with me later ok.
Brock: Okay . . . Misty just one more thing.
Misty: What? It's bad enough you
catch me in the shower.
Brock: Well on a serious matter you should really start going to
school. You can't wait forever. It's been two years since you're of age to
apply, you have to make a choice and not waste another two years.
Misty fell silent; Brock heard only
the water running and the light trickles of water.
Brock: You can't wait for Ash.
You may never see him again.
He's gone, disappeared to who knows where. He's been gone for three years now and isn't it about time to
just move on?
Misty: . . . Brock . . . please . . . hang up.
Brock sighed, he didn't bother saying good-bye he just hung
up. Misty felt a slight wetness forming
around her eyes and it joined in with the showering water. Her tears were well hidden but it wasn't
unnoticeable.
End of Chapter 1
In the next chapter:
Gary has spent three years search for Ash and during his search his once
fireball determination has died. Gary
is hit with an awakening call to continue his search to keep a promise he and
Ash made. Misty remembers what happened

dreams continue to haunt him of his forgotten past.

Authors Note:
Well I've decided to try something a bit different. Not your usual love struck dramas or lemons
or in fact comedies, I'm trying to make totally different theme. Even if it may seem like I used some ideas
from other places I was merely inspired by them. I had no intention of copying them at all. Hope you enjoy and please visit my website
if you want. Also it'd be nice to leave
feed back. Thanks.
