Hi guys! The second chapter is up now and I just want to say that I am very happy with what feedback I got and I hope that you continue to support this story. I will try and update at least once or twice a week but school is gonna start soon so I'll have a lot of daydreaming time while I am waiting for everyone else to catch up with me. Yeah no. I will have homework galore so I will try my best.

Disclaimer: Guess what? Come closer and I'll tell you a secret.*leans in and whispers*I don't own Pokemon. Okay fine it wasn't that much of a secret now was it?

I also wanted to announce that this morning I got up, went strait to reddit (don't go on reddit if you value anything. it takes over your life. I am still rehabilitating myself to regular life so you might want to stay away.) and onto the sub-reddit and found out that there is supposed to be a cool new tv series on pokemon that is centered around the original pokemon games and includes red as the main character. I do not know where it will be released besides in Japan but I am hoping that they send us an English version not long after. Cross your fingers guys. and girls. and others.

And now without further a due, chapter two!


(Rodger's P.O.V.)

I sat up groggily, and looked over to the sleeping form of Spire. It was an odd encounter yesterday but the Charmander seemed to be nice and very polite too. I was really surprised at what I had learned about him which was almost nothing except his gender, the fact that he seemed to have amnesia yet remained fully coherent, and that he was not afraid to show his emotions which for a fire-type of his age was pretty rare. I had already decided to take him to an old friend of mine to try and retrieve his memory but first I needed to get ready and get Spire ready as well.

I decided to take a swim so that I could get my fur all shiny and clean. I waded into the water dove under. My little pool was a lot deeper than anyone else knew, not that anyone ever really came to my house, it went at least twenty feet down at a slope and ended in an upward curve into an air pocket that had a ledge just large enough to rest on, of course by the time you got there it was pitch black and all you could do is sit around bored. But I had always liked the idea of a secret space though.

Once I was completely submerged in the water up to my neck I started scrubbing the dirt out of my fur, I didn't mind being dirty, don't get me wrong I never let myself get too filthy It's just that I never paid very much attention to it but I had company and I was visiting someone today so I didn't want to look all gross. As I was washing I could hear shifting to my right. I looked over to see that Spire was getting up from his sleep.

"Hey Spire. Good morning." I said in a cheery sort of tone.

He looked at me and gave a tired insincere smile. "Yeah. Good morning." He responded in a hoarse voice.

" Haha. What's wrong? Not much of a morning person?" I joked.

"Ugh. I guess not." He told me while dragging himself toward the pool.

What he did next surprised me immensely. He reached his clawed hands into the water and splashed his face, hardly cringing at all from the cold water touching him. He glanced to my astounded face and gave me a confused expression.

"What's up? Is something wrong?"

"W-Well I guess I'm just surprised is all."

"About what?" he asked with a questioning look.

"Well I just didn't expect any fire-type to get anywhere near the water willingly. Usually fire-types act as if they get a drop on them they would melt."

Now he was even more confused. "Fire-type? What's that?"

Oh Arceus not the questions again! I was fine with answering his questions last night but I really just didn't feel like it today! Oh well. I thought, I decided that he needed to know about type advantages and disadvantages. As I was going over it in my head I heard him speak up again.

"Um. Rodger?" My attention snapped back to him I could see that he had put his feet in the water while I was thinking and was swishing them back and forth. If I could freeze thins moment I would. A charmander that was touching the water willingly was amazing but this? This was a once in a lifetime thing! I just stood there with my mouth hanging open staring at him for a minute while he started to look down at himself suddenly very self-conscious and starting to worry.

I recovered after a short while and decided to tell him about Pokemon types over breakfast. As I got up I told him that he could go and grab a few berries from the pile for breakfast. He jumped up from the water and ran for the food, picking out about six berries. I was about to ask him if that was a bit much but as I opened my mouth to speak he pushed half of the berries to me(Pecha, lum, and cheri) and kept half of the berries to himself (Oran, aspear, and tomato). I swam to the side of the pool and grabbed the lum berry first and started to eat while I explained type advantages to him. He was a good listener and was eager to learn in the same way that I was when I first heard of types.

"Okay so I'm strong against grass, Ice, steel, and bugs?"

"Yep. You got it." I said." But you have to remember that you have weaknesses too."

"alright so what are they?"

As I explained the properties of type advantages he only seemed to get more and more curious like a newly hatched pokemon would. We concluded our lesson with me telling him that I would help him with training to use his moves later today after we got back.

"Where are we going?" he asked while rubbing berry juice off his mouth and then licking his claws clean which was kind of adorable.

"We are going to see a friend of mine so that we can maybe get your memory back." I responded.

We headed out of my den and made our way to my friend's house. It would have been roughly a twenty minute trip if not for the fact that Spire had to stop and ask what every pokemon on the way there. We didn't run into too many pokemon on the way there, we only ran into a few, a teddiursa, an electrike, a sneasel and a few pidgey but he wanted to know everything about them and I noticed his childlike interest replaced with a more scientific approach on the topic which was at first strange to me but I shrugged it off and continued. Eventually we made it to a small clearing with a wood and mud structure in it.

Turning around to face him I said." Alright were here."

"Where is here?" he asked.

"This is Rhonda's house. She is kind but she can be a little um, strict but she really is very nice so just mind your manners." I told him as I reached over to knock on the door.

Within seconds the thin wooden plank opened to reveal a female hypno with a look of surprise on her face.

"Why hello Rodger I wasn't expecting you to come over today. How are you? Who is your little friend?" Said Rhonda in a grandmother-ish sort of tone.

Before I could say anything in response I felt a slight pull on one of my tails and my attention was drawn to Spire who had a questioning look on his face.

"What is it Spire?" I asked him. But he didn't answer though, he just stood there looking at me with a sort of soft, pleading look and once in a while taking a glance at Rhonda. Was he? No he couldn't be.

"Spire tell me what's wrong."

After a brief hesitation he opened his mouth and spoke in the most timid voice that I have ever heard from a fire-type. "W-Well you told me to mind my manners so I just…" He didn't finish his sentence. Instead he just looked down at the ground and crossed his arms like he was becoming insecure.

"Spire it's alright. You don't need to be so nervous around Rhonda." I said while going over and lightly patting his back, he nodded and gave me a half smile. I looked up at the hypno in front of me, "Hey Rhonda, I'm doing well and this is Spire, May we come in?" I asked while starting to pet Spire on the back.

"Sure child. You are always welcome here." She said, waving us inside and over to a large mat inside the hut. "Now tell me, you look troubled. What's on your mind?"

After sitting down across from Rhonda and making sure that Spires tail didn't set anything on fire I turned my attention to the elderly psychic-type. "well you see, Yesterday I found spire in the woods and he was unconscious and after I woke him up I found out that he has no recollection of his past, after that it started raining so we went to my house until late and we decided to just wait it out for the night and when we woke up this morning it had stopped so we came to see you because I wanted to ask you if maybe you could help his get his memories back." I explained rather rapidly to her while Spire grew a sudden re-interest in his tail.

"Wow. You two went on quite a little adventure already haven't you?" She chuckled. "Alright, get his attention while I go and find my pendulum will you?" She said while getting up and searching around for the small object.

I looked over to spire who was now peering at me through his tail flame. "so did you catch all that?"

"Yeah I guess but what is she going to so with a pendulum?" he questioned, letting go of his tail and letting it swish a little behind him.

"Well I think she's probably going to put you to sleep and then see if she can bring your memories back."

"Wait what?" He looked scared at the fact that he would need to be knocked out while this was happening.

"Not to worry young one." We heard Rhonda say as she came up to us with a little circular rock on a string. "You will only be out for a minute and after that we will wake you right up, alright?"

Spire stared at her for a moment before giving a very reluctant nod. "Okay." He said in a quiet voice, almost a whisper.

"Alright then. Just relax and try not to think too much, my psychic powers are not as strong as they used to be." The older pokemon told him, starting a hypnosis attack.

The charmander's eyes started to droop and within about ten seconds he was out like a light.

(Spires P.O.V.)

"Spire. Spire wake up. Spire wake up. I said, wake UP! "…CHOMP!

"AH! OW!OW!OW!" My eyes snapped open to see that Rodger's teeth were clamped firmly onto my right arm almost breaking the skin. "Rodger that hurts let go!" I yelled as I pummeled with my free arm. He released my arm, leaving me to rub the teeth shaped impressions on it that I was sure would bruise.

"Oh good you're up." Said the buizel with an innocent smile, somehow dissolving most of my anger with just one look to the point where I wouldn't slap him upside the head.

I was about to respond with some witty comeback but just as I opened my mouth to speak I was interrupted by that nice old pokemon who I still didn't know the species of.

"If you two are done." She said with a firm voice.

"Y-Yes mam. I am very sorry." I managed to stutter even though I had not partaken in speaking what so ever I wanted to stay on her good side since she was after all helping me.

"Sorry." Rodger said while trying to hold back the smile that was creeping onto his muzzle. I almost gave him the stink eye but I held myself back with what little more self-control I could muster and managed to drag my gaze over to Rhonda who was wearing a stern expression while at the same time a slightly confused and troubled one.

"What is it Rhonda? Could you not resurface his memories?" Rodger asked her.

"Well I can't very well find something that isn't there" She snapped at him.

Rodger looked slightly taken aback, like he hadn't expected her to react like that. As he looked for words to react with I took the initiative and saved him from having to speak this time.

"But miss. How can they not be there?" I asked.

"They simply aren't there child." She told me in a much calmer tone.

"I'm confused. Could you elaborate on it a little?" I said while grabbing my tail and holding it in my lap. I don't know why I did that but I did, It must've been instinctual or something.

"Of course dear. You see memories are like oceans that are connected to each other with many tributaries that flow into them. Sometimes a tributary can be blocked off and will not connect with the rest of the system. Most of the time I can move in and un-block these tributaries to resurface that memory." She explained slowly.

"So you can't un-block my memories or something?" I asked.

She sighed and looked me in the eyes, "No child. That is not it. Your memories weren't blocked, they are gone. The tributaries have dried up along with the oceans and have left you with little more than dried streambeds and weak impressions of your past. It is almost as if someone has stolen them but I do not know of any pokemon besides a legendary that is powerful enough to do such a thing." She said.

I was shocked and starting to panic once again. "So there isn't anything I can do to get my memory back?" I exclaimed, starting to tear up.

"Spire it's gonna be okay. I'll be here for you." I could hear Rodger comforting me to my left, trying to calm me down so that I wouldn't cry.

"No dear. Sadly I have no way of finding your lost memories. Unless whoever took them decides to give them back then you will never remember who you were. I am terribly sorry that I couldn't be of more help to you." She sighed.

"So I guess I won't be getting my memories back then." I said, looking at my feet and then up to the small window and the puffy clouds lining the sky. Wait that might be… Well it's worth a shot I guess. I'll just have to ask.

My gaze snapped back to Rhonda which surprised the old girl. "Rhonda you said that memories were like oceans right?"

She said nothing, just nodded, a curious expression starting to take form.

"Well since those oceans have tributaries running into them the tributaries must get their water from somewhere too right? So since-"I was cut off by Rodger.

"I think you may be taking this whole ocean thing a little too seriously." He said in with a chuckle, despite the situation.

"Shh! Anyway." I continued as I turned back to Rhonda. "Since the water from those tributaries comes from clouds then maybe those clouds are still there. What do you think Rhonda?"

Rhonda who was looking at me as though I'd thought of something she hadn't replied. "well that actually might be the case child."

"Wait how?" Rodger piped in.

"Well how else do you explain the fact that he knows how the water system works child? Did you explain it to him?"

"No I don't think I did." Rodger admitted.

Rhonda turned back to me "Young one, if this is the case then I can't help you. The memories may come to you at random times or they could be triggered by something or maybe even both of those things but what I can tell you is that you still have the instincts of who you were."

"How?"

"Well when a stream dries up the creek bed remains there." With the knowing look she had earlier.

"Oh. Ummm… neat I guess." I responded, twiddling my claws.

With that Rodger got up from his spot and held out his paw which I took and pulled me up with little effort on his part.

"Alright thank you very much for your help Rhonda. I would love to stay and talk with you some more but we still have a couple of places to go today." He said politely as he led me to the door.

"Of course dear. I'll see you both another time, and Spire," She said while looking to me with a smile. " it was very nice meet you dear."

"Thank you Rhonda. It was nice to meet you too. Bye!" I waved as we headed out.

"Bye Rhonda see you later!" Rodger almost shouted as he closed the door behind us.

"We are heading into town now Spire. I need to buy a couple things and visit a friend or two. Kay?" He told me as we started walking down a seemingly random overgrown path.

"Okay." I said with a smile as we wandered through the warm late morning sunshine, wondering what would happen next.


So how did you like it? I hope you liked it or what am I posting this for right? Anyway whether you liked it or not you should probably review just to get your point across.

I also had a question. What should their first dungeon be? What should be in it? What are they going for? I'll be honest in the fact that I only really have the main story line written out and I am not to good a battle scenes so any suggestions would be rather helpful.
