Hello People (^_^)
I was completely lost when I was writing this, but...
I figured out an idea.
I don't and probably will never own Pokémon.
Anyway...
"Talking" Thoughts Poke-Speech
On with the Story...
Chapter 8: Memories
Previously:
*Delia's POV, Seafoam Islands*
I looked back up to see Ash's face of agony, switching back and forth with an equally pained face of Red, then I heard a scream, and scream that was a mix of both Ash and Red's screams, but a scream I had heard before, many years ago, a scream that made one of my memories resurface.
A name, a name I had long forgotten returned to me, a name I had had given, given to my only son, so with a spark of hope I screamed, "Satoshi!"
And all we could see was blinding light.
The facade had shattered.
*May's POV, Seafoam Islands*
As soon as the light cleared up we saw that all the Team Infinity Members had been blown back and the glass wall had shattered
Giovanni looked at the damage and yelled, "Abandon Base, go to the main headquarters, we can't fight them now."
The Team Infinity grunts dispersed and soon only we were left in the building.
Talk about scaredy-skitties.
I looked around and noticed something, "Where's Ash?"
Delia looked up eyes, slightly glazed, "His name is Satoshi not Ash."
Mr. Goodshow looked at Delia, "Are you sure his name is Satoshi not Ash. If that it is true then the title he won doesn't count since it was under a false name."
Delia nodded, "It's all my fault if my memory wasn't messed up I wouldn't have forgotten. I remember when I was younger my mother said I had physiological memory problem, when something traumatic happened I would forget everything related to it. I could still recover my memories, but I needed a trigger, also if I remembered everything too quickly I might go insane. Ash, I mean Satoshi, even though he was young, understood that. When I didn't remember his name, he realized that it was one of those triggers so he didn't use his own name to protect me. He yelled all that stuff out to trigger some of my memories."
(A/N: A real medical condition, I actually researched it and its symptoms.)
He warned Drew and me about this.
I looked around again and noticed that there was a smoking figure lying near the table Ash/Satoshi was strapped to, so I yelled, "I think that is him."
All of us rushed over to see that the figure was a teenage boy dressed in the same clothes as Ash, but with black, red streaked hair instead.
Delia walked over to him and sat down, laying a hand on him, "Satoshi..."
Ash and Red, they merged, instead of splitting.
Professor Oak bent down to Delia's level and asked something, so which she nodded.
Professor Oak looked up at us and said, "We need to go back to Pallet, then I'll explain."
Just like that all of us were transported, all the Gymleaders and Elites to their homes, while the rest of us to Professor Oak's mansion.
*Pallet Town, Still May's POV*
As soon as we were teleported into the Mansion, Professor Oak said, "Brock, I need you to take Ash, err Satoshi upstairs and put him in a guest room."
Brock nodded, grabbed Satoshi, and went upstairs.
As soon as Brock was out of sight, Professor Oak said, "The rest of you follow me to the Living Room we need to talk things over."
We all have questions that we want to be answered.
As soon as we were all settled down and Brock had come back, Professor Oak said, "You can ask your questions know, but one at a time."
We all looked at each other and nodded, and then I asked, "What happened to Ash? Why did Delia call him Satoshi?"
Professor Oak looked at Delia, who just looked down at the ground, "Back when he was younger Satoshi had black hair with red highlights, but somehow the highlights disappeared and he became Ash, but then there is Red to consider so I don't know..."
Lance asked, "So Satoshi is his real name and Ash is just an alias he used?"
Delia nodded, "His birth certificate has Satoshi Red Ketchum written on it as his name. Satoshi Red Ketchum! Red was his middle name. I remember now! I lost my memories when his twin Leaf died because she tripped and fell too close to the edge of Ketchum Cliff, which collapsed upon impact, causing her to be buried in a rock-slide. Ketchum Cliff was named after her!"
Drew and I nodded, and then Drew said, "That's exactly what he told us before the whole Lab nearly burning down incident."
Maybe Ash, err Satoshi knew this would happen.
Everyone nodded, then Steven asked, "But he mentioned; family, friends, god-son, and son's name, we've only figured out part of family and son's name."
Delia turned toward Drew and me and asked, "What else did he mention that day?"
I sighed, so did Drew, but I was the one to say, "He said something about his father dying in a car crash."
Delia's eyes widened again, "Adrian! Bill and Daisy Oak! Adrian was my husband, and Bill and Daisy were Gary's parents that were in the car with him, our two best friends!"
Ash, I probably will never call him Satoshi must have excluded the names so it would make Delia remember.
Professor Oak said, "So that solves three out of the four, but who is your god-son?"
Before any of us could respond we heard a voice say, "Seems like Sato's plan worked."
All of us looked up to see a blue cloaked, brown, blue streak, haired, 'Gary'?
Red, Blue, Purple, which color is next? Yellow?
Professor Oak got up and crushed 'Gary' in a death hug, which earned him a raised eyebrow from 'Gary' and pretty much all of us.
Professor Oak let go of him and walked back to his seat next to Delia, completely embarrassed.
Oh My God, poor Professor Oak, he just hugged a random Gary lookalike.
Delia looked at 'Gary', "Shigeru?"
Shigeru nodded and said, "Pretty much, but I have gone by the name Gary Oak."
Professor Oak looked horrified, "You impersonated my grandson?"
Shigeru and Delia laughed, and then Shigeru said, "I AM your grandson. If you had bothered to check my birth certificate when you took me in, you would have noticed my REAL NAME was Shigeru BLUE Oak, not Gary Oak, Sato and I only made up that name, well not made up exactly."
Brock sighed, "How many more fake names are we going to find out about today?"
Shigeru laughed, "None, I'm afraid, now if you don't mind I have to kidnap Sato."
Shigeru then turned around and started walking away but then...
I yelled, "Wait!"
Shigeru turned around, "What?"
I sweat-dropped, "Who is Sato?"
Shigeru did an anime fall, along with someone else, because we heard two thumps instead of only one.
Shigeru got up and reached out a hand to help up whoever else fell, which turned out to be a brown, green streak, haired girl, wearing a green cloak.
Okay so the next color was green not yellow, but there has to be a yellow cloaked person.
Delia looked at the girl in complete shock, before yelling, "Leaf!"
Uhh wasn't she dead?
Leaf had tears in her eyes then ran over to Delia and hugged her like there was no tomorrow, "Mom!"
All of us had tears in our eyes, watching the sweet reunion; I could even see Shigeru wipe away a tear.
Delia wrapped her arms around Leaf to return the hug then asked, "Why did you never come back? I understand my memory, but why?"
Leaf pulled back and walked over to Shigeru, "It's an Elemental's duty to separate themselves from the ones they love. Why do you think Ash rarely talked to you or Misty after he started traveling to new places? Why do you think Gary chose fieldwork instead of working here?"
Rudy scoffed, "Well you can tell your brother that Misty is mine and to stay away from her. Oh wait, he killed her, never mind."
Leaf glanced at Misty's sisters and Johanna, then walked up to Rudy smirking.
I have a bad feeling about this...
Leaf then poked a finger into Rudy's chest, making him back up slowly, "Oh really? I heard that you cheated on Misty, in front of her, and on the anniversary of my brother's quote on quote death. I also heard that Conway here was a little tipsy that day, and tried to, well you know..."
Leaf pulled away from Rudy; leaving him and Conway completely shocked, while leaving Misty's sisters and Johanna completely mad.
I feel so sorry for you two, not!
Misty's sisters advanced slowly on Rudy, then charged and pounded him into pulp.
Johanna walked with a deadly aura around her toward Conway, but all of us turned away, not wanting to see what would become of him, Johanna didn't get mad easily, but her wrath was well known.
After a few seconds we all turned back to see Conway look in serious need of medical attention, Rudy knocked out, covered in bruises, and Shigeru and Leaf doubled over on the floor in laughter.
Soon all of us were laughing as well, with the grownups letting out a few chuckles.
Brock turned toward Shigeru and Leaf then asked, "Someone explain the Ash slash Red slash Satoshi thing, please?"
Shigeru sweat-dropped, "When Satoshi was forced to hide his name as to not trigger Delia's memories, he did it unwillingly, but he had to. The unwillingness caused his personality to split. Red was the unwilling part that tried to escape by staying an Elemental. Ash was the kind and generous part, which wanted to help Delia. Satoshi's appearance also split between them; Red took on red hair and red eyes, while Ash took on black hair and brown eyes, Satoshi had black, red streaked hair, and mahogany eyes."
Personality split mentally and physically...
Then a thought returned to me and I turned back to Shigeru and Leaf and asked, "Who is Sato, again?"
Shigeru and Leaf sweat-dropped, then Leaf said, "Sato is our old nickname for Satoshi, just like Shig was our old nickname for Shigeru and Leafy was my old nickname. The only difference is that we don't really use any of them anymore."
Sato, Satoshi, I feel stupid.
Shigeru grabbed a hold of Leaf's wrist and started dragging her away, "Anyway, we have to kidnap Ashy-boy and give him the flame of Ho-Oh; you don't know how hard it was to track down Ho-Oh especially since both Ho-Oh's types are the ones Ash protects."
I grabbed my head in mock pain, "Too many names; mental breakdown."
Soon everyone was laughing again, but this time a new laugh joined in, when we turned we all saw Ash leaning against the doorway, cracking up.
Shigeru rolled his eyes, "Finally. Here."
Shigeru tossed Ash a small metal container, which Ash caught and opened, letting out a multi-colored flame.
Ash put his hand in it and muttered, "Fire spinner."
He then quickly pulled his hand away and a red cloak appeared covering his body.
So the cloak came from Ho-Oh's flame.
Ash turned to us and said, "Mom...As for the last thing I mentioned earlier, Gary is your god-son. I'm sorry Mom, but we can't stay. Our duty is more important than our desires, or the desires of anyone else for the matter, just in case you were wondering Satoshi when derived into English is Ash the same applies to Shigeru and Gary, but Gary is spelled with two 'r's. We don't mind if you call us Ash or Gary though. Goodbye, I'm sure we'll see each other again."
(A/N: Shigeru Okido when derived into English is Garry Oak. Satoshi when derived into English is Ash.)
As soon as Ash said that Leaf disappeared in a whirl of leaves, Shigeru turned into ice, then the ice shattered, and flames consumed Ash.
After a few seconds the only things that showed that they had even been there was the wet stain on the carpet and a few burning leaves.
He's gone again, but at least Delia got back her memories...
To Be Continued...
So two more identities are revealed along with some secrets, but most of you already knew who those two people were.
Remember people, Team Infinity isn't gone... (^_~)
That was a complete filler, but every story has to have at least one.
Review. (^_^)
