That's right guys, I'm back! I finally finished finals week and I'm sad to say that I bombed two of my finals BUT, luckily, my grades didn't drop a letter grade so that's a relief. So, I still have a 3.6 but it's still good for me. It could've been lower…LOL. Well, anyway, thank you all so much for reviewing last chapter! I would seriously love it if you guys continue with your freakishly long reviews because I absolutely love reading them, no joke.

So back to the story! I'm glad you enjoyed it and don't worry, this is where the plot thickens, I think. Whatever you guys want to think, LOL.

Chapter Twelve: Surprise Visitor

Normal POV

"So, Paul, now that Misty and Ash along with Drew and May are happy again, we can just focus on Leaf and Gary! Do you have a plan?" the bubbly bluenette chirped happily.

Her plum-haired boyfriend simply grunted in response. "Troublesome, you come up with the plans, not me."

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted at him, cheeks puffed. "Oh come on, Paul. We don't have much time. Gary is going to be finished with his research sooner or later and when that happens, he's coming back to get married with that witch of a Megan." Dawn scrunched her nose at the mention of name in disgust. "And I do not want those two married. I mean, she isn't even right for him."

Paul pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. It wasn't because he didn't care about his friend. He just couldn't think of an effective plan that would change Gary's mind and besides, it was Dawn's idea from the beginning to get them back together. "Troublesome, I understand where you're coming from but we just can't ruin their wedding like that. The only way to get Oak to remember is by stalling the wedding so he would have more time to do so."

At this, Dawn began to perk up. "I know where you're going with this Paul and I know this plan would work perfectly. We just need a little help from his grandfather…" she trailed off, leaving her boyfriend in full confusion, even though it didn't show. Dawn hastily grabbed her phone from her back pocket and dialed the number of the older Oak.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Professor Oak? I need to ask you a question." The bluenette didn't even let the old man say anything before asking her question. "Do you want Gary and Megan to get married?"

It was quiet on the other line for a while and Dawn assumed he had hung up until she heard him sigh. "Honestly speaking, I am not looking forward to it, but if that's what he wants then I have no choice but to support his decision."

Dawn smiled at the response. "Then how would you feel about stalling the wedding?" Even without seeing him, she sensed the confused look he had on his face and continued on. "Paul had an idea where we can stall the wedding day until Gary remembers. What do you think of the plan? Because we really need your help. You're his grandfather and he would listen to you," she reasoned.

"I think I know where you're going with this, Dawn, but things are easier said than done. We don't know for sure if he'll listen to me or if he will go through the marriage with Megan like they originally planned. But, I will try to help out."

The bluenette grinned at the result and retained the squeal she had. "That's great to hear, Professor Oak," she chirped. "I'll let you go back to your work now, bye."

After bidding his goodbye as well, Professor Oak hung up and Dawn turned to Paul excitingly, only to find him knocked out on the couch. The bluenette smiled softly at her sleeping boyfriend before grabbing a blanket that happened to be lying on one of sofas and placing it on him. She placed a small kiss on his forehead and left a note on the table for him when he wakes up before leaving back for her office.


"May, we're here," Drew announced upon the arrival of their new home.

The sapphire eyed brunette stretched her arms before getting off the car with a sleeping Elliott in her arms. She stared in awe at the house she was going to live in. It wasn't a mansion like what she would expect from Drew but a simple, cozy two story house fit for four people. May noted that the paint job was plain yet simple and she approved of the design of the house. She then turned to Drew, who was standing next to her, smirking at her amazed reaction.

"Do you like the house?" he asked, flicking his hair.

She looked around the place only to see other houses vaguely similar to their house. "Where are we?"

"We're in Accumula Town," he answered. "I figured you would want to live somewhere similar to Village Bridge air so here we are," he explained. He then proceeded to grab her suitcases in both hands and walked towards the house. "My things are already in there. Let's get going."

May didn't question him anything and followed him inside the house to get settled in. "Where's Elliott's room?"

He pointed up the stairs. "It's the second door to the right. I ordered the movers to out his things in already since they got here before us so his bed should be ready."

The brunette simply nodded and followed his words by walking up the stairs and entering the room he had instructed. While she placed Elliott in bed, Drew grabbed some of the other boxes that was in the car and proceeded to start putting the things in the house. Since the movers already settled in the couches and tables and so on, he just had to put the pictures up and let May decide the rest.

Moments later, May came down stairs and started helping him with the pictures as well. "So you basically bought this house along with most of the furniture after I told you Elliott was your son," she stated as she placed a picture of her and Elliott on top of the table next to the television.

The green haired male smirked and flicked his hair. "Well obviously, August."

"Get my name right, Drew!" May yelled in a hushed tone to prevent Elliott from waking up. "If we're going to try to get back to the way we were before, then at least get my name right."

He sighed as he placed the last picture up on the wall. "Fine, I'll get your name right from now on."

"Good," May said triumphantly.

"June." This earned Drew a pillow thrown at him and when he turned to look at May, he came into contact with another pillow. The brunette had a smirk playing on her lips and ducked when Drew tossed one at her.

She stuck her tongue out at him. "You throw like a girl, Andrew," she taunted, completely unaware of the smirk on his lips.

Before the petite brunette could react, she was tackled to the couch by Drew. When she opened her eyes, he was right on top of her, smirk still plastered on his face. "Nobody says I throw like a girl and get away with it," he said in a dangerous tone.

"Oh, I'm so scared. What is Drew Hayden going to do?"

Drew leaned down towards her, smirk still visible. May's sapphire orbs widened as she saw that evil glint in his eyes. Right when she was about to say something else, he captured her lips with his own, shocking her. Slowly though, May gave into the kiss and returned it to him with her arms wrapped around his neck. Just like back then, sparks flew between those two when they kissed and they felt it, even now.

When they ran out of oxygen, they separated with Drew still smirking. "Like I said, nobody says I throw like a girl and get away with it."

May giggled, making his heart flutter. 'It feels nice to hear it again,' he thought to himself. "And just like I said before, I wasn't scared." She then managed to push him off of her and stood up. "Now if you don't mind, I need to go unpack my things. Try to survive without me, Drew."

He flicked his hair. "Try taking your own advice, June. I'm going to work on a new song if you don't mind. Try to resist my wonderful voice," he boasted.

She simply rolled her sapphire orbs playfully and started to head upstairs with her suitcase, leaving Drew alone in the living room. He started to head for his guitar and went back to the couch, with a notebook and pencil already sitting there, waiting for him.

"It's great to have you back in my life again, May."


"Dawn just informed me about stalling Gary's wedding date," Misty reported. "I think we should do something to stall."

"I don't know, Mist. I mean, I would love to help and all but Megan is pretty scary when she's mad and I kind of don't want to go through her tortures again…" Ash answered meekly.

The orange haired girl raised an eyebrow at him. "She's tortured you before?"

Her boyfriend nodded. "Yeah, when we were still kids. One of the tortures I remember the most would be the time when I ruined her confession with Gary. She was so mad at me that she found any reason to hit me. She only stopped when both Gary and Leaf confronted her about it. If we try to stall the wedding, she will get mad and blow up."

Misty simply waved it off, as if it wasn't a big deal to her. "Oh come on, Ash. Someone like Megan doesn't scare me. Come on, do you really want Gary to marry someone like her anyway? Don't you want Leaf and Gary to be happy together?" she interrogated.

Ash sighed. "Of course I want them to be happy but I just don't know if this plan will work. Those two are pretty smart and I think they'll figure out what we're doing pretty quickly."

Misty sighed as well and laid her head down on his shoulder. "We can try though. I just don't see Megan and Gary together. They don't fit together," she stated. "I mean, he doesn't even really love her. We both know that his heart belongs to Leaf; it's not fair that he's forgotten about her."

Ash wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "I know it's not fair but we can't do anything about it, Mist. If we don't want those two married then our only option is to try to help Gary remember everything," he explained.

"And that's the problem. Leaf doesn't want us to help him remember. She made us girls promise we wouldn't say anything to him about his past with her and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want you guys to do it as well. We need him to remember on his own or have him fall in love with her all over again."

"That's not happening anytime soon. Gary's already proposed to Megan so I really doubt he'll step down from it," Ash reasoned. "Wait, is he falling for her?"

Misty shook her head sadly. "Oh how I wish that would happen."

The raven haired man, being unable to see her sad face, sighed. "Okay, if it'll make you happy, I'll try to stall the wedding date with the guys. While that happens, you and Dawn can try being friends with Megan and stall her."

Misty smiled up at him. "Since when have you become so smart?" she jokingly asked, making him frown.

"What are you talking about, Mist? I was always a smart guy," he said in a serious tone, causing her to giggle.

"Whatever flows your boat, Ash." And with that, the two spent the day together enjoying their own companies.


"Okay, Danny, I'm almost home so you can stop with the calling, okay? Okay, bye." Leaf slipped her phone into her pocket and picked up her pace as she returned from her trip from the market. Both her arms were filled with bags with the groceries she bought and she heaved in tiredness as she continued her way home.

Then, from behind her, she heard a small chuckle behind her and turned around, only to find Gary there. "Don't you have a car to drive around in?" he inquired.

She rolled her green eyes. "I'm trying to help the environment here, okay? Besides, it's not a far walk from my house to the market."

He looked around, eyes scanning for the eccentric five year old girl. "Where's Mandy?" he asked as he walked next to her, grabbing a bag from her, despite her protests.

"She's at home. Danny's watching her right now and she's hungry." She laughed at her daughter's appetite with Gary chuckling along. "Are you done with your research already?"

"I'm almost done. I should be returning back to Castelia in about a week or so," he explained. He then looked up at the orange sky, meaning the sun was just about setting. "I really had fun here. I know that we had kind of a bumpy start but I'm glad I met you and Mandy."

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired lonely place

Leaf smiled softly at the comment. "…Yeah, I feel the same way." She looked down and noticed something around his wrist. Something she didn't expect to see after so long. "That wristband…" she murmured.

Gary quickly caught onto what she meant and lifted his wrist closer to him. "Oh, this, I don't really know how I got it. I just woke up one day and Megan told me it was important to me so I just kept it and continued wearing it." Leaf eyed the brown leather wristband carefully. 'It can't be the same one, can it?'

Walls of insincerity,

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

"Do you know who it's from?"

He shook his head sadly. "I don't know, actually. I just wear it, hoping one day that person will show up, that this will help me get my memories back." He then smiled sadly. "It sounds stupid, doesn't it?"

"No, it doesn't sound stupid at all," Leaf said. At now, the two had suddenly slowed down their pace. "Do you think that person was important to you?"

"Yeah, I really think that person was important to me. I don't know how to explain it but whenever I wear this wristband, everything just seems okay. It's like I can't go on a day without it, you know?"

Leaf thought back to her leaf necklace, which she still had, and remembered that she always had to wear it. "Yeah, I understand what you mean."

Then, a flock of birds flew above them and they both looked up, taking in the amazing view. Village Bridge wasn't really known for the birds that flew around so whenever a flock flew by, it would be an amazing scenery.

Two teens, at the age of fourteen, had just broke away from a kiss and a flock of birds hovered above them. They looked at each other and smiled at each other. "It's beautiful!" the girl exclaimed excitingly.

The boy chuckled. "Beautiful just like you."

Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"

Across the room your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

The girl simply giggled. "You're so cheesy. Go get some better pick up line," she teased.

Gary shook his head again and he stared down at the woman who was walking right beside him. The brunette noticed his eyes burning onto the side of her face and grimaced at him. "Is something wrong?"

"I've seen you before." Leaf's jade orbs widened as she heard those words leave his mouth and took a sudden interest on the ground. "When I was looking around your house that day I arrived, I remember I came across a picture of you and your friends in front of Oak Academy. That's my grandfathers' school. I'm his grandson, so we must have met some point back then."

Leaf bit her bottom lip. "I was just a student there, you were the popular kids. We've never met." She picked up her speed once again and walked faster.

Gary attempted to smile but failed as he chased after her and stopped in front of her. "Really? Then why is it that the first time I met you, I had a strange feeling of recognition? Also, your reaction when you first saw me wasn't like to a stranger at all. And the way how you convinced me to help Mandy on that parent child day. You understand me more than I know myself, how do you explain that? I've been seeing images of someone too."

The brunette walked around him, slower this time as she thought of an excuse. "So, since you lost your memory, you always have these unrealistic thoughts, asking everybody if they know you-"

"No, it's only with you." Leaf stopped walking and he turned to look at her. "I'm only like this when I'm with you." Gary then proceeded to walk a bit towards her. "There's always a blurry silhouette in my mind and she looks very similar to you. This person must be very important to me," he stated. "I'm trying to remember but I still can't. From that time when we became friends, to the parent child day, to yesterday, to that flock of birds just now, that girl continuously showed up in my mind. Maybe, you know her. Please, if you know her, then take pity on me," he begged. "I don't want to spend my life like an idiot living with a blank memory."

Leaf took a deep breath and looked up from the ground and faced him with a stoic expression. "If you were important to her, wouldn't she have come to look for you already?" she asked, with a bit of anger behind it. Gary on the other hand, frowned. "But she didn't show up, which means that she probably doesn't want you to remember her at all. Can't you just let it go? You have a fiancée, and in just a few months, you'll be married. Why do you continue dwelling in the past? It's not worth it."

Gary looked skeptically at Leaf. "Not worth it? Don't tell me that how you forgot about Mandy's father." Leaf held her breath at the mention of him. "You once said that if you two were to meet up, you would just treat him like a stranger and pass by. Is it because of those three words?" He caught her eyes and connected his with hers. "Leaf Green, let me ask you one more time and answer me honestly. Do we know one another?"


Outside of the Green's gate stood a tall brunette. She debated whether or not to go in and then decided to go in. She walked up to the doors of the house and knocked. Mandy opened the door and stared confusingly at the woman. "Who are you?"

Before she can say anything, Danny showed up behind the little girl, arms crossed. "You're Gary Oak's fiancée, correct? If you're looking for the owner, she's not home yet. Please wait outside," he spat coldly.

Megan restrained herself from saying anything rude since Mandy was there and simply smiled at him. "Sure."

Mandy, feeling bad for her, looked up at Danny with puppy dog eyes. "Can we let her in? It's cold," Mandy stated.

Danny, not being able to resist the eyes, gave in and allowed Megan in, who had a victorious look on her face.


"And I'm telling you for the last time. We don't know each other."

The disappointment in Gary's eye's quickly disappeared as he smiled at her. "Well then, we should start getting home then." He sensed Leaf's confusion and clarified it for her. "Even though you're not the girl I'm looking for, we're still friends. So, let's go."

Leaf followed suit behind him and the two talked again, pretending as if nothing had just happened.

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you
