*sigh* New Year… big whoop… *isn't sure whether she just doesn't care or is still bugged by having no real boyfriend* Well, anyway, here's the next chapter of the hopefully getting less depressing fic.
The next chapter of Human is up now, too. *needs ideas for that desperately, her old plan died*
Ocean of Tears
Lyra Kamiya
Misty groaned and rolled over, reaching one hand up to her forehead. What happened? One second I was swimming, and the next… I guess a Tentacool got me… she thought, wincing as she set her fingers to her forehead. She opened her eyes and glanced around, slightly confused, as she realized there was something tied over the injury, it's texture like jeans.
"You slept long enough…" came a voice from behind her. She spun around and faced the voice, her breathing seizing up and tears welling in her eyes as she saw the familiar black hair and tan face of her best friend. With a weak smile, she thrust herself forward and threw her arms around him.
"I found you… thank goodness," she whispered, then sat back up and away from him, watching for his reaction.
"You know me?"
Misty's heart sank. It was him, it had to be. This boy looked and sounded like him, had the same clothes… there was no way it couldn't be… "Ash? Don't you recognize me? It's me, Misty… I'm not that worse for wear from the ocean, am I?"
"I wouldn't know. Have a look at yourself," he shrugged, holding out the pokédex who's shiny plastic screen worked well as a mirror.
This is Ash's pokédex, even. It has to be him! "No, I look normal… but the bandage makes me look like Tracey…"
"Who?"
Misty turned to look at the look of confusion on the boy's face. He honestly didn't know… he seriously didn't have any idea who she was, or any of their other friends were. "Ash…" she said softly, closing her eyes. She'd found him, but lost him before she could.
"You keep calling me that. Then is that really my name?"
"Yes, what did you think it was?"
"I thought that was it, but I had only gotten it from that pokédex thing, so I wasn't sure," he shrugged, then pulled out half a coconut from behind him. "I kinda figured that whoever you were, you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I went and found some food for us."
"Thanks, Ash," she said, taking it from him and casually debating if she was hungry in the back of her mind. She looked up finally, surprised to see Ash staring right at her. "What is it?"
"I don't know, you just seem so… familiar. What did you say your name was?"
"Misty," she repeated, sitting up straight so he could examine her to jog his lost memory if needed.
*Phone rings as she finishes* Yeah? Hey Eikyu(his code name from Q4H), yeah it's me. What's up? Um, new stories? You know nothings ever up. The pool?! Today?! But there's all that snow… date? Um, well, if you mean it that way, sure! See you at 1! *hangs up* YAHOOOOOOOO!!!! Even if it is Psychomon, I've got a date! (My first, gimme a break) Only reviews can make me even happier right now.
