Eyes of a Child
By firehedgehog
Chapter Seven
Ash walked humming along a small river, he was in the huge forest
the surrounded Pallot. At his side as always was pikachu one of his best
friends, he smiled as he came apon a small pond and he saw water pokemon
in the water.
"Pi?" pikachu questioned, Ash smiled at his friend and shook his head
no.
"Were not here to catch pokemon today pikachu, were here to relax,"
he said, pikachu gave a happy 'chu' and ran ahead of his trainer.
"Pika pi," pikachu called back at him, Ash laughed at his pokemons
antics.
"Pikachu wait up, I said relax not run," he laughed, awhile later after
playing tag with pikachu Ash rested under a large tree near the edge of the
river. The sound of water could be heard, it was constant and relaxing.
'I wonder, would I enjoy this type of thing if I had grown up with my
real family?' Ash thought to himself, he then shook his head not wanting to
think about it... his real family had given up all rights on him.
'Mrs Ketchum is my mom now, and Gary is like a brother and Mai a
sister to me' Ash thought and he nodded to himself, they were his family
now.
'And I can't forget pikachu' he thought with a smile.
***
It was nearing nightfall and Ash still was with pikachu in the same
forest, he had enjoyed wandering over the places he had played as a child
and showing them to his small companion.
"Pika pi," pikachu said suddenly looking at the sky, startled Ash
looked up and saw that it was getting dark.. he sighed realizing that it was
time to head home.
"Thanks pikachu, I didn't realize that it was getting so late.... I guess
we better head back before it gets too dark," Ash said with a smile, pikachu
nodded and gave a smile only a pikachu could give.
"Pikachu," pikachu said and gave a cute giggle, it looked towards the
way home and scampered a few feet. The electric mouse gave his trainer a
serious look, it could feel that Ash wanted to stay a few more moments
before leaving.
"You go ahead Pikachu, I'll meet you at home," Pikachu nodded and
scampered out of sight, Ash shook his head slightly a soft smile on his heart
shaped face.
"What is it about this forest that draws me to it, ever since i first came
to pallot town after being adopted," Ash whispered, he looked at the sky and
watched as it slowly darkened to night. It wsa then that his contacts began
to itch, he had forgotten to take them out last night and he was now paying
the price.
"No one else is here, I guess I can take them out... I'll put them on
again just before I reach pallot," Ash said to himself, he reached into his back
pocket and took out a case he usaual kept his contacts in when no one was
about.
"Ichie eyes be gone," he said once the contacts were out and away, he
looked around the forest his amber eyes shining in the dim light. Because of
his eye color the light hitting them made them look like a cats, he grinned
when his thoughts put his eyes against a cats.
"Too bad I can't see in the dark like a cat, if it gets any darker I'll start
tripping on tree roots," Ash mused to himself, then eith a wry grin to himself
he started the walk home.

Gary woke up sweat dripping off his pale body, he sat up gasping
heavily for breath. Silently he got up and went to his bedroom window and
opened it, fresh cold air rushed in cooling his sweat covered body. He
shivered slightly and pulled a blanket around himself, sadly he looked at the
star lit sky outside.
"Thats been the worst dream I've ever had since Mai and I moved in
with Grandpa, I kept seeing that day papa hit Mai and me.... I still don't
know why he went strange like that," he whispered to himself with a sigh,
he had forgotten about that day after all these years.
"Why am I remembering it now, why must I relive those painful
moments... isn't it bad enough that I still have to live with the fact that I
don't know where Satoshi is," Gary whispered tears falling down his face,
with a sog he curled up under the window.
As he lay curled up he was glad that there wasn't anyone there to see
him, to everyone else he was suppose to be arrogant Gary Oak one of the top
trainers of the world... he wasn't suppose to cry like a little kid.
But in truth he wanted to cry, cry long and hard and hug his sister for
comfort. Under the cover of arrogant Gary was the child of long ago who
wanted a parents love and to see his little brother again, but there was no
way now... he was alone in the world except for his grandpa, Mai and Ash his
best friend.
Right now he could almost hear Satoshi's voice, he had never liked it
when people cried... the small chils would always try to make his siblings
smile.
'He would say to us that its okay to be sad and cry, but if you cry too
much you'll forget to be happy' Gary thought and that caused him to smile,
slowly he uncurled and wipped away his tears.
"Thanks Satoshi, even just a memory of you could make me feel better
sometimes," he whispered, gently he closed his bedroom window and went
back to bed. With a sigh he closed his eyes and got comfy under his covers, a
soft smile spread across his features.
"One day Satoshi.... someday... I'll find you," he said between yawns,
somehow the memory from earlier had given him hope once more to find his
little brother. Then he fell asleep, all that was heard was the sound of his
soft breathing.
***
Ash ketchum pokemon master of the world sneezed, startled he
looked around his dark room but saw nothing but a soundly sleeping
pikachu.
"Weird," he muttered as he crawled back into his large comfy bed, for
a split second there he had felt as if someone had been talking about him. He
had woken up and gone to the kitchen to get somne water, now refreshed he
was ready to go to bed.
"If Misty heard me sneeze, she'd probably say I was getting a cold," he
said with a small smile, then he got comfy beside pikachu and fell deep
asleep.
***
Misty sneezed and rolled over as she tried to sleep, she frowned and
wondered if a glass of warm milk would help. As she lay there wide awake
she wondered if someone was talking about her, they always said that if
someone was thinking about you somewhere then you sneezed.
"Wonder who told me that," she muttered to herself, elsewhere in the
gym her three older sisters sneezed. She yawned and finally felt herself
becoming sleepy, then finally the red haired teen fell asleep.
