Forgotten Memories

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. I do own this story.

Author Note: I also rewrote part of this chapter because I did not like how I had originally had written it. The plot is still the same, but I changed the story to add more drama and to, hopefully, make it more entertaining.

Summery: As her love falls victim to her worst enemy, she hasn't given up hope. However, what she doesn't realize that hope hasn't given up on her.

Chapter Two: I'll never give up on you

Five years later...

For five years, Sara has searched in vain for her lost love. Everyday, it seems, she would worry more and more that she would never see him again. Many even tried to convince her that her love, John, is dead...

"Why do you keep searching for him?" asked the person. This was a question she seemed to answer a lot.

"Because he saved my life."

"That's not the real reason, is it?"

"Why do you keep bothering me?"

"Because he's been gone for three years. He either is dead or moved on without you."

"He would never do that!"

"How do you know? If he is alive, then why hasn't he come to find you? There is only two answers: he's either dead or loving someone else. Think about: who could have survived an attack like that? No one!"

"He could have."

"Moreover, didn't your father disapprove of him?"

"Yes, but he will accept him in time."

"Sure, besides, you can do better than him anyways. He was weak."

"What makes you think that?"

"He would never battle any of us. All he did was sit in a corner away from everyone and study."

"Didn't he battle you once?"

"I...well...um...no," he lied. Even she knew they did, once. "You still need to move on. Someone as beautiful and talented as you needs to move on."

"I appreciate your complements, but I will never love anyone else."

The truth hurts. She knew what he said was true: he wasn't going to return, and there wasn't much of a chance that he could have survived. This was a fact she would never seem to accept but always knew. After all he had done for her, how could she not try? How could she not hope? How could she not wait?

Her days now seemed repetitive. Everyday, she hoped to find him. Everyday, she was searching in vain. For five years, it was the same: she searched and found nothing, not even a clue. But everyday, she said to her self: I'll never give up on you.

Today had been a rather long day. She awoke at five and traveled quite a distance to the next city. She arrived to the city around noon and decided to grab a quick bite to eat. As she walked into the Pokémon, she noticed the many trainers there, each with his or her own goal to make their Pokémon the best. She looked around and saw their Pokémon; most were common ones which told her that they were not very advanced in their training. However, one caught her eye: an Alakazam. She had seen many Pokémon in her searching, but not many Alakazams. It's owner, a dark-haired man around 20 was reading a newspaper. Something about him was familiar to her. Then it hit her: he was John! Finally, after five long years, she found him! But why didn't he recognize her or even acknowledge her presence? Maybe it wasn't him after all. Wait, she had to ask. She stood up from her seat and proceeded to walk over there slowly when a dark-haired boy with two older teenagers, one male and the other female, walked in front of her towards the person she expected as John.

"Hi, that's a nice Alakazam you have there," said the dark hair boy.

"Thanks."

"Your Alakazam looks really strong, would you mind battling my Pikachu and I?"

"Sure."

"Ash, don't be rude," said the red-haired girl behind him. "Introduce yourself and us."

"Sorry, my name is Ash Ketcham. This is Misty, and this is Brock," he said extending his hand.

"Nice to meet you," he said shaking hands with Ash. "My name is John." John? Sara thought. Finally, she had found him. She remembered that John use to own an Alakazam. She watched from her seat as John, Ash, Misty, and Brock proceeded to walked out of the Pokémon Center. She noticed John put a pair of sunglasses on as he walked out. She followed them out to a field where the battle was to take place.

"This is a one on one battle with no time limit," Brock said as Ash called out his Pikachu as John called out his Alakazam.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"

"Alakazam, Teleport!" As he called out his attack, Sara noticed that John's eyes almost seem to glow from behind his sunglasses.

"Nice dodge, but I bet he can't dodge this. Pikachu, Thunder!" This time Pikachu's attack was a direct hit. Alakazam nearly fell over. However, he manages to keep standing, barely.

"That was a nice attack, but I have a better move. Alakazam, Recover!" Alakazam's body fully recovered from the attack. This bewildered Ash. Even he didn't know what to do.

"Pikachu, Thunder again."

"Alakazam, Teleport and launch a Psychic attack." As Pikachu used Thunder, Alakazam teleported and launched his Psychic attack, causing Pikachu to fall over.

"Wow, that's a powerful attack. You did very well Pikachu."

"Alakazam, return. How's Pikachu?"

"Pi-ka-chu," the yellow rat moaned.

"That's good. We should get back to the Pokémon Center though."

When the group entered the Pokémon Center, Ash went directly to Nurse Joy and Brock, Misty and John sat down at one of the booths. Sara sat a few tables over.

"I notice you have purple eyes," Misty said with amazement. "I have never meet someone with purple eyes."

"Yeah, I guess it runs in the family or something."

"Speaking of family, where are you from?"

"Well, you see, I don't really know where I am from. Maybe I hit my head or something, but I can only remember the past five years of my life. One day, I woke up in the middle of a field not remembering anything about myself. I was fortunate to have a PokéBall next to me containing a powerful Alakazam. Ever since then, I have been earning money by winning battles." Now, Sara was sure it was him. Everything made sense.

"Interesting," Misty responded.

As he was finishing his story, Sara decided to approach him. "Excuse me. My name is Sara. I saw your battle today. You're Alakazam was awesome."

"Thanks. Have we met before? I swear I have seen you before."

"Possibly. Anyways, do you have any other Psychic Pokémon?"

"Nope, just Alakazam."

"Cool, I've had a Kadabra—" She stopped seeing the wall to which the booth was attached to was ripped out as if a tornado hit the building. The all the sudden MewTwo appeared.

"Found you!" MewTwo said.

Note: Special thanks to my one reviewer, Throned Rose. Also, I am currently in the process of writing the third chapter: The Battle (tentative title). I hope the changes I made are better than the original.
