Again, I don't own Pokémon.

Chapter 2

Sleeping Sun

Gary Oak went down into the kitchen followed by the two Pokémon. He cleaned them up and prepared their morning breakfast wondering why the boy didn't recognized his own Absol. 'Maybe I'm just thinking too much. He probably was shocked by whatever happened to him.' he thought as he descended the two dark Pokémon their meals. He realized that Absol was still carrying the three pokéballs. He took them and released them and out came a cute Skitty, a handsome Flygon and a stunning Gorebyss. He fed them also and thought that the boy must be pretty good trainer to keep such strong pokémon. Leaving the pokémon in the garden to play, he went into his bedroom.

"So you're awake." asked to the boy who just woke up to gaze at our handsome Gary. "Would you mind telling me why where you in such condition?" Still no reply and made Gary a little irritated. Realizing the dilemma, he calmly asked "What's your name?".

At least time he replied with "...I don't know...". 'What he don't know his name? What's wrong with him? Could it be...?'

"What do you mean 'you don't know'? Come on tell me your name".

" I told you, I don't know. You can call me with whatever name you desire" was the cold reply.

'so much air..' "Well then, how did you reach such critical situation?" Gary asked concerned.

"I don't remember...as a matter of fact all I remember is you and the creatures" replied trying to remember something that might help Gary.

"...the creatures! What creatures are you talking about?" he asked surprisingly.

" you know the one which were with us earlier" asked questioningly.

"You mean the Pokémon, Absol and Umbreon"

"Is that what they are called? I didn't knew" he asked surprisingly that how much this guy knows.

'I thought right he actually has lost his memory' deducted Gary looking at the surprised boy who was lost in Gary's cerulean eyes to which Gary began to feel uncomfortable. "Well then you must be hungry. Freshen up , I'll prepare your breakfast ". "Thank you for all you have done for me", he bowed, feeling obligated, as he descended towards the bathroom Gary pointed.

Gary laid down the plates into the dishwasher and wondered that it must be very difficult for him. He sat beside the boy (now surrounded by his pokémon). "So first we have to figure out what is you name? Don't you have any idea what is it?" The nodded in disagreement since he had no clue about his past. Sensing the problem Absol asked Umbreon for a dictionary. ('A DICTIONARY? What would a pokémon know about it? I think I have gone crazy..drools). Umbreon reached the nearest bookshelf and took out the biggest book available knowing how big a dictionary are and pushed it to Absol. She started flipping the pages as everyone stared in wonder. Stopping at a page, she summoned Gary and towards a French word. "Are you trying to say that this is his name?" Absol approved and Gary began to wonder what a bizarre name it was. No wonder he couldn't remember it.

"What is my name ?" asked the boy seeing the astonished look .

" Outré " replied Gary.

"What's so eccentric about my name?" asked the annoyed boy.

" No, It's your name." replied Gary.

"That's what I said. What is so weird about it?"

" Outré is your name. " " What! Thats a weird name." thought Outré realizing that some who is stupid must have give such a name. "Are you sure about that Absol?"

Absol frowned 'can't they trust me. Of course! I am sure can't I even remember my trainer's name '.

"Well then Outré, so what are you planning to do next?" asked Gary trying not to be rude as wounds are still deep.

" A bird without wings cannot fly in the sky of memories. But as long as we are alive new memories will create and a new life will bloom. " Outré replied calmly.

"Well I surely didn't thought that you would accept it so quickly. You are strong willed and persistent. It is necessary to live in this world." answered Gary understanding the meaning of his words.

"I 'm resolute and will not totter to such prospect" as he stood up and went out of the house followed by his four pokémon.

Gary was surprised to see his resolute behavior even though he was feeble. He followed his outside and asked "Where will you go Now you've no home". Outré has lost his memories and someone might be trying to kill him. Outré stopped to reply but could say only "There are chances in this world. There are only ht inevitable." before they gazed at the sky which was shrouded with shadows. They harked the bawl that made the sun go back to sleep as The smoke turned the whole sky raven black.

Gary summoned all inside but before they could enter...
