Through Your Eyes

Johanna put her hand out. She wanted to apologize, to say and show how much she missed her son. But no words could come that could even come close to say how sorry she was feeling. She pulled back. Afraid of making things worse. She took a deep breath..

"Joel.." He didn't turn around but kept grooming his Pokemon. He had moved on to Storm..

"I know I have been a horrible mother.." Joel then put up his hand.

"Stop right there Mom." He then turned around and she saw his face clearly. He looked just like his father..

"You are not or have ever been a horrible mother." he told her smiling. He patted next to him.

" Well? Aren't you going to sit down?" He asked with a cheerful smile. As she sat down, Storm nuzzled her cheek.

"Joel isn't this.." She began. Joel nodded.

"The Eevee you gave me? Yep." Johanna then frowned.

"I shouldn't have believed those things of you though.." Joel knew she meant about him being a beast..

"It's just.. Your father was an Aura Knight at one point, And it's such a dangerous job." he never knew this.

"I didn't know that."

"We didn't want you to. Your father had a close call when we were dating. We were afraid that if you became one that.." she was almost in tears, picturing her son dead.

"I wouldn't make it?" Johanna nodded not looking at her son. He took a deep breath.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about that. I admit I am an Aura Knight. But something happened in my life that you should know.." Johanna looked at him, her heart racing. He held out his hand exposing the wedding ring. She gasped. She wiped a tear from her eye.

"I'm in love mom. I have been for twelve years." He told her blushing. She put her hand on his shoulder..

"Tell me how the world looks through your eyes.."

Flashback Fourteen years ago..

Look at that cloud, as high as a tree, at least that's how it looks to me.

Joel started from when he left home. He had nowhere to go. He had learned a bit of his beast powers on his own.. As he wandered through route nine, a strange beam hit him in the chest. When he awoke he was in capsule. He realized it was Pokemon Hunter J's ship. J had cornered him just as he was about to make his escape..

"You managed to break free of your imprisonment? I'm impressed. It's targets like you that make my money worth while. But I'm afraid it's the end." J smiled evilly. Joel looked down There were two choices, one, become someone's prisoner or worse, two escape or die trying.. He put his finger to his head and mockingly saluted J. He plummeted to the ocean below, knowing he could not swim..

How about you? What do you see? What if we see things differently?

Johanna couldn't believe what she had heard. that's why he wasn't found.. He was taken away.. But where?

Joel then saw the ocean approaching quickly. He closed his eyes, bracing for the end. As he hit the water, A young pink haired girl saw him fall in. She swam in after him..

As he sank, Joel's mind flooded with questions.

'Who was that woman? What did she want with me? Does anyone even care..' It was at this point that his consciousness began to fade. He than saw a pink haired girl swim to him before he lost consciousness.

Show me, How the world looks through your eyes,

Tell me about the me about the sunrise, Let me see the stars shine,

Show me how the world looks through your eyes,

And I can show you how it looks through mine.

When he awoke he lay in a hospital bed. The young girl sat next to him asleep. Joel now was in a hospital gown. His clothes were folded on the dresser next him. On top of them his two Poke'balls, and blue backpack. A tall woman with blond hair and blue eyes came in..

"I see your awake." She smiled. She noticed this boy was distant. She pushed a bit her hair behind her right ear. She extended her hand.

"I'm Crystal Waterflower." she pointed to the girl asleep in the chair..

"This is my second youngest daughter Lily." She nudged Lily awake. Lily saw Joel was awake. She was relieved. He told them about J.. Mrs. Waterflower had then gave him a second home where he met Daisy, Violet and Misty. He had become the son Mrs. Waterflower never had.

If I had wings and I could fly,

I would tell you all about the sky.

He told her of how long he wished for the day they could be reunited.. He asked her.. "What about you?"

This would be difficult for Johanna.. She had to tell him..

How about you? If dreams could come true,

What do you imagine you could do?

"Well, Your father and I never gave up hope that you were alive. Even when they had declared you dead in Sinnoh." She went on..

"There is one thing you need to know.." She took a deep breath..

"You have a little sister now." Johanna admitted. Joel just chuckled. This confused her.

"I already know mom." He looked towards Dawn. "It's Dawn.. Right? Looks just like you." he told her. A smile on his face.

"How did you know?" She asked.

"I was at the grand festival in Sinnoh. I was hiding in the shadows of one of the entrances." he admitted. Johanna thought back. As she was watching, she thought she saw her husband. She saw her son..

Show me, how the world looks through your eyes,

Tell me about the sunrise, Let me see the stars shine.

Dawn and Joel hit it off. It was like they were never separated. Johanna met Joel's "other sisters" as well as his fiancé Lily..

Show me, how the world looks through your eyes,

And I can show you how it looks through mine.

Soon it came time for lunch. As everyone took their seats. Delia stood.

"I would like to welcome back Ash from his long journey of self discovery and adventure. I would also like to welcome his two new friends Saria Kensington and Joel Berlitz to our ever growing "family". As she sat Joel rose..

"Thank you Mrs. Ketchum. I know I speak for myself and Saria when I say It is an honor to be a part of such a caring family." He then looked at Lily who smiled and nodded.

"And speaking of family.. Me and Lily have an announcement to make.. We are getting married!"

There were cheers from the tables. But Joel wondered.. how would everyone take him quitting the Aura knights to settle down..

And I could show you secret trails

where no ones ever gone

I bet you've got secrets too, So don't be shy.

Come on Come on

Come on Come on,

And Show me,

How the world looks through your eyes,

Tell me about the sunrise, Let me see the stars shine.

Saria smiled at knight she considered her younger brother. 'He almost has his perfect ending.. So does Ash.. But what about me..' She thought.

Show me, How the world looks through your eyes,

And I can show you how it looks through mine.

Throughout the day, Stories were told of everyone's travels, and adventures.

Let me show you how it looks through mine..

In a dark fortress up north..

A tall black robed, hooded figure watched the celebration take place through a small stone pool. His red eyes glowed through the darkness, To a statue of a familiar woman, frozen in terror. He spoke a cold voice.

"So they think the sun has risen? They will soon learn the painful way that my darkness is eternal.. Isn't that right.. Crystal. Try to stop me this time, Aura Prince! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I thought this song would do well here. Who is that? And what could he want? Let me know what you thought of the evil laugh. Remember to read, review, and no flames.
