Chapter 4-Old Memories
Plop!
A small rock rolled off a nearby cliff and fell directly on Ash's head. Ash quickly reacted and opened his eyes, nearly dropping a tear. He sat up and leaned against a tree.
"Aw, man. That was a good nap!" He said as he yawned. He looked up into the blue sky and it was a bit cloudy, but was still sunny. He was awfully bored. Cilan and Iris were still fast asleep, and so were they're Pokémon.
He reached into his bag, looking for something to occupy him with. He jiggled his bag to find absolute anything interesting. Then an item that was shiny and gold fell out his bag .
He dropped his bag next to him and picked up this item. He couldn't help but spread a smile across his face as he observed the object.
The item had a golden medal crafted into a crowned circle. It had a half of a ribbon behind it. The ribbon was pink and had a strapped white line on the sides of the ribbon. The item was cut in half. This was the Terracotta Ribbon. Ash remembered May had the other half of the ribbon. They cut the ribbon in half because they tied in a contest.
When Ash thought about that, it brought back many memories. Like the time he and May were just so mad at each other and they met a couple that loved each other and Ash also remembered the couple said that him and May were a lovely couple. Ash and May objected. They battled the couple and badly lost. Ash and May continued that feud that same day. Until they met Team Rocket, again. Ash and May did great teamwork and beat Team Rocket together. Ash remembered how the couple once said that a good couple works together really well. Ash lightly blushed at the thought.
Ash also remembered the time He and May swam with a school of Luvdisc. May gave him a warm smile and he sended her one back. They then looked away from each other. Ash couldn't remember well, but someone once had told him that when a school of Luvdisc appears around a couple it means their love is strong or something like that.
His favorite memory of course was when they tied in the Terracotta contest. When they slashed the Ribbon in half, he remembered the commentator saying what a great friendship. The ribbon was something that they would remember each other by when they are not together. Ash looked up at the sky. He wondered what May was up to now. He wondered was she thinking about him and have she ended her journey.
Ash was happy that he had a great journey with May, Max, and Brock. They were such beautiful memories, that Ash will never forget.
Ash stood up and gathered his items and put them back in the bag. He put his bag on his back and awakened everyone and told them to get ready.
"Ugh... Where are we going?" Iris said grabbing her Pokéballs and rubbing her eye.
"Since we are done with the Unova League and I have a couple weeks until I go to the Kalos Region. I want to visit an old friend." Ash replied while lowering his arm to let Pikachu crawl up his arm to his shoulder.
"But what if they aren't where you would expect them to be?"
"Well, only one way to find out."
