Reminding the forgetful
His eyes lightened up when he saw me. He jumped on my shoulder with a smile on his face. "Hey Pikachu what are you doing? How do you know her?" In my head I was thinking "Oh gee thanks a lot you forgot about me" But I didn't want to say it to him because I didn't want to be mean. So I just lied and said "Umm… No I don't think we know each other. But just in case my name is Dawn." I can't believe I just lied to him! But it's not like he would remember me anyways so what's the point? He smiled at me and said "That's a nice name. I think I know someone named Dawn but I just can't remember. I'm Ash. This is my buddy Pikachu." Then the girl named Iris came up. "Hi I'm Iris. It's nice to meet you Dawn." She seems nice. But Ash seems to be such an egg head. But then Ash walked up to pick up Pikachu off my shoulder. "So Dawn, what kind of pokemon do you have?" Well it was obvious that of course we have to have pokemon from this region but I still have a hard time catching new pokemon. So I told him I had an Umbreon, Espeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Glaceon and Leafeon. His smiled disappeared and turned into a worried face. "You better be careful. Some pokemon from other regions aren't allowed around here." I sighed then I looked at him. "I know. It's just that I've had a hard time catching pokemon… none of them interest me." Then Ash's face softened. "Oh. That's okay. I've had the same problem you had too." I looked at him and smiled. He's just the same way I remember him. Then suddenly, he remarked my pendant around my neck. "Hey, that pendant you're wearing, it feels like I've seen it before. I just can't remember…" I was right. Still the big egg head I knew a couple years ago. But this was kind of different. He still is the same egg head but the fact is that he's not the exact SAME one I knew. I won't take pity on him for forgetting. I'll just let it slide for now.
Later that day, I was in the room I stayed in and lied down on my bed just looking at the ceiling. I closed the window so there was no light that would come in. But then, I heard a knock on my door. I yelled "COME IN!" What I didn't expect was HIM to come in. I opened the window for some light. "Oh. It's you." He smiled. "Yeah, I just came to talk since I thought you'd be a bit lonely." I gave him a surprised look. "Oh! I'm fine. But since you're already here, sure why not?" I gave him a sincere smile. "So… do you travel on your own?" His question was a bit surprising, but after what I've been through, it seemed kind of normal. "Yeah, I do. I don't have anyone to travel with. But, I'm okay with it." But the truth is I'm not okay with it. I've felt so lonely, ever since my journey started. I felt lost and isolated. Ash looked at the ground. "Um…" He scratched the back of his head. "You know, you can always… come with us." I was surprised. But, what I didn't know was that I was blushing. "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine." "So, do you want to come with us?" I nodded. Another journey has begun.
I'm very sorry for the REALLY late update. I completely forgot about this story. The next chapter will be up sooner. I promise on my Writing Life.
