Thank you to Blue kitten for reviewing! Yes, you are right, the girl and boy are pretty obvious, the doctor is a random character and Sky is an OC. I hope you and everyone else enjoys this!
For future reference, I'm assuming that Hoenn is to the southwest of Johto and Kanto. Also, Blue is the girl and Green is the boy.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Sky and the elements of the plot that you don't know yet. You'll know when they appear.
The next day, we all woke up at about the same time. We laughed a little, then the boy held out his hand to me. "I just realized that we never really introduced ourselves yesterday. I'm Ruby, and this is my friend, Sapphire."
The girl, Sapphire, didn't seem too happy with this introduction, but I took his hand anyway and said, "Nice to meet you, Ruby, Sapphire. I guess I'm Sky."
That seemed to bring back a smile on Sapphire's face at least. "Let's see if we can get ya bag from the nurse, okay? We should head out soon."
I thanked her, and minutes later, she came back with a small messenger bag. It alternated a light shade of blue and an even lighter shade of blue with a little bit of gold color on the clasps.
"The nurse said that ya clothes should be in here. I don't know where, though…"
"I'll figure it out when I change. Thanks!"
"Yeah, no problem," she said, smiling as I went out the door.
"Hey guys?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's the bathroom?"
Laughter echoed through the halls.
Naturally, the bathroom was right across from my room. I closed the door and studied my face in the mirror. I didn't really remember my face. I had blue eyes, as Sapphire had pointed out before, and long, wavy blonde hair. A scar ran across my cheekbone, probably from the fall. I looked a little older than Ruby and Sapphire, maybe by one or two years, but I didn't really trust my judgement right now, despite the doctor telling me that I was fine.
I sighed quietly and reached into the middle pocket of my bag where I always kept my change of clothes. This was going to be a long journey, but hopefully this Yellow can help - wait, where I always kept my change of clothes?
My hand closed around fabric, and I pulled it out. In my hands were clothes. Clothes that I somehow remembered as always being in that pocket.
Ruby had mentioned my Pokemon. Where were they? Front pocket on the left, my brain instructed. I opened the clasp and peered inside. There they were, six Pokeballs, each with a Pokemon inside. I hurried to pull on my clothes so I could tell Ruby and Sapphire. There was a light green tank top that hugged my body comfortably, a ruffly royal blue skort (a skirt with shorts sewn underneath. Thank goodness I had that, my landing probably would have been much more awkward without it!), a dark green, sleeveless jacket, and a pair of black boots. I felt around inside my bag and found a necklace with a diamond-shaped blue pendant that matched my eyes and two bracelets, a blue one and a green one. I put on the jewelry, but my brain screamed "Wrong!" when I put the bracelets on my left arm. Happily, I switched the bracelets to my right arm and convinced my brain that all was okay.
"Guys! Guys, guess what?"
"What?" Ruby asked, looking a little alarmed.
"I remember where I put everything! My clothes were in here, my Pokemon were in here, oh, and I wear my bracelets on my right arm!"
Their faces broke into smiles. "Oh, that's great! Do you remember anything else?"
"Maybe my Pokemon… I haven't looked yet."
I reached in for a Pokeball, but Ruby stopped me. "They don't allow Pokemon out in the hospital. Let's check you out first, then we'll look at your Pokemon outside."
"Oh, okay. I didn't know."
"We know ya didn't," Sapphire said teasingly. "Ya don't remember anythin' but ya clothes and maybe ya Pokemon."
I giggled. "Let's hurry, I want to see if I remember them!"
Ruby went to the front desk while Sapphire and I ran outside. My hands fumbled with the clasp, but I finally ripped it open. Six Pokeballs tumbled out and I opened them up as fast as I possibly could.
I gasped at my team. I had an Altaria, a Lapras, a Blissey, a Ninetails, a Breloom, and a Gardevoir. They happily surrounded me, making sure I was okay. I grinned at Sapphire. "Yep, I remember them! We've been together for a really long time!" I noticed wounds on all of them though, so when Ruby got back, I asked to go to the nearest Pokemon Center.
"Sure," he said. "Why?"
I showed him the gashes on all of my Pokemon and his brow creased in worry. "You must have lost consciousness while fighting or running from something. These Pokemon don't lose battles easily, so that something must've been really strong." He was lost in thought for a moment, but he quickly looked up. "We'd better get going so we can get to Ever Grande City soon."
They showed me the way to the Pokemon Center, but to use as little time as possible, we asked Nurse Joy to only heal my Altaria so she could fly me to Ever Grande City. The rest of my Pokemon would be healed there. Five minutes later, we were in the air, Sapphire and Ruby on Sapphire's Pilo and me following them on my Altaria.
I loved the scenery from the air. The giant volcano loomed in the distance behind me; the gorgeous, sparkling ocean in front of me. Ruby had estimated that this trip would take about an hour, so I sat back and relaxed, watching the ocean fly beneath the couple in front of me. Sure, I knew they weren't a couple yet, because Ruby had introduced Sapphire as his friend, something he definitely wouldn't do if she was his girlfriend. But Sapphire's reaction to that, and how Ruby held on to Sapphire, and the way they looked at each other, blushing a lot, I was pretty sure that they would be a couple soon. I smiled at their backs, but then I noticed a sudden explosion of water in front of us. Three men on Mantines burst out of the splash and flew into the air, straight towards us. They attacked Pilo simultaneously, but we swerved to avoid the hit. One of them managed to sneak around to me and yelled, "Don't worry, we're here to save you! Follow me!"
Since he was part of the group attacking the only friends I knew of, I smiled, pretended to follow him, but as soon as he turned his Mantine around, I had Altaria hit him with Dragon Pulse, sending them spiraling downward. I urged Altaria towards Ruby and Sapphire, but they didn't need my help. Ruby's Castform had used Sunny Day, and Pilo quickly used Solar Beam to defeat the last two.
"Are you okay?" Ruby yelled back towards me.
"Yeah, I'm fine! Let's keep going!"
We made it to Ever Grande City without any other incidents, but I hadn't been able to enjoy the ride. I kept waiting for another explosion of water, for more men coming at me. But the one thought that kept repeating itself was why they thought they were rescuing me. I didn't think I needed to be rescued, Ruby and Sapphire had been very kind and hadn't acted suspiciously at all. I felt that I could trust them. Maybe those men had been people from my past who hadn't met Ruby and Sapphire yet. I had disappeared and then reappeared with strangers, but I didn't know why they wouldn't at least ask questions first.
We descended into the city, near the Pokemon Center, so we could heal our Pokemon and rest for the night. We got a couple of rooms, but settled in one. Ruby was the first to speak. "You don't know those men, do you?"
I shook my head. "I think they might know me though. One of them told me that they were saving me. I don't know who they were or why they thought I needed saving, but apparently they did."
"Did ya notice that they all looked the same? Maybe they're ya brothers!"
"I don't know, I look very different from them…"
"Besides, if that's the case," Ruby said, "you'll have a lot of explaining to do when you get your memories back. But anyway, I think we need a different route just in case. They knew we were going to pass by there, so they might've gotten our entire route. Let's surf first for a while, then fly to Violet City to bypass Cianwood City. Emerald's visiting Crystal there, so we'll even have a place to stay if I call to let her know."
"Sounds fine to me," I said, thinking something was wrong with this plan. I quickly dismissed it as my fear that they'd show up again when we were closer to the ocean. I'll be fine, I thought. Ruby and Sapphire are definitely not novice battlers and my Pokemon can hold their own in a fight.
"I'm good with it," Sapphire declared. "It'll be fun ta see how far we can go in a day."
"Okay, I'll leave you two to sleep then. I'll call Crys and sleep in the other room," Ruby said as he stood up to leave.
"'Night, Ruby."
"Good night."
We left early the next morning. I was going to ride on Lapras, but then I saw the size of Sapphire's Walo, and decided that company on this long (and terrifying) trip would be most welcome.
Please review! I love hearing your guesses!
