9Okay! I've decided to update this story as it has been a couple months since it was published and I know you all want a new chapter. So here is the next chapter!
Now, one of you asked if May will be pregnant in this story, like in another story like this. First off, this isn't the same as that story. Second, I have read that story, but this story is COMPLETELY different so May isn't pregnant...yet. Tell me when you want May to get pregnant and whether it should be a boy or a girl. Please give me names as well and I'll put up a poll with the best names.
Also, tell me how you want Ash to regain his memory of May. In another story, he gets his memory back by seeing the ribbon he and May won, but I want to know how you want him to remember her. So tell me in a review.
Thank you to all the readers who reviewed, followed and faved this story and me! You are all awesome!
Enjoy the story!
P.S. I don't own Pokemon.
P.S.S. If you have forgotten what happened last chapter, read that first.
When May walked back into the room, Ash immediately apologised. "I'm so sorry May. I want to remember you, but for some reason I can't"
May had a look of understanding in her eyes. "Don't worry Ash. It wasn't your fault you lost your memory of me, it was that trainers. But...that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt any less" She placed her right hand over her heart and clenched it.
Ash saw this and knew he had to remember her soon or risk loosing the one he supposedly cares about the most. He looked at his friends and mother and asked for a moment alone with May.
"Can you guys give us a moment in private please?"
They all nodded and left the room until only May and Ash were left.
The room was filled with awkward silence because May didn't know what to say and because Ash was thinking of what he wanted, no, needed to say. Eventually, he took a deep breath and let it out before speaking.
"Listen May. I am promising you right now I will do everything in my power to get my memories of you back. I'm already guessing mom told you about this happening when I was younger right?"
May could only nod in response.
"Well, as you know, it only took me looking at a picture of her and my dad's wedding day to remember her. So, let's try using some pictures of us together and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then we'll try over ways of getting my memory back"
May smiled before nodding. "Of course. It just so happens I have a picture of us together on our first date together" She then rummaged through her fanny pack and pulled out a picture before walking over and sitting next to Ash on the bed.
She showed him the picture. It was just the two of them, Ash dressed smart and May dressed in a dress. The thing that caught Ash's attention was the fact he looked to be about fourteen in the picture. He turned to May and looked in her eyes.
"May?"
She blushed a bit and expected him to have remembered her as a smile came on her face.
"Yes Ash?"
"Why do I look around fourteen in the picture? Misty, Dawn and Serena told me we were only dating around four years, so why do I look so young in the picture?"
May's smile disappeared and was replaced with a frown. She was upset, she thought he remembered her. But these things take time and she still had some more things to help. She then remembered he asked her a question and she needed to answer.
"Actually Ash, you were thirteen and I was twelve when this picture was taken. You were travelling through Sinnoh at the time and I came to compete in the Wallace Cup. The day before, we went on a date and we asked a stranger to take this picture of us. We had such a good time. You were really romantic. We went to a restaurant, you spared no expense in trying to impress me, even though you didn't need to and we actually controlled our eating habits. Then we went for a walk through the park and this woman, who seemed to know you, came up and talked to us for a bit. Just before she left I asked her to take our picture with my camera and she did it. I've carried that picture with me ever since"
Ash looked at her with awe. They did so much in that one day and he couldn't remember any of it. Getting curious, he asked "Who was the woman who took our picture?"
May put a finger to her chin and looked up in thought. "I believe her name was...Cynthia I think?"
Ash's eyes widened. "Cynthia White? The Sinnoh League Champion took the picture?"
Realisation lit up on May's face. "That's right! She did say she was the Champion of Sinnoh. She also said you were good friends as well. You look so friendly with each other I actually got jealous and asked if you two were secretly dating behind my back" Her eyes got dark and had that judging look in them.
Ash panicked and started to wave his arms about while saying "N-no way May! I would never do that! She's just a good friend who happens to be the Sinnoh Champion! Yes I like her, but only as a friend!"
May suddenly giggled. "You actually said that on that day as well. And I know you would never lie so I instantly believed you"
Ash breathed a sigh of relief, causing May to giggle again. "So, did any of that bring your memory back?"
Ash started to rummage through his head. He started to get vague images of the day, he remembered seeing Cynthia, but there was someone else with them, but they were all blurry.
"Sorry May. I can remember that day, but I still have no memory of you. Sorry"
May sighed before waving her hand in dismissal. "It's fine Ash. We can't rush these things anyway. I kind of knew the picture wouldn't work right away so we'll try another one when we get back to your house"
Ash was about to respond when the doctor came in. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I came to tell you that Mr. Ketchum needs to get some rest now. We need to keep him over night to observe him. You are free to stay if you wish, but it would mean sleeping in the chair and they aren't very comfortable i'm afraid"
May and Ash nodded. Ash turned to May and said "Well, do you want to stay or go. I'd rather you stay but it's up to you May"
May smiled and answered honestly. "I'm staying with you Ash. I'm not letting you out of my sight until you got your memory back"
Ash grinned and nodded. May sat down in the chair by Ash's bed and was about to curl up and go to sleep when Ash said "Actually May...would you like to...sleep in...the bed...with...me?"
May looked at Ash as if he had grown a second head and she could see he was refusing to look her in the eye with a blush present on his face. Shaking hr head, she smiled and answered with "Sure Ash" before getting into the bed with Ash when he made some room.
Ash was lying on his back as he couldn't sleep on his left side because of his arm and May was on his right side, facing him. She wanted to snuggle up to him as it was a habit, but she didn't want to bring him any pain because she might touch his arm accidentally. So she just lay there and said "Goodnight Ashy. Sweet dreams" Before closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep. Ash only just got out his own "Goodnight" before she fell asleep.
Before Ash went to sleep, he took a good look at May's sleeping face. He marveled at how beautiful the eighteen year old girl was. How could he forget someone so kind hearted, beautiful and loving? He had to remeber her and soon. He knew that with each day that will come where he doesn't remember her, her heart will break more and more until she can't take it anymore and does something drastic and he doesn't want that.
So, closing his eyes, he fell into a troubled sleep.
A few hours later
Ash woke up because he could feel May squirming around the bed. Opening his eyes, he saw May was sweating a bit, her hands and eyes were clenched shut and she was gritting her teeth. She was having a nightmare and he needed to do something to calm her down. If he could move his left arm he'd wrap it around her...Wait! Realisation hit him like Pikachu's Thunderbolt. His right arm was still free!
Sliding it under her, he wrapped his arm around May and brought her closer to his body so she was snuggling up to him. He was sporting a blush because of what he was doing, but it seemed to work as May calmed down and snuggled closer to him. Sighing in relief, Ash closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Ash's Dreamscape
Ash was in a field of flowers. He looked around and all he could see was miles and miles of flowers and fields.
"Hey, there you are! I've been looking all over for you silly!"
He turned around to see a figure was looking at him. But there was a problem. They were blurry and Ash couldn't make out who they were.
"I just got here myself. Sorry I took so long. I had to tell Brock I wanted to battle you before you went back to Johto"
Why did he say that? He doesn't know this person...does he? Their voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't place it. Who was he talking to?
The figure giggled. "Figures. I still can't believe they haven't figured our secret yet. It's been two years and they still have no idea about us"
Ash found himself laughing. Why was he laughing. "Yeah, it's almost as if they're as dense as I pretend to be"
The figure giggled back. "So, what do you want to do before my ferry leaves?"
Ash found he was smiling at the figure as an idea suddenly came into his head. "How about we just hang around? We haven't spent much alone time since you came to Sinnoh and I'm going to kiss you when you go" Ash found himself becoming sad for some reason.
The figure sighed. "I'm going to miss you too Ashy..."
Ash suddenly remembered. May called him Ashy before going to sleep! Was this figure...could it be...May?
Before Ash could think about it anymore, the scene blacked out and he woke up.
End Dream
Next morning
Ash woke up the next morning and found he was still in the hospital. What was with that dream last night? Wait. Was it a dream? Or a memory? I'll ask May, she might know.
He looked down and saw May wasn't in the bed anymore. Sitting up, he looked around the room and saw she wasn't in the room either. But he could hear talking outside the room. One sounded like May, while the other sounded like a guy. His voice sounded really familiar, but he couldn't place it. He'd probably know who it was if the blinds weren't blocking his view of the corridor. Suddenly, he heard May start to raise her voice. It seemed she was mad about something.
He couldn't really make out what the conversation is about, but before he could dwell on it, May came storming back into the room, walked up to Ash and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips.
When May pulled back, she saw Ash had a shocked look on his face, which immediately vanished with May's next words. "So you see Drew!? I'm dating Ash! Now stop pestering me and stop asking me out because I will never date you!"
Ash looked at the entrance to the room, and sure enough, Drew was stood there, wearing the same outfit he wears everytime Ash sees him.
And there is the next chapter. I know it is shorter than the last one, but I needed to update and this was the best time to do so.
Once again, thank you to those who have followed, faved and reviewed this story. I love how my stories are getting attention.
Remember, I will update when I have the time so please, don't remind me to update and don't ask me to do it quickly as it will not help. Thank you.
So long, farewell, good day, good night.
