Mudster picked up Ralts again and threw her onto his back, "Let do this thing!" he said as he got into battle, glaring at the Regirock from a distance.
"Here we go!" Mudkip yelled as he ran towards the giant Pokemon using Watergun heading straight towards Regirock's left hand.

Meanwhile, Muddy ran out of the gym and headed towards the forest, "I hope I don't get into too much trouble," he said to himself, "Those Pokemon are funny, and how did they know my name...?" he couldn't remember and just kept on running deeper into the forest.

((twists are driving me nuts....))

Growlithe picked some Persim berries. "Just the thing to cure confusion." She walked back to where Muddy was and gasped. "He's...gone?" Her eyes watered.

Muddy tapped Growlithe on the shoulder, "Umm...lady, have you seen my brother anywhere...?" he asked as he sat down behind her and tilted his head, "Hey, have I seen you before...?" he asked another question.

Growlithe jumped and turned around. "Your brother's in there." She pointed to the gym. "Yes, you have seen me before. You'll remember when you eat one of these..." She handed him a Persim berry.

"What's this...Mum told me not to except candy from strangers, but you said that I have seen you before...so..." Muddy stared at the berry, trying to remember her, "Where have I seen you before...?" he thought out loud.

"On a boat. And just remember, it's just a Persim berry. It'll give you your memory back. I'm no stranger." She said seriously.

Muddy gave himself a minute to think, "Okay, it's only a berry, right...?" he said as threw the berry up into the air and caught it in his mouth on the way down. He started chewing the berry and then swallowed it.
Muddy looked into Growlithe's eyes sadly, "Growlithe...?"

"Yeah, if you want to, we'll all eat one too."Pikachu said, taking a Persim berry.

Growlithe stared. "Muddy...tell me, do you remember what happened? In the gym when you got hurt?" She hoped the berry had worked.

Muddy was still fixed on Growlithe, "Regi...he hit me...?" he spoke to her. Muddy still was a bit fizzy on everything.

"Yes...you still seem a little confused though. Eat another berry." Growlithe nodded.

Muddy took another berry off Growlithe and ate it, "I was...protecting you...?" he said as he stared down at Growlithe's paws.

"Yes!" Growlithe smiled and hugged Muddy. She was happy something hadn't gone rye again, especially now.

Muddy just stood there, trying to remember his past, and then it just flashed by just like that. Muddy hugged Growlithe back, "Sorry..." he whispered into her ear as he hugged Growlithe even harder.

((Oh, I forgot to tell you, I caught over 60 Pikachus in the Safari Zone in Emerald looking for a Light Ball. None of them had it. There was an outbreak of Pikachu...I guess.))
Growlithe hugged Muddy back. "It's alright, that blow from Regirock messed you up." She tilted her head. "Want to go on a walk for a while?"

((If you want a Light Ball, you should put a Pokemon in your team with Static. You'll run into heaps more Pikachu. That's how I got my two Light Balls.))

Muddy nodded slowly, "Yeah, sounds great..." he smiled.

((I always brought one Pikachu with me, and it was a Pika swarm in there!))

Growlithe smiled. "Okay then, let's follow the route we took to get here." She walked along the road.

((Yeah, Pikachu has Static, that's why you were running into them a lot.))

Muddy follow alongside Growlithe, "So...what should we talk about...?" he asked her tilting his head. It was a full moon tonight.

((Durring that time I had forgotten about Static and I was surprised by how many Pikas I found. My little sister was like, "The Pikachu's love you!" I laughed when she said that.))
Growlithe tilted her head. "You chose." She laughed.

((lol))

Muddy looked up at the stars above, "Do you know your parents well...?"

((I told her, "Nah, they're trying to rip my guts out and I'm catching them" ))

Growlithe looked up. "No, not really. You?" She looked over at Muddy.

((lol, Pikachus are crazy.))

Muddy still had his eyes fixed at the stars, "No, but after what happened, I don't think I want to know..."

Growlithe looked at Muddy. "Sorry." She looked back up. "What were you doing before I met you?"

Muddy stopped, "I..." he started walking again, staring at the path before them, "I was caught by this trainer, he was nice, very friendly towards his other Pokemon, I used to sit on his shoulder, and sleep in his bag..." he sighed, "He would always talk to me, we had a connection, he knew that I hated Pokeballs..."

((I put my sister's Pika plush that talks when you press it's hand in a cooler today, and everytime I opened the lid it said something. The first time, it freaked the heck out of me. ))

Growlithe took Muddy's hand. "I understand. I had a trainer too." She stopped for a moment and looked at the stars. "They're sure pretty tonight."
