My Strength Comes From Those I Love(Pokémon ver.)

Old Friends Return

My Pov

I woke up, feeling like head was full of rocks. I noticed Yami and Kage were here too.

"What happened?" Everyone snapped their attention to me. Yami bent down and helped me up. I noticed her Braixen was out instead of Delcatty and was helping Eve.

"Hikari, what happened?" Yami asked.

"I don't know. One minute I'm fine. The next, I fall asleep and end up in Traverse Town." I said.

"Traverse Town? Why there?" Yami asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Hikari, your clothes changed." Kage pointed out. I looked and saw she was right. I wore a white corset with green and pink floral designs and a thick white band in the center with three gold buttons. The chest was pale pink, while the bottom was lined with a brownish material with cut-outs shaped like flowers. It came with pale pink ruffled cuffs worn below the shoulder with brown bands on top, a green ribbon with white and pink stripes that ties around the neck and has a gem in the middle. A green skirt with a pattern of curly stems with flowers on it. The bottom, separated from the other section was brown with gold flowering details. The other section was a pale pink pleat. On my feet were simple shoes that are brownish-red on the bottom with green material that covers the foot. Attached to this material was a single Bell flower. The cuffs around the ankle were brown with gold lining and lacing(Look at Aikatsu; Lily Bell Coord). Eve had a Bell flower wrapped around her ear.

"This again... Just as I thought; something's wrong. Maybe I should head back to the Mysterious Tower." I said. Yami gently grabbed my shoulder.

"Hikari, Riku and Sora will be fine. You need to calm down. You're such a worrier." Yami said.

"I know. I know. I can't help that. I'd need something to distract me." I said.

"Glad you brought that up. I was walking around the Ansem's castle and you won't believe who I saw. It was Marluxia and Demyx." Kage said.

"But, they both faded into darkness. Which means you saw Lauriam and Myde!" I exclaimed. Eve was excited too. She had been close friends with Lauriam's Budew and Myde's Horsea.

"Exactly." Kage said.

"Take care of Tai tell I come back." I said. I hurried out the door. I ran to the postern and down the path. I made it to the castle and felt several familiar auras. 'It's them! I know.' I went inside and made several turns when "Ouch!" I ran into someone and fell back, but they grabbed my hand. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." I looked to see Myde and Octillery. "Myde, it is you!" It him a moment, but his face lit up.

"Hikari!" He wrapped his arms around me hugged me really tightly. Eve and Octillery high-fived each other. "It feels like it's been decades since I've seen you!" Myde exclaimed.

"Technically, a little over a decade." I said. Myde put me down and sighed.

"Just like Even and Ienzo. Always technical." Myde pointed out.

"Speaking of Even and Ienzo... are all of you here?" I asked.

"Everyone but Braig and Isa." Myde said.

"Braig can fall in a hole for all I care, but Isa not here?" I asked.

"Weird, right? Lea's looking for them, but can't find them. Everyone else is here, though. And I know they'll all be so happy to see you. Especially Ienzo." Myde said. We started walking toward the study. Again, I bumped into someone. I looked and saw Dulor, Lea and Dilan. With them were Alakazam, Magmar and Pidgeot.

"Hi, guys!" I greeted happily.

"Sylveon!" Eve greeted.

"Hikari! You've come back!" Dilan exclaimed.

"So are all of you!" I said.

"Hikari, for some strange reason, the others think that you're gone." Dulor said. I thought and remembered what Yami had told me.

"I'll explain why they think that, but later. Where's everyone else?" I asked.

"The study. I think seeing you will help them believe us." Dulor said.

"Yeah. When we tried to tell them you were okay, they got angry. Especially Relena. I thought she'd take our heads off." Lea said. Relena I could understand. She had a really tough life. Her parents disappeared and it seemed any other family just turned their backs on her. Her When I met her, she much like Larxene and even threw a knife at me to scare me, but I instead just smiled at her and asked to be her friend. That's when she broke into tears. Ever since then, she was always around me and protective of me. We went inside. Lauriam, Relena, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo were all busy tidying up the study, so they didn't notice. Neither did Roserade, Emolga, Donphan or Banette.

"We've returned." Dulor said.

"Anything wrong outside?" Even asked.

"No. Everything's peaceful." Dilan said.

"That's good. Anything else?" Ienzo asked.

"Yeah. About Hikari..." Myde began, but Relena cut him off.

"I said NOT to mention her!" Relena yelled. Eve jumped a little. Man, she was upset.

"Myde, you know better. Hikari's gone..." Lauriam said.

"If I'm gone, then why an I standing here?" I playfully asked. All five of them snapped up and turned around. Relena immediately tackled me and Emolga tackled Eve. They were sobbing. I just hugged her and calmed her down. Eve wrapped her feelers around Emolga. Ienzo was the next one to tackle me. He was my first friend before meeting Relena. Banette nuzzled Eve.

"Hikari! You're safe!" Ienzo exclaimed.

"You guys are too!" I said. I was so happy that all the drowsiness I had was gone. I caught up with everyone and told them about my adventures, seeing as it seemed their memories as Nobodies were faded. I waved goodbye to everyone and headed to Grandma's. I opened the door and walked inside.

"Hello honey." Grandma greeted.

"Hi, Grandma." I heard Tai squeal. I saw Yami sitting down while Kage was reading. I took Tai from Yami. "Hi, baby. Were you good for your Aunt Yami?" I asked. He nodded his head. Tai was a smart baby.

"Did seeing everyone help?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. I just hope I'll be able to sleep." I said.

"You will. Just try and stay calm." Kage said. That night, we ate dinner and went to bed. I looked out my window and felt a gentle breeze caress my face. It felt like a hand brushed my face. Like Ven had done a long time ago. I noticed a bright star. I folded my hands and made a wish; 'Please, let me have my brothers back. I want to see them again as they were the last time.'
