Dad says everything is planned, he says it's already mapped out in the stars and that we choose our life and our family and our friends and everything that's going to happen to us way before we're even born. When we're just tiny twinkling stars in the sky.

The Altaria chirped again, she had an air of elegance in her voice making her sound like a princess. Most likely why I named her Tiara. I hesitantly reached out to stroke her neck again, thankfully this time I received no frightful vision of my past.

"Shimmer?" Amy asked.

"Yeah?"

"How much do you not remember? Is it everything gone, or just your memories?"

I was quiet, thinking about the question. "I think just my memories are gone. I still know what a lot of things are but I can't remember anything from my past. Something's though, I don't know, like the different species of Pokémon but I know what Pokémon are."

Amy nodded and glanced a Thomas with a nervous look in her moss like eyes. "Nick is in the kitchen, since you found her you need to tell him about Shimmer."

Thomas groaned aloud. "Fine. Just keep an eye on her, I'll be right back." He said softly as the red eyed trainer got up to leave, Dusk following reluctantly behind.

"So, how much of your past do you remember?" Amy inquired turning back to me.

"So far..." I bit my tongue, should I tell them about Jemima? For some reason I felt like I had to keep that one secret, I didn't know why but it was like a shallow urge deep within some dark corner of my mind. "I've had two flashbacks so far, one with Tiara and the other with Shiver."

"Tell me about the first one." Amy said gently, crossing her arms and leaning back on her chair casually.

"Well... I was in a forest. Everything was kind of hazy and I couldn't make it out in detail of where exactly I was bleeding from somewhere on my arm... About here." I gently traced out where the cut had been along my own arm."There was two men who looked identical in every way I could make out... Their eyes had a funny look to them." It was a struggle to retain the memory in my mind for some reason, as if the darkness that plagued my mind wanted to swallow it back up. "They were trying to hold me. I know I was scared, I remember the feeling, and I called for Shiver. She bit one and attacked the other with a blue beam of ice, then I picked her up and ran with her, it ended there."

Amy nodded and looked over at Shiver, my Glaceon watching calmly from my side. "Do you remember when this happened?"

Shiver nodded, her black eyes wide and glassy as she hung her head low to stare at her front paws. ~Glaceon.~ She said quietly, seemingly quite upset, either at the memory or with herself for some reason.

I reached over and gently patted her the frosted crown atop her head. "Hey, it's alright. I'm fine, see."

Shiver looked up at me and nodded. ~Ce.~

~Al-tari.~ Tiara said quietly, I'd almost forgotten she was there to be honest. Her head was lower and she had a shameful look in her eyes.

I sighed and stroked her neck. "Come on guys I'm fine. Whatever you two blame yourself for, it is not your fault."

Tiara shook her head and Shiver just looked down.

"Maybe whatever happened to your memories has something to do with those men. Possibly, you sent your Pokemon out to protect yourself and they lost a battle meaning that those men got you." The greenette thought aloud, folding her arms over her chest. "Whatever they did to you may have resulted in you somehow loosing your memories. But how would you have ended up on the beach? Maybe you escaped?" Amy mumbled, slightly more to herself.

"That could be right, I guess." My reply came out distant as I tried desperately to rake every corner of my brain for a memory of the truth, anything to give me some clue if Amy's theories were true or false.

Amy sighed, dropping her arms but retaining her frown. "What about the second memory?"

"Umm... I was having a battle with someone, I couldn't make out any details again but that person I was battling had a purple feline Pokemon. It used a moved called Thunderbolt while I called for Tiara to use Dragon Pulse before that."

The green eyes trainer looked out the window for a brief moment, her expression distant. "Purple feline Pokemon... Probably a Liepard or Purrlion. Did it walk on four legs, or two?"

"Four." I answered after a second to think.

"Liepard it is. Both times you were scared right?"

I nodded. "Yeah. I was afraid of them."

Amy nodded thoughtfully for a moment. "You have one more Pokemon, correct?" After I nodded, she continued. "And both your flashbacks came after you touched your Pokemon?"

"Yes..." I answered hesitantly, I knew where this was going.

"Well then I think its time to meet your final Pokemon. You may learn something important from this flashback." She waited as I took a breath in and nodded.

"I guess so." I reached into the purse sitting on my lap and pulled out the final Pokéball. The final Pokéball in my bag reacted instantaneously when the middle button was pressed, expanding to the same size as the two before them. The same beam of light shot out when the button was clicked a second time and my final team member materialised from the light.

It had a butterfly like appearance, frail violet wings, decorated with patches of orange, red and black, fluttered lightly to keep it afloat. Its grey and black body swayed slightly with the movements of the wings. Like my other two Pokemon it had black eyes but unlike them, three small white squares shone within. Two antenna sprouted from the top of its head, tipped with a seed shaped end, matching the colour of it's body.

~Vivi-llon?~ It said in a squeaky voice.

"A Vivillion, same as Alice once again. I must admit, this is strange." Amy said with a frown. "This is an elegant form, same as Alice's and I swear if her name is Wish then I'll call you Alice from now on." She said the last part as more of a joke.

~Viv?~ Vivillion asked looking at me curiously.

~Glaceon, glace eon glaceon.~ Shiver said to Vivillon.

~Viiiv...~ Vivillion nodded, frowning slightly.

I wish I knew what they were saying, I thought as Vivillion flew over to me, her dainty wings flapping in a steady rhythm to keep her airborne. I closed my eyes and reached my hand out to pat her, flinching slightly when felt her head come into contact with my hand and with a jolt everything around me warped into yet another vision from my past.

"Wish!" I screamed, my purple butterfly Pokemon falling from high in the air of the room.

I raced to catch her, pulling her soft, bruised body into my chest. Tears pored from my eyes as I fell to my knees in defeat. "Wish? Please answer me." I begged.

~Viv?~ Her black eyes opened slightly, showing pain and shame. ~Vivillion.~

"Well well well, you lost. No surprise there." A snide voice called from the inky blackness that surrounded me. The voice struck fear into me, it was as if it was running though my vains. Making me on the brink of collapsing under it.

"Stay away from me!" I screamed, holding my Vivillon tighter. "I don't want this!"

"Whether you want something to happen and what really does happen are two different things. This is what is happening now, you could of changed it but you were to weak and vulnerable to do so." He said as if my fear amused him.

With that I felt a pair of strong arms grab hold of my shoulders and my Pokémon was ripped from my grasp.

"Wish!" I screamed as my Pokémon disappeared from my sight.

I yanked my hand back, breathing hard. I hugged my hand to my chest and tried to shake the last of the vision from my head. My breathing increased as my heart seemed to flurry, skipping a beat.

"Shimmer? Are you alright?" Amy said in alarm, raising out of her chair.

I shook my head. "No, I'm not."

"What did you see?"

"I'd just lost a battle, I think, Vivillon was falling from the air and I was running to catch her. When I caught her a voice started taunting me. It scared me more then anything, it was almost unbearable. After someone grabbed me and Wish was taken from me."

"Wish?"

"That's what I was calling Vivillon." I admitted.

Amy frowned. "This is serious, three of the same Pokemon as Alice all with the same nicknames and these flashbacks. Something is off here?"

"I'd say." Thomas said walking in with a red haired boy. "Shimmer, Nick. Nick, Shimmer." He said gesturing to each person when he said their name.

"Hello." Nick said cheerfully.

"Err... hi?" I said awkwardly, trembling slightly from my flashback.

Nick was slightly chubby with a bubbly air to him. He had a wavy red hair that spiked slightly at the ends, each tipped with orange. His flame coloured eyes seem to burn into me slightly as he looked me over. His outfit was quite casual, a sandy yellow tank top with orange board shorts.

"Little socially awkward aren't ya?" Nick chuckled after I remained silent for several minutes.

I smiled shyly. Maybe I was socially awkward...

Just a little...
