_______________________________________

A five-year-old boy resembling Ash, sat under a tree alongside a girl who was the same age as him. Together they were enjoying a view of the beautiful night sky, as there were people in the distance celebrating one of the most important festivals of their kind.

"H-Hey Ashura...?"

"Yeah..?"

"Can I ask you for something? Pretty pleeeaaassseee!"

"As long as you don't ask something stupid like you always do, I will listen."

"Wahhh..! You such a meanie!" The girl started to cry childishly.

Ashura sighed, not wanting to hear her loud annoying voice anymore he rolled his eyes before giving up. "Fine..! Fine...! I will listen to you, just stop crying already!"

"Tehe~Tehe~!" She giggled playfully, being the ball of sunshine she was.

"I am gonna regret it later...." Ashura mumbled under his breath.

The girl then gave a bright angelic smile that could even melt the heart of the devil itself ....Truly unfortunate that this was one of the very few pure smiles and souls this cruel world failed to protect.

"I want you to promise me that ................................................"

...

Haunted by the very same dream for a week now Ash finally woke up from his nightmare. The raven-haired boy was breathing heavily with a horrified look plastered on his face. What was that he just witnessed right now?

Soon however he realised it was the very same dream he had again! Gritting his teeth in anger and frustration Ash slammed the wall! Tears started to form around his eyes from this constant melancholy.

"Even after all these years of traveling and hard work ...have you discovered where you belong, what your goal is, how you are even going to achieve it, and who you are truly..."

Why! Why! WHY!!!!!!

Those words....He covered his face with his hand to stop the tears from falling anymore.

'Everyday...! Every night...! Every moment...! Why do I feel like this? What were those? What were those dreams? What even was that promise? Why am I seeing these strange images? Was that even real? Why do I feel like I have seen that girl.....Just......WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!' Ash internally screamed.

Ash sighed with a tired look. As expected he doesn't have a clue what is going on with him. Suddenly he felt someone was watching him. He turned around and saw Pikachu was giving him a worried and curious look on his face. The electric rodent only woke up due to Ash slamming the wall earlier...

"Having nightmares again...Ash?" Pikachu asked worriedly.

Ash didn't understand what Pikachu was saying but he did understand what he was trying to say. After all the bond they shared was unlike any other he had with his other Pokemon. "I am fine buddy."

Pikachu knew more than anyone Ash was anything but fine. After all none of Ash's Pokemon knew him better than Pikachu did. But given how stubborn his trainer could be Pikachu knew arguing with him was pointless since Ash would not confess that he was having a problem.
