Part 6: Through her eyes

The characters of Sailor Moon and Pokémon belong to respective owners.
The song "Oh Starry Night", music and words written by: Michael
Benghait, John Miyagi Author and Andy Heyward. Sang by Sandi Howell.

"Hey there's a town right up ahead!" Brock pointed towards small
houses at a distance.

"And it looks like there's a party going on too." Mina remarked
hearing a festive music as they drew closer.

"Hurry up you guys! You don't want to miss out all the fun do you?"
Ash shouted, waving to them. Ash, Misty and Pikachu were all standing
in front of a large banner that read "Welcome to Calypso Valley! Join
in the fun of the Caravanafest!"

The gang was excited as they entered the town. The atmosphere was
noisy. People from different cultures flocked everywhere, dressed in
their national costumes. Upbeat, loud music blared from the
loudspeakers. Balloons, party streamers and other festive decorations
were displayed everywhere. Food stalls, games and other forms of
entertainment were set up along the streets for everyone to enjoy.

The gang admired each stall as they passed through the busy and
crowded street of Calypso Valley. They stopped in front of a bakery
stall. Ash and Misty wanted to buy some foods since they couldn't stop
smelling the delicious aroma.

"Do you want to me to buy something?" Brock asked Mina, his hands on
his pocket searching for his wallet.

"No, thank you." Mina said politely.

"Do you guys have changed for $10.00 by any chance?" Misty asked, "Ash
and the vendor don't have any exact change."

Mina searched through her pocket until her hand caught an unusual
object. She took it out and gazed at her forgotten black leather
wallet.

She felt two pressed against her back and shoved her violently. "My
wallet!" She cried as her wallet flew away from her hands and landed
on the gravel, a few inches away from her. She fell to the ground.

"Watch where you're going!" Misty yelled at a teenage girl who passed
them by, smirking.

"Are you ok?" Brock asked, bending down to help her.

Mina held out her right arm to grab for her wallet, but there were
many scurrying feet blocking her way. A sneaky hand beat her to it and
took her wallet first.

She looked up to see a rough looking-teenage boy dressed in cut-off
blue denim jacket and blue jeans walking away with her wallet.

"Someone help me! He stole my wallet!" She screamed, pointing towards
the teenage boy who was now running away.

Without hesitation, Pikachu quickly ran and followed the pickpocket
crook.

Mina stood up with an angered look on her face. She placed her left
hand near her right shoulder and she pointed her right index finger
forward. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" She yelled. Her venus symbol
suddenly appeared on her forehead, glowing.

While Ash and Misty looked away, Brock and Jigglypuff stared at Mina
surprisingly.

"Was that for real or was it just a hallucination?" Brock wondered.

"Jiggly! Jiggly! (Where have I seen that sign before?)" Jigglypuff
said. She stared down into her hands and saw Mina's transformation pen
glowing strangely.

"Did you see that too Jigglypuff?" Brock asked.

Jigglypuff hid the transformation pen behind her. She looked up at him
and smiled. "Jigglypuff!" She answered, nodding her head.

Mina froze for a moment. "What the heck am I doing?" She thought. "Why
is this so familiar?" She dropped her arms and turned around to see
Brock and Jigglypuff gazing curiously at her. Mina covered her mouth
in embarrassment.

Pikachu did his agility attack. He was behind with the restless
criminal. Pikachu screamed, "PIKACHUUU!!!" shocking the enemy with his
electric attack.

"Good job Pikachu!" Ahs said, running up to him. Misty, Brock, Mina
and Jigglypuff followed behind. Mina patted Pikachu and gratefully
thanking him.

A loud whistle startled them. They looked up to see Officer Jenny
approaching them on her motorcycle.

"What's the commotion going on here?" Officer Jenny asked.

"Officer, this guy was trying to steal my wallet!" Mina informed her,
pointing to the unconscious criminal on the ground. "Until Pikachu
stopped him!"

Officer Jenny called through her police radio for backup. "Don't
worry, we'll take care of everything from here!" She said. "Oh! You
almost forgot your wallet Miss..." She picked up Mina's wallet from
the ground. Mina's wallet was open and showed her school ID through
the clear plastic cover. "Miss Mina Aino. Make sure he didn't take
anything." She smiled at Mina.

"Who?" Mina asked, sounding confused.

"Please forgive her, she somewhat lost her memory." Brock explained.

"Oh my!" Officer Jenny said alarmingly. "I think you better come with
me!"

* * *

"I'm sorry Miss Aino I can't seemed to find your school or the town
where you came from.." Officer Jenny said sadly, her sympathetic eyes
gazed over to Mina's blue eyes.

Mina felt her hopes dashed away. Hiding her disappointment, she forced
herself to calm and gave Officer Jenny a timid smile. "I understand
you've tried your best. Thank you for helping me out." She stood up
from her seat and extended her right hand to Officer Jenny.

"Jiggly! Jiggly!" Jigglypuff said urgently, tugging Brock's pants.

Brock watched as Mina and Officer Jenny exchanged goodbye as they
shook their hands. He looked down to see Jigglypuff tugging his pants,
trying to get his attention.

"Jiggly! Jigglypuff!!" Jigglypuff exclaimed, her tiny hand pointing to
her forehead several times.

It took a few seconds for Brock to understand. "No, no. You don't want
say anything about that sign. You don't want to see her upset. No w do
you Jigglypuff?" He asked. His mind vividly remembering the mysterious
symbol appeared on Mina's forehead earlier.

Jigglypuff shook her head in response, her eyes brimmed with tears and
was about to cry.

"No, no, please don't cry!" Brock pleaded. "I can't stand when a
pokémon cries. We have to be strong for her ok?"

Jigglypuff nodded and started hiccuping. She went to Mina and nuzzled
her legs.

"Thanks again, Officer Jenny!" Mina said. She looked down and picked
up Jigglypuff in her arms. The three of them left the police station
together.

"Mina wait!" Brock placed his hand on her shoulder. She turned around
and stared directly at him.

"Look, don't give up!" Brock reassured her. "I'm sure we can find a
way!"

"Brock, I know you're trying to help." Mina said sadly, turning her
face away and stared at the ground. "But I don't think anyone can."

Brock grasped her shoulders with his two hands. "Everything is going
to be alright, Mina. I know you're scared and confused. Don't worry,
Jigglypuff and I will be here for you ok?" He gently lifted her chin
up and her blue eyes looked back at him. He smiled at her.

"Jigglypuff!!" Jigglypuff responded happily.

Mina only nodded in response and gave a timid smile.

"You're gonna be okay!" Brock said softly, gently squeezing her
shoulders for comfort. Mina felt the tension drained away from her as
he continued to massage her. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes.

"Um, we should go now." She said reluctantly after a few moments
later, breaking the silence between them.

"Uh.. yeah." Brock answered, pulling his gaze away from Mina's intense
blue eyes. "Ash and the others are probably waiting for us at the
Pokémon Centre."

"Jigglypuff? (What's going on here?)" Jigglypuff thought, staring at
both Mina and Brock.

* * *

"I hope things work out when they returned." Misty said worriedly,
looking over the window.

"It all work out you'll see," Ash said confidently, standing behind
her.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu nodded in agreement.

"Poor Mina, it must be tough for her not having her memories," Misty
said sympathetically. "She must be scared to be in a strange place
like this."

"At least, we should try to be good friends to her," Ash pointed out.
"Like Brock, he's been really nice to her."

"That's because he LIKES her a lot!" Misty said, rolling her eyes.
"Didn't you notice he wasn't drooling over Office Jenny this
afternoon?"

"Notice what?" Ash questioned. "I didn't see anything!"

"Oh Ash," Misty shook her head in disbelief. "What I mean is, Brock is
spending a lot of time with Mina. Remember he was trying to capture
Eevee? He was trying to impress her!!"

"Who can forget that?" Ash chuckled. "But Mina is just one of the
pretty girls he falls in love with. He'll get it over soon!"

"Yeah but," Misty said reluctantly, "But when Brock captured Eevee,
his leg got injured from the fight. Mina rushed to nurse him as if she
really cared. That's never happen before any of the girls he met.
There's something different about Mina. She seemed to be enjoying his
company a lot."

"Why are you thinking of playing the matchmaker Misty?" Ash teased.

"Of course not!" Misty scoffed.

"What do you know about romance, Misty?" Ash teased her some more.

"F.Y.I. I KNOW plenty of it, Ash Ketchem!" Misty shouted.

They continued to argue until the creaking noise of a door opening
interrupted their talk. They turned around to see Brock, Mina and
Jigglypuff entered the room.

"Hi guys!" Ash greeted his friends. "So, how did it go?"

"I hope it's a good news!" Misty said, sounding optimistic.

Mina shook her head sadly.

"Oh Mina, I'm really sorry." Misty said sympathetically.

"It's okay." She answered quietly. "You know what they say, tomorrow's
another day. I'm not giving up!!" She added, sounding confident and
determined. Hiding her nervousness and fear inside of her.

"That's the spirit!" Brock exclaimed. "The important key is not too
lose hope. You won't be alone Mina. You'll always have friends like
us!"

"Thank you everyone!" Mina said gratefully, her eyes gazed over the
smiling faces back at her. "Have I kept you waiting too long?" She
asked, glancing over at Ash and Misty as she spoke to them.

"No, no!" Ash shook his head. "We were worried about you if everything
went okay."

"We were gonna take you tonight at the Food Event." Misty explained.
"But I guess you're probably tired since this afternoon."

"That's very thoughtful of you. But you didn't have to cancel your
plans because of me!" Mina protested.

"It's no big deal." Misty said. "We can all order take out."
"But I want you guys to go." Mina insisted. "You don't want to be
stuck here when you can be outside having fun and partying."
"But what about you?" Brock asked. "I could stay here if you want some
company."
Mina shook her head. "Don't worry about me. I won't be alone though. I
have Jigglypuff, Nurse Joy and Chansey with me. I'll be okay. Please
go! I'm sure you don't want to miss this!" She babbled on nervously.
She hoped this excuse convinced her friends. A quiet time to herself
would clear her mind and ease the queasiness away inside her stomach.

"Okay," Her friends agreed reluctantly.

"Hey!" Ash exclaimed. "Why don't we let our pokémon stay with Mina so
she won't have to be alone then?"
"That's not a bad idea!" Brock remarked, took out five small pokéballs
from his pocket and threw them in the air. "Come on out!" He
exclaimed. Ash and Misty did the same.

"Guys, we have a favor to ask you." Ash announced to a group of
pokémon in front of him. "Do you mind if you could hang out with Mina
for awhile? She's the girl you met this morning." He asked, pointing
to Mina. She was smiling and waving to the pokémon.

All the pokémon nodded their heads in agreement.

"Evee.. (Mina? What kinda name is that?) Evee asked, smirking.

"Jiggly! Jigglypuff!! (Are you making fun of her?)" Jigglypuff asked
furiously, waving her fists in the air.

"It's okay, Jigglypuff," Mina said gently, patting her head.

"Did you say something Mina?" Ash questioned.

"Oh, I was just talking to Jigglypuff, don't mind me." She said.

Ash, Misty and Brock gave each other a puzzled glance.

"You can understand Jigglypuff?" Misty asked.

"O! Oh! What have I done?" She thought. "I...Yes... I can understand
Jigglypuff can't you?" She asked nervously.
"Not really," Ash replied. "I've known Pikachu in a long time so we
really understood each other really well."
"I...I..." Mina stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Ash, we better go!" Brock interrupted, saving Mina from explanation.
"We better go now or else it's gonna get crowded."

"Okay, Brock. Whatever you say!" Ash exclaimed. "Guys, be good to Mina
okay? Bye everyone!" He headed for the door.

"Take good care of Togepi will you Mina?" Misty asked as she handed
Togepi to Mina. "Are you sure you can handle a group of pokémon?
They're quite a handful."
"No problem! I can pretty much handle everything!" Mina said,
confidently. "I sure hope so!" She thought.

"Bye Togepi! Be good!" Misty said, patting Togepi on the head. "Thanks
for taking care of Togepi Mina. See you later!" Misty waved back as
she walked away.

"Chocki! Chocki! Pree!" Togepi said happily, waved goodbye to Misty.

"Thanks Brock," Mina said gratefully, leaning against the doorway.
"Have fun!"

"You're welcome!" Brock smiled at her, standing outside the hallway.
"I wish you could come with us. You haven't changed your mind have
you?"

Mina shook her head in response.

"Oh well, can't blame a guy for trying can you?" Brock said, grinning.
"Bye Mina!" He waved back and turned away.

Mina smiled to herself in spite of her depressing mood. She closed the
door behind her as soon as Brock disappeared from her sight. "So, guys
what do you feel like doing tonight?" She asked as she sat down on the
couch beside Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Togepi made cheerful noises while the rest of
the other pokémon blinked their eyes blankly at her.

"Well, this is gonna be some evening." She thought.

Psychduck's eyes began to close, still asleep from his nap. His body
began to sway back and forth. He crashed next to Vulpix, who in turn
collapse beside Squirtle. This continued as each pokémon crashed next
to each other like domino pieces.

The pokémon were piled next to each other and struggled to get up.
This resulted in a vigorous tickle fight. Sounds of laughter echoed
throughout the room.

"Evee...Evee...(Not fair! That's tickles!") Evee howled, his paw
kicking in the air. "Evee...Evee...(Please stop!)" Evee begged once
more, tears streamed down on his face.

"Bulbasaur! Bulba! (Tickle! Tickle! Do I hear someone begging for
more?" Bulbasaur taunted as he tickled Evee with his vine whip.

Mina giggled hysterically as she watched them on their tickle battle.
She felt more at ease and forgotten about her worries that bothered
her constantly.

Pikachu and Jigglypuff quietly observed Mina unnoticed and turned to
each other for their friends' happy mood. Then, a sudden idea hit
their heads like lightning and had a sly look on their faces.

"Hey! That tickles!" She exclaimed in surprise. She looked down to see
Jigglypuff and Pikachu in her lap with their hands placed on her
knees.

"Two could play at that game!" She declared. Her sneaky hands lightly
scratched their stomach. The two pokémon roared in laughter.

The room became silent again when everyone settled down to relax after
the stimulating tickle battle. Mina sighed as she stretched her legs
onto the floor and propped herself on one elbow. She moved Togepi
beside her and contentedly glanced around the room.

"You're so cute!" She exclaimed, stroking Squirtle's head gently who
was seating near beside her. "You're Squirtle right?" She asked.

"Squirtle! Squirt!" Squirtle nodded, putting on his cool back
sunglasses and made a thumbs up. She smiled back and gave a small
laugh.

Her eyes caught Pyschduck approaching her with his two hands on his
head.

"Oh you poor thing!" She said sympathetically. She sat up and placed
Togepi in her arms. "Are you in pain?"
"Psyc.."" Pyschduck nodded miserably.

"Headache, am I right? She guessed. Psychduck nodded his head again.

"Do you want me to get some medicine from Nurse Joy then?" She asked.

"Pikachu," Pikachu shook his head.

"Oh, why not?" She asked, looking confused. "Oh yes! I remember you're
a psychic pokémon. You're supposed to get headaches from what Brock
told me."

"Oh, could I see some of your powers then?" She asked excitedly, her
blue eyes twinkled.

"Psyc..yay...yay..."Pyschduck pleaded, shaking his head. His headache
pounded painfully and was about to burst.

"Maybe some other time then," She said grinning. A tiny sweat drop
appeared on her temples. "Maybe this will help." She bent down to kiss
Pyschduck's head. Pyschduck blushed and his headache vanished
completely.

Mina stood up and roamed around the rooms with her fingers pointing to
each pokémon as she passed by. She tried to remember all of their
names as she called them aloud. The pokémon were kind enough to
respond to her by nodding their heads.

"Let me see if I get this straight. " She paused, thinking thoroughly.
"Staryu and Squirtle are water type. Geodude and Onix are rock type.
Pigeotto and Zubat are flying type. Psychduck is a psychic type.
Pikachu is an electric type. Vulpix and Charizard are fire type.
While, Eevee and Jigglypuff are normal type. Bulbasaur is a plant
type. So, what makes Togepi then?" She wondered aloud as she held the
happy Togepi in the air.

The pokémon turned to each other with questioning look on their faces
and echoing the same thoughts in their minds. ("What's Togepi
anyway?") They asked themselves as they huddled closer. They talked
and argued among themselves.

Mina felt suddenly lonely without someone to talk to. She sighed and
settled on a rocking chair near the window. She placed Togepi on her
lap while Pikachu and Jigglypuff came to her and sat in front of her.
She smiled to them and stared through the window, quietly observing
the moon and stars shining brightly in the sky. She closed her eyes
for a moment and began to rock back and forth as her mind drifted
away...

* * *

"Brock, you're unbelievable!" Ash panted in exhaustion, shaking his
head.

"Well, this is just great!" Misty complained. "I thought we were gonna
be early for the Food Event so we won't miss anything. What gives?"
They were standing outside at the front entrance of the Pokémon
Centre. They came back from the Food Event and felt very tired from
running.

"Sorry guys," Brock apologized sincerely. "Look, why don't you give me
a few minutes to get my stuff ok?" He grinned sheepishly. "I wonder
how Mina is doing?" He thought worriedly. "Maybe it wasn't such a good
idea to leave her with the pokémon." He felt a bit guilty and decided
to check on her.

"Alright!" His friends answered grumpily. "But don't take to long!"

"I won't" He called back, stepping inside the automatic entrance door.
He smiled to Nurse Jenny and Chansey as he passed by their counter and
went towards sliding door. He whistled and strolled along the hallway
until he stopped six doors away.

As soon as he opened the door with an electronic key, Brock heard
Mina's angelic voice singing a sad song. He peeked inside and saw her
sitting on a rocking chair with all the pokémon surrounding her.

I waited all my life

For the day when love appears

Like a fairy tales from old

He will rescue me from my fears

Brock became entrance listening to Mina's singing. He stayed on his
spot, not moving a muscle.

And now suddenly he walks like in a dream

And how can I tell him what he means to me

My heart stills still stands- has he come?

Oh starry night

Tell me is he my own true love?

"I wonder who she's thinking of?" Brock thought after the song faded
into the background.

Mina opened her eyes and sighed deeply. Her eyes turned towards the
moon. "I wonder what's Brock doing right now?" She thought to herself.

"Huh? Where did that come from?" She jolted in surprise causing her
eyes to widened in amazement.

* * *

Sailor Pluto groaned and lifted her eyes opened. Blurry images passed
through her vision, shaking her head to clear them away. She stretched
her stiff arms until she touched a solid object. Her eyes widened in
shock to discover she was trapped inside a crystal.

"Sailor Venus!" She shouted. Her screamed echoed in the dark, eerie
abyss...

Mina woke up suddenly and was breathing heavily. "What was that?" She
asked herself, staring through the darkness of the room. She saw all
the pokémon sleeping peacefully around her with Onix's body enclosed
them.

She brought her hand up to her face and was startled to find her
cheeks streaked with odds tears as she examined her palms closer.

A cold air swept in the room. Mina shivered and wrapped her arms
around her legs to warm them. She put her head down and turned
sideways towards the window. A single tear rolled down on her right
cheek.
