"Yeah!" Amy chirped in reply to Cid's question.
Amy moved closer to Cid's Pokemon, pointing at the first picture of the older boy, then at the other picture as she spoke.
"His name is Aaron, and his name is Arthur." She said, her eyes glazing over as memories flooded her mind.
"We were.. Like best friends." Amy said, absent-mindedly remembering many happy moments from when she was younger. There was one moment that stuck out from all the others, though.
~Teh Flashback~
A small, young girl of almost seven years ran through the darkening streets of Verdanturf Town. The sunset was casting eerie shadows everywhere; even her flowing pigtails of light brown hair looked a bit menacing in shadow form. No people were walking about. That is, except for the three older kids chasing her--two boys and one girl.
Looking around frantically for any escape, the girl, Amy, turned into an alley, knowing that it would lead to a dead-end, but hopeful that she'd find a hiding spot. Unfortnately for her, there was nothing in the slightly littered alley except for a lone dumpster, shoved into one corner.
"Not on my life.." Amy whispered to herself as she neared the dead end. Turning around, she found the three older kids closing in on her menacingly. The tallest of the bunch--a boy by the name of Trevor, glared down at Amy, taking step forward. His short jet black hair was all messed up, courtesy of all the fights he had gotten into that day.
"Alright kid, the jig is up! Give us that cupcake NOW!" He snarled, clenching his fists. The other two kids followed up with a glare, crossing their arms.
Only now do we notice the chocolate cupcake in Amy's trembling hands.
"N-No! You go buy your own!" Amy shrieked, backing up a few steps.
"RAAA-"
Trevor was cut off as a young boy, his dark brown hair in a mushroom style, charged into him. The bully was sent flying towards the dumpster, which he was smashed into. As he cried out in pain, the boy who was obviously Aaron took Amy by the forearm and pulled her away from the alley, shouting a simple "Come on!"
The other two bullies were too shocked to do or say anything..
Amy remembered that day quite well, the very day that Aaron had saved her from that bully.. Arthur was stuck at their home doing chores.. Or something.. Maybe she didn't remember it quite as well as she thought. But she knew that flashback to be true.
"But anyway.. When we left Verdanturf to go our seperate ways, they both set out to train only one type of Pokemon each. Aaron said he wanted to train only Psychic types, and Arthur said he wanted to train only.. Water types, I think." Amy concluded.
Mudkee didn't say anything. She had no memories of these people except for when all three of them had gone to Prof. Birch's lab.
Iron chose to remain silent as well.
