“Why?” Red asked.

Lance half smiled, as she kissed him, ignoring his question. Red pulled away and put his hands on his hips.

“Lance, tell me! What are you doing?”

“I’m sorry.” The Dragon Master said. “But it is much safer to keep you safe this way… otherwise, should word of this reach the other Elite Four, your life may be forfeit.”

Red stared at her, aghast, and he was dimly aware of his girlfriend pressing her fingertips to his temples. With a sigh, the Champion swooned.

She caught him carefully; her hands still glowing faint blue with Viridian’s Power. It was not a well-known ability, but since the power enabled one to read minds, sometimes… changes were necessary.

He would most likely forget all evidence of their relationship for a time, and perhaps, it would be enough time for her to put her plan into motion. And then? Well, the future waited.

She kissed the boy one last time and vanished.

Dissociation is when you are unable to reach a memory in your brain… the memory is there, but not accessible. (From Introductory Psychology, 7^th Edition by James Kalat)
