Hi! I'm GabsGen, and welcome to the prologue of the rewrite of my first story, When We Meet Again, Will You Know How I Feel? ! There is no need to read the original, as I believe it sucks royally, but feel free to if you're really that curious. I won't bore you with them now, but my muses will sometimes be joining me for chats and question answering at the ends (and occasionally beginnings) of chapters. Maybe next time. Feel free to ask any questions, and I will do my best to reply via either review reply or PM in a timely fashion.

Update Schedule: I will do my best to update once a week, but please do not hold me to this. I will also NOT set a certain day, as it all depends on when I am able to get on and update.

Full Summary: Misty comes for a visit in Sinnoh, and tensions between her and a certain trainer from Pallet Town are rising. Will some old childhood friends known to none but Ash help things along? And what's going on with Team Galactic? One thing is for sure-it involves Legendaries, Aura, and the Chosen One…

Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except the plot and some characters that don't even show up for a couple chapters. Please enjoy!


Prologue

The morning of the day they were to arrive in Veilstone City, Ash Ketchum was up before sunrise, against all odds. He sat at the top of the hill watching the sunrise, a goofy smile on his face. 'Misty…' he thought, picturing the fiery redhead in his mind.

"Pikapi…?" came a groggy voice, startling Ash out of his thoughts. Ash's partner, Pikachu, came up to him and crawled onto his lap, seeking some extra warmth from the somewhat chilly morning. Ash smiled and started to pet Pikachu's back, welcoming the familiar and comforting weight.

"Hey, Buddy," he whispered, before slipping back into his thoughts of Misty. "Today we see her, Pikachu. We get to see Misty again."

"Pikachupi?" asked Pikachu, lifting his head to look Ash in the face, his ears perking up. Ash chuckled. After all this time, he could almost completely understand his best friend.

"Yes, Pikachu. Pikachupi." Pikachu's name for Misty felt foreign coming from his lips, yet weirdly familiar at the same time. He took out the pink and yellow handkerchief Misty had given him and looked at it fondly; lovingly. 'Misty…I wonder how much she's changed,' he thought, putting the handkerchief to his cheek. Sometimes he thought he caught a whiff of something indescribable, something unique, something that could only be known as Misty to his senses.

The sun had risen completely by this point. Hearing Brock wake up Dawn and start to make breakfast, Ash headed down the hill with Pikachu in his arms, surprising his friends with how early he was up.

In another place...

Quite far away, a figure covered in shadow smirked an evil smirk and began to laugh evilly. "The time is almost upon us!" he crowed, his closest and most loyal associates laughing along with him, even as a chill went down their backs at all the evil intent in the room…


Meh, I don't really like the end…oh, well. Looking back, I guess this prologue ISN'T longer than the original, like I previously thought. Again, oh, well. I know not much happened, but I tend to set the scene and describe what's going on both in and out of the characters' heads more than I do dialogue. I apologize for that. Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed, and I look forward to hearing from you! Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, and I'll be glad to answer any questions! Please review! Until next week, Gabs out!
