POKEMON DOES NOT BELONG TO ME! SORRY! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

PART 1
MISTY'S STORY

Prologue
Long ago, in a land far away, there was peace. There was no wars, no violence, just calm peace. One day, an evil being came from another land, further away then the first. It introduced evil to the people of our peaceful world. People were afraid of each other and nobody held any trust. There was a group of kids, not just ordinary kids, but special kids. They were named Misty, Daisy, Lilly, and Violet. These four girls were all sisters, and were the only ones left in the once peaceful world that held any kindness in their hearts. They all had special abilities, telekinesis almost, that could save the world, but nobody was willing to allow this. One horrible day these four girls were sealed up and blasted away, far away. So far that they went into the future...

In the future…
Daisy: What happened?
Daisy was the oldest of the foursome; she was smart, beautiful, and loved by many in her old world, before it turned evil.
Misty: I don't know, but whatever it is I don't like it.
Misty was the youngest, only 11. She was the "odd ball" of her sisters, definitely not the prettiest, and not very well liked. She didn't really get along with the other three in her Old World.
Violet: Look at that sign, over there it's us!
Violet had blue hair, and was beautiful like her sister Daisy. She pointed to a sign, it said. "Welcome the new gym leaders of the Cerulean Gym!"
Lilly: The Cerulean gym? It's as if they knew we were coming.
Lilly was the third youngest sister, and she had red hair.
Daisy: Let's go see.
As the group walked into the gym, they could all see it was an aquarium. In their Old World they had been water pokemon trainers of a similar type gym.
Lilly: Wow! This is awesome, even though we haven't been here; they seem to know us! We can just start back where we left off in the Old World!
As they walked further, Applause from three people came from the center of an arena.
Woman in the center: You must be Daisy, Misty, Lilly, and Violet, Correct?
Misty: Yea, who are you?
Woman: I am Cascade...You can call me Cassy. I will watch over you.
Daisy: Why do we need watching over?
Cassy: If you don't remember you're past world was destroyed. In a few years the same will happen to this world. That is why you have been sent here, to save it when this does happen.
Misty: But we couldn't save it last time!
Cassy: That was because we couldn't find you in time, the situation had gotten too horrible once we found you.
Lilly: We?
Cassy: The Inter-Time Corp you four were designated by the court to take care of these problems. We had a large warning about it this time and knew where you were.
Misty: So you're saying we can hang out until this "evil" thing comes back?
Cassy: Exactly.
Violet: Well when will that be?
Cassy: It could be 8 years from now for all we know. Your cover is that you will be the owners of the cerulean gym and those who beat you will receive the cascade badge.
Misty: You must think highly of yourself to name a badge after you.
Cassy: Yea, well you probably think highly about yourself for talking to me like that. For your information I have the power to send you back where you came from.
Misty: Sorry Miss.
Cassy: That's better. I will leave you now, if you need me, call me on the communicator that you will find in each of your rooms. There is an aquarium of pokemon for your use in the gym. Good luck. See you in a couple of years!
And with that she disappeared in thin air.
Misty: Okay that's nice.
Daisy: You guys ready to begin?


A Few weeks later...
Misty: (After another one of her many wins in the gym) I don't want to run the gym anymore, it's so boring!
Lilly: Well that's too bad.
Misty: I have a few years, I can go work on my pokemon trainer quest if I want.
Violet: Fine then, but don't come back empty handed!
Misty: I won't!
And she ran up to her room.
(Thinking) Yes! I can leave now! Hmmm…what'll I need? Well I'll take Staryu, Starmie, and Goldeen. A fishing pole, my bike, some food, change of clothes, stuff to wash my clothes, a sleeping bag, and some of this junk. That should be good enough. Well I'm on my way now!
She ran down stairs.
Misty: Well I'm going girls.
Daisy: You can't be serious. The little runt is going out all by herself.
Misty: grrrrrr!
Lilly: Fine then, but we better not see you till you're a pokemon master.
Violet: (Comes running down the steps) Misty! Don't forget our communicator. If the evil thing comes we'll need you back immediately!
Misty: Thanks Violet. See you in a few years...
And she walks off.

Later that day...
Misty was on her bike heading toward a lake. As she approached she parked her bike against a tree. Took her fishing pole out and sat down on the side of the lake, hoping to catch a few more pokemon. An hour went by...She still hadn't caught anything! Just as she was getting ready to pack up she got a tug at the line.
Misty: OOH! I Think I caught something!
She pulled and pulled, and finally, it came out of the water and flew over to one side. She looked at her catch. It was a boy about her age wearing a blue vest and a hat. He was soaking wet.
Misty: Oh it's just a kid, oh! And a pokemon!
It was a Pikachu, she rushed over to look at it but it was in really bad condition.
Misty: Are you okay?
Boy: I think so.
Misty: Not you! The pokémon! Is it breathing?
Boy: I think so.
Misty: We'll you've got to get it to the hospital right now! There's one just in town.
The boy got up and began to run.
Boy: They're coming!
Misty: Who's coming?
Before he answered he jumped on Misty's bike and began to drive it away.
Misty: Hey! That's my bike!
Boy: I'll pay you back someday!
And he rode off into the woods.
Misty: (Thinking) What am I gonna do now? I know! I'll go get my bike back.
She picked up all her stuff and headed down the road.

Later that Night
Misty was walking in the dark, searching for the boy who stole her bike. It was raining, there was a flash of lightning overhead.
Misty: (Thinking) Oh man, what am I supposed to do? Maybe I should just go home with those annoying sisters of mine. But they'll think I gave up, I'll keep going, oh but it's so lonely. I don't know.
She sat down next to a tree there was enough shelter to not get wet where she was sitting. She thought about what she should do for about five minutes then fell asleep.

The next morning
The next morning when she awoke, she could hear the call of a Dodrio, letting the world know it was morning. This world was very similar to the Old World. They had the same technology, people were the same, just more friendly, and the landscapes were the same too.
Misty: (Thinking) I wonder where my bike is, it could be anywhere.
She thought hard; didn't she have some kind of powers or something? She took out her communicator.
Misty: Cassy, come in!
Cassy: Hello, who is this?
Misty: Misty!
Cassy: Why aren't you at the gym?
Misty: It's a long story. I need you're help.
Cassy: What do you need?
Misty: Okay we have some kind of powers right?
Cassy: That is correct.
Misty: Well how do I use them?
Cassy: Okay…you can't use them until the evil is present in the world you are in. When it comes, you will be able to transform, and use the powers.
Misty: So they can't help me find my bike now?
Cassy: No, sorry.
Misty: Okay, thanks anyway.
Misty shut off the communicator.
Misty: Well this stinks! I have powers but I have to wait.
Just then out of the corner of her eye she saw something black in a green field. It was her bike! But her bike was red before! She ran over to it. It was totaled.
Misty: Could this day get any worse?
She picked up her bike and went into town. The boy from before was talking to a police officer. He got on her motorcycle and the two of them drove off.
Misty: Wait! Oh man! I bet they went to the pokémon center.

Later…At the Pokémon Center…
Misty came in and saw the boy finishing up on the telephone.
Misty: Hey you! You totally destroyed my bike!
Boy: I'm sorry, I'll pay you back, but…
Misty: No buts! I want my bike now…
Boy: My Pikachu…
Misty: Oh, is it bad.
The boy shook his head.
Misty: I'm Misty.
Boy: I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet town.
Misty: I'll let you slide this time Ash Ketchum, but as soon as your Pikachu is better I want my bike back.
Ash: Okay, I'll…I'll take care of it.
They both sat down in the lobby. Just then, Misty's communicator began to ring.
Misty: (Thinking) Oh no! He's gonna find out who I am!
Ash: What's that?
Misty: It must be some hospital thing. I'm gonna go get something to eat would you like something?
Ash: No thanks, I'm not hungry.
Misty walked out of the Hospital and sat down on a bench. She opened up her communicator.
Cassy: Misty?
Misty: Yes?
Cassy: That boy, his father has the evil gene.
Misty: Evil Gene?
Cassy: If the evil comes into the world his father will become one of the soldiers. You can tell if someone has the evil gene by taking the indicator on the back of your communicator and facing it towards them.
Misty: How many of these evil gene people are there?
Cassy: About 50.
Misty: Oh that's just great.
Cassy: But you can heal them if you take the indicator, flip inside out and say "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced."
Misty: That's almost too easy.
Cassy: I know…Are you going to be going back home?
Misty: I was thinking about it.
Cassy: Well I don't want you to. I want you to follow this Ash kid, and heal people along the way. That way when the evil force does come, you and your sisters will be able to defeat it all that more easily.
Misty: All right, but what is my excuse for following him?
Cassy: Isn't he the one who took your bike?
Misty: Oh okay! I get what you are saying!
Cassy: Well I better let you go, have fun, and remember, it may seem like we have a long time before the evil returns, but time will pass, and it will pass quickly. Bye!
And she disappeared from the screen. Misty went back into the lobby and sat down. She picked up the latest issue of Pokémaniac and began to read.

A Few Hours Later…
Nurse Joy came out of the emergency room. Ash ran to his Pikachu.
Nurse Joy: Everything will be okay now. It's good you got it in when you did, or else it would have been a lot worse off.
Ash picked up his Pikachu and hugged it.
Ash: Are you ready to go now buddy?
Misty: I'm coming with you!
Ash: Why?
Misty: Because you owe me a bike!
Ash: I told you I'd pay you back someday!
They ran out of the pokémon center and towards Viridian forest. While they were in the forest, Ash caught a Caterpie and Pidgeotto. Caterpie evolved into Metapod the same day. The next day, the duo came up on a Weedle. Ash decided he was going to catch it. Misty was afraid of bugs, so she ran ahead. A strange jumped at her with a sword. Misty screamed from fright.
Kid: I am Samurai, are you by chance the trainer who hails from pallet?
Misty: No.
Samurai: Alas, my search will continue.
And he walked away.
Misty: Strange kid. Why would he want a trainer from…? Ah! That's Ash!
Misty got up and ran toward Ash catching his Weedle. As she approached the kid was talking to Ash.
Misty: Ash! Look out!
She took out her indicator and pointed it at the boy. Just as she had suspected, Samurai was one from the evil gene. She turned the indicator inside out.
Misty: Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced.
Before Ash had a chance to see. The boy glowed for instant. The evil was gone.
Misty: One down, 49 to go.
Just then the communicator began to ring.
Misty whipped her self around, took the communicator out.
Misty: Is there some quieter way to get my attention?
Cassy: I could always give you a little electric shock.
Misty: Okay the noise is fine then.
Cassy: Okay, here's the deal. I didn't make this clear before, but you don't actually have to say the words out loud, you can just think them if you'd prefer, then people won't think your talking to yourself.
Misty: That helps, thanks.
Cassy: Your welcome.
And she hung up.

A Few Weeks Later
Misty and her new friend Ash were on their way to Pewter City for Ash to earn his first badge there. Misty still hadn't told Ash that she once had worked as a gym leader at Cerulean Gym, but there was no need to. If she did, she risked giving away any information about her mission. To Ash, Misty was a regular 11-year-old girl who had an attitude problem. Misty wasn't to fond of Ash herself, but she had to stick with him to meet his father and get the evil gene dismissed.
Ash: Do you know anything about the gym leader here?
Misty: No, Sorry.
They came up on the big gym, it looked rather old and ratty, but it was good enough. They entered through the door and a young man stood up.
Boy: Who goes there?
Ash: I am Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and I have come to challenge you for my badge.
Boy: Okay Ash, I am Brock, you will battle me 1-1 for the boulder badge. I call Onix!
Ash: Pikachu, go!
Misty: Ash! Electric is weak against rock type pokémon!
She grabbed her mouth.
Misty: (Thinking) Whoops, why did I say that? I can't let him know how much I know about pokémon. I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Ash: Shut up Misty! I can handle this.
Misty: Oh Ash! You are so stubborn!
Luckily Ash didn't hear this comment; instead, he was ready to battle. In one bind attack Pikachu lost.
Brock: Better luck next time!

Later that Afternoon
Ash and Misty were having lunch at a restaurant.
Misty: (Thinking) He'll never win with his Pikachu. He needs a water pokémon, I have three, he could always borrow one, and then he'd be sure to win.
Just then the waiter came over. He looked at Misty, something wasn't right with this guy.
Waiter: Can I take your order?
Misty: I'll have the deluxe sushi meal with a side of rice, some soup and a salad
Ash: (Whispering) Misty, If you want me to pay for this, you're gonna have to cut back a little bit, I only have 15 dollars.
Misty: Sorry, I'll have sushi and rice.
Ash: I'll have the same.
The waiter turned around, and headed the other way.
Misty: Something's fishy with that guy.
Ash: What do you mean?
Misty: Oh nothing. Sorry to change the subject but about your match today.
Ash: I'm going back and I'm gonna win this time!
Misty: Yea, okay, but you'd be better off using one of my water pokémon, there a lot stronger against Onix than your Pikachu.
Ash: I don't need your help.
Just then Misty's communicator began to ring.
Misty: (Thinking) Oh no! What am I gonna do?
Misty: Fine then! I'm leaving!
She said as she headed out the door.
Ash: Wait! Your food!
Misty ran as fast as she could until she was outside.
Misty: What do you want?
Cassy: That waiter of yours has the evil gene!
Misty: How do you know?
Cassy: Because when you turned your communicator around, it went of here at the station.
Misty: What do I do?
Cassy: Go back in there, and eat lunch. Hold the indicator the whole time, and when he comes back say the words in your head.
Misty: But now Ash is gonna think I'm a freak!
Cassy: Oh well! Go back in there now! Good bye!
And she signed off.
Misty turned around and went back into the restaurant.
Ash: What did I do?
Misty: Nothing, forget it.
Ash: Okay
Ash: (thinking) why does she hate me so much? I didn't do anything to her, except maybe tease her about Caterpie the other day, but that doesn't count. Boy she is difficult!
Just then the waiter came back. Misty held the indicator pointing toward the waiter, but out of site. She thought the words in her head.
Misty: (Thinking) Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced.
In a split second the waiter glowed green and then was back to normal.
Ash: (Thinking) Am I going crazy? It looked like that guy just glowed! Maybe I'm just angry with Misty, oh well, Lunch is here, then I can battle for my badge. Maybe I'll loose her a long the way.
Misty: Phew, 2 down, 48 to go.
Ash: What was that supposed to mean 2 down 48 to go?
Misty: (Looking at the bill, beginning to panic) Oh, it's a tax term, I'll pay the tax and tip on our meal.
Misty laid five dollars on the table and got up to leave. She completely forgot about her food.
Ash: Wait your food!
But Misty was too far off to hear.
Ash: She is a strange one that Misty.
Waiter: That'll be 15 dollars please.

Back at the Gym…

Ash went in to battle, after getting some help from a mysterious man. The battle began. Half way through the battle, Ash's charged up Pikachu started a fire using a very strong electric bolt! The fire caused the water sprinklers to go off.
Misty: Ash! Rock pokémon are week against water pokémon! Now is your change to finish it off!
Ash all of a sudden had a rush of guilt come over him; it didn't seem fair for him to win by a fluke.
Ash: I forfeit.
He turned and walked out of the gym.
Misty: Great, as soon as he has a change he decides to be a nice guy.
Brock chased after Ash and Misty followed. They came outside near a cliff.
Brock: Ash, wait!
Ash: What?
Brock: You forgot this!
He held out a boulder badge for Ash.
Ash: For me?
Brock: You deserve it.
Later that night
Ash and Misty were getting ready to get going on the road. Just then Brock came up to them.
Brock: Hey you two, do you mind if I tag along? My dad said it would be okay if I came with you guys.
Misty: Sure!
Ash: It'll be great having someone I can finally talk to!
Misty was hurt by this comment, wasn't she a person to talk to?
Misty: Well if I'm so horrible, why don't I just leave!
Ash: I know! I've been waiting for you to leave!
Misty: uh, fine!
Ash and Brock began to walk off. Misty thought, Cassy will kill me if I don't follow them. Then she remembered her excuse.
Misty: I'm not leaving until you pay me back for that bike Ash Ketchum!
Ash: I know I know!
He wouldn't admit it to Brock or Misty, but he was glad she was coming, she was growing to be one of his friends, and hopefully Brock would too.

A few weeks later
Brock turned out to be a really good chef. He would cook meals for the trio.
Misty: So Brock what are we having for dinner tonight?
Brock: Rice balls and soup.
Ash: We have that every night Misty, you'd think you'd learn by now!
Misty: Well, I thought we'd have something different.
Ash: Well you thought wrong!
Brock: Would you two please knock it off?
Misty: Sorry Brock.
Little did they know but a strange girl was watching them.

After Dinner
Ash: That was delicious Brock.
Misty: Food always makes me tired.
Brock: Well it is almost ten, we should probably hit the sack about now.
Everyone got out their sleeping bags and set them up around the fire. The girl was still watching. Misty could feel a strange presence but didn't quite know what it meant.
Ash: Look at the stars you guys!
Misty looked up, there were millions of them, and they were beautiful!
Misty: Wow Ash they're beautiful!
Brock: Yea, wouldn't it be nice if they were always like that?
Misty: They are.
Ash: Well they weren't last night.
Misty: That's because we were in the city. You can see more when your out in the woods, the light from the city blocks out the lights for the stars.
Brock: Wow misty you know a lot.
Misty: I took astronomy in school a really, really, long time ago.
Ash: It couldn't be that long ago, you're only 10.
Misty: 11, and yes, it could be that long ago.
Ash: How?
Then Misty caught herself, she couldn't say it was hundreds of years ago, far away that she took astronomy.
Misty: I'm just being difficult, that's all.
Ash: Goodnight Brock, Goodnight Pikachu, and Goodnight Misty.
Brock: Goodnight Ash, don't let the bedbugs bite.
Misty: Goodnight Ash, sweet dreams.
The strange girl walked away.
Girl: I'll just get them in the morning!
The next morning Misty woke up. Her eyes were blurry but she could make out a figure by the fire. She rubbed her eyes it was Brock. She got up and walked over.
Misty: Up I early as usual?
Brock: I wanted to make you guys some breakfast.
Misty: Wow! We haven't had a real breakfast in ages!
Brock: I know, but we probably won't be having lunch if that's okay.
Misty: (Shouting) it's great!
Brock: Shush…Ash and Pikachu are still asleep.
Misty looked over and saw Pikachu's ears perking up.
Misty: Whoops, sorry.
Out in the woods, the strange girl was waking up.
Girl: I'll get them now! It's time for a match!
She jumped out of the bushes. Misty jumped and screamed. Brock didn't see this.
Brock: I thought I told you to shut up!
Misty: Who are you?
Brock: What kind of stupid question is that?
Misty: Not you! Her!
She pointed to the strange girl. She was much taller than herself, and unfortunately much more pretty. She had long blonde hair, much like Daisy, and had a blue jacket on.
Brock: Nice to meet you misses!
Girl: That's Janet to you!
Brock: She's beautiful!
Misty: Snap out of it!
Something was fishy about this girl, but Misty couldn't put her finger on it.
Janet: I am here for a pokémon battle.
Just then Ash sat up for sleeping.
Ash: Did I hear someone say pokémon battle?
Misty: Ash! I thought you were asleep.
Ash: I was, but whom in their right mind would sleep through a pokémon match?
Misty: He'll never change.
Ash: Pikachu go!
Janet: Horsea go!
Ash: A Horsea huh? Pikachu thunder attack!
And Horsea was out like a light.
Janet: Horsea return! Squirtle go!
Ash: A Squirtle, awesome! Pikachu, thunder shock!
Squirtle was out like a light.
Janet: Wow that was fast.
Ash: That's just because I had an advantage.
Misty: He's right, water pokémon are week against electric pokémon.
Janet: While I better go now, farewell.
She walked away.
Just then Misty got a shock. She fell over.
Ash: Misty! Are you okay?
Misty: I'm fine!
She stood back up.
Brock: What was that?
Misty: I just (she had to think fast) fell over that rock.
Ash: Oh.
Misty: Oh I think I dropped one of my pokeballs over there, I better go get it.
Brock: Okay, but hurry back were gonna start on breakfast.
Misty ran to her right and through some trees, there was a clearing on the other side.
She pulled out her communicator. Cassy was on the line.
Misty: What did you do that for?
Cassy: I thought you didn't like the noise.
Misty: I don't! But I liked being shocked just about as much!
Cassy: Well then, we'll compromise, It can vibrate next time.
Misty: That sounds good. Boy these deals gets better and better!
Cassy: Back to the matter at hand, do you realize what you just did?
Misty: No, what?
Cassy: You let another evil gene person escape.
Misty: I did?
Cassy: Yes you did, now go track her down. Since you can't seem to handle it that much, I'll give you another power. The indicator will blink now when you're in the area of someone, good bye.
Misty: I have one last question. Why didn't you give me these powers before?
Cassy: Because we thought you could handle it, but I am beginning to doubt you were the right person, I think I'll give your sisters the change to get some people too. Good bye now Misty!
And Cassy signed off. Misty ran down through a path and when she came out she was right in front of Janet.
Misty: (speaking out loud for effect) Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced!
Janet began to glow for a split second. Then she was back to normal. Misty ran the other way before she was spotted. She thought to herself "3 down, only 47 to go! Boy that's a lot!" She came back into the camp area, rather out of breath. Ash and Brock had packed up all their stuff and were beginning on Misty's.
Misty: Don't touch my stuff!
Brock: We were just trying to speed things up.
Ash: Yea, think you could have taken any longer?
Misty: Well for your information I was saving the world from (Just then her indicator began to blink)
Ash: What's that Misty?
Misty: What's what?
Brock: That blinking thing.
Misty: Oh darn, my pokémon needs to get to a pokémon center.
Ash: Since when does a pokéball blink when it needs to go to a pokémon center.
Misty: It's my Starmie, It begins to blink when its energy is low.
Brock: Oh okay, I remember that now.
Misty: I have some energy stuff in my backpack. I'll go give it to it.
She ran off into the woods.
Ash: Gee, you'd think she'd get bored with the woods eventually. She spends enough time in there!
Misty took out her indicator. It had stopped. Could Brock be the one with the Gene? Or maybe even Ash!
She held the indicator in her hand. She walked back over to Brock and held it out to him. It was positive. She then flipped it inside out and thought "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" Brock began to glow for a split second, and then returned back to normal.
Misty: I knew it couldn't be Ash.
She walked over to her stuff that Ash was putting away.
Misty: I can do it myself!
Ash: Sorry! I was just trying to help!
Misty's indicator began to blink again. Could Ash really have the evil gene? Then she remembered what Cassy had told her. His father had the gene; maybe Ash had inherited it. She held the indicator out toward Ash and the same thing happened. Quickly she turned the other way, flipped it inside out, and thought "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" Ash began to glow for a second, and returned back to normal. Ash was stunned. What had just happened?
Ash: Misty?
Misty: What? (She was facing the other way trying to get her communicator and indicator put away as fast as possible)
Ash: Did you see that?
Misty: What?
Ash: Oh never mind, I'm just going crazy.
Then Misty thought, Could Ash have realized something happened? Nah, Brock didn't notice a thing. Even if Ash did, it doesn't matter, he's on our side now. And now we've only got 45 more left! Maybe my sisters are getting some right now. Then she sat down and ate breakfast.

After Breakfast
Ash: So where is the next place I can get my badge?
Brock: Cerulean City is right down this road.
Misty: Cerulean City?
Ash: Cool! I can't wait!
Misty: Why don't we go over this way? There's a nice picnic place and a hill where you can watch the sunset!
Ash: Let's go!
Misty: Really?
Ash: To Cerulean City!
Misty: I'm not going!
Ash: Why not?
Misty: Because there's . . . umm . . . all scary ghost pokémon.
Ash: Oh well, let's go Pikachu and Brock!
The three walked off Misty stayed behind. She thought "If I go back, then my sisters will yell at me and make fun of me for coming back so soon. Then again it's almost been a month and a half. Maybe I should go, no! I can't! Hey, I could find out how many evil genes they got! I'll go.

Meanwhile
Ash and Brock were approaching the gates for Cerulean City. They sat down on a bench.
Brock: Something is different.
Ash: Yea, Misty's not following us anymore, I wonder why she didn't want to come here. Oh well, we'll catch up with her later. You were a gym leader Brock, do you have any info about the gym here?
Brock: I don't know the trainer but I do know his pokémon type.
Ash: Cool! What is it?
Brock: Sorry, I can't tell you, sort of a respect for other gym leaders.
Ash: Oh well, let's go.
Brock: I gotta go do some stuff. I'll meet you out side of the gym later tonight.
Ash: Okay, bye.
Ash went looking for the gym and he soon approached it.
He walked up to the doors and went in, there was a water show going on. He thought, Where is the gym?
He started walking through the rest of the building. It was like an aquarium, just then three girls, came walking out.
Daisy: Wow that was a great dive violet!
Violet: Thanks, that practice really paid off.
Ash: Can you help me?
Violet: Sorry we don't do autographs kid.
Ash: No, I'm looking for the gym leaders.
Daisy: Well you're looking at them!

Later in the gym
Ash: I challenge you to a pokémon match.
Daisy: Um . . . We can't really battle right now.
Ash: Huh?
Lilly: Yea, all our pokémon are at the pokémon center.
Little did Ash know but Violet was using her indicator to see if Ash had the evil gene.
Violet: It's fine.
Ash: What's fine?
Violet: Oh . . . um . . . We have a Goldeen if you want to battle that.
Daisy: I know what you want, you want this. The cascade badge. Here take it.
Ash: Thanks but I'd rather earn my badges.
Just then Misty appeared out of nowhere.
Misty: If you won't battle him Daisy then I will.
Ash: Misty?
Daisy: Well if it isn't Misty.
Violet: The too good for being a leader twerp.
Lilly: So our little sister has become a big pokémon master already?
Ash: Misty? You're their sister? Wha . . .?
Misty: Yea Ash. I'm the fourth gym leader here. And I'm only here because he wanted to come!
Daisy: Oh Misty, he's not someone I'd pick for a boyfriend, but then again you're not much of a pick either.
Ash began to turn red.
Misty: Boyfriend? No! If I battle him, it'll prove I'm a great trainer, and becoming better more and more!
Ash: I don't think . . .
Misty: Ash stay out of this!
Daisy: All right then, but I have to talk to you first!
Misty: Fine.
Daisy and Misty went off in the other room while Violet and Lilly lead Ash to the arena.
Misty: What do you want?
Daisy: Have you gotten any evil gene people yet?
Misty: Yea, five.
Daisy: Okay, I've gotten three, Lilly got one, and Violet five, that makes . . . five plus three plus one plus five makes fourteen.
Misty: Wow we only have 36 left.
Daisy: Great! Ready for your battle?
Misty: Sure am.
Daisy: So . . . do you like him?
Misty: No! Now stop it okay?
Daisy: Okay . . .

In the gym
Misty: Are you ready to rumble Ash?
Ash: Uh . . .
Misty: I call Staryu!
Ash: Well I call Butterfree!
Misty's Staryu used an underwater attack that knocked Butterfree in the water. It was done. Misty sent out Starmie next while Ash sent out Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto knocked out Starmie. And it was a tie. The battle never ended though, because Team rocket crashed in. They weren't very successful in capturing Pikachu though so they were on their way.
Ash: Oh well, I guess we didn't get to finish our match.
Misty: Oh man! I was winning too.
Daisy: I give you this badge Ash.
Ash: Thanks,
Just then Brock appeared.
Ash: Hey Brocko!
Misty: Well we better be going.
Daisy gave Misty a little hug.
Daisy: We'll miss you little sis.
Misty: Well I have to see you in less than eight years, if you know what I mean.
Violet: Don't forget about our little plan, okay?
Misty: I won't.
Ash: Plan?
Misty: You wouldn't get it.
Brock: Sis?
Ash: I'll explain it later Brock.
They all headed into the slowly coming dusk.

A Few Weeks Later
The trio had become very good friends. Misty was getting worried she hadn't got any evil gene people since the day she found out Ash and Brock were them. Today would be the day she would ask Ash about his father, maybe Ash could help her to get some more evil gene people.
Brock: Ash! Misty! Dinner should be ready in about ten minutes, get all the pokémon ready!
Ash: Oh they're fine, just let them be.
Misty: Ash?
Ash: What?
Misty: I have to ask you a question.
Ash was getting worried; Misty was never this serious!
Ash: Is everything okay Misty?
Misty: Oh yea, everything's fine, but I have a question.
Ash: Well go ahead.
Misty: Who is your father?
Ash: You want the truth?
Misty: What do you think? Of coarse I want the truth!
Ash: I don't know.
Misty: What?
Ash: I mean I don't know. My mom always talks about him, but I never actually got to see him. I mean when I was two or three was the last time I saw him, and I don't remember back then.
Misty: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Ash: What about your parents?
Misty: I don't know, let me think.
Misty closed her eyes; she remembered her old home, the way it was peaceful. She remembered her mother's sweet voice, when she was scared at night, how she was there to comfort her. The delicious meals she used to cook. How wonderful it was. Then she remembered her father. A stern but a loving man. That's probably where she got her bossiness. She remembered when he used to come home from work, she's run to him and sit on his lap and he'd tell her a grand old story, he had a million of them. Then she remembered the horrible day they were separated. The week the evil came. She was sitting waiting for her father to come home one day and he didn't, her mother became worried, they went out to look for him. They found him being held hostage. They too were held hostage. They were hit and made to work. Her parents were killed, and the children were turned over to a home. Misty and her other sisters were sweet, and therefore disliked among the many. They were forced into a rocket and blasted away, into the future that was why she was here today. Misty became so overwhelmed by all this she began to cry.
Ash: That's awful Misty.
Misty thought. How did Ash know what she had been thinking?
Misty: You know what happened?
Ash: What do you mean "you know what happened?" of coarse I do, you just told me.
Misty realized this must be one of her powers. She must have telepathically told Ash what happened. Cassy had said her powers would grow stronger, the closer the evil got. This made Misty even more worried and she began to cry harder. What she thought Ash would know now, unless she could control it.
Throughout dinner Misty was silent, here and there, there would be a sniffle. What was she going to do? She had to call Cassy. She got up, and walked into the woods.
Brock: What's wrong with her.
Ash: It's complicated.
She pulled out her communicator.
Misty: Cassy, come in!
Cassy: What is it Misty?
Misty: I don't know what to do. (And she started crying again)
Cassy: What's wrong?
Misty explained the whole thing about telepathically talking to people. Now she couldn't follow Ash to find his father because he didn't even know who his father was.
Cassy: Misty, here's what you will do. First off, forget about your parents, we'll take care of that problem later. Secondly, we don't know Ash's father either, but since Ash was carrying the gene, we knew his father had passed it onto him. Third of all, you can control the telepathic thing by saying "I don't know let me think" then the other person you are talking to will be able to hear what your thinking, and assume your speaking to them. So be careful of your word choice. I know you've grown fond of your friends, you know eventually you will have to return to the gym and assume your position of defending the Earth, but as of now, enjoy being with them, and you can stop bugging Ash about the bike now.
Misty: Well what's my excuse now?
Cassy: You like them, they're your best friends, what other excuse do you need?
Misty: Thanks, you're a lifesaver Cassy.
Cassy: Anytime, and wipe those tears off your face, okay! Bye!
Misty: Bye
And they logged off. Misty went back to the place where Ash and Brock were sitting. She took a seat next to Pikachu and Ash; Pikachu jumped up into her lap.
Pikachu: Pika-pi Pikachu!
Ash: Pikachu say's it hopes your feeling a little better.
Misty: thanks Pikachu, I feel much better now.
Ash: What do you want to do know?
Misty: I don't know let me think.
She began to think. I wish I could tell them about everything. It's so confusing now, but thanks to Cassy everything is all better.
Ash: Who is Cassy?
Brock: What are you talking about Ash?
Misty: Cassy! Oh! (She realized what she had said before) What are you talking about?
Ash: You just said thanks to Cassy everything is all better.
Misty: Shoot! Um, I was talking about my old best friend, she like you know, um told me a story about oh my gosh!
Brock: What is it?
Misty: Nothing, um, since we're done who is gonna do the dishes?
Brock: I'll do them.
And Brock walked off.
Ash: What the heck is going on Misty? There's all of this weird stuff happening?
Misty: Okay you know before when I told you about the whole past thing?
Ash: Yea, I'm so confused about this all.
Misty: Ash, (She let out a deep breath) here I go…I was an agent sent here from the past, the story I told you before was how I got sent into the future, or here. I am supposed to use this communicator (She show's him the communicator) to talk with Cassy, my boss. My sisters are also agents, I have no parents, other then the ones in my little vision. My little vision was me telepathically explaining to you what happened, even though I didn't mean for that to happen. Sometime in the next eight years, the evil from my vision will arrive here, and destroy us all, unless my sisters and me can defeat it. There are fifty people whom have a thing called "the evil gene" and when the evil force returns those people will become their warriors. You and Brock were ones yourself, that is why that one day you probably had the strange sensation of glowing, I was clearing you of the gene with this (takes out the indicator) the blinking that it has is when there is someone nearby with the evil gene. Your father has the gene, which was why I asked you who he is. As of now we only have 36 more to find, unless my sisters have gotten some more. Does that make any sense?
Ash: Woah! And this is all true?
Misty: Yep, but you can't tell anyone, not even Brock or Pikachu.
Ash: Why not?
Misty: Because, I shouldn't have even told you, but all this weird stuff is happening, I'm starting to get magic powers now.
Ash: Woah, back up, magic powers?
Misty: Yea, the telepathic thing. And there is more on the way until the evil force comes and I transform completely and have total powers.
Ash: Okay, this is a lot at one time!
Misty: I know, you okay?
Ash: I'm fine.
Misty: About the powers, I'm gonna need your help to hide them, if you see me make a mistake, you've gotta stop me, okay.
Ash: Okay, I'll try.
Just then Brock came back.
Brock: Okay dishes are done. You ready to hit the sack?
Misty: I guess.
Ash: Sure.
Brock: What's wrong guys?
Ash: Nothing, I just got a lot on my mind.
Misty: Me too, my stupid family situation, you don't want to know, I stayed here and explained it to poor Ash, and now he's confused by it, right Ash?
Ash: Yea, oh well, I'll get over it.
They all got their sleeping bags and sat around the fire. Pikachu went up to Ash who gave it its little sleeping bag with electric bolts.
Pikachu: Pikachu, pika pikachuuupi pikapikachu! (Poor girl, she was sad today, maybe I'll make her feel better if I give her company. Is that okay Ash?)
Ash: Sure Pikachu.
Pikachu dragged its sleeping bag next to Misty and said something unintelligible.
Misty: Hello Pikachu. Time for bed, and she patted it on the head. Good night and sweet dreams Pikachu.
Brock: Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Ash: See you all in the morning!

Later that night
Misty woke with a startle. She sat up, She looked to either side of her, and everyone was there. Pikachu was still right next to her, and sleeping like a baby. What had made her wake up so suddenly?
She looked over to her backpack. Her indicator was blinking. What was happening! She quietly grabbed the indicator and took it over to Brock it stopped blinking. She took it over to Ash, still nothing.
Why was it blinking then? She went back to sleep.
A few minutes later Ash woke up, the indicator was blinking. He went over to it. Misty will be really angry if I touch her stuff, oh well. He went over to the indicator and picked it up. He heard snoring, but it wasn't coming from Pikachu, Brock, or Misty, it was in the woods. He slipped his hoes on and headed into the woods. It was dark and scary.
Ash: Hello out there? Is there any evil gene people out there?
He looked next to him, there was a big man sitting there. He recognized him as Harry, from Pallet Town. Harry had recently been convicted of robbery of the homes in Pallet. Three innocent kids had been sent to jail instead of him. When they found out what had happened, the kids broke out, and Harry was later placed in jail. But why was he here? Then the indicator started going crazy.
He ran back to the place where the others were sleeping. What should he do? If he woke up Brock, then Misty's secret would be told. He went over to Misty.
Ash: Misty, wake up!
She didn't budge.
Ash: Misty, come on! Get up.
Misty: Wake me up later!
She rolled over and went back to sleep.
Ash: Misty, get up now!
He shook her, and she sat up, and looked around.
Misty: Wha . . .? Huh? Why did you?
Ash: Shush, you'll wake up Brock.
Then Misty noticed the indicator in his hand.
Misty: Why did you take the indicator?
Ash: (Whispering) it was blinking, I took it over there in the woods, and there's a guy I know named Harry over there. It started going crazy when I saw him.
Misty: I'll take care of this.
She flipped the indicator inside out. And said out loud but whispering. Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced. Harry began to glow and then quickly returned to his original state.
Ash: That was awesome!
Misty: Uh huh, now we've got 15 down, only 35 left! I've gotta call my sisters and let them know.
Ash: Ooh! Can I see how the communicator works?
Misty: Sure, but lets get away from here, so we don't wake up Harry, or Brock and Pikachu.
Little did they know but at the sound of it's name, Pikachu sat up and looked around.
Pikachu: Pikachu? (Where's Misty?)
It looked over to where it's Master slept.
Pikachu: Pika! (Ash is gone too!)
It woke up Brock.
Brock: Pikachu, go back to sleep, I'm not in the mood to get up and play now.
Brock went back to sleep.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pi Pikachu! (It's no use, he can just sleep. I'll find them myself!)
Then little Pikachu scurried off in the opposite direction of where Misty and Ash were.
Misty took out her communicator.
Misty: Cassy, come in!
Cassy: Hello Misty! (She gasped) What is he doing there?
Misty: I explained everything to him.
Cassy: Misty, I need to talk to you alone.
Ash: That's okay I'll go back to the campsite, I just wanted to se how the communicator worked. It's awesome!
Ash ran back to the campsite.
Cassy: Why did you tell?
Misty: I had too, remember what I was saying before?
Cassy: Yea.
Misty: Well I wasn't thinking about what I said and accidentally telepathically said a bunch of junk. I had no way to explain myself, so I just told him everything.
Cassy: Okay, I'll let it slide this time, but if my boss finds out, I'm toast.
Misty: I'll tell him to be quiet, okay.
Cassy: All right, I'm glad you called me anyway, I have a new power for you.
Misty: Ooh! What is it?
Cassy: You can freeze time for up to five minutes. Say you want to talk to someone and you don't want anyone to know what you're talking about. You can hold tour hands out to the side and say "Let all be still" and then everything will freeze. All you have to do to talk to someone is touch him or her. Then you can talk for up to five minutes. One restriction though, after you freeze time none of your other powers will work for an hour. You will be pure mortal again.
Misty: Okay, cool! I like this one. Will I get more?
Cassy: As the evil gets closer you will. It seems like it may be a little early on schedule because you're getting powers so rapidly, normally it wouldn't be for another year that you would be able to freeze time.
Misty: Okay that's fine, just as long as they don't come tomorrow.
Cassy: I can assure you they won't. Oh I have to go.
Misty: Before you go can you hook me up to my sisters?
Cassy: Sure.
The line went dead; it would be another 5 minutes or so before they would get to her. Just then Ash came running back.
Ash: Pikachu is gone!
Misty: What?
Ash: It's not there!
Just then Pikachu came up behind them.
Pikachu: Pika pi! Pikachu! (I found you!)
Ash: Yes you did Pikachu, congratulations.
Misty: I still can't get over how you guys can understand each other.
Ash: Neither can I.
Just then the communicator rang. It was Misty's sisters.
Misty: Why don't you take Pikachu back to the site.
Ash: It's okay, it's already asleep.
Pikachu was sleeping on Ash's shoulder.
Daisy: What do you want Misty?
Then she spotted Ash.
Daisy: Misty! You are so messed up, Ash is right there watching.
Misty: You think I don't know that?
Ash: Yea, I know about everything anyway.
Daisy: You told!
Misty: I had to!
Daisy: Fine, what do you want?
Misty: I got another one, how many did you guys get?
Daisy: Just 1, Lilly got 2 and violet went out searching, she hasn't been here for three days, so we don't know what she's up to.
Misty: Why don't you call her on the communicator?
Daisy: Because she left it here. But she said she'd be back in less then a week, hopefully she got a bunch!
Misty: Yea, so lets see, 35 minus three, we've got 33 left!
Daisy: Wow, we're really making progress.
Misty: Oh look, the sun's coming up. That means Brock will be awake soon, gotta go Daisy, good luck, and let me know how Violet does.
Daisy: I will, bye little sister.
Misty: Bye.
They hung up the communicator and then walked back to the campsite. Misty sat up and began to cook breakfast.
Ash: You're going to cook breakfast?
Misty: Yea, Brock always does, so I'll take a turn.
Ash: good luck.
He let his pokémon out of their pokeballs and they began to play tag. Only Pikachu slept.
Ash thought, wow, everything is so strange, and Brock doesn't even have a clue. Why would Misty pick to tell me? I thought she hated me. As he thought his eyelids grew heavy and soon he drifted off into sleep.
Misty meanwhile was cooking away; not that she knew how to cook. She put an egg in a frying pan. Then she looked over at Ash's pokémon, then over at Ash. He fell asleep! Nobody was watching his pokémon! Oh well, they were well behaved, they should be fine on there own. Then she looked back over at the egg it caught on fire! What was she gonna do?
Misty: Squirtle! Come here! Put out that fire now!
Squirtle did as it was told, and everything was back to normal.
Misty: Thanks Squirtle you're a lifesaver. I guess I won't be making breakfast after all.
Squirtle went over to Ash and jumped up onto its lap.
Squirtle: Squirtle, Squirtle!
Ash woke up.
Ash: Hey Squirtle, how are you?
Brock woke up and smelled the burnt egg.
Brock: What happened here?
Misty: Um, I tried to cook you guys breakfast, but it didn't really work.
Brock: Oh that's okay, what are you guys doing up so early?
Misty: I couldn't sleep, and Ash was already awake, he was playing with his pokémon.
Brock: Oh okay.
Brock decided it would be better if he cooked breakfast, and they ate it and enjoyed it a lot. The rest of the day was team Rocket free, and pleasant.

Two Months Later
Ash had earned the thunder badge from Lt. Surge, gotten a new Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. Misty had gotten a new Horsea, and Brock will still down on his luck with girls. The trio was headed toward Maidens Peak, on a boat from Puerta Vista.
As they approached, Misty noticed the rock that stood on Maidens Peak. There is a legend that 2 thousand years ago, there was a maiden, her boyfriend went to war, and she waited on a rock until he returned, but he never did. She stayed there until she turned onto stone, and still remains there.
Brock became depressed; they were going to a festival that marked the end of summer. He didn't want summer to end.
Misty and Ash were more excited. Cassy had recently talked to Misty and explained to her that there would be five people at the festival with the evil gene. Since the day they had gotten Harry, there was no genes found. Violet had returned with 3 down later that week, and they were the last three that have been for a two months. So Misty naturally was excited to have a chance to get down to 25, that would leave her and her sisters only half of the evil genes.
As they boarded off the ship, Misty saw a man with a long beard and a staff. He looked out of place.
Brock: Ooh! Look at that girl!
Misty: What girl?
Brock said nothing but ran off.
Ash: Okay, I don't think he'll ever change!
Misty: (Whispering) See that guy over there?
Ash: The ugly one with the staff?
Misty: You're so pleasant, yes, the "ugly" one with the staff. I think he's our next dude.
Ash: Dude? Since when did you start talking like that?
Misty: What does it matter? We have to go over there now!
They walked over to the man.
Man: Hello I am Simon, how may I help you?
Misty: I was wondering where I could find a bathroom?
Simon: (His eyes glowed with fire) Over there.
He pointed to a big sign right behind them that said, "Restroom Located to your left".
Misty: Oh, how silly of me.
Then she dropped her bag on the floor.
Ash: Think you're a big enough klutz?
Misty secretly handed Ash the indicator, it was blinking.
Ash: Yep, okay well we better get going.
Misty: There was something I wanted to ask you sir, I don't know let me think.
(Telepathically she began to explain to Ash what to do) First turn your back while I create a side thing, then flip it inside out, quickly turn back and put it in my hand.
Misty: Oh I forgot, oh well, oh your shoe is untied, sir.
The man bent over to tie his shoe, just as Ash spun around. Misty said the words in her head "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced". As usual the man glowed and was back to normal.
Simon: What were you saying miss?
Misty: Oh never mind, I forgot, thanks for your help.
As they walked off Ash and Misty gave each other high five, 31 down, 29 to go!
Just then they saw Brock; he was sitting by the water edge, looking out onto the sea.
Ash: What's wrong buddy?
Brock: Nothing, it's just that girl disappeared.
Ash: Oh well, it was probably just your imagination.
Brock: Probably.
Misty: Let's go to the pokémon center and make sure our place to stay is secure.
Ash: It'll be nice not having to sleep outside for a while.
Brock: Yea, but only for two nights, the final part of the festival where they send out the boats is tomorrow night.
Misty: Have you been here before?
Brock: Yea, when I was real small, my mother, father, and I, before all my other brothers and sisters were born.
Ash: That must have been nice.
Brock: It was.
Then they headed off to the pokémon center.

After they were settled in at the pokémon center . . .
The trio decided to go to visit the Rock at the top of maiden's peak. When they got there, there was a young girl about five years in age sitting with a Charmander. She had fire in her eyes, as they walked past her, she told her Charmander to do a flame-thrower at them, but it missed.
Misty: That's her!
Brock: What do you mean that's her?
Ash had to think quickly.
Ash: Nothing, I think Misty's loosing it, let's get out of here before she starts her lecture.
He pushed Brock away, and went along with him.
Misty: This will only take a second.
She took out her indicator, which was blinking, and flipped it inside out. She got ready to say the words, but the little girl was gone!
Misty: Darn! What do I do now?
Then she heard a little laugh, from behind the tree, the girl thought it was a game! Misty pointed the indicator at the tree and sneaked around the back where she had a perfect view, "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" she said, the girl did the glowy thing and was back to normal.
Misty: Phew! That was close!
She understood that due to the evil gene, the little girl was evil at the time of trying to use the flame-thrower, so she decided against one of her lectures. Misty ran back to Ash and Brock. Just three more of the five left! She was so excited.
It was beginning to get dark. Brock wanted to stay with the rock, but Misty and Ash wanted to leave and have fun at the festival, tomorrow night was the last night, and the fair portion would be over by then.
Brock: You two go ahead, I'll be fine here.
Ash: Are you sure?
Brock: I'm sure.
Misty: You know where to meet us right?
Brock: Yea, the pokémon center in town, I'll be there before curfew, don't worry.
Ash: Okay then, see you.
And Ash, Misty, and Pikachu all went to the fair. There was lot's of rides, and games and stuff. Pikachu saw a game it really liked and you could win a stuffed teddy bear. All you had to do was knock over three bottles of ketchup with a ball and you would win. Ash went over it the man running the station.
Ash: I'll take three balls please.
Man: That'll be 75 cents.
Just then Misty saw a glow in the man's eye. It was the evil gene. This would be easy to get because Brock wasn't around. She took out the indicator and held it out to the man. "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" She said, the glowing happened, and he was back to normal. Ash threw the first ball; it was a bad shot. He threw the second; again it was a bad shot. The third shot however was great! He threw the ball and it knocked over all the Ketchup bottles.
Man: So which bear would you like.
Ash: Pikachu, it's your bear, you pick.
Pikachu pointed, but the man didn't know which one he was talking about.
Man: Why don't you jump over here and show me?
Pikachu jumped over the counter and landed on the floor, he pointed to a ketchup bottle.
Man: You want a ketchup bottle?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pikachu! (Yes please!)
Ash: He said "yes please"
Man: Well then here you go.
Pikachu got its ketchup bottle and then the trio was headed to the next place. They had a great time that night, no more evil genes came up, but that was okay, they were only half way done their mini-vacation and were more than half way done the evil genes!

Back at the pokémon center
Ash and Misty came in. There was a place nurse joy had set up cots so that our friends could have a nice place to sleep. Ash and misty were unpacking their stuff and getting ready for bed, when the clock rang "Curfew time! Curfew time! Curfew time!"
Ash and Misty looked at each other worriedly.
Both: Where's Brock?
Misty: He said he'd be here.
Ash: I'm going to look for him.
Nurse Joy grabbed him on the shoulder.
Joy: I'm sorry, you can't go. You need your sleep! If you don't get enough you'll be cranky in the morning!
Ash knew there was no way he could get out, the nurse even had a locked door that kept them in.
Misty: I guess we'll just have to wait until the morning.

The Next Morning
Ash and Misty left first thing to go look for Brock. They came to where they were the night before. Jessie was there looking for someone too. Her and Meowth were looking for James. Just then, James and Brock were thrown out of a nearby little house. They were acting strange. An old woman came up on them.
Woman: They must have seen the ghost of the maiden.
All: Ghost of the maiden?
Misty: You mean the girl trapped in the rock?
Woman: Exactly. The only way you can heal them, is if you wait until the maiden returns tonight and scare her away,
Ash: How are we supposed to do that?
Woman: You can use stickers, but you must pay me.
Ash: Okay, we'll do anything to get Brock back.
Ash bought the stickers from the old woman and he and Misty began to put them all over the little shack.
Misty: Ash, do you think that these will really work?
Ash: I don't know but it's worth a try.
Ash and Misty took Brock to the fair for the rest of the day. It was no fun because Brock was so weird.

Later That Night
Our friends, along with Team Rocket, were sitting in the hut waiting for the ghost. The maidens ghost appeared in front of them
James: I'm scared, I'm really, really scared!
James and Brock were sucked up into the Maidens drift out into the night over the sea. Jessie took a big gun and shot at the ghost, it went right through her! Then something terrifying happened, the ghost sent out a flash and lots of scary skulls appeared in front of them. Misty was terrified. She grabbed onto Ash and hid behind him. Ash took out his pokédex.
Dexter: No pokémon data found.
Ash then got worried.
Ash: The . . . the . . . there not pokémon?
Everyone sent out there pokémon but there was no hope. Any attack was immediately messed up. Then, all of a sudden light came out. The ghastly began to fade away.
Ghastly: I will return next year, remember the spirit of the maiden!
Ash: Wow that was weird!
Misty looked over and she saw a sign.
"The Festival. Day 1; Go to the fair, there will be a movie at night. Day 2; the fair closes at 5 p.m. There will be a show at night! Day 3; closing festivities, There will be a banquet at night.
Misty: I thought that last night was the closing ceremonies.
Ash: Me too.
Brock: No last night the fair closed, for most people that's the end, but today in my opinion is the best day. We can go to all the neat shops, and at night we send boats out on water, and then there's an awesome banquet.
Ash: Cool!
Misty: Let's go get some breakfast, I'm starved.
Brock: That's a good idea.
Misty had lost a whole day in finding the evil gene people; she got a lucky break having the festival be a day longer!
Now that Brock was back to normal, the day would be more fun. They went to the Art museum and saw lots of pictures of the maiden. They had lunch at the pokémon center, and then went to a store. Misty was getting worried; she hadn't found anyone with the evil gene yet! The store had some wonderful suits, dresses, and kimonos.
Brock: Why don't you get something, Misty?
Misty: Nah, I'm not a dress wearing person.
Ash: Well, why don't we all get something for the banquet tonight?
Misty: Okay that sounds good. You guys can go over to men's, I'll stay over here.
Brock: Okay, let's go Ash.
Just then a girl came out of the dressing room, she was probably in her 30's or so. She looked mean, Misty thought; she must carry the gene. She took out her indicator, and sure enough, it was blinking. She pointed it at the woman and said "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" you know the rest.
Just then the woman came over to her.
Woman: Is your name Misty?
Misty: Yea, who are you?
Woman: I'm Mrs. Ketchum.
Misty: Your Ash's mom?
Mrs. Ketchum: Yea, I've heard a lot about you in Ash's letters.
Misty: Ash's letters? I didn't know he wrote letters.
Mrs. Ketchum: Sure he does, see look at this.
She reached in her pocket and pulled out a picture. She showed it to Misty. The picture was of her, Ash, Brock, and Pikachu at the St. Anne.
Mrs. Ketchum: He sent this to me after he told me what had happened to you guys.
Misty: Oh, it wasn't that bad.
Mrs. Ketchum: So what are you doing here?
Misty: We're picking out Kimonos for tonight's banquet.
Mrs. Ketchum: Ash is here?
Misty: Sure, he's over in men's wear.
Mrs. Ketchum: Thank you, it was very nice meeting you!
And she ran over to men's wear to visit her son. Misty found the perfect kimono, it was pink, which was a little too girly, but she could live with it. Then she thought how weird is it that she met Ash's mom there? And she had the evil gene! Maybe Ash's Father didn't have the gene all along; maybe it was his mom all along! She had to call Cassy. She got on her communicator and called.
Misty: Hi Cassy!
Cassy: Hi, oh I just got a new power for you.
Misty: Ooh what is it?
Cassy: You can give a small amount of amnesia to people so they can forget selected things.
Misty: Awesome!
Cassy: That means you could delete Ash's memory of the whole thing.
Misty: I don't know if I want to do that.
Cassy: That's okay, why did you call me?
Misty: Are you sure that it wasn't Ash's mom that had the gene?
Cassy: I don't know let me check through my files.
Cassy checked through her files, and sure enough Misty was right.
Cassy: Wow, don't tell my boss about this okay?
Misty: I won't. Can you give me some more info about this memory thing?
Cassy: Sure.
Cassy explained while back in men's wear Mrs. Ketchum had just ran up to her son.
Ash: Mom! What are you doing here?
Mrs. Ketchum: I was just going to ask you the same thing!
Brock: Hi, I'm Brock.
Mrs. Ketchum: Nice to meet you.
Ash: Oh, you have to meet Misty too, she's over in ladies wear.
Mrs. Ketchum: Oh I did, very nice girl there Ash.
Ash: You don't know her, she can be a pain sometimes!
Brock: You can say that again.
Ash: Well, we were just picking out some kimonos for tonight's banquet.
Mrs. Ketchum: Oh, well I won't be here then, I just was stopping off here on my way to Puerta Vista for a job interview. I really better be going honey.
Ash: Cool! Well, I'll talk to you later mom, love you.
He gave his mom a hug and they parted. Misty watched the whole thing. Ash sure had a nice mom, she wished she could see her mom again. A tear rolled down her cheek, what was she doing? Misty didn't cry, only once had Ash seen her cry, and that was excusable, it wouldn't ever happen again.
Ash saw Misty over in ladies wear.
Ash: Misty, find anything good?
Misty: Yea, I guess it's kinda girly but oh well, they don't have much in the way of kimonos.
Brock: I found a cool green one, and Ash found a cool blue one.
Misty: Mine's pink with red flowers and junk.
Ash: Okay, well let's go pay.
Misty: Pay? Uh oh, I left my wallet at the pokémon center.
Ash: Me too!
Brock: I'll pay for you guys, but you have to pay me back as soon as we get back okay?
Both: Okay.
They paid and went back to the pokémon center where Ash and Misty paid Brock back. By now it was about five o'clock.
Brock: Why don't we get dressed and get ready to go.
Ash: Okay, you wanna use the bathroom to get changed first?
Brock: Sure.
Brock went into the lone bathroom to change before the other two. Once he was safely out of ear shot . . .
Misty: Ash, you know, your mom had the evil gene.
Ash: She did?
Misty: At first I didn't even know it was her. I guess Cassy sent her here so that I could get my fourth person. Now I just need one more, I'm expecting them at the banquet.
Ash: That sounds reasonable.
Misty: I hate this kimono, I'm gonna look silly in it.
Ash: Oh well, you always look silly!
Misty: Oh! You can be so annoying!
Just then Brock came out.
Brock: How do I look?
He spun around like a model in a show.
Ash: Very nice.
They began to clap for him.
Misty: I guess you're next.
Ash went into the bathroom to change.
Misty: So what kind of food are they going to have at this banquet?
Brock: I don't really remember, it was so long ago when I was here last, they could have changed it.
Misty: Oh well.
Then Ash came out; he was wearing a blue kimono.
Brock: Very nice!
Ash: Thank you, thank you!
He said as he bowed!
Misty went in and changed. After she was dressed she looked at herself in the mirror.
Misty: I look stupid, I can't wear this! Boy am I gonna hear it from them when I go out there.
She took her ponytail out.
Misty: That's better.
She opened the door, and walked out.
Misty: Do not say anything! I know it's awful! Let's just get this over with.
She walked ahead of them.
Ash: Wow!
Brock: What?
Ash: She looks great!
Brock: Yea.
They followed Misty to the banquet. When they got there they were seated at a table with seven other people. Misty looked each one of them in the eye. None of them had the fire. Darn! Maybe she had missed them earlier. She would just have to scan the place.
Across from the table there was a girl. If you know Brock, then you know how he can be.
Brock: Hi, I'm Brock!
Girl: I'm Kathy.
Misty: Brock, don't even start.
They ordered their meals. Everyone began to chat. It turned out that Kathy was 12, just like Brock. She also wanted to be a pokémon breeder. Her friend Haley wanted to be a pokémon master, just like Ash, and their other friend Kent was the leader of a gym in another league that our trio never heard of. The other four at the table held their own conversations.
Their meals came about 15 minutes later.
Misty: This looks delicious.
She looked at the waiter's eyes, no fire. Where could the person be hiding? She looked at her indicator it wasn't blinking. She figured that if she got up and looked around she'd have a better shot at getting them. Misty leaned over to Ash.
Misty: (Whispering) There's no use waiting here, I'll never find anyone, I've got to get up and look around.
Ash: (Whispering) Okay, that's fine, just don't go for too long, everyone might get suspicious.
Misty: (To everyone) I need to use the restroom, I'll be back in a minute.
She got up and headed toward the restroom that would be her first place to look. She opened the door. There was lot's of ladies in there! She stood at a sink and looked to either side of her in the mirror, there was nobody with the fire in their eyes! They all began to leave slowly, until Misty was the only one left.
Misty: Darn! I'll never find them!
Just then another woman came in. She stood staring at her. Then all of a sudden, her eyes began to flare! She grew taller and green in color. Misty was terrified.
Misty: Cassy never said anything about these kinds of things happening.
She shut her eyes and thought. She took out her indicator, flipped it inside out and said "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" Nothing happened! Oh my gosh! Misty thought, What could she do, then it came to her, she could freeze time. The Monster lunged at her She held her hands out to her side and said "Let all be still" and the monster froze in mid-air.
Misty ran out of the bathroom as fast as she could, everything around her was frozen. Misty ran up to her table. She touched Ash on the back and he turned around.
Ash: Misty, what's going on?
Misty: I can't explain right now, come with me!
She grabbed his arm and pulled him all the way to the girls' bathroom.
Ash: I don't think so.
Misty didn't give him a chance to stop she pulled him right in the door. There they saw the monster hanging in mid-air.
Ash: What the heck happened here?
Misty: I said I'd explain later, we only have a few minutes, she won't go back to normal, I need you to use your pokémon to battle her.
Ash: This should be a synch, Bulbasaur I choose you!
Bulbasaur: Bulb, bulb, (Why are you waking me up now?)
Ash: Sorry, but you have to battle this monster!
Bulbasaur: Bulb, bulb, Bulbasaur! (You mean Misty?)
Ash started laughing.
Ash: No, no, behind you!
Bulbasaur turned around.
Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur (Oh that's easy)
Bulbasaur used vine whip against the old hag and she fell to the ground.
Ash: There you go Misty, now do your healing thing!
Misty: Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced
Nothing happened.
Ash: What's wrong?
Misty: I don't know, let me think.
Misty (thinking) Gosh, what did I do wrong? I did everything Cassy told me, I'm such a failure at this job, I only had to get five measly people and my job was done. I can't believe this! I only have two minutes left, Oh no! My powers! They're gone!
Ash: Misty? Hello? What's wrong?
Misty: There gone Ash, what am I going to do?
Ash: What's gone?
Misty: My powers, I won't have them for another hour cause I froze time.
Ash: Okay, well then we'll have to wait an hour.
Misty: Maybe you can do it?
Ash: Do what?
Misty: Heal her!
Ash: How could I do that?
Misty: You had the gene, so your connected to the evil force, you may be able to heal her.
Ash: I can try.
Misty handed the in-side-out indicator to Ash.
Ash: I know what to say, I've heard you many times already. Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced.
The woman began to glow; she turned back into her regular body form, and fell to the ground.
Ash: Told you it'd be a synch!
Misty: Wow! This is awesome!
Ash: Whatever, lets go back before the diner gets cold.
Ash went back to his seat while Misty waited behind a pillar so that she wouldn't appear in thin air. Ash began to eat his food. Just then time unfroze. The once silent banquet hall became noisy with the sound of silver, plates, and chatter.
Misty came back and sat down.
Brock: Girls always take so long in the bathrooms.
Ash: I know!
Misty: Ha, ha, very funny.
After dinner, the group decided it would be fun to stay for the closing festivities. There would first be a launching of the boats into the ocean. They walked over to the shore side, and each got a boat. Ash lit the candle to his boat and sat it on the water. Misty used the flame from Ash's boat to light her own, and Brock the same with Misty's. They watched the boats leave the harbor slowly.
Misty: They're so beautiful.
Kathy: I know.
Haley: It almost makes you wish that you were a spirit out on one of those boats.
Brock: I like to think that my mother is on one of those boats.
Ash: What do you mean?
Brock: My mother is dead.
Ash: Oh, I'm sorry.
Misty: I understand what Brock is saying, it makes me think my parents could be on one of them too.
Ash: Well, if they are, there being taken care of, and there going to a better place.
Misty: Thanks Ash.
Brock: Yea, thanks.
They went back to the dining hall; all the tables were removed. People had begun to mingle around, and music was starting. The musicians were the infamous team Rock, for one, doing something nice.
Ash sat with Pikachu watching the stars beginning to come out.
Misty walked over to him.
Misty: Come on Ash, let's dance.
Ash had never realized how pretty Misty could be if she really wanted to. Pikachu loved it too!
Pikachu: Pika Pika! (I love her dress!)
Ash: Me too Pikachu.
Misty: Come on! You too Pikachu!
The went out and danced with everyone. Brock had a camera. He took a picture of his new friends Kathy, Haley, and Brent. Then when Ash and Misty weren't looking, he took a picture of them too. They hit him and took the camera away. Misty threw it and Haley caught it. She took a picture of Misty, Ash and Brock, the three best of friends. It was then Misty realized she had the best friends in the entire world, and would always be with them.

A Few Months Later
Here's what happened in the past few months . . . Ash gave away his Butterfree, he earned the Marsh Badge from Sabrina and is Rainbow Badge from Erika. He captured a Primeape and a Muk, but gave Primeape away to a man. Brock had gotten a new Vulpix from a girl named Susie. Misty got a Psyduck, and thought she lost Ash in a bad accident, but he miraculously came back to life. There were no more evil genes since the scary monster at Maidens Peak. We now join them, lost in the woods, trying to find Fuchsia City, where Ash could earn his sixth badge.
Misty: It's entirely your fault we're lost Ash!
Ash: You're the one said to come this way!
Misty: So! You're the one who listened to me!
Brock: Wouldn't you two much rather get along?
Both: No!
Misty: But out!
Ash: Yea!
Brock: Hey, hey, don't start on me, if there's gonna be a fight, just let it be between you two.
Misty: Thank you Brock! We're never going to get out of here Ash!
Ash: Shut up Misty!
Misty: Fine, I will then!
Ash: Thank you!
Brock: They never stop do they Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika, Pikachu, Pika, Pi. (It's cause they like each other)
Ash: Shut up Pikachu!
Misty: What did it say?
Ash: You don't wanna know.
Brock looked at Pikachu, he knew what it said, and they both began to laugh.
Ash: Let's just go!
They all headed toward a clearing in the woods. When they came out you could see a huge mansion.
Ash: Awesome! What's that?
Misty: It looks like an old mansion!
Brock: Let's go see if they can tell us where we are.
After about an hour of walking and listening to Ash and Misty bicker, Brock knocked on the door. Miraculously the door opened by itself.
Brock: I guess we can go in.
They walked in and were greeted by a Venonat. It ran away and they began to chase it.
Misty: This place is weird.
Ash: Weird like spooky you don't like it, or like weird, weird?
Misty: I don't know, let me think.
Just then Misty telepathically told Ash . . . It's weird like there's somebody here with the gene, I think I can feel when they are around, it's weird I know I keep saying that but it's the only word I can think of, it's like tingling in your back and stuff.
Ash: Oh.
Misty: Get it?
Brock: What the heck are you two talking about?
Ash: I do not know.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pika, Pi (You two just like each other!)
Ash: Pikachu, would you just shut up?
Misty: You shut up Ash, Pikachu didn't do anything!
Ash: Ha, Ha, you don't know what it just said!
Brock: Nobody knows what it says except you Ash!
Ash: I know, oh some of the things it says.
Just then an electric bolt shocked Ash.
Ash: Pikachu! What did you do that for?
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu Pika pi! (I didn't do anything)
Ash: Well if you didn't then who?
Just then a Voltorb appeared in front of them.
Ash: Ah! A Voltorb! Run!
They all ran the other way, Ash in the front. He slammed into something and fell to the ground.
Misty: Ash! What happened?
But Ash didn't say anything; he was lying on the ground.
Brock: I think it's an invisible wall!
Misty: Invisible wall?
She bent over and helped Ash get up.
Misty: This place is creeping me out, we should get going.
They turned around and walked the other way. There was another wall that Ash crashed into and fell to the ground.
Brock: We're trapped!
Ash stood up; there was a will with a window high up. He grabbed on and pulled himself up. Then slowly the wall began to tilt outward, then with a large jolt it fell out, and there was a hole right in the middle of the wall, overlooking a Cliffside. Ash had fallen through and own to the bottom.
Misty and Brock rushed over to see if they could see Ash, but he was nowhere in site.
Brock: Oh no!
Misty: Not Ash!
She began to cry.
Ash: Hey guys! I'm not dead! Hurry and help me up!
He was hanging from the window frame. A few minutes later Misty and Brock had pulled their friend up.
Brock: That was a close one.
Ash: You're telling me.
Then Venonat reappeared. Ash ran towards it but crashed into another collapsible wall. This one spun rather then fell out. Brock and Misty were close behind. When they got to the other side there was an evil Monster standing there. Staring them in the eyes. Brock the wimp fainted. Misty panicked, it had the fire in its eyes, and it was going to get Ash! Wind started forming and it was hard to hear anything. She ripped out her indicator and held it to the monster, she screamed as loud as she could . . . "Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" Everything went dead silent. Instantly the monster was healed and a girl in a neon pink suit stood in front of them. Brock woke up.
Brock: What happened?
Misty: You ran into that door and fell over unconscious.
Brock: Oh, figures.
That was one more down! Now there was just twenty-four more to go!
It turned out that the mansion was the Fuchsia City Gym, Ash battled and earned his Soul Badge.

A few Months Later
Ash and Misty were really disappointed because they hadn't gotten an evil gene carrier in ages. Neither had her sisters. She had talked to Cassy who said that it was possible that the evil force would come earlier than expected, but they were unsure how soon that would be. So our friends weren't all that happy. Misty got a new Togepi. They also had encountered a few friends along the way. A young photographer named Todd had traveled with them for about a week and a half, and then he went into the mountains to learn more about pokémon. Ash had earned his Volcano badge while they stayed at Cinnabar Island. They were going to go back to Viridian City, the place where Ash and Misty had met in the beginning. As we join them, they are approaching Cerulean City.
Ash: Misty, isn't this your town?
Misty: Yes, unfortunately.
Brock: Why do you say that?
Misty: Because I have to see my sisters.
Brock: What's wrong with that? They're very nice.
Misty: To you, but to me, well let's put it this way, I'm not a pokémon master yet, so I mine as well not come home.
Ash: You'll never be a pokémon master, so you'll have to go back sometime and face them.
Misty: I'm the one who won't be a master? I'm not the one who gives away all my pokémon! At least my pokémon obey me!
Ash had a Charizard that wouldn't obey Ash unless it felt it's opponent worthy.
Ash: So?
He realized Misty was right. He had talked to Professor Oak who had said that if he didn't start catching more pokémon then he would never have a chance. He pulled his hat over his eyes to hide his embarrassment.
Brock: Couldn't you just be nice to him?
Misty: He started it!
Brock: I give up.
They approached the gym and went in.

NOTE: I know that in the series Misty was a Mermaid, but I need a reason for there to be an evil gene, and I can't think of an original way with the ballet, so this is not like the show . . .

Daisy: Hello guys!
Violet: So are you a master yet Misty?
Misty: Not to my knowledge.
Lilly: Well we're glad to have to back.
Daisy: Yea, well we have lots of rooms you guys can stay in.
Misty: Is my room still there?
Lilly: Exactly the way you left it.
Misty picked up her backpack and ran up to her room. That was her favorite place in the whole world. She opened the door. It was a wonderful site. The ceiling was a dome view to the Aquarium. The walls were all blue. There were posters and pictures of stuff all over the walls. There was one blank spot on the wall that she noticed. "I wonder how long that's been there," she thought. She had to cover it up. She opened up her backpack. She pulled out a little box. She sat on her soft bed. It felt nice to sit on a real bed. She hadn't sat on one of those in ages. She would have to wash out her sleeping bag for when they went back on the road. Any way, she slowly opened up the box. Inside there were a few pictures. The first one was of her mother and father. Not even her sisters knew she had this one. There was a pile of picture frames from when she last was there. She sat them on her bed. Took out the picture of he mother and father and out it in the first frame. The next picture was of her and her sisters. Boy did she miss the times when they got along. Deep down she knew it was her fault though. She tended to be rather aggressive and start a lot of fights. Then she took the next picture. It was a picture of Brock, Ash, Pikachu, and her at Maidens Peak. Just then there was a knock at the door.
Misty: Come in.
Daisy: Hey, what's wrong?
Misty: What do you mean?
Daisy: You seem upset.
Misty: I don't know, I guess it's just, well, I was talking to Cassy and she said the evil force might come sooner.
Daisy: I know.
Misty: I just don't know if we'll be ready.
Daisy: Yea, I know how you feel.
Daisy saw the photo in Misty's hand.
Daisy: What's that?
Misty handed her the photo.
Misty: That's a picture of us at Maidens Peak, it was really fun.
Daisy: Wow! You really fix up nice if you want to.
Misty: I'll take that as a compliment.
Daisy noticed another picture stuck to it in the back. She pulled it apart. The picture was of her little sister and Ash.
Daisy: Well, well, well,
Misty: What? Let me see.
Misty took the picture in her hands.
Misty: Um, that wasn't supposed to be a picture, stupid Brock took that when we weren't looking.
Daisy: So do you like him?
Misty: No! Leave me alone.
Daisy: Whatever, I'll go, we're going to have company over tonight, so wear something decent okay?
Misty didn't reply, Daisy left letting the door shut behind her.
Misty took the four photos and put them in frames, then hung them on her wall. "That's better," she thought.

Later at Dinner
Misty was sitting at the dinner table. There was something weird about the people eating dinner here. She didn't really like them. She didn't see her indicator blinking though so they didn't have the gene. The people there were there new neighbors, Tom and Ann Lynch. Ann was due to have a baby soon, and she was rather big. Misty didn't dare say anything though, she knew that would be unbelievably rude. Daisy had cooked a wonderful Lobster. Although Misty didn't usually eat lobster, this was an exception.
Misty sat at the table silently. She wondered why she felt so funny about Ann and Tom? They were really nice people; she just couldn't understand it. After dinner they had desert, it was a lovely chocolate cake made by the one and only chef Brock. After all the dishes were cleaned up, they all went out into the sitting room for some tea.
Ash: Are you okay Misty?
Misty: I'm fine.
Ash: Sorry, I was just asking.
Ash went as far away as possible over by Brock. What was Misty's problem? Oh well, why should he care.
Daisy: So I hear you two used to run a gym.
Tom: Yes, at Miken Island. My younger brother and Sister took over it.
Lilly: That's great, we love running the gym here, it's been a year and a half since we took it over now.
Ann: That's nice.
Just then there was a loud scream.
Misty: Did you hear that?
Daisy: Hear what?
Misty: That scream (it came again) There, it just did it again.
Lilly: Are you okay Misty? I don't here anything.
Misty: Are you people deaf?
It went again only longer this time, and more loud.
Misty: Oh my gosh! Who could that be?
Everyone looked at each other uncomfortably. Obviously Misty was the only one who heard it.
Misty: C'mon, don't tell me you didn't hear it that time,
Ash: Maybe you should go upstairs and lay down Misty.
Misty: Shut up Ash, I know what I heard.
Ash stood up and walked over to her. She looked funny.
Ash: Misty there' s something not right, you . . .
Misty: There it is again, come on you guys you can't be that oblivious. We have to help whoever that is!
Daisy: Misty, Calm down.
She went over to her too. She looked at her in the eyes. There was something definitely wrong.
Daisy: We're going to take you upstairs.
Daisy took Misty by the shoulders and pushed her toward the steps. Ash followed. Soon they reached Misty's bedroom. They walked in. Misty and Daisy sat on her bed. Ash sat over in a chair by the closet.
Misty: It's getting quieter.
Daisy: Misty, what's getting quieter? What's wrong with you.
Misty: It's Ann, there's something wrong. I heard screaming coming from her.
Ash: Misty, you're really spooking me out.
Daisy: Me too.
Misty couldn't take it anymore. She began to cry.
Misty: What is wrong with you people? I heard what I heard.
Ash: Maybe we should get a doctor.
Daisy: I don't know, this may not be something they can help out with.
Ash: Well what's wrong with her?
Misty: I'm right here! The question is what's wrong with you.
All of a sudden Misty stopped crying, she sat up strait and listened.
Ash: What?
Misty: It's coming . . .
Daisy: What's coming?
Just then Ann walked in the door.
Misty: That.
Daisy: I think we need to talk to you Ann.
Ann: Me too. It's me Misty.
Misty: I know.
Ann: The baby, there's something wrong. You're the first person other than me to hear it, the screaming.
Misty: It's the gene.
Ann: I know.
Ash: What?
Ann: I know about the evil gene. The baby has it, but I don't know what to do.
Misty: I do.
She took out the indicator, flipped it inside out and said, Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced. Just then the screaming stopped.
Misty: All better. Okay, you can't remember this, okay?
Ann: What do you mean?
Misty: Come here.
Ann came over to Misty; Misty sat her hand on Ann's shoulder. She began to mutter some words. Just then Ann began to stare into space.
Misty: You never heard the baby scream. You came up here to see how I was doing; I just had a sharp ringing in my head, that was what was wrong when everyone asks. Go down and forget.
Misty clapped her hands and Ann walked out of the room.
Daisy: Since when could you do that?
Misty: um, months. Haven't you gotten any powers?
Daisy: No.
Misty: oh, well, never mind then, guess what? 23 left!
Ash: Weird, but well done.
Daisy: Yea, I just hope . . .
Misty and Daisy bean talking, Ash's attention was moved elsewhere. He turned around and saw the wall behind him. There were four pictures. One with two adults he had never seen before, but they looked really familiar. Then one of Misty and her sisters, they looked much younger though. Then he saw one from Maidens Peak, him, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu. He thought it was unbelievable Misty still had that one. Then underneath it there was a smaller one. It was just he and Misty. Why did she have this one? I thought she said she threw it away sometime ago.
Daisy: . . . I guess you're right. Well I better go downstairs and see my guests off.
Misty: I'll be right down.
Daisy left, Misty walked over to her Mirror, forgetting Ash was still in the room. She pulled her hair tie out. That's better.
Ash: Misty.
Misty jumped.
Misty: Ash! I didn't know you we're still in here!
Ash: Well I am, what's this picture doing here?
Misty: Um, I thought it was cool.
Ash: Okay, but you said you threw it away.
Misty: I thought I did, but I found it stuck to another picture today.
Ash: Right.
Misty: I did! Get out of my room, I never invited you in here anyway!
Ash: For you're information, you we're acting possessed and I was worried, so there! I'll leave! You . . . you, I'll think of something later.
And he ran out of the room.
Misty: Sorry.
But it was too late for Ash to hear.
She thought, why would he be worried about me? I thought he hated me! Oh well, I don't need to worry about that now, I need to worry about the evil force.
Just then Brock knocked on the door.
Brock: Can I come in?
Misty: Sure, what's up?
Brock: You okay?
Misty: Yea, my head just was hurting really badly and this whole evil gene thing is really getting on my nerves.
Brock: What?
Misty: Did I say that out loud? Darn! Cassy's going to kill me!
Brock: Cassy? What are you talking about Misty?
Just then Ash appeared in the doorway.
Ash: He mine as well know now, he was bound to figure it out sooner or later.
Brock: Figure out what?
Misty thought really hard. All of a sudden, Brock fell asleep.
Ash: Misty! What did you do?
Misty: I don't know, I gotta call Cassy!
She took out her communicator.
Misty: Cassy, come in!
Cassy: Yes Misty, what is it?
Misty: Can I please tell Brock about the genes? I kinda half slipped anyway; it's weird though he just fell asleep.
Cassy: That is weird. Don't tell him, okay.
Misty: Why not?
Cassy: My boss will fire me.
Misty: Cassy, please!
Cassy: Don't give me that puppy dog look! Oh all right, if you must.
Misty: Thanks Cassy, It'll make my life so much easier.
Cassy: Okay, oh and you should be getting some new powers soon.
Misty: Like what?
Cassy: Okay, you can control people with your mind and teleport.
Misty: I think they're already here.
Cassy: That's probably why Brock fell asleep. You just have to think really hard and it will happen. Another addition is that you no longer have to say when you want to make someone hear your thoughts, you can just think that you want them to.
Misty: Okay, we'll I gotta go, Brock is starting to wake up.
Cassy: Okay, bye!
They hung up. Brock woke up to Misty and Ash sitting over top of him.
Brock: Uh, what, what happened?
Misty explained the whole situation to Brock.
Ash: So does it make sense?
Brock: Yea and you knew the whole time Ash?
Ash: Yep, aren't I good at keeping secrets?
Misty: right.
Ash: You shut up Misty, I'm sick of you today. I'm leaving. See you guys in the morning.
Ash walked out and went into the room right next door. It was a lot smaller. It had a bed, a dresser, and a lamp. There also was a TV, which was a luxury Misty didn't have in her room. He sat down and turned the television on.
Meanwhile Brock went into the room on the other side. It was they exact same set up only like a mirror version.
Misty felt upset, she didn't know exactly why. She lay down on her bed and shut her eyes and she was asleep in seconds. She had a dream. In her dream she and Ash were in the forest. There was a big monster there, it had red eyes and looked really evil. Her indicator wouldn't work against the monster; there was no use. The monster grabbed Ash and threw him into the woods. Misty was against the monster herself. It lunged at her and then she woke up. She began to sweat. What did the dream mean? She looked at the clock that said 2:49. She got up and went into the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth, she had forgotten to do that before bed. Then she turned around and headed back to her room. Then she heard talking. It was coming from downstairs. She went down quietly and looked into the living room. Her sister Daisy and Ash were talking.
Daisy: Yea, I wish I had them too.
Ash: I think she may be having a hard time handling them, so you're probably lucky.
Daisy: She's fine, she's just upset about a lot of things.
Ash: Like what?
Daisy: Well she told you about our parents' right?
Ash: Yea, but I thought she was over that.
Daisy: I don't know if any of us really got over it. It's been almost a year and a half since it happened, but I don't know I worry about her sometimes.
Ash: She's fine.
Daisy: Did she tell you the evil force might come sooner?
Ash: Yea.
Daisy: Well she just tells you everything doesn't she.
Ash: I guess.
Daisy: Okay well I probably should let you get to bed, it's almost three.
Ash: Okay, good night.
He turned and went up the stairs. Misty narrowly missed him and went into the living room. Her sister was sitting on the couch; she sat down next to her.
Daisy: Hi Misty can't sleep either?
Misty: Nope, I had a really weird dream.
Daisy: Me too. I don't know what it could be about. You and Ash were in the woods, and some scary thing flung him and it was fighting you.
Misty: What? That's the same thing I dreamt.
Daisy: Weird.
Misty: So what were you and Ash talking about?
Daisy: You.
Misty: What?
Daisy: How we worry about you sometimes. Like tonight, I don't know, you scared us.
Misty: That was weird. How did Ann know about the evil gene anyway?
Daisy: I don't know, but you took care of it.
Misty: Right, but . . . but could there be others who know about the gene?
Daisy: I really don't know.
Misty: Why did Ash come down?
Daisy: He said something about a dream he had.
Misty: Could it be the same one?
Daisy: I don't know, let's go see!
They both went upstairs quietly as not to wake up the others. They came to Ash's door and knocked. Ash sat up.
Ash: What do you two want?
Misty: Can you tell us about your dream?
Ash: What dream?
Misty: The one that woke you up.
Ash: Okay, well we were in the forest, and there was some scary monster and it got me.
Misty: Oh my gosh!
Ash: What? That's not that bad, it gets worse.
Misty: No, I mean it's the same dream Daisy and me had.
Ash: Weird. Do you think, the you know, do you think the force could be coming?
Misty: I don't know it's possible.
Daisy: I hope not, we've still got 23 more people to cure, and it's going to be hard if we don't get the others.
Misty: Yea, really hard.
Ash: Well you two better go back to bed, see you in the morning.
He rolled over and hoped they would leave. They did and they went back into their rooms.
BREAKBREAKBREAK
BREAKBREAKBREAK
He closed his eyes and was soon asleep. Misty on the other hand was too shaken up to sleep. She lay there and looked at her aquarium, the fish weren't there, so they must be sleeping. Something was weird though, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Just then there was a loud scream, and bang. Misty got up out of bed and ran to her sister Violet's room where she heard it come from.

The Next Morning
The next morning, Ash awoke with a jolt. He looked around, the room looked like there was something wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something was wrong. He got up and quickly rushed over to Misty's room. The door was shut, he knocked, but there was no answer. She must be asleep. He slowly opened the door, and peered in. She was gone!
Ash: Misty! Misty!
He said as he ran down the steps. He came into the living room, and Misty was sitting on the couch with Daisy and Lilly, crying. Ash was panic stricken, what was wrong? Misty rarely cried, but she had been a little strange lately.
Ash: What's wrong?
Misty: They got her?
Ash: They got who?
Daisy: Violet.
Ash: Who got violet?
Lilly: The evil force, they're here.
These words were like a knife in Ash's back.
Ash: But, but, but how?
Misty: We have to go now Ash, we have to get Violet back.
Ash knew that Misty would have to fight, and her life was in danger, he thought this day wasn't coming for another few years, why so soon? Misty wasn't ready!
Misty: I have to go!
Daisy: We're coming with you, we're supposed to help too.
Misty: No, I'll go alone, if you loose me, then there still be the two of you, and you can fight. If you come and, you know, then no one can save them.
Ash had never heard Misty talk this way; she really cared about her sister.
Ash: I'll come too.
Misty: No Ash, you'll be in danger.
Ash: I don't care, I'm coming and you can't stop me.
Misty: Fine, I could use the company.
Daisy: Oh no! The soldiers!
Misty: you can fight them, I know you can, I'll be back with Violet in the next week, then we'll all fight together.
Deep down Misty didn't believe she'd be back, but she had to save Violet.
Ash and Misty gathered up their belongings in a matter of fifteen minutes, and met at the door.
Daisy: Well I guess this is it.
Violet: Good luck little sister.
Misty was trying to hold back her tears, so she didn't say anything. She and Ash turned and headed down the road.
Ash: You'll see them again.
Misty: You think?
Ash: I know.
Misty: Thanks.
They were silent for the next few hours; they walked down through viridian. Ash remembered he wanted to earn his Earth badge.
Ash: Misty could I ask a favor?
Misty: What is it?
Ash: Can I earn my earth badge?
Misty: Ash, we don't have time.
Ash: Misty, please, It's my last badge before I can qualify and I'm right here.
Just then a large cloud came over the town; it began to grow darker and darker. Misty began to shiver. "Why couldn't I have listened to my parents and wore warmer clothes?" She thought. Then strangely, it began to snow. A
Misty: Ash? What's happening?
Ash: I don't know.
Misty: (whispering) I'm scared.
Ash: (thinking) me too, Misty, me too.
He took a deep breath.
Ash: Let's keep going, we can get you're sister if it's the last thing we do.
Misty sat down on a bench; she couldn't do this any more.
Misty: Why?
Ash: What, what are you talking about? Come on Misty, let's go.
Misty: What's the use?
Ash sat next to her.
Ash: Misty, what are you saying? Do you even get what's going on?
Misty: No and I don't care.
Ash: Misty, snap of it, don't you even get it? (He took a deep breath and thought for a second) Misty, you're special, you were chosen to save, to save, well, the world.
Misty: and why was that?
Ash: I don't know, please, just come on and do this, what would Violet say?
Misty: I don't even know where she is Ash, okay? (Beginning to cry again) I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't get why it came so early, I don't get anything, I just want to go home and be normal.
She looked Ash in the face; he could tell how frustrated and confused she was. He felt just the same, but he didn't want to seem insensitive. He put his hand on hers.
Ash: It'll be okay Misty. (Then, sarcastically) Think about me, I never asked to meet you, I never asked for you to save my life, I never asked you come along with me, never! Okay? Misty, we're in this together.
Misty gave a little giggle, she realized Ash was trying to cheer her up.
Misty: I guess you're right. We're in this together. Let's go.
As they stood up, a large purple spiral appeared in front of them. It sucked them into it, and they appeared in a strange world. It vaguely resembled Misty's old home; they seemed to be in another dimension.
Ash: What is this?
Misty looked around, the place was deserted, it was dirty, and then she saw it. It was her, wandering around shouting, Mom! Dad! Where are you? Hello?
Ash: It's you.
Misty: Ash, I think we've traveled in the past.
Ash: Do you mean?
Misty: I mean, this is my world, and this is what you're world will become if we let it get out of hand.
Just then Violet walked up to them.
Misty: Violet?
Violet: Yes, it's me, I'm here. This is where the force has brought me.
Misty: Are you okay?
Violet: Yes, I'm fine, what you are seeing of me is a hologram, I'm not really here. I'm in our old house. If you come there and bring the black ruby, I can be freed.
Just then she disappeared.
Ash: The black ruby?
Misty: I don't know. I want to go back to your world where it's safe; I don't like it here.
Ash: We don't have much of a choice. If you want you're sister back we have to find that black ruby.
Just then a fairy appeared in front of them.
Fairy: Hello, I'm Inalea.
Misty: That's nice, what do you need?
Inalea: I am here to guide you to the black ruby.
Misty: How can we get there?
Inalea: Just follow me.
Inalea flew off and Ash and Misty began to chase her. They came to a small house. Misty peered in the window. A small boy was sitting at a table, eating a piece of bread, his mom came in and sat down next to him, she took the bread from him and threw it across the room.
Inalea: As you can see not even the boy's mother cares for him, he is one who is not affected by the evil.
Misty: I thought that only my sisters and me were not affected by the evil.
Inalea: No, you were the four chosen to save the future, but there is five others not affected, if you can get those four together in one place, you will get the black ruby.
Ash: Well, how are we going to find them?
Inalea: I will guide you to all of them.
Misty knocked on the door to the house. The little boy answered.
Boy: Hello? How may I help you?
Misty: Hello, I'm Misty, we need you're help.
Boy: Hi Miss. Misty, I'm Robert. Let's go quick before my mom follows me.
Misty picked up the little boy and they began to run down the street.
Inalea: Okay the next one is in that house.
Misty went up and knocked on the door. An old woman answered.
Woman: Hello dear. Oh Robert, how are you?
Robert: Hi nana Ursula.
Misty: You two know each other?
Ursula: Sure, I'm Ursula, his old nanny, who may I ask are you?
Misty: I'm Misty, and that's my friend Ash.
Ursula: Let's get going.
They all ran down the street, they were getting closer to Misty's house every second.
The next house was a mansion. Ash knocked on the door this time. A man in his twenty's answered the door.
Man: Hello? How may I help you?
Ash: We need you're help sir, can you please come with us?
Man: I'm Brent, who are you?
Ash: I'm Ash, please, can you come?
Brent: Sure.
They again ran out of the house as fast as possible and kept running down the street. There was one more house, they all went up to the door. A Young woman answered the door.
Woman: Hello, I am Yanni, who are you?
Misty: I'm Misty, we really need you to come with us, please.
Yanni: Sure.
Everyone willingly ran down the street until they came to Misty's house.
Inalea: Okay, now I know you four are supposed to stand in a circle and then the black crystal is supposed to appear in the center.
The four stood in a circle, but nothing happened.
Misty: Maybe there's some order to the way you're supposed to stand.
She thought for a while. Let's see Robert, Ursula, Brent, and Yanni.
Misty: I've got it! You're names, R for Robert, U for Ursula, B for Brent and Y for Yanni. Spells RUBY!
Ash: Awesome, why don't you guys stand in that order. Brent and Ursula switched places and they stood there. A few moments later the group began to glow, they all disappeared, and a ruby was left in their place.
Misty: Where did they go?
Inalea: Back to their homes.
Misty: Poor Robert has to go back with his mother.
Inalea: It'll all work out Misty, don't worry about it. Misty looked closer at the ruby inscribed upon it was. . . "The day shall come soon when my powers will take from the chosen one the one most cared for, an then only a tear of true love can bring that one back."
Misty read it out loud.
Just then a large portal appeared.
Misty: I guess that I read that too early, that must be what you say to get the portal back here.
Ash: Misty, if we want to save you're sister and get out of here, we better do it fast before that thing closes up.
Misty: You're right.
Misty and Ash opened up the door to Misty's house. They walked in and Violet was standing there. Misty took the black ruby and held it out to a guard, the guard vanished instantly.
Misty: I like this thing.
Violet: Misty! Ash!
Misty: You're okay, we have to go now.
She grabbed her sister's hand and they went outside, luckily the portal was still there, they walked in, rather than being sucked in this time, and when they came through, they were in front of their gym.
Misty ran up to the door, and opened it. They walked in and Daisy and Lilly were siting on the couch.
Daisy: You're home!
Misty: WE were only gone a few hours.
Daisy: A Few hours? Day's is more like it.
Misty: Huh?
Ash: Let's not worry about it, the thing is we're back, and we have violet.
Misty: So what's been going on here?
Lilly: Well we just got off the phone with Cassy, she said she's sorry about the thing coming early.
Misty: Oh gee, and that makes up for everything.
Daisy: Misty, she couldn't have known.
Misty: I guess, so what's next?
Lilly: I guess we just take it as it comes.
Daisy: Cassy also said, that there was some kind of weird time warp thing that caused the other evil genes to disappear. Now we only have the force to deal with.
Misty let out a deep breath.
Misty: That's a huge relief!
Daisy: Well, we should go and look for the force.
Just then Pikachu came running down the steps and jumped to Ash.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika (Ash, you're back! I missed you so much!)
Ash: I missed you too Pikachu. I'm glad to see you again.
Pikachu: Pika, Pika (There's something outside)
Ash: What do you mean?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pika (I mean there's a big monster out in those forests)
Ash looked out the window to the mountains surrounding Cerulean City. Sure enough, Pikachu had spotted the evil force, reeking havoc on the outside of Cerulean.
Ash: Misty look at this.
Misty: What? (She sees) Oh no, we have to go now!
Misty grabbed her backpack and began to run out of the house.
Daisy: Misty wait!
Ash and Pikachu ran after Misty,
Lilly: We better follow them.
Violet, Daisy and Lilly grabbed their bags and put some stuff in it, in about 15 minutes they went running out of the door. As soon as they were gone, Brock came downstairs.
Brock: Hey, where'd everyone go? Oh well.
He sat down on the couch and tuned on the cooking channel.

Meanwhile . . .
Misty and Ash kept running, Pikachu had gotten tired so he jumped up on Ash's shoulders. They kept running until they came to a clearing. They were right next to the evil force. Misty was scared, but she knew that now that the force was here she should have her full power. She shouted to the monster, twenty feet tall.
Misty: Hey evil force, I'm what you're looking for isn't it?
The monster turned around. It had one eye, and looked just like Cyclops.
It bent down to Misty and Ash.
Evil Force: So you're the scrawny thing they sent to fight me?
Ash couldn't help but laugh, but he dare not let Misty see.
Misty: I am Misty, the warrior sent to destroy you!
Ash: (Thinking) Warrior? Since when was Misty a warrior?
Misty: With the powers of goodness, truth, and love, I will destroy you!
Ash: (Thinking) That sounds like team rocket a little, I guess all that time around them, something had to rub off.
Evil Force: Fine, then watch this.
He came down to Kick Misty, he swung his foot at her, but missed, Misty was too quick for him.
He bent down and picked up Ash.
Misty: My dream! No! Ash!
The monster threw him out into the woods. There was no way Ash could have survived. Misty had lost hope her best friend was gone.
Misty: You'll pay for that!
She took her index fingers and pointed at him. A Bolt of energy came out and hit the evil force with such a force that it fell to the ground. Daisy and Lilly came running through the forest and came to the clearing, they saw Pikachu sitting alone, and Misty fighting.
Daisy: Where's Ash?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pika! (He's gone)
And Pikachu began to cry,
Daisy: What's wrong with Pikachu?
They stood in silence and watched Misty battle.
The Monster sat up, completely unfazed.
Evil force: You're strong for such a scrawny brat!
Misty: I wish you'd stop calling me that!
Misty thought really hard. Maybe the force had the gene! She took out her indicator, flipped it inside out and said as loud as she could. " Evil be gone from this body, let all goodness once here be replaced" Instantly the monster began to glow. It grew in size. Larger and larger, until it popped, and it was out of site.
Misty thought, where was Ash? She started to run toward the woods where he was tossed.
Daisy: Where's she going?
Pikachu: Pika, Pika, Pika! (To go and find Ash!)
Pikachu ran off after Misty.
Daisy: I like still can't understand what that thing say's, but like, let's follow it, okay?
Her sisters agreed.
Misty came up to a space in the woods. There lay Ash, motionless. Misty knew he was gone. She began to cry, he gave up his life, it was all her fault. He was right, he never asked Misty to follow never Asked Misty to have powers and tell him. If she hadn't said anything in the first place, then he'd still be alive.
Her sisters came running up the hill. When Daisy saw Ash, her hands went up to her mouth and Tears began to form in her eyes. Pikachu ran up to Misty.
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu. (He'll be fine)
Misty sat down on the ground and felt his wrist he had no pulse. There was no use they had lost him. She started crying harder. A single tear fell and landed on him. Misty was still holding his wrist, when she felt his pulse come back. She was overjoyed. Ash opened his eyes.
Ash: Misty? What happened?
Misty: You're alive!
She hugged him as tight as possible.
Ash: the last thing I remember was, we were standing there, it was like my dream Misty.
Pikachu jumped up on Ash's lap.
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Ash: Pikachu, buddy!
The sky cleared and Misty thought. How did he come back to life? She looked in her hand at the crystal, something was different about it, it was no longer black, but now red. She looked closer, and inside she saw the evil force! It was trapped!
Just then Inalea appeared in front of them.
Inalea: Good job Misty, You did it.
Misty: Thanks.
Inalea: You saved the universe, including your own. You can go back now, and stay with you're parents, everything will be back to normal, and you won't remember a thing.
Misty: Really?
Inalea: Yes, you can return if you'd like.
Daisy: Us too?
Violet: Us too?
Inalea: Yes, if you'd like. But wherever you go, you won't remember the other universe.
Misty thought if she went back that she had the chance to be with her parents again.
Misty: okay.
All four sisters came up to Inalea.
Inalea: Repeat after me. To the time . . . (keeps talking)
Misty looked over to Ash and Pikachu, sitting there, watching them leave. A tear formed in her eye.
Misty: I'm going to stay.
Inalea: What?
Daisy: Why would you want to do that? We could go home Misty, with Mom and dad!
Misty: I want to stay.
Daisy: But why?
Misty: I can't, I can't say.
Daisy: I know what it is.
Misty: You do?
Daisy: I won't say if you don't want me to, so if you're going to stay then so am I.
Lilly: We sisters have got to stick together.
Violet: Right! We'll all stay.
Inalea: If that's what you want. You're memories will be re-written, and you will not remember any of this. You will not remember you're old home, not you're parents, nothing. Are you sure you want to go through with this?
Daisy: Misty, you're sure?
Misty thought, she wanted to stay with Ash, but she wanted to see her parents too.
Misty: I'm sure.
Inalea: Well then, good-bye.
Misty walked over to Ash and sat next to him.
Misty: Before we go back and we forget I have to tell you something. Ash I lo . . .
A large purple and blue light filled the area, everything went white and the next thing they knew, Daisy Lilly and Violet were in the gym, running their daily routine. Ash, Misty and Brock were in front of the Viridian City gym, so Ash could earn his last Badge. Misty still remembered it all. Why hadn't her memory been erased? She turned to Ash, Ash do you remember earlier today? Ash looked at her strangely.
Ash: Yea Misty, why wouldn't I? We were at you're house, then we headed over here.
Misty: Oh. Okay.
Brock: Are you two gonna stop yapping? Or are you going to go get you're last badge Ash?
Ash: Lets go!
THE END

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!! THANKS!!!!
