One needs another
A/N: It has been a while since I have written anything and I had a crazy idea and wanted to share this with everyone. There will be twists and turns in the chapters, hope that you like it. (For my followers I have updated this chapter.) Please pardon my grammar. R&R!
Ash ran as fast as he could trying to get away from a wild tauros. Dodging tree limbs, jumping over uprooted roots and overgrown bushes. He could hear the snorts and hollers of the tauros chasing him. He looked behind him to see where the tauros was, but tripped over an unseen root crashing into the ground. The tauros lowered its head and rammed Ash's body causing him to fly several feet in the air, then slamming to the ground. The pain was excruciating, but he had to get up and get away. He scrambled to his feet ignoring the pain in his chest and ran for his life. Tauros charged again. Ash made a quick right turn and then a quick left smacking into another human body. Their bodies rolled for several feet until they came to a complete stop. Opening his eyes, there was a redheaded girl right on top of him. The hollering of the tauros and the vibration from its hooves sounded very close. The girl stood up and looked at the boy.
"Sorry miss, but I have to do this." he picked up the girl and shoved her up a tree with a low branch.
"Hey, what are you doing?" she yelled. Ash sat her on the branch and climbed up after her. The leaves were enough to hide them from the creature.
"Shhh…" Ash said and pointed to the wild pokemon. She took the hint and didn't move. Tauros came to a halt and searched for its chase. It sniffed the ground and ended in front of the tree the two were hiding in. With a large snort, the tauros walked away. A sigh of relief fell over them.
"I am really sorry that I ran into you. Are you okay?" Ash asked the girl. The girl looked herself over.
"I'm fine…the way you look…" all she could say when she saw the blood on Ash's shirt. He looked down at his shirt and remembered how he got it. The pain in his chest hit.
"I'm fine, I'll heal." Ash said hopping out of the tree. Not such a good idea, this caused the pain to intensify. He helped her down from the tree branch with a gentle touch.
"You look like you are in a lot of pain. Let me take a look at it." She said pulling his shirt up to look at the wound. He pushed her hands out of the way.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! If I would have done that you would have screamed rape!" Ash said holding his chest.
"I'm sorry, it's just really bleeding badly and you need medical attention."
"I'll be fine!" was the last thing he said before the world went black.
Several, several hours later… Ash awoke with a pain in his side. A female voice startled him.
"Good morning sleepy head. How are you feeling?"
"Fine, I guess. How long have I been out?" he looked up to the sky to see the sun was up.
"About 13 to 14 hours. Your adrenaline rush stopped and the pain in your chest caused you to pass out. My name is Misty by the way and you're welcome." She said. Ash rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"My name is Ash." he looked at her and saw a small amount of bruising on her left side of her arm.
"I am still really sorry about slamming into you yesterday. You must be really be sore."
"Not really. I wouldn't move too much if i were you. I don't want you to reopen any of your wounds." she said. "So how did you piss off that wild tauros?"
"I have no idea." Ash said trying to stand up. "The next thing I know it I hear a snort and hooves charging at me." he chuckled a little. The pain in his chest made him take a small deep breath to ease the pain. Misty just rolled her eyes at him.
"I told you to not move. Now look what you did, you've opened a wound." Misty walked over to him and pulled his shirt up.
"Again, if I did the same to you...rape!" Ash sung. Misty giggled. She moved his bandages around to saw a wound only opened a little.
"You are going to be fine, just don't do anything hasty or get chased by another tauros." she giggled again.
"Thank you for your help. I do need to get to the next town for my gym battle." Ash grabbed his things and wave bye to Misty.
"What town are you heading too?" Misty asked following him.
"I am heading to Cerulean City to see the gym leader."
"Then you should just earn your badge here so you don't over do it with your side." This caused Ash to stop in his tracks. He ran the thought through his head and looked back at Misty.
"What did you just say?"
"I am the gym leader of Cerulean!" Misty said holding up a Water Badge. The look on Ash's face was priceless to Misty. She couldn't help but laugh.
"You are a very funny person Ash. I will gladly battle you, we just need to find a lake to be an official battle." Ash about lost it. He just stared at her in complete confusion.
"Um, yeah. Sure. That would be awesome." Ash finally managed to speak. As they walked through the forest, Ash was still on edge from the wild tauros. Noises made his flinch and he was always looking behind him for any signs of trouble. They made it to a lake that was too beautiful for words. The trees enclosed the lake only to moved by the wind. The lake was crystal clear and the Magickarps left trails from their fins in the water.
"This will be perfect for a battle!" she was in complete awe of the area. She felt like she was in heaven.
"This is a nice area. So you ready for a battle?" Ash said holding his pokeball. Misty took off her shoes and socks setting them aside while grabbing a few pokeballs from her red bag and took one small step in the water. The water felt like stepping into pure silk on her feet. She continued walking deeper and deeper into the lake until the water was half way up her smell of the water filled her nose and got her into battle mood.
"Alright Ash, I am not going to make this easy for you. This will be a three on three battle." Misty said tossing her pokeball into the air releasing her Starmie. Ash looked her Starmie and gave Misty a smirk.
"Why would you?" he threw his pokeball into the air and called out Butterfree. Misty had a questionable look on her was not what she predicted for him.
"Alright, it's your funeral. Starmie, use water gun!" Misty commanded. Starmie shot a jet stream of water at Butterfree.
"Dodge it Butterfree and use silver wind!" Ash commanded. Butterfree listened and dodged the attack and flapped his wings with all his might causing Starmie to fly back several feet. It tried its hardest to stand back up.
"Now Butterfree use shadow ball!" Ash called out. A black ball formed and was tossed at Starmie causing Starmie to lose the two attacks Misty was floored. She didn't know what to think, but reacted by calling out her launched out hyperbeam. Butterfree didn't have a chance to miss the attack and was knocked out, loosing the battle. Ash recalled Butterfree and told him what a good job he has done.
"Not bad Ash, but you are going to have one hell of a challenge with my Gyarados." Misty said with confidence. Ash giggle and called out his next pokemon.
"Come on out Bulbasaur!" With a flash of light, Ash's Bulbasaur appeared on the ground and was ready for battle. "Bulba!" it hollered. Misty was really trying to figure out what in the world this boy was thinking, but she figured that he had some sort of strategy. Misty called Gyarados to attack with hyperbeam, but missed and was attacked by a solar beam that Ash commanded. She did give Ash his props with quick attacks and high defence tactics. The battled continued between Bulbasaur and Gyarados and the winner of the battle was Bulbasaur. Misty called back her pokemon.
"You are a better fighter than I thought Ash, yet you still got your butt kicked by a tauros. How do you manage that?" Misty said calling out her last pokemon from it's ball. She had called Dragonair, her most prized position. Ash was shocked to see this pokemon since it was so rare.
"You're up buddy!" Ash tapped on the top of Pikachu's head. Pikachu sighed not really wanting to battle his new friend. He hopped onto a small rock in the middle of the lake. Ash thought that it would only be fair since Dragonair was part electric. Misty felt bad that she might hurt the little yellow mouse, but sent Dragonair to use slam. The attack was successful. Pikachu got back on top of the rock from falling into the water.
"Alright buddy, lets do this! Go with iron tail and then follow up with thunder!" Ash said. Pikachu jumped into the air his tail glowing bright, quickly making his iron tail on Dragonair and being effective. While still in the air, Pikachu used thunder. Dragonair was sitting in the water when Pikachu used thunder making the attack more powerful. Dragonair was down for the count. Misty called back her pokemon.
"Wow Ash, you are the first trainer to defeat any of my pokemon with so little time. You are a very good trainer and your strategies were spot on. I present this water badge to you on behalf of myself and the Cerulean City Gym." Misty put the badge in Ash's hand. He looked at to make sure it was real, but was overwhelmed that he had another badge in such a short time.
"Thanks a lot Misty." Ash shook her hand in acceptance of his winning. "I guess that I am going to go to Celadon City. I'll just make a shortcut through the wood instead of traveling to Cerulean. That will make it a little easier for me." Ash said pulling out his map to see what direction he needed to head in.
"You will need to head Southeast to get to Celadon City." Misty pointed in the direction.
"Well, thank you Misty." It was kinda an awkward moment for the both of them. They didn't know if they should travel together or part their separate ways.
"Can I ask you a question?" he asked.
"What would that be?"
"Why is the Cerulean City Gym Leader doing out here in the middle of nowhere?" This really did puzzle him as why she was out here. She just kinda stared at him trying to think of an answer.
"Well... every now and again I like to get out of the gym and away from my sisters." she lied. He knew that something was wrong but went with her lie anyway.
"I think I am going to head to Cerulean anyway. Go to the Pokemon Center and rest up there. Plus, it will let my injuries heal a little better." he said. The look on her face showed some relieve and worry at the same time. Ash decided to follow Misty to her home town, talking to pass the time. The sun was setting and the view of the city was in sight.
"You are more than welcome to stay at the gym for the night instead of staying at the pokecenter." Misty offered. He thought about it and told her that he would think it over.
"You have done a lot for me Misty, I don't want to impose."
"It's nothing, just trying to save you money." Misty offered again. They finally make it to the city and headed in their separate direction with saying their goodbyes.
Ash walked in to the the Pokemon Center and it was packed full of people and their pokemon. He walked up to the front desk and Nurse Joy was there to greet him.
"Hi! Welcome to the Cerulean City Pokemon Center, how can I help you today?" Nurse Joy asked.
"My pokemon needs some medical attention and I was wondering if there are any rooms available?" Ash asked.
"I'm sorry sir, I do not have any rooms available at this time. I will gladly attend to your pokemon though." she took Ash's pokemon back into a room and let him know that it was going to be about an hour and that she would call to let him know his pokemon was ready. Ash walked out of the center and headed to the nearest restaurant for a bite to eat.
Mist finally made it to the gym in time for dinner. She was greeted by her overly cheerful sisters.
"I was like wondering like when you were coming home." Daisy said hugging Misty.
"I was planning on coming home tomorrow night, but something came up." Misty said.
"Well it would have been nice that you would have come home tomorrow because you know who would have finally left." Violet said quietly.
"He wouldn't leave until he saw you. We kept telling him that you were going to be gone for awhile." Lily said looking around for the guy.
"No matter what I do to get rid of him is impossible." Misty said. A male voice echoed through the halls of the gym. All the girls cringed.
"How did he like get in. I lock all the doors like ten minutes ago." Daisy said.
"I can see clearly now, the day is gone, *hickup* I can see all tesitcals in my way, bitches are the dark clouds that have me horney. It's gonna be a dark, *burp* Soon-Shinner day!" a male voice sang with beer bottle in hand. He came into view of the girls.
"*hick* there are my gurls..."he slurred. He smelled like he bathed in alcohol.
"You've been drinking again?" Misty said walking up to the drunk boy.
"Nope! Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are? I don't understand why you keep playing hard to get?" he leaned up against Misty.
"I'm not playing hard to get, I broke up with you! You really stink of alcohol." Misty said walking away from her ex-boyfriend.
"David, how did you get into the gym anyway?" Misty asked.
"I used the spare key I stole...*hickup*" David said holding up the key.
"Give me that key David!" Misty demanded. David shook his head no and ran towards the gym, Misty following behind him.
"I wish Misty would just go to the cops after what happened last time." Lily said letting a tear fall from her cheek. *knock* *knock* *knock*
"Who in the like world could that be?" Daisy wondered. The three walked up to the door and opened it.
"I'm sorry sir, but the gym is closed. Come back tomorrow." Violet said.
"I'm actually here to see Misty. We met earlier and said to meet her later." Ash said.
"She's in the gym dealing with her ex-boyfriend. You are more than welcome to interrupt that." Violet said. Ash just smiled and walked past them giving a wave. The girl were still ogling him while walking down the hallway.
"David! I don't know what it is going to take to get through that thick head of yours, we are not TO-GETH-ER!" Misty said trying to get David's attention. He turned around and smiled at her and with a blink of an eye his hand was wrapped around her throat. She grabbed his hand and tried to get him to let go.
"To death do we part..." he started laughing and tossed her into the pool and held her down. She struggled to get away from him, but he had a tight grip on her throat. The more she tried to get away, the tighter his grip got. Misty black out.
Ash got closer to the door and heard thrashing. He thought that she was swimming in the pool, but the more he listened the worse the thrashing was. This worried him and ran towards the gym door. Ash busted the doors and saw a guy holding down Misty in the pool. He ran over and tackled the guy into the pool hitting him in the face. David was in a daze and that gave Ash the time to grab Misty. He pulled her up from the pool and laid her on the ground. David came to his senses and swam to the edge of the pool. It took him awhile to get out of the pool; his drunk brain not putting two and two together of how to get out. Ash kept an eye on the drunk and performed CPR on Misty.
"Come on Misty, BREATHE!" Ash yelled pressing down on her chest. David staggered over to Ash and tried to hit him.
"Missed." David had a slight laugh as though it was an enticing game. Ash rolled Misty on her side and got up punching David in the stomach. Almost falling to the ground, he caught his balance and charged at Ash again. Ash wrapped his arm around David's neck, kneed him in the stomach again and flipped him over still having his arm around David's neck. Ash gave a good solid punch to his face and a knee to the kidneys. A yelp came from David as he took the punches and felt Ash walk him to the pool. With a shove, David took another swimming lesson.
"Now stay in there and cool off!" Ash demanded. "How did you manage to get caught up with this ass?" Ash said rolling Misty onto her back and continuing the CPR. She started coughing up the water and opened her eyes to see Ash.
"Ash, what are you doing here?" Misty spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Paying you back from earlier." Ash joked. He picked her up and sat her over to the bleachers.
"Stay here and I will deal with him." Ash said.
"David is really drunk Ash. Just kick him out on the streets." Misty pointed to the door on the other side of the gym.
"David almost got you killed! You are lucky that I came when I did. Your sister would have never known and it would have been too late!" Ash scolded walking over to the pool. He pulled David out the water and drug him over to a poll. He found a rope near-by and tied him up, then pulled out his cellphone and dialed 9-1-1. Misty could hear the emergency responder on the other side of the phone as Ash explained everything. With a click, Ash closed his cell phone and walked over to Misty.
"Are you still breathing okay?" Ash asked sternly. He wrapped her in a blanket he grabbed from a shelf.
"I'll be okay. It's not like this is the first time David has gone on a drinking spree and harmed me." Misty told Ash with the truth loud and clear. Ash took in a deep breathe to calm himself, "This is the how many-ith time he has harmed you?"
"I've lost count. At first, he was never like this, he was a good hearted man. He got a little jealous when what he thought was me flirting with another man. David beat up an old friend of mine. I broke up with David and no matter what I did to get rid of him, he would find his way back in." Misty said. Sirens were heard from the outside door.
"Stay here and I will take care of everything."
"Ash..."
"Mist, I do NOT tolerate this kind of behavior from any gender and I am going to put a stop to it!" Ash said in a rough tone and walked to the front door. The sisters were standing there wondering what was going on.
"Go seek your sister and make sure that she's okay." Ash pointed while answering the door. He talked with Officer Jenny and explained his side of what he saw and did to David. He lead the police to the gym. Officer Jenny walked over to Misty and asked if what Ash had said was true. She shook her head yes. Officer Jenny looked at her sisters.
"This is like not the first time that he has like caused massive harm to our sister. Last year..." Daisy said muffling the crying in her words. That was all Officer Jenny had to hear before she gave the okay to take David away.
"He is going to go to jail and if you would like to press charges against him, which they way things sound would be a good idea. If you do, he will be in jail for a long time and you will not have to worry about him." Officer Jenny insisted. Misty looked at David and then to Ash. She had a feeling that if she did not press charges, Ash would press them himself and she didn't want Ash to get involved with any more trouble she had put him through.
"I will press charges on David." Misty said. The relief of her sisters could be felt. Officer Jenny made a few notes in some paper work and walked over to David. She read him his rights again and told him that Misty was pressing charges against him for several counts. David started yelling and cussing at Misty. He tried his hardest to get away from the police, Ash stood between him and Misty just in case, but was stopped when the police shoved him to the ground and held him.
"Restrain him!" Officer Jenny commanded. They carried David out the door by his legs and arms. Misty curled up in a ball and started crying. Ash turned around and saw her and didn't know what to do. He had never dealt with a woman crying like this. Misty's sisters hugged her and and told her that everything was going to be alright. Ash walked over to them.
"Thank you a whole lot. If it wasn't for you..." Lily said. Misty jumped into Ash's arm and hugged him at tight as her weak body could. He held her close, reassuring her that everything was going to be okay.
"So does the offer still stand about me staying the night. You know to save money?" Ash joked. Lily, Daisy, and Violet did not think that as a joke when Ask looked to see shocked faces.
"Yes Ash." Misty said with a hoarse voice.
"Um...explain!" Violet's eyes widened in shock.
"Ash was attacked by a wild tauros and suffered some wounds. I offered for him to stay here to save some money and not have to sleep on a bed that has been slept on by other people." Misty explained. "Ash is a good man." The girls just hoped this was not another repeat of what just took place. They walked out of the gym.
"How are your wounds?" Misty asked.
"I am fine. I am more worried about you. I knew that something was wrong when you were wondering around the forest, really for nothing." Ash said.
"I really do thank you for all your help, and I'm sorry that you were dragged into all this." Ash looked at her now bruised neck and soaked body. Her drenched clothes clung to her body showing her hourglass figure. Her C cup breast could be seen through her shirt and all Ash could do was try not to stare at her.
"I am going to get dried off and I'll bring you the linen for the day bed in the living room." Misty said leading Ash towards the living room. Ash sat on the couch and watched Misty walk down the hall to her room.
Misty opened her door and walked into her room. She grabbed her pajamas and changed, then grabbed some fresh linens for the day bed. She came back into the living room smiling at him.
"Sorry, the sheets are um...pink. This is all we have." Misty giggled. Ash took the sheet and held it up to his body.
"I think it will look gorgeous on me dear! It fits my body perfectly, and I can't wait to try it on the catwalk!" Ash said in a girly tone wrapping the sheets around his body. This made Misty laugh but the discomfort from her throat made her stop. She pulled out the day bed and placed the sheet on the bed along with some cream colored toss pillows.
"Oh girl, you really know how to design the best looking bed out of thin air! I have to know your secret!" he flaunted in his girly voice again. He was trying his best to make her feel better. Misty gave Ash a hug and thanked him again for everything. She walked to her bedroom and closed the door behind her. Ash heard the lock on the door click and plopped down on the bed. After getting comfortable, his eyelids fell and he was out.
The next morning...
"Ash...Ash..." a voice slowly woke him up. Opening his eyes and saw Daisy staring over him. This startled him causing him to fall out of the bed.
"Like morning Ash! Glad to see that like you are awake. We like will have breakfast in the kitchen in like ten minutes." Daisy said hopping to the kitchen. Ash was completely freaked out by this. He got up from the floor and sat back on the bed. He felt a hand on his shoulder causing him to jump off the bed again.
"Geezee!" he yelled.
"Ash! Are you okay?" Misty asked.
"Yeah. Daisy kinda creeps me out. She was standing over me when she woke me up."
"She does that...alot." Misty said helping him off the floor.
"Breakfast is ready!" Violet yelled. Both Misty and Ash head into the kitchen. Pancakes were stacked on each plate with a few extra on one plate. Everything was fancy and proper.
"Ash, this is like your seat here and hope you like pancakes and orange juice." Daisy stood over the chair she wanted him to sit in. He walked over to the chair and sat down and Daisy sat next to him. She was in a very giddy mood when around him. Misty sat on the on the left side of Ash and the others found their spots. They started into breakfast; half way through Daisy spoke.
"Do you have a girlfriend Ash?" This caused Ash to spew his orange juice and choke.
"Daisy! That is none of your business." Misty pointed.
"Um..no I don't. I travel too much to be with anyone." Ash said poking at his food.
"Where will you be heading next?" Daisy asked. Misty could tell how uncomfortable Ash felt with Daisy flirting all over him.
"I am heading to the Celadon City to get my next badge." Ash said finishing up his pancakes.
"You have to get your badge from us first." Daisy said.
"I already challenged him for the badge and he won. It was a quick match." Misty said collecting the plates from Ash and her sisters.
"Where did you battle him?" Violet asked.
"There was a very beautiful lake several miles from here. The water felt like silk." Misty sighed remembering. Ash got up from the table and thanked the sisters for the breakfast and thanked everyone for letting him stay the night. He left the kitchen and collected his things in the living room. Misty followed Ash.
"I am really sorry about my sister. She can be a little over, well a big flirt." Misty said.
"Don't worry about it. I have dealt with worse. I just need to get to Celadon City before nightfall. The forest is not the safest to be in at night." Ash said throwing his backpack over his shoulder. Pikachu hopped onto his master's shoulder. "Pika!"
"Thanks for the free night and free food." Ash said heading to the front door.
"No, I owe you my life Ash. If there is anything that you need or want, please let me know." Misty said standing behind him. Ash stopped in his tracks. It was almost like he could read her mind. She wanted to come with him; to get away from her sisters and everything that had happened in the past day. *Please take me with you...*he heard in her thoughts.
"Would you like to travel with me for awhile?" Ash asked. Misty was overwhelmed in excitement and ran to grab her bag and some clothes. She told her sisters that she was leaving the gym and traveling with Ash. Daisy whined that she wanted to go with Ash. Misty just rolled her eyes and meet Ash at the front door.
"Are you ready?" Ash asked her.
"Ready as ever" Misty said in excitement. They both headed down the road to Celadon City.
