The Secret of Ash

By: Charizard

Disclaimer: Yeah you know the drill.(again...) I don't Own Pokémon, Nintendo does, but if I did then we wouldn't have to write AAMRN's, they'd already be together! ;P

Author's Note: ~these are thoughts~ Also, I used a quote from the movie "Never Been Kissed". For those of you who are familiar with the movie, I used the line from Drew Barrymore's character Josie telling her co-workers about feeling "that thing" when she will have her true first kiss.

Brief Summary: Misty is constantly giving Ash crap, and for the most part he's been trying to put up with them. Misty then says something that really hurts Ash, and for no reason (or so we think) he disappears from the group and appears the next day. What has Ash been doing, and what in his past is he hiding from Misty?

Well enjoy the story guys and gals, and a special thanks to Mikazuchi and slickboy444 for the inspiration to write again! You guys rock! Now on with the show!!!!



*Yawn* "Oh man.what time is it.*looks at watch* 2 AM?! *sighs* Well now's a good time than never for writing.

Ash's POV

Journal Entry 12

~You know there was a time when I thought everything in life was going to work out ok.for the most part. I can remember it clearly.My mom and I had first moved to Pallet Town when I was only a tyke. It was a nice little town; really quiet, everyone knew each other, everyone did favors for one another, but you would expect that from a small town. When I was around three or four, I had made a really close friend. He would always come over to my home after school. Sometimes we would go to his grandfather's lab just up the street. I had grown close to Prof. Oak, and I basically considered him my father since my real dad left my mom when she was still pregnant with me. Jerk. Anyways though, things were great.that is until the fifth grade came along. The year started off like usual, but then I had noticed something really.how should I say this.out of place. Gary had begun to hang out with some kids who were really, and I mean really competitive. They would always play games to see who's better than the other, just to put the rest down 'cuz they didn't win. Now I'll admit I am very competitive, and I dislike losing, but I didn't like putting down someone I may have defeated, it wasn't me. From then on Gary paid less and less attention to me. As time progressed, we had become bitter enemies, and Gary would look for ways to pick on me. At one point it became so bad, he had practically all my peers turn on me. I was extremely upset, and I ran home one day. When I came home, I cried for a while, and once I calmed down, I had turned on the TV. Well I suppose fate had a part in this, a commercial was on saying when the next set of indigo league battles would begin, and it clicked.I could become a Pokémon trainer. Sure, I'd leave Pallet behind, leave all my worries behind, and basically start all over...Oh yeah, I was almost ten and I had it all figured out. So, I begin my journey by leaving my home way too late. By the time I get to Prof. Oak's lab, all the Pokémon were taken, and on top of that, I find out much to my dismay that Gary had become a trainer too! I needed this like a hole in the head. Now, I'm thinking that things can't get any worse, heh heh.yeah. I end up with a Pikachu that is as disobedient as something that came from Satan! Well.maybe not that bad.but it was still a pain.Then, being the doofus I am, I piss off a Spearow and then end up getting chased by a nasty flock of them, and they brutally attack me and Pikachu. I remember when all this was happening; all I could do was make sure Pikachu wouldn't get hurt. I next fall into a river and get hooked by something. I get violently pulled a shore and I see a very pretty girl, but she apparently paid attention to Pikachu and not me. Well I ended up taking her bike and took off before the Spearow could hurt me. Unfortunately they caught up and began attacking, and Pikachu suddenly came to my rescue when he had realized that I cared about him. We were both hurt, and the sun came out and shined brightly. Then I see Pikachu hurt, and he looked at me and licked my face. I smiled. I had made friends with a Pokémon. After sometime, I ended up at a Pokémon Center in Viridian City, and had the Nurse Joy take care of Pikachu. Well time passed by and the next thing I know, a fuming redhead storms into the Pokémon Center about to chew my head off because I wrecked her bike. I had to explain the situation to her, and she somewhat understood. Well she ended up following me until I paid her for the bike. So here I am today, more than four years have passed since that day, and Misty and I still fight. I hate it because of what had happened back when I was a kid, but Misty is so charming I just forget about the taunting. My heart melts just at the thought of her, whenever I see her smile or laugh; I just fall head over heels for her, but as much as I like her.she couldn't possibly see anything me that way, I'm just another friend to her. Oh well.life is cruel that way. *Sighs* Well journal, goodnight. I think I might runaway..maybe.~

Normal POV

*Yawns* "Oh man.this is so depressing writing this stuff, but my mom said it'd be good for me to express my feelings to something that won't criticize them. Well.I think I'm getting rest tonight. *Looks to right* Good night Pikachu."
