This is pokeshipping story. Sort of. Yes, no maybe so . . . whatever. I didn't want my favorite shippings to have a sad ending so I decided to pick on pokeshipping instead. (Sorry if you are a pokeshipper). And, I just got tired of watching May the one suffering in all of the sad storys thay I have written. So I tried something new-ish. Read and enjoy!
A/N: This is when everyone is older and the Pokemon world is slowly turning into like our world. (Meaning that they have highways, gas stations, a LOT of cars, etc).
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or "The Getaway" by Hilary Duff. (If you haven't heard that song yet, it's pretty good).
The Getaway
Misty drove furiously down the street. The speedometer was at 78 miles per hours as her hands grew sweaty and clammy. She slammed the brakes when she came to a stoplight. The girl's body leaned forward at the sudden stop and fell back down on the leather chair.
Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
She gave out a exasperated sigh as she placed her head on the steering wheel. The girl's red hair fell on her shoulders as she closed her turquoise eyes. The glow of the red street lamp glowed on her face.
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind
Hands still on the wheels, she didn't know what to think or feel. Millions of thoughts rushed into her mind as she shook her head. "Why?" the teen water Pokemon loving girl whispered to herself. "Why is love so painful? What's goin' on . . .?"
First you wanna be free
Now you say you need me
Giving mixed signals in size
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again
A long time ago, he told her that he was going to break up with her for another girl. He told her he wanted to be "free" from her for a while. So he discarded her just like that. And he never spoke another word to her.
Then just yesterday, he waved her a hello as he gave her one of those smiles. When she bumped into him again between classes, he helped her and said he was sorry. Misty sighed and leaned against the steering wheel. "What am I supposed to do now?"
Push the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The stoplight turned from red to green. She pushed the accelerator as hard as she could to drive to the free way where she can leave Pallet Town once and for all. The cerulean eyed youth squinted at a sign on the road that leads the way to the highway.
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
But something is stopping her. Her thoughts are slowing her down. 'You know you love him deep down inside! Stop Misty! Turn back!'
"Shut up! Damn!" she cursed to herself. "Am I going insane now?" The yellow-jacket wearing young girl turned to a curb and cried angry tears. Her car hummed as the lights on the car blinked in equal intervals. Cars passed by and by, ignoring the blue vehicle parked away on the side containing a hurting girl inside. Misty leaned back on her chair giving another sigh and saying, "Oh God . . ."
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
"You promised that you will love me forever. You told me that you loved me. Why did you lie!" Misty asked as if Ash was there to answer her questions. "You told me that . . . but you were just the opposite, so I am parting you now." She swerved her car out of the curb and pushed the gas petal down as hard as she could. The lights on the car stopped blinking. Instead, the wheels on the car were spinning faster and faster.
"I can't keep coming back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
Cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rear-view mirror"
She forced herself to stop having thoughts to herself about Ash. All he wants is to get her back only if there isn't anyone else out there. "Misty, you are as beautiful as the lily pads that I saw today at the Botanical Ponds," Ash whispered a few days ago. The carroty hair girl wanted to believe that but, she must not trust him again. Yet, it was so hard to ignore him.
The streetlamps passed by quickly as the time read 11:00 P.M. As she drove to the gas station, and sighed, relieved that she was about to leave her past for good. The clear-blue eye trainer slowed down, but someone was in her rear-view mirror. "No . . . not you again!" Tears of anger and hurt streamed down her face from just seeing that boy's face again, as if she had no control over them.
Is this just a detour?
Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again
Stopping her car at the gas station, she watched him get out of his. The boy ran to her window as she rolled it down. "What do you want?" she managed to scream through a clog in her throat. Her eyes were red from crying, and her hair mussed. Tears were falling fast as she looked straight into those black eyes of his.
"Misty, I'm sorry. I want to take you back. Please forgive me . . . please." Those pleading black eyes he was giving her were irresistible. Misty turned her head away. Ash grabbed her hand with one hand and her chin with the other hand. The black hair boy positioned his friend's head towards his face. "Misty?" he asked softly. She was silent, thinking if he really meant what he was saying.
"I can't . . ." she sobbed shaking her head. "Please let me go."
"No! C'mon Mist! I love you!" Those three words were said before. But if they are said in a way that doesn't come from within the heart, they are meaningless. The red head made up her mind already.
'Mustn't . . . fall for him again or suffer . . . another heartbreak!' the red-head girl thought to herself. "No," she murmured. She pushed his hands away. He stood back staring at her with his beseeched face as one arm tried to reach out for her. Misty rolled up her window as she re-started her car.
Push the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
Driving away not looking back at Ash whose head and arms lowered, she headed close to the way out of Pallet Town. The speedometer reached very high again.
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
Streetlamps, cars, buses, other objects and vehicles rushed passed Misty's car. Her eyes were only fixed upon the exit sign that she was about to reach.
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
Misty talked to herself. "You are saying that you love me Ash. But you still will cause me to have heartbreak." Her grip on the steering wheel tightened. "You knew how I was, yet you abandoned me for another girl that I dislike. Now, I must go to a place where I can rethink about this whole mess." Glancing at her rear view mirror once more, she closed her eyes trying to erase the past and clear her mind from him.
"I wish I could bid you farewell . . . Misty said out loud to no one.
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye
' . . . But you don't deserve that. I know I am doing the right thing because the past is the past. It must be forgotten. So, now that you don't know that I'm leaving you, I hope you feel the way I did. Lost and lonely in your own thoughts,' Misty thought to herself with a cold voice. As she turned to exit the town she may never return again, she stopped at another traffic light.
Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
"I know this is for the good . . . I know it is . . ." Misty reassured herself. As the red shine from the red light expose itself to her face, she stared into deep thoughts.
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind
Clasping on her wheel with her tensed up hands she had more thoughts and memories run into her brain.
'Misty, it's just you and me forever now,' Ash said giving her a promise ring.
Thered hairgirl stared at her left ring finger. A boulder sized diamond on a silver ring stared up at her and glimmered. Confused, sad, and unpredictable at the moment, Misty had no idea what to do. What to think. And what to say to herself.
Push the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getaway)
Green light lit up and the teen pressed the gas downward and headed to the turn. 'Exit to Viridian City this way' the sign indicated. Sighing she turned and drove down the lane that heads to Viridian City. The road somehow, looked recognizable.
Then it struck her like hail. This road used to be the Viridian forest where she had first met Ash many years ago.
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can take)
Holding in those hot tears, Misty continued to drive faster and faster, ignoring the honks from the other cars. She was trying her hardest to erase what went before. The aqua eye girl shook her head and focused her orbs on the road. Yet her mind always wandered off . . .
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
The pain from those lies he told her will stab her forever. It was as if Ash reversed his car from hers. At this very moment, Misty past the exact spot where she fished the black hair boy out when they were younger.
As the remembrances came to her thoughts, she shook them away, forgetting everything that ever happened between her and Ash.
Misty drove her car, pushing it to its limits at its fastest speed. While she preoccupied with thoughts, she didn't see a danger zone and crashed into it. The car ran over a ramp, flipped in the air and . . .
CRASH!
The car bounced, landed upside-down, skitted across the road, and stopped by a sidewalk. Sirens were heard from far away as Misty put on a small smile to herself. "I gotta make a getaway . . . and this is one way." She coughed as blood trickled down her mouth. She was becoming unconscious as her breath paced. Blood fell down from the top of her head, dripping down her face. "This is my getaway. This how I can escape you . . . forever." Her eyes closed as the ring on her finger shimmered an eerie glow for a brief moment and faded, indicating that these were the last seconds of Misty's life.
:ahem: My message of this story is that: Not all relationships work out the way you think it does. There IS another message to this fic, but, I wouldn't want to say. If you can guess the other meaning of this story, I'll give you a little treat!
:shrugs: I dunno why I didn't add Pikachu or any other Pokemon. So, don't ask.
EDIT: Credits to Ice-Phoenix-chan for some suggestions and helpful tips.
:sweat-drops: I guess I'm still learning how to get better huh? By the way, if my story seems too. . . . "formal-ish" I guess I used all of my skills I learned from school and forgot the way I used to write. So yes, my writing style changed completely.
Anyhow, reviews please!
