Somewhere Someday Chapter 1: Version A, a pokémon fanfic

When clouds above you start to pour
And all of your doubts
Rage like a storm
And you don't know who you are anymore
Let me help you find what you've been searching for

Misty Waterflower, Gym leader in Cerulean City, was acting very unusual. The townsfolk sensed something was wrong. She was currently trying to end a record 49 battle losing streak. However, she just seemed to have no motivation. At night, she stared up at the stars, and wondered if Ash even still remembered her. She figured he'd fallen for someone else.

Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a field and a river
Somewhere...
You can let your soul run free
Someday...
Someday let me be the giver
Let me bring you peace
Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a break in the weather
Somewhere...
Where your heart and spirit go free
Someday...
Someday it'll be for the better
Let this bring you peace
Girl, I know you, think no one sees
The weight on your shoulders
But you can't fool me
And aren't you tired of standing so tall
Let me be the one to catch you when you fall

The next day, she decided to take a day off. She collected her mail as usual, and went for a swim. Swimming usually cleared her thoughts, but not anymore… After swimming, she dried off and read her mail. Her eyes showed the slightest glimmer of hope when she came upon a letter from… Ash.

Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a field and a river
Somewhere...
You can let your soul run free
Someday...
Someday let me be the giver
Let me bring you peace baby
Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a break in the weather
Somewhere...
Where your heart and spirit go free
Someday...
Someday it'll be for the better
Let this bring you peace...

She opened the letter; the postmark indicating it was from Unova. Slowly, she read the letter. "Misty, I realize it's been too long since I've written to you. Things are going great here, although Dent is really making me miss Brock's cooking. Still, I can't help but think about you. No other girl I've traveled with has caught my eye. They may be downright beautiful, or smarter than the Professor, but you've got something they don't: Determination. You've always had that drive to succeed that I wish I could say I have. Knowing you, you've grown impatient and moved on by now, but I just want you to know… you're more important to me than you could ever understand. I hope you're doing well. –Ash" A new fire ignited inside of Misty. She knew exactly what she needed to do.

Let me bring you joy (bring you joy)
Let me bring you peace (bring you peace)
Take these tears that you cry and trust them to me
Let me give you heart (give you heart)
And let me give you hope (give you hope)
Be the one constant love that you've never known...

The next day, a young boy walked into the Cerulean gym, hoping to take advantage of the leader's slump and get his first badge. The leader, however, was more focused on something else, having just read that a 50 loss streak requires immediate termination of the acting leader. As the boy entered, she walked up to him. "I forfeit." she said, handing him a badge. She then ran from the gym, a determined look on her face.

Somewhere in Unova, Ash was camped out with Iris and Dent. Dent was cooking a meal that was paltry to those who were used to Brock's cooking, and Iris was doing something in the bushes. Ash heard a rustling of leaves as he played with Pikachu, and expected Iris to return to the campsite. Instead, a familiar redhead ran up to him and hugged him. "M-Misty?" he exclaimed. "That's my name." Misty said. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "I'm doing the right thing. I'm not leaving you again." she said determinedly. "Well that explains everything." Ash said. The two then embraced each other once more.

Somewhere,
Someday
Let me be the one
Let me be the one to catch you when you fall
Somewhere [repeat]
Let me bring you peace...
Somewhere...
