Chapter 3
Ash walked in with Misty's suitcase into his house with Misty behind him.
Ash closed the door and was about to grab Misty's suitcase again when he
saw her wanting to fall towards the floor. He immediately let go of the
suitcase and grabbed her before she fell. "Are you alright Misty?" he asked
as he carried her in his arms. "I'm...just tired...that's all." she said
weakly. "I'll take you to my room." he said as he carried her towards the
master bedroom.
Ash laid her gently on top of the bed. He then brought in her suitcase.
"Ash, you don't have to do this. I'll be alright." Misty said tiredly.
"Misty, Brock told me to take care of you. And that's what I'm going to
do." Ash then sat on the bed and touched her forehead. "Misty you have a
fever." Ash said as he then touched her hands which were cold. "And your
hands are cold too! I'll go get you some medicine for that fever." Ash said
as left the room and went towards the bathroom and opened the medicine
cabinet. Only to find that there wasn't any fever medicine. He went back to
his room to find Misty sound asleep. He slowly leaned down and kissed her
forehead lightly. 'I guess I'll have to go out and buy some' he thought as
he left the room.
Someone slowly opened Ash's front door and went inside....
When Ash returned he opened the front door with his keys and went inside.
He made his way through the hall and was about to go upstairs when he heard
something fell towards the floor. He quickly turned around and headed
towards the direction the sound had come from. He found himself heading
towards the direction of the kitchen he then saw someone bent down cleaning
something red. He came closer to the entrance to find it was a woman.
"Alright who are you?! And what have you done with Misty?!" Ash almost
yelled. The woman turned around and Ash saw it was "Michelle?! What are you
doing here?!" Michelle blushed a little and said "I came to make you
dinner. I thought I'd surprise you." she said quietly. "Yeah right! Then
how do you explain that?!" Ash almost yelled again as he pointed to the red
stain on the tile floor. "Oh that. It's just ketchup. I thought I'd also
prepare some ketchup for Pikachu." she explained. Ash lowered his head
"Pikachu.....he....he was...." Ash was interrupted as Michelle hugged him
and said "It's alright Ash. You don't have to tell me" Ash gently let go of
her. Michelle looked at his eyes. They both leaned foward. Both Ash and
Michelle felt their breaths in each others cheeks. Their lips met in a
sweet but short french kiss. Ash broke the kiss and said "Michelle, I had
no idea you felt this way towards me." Michelle giggled and said "Well now
you know." she said as she kissed him again.
The next month Ash shook Misty gently trying to wake her up. "Misty, come
on, we have a big day ahead of us." he said quietly. Misty woke up and
rubbed her eyes. "Ash, what-" Ash gave her an envelope and said "Open it
Misty" Misty looked at him with a questionable look and opened the
envelope. Misty's eyes widen " Two plane tickets to Seashell Island?!" Ash
smiled and said "Yes Misty, just the two of us." he then hugged her. 'Just
the two of us?! What are you planning Ash Ketchum?' she thought. "Ash just
what do you want from me?! My money, do you want to kill me?!" Misty almost
yelled. "Misty." he said in the same tone as Misty. "I just want to spend
time with you like we used to do when we were kids. We hardly saw each
other after you married Brock." he then paused and said in his normal tone
"Is it so hard to spend time with my best friend like the old times?" There
was silence when Ash finished. Misty threw herself into Ash's arms with
tears flowing freely from her eyes. Ash hugged her. When he let go of her,
he dried her tears from her cheeks with his thumb. "How could I-" Ash
placed his index finger in Misty's lips. "It's alright." he said quietly
"Now go and get dressed. We need to go to the mall and buy clothes for the
vacation." Misty nodded and Ash left Misty so she could get dressed.
"Wait here while I go into this store ok?" "Sure thing Misty." Ash said as
he waited outside the store she had walked into. They had been walking
through the local mall, which was small, but had very nice stores to go
shopping. It had been a while since Misty had entered The Shellder Store,
so he decided to sit down on one of the benches that were near the the
store. 'This is going to be like old times. I can't wait until we get to
Seashell Island!' Ash thought as he smiled "Hey Ash!" Ash looked towards
his right to find Michelle walking towards him. "Hey Michelle!" he said as
he kissed her "What brings you here? You're not the shopping kind of guy."
Michelle said. "Oh, I'm just here with Misty shopping for some clothes and
stuff that we may need." he explained. "Need for what?" "I'm taking Misty
to Seashell Island for a week, just for fun." he said. "Oh. And when are
you leaving?" she asked him. "In a couple of days." Suddenly, Michelle's
beeper went on. "Well, I must go now. I hope you and Misty have fun in
Seashell Island." Michelle said as she turned to walk away. "Michelle!"
Michelle turned around. "I love you." Michelle smiled and said "I love you
too, Ash. Could you do me a favor and drop by the day before you leave. It
will be so lonely whitout you that whole week." she said sadly. "Of course
Michelle." A few minutes later Misty walked out of the store. "I'm sorry if
I tooked too long Ash." "That's alright Mist." Ash said. 'Uh-oh, I called
her Mist instead of Misty.' he thought. "What did you call me?" "I-uh-"
"Did you call me Mist?" she asked. Ash sighed there was no turning back
now. "Yes, Misty, I did. I'm so-" "I think it's sweet of you." she said as
she kissed his cheek. "It's been like an eternety for me to be called by a
pet name." Ash blushed a little and said "Well, to tell you the truth
Misty, I always wanted to call you that since we became friends." "You
have? Why didn't you ask me back then, I wouldn't have done anything to
you." she said. "I never said anything because I thought you might had
tried to hit me with your old mallet." Ash said placing his right hand on
top of his head. "Oh yeah, I could've done that too." she said as they
both started to laugh. Unknown to the both of them Michelle watched them as
they left.
Misty walked down the church aisle wearing a beautiful white dress that
went towards te ground with thin straps. She was wearing high heels and had
her hair down which now went to her waist. The whole dress showed how her
body had developed. She was no longer a 'so called scrawny girl' like they
usued to call her. She was now a beautiful woman. When she reached the
altar she took Brock's hand. He smiled warmly at her and she smiled back.
"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today, to unite in holy matrimony
Brock Slate and Misty Waterflower." said the priest. "Do you Brock Slate
take Misty Waterflower, to be your lawfully wedded wife? To cherish and to
hold until death do you part?"
"I do"
"And do you Misty Waterflower take Brock Slate, to be your lawfully wedded
husband?" the priest asked once more.
"I do"
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." the priest
said. When Brock turned around Misty saw that it wasn't Brock, it was Ash.
Misty woke up with sweat all over her face. The dream had seen so real.
Brock looked so real to her. 'Oh Brock! Why did you leave me?!' Misty
thought as she burried her face in the pillow and sobbed. "I miss you so..."
Ash heard muffled sobs coming from his bedroom. He knew it was Misty. He
immediately ran towards his room and opened the door and saw Misty's head
buried in one of the pillows. Ash sat on the bed and placed his hand on her
arm. She lifted her body towards her left and saw Ash there with a concern
in his face. She threw herself in his arms. "What's wrong Mist. Why are you
crying?" Ash asked as he caressed her hair. "Oh Ash! I just had the
weirdest dream!" she said as she tried to control her sobs. "Tell me
Misty." Ash said quietly. "I was about to marry Brock. Everything was going
great until....until Brock turned around. Except that it wasn't Brock it
was... you." she said as she stopped crying. "Oh." was all Ash could say.
'I remember when I was just a kid. I used to dream of being Misty's
boyfriend, to get to kiss her everyday until I was breathless and then
start to kiss her again. I wanted to tell her how I felt back then. But I
knew she would laugh, slap me, tease me or insult me or even yell at me
making me feel bad.' he thought sadly as he held back his tears. Misty
buried her face in Ash's chest. 'I feel so secure with Ash. I feel so
protected in his arms. I wonder how things would've been if Ash and I
would've been a couple. I always dreamt of being held in his arms, kissed
and be with him when I needed someone to talk to about my darkest secrest
and fears. But all he cared about back then was being a Pokémon Master. As
time went by I knew my love for him was impossible.' she thought sadly.
Ash let go of the embrace. "Are you hungry Misty?" he asked still trying to
hold back his tears. " Yes, I am a little hungry." she replied. She
couldn't see Ash's face since the whole room was dark. The window was
closed and the lights were turned off. Misty placed her hand on top of his
but Ash removed his hand quickly and said "I'll go get us some pizza." he
said as he stood up and left the room. Ash left his house with his head
hanging low as his tears hit the pavement.
Ash woke up to find himself back in the age of 14 in a sleeping bag in the
middle of a forest with Misty, Brock and even Pikachu. Even more surprising
was that everything seemed to be normal. Brock was 19 and Misty 16 and
Pikachu seemed to be in perfect shape. Ash got up from his sleeping bag and
went to get changed. When he returned he found Misty feeding Togepi while
Brock was preparing breakfast. Ash sat next to Misty. 'This is your chance,
tell her how you feel.' he thought to himself. "Misty can we talk in
private?" he asked. "Sure Ash. Pikachu can you take care of Togepi?" she
asked the electric little mouse. "Pi" it said nodding it's head. Ash and
Misty walked away from the campsite. "Misty." he said as he stopped walking
and looked at her seriously. "I have to tell you something." he said.
Misty blinked. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing's wrong. I just wanna
tell you that I-I-I love you!" he said. Misty looked at Ash. There was
silence between the two. Ash bowed his head. 'She rejected me. She
doesn't...' Ash stopped thinking in mid sentence when all of a sudden Misty
started laughing her heart out. "Y-You...are...in..." she couldn't continue
her sentence she founded the whole aspect so funny. She then grabbed Ash's
hand and rushed back to the campsite. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi turned
around at the sound of laughter. "B-Brock... do...do you know what Ash just
said to me?!" said Misty between laughter again. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi
looked at each other. "He..he said... he said he's in love...with me!" said
Misty as she laughed non-stop. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi looked at each
other and started laughing non-stop like Misty was doing. They then started
pointing at Ash whom was surrounded in the middle of the circle that his
friends were making all around him. Ash covered his ears and fell to his
knees. "Stop it! Stop it it's not funny!" he kept taunting.
Misty walked down the stairs and saw Ash tossing and turning on the couch.
She immediately ran down the stairs towards the couch and shook Ash. "Stop
it! Please stop it!" he murmured in his sleep. Sweta ran down his forehead
and tears ran down his cheeks. Misty kept shaking him until he finally
reacted. "Ash are you alright?!" she asked frantically as he heart raced
faster every second. Ash woke up panting. When he clamed down he noticed
someone holding his right arm. He turned around and saw Misty staring at
him concerned. "Ash it's ok." she said caressing his cheek with the
backside of her fingers. Their eyes me. He quickly grabbed her hand and
took it away from his face. Misty hanged her head and said quietly "I was
just trying to help". She then got up and went to the kitchen to get
herself a glass of water. Ash got up and went towards her. Misty served
herself the water. She then grabbed the container and put it back in the
refrigerator. Ash then grabbed her arm and turned her her around so she
could face him. He then hugged her tightly. "Misty I'm sorry for the way I
treated you." he said to her. Misty's heart pumped as she rested he head
against his chest. And said "It's ok. I forgive you. But, Ash, please tell
me why were you rteating me so cold after I told you my dream?" Ash let her
go and hesitated to answer. "It;s because of the dream isn't it? Why Ash?
It was only a dream." Ash sighed and said "Misty, I also had a weird dream.
I dreamt we were kids again and everything seemed so perfect. I then
decided to tell you how..." he hesitated he just couldn't tell her. "Go on
Ash. It's not like I'm going to laugh or anything." she said. He sighed
again and said "I-I felt about you. I did and you laughed at me." he said.
"Oh Ash, I would never laugh at you." He looked at her seriously and said
"Oh. Then what about when we used to argue?!" she then looked at his eyes
which were filled with mischief instead of seriousness. "Well, if woudn't
have been born dense, I wouldn't have laughed at you. Thank god you're more
mature." she said throwing a spat. Ash taken a back said "Me?! If you
weren't so scrawny you would've had caught my eye at first sight!" he shot
back. Both now had their hands clenched in fists and looking angry at each
other. "What?! How dare you!" she shot back at him. "Well what do you want
me to say?! You're still a scrawny brat!" he shot at her. He then looked at
her figure which was encaserd in a white silk nightdress. He blushed. Misty
then started laughing. He then looked at her and fumed. "What's so funny?!"
"Oh I'm sorry Ash but, us arguing reminds me when we were kids." She then
looked down and said "It's too bad Brock dead I-" "Is Brock all you think
about?1 I'm sick and tired of hearing his name dammit!" he yelled at her.
She looked at his eyes and saw pure anger. She had never seen him like
that. "Ash I'm sorry I-" Misty's head tilted to the left. Misty touched her
right cheek. It hurt her. It hurt her a lot. Misty then started to pound
his chest with her fists as tears welled up and poured down he cheeks. Ash
grabbed Misty's arms and threw her to the carpet floor. Misty got up and
ran up the stairs. She ran to Ash's room, got dressed and packed her
things. When she finished Ash sat in the couch. Misty didn't say anything
to him she just walked past him. When she got to the door she was about to
grab the knob when Ash said " If you step out of that door, you're never
welcomed in this house again.". Misty sighed and turned around and saw the
cold expression in his face. They looked at each other for a few short
seconds until he went to her. He opened the door and grabbed her left arm
and shoved her out the door. After she was out he closed the door with a
slam. Misty dropped to her knees and clenched her hands into fists and
pounded the ground as she sobbed.
The next day Gary rang the doorbell of Ash's house. Ash answered the door
surprised to see Gary there. "Gary what are you doing here?" Gary smiled
and said "I came to see how you two were doing?" Ash got a questioning
look and then frowned. "If you're wondring how I'm doing I'm fine. But if
you're also wondering how Misty's doing, then go visit her at Brock and her
house." Gary then got serious and asked "What are you talking about? Wasn't
Misty going to stay with you until she recovered from the loss of Brock?".
Ash let Gary in and closed the door and sat on the couch to talk. "Brock,
Brock, Brock! That's all she talks about! It makes me sick! She's always,
"Brock and I this" or "Brock and I that" or she would start mourning over
the loss of him." Gary looked at him and said "I know a certain someone who
always mourned about the loss of his Pikachu." Ash's frown disappeared and
was replaced by one of sadness. "Why I remember that it took you almost a
year to get over his death." Gary paused and then continued "Remember how
Pikachu was killed Ash? Remember how you saw him scream in agony and pain?"
Ash clenched a fist and tried to hold his tears back. All the memories of
that incident were starting to replay in his mind.
Pikachu had gone off to visit Misty since Brock was out of town in a
Breeder Convention. Brock had told Misty that she couldn't come because
the invitation didn't say that he could bring anybody. So he had to go
alone. Ash couldn't visit Misty because he had to go to the supermarket and
buy food for him and Pikachu. Ash had come home early and was going to walk
inside the door until he saw a yellow creature across the street. "Hey
Pikachu! I bought some ketchup for you!" he called from the other side of
the street. Pikachu's ears perked up and he saw Ash at the other side. He
immediately ran through the street to ge to where Ash was. While running on
all fours he heard a car honk. Pikachu stopped and looked at the direction
of the honking sound. Pikachu's eyes widened as he froze in the middle of
the street. Ash's eyes widened "PIKACHU!!!!" he screamed at the top of his
lungs. Ash too, stayed frozen. He heard Pikachu scream in agony and in pain
as he saw the car hit the poor little creature. The owner of the car kept
driving. Ash didn't care about that. He cared if his long life companion
was alive. He took Pikachu in his arms and held him. There wasn't any blood
trail or anything red. Pikachu opened his eyes weakely and said "Pikapi"
and smiled as he closed his eyes for the last time.
Ash's tears fell down freely. "Pikachu." he whispered. Gary looked at him
and said " Now you know how she feels. It will be a while until she can
fully recuperate. Although I will warn you, when she does, she could
probably be a completly different person." Ash then remembered when he was
standing next to Misty when Brock was about to pass away. He remembered how
Misty cried when he left her forever. How she cried in his chest. Ash then
looked at Gary and said "You're right Gary. I'm going to her house right
now and apologize." Gary smiled. Both of them stood up, shook hands and
walked out the door.
When Ash reached Misty's house he ran the doorbell and waited. Finally a
few seconds later a butler opened the door. "May I help you sir?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for Misty. Is she home?" Ash asked. "Yes, she is. Come on
inside." Ash walked in the house which looked like a mansion. But it was
really just a normal house, but it was only bigger. "I'll go get her. By
the way, what is your name?" the butler asked. "Just tell her there's a
friend that would like to speak to her." Ash replied. The butler nodded.
" Excuse me, Mrs. Slate. There's someone downstars that would like to see
you." the butler said. Misty laid on her left side on the bed as she
caressed a picture of Brock and her on their honeymoon. "Who?" she asked.
"I don't know. He didn't mention his name." Misty, having her back towards
him sat up and looked at him. "What does he want?" she asked. "He said he
would like to speak to you." Misty got up and walked through the hall that
led to the stairs.
Ash heard footsteps and saw Misty coming down the stairs. Misty went to him
and asked "What are you doing here?" "Misty I came to apologize about my
behavior with you last night. I'm sorry for shoving you out and especially
yelling and slapping you." Ash finished as he raised his hand and caressed
her cheek. Misty closed her eyes and blushed a little. She then took his
hand and took it off her cheek. "How do I know you're just saying that know
and in the future you won't do it again?" she asked. "I promise you Mist, I
will never do anything to hurt you." he said. "Oh really? Then what about
last night? You yelled at me, You hit me, and then you shove me out of your
front door!" she said raising her voice. "And let's not forget you threw me
to the floor." she added. Ash then put his hands on both of her cheeks and
quickly kissed her. Misty opened her eyes in shock while kissing him. She
then closed her eyes and kept kissing him. Ash put her arms around her and
held her tightly. Misty did the same. Ash then started to kiss her neck.
"Ash..." Misty murmured. She then realised where he was going and broke
away from him. "Ash, this is wrong. I'm not- I mean- I" Misty was
speechless, she didn't know what to say to him. "I'm sorry Misty. I don't
know what came over me. I just had this urgue to kiss you and hold you. I
promise it will never happen again." he said seriously. He then paused and
asked "Will you still go with me to Seashell Island?" while holding her
right hand. "Yes, Ash." she said. Both of them looked at each others eyes
and started to lean towards each other. Their eyes closed. Both of their
lips only inches apart. "Excuse me Mrs. Slate, but a package just came for
you." said the butler interrupting their moment. Misty sighed. "Ok, I'll go
see what it is." she said to the butler. The butler then left. "Well, I
guess I better get going." Ash said as he turned to leave. Before he left
Misty turned his face with the tip of her fingers and kissed his cheek. Ash
then did the same in return. After Ash left Misty thought 'He loves me. He
really loves me.'

knew she would laugh, slap me, tease me or insult me or even yell at me
making me feel bad.' he thought sadly as he held back his tears. Misty
buried her face in Ash's chest. 'I feel so secure with Ash. I feel so
protected in his arms. I wonder how things would've been if Ash and I
would've been a couple. I always dreamt of being held in his arms, kissed
and be with him when I needed someone to talk to about my darkest secrest
and fears. But all he cared about back then was being a Pokémon Master. As
time went by I knew my love for him was impossible.' she thought sadly.
Ash let go of the embrace. "Are you hungry Misty?" he asked still trying to
hold back his tears. " Yes, I am a little hungry." she replied. She
couldn't see Ash's face since the whole room was dark. The window was
closed and the lights were turned off. Misty placed her hand on top of his
but Ash removed his hand quickly and said "I'll go get us some pizza." he
said as he stood up and left the room. Ash left his house with his head
hanging low as his tears hit the pavement.
Ash woke up to find himself back in the age of 14 in a sleeping bag in the
middle of a forest with Misty, Brock and even Pikachu. Even more surprising
was that everything seemed to be normal. Brock was 19 and Misty 16 and
Pikachu seemed to be in perfect shape. Ash got up from his sleeping bag and
went to get changed. When he returned he found Misty feeding Togepi while
Brock was preparing breakfast. Ash sat next to Misty. 'This is your chance,
tell her how you feel.' he thought to himself. "Misty can we talk in
private?" he asked. "Sure Ash. Pikachu can you take care of Togepi?" she
asked the electric little mouse. "Pi" it said nodding it's head. Ash and
Misty walked away from the campsite. "Misty." he said as he stopped walking
and looked at her seriously. "I have to tell you something." he said.
Misty blinked. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing's wrong. I just wanna
tell you that I-I-I love you!" he said. Misty looked at Ash. There was
silence between the two. Ash bowed his head. 'She rejected me. She
doesn't...' Ash stopped thinking in mid sentence when all of a sudden Misty
started laughing her heart out. "Y-You...are...in..." she couldn't continue
her sentence she founded the whole aspect so funny. She then grabbed Ash's
hand and rushed back to the campsite. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi turned
around at the sound of laughter. "B-Brock... do...do you know what Ash just
said to me?!" said Misty between laughter again. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi
looked at each other. "He..he said... he said he's in love...with me!" said
Misty as she laughed non-stop. Brock, Pikachu and Togepi looked at each
other and started laughing non-stop like Misty was doing. They then started
pointing at Ash whom was surrounded in the middle of the circle that his
friends were making all around him. Ash covered his ears and fell to his
knees. "Stop it! Stop it it's not funny!" he kept taunting.
Misty walked down the stairs and saw Ash tossing and turning on the couch.
She immediately ran down the stairs towards the couch and shook Ash. "Stop
it! Please stop it!" he murmured in his sleep. Sweta ran down his forehead
and tears ran down his cheeks. Misty kept shaking him until he finally
reacted. "Ash are you alright?!" she asked frantically as he heart raced
faster every second. Ash woke up panting. When he clamed down he noticed
someone holding his right arm. He turned around and saw Misty staring at
him concerned. "Ash it's ok." she said caressing his cheek with the
backside of her fingers. Their eyes me. He quickly grabbed her hand and
took it away from his face. Misty hanged her head and said quietly "I was
just trying to help". She then got up and went to the kitchen to get
herself a glass of water. Ash got up and went towards her. Misty served
herself the water. She then grabbed the container and put it back in the
refrigerator. Ash then grabbed her arm and turned her her around so she
could face him. He then hugged her tightly. "Misty I'm sorry for the way I
treated you." he said to her. Misty's heart pumped as she rested he head
against his chest. And said "It's ok. I forgive you. But, Ash, please tell
me why were you rteating me so cold after I told you my dream?" Ash let her
go and hesitated to answer. "It;s because of the dream isn't it? Why Ash?
It was only a dream." Ash sighed and said "Misty, I also had a weird dream.
I dreamt we were kids again and everything seemed so perfect. I then
decided to tell you how..." he hesitated he just couldn't tell her. "Go on
Ash. It's not like I'm going to laugh or anything." she said. He sighed
again and said "I-I felt about you. I did and you laughed at me." he said.
"Oh Ash, I would never laugh at you." He looked at her seriously and said
"Oh. Then what about when we used to argue?!" she then looked at his eyes
which were filled with mischief instead of seriousness. "Well, if woudn't
have been born dense, I wouldn't have laughed at you. Thank god you're more
mature." she said throwing a spat. Ash taken a back said "Me?! If you
weren't so scrawny you would've had caught my eye at first sight!" he shot
back. Both now had their hands clenched in fists and looking angry at each
other. "What?! How dare you!" she shot back at him. "Well what do you want
me to say?! You're still a scrawny brat!" he shot at her. He then looked at
her figure which was encaserd in a white silk nightdress. He blushed. Misty
then started laughing. He then looked at her and fumed. "What's so funny?!"
"Oh I'm sorry Ash but, us arguing reminds me when we were kids." She then
looked down and said "It's too bad Brock dead I-" "Is Brock all you think
about?1 I'm sick and tired of hearing his name dammit!" he yelled at her.
She looked at his eyes and saw pure anger. She had never seen him like
that. "Ash I'm sorry I-" Misty's head tilted to the left. Misty touched her
right cheek. It hurt her. It hurt her a lot. Misty then started to pound
his chest with her fists as tears welled up and poured down he cheeks. Ash
grabbed Misty's arms and threw her to the carpet floor. Misty got up and
ran up the stairs. She ran to Ash's room, got dressed and packed her
things. When she finished Ash sat in the couch. Misty didn't say anything
to him she just walked past him. When she got to the door she was about to
grab the knob when Ash said " If you step out of that door, you're never
welcomed in this house again.". Misty sighed and turned around and saw the
cold expression in his face. They looked at each other for a few short
seconds until he went to her. He opened the door and grabbed her left arm
and shoved her out the door. After she was out he closed the door with a
slam. Misty dropped to her knees and clenched her hands into fists and
pounded the ground as she sobbed.
The next day Gary rang the doorbell of Ash's house. Ash answered the door
surprised to see Gary there. "Gary what are you doing here?" Gary smiled
and said "I came to see how you two were doing?" Ash got a questioning
look and then frowned. "If you're wondring how I'm doing I'm fine. But if
you're also wondering how Misty's doing, then go visit her at Brock and her
house." Gary then got serious and asked "What are you talking about? Wasn't
Misty going to stay with you until she recovered from the loss of Brock?".
Ash let Gary in and closed the door and sat on the couch to talk. "Brock,
Brock, Brock! That's all she talks about! It makes me sick! She's always,
"Brock and I this" or "Brock and I that" or she would start mourning over
the loss of him." Gary looked at him and said "I know a certain someone who
always mourned about the loss of his Pikachu." Ash's frown disappeared and
was replaced by one of sadness. "Why I remember that it took you almost a
year to get over his death." Gary paused and then continued "Remember how
Pikachu was killed Ash? Remember how you saw him scream in agony and pain?"
Ash clenched a fist and tried to hold his tears back. All the memories of
that incident were starting to replay in his mind.
Pikachu had gone off to visit Misty since Brock was out of town in a
Breeder Convention. Brock had told Misty that she couldn't come because
the invitation didn't say that he could bring anybody. So he had to go
alone. Ash couldn't visit Misty because he had to go to the supermarket and
buy food for him and Pikachu. Ash had come home early and was going to walk
inside the door until he saw a yellow creature across the street. "Hey
Pikachu! I bought some ketchup for you!" he called from the other side of
the street. Pikachu's ears perked up and he saw Ash at the other side. He
immediately ran through the street to ge to where Ash was. While running on
all fours he heard a car honk. Pikachu stopped and looked at the direction
of the honking sound. Pikachu's eyes widened as he froze in the middle of
the street. Ash's eyes widened "PIKACHU!!!!" he screamed at the top of his
lungs. Ash too, stayed frozen. He heard Pikachu scream in agony and in pain
as he saw the car hit the poor little creature. The owner of the car kept
driving. Ash didn't care about that. He cared if his long life companion
was alive. He took Pikachu in his arms and held him. There wasn't any blood
trail or anything red. Pikachu opened his eyes weakely and said "Pikapi"
and smiled as he closed his eyes for the last time.
Ash's tears fell down freely. "Pikachu." he whispered. Gary looked at him
and said " Now you know how she feels. It will be a while until she can
fully recuperate. Although I will warn you, when she does, she could
probably be a completly different person." Ash then remembered when he was
standing next to Misty when Brock was about to pass away. He remembered how
Misty cried when he left her forever. How she cried in his chest. Ash then
looked at Gary and said "You're right Gary. I'm going to her house right
now and apologize." Gary smiled. Both of them stood up, shook hands and
walked out the door.
When Ash reached Misty's house he ran the doorbell and waited. Finally a
few seconds later a butler opened the door. "May I help you sir?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for Misty. Is she home?" Ash asked. "Yes, she is. Come on
inside." Ash walked in the house which looked like a mansion. But it was
really just a normal house, but it was only bigger. "I'll go get her. By
the way, what is your name?" the butler asked. "Just tell her there's a
friend that would like to speak to her." Ash replied. The butler nodded.
" Excuse me, Mrs. Slate. There's someone downstars that would like to see
you." the butler said. Misty laid on her left side on the bed as she
caressed a picture of Brock and her on their honeymoon. "Who?" she asked.
"I don't know. He didn't mention his name." Misty, having her back towards
him sat up and looked at him. "What does he want?" she asked. "He said he
would like to speak to you." Misty got up and walked through the hall that
led to the stairs.
Ash heard footsteps and saw Misty coming down the stairs. Misty went to him
and asked "What are you doing here?" "Misty I came to apologize about my
behavior with you last night. I'm sorry for shoving you out and especially
yelling and slapping you." Ash finished as he raised his hand and caressed
her cheek. Misty closed her eyes and blushed a little. She then took his
hand and took it off her cheek. "How do I know you're just saying that know
and in the future you won't do it again?" she asked. "I promise you Mist, I
will never do anything to hurt you." he said. "Oh really? Then what about
last night? You yelled at me, You hit me, and then you shove me out of your
front door!" she said raising her voice. "And let's not forget you threw me
to the floor." she added. Ash then put his hands on both of her cheeks and
quickly kissed her. Misty opened her eyes in shock while kissing him. She
then closed her eyes and kept kissing him. Ash put her arms around her and
held her tightly. Misty did the same. Ash then started to kiss her neck.
"Ash..." Misty murmured. She then realised where he was going and broke
away from him. "Ash, this is wrong. I'm not- I mean- I" Misty was
speechless, she didn't know what to say to him. "I'm sorry Misty. I don't
know what came over me. I just had this urgue to kiss you and hold you. I
promise it will never happen again." he said seriously. He then paused and
asked "Will you still go with me to Seashell Island?" while holding her
right hand. "Yes, Ash." she said. Both of them looked at each others eyes
and started to lean towards each other. Their eyes closed. Both of their
lips only inches apart. "Excuse me Mrs. Slate, but a package just came for
you." said the butler interrupting their moment. Misty sighed. "Ok, I'll go
see what it is." she said to the butler. The butler then left. "Well, I
guess I better get going." Ash said as he turned to leave. Before he left
Misty turned his face with the tip of her fingers and kissed his cheek. Ash
then did the same in return. After Ash left Misty thought 'He loves me. He
really loves me.'
