Chapter 2

Ash and Michelle raced the seventh hospital floor to find Gary in the end
of the hallway. Gary. The arrogant and annoying guy who always like to rub
it in Ash's face. After the Pokémon League had ended a few years back. Gary
saw how Ash was as a Pokémon Master. How he cared deeply for his Pokémon
like they were his children. They both had made peace back then and now
they remained as friends. Gary looked towards the direction where Ash and
Michelle were coming "Ash!" he called Ash finally stopped running and went
towards Gary "How is she?" asked Ash desperate to know what and how it had
happened. Gary looked at the floor and said "I don't know." he then looked
at Ash and said "All I know is that I went towards her house to see how she
was doing. I found the door half opened and I let myself in. I called her
but she didn't answer. I looked around then. I climbed the stairs and
looked everywhere except her bedroom. I opened the door and found her lying
on the carpet unconscious. I checked her pulse. It was very weak. I lifted
her and then I heard something fall. When I looked to see what it was I
found out it was......" Gary paused. "Found out it was what?!" asked Ash
frantically. Gary sighed and said "Clorox. She poisened herself with
Clorox." said Gary. Ash fell tears starting to well up in his eyes but
held them back. The doctor came out of the room Misty was in and said "Have
you told them what has happened?" he asked Gary. "Yes, I have. How is she
doing?". The doctor sighed and said "As you may know by now. The patient
intoxicated herself with Clorox. We took all of the Clorox out of her.
Sadly, we had to remove all her vital organs that is necessary for her to
have children." he said. Ash gulped and asked "Whe- when can I see her?"
"You can see her now if you wish. She can leave in three days." Ash only
nodded and entered. When he did he found Misty sleeping peacefully. Ash sat
in a chair beside her. He took her right hand into his and started sobbing.
"Misty. Why did you do it? Why did you want to kill yourself? Don't you
realize that you're important to me?!" he kissed her hand softly. He then
heard a soft moan. "Ash?" Ash grasped Misty's hand tighter. "Misty? Misty
can you hear me?!" asked Ash. Misty moved her head to look at Ash. "Where's
Brock?" Ash looked down and then looked at her and said "Misty, Brock's
dead, remember?"
"No, he's not."
"Yes, he is."
"No, he's not."
" Yes, he is."
"No, he's not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"He's's not!"
"He's too!"
Ash grabbed Misty's arms and shooked her and said "Misty, he's dead! He's
not coming back! Don't you understand?!" "You're lying!" Something got
into Ash. Something that he hardly ever felt. He was going to do something
that he had never done before. He slapped Misty. Misty looked away from
him. Tears welled up in her eyes. Ash looked at his hand. He had never done
such a thing before. Especially to Misty, whom was like his younger sister,
even though she was older than him. "Misty, I-" Ash tried to look for words
of apology but didn't find anything to say. "It's ok Ash." Misty said
quietly as she turned around to face him with tear stained cheeks. "I'm
such and idiot not wanting to accept things the way they are now." She sat
up and said "I'm sorry, I'm just-" She ws cut short by Ash giving her a
tight hug. His tears fell freely. Misty also cried. "I don't want to lose
you Misty. You're like my little sister and I promised Brock that I would
protect you. I'm not doing that because I feel obligated. I'm doing it
because I want to. I love you Misty. As a sister I love you." he finished
as he kissed her forehead. 'I'm not telling her anything about what the
doctor said that she couldn't have any kids. I'll wait until she is fully
capable of knowing.' he thought.


While Ash was inside with Misty, Gary decided to talk with Michelle "So,
what's your name?" he asked. "Michelle Reyes, and what would yours be?"
"Gary Oak." "Oh, so your Gary.I thought you were another Gary. I've heard
about you from Ash. By the way, what happened with Brock? And who's Misty?"
"Brock died from a serious heart stroke. Misty is Ash's only best friend
whom is still alive. In case you didn't know the three, Ash, Misty and
Brock were always together until Ash won the title of Pokémon Master, that
the three split up and went their separate ways. From what I heard about
Ash, Misty and Brock met again unexpeatedly in a trip to Europe. They were
seated next to each other and that's when the spark was lit. Misty and
Brock had fallen in love in the airplane hile they were talking. The next
thing they knew was that they were staying in the same hotel and they and
gotten a room next to each other. They got married a year later, when Brock
was 24 and Misty was 22." When Gary finished Michelle was astonished at
everything. " So that's why she tried to commit suicide. Where's Pikachu?
He's always haging around Ash." Gary shruged and said "That I don't know."
Ash then came out and said "Gary take Michelle to the nearest hotel. I'll
be staying with Misty until she is ready to leave. Michelle I'm sorry, I
wish you could stay at my house with me. But I decided to let Misty live
with me until she is fully recovered. You understand, don't you?" Michelle
was dissapointed but sighed and said "It's ok Ash, I understand." Ash
smiled, pecked her on the cheek, hugged her and said "Call me sometime ok?"
"Ok." "Ash if you want, I'll come by tomorrow morning and stay here with
Misty until you come back from changing clothes and stuff." said Gary.
"Thanks Gary." "Say Michelle, how did you meet with Ash and Brock?" asked
Gary. "I met them both in the airport. I was waiting for my boss whom was
coming from France. I was sent to pick him up when I met them. Brock had
asked me if I had seen a redhead. I suppose that must be Misty." she said.
"Yes, that's Misty." Ash said. "Well, I guess you'll meet her some other
time. Misty must be wondering why I'm taking so long." "Bye Ash."
Michelle said as Gary and her walked down the hallway.
