Rating: T
Side note: This fanfic is a little different than my other Pokémon one. Just use your imagination for the Narrator and such. AND if you have any ideas and suggestions then please R&R. Thanks and enjoy the show! :D
Narrator: The story starts off when Ash Ketchum finally reaches the end of his Pokémon journey with his trusted Pokémon and best friend Pikachu.
Ash: Look Pikachu its Pallet Town!
Pikachu: *eyes glistering with excitement* Pika!
Ash: *leans against a tree on a hill looking over his home town* It feels like we haven't been here in ages Pikachu.
Pikachu looks up at Ash and tilts its head.
Ash looks down at Pikachu and notices the autumn leaves rustling on the ground.
Ash: Pikachu, remember the first time we met?
Pikachu: Pika? *Pikachu looks at Ash a bit confused*
Ash: *smiling* Yeah same here buddy, it was so long ago.
Pikachu: Pi Pikachu *smiles at Ash and picks up an orange coloured leaf and shows it to him*
Ash: Hm? What is it Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika Pi *frantically waves the leaf in front of Ash*
Ash: *makes a confused face then smiles* Yeah Pikachu the leaves are pretty this time of year.
Pikachu falls over in disbelief and quickly gets up to Ash's backpack searching for something.
Ash: Uh Pikachu?
As Ash reaches his bag, Pikachu pulls out a fishing lure.
Ash notices it was a lure from his best friend Misty.
Ash: *smiling* Oh now I get it!
Pikachu: *replies happily* Pika.
Ash: Yea, I remember when we first met Misty; it was the very same day that I met you Pikachu
Pikachu: *nods* Pika
Ash: We were pretty weird back then weren't we? *smiling*
Pikachu: Pi *half smiles at Ash*
Ash: *laughing* C'mon Pikachu let's go home.
Pikachu: Pika!
Ash and Pikachu race down the hill towards his home, right in front of the fence to his house, when suddenly a Mr. Mime comes right in front of them.
CRASH
Ash and Pikachu fall backwards along with Mr. Mime.
Ash: Ow, what hit me? *shakes his head trying to recover from the crash*
Pikachu: Pika pi *Pikachu also shakes its head*
They both look up and see a Mr. Mime standing in front of them.
Ash: Mr. Mime?
Pikachu: Pika?
Mr. Mime: Mime?
At that moment Ash's mother comes running out of the house.
Ash's Mom: Mr. Mime what was that noise?
Ash and Pikachu stand up, and when they notice Ash's mom coming towards them, they start to smile.
Ash's mom realizes what the crash was about.
Ash's mom: Ash?
Ash: Hi mom long time.
Ash's mom: Yea it has been a long time, you grew taller *suddenly shakes her head in frustration* Oh why didn't you tell me you were coming back!
Ash and Pikachu jump back in surprise
Ash: Well… I…
Ash's mom: *still frustrated* get inside! *pointing towards the house*
Ash: Okay! *Ash and Pikachu run inside half scared*
Ash's mom: Sit down on the couch! *pointing angrily at the couch*
Ash: gulp *Ash and Pikachu sit down on the couch slowly*
Ash's mom: *trying to calm herself* you now that I don't like surprises Ash, you should have called earlier.
Ash: I'm sorry mom I wanted it to be a surprise
Ash's mom: *sighing* oh alright, but what are you doing here anyways Ash?
Ash got up with excitement.
Ash: Mom you wouldn't believe it, but I actually finished my Pokémon journey!
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu! *Pikachu jumps up with excitement*
Ash's mom: That's great Ash! Can I see your latest badges?
Ash: Um, yeah sure. *takes out his badge case and gives it to her*
Ash's mom opens the case.
Ash's mom: Wow, they sure are beautiful!
Ash: They sure are, right Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika *nodding in agreement*
Ash's mom heads to a small shelf on the corner of the living room.
Ash: Um mom?
Ash's Mom: This is where I stored your other badges that you collected in your journey. And the awards you've won. I call it Ash's Corner! *smiles happily*
Ash: *blushing* um thanks I guess.
Ash heads over to his collection of badges, and looks over them with pride until he looks at two badges.
He picks up these badges and thinks hard.
Pikachu: Pika? *Pikachu looks up at Ash confused*
Ash still holding these badges, turns to Pikachu.
Ash: Pikachu buddy, our adventure is not over yet.
Pikachu: Pika?
Ash: C'mon let's go.
Ash's mom: Stop right there!
The two friends froze in position.
Ash's mom: You are not going anywhere Ash Ketchum. You just got here, and besides it's late. You can skip dinner tonight, but I want you to go straight to bed.
Ash: But mom!
Ash's mom: No buts go! *pointing upstairs*
Ash: Oh alright.
As the two friends head upstairs towards Ash's room, Ash sits down on his bed, not noticing the décor.
Pikachu comes over to Ash's side and sits down beside him.
Ash looks up at the darkening sky filled with different shaped clouds, through the window beside his bed.
Ash: You know what Pikachu? I have a feeling that a brand new adventure is about to start.
Pikachu: Pika? *seemingly looks at Ash confused, then looks up at the clouds*
Narrator: Ash looks back through the memories of his adventures with different friends and rivals never regretting any memories he made, and the fun he had. As Ash recalls his adventures with different friends and foes alike, we direct our attention to Misty back at Cerulean City Gym, as she is about to close up the gym for the day.
Misty: And that's that. *she sighs with relief as she puts up the closed sign for the gym*
As Misty turns around she sees her sister Daisy watching her silently.
Misty: Um Daisy are you okay?
Daisy smiles and tilts her head.
Daisy: You know Misty, you sure like grown a lot lately.
Misty was taken aback.
Daisy: oh don't worry about it; I was like, you know, like complementing you.
Misty: Um thanks, I guess.
Daisy: Your welcome, *a thought came to Daisy* oh and it's your turn to clean the pool.
Misty falls over in disbelief.
Misty: What do you mean it's my turn?! I cleaned it yesterday!
Daisy: Um yea, but that was before we came back from our vacation, Misty.
Misty: *getting annoyed* That was yesterday! And when do I go on a vacation, it's just not fair!
Daisy: Oh Misty, it's completely fair you know. Like we are the beautiful sensational sisters that deserve a vacation every now and then, and you, well like, you're just a regular gym leader.
Misty falls backwards in disbelief, again.
Daisy starts to walk away laughing.
Misty: Hey wait a minute! *Misty yells back at her sister still annoyed*
Daisy: Don't worry about it; you can like do it tomorrow. *yells back at Misty and disappears from view*
Misty: Oh you. *she replies angrily*
As Misty makes her way back to her room, a sudden memory comes to her.
Misty: Ash, I hope you're okay. *she says a bit worried*
When she entered her room she went through her end of day ritual. (Like taking a shower, brushing her teeth and hair, you know the routine) As she climbed into bed in her pajamas, she took out a coral leaf notebook from under her pillow, and started to write.
Dear Diary,
Today was another regular day here at the gym. Oh you know the usual: waking up to feed the Pokémon; trying to get Psyduck to swim (even though he's getting better at it); getting challenged by different trainers ; and being bossed around by my sisters, especially Daisy. Like she acts as though she owns the world. No surprise given the fact that she gets everything! It's just not fair!
To be honest just a few minutes ago something different happened. Nothing big, but right before I came inside my room, I thought of Ash. It was so random; it even caught me off guard. I just hope whatever he's doing, he ends up safe. I don't really mind if I don't see him again, but if I did I wouldn't know what to say. Or how to react. Whenever it may be I know that things won't be the same again. Until the day comes, I hope I'll see you again Diary.
You're Friend,
Misty
