Dear Ash, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi,
I know you think I'm just a burden, so I'm leaving. I'm sorry if this causes you any unnecessary stress. I'm going to be going back to my old life, before I met you. I know Togepi is really yours so please take good care of him. I love him, and if word that you've mistreated him reaches me, I'll get back at you. I hope you get to achieve you're dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.
Brock, keep up taking care of Ash, and the others. And please know that I'll miss you're cooking and guidance. You've been like a big brother to me. Thank you.
Pikachu, you've been a pika-pal all this time. You've kept Ash and me from killing each other many times. You've shown me that pokémon can be more human like than some humans. Have fun Thunder-shocking Team Rocket next time you see them.
Togepi, it's time you started listening to Ash. He's really the one who should be training you. And I also think that you should know that I really am not your mother. I just happened to be a very lucky person. I'm sure Pikachu or Ash will tell you all about it, when you want to know.
I've got to go now, before I decide to stay. I just want all of you to know that I'll be all right. And who knows maybe will see each other again. Some day. Ash keep an eye out for me when you enter the Pokémon league. I want you to know I won't miss it for the world.
Yours forever,
Misty
"Brock, I can't believe she's really gone." Ash said once again. It'd been almost a year since Misty had left the small group, and Ash had missed her every day since than. "I knew I should have told her that I was sorry for missing her birthday. I knew I should have gotten her a belated gift, instead of yelling at her about birthdays being dumb. I don't even believe that. I was just so angry at her…" Ash trailed off again. Brock just nodded his head. They'd had this conversation at least once a week. Ash had practically given up his dream until he realized that Misty would be at the stadium waiting to see him enter the ring, once again, trying for the title of Master.
Ash entered the arena and looked around. He knew she was sitting there somewhere. Watching every move, he made. Pikachu and Brock were standing right next to Ash. Ash felt drawn to one spot of the stadium. He couldn't see Misty, but he knew she was there, just like she'd promised a year ago.
