Now on with the story…..
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Cerulean Gym…
It was like any other day, the city around the gym was bustling, but it was quite peaceful once you entered the Waterflower's property. Mainly because of the huge land they had and the gym and living quarters were in the center, occupying only ⅓ of the property. There was also another new building, an aquarium, a large one at that, beside them, opened only few months ago by the gym leader, for their Pokémon and also open for public, which added quite money to the revenue.
The Waterflowers had become really well off after the elder three returned from their world tour and decided to advance in a particular career.
We have the eldest, Daisy Waterflower, a new and popular face in the filming industry as the most beautiful actress. Next we have, Violet Waterflower, a scriptwriter and director, also in the filming industry. Lily Waterflower, a now renowned model, a character with potential to bring a change in the modeling industry. Lastly, we have Misty Waterflower, the current gym leader, ranked second in the Indigo league after Sabrina.
Anyone on the outside would think that everything in this gym runs perfectly, and sure it does, but what they don't know are the feelings of the gym leader herself.
To Misty, it was like she was confined inside the gym. She felt trapped. Sure she enjoyed the company of her Pokémon and family, but that was all. She had really less human interaction. The only being with her sisters and their boyfriends. That's why she sometimes catched the train to Pallet Town. At least Delia was a really good company, as well as Prof. Sammy and Gary, whom she had become really good friends with.
Her everyday routine was simple. Wake up, freshen up, breakfast, battle challengers, lunch, train, dinner, sleep. Easy Peasy, but awfully boring and frustrating. To her sisters, it was like Misty had become a walking dead.
And to this Daisy had become really worried. It was like her sister was going to go insane. Daisy was home everyday at night, due to the production house in their city, and had been watching Misty for quite some time now. And so we join her now in the Waterflower living room.
Daisy is sitting on the couch watching the TV, Violet is out with her boyfriend because he doesn't have that much time and Lily is sitting beside her reading the latest PokéNow Magazine. Misty was battling in the gym.
The programs were really boring, and she was just changing channels.
"These are so boring…..", Daisy said, bored out.
"Then switch it off and go call your boyfriend or something." Lily said, annoyed.
"But he is checking up on our Pokémon.", Daisy replied.
"At least he is here.", Lily said softly, which didn't go unnoticed by Daisy. Long distance relationships were not easy to deal. But Dorian had said he wanted to become a gym leader. Seeing two of her sisters like this made her also sad.
"-and in another news, the competition for Water Pokémon Master is about to begin," the reporter said which caught the attention of both the sisters, "trainers will now begin their journey to collect five water tokens all across Kanto and Jhoto from various short tournaments. The trainers having all five will be able to participate in the Ocean league, conducted every four years. The winners would get a chance to battle the champion Lance, and become the Water Master. But it still remains a mystery as to what happened to the previous Master," Daisy flinched, "and the previous Pokémon Master. It's been more than ten years that both of them disappeared-"
The rest was cut off by Daisy switching it off. Ignoring the last part, something clicked in her mind and she turned to Lily, who was already looking at her.
"You know," Daisy started, "its quite overdue now."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"Do you want to live with your boyfriend?" Daisy asked straightforwardly.
Lily blushed, "Wha-"
She was cut off by Daisy, "You can. I have an idea, which would result in collective good for us all."
Three days later…
*Bell ringing sound*
The gym door opened and the figure stepped inside, dressed in casual clothes, only to be tackled in a hug by Lily.
"Dorian!" Lily cheered, "I missed you so much!"
To say Dorian was happy, was an understatement. In fact, he was on cloud 9 right now.
"I missed you too Lily!" Dorian said excitedly, dropping his luggage, encircling her around the waist.
They parted and kissed each other, after a long time.
"I am so happy right now!" Dorian said.
"Oh my God! We are going to live together now!" Lily exclaimed.
"Right!? My other things are gonna arrive in a day. And my official day is starting tomorrow."
"I am so happy for you. But let's not forget about sis. Let's go, they are waiting for us." Lily said leading Dorian.
They arrived in the living room where everyone was. Misty and Daisy were sitting on the couch and Tracey was standing behind it. Beside the couch was a single sofa on which Jack Walker, Violet's boyfriend, was sitting and Violet was sitting on its arm.
"Hey everyone!" Dorian greeted everyone.
"Hey Dorian."
"Dorian?" Misty asked, seemingly the most and only one confused in the room. "What are you doing here?"
He grinned, "Helping my future in-laws."
Lily blushed and hid herself behind him.
"Huh?" Was the only sound that came from Misty's mouth.
Daisy smiled, "Now Dorian, I want you to sign this document." She said pointing the folder. Dorian picked it up and started going through it while Lily went to the kitchen to fetch some drinks.
"Will someone tell me what is going on here?" Misty asked.
Dorian signed the document and handed it over to Daisy.
"Patience Misty. Now I want you to sign here." Daisy said, pointing the paper and handing over the pen.
Lily came out of the kitchen and handed over everybody's drinks.
"But-" Misty tried to argue.
"Just do it." Daisy insisted.
"Fine." Misty took the pen and signed it, handing it over to Daisy.
Daisy looked at it and smiled. She turned to Misty and started, "Misty, you are hereby discharged of your duty as the gym leader-"
"What!?" Misty exclaimed in shock.
"-and now, Dorian is assigned as the new gym leader starting tomorrow. You are going to participate in the upcoming championship for Water Master and become one. You are going on a journey to make your dream come true."
Misty's eyes widened. Was she hearing things right? Is this a dream?
"But what about-"
"Misty," Jack started, "You are one of the most talented water trainers out there. You yourself say to everyone they should make their dreams come true. Then what about yours? Your sisters have realized what they have done and want to make things right. Make your dream come true."
"But-"
"Our father was the previous Water Pokémon Master." Daisy said.
Everyone's head snapped to look at Daisy. This was the most shocking revelation Misty would have heard about her family, after her finding out about her aunt.
"What are you saying?" Violet asked.
"Yeah," Tracey began, "and the previous Water Master's name was Daniel and your father's name is-"
"My father's name was William Daniel Waters." Daisy said, "And he would have wanted Misty to fulfill her dream that Misty promised to him years ago. So Misty, take your rightful place now. We are insisting. I know you are likely to go insane if you stay here anymore. That's why I talked to Lance with the help of Prof. Oak and asked Dorian to come here."
"Yep Misty, you can count on me." Dorian said. "I will not the gym down."
"And I've talked to Prof. Oak, Misty. He encourages this decision too. And he wants you to meet him before you set off on your journey." Tracey said.
"We are sorry Misty for holding you back for five years." Lily apologized.
"Yeah baby sis, so go on now. Make your dream come true." Violet said.
Misty's eyes filled with tears. She tackled Daisy into a hug and started crying. "Thank you so much!" *Hic* "I am so happy."
Daisy smiled and hugged her back. She also started crying. The other two also joined them.
"We are sorry sis."
The three boys looked at each other and smiled.
The next morning…
"Are you all set Misty?" Daisy asked.
The family was at the railway station to catch the bullet train to Pallet. Kanto had become developed now, with highways, railways and infrastructure, thanks to Sabrina and Misty talking some sense into Lance. It was Sabrina's idea actually. Saffron was now the capital city of Kanto region. Although, Celadon was most populated, more than Castelia in Unova but still less than Lumiose City. Every major city was now really developed.
"Yes I am!" Misty replied. She was really excited now. She was finally free!
"And your Pokémons?" Lily asked.
"Mmhmm, I have Gyarados, Starmie, Psyduck and Seadra." Misty said counting her fingers.
"I have informed Prof. Oak that you would be arriving there by afternoon." Tracey said.
"Thanks Tracey!"
*DingDing*
"The train no.19 bound for Pallet is about arrive. Passengers please make your way to platform 2. Thank you for your cooperation."
*DingDing*
"That's my cue guys." Misty said, "I'm gonna miss you all."
Her sisters hugged her one last time.
"We'll miss you too." Violet said.
They parted and Misty turned to leave, "Bye guys!"
"Bye!"
They watched Misty disappear in the croud.
Finally, Lily turned to Daisy, "We're gonna have a long chat sis when we reach home."
"Yeah, I feel like you are hiding much more than the revelation yesterday." Violet said.
Daisy gulped.
With Misty…
Finally! Misty thought, I am gonna be the best now. Thank you everyone. Thank you my Pokémons. Thank you Dad, Mom, Grandmother, Aunt. Thank you…Ash. I will not let you all down.
"The train is arriving."
Misty stepped on the train and went to her seat. She put her sling bag in the above space.
Her journey was about to start. She wondered what kind of surprised she'd get.
"M-Misty?" the passenger next to her said.
She turned to see them her eyes widened. Well, at least this confirms there would be a lot of surprises.
"Georgio?"
