Right I understand many will have been confused about the ending of 'Things change', but it will be explained later on in the story if you don't follow. If you have not seen the story and you have just come across this then I recommend that you read 'Things change' as you may be a bit confused as to what is going on. Anyway please enjoy.
The sleeping figure gracing the bed stirred as the warm morning Sun shone through the window. The graceful delicate body slowly moved around until it sat up. Then covers slid off the soft body of the young girl as she emitted a soft yawn. The girl stretched her arms out as she yawned. The orange haired girl looked over to the empty space next to her and let out a sad sigh. The teenager rubbed her bloodshot eyes and slid out of bed. The girl moved over to her wardrobe and pulled the doors open. As she scanned the clothing on her hangers she shrugged her shoulders and chose the same clothing she always did.
The sad girl removed the clothing that had held her tight and kept her warm and let them hit the floor. She then reached for her usual yellow shirt and shorts. The girl put on her yellow top and slid on her tight blue shorts. She then reached for the straps attached to her shorts and did them up. The girl walked over to her and stared at her reflection she eyed her orange hair done into a side ponytail. She looked at her beautiful figure and good stature.
Her eyes were then drawn to her bloodshot eyes once again caused by the lack of her lover.
Misty sighed and walked out of her bedroom. The girl walked along the corridor alone with no hand to be accompanied with her own. Misty kept walking to her kitchen where she was greeted with the usual over-zealous behaviour. The girl saw the same thing she always did. Smiles that were there to make her happy. They did not. A hand reached out with a cup of warm coffee for the orange haired girl to have.
She sat down and pulled her coffee to her lips and softly sipped it. Her sisters sat in an uncomfortable silence as once again their youngest sister did not talk to them. Lily looked over to her sister Violet and exchanged looks of sympathy. Daisy nervously watched her usually bubbly sister just sit there. Ever since the little sparrow's heart was taken away it could no longer sing. The girl placed her cup down on the table and left her sisters in silence. The girl kept on walking until she reached her bedroom and opened the door.
Misty fell back onto her bed and let out a sigh. She stared at the ceiling above her. She noticed that she hadn't done that in a long time. The sense of longing was beginning to overwhelm her as it did every day. The girl stood to her feet and went to change into her one piece barthing suit so she could go off into the pool in the gym. As she entered the area she saw various water Pokemon dancing and swimming in the pool with glee. She envied their happiness, but she was happy that some people were ok.
A little Poliwag that had been bouncing around the pool jumped over the Misty and into her hands. Misty smiled sincerely at the little tadpole Pokemon gave it a soft kiss on the forehead before letting it jump back into the water to play with the other Pokemon. Misty figured that the gym would be too busy a place to meditate on her thoughts so she chose the lake outside instead to rest.
The orange haired girl made her way to the Cerulean Lake near the gym. She hoped that today she wouldn't have to bump into any litter that people may have thrown in. Misty stood on the ridge and gracefully dived into the waters below her. Misty then rose to the surface to breath and softly swam around the lake. Misty chose to use the backstroke technique knowing it's the most relaxing move. Misty let out a soft sigh as she swam backwards
As she swam backwards she felt her body bump into something. Misty let out a sigh of annoyance knowing that once again someone had felt the need to dump rubbish into the lake. As she turned her body to get a better look at it she saw it was not rubbish but rather an upturned body. Misty let out an ear piercing scream and swam as fast as she could to the ledge of the lake. Misty pulled herself out of the water and rolled onto her back letting out gasps of exhaustion.
The terrified girl lied down on the ground for a while trying to regain her composure. After gaining her breath back she stood to her feet and turned to get the police, yet there was something holding her back. She felt something telling her to go to the body and against every other part of her telling her to run, she went over to the body. Misty carefully swam over to the body and turned it over. Misty could not get a good look at the face as it was soaked in dry blood and dirt.
She saw the body was naked aside from some shorts, but from what she could see about the body was not good. The body looked weak and drained of life. Just looking at the greyed frail body made her feel so sympathetic. She took hold of the body and dragged it along the water over to the edge of the lake. She pulled as hard as she could until the person was out. She laid the person on their back and pressed their chest fifteen times and then breathing into their mouth.
Misty did not mind about giving cpr to the bloodied dirty face as something was spurring her onto doing it. Something made her want to do it. She kept doing this until the body spat out water that had been clogging its lungs. Misty waited for the boy's eyes to flutter open, but nothing happened. She had almost given up hope until she heard a faint breathing and the sight of the unconscious boy's chest rising and falling. She let out a sigh of relief and carried the body over to the Cerulean Gym.
She remembered her sisters would be in so she went round to her bedroom and luckily the window was open. She then widened the window and pushed the boy into her room and climbed in after him. Misty the grabbed the boy and carried him into her bathroom and laid him into the bath tub, then without embarrassment, removed the shorts leaving the body naked. The girl turned the taps to released hot water while pouring the some bath soap into the tub
She picked up a sponge and dipped it into the bath. Misty then wiped the sponge across the torso of the boy. The warm water dripped down the grey chest and cleaned off the dirt and dry blood. She then washed the rest of the mess on the boy's body before grabbing a bottle of shampoo and mixing it with water to wash the boy's mattered hair. When Misty was satisfied with her' make over' she let the water rush out and pulled the boy out of the bath and dried him off.
Misty carried the body over to her bed and laid him softly down. She then went over to her wardrobe and took out a spare pair of men's boxers that she had. As she walked over to the boy she pulled them on to his body and noticed they were a perfect fit. The boy's eyes weakly opened to see his surroundings Misty then looked harder at the frail face before her and started to wonder. She saw that she had forgotten to clean his face and went off to get the wet sponge. She came back quickly and slowly wiped the sponge across the boy's face removing the grime.
"Misty" the boy muttered.
Misty then dropped the sponge in shock and let out a gasp of surprise. Almost immediately the girl's eyes well up and she threw her arms around the boy's neck and kissed his hungrily. The pressed her weight onto the boy and held him close. Misty pressed her tongue lovingly against Ash's lips. She waited for the lips to open, but not sensing that was going to happen she pushed her tongue in. 'Shy as always Ash' thought Misty. As Misty was getting into the make out session that she had longed for she felt something was not quite right. Ash had not even put his arms around her. She looked into his eyes and pulled away.
"Ash are you ok?" Misty asked concerned.
"M-Misty" Ash muttered again.
"Yes that's my name" said Misty smiling "But what is wrong Ash?"
Ash just looked down at his hands blankly and looked at Misty again and merely repeated her name. Misty could see that there was so much he wanted to tell her, but he couldn't. Misty wrapped her arms around Ash and gave him soothing words.
2 years ago
Misty opened the door to the gym to see Ash standing next a man in a black robe. The man next to Ash had spiky fiery hair and odd markings on his cheeks. Misty had come out to see what was taking Ash so long to take out the rubbish. Misty just looked at the spectacle before her with confusion. As she was wondering about the situation Brock, Dawn and Misty's sister came out to find Misty. They too saw the odd sight.
"Ash is that guy with who I think he is with?" Misty asked hesitantly.
"Sorry Misty, but I'm going to join Team Rocket. I suggest you find yourself another boyfriend" Ash said bluntly.
As Ash spoke those words a large verti-bird hovered over the two new members of Team Rocket it lowered and opened its hatch door to allow the two recruits to enter the plane. And like that it took off with Misty's heart. The orange haired girl fell to the ground weakly and sobbed.
"I don't care what you did Ash. I will always love you no matter what and that's all that matters" Misty whispered to Ash.
The frail boy looked pathetically up at Misty and just stared at her. Misty returned the stare with a warm smile and then kissed his lips softly. Misty froze when she heard the door open. She slowly pulled her lips away from Ash's to see the face of her shocked sister Lily. The girl looked in confused at why her sister was kissing a frail greyed boy. Then as she looked harder she began to piece it all together.
"Oh my goodness! Ash?" Lily asked.
"Yes it is ok. Please keep your voice down. I can't let anyone else know about this" Misty said trying to calm Lily down.
"I'm sorry Misty, but Ash is wanted by the police. I have to tell the authorities, besides he betrayed us and he betrayed you" Lily said.
Misty looked down at Ash who was rested in her lap. The weak boy was looking up at Misty hopelessly. Misty felt an urge to protect her lover, even if it meant breaking up her family she would do it. Just for him. For once being the forgotten sister was going to come in handy.
"If you tell them about Ash I'll tell Daisy about you having sex with Tracy behind her back" Misty said darkly.
Lily was about to leave the room when she froze at what Misty had just said to her. 'How did she? No she couldn't have known. She's bluffing' thought Lily confidently. She turned to face her orange haired sister and stood strong.
"Oh really and if I did how would you know about that if it did happen then?" Lily asked triumphantly.
"Maybe it's because I'm the sister that everyone forgets about. And maybe that's why when you called out to see if Violet or Daisy were home, but not me. Then you went about seducing Tracy and then having loud sex with him which I have scarred into my head. 'Oh Tracy, do that again harder oh yes!'" mimicked Misty
"Like Daisy would believe you anyway" Lily retorted.
"Yeah because this really sounds like the kind of thing I would make up" Misty snapped back.
Lily had been backed into an uncomfortable position. She could either tell the police like she should and then be killed by Daisy or she could keep it secret and get in trouble afterwards. 'Wait I could pretend I knew nothing about it. Oh but then Misty would tell on me if I didn't support her. Wait a minute.' Lily thought as the gears turned in her little head 'Maybe no one needs to find out Ash is here after all' thought Lily cunningly.
"Alright fine you keep that a secret and I'll help keep this a secret by not letting our sisters near your room without a warning first" Lily said smiling.
"Thanks" said Misty giving Lily a warm smile.
Lily then turned around and left the room careful to close the door behind her. Misty then looked down at the fragile boy resting on her lap. Unsurprisingly, with Ash's current fragile state, he had gone to sleep. Misty smiled at him and carefully laid the boy on the bed and rested his head onto a pillow. Misty then climbed into bed with Ash and pulled the covers up to them. The orange haired girl snuggled up to her lover and held him tightly. She let out a soft yawn and drifted off.
After having the best sleep she had had in a while Misty opened her eyelids to be met by a sleeping figure in front of her. Misty was happy that Ash was still with her, in bed and safe in the walls of her bedroom. Misty felt Ash start to stir as he woke up. The boy weakly opened his eyes and spoke the same word he always did.
"M-Misty" he muttered.
Misty sighed and kissed Ash tenderly on the forehead. 'I guess we should check out the old rocket base for answers of Ash's condition' thought Misty. The orange haired girl reluctantly climbed out of bed and put her clothes on. She went over to the wardrobe and saw the clothes Ash had unpacked before he left for Team Rocket. This was one of the reasons Misty clung onto that Ash didn't betray her. 'Why would he unpack and leave all his clothes here only to leave us for Team Rocket?' thought Misty.
She took out some clothes and realised that she would have to clothe Ash for him as he appeared to have no understanding of the particular concept. Ash seemed to be uncomfortable during the process which Misty found depressing considering their relationship together. 'Does he remember me? No he must he knows my name after all' Misty thought confidently.
After changing Ash into more suitable outdoor clothes, she then led Ash out hand in hand from her room into the pool area. As they were entering Misty saw her sisters enter the room, but thankfully Lily expertly convinced them to go and see her jewellery in her bedroom. Misty walked over to her Pokemon and some of the new ones Ash gave her to look after, after Meyd died Misty chose six Pokemon that she might need along with six Pokemon for Ash if he could use them that is.
Misty led Ash carefully out of the gym and she hurried them over to the cave linking Pewter city and Cerulean City. She then led Ash out of the sight of the public so as to not arose suspicion. They then made their way through Viridian forest and finally to Viridian City Misty stood outside the gym that had yet to find a replacement gym leader. She noted that fact from the vacant sign hanging on the door. Misty nervously opened the door and found nothing but darkness.
"Wait if no one is running the gym then why is the door unlocked then?" she asked herself.
The answer came in the sound of a monotone voice.
"Simple, because I opened it".
Right sooo sorry for the delay, but I've started university and freshers and first week of lectures
