Rainy Days

Rainy Days

Done in Misty's POV.

I looked out the window of my room and watched the rain pour down, hard and steadily. I wiped a tear away from my eye, remembering Ash. It's been 2 years since I left Ash and Tracey. I'm 19 now and I live on Aquaria Island, famous for housing every water pokemon known. I missed traveling around the Orange Islands with them. I mostly missed Ash. I bet Ash doesn't miss me. He has someone else now.

I don't know what happened to them after I left. I never did find out. I wondered if they broke up. Probably not…… I miss Ash……..

~~~~**Flashback**~~~~

"Come on Misty!" cried Ash, " What is taking you so long in there?"

I poked my head out the door. " I'm almost done!" I end up looking straight at his face. I really hoped I wasn't blushing. I closed the door and finished putting all my stuff away. I picked up Togepi and gave her a snack real fast.

I walked out the door and saw Tracey and Ash talking to this girl. I had to admit she was beautiful. She had long blue hair, which she let down and green eyes. She had on a pink mini skirt and a red T-shirt. Ash and Tracey had on those in love looks. I got into ear shot and listened on.

"……Ok…… I'll join you guys. It's awfully lonely traveling by myself," she said in a sweet voice, looking directly at Ash. Ash blushed a dark red. I felt myself getting angry and jealous at this girl.

" Ash……..Tracey……. I'm ready," I said impatiently.

" Who are you?" said Tracey, still in a trance.

"Tracey!!!!" I yelled. I then banged my mallet on his head.

" Oww……. Sorry Misty….."

" This is Mina. Mina, this is Misty," introduced Ash.

" Hi," said Mina, not turning away from Ash.

" Hi," I said in the same tone, glaring hard at her. I knew then she would cause some trouble. I just didn't know how much trouble.

~~~~**End of Flashback**~~~~

I felt something tugging at my pants. I looked down, pulling back my hair, which I have grown long and kept down. Togechikku looked back up at me holding out my locket. I smiled at her, then sighed taking the locket. Togechikku looked at me, sensing something was wrong.

"Toge? Togechi? Chiku!" cried Togechikku as she bounded into my lap. I smiled and rubbed her head. She cooed in my lap. I opened the locket, looking at the two pictures that were in there. One I side had Ash, Brock, and me. On the other side was a picture of Tracey, Ash, and I. I got the picture with Brock the day before we went to visit Professor Ivy. The picture with Tracey in it was taken when we visited Melissa and helped her look for the crystal onix. I looked at Ash in both pictures. He smiled back at me, his joy shining through. I closed my locket, wiping away the beginnings of more tears. I looked at Togechikku, who had been playing with my hair as she sat in my lap. The day Togepi evolved was the day my heart broke in two.

~~~~**Flashback**~~~~

I had just found out Togepi had some attacks. She knew Metronome, Sing, Mimic, Disable and other attacks. I started to use Togepi in battles too. The trainers I battled against always let their guard down. They were either admiring her cuteness or laughing at her because she didn't look like the battling sort of Pokemon. I was proud of her, because she never lost. Ash decided to take a break and got into a discussion with Tracey and Mina, who had recently joined our group. I told Ash that I was going out to look for some wild pokemon. I knew he didn't hear me, he was talking to Mina. Pikachu jumped onto my shoulder.

" Pika Pi!" I'm coming with you, Ash won't battle anymore……..

We had barely reached the clearing when a blue, lizard-like pokemon walked out of the forest. I took out my Pokedex (which I recently got from Professor Oak) and pointed it at the little pokemon.

Totodile: The water pokemon. This pokemon is often used as the beginning pokemon for new trainers in the Orange Islands. It is very rare to find in the wild.

" Oh wow! A water pokemon! I'm going to catch it! Go Togepi!" I let Togepi walk out of my hands and up to Totodile. Totodile looked at little Togepi and started to laugh.

" Togepi! Use your Sing attack!" Togepi started to sing in a soft voice. Totodile eyes started to droop and Totodile fell asleep.

" Pokeball go!" Totodile turned into a red light and was zapped into the pokeball. The pokeball wiggled a couple of times then stopped.

" Yes! I caught Totodile!" I ran up to Togepi to give her a hug but she started to glow.

" Toge?" cried Togepi. Togepi grew larger and wings cut out of its shell. She had a head and neck now. She kept her shell print the same.

" Togechikku!" cried my new pokemon. I took out my Pokedex again.

Togechikku: The psychic pokemon. Togechikku is the evolved form of Togepi. It uses its cuteness to distract enemies, then uses powerful attacks to knock them out.

" Wow! I got two new pokemon in one day! Ash! Tracey! Did you see that?" I turned around to see if they had been looking and a pain broke into my body. Ash and Mina were hugging each other and then kissed. I felt my eyes water up with tears. I could make out bits of what they were saying.

"……..I knew from the day I saw you that I liked you……" said Mina.

" ……You are the most beautiful girl in the world….."

They kissed again and held hands.

" Okay Tracey, Misty. It's time to go," said Ash, full of joy.

" I wiped away my tears and followed them, standing as far away from them as I could. We reached a hotel and got ourselves separate rooms. I went into my room right away, ordering room service for food for my pokemon. I laid down on my bed in deep thought. I pondered a long time and soon fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up, my mind focused on what I was going to do. I returned all my pokemon except Togechikku. I got ready and went into the lobby to find Ash and Mina making out while Tracey was reading a magazine. I felt my already weak heart break even more at the sight of Ash and Mina.

" Took you long enough," said Tracey, looking up from his magazine.

" You won't have to wait for me any longer…….. I'm gonna leave you guys and continue on my journey alone," I said in an emotionless tone, holding back my tears.

" Pika! Pikachu! Kachu! Pikachu!" No! You can't go Misty!

" Pikachu's right…….We need you to stay with us Misty," said Tracey, dropping the magazine on the floor.

Ash and Mina broke apart.

" Why do you guys need me. I don't do anything. Besides, you have Mina now."

" What about your bike? I haven't paid you back yet," said Ash.

" All the time I've been using Togepi to battle……..I've saved up enough money to take care of myself and get a new bike. Besides, I could always use Totodile and Togechikku and my other pokemon to battle for more money."

" You got new pokemon? Togepi evolved?" asked Ash, confused.

" Yes. You haven't paid much attention, have you Ash? I wouldn't have expected you to. I see there are some distractions for you. You haven't trained up your pokemon every since…. Well, right now isn't the most perfect time to leave though. But to get where I need to go I need to leave now. Bye you guys. I'll see you again……someday……."

Pikachu jumped onto my shoulder.

"Pika! Pika! Chu! Pikachu! I'm going with you! Ash doesn't want to train pokemon anymore, all he wants is to be with his girlfriend. He doesn't care about me anymore!!

" Pikachu? You can't go with Misty! I order you not too!" cried Ash.

" Pika Pika! Chu! Chu! Pi! Chu! You don't want to train pokemon anymore! I don't like you like that! I'm going to stay with Misty!

"It's okay Ash. You don't need Misty or Pikachu. You have me now," said Mina. She then brang Ash into a long kiss.

I walked out of the hotel and brang out Blastiose. The rain poured down hard on my shoulders. Togechikku huddled under my arms. I wrapped Pikachu and Togechikku in my long cloak. I hopped onto Blastiose's back and made it so that an umbrella covered Blastiose's whole body. We rode off………I didn't know where……. It was then I let out all my tears. Togechikku and Pikachu tried to comfort me……but it was no use. My heart was broken and it couldn't be fixed…….

~~~~**End of Flashback**~~~~

I looked out the window and saw the clouds start to disappear. I grabbed my pokeballs and walked outside. I released all my pokemon into the huge lake in my backyard. They all looked relieved to finally get out of their pokeballs. Pikachu came out of the house I built for him, wearing a little hawaiian shirt and putting on Pikachu sun-tan lotion. I counted my pokemon, making sure not to have forgot any inside.

" Let's see……. Togechikku, Arigeitsu, Mariruri, Nuo, Blastoise, Cloyster, Seadra, Lapras, Seaking, Golduck, Poliwhirl, Tentacruel, Dewgong, Kingler, Staryu, Starmie, Gyarados, Vaporeon, Omanyte, Dratini, and AquaTygr. I better go get Togechikku's pool toy."

Pikachu hopped on my shoulder and came with me, since it knew where Togechikku's pool toy was. I went into the front yard and picked up the toy. Pikachu's ears went stiff. It sniffed the air then looked around. A young man was lying face down on the front yard. He looked as if he had fainted from exhasution. His clothes were so familiar.

" Pikapi!!" Ash!

" Ash? Is that you?" I asked in a whisper.
