Misty gazed out of the big glass windows in the training room of the Cerulean City Gym. She let out a big sigh and splashed her feet that were submerged in the pool. She looked outside to see a small group of trainers running and laughing on the street. There were two boys in the group, who were laughing and playfully chasing each other. There was a girl on the sidelines, looking annoyed at the immature boy's antics. Misty noticed the girl walk over and grab both boys by the ear and drag them to the Pokemon Center. At the sight of this, Misty let out a happy sigh and wished she were the girl in the group.
"I remember when I did the exact same thing to Ash and Brock..." Misty said, remembering fondly how many times she had yanked on their ears. But six years have passed since she last did that, and Misty was dying for adventure. Or more like just to get out of the gym. But she couldn't do that. Not at least until her sisters came back from their cruise.
"You'd think six years would be long enough for them to erase me from their memories, huh Azurill?" Misty said to the small blue pokemon with regret in her voice. Sometimes, Misty wishes that she could die so her sisters wouldn't need to leave for so long. Or maybe it was her desperate need for human interaction talking inside her head. With another lonely sigh, Misty stood up and walked towards the double doors of the gym. There were some eager novices waiting at the front door, so Misty unlocked it and they ran inside. As the last trainer ran inside, Misty was about to shut the door when a dainty hand held it open.
"Sis don't, like, close the door! We just got back!" Daisy said to her stunned little sister, who was slack jawed at their sudden appearance.
"Yeah like, we missed you and stuff!" Violet said with a squeal. Lily squealed as well.
"Misty, so have you like, been doing good? You've grown sooooo much!" Lily said excitedly. At this point, Misty was through with being surprised and was now fuming instead.
"Good, Lily? GOOD? I'VE BEEN HERE FENDING FOR MYSELF FOR SIX YEARS. YOU CALL THAT GOOD?" Misty said in her sister's faces, causing them to shrink with fear. She wanted to slap them. She wanted to slap them so hard for what they did to her.
"M-Misty...We were just, like, on a cruise..." Daisy said quietly, clutching her other two sisters from the wrath of the Fourth Sensational Sister.
"Just on a cruise, huh? SIX YEARS. SIX YEARS IS TOO LONG FOR A CRUISE. DO YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE MISSED OUT ON IN MY LIFE?" Misty spat her words of fury directly at her sisters, who looked even more terrified.
"Misty, we're, like sorry..." Violet said and looked at her sister with pleading eyes. Misty brushed the look off.
"Oh yeah? If you're really sorry, then all three of you will take my place as the gym leader. It's my turn to travel." Misty said and looked down with pity at her sisters, who trembled at the sight of her gaze.
"Well uhh Misty, we do have to, like visit-"
"- The water pokemon in the pool? Yes you do. Oh and by the way, we have a line of trainers waiting to battle, so have fun!" Misty said and waved to them. Surprised and proud of herself, Misty smugly walked to her room to get her travel bag. I can't believe I actually used their own trick to get away from this place! Misty thought, smiling as she packed her clothes and pokeballs into her travel sack. Throwing the sack on her back and scooping up Azurill, Misty skipped out of the gym. She was so happy to be able to travel again, and she was set on finding the one person she really needed: Ash Ketchum.
