Chapter 1 – A New Experience

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the characters. T_T

Why Blackthorn you ask? It's my way of introducing another character (Clair) and is the place where Lance is from, you'll find out in 1 of the later chapters. Also because I didn't want Misty to be in Kanto.

thinking and letter

Misty- 18

Daisy- 26

Joey- 26

Lily- 25

Violet- 24

It was a bright, sunny day in Cerulean City. And at the Cerulean Gym a battle was going on inside, a gym battle of course!

"Poliwhirl, water gun, now!" Misty told her pokémon.

"Butterfree, dodge!" the trainer yelled, but it was too late. The pokémon came crashing down into the pool.

"YAY! Way to go Poliwhirl!" Misty said to her pokémon.

"Poli-Poliwhirl!" replied Poliwhirl

"Hey good job, you did pretty well as a new trainer, just keep on going and you'll get the hang of it." Misty said trying to encourage the young trainer.

"Thanks and you better watch out cause I'm coming back for that badge!" the trainer said

"Mhmm, you got it!" Misty said giving a thumb up.

After that the trainer left and Misty went to get the Pokémon some food for lunch.

"Geez, these trainers just keep coming, and it just turned noon!" said an exhausted Misty, who had just finished her 6th battle of the day. Misty had earned herself and the Cerulean Gym a reputation of being 1 of the toughest gym/gym leaders to beat in the Kanto region. So a lot of trainers were looking for a battle. Misty had not only grown into a strong leader but also into a beautiful girl who could rival her sisters, but people always said that her sisters were way more beautiful though (well they're mean). Misty was 18 now with fiery orange, shoulder length hair and bangs that swooped across her forehead. She was about 5' 6" and had the nice long legs to prove it. Her eyes were a beautiful aquamarine blue too. Misty's personality was still as fiery as ever but she couldn't help speak her mind. Of course the Cerulean Gym was famous for another thing besides pokémon battles; that is the Sensational Sisters!

"LIKE MISTY TELL YOUR PSYDUCK TO GIVE ME BACK MY HAIR PIN!" yelled Lily who was chasing Psyduck.

"Ugh….not again! Psyduck stop messing around and give Lily back her hair pin!!"

"Psyiiiduck" Psyduck stopped running around after hearing his master and seeing how tired she was and gave Lily her hair pin back thinking it would make his master happy.

"Geez, like finally!!" said Lily who took her hair pin as quickly as she could before Psyduck decided to do something else.

"Thank you Psyduck, now go to the pool and I'll give you and the others some lunch, ok?" Misty told Psyduck in which the Pokémon nodded happily and waddled out to the pool.

"*sigh….I need a break from all this before I go crazy." M

"Like, whatever Misty just make sure you keep that Psyduck out of my room." L

"Aww, calm down, it's not like Psyduck broke anything, right?" M

"Hmpf! Just keep him out of my room baby sister." L

"Now like, what's this all about?" Daisy said as she walked into the kitchen. Daisy still had her long blonde hair. She came in a black pencil skirt with a white long sleeved frilly blouse and black high heals; sorta business like you could say. Something that she probably wouldn't have worn when she was younger.

"DAISY!!!" Lily and Misty both said and rushed over to their big sister whom they hadn't seen in 2 weeks which made the 4 Waterflower sisters incomplete to them.

"Like, hey guys I'm glad to see you too!" Daisy said as Lily and Misty both hugged their sister

"Like we missed you so much!" Lily said

"Hehe, I wasn't gone that long. Oh yea, like where's Violet?" Daisy asked a bit curious as to where her other sister was.

"Oh…well, Violet left a few days ago for some modeling job in another city." Misty tried explaining to Daisy.

"Speaking of which, I have to get going too!" Lily said which made Daisy and Misty give a surprised look.

"Wait, what!? Why wasn't I told of this until now!?!" M

"Like, oh my gosh, I completely forgot about your new job!" Daisy exclaimed

"What?! You knew too!? How come I'm always the last one to hear about these things??!!!" Misty was tired of her sisters always going off leaving her to take care of things by herself most of the time.

"Like chill out Mist, I'll be back soon." L

"You mean later; you say soon but you guys can take months until you return, and then you go off again on some other trip." Misty said while giving a pouty face.

"Well then have fun and like be safe Lil!" Daisy said not even listening to what Misty was saying.

"Like got it! Bye!" Lily said and then left.

"What...geez, you guys are such a handful." M

Hehe…like don't worry baby sister I'm here still." D

"*sigh…yea-yea. Can you help me feed the Pokémon?" Misty asked

"Like I guess but I'm relaxing later okay?"

"Ya fine with me. Thanks Daisy!"

"Like no problem baby sister."

Daisy and Misty left the kitchen after that and headed to the pool where the Pokémon were happily waiting for their lunch. After feeding the Pokémon Daisy and Misty made lunch for themselves.

"So how was your trip?"

"Like okay, just business as usual."

"Did you see Joey?" Joey was Daisy's boyfriend of 2 ½ years and hadn't seen each other for awhile because of their busy schedules.

"Yeah we met up. He's doing fine and says he'll come for a visit real soon. Oh and he says hi!"

"Hmm that's good." Misty was happy to see her sister be with someone who really cared for her and not for the fame, and the fact that he kept Daisy under control, as in taking things seriously instead of how she was when they were younger. Yeah, Joey was a good guy.

"Oh, hey look here baby sis. I like almost forgot, this came today for you." Daisy said and pulled out a white envelope with Misty's name and the Elite Four Logo. The Elite Four are in-charge of the Pokémon Leagues and getting a letter from them is important if you're a gym leader.

"Huh, I wonder what this is about."

"Like we won't know till you open it Mist."

"Ya I know, I know." Misty began to open the letter and read what the Elite Four had to say.

'Hello Misty, with the Cerulean Gym gaining a respectable reputation we are very proud of your leadership and skills as a gym leader. We have considered you to go experience life away from the gym and to learn more about pokémon and not just the battles. You won't be replaced as gym leader, of course, but will find someone suitable enough to take care of your gym leader duties till your return. We hope you consider this as a small vacation and a great chance to learn more about the pokémon you train and even battle against. Enclosed to this letter is a forum that tells you your classes and the supplies needed at Blackthorn University. We hope you have a fun time and will check up every now and then to see how things are going.

P.S. We have you set to leave the day after tomorrow.

Lance'

"Like wow Mist, that's so cool!!!" Daisy said happily to Misty.

"……." Misty was jaw-dropped. She couldn't believe what she just read. She was actually going to attend college, free of charge mind you, and get a vacation away from the gym for once, sorta, kinda,…. not really, but still! This was a chance in a lifetime that Misty wasn't going to refuse.

"Like helloooo? Earth to Misty."

"HUH!? Oh, sorry Daisy just a bit shocked over the news."

"Well you're happy aren't you?"

"OF COURSE!"

"Well then, like let's get ready already!"

"Hold on Daisy what about my replacement while I'm gone?"

"Like don't worry 'bout that, I'll take care of it. You know I've improved a lot. Daisy said trying to persuade her sister into letting her be the replacement while she was gone.

"Well that's true and all, but you're gonna have to convince the Elite Four first."

"Like no problem, just give me a sec. Now you go get your stuff ready and get the stuff that's on that supply list they gave you." And with that Misty nodded, grabbed the list and headed to her room to get packed since she would be leaving the day after tomorrow. A little while later Daisy came into Misty's room.

"Like piece of cake baby sister!" Daisy said giving a 'V' for victory sign.

"Really? Well that sure makes things easy for me. Thanks Daisy for helping me out."

"Like any time Mist and not to mention Joey is coming to keep me company while you're away."

"That's good."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Lance said that he arranged a tutor for you who will also help you out while you're there."

"Well that's nice to hear. But come on, a tutor? It sounds more like babysitting if you ask me."

"Like come on Mist you don't know what's been goin on in the classes, it's already been 2 months since they've started, and just to let you know the person they're havin help you out is some famous pokémon researcher-in-training who is, from what I hear, a good-looking guy."

"Hmm, sounds interesting but still."

"Like you're not still crushing on Ash are you?"

"NO! I told you before that was a long time ago and I see him nothing more than a little, goofball brother."

"Ha-ha, I know. I was just teasing you Mist."

"Hardie har har, now can you help me out here?" Daisy and Misty got to work with getting Misty's things together. They closed the gym the rest of the day and went over the rules that Daisy would need to know about being the gym leader and taking over Misty's other chores and such.

'I can't wait! This is going to be fun, I think, it is college after all. But Daisy said some famous researcher guy will help me out so that's not bad. I hope he's cute, hehe.' Misty thought to herself while preparing for what was to come in the days ahead.
