Brave New World Chapter 1

A/N: I have to say this is the first fan fic I have ever wrote. I am a musician by nature, and I love music, so I thought I could branch out a bit. I absolutely love the idea of writing a story, and to see where this will all go. I am one of those people who welcomes all ideas into the story, but I may not use them all. At the end of the day, I hope you like and enjoy this story. Ohh, it should be mentioned that the title of this story comes from an Iron Maiden song, I do not own traidmarks to this song

(I do not own Pokemon or any of it's trademarks)

As the sun rose over a sleeping city, there was a feeling of anticipation for the boy.

"There it is, been a long time hahaha. I hope she still remembers me." He kicked a rock into the nearby lake and thought about what to say when he approached her. As he looked at the sunrise, he began to pick up his gear and get ready to head into the city. "Better get ready, this will be a long day."

In a room in the city, a young woman awoke to the sunrise with a groan. "Why does morning just come earlier and earlier?" She began to stretch and got out of bed, pushing her long firey hair out of her face. She dressed, Brushed her teeth, and fixed her hair while looking into the mirror. She couldn't help but let a smile creep across her face as she saw herself that morning. "Wow, I really have grown up."

As she ran down the steps into her kitchen, she found a note on the table, along with a plate of muffins. She picked up the note and read:

"Sorry, we had to take off for a while sis, be back tonight. Take the day off, without us there you may want to close down the gym and just rest."

Love,

Daisy

As she sat down and picked out a chocolate muffin she sied to herself. "They'll never change."

1:30 PM

As the boy stood outside the doors he contemplated to himself in silence. "Will she want to see me?" "Will she even care?" "Of course she will." "But what if she doesn't?"

He shifted his weight nervously from foot to foot dreading the decision he had to make. He knew if he didn't address it now than he might be too scared to ever try again." He put his hand on the door and pulled back.

1:40 PM

As the red haired woman emerged from the pool she smiled at herself. "Wow, I just get faster and faster everyday" she thought. In the water next to her swam a Polytoad and a Golduck. "Thanks for the help guys, I think I will take a break for now though.

She got out of the pool and looked across the pool and smiled at all of the pokemon in the water. "Thanks everyone, that was great. I think you can all take the rest of the day off from here" she yelled. The Pokemon erupted in cheers and began to start playing and frawlicking in the water. The red haired woman decided to get a last look at the pool from her training platform before she left. As she stepped up onto the platform, the door began to open at the far end, where the trainers usually entered the gym from.

As she watched, a tall, raven haired young man walked through the door. He wore a pair of blue jeans, a black TShirt with a Pokeball on the pocket, and a simple watch on his right wrist with a Squirrtle on the face.

"I'm sorry, but I am not taking challengers today. If you come back tomorrow I would gladly…"

She was cut off with a motion of the boy's hand to be silent. As the 2 stood in total silence for that short time, the boy thought to himself before speaking. "Wow, things really have changed, she doesn't even know me" he thought to himself. When he finally spoke, he did with a calm yet serious voice: "Do you remember the promise?"

At hearing this the red haired woman froze. There was no trace of color in her face, and she could not comprehend her surroundings for a moment. The pokemon had also frozen in place, like time had stopped. She was not sure what to say or what to do, as a sense of fear had gripped her.

The young man just stood in place, awaiting a response.

As she spoke, she did with a crack in her voice and a tear starting to drop from her eye: "I. it rreally you?"

The young man smiled that all too familiar smile and the red haired woman began to cry uncontrollably.

"Where have you been?" she asked, but before he could speak she spoke again. "Thththey said that you were mimissing.

The young man started to walk towards the far end of the pool. When he reached her he simply said "Well Mist, when did you start believing everything you heard?"

As he said this she fell towards him, crying uncontrollably into his chest. He embraced her and they stayed like that for what seemed like forever. As she finally started to pull away, she looked into his eyes and stated "Welcome home Ash."

A/N: I'm sorry if this first chapter seems confusing, but trust me there will be a lot more to cover the confusion in the coming chapters. I am trying really hard so please do not kill me if everything isn't perfect. Ohh, and one thing that I tend to have an issue with is being descriptive of certain parts, like looks or locations. I will do my best.

Any feedback is welcome, but please be respectable about it. I am considering whether to add lemons to this story, as it is about Ash and Misty in their 20s. Don't know yet, I know I will be horrible at writing that kind of stuff, hahaha.

Thanks and I will try to keep updating as much as I can.
