A Chance Meeting..

Chapter 1

We find our three heros on the way to the next city called Sunnyshore were Ash is going to compete for his eigth gym badge so he can entre the Sinnoh Legue, but for now we find the three trainers heading towards a small town called Mallace they had just entered the town while also admiring all the sites the town had to offer.

The town itself was a site to see, house were all over the place with various shops here and there with a big fountain in the centre of the town, large trees could be seen every as well, and a river also flew through the town taking many left and right turns and eventaully heading to a lake in the forrest just outside the town.

"Woah this place is amazing I never seen anything quite like it," Ash said as he ran to the side of the river with Dawn following him and Brock not to far behind.

"Aww look at the water pokemon, they must love it here," Dawn said smiling while hugging Piplup. There were many different types of water pokemon swimming up and down the river and also sun bathing on the side of it.

"Pip," Piplup nodded and agreed with her.

"Why don't we try and find the Pokemon Centre and a get room, and then we can explore the place a bit more," Brock said now having caught up with them and in need of a rest.

"Good idea Brock we should probably get something to eat as well, I'm starving," Ash said holding his belly as it began to rumble. Dawn rolled her eye's at him.

"Oh Ash! can't you think about anything beside your stomach." Ash turned round to Dawn and Pikachu had jumped off his shoulder having smelled something familier Ash hadn't noticed him sniffing about.

"Well we've been walking for hours, and we're running down on food supplies," Piplup had got out of Dawn's arms and had walked over to Pikachu.

"Pika," ("I wonder, could it be,") Piplup stood next to Pikachu while watching Ash and Dawn argue.

"Pika!" ("it is her! I'm sure of it") "Pika," Pikachu had ran away without any one noticing apart from Piplup.

"Pip," ("where are you going") It shouted hoping to stop Pikachu who had ran away with a smile on it's face.

"Pip, pip pipplup," ("heys guy Pikachu's gone, he went that way,") Dawn had saw Piplup and he was tell them something.

"What is it Piplup?" Dawn asked Piplup who was now jumping up and down and pointed in the direction that Pikachu went in and Ash had now noticed Pikachu was not here.

"Hey were's Pikachu? Did he go that way Piplup?" Ash asked as he looked around Piplup nodded it's head.

Ash ran of in the direction Piplup was pointing in and Dawn, Piplup and Brock followed.

Pikachu had fowolled a scent it had been famlier with and he was surpized to smell it here and was now determined to find it. Pikachu had stopped at the fountain and looked around he saw many people wondering by he looked around until he heard the familier voice.

"Pika, Pi," ("there she is"). He was so happy to see that person, he jumped in the persons arms giving them a fright.

As Pikachu had made his way over to the person, he did not see the three Team Rocket members watching, and a hoodded person lurking in the shadows behind some tree's not to far from Team Rocket, although the person was not interested in Pikachu like Team Rocket, he was more interested in the person who Pikachu was going to see.

"Cha," ("Misty!")

"Oh...Huh a Pikachu..Could you be?...Hm" the person heard a famlier vocie and she new who it was strait away.

"There you are!.. I told you not to run off like that Pikachu it took me forever to find you the last T-t..ime...Misty!" Ash was surpised to see Misty here and now understood why Pikachu had run off.

"Ash it really is you," Misty ran over and hugged him and he hugged back.

As they pulled apart Dawn and Brock had caught up and Misty had ran over to Brock while Pikachu jumped on her shoulder "Brock!"

"Misty?" Misty also gave Brock a hug, and both Ash and Brock had introduced Misty to Dawn they both shook hands and they all sat on the fountain and talked about what had been happening so far in there travels and what Misty had been doing at the gym.

Team Rocket watched the scene from the tree's behind them, they were looking through the binoclurs "hey, the redheaded twerps back," James said seeking a hand into a bag of donuts that there were eating.

"Wonder why.. she's back?" Jessie while also eating a donut.

"Hey, were's the donuts? You guys ate'em all," Complained Meowth who reached his paw back to the packet and found the bag empty he only had two donuts out of it.

"Sorry Meowth if you not fast your last," Jessie said still looking through the binoclurs. Meowth frowned as he dropped his binoclurs and mumbled something to himself.

"Some friends,.." Meowth sighed then his ears perked up and something caught his attenion in the tree's behind them, "heh, what is that?" Meowth turned away from Jessie and James a saw a shadow he froze slightly when the eye's of it looked at him and then it disappeared, "w-where did it go?" Meowth skook his head "Maybe I was just seeing things."

"You say something Meowth?" James asked and was still watching the group. Meowth looked back to were the shadow was with an uneasy look on his face.

"Huh, um no," he then went back to watching the group.

"So Ash how many badge's do you have?" Misty asked though she didn't find out the answer as a boy with purple hair had walked up to them.

"Are you ready to go yet?" Paul asked in his usual grumpy way, then he noticed Ash and the gang "what are you guys doing here?" he asked them coldly. This got Ash angry.

"I could ask you the same thing Paul?" Ash had stood up and glared at Paul.

Paul smirked and closed his with his hands in his pokets "I don't need to tell you anything," Misty had got up and stood between Ash and Paul.

"Uh I'm guessing that you two know one another," Misty asked as she looked between them shocked at the faces they were giving one another, she could tell Ash had a dislike for him and Paul the same towards Ash.

Ash growled "yeah unfortunetly,"

Paul ingored that and had turned to Misty "are you coming with me or not?" Paul asked.

"Misty, you know him?" Ash asked as his look softened as he looked at her.
