PART I, Narrative by Misty, Idea for Part I of this fic was taken from K.A. Applegate, for actual story, read Animorphs 29: The Sickness

My name is Misty, I'm a Pokemon Trainer from Cerulean City, I prefer Water-Type Pokemon. My closest friend, Ash Ketchum specializes in any Pokemon he can catch, and speaking of Ash, how long has it been? Years ago when he was 10 and I was 11, I was fishing in the river when there was a tug on my line, I pulled it in, hoping it was a major Water Pokemon, but it was a kid with a Pikachu, he took my bike, saying he'd give it back, but first he had to get his Pikachu to a Pokemon Center, when I found my bike, it was destroyed. I vowed I would not leave Ash alone until he paid back the bike, I didn't like traveling with him because as far as I could see, he was just another jerk, but then I found out what a warm-hearted, caring person he really is. We eventually became friends, and several times I have forgotten that he owes me a bike, I still remember that time "Baby Spice or James?"
A voice broke into my thoughts, "Huh?" I said, snapping out of my trance, inches from my face were a pair of gray eyes, I recognized them belonging to my friend Throttle, "I'm sorry, what?" I asked, realizing he'd been talking to me. "It's a Desert Island game" Throttle said, "You pick two annoying people and pick which one you'd rather be trapped alone with on a desert island"

Writer's Note: I have nothing against Baby Spice, if you like her, then substitute a different celebrity you find annoying, now back to the fic

I stared at Throttle, then I opened my mouth to answer, but he lunged across the table and clamped my mouth shut, "SHHH! Listen" he said pointing to the next table, I looked over and saw Allison & Courtney, two of Pallet Town's most beautiful girls, also two of the biggest snobs I have ever known "You think I should?" Allison asked, I looked at Throttle, he shook his head and pointed, indicating I should keep listening. "Go for it, it's your big chance for the Dance tonight" Then it struck me, the Kimono Dance! It was tonight! If you attended, you wore a Kimono & Obi with your choice of color, I would kinda like to go with...nevermind. I almost missed Allison's next comment "I will! I'll do it! Ash has gotten SO cute!" Waitaminute, did she mean MY Ash? I mean, my friend Ash? I mentally went through up the town roster, there was only one Ash, Ash Ketchum. "Uh Uh, don't even think about it, Allison the Airhead," Throttle called, The Snob Set turned "Ash is going with Misty" My face suddenly felt like it was on fire as Allison & Courtney looked at me like I was some kind of stain on their blouse. "A skank like her?" Courtney asked disdainfully, I started to get up, intending to tear her another mouth, but Throttle is even stronger than I am, his grip on my shoulder convinced me to stay put "Yup," Throttle said, "I was just gonna register their kimonos, and Misty is not skank, thank you very much"

Writer's note: Forgive me for the use of the word "Skank" but it was the most polite word I could think of for Allison the Airhead to use in a G-rated
fan-fic, we now return to the story, already in progress

"Sorry Misty, but Trash can't compete with Class" Allison said, then to display her "Class" she did something I won't repeat here, before I could wallop her into the next dimension, Throttle held me down and said "The arrangements are being made as we speak, besides, Ash sees inner beauty, THAN likes the outer beauty, but you? Even Brock wouldn't go out with you" Courtney countered by saying "They don't look like they're together, she's right here, and he's waaaaaaaayy over there." I glanced over at Ash, he was talking to another girl named Jeanette, a trainer from Crimson City who battled Ash in his fourth round match of the Pokemon League his first time, I felt a strange flash of anger, then Brock walked over and began to talk to Jeanette, she didn't look pleased with the interruption "We, Misty and I, are going over there, waaaaaaayy over there." Throttle said, he dragged me over toward where Ash, Jeanette, & Brock were, "You and Ash make me wanna hurl," Throttle said "Ash can look death in the eye every day without flinching, but he can't even ask a girl to a dance, and you are no better." "What do I do?" I protested "Keep quite and let ME do the talking" Throttle advised.
We reached the spot where Ash & Jeanette were sitting, Throttle set my yogurt down beside Ash and then sat next to Jeanette, despite the moment, I saw that Brock looked jealous "Hey Ash, hi Jeanette" Throttle said "Hi Throttle." they both said "Hi Ash." I said a bit shyly as I took Throttle's hint and sat down next to Ash and continued eating my yogurt

Writer's note: If you don't like yogurt, substitute your favorite dairy treat
Throttle: "WILL YOU BE QUITE AND LET MISTY CONTINUE THE STORY!?!?"
Writer's note: Excuuuuuuuuuse me! go ahead Misty

"Hi Misty." Ash replied. "We are all going to the dance tonight," Throttle said, not beating around the bush, "And you, Ash are taking Misty." Ash began choking on his cheeseburger, Brock pounded him on the back until he swallowed right "Hello?" Throttle said into his cell-phone "I would like to register Ash & Misty for the dance tonight, Ash will be wearing a green kimono with a blue obi, and Misty will be wearing a pink kimono with bubbles on it and a red obi, thanks very much." Throttle grinned at me, probably because my face was the color of Pikachu's ketchup. "So Jeanette, I guess this means you'll need a date tonight, too?" Brock said "I'll have to disappoint the other girls, but I could take you" "Not in this lifetime, or the next, would you like to take me, Throttle?" Jeannette asked, Throttle looked a little stunned, "What color kimono & obi would you like?" he asked. "I like red with black" Jeanette replied, leering at a disappointed Brock, Throttle registered himself & Jeannette, then Jeanette grinned at Ash "You and Misty are going to make the CUTEST couple, Ash" she said, then she left, pulling out some money, presumably to go to the snack bar

"Shot down again, eh Brock?" Ash teased, then he looked at me, "You don't mind?" he asked, despite the heat of my own face, I couldn't help but notice that Ash was blushing, or maybe it was because of the Atomic Sauce he had poured on his cheeseburger, I couldn't tell "Well, I'm going with someone I trust at least, you are my closest friend after all" "Well, I guess I'll see you tonight" Ash said, as he took off, I called after him before I could stop myself "You really do look good in green, you know" I managed to say, my face felt like it was going to turn to ash, pun intended

"Pink is really your color, Misty" Ash said just before running off, I wondered if he was blushing as hard as I was

Writer's note: I have more or less been told that Ash looks good in green, being a guy myself, I wouldn't know, but I do know that Misty is beautiful already, and a goddess in pink
