Misty/Kasumi-16 1/4

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON. IF I DID, BROCK AND MISTY WOULD STILL BE IN THE SHOW!

We have been walking, for hours. With no talking. At all. I know we were both tense, I can feel it. I'm not sure what it was about though. But the eerie quiet was starting to creep me out a bit. So I decided to break the silence. "Hey Brock, now that you have finally decided to become a Pokemon doctor, what are you going to do next?"

"Huh? Oh ummm I want to go back to Pewter first, to see my family first, then maybe start looking around for somewhere to start getting an education of a Pokemon Doctor. What about you? Heading to a new region as soon as you get home, take a break, or what?" He asked

"Well, I'm going to go Pallet, to visit my mom, Professor Oak, and then go check up on some of my Pokemon after that. Then I think I'll go to Cerulean to see Misty. I haven't called her in two years now, and I haven't seen her since we were in Hoenn."

"Well Ashy-Boy" Brock teased, while wiggling his eyebrows, "Why are you going to visit Misty huh?"

Pikapi Pikapika Pikachu Pipi Pika! (Yeah Ash when did Misty become a priority? This is a first even for you.) Pikachu smirked

A blush slowly crept up to my face "You know why Brock...I need to figure-"

"I know I know big guy." Brock looked over to me with understanding. I nodded to him, in response. I forget sometimes that Brock has been with us since the beginning. He knows how we both tend to be, with the arguments, and jokes of the mallet and my denseness. I smiled at the thought, remembering those days.

"It seems like we have met that fork in the road again." Brock said. The two paths. That always separated the two of us, but we always reunited one way or another. I eyed the wooden pole, with the two arrows pointing in opposite directions. One pointed towards Route 1, which is where I was headed, since it leads right into Pallet Town. The other one would take Brock back into Viridian City, through Route 2 and the Viridian Forest, before he made it to Pewter. I couldn't look at him. I didn't want him to see the tears that were threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"Wow, I sure am going to miss you." I kicked the dirt with my shoes, trying to avoid his gaze.

"Yeah me too." He replied somberly. "Pikachu, watch him for me okay?"

"Pikachu!" My partner gave him a thumbs up. Brock chuckled at the him before returning his attention towards me.

"Thanks for everything Brocko, I will try my best to keep in touch, and say hi to your siblings for me!" I said trying not to choke on my words for I was almost in tears. You can't blame me, this was they guy who guided me, along with Misty, helped me become the Pokemon trainer that I am today. He taught, cared, supported, scolded, encouraged, and showed me, that he was always there for me. He was like the brother I never had.

"OK! Say hello to your Mom and Professor Oak for me! Bye!" He waved to me, as he disappeared down the road.

"Bye" That was that. We split our separate ways. "Next Stop, Pallet Town" I muttered. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Stay Focused. Think Positive. You will see him again. My feet shifted. They began to move, slowly picking up some speed. I picked up the pace, enjoying the breeze hitting my face. It was time. Time to finally go home.

A/N: this chapter was rewritten. I know that it was horrible, with no proof reading. So I rewrote it, with the help of some of my reviewers and friends on this site. Thank you guys so much. I probably will rewrite chapters 2 and 3 at some point. Maybe. So anyways, review, fav/follow, and have a good day!
