Hey all!!! I just had the inspiration one day, right after I saw the ep, to write a continuation of the episode "The Fortune Hunters". It's a short AAML and I hope you like it. Please be nice, I have recently changed my writing style and this is going to by my first fic since!!

Summery: A cont. of ep. 159, "The Fortune Hunters". The trio find out their true fortunes and a bit more then they wanted. Ash hurts Misty's feelings and she runs off. Will Ash be able to repair the damage he has done?

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Pokemon, wish I did, but it is now the property of Pokemon USA, and thank goodness the V.A.'s are getting better!!!

There is no way Ash is still ten even though that is how the show perceives it, so I'm making them the ages I think they were at this point in the series.

Ash - 12
Misty - 12
Brock - 16

Please Enjoy!
Chapter One

Our three heroes had just defeated Butch and Cassidy, a branch of Rockets exceedingly more talented then their normal entourage of 'villains'. Officer Jenny had come tossed them in her vehicle that would transport them to the nearest jail (until they were set out by their boss) and had given them an actual copy of the Pokemon Fortune Telling Book.

"Well, here it goes!" Misty said excitedly as the three of them sat and rested on a nearby bench to check their actual fortunes. Pikachu and Togepi were playing in the nearby grass so their trainers could have some fun.

"We'll do you first again Brock?" Misty continued on.

"Sure, why not." Brock replied.

She flipped through the book until she reached Brock's birthday.

"Its the same!" she exclaimed.

"YES!!" Brock exclaimed just as excitedly, for he, unlike his other two companions, liked his previous fortune.

"A person with an Onix-type personality is always hard-working." Misty continued reading from the small blue book. "They are always striving to do better in what they do and are just and kind to their friends and companions."

"Same as before, isn't it?" Ash questioned. If it was the same Pokemon, wouldn't the fortune be the same, he thought.

"Yes, but there's a bit more," she responded to her friend. "The perfect romantic partner options for an Onix are a Vulpix, Growlithe, or Chansey type personalities??" Misty read on flabbergasted. This section was definitely NOT in the last book. She figured that it was more then the Rocket duo wanted to put in or had the effort or willpower to do.

"REALLY!!" Brock yelled. He immediately jumped up snatched the book from her and read it for himself before dropping the book and jumping with glee. Misty snatched the book back from him in an instant, not wanting it to get ruined before she could read her own. Brock was beet red in the face and egging Misty to continue reading.

"Vulpix, Growlithe, and Chansey are all hard-working types and all work well with each-other. Each one has different traits, such as beauty, spirit, and charity, that each different Onix personality has a liking to." There was a bit more about romantic dates and prime living locations but Misty chose not to read on when Brock started speaking again.

"I have no idea who the Vulpix could be, but Growlithe and Chansey could be Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny!!" he continued on before sprinting away from the rest of his group, probably to track down a Nurse or Officer with a name starting with "J".

"Well, I guess he'll be busy for a while!" Ash commented which turned a snicker from Misty.

"Okay, my turn!" Ash said eagerly wanting to know his fortune.

"Okay." Misty replied. She flipped to Ash's birthday to tell him his fortune. "You are an Arcanine!"

"Yes!" Ash commented "That is much better then a Bellsprout!!"

"Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there." she commented before reading on. "A person with an Arcanine-type personality is strong and fiercely loyal to his/her friends and family. They cannot be deterred from their goals and are hard to persuade otherwise."

Ash was overjoyed with his new fortune, it was so much better then his previous one.

"Well, go on Mist, who is my perfect romantic partner?" He asked her adding a sarcastic tune to the last three words.

Misty rolled her eyes and scrolled down the page a bit and read off to her companion, "The perfect romantic partner" she mimicked his sarcasm "for an Arcanine type personality is a Vaporeon." Ash murmured something inaudible so Misty continued on. "An Arcanine and Vaporeon relationship is just what you would think, steamy!" Ash blushed furiously at the comment "Sometimes the Vaporeon may hide their feelings and emotions away so you will have to pry hard to get at them and gain their acceptance." She read on until the end saying how he will have a large family with at least six children and many Pokemon to take care of; Ash blushed deeper upon hearing about kids, especially since he was still one himself.

"Much better then a Bellsprout I'd say." Misty commented after finishing.

"Definitely!" Ash said, his cheeks returning to their normal color now. "Well, Mist, what about you now. Lets read your fortune."

Misty squealed with excitement as she began flipping through the book to locate her birthday. She slowed her flipping and slowly turned the last few pages. "I am a Va…" Misty's voice stuttered and trailed off; her eyes grew wide, and a deep blush crept into her cheeks, from nervousness and shock. Ash stared apprehensively as her cerulean eyes quickly scanned the page, blush getting deeper and eyes growing wider.

"Mist?" Ash spoke after a long and uncomfortable pause. "Misty, you okay?"

Misty promptly closed the book with a loud 'snap' which startled Togepi and Pikachu nearby. They both looked up at their trainers wondering what was going on. Misty quickly stood up, still firmly clenching the blue book, and scooped Togepi up off the ground. "We should probably go find Brock; its getting late and we should be back to the Pokemon center before nightfall." Misty said quickly without looking at Ash.

"Mist is something wrong?" Ash questioned his friend. "What was your fortune?" She was acting strangely, stranger then normal anyway.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine!" Misty turned around and faced him, but still didn't look him in the face. "Lets go find Brock." Misty turned back around and started up a quick pace back to the Pokemon Center.

"Mist," Ash began, following her, but Misty cut him off.

"He's probably already back at the Pokemon center."

"Misty?"

"He probably didn't waste much time once Jenny turned him down."

"Misty!"

"And after Joy, he's probably just lingering around waiting for more pretty girls to come along."

"MISTY!" Ash finally yelled at her. He grabbed her wrist and spun her around to face him.

"What!" Misty snapped back, obviously frustrated.

"What did your fortune say?" Ash was coming to the conclusion that her fortune was the main cause of her strange behavior.

"Nothing important, now mind your own business!" Misty snapped again. She now noticed Ash's hand clenching hers and quickly pulled it away, turning another dark shade of red, and briskly walked back to the Pokemon Center

But Ash was not giving up. "Misty, give me that book."

"No, why should I?" Misty replied quirking an eyebrow.

"Just let me see it!" Ash insisted angrily. He wanted to know what got her so upset, mostly concern but partly curiosity.

"No!" Misty stated definitely and continued her quick walk back to the Pokemon Center.

Ash sighed in defeat, there was no point in arguing, she wasn't going to give him that book willingly. "Well, there are other ways I could get it…" Ash thought, beginning to plot and figure out ways to get the book away from Misty with enough time to read her fortune. "Come on Pikachu." Ash called out to his small yellow Pokemon. Pikachu ran up and jumped onto its trainer's shoulder and they began their walk back to the Pokemon Center.

Well... whatcha think? Good? Bad? Uninteresting? I know, it needs work, but its only gonna be a few chapters and the cuteness comes in the last one. Please tell me what you think!! I know that there haven't been many Ash and Misty stories around and about anymore, but hopefully the fans are still out there!!! Go Pokeshipping!!

Drop me a nice review, and I'll give you a cookie!!
