The reunion Steven Mastin (Pokemon fan-fiction) I do not own Pokemon, all rights reserved. Prologue After a tough battle against several bullies, Ash and his friends won, with one final blast from Misty's well trained Politoed and Ash's best friend Pikachu. "Looks like we're blasting off again," team rocket and the three bullies cried as they disappeared into the sky. "You did really great there, Misty," Ash congratulated. As the three friends and their Pokemon danced around in triumph, proud of their success. "Thanks Ash, I feel a lot better now," Misty smiled. Standing at a slight angle and facing the opposite direction of her two friends. "It was awesome, watching you battle like that, Mist," Ash complimented. "Thanks Ash, that's sweet," Misty added with a smile. "Errrr," Ash stuttered unsure what to say next. "And, thanks for always being such a great friend to me," Misty continued. Flashbacks overwhelmed Ash's mind, as he thought about all they had been through together and how sad it was that it was all about to come to an end. Trying to fight back his tears, he slowly said; 'Misty-Your-bikes-there-your-in-a-hurry. Right?' he struggled. Misty nodded as the three friends traveled down the last stretch of road before splitting up. "So, Ash don't forget your morning rituals: have a bath and brush you teeth." "I'll remember," Ash said with a giggle, trying his best not to show the pain he felt. "And make sure Pikachu doesn't eat to much," Misty continued. "Pikachu," Pikachu called. "And, Brock, try not to get to distracted by all the girls," Brock nodded. "And one more thing," Misty said tearful. "That's enough!" Ash said, still struggling to cope with what was about to happen. There and then he wanted so badly to kiss Misty, and beg her not to go. But as tempted as he was, he couldn't bring himself to do it. "Just carry on, doing your best," Misty finished. The path came to an end and diverged into two separate paths, both of which unleashed great pain and heartache on Ash and Misty. Why was it so difficult for them to admit their feelings, in this last moment that they may share together? They both thought. "So, I guess this is where we split up," Brock added solemnly. "Yeah," Misty and Ash agreed, neither of them wanting to go anywhere. "Cya later," said Brock. Misty smiled back at Brock. But Ash was the one she was really going to miss. Even though she could never admit. But neither would Ash. "Goodbye Ash, take care," Misty said sweetly. "I will!" Ash bawled. "Thanks for everything Misty," he exploded. And with that Misty rode on ahead and disappeared into the sun set. Ash fell to the fall and began to break down, his heart throbbing, his eyes bubbling. Brock helped him up and softly said to him. "We have to keep moving, our adventure isn't over yet," Ash simply nodded and walked on ahead of him. -All three friends were going to miss one another, that was a guarantee, but little do they know the heartache wouldn't last much longer. They would soon reunite. Even though the wait would seem like a life time. A story of Love, friendship, family and destiny. All four elements emerge together as one, in: The Reunion.
