May-21
Tracey-23
After a hard day of working as the Cerulean City gym leader, and finished running ridiculous errands for her sisters, Misty sat down to watch her favorite Monday night show the Bachelor. "It's almost on!" The twenty-one year old gym leader squealed. Ever since Misty was little she loved romance, she recollected the times when she was traveling with Ash and she would poke fun at him for being so "thick-headed" and dense when it came to romance. Ash never had the slightest idea when a girl would flirt with him, Misty even failed to get her feelings through to him. You would think that he would learn a thing or two with Brock being a man whore in all flirting with every attractive looking women he saw but that was just him. All Ash would ever care about was Pokemon, challenging the next closest gym, then going to the Pokemon League. "He never understood the finer things in life a wonder if he still feels the same?" Misty thought out loud. Suddenly the TV interrupted her thoughts.
"This is it the last episode, I think James is going to propose to Krista." (I know they weren't actual people on the Bachelor but whatever) Suddenly Misty's kiddish-like smile formed into a frown. "I wish I could find love so easily, maybe if I got on the show and won I would finally move on and stop thinking about Ash." Misty was now determined to move on and finally find true love.
Three months have passed since she initially signed up to be a contestant on the Bachelor and today was the day where her future would surely change forever. Misty tried to occupy herself with doing chores and training her Pokemon but to no prevail. "Out of all days why do my sisters choose this day to not give me any stupid jobs to do?!" Suddenly Misty heard the phone ring in the other room. "This might be the call!" Her heart was practically beating out of chest when she answered the phone.
"Hello may I speak to Miss Waterflower?" The kind man asked. "T-this is she" Misty barely managed to say. "Well I was just calling to confirm Daisy Waterflower's spa appointment for January 26, at 1:00 p.m."
"Shit" Misty mumbled barely above a whisper. "Sure, thanks" with a hint of obvious annoyance in her voice she hung up the phone and headed back to gym's training area. Misty sat down by the pool and stared at her reflection. The small scrawny girl everyone once knew had transformed into a magnificent, knowledgeable young women. Her body was perfectly curved and she stood out in all the right places. She no longer wore her hair in her signature side pony tail, but instead let her orange hued hair down to grow longer, which complemented her beautifully shaped face even further. Her skin was a milky ivory color, which suited her best. Not like she could tan because all she would do was burn. It was hard not to notice Misty's beauty now a days, even her sisters felt threatened and they were models for the famous magazine Pokemon Trainer Couture. Misty was tracing her finger through the pool water when she saw a little yellow duck Pokemon come up behind her through the reflection of the water. "Psy…duck?" The yellow duck Pokemon confusingly said. "Psyduck you're the last thing I need!"
"Psy?" The little duck just cocked his head in even more confusion. Suddenly a drop of water planted right onto Psyduck's head. "Psyduck duck duck duck" the Pokemon started running around in a complete panic. "Psyduck it's just a little water, calm down!"
"Psy eye DUCK!" Misty ran over to Psyduck who just tripped over its own webbed feet. "Psyduck its okay." Misty looked up at the light blue ceiling to see it dripping even faster. "I better get Tracey down here to fix this, you be careful now okay Psyduck."
"Psyduck duck" The Pokemon said confidently, giving Misty a salute as she walked away. With that Misty went to the phone to call the young Pokemon Watcher, and total suck up to Daisy, Tracey.
Later that day Tracey came over to look at the leaky roof. Tracey looked all around him noticing all the renovations that had been done to the Gym. The exterior of the Gym looked pretty much the same, which still had its signature Dewgong on the front. The main room was now a baby powder blue instead of the dark royal blue it used to be. The three drop ceilings were also gone and really opened up the place. The rest of the furnishings were pretty much the same except for the new lights and cheap but classy chandeliers that hung from the walls and ceilings. Misty and Tracey now entered the training room where the problem was. Now the overly observant Pokemon watcher was looking around the room with a smile on his face. He noticed that the walls were also different, which were a darker blue than the main room. Pictures of different water Pokemon danced along the room. Ones from different regions like Totodile, Mudkip, Oshawott, and Piplup. Along with the original Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen, and Psyduck. Tracey also noticed the new addition of trophies, pictures, and awards from Daisy, Violet, Lily, and even some from Misty. Suddenly Misty and Tracey watched a tiny blue figure enter the room "Azu Azurill!" Azurill chirped happily running and jumping into its mother's arms." Azurill I'm happy to see you to! How did you get here?" Asked a bewildered Misty. "I got Azurill for you Misty, I know how you take Azurill to Suzy's Salon every Sunday so I thought that since you're waiting for this important call I would pick it up on my way here."
"Thank you Tracey that was really sweet of you!"
"Yea any time" Tracey responded bashfully rubbing the back of his neck. Misty looked down to see the buckets she put down almost filled with water. "Well I better get working on that roof, before this whole Gym is flooded. "Yea your right" Misty simply stated
Later that day Tracey got finished with the roof and successfully fixed the leakage. "Thanks again Tracey!"
"Like I said before I'd help you anytime!"
"Oh and I'm sorry you didn't get to see Daisy" Misty added mischievously.
"W-WHAAAT, WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK?!..." Tracey was cut off by Misty's glare and devilish smile. "Yea I guess your right…hehe" Tracey said with his head down in shame. "Well anyways Tracey thanks, make sure you make it back to Prof. Oak's lab safely."
"I will don't worry about me!" With that Tracey started trekking down the road leaving Misty only with Azurill and the other Pokemon to keep her company.
Misty sat down on her couch only to be greeted by Azurill. "Azu rill rill!"
"Hello Azurill how are you feeling?" Sensing the saddened undertone in Misty's seemingly cheery voice, Azurill asked its mother what was the matter. "Rill rill Azurill?"
"Oh Azurill nothing's wrong you go play now, okay" Even Azurill was still convinced that something was the matter, but decided to obey its mother anyway. Once Azurill was out of sight Misty checked the time, 4:30. If she didn't get the call soon she wouldn't be able to be on the Bachelor. Suddenly the doorbell rang, snapping out of her thoughts, Misty jumped up to open the door. When she opened the door she was greeted with a man who wore a black tuxedo and a classic red tie. He also had black hair, neatly slicked back by tons of hair gel. Hello, "Miss Waterflower?"
"Yes" Misty said surprised by the man standing before her.
I would just like to say congratulations because YOUR GONNA BE A CONTESTANT ON THE BACHELOR!" Misty felt her heart skip a beat, but even though she was happy she couldn't help feeling slightly confused. "Mister I'm confused, I was told when I signed up that I was to get a call if I was going to be competing?"
"Oh yes I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience Miss, we wanted to try something new this season that's all.
"Oh I see" was all Misty could say. Misty then saw the man pull a red rose out from behind him, then proceeded to present it to her. "Will you accept this rose" his voice to eager for his own good. Misty took a deep breath and pleasantly took the rose with a simple "yes." Misty was so relieved that the weight was finally off her shoulders. Misty knew she was probably the only one who accepted so calmly. She could see the surprised expression on the man's face, almost like he was expecting her to freak out like every other girl who found out they won the chance to compete. "Well then we shall meet in front of this Gym next Monday 8:00 a.m. sharp."
"I understand" Misty said sternly. The man then went on tell her all the rules and such. Like how she could only bring one Pokemon with her and how she could leave the competition at any time. Once he was sure that Misty understood everything he headed back to the black limousine in which he arrived and drove out of sight. Misty held the elegant red rose close to her chest and shed a tear. "No I need to be strong, I can't cry now." She turned around and reentered the Gym. This was a new beginning.
