Misty's POV
I can't wait to see Ash! He's been gone for ages! The last time I saw him, he had come back from his travels in the Unova region with Iris and Cilan.
Of course, I don't get to see Ash a lot, because he's always traveling, but we do keep in touch... At least, that's what we've been doing for the past 5 years. This year, I haven't heard much from him, he's been so busy in Kalos, that he hadn't gotten round to contacting me.
He told me whenever he got a gym badge, but that was it. Just yesterday, I heard that he would be coming back to Pallet Town, and with all the people he travelled with.
I hadn't heard about any of the people Ash had travelled with in Kalos. As I said, he had been very distant during his journey through the region.
I'd recently been thinking about our journey through Kanto, all those years ago when we were both 10. I remember at the beginning, we both despised each other. But towards the end, I had developed a crush on him; which was very odd for me, I had never had a crush on anyone before that. It always crossed my mind, 'why do I like Ash?' and I never seemed to have an answer. He wasn't the most good-looking; Gary Oak, his former rival who now assists Professer Oak in his lab, was defiantly more good-looking than Ash. But still, I had never had feelings for Gary. I didn't know what I liked about the raven haired trainer so much. Was it his love for pokemon? Was it the way he always strived to be the best? Or was it just that adorable nature he seemed to have? Well, I guess I liked everything about him. And the weird thing is, I still do. After 6 years, I have never met a person like Ash.
