Authors note: Every one remember where we left off at I Don't Know Why? If not here is a little recap, RichieproclaimedhistruefeelingsforMistywhointurndiscoveredfeelingsforhiminhe randendedupjoininghimonhisjourneyleavingAshwonderingwhyhedidn'ttellherthathe lovedher. Whew! That was a mouth full. Kinda rolled off the tongue. But anyway, it has been a year since Misty left Ash, who has gotten detached from reality more training, less eating, talking, and sleeping. He has since become distant from his friends. All that brings him back is talking of 'the old days.' And he has Misty's letter with him in his pocket. But enough about that on to the story, the sequel.
"Misty, we're here." Richie told a sleeping Misty softly, which by normal means shouldn't have woken her up, but did. "We are?" Misty asked, still drowsy. The two had been on a long bus ride from New Bark Town to Richie's hometown, Vermilion City. "Come on, I told my dad that he was going to love you. He sounded very eager to meet you on the phone." Richie said, as the two got off the bus and started to walk to Richie's house. "Now remember, don't over notice his eyes, he is very self conscious about them." Richie told Misty, who yawned in response. The two walked up to a quaint little house, and Richie rang the doorbell. The man who answered the door looked like Richie, his hair was a little lighter with gray showing through, he wore a pair of bifocals, and he grasped a cane in his left hand. But it was the eyes that really got her, the whites were tinted with yellow. "Richie! Came here to see your old man?" Richie's dad said as he gave Richie a big bear hug. "How's my little boy been?" he added. "Dad! I'm 14 now." Richie protested. Ignoring his son's protests, Richie's father introduced himself to Misty. "Felix Cougar, at your service. But, please, call me Fel." Fel told Misty. Leading the two into the living room, Fel took a seat in a recliner. "Uh… Fel, when will I get to meet Mrs. Cougar?" Misty asked. After she asked, she noticed that Richie paled. "You won't. Lydia walked out on me when Richie was only 13 months old. She stole my heart and broke his." Fel said with a sigh. Trying to change the subject, Misty asked another question. "Why weren't you at the Indigo League with Richie when he was competing?" Fel was silent for a few minutes. "I had to go into surgery. About two months before the League Championship, I found out that I had lung cancer. That's what you get from smokin' a pack a day." Fel said, regret dripping from his voice. "But I have been in remission for two years. Which is a good thing." He added. "Anyway I'm sure that dad will make it to this years games. Right, Dad?" Richie said, very cheerfully. Then there was a scream from another room. "What was that?" Misty asked. "Just the television. I was watching a slasher movie. You could strangle those kids with a cordless phone." Fel said, with a laugh.
After staying at the Cougar's house, Misty started to get attached to it. The way Fel would be up making breakfast singing Italian love songs, or the birds that sang cheerfully at noon. It just felt like a loving home, something that she wanted to be in. There was also something in the way that Fel looked after Richie, like he was trying to make up for something, that really touched Misty. She knew that this was a home of happiness. And she liked it.
What seems like a universe away Ash was training his Pokemon. "No, Pikachu! We will not stop until you can defeat Golem! Not before, after!" Ash shouted to the worn out Pokemon. After he lost Misty, Ash started to have a streak of sadism in him, and it showed in his training. Putting them up against losing battles against stronger ones or type advantaged Pokemon. It was taking its toll on him emotionally, physically, and socially. Just the other day Pikachu bit him, not wanting to go through another day of this training, but eventually came around after being put in a Poke ball that was than put underwater for three hours. It got to a point where even Chikorita started to stop showing her devotion. Even his human friends started to avoid him ever since he gave Tracy that black eye during an argument. He just went and socked him. And even though it was two months ago, you could still see the shiner on his left eye. Ash also increased his Pokemon collection and took his rivalry with Gary to a whole new level. It got to a point where nobody wanted to be on the same side of the street as Ash, his temper making a Gyrados look mild. And the worst part was that nobody knew why he was acting the way he did.
Richie was training for the Indigo Games also, but not in the same zealous manner. He still had time to spend with Misty and made sure that he told her that he loved her every day. If Misty and Richie were to see Ash now, they wouldn't recognize him, his eyes forming a hard, steely gaze. But they will see him again, and it should make you wonder what Ash would do to Richie if he knew that he was the reason that Misty left.
Ah. Writing sequels are fun. I know I said that I would only post it if you said that you wanted, but I wanted to write this and have it read. I would also like to apologize about Ash. Remember, he had his heart broken and became that horrendous trainer. This is not supposed to be a anti- trainer or anti-Ash, nor is it an abused Pokemon story, I just wanted to put in the way he felt after his loss of Misty. So, any way review(or flame) and read.
