Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon in anyway…
:This Chapter is an edited version of the first after reading over how terrible it was:
A group of four walked through the Veridian Forest. A boy with messy black hair and a cap seemed to lead, on his shoulder rested a young Pikachu.
Behind the two walked another boy who seemed slightly older then his companions. Darker skin and eyes that nearly had the appearance that he was walking with them closed, he held a map in his hands.
All the while a girl walked rather close to the boy with the Pikachu, orange hair held up in a side ponytail. Her expression filled with anxiety.
"Aren't we almost out of this forest?" the girl complained before hearing a rustling sound within the bushes which made her jump.
The boy with darker skin looked over and smiled "don't worry Misty, it's just a little further up and we'll be in Pallet Town."
"Geez Misty," the boy with the cap turned his head and looked at Misty, "you can't still be worrying about bug pokemon" he said.
"Oh course, I HATE bug pokemon," she yelled, the girl grabbed onto the tanner boy "what was that?" she asked when a small sound came from behind them. The sound became louder and Misty turned her head as a hourd of Beedril came flying towards them. Neither of the group hesitated as they took off, Misty running faster then she had ever done before.
"If you think about it Brock, Misty could win any relay race if we just set out a bunch of bug pokemon behind her" the boy with the cap said with a laugh as a light shone through the trees revealing the exit of the forest where Misty was found on her knees panting.
"Ash Ketchum," the voice of danger seemed to fill Misty's voice as she grabbed the boy with the cap by the collar and shook him vigorously. The Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder to escape the young girls wrath as she attacked his friend.
Brock looked out from the hill they had arrived on, nearby was a small river which sped up leaving to a waterfall. Brock looked at his map again before the buzzing sound came and reached his ears. The dispute between Misty and Ash came to an end when the noise reached their ears as well. Apparently the Beedril hadn't given up on their search from the group. In the distance of the forest they were able to see the dark figures coming closer, without even a thought Misty grabbed Ash and ran towards the river and jumped in. Brock grabbed Pikachu and followed, the current caught the group and the waters began to speed up as they came closer to the waterfall.
They came closer and Misty flinched, her leg scratched against one of the sharper rocks under the water. She fell underwater though and then, with the others fell down the waterfall and into a small lake below with a splash. Misty's head shot out of the water and she inhaled before looking around for Ash and Brock. The two boys soon surfaced from behind her. "Looks like the Beedril didn't follow us" Brock said looking around before swimming over to the edge and pulling himself along with Pikachu out of the water. Ash and Misty soon followed.
"Thank goodness" Misty said before falling on her knee. She turned and looked at her leg and saw the cut she had received from the rock earlier had been much worse than she had anticipated. Brock took on immediate first aid before he and Ash both helped her up. The three talked to pass the time and to help keep Misty's mind off of the pain from her leg. Every time she laughed though it seemed to make her flinch. Ash much to the water pokemon trainers' disagreement had ended up taking on the role of helping Misty walk.
Time passed, the sun began to set, and the four finally reached a Pokemon Center. They set their pokeballs to heal and Nurse Joy took the moment to look at Misty's leg. "You just rest here Misty, I'll go get some fresh bandages and anticeptic" Nurse Joy said leaving Misty to lay on a bed while leaving the room. She returned soon and began to remove the coverage over Misty's leg. Ash and Brock stood nearby as the nurse began to work. "You really should take better care of yourself Misty," the nurse said as she applied the anticeptic and bandaged the wound "you can stay here tonight, boys in the extra beds. However Misty, I'd like to keep you here."
Misty leaned back muttering while Nurse Joy led Ash and Brock out of the room to show them where they would rest until morning.
"Always, always, are you three really this useless," a deep voice came, hidden from the shadows. Three other figures stood there in the light, one a Meowth and the other two humans wearing a white traditional Team Rocket uniform.
"Well you see boss," the woman with long red hair slicked together in a whish like motion said "it's just we keep running into these brats."
"Yes," the other one was a male with short purple hair. "They keep ruining our plans, wherever we go they always seem to be there as well. Mainly it's that one twirp and his pet Pikachu."
"I don't want your excuses," the shadowed man yelled making the three flinch. "If you don't get me some Pokemon soon, you three will be out of Team Rocket," he growled, "now get out of my sight."
--
The three left the tall building and sighed, in unison. "I honestly don't know what to do, every time we have a plan it's like those twerps are meant to appear and destroy our attempts at stealing pokemon" the woman said.
"You know, we could always change locations when they arrive in town" the purple haired man suggested.
"By then though, we would already have our plans set" the woman said.
Suddenly the Meowth spoke up "alright listen up you two," the two humans looked over at Mewoth with confusion. "What's the one thing that we haven't tried yet?" Mewoth asked them with a proud smile.
Nurse Joy walked into the room where Misty was laying asleep. She watched Misty begin to stir and grit her teeth. She hadn't said anything to the others earlier but when she had been looking at the wound Nurse Joy had noticed something else. The wound itself was fine however inside her body was a mess, if something wasn't done soon most likely the worst could happen. The symptoms themselves were barely noticeable as if they were just every day partial moments and sometimes the body would function without any signs. Nurse Joy sighed before leaving the room, the door closed automatically behind her.
If she's lucky, it's only a temporary infection Nurse Joy thought before heading into another room where she herself slept.

Ash sat in his bed that Nurse Joy had given him. Curled up next to him was Pikachu soundly sleeping while Brock lay in the bed beside his own. Ash looked up at the white ceiling and thought of Misty and her injury; he closed his eyes and rolled over before opening them again. It felt as if he were unable to sleep. The ash haired boy sat up and quietly slid out of the bed so not to awaken his pokemon and friend before slipping out of the room. The door opened and shut automatically and he stood in the hallway. He hadn't really bothered to put on his sneaker so he stood in his jeans and shirt; he had left his hat and shoes in the bedroom. Looking around for anyone he began to head towards where Misty was sleeping. He didn't really want to wake her, just check up on her. He looked around before stepping close enough and the door slid open letting him inside.
Ash entered and looked at the beds. Most of them were empty, he walked along each one until he came to where the young red haired girl was sleeping. Her leg seemed to twitch as if in a seizure before stopping. Ash looked at Misty and remembered earlier when he had wrapped her arm around his shoulders to support her. They had fought most of the way until Brock had interrupted causing the two to forget the fight. Ash then thought something that made him turn red, he shook his head she looks fine, we should be able to get back on the road in the morning he thought before quickly leaving the room.
Ash rushed back to the room his face turning slightly normal again as his earlier thought was pushed forcefully out of his mind. He reached his room and walked inside, neither Brock nor Pikachu had moved since he left. Gratefully he silently slid back under the covers and closed his eyes "so how's Misty?" came a deep voice and Ash turned his head to see Brock looking at him with a smirk.
"Huh?" Ash looked at him surprised, "I don't know what you are talking about" he said quickly.
"You are a terrible actor Ash," Brock said before smiling as Ash rolled over ignoring Brock.
--
When the boys awoke the next morning, Ash quickly threw on his shoes and rushed outside ignoring Nurse Joy and headed towards the room where Misty rested. The door opened and he walked over to her bed; however Ash froze when he saw Misty's bed empty and the area nearby in a mess.
After reading over the original text for the Chapter of "Saving the One I Love" I realized how completely off everything was so after I got a review to continue (after quite some time) I decided to re-set Chapter One. So starting a new re-make and a 2nd Chapter, what has happened to Misty?
