Title: "Leaving your heart behind"
Summary: After seeing something that she wished not to have seen (it's not a crime or something like that… ^^), Misty decides to care only about her pokémon…If you mix humor, an unexpected romance (between Misty and… sorry, not telling ^^) and Team Rocket trying to steal Elite Four's pokémon (Misty will play an important role in here… that's why we have action and adventure… I'm not saying more, sorry! ^^) you have my fic! About the pairings… I don't know yet, you tell me in your reviews and I'll see that later!
Disclaimer: Surprise, surprise! I don't own pokemon! (Who didn't see that coming? -_-)
This is my second fic, so I just hope it is better than the second (I'll try to watch out for plot holes- thanks for the tip animorphs17- and try to put a bit more description)… Oh well, on with the story!
Prologue
"I haven't been with him for 5 years... I left to take over the gym temporarily, but I guess I was too good in this task…" Misty Waterflower smiled bitterly. She was in her bed, looking through the window and remembering all of the adventures she went through when she was younger.
It was late at night, probably way after dinner. Misty held the phone tight, while sighing sadly. Her sisters were probably taking sunbaths in Hawaii. Since she had done such a good job taking over the gym, her sisters decided that they should take a break. A really long one.
"I'm just sooo tired…" Misty moaned "Ten battles in one day, cleaning the arena, checking all the pools… I just want to sleep…" she mumbled.
But she couldn't fall asleep. Not yet, she had to talk to him…
The phone rang startling Misty. She quickly picked and answered it.
"Hi Misty! You won't believe what happened to me today!" an excited male voice said.
"Hi Ash, and yes, I'm just fine thank you!" Misty replied sarcastically.
"Sorry Misty, you know I like to know how was your day…" Ash said embarrassed.
Misty could imagine him scratching the back of his head, ashamed by his behaviour… And that's why she started laughing out loud.
"What?" Ash asked confused.
"I would love to see your face Ash Ketchum… I was just teasing you! Come on, tell me how was you day!" Misty said smiling.
"Oh, you won't believe in me! I caught an amazing new pokemon that…" Ash started.
Misty leaned against her soft pillow and closed her eyes, trying to picture what Ash was saying. Just hearing his voice made her day worth.
Although she was exhausted, she listened patiently, always with a sweet smile in her lips.
"That's great Ash!" she said to him, and then added sadly " I wish I could be there with you…"
"Oh, but… Hang on a sec…" Ash said "Sorry, Brock is telling me to shut up…"
Misty smiled "Ok, go on then, you have to rest, with all those adventures and battles… Just… take care…" Misty said.
"Ok, we'll talk tomorrow. Bye!" Ash said.
"Kiss Brock for me!" Misty said.
"What?" Ash asked surprised " Hey Misty, I don't swing that way!" he added quickly.
"Oh god… You're so dense Ash Ketchum! I was just asking you to tell Brock that I said hi!" Misty said laughing.
"Oh, right… But you could tell me that right away!" he said angry.
"I didn't have to do that because I thought that you would understand me… But you are a dense boy Ash Ketchum, a very dense boy…" Misty teased.
"I am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am n… Hey Brock give me the phone!" Ash yelled.
"Misty, I'm really sorry to be interrupting your conversation, but it's already 12 pm in here and we need to sleep because we're leaving early tomorrow…" Brock said patiently.
"Sorry Brock, old habit… Well, sleep well, we'll talk tomorrow…" Misty apologized "Oh, and say hi to Max and May…" she added.
"Ok, I'll do that. Good night Misty… We miss you…" Brock said and we could still hear Ash's voice in the background.
"I miss you too…" Misty said and she hung up.
Sobs could be heard while Misty got up ad grabbed an old photo. It was a photo of her, Brock and Ash, in the Johto championships.
"I miss you guys so much…" she said in a muffled voice, looking at the photo. She looked at the clock: 2 am.
"I gotta have some sleep…" she said and lay down on her bed.
Looking at the ceiling, feeling the tears sliding down her soft cheeks, Misty remembered a very important day approaching…
"Ash's birthday is in 3 days! Oh God, I'm an awful friend, I almost forgot his birthday! I haven't got him anything! And worst, I won't be able to be with him in this important day! He's turning 18 and I'm not gonna be with him!" she opened a draw near her bed and grabbed a red cap… An old cap of Ash.
"I miss him so much… And Brock of course, I miss Brock too!" Misty added, blushing hard "I'm crazy… I'm talking to myself and I'm thinking that… That I like Ash Ketchum! It's insane…right?" she asked herself embarrassed.
"Stop it Misty Waterflower, you're just depressed and you're feeling alone, nostalgic… That's just it…" she reassured herself, although not completely believing.
"If I only get to visit him… Them, them!!!" she correct herself quickly, blushing hard again.
Misty thought about the gym and the many challengers that came everyday to battle with her, trying to win the Cascade Badge… She didn't even close the Gym at Weekend due to the quantity of trainers…
"Close the gym for 2 days… It's an appealing idea… Should I do it? Close the gym to see him…Them…" she added, while she played with her fingers.
"Just 2 days… Daisy, Lily and Violet always closed the gym for one or two days to go shopping… At least I have a good motive!" Misty said looking at her fingers.
"Yeah, that's it, I'm going to Houen to visit Ash! Ash and Brock, Misty, Ash and Brock…" she warned herself, while looked at her sheets, her face burning.
"Oh well, at least with my face hot as it is, the tears evaporated…" she said sarcastically and looked at her clock "Oh my god!!! It's almost 4 a.m and I have to be up at 7.30! I guess I have to plan all this tomorrow… Gotta talk with Brock to find exactly where they are and I have to warn the trainers…" Misty said as she got up and exit her room.
She went down the stairs towards the kitchen to grab a glass of milk.
"Maybe it's better if I warned Nurse Joy and she'd tell the trainers…" her voice trailed off as she took a zip of milk.
"I guess I should…" a yawn was heard " oh, I'm sure I have to get some sleep…I'll plan this tomorrow…" Misty said went to her room.
That's it, my first chapter is done!
