Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokemon. I just want a Mewtwo, and then I'll be happy.

Just so we all have a little background, here are the characters featured in this story along with a short bio and their age.

Misty Waterflower: Former gym leader of Cerulean City, now she spends her time traveling with her friend Ash and training her water Pokemon. She has a bad temper and a mallet to club the living daylights out of anyone who argues with her. Age: 18

Ash Ketchum: Greatest Pokemon Master of all time, he travels around training his Pokemon and helping out novice trainers. He's a little slow on the uptake sometimes and is very childish. He has a Pikachu that like to travel on his shoulder and is a very close companion. Age: 17

David Frapert: Longtime friend of Ash's who is always offering his 'advice' to people who need it. Doesn't enjoy the fact that he has no Pokemon battling abilities, but he makes up for this with his world famous knowledge of Pokemon breeding. Age: 13

Run Away!

Chapter 1: You call this relaxing?!

It was a warm day in the middle of June. The sun was shining and there was a nice breeze wafting around him. He was of course, Ash Ketchum, world famous Pokemon Master. He had decided to take a vacation and get some R&R at his house in Pallet Town. He was enjoying the peace and quiet much more than his Pikachu was though. Pikachu kept on running off to play on Professor Oak's Pokemon wildlife preserve. Even though his rambunctious Pikachu was always getting into trouble over there, it gave Ash some time on his own. Ash's friends had all gone their own separate ways years ago. Brock left to become a gym leader again, May was a master Pokemon coordinator in Hoenn, and Max was an up and coming Pokemon Professor who lived in Goldenrod. The only person who was still traveling with him was his old friend Misty. She had joined up with him again after the Hoenn League competition was over for the year. She was his best friend and the closest thing he had to a sister. He had hated it so much when she had to leave to tend to her gym. Now, he wasn't going to let anything break up their friendship. "Where is Misty anyway?"he thought to himself. "I haven't seen her for most of the day! Oh well, she's probably at the mall or something."

Unbeknownst to him, Misty was slowly creeping up on him from behind the tree he was sitting against. As she crept closer, all sorts of thoughts shot through her head. "I can't believe I'm going through with this! I know I told myself like a million times I would tell him how I truly feel about him, but I didn't think I'd actually do it!" Misty thought while creeping closer."I want to tell him so badly how I feel about him, I just don't know if I'm ready yet! I already know exactly what I'll say to him. I'll say 'Ash, I just wanted to tell you that I love you! I have ever since I first looked into your beautiful brown eyes. I love everything about you! Your voice, your hair, your personality, your cute little character flaws, and most of all I love how you never ever give up on your dreams!' I've just got to tell him the truth! I'm going to do it right now before I can back down!" And with that, she walked over to Ash and sat down next to him. "Ash...." she said kind of timidly, "I want to tell you something." Ash looked over at her and smiled. "Go ahead." he said. Misty looked right into his eyes and started to blush deep crimson. "I wanted to say that I...I love you with all of my heart!" Upon hearing this, Ash turned white as a ghost and his eyebrows shot up as high as they possibly could. Misty ignored these signs and continued, "I've loved you ever since I first looked into your beautiful brown eyes. I love everything about you! Your voice, your hair, your personality, your cute little character flaws, and most of all I love how you never ever give up on your dreams!"

Misty smiled a humongous smile because she was extremely happy that she got that off her chest, but Ash was shocked and disturbed. Not wanting to continue with the current subject, seeing as Misty was inching closer, Ash gave her the first excuse that came to his mind. "I...I think I hear my waffle calling!" And with that, he was off. Misty just looked at him and smiled. "He will be mine. I'll make sure of it." Then she sat down and started formulating a plan to win over Ash Ketchum.

Ash ran towards his house as fast as his legs would take him. All the while he was thinking of who he could talk to about his new and disturbing 'problem.' Professor Oak was way too old and probably wouldn't understand, his mom was out of town, Tracey had no experience with girls to begin with, and Brock had no luck with the ladies and was currently at the Indigo Plateau attending a gym leaders convention! Not knowing who to talk to or looking where he was going, Ash ran smack into his old friend David. Literally. After relocating his shoulder and yelling lots of words a thirteen-year-old shouldn't know, David asked Ash an important question. "WHY THE HECK DID YOU RUN INTO ME LIKE THAT?! WERE YOU BEING CHASED BY A SWARM OF EVIL BEEDRILL?!" David asked while turning red in the face. "Sorry David! I really am! I wasn't thinking straight!" panted an out-of-breath Ash. "Misty just told me that she loves me. That just freaked me out. I mean, I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment! I didn't know what to do! So I ran like a maniac to get away from her! I was thinking about who to ask for advice." "WHY DIDN"T YOU JUST ASK ME FOR ADVICE INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO ME LIKE THAT?! Tell you what. You can buy me a burger to make up for the incident YOU caused, and I'll give you some of my WORLD FAMOUS ADVICE!" David said. "Sounds good to me." Said Ash. So off they went to get some burgers at the burger joint, Burger Kingdra, in Viridian City.

Chameleon Freak: Hi there! Welcome to the first edition of chat with the author! I'm the author and my guest today is none other than Misty Waterflower! Before we begin, I'd just like to say sorry this chapter is somewhat short! I promise the next chapter will be longer. Until then, Please Read and Review!

Misty: Bravo Mr. Freak. That was a very nice speech. But can we please talk about me?

Chameleon Freak: Ok. What's on your mind?

Misty: Why'd you give me such a small part? I mean, David got more speaking time than me it seems.

Chameleon Freak: You'll have bigger parts in the next couple of chapters. I just wanted to get this story moving already.

Misty: Fine. You'd better give me bigger parts in the next chapter. If you don't, I'll be forced to use my mallet on you!

Chameleon Freak: Hey I created you! I could have you fall off a cliff if I wanted to. So you'd better not use that mallet on me!

Misty: What if I knock you unconscious and write the story on my own?

Chameleon Freak: Ummmmmmmmmmm..... END OF DISCUSION!
