"We're over, Misty," he said. "What? Why?" A shocked Misty said.

They were sitting in the PokePub, at a small, two-person table. The time was about 1:45pm, but it was still fairly dark inside. "There's just some stuff I need to figure out, Misty, and I don't think I can be a very good boyfriend at the moment," he said slowly. "I understand," she said softly.

They sat there for a while, not saying anything. "I have to go now, Misty," he said. "O-okay," she said sadly. They both stood up, and held each other in a tight hug. "I will be back, Misty," he said, and ran out of the dark pub into the bright sunlight, not looking back. "Why are guys always running out on me?" she said softly, standing in silent tears. Then she sat down slowly.

It was kareoke night at the pub, and a brown-haired woman was on the stage singing "This is Me" by Dream. "I think I'll try out a new song." She said. Misty walked up to the bartender and asked to see the list of songs. She was flipping through the "New Releases" pages when a certain song caught her eye. "Catch Me if You Can" by Misty. 'Wow, I can't believe that they have my song on here already!!!' she thought to herself, 'My single just came out last week!'.

"Oh, but I need a guy to sing my song," she whispered to herself. "Oh well, I think I'll be able to sing it by myself."

Misty went back up to the bartender and told him she wanted to sing this song, and the bartender told her "Ok, you'll be next. When she's done, just go on the stage and wait for the music to start." "Ok, thanks!" Misty said happily. She already knew what to do, but she was glad he explained it to her, because that meant he didn't know who she was and Misty didn't want to be that much of a famous singer yet, even though she had a semi-famous single out.

The brown-haired lady stopped singing and the music faded. "I'm up," Misty said to herself. She walked up on the stage and looked out into the crowd. She loved it here. This was the place Misty belonged, on the stage. She had a beautiful singing voice, and had a few fans, because her single was on the top 100 songs.

The music started. She was a little nervous, but her voice came to her.

Misty - "Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can.

Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can."

Misty - "Look out it's time the world was ready for,

A new thing, It's time I got I got ahead.

Get back! Nothings gonna stop me, and I,

I won't quit 'til I'm sittin' on the top."

The pub's door opened, and a tall, black-haired man in early twenties walks in. He looks around and sees Misty (long legs and long red hair). The man, recognizing the song, (and its missing male part) runs up to the stage and winks to Misty while she is still singing.

Misty & Stranger -"I never give up when the going gets rough.

I know I'm gonna make it through.

To just try will never be enough.

I'll show you there's nothing that I can't do."

Misty - "Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can.

Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can."

Stranger - "Come on, come on, catch me now, catch me pokemon.

Can you come on catch me can you now? You can't catch me anyhow."

Misty – "Get up, let's see what you're made of.

Bring it on, you know I'm not afraid.

There's no way that you can slow me down now.

It's time to show you what I'm all about."

Misty & Stranger - "I never give up when the going gets rough."

I know I'm gonna make it through.

To just try will never be enough.

I'll show you there's nothing that I can't do."

(2x) Misty - "Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can.

Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can."

Misty - "It's so close, I can almost taste it (stranger - taste it).

There's no way I'll look back. It's so hard (stranger - so hard),

But stopping's not an option.

Misty & Stranger - "I'm gonna keep on, 'cause I believe in"

Misty - "Meeeeeeeeeeee…."

(4x) Stranger - "Come on, come on, catch me now, catch me pokemon.

Can you come on catch me can you now? You can't catch me anyhow.

(4x) Misty - "Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can.

Oh, come on try to catch me.

Oh, catch me if you can."

Misty - Giggles

(End of song)

The few people that were in the Pub burst out in applause. Misty grabbed the strangers' hand and bowed, with him following suit. They both stood back up and walked to the table Misty was sitting at. "Thank you!" she said, "You came just in time!" "I know, it was lucky of me. Hey, can I buy you a drink?" he asked. "Sure, I'll take a Coke. I don't drink alcohol." Misty said, making a sour face. "Oh, me either. I really don't like the taste," said the stranger.

He walked over to the bartender and ordered two Cokes. He brought them back and gave one to Misty. "Thanks," she said happily, and took a drink. "Oh, by the way, my name's Ash Ketchum." Ash said. Misty was taking another drink of her soda when he said this, and she spat it all over his face. "Oh my God, Ash. I'm sooooo sorry!" She got a napkin and started to wipe the soda off his face. "Ash, I can't believe it's you!" Misty said shocked, while Ash looked at her funny. "It's me Ash, it's Misty." Ash grabbed Mistys hand (the one that's still cleaning his face). "Oh my God, Misty. It can't be you. You got so, so tall…a-and pretty." Ash said, almost in a whisper. "Look who's talking," Misty said, taking her hand off his face. "Look how big you got Ash, and very handsome, too." Misty said, shyly. "Well, I would hope so!" said Ash, "I mean, it's been 10 years since we've seen each other!" "Yes, it has," said Misty softly.

Well…I have to say…I think that was pretty good…but please review and tell me what you thought!
