'I'm fine, I promise'
Chapter 1
Arriving at Viridian
Thirteen year old Ash Ketchum and his three best friends' Brock, Misty and Pikachu were arriving at Viridian City after travelling three years together.
"Pikachu this time tomorrow we will be home sweet home!" Ash said to the little yellow Mouse with excitement.
"Pi-Pi-Pikachu!" Pikachu replied.
"Wow Ash can you believe it's already been three years since we first met?" Misty said aloud.
"Yea, I know. Wow time flies by quick" Ash said replying to Misty.
"Come on you guys, we got to hurry before the Pokémon Centre closes" Brock said hurrying.
"Yea, your right. Come on guys let's go!" Ash said quickly running down the road with Pikachu following behind.
"He's always full of energy." Brock said to Misty.
"Mmmm" Misty thought to herself.
Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu arrived at Viridian City Pokémon Centre, dead on half past nine. They walked through the automatic doors to be greeted by Nurse Joy, who was smiling at the three.
"Hi Nurse Joy, do you remember me?" Ash asked.
"How could I not forget? And you Pikachu." Nurse Joy said stroking Pikachu on the head. "Oh and that reminds me Misty." She said walking behind the counter. She came out from behind the counter revealing a bright orange Bike.
"This belongs to you Misty." Nurse Joy said rolling the bike towards Misty.
"Oh! My Bike! Thanks Nurse Joy it looks good as new" Misty said thanking Nurse Joy.
"No need to thank me. Just something I did in my spare time." Nurse Joy said winking at Misty.
"Well Misty it looks like I won't have to repay y-"Ash was cut off by Brock.
"Oh Nurse Joy will you do me the honour and come to dinner with me?" Brock said taking hold of Nurse Joy's hand.
"Come on Brock" Misty said dragging him away by the ear. Nurse Joy led the three of them to their room where they would by staying for the night.
"Thanks Nurse Joy" Ash said.
"Not too late now" she replied winking.
While Misty went to have a shower Ash, Brock and Pikachu went to get some food for all of them. The time they had gotten back Misty was already for bed. The three of them and Pikachu tucked in to the food. And before long they had already finished eating all the food.
"Well I'm going to get ready for bed. Come on Pikachu." Ash said walking to the bathroom with Pikachu following obediently.
"I wonder how Ash is going to take the news tomorrow." Misty said to Brock.
"Yea I know. But remember we can't say anything at all. We got to wait for his Mom to tell him." Brock replied.
"I know, I know. It's so sad and Ash is going to be so upset leaving everything behind." Misty said.
"Hey guy's what you whispering about?" Ash said walking through door curious that were talking quietly.
"Oh not much, just saying how much we can't wait for your Mom's home cooked meals tomorrow" said Misty trying to hind the fact that she was lying.
"Aw I know. I can't wait either!" Ash said, oblivious to what was going on. They stayed up and talked for a little bit longer and finally got tucked up in bed.
"Good night Brock, good night Pikachu, good night Ash. Sleep well" Misty said drifting off to sleep.
"Yea good night everyone" Brock said.
"Good night" said Ash.
"Pi-Pi-Pikachu-Chu" Pikachu said falling asleep in Ash's arms.
