The key to their past
New friends or foes?
They where travailing in the forest again, Cheryl once again had gotten them lost. They where twins and they loved each other, but sometimes they drove each other mad!
Cheryl was a 14-year-old girl with strawberry blond hair that flowed down to her shoulders, she had blue eyes with a slight green hidden in them and wore a blue top with black long sleaves that had the words 'if you can read this, your to close' written on it, she also wore dark jeans and white and blue on her shoes.
Lizzy was also 14-years-old although she was older then Cheryl by two minutes and never let Cheryl forget it. She had beautiful blue eyes, with waist length summer blond hair, she wore a plane white top and a small yellow jumper that stoped mid stomach so you could see part of the white top she wore underneath, she also wore an above nee-mini black skirt with black tie-up knee high boots to complete the outfit.
The two sisters where heading to Goldenrod city, when Cheryl had once again gotten them lost, they where currently stuck in the middle of the forest. Liz and Cheryl had a lot of pokemon but there first wore two baby pikachu's their mother gave them when they were 7, the Pikachu's where all grown up now and where powerful thanks to the good training they always got. They had different names so they would not get confused, Cheryl's was named 'Skyler' and Lizzy's pikachu was named 'Bella'.
While the sisters where stuck in the forest they had found a clear area were they and their pokemon could rest for the moment. The sky was getting darker as dark clouds started covering the sun. Lizzy was getting worried it was going to rain, while they where lost. Their Pikachu's were currently sitting on the ground looking around the forest bored as their trainers talked…fought.
Lizzy once again glanced up at the sky worried. "Cheryl I think it's going to rain"
Cheryl looks at the sky and frowned she soon looked back at her sister and decided to blame her – it's not like it was her fault but she has to much pride to admit she was wrong.
"Just my luck! Liz why did you have to get us lost!?"
Lizzy looked at her twin in disbelief before her anger got the best of her.
"WWWWHHHHAAAATTTT!!!!"
Cheryl looks at the steaming Liz and thought 'you can almost see the steam coming out of her ears' she giggled at this thought but stoped as soon as she saw Lizzy bring out her dreaded mallet. 'Why did she have to bring that thing with her?!' Cheryl sighed 'I know why, to torture ME!'
"YOU are the one who got US lost, YOU are the one with the MAP, and witch is UPSIDE-DOWN!"
Cheryl looks at the map, then back at Liz with a look that clearly stated "oops". "Erm...Heh...heh...it...humm...is upside-down...what'd know?"
Cheryl swetdrops and starts to back up as Liz towers over her with flames in her usually sea blue eyes, she soon freaks and calls her Pikachu for help.
"Skyler HHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Pikachu named Skyler looked up from where she was looking at a tree in her boredom to study her trainer, Bella and finally Lizzy after she quietly made her decision.
"Picuh pika-pi cuuhh ppi pika-chu ((Sorry pika-pi I'm not getting involved))"
Cheryl was about to run when she notices Liz has stoped and is now looking up at the sky, Cheryl follows her eyes and almost wishes she let Liz lead today, it was after-all her turn...but Cheryl took the map instead and ended up getting them lost…again. The sky was dark and clouds where covering the sun.
"Ahh...not good, we better get to cover"
Liz looks at Cheryl and then turns when she, Skyler and Bella turn as they hear a sound of voices like two people fighting, she made a fast decision to follow the voices and pry they know a way out of this forest. Liz runs towards the voices and picks up Bella on the way. Cheryl copies her movements and follows closely behind unaware of her plan, and confused as to what she was doing.
They ran for a few minutes until they came across another clearing, there where three people there...a tanned boy about the age of 16 with spiky brown hair, brown long pants and a green vest and black runners on.
There was also a red-head holding a togepi in her arms she was about the age of 14 she had a yellow tank top on with sort jeans with suspenders and red/white runners. The girl was fighting with a boy about the same age with ruffled raven hair and an official pokemon league hat on his head a blue jacket, long jeans with a black top underneath along with blue/white runners, but what caught Cheryl's eye was the Pikachu sitting on his shoulder. Because of the noise they where making they where Unna-where of the two sister standing there listening, until Lizzy spoke up.
"Excuse me"
Misty Brock, Ash, Pikachu and togepi looked towards there direction, Liz was about to continue when Brock went into 'pretty girl mood' and ran towards Liz and grabbed her hands.
"My angel from haven I have finally found you!"
Everyone swetdroped, and Cheryl took this as a chance to slide past Liz and the crazy person and go up to Ash, Misty, Pikachu and togepi to introduce herself, Liz saw this and wanted her to help her out, though Cheryl being Cheryl left her in the spot light of this crazy man while she and Skyler meet with Ash's Pikachu.
Misty looked curious as to how they got there and looked some-what relived her fight with Ash was over. "Ahh hi"
Cheryl smiled at the two trainers "Hi I'm Cheryl" Looks at ash "cute Pikachu"
Ash smiles at the chance to gloat "Thanks my name is Ash Katchum (sp?) And I'm going to be the best pokemon master in the world"
Misty sighed at Ash's big ego. "I'm misty, ahh who is she?" points to poor Liz being bugged by Brock "she might want some help from Romeo"
Liz is growing frustrated at brocks addiction to 'ask her out' and soon get him to pay attention to Cheryl, he sees her and runs up to her; holding her hands with pink hearts in his eyes.
"My princess you have come, I'm Brock and I will love you forever!"
Misty finally gets rid of Brock by pulling on his ear very herd.
"Will you go out with m- OW m-misty s-s-stop, I need my OW PRIENCESS!!"
Liz walks over to the group and introduces herself.
"Hi my name is Elizabeth; Lizzy for sort ahh sorry to bug you but thanks to SOMEONE (turns to Cheryl as she says someone in an angry voice) GOT US LOST! We where wondering if you new a way to Goldenrod city."
Misty got back in time to here the 'SOMEONE GOT US LOST' part of the sentence and immediately made a sarcastic comment.
"Sounds like ash, since he is always getting us lost"
Ash got embarrassed and tried in vain to protect his pride. "HEY! I get us there eventually" He says to Misty while giving her his best 'if looks could kill' faces.
Misty waves it off as nothing. "Anyway" turns to Cheryl and Liz "we are heading to goldenrod ourselves, maybe you would like to travel with us?"
Lizzy felt guilty for putting them out. "We don't want to bother you-"
Cheryl cut her off "we would love to!!"
Liz swetdrops and decided it would be a better idea to travel with more people, as long as Brock kept his distance, she was fine with it.
Ash smiled. "Sounds like a good idea, why don't you get your stuff ready and Brock can start on dinner"
Lizzy, Cheryl: "yeah ok, why not".
Soon everyone decided it wasn't going to rain and started to set up camp. Once they all had unpacked and made a fair they all decided to show there pokemon to their new friends, that's when Skyler Pikachu and Bell went off having fun with togepi, and then Pikachu decided to show Skyler and Bella the magic of 'ketchup'. Ash misty, Brock, Cheryl and Liz all laughed at this.
Ash then thought of a good way to pass the time. "Hey I know why don't we have a pokemon battle?"
Misty sighed sometimes that's all Ash thinks of. "Ash lets eat dinner first."
Ash looked disappointed and Liz decided to change the subject. "So you all are pokemon trainers?"
Brock smiled at the change of subject. "Sort of, I want to be the best pokemon breeder in the world"
Ash got a goofy grin and repeated his earlier statement "I'm going to be the best pokemon master in the world!"
Cheryl then to got a goofy grin. "You have to get through me first!"
"Waahh? You're going for the title as well?"
Cheryl giggled at the look on his face. "Yup and you better be ready to fight, when the time comes."
"Well that is interesting, as for me I'm going to be the best water pokemon master, and then head back to my gym in cerulean"
Lizzy looks interested. "Well looks like you have some competition as well, cuz' I'm going for the water pokemon master title as well."
Misty smiles. "I look forward to the competition"
Ash looks at Cheryl with determination in his eyes. 'this may get interesting' Ash smiles at his new found friend and tells her, he will beat the pants of her, Cheryl returns the gaze and says "we'll just see about that then wont we". By this time it was 11:30 and everyone decided to hit the sack to be ready for tomorrow.
Brock lay down in his sleeping bed and looked at the two interested. (A/N: From right to left it went; Brock, Cheryl, Lizzy, Misty and Ash.) "So were you guy's home town?"
Lizzy and Cheryl answered simultaneously. "Cerulean city"
Misty shot up from her sleeping bag and makes everyone jump. 'Could it be?' she thinks 'nah it wouldn't…..would it?'
Ash looked worried as him, and everyone else looked at Misty worriedly. "What's wrong misty"
Misty looked at Ash and the others embarrassed. "Huh oh nothing Ash" And with that she lays back down.
After a few more stories told by Cheryl and Ash, everyone got tired and told them to get to sleep. 20 minutes later Cheryl and Ash were still talking and by doing so; keeping everyone up.
Misty got tired of them talking and decided to take the matter in her own hands. "Ash, Cheryl I mean this in a nice way, SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP!"
And with that she hits both of them on the head with her mallet when they say they are not sleepy, with them both now unconscious in there sleeping bags misty thinks, 'maybe that is them….if it's not them then…' Misty sighs. And soon falls to sleep since it is now peaceful thanks to her and her trusty mallet.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The next day
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The sun was rising with bright orange, yellow, and a hit of red as it kisses the mountains. It was 5:14 when misty was sitting on-top of a hill watching the sun-rise lost in her thoughts 'it's been so long since I saw them, I wonder if they know who I am…' Misty sighs. It was quiet and she was still lost in her sea of thoughts when a worried ash comes to sit down beside her. Misty didn't notice him until he spoke.
"You ok Mist?" Ash asked in a worried voice is brown eyes looking at Misty trying to once again read her emotions as he always did.
Misty jumped at the surprise of seeing Ash sitting next to her. 'Should I tell him?' misty though 'he is my best friend…but it's just too….strange' so she decided it was not the right time to tell him what it was that was on her mind. Her eyes connected with Ash's and she felt guilty as she lied to her best friend.
"I'm fine Ash" She forced a smile hoping that would convince him. Need-less to say it did not.
Ash frowned "I know you better then that, stop lying"
Misty look at Ash for a minute still trying to sort out her thoughts. 'Why is he making this so hard? Why can't he just leave?' 'Because he is your friend, and he cares about you' the voice inside Misty's head told her. 'Oh grate now I'm answering my own questions' 'better answer him'
"Yeah ash, there is something wrong, but it's just…..it's just to hard to talk about right now….I-I'll tell you someday, I just need to think of a few things first. Sort out the thoughts in my head"
Ash looked at her for a while before smiling "ok Mist but remember you can always come and talk to me." And with that said he left to go see when breakfast was going to be ready.
Misty sat there for a few more minutes before the smell of Brocks cooking got her to go back to camp. When Misty got back to see the three Pikachu's and Togepi where playing happily. She sat down on a log next to Elizabeth. Liz looked at Cheryl and Ash sitting on a log pigging out.
"Your both pigs" sigh "TAKE TIME TO CHEW WOULD YOU?!?"
Misty looked disgusted. "Yeah come on guys, YOUR ARE MAKING ME LOSSE MY APATIGHT"
Ash and Cheryl just looked at them before once again trying to out eat each other in a food eating contest. But soon Ash proved to be to much to Cheryl as she felt sick from eating so much, Ash was not done though and slowly he consumed the rest of the food and was ready to continue with there day.
Ash sat back on the log and sighed. "I'm stuffed thanx for breakfast Brock"
"No problem but maybe next time you might want to chew the food?"
Cheryl cut Ash off before he could answer and the conversation could turn into a fight. "So we leaving or what?"
Lizzy sighed putting her plate with left-over food down before answering. "Ok but you're NOT leading"
Cheryl looked disappointed while Ash looked excited. "Awe man!"
Ash punches the air "Alright I'll lead"
Misty, Lizzy, Brock: "NO!"
Cheryl and Ash fiddle with there thumbs as they look at the ground ashamed of there past direction experiences.
Brock looked at the two and smiled while standing up and starting to clean up this mornings mess. "I will lead; I want to go to the pokemon centre today to get some supplies"
Misty mumbled "and see nurse joy" under her breath and Brock swetdroped. After packing up their stuff and getting their pokemon ready they where on there way to Goldenrod with Brock leading; Ash and Cheryl were talking about pokemon behind Brock, while Liz and Misty at the back talking about anything and everything.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in the forest you can here a sound that seems to be two people fighting in a hushed voice so no-one will here.
"There they are! And look there are 2 other Pikachu's what a score! The boss will love us!" Said the female voice
"And dears Pikachu" Said the cat like pokemon with an evil grin
"Who are those new twerps?" Asked the male voice
There standing behind an oak tree stood a tall female with long red hair in an odd hair style; she wore a team rocket outfit and had blue eyes. There next to her was a male with green eyes and purple hair that was shoulder length, in-between them was a cat like pokemon known as Meowth. Oddly it was standing on to paws instead of four and it talked! The trio where known to follow Ash and co. everywhere, trying to still Pikachu, unfortunately for team rocket they would always screw up and get sent 'blasting of again'.
"Jessie can we take the air balloon I'm tired" wined the male with purple hair.
"NO! Now stop complaining James!" Jessie said as she hit James with her mallet.
"Will uses' to stop fighting! And think of a plan!" said the Meowth
Everyone was quiet for a moment before a light bulb went off in Jessie's head and formed a plan.
"I got it!" Jessie said as she pulled them into a circle telling them of her plan.
"That's perfect Jessie!" explained James.
All three grinned evilly before Jessie said "lets get started" she looked towards the path the 'twerps' just went down and said "be careful Pikachu were coming for you!"
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back with ash and co.
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Ash and co. had stoped for a rest to have some lunch, Cheryl and Ash where talking about having a pokemon battle, Brock was cooking and,
Misty was talking to Lizzy they where still talking until it hit Misty like a lightning bolt, she finally new who the two sisters where, this happened after she and Cheryl hit Brock over the head with their mallets for drooling over a girl walking by. She new who Lizzy 'could' be but was still unsure of Cheryl, she wanted so badly to say something but knew she would have to wait till she found out who Cheryl was. 'I want to ask her….she could be the key to my past! Although if I'm wrong then…Arrgghhh don't think of that Misty!' Misty was so distracted by her thoughts she did not know Lizzy was trying to get her attention and everyone now had stoped to look at her.
"EARTH TO MISTY!!!!!!!!" Lizzy shouted deafening everyone in a 50 mil radius.
Misty finally came out of her trance only to find a hand waving in her face and Lizzy yelling out her name while Ash Brock, and Cheryl gave her worried looks. 'Oops maybe someone wont notice something is wrong….please for once in your life Ash don't ask me what is wrong, please!!' Misty was wrong and Ash asked anyway.
"You ok Mist?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Misty forced on a smile to try and convince them.
Suddenly it hit Lizzy like it did misty, she new who she was and cursed her self for not knowing at first. 'OH MY GOD! I AM A TOTAL IDIOT! How could I not see this before!!!???!!!??!!' She looked at Ash, Brock, Misty and Cheryl. 'I wonder if they know. Knowing Cheryl she would not realise, she can be pretty dense but she is really smart…surely she knows.' Lizzy did not know how right she was.
((Cheryl's thoughts))
'Humm….who does she remind me of….oh I got it! IT'S HER!!!!! OH MY GOD! IT'S REALLY HER! Why didn't I know when I first saw her? Oh who cares? I found out now…'
Cheryl and Lizzy's eyes meet and in that second they new what each other had found out and they both new what each other was thinking.
Cheryl and Lizzy's thought. 'Our search is over'
