Rainy Days Part 2
Done in Ash's P.O.V.
Two years. Two years since she left. I missed her terribly. Even when I went out with Mina, I knew I still loved Misty. I walked down the road, alone. Pikachu was gone; she had left with Misty. That was my fault. Every since I met Mina, I would turn down every chance I got to train my pokemon. Pikachu didn't get to battle for quite a while. That didn't get Pikachu all too thrilled. Tracey was gone too. He said that he was going to a big Pokemon Watchers convention.
"I don't know what I ever saw in Mina……. Well ok…. She looked great…. but not as great as Misty." My eyes started to water as I thought of the day I met Mina and lost all hope of going out with Misty.
~~~~**Flashback**~~~~
" Come on Misty! What is taking you so long in there?" I cried out.
"I'm almost done!" she cried when she stuck her face out the door, just a couple of inches away from my face. I hoped and prayed that I wasn't blushing. She pulled her head back into the door and closed it
I walked over to Tracey, who was talking to someone. It happened to be a girl. Okay not just a girl, a beautiful, gorgeous, attractive girl. Pikachu was sitting on my head, looking at the girl as if she didn't trust her. I went over to the girl and said hi. She said hi back, in the most beautiful voice I had ever heard. Well, not as nice as Misty's.
"My name is Ash Ketchum from the town of Pallet," I said, " What's your name?"
"I'm Mina," she said, looking directly at me. I blushed. We all got into a conversation. She told us she was a pokemon trainer and had already earned a badge in the Orange League.
" Why don't you come with us?" asked Tracey. It was kind of obvious he had it bad for Mina. That was when Misty came out of the room. I felt my heart flutter at the very sight of her.
"……Ok…… I'll join you guys. It's awfully lonely traveling by myself," she said in a sweet voice, looking directly at me. I could feel a blush run up my cheek then got an idea. If Mina and I became really close friends, then maybe Misty will become jealous! I know it's an evil thing to do but I couldn't help it.
" Ash……..Tracey……. I'm ready," said Misty, sounding a bit impatient.
" Who are you?" said Tracey, still in a trance.
"Tracey!!!!" Misty yelled. Misty then banged her mallet on his head.
" Oww……. Sorry Misty….."
" This is Mina. Mina, this is Misty," I said, kind of staring at Mina. I wanted to make Misty real jealous.
" Hi," said Mina, not turning away from me.
" Hi," said Misty, glaring at Mina. I thought that my plan would work out great. Boy, was I wrong.
~~~~**End of Flashback**~~~~
I kicked at a rock and watched it bounce down the road. I took out a map. Where am I? I traced my finger down the map and soon found out. Aquaria Island. The name of this island reminded me of Misty. I sighed and remember the day when I made a horrible mistake. This mistake totally cost me the one thing I wanted more in the world then being a pokemon master. My choice cost me Misty……….
~~~~**Flashback**~~~~
Mina had been traveling with us for quite a while. I spent every minute I had to be with her, hoping that Misty would become jealous and because Mina looked good. I started to ignore my duties as a pokemon trainer. Pikachu didn't like to sit on my hat anymore. Now Pikachu would sit on Misty's shoulder or have Misty carry her. I decided to take a break, since Mina was saying that it was pretty hot.
Misty said she was going to go look for some wild pokemon. She was becoming a better pokemon trainer then me. Pikachu jumped onto her shoulder. From that point on I ignored them, trying to concentrate on what Mina was saying.
" Um Ash. Can I ask you something? Something kind of personal?" said Mina. Her voice was kind of shaky. I wondered what she was thinking about.
" Sure Mina. You can ask me anything," I said. Was she going to ask me what I was hoping she would? I wanted to be her boyfriend for a while. Make Misty real mad and jealous.
" Will you…. Ash…. What I want to ask you is…. Ash Ketchum, will you be my boyfriend?"
I grinned. "Sure! I'll be your boyfriend!"
"Really!?!" cried Mina. She then wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. I wrapped my arms around her, looking out of the corner of my eye. Misty looked shocked. I decided to carry it even further. I pulled in Mina and kissed her hard. The kiss felt like nothing though. I was thinking of Misty the whole time. Mina let me go.
" I love you so much……..I knew from the day I saw you that I liked you……" said Mina.
" You're so great……You are the most beautiful girl in the world….." I said. But these words are what I really wanted to say to Misty when I told her how much I liked her. Mina and I kissed again then she took my hand into hers.
" Okay Tracey, Misty. It's time to go," I said happily. This was my first time kissing a girl. It didn't mean much to me though. We headed toward town to get a hotel room. Misty seemed to stay far away from the group. When we got our rooms, Misty didn't say a thing and went to her room. She didn't even come out for dinner. I saw room service knock on her door and give her food. After dinner I lied down on my bed and looked at the ceiling. Did I do the right thing? What about Mina's feelings? I don't really love her. I'm just using her. I love Misty…….. With that I feel asleep.
~~~~**End of Flashback**~~~~
I took out my food sack and looked in it. Nothing again. I can't make any money, since my pokemon don't listen to me. I didn't have any water in my bottle again too. I wiped away the sweat from my forehead and kept walking. I planned to find someone to battle with, so I could get some money. Maybe I could find Misty here. I thought about the very last time I saw Misty. It hurt me so much to think about it………
~~~~**Flashback**~~~~
Mina woke me up the next morning and we went downstairs to wait for Misty. Mina got me a little worked up and the next moment we were making out. It didn't feel me up emotionally though. The whole time I thought about Misty. Misty finally came out of her room.
" Took you long enough," said Tracey, looking up from his magazine.
" You won't have to wait for me any longer…….. I'm gonna leave you guys and continue on my journey alone," She said in an emotionless tone. It scared me to hear Misty talk like that.
" Pika! Pikachu! Kachu! Pikachu!" No! You can't go Misty!
" Pikachu's right…….We need you to stay with us Misty," said Tracey, dropping the magazine on the floor.
I broke apart from Mina. This news shocked me. Misty was leaving!?! I think that my plan backfired on me.
" Why do you guys need me. I don't do anything. Besides, you have Mina now."
" What about your bike? I haven't paid you back yet," I said, trying to find a way to get her to stay. I wouldn't be able to live without Misty.
" All the time I've been using Togepi to battle……..I've saved up enough money to take care of myself and get a new bike. Besides, I could always use Totodile and Togechikku and my other pokemon to battle for more money."
" You got new pokemon? Togepi evolved?" I asked, confused. Was I really paying that much attention to the world around me?
" Yes. You haven't paid much attention, have you Ash? I wouldn't have expected you to. I see there are some distractions for you. You haven't trained up your pokemon every since…. Well, right now isn't the most perfect time to leave though. But to get where I need to go I need to leave now. Bye you guys. I'll see you again……someday……."
Pikachu jumped onto her shoulder.
"Pika! Pika! Chu! Pikachu! I'm going with you! Ash doesn't want to train pokemon anymore, all he wants is to be with his girlfriend. He doesn't care about me anymore!!
" Pikachu? You can't go with Misty! I order you not too!" I cried. I was going to lose my best friend too!?! I couldn't let that happen. I loved them both too much.
" Pika Pika! Chu! Chu! Pi! Chu! You don't want to train pokemon anymore! I don't like you like that! I'm going to stay with Misty! These words tore into my body and ripped my heart. I was that uncaring for my pokemon?
"It's okay Ash. You don't need Misty or Pikachu. You have me now," said Mina. She then brought me into a long kiss. I tried to resist but her grip was too strong.
Misty walked out of the hotel and brought out Blastiose. Togechikku huddled under her arms. She wrapped Pikachu and Togechikku in her long cloak. She hopped onto Blastiose's back and made it so that an umbrella covered Blastiose's whole body, since it was raining. Then rode off. I finally broke away from Mina and ran out the hotel door. They were going out of my sight.
" MMMIIIISSSSSTTTTYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!" I shouted after her, wiping away my tears as I fell to my knees.
"Misty….I love you….." I whispered as she drifted out of my sight.
~~~~**End of Flashback**~~~~
My strength started to fail me. That memory would have brought tears to my eyes, but I had cried myself dry. I started to stagger. My legs finally gave out on me. I fell onto someone's front yard and fainted. My last thoughts before this were of how much I would give to see Misty again……..

The next part may take me a while to write but don't worry! I'm working on it!
