It happened because of a marrel
"Hey, Misty… Misty wake up!" I heard some noise. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw Brock. "Get up." Brock said to me before walking to his sleeping bag.
A yawn escaped my mouth as I got out of my sleeping bag. I saw the fire got extinguished. Maybe, Brock did it. I stood up and stretched my arms still in half sleep.
"Misty, please wake up Ash." Brock said to me while folding his sleeping bag.
"Ok…" I replied while walking to the asleep Ash. My sight was still blur because of my sleep. "Ash… Ash wake up." I moved Ash's shoulder. Pikachu was awake already busy eating the pokemon food with its favourite tomato ketchup.
"One minute more…" Ash replied before crawling deeper in his sleeping bag.
"Ash, it's time to wake up!" I slapped Ash's shoulder. That made me completely awake as my palm hurt a little.
"Ok-Ok…" Ash got seated and stretched his arms. "Where's Pikachu?" Ash faced me and asked.
"Busy eating breakfast." I pointed towards Pikachu sitting beside the extinguished fire.
"And Marill?" Ash asked.
"Um…" I started searching for marill. "Hey Brock, where's marill?"
Brock looked at me and replied, "Isn't it with Ash?"
"With me? No, it isn't, Brock." Ash replied while getting out from his sleeping bag.
"Where'd it go?" I stood up and began searching for the pokemon.
"I found it!" I heard Ash. I ran towards Ash who stood in front of our backpacks. Ash pointed towards his backpack. "There."
I saw the blue ball on marill's tail. I grabbed Ash's backpack and took out the pokemon by holding its tail. "There you are, little." I hold the marill in my hands. Suddenly marill jumped out of my hands and landed on Ash's head who was standing beside me. It seemed like the marill liked Ash very much.
"Ma…" The water pokemon said as it climbed up on Ash's shoulder.
"Oh, thanks Marill." Ash said before taking the marill in his arms and began patting its head.
"Why don't you stay with me, Marill? I am a water pokemon trainer." I said as I take the marill in my hands.
"Ma!" The marill slapped my cheek with its tail and jumped to Ash again.
"Ouch!" I said while rubbing my red cheek. "Why you little!"
"Haha! Looks like marill hates you, Misty." Ash teased me while hugging the marill.
"I don't care! Who wants this naughty?!" I said before walking to my sleeping bag, folded it and pushed it inside my backpack. I took out my comb and started combing my hair.
"Hey, there it is!" Ash shouted while pointing towards the city.
"Finally! We're here!" I ran towards Ash. "Togepi, we're here!" I hugged Togepi tight.
"Pi-pikachu!" Pikachu climbed up on Ash's head. "Ma!" Marill who was in Ash's arms, said with a smile.
"Let's go." Brock advised.
We entered the Pokemon Center.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Nurse Joy who was standing at the reception table asked us.
"Oh Hi, miss. You know, you look beautiful! What about going out with me for lunch?" As expected, Brock ran to the nurse and started flirting.
"Brock!" I stomped towards Brock and pulled his ear.
"Ouch!" Brock cried out but I didn't bother to care.
"Sorry for his behavior, Nurse Joy. Here, it would be good if you could examine my Pikachu and my other pokemons." Ash said while handing over his pokeballs to Nurse Joy.
"Ofcourse. Please wait here, sir." Nurse Joy answered with a smile and took the pokeballs and Pikachu with her inside her office followed by some Chelseas.
"Hey, mom! How are you?" Ash said to Mrs. Ketchum who appeared on the screen.
"Hey Ash dear, and Misty, Hi Pikachu and Br- where is Brock?" Mrs. Ketchum asked.
"He went out to buy food." Ash replied.
"It'll suit more if you say, he went out to flirt." I corrected.
"Yes, that's the point." Ash agreed before looking at the screen. "So, mom, how are you? Is everything alright there?"
"Totally wonderful, dear. How about you?"
"I am fully energized, mom! I really can't wait for my Orange League!"
"That's the spirit. Where are you going after this city?"
"Trovita Island, mom. I can't wait!"
"Well, good luck."
"He needs it, Mrs. Ketchum. Whenever he is over-confident, always we get lost and reach our destination after 1 or 2 weeks from our schedule." I commented.
"Hey, when did that happen?!" Ash stood up from his seat.
"Always, Mr. Ketchum!" I shouted.
"If that's the thing, then why don't you leave? I can do better without you, Misty!"
"Believe me, I wouldn't stay a sec with you if you return me my bike, Ash!"
"Oh, stop it darlings! Don't fight!" Mrs. Ketchum objected.
"Tell him!" I pointed to Ash.
"Hahaha! You know, it is said that the ones who fight a lot, they also care for one another a lot." Mrs. Ketchum said.
"I care about him/her? Never!" Ash and I said at the same time.
Mrs. Ketchum giggled. "Hey, Ash, can you give us women some personal space for a sec, please?"
"Huh…? But why, mom?" Ash asked. I too got a bit confused.
"Women got some personal talk, Ash! Now go!" Mrs. Ketchum waved her hand to Ash before giving me a smile.
"O-okay, mom." Ash looked at me before stepping away and out of the Pokemon Center. "Do you want to exercise, Pikachu?" I could hear Ash's voice before the automatic door closed.
"Misty, listen." Mrs. Ketchum said.
I sat on the seat before replying. "Yes? What do you wanna talk about, Mrs. Ketchum?"
"I was thinking that…"
~Time skip~
"Hey, Misty." Ash came running towards me. "What did mom tell you?"
That made me blush. "N-nothing." I turned around trying to avoid Ash.
"I bet, she talked about me, eh?" Ash walked in front of me.
"Nothing much, A-Ash…" I said before walking out of the Pokemon Center.
