-1Chapter 1 - A Decision
I sat with Brock staring into the vastness of space. We had stopped to make camp for the night and were relaxing before bed.
"So Ash what are you thinking about?" Brock questioned me.
"Its nothing, I'm just tired," I responded
"Don't lie to me, I know what your thinking," he said to me sarcastically.
"You know me to well," I chuckled.
"You don't have to fake it to me, I know you miss her," he said calmly.
I drooped my head and sighed. "I know, but I love her so much, why am I still here while she is there?" I questioned.
"Well are you afraid to tell her, I know for a fact that she would love you back," Brock said to me.
"Now how would you know that?" I asked him with enthusiasm.
"I just know Ash, you know we are not that far from the gym you can go to her," he told me.
"I know, but what would I say?" I asked.
"What else is there to say besides 'I love you'," he chuckled.
I laughed a little bit too. I felt stupid for asking such a dumb question. I've felt like this for years. I've been with Misty through all the fun and pain and now we were heading separate ways. But I couldn't cope with it. I needed her in my life. Not just be in it but to be the center of it.
"I'll do it Brock!" I shouted excitedly.
"Well then what are you doing waiting here? Get your ass in gear and get back to the gym!" he shouted loud and proud.
I nodded and grabbed my bag and signaled for Pikachu and he came running and hooped on my shoulder. "Pika! Pika!" cheered Pikachu. "Yeah Pikachu were gonna go see Misty," I said to him.
I ran off towards the Cerulean Gym, towards my love, and my future..
