Hi everyone!
Thank you all for your reviews! To be honest I thought I wasn't going to get any reviews at all for at least a week!
I have sent a PM to the one's I could and explained why I did some things. Hopefully you see where I am coming from!
Here is another chapter! Hope you enjoy!
After Misty cleaned herself up in the mirror she saw the clock and realized it was eight o'clock and thought she would shower and then make her way down stairs to cook breakfast. After showering and changing into her clothes she wore yesterday she went downstairs to see that Delia was making bacon and eggs on toast.
"Hi Misty, did you have a good sleep?" Delia asked. "Yeah, it was alright." Misty lied. For whatever reason he couldn't get that dream out of her head. She has had it for four years and it has never changed. Misty always thought the dream was a curse put on her, to remind her of all the opportunities she didn't take, the ones that were waved in front of her face and yet she didn't take them.
Meanwhile in Route 1…
"Are we there yet?" The youngest boy groaned.
"Stop whining Max were almost there." His sister said.
"May," the younger sibling said softly "do you think he would be proud of me today?"
May stopped in her tracks, wearing her usual red head band and red top with her black and white gloves, biker shorts and red sneakers, went down to Max's eye level and looked him straight in the eye and said in a shaky voice " Max he would be proud of all of us."
She then turned and jogged ahead to catch up with the other boys and Dawn, she also didn't want to Max to see her crying. "Hey May, are you ok?" the bluenette asked. "Huh… Oh, yeah I'm fine thanks Dawn." May replied in an almost whisper. "Are you su-" She saw the looks on the two boys faces around her and took the hint on not to press the topic.
"HEY! WAIT UP GUYS!" The youngest of the five shouted as he ran up to the group.
"Why were you going to slow?" the man with short spiky asked him.
"I WAS walking with May but she ran ahead." Max said directing a certain word to his older sister.
"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO START A FIGHT WITH ME MISTER!" May shouted back.
"OH YEA-"Max replied in an even louder voice.
"Guys," the long spiky brown haired boy interrupted, "we're here."
Back at the Ketchum residence…
*DING-DONG*
"I'll get it!" Misty said out loud as she ran towards the door.1
In front of her she saw five people that she considered her closest friends. The brunette stood at a 5' 9", had beautiful long hair that reached half way don her back, her hips had become more curvy since last time Misty saw her and her chest as well, packing a C-cup, she wore black biker shorts that showed a lot of thigh and a red shirt, she wore black skate shoes with purple stitching. The bluenette stood next the May Maple just standing a couple of inches shorter than May, she also had become more curvy with her hips widening and she also packed a C-cup. The two boys behind the coordinators stood both a few inches above six foot both with brown spiky short hair. The older of the two, Brock, was with Ash when Misty travelled with them around Johto, Kanto and the Orange Islands, he was Misty's closest friend. He wore a blue sleeveless jacket with a black shirt and brown cargo pants, he wore plan black skate shoes. The boy next to him was once Ash's rival, and once apon a time she hated this boy but they were on good circumstances now, he had his hair gelled up and was wearing a black t-shirt and purple pants. The smallest of the group was shorter than everybody by a good foot or so, he wore black shorts and a blue trainer's shirt with his round glasses and white sneakers.
"Hey guys!" Misty greeted them.
"Hey Misty!" May said as she pulled her into a hug. She hugged Brock and Dawn and had a hand shake with Gary and picked up Max and pulled him into a bone crunching hug. Misty felt like Max only really took Ash's disappearance as hard as she did. After greeting them Misty bought the group inside and told them to sit down on the sofa and went to make tea. Delia entered the room after Misty left and greeted everyone with open arms.
Misty came back into the room with seven cups of tea. "So how have you guys been? How come you are travelling together again?" Misty asked.
"We have all been good thanks Misty, "Dawn replied "As for why we are travelling together it's because we want to remember the good days, when A-"she couldn't bring herself to say his name "when he was with us." The group nodded in a slight sadness remembering there friends. "Also" Dawn continued "Max has been invited to go to a tournament that only holds the most talented trainers, the Cinis Conference it's being held in the Van Gaal Isles, it's its first year of action but many big names are going to be there from the completive battling scene."
"Wow! That's really amazing Max!"
"Thanks Misty!" Max said in an overconfident voice. "I know I can make it all the way!" The whole house giggled at his over confidence.
"Misty, we didn't come here just to remembering our times with Ash," May said "we came here to ask you if you want to come with us."
"So will you?" Brock asked.
"Yeah come on Misty it'll be fun!" Max added on.
"No." Misty said in a voice that sounded a little defensive.
The whole group was taken aback by the tone that Misty used.
"I am glad that you came to remember Ash and I am flattered that you came all the way here to ask me if I wanted to go, but I don't want to." Misty explained with the same tone she said when she refused there offer.
"Oh." Dawn said, she felt like that she was held responsible for Misty saying this too the group. It was her idea after all. She just wanted everyone back together. "That's alright Misty, if you don't want to you don't have to."
Misty eyed her down feeling bad about the tone she used. "I'm sorry Dawn, I just don't think I want to go to another tournament for a long time." Misty said. 'I just don't think I am ready yet.' She thought to herself.
Two days later…
Everybody in the Ketchum residence wok early the next morning and left the house without having breakfast and made their way over to the Pallet Town beach. They did this every year since he has left, they thought that if was any day to come back it would be the date that he left on. Misty and her friends stood with their feet in the cool ocean water thinking about all the times they had with the raven haired boy. They thought about his deep brown caring eyes and his childish ways, his love for Pokémon and how he saw them as equals. The countless times he saved one of group's lives and how he asked for nothing back in return. How he would go out of his way to help a Pokémon or a person in need of help. They thought of how unique Ash was. How special he was. What he gave and what he asked for.
They watched the sunrise come up until it reached the middle of the sky as if it was standing on top of them. They all walked back to the house in silence.
Later on that day the group of five friends were going to leave. Misty watching them pack almost regretted saying to Dawn's offer. The group was just about into the taxi on the way to port.
"WAIT!" the group turned around to see a red head carrying her suitcase with her "I WANT TO COME WITH!"
Somewhere off the radar…
A man was sitting on a beach by himself alone. He looked out over the horizon of the ocean. He then quickly rolled to his left hand side narrowly dodging a blue orb of dragon power. He then jumped into the water to dodge a blast of fire. He stood up in the water and quickly saw the Pokémon attacking him. "C'mon guys I thought I had taught you better than this." The man said to his Pokémon. He then immediately regretted saying that as a certain Pokémon snuck up behind him and Iron Tailed him taking out his legs and falling into the water. "Damn, so stupid!" Ash yelled out loud, he looked behind him to see that his first Pokémon had snuck up behind him. "I forgot about you Pikachu! I forgot you were training too, hahaha!" Ash laughed at his foolishness. "Well played Garchomp and Typhlosion!" Ash shouted. "You can come out now!" The two powerful Pokémon walked towards their trainer and greeted him with a smile. Ash patted Garchomp's nose and scratched Typhlosion's back. "Let's head back to HQ boys and get some rest, sounds good eh?" Ash asked his Pokémon. Their own unique cries sounded joyful enough to know what the Pokémon's answers were.
No more than 15 minutes latter…
"Hey Sceptile, what's up?"
"Scep scpet scpetile!"
"Really a visitor? Is it one of them?" Ash asked with obvious concern in his voice.
"Scep"
"Ok then! Let's meet our visitor!" Ash said with a kind smile to one of his fastest and strongest Pokémon.
Surrounded by many Pokémon form different regions around the world stood a Pidgey that was shaking so bad it shook rocks around it. Yet it still held tight to the note that was in its beak.
"Hey there Pidgey," said Ash in a kind tone "can I read this letter?"
The Pidgey dropped the letter on the ground and flew up to a high branch in one of the closest trees, where it felt safe. Ash read the letter.
Dear Ash,
Long time no see! You have been off the radar for quite a while now it hasn't been easy to track you down! How's Pikachu? Good I hope. Let's cut straight to the point now. There is a tournament coming up, a big one. I, Scott, think that this would be a perfect opportunity for you to make your entrance back into this world. Tournament is being held in three days' time, it's being called the Cinis Conference. I heard Max Maple is entering and you would have to use your real name by the top 8. I know it would be hard to go back to your old friends after this long but there is no use delaying. I hope you can join us. The entrance form is attached.
Hope to see you soon,
Scott.
"Well I'll be damned, how on earth did he track me all the way out here?" He asked to no one in particular. "Maybe he can use aura." joked a certain jackal like Pokémon. "I highly doubt it Lucario." Ash replied.
'They will be there,' Ash thought 'who knows maybe I won't even make it into the top 8. But if I did want to go I would have to get that upgrade. Do my Pokémon even want to go?'
"Everyone! Gather round I have to ask you all something!" Ash shouted out loud enough so that all his Pokémon training around the island could hear.
In no less than two minutes all his Pokémon, some new some old, were gathered around him.
"Now that we are all here, I have a question to ask," Ash said so all his Pokémon could hear "I know all of you are some of the strongest of your species in the world, I know some of you are fastest or smartest. But do you think we are ready to go back to civilization yet? Do you think that we are ready to take on whatever challenge comes our way?" Ash said gradually getting louder with each word he spoke. "Do you think that we can come the most powerful force the world has ever seen? Do you think that we can show the world what ASH KETCHUM is really made of?" Ash was at the point of screaming. All his Pokémon did a unified growl or shot colorful move up into the air. "Well I guess it is settled then," Ash said calming down "We leave tomorrow to Sinnoh, I must also fill this form out so if you guys could give me an hour of peace that would be nice." Ash smiled and went away to a flat boulder to fill out the form given to him by Scott.
After filling the form out Ash decided to tell his Pokémon about the tournament. He explained that his old friends would be there and Max Maple would be competing, this made some of the Pokémon even more keen to get to the tournament.
Later that night on a certain ship…
"You know Misty, there might be some really cute guys at this tournament!" Dawn squealed with excitement.
"Yeah maybe." Misty replied with a halfhearted tone.
"Or maybe you can do a whole ton of shopping with me and May!" the bluenette continued without noticing that her red head friend was barely listening. 'I just hope that he will be there…' Misty thought. She thought it was close to hell being stuck in a cabin with Dawn and her rambling on about all the shops she would visit at the Van Gaal Isles. It's not that she didn't like Dawn, she was one of Misty's closest friends. But life has been hell ever since he left Misty. He meant the world to her and any one could of seen that when they were travelling together. 'Everyone except him of course.' Misty thought. When Misty was searching for him boys would try to ask Misty out but she shot 'em down like an Ice Beam to a Dragonite. Misty didn't care how much money they had our how many Gym Badges they had or how much street cred they had. She just wanted him. As Dawn kept blabbering on about shops and pretty dresses, Misty started to drift off.
In Misty's dreams that night…
"HE'S GONE! GOOOONNNNEEEEE!" Misty shouted, her voice sounded horse and full of grief.
Delia quickly read it as tears began to fall down her face as she read the contents of the note.
Dear Mom, Brock, Dawn, May, Max, Prof. Oak, Gary and Misty.
I have realized that if I keep travelling around the world with friends or family I think I will never fulfill my dream of becoming a Pokémon master. So I have left tonight, with all my Pokémon I have gathered over the years and I will go and train. Do not try and follow me, do not try and contact me and do not miss me.
From Ash.
Misty woke up with a jump and looked at the time, realizing that the sun would be rising soon she got changed and went up to the deck of a ship to watch the sunrise over the horizon.
The sight was beautiful. The ball of fire splashing orange and yellow rays onto the clear blue water of the Val Gaal islands, with Goldeen and Remoraid jumping in and out of the water. A Wailord majestically flipping its tail out of the water and Gyarados jumping out of random places in the water. It really was a beautiful place to be.
"Can't sleep?" A man asked Misty.
"I guess so." Misty replied, the man walked up next to Misty and leant on the railings just like her.
"I guess you miss him still," the man said to Misty "I miss him too."
Surprised at this Misty turned her head to see a purple haired boy dressed in a full red tracksuit with black stripes down the sides and black sneakers.
"I wouldn't think that the cold hearted Paul would feel sad for one of his rivals to go missing." Misty said with a smirk on her face.
"I didn't think that Paul would ever care, but he taught me more than anyone else." Paul replied in a kind tone.
"You really have come a long way since when I first met you."
"I know that, he showed me how great Pokémon and the world really is, if I ever see him again I would like to thank him. You aren't the only one who misses him."
"I know that, but it seemed like I was the one that missed him the most."
"Maybe."
"I went searching for him as well you know." Paul added eager for the conversation to keep going. "I went to every peak of each mountain, the darkest pit of every cave, the most remote part of each Victory Road. Nothing. I gave up a few years ago, went to the top of Mt. Silver, did intense training, then on the day I was going to back down to the bottom. I saw a Charizard with a boy on its back, not saying that it was him but it's my only clue that I had no him. I followed that Charizard. It was going East, I kept following it for about a month, and then I lost it. It ended up somewhere never Blackthorn City, my best guess right now is that he is at the Dragon's Den."
Misty looked at Paul, smiled said her thanks for the conversation and walked back to her cabin to tell the others the news.
Back with Ash…
"Finally in Sinnoh! Been a long time since we have been in this town Pi!" Ash said to his partner sitting on his shoulder. "But first before we go anywhere else we must go to a mall, I need some new threads."
Ash walked into the Jubilife City and went to the nearest mall, got rid of his old Sinnoh clothes that he had worn for 4 years, and got a blue hoodie, a white t-shirt and black pants with a pair of black and green skate shoes.
Ash then made his way to Sandgem Town to talk to a certain Professor. He walked up to the pokemon lab and knocked.
"Hello Prof. Rowan!" he said with a big smile on his face.
"Hello! How may I help you?" the Prof. said with a gruff voice.
"I would like to get my Pokédex upgraded please."
"Very well step inside. Just put it into the slot in the large machine there."
"Sure thing."
"This Pokédex belongs to Ashton Jay Ketchum." The machine said.
Prof. Rowan turned around with shock on his face.
"A-Ash…" he managed to say.
"Yes, it is me Professor Rowan."
"B-But your meant to be d-dead."
"Is that so? I think I am alive and well enough. Can you please update my Pokédex as well? I am running on a tight schedule."
"Yes yes yes, of course ma boi! Anythang, anything at all for you."
"I must also ask you to keep quite that I came here. A lot of people want to meet me."
"Sure ma boi, sure. Now 'ere be yours Pokédex. You can hold up to as many Pokémon as you want nows."
"Thanks Prof. Rowan. See you around." Ash said as he closed the door behind him.
Ash then called out one of his most trusted Pokémon and he set towards the Van Gaal Isles.
Wow, that took a long time to update…
SOO SORRY! TO clarify this is a Misty x Ash fan fic.
But know we should get into the thick of things. I will try to update soon, but no promises.
If you haven't noticed I have changed the summary of the story and the plot as well. I think I can make a better story using this plot.
