"Oh my goodness it's you!" Misty shrieked. She darted towards Ash.

"Whoa Misty, it's nice to see you too," Ash said, trying to push her off of him. "But really, it's time to battle."

"Well fine Ash, I will battle you, but know this, I've trained long and hard for battles against trainers. And if you are still the same Ash Ketchum I knew six years ago, then this will be a piece of cake," Misty taunted. Ash only chuckled. "What's so funny?!" Misty asked loudly.

"Misty Misty Misty… You don't think that I've trained long and hard these past six years? Wow, is that what you really think of me?" Ash gasped.

"No, Ash, that's not what I think!" Misty said, defending herself. "Well whatever, let's battle." Misty threw out her first Pokémon, her Starmie. "This is gonna be a three-on-three battle, if all three Pokémon faint, you will lose the challenge, blah blah blah you know the rest." Ash readied his belt and took a pokéball off of it. He threw it into the air.

"Go Bayleef!" Ash commanded. Instantly, Bayleef popped out of the pokéball. The Pokémon's eyes lit up with excitement when it appeared in front of Misty. "Oh look, Bayleef remembers you."

"Well she better!" Misty said happily. "Now, Starmie, use Psychic!" Starmie shot a wave of psychic energy to the Bayleef. Bayleef took it hard, knocking into the wall, then the water. "Ha! Betcha didn't expect that, huh?" Misty taunted.

"You did get stronger Misty," Ash said in awe. "But not strong enough for this! Bayleef, now use Power Whip!" Two green whips came out from below the water and shot Starmie up into the air. Soon after, Bayleef jumped onto the platform. "I now bet that you didn't expect that either!"

"Hmmm, now I guess that we're even Ash," Misty said. "Until now, Starmie, now use Hydro Cannon!" The Hydro Cannon hit Bayleef right in the chest, making the Pokémon faint. "Yes, one for Misty, zero for Ash!" Misty cheered. "Starmie, come back. Now, show whose boss Golduck!" Golduck appeared right next to Misty's bag. "Gosh Golduck, let me release you for once. Well, I guess that old habits never get old."

"Wait, you mean that that Golduck is…" Ash whispered, pointing to the Pokémon.

"Yes Ash, this is the infamous Psyduck that always had a headache and had free will pretty much. Psyduck evolved long ago, around when I left…" Misty drabbled on. "Anyways, release your next Pokémon Ash!"

"Ok… well I'll send out Glalie!" Glalie erupted out of the pokéball, almost breaking the ball. "Now Glalie, quickly use Ice Beam!" Golduck was hit in the stomach by the Ice Beam attack, freezing the Pokémon. "Now hit it with your body slam!" Glalie slammed into Golduck, making it topple into the water still frozen. "I guess that your pokemon is now unable to battle. Now Misty, release your final Pokémon!" Ash yelled. Misty's face looked like she was going to explode into a zillion pieces.

"If you want a final Pokémon, then you will get a final pokemon!" Misty yelled back. "I choose you, Kingdra!" Kingdra plummeted into the water.

"Well if you are going to play that game, then I will just send out a simple Pokémon. Pikachu, attack the Kingdra with Thunder!" Pikachu darted from behind Ash and splashed into the water. He then used Thunder. Kingdra shot out of the water and landed onto the platform. "I guess I won then! Another victory accomplished!" Ash cheered.

"Kingdra… return," Misty mumbled as she held out her pokéball. She walked up to Ash. "Great job Ash. You trained long and hard for this win. I'm real proud of you Ash Ketchum."

"Wow, thanks Misty," Ash thanked. There was a long pause. "You did great too, Mist. I thought that you really did awesome. You rocked that pool like it was your main domain." He took a step towards her.

"Well, it is my domain, and you know that," Misty replied. "Gosh Ash, you weren't kidding when you said that you are a Pokémon master now. Back, like say, six years ago, I thought that there were way better trainers out there. But now after this battle, you are the best, at least in my eyes." Misty took a step towards Ash as well. They were mere inches apart.

"Misty, for the longest time now, I have been holding in these feelings," Ash began. "These feelings are for you. Back then, before you left, I was so dumb. I didn't realize what a gorgeous girl you are. But, years after you left, I finally realized my mistake. I didn't know at fourteen that I was in love with the one and only Misty Waterflower." Misty's eyes gleamed like a shining moon. She wrapped her arms around him. She began to cry.

"Ash, I love you too," She whispered while she continued to cry. "I never thought that you would ever feel the way I do. Ash, this is great news."

"Wait, I should tell you something else as well," Ash went on. "After you left in Malniu, I was angry, really angry. I felt like I wasn't myself. Well, until Dorina came by. Dorina was a somewhat new trainer that started late, like at my age at the time. She was somewhat temperamental and stubborn, like you were when I first met you. And like you, she became nice, but maybe a little too nice. After a couple of years, we were basically together. Yet, she got entangled into a web of deceit, lies, and Team Rocket. Actually, she was an admin the whole time. I fell into her trap. I escaped from her, but she is still after me and my Pokémon. Misty, I'm not safe," Ash finished. Misty quickly released herself from him. Ash began once more. "Misty, if we are to be together, we need to either defeat Team Rocket or run away for forever. You don't have to be with me if you don't want this, though. It's your choice."

"Ash, sometimes you are so thick. I love you, and I want to be with you," Misty replied. She then kissed him. "I've been waiting for that for a long time," she explained.

"Misty, I will never leave you, I promise," Ash promised.

"And Ash, I will never leave you again, I promise," Misty said sweetly. "So, when are going to kick Team Rocket's sorry butts?"
