An Unexpected Event

That morning as the sun bean to rise over the mountains, Malic entered Joel's cell..

"Time to go, my pet.." Malic gloated. He placed a dark crystal on Joel's forehead. All Joel felt was pain.. In a flash of black light he became a Rapidash, the fire horse pokemon. There were a few differences.. His eyes were crimson red, full of sadness and anger. As for his mane, It was as black as the night..

Malic saddled his "Horse" and headed off to face the Chosen One in battle. As they left all that Joel thought was,

'Ash, , I am so sorry..' a lone tear escaped his eye..

Ash decided it would be a better idea to surprise Misty on her birthday by singing his song to her on Cerulean Cape which was known as the most romantic spot in Kanto. This idea was one which Ash was very proud of as was his mother by the way who responded by saying

"A true romantic just like your father."

Ash was not sure what this meant but he was sure it was good after all.

When his mom talked about his father(which was rarely and never in front his friends) it was always with a positive things to say. From what he had put together, his father was strong, courageous, wise, and always helped those in need. Ash never knew his own dad. He knew his mom was hiding something from him. He had one of those "you will find out when the time comes." feelings. To get his mind off his father and the song perfect for Misty's birthday he practiced each day.

Then one day however, Misty had come to deliver his invitation to her party in person. This would change everything. As she headed up the garden to the Ketchum's front door she heard the end of the most beautiful melody she ever heard. As she peeked though the window she could not believe her eyes. Ash.. Playing the piano? He never told her he could do that. Suddenly Ash stopped playing. He smiled

"I know your listening at the window." he said calmly.

Misty was astonished 'how did he know..'

Then his mother came into the living room.

"Dear, did you say something?" she asked

"We have a "certain" visitor outside, Mom.".

Delia understood immediately. She remembered that Ash had the sacred ability of Aura. And the way he said certain she was quickly able to put it together. "I'll get it."

Misty had already gotten to the door was waiting for Mrs. Ketchum to open it.

"Misty, come on in." Mrs. Ketchum greeted.

"Thanks, I only came to drop off the invitation to my party this weekend."

"We'll Be there, Count on it." Ash told her.

Ash immediately used telepathy to send a message to his mother letting her know what he was up to.

"I going to work in the garden for a bit, call me if you need anything."
