Dear Diary,

Alright, this entry is gonna be a huge improvement on last night's entry! You see, today I learned that an old friend of mine was in town for a lecture about Pokémon behavior. Can you guess who? Professor Oak! Ok, perhaps I should've actually asked you a legitimate question…that would make me weird…weird like the Kanto psychic-type Gym Leader Sabrina. Anyhow, Professor Oak came to town! He's like, the foremost mind on Pokémon in the world! Now let me get this straight; I don't need to learn anything and he doesn't really know anything I would want to know in regards to Pokémon. My excitement about his being here was totally about the fact that I haven't seen him in forever.

I figured this out when he dropped by the gym around noon. He talked to my sisters, poor guy, while I swam unknowing of his presence. By the time I was out and dry, my demented sisters had already gone and made the man lunch and everything. Fortunately for him, one of Cerulean's fastest rising stars was set to have some big battle and my sisters chose not to miss it for the world. This left me time to actually talk to the man myself.

He told me about how things were doing in Pallet Town and how Ash's mom was. The most surprising thing he told me was that Gary had acquired a girlfriend. Can you believe that? A jerk like Gary goes and gets a girlfriend! I was understandably shocked. Apparently, he was in Johto doing some research or something and he ran into the…crap…I think I forgot…Goldenrod City maybe…I don't know; he ran into a Gym Leader and struck up a relationship with her. I wish I could remember exactly what Oak had said, because Ash would love to hear that.

Speaking of Ash, Professor Oak actually had some news about him. According to him, Ash's Pokémon were getting really strong. The ones that stood out most were his Muk and especially his Snorlax. Oak told me that he had never seen a Snorlax as strong as Ash's and gushed to me about how proud he was of the boy. Of course I agreed, I'm proud of him too. Oak asked me if I'd heard from Ash lately as he had yet to contact anyone in Pallet Town for about a week. This worried me a bit. Ash wasn't one to keep his mother waiting for a call.

What reassured me was that Ash was with Brock and that meant that they were all okay. Brock wouldn't let anything happen to my Ash. That's for certain. Plus, if something was very wrong, then Ash's Charizard would've saved the boy like it always does. However, Oak's worries did nothing but re-birth my own fears regarding the sultry May.

NO! I can't let myself fall back into that line of thought! Ash would never fall for a girl like her! He just wouldn't…I hope. After all, Brock told me that Ash liked butts better than breasts and that happens to be one of the few areas where I beat May. I can credit all the swimming I do for my cute butt; which could honestly be one of my last defenses against all that May has to offer Ash.

Anyway…onto more present matters…I think my sisters know where I'm hiding this diary. They've dropped hints about it and I've overheard them discussing it. I'd never forgive them if they found it. There isn't much written inside of this thing, but what's there is embarrassing for anyone but me to know. That's why I've got this great hiding spot for my diary. It's so good! Nobody will be able to find it once I hide it there.

Well…crap…I'm really tired right now and my day tomorrow is gonna be a busy one. You know how Saturdays are for gyms. Busiest day of the week and I have to do a lot of training on Wednesday, provided none of the trainers manage to critically injure any of my Pokémon. Oh well, time for sleep, goodnight!

Sincerely,

Misty
