Whoa! Alot of reviews!

please read my first fanfic, More than just Best Friends, thankyou! The poke'mon in the poem was very well done to those who guessed right...
Piplup!
Well, enjoy this chapter!
There might be a swear word in tnis chapter. just to warn you.
This chapter is dedicated to Avril Lavigne's new album Goodbye Lullaby being released, who knows? There maybe a songfic on one of the new tracks soon!
Team Rocket appeared from the hedges, and opened thier mouthes to rehearse their motto.
But they were immediately shut up by a certain redhead, who spotted them and began giggling uncontrollably.
"What's so funny?" James asked, he was genuinely confused by the ginger haired teenage girl who was rolling on the floor in fits of giggles.
"I can't believe you guys are STILL stalking Ash, I mean, you guys have followed him around since he was ten, so that would mean, you've been 'following' Ash for..." Misty wondered, rubbing the tears from her eyes merrily.
Iris and Cilan watched in amazement as the newest girl of the group continued to laugh without a care in the world.
"For Five years, 7 months, 24 days, 8 minutes and 12, make that 13 seconds." James mumbled, before he was silenced as Jesse clobbered him round the head hard.
"Shut it ya idiot! Ya makin' us sound like stalkers!" Meowth hissed, adding his mark to James' now scratched face.
"I'm sorry," Iris exclaimed, "Am I MISSING something!" She yelled, making Axew scurry behind Pikachu in worry, when Iris got mad she was as unpredictable as a herd of mankey.
"Huh? Who are YOU?" Misty inquired, poking her delicate finger at an infuriated purple haired, red faced Iris.
"I am Iris, Ash's BEST friend." she growled, making Psyduck cover his ears and cry in fright.
Misty noticed her crying duck and ran to comfort him.
"Hey! Don't scare my psyduck! And I'M Ash's best friend! Isn't that right Ash?" Misty answered, her cerulean eyes narrowing and never leaving Iris's indigo ones.
Ash just stepped back, "Uh guys, um, girls, sorry, you're both my Best friends." Ash sweatdropped, feeling the two agitated girl's stares on him.
"Hey! We are still here!" Jesse hollered, attempting to reclaim their audience.
"And we didn't even get to say the motto..." James sighed, his head in his hands.
"I AM!"
"NO! I AM!"
"NOT!"
"AM!"
"NO NO NO NO NO!"
"YES YES YES YES YES!" Iris bellowed, pushing the redhead forcefully, making her even angrier.
"Ash would never like a GINGER!" Iris yelled, smirking, well, that was until, her eye caught Ash and Brock's, well, Brock hasn't got eyes, well, he's got those squinty lines hasn't he?, but, so how does he see? he must be able to see someh..., aaaaanywaaaays...
Brock looked at Iris, a frightened look apparent on his face. Iris looked at Ash.
The raven haired boy just covered his eyes, as if waiting for something to happen...
Cilan just stood there, watching Pikachu who covered his ears for an unknown reason.
"BAM!"
Iris screeched as the accusing redhead's fist made contact with her cheek, knocking her back several feet, clutching her face.
"Iris! Are you alright?" Cilan hollered, knocking Pansage off his shoulder and rushing forward to help Iris up.
Iris's face was dark and angry, making even Team Rocket quiver at the young girl's expression.
"You BITCH!" She screamed, lunging at Misty with all her might.
Misty hadn't been expecting the surprise attack, so she skidded to the floor with a sickening thud as Iris dived at her.
Misty tried to yell out as Iris punched her hard, square in the jaw, she then kicked Misty's knee, which Misty hadn't been prepared for. Misty screamed as loud as she could, the pain coursing through her body like ten thousand volts might.
Misty just lead there, struggling to break free and dodging the wild punches Iris kept dealing.
Suddenly, Iris felt herself being grabbed roughly, and pulled backwards.
A pair of bony fingers wrapped around her waist. Cilan struggled to hold onto the kicking violet haired girl as she screamed words of abuse at Misty, who tried to lunge at Iris.
Her fist was only a few inches away from Iris's nose when she felt somebody grab her under her arms, and drag her away from Iris. Wriggling and screaming, Misty struggled in the person's grip.
"Misty, Iris STOP!" Ash screeched, his russet eyes that were usually calm and kind now furious and dissapointed.
Misty slowed down as Ash's angry words entered her brain.
Misty lowered her fist, and stopped wriggling, she stood limp, barely holding in the fresh batch of tears which threatened to fall.
"Ginger bitch." Iris growled, walking away from Misty, who was still being held by Ash tightly, Iris walked away, clutching her cheek as she stroked her worried Axew.
"What's gotten into you!" Ash asked, releasing Misty eventually, and watching her sad expression.
Misty felt ashamed, she could feel Ash's eyes grazing over her, they were burning a hole in her.
Misty could not meet his gaze, instead, she did the next best thing, she shrank to the floor, covering her face in misery.
"Bitch fight! Figh..."James continued jeering, but Cilan just stuck his finger up at the lavender haired rocket.
"Hey twerps! I think you're all forgetting something! we have your POKe'MON you redheaded twerp!" Meowth laughed, before his eyes opened wide and Jesse and James shouted for his to shut up.
Misty lifted her head in worry, "wh-what! How did you...? My bag! My poke'balls!" Misty bawled, holding her scarlet bag in panic, psyduck hugging her leg.
"ha! We're not so much of losers now are we?" Jesse yelled triumphant, holding up a single scarlet POKe'BALL in the air.
James then looked through the seven balls, there was one, different from the rest, intead of being red, this poke'ball was a light blue, mixed in with red.
"What's in this one?" James asked curious, showing Misty the poke'ball.
"Corsola! Give her back right now!" Misty yelled, the tears begininng to drip down her cheeks slowly, their saltiness mixing with her bleeding lip.
Misty's jaw killed like crazy, she felt as if she had been iron tailed by a steelix round her mouth, and her lip protruded slightly, blood oozing from the wound slowly.
Team Rocket simply just stuck thier tongues out at Misty, and thier balloon took off, heading up through the trees.
However, Misty got to her aching feet, and latched herself onto James' arm, the hand which had Corsola's POKe'BALL was just out of her reach.
"Hey! No tresspassers!" Jesse yelled, ordering Meowth to scratch the valliant and stubborn girl.
As the balloon rose higher and higher into the cloudy sky, Ash began to panic, if Misty were to fall, it would be over.
Iris, Cilan, Brock and Ash chased after the balloon, shouting to Misty to hold on.
Suddenly, Meowth scratched Misty across her face, narrowly missing her eye.
Misty cried out in pain, before one hand began to slip.
"MISTY!" Ash screamed, his eyes couldn't believe what was happening.
Everyone had forgottern about the young Oschawott, he had cause all the trouble, so the otter thought he would show Pikachu he was best.
Grabbing the scalchop from his chest, Oschawott flung it high into the air, and it began spiralling towards the Meowth-shaped hot air balloon.
"Give 'em back!" Misty bawled, focusing on reaching her Politoed and Azurill's balls.
Suddenly, There was a loud pop.
Misty looked up in time to see Oschawott's scalchop smash into the balloon, and bust straight through the Meowth head, sending the balloon tumbling out of the sky.
Misty clung to the side, her eyes shut, something hit her square in the face, she opened her eyes to see a bag of seven POKe'BALLs in her arms.
"Pidove can't catch her!" Ash panicked, watching as Misty freefalled through the clouds.
Suddenly, an idea snapped in Ash's brain.
"Ash! Where are you going?" Iris yelled, watching Ash and Snivy and Pikachu sprint off towards a high tree.
"To save my best friend." He hollered, speeding up as he heard Misty's wails as she grew closer to the ground.
Ash climbed the tallest tree he could find, crawling past Cottonee POKe'MON, they looked on, slightly like Jumpluff/Christmas trees.
Misty clutched her POKe'BALLs to her chest, as she lost altitude.
"Roar!" Misty's eyes shot open to see her Gyrados, flying!
The gigantic dragon slid over to it's mistress, securing Misty on his back, before decending towards the ground.
Ash watched dumbstruck as Misty floated past him on her Gyrados.
Ash attempted to clib down, but he slipped, and slid straight down the tree, probably stopping him ever being able to father any children later in life.
Ash hobbled strangely over to the redhead and her Gyrados, and watched as Brock helped her down.
Team Rocket were nowhere to be seen, but cries were heard in the distance, never mind...
"Hey! That detour means we're almost at the next town, Castelia City, here we come!" Cilan exclaimed, smiling as he tended to Iris's wounds.
"Say, are the Nurse Joys and officer Jennys cute in Unova ?" Brock asked, directing his question at Ash.
Ash shook his head amused, "The Nurse Joys are all different, and they don't have Officer Jennys in Unova Brocko."
Misty giggled, but continued to stroke Oschawott and Azurill as Ash held an ice pack up to Misty's jaw.
later that evening, the sun began to set, leaving the region of Unova in a shower of stars.
Ash sat watching the stars as Iris snored in the tree above, Axew snuffling in it's sleep in her caring grip.
Brock was leant against a tree, his happiny and chansey sleeping soundly.
Cilan slept in his warm sleeping bag, his Green Pansage snoozing by his side.
Ash thought about the days dramatic events as he stared at her.
She was sleeping soundly, her orange bangs curling around her lily-white face.
Her skin seemed lit by the star filled light, she looked like an angel, she was bathed in the glow of the starry night, her eyelashes were soft against her face, and Misty was definately no longer a scrawny runt.
Ash being a boy, obviously noticed her, lets say, 'phsysical form' had changed drastically, I think we'll leave THAT to your imaginations. (perverts...)
Ash looked up at the lighted sky, it was like an ocean of pure light, the North star twinkled the brightest, and Ash flet in his pocket.
ah, there it was.
Grabbing the two joined items, Ash stared adoringly at the Mini version of himself and Misty.
Ash began to remember the good, old times, when it had been him and Misty having the fights, not Misty and Ash's travelling partner of the moment.
Ash snapped from his daydream by a rustling, by Ash's side, sat Oschawott, yawning slightly, but still, staring loyally up at his trainer as always.
"Oschawott, thank you, if it weren't for you, we may never have met up with Misty again..." Ash thanked Oschawott, who chirped a reply, and leapt into his trainer's lap for a hug.
Another noise caught Ash's attention, a slightly sleepy redhead crept out of her sleeping bag and sat beside him, looking up at in stars in pure bliss.
"Can't sleep?" Misty asked, stroking Oschawott's head comfortingly.
Ash shook his head, and turned to face her, he was beaming.
"I was looking at the milky way, I always do, you can always see it so clearly every night out here, reminds me of home back in Pallet." Ash explained, glancing up at the indigo skies, blinking as a shooting star crossed over them.
"It must be amazing," Misty began, watching as Ash turned to face her confused, "in Cerulean, the only place you can ever see the stars is Route 25 by the Nugget bridge, there's too much light pollution to see the stars properly at night, but, this place," Misty looked around, before sighing, taking in the fresh air and sounds of creatures and the trickled of peaceful water. "It's beautiful here, untouched, kinda reminds me of the old days when it was just the three of us, and the only things we thought about was whether you were going to get your next badge before I caught a new water type and before Brock got a date with Nurse Joy."
Misty gazed at the sky, she missed nights like these, ever since she had left to tend to the gym, she had missed those starry nights, when she would sit in solitary, gazing at the boy she loved who slept peacefully, that was when, she wrote the song...
"We haven't really had a chance to chat since you arrived," Ash explained, smiling warmly at her, "So tell me, how is life at the gym?"
Misty groaned, she loved the gym, and her sisters, well, she HAD to love her sisters, she didn't really have much of a choice when it came to siblings...
"Hectic, but hardly any badges trainers battle for get given to them, Gyrados always beats thier rookie POKe'MON to a pulp. how about you? Missed me?" Misty asked, waiting for his reply.
Ash smiled at Oschawott, who slept in his lap, his breathing rhymical and constant.
"Training and travelling for badges is ok, I've met loads of friends along the way, and destroyed a total of THREE bikes..." Misty raised her eyebrows knowingly at him, making Ash blush red and gulp slightly.
"But I always missed you, your personality, psyduck, your awful wake up calls, even your mallet!" Ash laughed, Misty punched his shoulder playfully, giggling along with him.
Misty's eyes wandered over to the lure in his palm, " how come you have one of me?" Ash asked.
Misty was relieved that it was dark, Ash couldn't see her turn as pink as a jigglypuff in the starlight.
"Well,"'She stammered, "You had one of me, so I thought I'd have one of you, Mr Poke'mon Master." Misty smirked, winking playfull at the raven haired boy by her side.
Ashs' heart thumped in his stomach, he could practically feel the sacred muscle rattling his ribcage in nervousness.
"Uh, Mist, I think I wanna tell you something..." Ash bit his lip as Misty faced him, curious.
"Misty, I... i've wanted to tell you this for ages, but... i think I, I think I.. lov..." Ash was interrupted by Iris's snoring.
Ash shhok his head, and turned to complete his sentence, but Misty was fast asleep, her head leant against his shoulder, her arms draped around him.
Ash sighed, WHY! For Mew's sake! Someone or soemthing up there REALLy had it in for him... He hoped it wasn't Harley... Harley was cweepy...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Hope you enjoyed!
a bit more Aamley that chapter!
Here's the poem!
Chasing my tail,
From A to Z,
back and forth,
I have been lead,
To evolve I need a stone from the moon,
Using moves such as tail whip will get me nowhere,
I need to be strong,
Fearless,
My hyperness is shining through,
Meowth eat your heart out,
You too Glameow,
Purrloin you are based on me,
I am pink and cheer and mew happily,
A brunette, come what may owns one of our kind,
Look in Petalburg forest hard,
and surely you shall find me,
But the question still remains,
What POKe'MON am I?
review answers!
AAML:)
