Chapter 4
Ash, Misty, Jimmy, and Marina stood on opposite ends of the watery battlefield. All four of their Pokemon were ready as well. Jimmy was the first to make a move. " All right Surskit, attack Starmie with Water Pulse!" Ash was ready. "Corphish, use Harden and get in front of Starmie!" Ash called. Corphish immediately hardened its body and defense and jumped in front of Starmie. Corphish took the hit with little damage. Ash knew that he had to protect Starmie. It had used too much energy in the battle while he did almost nothing. Misty stood there, amazed. She had seen Ash battle with partners before but never like this. 'He's never been so determined to protect his partners in battle.' She stared at him. Then she just saw a blur. She heard " Wani Wani, Hydro Pump!" and then "MISTY! WATCH OUT!" The last thing she saw before she passed out was Ash's worried face hovering over her.
Misty awoke in a bed in a white room. The first thought that crossed Misty's mind was 'Oh my God! I'm dead! I don't wanna die! There are so many things I haven't done… haven't said.' The thought was interrupted when she heard "Misty?" She turned to see a very worried Ash walking through the door. "Hey, Ash." she said. Ash wasn't alone. Misty looked over his shoulder to see May, Drew, Brock, Jimmy, and Marina standing behind him. "Hey guys." Misty said excitedly. "Hey Misty!" Brock and May said in unison. "How are you feeling?" asked Drew "Fine but what are all of you doing here?" Ash walked up to her and stared at her curiously. "Are you sure you're ok, Mist?" he asked. 'Mist? Where did that come from?' "Yeah I'm fine but what happened and why am I in a hospital bed?" she asked as she looked around. A small voice answered her question. "Your not in a hospital, your just in the Pokemon Center recovery room." It was Nurse Joy. Naturally the next sound that entered the room was Brock. "AAH NURSE JOY! My friend will be fine. Lets leave them to their own devices and go grab a soft drink or two." Brock said as he got up in the nurse's face and gleamed his teeth with his "Seductive grin." Misty rubbed her head in frustration. "BROCK!!" she yelled as she grabbed him by the ear and threw him out the door. Ash looked at her shocked. "Woah, I always knew Misty knew how to deal with Brock but she's gotten better!' he thought. Both Nurse Joy and Misty regained themselves and the explanation continued. "You were knocked out by that Croconaw's Hydro Pump and suffered a concussion as a result." Nurse Joy explained as Jimmy and Marina walked up to Misty. "We are so sorry! That wasn't supposed to happen." Marina apologized quickly. "Yeah, we didn't want it to go that far. Anyway, we just wanted to let you know that. We gotta go now. See ya!" Jimmy said as they walked out the door. Ash finished the story. After you were knocked out, the judge declared our team unfit to continue. I'm sorry Misty, If I could have helped you in the match you wouldn't be here right now. Misty saw the worry and blame in his face and smiled at him. "Ash don't worry about it, It was an accident." She could tell that it wasn't getting to him. "Wait here Ash." Misty said as she walked out of the doors of the center.
(20 minutes later.)
Ash was sitting in the lobby of the Pokemon Center. 'I cant believe I couldn't be there for her.' Ash thought sadly. "A..h…hs…As…Ash…ASH!!" he heard a voice rip him from his thoughts. "Huh? Oh hey May." He said. "Follow me." She said with a slight smile on her face. Ash reluctantly followed her out to the field in front of the center. There he saw a very happy Pikachu and Misty. A little farther away he saw Drew with a small smirk on his face. "Whats up guys?" Ash said, still feeling a little down. Misty giggled a little and pointed down. "Pika!" Pikachu yelled happily as he pointed down too. Ash looked at the ground and saw white spray paint across it that made out the shape of a Pokefield. "Get up here Ketchum!" Misty shouted to him. "Ash, You ready? Were gonna battle those two" She said while pointing to Drew and May. Drew closed his eyes, trying to act cool. "Whats the matter Ketchum? You afraid to take on a real couple?" he taunted while he turned a little red. Ash turned beet red. Hey I'm not afraid of anything and Misty and I are not a couple!" he yelled as he pulled out a Pokeball. Jimmy walked out to the field. "Hey guys it looks like you don't have a judge, let me do it." May looked at him "Sure go ahead." "Ok guys lets make this interesting. It's an anything goes double battle. Lets not stay anchored to the water theme ok? BEGIN" he yelled. "Alright lets go Charizard!!" he yelled as he threw the ball. The red dragon burst from it and fire exploded from its mouth. "Go Politoed!!" Misty shouted as Politoed appeared in front of him and started his usual clapping routine. "Get out there Flygon!" Drew yelled as he tossed out Flygon's ball. "Alright Squirtle, go!" May called her tiny turtle Pokemon. Jimmy was pumped "All right…START!! He yelled.
