I don't own Pokemon.

Chapter 4: The Right Guy!

Even though she was back home in Cerulean, Misty couldn't stop thinking about what happened the past few months.

Every night, she would cry herself to sleep as she laid there and thought about the raven-haired boy and how much she missed him.

She had returned as the Cerulean Gym leader, but she wasn't as strong as she once was.

She would barely command her pokemon to dodge or even attack and there were times that tears would stream down her face as she battled.

She decided to go to her room to be alone as she thought about some things before doing anything else that day.

As she sat there, she remembered her talk with Brock before any of this happened.

(Flashback)

Misty and Brock were watching Ash train for his next gym battle while they were making dinner when Brock decided to ask kind of a personal question.

"So Misty, do you have a crush on anyone special?" asked Brock, chopping a few carrots on a board.

"Wh-what? Well…" said Misty with a big blush on her face.

"Come on. You can tell me. I'll tell you my crush if you tell me yours." said Brock, reassuring her and blushing slightly.

"Alright. Who is your crush?" asked Misty curiously.

"My crush is Suzy, who gave me Vulpix to look after. So who's your crush?" asked Brock, blushing a little.

"I actually have two crushes. The first being Ash and the second one being Tracey." replied Misty with her blush deepening.

"I see. Either one would be a great fit for you." said Brock, smiling at her as he finished chopping everything up for dinner.

"Thanks." said Misty, going back to watching Ash train his pokemon.

(End Flashback)

Misty sighed heavily before looking at a picture of her and Ash.

"Oh, Ash. Why can't you be with me now?" asked Misty before lying on her bed.

(With Ash)

He had found someone and jumped into their body and hurried them somewhere before going to get someone else.

"This is going to be genius!" exclaimed Ash, racing back toward the other person.

(Back With Misty)

She was woken up from a dream about Ash when she felt a presence around her and she was scared by it.

She started to run away from it and the presence was steering her in a specific path and she noticed that it was in the middle of the forest.

She stopped and looked around before noticing someone walking out from behind a couple of trees and she gasped as she instantly recognized him.

It was Tracey, Professor Oak's assistant, and she quickly ran over to him and hugged him.

"Tracey!" said Misty as she hugged him and he returned the hug.

"Misty, it's good to see you again. How are you doing?" asked Tracey, holding her close to him to comfort her.

"I could be better." replied Misty with her head still against Tracey's chest.

"I'm guessing you're still thinking about Ash?" asked Tracey and he felt her nod 'Yes' against him.

"Tracey, can you come down here?" asked Misty, looking up at him.

"Sure. What is it?" asked Tracey, as he lowered to Misty's level before being kissed on the lips by her.

The kiss lasted for about a minute with each of them enjoying the taste of each other's lips before they parted to catch their breaths.

"Misty, are you saying that you love me?" asked Tracey as he panted.

"I am. Are you?" asked Misty as well and he nodded his head 'Yes'.

They smiled with tears in their eyes before they kissed again, resulting in Ash cheering for them before going to plan out the next part of his plan.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 4! I was hoping to finish this fic and start a new one, but I had to finish writing a paper that's due tomorrow. I'm sorry these chapters aren't as long as you all were hoping they were, but college as been keeping me from digging deep into them, but I promise that around Thanksgiving and Christmas that they will be longer and not this kinda short-kinda long chapter. I am planning on finishing this fic and starting the next one tomorrow, but I just wanted to post and say Happy Veteran's Day to everyone. See ya later!
