They were both born and raised in Cerulean City. They were neighbors and practically grew up together. He had a crush on her, she didn't return his feelings. She loved pokémon, he didn't. She was mocked by her three big sisters, so she set out to become the greatest water-type pokémon trainer in the world… He couldn't stop her, and his heart was broken…
Not long after, he had met his pokémon. Together they set out to search for her, but she had already found somebody else, somebody who loved pokémon like her. That boy with a cap was an asshole to her, she wasn't very nice to that boy either, but her apparent hate was just a facade to hide the fact she loved the boy with the cap…
He tried to catch up to her, and reclaim her from the boy with a cap who had stolen her from him. He never saw her again. His heart grew cold and bitter, and the constant threats of wild pokémon and trainers alike, plus Team Rocket thugs every now and then, made his heart darker. Eventually, he started using his pokémon for murder. His merciless tendencies in battle, as well as his use of mainly ice-types (or water-types with ice-type moves sometimes) earned him the nickname of "Heart of Ice" Leonard…
"How many years has it been?" he asked himself, his faithful Poliwrath by his side, as both watched the city of Cerulean from a nearby hill. After a whole decade, the now 23 years old "Heart of Ice" Leonard had finally come back to where it all started. Her target: the current gym leader of Cerulean city, Misty. All of his former love for her turned into hate with the years. "We are not weak anymore… Let's put an end to our pain once and for all" he said to his pokémon, and with determined eyes he relentlessly advanced towards the pokémon gym…
"Who's a cute Dewgong?" a 23-year-old Misty said playfully while petting her pokémon. Though she had always been a rough tomboyish bitch to most people, she also had always been a total sweetie towards most water-type pokémon. Also, most of the time she had always been scantily clad and wearing her shoes without any socks…
That night, a presence appeared at her door…
"Sorry, we're about to close for today, so no more challengers" Misty said…
Leonard walked in nevertheless. All of the pokémon in the gym felt tense in his presence…
"Hi, Misty… Remember me?" he said, his eyes full of hatred for her, yet he was unable to ignore all of her exposed skin…
Misty felt a brief chill. "No… I don't remember you" she replied seriously…
"Of course you don't… I've never meant that much to you to begin with…" Leonard said…
"Who are you? If you don't have anything important to say, then get out immediately!" Misty said…
"It's me… Leonard…" he said…
"…Nope! It doesn't ring any bells" Misty replied…
"I'm not surprised… You probably wanted to forget me… Do you at least remember your next-door neighbors when you were a kid? …Remember they had two sons? …Remember the younger one who used to play with you?" Leonard said…
Misty then widened her eyes as she suddenly remembered everything. "Of course! Leo! It's been more than 10 years! How have you been?" Misty said happily…
"Meh… Killing bastards by frostbite, cursing the day I met you, planning how I would kill your boyfriend… you know… the usual" Leonard said, shrugging with irony…
"I heard…" a rather unimpressed Misty said. "So it was true… you are Heart of Ice" she added…
"I have changed… I have trained and hardened myself and my pokémon for the day when I would finally crush you and your stupid boyfriend!" Leonard growled…
"My… boyfriend? …I have no boyfriend, dumb-ass" Misty replied, still unimpressed…
"Of course you do!" Leonard roared. "That bastard named Ash Ketchum! You pretended to hate him when you in fact loved him madly!"
"Aww… Poor thing! You're so jealous!" Misty mocked Leonard. "You still want me, don't you? It's been ten whole years and you still want me!"
"Enough! This is the last time you mock me!" Leonard shouted furiously…
"Don't cry, sweetie" Misty said still in the same mocking tone, and then she made an unexpected move: She took her right shoe off…
Without any sock in-between, Misty's right foot came out of the shoe directly bare. Leonard was not prepared, he never expected Misty to do that in a situation where he was threatening her life. The charm of Misty's sexy bare foot immediately got Leonard's full attention…
"I remember how you seemed to have an obsession with my feet… I never quite understood why you liked them so much, but I will let you touch my foot" Misty said. She was not scared at all. In fact, she seemed to be in total control of the situation…
"You… Trying to seduce me is not going to work! I no longer love you!" Leonard yelled, though he couldn't take his eyes off Misty's bare right foot…
Misty smirked, and then she threw her shoe away as if she didn't need it, which only made Leonard hornier. "Want to come with me to my room?" Misty asked, and then she started walking around the pokémon gym in only one shoe, followed by an almost hypnotized Leonard. Each step that Misty walked with her one bare foot, each time that bare feminine sole touched down and felt the cold floor, Leonard would feel his sexual hormones agitating. They finally stopped when they reached the door to Misty's bedroom…
"You think this is a fucking game? I came here to kill you! You rejected me in favor of that asshole and his stupid Pikachu!" Leonard ranted…
"Hey! Don't call poor Pikachu stupid! He's got nothing to do with this!" Misty replied…
"But why Ketchum and not me?" Leonard asked angrily…
"I don't know… I guess I was just a little girl" Misty said without even bothering to look at Leonard's eyes, like she didn't care. She took out her cell phone and started pressing keys…
"By the time the police comes, you'll already be dead…" Leonard warned Misty…
"Oh, here it is!" Misty said without paying any attention to Leonard's threat. "Look at this picture, Leo" Misty said, handing her cell phone to Leonard…
Leonard took the cell phone to look at a picture of a 10-year-old Ash, his Pikachu and a girl and boy he had never seen in his life. "I don't get it…" Leonard said…
"Ash's mom e-mailed me that picture just a month ago" Misty said…
"Is it from her archive of old pictures?" Leonard asked…
"Look at the date" Misty hinted…
Leonard did as Misty said. The picture's year was the current year. "…It can't be that… It may be a copy of the file" Leonard said…
"You don't believe me, Leo?" Misty asked…
"No, I don't believe you! Why would I trust you?" Leonard replied…
Misty opened the door to her own bedroom. "Wanna watch TV with me?" Misty invited…
"No. I wanna kill you and your stupid boyfriend Ash" an annoyed Leonard replied…
Misty did not pay any attention and entered, walking on one shoe and one bare foot like she didn't care, knowing Leonard loved that. Misty sat on the couch and crossed her sexy legs, her bare foot being the one hanging in the air as if waiting to be kissed. It didn't help matters that Misty knew how to wiggle her toes in such a sexy manner…
"By the way, they're broadcasting the Pokémon League live today!" Misty said as she picked up the remote control and turned on the TV…
Indeed, it was the Pokémon League. The current year was being displayed at the stadium itself in huge numbers, and the date was today, confirming the broadcasting was live…
"We're broadcasting live straight from the Pokémon League stadium where a fierce battle is about to begin" the sexy female reporter said. "Let's see if we can get a close-up of the participants" she added…
When the cameraman tried to zoom in on one of the competitors, Leonard was horrified…
"Here we see Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" the reporter announced as the TV screen clearly showed a 10-year-old kid with a cap in his head and a Pikachu in his shoulder…
"I'm gonna win!" the still 10-year-old Ash exclaimed with the expected voice for a 10-year-old boy, and the usual mannerisms…
"…What madness is this?" a horrified Leonard said, his eyes wide open in shock…
"I have no idea… But apparently, Ash can't seem to… age…" Misty said with a disappointed look while staring at Ash on the TV…
"That's ridiculous!" Leonard exclaimed while looking at Misty incredulously…
"Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself for a while…But it's true. And, as you can imagine, I can't have sex with a little 10-year-old kid" Misty said, and then she sighed. "I did grow to like him at some point… But he just plain didn't grow" she added…
"Aw, come on! With that sexy body and that cute face you could get as many boys as you want!" Leonard exclaimed…
"Really? You think I'm sexy and cute?" Misty asked…
"Don't pretend you don't know!" Leonard yelled…
"I'm not as beautiful as my sisters, Leo… I had to live with that fact my whole childhood and adolescence… It's not everyday that a man comes into my house and boldly tells me in a sincere voice that I'm beautiful" Misty replied…
Leonard tried to resist. He tried to remind himself that he did not love Misty anymore. Actually, he had never loved her: He was just horny for her. Misty's slow and sexy movements with her toes and ankle were making matters more difficult for him…
"Hey, Leo… How about I let you do whatever you want to my foot? …Just for this night" Misty offered, winking an eye towards Leonard…
The thing that had been denied to him ever since he can remember was now at his reach. The thing "Heart of Ice" Leonard had desired his whole life was finally being offered to him. Leonard could not resist any longer. The heat of his arousal melted his heart of ice. "…Yes" he finally whispered as he gave in to the temptation, his cheeks bright red and almost out of breath, and even having a slight nosebleed…
"As you wish" Misty said with a cute smile before walking to her bed and comfortably laying herself down on it. This was it. Misty's bare foot was exposed and defenseless right in front of Leonard…
Leonard neared his hands slowly and cautiously, still not fully trusting the girl he really never stopped desiring. He gently grabbed Misty's bare right foot with his left hand to make sure she didn't pull it away, and then he slowly neared his right hand's index finger until his fingertip made contact with the middle of Misty's bare sole…
Misty giggled. "I'm very ticklish, Leo" she said playfully…
Leonard no longer had control of himself. He snapped and started tickling Misty's foot uncontrollably with all fingers of his hand…
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Leo, that tickles! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Misty said in-between her unstoppable laughter, her cheeks already turning red…
Leonard stopped tickling with his fingers, only to start kissing Misty's foot passionately…
"Tee-hee-hee-ha-ha-ha-ha! You're so sweet, Leo!" Misty said, her foot tickled by Leonard's kisses…
But Leonard was just warming up. The next thing he did was lick Misty's soft bare sole with his tongue. Misty started laughing harder, and this time Leonard could hear Misty moaning in pleasure while laughing. After that, Leonard opened his mouth big and started sucking Misty's foot all over…
"Oh, Leo… Oh, Leo… Yes… Yes! More!" Misty moaned happily, enjoying the tickling feel of Leonard's lips and tongue all over her foot, feeling Leonard's tongue between her toes, and Leonard's hands rubbing the parts of her foot that were not being licked…
That's the last thing Leonard could remember about that night. The next morning, he woke up naked in Misty's bed, feeling a wet sensation in a certain part of his body. Misty was in the bed with him, also naked, and Leonard realized they were cuddling. It didn't take much longer for Leonard to add 2 + 2…
"Yesternight was the best!" Misty said happily, and then she giggled. "Revenge sex feels so good! Take that, dumb-Ash!" she added…
Only then Leonard had realized it: He had wasted ten years of his life bent on pointless revenge against a kid who wasn't even worth it, and he felt deeply ashamed of all of the horrible things he had done in that period. Fate can be very ironic sometimes, and Leonard learned that people change and mature over the years (except for Ash). On that day, "Heart of Ice" ceased to exist. From that day forward, Leonard never committed any crimes ever again, and he spent the rest of his life peacefully with Misty, letting the gym leader do the battling while he himself officially retired forever from the sport known as Pokémon Battling… Oh! And also both he and Misty got their sweet revenge on Ash…
…The end.
And with that, I finally put this old trauma of my adolescence to rest. When Misty left the main cast I stopped watching Pokémon, since the scantily-clad Misty and the promise of someday seeing her bare foot tickled was the only thing that had kept me watching the show for so many years.
It was a fanfic I read in November 2002 titled "A dangerous love trial" that opened my mind to the possibility that Misty may actually be in love with Ash (it was not obvious from just watching the anime. Not to me at least, because I'm not a girl) and that same fanfic made me want to start trying to write my own fanfics the following year. All of my fanfics prior to 2011 are deleted now as they were horrendous (and thankfully I didn't know how to publish them anyway), but to think I came this far just because of one Pokémon fanfic that completely shattered my dream of a love story with a girl I don't even like today… And what's worse, in the end Ash x Misty never happened… Fate is truly ironic…
