Back at Cerulean
Misty walked across the path from the gym. The buildings were torn down. It looked like a ghost town... "You sure you know what your doin' Mist?" Misty looked back at Ash from across the path. "Of course I'm sure Ash! What better way to solve this then by getting May and Max? And who knows, maybe we'll find Brock!" She told him. "I dunno.. Whoever did this must be really powerful n' all, and we might not be ready," Ash implied. Misty gaped at him. He, the great Ash Ketchum, was afraid? "What do you mean? You have never been afraid of anything Ash.." Ash looked down. "That was before... this is now." Ash looked straight at her. "I suppose so.. but we need to find a ship-" Ash cut her off. "There are no ships. The whole of Kanto has been destroyed." Ash looked down. "Oh... well we can always fly to Johto and then Hoenn! Or maybe just fly straight to Hoenn!" Misty told him. "Maybe we should just stay here..." Misty looked at him confusedly. "But there is no civilization, no life here anymore. Kanto is ruined Ash, can't you see? You yourself just told me that!" Ash let out a long and heavy sigh. "I know Misty..." "Come on, let's go!" "Alright then... GO! SWELLOW!" Swellow popped out of its red and white pokeball. "SWELLOOWW!" "Okay Swellow, think you can make it to Hoenn?" Swellow yelled its name again, agreeing. "Okay buddy, lets do it!" Ash and Misty, with Pikachu on Ash's shoulder, rode into the distance... Ash and Misty flew by clouds. Suddenly, they saw a ship. Ash looked down and grinned. "Okay Swellow, land on that ship!" Misty looked stunned for a second, then yelled at him. "ASH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING! WE DON'T HAVE ANY TICKETS!" Ash looked back at her, then grinned again, as Misty's fiery red hair blew into her face. "Hey, it's goin' to Hoenn isn't it?" Misty yelped,"ASH!" "Fine..." They flew by. Little did they know that this ship was the S.S Senorita, the ship May and Max had boarded.
