"What?!" screamed Misty. "We're lost already!?! Ash, we just left Barty's! This is your entire fault. I knew that we should have gone right."
"But Misty, it was you who insisted that we go left when I said to go right. So really the fault is not mine, this time." Ash pointed out.
"No, I clearly remember telling you guys to go right but you insisted that we go left."
"No, you said left." Ash said starting to get mad.
"No, I said right." Misty retorted.
"Left."
"Right."
"Left!"
"Right!"
"Cut it out you two. Our situation's not going to get any better with you two arguing like that." said Brock trying to be the peacemaker once again.
"Humph. Like our situation's going to get better even if we do stop arguing about who got us lost." Misty said.
"Pikachu," Ash asked the yellow electric mouse sitting on his shoulder, "who do you think is right?"
"P-pika?" pikachu replied uncertainly then promptly jumped off of Ash's shoulder and ran over to Misty.
"Thanks." Ash said with a snort. "Well I'm going for a walk, alone this time, sorry pikachu. I'll be back in time for dinner Brock."
"Brock, are you sure that this is such a good idea, just letting Ash walk off like that without even taking pikachu after what Barty told us?" Misty asked as Ash disappeared from sight into the forest.
"Ash'll be fine, Misty." Brock replied, "He's got his other pokemon and you know that he can't resist my cooking."
"You're right, of course." Misty said and even though she was unable to dispel all of her worries, she felt a lot better.
