WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! LAST CHAPTER!!!!!!!! WAHHHHH!!!! T.T I'M SO SAD!!!! Time to answer my last reviews!! Don't forget though, I will still reply to any reviews I get after this. As long as I see that I have a review I'll reply!

So *sniff sniff* I'd just like to thank everyone who reviewed so far!! And even any readers who didn't review! I'd just like to thank anyone who really liked this story.

And I know a few of you have asked that I do a sequel and I'm just not sure if that's possible. I don't really see how far another story could go. I'd have to think of a really good idea and if I can do that, then I will. We'll see though.

I'd also kinda like to try that alphabet one-shot challenge. You know, you write a one-shot for a shipping that begins with each letter in the alphabet. That sounds like it'd be fun to do. So if I did that, then I'd have that project and plus I still have my other story, Black Roses, that I'm still working on. But we'll see about the sequel. There is a chance I'll do it, if, like I said, I can think of a really good idea.

Now on to the last of my reviews!

NCISSpecialAgentAbbey – That would be a very Ash and Misty moment if he got lost. She'd be pissed. Haha. And I'm glad I'm not a wimp. I'll take your word for it. XD And like I said above, we'll see about the sequel.

StrawberryStoleYourCookie – That's how I feel about it being the end! I'm so sad! Here's the epilogue at least! And then that's it! T___T Oh and I thought I'd let you know that I can't reply to your reviews since you're not a member on . Just telling you so you don't think I forgot about you or something. Just thought I'd say that. XD

aquaflares21- Everyone being so sad is making me sadder! Oh no's! You won't be the 30th reviewer! Unless you wait for two more people to review. Then you'd be the 30th person! But sadly you won't be the 40th. Or the 50th. I don't even think I'll get that many reviews. But I'm glad for what I got so far at least! And once again, like I said above about the sequel, we'll see.

(Clistare) – That was an awesome review! I loved it! Thanks a lot! It means a lot to hear that kind of stuff. And don't worry about being impatient or anything because I'm the same way! Here's the epilogue like you wanted. =D

Disclaimer: Last time saying this. I don't own pokemon. Sorry. Wish I did.

Misunderstanding

Epilogue

Misty got dressed as fast as she could that morning. It was kinda hard to do anything fast but she was getting better. She had been out of the hospital for a week now but they had told her to be really careful. (A/N: Sorry if that isn't accurate or anything considering her injuries but I'm not exactly a doctor so it's just gonna stay like that.) She had been staying at Ash's house while she was recovering. Her sisters had agreed to take over the gym, which scared Misty quite a bit. But they had assured her that all the training they had did with her had paid off. They didn't just give badges away to anyone any more.

Misty was finally ready and pulled her hair into it's usually side ponytail. She opened the door and walked down stairs into the kitchen. Ash's mom was cooking something and Ash was sitting at the table swallowing it whole. While Pikachu sat at the table eating his Pokemon food more civilized then Ash ate.

It was a normal morning here.

She realized from the smell that it was pancakes she was cooking. She sat down and Ash looked up at her.

He swallowed his latest shovelful of food and smiled at her. "Good morning."

She laughed at what a slob he could be and shook her head. "Good morning. You better be careful, you don't want to swallow the plate."

He waved a hand at her.

His mom turned around and handed Misty a plate. "Here you go. So what are you two going to do today?" She asked.

Misty thought about it. "I'm not sure. What are the others doing?" She asked Ash.

"I think Brock said something about letting the Pokemon out and having a picnic lunch by the river. He said he was going to head home pretty soon so he wanted to cook for everyone one more time before he leaves." He told her.

"That sounds great. But I didn't know Brock was leaving."

"They all are. May and Drew are heading to the Sinnoh Region to compete in the Grand Festival there. That is, after they get their five ribbons. And Max was heading home because his tenth birthday's coming up. He wanted to be ready to get his first Pokemon. You know how excited he is. And Dawn wanted to stay here in Kanto to compete in the Grand Festival here." He explained.

"Wow. I can't believe they're all leaving." She said with a sigh. She had been having so much fun hanging out with them all this past week. Even when they came to the hospital they always made her smile. Even Dawn, who she had been so jealous of, now that she knew there was no reason to envy her, she had grown to like her. She was too cheerful and caring to not like her.

"I'm sure Brock will be back soon though." He told her.

"Yeah. He always does come back." She said with a fond smile. Then she looked at Ash. "So, what about you?" She asked.

"Well, I'll be staying here for now." He laughed. "I wouldn't leave you here." He told her.

Misty laughed and shook her head. "I mean, after I'm all better. I know there has to be someplace you want to go. Some League you need to compete in." She told him with a chuckle.

"Well, there is, but it can wait." He said.

"So what's this new region called?" She asked.

"Dagro." He told her. (A/N: Ok, totally made up, in case you couldn't tell, and it probably sounds stupid but I don't care! I don't know what the next region is going to be called. No one does! So therefore, it is going to be Dagro. Just, don't comment! XD)

Misty tried to think if she had heard of that region before. Then she remembered a challenger she once had from there. "I've heard of it. It's a large island down to the south." She remembered.

"Yeah. I want to enter the Dagro Pokemon League. And this time, I'm going to win!" He said determined. Misty laughed.

"Sure you will. If your ego doesn't get to you like it used to." She said with a shrug.

"It's not an ego. I just know I'm the best." He said crossing his arms and turning his head.

"Oh yeah?" She asked.

"Yeah!" He argued back.

"I thought with you two together, this would've stopped." She said with another sigh.

"Pika." Pikachu agreed with a sigh.

They finished up their breakfast and walked to the river. When they got there, everyone was already there.

"Hi!" May called from near the river. She had her bathing suit on and her hair was wet. Misty saw Drew pull a screaming May into the water when she wasn't looking and Misty couldn't help but laugh. She also saw Max swimming in the river and Brock was cooking nearby. She saw Dawn helping Brock out but when she saw Misty and Ash she ran over to them.

"Hi Misty! Hi Ash! Glad you got here in time! Foods not nearly ready or anything, but everyone's swimming in the river." She said with a smile. Misty looked around and saw all their Pokemon out. Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder to meet with the rest of his friends. Misty took her pokeballs out and threw them into the river. Out came Gyarados, Goldeen, Staryu, Horsea, Luvdisc, and Psyduck, which Misty was sure to let out on land. He hadn't mastered swimming quite yet.

Drew and Dawn got a bit freaked out from Gyarados at first. They hadn't known Misty had one.

"It's ok guys! It's my Gyarados!" She yelled and Drew and Dawn calmed down. May, Max, Brock, and Ash had already seen it once before so they just laughed.

Ash threw out his Pokemon next. He only had his Bayleaf and of course his Pikachu with him.

"Ash, where are all your Pokemon?" She asked.

"At Professor Oak's." He told her. "When I was going to go to Dagro I was only going to bring Pikachu, like when I went to Hoenn and Sinnoh, but then, like Aipom, Bayleaf insisted on going. I'm pretty glad she did go. Otherwise, it would've been a lot harder getting you out of that hole." He told her.

Misty smiled. She'd have to thank Bayleaf again when she got the chance. They walked over to where Brock was cooking and sat down at the table.

"Hey guys. Why don't you two go swimming?" He suggested.

Misty lifted her shirt just enough to look at the bandages on her torso. They were really tight and they were suppose to help heal her ribs.

"Uh, I don't think I can." She told him and he looked over at her.

"Oh right. I guess I forgot." He said. She stood up.

"That's ok. I was actually planning on going fishing." She told him.

"That's a good idea." Ash told her. "I'll come too."

"You don't have to come. I know you'd probably rather swim then fish. You're not really the patient type."

"It's fine! I'm not going to make you go by yourself." He told her.

She smiled. "Ok. But we're going to need to go further downstream since everyone swimming here is chasing away all the fish." She told him. He nodded and they set off down the river. They found a good spot and sat down. Ash got out his fishing rod and put his lure on. When Misty saw it she started laughing.

"What?" He asked her.

She pointed to his Misty lure. "The lure. I can't believe you still have that." She commented. He laughed.

"I always use it. Since you gave it to me. I almost lost it once but I got it back and since then I've been pretty careful with it." He told her. She just kept laughing. She had never known it'd mean that much to him.

He frowned at her laughter. "I don't know why though. When it comes to fishing it just scares them all away anyway." He told her and she smiled at his defensivness.

"I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at myself." She told him.

He just laughed. "Ok, then it doesn't scare them away." He told her and she chucked.

Suddenly they heard something in the bushes. Misty turned around and saw Gary standing there. She knew Ash had never had a chance to talk to him about the letter he had taken so she knew Ash would want to confront him now. She sighed and looked over at Ash. He had just noticed her turn around so he looked behind him and then he frowned.

"Gary." He said and he stood up.

Gary sighed. "Hi Ash. Hi Misty. Look Ash, before you go all crazy I just want to say sorry. I really didn't know this was going to cause so much to happen. I really am sorry, but go ahead and yell at me." He told him.

Ash sighed. "There really isn't anything I can say that you don't already know." He told him. "And I guess I can't blame you." He said. He looked back at Misty who was a bit confused.

"I guess I would've done the same thing if I was in your position." He said with a frown.

Gary smiled. "I'm glad you don't hate me Ash. But I really do have to get going now. I'm heading for the Hoenn Region. I wanted to do some research there on some Pokemon Evolution. I'll see you later though." He turned around and went back through the trees where he had come out from, waving his hand back at them as he went.

Ash turned around and sat back down. "Wow Ash. That was pretty mature of you." She told him.

He looked at her and rolled his eyes. "I'm not ten anymore. I'm sixteen. You'd think I would've learned to be a little mature by now." He told her.

She smiled. "I guess." She said with a shrug.

. . .

It had been a few months now since Misty had gotten out of the hospital. Everyone had left by now for their newest regions. It was today though, that Misty and Ash were going to finally leave. They were leaving for Dagro now that Misty was finally healed. They were catching a boat there that afternoon. Misty and Ash had just finished packing and they were heading for the dock. Ash and Misty said their goodbyes to everyone before leaving.

They made it to the dock pretty quickly since it wasn't far from Pallet Town. They got on the line to buy their tickets and relaxed knowing they weren't going to miss the boat.

"Wow. It's so weird. Us going off to travel together again. It's been such a long time." She commented and he smiled.

"Yeah I know. It seems weird that it's just the two of us though." He commented.

As if on cue, Brock came running for the line. "Ash! Misty! Don't leave without me!" He yelled. Misty smiled when she saw him and looked back to Ash.

"Guess it's just like old times now." He smiled and Brock caught up with them.

"I thought I wasn't going to make it! I'm glad I did. What do you guys say about the three of us traveling together again?" He asked.

Ash and Misty looked at each other and smiled before looking back at Brock. "We were just saying how it wasn't right without you." Ash told him and he smiled.

They got on the boat and it took off for Dagro in a few minutes.

And then they were off. The three oldest of friends, off on another adventure.

It was just like old times and Misty couldn't help but smile at how perfect things were turning out.

She was right where she wanted to be. Right where she belonged. Pulling Brock away from girls, knocking Ash's head off at his dumb comments, putting Psyduck back in his pokeball when he released himself, eating Brock's cooking, watching Ash battle his way to the top, and most importantly relaxing in Ash's arms when no one else was around.

Things were going to be great.

OH NO!!! It's over!!! I can't believe it. I finished so quickly. I'm really sad. I'd once again like to thank all my readers and remind everyone that I will respond to all reviews I get, even after this. Unless of course you are not a member here because then I can't.

Also, now that this story is complete, I'd like to dedicate it to phantomwrita12. The reason I even got inspired and motivated to write this story was thanks to her amazing writing. If you thought this story was good, I highly suggest that you go read her stories. Her writing is ten times better than mine and her story, The Right to Write Me Off, is amazing! If it wasn't for that story, I probably wouldn't have wrote this. Her story inspired me to start this and it motivated me to start and finish it so quickly. So please check out her stuff. She's an awesome writer. That's why I have to dedicate this story to her. So thanks a lot! Your writing really meant a lot to me!
