Okay I know the last chapter makes you feel like Goten from the same moment as well, I'm sorry I got confused myself but I did warn you. This chapter will be just going with the plan from the last chapter, Trunks and Misty will just be talking. I want you guys to enjoy my story but at the same time, I want it to make sense along with it being a real story. It's all I really ask for at least I let you know on everything that's needed, not a lot of fanfic authors do that. I know I tend to repeat certain words but believe me that's how I usually talk, like in an actual conversation. I don't know big vocabulary that makes me sound smarter. If I do know any it doesn't seem to come to me when I need it to, I'm weird like that.
Dragon ball is owned by Akira Toriyama and Pokemon is owned by Satoshi Tajiri. As you may know, I'm neither one.
Here's to chapter 10!
Misty woke up, she looked around before deciding to jump to the conclusion that it was a dream. The room wasn't hers, it was much bigger than she used to, all the proof she really needed. She got up and wondered if she was at capsule corp or somewhere else. Misty went out the door having no clue where she'll go, or what she'll do if she ends up running into Trunks or Goten; if they weren't a dream too that is. All she wanted to do was get the heck out the place and go back home, but rather if the people she comes to know was tricking her or not for some odd reason and getting into her head doing who knows what to it, they were still her only way of getting back to her gym. At the same time, she was glad Goten and Trunks were real, she felt like she was with Ash and Brock again (more or less).
After getting somewhat lost throughout the halls, Misty bumped into someone; it wasn't Goten this time, it was Trunks. He smiled the best he can, trying too hard that his fake smile could say he's a bad mood, it was early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet, however, Trunks couldn't sleep and wanted to get everything he needed to. He needed to know more about her place, Trunks was aware she'll give him answers rather if she was too paranoid or too stubborn, if she wanted to get home she needed to tell him. The girl with the red hair and greenish-blue eyes that had the same attire as yesterday just looked at him. He was wearing the same thing too, a white shirt and blue pants, the only difference in the both of them that their hair was messy.
"Morning, are you looking for the bathroom?" Trunks asked politely with a smile on his face, he tried to mimic Goten. In a weird way he was doing a good job, except, unlike Goten the smile gave Misty the willies rather than making her feel safe or comfortable.
"Uh...no." She stuttered in confusion. At the moment Misty doesn't know what Trunks to like best, the kid with an attitude (the one she first met) but with a heart, or the Trunks who was obviously faking a good attitude because the cheerful act only seemed to belong to her friends Ash and Goten. She decided she liked the Trunks that she came to know the day before, at least she thinks it's all him. Her head was feeling dizzy.
"Look, it's obvious as my fake cheerfulness that you don't want to believe me about you being from a different dimension, and you think I'm trying to control you, but none of it is true." Trunks took a step towards her as she took a step back. She wanted to believe but how would she know to believe him? All she wanted to do was get out of the town of crazy.
"Which part, the part about you controlling me or the part I'm from a different dimension?" Misty snarled at him, Trunks ignored the snarling, it was plain as day it wasn't a meaningful question.
"All I want you to do is tell me more about where you come from like if you have a TV or something, I mean answering questions like that wouldn't make you think I'm trying to control you will it?" Trunks got down to business. Misty thought about it, she decided to answer any question he might have for her, there was no way of knowing for sure where he was getting at, but that was a chance she had to take.
"Where I come from we do have TV's, what else do you want to know?" Misty said wanting to clear the TV thing up she had no idea from where he got it from and because that was ridiculous on why he would ask that in the first place.
"Well just what is Cerulean like and are there specific things that I need to know about how you live and everything and I'll take you to the animal reserve as promised." Trunks told her they started walking while Trunks lead the way. They were both quiet then Misty was asked again to tell about where she resided.
Misty didn't know where to start, so she told him from the beginning, about her sisters, about herself and her love for water Pokemon, and when Trunks asked what a Pokemon was she answered to him like it was an okay thing to ask, despite feeling deep down she felt the boy next to her wasn't very smart. She talked about her adventures with her friends Ash and Brock (Pikachu and Togepi too) and let in on who they are. Trunks now know what a gym leader is and who the elite four are along with knowing a bunch of Pokemon occupations (such as coordinators, nurses, professors, breeders, and etc.) all from what she knew about them. She even mentioned Team Rocket and their ridiculous motto, Trunks may not know them but he wants to know why they won't give up on being such ding-a-lings.
Trunks wondered how was it possible for every nurse or every officer having the same name and looking exactly alike. Goten was an exception because he has a different name than his own dad, plus that's his father, the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys look like their in-laws or their distant cousins. One thing for certain he felt sorry each and every one of them because of Misty's friend Brock.
"They're both really caring towards others, extremely goofy, and will give a helping hand no matter what the costs," Misty was wrapping up of how Goten and Ash were alike.
"Not to mention they can get annoying but we both care about them," Trunks added while agreeing with her, after all from what she told him how Goten was similar to her friend that she mostly mentioned out of everyone.
Misty smiled. "And we admire them, although we're both too proud of ourselves to admit it because we see ourselves as the more mature ones while they are little kids that we don't want growing up without us," Misty practically started comparing her and Trunks. What she didn't mention was the fact they both wanted to pursue extremely busy and nowhere near easy goals that belonged to their family and wanted to keep the tradition alive because they both feel like they're the only ones who can make that happen. The difference though, was that Misty actually wanted to become a water Pokemon gym leader tradition or no tradition, whereas Trunks was stuck and didn't really want to be the president of capsule corp but he had to step up since no one would just like Misty had to because of her irresponsible and careless older sisters will ruin that for her.
Misty smirked since Trunks seemed to be in a state where it shows on his face that his time of listening seemed to be up. "Although I'm a lot smarter and prettier version of you that's a lot less grumpy and cocky," Misty threw her lure for the fish to be reeled in.
"Yeah" Trunks agreed cluelessly, then he turns to look at her, "Hey!" Misty laughed.
"But what you have in common with Ash is that you don't think straight and I can always get to you," Misty continue to chuckle. "Whereas Goten is polite and extremely cheerful to a point you realize that you know nothing will get to him because he's hard to argue with," she sighed feeling a little disappointed.
"Sure, but if you do manage to get him to disagree or make him upset, then that'll be a bad mistake," Trunks stated.
Misty bit her lip, "I would figure. He's a sweet guy and I wouldn't have a heart if I did, and what would be worse than the feeling of making someone so innocent and sweet upset?" She looked away imagining the terrible feeling.
Trunks felt a little ache inside, but he smiled at her, "You have feelings for Goten, don't you?" Misty's ears perked up and looked back at Trunks and gaped at him.
"What makes you say that?!" Misty shouted, but not loud enough for anyone, aside from Trunks, to hear.
"I have to be a total moron to not see you had an obvious crush on this friend Ash of yours. Why not have a thing for a guy you practically see as the same person as your old crush, only in your eyes better," Trunks said a little frustrated. "I'm just surprised your friend Brock didn't seem to notice it but your pal Tracey did," he grumbled out the last part, which had Misty be prevented from understanding since she couldn't hear.
"Maybe that's just the thing Trunks, perhaps I moved on to a point where I can't stand anyone who's like him," Her face soften, she was sad and memories of her and Ash's travels alongside Brock appeared before her.
"You still continue to get along with Goten, better than with me, you like him because he's a good friend like Ash," Trunks pointed out. "Besides so what if I know Ash isn't in this dimension and Goten wouldn't care if you ask him on a date despite your reason, so don't go denying it," he said 'it's not like we'll see each other again after this,' he thought to himself bitterly. Misty snapped out her own thoughts only getting a gist of what he said.
"Remember there's still major differences," she said softly as the memories fade and new ones of just the day before appeared. "Goten is always there when you truly need him, but if he is somewhere else in the world, it's mostly because he's doing what's best for everyone, not to pursue his own goals," she classified to what she remembered about the cheerful boy.
"How would you know that?" Trunks were getting suspicious.
She sighed, "I don't know, I just do" having her right hand hold on to her left arm as she was getting an awkward feeling inside. "Goten seems to be more obedient towards you than Ash does with me,"
"In other words, Goten is somewhat better because he listens." Trunks simplified.
Misty put a small smile on her face, "I'm sorry, you listen too and if it helps, I do feel safe and comfortable around you as well as Ash and Goten," she clarified.
"Hold on, didn't Goten kind of kidnap you? I mean the guy is polite but I wouldn't think so if that was the first impression he made towards me," Trunks said.
The tomboyish mermaid thought about it, "I guess he did kidnap me, but before he did he was being a gentleman even after I responded rudely," Misty recalled the events from the day before.
A moment of small silence was interrupted by Misty who believed there was no reason to continue the subject so she changed it by telling how she felt towards the friendship of Trunks and Goten.
"I'm a bit jealous of you and Goten being so close and never argue, I just wish Ash and I were like that, so that way I have a better reason to miss him," She confessed.
"Me and Goten do argue however it's usually one-sided, and I'm the cause of it all," Trunks admitted.
"Oh, I guess you're not the only one who needs to think straight," Misty said.
"Yep, who expects so much out of a person on the first day they meet?" Trunks asked jokingly, knowing full well he was making fun of himself too. Misty ignored him, she wanted to continue by using the comeback with mentioning Mai, but the surroundings felt so safe and secure that she didn't want to change that.
"And Misty, there's no reason to have something better to miss your friend, for all could've happened, you could be enemies, but you're not, sure it won't hurt as much when missing him as a friend, but in fairness that depends on you," Trunks explained.
"What are you talking about?" Misty raised an eyebrow.
"Put it this way, there are people who look at things differently and see their own order of importance rather if things are 'bad' or 'good'." Trunks put air quotes as he said 'bad' and 'good'.
Misty still looked confused as if she was Ash getting basic things. "I'm still not getting you." Misty felt dumbfounded, somewhat feeling like her Psyduck.
"One man's sin is another's saint, such as killing if there's some crazy maniac on the loose hurting people, it's up to someone taking that person down," Trunks was not getting to her, but refused to give up.
"There's advantages and disadvantages to everything you choose, however, it's how you the individual look at it and how it means to you, what you find more important," Misty still had the same confused look on her face but she was getting it a bit better at what he was trying to say.
"For example, what I'm saying to you confuses you, but might make perfect sense to someone else rather they agree with me or not," Misty re-thought about everything he just said and put it all together as if it were some kind of puzzle.
"I get it, like how I think Ash and Goten are alike, some might disagree while others are neutral about it by the use of what they believe in or what they know or maybe both or nothing. You know Trunks that's crazy thinking, but that's just me." she winked at him proven she got it. Misty felt her brain fried but she started to tell him about the Pokemon battles from her world.
The boy with the gorgeous lavender hair looked back at the red-haired beauty,"Back to you and Goten," Trunks really didn't want to talk about it, but it would mean he was right.
"Fine, I do like Goten, happy? Now can I get to telling you about Pokemon battles?" Misty groaned. Trunks nodded and let her go on with something that wasn't really necessary and despite it being about battles, he wasn't interested in it either.
Trunks were actually amused about hearing the battles and how it was basically a giant rock, paper, scissors game but learning the advantages and disadvantages can really help Trunks in his own type of combat. Misty mentioned so much that the sun was already up once more. When Trunks told her about each and every creature's story that his grandfather rescued, she was equally amazed. They played with the animals for a while, Misty tried to teach them some tricks but none wouldn't budge into listening to her. Trunks and Misty fed the animals and gave them baths, Trunks didn't like the idea but Misty was the one to insist on helping his own grandfather out he was busy, Misty felt like she was rewarded, Trunks, on the other hand, felt like he was doing chores.
Some time passed, Misty soon forgot about being told she was from a different dimension, telling Trunks everything that she knew about her own world really calmed her down. Mrs. Brief came in with one-year-old Bulla, whom ran toward Misty and gave her a big hug. All of them were soon playing together as Mrs. Brief was watching in delight. Bulla was spun around by Misty, and when Trunks got the hold of his sister he tossed her up in the air, while she laughed and squealed in excitement.
Misty went into the playroom where Bulla likes to play dress up and tea parties, Misty wanted to join in and somehow convinced Trunks to do so as well. They put on fashion shows as Trunks was the judge, he didn't make fun of his little sister but he did make fun of Misty every time she came out with an outfit, thus resulting in throwing a shoe at him in a playful way, and with Bulla being so young she also threw her shoes at her brother. They played prince and two princesses, for some odd reason Trunks was actually not the prince, Misty was, it was her own sweet revenge to get back at Trunks for making fun of her in a dress by quickly putting on the only prince outfit. Bulla and Misty couldn't help laughing.
"Jokes on you two, I feel pretty." When Trunks said that Bulma walked passed the door, then walked back backward to check on her son.
"Trunks are you okay?" Bulma asked feeling his head 'You're lucky your father didn't catch you like this' Bulma thought to herself even though she should really be saying it aloud to him that way he can hear. Misty burst in laughter, Bulla giggled. Bulma decides it wasn't the time to get answers on Misty's dimension, Bulma had a hunch to it that her son already did his job, however, she needs to be patient with getting in on her part she still needed to do work and get ready for the gathering.
"I'm fine mom, sheesh, I was just tricked into a dress is all." Trunks told his mom like it was a normal thing he does, which it really wasn't, Bulma looked at her little princess (that wasn't a boy) and Misty in the only prince outfit the Brief residence has to offer, she couldn't help but laugh too, after having a nice deserved laugh, she went back to her daily routine.
"I just want to say that I'm so glad that wasn't my dad or Goten." Trunks said with relief. He took off the dress before Goten came unannounced again.
"Okay, I guess we can settle for a while." Misty took off her outfit and helped Bulla take off hers. Misty told Mrs. Brief that she'll be taking care of Bulla for the day to give her break, Mrs. Brief believes she was the angel sent from all the goodness, they got to know each other a little yesterday, so of course Mrs. Brief trusts her, after all, Bulla obviously loves Misty. Misty kept hold of Bulla's hand while she and Trunks went outside.
When the trio got outside in the backyard, Misty sat in a chair while Bulla sat in her lap. Trunks sat down as well, he didn't know why they came outside and Misty didn't question it because she thought it would be a good idea to get some sunlight, but Trunks then thought of the reason.
"You know, I notice you easily got fond of Bulla and my grandma." Trunks noted. Misty happened to be fidgeting with Bulla's hands, making the baby giggle.
"Hm? Oh, I also learned to love your mother in just a snap, although I did have a little bit of a hard time with you, and as for Goten of having a hard time of getting to know the guy was all on me." Misty reminded him. Bulla got a little tired of the burning sun, so she took a nap on Misty by laying her head on Misty's chest.
"Well if you liked meeting everyone you know by far, how would you like it if you met more people from this dimension?" Trunks asked her, she started to actually believe she's from different dimension, it haven't seemed so easy but Trunks was someone to trust, he cared about her, and as ridiculous as it sounds she now believes it, she seen tons of animals from the reserve, none of which are any type of Pokemon and they're are suppose to be all over the world she came from, so now of course she believes it; however she was not that convinced.
"I would love to meet new people, but please tell me they are people you know." Misty said as if she didn't hear 'the different dimension' part.
"Of course they are although some of them are relatives of Goten." Trunks said knowingly that Chichi invited Gohan and his new family, along with the Ox-King. The others will be Tien, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Krillin, 18, Marron, and Launch.
I wanted to show a better picture of how Ash and Goten are alike, did I do a good job? I hope I did and believe me that they have a lot in common in fact both of these entire series have more in common with each other than you think, actually everything does. Just look only at the similarities between your least and best favorite show and you might be surprised.
Launch will be Tien's wife in this story because if Akira Toriyama hasn't accidentally forgotten about her, I'm sure she would be.
Also in Misty's and Trunks conversation, it's about utilitarianism, don't know what that looks it up or pay attention in language arts.
Another thing, yes Misty can already tell what Goten and Trunks are like right away. For the record, I believe Misty is overconfident like Trunks but I don't think it's to point where she is considered being cocky like Trunks, although Trunks does to seem to have more heart than her depending on how you look at it.
Please review especially if you don't understand something! If you're going to post anything mean think again you wouldn't like anybody doing that to you, and please don't do it to anyone else, I rather have you guys insult me till I can't take it than have you insult someone else. I can just report you and I'm not afraid to do it.
