Hello, Minna! Here's the next chapter to a Little Pokemon Dream. Cerulean City, here we come. We'll be in the city for some time so get comfy. There's a lot to get through!

"Cerulean City, here we are!" yelled Ash at the top of his lungs, before being joined by Pikachu and Poliwhirl chanting their names. People turned to look at her with confused looks because of his random yell. He didn't even noticed the looks at all, causing the others to all sigh.

"Ash!" Misty said harshly, grabbing his ear with her free hand. She moaned out her next line. "You're making a scene and I don't know about you, but I rather not be stared at."

He blinked, before looking around at the crowd of people who were staring at them. He chuckled nervously, rubbing his head. "Sorry, Misty. I just got caught up in the moment. I just can't wait to battle you for the first time."

"Sure, I get that...," she whispered, looking, for a second, at the gym in the distance. "But don't you need to heal your Pokemon so that they aren't too weak to battle, remember?"

"Oh yeah," he said, almost dumbly. He smiled, giving a thumbs up. "You'll head onto the gym, I'll be there in a few minutes" with that said, he ran off to the Pokemon Center with Pikachu and Poliwhirl hot on his heels.

"That boy...," Misty groaned, before turning to Serena and Brock. She sighed, as she held her Azurill close to her as she spoke. "We should do as he said and go to the gym now, I want to see my sisters anyway."

"Sisters?" asked Serena, as she held her Cleffa close to her. She hadn't be made aware of the fact that Misty had sisters yet, since she hadn't really asked about it. Plus, she didn't know much about the Kanto gym system like she knew about her own gyms from Kalos.

"Yeah, my older sisters who help run the gym. They're the reason that the gym is legally open, since my oldest sister - Daisy - is now 20 with my other two sisters being 18. Though, of the four of us, it felt like I was the only one who kept the gym running," Misty sighed, closing her Viridian eyes. She opened them again and said gently with a half-smile. "Lets get going."

The group headed towards the Cerulean City gym, which was like a brightly-colored dome with a gigantic picture of a Dewgong on the top. Misty gave a homely smile, as she was glad to be back. She gently pressed her hand on the door, whilst using her other hand to stable her beloved Baby Pokemon. She pushed the door inwards and walked into the entrance. "Daisy, Lily, Violet! I'm home, where are you girls?"

"Misty, your home," said a voice, that originated from a blonde haired woman with green eyes. The blonde hugged her younger sister gently, before pulling away and asking in a kind voice. "Did you catch any new Pokemon while you were out and about?"

"Just a Goldeen, before I was attacked by a group of Beedrill..." whispered Misty, before picking her voice back as she requested what she was planning. "I only came back so I can give my new friend a official gym battle. Is that alright with you, Daisy?"

Daisy put her hand on her cheek, before sighing. "I was hoping you were coming back to like stay. But it's alright with me, little sis," she then paused a little, realizing what Misty had said after 'Goldeen'. She continued with confusion and somewhat concern. "You were attacked by Beedrill? How did you even managed to encounter a Bug Pokemon with your fear?"

Misty chuckled a little, it was nervous and quiet. She then uttered out with a half-smile, half-frown. It was hard to tell what she was gonna feel about explaining herself to her oldest sister. "Well...I might as well explain..."

Flashback (Misty's pov)

I was fishing in the middle of the Viridian Forest...Yes, the Viridian Forest. Why? You can catch rarer Pokemon there, so I was to find some of them. But, I was only able to bait a Goldeen, despite wishing to find a Corsola. I didn't notice the Beedrill at first, as I put the Goldeen in one of my poke balls before going back to try to get a Crosola again. I threw my bait into the water, waiting before...

They appeared in front of me at random, I freaked out. I picked up Azurill and tried to run away, but I tripped over a root shortly. Azurill tried to protect me, but got poisoned in the process. I was shocked, grabbing her and protected her as I got attacked and poisoned myself. I screamed many times, trying to alert passing trainers to my existence. But many didn't come to me, until I was discovered by a boy called Ash...No, I'm not crushing on him, Daisy! Don't even get started on shipping me with someone, he has a girlfriend anyway.

*Sigh* Can I get back to the story?...Thank you. Ash saved me from the Beedrill using his Pikachu and Poliwhirl and gave me some antidote for Azurill and to weaken my own poisoning. We chatted from a while until we got out of the forest, and then I went to the hospital. The end. Sorry, there's not anymore to tell beyond the fact that I actually now have a boyfriend and it's not Ash, but Brock.

Present (No pov)

Misty finished up, before glaring at her sister, who had a rather teasing look on her face. She groaned, before moaning out her annoyance. "Okay, have you had enough of teasing me now?"

Before Daisy was able to reply, the door behind them opened to reveal Ash. He was smiling brightly, before walking over to the group. He gently hugged Serena from behind, surprising the honey blonde a little to the point she was blushing. He looked at Misty and said. "Are you ready for our battle now, I been waiting all day to battle you!"

"Sure thing, Ash. Lets get to the pool then, I'll warn you that you're better off using Pokemon that can swim since the battle field is the pool," Misty responded as she walked into the room with the giant swimming pool. "Choose your 2 Pokemon wisely, Ketchum. I'm not gonna go easy on you just because you're my best friend. You realize that?"

"You got it," Ash said with a smile, before looking at the poke balls. He decided quickly which two he wanted to use, before whispering to Pikachu and Poliwhirl. "You two, I know that both of you are able to swim, but I want to see if I could potentially evolve the two of the babies in the family."

"Poli!" "Pika!" both nodded, energetically. They then turned to Misty, who was holding her first poke ball. She had a confident smile that also caused Ash to smile along with her. He watched as Brock, Serena, Daisy and Misty's other two sisters, who had recently walked in, Lily and Violet go to sit down at the side. He also took note of the announcer, something that Brock's battle lacked oddly.

"Will both of the trainers please call their first Pokemon?"

Ash smiled, after the announcer smiled. He threw out his Fish Pokemon, Magikarp. The golden fish seemed to enjoy the water a lot. Misty seemed a little uneasy when she saw the shiny Pokemon, knowing that Ash was wanting to evolve him. She gulped a little before sending out her first Pokemon, which was her Goldeen. "Goldeen, use Horn Attack!"

"Magikarp, dodge with Bounce!" yelled Ash. Magikarp did as told and dodged Goldeen's incoming horn by jumping into the air. "Now use Tackle!" The Fish Pokemon dived down and smacked into Goldeen with heavy force.

"Goldeen, don't let it faze you. Use Water Pulse!" Misty yelled, as she watched Goldeen sink under water. The Pokemon nodded and cried out as he sent a barreling ball of water towards Ash's Magikarp.

"Dodge it!" Ash yelled. Magikarp swam quickly out of the wave, causing the attack to hit the ceiling instead and burst into smaller pieces of water that rained over the battle field for a little while. "Tackle attack, go!"

Goldeen was unable to continue after Magikarp dived straight into it. The Pokemon seemed to smile as it glowed brightly and evolve into the beautiful red Gyarados that caused Misty to shiver slightly. Daisy noticed her shivering and was about to get the announcer to stop the fight, when Misty recalled her Goldeen and sent out her Starmie. She was still quaking but she seemed prepared to battle her fears, which was amazing for her to do. "I'm gonna have to get used to your Gyarados, so I should start now. Am I right, Ash?"

Ash smiled, nodding his head as he petted Gyarados' scales He was glad she was facing her fears so said with confidence "Let get battling then!" he smiled, as he yelled out. "Gyarados, Ice Fang!"

Gyarados smiled at the Starmie and dived down, biting into it with icy teeth. He didn't get the frozen status but it was good enough for the start as it flinched the Pokemon, after Misty ordered it to use 'psychic'. The orange haired girl gasped in shock, as she looked at the Gyarados with pure fear in her eyes. Not because she was scared of it, but because she was scared of losing easily.

"Now use Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled as he threw the TM towards the Atrocious Pokemon, he had the TM ever since his father died as he always wanted any Pokemon that could learn Thunderbolt to have it as memory to his father and his Raichu. The disc bounced back to him after Gyarados took the information in and send the crashing lightning down on the poor Starmie, who wasn't able to defend itself in time.

Misty fell to her knees and sighed. "I guess you won, Ash. Without even requiring a second Pokemon," she chuckled, tears forming in her eyes. She was proud of her friend, despite the fact her own starter stood no chance against the boy. She pulled herself together and recalled her Starmie, whispering. "Good work, you did well despite the clear weakness to that Thunderbolt," she walked over to Ash and dropped the teardrop shaped badge into his awaiting hand. "You did amazing, Ash. I'm scared to think of how it would have went if you had chosen Pikachu as opposed to using Gyarados. So, I present to you the Cascade Badge, you earned it."

"Thanks, Misty. I also commend you on facing your fear towards Gyarados, I was gonna call the match off but you pulled yourself together before I had the chance. That shows how strong you are as a person, next step is getting you to accept Beedrill," he said with a surprisingly teasing tone towards the end of his sentence.

Misty groaned, before getting a mallet out of seemingly nowhere and thwacking the boy harshly before yelling out her annoyance towards the idea of facing her fear of bug types. "We'll see about that, Ketchum!"

With Gyarados evolved and Misty facing her fears, what could possibly be next for the trainers. Serena, who had been watching with Cleffa on her lap, sighed under her breath before whispering to herself in a somewhat sad tone of voice. "Ash is amazing...but I don't want to do Pokemon battles like him...but where do I find my true dream?..."

Referencing TMs, does it ever happen in the anime? I don't think so, but oh well. I hope you enjoyed, I have a bit of a voting thing I want to get out of the way next though. Slight spoiler, both Ash and Serena will be receiving a Eevee. I want you to vote the evolution to their Eevee in the comments. You have until Friday to decide which ones you want.
