Ash carried Misty and ran away from the crowd. Away from everyone... Meanwhile Misty was dreaming in her unconscious state...

[Misty's dream, her POV]
I am lying down on something. It feels like a cloud. I roll around in this soft cloud like, uhm, I don't know what it it. I open my eyes and see, I really am on a cloud. Am I dreaming? In the distance I see Ash asleep on another cloud. I try to go there by jumping from cloud to cloud.

I have almost reached him. One more jump. But the jump is too big. It is almost as if I am not aloud to reach Ash. But why? He's my best friend. "Ash!" I call out. "Are you awake?!" No answer. Well, I have no other choice but to jump over there. I take a few steps back. Run and lift myself up into the air. I don't think I will make it. I almost don't, but lucky for me I can hold on to the cloud with my hands. It's not hard at all. It's almost as if gravity barely exists. Enough to not let you fly, but not enough to make hanging on to something a heavy task. I pull myself up and walk over to Ash. I shake him a little and see his eyes slowly opening.

"Ash?"

"Hello, Misty"

"Where, where are we?"

"Misty, how am I supposed to know that. And why do YOU, of all people, think I do. You think I'm stupid and always get lost."

"You have a point."

"Yes I do, now miss know it all, where do YOU think we are?" He was sitting up.

"Well, uhm we are on clouds. But I don't know where."

"So you're saying that we can sit and stand on clouds?"

"Yeah."

"I think you are dreaming Misty."

"Misty! Misty! Misty! Misty!" I heard my name.

[End of Misty's dream, still Misty's POV]

"Misty! Misty! Are you awake?" I heard.

I opened my eyes and saw Ash in front of me, relieved I was awake.

"Where, where are we?" I asked confused.

"Oh, uhm. We are in the cave." A tear dropped from his eye.

"Why are you crying Ash?" He NEVER cried, so seeing him cry was really surprising.

"No reason." he replied, obviously lying.

[Ash's POV]
This cave, it was where Samantha and I spent weeks. It was our home, it was secret. No one could find us, I felt safe here. Even if I was alone. But it does make me sad, Samantha is gone now. She showed me this cave after she rescued me, putting her own life in danger for her best friend, even though she thought I hated her. Of Course I didn't, I didn't hate her. Why would I ever hate her? To think a little childish fight separated us for 5 years is just shocking. And to think I won't be able to see her again, is depressing.

I noticed Misty tapping my back and trying to get me to listen to her. Probably tell her why I'm so depressed. But I can't. She won't understand. She doesn't know Samantha and the fact that I killed Samantha will probably scare her away. I don't want that. I need Misty, she actually cares about me. There is Ashton, but I doubt he is actually on my side. It's the reason I ran away from him. There is my mom, but I haven't talked to her in years and I'm not planning on just walking up to her, putting her life in danger. And living in Pallet again. Not to mention it really dangerous staying in one place. And there is Misty. She is already being hunted down, so me staying close to her would be safer for her and I wouldn't put another person's life in danger. She is my best friend. But she is also scared of me now. Who wouldn't be? Your best friend disappearing, then suddenly after 2 years you see him again. He has elemental powers, is being hunted down, because you know him you are also being hunted down, and you heard him say he wants to kill you. Dammit I sound evil. I decided I SHOULD talk to Misty and tell her everything. Samantha, the reason why she is here, and my plan of how I want to take down Team Rocket.

I turned to her and began... "Misty, I need to tell you a few things."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the reason I was crying is because, uhm... Well I used to share this cave with someone. And well, she is dead. And the worst part is I am responsible for her death, partially."

"What do you mean, partially?"

"I mean, Team Rocket forced me to kill her. There was some blackmailing going on and so I killed her."

"You arent gonna kill me right?"

"Look, Samantha asked me to kill her because she was in a lot of pain and we both knew that they wouldn't stop it."

"So you were helping her commit suicide?"

"I guess so."

"That's all you wanted to say?"

"No, I also wanted to tell you why I brought you here. And something that has changed since I got kidnapped and stuff."

"What changed?"

"I have electric powers, just like pikachu."

"WHAT?!"

"Look, it's a long story for another day. But I know pikachu's attacks. And I also figured a way to get him into his pokeball. Turns out professor Oak gave me the wrong one all along. Pikachu's ball has a lightning bolt on it and he doesn't mind going into that one. Oak doesn't know I have it though, I stole it from him. His lab is so easy to break into."

"I see your personality has changed as well, stealing you say?"

"Well, technically it was my pokeball all along. But yeah I have to steal things sometimes. A lot actually. I need to survive without getting any money from anyone. Of course im gonna steal. Isn't it obvious?"

"Well, it is kind of a bad thing to do."

"Well, most of the money I steal comes from the company that happens to also kidnap me. But getting back to the point, I'm gonna tell you my plan of how to take down Team Rocket."

"And that is?"

"Well, I divided it into 5 steps. The first step is to get stronger and master my powers. I already have done that part. The second step is to get people to join my army. It's hard to do since I have to make sure Team Rocket doesn't know about it and I get kidnapped about every week or so which scares soldiers away. The third step is to take down the bases of Team Rocket. The fourth step to take down the headquarters. And the final step is to kill Giovanni."

"Who is Giovanni?"

"Oh, I forgot you don't know anything about Team Rocket. Giovanni is the leader."

"So, right now you need to find soldiers?"

"Yeah."

"Good luck with that."

"Thanks?"
