Hi guys, I let you the chapter 12. I hope you will like it, it's a bit longer but I couldn't cut in the middle.
Meanwhile at Cerulean's Casino, someone was training too... Training to beat him, Ash Ketchum, time was right now.
...
Cerulean Gym
Ash was waiting for Misty out of the gym, he was late already so a bit more or a bit less? that's why he decided to wait for Misty and goes with her to the restaurant. It was not really a restaurant , it was a typical dinner where all the young persons of the surrounding area.
They decided to meet at 7pm but Ash promised to Serena that he would go with her for some shoppping, he was supposed to meet her at 6pm, it was 6:45pm, she was going to kill him.
He was enjoying his time with Misty and shopping was not really his thing, plus he knew Serena, for sure she would have find someone to got with her.
He looked at his watch again.
"What the hell is she doing", he said for himself.
He went inside of the gym again, looking for Misty. He saw her on the stairs.
"Misty, come on we are gonna be late"
"Sorry Ash but weren't you supposed to meet Serena before to meet all of us" she replied to see that he was till there.
"I was but I was late already for 6pm, when I went out of the shower it was 6:30pm"
"You took a 20min shower", she asked surprised
"Said the one to whom it took an hour to get ready and for what, for wearing a jean and a yellow crop top"
Misty hurt, looked at herself, few minutes before, she was in her room satisfied with her outfit, yellow was her colour and that jean was fitting her pefectly but earring Ash criticizing her outfit was the worst thing possible for her.
She thought about Serena, how could she think for a minute that Ash might have an interest on her. His girlfriend was gorgeous, always wearing the lastest must-have when she was just Misty, jean, sneakers, basic top... nothing to compare with Serena.
...
"Mist, hello, earth is calling Misty, is there someone under those red hair"
"Yes and I was thinking that may be we could take a taxi or use my bike"
"Defintely your bike, excercise always better"
"But how are we going to fit both of us on it"
"I drive, you take a sit on handlebars and play GPS"
"We are going to fall"
They started to laugh.
...
They arrived at the restaurant at 7:15pm. Brock saw them from the window and smiled, he was happy to see Misty so happy. He hoped that one day those two will realize that they are perfect for each other.
Serena saw them arrive too but she did not make her smile. When Ash and Misty came inside they were laughing, Ash stopped when he noticed Serena's angry face.
He sat next to her and looked at Brock, he was looking for help.
"So Ash, as I can see even if you are a pokemon master, be on time is still not something you can do", laughed Brock
"Sorry, I had many trainers to defeat today and then Misty wanted a taxi but I chose the bike, ecologic, better for the environment"
"And a good excuse to do excercise as if you need it", laughed Clemont
Everybody laughed except Serena and Misty. Serena was looking at her as she did when they met. Her blue eyes where sending bombs. Misty was too uncomfortable to laugh. She wanted to scream: Serena, don't look at me like that, he is your boyfriend he chose you not me, relax.
...
When they were leaving the diner, Ash wanted to ask Misty if she needed money for a taxi but Serena took him apart from the group.
"Ash, you could have call me"
"Sorry"
"I don't want to fight with you Ash, could we just go home", she sighed
"Sure, I am going to ask Brock to drive Misty home"
"Ash, she doesn't need you, she doesn't need you to ask Brock to drive her home. Hello Ash, wake up, do you think that she was waiting for you to come back to go out, she is a big girl, I think she can take care of herself she doesn't need a baby sitter"
Without waiting for his reply she hailed a taxi.
"Ash are you coming"
Ash looked at his friends and say bye with his hand, he knew that Serena was right but it was a natural instinct to protect Misty. He could not control it.
He would see her on the morning anyway, even if it was saturday he would go to train and to see her.
...
Days after days Ash was coming earlier to the gym and leaving later, he even spent two night at Brock's. He was so comfortable at the gym with Misty. She was now back to her gym leader position but Ash was coming to train and to fight with her. They did few duo battles, it was funny for them, not for their opponents. They were flirting with each other. Misty thought few times that Ash was about to kiss her but nothing happened.
Unfortunately, those 2 weeks were almost over and Serena wanted to go back to Lumious. Ash could not find the courage to let Misty knows about his next departure. Ash was confused, he did not know what to do. He talked about it few times with Brock but Brock was telling him that he could not decide for him.
He wanted to stay here, train and help Misty at the gym, going out with Brock at night, seeing his friends during the week-end and his mum everyday but on the other side there was Serena. He was not in love with her but she was important for him. She meant a lot for him. He could not break up with her here and just let her go to Lumious, it did not feel right for him.
He should go with her to Lumious and then once she will be with her friends and family, he would break up with her but not here, not like this when she had no one here except him.
He did not hear Misty coming. He was inside of the gym, his feet on the swimming pool, looking at the infinity.
"Ash, are you ok, you are quiet today"
"I am just thinking"
"About what"
"My life, I have to decide what I want now"
"Which is"
"I have no idea, after winning the champion's league I chose the option replacement"
"That's why you could take my place without any problem, I understand now"
"Yes but the thing is that replacements mean travel again and again and may be it would be easier for me to pick a place on a league or asked for a gym but where"
"Where your heart belongs Ash"
"My heart doesn't belong anywhere, I mean, I can't choose"
"Because of Serena"
"Serena, no, why"
"I don't know she is your girlfriend, she is from Kalos, not really the closest destination to Pallet Town. I thought that may be you could not choose because of her"
"No, no, it's nothing like that, I mean of course Serena is important but I declined already the offer from Kalos's league, I want to come back to Kanto, it's just that I don't know where or what to choose"
"Well you have time to think about it"
"I have till september, then in september if I haven't choose anything, the league will choose for me, may be I should pick replcaments in the orange islands"
"Not a bad idea, I would visit for holidays or sure"
"And you Misty, what are your plans"
"I don't know, I have the feeling that I would never have what I want anyway so"
"And what do you want" he asked in a very serious ton
"You are the one who was always pushing me, encouraging me, you can't give up on what you want, this is not you"
"Easy to say, hard to do", she joked
"Talking about it, Misty, I have to tell you that as your sick leave is over and as Serena wants to go back to Lumious, well we are leaving on sunday. My mother is doing a barbecue tomorrow night, you are welcome, everybody will be there"
And here was Misty again, Ash telling her that he had to leave again for an undefine period.
...
After Ash left the gym, she talked about it with Daisy. Daisy advised her that she should tell him before he leaves.
"Misty, please for once believe me, I have been looking at you two those days, he is in love you Misty as much as you are, don't let him go"
...
Barbecue at Ketchum's house.
Serena was so happy, finally she was leaving with Ash to Lumious, goodbye Misty, Delia, Brock... Ash and her alone again. They had many fights since they arrived at Pallet Town but she knew that once they would be in Lumious all those fights would be over. Everything was so easy there, she was her family there, of course there was Clemont and his sister but it was not the same, she was the master piece of Ash's life and that's why she was counting the minutes to be back to Kanto.
For Misty it was the contrary, she had now 24 hours to talk to Ash but how could she tell him in 24 hours when she had more than 2 weeks to tell him. She was looking at the Ketchum's house, she was seeing Ash who was talking with Oak, Brock and Jacky and then she saw Serena coming, kisisng Ash and jealousy finally came to her.
It was her life, not Serena's one, she was the one who had to be with Ash.
"Come on Misty, you have to do it, think about what Daisy said, talk now or shut up forever", she encouraged herself. For the occasion she decided to dress up like a girl. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and gold sandals and her red hair over her back.
That night was the night, it would be a night to remember forever for her and Ash. She was right but at that moment she had no idea of the real reason which would make of this night a special one.
...
While she was walking to Ash and Brock, 4 persons went to the field behind the house. The field where Ask's pokemons where.
Brock had been the first one who saw Misty coming, then Ash followed Brock's gaze and could not believe what he was seeing: Misty in a dress.
"Wow, she looks hot"
"Brock, you are a pig, she is beautiful and you are a jerk if she needs to wear a dress to make you see it"
"Said the expert", laughed Brock
"Hi Ash, Brock, why are you laughing"
"Pig Brock is back", smiked Ash
"Shut up Ash, Misty you look beautif" he stopped as they were earring screams from the field.
"My pokemons", said Ash who turned white
"pikachu/we have to go there"
On that moment Peter and Oak were coming back to Ash. Ash looked at his friends, looking for help.
"I am going Ash, don't worry, you stay here with Broc", said Misty
"no, I am coming", reeplied Ash
"Ash, you have to talk with Peter, he is the boss of the league and it's probably nothing"
"She is right", conceded Brock
Ash was not convinced but Peter was already placing an hand on his shoulder; Misty left before he could stop her.
Ash looked at Pikachu
"pika, pi/ I al going with her, don't worry"
"Thanks" murmured Ash
Misty went to the field and could not believe what she was seeing, Charizard tied up to a tree then she saw Tauros, Blastoise and more pokemons laying on the grass, Pidgeot tied up to another tree. Greninja, Dedenne, Lapras were fighting against pokemons, TR's pokemons, of course, she thought after seeing 3 people, the last one shorter, Meowth.
She walked to Charizard, Pikachu on her shoulders. Charizard was so nervous, suddendly he screamed again.
"Charizard, what's going on, she turned and she could not believe what she was seeing. Charizard attacked but he stopped the attack.
"Not the person that I wanted to see but you will be my lures, you and Pikachu, I couldn't not get better"
"You speak", asked Misty confused. She was terrified, she could not believe it
"Yes I speak and now it's time for you to shut up", he replied using hypnosis. He took Pikachu and Misty, Charizard was angrier than ever, he jumped, uprooting the tree, he was in such a rage that he broke the chain, lancing his arms on the air.
Ash ran away from Peter after earring Charizard screaming but he arrived to late. That masked person disappeared with them.
"Misty, Pikachu", Ash screamed
