A TRUE FRIEND
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, or any of its characters, except for the ones in this story, or otherwise Ash would have gotten fourth place in the Hoenn league just to keep the pattern going.
Misty was walking towards Ash's room wanting to see how her friend was holding up. When she reached it, and opened the door, a vein popped onto her head as she saw something that almost made her lose her temper. There was May, at first it looked like she was getting ready to leave, but what got Misty mad was that the younger girl has leaned over to give Ash a light kiss on the cheek before leaving.
When she noticed Misty standing there, looking like she was about to explode, "Is something wrong, Misty?" May asked, unaware on the reason why the older girl was blowing a little bit of steam out of her ears.
Misty regains enough of her composure to answer, "Nothing's wrong." She said a little too quickly, "So what was with the kiss?"
May just gave a slight blush at this, but her face still showed a sad look, Oh nothing. I guess I just wanted to thank him the best I can considering how much we've been through together." She explained, "And I guess I just got a good look at mortality since just a couple of days ago, somebody close to us just showed that no matter how many injuries he can walk away from, he is far from invincible."
That was enough to snap Misty out of her stupor, and started to feel guilty again, "I know what you mean, May." She said, "Are you done talking to him?"
"Yeah, he's all yours for now." May answered before leaving.
When she was sure that they were alone now, Misty closed the door behind her, and took a seat. She looked at Pikachu, who was currently just sitting there, looking at its friend. "You know, Ash, I can't help but feel a little jealous towards you and Pikachu. I can still remember the days when I would be carrying Togepi in my arms." She started saying, a small tear going down her cheek, "And now that it evolved into a Togetic, and decided to stay to protect the other Togepi, I started to think about the time when you were willing to leave Pikachu behind just so you think that he would be happier with its own kind, instead it decided that it would rather be with you. Instead, it was the other way around and I felt like the only thing that I can do was support it."
When she looked at Ash's eyes, expecting them to open them anytime now. "I guess I'm also feeling a little guilty because I've never actually treated you like a friend. While I've treated you as a person, I've also started to treat you the same way my sisters always treated me, with a few extras on my own. You, on the other hand, always tried to be nice with everyone. Most of the time, you just follow your heart, the rest of the time you tend to jump in first without even thinking. You've even treated me with some real kindness that all I attend to do is throw it in your face by reminding you about my bike. I don't think I can even recall one time that I ever thanked you for helping me out even when you didn't need to. Even some of the things that you caused due to me shooting my mouth off, to where I insult your pride enough, I never apologize to you like I do to the others I've accidentally mouth off to." She explained, while some small tears started to come down her face.
She started to remember some of the pokemon they got to meet, especially ones of the legendary proportion, "I still don't understand how it is possible for somebody to be either lucky, or full of dumb luck, to be able to meet pokemon like Lugia and Articuno that is beyond anybody. While as much as I hate to admit it out loud, but if you hadn't trashed my bike, I would have missed out on so many things, I wouldn't even have some of the pokemon I have now all because you were trying to save your pokemon."
Deciding she can't stand to be in the same room as the boy any longer without losing what's left of her self-control, So she stood up and said, "Ash, I'm not sure if you can hear me or not, but I want to thank you for everything, especially the things you are not aware, and I also want to apologize for all the times I chewed you out, even for things that you had no control over." She bent over and kissed him on the other cheek. A small blush started to appear when she started to leave.
When the door closed behind her, about a minute or two later, a pair of brown eyes started to open, "Is she gone yet?" The owner of the eyes asked, causing Pikachu's ears and tail to fly up in response.
Here is the latest chapter to the story. I know I kept saying that make Misty's and Brock's time a little longer, its just that I got more stories that need updating, and I'm anxious to lighten the load. I'll give this story two more chapters before I call it finish. Check out the poll that I've just put up. Read and Review.
