Chapter 21: Ashy-Boy's White Day Agenda

** Viridian City's Hospital – May's Room **

Gary held the door open for May's last visitor upon entering the room with a wheel chair. Once she had said her last good bye to May, she gave Gary a smile and told him that May was lucky to have a good caring brother. At that instant Gary knew she's just an acquaintance since she didn't have any knowledge of their rocky relationship. He just kept quiet and she finally left the room. Closing the door behind him, he looked straight at May; whom was sitting upright on the edge of her bed ready to leave.

"Alright, I got everything from your Get Well stuff to your personal stuff all packed in my car. You're lucky that I have a big trunk space." Gary said and wheeled the chair towards May.

May just gave Gary a big smile. "And that is why we also have the back seats silly."

Gary gave May a defiant stare. "That's with taking up all the space in the back seat already. I don't know why you're keeping all those stuff animals and plushies. You never cared for them since they take up so much room." Gary said, as he positions himself under May's right arm for support to help her off the bed.

With May's left arm in the long cast and left leg being in a cylinder cast, she managed to use and support herself with her right side using a crutch. But arguing beforehand of Gary getting a wheel chair, he had told her he wasn't going to let her use a crutch to walk out towards the car. He preferred her to save her strength then forcing herself to keep a steady balance. While May leaned on Gary's support, she let out a smile when she sat down in the wheel chair. "True little brother, but I actually donate them to the foster care for those kids who can't afford toys. I know it's rude of me giving away someone else's gift but like you said, I never cared for stuff animals and why throw something away when I know some little kid will appreciate it."

Double checking the room to make sure he has gotten everything, he propped open the door and finally started pushing May out of her room into the hallway. "So when did you start this? I remember before I left, you wouldn't even touch a plushy."

"I guess around thirteen or so, when I started being grandpa's assistant, as well a Pokémon Coordinator. That was when I started getting a lot of gifts in the mail, events and whatnot."

"But wait, when did you become a Pokémon Coordinator? I would have heard about it." Gary said, as he turned at the corner.

"Oh that's because I used my middle name instead. I went by Daisy Oak instead of May Oak," May looked around to see no one in slight the moment Gary had asked her 'why', as she looked up at Gary with a devious smile. "Let's just say it was a guilty pleasure double life that I and Magma Admin Courtney had when growing up. She also had a different alias name at the time too."

"You're friends with her?" Gary asked in a shocking tone at the fact finding out that his sister is friends with one of the Team Magma Admin.

May giggled only to have a sigh follow afterwards. "Gary inside voice please, we're still passing by resting patience's rooms. But F.Y.I. we use to be close friends. We ended up going our separate ways when we were seventeen. Even though we're on different path, as a token of our friendship, we've decided to look the other way and not to interfere with our life choosing. That double life was fun when it lasted. But thanks to both identities having fame attach to it, I couldn't escape all the fan mails and gifts you know? And I couldn't throw out anything either, so the next best thing was to give it away to the foster and orphanages."

"Oh I see." Gary became silent when waiting for the slow handicap door to open. He then heard May asked 'why the sudden quietness.' "—It's nothing. I was just thinking that we really live different lives."

The trip from the hospital entrance doors to Gary's car was silent between the two until Gary told her he's now assisting her into the passenger seat. Once he got May into her seat and buckled up, Gary folded up the wheel chair and placed it in the trunk. Curious at her little brother's action, she waited for him to get in the car in order to ask.

"Aren't you supposed to return the wheel chair? That's the hospital's so we can't take it with us."

"I bought it from them. It's for you when you're in the mansion and laboratory." Gary said, as he started up his car and slowly proceeds his way out of the parking lot.

May could help and giggle at Gary's impulsive gesture. "You're so silly Gary. We have lots of wheel chairs back at the lab. You really didn't need to buy one and besides I'm going to keep on practicing with my crutch."

Gary looked over at May. "It's not like I knew that in the first place."

"Well you never asked."

"Well whatever! The extra amount that I gave them for the wheel chair will help towards their donation they were doing anyways."

May smiled enthusiastically at Gary. "From the sounds of it, it seems like you and I for sure have charity in common."

"Don't think too much into May. I've really never cared about giving or donating anything towards others before. It was only until recently because of that damn Mickey keeps on getting on my case about how I should help, care, support, donate, blah-blah-blah towards others in need. Yak, yak, yak and how it's a great feeling in the end result." Gary said in irritated tone.

"And how does Gary feel?"

"ANNOYED." Gary said hotly because of the thought of Misty had popped up into their conversation.

"Annoyed at changing up your image of thinking about others or annoyed at Misty?" May asked in a sly tone.

Gary looked over at May with a hard stare. "What is that supposed to mean."

"Oh don't play dumb with me. Something had to go down. When I asked where Mickey was when you came in, you gave me a glare and told me not to worry about it. So spill it, what happened, why isn't she with us?"

"Since my big sis is such a know-at-all, I'm assuming she's a loud mouth too."

"Hey now, what is that supposed to mean?" May asked in a defensive mode.

"Did a certain person in the passenger seat mention to a certain raven haired and brunette losers about me taking Mickey to Aquarius Pools today?" Gary asked back.

May kept quiet, realizing she got busted. "Maaaybe? I didn't know it was supposed to be a secret. But why would it matter?" May noticed Gary's face was still stuck on the annoyed expression and then it clicked. "Something did happen! That's why you were in such a foul mood when you walked in without Misty. So asking for the second time today, are you going to tell your big sister what happened?"

While turning onto the street towards the exit out of Viridian City heading towards Pallet Town, Gary kept his eyes on the road. "No."

"Why nooot?" May whined in a playful tone.

"Because you're my big sister and I don't have to tell you everything, especially when it involves a girl. Besides it's the same for you too, you have never mentioned any guy's name of your liking." Gary said with a smirk when glance over at May.

May shook her head with a defeated sigh, since her little brother had turned the tables on her. "You're a pretty sly devil aren't you?"

"Tsh, not called the Devil Lone Wolf for nothing. Anyways changing subjects, I want to discuss something with you."

"Hehehe, I'm all ears and we'll see what your sister can do for you." May said with a big smile, but disappeared when she saw Gary's facial expression became serious.

** Meanwhile – Haze Park **

After making a quick stop at Ash's favorite express food market place getting the usual pork buns, drinks and other snacks, Ash and Misty stood at the edge of the pond of Ash's usual hidden park. Ash wasted no time taking a seat near the edge of pond first. While pulling out Pikachu's food off to his left side, he finally noticed out the corner of his eyes that Misty was still standing.

"Aren't you going to seat down?"

"Umm can we sit on a bench?"

"Why? I thought you would have love sitting here right in front of the pond. Just like Mickey." Ash said, as he caught Misty blinking a few times nervously.

"Well I do, but it's because I'm wearing white capri. My bottom side is going to get dirty real quick. And do you know how embarrassing that would be for me to walk around like that?"

Ash let a tiny 'tsk' escaped when he realized the nervousness from Misty was concerning her white capri. But he had to admit that it would be embarrassing for a girl or even a tomboy to walk around the city with a dirty bottom. He then took off his blue over shirt and placed it down next to him. "How's that? We don't have to look for a bench now."

Misty let out a smile. "That's very sweet of you Ash. You really didn't have to do that."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter, I would have gotten that shirt dirty one way or another. Well come on, sit down."

Misty moved the shirt closer to the edge, kicked off her sandals and took a seat on Ash's shirt; slipping her legs in the pond. Much like what Mickey would do every single time with Ash. Lost in her own world staring at the wild water Pokémons swimming, she didn't notice the intense stare coming from Ash.

"Maaan what a nice day to be out in this park! The water temperature is just right like always."

"So you've been to this park?"

"Oh shoot! Please don't be mad at Mickey, he has taken me to this park of yours a few times. Mickey told me it's a secret park of yours that not a lot of people know about. But this was the best place for peace and quiet for Mickey and me. I promise that I won't tell anyone about it."

"Heh, it's alright. I was just surprise to know that you knew. Mickey has never mentioned he has taken you here."

"Well it's not like Mickey has to tell you everything—" Misty quickly placed her hand over her month, but then let go of it when Ash stared at her. "Sorry that was a bit rude of me. I was trying to say is—"

"No you're right. He doesn't have to tell me everything. Besides I'm getting used to it because I've been getting that from him lately, ever since May's accident." Ash said casually, as he handed Misty a flavor drink and a water bottle.

"Thanks," Misty grabbed the drinks, realizing that she has lately been distant with Ash. "Hmm, so are bugged at the fact Mickey has been distant lately?" Misty asked.

"I guess? I do consider Mickey to be a very close friend. We hit it off pretty well, almost just like how Richie and I did," Ash pauses to take a drink from his bottled drink and stared straight ahead at the pond. "Mickey really hasn't been telling me a lot of things like before; I say it's all Gary's fault. Mickey's been at Gary's command and it has to do something that he has on Mickey. Something so big to the point he has him wrapped around his fingers. I kind of asked about it before but haven't given me a straight answer, so do you know Misty? Has Mickey told you anything?"

"Umm no, sorry, I don't. Mickey and are very close indeed but we do have our separate lives where we don't tell each other everything. Like I'm sure it's kind of the same way with you and Richie right? You guys are best friends but he didn't know that you've liked May forever."

"Touché. Then has Gary told you? Since you and Gary have been very close lately too, especially after kiss you gave him at the hospital."

Misty eyes widen at Ash. "You saw that? Ahh, that kiss meant nothing! It was just to shut him up during his freak out. Don't—"

"Why are you trying to explain yourself? It's not like I care who you kiss. Aren't you just like Gary when it comes to that stuff? What's his saying, a kiss is just a kiss right? Even if it was to calm him down—" Ash stopped when he saw the exact same angry expression on Misty's face that matches Mickey's.

"First off you weren't in my shoes at that moment of Gary's freak out. Second, not all kisses is just a kiss. That kiss with Gary was seriously nothing! The kiss that I gave you awhile back actually meant something to me. You know how nerve wrecking it is for a girl to make the first move on the guy she likes? Sure that forced kiss I did on you wasn't the best route, but after I ran off I was red as my hair and totally on cloud nine! So don't assume that I like Gary because I really like yo—" Misty got cut off by a pork bun shoved into her mouth. She then gave Ash a baffled stare but took a slow bite of the pork bun; that she's fond of, and calmed down.

In a depressing manner the corners of Ash's lips upwards a bit when he watched Misty enjoying her pork bun. "Heh—Just like Mickey, all quiet and calmed with a pork bun after going off about Gary," Ash then slowly looked over to his left to check on Pikachu. "You know, when it comes to Gary, you and Mickey go off about him about the same behavior manner. It's almost like you two are the same person." Ash said in a serious tone when he looked back at Misty.

Misty face stiffens when she just realized that 'Mickey' and 'Cousin Misty' behaviors have been closely the same when it did relate to Gary. She mentally cursed herself at the slip ups. Being quick on her feet, she realized something in most of Ash's conversation and just hoped it'll divert the subject to something else. "Ash, why are you obsessed with Gary?"

"What?" Ash asked caught off guard.

"Why are you so surprised of me asking that? I noticed that everything so far that we have been talking about Gary is involved. I know you guys are major rivals and can't stand each other. We both know that Gary will walk the extra miles to get away from you just to not deal with you. Just to let you know most of the times when I'm with Gary, you never come up in our conversations. So why is it different with you?"

Ash just gave Misty a blank stare as he wasn't sure how to answer himself. And it didn't help Misty's face was a few inches away from his.

"You really don't hate Gary do you? It's all a mask isn't Ash?"

"Don't assume you know me that well." Ash said in a harsh tone.

"Weeell sorry for assuming, but my last statement is close to being true huh? So why don't you just tell me? I'm all ears."

"I haven't told Mickey about it. So why should I tell you? We're not close at all."

"Well if you haven't noticed by now, I've been trying to get close to you! Why can't you see that?" Misty asked in a hurtful tone.

"Maybe it's because I can't trust you! Even though you claim to really like me, since day one when I saw you, you were with Gary and even then you've been by his side!" Ash shouted, which got Pikachu yelping in the background to calm down.

"Why am I being penalized for being Gary's friend? And what kind of reason is that for not trusting me? You can't be jealous of me because I'm with another guy is it?" Misty asked hastily but still at a lost.

"No it's not that I'm jealous of you being with other guys!"

"Than what is it? Why are you being such a jerk all of a sudden? If it wasn't for White Day, there must be another reason why you decided to take me out today." Misty said in a serious tone interrogating Ash for answers.

"Fine, you really want to know? It's not the fact that I can't trust you, as that was a cover up lie. The real reason is I am jealous of you being with Gary. Not the same content of you being with another guy. It's because these past couple years I've been trying to get close and make it up to Gary so we could be friends again. But everything I try to say or do, I get the cold shoulders. But there was one thing that kept us connected, being bitter rivals. I guess I was fine with that but then all of a sudden you and Mickey came along and within weeks you two were able to make some changes in Gary. You two may not notice it but he's taken a liking to the both you. And as for the main reason for taking you out today is because of how Gary was playing with my emotions of not letting me see May. So I decided to return the favor. I decided to take you away from him today. There are you satisfied?"

Misty was left speechless at what she just absorbed in from Ash. Not really taking either sides of Ash's or Gary's; she knew both had their reasoning's, her mind was blank. Not sure what to say to Ash's confession but her body made the move for her. Pulling her legs out from the pond and slipping on her sandals, Misty slowly got up onto her feet. Ash looked up towards Misty who had her head bowed.

"Sorry Ash I—umm, uhh, I'm not taking sides and not sure what to say right now but I need to find Gary. I have to apologize for miscommunication argument we had earlier." Misty returned to a normal upright position from her bow, as she quickly turned around to head out of the park.

Ash got onto his feet and stared at Misty being all disorientated with her walk and searching for what he assumes her cell phone to call Gary. 'That is such a Mickey's move. Misty and Mickey really couldn't be the same person right?' Ash asked to himself uncertain, as he took in a deep breath. "Mickey!"

Misty mistakenly turned around with her cell in hand to her ears as she answered back with a questionable 'yeah'. Her eyes widen at her mistake when she saw Ash's shocker expression. "—I uhh mean, how did you know he's on the line? Did you want to talk to him? Well you're going to have to wait! I got to ask Mickey if he knows where Gary's at!" Misty shouted back out loud towards Ash. Hoping that she can play it off pretending Mickey was on the other line; while in truth she's trying to get through Gary's cell.

Before Ash could reply back to Misty's skeptical reply, Misty had run off yelling in her cell something along the line 'do you know where Gary's at'. Ash looked over at Pikachu; who jumped onto his right shoulder. "You sense something too huh Pikachu?"

"Pikaaaa." Pikachu nodded his head in agreement, as he watched his master packing up their food.

"I guess we'll just wait until all of us are back at the dormitory to talk to Mickey."

** 15 Minutes Later at Lil' Pandas' **

After had ran the whole way from Haze Park to Lil' Pandas', Misty was out of breath and energy but still pushed herself through the crowd café lounge to find Lili. About to head up towards the bakery stand that she and Lili and a few other co-workers we're stationed at, someone from behind had grabbed a hold of her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction. Being pulled through the crowd, Misty was trying to figure out who the guy was. Wearing a beanie with what looks like a vest from behind over a blue long sleeve shirt with matching blue pants; with loose black spenders at both legs, she still didn't have a clue. While getting more upset at the person for not answering her questions of 'whom' and 'why' she's being dragged by him, Misty gather her strength and yanked her hand away.

"Who the hell are you asshole?" Misty shouted and luckily they were in a more secluded area away from the crowd.

"Man for a hot chick, I wouldn't have expect you to have the same foul mouth just like your cousin." Richie said turning around with a smile when he saw Misty's surprised face. "I guess that's why Gary calls you a Tomboy huh?"

"Richie? Wow, I didn't recognize you! You're wearing a beanie and dressed in blue?"

"Yeah, yeah I know it's different, but J-Babe wanted to play dress up when we went shopping and I couldn't say no to her when she picked out this outfit. Anyways if you're looking for Gary, he isn't here."

"How did you know that I was looking for Gary?"

"Ash called me a bit ago and told me to look out for you after you had bailed on him from a heated conversion about Gary. Man, I got to say you, Ash and Mickey are all alike. Even though you three say you don't care what Gary does and whatnot, you guys' always seem to go out your way for him."

"Are you saying that as a bad thing?" Misty asked in a defensive tone towards Richie, who's raised his hands in defense.

"Nooo, I didn't say or mean it like that! I was trying to say is maybe you guys' can be a bit more honest. I've notice that you guys' put up a mask of not caring for Gary in front of him. But in the end you guys actually do care and get involved with his business. And the interesting thing is that lately he's been putting up with it." Richie said with a smirk.

"Well I've notice he's been putting up with you too." Misty replied back with a smirk of her own.

"Hah, to a certain point. I can't get away with everything I say or do like you guys. I know my limits with him before I get a punch or beating. And his punches hurt like hell, especially to the face."

"Heh, I can second that. It does hurt like a bitch." Misty accidently said out loud in a smart aleck tone.

Richie raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that? There's no way you know the feeling. I know Gary's the type who would never strike a girl. I saw him flipped out on a classmate for slapping his girlfriend at last year's academy fundraiser auction. Seriously the only way you'll know and feel Gary's fist is only if you were actually Mickeeey—" Richie couldn't help but to drag out 'Mickey' when the idea of Mickey and Misty could possibly the same person. About to ask where Mickey was at, he was suddenly pulled away from Misty.

"—Hi Misty! Sorry for stealing Richie from your conversation, but since Lili and I got into a deep conversation, Richie and I are now running short on time to catch our movie on time. So I'll see you later when you work again, byebye!" Jordan said with a smile, as she pulled Richie away.

"See ya Misty, good luck on finding Gary!" Richie shouted before disappearing with J-Babe in the crowd.

Misty mouth 'thanks' to herself, as she decided to head back to Lili's and Lonnie's office to see if that's where her bosses where at. She knocked on the door and entered in when she heard 'come in.'

"Misty? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be out on the road to Pallet Town right now?" Lili asked, from her desk while passing some papers to Lonnie.

"Pallet Town? Wait a minute, is that's where Gary's at?"

"Well durr, he didn't tell you? That was one of the reasons why I gave you the day off. Because he's taking his sister back home and he wanted you to go with him—Wait, what do you mean is that's where he's at?"

"Umm long story make short, after the pool, Gary and I spilt up. I went off with Ash because he asked me to hang out for the first time as Cousin Misty. Gaaah, I can't believe it! Blaaah and he isn't answering his phone either, but since I know he's in Pallet Town I guess I shouldn't worry huh?"

"Yeah you don't need to worry, he mention that he's returning back tonight." Lonnie commented out loud.

"Thanks. Umm well since the whole day is shot, after bailing out on Gary and Ash, I can work until late tonight since it's pretty busy. But thanks for giving me the day off in the first place though."

"Oh it's not a problem and that would be awesome of you if you could help out! With your speed and baking skills we'll be able to get more treats made and sold."

** Later on that Night – Dorm Room #320 **

The moment Misty entered the room; she tossed all her belongings but her cell phone, onto her bed and called Gary's number for the tenth time since she got off work. While pacing back and forth in the room, cursing over her cell how Gary needs to pick up his phone, she didn't realize Gary had actually answered his cell.

"—You're lucky I'm not there in person to hit you hard with a pillow for cursing at me." Gary said in an annoyed tone over his cell.

"GARY! Do you know how long I've been trying to get a hold of you? Also it's almost midnight, the gates are going to be locked up, so why you aren't home yet?"

"I am home." Gary bluntly stated.

Misty with a ray of hope of believing that statement; because she wanted to apologize and give him the apology treat she personally made in person, as she quickly opened her door. And with the seconds ticking by, she saw nobody down the hallway and realized she got played when she closed the door. "Agggh, not that home in Pallet, I mean our dormitory home!"

"Oh yeah about that, I'm not coming back."

"What? Lonnie and Lili said that you were planning to return back tonight!"

"Well I guess not, something came up. See ya." Gary said with a smirk, as he disconnected the call with Misty and turned off his phone.

Misty on the other hand, just stared at the blinking disconnected call and quickly called Gary again. But this time she got his voice mail right away. She then cursed Gary once again for turning his cell phone off. But something clicked in her head that got her worried and made her run down towards Ash's and Richie's room. Once she got there, she knocked madly on the door until it was finally opened.

"Holy crap who—Mickey? What's wrong?" Richie asked in a sleepy tone.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were asleep and aren't you usually up until one or two in the morning?"

"Yeah, but today has been an adventuring but exhausting day. Anyways what's with the sudden banging at the door?"

"Can I come inside? I have to ask a favor from both you and Ash."

Richie opened the door a bit wider to let Mickey in. "Yeah sure. But you're the one who's going to wake up Ash—Nevermind, he's up."

"What's this favor you need from us Mickey?" Ash asked in a groggy tone from the edge of his bed.

"I need you two or one of you, to take me to Pallet Town tomorrow morning." Misty said in a serious tone.

"Why Pallet Town all of a sudden?" Ash asked all confusingly at Mickey.

"Misty asked me to call Gary for her and I just got a hold of him like five minutes ago and he just flat out told me he's not coming back to the dorm room. Because something came up and he's now not returning and then he just hung up on me." Misty said with a worried expression, which Ash and Richie could clearly see. "I'm sorry if either of you two had plans for tomorrow but I would really like you two to come if possible."

Richie all of a sudden got up close to Mickey's face to check something out, as he then backed away. "Are you sure he's not going to be back tomorrow?"

"I don't know? But what if he doesn't? Seriously after he hung up on me, he turned off his cell and he usually doesn't do that unless he's pissed. Ahhh it's my fault."

Ash cocked an eyebrow at Mickey. "Your fault? Wouldn't it be more Misty's fault? If I recall correctly you were with your other cousins today while Misty was the one hanging out with Gary until I showed up and there happened to be a miscommunication. So why is it you who's the one going to try to get Gary back?"

"Ummm right. But—it's because, uhhh, geez! I just want Misty and Gary to make up!"

Ash could tell Mickey became skeptical when he brought up 'Misty', as he finally went up to Mickey to give him an ultimatum that will help him confirm his suspicious about Mickey and Misty. "How about this, since its Misty's fault but you want the two to make up, I'll only take you to Pallet Town if Misty comes with us in the morning."

"Whaaa? Misty too?" Misty asked nervously.

"Yeah, the two can't make up if it's only Gary. Besides it's better to have both parties to be there in present. So it's a take it or leave it deal." Ash said in a serious tone.

Richie gave Mickey a pathetic smile when Mickey gave him a pleading look. "Sorry Mickey, that puppy eyes aren't going to convince me to take you. I'm with Ash on this. Besides I really want to see how you and Misty are together, since you've mention awhile back that you two acted like a couple of B.F.F. girlfriends."

Misty puffed her cheeks in frustration, as she slowly headed towards the door. But before walking out, Misty turned her head to give Ash and Richie a serious expression. "Whatever, I'll go by myself. It can't be hard to find Gary in Pallet Town. But if you two decide to come and help, I'll be in front of Lil' Pandas' at seven in the morning. So good night."

Ash and Richie didn't get a chance to reply back to Mickey, since he had quickly shut the door on them, as the two then looked at each other.

"Thanks for backing me up. I'm assuming you've noticed too huh?" Ash asked Richie.

"The fact the two are never together at the same time for the last some months, yeah. And something tiny that I just noticed made it more suspicious."

"Also refusing my help because of the ultimatum doesn't help the suspicion either. But I have my benefit of a doubt of Mickey too though."

"Why you say that?" Richie asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The two may look and act the same, but just like actual twins they are not always the same."

"Very true statement right there, so then what should we do?"

"Well do you want to meet up with Mickey tomorrow? We can try to get more answers out of him? And I'm also curious if Gary's serious about not coming back. Because if he, then he owes me a one on one battle if he's going to miss out on our last Academy's Tournament."

When Richie turned off the bedroom lights, a smirk grew on his face since he knew his best friend was actually concerned about Gary's behavior. "But of course. I want to see the look on Gary's face when he sees us in Pallet tomorrow. Also there's something I want to ask him about Mickey."

"Same here." Ash agreed, as he and Richie headed off towards their beds.
