"PikachuPiii!"
Misty saw a Yellow mouse, which jumped from Alex's bag pack.
"Pika…chu… Pi" Misty repeated as the mouse landed in her arms. The mouse nuzzled her and started blabbering something in Pikachu Talk. That was not the point.
"Pikachu Pi" she repeated again, she saw the trainer who stood in front of her. He was kind of disappointed. It was like; he didn't want her to meet this Pikachu. Her eyes widened, she looked at the Pikachu in her arms, which was nuzzling and crying.
"Pikachu Pi Pika Pi Pikachu Pika Pika Chaaa"
"Pikachu Pi" Misty repeated again.
Ash, who was seeing the drama which was about to unfolded in front of him Faceplamed really annoyed.
"She lost it" he murmured.
"Only Ash's Pikachu calls me that" Realization struck her.
"Pikachu is that you?" Misty asked with tear filled eyes.
"PikaaaPikachu!" the mouse nodded.
"Oh Pikachu" Misty started to sob. She picked the mouse up and gave it a hug. She knew Pikachu would shock her if she tightened her grasp.
"What's wrong Misty?" a voice from behind Ash called out.
Ash turned around searching the owner of the voice. He located a teenager, probably fourteen or fifteen. He had long Oxford Blue hair, it wasn't very long. He wore a Blue T-Shirt and black shorts. He wore square black glasses and had brown eyes. Ash realised that he knew the teenager.
"Couldn't this get any worse?" Ash muttered stroking his temples.
The boy in question ran past Ash, giving him an angry expression. He went towards Misty, who was hugging a Pikachu weeping and to his surprise that Pikachu was also hugging her back and crying.
"PikaPi Pikachu Pi Pika Pikachu Pika Pikaaaa"
Well Arceus knows what the mouse said. Max had no idea what's happening. Confused, he turned around and gave a questioning look towards Ash, who sighed.
Max realised what was wrong.
"Cut it out Misty! That's Not Ash's Pikachu!" Max tried to pull the mouse away from Misty, but eventually failed. Misty had gripped Pikachu very hard.
'In a matter of minutes, I'll be beaten like a pulp by her, now I'm regretting coming here' he thought as he glanced nervously at Misty and his partner Pikachu.
"Pikachu Pi! Pikachu Pi" Pikachu gained Misty's attention.
"What… Pika…chu?" She asked still weeping.
The mouse pointed its paws towards Ash (Alex for Misty) and spoke something which shocked the life out of her.
"Pika Pi"
"Pika…Pi?" She repeated the words of the mouse. She travelled with Ash for a long time; she knew that phrase which Pikachu told her.
"This is Ash?" She questioned the mouse, while the Mouse nodded and accepted that she was correct, Max on the other hand had turned white for some reason.
"UHHHHH!" he jumped away from them and landed on his back. He had a horrified expression on his face.
Ash sighed; he knew where this was going.
Misty never believed in ghosts. She never agreed with anyone on supernatural existence, until now. She held Pikachu in her hand and lifted the mouse up. The Yellow mouse looked confused as to what Misty was doing.
"Y-You're the ghost of Ash and Pikachu Right? You've come to visit me after Three and a half years" she started to cry. She knew it was too good to be true. Her friends were spirits, wandering the land with nowhere to go and nowhere to call as home.
"OH ARCUES! NOT YOU TOO!" Ash spoke loudly in annoyance. Max still with a horrified expression saw Ash and Misty. He hated ghosts! He didn't bring his Psychic type Pokémon with him today! What a grievous mistake!
All his expression became normal when he saw the Pikachu.
"You are too real for a ghost eh? You have real fur! I think that's how ghosts feel…" Misty spoke as she examined Pikachu.
Ash saw a really pissed of Pikachu in Misty's arms and so he ran for cover. He knew what was next.
"PIIKKKKAAAAA CCCCHHHHUUUUUU!"
The whole GYM was covered with Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
"Uhhhhhnoooooooo"
"Ahhhhhhuuuhhhh"
Misty and Max both shouted in pain as the flow of electricity through their body intensified.
Ash was watching this from a safe distance.
"Good thing I escaped" he spoke to himself.
The thunderbolt died down. Both Misty and Max were covered in soot.
"M…ma...n T-this Pika-Pikachu ghost Thunderbolt is r-really powerful… I'm impressed" Max spoke still recovering from the shock.
A vain popped on Pikachu's head.
"Pikachu pika! Pika Pikachu!"
"He did it" Ash murmured and took cover behind the wall.
"PikaaaaChuuuuu"
"OkOk We BELIIEEEVEEE YOOOUUU!" both shouted. The thunderbolt died down.
Pikachu had crossed his paw, still angry with both of them.
"So… You believe him eh?" Ash spoke smiling widely.
"I-Is it r-really y-y-you A-Ash?" she spoke as emotion took her over.
"Yes Mist" Ash nodded.
'Mist' all the memories of her past flooded her. She was overwhelmed by all of her past experiences.
'Mist' nobody knew the nickname except for Ash, He was the only one who called her like that. Even Brock didn't know about that name… Although he has heard Ash use it several times he didn't bother to use it.
Based on previous experiences of his former companion and his Mother. Ash though that Misty would run upto him and give him a hug. He spread his arms open expecting that. But how wrong was he! Misty came running, just like he thought she would. But instead of hugging, she pulled out a mallet from Arceus knows where!
"ASH KETCHUM YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!" she yelled angrily as she ran towards Ash. Ash sensing the danger dodged her first attack. But Misty, being Misty was too stubborn to back off.
She continuously attacked Ash from all angles, but Ash somehow managed to dodge each of her attacks.
"Calm down Misty! I can explain!" he muttered dodging a Mallet uppercut attack by the red haired girl.
Misty turned Red in anger. She almost looked like a Lance's Red Gyarados!
She turned towards Max. The poor boy in question yelped her gaze.
"Don't just stand there! Help me you idiot!"
"B-But M-Misty! A-Ash is back from s-so long time!"
THUD!
"OUCH! OKAY! I'LL HELP!"
The hit on Max's head triggered his brain and quickly cooked up an idea to catch Ash.
"Pikachuuu a little help herreee" he evilly triggered the anger mouse.
"PikaPi Pikachu!"
"NO! PIKAAAACHHHHUUUUU" Ash yelled as the thunder bolt struck him in an instant.
THUD!
BANG!
POW!
SLAP!
SLAP!
POW!
Breathing heavily, with the weapon of murder in her hand, she looked at Max and Pikachu, who under her fears gaze hugged each other in fear.
"S-She killed him? Eh Pikachu"
"Pika Pika"
Misty, breathing heavily ran towards the GYM door with tears flying from her cerulean eyes.
BANG!
With the door shut, Max ran towards Ash.
"ASH! ASH! WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP!" Max shouted in worry as Ash slowly opened his eyes.
He managed to sit, when Max hugged him and started to weep.
"ASH! How could you leave me!" he shouted, still crying and hugging his idol.
"Why! Why did you leave me! You promised for a battle right!" Max started to cry on Ash's shirt. Moved by this, Ash hugged the youngster with tear filled eyes.
He somehow could find his voice to calm him down.
"I'm b-back Right? S-so let's have our b-battle soon, Okay?" With a trembling voice, Ash comforted the Boy.
"Promise?"
"Promise"
"Pika Pi" the mouse licked his cheeks sadly; ashamed of what he did to his partner.
"That's Okay Pikachu… I probably needed that"
"But Ash" Max interrupted "Your face… and your head"
"My face and my head? What about them?"
Max pulled out his phone and turned the front camera on. He gave him the phone "See for Yourself"
"See wha… Oh… MAN!"
Misty had damaged him really bad. Apart from the torn clothes, the damage to his face was pretty bad!
There were handprints on either side of his cheeks. There were blue circles around his right eye, and a really swollen forehead.
***Five Minutes Later***
Misty who was still crying, bought a First Aid Kit. Ash was sitting with Max in one of the pavilion seat of the GYM. Misty looked at Ash with tearful eyes. Ash stood up, trying to explain his situation to her. But Ash was instead pulled into a big hug. Her head on his chest she started to weep like never before. Max always saw Misty as one of the strongest women, but seeing her cry like this literally shocked him.
Ash hugged her back tightly.
"Why Ash! Why did you pretend to be someone else? Why didn't you contact me and tell me your alive!?"
"I'll explain everything Misty" he said still hugging her.
Misty then realised something else, a small detail.
She was hugging Ash Ketchum, her crush and he was hugging her back! The thought heated her face up and turned red as a Charmeleon!
She broke the hug. Still blushing from the contact, made him sit down in one of the seats and started to apply ointment around his eyes. After that, she picked a bandage roll and wrapped it around his head and forehead.
"I'm sorry Ash… I c-couldn't control myself I…"
He put a figure on her lips.
"It's Okay Misty, I was expecting must worst things" he bought his voice down for the last part.
Ash's Pocket started to vibrate; he fished his phone from his pocket. Max was completely amused looking at the Phone.
The screen displayed as "Mom"
He answered the call and his mother Delia Ketchum came onto the screen.
"Hey Ash honey! How was the battl- WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPNED TO YOU!" she yelled in shock.
"Misty happened" Ash said coldly.
"WHAT! That girl and her anger issue! Get me Misty!"
Ash turned towards Misty "Mom" he said giving her his phone.
"Misty! What did you do to Ash!" she said in an angry expression.
"I'm sorry Mrs Ketchum" Misty sadly replied.
"Are you mediating like I asked you too?"
"Yes"
"Then what's wrong? Is there something else bothering you now?"
Misty blushed and replied "No"
"Then why were you so angry? See you've beaten up the poor kid!"
"Hey I'm not a kid anymore" Ash clamed, which went unnoticed.
"Okay then! You both solve the problem between yourself! I'll call later and hey Max! It's good to see you doing well!"
Max nodded and smiled. Misty pressed on the red button and sighed.
"Why don't we take rest Misty?" Ash suggested. Misty nodded. She really needed rest from all the drama!
She showed them their rooms and finally reached her room and crashed on her bed.
***Few Hours Later***
Misty slowly opened her eyes, she turn and looked at her wall clock. She couldn't believe the time, thus she checked her smartphone.
19.47 It read.
She stretched and got out of her bed. Fixing her Red hair, she unlocked her door to check on Ash and Max. She was shocked that she fell asleep all afternoon and nether Ash or Max bothered to wake her up.
But there was another big question in her head, was it a dream? If not, will Ash be at the GYM?
She stopped abruptly at the kitchen when she smelled food.
She rushed in the kitchen and was stunned.
Pikachu was eating a large bottle of ketchup! But that didn't bother her at all, what bothered her was that she saw Ash, still bandaged wearing her Pink apron and juggling the rice in the pan.
From the aroma, she figured out it was fried rice! She searched for Max and found him sitting on the dining table staring at Ash, with sparkle in his eyes.
"Ash! What are you doing?" she questioned the raven haired trainer, who simply replied "What else? I'm cooking"
"Take a seat, I've prepared some stew and some fried rice"
Misty nodded and sat next to Max and a Pikachu, who was busy eating Ketchup.
He skilfully dished out the rice in three plates and also poured the hot stew in three bowls.
"OH WOW! This is good!" Max yelled tasting the rice and the stew "Better than Misty's though" he spoke the last part and realised his mistake. He turned towards Misty, who was busy eating and probably never heard what he spoke or his declaration about cooking.
"Thanks Max" Ash thanked and started to eat at his usual pace.
"So Ash… Are you going out with someone?" Misty innocently asked. Max's mouth fell open.
"Well No today I'll stay in Cerulean City" Ash replied stuffing his face.
Max and Misty Faceplamed.
"That was not what she meant" Max spoke under his breath.
"Still dense as ever" Misty spoke worriedly.
"What?" Ash questioned.
"Nothing… Anyways, mind explaining where you were all these days" Misty glared at the raven haired teen who shrugged it away.
"Should I have to repeat again?"
"Yes, we have all the time"
Ash told Misty everything about the Plane crash, the island, Taking Slowking, Lance's request and all the stuff. He even told how he Met Brock and Clemont, but didn't reveal his identity to them.
"Really Ash! You should have told them!" Misty exclaimed.
"Oh yea you wanted me to tell them that 'Hey guys! I'm Ash! Your friend who died in a plane crash three years ago and guess what! I'm back from dead! Isn't that great!" he angrily replied.
"He has a point Misty" Max pointed out.
"I have no idea what they would do to me! Look what you've done, Man! Serena would be worried!" he exclaimed.
"Serena!?" exclaimed Misty while Max laughed evilly.
"Yea, she'll call me tonight" he spoke frustrated.
"So, you both are, ehh" Misty eyed his suspiciously.
"Eh! W-Well You see I kinda like her" he said blushing.
Max Faceplamed again "That was what she asked in the beginning" he spoke under his breath.
"Hey Max, Let's go to the Pokémon centre" Ash stood up trying to avoid the awkward conversation. He grabbed the bottle of ketchup Pikachu's Paw. Pikachu tried to protest, but Ash glared. His glare was actually scary. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu didn't protest like how he used to when they were travelling with him.
"Wait Ash…" Before she could complete her sentence, Ash told her that she had a challenger waiting for her past an hour.
"Ok then, here is your Cascade Badge Ash"
"Thanks Misty" He put it in his badge box and didn't say a thing, not even a victory pose! This amused both Max and Misty.
At least he acts like a grown up now…
Ash and Max left as Misty started the battle, before she started the battle, she stomped near her referee. Glaring at him she angrily warned him "A word outside and you're dead"
"Yes Mam… I mean No mam"
Ash and Max reached the Pokémon centre; they gave their Pokéballs to Nurse Joy and sat in the waiting room and they started to talk about random battle techniques.
"So Max, Won't you introduce me you're new friend?" A voice from behind asked him.
Max turned around to check who's voice was it.
He panicked when he saw his eldest friend Brock standing behind him, giving him and Ash a suspicious look.
"Oh-uh Hey Brock! Uh sure" Max paused for a moment.
"This is my friend Alf!" he exclaimed.
