Okay, this is the first chapter of a pair or trio of chapters, not sure yet on how far I can stretch the story. These chapters will be focusing on Misty, with Luchia and Sabrina having big roles, especially towards the end of the arc.


Misty sat melancholy on her bed in her's and Luchia's shared room. The phone call she had received wasn't something she expected to ever happen. Her oldest sister, Daisy, was calling about Azurill and how they didn't want to deal with a Pokemon that couldn't do water ballet and such. 'Poor Azurill...my sisters' probably don't even know that she's a baby Pokemon that needs friendship to evolve...'

She sobbed a bit, trying to hold back the fact that she was dealing with Azurill's practically being abandoned and dealing with what looked like her girlfriend leaving her for Sabrina. The door opened to reveal Luchia and Sylveon, the former carrying a poke ball in her hand and a bag slung over her shoulder. She sighed and sat down on the bed, Sylveon at her feet. She looked at her girlfriend and said gently. ''Um, Misty...if your still upset over what I said before...I'm sorry.''

Misty shook her head, knowing that Luchia would say that. ''It's not to do with you...'' She lied a little, however, as part of her frustration and sadness was combined with her jealous feelings. ''I-I got a phone call from my s-sister...''

Luchia's eyes widened. ''Your sister? I thought you wanted nothing to do with them anymore, after the way they tormented you.''

''Well...yeah, b-but...you see, after you and me had our little chat after Lucario evolved from Riolu...I was reminded of a Pokemon that I had 2 years ago, my beloved little Azurill...'' She looked at her girlfriend's shocked face. ''She technically was my very first Pokemon, as I hatched her before I obtained my Starmie...but I left her at the Cerulean Gym when I left...because I thought that the outside world was no place for a baby...''

''Oh...'' whispered Luchia, unsure of what to do. She stood up and managed to build up the confidence to hug Misty in a comforting manner. She gently stroked the red head's hair, whispering. ''We'll go get her back...that's what your sister called you to do, isn't it?'' She gently pulled Misty into her, as the girl began to cry in a length of desperation.

''B-but I never should have left her...you never leave your babies...so I shouldn't have left her either...'' She whimpered. ''She was my responsibility and yet I let her down by abandoning her to my sisters, who don't even care!'' Her yell surprised Luchia, but the ginger managed to stay calm and stroke Misty's hair, trying to calm the red head down. ''I shouldn't have...I was just concerned that she would get hurt in the wild...an adventure is no place for a baby Pokemon. That was what I always thought, but when I saw your Sylveon as a baby Eevee, I knew something wasn't right when my thoughts...''

''I can understand why your upset...'' Luchia sat down next to her girlfriend. ''Let just go get her back, and I'll translate her for you so you can talk to her..so you can see her opinion on this. Then you'll see that she'll agree that you did your best. You did what you thought was right.'' The ginger haired girl smiled to herself. ''Besides, I've done things I regret...you might not be angry, but I regret what I said to you about your tastes in Pokemon and how you didn't like evolving Pokemon...I didn't mean the implications...''

''Thanks for helping me, Lucie...'' Misty managed to bring a smile to her face. ''O-okay, lets go to Cerulean and get my baby Azurill back...'' She hugged Luchia, placing her face into the ginger's neck, closing her soft sea blue eyes as she whispered a single line, that brought a happy smile to Luchia's face. ''I'm so glad your my girlfriend...''

''Me too...I love you.''

The short, sweet little line made Misty smile as she simply continued to hug Luchia. But a persistent thought was still invading her mind. 'But if she loves me then why would she seem so interest in Sabrina...always blushing and even calling her cute when she combined back with Kokoro! I shouldn't feel jealous of them, they're just friends, right, so why do I feel like this? Luchia not one for betraying one she loves...maybe she just considers Kokoro, a child, cute and not so much Sabrina...That would be understandable...ARGH, why am I so untrusting of her!'

''Mist, you okay? You seem to be almost at war with yourself, your expression keeps changing rapidly.'' Luchia said, concerned for her girlfriend. 'Is she okay?'

''I'm...fine...'' Came the lying reply. ''I'll be perfectly fine when we get Azurill tomorrow...''

''If your sure...''


The night passed by with little words between the two after that. The morning came quite quickly, much to the relief of Misty as she felt that she couldn't keep her jealousy contained for much longer. Once downstairs, the group recombined and it was revealed that Sabrina was gonna join them on a journey to improve herself, and leave her gym to her father. So Ash decided to state the plan. ''Luchia, I heard what you have to say about Misty's Azurill. You, Misty and Sabrina will head back to Cerulean City so we don't cause a big scene when we arrive. Just be careful about Mikachu. And we'll wait back here for you and train our teams, me and Cynthia want to get our team up to a decent anyway.''

''Thank you, Ash.'' said Luchia with a smile, as she turned to her girlfriend and the psychic trainer. ''You heard what she said. We're heading back to Cerulean to get Misty's baby Pokemon. It shouldn't take us long.''

''Mika!'' cried her Mikachu with a nod, from the girl's lap. Luchia smiled in agreement as she passed a small piece of Pokemon food to the unique Pokemon, as she continued to try and find out more about the electric/psychic type.

'Being only one of two psychic/electric dual types, it must be hard to know what they are weak and strong against. Ground is a obvious weakness to electric, but psychic contains a weakness to dark, bug and ghost. But we resist fighting, flying, steel, electric and psychic. A lot of really good things to resist and we lose a load of Pikachu's neutral weaknesses.'

Sabrina nodded in understanding. ''Okay, I'll come. Me and Raichu can handle any potential issues from Misty's sisters. Though, they aren't the best water trainers in the world. From what I've heard, many trainers have just been given a gym badge for simply turning up. It's quite a hassle and the League is on the verge of shutting the gym down and opening a ghost-type one in Lavender Town.''

Misty sighed, knowing that this was the case. ''They've always been like that...before I left, I was the only one who bothered fighting people and if I wasn't there, they would just hand out the badge...'The cascade badge is meant to be won, not given.' I remember repeating constantly, but apparently they don't listen to me. Plus, they don't care much about their own Pokemon and have almost turned my gym into a water ballet show hall. It's embarrassing...'' She sighed once more. ''I thought that maybe me leaving would cause them to wake up, but it appears that was not the case.''

''Clearly, we need to get them to realize that battling is what a gym leader is meant to do!'' said Luchia, determination in her voice. ''Okay, our goals. Get back Azurill and teach your sister how to be true gym leaders.''

Misty smiled. ''Thank you, Lucie...your a big help...''


Hope you enjoyed this. Misty gonna be going back to Cerulean to reunite with Azurill and see her sisters.
