"That's where I'm going to totally kick ass and beat you." Misty taunts.
"You? Winning? Against me? I'd totally pay to see that." Ash rolls his eyes. Misty had just picked Ash up and they are on their way to the pool hall. Brock is waiting there for them, they're late because of course Ash decides to sleep in.
"So what if I do win?" Misty tests.
"Why ask if you're not going to? You're not even that good." Ash grins. "HEY! I'm just as good as you, and most likely even better!" Misty flicked him.
"No, I am!" Ash argues. "I am!" Misty yelled. "Hey, hey!" May and Max walks toward them. "May? Max?" Ash turns. "Tell Ash to stop being an insensitive overconfident worm." Misty glares at him. "Ash, stop being what Misty just said about you." May says blankly. "Do you guys always fight?" Max questions.
"Hurry up, Brock called me and said you guys are going to be late." May acknowledged them.
Ash, May, Max, and Misty all headed to the competition.
"There you guys are." Brock walked up to them. "Hey Brock!" Ash greets him. "Are you ready to win?" Max asked Misty. "Yes." Misty smirks at Ash.
"Oh you just wait." Ash glared. "I'll be rooting for both of you anyways." Brock chuckles.
"Ash, let's not be immature about this. I really wish you luck." Misty confidentially extends her arm. Ash nods and shakes her hand. "I hope you do well too." Ash wishes her luck.
"Brock, May, and I are going to sit down. We'll be watching you!" Max leads the way. They all waved to wish the two luck.
"Hello!" Daisy yelled through the microphone.
"Daisy!" Brock started drooling. "Hey Brock, ease down on the drool, will ya?" Max snaps.
"Welcome to the next two's competition. It's time for Misty and Ash to compete in our swimming tournament. Hosted by yours truly, me and my sisters!" Lily winks.
"Why are they not mine?" Brock still drooled. "Brock, I'm sorry but you need to cut the drool." May irks.
"One the count of three, the swimmers will begin!" Violet states.
Ash and Misty stood on the edge of the pool and nods to each other.
"1...2...3 GO!" Daisy, Lily, and Violet said together.
"Oh? Ash takes a lead!" Lily says.
"Wow, Misty's always been the swimmer and Ash is already beating her!" May observes.
Ash turns to Misty making sure she wouldn't catch up. She wasn't too far behind. She looked like she was pushing ahead. Ash quickly peddled his feet as fast as he could.
Misty turns to the other side of him and pedals faster to beat him.
"Misty is trying to get to Ash!" Violet announces.
Ash knew this wasn't good. He then started to spin like a torpedo to get way ahead of Misty. It was working. "I don't know how Misty's going to catch up!" Daisy gasps.
Misty glares at Ash and tries to pedal faster. She didn't want to loose her specialty after all.
"Looks like Misty is going to need to try harder!" Lilly announces.
"Ash is going really fast!" Daisy observed.
Ash was almost at the finish line to win. He couldn't wait. "Ash is almost going to win! Yay! But, I don't want Misty to lose...but I don't want Ash to loose, but I don't want..UGH." May quickly confused herself.
"Just don't root for anyone." Max sighs. "You're right little brother!" May smiles. "Don't acknowledge me as your little brother." Max rolls his eyes.
Misty bulges her eyes. She couldn't win. This time she decided to go hard. Yup, she saved her energy from the beginning so she could win with ease at the end without being tired. Ash is tired by now.
Ash peddled slowly to the finish line. Misty caught up to him and her fingertips touched the finish line first.
"Misty's the winner!" Lilly squealed.
Ash and Misty went out of the pool.
"She beat me..." Ash trails off. "Yes I won!" Misty boasted.
"Well...good job Misty!" Ash smiles accepting his loss. "Thanks Ash, you weren't so bad yourself." Misty nods. "I know." He laughs.
"Misty, great job!" Max shakes her hand. "You were going hard, Ash!" Brock chuckles. "You both did really good." May waves.
"The next match is tomorrow. You should win with ease." Brock says to Misty.
"I hope so!" Misty shakes.
Later that day, Misty's friends and family surrounded her with comments of adulation, especially her sisters who were really proud of her. "Misty! You did great!" Tracey walked in.
"Thanks Trace." Misty nods
"Tracey! Hi!" Ash peered over to him. "Oh, it's you again! Hi there." Tracey nods.
"I guess, I'll be going." Ash says watching over the time.
"Try not to sleep in again, I'll be over by 8." Misty nods
"Ash wake up!" Misty yells. "Wha? What time is it?!" Ash got up from his bed. "Time to get up, I'll be outside." Misty ran out.
"Good Morning Ash, are you going to eat?" asks him. "I wish I could, but I gotta run!" Ash ran outside. Misty and Ash ran towards the pool hall. It's Misty's big day.
Ash met up with May, Max, and Brock sitting on the bleachers.
"Hey guys!" Ash waves. "Hey Ash!" May nods. "What's up?" Max greets. "Big day." Brock says.
"Yeah, good thing I didn't oversleep this time." Ash jokes around. "Good thing. I hope Misty wins." Max points at the pool. "Me too, she can do this!" May hopes.
Misty was seen in the locker room. "Misty is it?" Regina walked towards her. "Yup! I presume you're Regina!" Misty extends her hand to shake Regina's hand. Regina had auburn hair and dark blue eyes. Her smile was wide, that was probably opening to a welcoming transition. Misty wanted this to be a friendly battle, she seemed pretty nice and cool.
"Please, like I would want to shake a loser's hand." Regina scoffed. "Loser?" Misty asked curiously. This is not what she had expect. "Yeah, I'm going to win so don't get in my way." She glares at Misty.
"Excuse me, but the only winner around here is going to be me." Misty stood up and argued. "Whatever. I've been watching you. From day one. Not just at swimming tournaments but outside too." Regina smirks. "So?" Misty protests. "So it means, I have way more guts than you. That Ash kid would have won anyways. He's not good anyways." Regina states. "Don't bring Ash into this." Misty reminds her. "Why? Don't want me to be talking smack about your boyfriend?" Regina chuckles. "Boyfriend? What no? I'm just helping him out.." Misty blushes angrily. "Whatever. I am so going to win." Regina winks and walks away. Misty growls. "Oh and Mist, try not to drown." Regina laughs deviously.
"We'll see about that." Misty mutters.
"I wonder when I'll see Misty." May scanned the pool. "She'll be up don't worry, May." Ash nods. "I really am counting on her." May replies. "There she is!" Brock and Max points at Misty.
"Good Morning Ladies and Gentleman!" Lilly announced.
"It's starting!" Brock stared lovestruck at Lilly. "That's enough." Max pounded Brock in the head.
"Today is the final match of the regional tournament." Daisy said with full suspense.
"It's Regina! Vs Misty!" Violet cheered.
Misty stood up front and eyed Regina. Regina winks.
"I could see tension between those two." Brock observes. "What how do you know?" Ash asks Brock. "Because I'm a girl expert." Brock blushes.
"On the count of three you may begin!" Violet yells.
"1...2...3!" Lilly and Daisy shouts
Misty and Regina dives in. "Misty starts with the lead!" Lily cheers.
"Yeah! Go Misty!" Brock cheered.
Misty peddled as fast as she could. Regina disappeared. Misty scanned the pool to find her. Regina kicked Misty without anyone seeing.
"Brgathj!" Misty yelled.
"Regina is taking the lead!" Daisy yells.
"What happened to Misty?" May clutched to her heart.
Misty opened her eyes and raced faster.
The two were going head on head. Regina trying swaying and maneuvering as fast as she could confusing Misty. Regina plays dirty. She pulls on Misty's hair. This makes Misty mad and starts having Misty chase her.
Regina leads Misty pedaling super fast to the edge of the other side of the pool. "What's going on down there?" Max asks.
Boom! Regina ran away as fast as she could leading Misty to crash straight forward into a wall head first. Regina then zoomed to the finish line.
"And the winner is Regina!" Daisy yells.
"What?!" May gasps.
Regina waves out of the pool. She is greeted with flowers and a trophy. "Congrats, Regina!" The man announces.
"That is unfair!" Brock yells. "Wait...where's Misty?" May frantically scans around the surface of the pool. ''She should have gotten up by now." Brock rubs his chin. Suddenly, Misty floats up to the surface unconscious.
"Misty!" Ash gasps. "Ash!" May ran towards him. Ash dove in. "Misty! Wake up!" Ash yells. "Ash! Bring her over to me!" May cries. Ash pushed Misty to the edge. May then carried her up. "Misty! Get up! Please!" May cries. "Someone! Call the ambulance!" May yells. "Misty! Hello?" Ash yells.
"Misty!" Brock and Max ran towards her.
The three sensational sisters ran towards her pleading her to wake up. The ambulance had arrived and took Misty too the hospital.
Ash and May waited outside. "Was she breathing?" May says shaking. "Yes." Ash says silently. "If anything happens to Misty, you don't know what I'll do!" May began tearing up. Ash didn't answer. He was feeling what May was feeling too.
"May? Ash?" The doctor asks. "IS SHE OKAY!?" May says crying. "She'll be fine soon. She has a major concussion. She won't be up until a few weeks." The doctor says. "So she's okay?!" Ash says feeling better. "Let me see her!" May ran in. May dragged two chairs in front of Misty's bed who was still unconscious. "I can't believe this happened." May sighs.
"Well that's that." Ash also sighs. "I'm afraid you two needs to leave." The doctor says. "No, I wanna stay." Ash protests. "I'm sorry we need to check up on her." The doctor says.
"No!" Ash argues. "Ash, c'mon..it's better for Misty." May sighs.
"I hope so." Ash turns to Misty.
