A/N: it's currently 3 in the morning…the things I do for you guys.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own pokemon
Ash wasn't in a good mood.
He hadn't been since coming here. Even the house was somewhat miffing. He had to pace around for quite a bit before he finally hit upon the answer.
He was in a bad mood because he was here. Not only did he miss the island, he also hated the fact that he was going to see people soon that he loathed with every fiber of his body. To rid himself of his anger, he started to meditate, focusing on trying to clear his mind of all thought. Soon, he could feel this start to take effect, as he felt his body relax and his aura turn back to normal.
"Hey, lucario." The pokemon turned. "Want to do some shopping?"
Lucario raised its eyebrow. "I would like to see what kind of food and other things the other humans have come up with."
15 MINUTES LATER…
"Here we are! The biggest shopping market in Kanto!"
On this specific day they had moved the shop outside, so there was plenty to explore. On this specific day, he had taken off his hood, so that he could enjoy the sun and warmth. It was one of the few days he actually enjoyed since the betrayal. However, all of that was shattered in an instant when he ran into a certain red-haired individual.
"Hey, watch where you're going, you!" Misty shouted at Ash. "You made me drop my groceries."
Ash simply stared at Misty with a glare of such hatred that an arbok would have been running away. However, Misty didn't seem affected.
"Huh. I'd think that you would have some more class, but apparently not." Ash then took at rotten tomato out of one of the stands. "You see this? This represents your personality-disgusting." He then lobbed it at Misty, who was now splattered with rotten tomato.
"Why you little-"Misty grabbed her mallet and swung it at Ash's head. However, Ash caught it, then promptly snapped it in two.
"I believe this is yours," He said, holding out the broken mallet.
Officer Jenny arrived at the scene. "What's going on here?"
"He ran into me and threw a rotten tomato at me!" Misty said, pointing at Ash
"Well, you swung a big wooden mallet at my head. And shouted at me."
"Okay, you both sound guilty. However, since this is a minor offense, you can either both pay 100 pokedollars or battle."
"Battle," They both said.
15 MINUTES LATER…
"This will be a one-on-one battle between Saito of Mirage Island and Misty, the leader of the cerulean gym!"
Ash turned to Misty. "You're a gym leader?" He asked, playing dumb.
Misty grinned evilly. "Should have thought of that before you tried to mess with me!"
"Both trainers will fight with the pokemon they have on hand! Battle…begin!"
"Gyrados, come on out!"
"Lucario, lend me your aura!"
Something most people did not know, and a secret that pokemon keep well hidden, is that all pokemon can see aura and see through aura tricks. So when Gyrados came out and saw ash again, h was shocked, to say the least. However, Ash just gave a barely perceptible nod to Gyrados, then turned to Misty.
"Lucario, use swords dance."
"Gyrados, hydro pump!"
The stream of water blasting out of gyrados' mouth went straight to lucario. However, Lucario simply sidestepped and used swords dance.
"Dammit! Gyrados, hydro pump again!"
"Extremespeed."
Lucario was gone before Gyrados knew what was happening. Then, he reappeared and hit Gyrados right in the face, who subsequently fainted.
"Golduck, come on out!"
Golduck also recognized Ash, and this time golduck gave the nod.
"Golduck, swift!"
"Aura sphere."
A blue orb hit the starts, crashed right through them, and hit golduck. When the dust cleared, it was obvious of the outcome.
"Starmie, come on out!"
Starmie was sleeping when it came out, so grumpy as it was, It did not recognize Ash.
"Starmie, hyper beam!"
"Dragon pulse."
The purple beam cut through the white one, and K.O.'ed Starmie.
"The winner is ash!"
"How did you beat me with one pokemon?"
"Because my pokemon are loyal, and they are strong because of their loyalty. That's why I've never caught them in pokeballs-if they deem me unworthy, they can go."
Ash had turned away when he heard "Go, Pokeball!"
He turned back and saw a pokeball flying towards Lucario. However, when it hit lucario, the pokeball did not act as it would with a normal wild pokemon-it just fell to the ground like it hit a wall.
Ash smiled. "My pokemon are so loyal to me that there very genetic code resists capture by anyone else."
He then walked up to Misty and punched her in the face. Misty's nose immediately broke,, and she started bleeding. She turned to officer jenny and said "Arrest this man!"
However, Officer Jenny did nothing. When misty screamed at her, she said "I'm sorry ma'am, but I feel that was warranted for what you just did."
Misty was crying now. She could not bear the humiliation along with the pain the broken nose was causing her. Ash, however, simply smirked. Bending down to her, he whispered "I will make you pay more for what you did." He then got up and walked away with lucario, whistling a jaunty tune.
A/N: Ash, once again, chill. Well, do you guys feel Misty got what she deserved? Please R&R!
