Disclaimer: I don't own any characters that may come up in this fic, but if
I did, the world would be in DEEP trouble.
I may not reveal ALL the stuff you think I might in this chapter, I have not decided yet.
"Oh my god! It's an actual Articuno!" Misty squealed with delight as the Articuno made its way into view.
"Watch out, Misty!" Ash dived and hit Misty aside just before the Articuno ice beam hit her. "That was close." Ash said numbly.
"I can't believe he saved me. Maybe he's not as thoughtless as I thought..." Misty thought to herself. Ash, apparently, wanted to capture the Articuno, and he was battling while sitting down. Misty then breathed out a puffball thing and watched from the sideline. Ash won the battle, and captured the Articuno. (AN I didn't feel like typing out the whole battle, it would have taken up to much time and I think reading battles are boring.) Ash threw a pokeball and captured the legendary ice bird (figures). But, when Ash tried to stand up, his leg collapsed under him. He fell back to the hard rock floor.
"ASH!" Misty was worried, and didn't know what happened. She ran over to him, and found he was unconscious.
"Pikachu, we have to do something!" Misty said roughly.
*Duh. Uhm, we can't use Articuno until he's trained, but I think he has his Pidgeot with him!* Pikachu sniffed the pokeballs on Ash's belt. *It's this one!* Pikachu threw the pokeball and did a little stance thing. *Ash never lets me release his Pokemon, but its so fun!* Pikachu was being really strange.
"Pidgeot, Ash is hurt! We have to get him to the nearest Pokemon Center ASAP!" Pidgeot agreed and somehow managed to get Ash on his back. Together, they flew to the Pokemon Center in Mahogany. He had his leg thawed out, and was treated on his head for minor cuts.
"Well, Misty, he'll be OK, but I am afraid he will not be able to walk for 3 days. You can go in and talk to him if you want. He had regained consciousness." Nurse Joy told Misty.
Misty rushed into the recovery room and almost fainted at the sight of Ash.
"Looks like we're delayed for three more days. And I have some work ahead of me, with Articuno." Ash said weakly. He did not sound like himself.
"Ash..." Misty said meekly. "You saved me." Tears started rolling down her face.
"Come on. It's no big deal. You would have done the same for me or Brock. And I would do the same for Brock or Pikachu."
Misty sat quietly as she thought this over. "No, I wouldn't have. I would have been to scared to dive like that. You, you had courage to do what you did."
This conversation went on like this for a while. They argued back and forth, until Ash announced he was hungry.
In the room with nothing in it except Brock and food...
"Gary! And... GIOVANNI?!?" Brock was a little confused at this. What would Giovanni want with him? And, why was he here with Gary?!
"Yes, it is I, the great Giovanni. It will all be explained to you when the time is right. Now we have to get..." He was cut off by the annoying trio.
"We are here to save the day!" shouted James, who was standing next to Jesse and Meowth.
"Argh! Guards, get them! Put them in with the squinty-eyed weirdo!" shouted Giovanni angrily.
"Oomph!" said the previously bad trio. "Yeah, I know you must be wondering how we got here, why we wanted to save you, and are you guys good now?" Jesse said to Brock, knowing what kind of questions he would ask. "It all started like this..."
Back at the hospital 3 days later...
"Yeah! I'm ready and pumped and I have a Articuno and Pikachu to back me up!" Ash shouted.
Misty sweat dropped and said, "Ahem. You have me too! And what's with 'being pumped'? Ya know Ash, people are not as dense as you are or as..." Misty stopped in mid-sentence as she realized what she was about to say. "Uh... never mind. Let's just keep going."
As they were walking to the ice caves for the second time that week, Ash wondered, "What was she going to say? Mean? Thoughtless?" Then he remembered the talk she had had with Togepi the other night. "Cute?" He thought. "I'll bet that's what she was going to say. I know! I'll ask her!"
"He has that look on his face, which means he is thinking hard about something." Misty thought to herself.
"Umm Misty? Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Ash. What is it?"
"What were you going to say before, when you said that some people aren't as dense and as... you never finished. What were you going to say?"
"No, it's not important Ash."
"If it wasn't important, why can't you just tell me?"
"I just can't. That's all."
"Misty..."
"Hey! We're at the entrance. Let's go in, shall we?" Misty changed the subject.
Ash knew it had to be important if Misty changed the subject and stopped in mid-sentence. So he kept at it until they got to an icy part of the ice caves.
"Misty how..." Ash started to say.
"What! I told you to leave me alone!" Misty cut him off.
"Misty, I wasn't going to keep at it. I was going to ask how we are going to get across the ice."
"Oh, sorry." Misty said quietly. She obviously had something on her mind. (Well duh)
"C'mon! Let's just get across the ice." Ash shot.
"Yeah, well if you had a halfway decent brain, you'd thing of using your Pokemon, dimwit!"
"Well, sorry. Maybe if I didn't have a scrawny, red haired runt tagging along, I'd already be out of the ice caves!" As soon as he said it, he wished he hadn't. Misty turned around on her heals and started to stomp off.
"Misty wait!" Ash called.
"Forget it. You don't care! You never did! And I was foolish to think you did. I heard you talking to Pikachu that night. I heard everything, including the part where you said that you didn't know how you liked me. Ya think you'd know by now if you liked me or not!" Misty was out of breath, and she was fighting back tears. Ash could hear a waver in her voice.
Now Ash was mad. Misty was too. Misty headed back toward the entrance and Ash headed for the big clump of ice. When Misty sat down a ways from where she had the big fight, and she could hear Ash faintly call out his Pidgeot.
"Amature." she muttered under her breath.
*Mommy, I'm cold.* Togepi chirped. Misty got out a blanket and some food and she and Togepi fell asleep soon after.
~~~~~~~ Sorry, this chapter was a little bit shorter than I intended it to be. I had writer's block, but I have some really good ideas for the next chapter, and I'll get that one out within two days. See ya in next chapter!
