Chapter 2.
Misty's hand flew over her mouth and she blushed realizing what she had just blurted out.
Ash went white Misty stood up and stayed there holding her hands behind her back and
avoiding Ash's eyes. She looked like the child caught stealing a cookie before dinner. Ash sat on the ground not believing that whole conversation.
"You what me? he asked
"Love you" Misty answered.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ash asked softly.
"Hey I, you weren't arguing .I'm Sorry I just argue with you when I think your coming close to figuring it out and when you act stupid" Misty said smiling weakly.
"Why didn't you tell me though?" Ash repeated. Misty took a deep breath and sat down.
"Cause remember all the adventures we had. Well they all came at a cost and that cost was pain and danger and the thought of losing my best friend is the greatest risk I could ever take in my life and the greatest pain I could ever cause myself was to make my best friend feel uncomfortable cause
I confessed my love and he didn't feel the same way and the thought of me leaving and not seeing either of you especially you I could never ever handle that
so I kept it all bottled up. Pretty dumb huh? Misty asked.
"I did the same" Ash confessed.
"So why didn't you tell me?" Misty asked looking at him.
"I guess the thought of losing you freaked me out. Ask me to battle even if the odds are completely against me and I'll say when?. Ask me to do the stupidest most dangerous things in the world I'll say anytime? but ask me to give up you I'll say yeah sure when hell freezes over"
Ash sat on the ground and Misty crawled over to him. They sat next to each other. Misty hugged her knees close to her chest and stared up at the stars. Ash pecked her on the cheek and he leaned in closer to kiss her but she withdrew
"Sorry Romeo ,we just confessed that we loved each other I don't think I'm ready to make out" Misty said sounding dignified even though most would be embarrassed by this Ash admired her for that. She could be dragged down to hell and back and still return to her principals and morals shining through. He draped his arm over her shoulders and she smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulder. They both watched the stars not saying a word
Pikachu sighed he was getting tired of waiting for Ash and Ash and Misty were taking a long time. He decided to find him. He saw them huddled together and he burst out into big grin. He scurried over to where Togapi was playing with some empty Pokeballs pushing the buttons and giggling happily while he waved his arms around.
"Pi pi pi" Pikachu cried .
He picked up Togapi then scurried over to where Brock stood and spoke fluently in Pika language. Brock looked at him blankly but followed when Pikachu left holding Togapi. Brock realized what Pikachu was talking about when he saw the pair of them. They were outlined by the moonlight. Brock left with a wide grin Maybe there was hope for him after all. If they could finally get it together maybe he could finally get the girl .Ash walked he had a goofy grin as he walked out the little clearing. Misty followed him she was holding her head low and trying to hide her face.
"Ash, we're pretty close to a Pokemon center" Brock commented Misty was holding Togapi and Ash was staring at her. Brock waved his hands in front of his face with some success.
"A Pokemon center cool right Pikachu" he said hugging Pikachu. They walked down the road when they reached the center. Ash was still full of energy when they were inside. Misty was asleep and she was resting her head on Brock's shoulder Brock had also dozed off.
That's when the phone started ringing. He picked it up.
"Hello this is Ash" he said unsure about whether he should be answering the telephone
.The man on the other end looked very serious.
"Ashton this is your father" he said in a deep tone.
"What are you serious. Your my dad?" he asked.
"Yes Ashton I am always serious I want you to return to Pallet at once" he said in the same tone.
"We'll head back tomorrow" he said he was about to explode with excitement but the look on the man he guessed that he should remain calm.
"Why do you call me Ashton dad" he asked
"You will address me as father and I call you that because it's your name .What do you mean we?" the man asked."
"Well me ,Misty ,Brock and Pikachu" he said
"Misty and Brock who are these people you speak of" the man demanded.
"Their my best friends in the whole wide world well Misty is kinda my girlfriend" Ash sniggered as he said that. He always wanted to say that but not just any girl. He always wanted top say that about Misty,
"Ashton you grew up without friends I ensured that I did this because I knew you were going to the worlds greatest master and friends get in the way .Tell me while spending time with your so called friends did you catch a lot of Pokemon today "he asked his voice rising.
"But they help me loads if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't know anything" Ash argued.
"Ashton you are to return to Pallet without your little girlfriend and your friends understand " the man demanded again.
"I guess so" Ash said sadly as he glanced over at his two sleeping friends. He hung up the phone and dragged himself towards them .He shook them both up. They looked at him through sleepy eyes.
"Ash what is it?" they asked in concern.
"I kinda got a call from my dad" he said avoiding their eyes.
"Your dad that's great Ash" Misty exclaimed happily.
"I gotta go back to Pallet" he said desperately hoping the earth would swallow him up.
"Can't we go tomorrow" Brock pleaded.
"Actually my dad says I have to go back alone" he said biting his lip so much that it hurt.
"Wait a guy who abandoned you as a kid suddenly comes back and tells you what to do and you instantly give up your two best friends instantly ,your just going to give up on us forever ,you used us" Misty yelled.
Brock held her back.
"Misty you don't undrestand. My Dad's back you can't understand" Ash cried trying to hold back tears.
"Ash don't go please. I know what it's like not having a Father and I also know that your Dad gets to come back .My Dad doesn't but please I'm begging you after everything that happened today don't go" Misty begged
"I have to go back to my Dad. I'm Sorry"
"Oh no Ash Ketchum you know fully well you don't have to go back. You could stay here. For a while there we meant something but as soon as someone who doesn't care about you as much as we do shows up and you run off leaving us behind. You don't do that to friends. You just don't do that" Misty cried angrily
"Misty this won't help anyone" Brock exclaimed.
"Let me go .You drag us around after you then you dump us ,you are so dead. Let go of me come on don't tell me you don't want this to happen" she yelled trying to wriggle out of Brock's grasp.
"Ash you better go" Brock yelled.
"But"
"Just go" Brock thundered. Neither of them had never seen Misty so mad .She was really strong for a twelve year old .He was having difficulty just holding her and he was sixteen. Ash ran out of the center he ran and ran until he couldn't run anymore he was always a loner now he had friends who now hated him so very much he almost cried all he had left were his pokemon and his dad .
Pika?" Pikachu asked popping out of Ash's backpack. Pikachu looked around quizzically trying to spot the other two.
"Their not coming with us Pikachu. We're meeting someone new. We're going home to see my Dad Misty and Brock won't be coming with us anymore but we always have each other right Pikapal"
Pikachu nodded sadly.
Pipipi?" he asked.
"Yeah well Togapi is going to stay with Misty. She's his Mommy"
"Pika pika chu" Pikachu said glumly
He walked at surprisingly fast pace back to Pallet to his surprise he reached there quickly.
Although he was home and right where he started he had never felt more lost and alone
Ah ha a cliffhanger. What's going to happen next. You'll just have to wait. Well if anyone cares about what happens next .I hope you liked this chapter.Sorry about the slight delay if you can consider that a delay.I've been busy I've got school and other such things so I'm sure I can be forgiven.I'd better be. Please review it just no flamers and don't be harsh. Constructive criticism more than nasty criticism please. See ya. Nibbs
