The Power of the Heart.

Part 1.

Disclaimer: Okay, what idiot could ever think that *I* own Pokemon? Come on, get real. NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Get the picture?

(This is in Misty's point of view)

Cold. Tired. Miserable. Hungry. Ever had one of those days? Yeah, thought so. Well, just happens that SOMEONE got us lost, AGAIN. I like sitting by the fire, but I DON'T like to not know where the heck I am. But I'm much too tired, cold, miserable, and hungry to yell at him today. That's right. I'll just yell at him TOMORROW.

There he goes... Blabbing on and on and on and on about something or other. Someday, I SWEAR, I'm gonna tape his mouth shut. Now I've got a headache. But look at that. STILL blabbing. Oh, and look. We've moved from pokemon to the overusage of dishwasher soap. Yes, a bolt of lightning should strike me any minute now. Oh, good lord Ash, shut UP! Time I took some action.

"Maybe, if you keep your mouth SHUT for a change, you and Brock wouldn't be having an argument about DISHWASHER SOAP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!" I told him.

Ash just rolled his eyes. "You lookin for a fight, Misty?" he said calmly and unamused.

"No, just lookin for some shut-eye," I yawned. "And maybe even a little food." I could hear his stomach grumble. He must be hungry too.

"Yeah, fooooood..." he smiled dreamily. He then paused and stared at Togepi for a moment. He smiled. "It's foooooood..."

"Huh?" I then realized what he was staring at. "Oh no... NO YOU DON'T!!!! WE ARE NOT EATING TOGEPI FOR DINNER!!!"

He grinned and licked his lips. "Scrambled eggs... Fried eggs... Mmmmm... Or maybe hard-boiled eggs..."

I growled at him. "I TOLD YOU, ASH, YOU AREN'T GETTING THE EGG!!!!! SO JUST... Eh... Ummm... QUIT STARING AT LIKE IT'S YOUR LONG LOST BROTHER!!!!!!"

His grin widened. "Nope. It's my long lost MEEEEEEEEAL... Where have you been all my life????"

"ASH!!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!" I told him, waving my hand in front of his face.

That's when Brock came into the picture... "Yeeeesssss, Ash... Cleeeeeaaaaarrr your mind of everything... Let your soul be free... Let it flyyyyy loosely with the winnnnnd..."

Ash's grin dropped like cow dung. "What the heck?"

It was my turn to grin. "Looks like Brock has started his 'meditation' training."

Ash sweatdropped. "Uuuuuh... Does that mean he's going to start 'humming' in his sleep?"

I giggled. "I don't know. Your problem, not mine."

Ash just groaned. "Great. I get to wake up every two minutes to smack him so he'll shut up. And for what? SO HE CAN START 'HUMMING' AGAIN!!!!!! THIS STINKS!!!!!"

"I must be in touch with my inner self. Find the good-natured person that lurks within." Brock started to that 'hum' thing. "Hummmm... Hummmmmm... Hummmm... Hummm..."

"OH, PUT A SOCK IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ash grumbled.

I laughed. He's kind of... Cute... When he's tired... "What 'good-natured' person,

Brock?"

"The onnnnne that luurrrks within..." he replied.

Ash groaned again while I burst out laughing. Talk about a Kodac moment!!!!! This has GOT to be a photographer's dream come true!!!!! Brock, trying to get in touch with his "inner self". Ash, looking like a lion about to attack the prey, or in this case, the "inner self" of Brock. And me, laughing like a hooligan. And to think that all this time we've been tired, cold, hungry, and miserable. I brought my hysterics to a stop to ease the pain of my stomach.

I got up. "I'm gettin to bed you guys." I said as my eyelids became heavier.

"G'night, Misty." Ash said, his eyes drooping a bit too.

"Good night, Ash." I winked at him and giggled, "Don't let Brock's 'inner self' bite."

He groaned again, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Brock who appeared to be having a conversation with his so-called 'inner self'. "Yeah, whatever. Maybe I can ship him to Alaska. There will be PLENTY of room for his 'inner self' to come out in Alaska..."

I yawned and waved goodnight one final time as I slipped quietly into my sleeping bag. Maybe I won't yell at him tomorrow... I smiled and drifted off into my dreams.

End of Part 1.

It stinks, am I right? Yeah, but I'm rusty. So give me some time and it'll all come back to me. I think I REALLY screwed this one up. I haven't even thought out the next part. -.-;;; Maybe it will be better than this one. Not much romance, yet. Sorry. I'm getting there... It'll happen soon... So, chill out. ^^;;; Be happy!! And tell me what you think. Or else... *grins evilly*
