The Power of the Heart.

Part 8.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Uh, DUH!! I own Microsoft... NO!!! I'm just kidding!! I don't own Microsoft, either. I DO own the warm little blanket I'm curled up in at the moment. So, NO STEALING!! lol...

(Hmmm... Ash's POV)

My eyes opened slightly, and I shut them again to avoid the bright sun. It was morning, and I had a really bad headache. I reopened my eyes and realized why. My head was resting on a jagged rock. Not much like the soft pillow I'm used to... I rubbed the back of my head gently as I sat up. A face appeared in front of me and I yelled and stumbled a little, my head falling back onto the jagged rock also known as "Pillow".

"Gooood morning! Have a good sleep?" the girl asked me.

"Well... Not exactly "good" sleep... But, yeah, it was sleep..." I replied, rubbing the soar spot on my head, again.

She shrugged. "Sleep is sleep!"

"Yeah, and hard, pointy rocks are hard, pointy rocks..." I said, lazily.

She raised an eyebrow at me. "Ummmmm...did you sleep on a hard, pointy rock?"

I rolled my eyes. "Duh."

She grinned and stood up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay, once the throbbing pain in my head goes away..." I replied.

She extended a hand out to pull me up. "We should get looking for your friend."

My eyes narrowed... "We?"

She giggled. "We."

I groaned. This would be a long day. "Rhapsody, I'm perfectly capable of handling this by myself."

"No you aren't. You don't even know what you're up against." She said, her grin fading.

"Pikachu and I can handle anything, right Pika...? Crap." I groaned again.

Rhapsody's eyes widened. "Pika-crap?" she said, puzzled. "Is that what you call you pikachu?"

"Huh? Oh...no!" I shook my head. "We better get going."

She nodded. "Right! We have to find your mate!"

I sighed. "My FRIEND. F-R-E-N-D."

She laughed. "F-R-I-E-N-D."

I growled. "Know-it-all." I said under my breath.

She glowered at me. "I heard that."

"Any ideas on how to find Misty?" I asked.

She nodded and recited something under her breath. Out of midair came a silvery-blue mist. She grinned and looked at me. "Say her name."

I nodded and did as she said. "Misty Waterflower."

The mist twisted and twirled and finally came up with an image of Misty. My eyes teared up a bit and I blinked the tears back. I was happy to see she was at least alive. It was not a very good image and it slowly faded away. I couldn't see what damage was done to her, but I knew she was hurt pretty badly.

Rhapsody put a hand on my shoulder, brought her lips next to my ear and whispered into it. "She'll be all right."

A slight smile crossed my face as I nodded. "I hope so."

"Let's get going if we want to find her, okay?" she said, trying to sound comforting.

"Okay." I said in agreement. "How do you plan on getting us there?"

Rhapsody grinned. "I am the goddess of all pokemon you know... I have my ways..." She raised her hands up into the air and recited something. When she brought her hands down, right before us stood a rapidash.

"Pretty impressive." I said in awe.

She jumped up onto the horse. "Climb on." She motioned for me to get on behind her. I did as I was told. She whispered something to it and it started to race down the path. The path that would lead us to Misty.
