"Ash. Ash. ASH! Will you come on?! How do you expect to beat the leagues best if you can't even make the Pokemon center before it gets too full?"
"Will you wait Misty. I just need to pack my antidotes and the food. Unless you don't want to eat anything for the next two days."
"Guys, Guys, I just called the Pokemon center. I reserved three rooms for us," Brock said, yelling between them.

It was a normal day between Misty and Ash. After years of catching pokemon and traveling, our heroes are finally competing. Brock is competing in the rock section of the pokebattles with strong new rock pokemon. Misty in the water section with good chances of wining, with her strongest evolved Pokemon Seaking, and her Psyduck that has improved. Ash is competing for the overall Pokemon master, with his Pokemon and his prizewinning Pikachu. Brock is eighteen. He has grown a little more with height but nothing changes with him physically. Brock is Brock and still chases after girls, but has gotten much more strict with the group's training. Ash is sixteen and has one of the, if not the, strongest pokemon bond in the world with his pokemon, but Ash still is dense. He still sometimes doesn't train like he should when Brock is not isn't yelling at him. Misty is sixteen too and, well Misty changed a lot in physical appearance. As for her attitude, she is still the fiery red head. Misty can whip Ash to shape when she wants to, even though she cares for him. Misty's feeling for Ash and Ash's feelings for Misty... well I'll just explain that later. Lets watch as the story continues.

"Well, you should have packed it last night." Misty yelled.
"You should mind your business."
"It's my business when I have to camp out in the forest. I bet Gary and his cheerleading squad all got their rooms and enjoying a nice dinner right now." Misty said sighing.
"Don't mention that name." Ash slumped to the corner.
"Your always complaining how he beats you and he has more pokemon then you. He is going to battle with new fresh healed pokemon while you fight with ones that haven't been to the center from who knows when."
"Fine Miss. Misty Waterflower. If you're so infatuated (obsessed) with Gary Oak so much why don't you stay with him."
"I want my bike."
"I'll get your damn bike as long as you stay away from me," Ash yelled suddenly.
"Gladly."
"I never want to see your face here again or I'll get Pikachu to give you a thunderbolt."
"Not if I can get my Phyduck to give you a phybeam first."
"Guys, Guys, you don't mean what you are saying right?" Brock asked confused.
"I mean ever single word of it." Ash yelled, throwing Misty's bag with Pokemon to her.
"I'm glad you do Ash Ketchum. I'm going to stay with Jessie and James." Misty picked up her Togipi, and walked to the door.
"Jessie?! James?! What do you mean stay with them?" Brock asked.
"They are my friends, of course I never told you because I could just imagine the reaction from two dense kids like you." Misty snapped, then apologized to Brock. " Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you Brock, just Ash."
"Well at least I help you when you need it, 'cause ..." Ash started.

Misty slammed the door on Ash.

"...I love you." Ash finished, sighing.

Remember when
We never needed each other
The best of friends
Like sister and brother
We understood
We'd never be
Alone

Misty ran into the forest calling out her Iceadash. (The ice Pokemon evolution from Rapidash with the freezestone, both newly discovered by Gary Oak.} and mounted on it. She rode 'till she got to a little lake. She lets Icicle (nickname) get a drink as she sat down. Mist whispered curses at herself and playing out the things they said in her mind.

"Why does he need to start trouble. All I wanted to do was to go to the pokemon center. He kicked me out for no good reason. I should gave him a good piece of my mind .... and to think of it, my mallet too." *A long silent pause* "I just wanted to help him."

Misty's tears fell silently on her backpack. Then she stood up and stamped her feet.

Those days are gone
Now I want you so much
The night is long
And I need your touch
Don't know what to say
Never meant to feel this way
Don't wanna be alone tonight

"Why, tell me why, are my tears falling for Ash Ketchum. I should have fell in love with a mule. At least that's more lovable. But, I feel like something's gonna happen to him. Maybe something good, maybe something bad. I want to be with him when it happens. "

Misty went over and petted Icicle. She picked up her cell and pressed speed dial for Jessie.

"Hello. This is Jessie from Team Rocket."
"Hey Jessica."
"Mist!? What are you doing calling me? The sun is already setting. M-Mist-Misty, are you crying?"
"I need a place to stay."
"What do you mean?"
"Ash kicked me out."
"That twerp kicked YOU out! Tell me where you are. I'll be there in a sec with my biggest mallet."
"No, No, Jessie. I just need a place to stay for a while. I'm by the Goldduck Lake."
" I know where that is. See you soon."

What can I do to make you mine
Falling so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do
How did I fall in love with you

"Hey Ash?" Brock called while packing his stuff in a hotel dresser.
"What?" Ash said looking at the ceiling and listing to the 199.9 station.
"Did you mean it?"
"What?"
"I never want to see your face here again or I'll get Pikachu to give you a thunderbolt." Brock said imitating Ash's voice.
"No."
"Why did you say it then?"
"I spat it out in anger. I could never hurt her in any way, ever."
"Well, She ran off. We have no idea where she could be. "
"I know Misty, She can take care of herself until tomorrow, when I can beg for her forgiveness."

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child
That I resemble

"But doesn't bother you Ash?"
"What?"
"That you said, she should see Gary."
"She never would."
"She was so angry, so torn, knowing Gary. He might be around. You know Ash."
"What?"
"Gary is always looking at her when you and Gary meet again. I think he has a deep crush on her. He might... you know... take advantage of her in her emotional state."

Ash jumped up and looked at Brock with a state of alarm on his face.

I cannot pretend
That we can still be friends
Don't wanna be alone tonight

"You don't think he would."
"I overheard two pokemon trainers talking."

FLASHBACK

"Yo Derrien. How's it going?"
"It's fine. I caught a Eevee."
"Gary Oak. Professor Oaks grandson, had five Eevee at one time and made them evolved into different Eevee types."
"He must be some trainer."
"He is and he is a babe magnet too."
"What do you mean."
"Did you see all the cheerleaders he has around him?"
"No."
"They're all gorgeous. Just between you and me, he told me that he 'ran the bases' with each and everyone of them."
"No kidding."
"Not at all. He says he has one girl in particular he wants, and cannot want to 'meet up' with her again. "

End Flashback



"Why that two-timing piece of scum," Ash sneered.
"Are we going to go look for her?" Brock asked
"No."
"Why?"
"She said she was with Jessie and James. They must truly be her friends if she went with them."
"Ash, I swear your become wiser everyday."
"No. Just the thought of one person makes everything understandable for a dunce like me."
