Disclaimer-Let's see. We're a group of teens trying to write good stories and get Ash and Misty together. You think we'd own Pokemon? I didn't think so either.
Two of A Kind
Ash and Misty were walking
along the path to Goldenrod City. It was
a beautiful day. It seemed even more
beautiful because they weren't lost! For once Ash had read the map correctly! Brock had gone to stay with Bill, the Pokemon researcher, for a
few days.
I close my eyes
And
I can see
The
day we met
"Where do you think we should eat lunch,
Ash?" asked Misty out of nowhere it was almost 3 o' clock and they were
starving.
"Well, um, we kind of don't have any
money." Said Ash, waiting for Misty's infamous mallet to come down on his head.
"Oh, well, we could always pick some
fruit and have a picnic. It would be so
ro-fun!" she stopped herself before saying the word 'romantic'.
Just one moment and I knew
You're
my best friend
Do
anything for you,
"Ro-fun?" asked Ash, bewildered.
"Never mind, let's just go find some
fruit!" said Misty quickly, running off ahead. Ash began to run after her.
"Wait up!" he yelled.
We've
gone so far,
And
done so much
And
I feel
Up ahead, a few certain people that we all
know and love waited in the bushes.
"This is ingenious, Jesse!" snickered
James.
"Yes, I know. Now how did we get this Ampharos again?"
asked James' redheaded partner Jesse, a bit confused.
"The boss gave it to us because he was
tired of us screwing up." Answered Meowth.
"Oh yeah." Jesse recalled the
moment. "Get ready to set the trap!"
Not much later, Misty ran ahead of
Ash, laughing. "Can't catch me, Ash!" Suddenly, Team Rocket's Ampharos jumped out of the bushes.
"What's that?" Ash pointed Dexter at
the Ampharos.
*Ping* Ampharos, an electric type
Pokemon. It is the final evolution of
Mareep. No further information. *Ping*
recited Dexter.
"It's so cute!" exclaimed Misty.
"I'm gonna catch it!" said Ash, that determined look in his eye.
"Be careful Ash, it looks mad." Ampharos had begun to power up for an attack.
Suddenly, just as Ash was about to
throw a Pokeball, Ampharos let lose its most deadly attack. Thunder.
"Ash! Look out!" yelled Misty. In a moment of temporary insanity, she
pushed Ash out of the way. The
electricity hit her full force.
"Misty!" exclaimed Ash.
Like we've always been together
Right by my side
Through
thick and thin
Ampharos ceased the attack suddenly. It ran back into the bushes. Ash could hear gasping coming from one of them and had a hunch who was behind it, but didn't worry about it at the present time. He ran up to Misty. She was a mess. Her skin had turned a dull brown and was almost black in some places. He hair was singed at the bottom up about halfway through her beautiful red mane. She was unconscious. Ash picked her up gently and carried her to the nearest hospital.
"Please. Help." He said to the nurse at the reception desk.
"What happened?" she asked, looking
over Misty, who was still unconscious in Ash's arms.
"She was attacked by an Ampharos."
"What attack did it use?"
"Thunder."
"Oh dear. I need a stretcher out here. STAT!" yelled the nurse. "You wait
here." She told Ash. "We'll let you know if anything happens."
Ash sank into one of the chairs in the
waiting room. He felt terrible. It was all his fault. If he hadn't tried to capture that Ampharos,
he and Misty could be enjoying a picnic at this very moment and her life
wouldn't be hanging in the balance. [Please pull through, Misty, please.] He
thought, hoping she could hear.
You're the part of my life
I'll
always remember
The
time has come
Ash sat through the night, not eating
not sleeping. Not even moving until he saw Team Rocket enter the hospital. They saw him and walked over.
"Come to gloat?" he asked coldly.
"We don't know what you mean." Replied
Jesse.
"Misty was attacked by an
Ampharos. It used Thunder and now her
life is hanging in the balance. Plus
it's all my fault because I tried to catch it." he replied, not moving his gaze
from the doors to the emergency room.
"Oh, I guess we should tell you that
our Ampharos attacked Misty." Said James solemnly. "We saw her get attacked and
followed you here."
Ash turned and stared, dumbfounded at
Team Rocket.
It's for the best
I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I
"You WHAT?" he exploded.
"We didn't intend for it to hurt her,
okay!" said James loudly. "All we wanted to do was steal Pikachu!"
"I didn't even have Pikachu with me!"
exclaimed Ash. "Or were you to thick to see it?" he said angrily. They had a brief staring contest.
Somehow some day
We'd
have to say
Goodbye
The doors to the emergency room burst
open. The nurse who had originally
talked to Ash was flushed in the face.
"We have her stabilized." She said
breathlessly. "It wasn't easy, and I don't know who long she's going to stay
stable, but you can go in and see her now."
"Thank you." Replied Ash. "If she
dies, it's all you fault." He growled at Team Rocket. He headed into the emergency room to see Misty.
You helped me find
The strength inside
And the courage
Ash gasped at the sight of her. Misty was still unconscious, but had been
cleaned up a bit. She looked so small
and vulnerable, lying there among all the machines. He walked up to the bedside, pulled over a chair, sat down, and
took her hand.
"Hey Mist." He whispered. There was no
response. "How you doing?" it was a stupid question, he knew. It felt good to talk to her anyway.
To make my dreams come true
How will I find
Another
friend like you?
"In case you want to know, Team Rocket
planted that Ampharos. Apparently, they
were just trying to capture Pikachu again. I'm so sorry." His voice began
to crack and a few tears found their way down his cheeks. Yet again, Ash Ketchum was lost for words.
Two of a kind
That's what we are
And
it seems
[In the waiting room]
James was pacing nervously. Jesse was sitting next to where Ash had been. Then, she spontaneously broke into tears.
"Jesse? What's wrong?" James went over and put an arm around her
shoulders.
"I'm so sorry." Jesse said through the
tears. "I feel so bad about what happened to Misty."
"It's okay. I feel bad, too." Jesse
looked up at James. His emerald green
eyes were filled with tears as well. Suddenly, Jesse threw her arms around him and hugged him close. James hugged her back and they stayed in
their embrace for at least another minute.
Like we were always winning
But as our team
Is
torn apart
[Back to Misty's room]
Misty hadn't moved or anything. The only sign of life in her was the gentle rising and falling of her chest. Ash found his voice and continued.
"Misty. I know you can't hear me, but I have to tell you this. It's totally my fault that you're here. If I hadn't tried to capture that Ampharos, it never would have done Thunder and you wouldn't be in this condition." His voice cracked again. Suddenly, the heart monitor that was hooked up to Misty released one long, high-pitched beep. Doctors and nurses rushed in and Ash was practically thrown out. He returned to waiting room where Jesse and James still sat. [No longer hugging-btw]
"How is she?" asked James.
"Not good." Replied Ash. "I'm afraid that maybe she won't pull through…" his voice trailed off.
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning
The time has come
"Oh Ash," Jesse finally said. "We're so sorry. We never meant to hurt her. Giovanni probably did, but that's another story. If she dies, I won't know how to forgive myself."
"It's not your fault." Ash confessed. "It's my fault because I tried to capture it. I only blamed you because I was looking for someone else to take the blame. I should be sorry. Not you."
The nurse from the reception desk entered the room. "You can see her again. I don't know how long she's going to live. None of the doctors do either. I don't think it'll be very long, I'm sorry to say."
It's for the best
I know it
How could have guessed that you and I
"Misty please don't leave me." Pleaded Ash. "I love you so much. I'm sorry I never got a chance to say it." The tears were flowing freely now.
"I love you, too Ash." Was the faint reply.
"Misty? You're awake? Oh thank
god!" Ash hugged her gently and Misty hugged him back.
"I don't know how long I'm going to
stay like this. I've loved you since I met
you. Now that I'm dying…"
"You're not dying." Said Ash firmly. "we're
going to get through this, Mist. I promise."
"Did you just call me Mist?"
Somehow
someday
We'd
have to say
Goodbye
"I did, didn't I?" said Ash, smiling for the
first time in almost a week. "Well, goodbye Mist."
"I thought I wasn't dying." She replied
sarcastically.
"I realized I had better let the
reality sink in."
"Go get 'em Mr. Pokemon Master. I love you." Were her last words.
The time has come
It's
for the best I know it
How
could have guessed that you and I
"Goodbye, Misty. I love you now and forever." He bent down and gently kissed her
forehead. No more beeping came from the
heart monitor. She was really and truly
gone. Ash continued to cry, not wanting
to leave, for fear she might wake up. But she wouldn't. He knew he was
just fooling himself. That she wasn't
coming back. But it just felt good to
be near her. She seemed to give off a
warm light, even when she was dead.
"That's you and me, Mist. Two of a kind." Those were his last words to
her. Ash got up and solemnly left her
room. Right before he left, Ash took
one last, long look at the only girl he had ever truly loved.
Somehow someday
We'd have to say
Goodbye
The End
