Chapter 2 Strolling down Memory lane
Misty now 16,watched half amused as a boy named Jack raced towards her, jumping over the ground and taking huge strides and stumbling about. When he reached her, he was out of breath and placed his arm against a tree.
He wore a pair of black tracksuit pants with a white stripe down the sides of the legs and a sports tee shirt with a jumper tied around his waist.
"Hey Mist get what I just did"
"Don't call me Mist"
"Buts that your friend called you"
"You're not him, you're someone completely different." Misty answered.
She sat down facing the glistening lake they were next to. She wrapped her slender arms around her knees and rested her chin on them. Her eyes gained that sad, faraway look that happened whenever she thought of her friends.
"Do you think they remember me?" Misty asked, not to Jack in specific but out loud.
Jack's Pokemon who were released earlier all shook their heads. They liked the girl that travelled around with their trainer.
"There was so much I should told them, all of them and my Pokemon. I should have told Psyduck that even though I mocked him all the time, he was one of me best Pokemon and one of my best friends.
Its funny, Pysduck in his own dim-witted way always came through for me in the end. I never acted on it but I knew that I could rely on him.
That's what a true friend is, someone you know will be there to the very end .My friends were always there for me, I just never realised it till it was too late. Sometimes I wanted to be independent and go where I wanted and not to have answer to them. When I went somewhere on my own they were concerned for me. I thought that they thought I was a weak little girlie who needed the big tough guys to protect her, but they knew that I was no push over or weak. They just wanted to help and no matter how much I fought with them, it didn't change anything. I was such an idiot, I took it for granted and now it's lost forever "
Warm tears started streaming down her face and her large eyes wobbled. Jack felt the guilt and regret and misery he often felt, when she cried.
"This is all my fault and I know. If only I hadn't been so impulsive. All you wanted to do was go back to the stadium but no I had to know about Ash Ketchum.
Then I was so spineless. I couldn't bear to deal with what the people would think when I arrived back into town with the missing girl the police were searching for so we avoided towns and we got so lost and so far away from them that you couldn't go back. I had no right to do any of this, I should have jut rescued you, brought you back to the stadium and I know I am going to regret it for the rest of my life" Jack responded.
"Words, Jack. They're all words. Nothing more. The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention"
"But I know they didn't forget you, no one could. I mean the one thing that I don't regret about this is that I met you. I know you hate me but I want you to know that if Ash isn't still looking for you which would the dumbest move in history its his loss. Anyone who knew you know that there's something really special inside of you that no other human has and people search they're whole lives trying to find so if these guys are as great as you say, you'll meet up with them again as long as you go the distance"
Misty looked at him quizzically but she looked less downhearted.
" I mean you told me yourself, you gotta work on things. Nothing in this life is dropped into your hands. You gotta keep trying and then try some more. You have to the distance which I assume that's what you want"
Misty gave him a watery smile. She dried her eyes and washed her face with some water from the crystal water. She whipped her head out quickly and small droplets of water sprayed out, her hair flapped behind almost giving the effect of a fire. She smiled sincerely at Jack.
"Lets go kidnapper boy"
"So what was Ash like?" Jack inquired. The Rapidash named ferno trotted up to them.
Misty climbed up on Ferno as always.
"Like no one I ever met before. At times he could be dense and I always teased him because of it but that was because I knew he could make it just needed a little shove every now and again. When addressing each other all we wanted to do was argue more so than talk to Brock or Tracey or anyone else, just to fight. A lot of people had theories on that like Danny and Nurse Joy, Well everyone had a theory and me and Ash. Melody Team Rocket, Tracey, Nurse Joy Danny, My sisters .The list goes on and admittedly Ash didn't drive me as crazy as I acted. He had this way with Pokemon that they always trusted him and Pokemon just adored him. Don't get me started on his appetite though. But he never would ignore anyone in need. He helped everyone around him. He had a kind heart and he never lost faith in what he believed. He would make a sacrifice if he thought it was the right thing to do. A great Pokemon trainer, there was no denying no matter how much I tried, it was his motivation. His determination led him places that I wouldn't have dreamed of. Nothing was ever worth it for his dream. That's something I liked about him. And his courage, He was impulsive but his courage was something else. He would go to these incredible lengths for Pikachu or any of his pokemon. Ok maybe I had a little thing for him when we were younger but he was so adorable, he had these really cute brown eyes and you could only see how gorgeous they were when he cried. He always so vunerable when he was crying, I'd just want to hug him and he had this bright grin and he had this messy hair that scruffy but I just wanted to hug him so much, "
Jack rode along his Rhyhorn, listening to Misty ramble on. What was obvious to him seemed to be the one thing she never mentioned. He was glad that she had cheered and now after a while they were going to be at a town. He was only half listening to her though. Misty was so proud of Ash it was inspirational almost. Somewhere through her chatting she had released the Pokemon she was raising at the moment because they would like the lake. She had become a better trainer since the incident with Jack. Now she was tough water Pokemon trainer. A huge sea monster burst though the surface of the water.
"Gyrados" it roared.
A Dewgong swam along side the Gyrados. A Tentacool bobbed through the water and a Jigglypuff sat on top of the Rapidash with Misty. This one however wasn't a prima donna like another Jigglypuff she knew. Jack's Pokemon were the Rapidash that Misty was on, the Rhyhorn that Jack sat on. Fearow, Sandshrew, Oddish and a Growlithe he had caught that day. Misty always held Jigglypuff in her arms whenever they travelled on Rapidash. Rapidash was one the fastest Pokemon there was and Jigglypuff's short little legs could never keep up. Most of time the group of two teens and a whole lot of Pokemon travelled on foot, which meant that Jigglypuff would scurry around and play with the others. Jigglypuff was sort of young at heart Jigglypuff but then all the Pokemon just loved playing around and messing with each other. As far as Pokemon trainers went these Pokemon didn't do badly at all. Misty and Jack were reluctant to keep they're Pokemon in the Pokeball's when they were walking through the forest, which they were most of the time since they tried to avoid towns as much. That proved a difficult task.
So with Misty bubbling away about Ash, not really caring about whether anyone was listening to her. Jack half listening to her and thinking up of plans and dreaming and the Pokemon springing around, the group was making they're way towards a town. They just didn't know it.
A large bus painted in the colours red, white and blue drove down the road. Brock pressed his face against the glass and fogged up the glass, then wiped it away.
"Look, the dancer are coming out of school, in they're Lycra pants and sports bra's" he gushed, his eyes darting from each female to the next.
The girls turned around and saw the bus and began waving and shouting
"Hi girls" he drooled waving back.
"Brock, leave the pretty girls long, though they are really pretty" Tracey said, looking at the girls.
"We would have to be stopped at a traffic lights on the same street as that dance academy" the busdriver groaned.
"Oh Cee cee you know my heart always belongs to you" Brock called back. It had been specifically asked by Brock that the busdriver be a pretty female busdriver and so they ended up with the dark purple, shoulderlenght haired Cee Cee.
"Brock your such a charmer" Cee cee joked, she found Brock amusing and liked her job.
Being Ash Ketchum's tour bus driver gave her the privilege of being a non-uniform bus driver and it was so strange having people cheering the second the bus went by or stopped.
"Nooooooooo" Brock and Tracey {surprisingly} howled as the girls they were so intently watching shrank the further away they got from the studio.
"Maybe you could make a sketch" Brock suggested.
"Brock I am a serious Pokemon watcher "Tracey cried, indignantly.
"I have photographic memory of them,"
"I see, well who I am to waste your gift instead of encouraging it, describe them"
Brock grinned as Tracey whipped out his notebook. Brock was about to open his mouth to describe when he saw Ash sitting in a chair staring at book, more gazing at the book. He looked depressed and was away in his own world. He didn't even notice the pretty girls, which to Brock seemed like a disastrous tragic turn of events when a guy didn't even see the hot girls a few feet away.
"Hey Ash what are you looking at?" he asked looking over Ash's shoulder.
"Hey Brock climb over my seats again and I will hurl you out of the front screen of the bus got it?" Cee cee called back to him.
Brock looked sheepish and apologised. It was true that he had climbed over to a number of seats to get to the seat directly behind the Ash's seat.
"Just thinking" Ash answered.
Tracey who had walked along the aisle, knowing how sensitive Cee cee was about her beloved bus and in her defence she did keep it in pristine condition.
They looked down at the photograph in the album. It was a group photo of the four of them on the morning on that faithful day Ash won the master's league.
"Wow, I guess I kind of forgot how pretty her eyes were. I never knew what a great friend she was till... " Brock trailed off
"Its so weird to think of it but I was talking to her like two minutes before she was gone, I had no idea something bad would happen. It was like one o those things you'd hear about but never actually happen to you or anyone you knew"
Ash remained silent and stared down at her.
"I was so so stupid. I could have easily just grabbed her hand and pulled her with me but I didn't think. A mistake I will pay for the rest of my life. I mean there is no other girl like her, no other girl can even hold a candle to her. She said there was something she wanted to tell me and now I'll never know. I was so selfish, I was worried but then Natasha asked me a question and instead of looking for her immediately I get caught up in the interview. I'd do anything to have her back here playing with Togapi, or chatting away, or writing a letter to her sisters or even mocking me. Her mocking always drove me to be the best. I remember watching her smile when she was with Togapi or any of her Pokemon and all I wanted was for her to smile like that for me. I wanted to impress her. I remember I nearly got the three of us killed by a pink Rhyhorn to impress Misty and Pikachu. Though I didn't really have anything to prove to Pikachu"
"So that's what you were doing when we were on Pinkum Island"
"She was so sweet and caring. She went out of her way to make sure I didn't get in trouble and she was funny. The amount of the times she brought be back to earth with one of her one liners. She was almost as stubborn as I was. But she had a good heart. She was good trainer too You know I would give up this whole Pokemon Master thing if I could just give her one hug. She was pretty too, her big blueish green eyes and her sweet smile. You know there's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do just to have my friend back."
"Um Ash you did know that you had a crush on her right?" Tracy asked.
"Maybe a little one "
"Yeah like the size of the moon small "Brock muttered to Tracey.
"We'll find her You always believed in destiny. Someone has interfered with Destiny but you can't keep it of track forever. She'll turn up. She has to and until that day that we see that tall girl with fiery hair with blueish green eyes, we know that we still have a job to do" Tracey told him.
"Yeah Ash. Misty was one girl and look at all the difference she has made so why can't even just one of us make that much of a difference in finding her but one person can make a difference"
"Wasn't that the slogan of a movie. 'One Person can make a difference'. It sounds familiar?" Ash asked
"It does actually sound like I've heard it before" Tracey agreed.
"Well if it was I'm pretty sure I had nothing to do with it, " Brock said, uncertainly.
The three guys stood around thinking about this for a while.
A loud crying snapped them back to attention. Togapi who was still a baby. Brock had a theory that it was because Togapi didn't have its Mommy that it never evolved. The guys minded Misty's Pokemon too. They knew how much she cared for them and because she hadn't take her backpack it meant that she didn't leave on her own accord. Starmie, Psyuck, Staryu,Togapi and Goldeen were down at this little paddling pool at the back of the bus and now Togapi was hungry. Brock got up and pulled out his bag of Poke chow.
"Feeding time" he called. Marril, Scyther, Venonat, Squirtle, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Pidgeot. As released his Charizard who as hungry.
"ASH BE CAREFUL OF THAT THING WILL YA!!!!!!" Cee Cee screamed from the front of the bus. Charizard was behaved because of it being dinnertime.
"I'll feed Onix and Geodude when we reach the next town."Brock declared watching the Pokemon eat. He released his Golbat and his Vulpix. They began eating however he watched in sadness as some of the Water Pokemon refused to eat.
"You guys should get down and look at this" Brock called out.
Tracy and Ash headed down the aisle to the back of the bus. Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen and even Psyuck wouldn't eat their food. They had grown weaker and no matter how much any of the humans tried to train them, it didn't matter they're spirits just weren't in it .It had begun to show too.
The jewel in the centre of Staryu and Starmie no longer gleamed like they used.
Psyduck had grown paler and his seemed less bright and Goldeen's beautiful orange fins were now pale too. In fact they all looked paler. Togapi too looked sad but he ate his food. He wasn't quite the cheerful Pokemon he used to be.
"C'mon you guys you have to eat something. We'll find her and Misty won't be pleased if she thinks we never trained up her Pokemon" Ash answered. Pikachu walked over to them eating some of Brock's specially made Pika food. He nibbled at it and talked in fluent Pikachu talk. He nodded his head afterwards. The Pokemon looked at doubtfully him but ate they're food. It was still they're lack in spirits making them weak though and nobody but Misty could cure that.
They passed a sign saying the name of the town they were going to.
"Baldour Town?" Ash asked.
"Yep Baldour town, one of the nicest towns around. I figured we'd take a rest for a while since you don't have to do this whole battling trainer at all the gyms today "Cee cee answered.
"No they changed it, since I couldn't do it all in one day. It goes on for a couple of days" Ash replied.
"Baldour town? Isn't that town renowned for it buildings and recreational feature's?" Tracey asked.
"Sure is. You can go bowling, catch a movie stay at a hotel. Baldour is one of the nicest places around. I love going there and I thought you might too"
"Sure. Who knows what may happen" Ash answered
Misty was tired and she was resting her head on Rapidash.
Rapidash's flames only hurt a person when he wanted them to. In fact all the Pokemon were pretty tired so they had been recalled back into they're Pokeballs. Misty lifted her head when she saw a tall building ahead of them. Away head of them they stopped when thy came to the peak of he hill. Below them North of the end of the hill .A town stood tall. Skyscrapers stretched up high. It was an active own.
"Hey Jack, what's that place?" she asked.
"That's Baldour Town. The no.1 town in the name of fun. We can just chill and mess around and have fun. It's a town known for it's tall buildings" Jack answered, proudly.
This had been his surprise to Misty and it was working like a charm.
"Really that's so great" Misty answered, enthusiastically.
The two Pokemon began towards the town with the top human on their back
To Be Continued
Ok so please don't go too hard on me. I worked really hard on this chapter, trying to make it sweet and romantic for the people who said that it wasn't nearly sweet. I am trying but since my last story didn't do so good. Please don't flame me. I never pretended to be a good author or anything at least I know where I stand. And anyone who doesn't think I'm a good author and thought my story sucked. Save yourself the effort and don't even bother reviewing. Please though send my positive reviews.

Misty was tired and she was resting her head on Rapidash.
Rapidash's flames only hurt a person when he wanted them to. In fact all the Pokemon were pretty tired so they had been recalled back into they're Pokeballs. Misty lifted her head when she saw a tall building ahead of them. Away head of them they stopped when thy came to the peak of he hill. Below them North of the end of the hill .A town stood tall. Skyscrapers stretched up high. It was an active own.
"Hey Jack, what's that place?" she asked.
"That's Baldour Town. The no.1 town in the name of fun. We can just chill and mess around and have fun. It's a town known for it's tall buildings" Jack answered, proudly.

Ok so please don't go too hard on me. I worked really hard on this chapter, trying to make it sweet and romantic for the people who said that it wasn't nearly sweet. I am trying but since my last story didn't do so good. Please don't flame me. I never pretended to be a good author or anything at least I know where I stand. And anyone who doesn't think I'm a good author and thought my story sucked. Save yourself the effort and don't even bother reviewing. Please though send my positive reviews.
