I don't own them I never claimed to Please don't sue me.
Okay this is in response to a challenge by Vidalark, I also must say I have never met anyone who is blind so my portrayal will probably be inaccurate I sincerely hope I do not offend anyone with this.
Pokemon A Test of Character: Part 4
Misty was seated on the porch of the Oak family House watching Gary and Ash argue over their last match. 'Well I could have told him he would loose I still don't see why he doesn't just accept that and move on to something easier.' she thought to herself then scowled as she noticed that May was making her way over toward the feuding boys with a small smile on her face. 'I don't know why but I don't like her.' Misty thought ignoring the tiny voice that said she was jealous of May's closeness with Ash.
"Your cheating your deliberately taking advantage of the fact I can't see." Ash yelled accusingly in the direction Gary's voice was coming from. Gary meanwhile was furious here he was being nice and helping Ash when he should have been training for the pokemon league only to get accused of cheating.
"Listen loser just cause you can't cut it doesn't mean I'm cheating." Gary smirked as Ash's face contorted with Rage. "I mean I'm doing like you asked and battling like I would any opponent find their weakness and exploit it." Ash was standing there fuming.
"Enough you two." May said as she approached both jumped and turned to face her. "Gary is right Ash most opponents wouldn't hesitate to exploit the fact that you are blind." Ash looked down and Gary had a smirk on his face. "Wipe that expression off your face Gary I thought we all agreed to take it slow so Ash can have time to adapt?" Gary looked down he had agreed to taking it slow so Ash could learn to deal with his handicap.
"Your right." the two said in unison before pointedly ignoring each other. May just chuckled and took a moment to take the two of them in. Both Gary and Ash still dressed as they had back when she had baby-sat the two of them and both still tended to sulk when they were reprimanded.
"Okay time's up anyway Ash Misty is here to walk back to your home with you since Gary has to go help grandpa." she noticed how Ash expression seemed to droop a little more at that comment but decided not to ask.
As Ash and Misty were walking back following the same route Ash had followed yesterday Ash decided to attempt to talk things out with Misty. "So, Misty how do you think my first day of training went?" Ash asked hoping that Misty would atleast be civil this time they hadn't really talked since that day in his room.
"It went like I expected it would." Misty said turning to see Ash's face fall she almost took back what she said but decided she had to be firm supporting this fantasy of his would only hurt him more in the long run. "I mean come on Ash what did you expect I mean you weren't that great a trainer to begin with but now your blind just accept the fact you'll never be a pokemon master and find something easier."
Ash walked along silently behind her silently crying and hoping Misty would turn around and comment on it. Misty meanwhile was to ashamed to turn around 'he will thank me for this later.' she thought to herself. The walked in silence for the rest of the trip back to Ash's house.
That night as Ash, Misty, Brock were sitting at the table while Mrs. Ketchum was going around serving food to everyone. When she reached Ash and noticed his depressed expression she asked "Did everything go okay today honey?" she asked.
Ash looked up with a weak smile. "It went fine mom." he said Mrs. Ketchum was about to press further but she decided that Ash would tell her when he was ready. The rest of the meal passed in silence and as soon as it was over Ash said "I'm going to go get some sleep it's been a long day." he said goodnight to everyone and then headed upstairs to his room.
Pikachu watched a concerned expression on it's face as Ash tossed and turned in his sleep mumbling about how Misty was right he couldn't do anything. "Pika pi" Pikachu said finally deciding enough was a enough and shaking his owner awake. Ash set bolt upright before laying back down and curling into a small ball. Pikachu moved in closer only to find Ash was crying. "Pika pi kachu?"
"I just want to know why she thinks I can't do it why she has always thought I couldn't do it." Ash said before turning over so his back was to Pikachu. Pikachu concerned for his trainer jumped over him to the other side of the bed only to find Ash once more asleep. Pikachu wiped the tears off his owners face and sighed wondering how it could help.
To Be Continued......
Again this chapter like the last could be left alone. Which is good it was the last chapter I finished youc an read the old author notes below anyway. I will begin work on the long long long overdue fifth chapter of this fic. Since I'm bored out of my mind tonight I may actually finish some more chapters of my fics.
Okay I've had this much finished for a while now and well I'm drawing a complete blank when it comes to working on my fics. So I have finally decided to post what I have already completed and just do a longer chapter next time to make up for it.
