"Vaporeon! Water Gun!" Lance called as Vaporeon let loose a stream of water towards the Pikachu. It hit dead on. The Pikachu was sent flying back into a stall.
"Pika-pi" it panted as it got back up and limped towards Lance.
"Damnit! Vaporeon, Tackle attack!!" Vaporeon went flying towards Pikachu. Pikachu looked up and smacked head first into the Vaporeon. Sent him flying once more. This time, the pikachu didn't get up. Lance turned towards the girl.
"I suggest you get your Pokemon" he stated.
"It's not mine" She shook her head.
"Then who's is it?"
"It's yours" she sighed as she went and picked up the Pikachu. Lance watched her. She walked back over towards Lance.
~*~
"He's your Pokemon, the first one you ever got" Misty explained, "From Prof. Oak, You've got to remember!". The boy looked down at the panting Pikachu. He looked back up at Misty and shook his head. He began to walk off.
"Hey! Wait!" Misty ran after him.
~*~
Lance felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned back. The young girl was standing there. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Please! you've got t.." she was cut off by Lance placing his hand on her mouth. He shook his head.
"Please, Don't" he sighed. His hand fell from her cheek as he turned and left, his Vaporeon hot on his heals.
~*~
Misty went to go after him but something grabbed her jeans. She turned back to find the young girl she saw before. The little girl looked sad.
"You've come to take my brother away, haven't you" she was almost in tears. Misty sighed,
"It doesn't look like he wants to go" Misty explained. The little girl grabbed Misty's hand and lead her over to Brock. She grabbed the Pikachu from Misty and gave it to Brock. Then she grabbed Misty again and lead her away from the crowd.
"Where are we going?" Misty asked.
"I have to show you something" the little girl explained.
They walked until they got to a lake.
"Wha.." Misty was cut off by the little girl hushing her.
"Shh! Look through there" she pointed to a group of bushes. Misty walked up to them and looked through. She saw that boy. He was sitting on the edge of the lake, tossing stones in. His Vaporeon sitting right next to him.
"What's he doing" Misty whispered to the girl.
"This is his special place. Him and I used to come here allot when he wanted to talk to me or just to spend time with me" she explained, "He used to have nightmares all the time, we'd come here and he'd tell me about them. He said they were about his life before his accident" she looked up at Misty, "And he described a girl, with firey red hair all the time". Misty looked back at the boy. He was unwrapping one of his arms. It reviled nasty scars. they looked like acid burns.
"Most of his nightmares were about those scars" the little girl looked at the boy, "He's only just stopped haveing them"
"Why are you doing this?" Misty asked the girl,
"Because, I wanna see if you really want to take him away from me" she looked up at her.
"Oh! I don't want to take him away, but, I miss him allot" Misty said with tears in her eyes.
"You like him, don't you?". Misty blushed. The little girl smiled and grabbed Misty again and pulled her to another place. She walked over to a rock and pushed it over. Misty walked over and saw she was un-burrieing something. She pulled up a small box.
"In here is something that will remind hi,m of who he is" the little girl gave it to Misty and ran off crying.
"Oh! Wait!" but it was too late. She looked back at the box and opened it up. There was a clothe, but it was wrapped around something. She unwrapped it and found a Poke-dex. She opened it. It buzzed and clicked for a moment, then the screen lit up. A familiar picture came across the screen,
"This Poke-dex be-longs....Ash....chum, of Pal..t Town" Misty sighed.
"It's broken"
"What is?" a voice came from behind her. She swung around to find Vaporeon right in her face. She looked up, The boy was standing there.
"Oh, it's you" she glared at him as she got up.
"Hey! Don't you get mad with me! Your the one who came allong and decided to screw up MY life!" he snapped.
"Vaporeon!!" His Pokemon added.
"The trueth hurts, doesn't it!" she snapped back. The boy sighed and turned around to walk away.
"That's right!" Misty snapped, "Go ON! Walk away from me, Just like you walked away from your past!" she snapped. The boy froze.
"Look!" the boy begun,
"MISTY!!" an older boy came running from the bushes. Misty swung around,
"Brock! What's wrong?" she asked,
~*~
Brock? Lance thought. The boy stopped and tryed to catch his breath,
"It-It's Team Rocket" he panted.
Team Rocket!
"Team Rocket! What are they doing here!" The girl stated,
"They've got Pikachu!" he sighed.
"Well! Where are they!" she snapped.
"In the forest here somewhere" he stated.
"Well, come on! We have to go help him!" she stated as she began to run into the forest. "What the!" she was stopped by the Vaporeon. She looked back at Lance,
"What do you want!" she snapped
"You'll get lost in there" he stated.
~*~
"So! then what do you propose we do!" Misty snapped
"Let me help" the boy smiled.
"Why do you want to help?" she questioned.
"Well" the boy started as he walked over to her, "I know the forest better than either of you.." he paused,
"And?" Misty continued.
"Well..He's my Pokemon isn't he?" He smiled.
"Ash your..!" the boy stopped her,
"Na ah! It's still Lance..." he stated. Misty sighed,
"For now" he finished. Misty's face lit up as she looked at him. He was grinning like he used to, like she remembers him.
"Come on!" he called as all three went into the forest in search for Pikachu..
