From then on, Misty believed that Ash visited her shop for "espionage". And much to Misty's disliking, she kept on seeing Ash everywhere she went. Then, one day at the Cerulean H&H Bagel shop, when Misty just couldn't take seeing Ash, she went up next to him casually.
"Hey Ketchum," said Misty.
"Hey Misty," replied Ash as he took a few bagels from the Cheez Bagel bin, but then stopped, "How'd you know 'bout my last name?"
"Just 'cause some little birdies of mine told me so… and also that you're the "Head" of that Ketchup shop."
"Eh…" Hesitated Ash, "Wha – What about it?"
Misty stepped dangerously closer to Ash, "Oh, nothing much, just that…" she then suddenly exploded infront of his face, "My store is LOSING money! Thanks to your shop!"
Ash looked a little taken aback from Misty's sudden explosion, but then answered, as if nothing happened, "Well that's probably because our company happens to be a level better than yours…"
"What was that?"
"I said we're better than you!" said Ash with a triumphant smile.
"Why you little IMATURE BRAT!" and with that, Misty stormed out of the bagel shop.
Ash just stood with a small smirk on his face and then yelled, "And my store's name's Ketchum! For your information!"
Then Misty suddenly ran back in the shop and yelled in his face, "You are NOT allowed in my shop ANYMORE! Never coming back! You hear?!"
"Well why would I want to go back anyway?!" shouted Ash.
"I don't know… maybe because you're too scared to receive a fist in your eye!" And with that, Misty stormed out of the shop once again. *phew, what a hot argument that was!*
That night, Misty took out her laptop and started to type.

What happens to me when I'm provoked is that I get tongue-tied. My mind goes blank. Then... then I spend all night tossing and turning trying to figure out what I should have said. What should I have said, for example, to the bottom dweller who recently belittled my existence. Even now, days later, I can't figure it out…
Misty sighed.

Do you ever feel you become the worst version of yourself? That a Pandora's Box of all the secret hateful parts -- your arrogance, your spite, your condescension -- has sprung open. Someone provokes you, and instead of just smiling and moving on, you zing them. Hi, it's Mr. Nasty. But I bet you've got no idea of what the heck I'm talking about ^_^.
Ash closed his laptop and petted his pikachu as it purred in pure delite.

During the week, Ash and Misty always bumped into each other. Each time they did, they'd either give each other the dirtiest looks possible, start an argument, or completely ignore each other. One day, Misty was at the town's Food Shop paying her food at the cashier. She took out her credit card (any gal's magic wand 4 shoppin') and gave it to the cashier. The cashier took a look at it and gave it back to Misty.
Taking her card back, Misty said, "What's wrong? Something wrong with my card or do you want my Air Miles card, I can give you that to."
"No miss," said the cashier, "We don't accept credit cards in this shop. Sorry."
"What? What kind of store doesn't accept credit cards? That's crazy. Look girl, I don't have lots of money, so please – "
"I'm sorry ma'am, but this store just doesn't take credit cards!" said the cashier.
"I'm using my credit card whether you like it or not!" Misty was getting impatient.
People from behind the line were beginning to be impatient and protests were heard.
"Look lady! Pay up and get out of here already! Don't you have enough money?!" yelled one of the customers in the lineup.
"Well "Mister"! I actually DON'T!"
"Line 5… calling line 5!" said the cashier in her telephone thingy and another cashier, a man, stood next to the first cashier.
"What's the prob?"
"This lady here won't pay up!"
"This lady here won't let me use my damn credit card!" shouted Misty.
"Look miss – "
"No you look here you – "
"Whoa, hold it!" said a man as he budded the line and went to the front where the conflict was.
"Ash? What the heck do you think you're doing here?" asked a shocked Misty.
"Helping you what do you think?" Turning back to the two clients, he said, "Please excuse this lady. She's got a tough life and… you know what I mean don't you?"
The cashiers gave him a dirty look.
"Look, I'll make it all up for you. I'll pay double of your amount and we'll bet you two love birds will have a happy life with it!" Ash said quickly as he paid up Misty's grocery. Misty just stood there dumbfounded. As the two walked quickly out of the shop, Misty said:
"What was that all about?"
"I don't know. You were holding the line so I did have to do something about it, didn't I?"
"Ugh, look Ash, forget about that. Please."
"Sure, whatever."
The two turned away from each other and walked their separate directions.
