I SHOULD be doing my Language Arts homework...

Right now, I'm using my dad's computer, because my computer is near its' death.

I don't own Pokemon.

Chapter 7 of "Mistakes Will Happen"
"Taking in the Facts"
~~

Brock, Selene, Jesse, and James ran down the empty beach. Brock and Selene relied on Jesse
and James's directions. Not a smart thing to do...

"Are you sure this is the right way Jesse?" James asked for the umpteenth time.

"Yes, now shut up before I hurt you!" Jesse replied, earning a sweatdrop from Brock and
Selene.

'Misty, Ash, hold on! We're coming, slowly, but surely, we are coming!' Brock thought.

~~

Ash looked out the cell window, trying to figure out what time it was. Aurora and Pikachu
had longed curled up near Misty and fell asleep. Growlean was keeping silent watch for
trouble. Misty looked so helpless asleep, that if possible, Ash was falling more in love
with her.

"Ash," Misty whispered, obviously in a nightmare. Misty then said his name louder, making it
more obvious.

"Misty, wake up! Come on, Mist, wake up!" Ash said, gently shaking her. Growlean, alerted
by her mistress' thrashing, began to luck Misty's cheek.

"Growl thithe! [Misty! Wake up!]" Growlean said, shaking Misty's head with her nose.

"NO! DON'T LEAVE ME ASH!" Misty said, thrashing even harder.

Ash shook her harder, "MISTY!"

Misty shot up from her sleeping place like a rocket (AN- No pun intended). Ash first
noticed the scared look in her eyes as she started to breathe heavier.

"Ash!" Misty said, launching herself onto Ash.

First taken aback by this, Ash looked at Misty, "Shhh, Misty. It's okay, I'm here."

Only when Ash felt wet, warm tears soak into his shirt did he realize Misty was crying.
Whatever the dream she had was, it scared her to death.

"Come on, Mist, you're stronger than whatever that dream was, it's okay, take it easy."

"Oh Ash! It was horrible! I had this dream that someone kidnapped me, and you came to
save me, and, and, and..."

Ash had never seen Misty this distraught; it scared him to think of what this dream was.

"Misty, you're awake now, and I'm here. Nothing happened, and we're both safe for
the moment. Now take it easy, where's the tough girl I know so well? Hmm?"

Misty slowly stopped crying, bringing some relief to Ash.

"Now, Mist, wanna tell me about this dream of yours?" Ash asked, softly.

"You called me Mist, I like that," Misty said, smiling softly.

Ash gave her a lopsided grin, "I guess I did."

Misty smiled again, "Still wanna know about the dream?"

Ash nodded, "I would like to know what caused you to cry like that Misty, I mean, you're
such a strong person and all."

"You're right, after all, I did just spend some time sobbing into your now
damp shirt, so here goes. I was kidnapped, and you came to rescue me. Right before
you got to me, they, I don't know who they are, they shot you! I tried to get to you, but they
just held me back! I tried calling out your name, but you didn't answer. Then I woke up."
Misty said, looking towards the floor.

Ash tipped her chin towards him, "I'm safe, you're safe, well, as safe as we could be right
now, but the point is we're both okay. Just breathe."

Misty nodded, blushing from her and Ash's close contact, 'This is nice. Ash is so sweet.
I like this,' she thought to herself. Gently, she broke away, stroking Growlean's head
softly.

Growlean looked to her mistress, and then started to cuddle with her, making Misty smile some.
Contented after making Misty smiled, Growlean resumed her watch at the cell door.

"Are you okay?" Ash asked.

Misty nodded.

"It's almost dawn," Ash noted.

~~

"It's almost dawn, can't we take a rest, please?" James whined.

Selene turned her head to James with a sharp glare. James sighed and tried to keep up with
everybody else.

"Look!" Brock said, noticing a building up ahead. The building was in the middle of nowhere, a
good hiding place if any.

Jesse stopped to catch her breath, "Okay, let's take a break for right now, and put together a
plan."

James smiled happily as he sunk to the ground like rock in water.

~~
Meanwhile...

Misty and Ash had gotten 'breakfast.' An apple, a piece of bread, and a glass of water.
Yummy, right?

The Pokemon each had gotten more food than the trainers, the Rocket that had brought them food
said "The Pokemon need to be in better condition than their trainers."

Cassidy appeared soon after everyone completed eating, "Come on girl, and bring that Vaporeon
with you! You're back to training the Boss's Pokemon."

Misty and Aurora both got up and headed for the door, Growlean tried to follow her mistress,
but Cassidy slammed the door almost on the Puppy Pokemon's nose.

Growlean glared at the door for a minute, before sitting down and whimpering softly.

"Growlithe, take it easy. Misty will be okay, Aurora won't let anything happen to her." Ash
said, more to comfort himself than Growlean.

Ash gazed out of the cell door, 'Misty, for my sake, please stay safe. I need you more than
you will ever know.'

~~
For the Moment...

Let's visit our 'rescuers', shall we?

"Jesse, do you have any idea on how to get in there?" Selene asked.

"Well, not really..." Jesse said, dropping off.

"Well, then think of something! Misty is your friend too! Do not forget that!" Selene said,
taking her rage out on Misty.

Those words brought back memories for Jesse...

~~
Flashback...

"Here's a place for us to settle down Jess," James said, looking around the island.

"I like this place," Meowth said.

"Jesse, James? What are you doing here?" Misty asked, her new Vaporeon at her side.

"Look here twerp! We quit Team Rocket, we are just here to start over again!" Jesse said.

Misty nodded, "That's why I'm here. Ash and I had a fight, and I left. I came here, to start
over."

Jesse nodded, "I see. Well, since we are both on the same side, how about a truce?"

Misty nodded, "Deal."

"Great, we gotta get going, so bye, twerp" Jesse said, grabbing James hand.

"It's Misty, and if you ever need a friend let me know! I'll be there, bye!" Misty said,
taking off to the Pokemon Center.

James looked to Jesse, and then to the retreating form of Misty, "We actually have a friend."

Jesse smiled, "Yeah, it's kinda nice. I wonder why she left after that fight though."

End Flashback...

~~

"James, do you remember the ventilating ducks at all?" Jesse asked.

"Kind of, I could probably remember the rest of it as we go along," James said, catching
on to Jesse's plan.

Jesse smiled, "Great! I have an idea! Everybody huddle."

~~

Giovanni watched Misty training his Pokemon.

"She has some ability with water Pokemon, doesn't she, Boss?" a nameless Rocket said.

Giovanni nodded, "Yes she does. Quite interesting isn't it?"

The nameless Rocket (An- I need a name! Help!) grinned, "If you say so Boss."

"Hmm, I do."

~~

Misty frowned. She could feel Giovanni eyes watching her every move. Aurora was a great
help, and the Pokemon really seemed to like her. Of course, they would probably like a heard
of stampeding Tauros than Giovanni, but still.

"One more time! Water Gun everyone!" Misty commanded.

The Pokemon did her bidding without hesitation.

Misty smiled, "Great job."

Giovanni walked over to Misty, "Good job girl. You and your friend can have some extra
food tonight."

Giovanni signaled the nameless Rocket over and he escorted Misty and Growlean back to their
cell.

~~

That seems like a good as place to any to stop.

I'm open to suggestions on what I should name my 'nameless Rocket.' Any help would be
appreciated.

PLEASE REVIEW!

Peace, Love, and the Moon!
