Brief Explanation of Story: Ash and Misty are a couple, but they might sound a little ditzy, and somewhat mushy. However, this is part of the story, because it is mostly based on Brock this time.
Have you ever thought that the 'Ghost on Maiden's Peak' legend may have been true? Read on…
***
'For two thousand years a painting of the 'Maiden of the Peak' has hung in the shrine of the maiden, which was built near the cliffs edge off the coast of Vermilion.
Each year it is removed from that shrine, and displayed for the public during the 'end of year festival'.
The 'Fair and beautiful Maiden' with a mythical appearance, was in love with a brave and handsome young man…
However, he left her and sailed away to fight a war.
She waited for him a very long time, hoping to see his ship on the horizon.
Her true love never returned...
Nevertheless; she still waited and waited never breaking her promise.
Until one day, her body was turned to stone, just like the cliff on which she stood upon.
To this very day, she still waits for her one true love to return.'

"Takeshi…"
"Takeshi…"
"Takeshi…"
The beautiful angelic voice called. The whispers echoing into every corner of his mind.
"Takeshi…I will wait for you forever… come back to me…" The final whisper breathed.
Brock jolted up right gasping for breath. 'What was that?'
"It was just a dream, Brock-o… but I have to know who she is…" He breathed to himself.

~FLASHBACK~
"Takeshi, I love you."
"I love you too Suki."
Wrapping his arms around her dainty waist and pulling her into a passion filled kissed.
Their last kiss.
The sound of horns in the background announced it was time. As he let her go and looked down at his angel of life. Her beautiful blue eyes shimmered with tears and glistened as the sun reflected from them. Gently he touched her cheek. "Takeshi, promise me something?" she whispered into his ear.
"Anything Suki." He replied softly.
"What ever happens to us, we have to find each other again. I love you always."
"I promise, one day we will be together again. Forever."
Letting her beloved depart from her and watching him leave from the cliff edge, she started to sob. Praying they would meet again.
A promise never to be broken.

My days stretch long into the heat
As the sun brightens my defeat
My lips are chapped, they're parched and dry (parched and dry)
My thirst it builds, with every day gone by....

"Morning Brock, sleep well?" Misty asked her older friend. Hoping he would have calmed down by now.
Brock just simply grunted in reply.
"Hey Brock-o! Morning." Ash chimed in trying to lighten the mood.
Looking at one another and back to where Brock now sat with a goofy looking grin plastered all over his face. Simply shrugged it off and carried on with whispering and giggling in each other's arms.
Brock looked over to his younger teenage friends. He may have been a little too harsh on them yesterday, but they had been sucking face and saying 'I love you' for hours. Maybe, he was jealous. He had been happy for them when they finally admitted their feelings for the other, but that had been at first. Now, he had been having these dreams or flashbacks, he could not help but snap at their happiness and bother about his own loneliness.

"ASH! It kind of makes me self-conscious of my ass if you keep walking behind me constantly!" Misty broke the ominous silence of the day disappearing behind the large forest the trio had just packed up to leave from.
"But it's so irresistible to me. You know that…" Her boyfriend cooed as he made the cutest looking face to suck-up.
"Oh, so you like Jessica Simpson, (**A/N Jessica Simpson is a singer…and the joke was the 'irresistible'…like the song…) eh?!? Pervert!" She spat out.
"Where the hell did that come from?" Ash was stunned she'd even come up with that, since she was the obvious smart one out of the two of them. "I don't listen to Pop music! I don't even know who she is!" He had to defend himself quickly for fear he'd lose Misty by two more strikes.
"Jessica Simpson is the one and only most beautiful girl in Pop music history! More genuine than Britney Spears' body ever will be! I for one, would do anything to protect her in any way, shape, or—" Brock noticed the item were looking at him as if he had two heads. "Form. I'll just shut up now."
"Well," She voiced folding her lengthy arms across her breasts. "That was a pretty good description for you, smart aleck!"
"WHY, may I ask that you even brought her up? You know that you're the only woman for me and that I'd never look into another woman's eyes in a pleasing way the way I gaze into yours!"
Brock pondered, 'Woman?? She doesn't even have what it takes. Maybe later in life, but Jesus, what is this kid thinking? He better lighten up because there is no way he knows what love is;' Then he recalled his omen, or his insight-like dream he had for the last couple of nights. 'Or how it feels to be in love. I know I haven't, but I feel that I have had some sort of solid connection with a young woman before…I just can't remember. '
"Oh, Ash. And you're the only one for me." Misty just had to say that to make her guy's day all sunshine and peachy.
Brock's day got even cloudier as his two companions came in the rink for another round of tonsil hockey. He was about to chuck up his omelet and bagel he had devoured from today's breakfast. It was too pleasing to the stomach to be spewed all over the edge of the dirt road.
- It was getting way out of hand. The couple who were twined up by each other's arms were leaning backwards, from pure excitement. This had to be stopped before they went off the deep end.
- "Hey! Cut it out, save it for later days!" Brock proclaimed who was also known as the third wheel in the relationship. "All right, one of you give define 'love'."
- "Ah…um," Misty proceeded to give her definition, "Love means that you care for that person with all your heart, and you want to be by their side through thick and thin?"
- "Yeah Mist!" Ash defended by putting his slick arm around her dainty waist. She returned by giving a quick lip smile.
- "That's the teenage way of describing love. Later on, you'll be thinking of a better meaning than that crappy combination of words. Someday, if we ever part our ways, I want you to come back and give me an extreme explanation for the word 'love'. Believe me, if you're sharp enough Misty, of which you are, you'll give me the ultimate answer."
- Brock continued afoot.
