C. Cowboy: Well, here's another chapter for all you good people, (except A*Mon of course) just playin, Angie! I can't believe nobody figured out my hint! Here goes! Ya'all will probably smack your selves up side the head when you find out.

CHAPTER 11: GOOD NIGHTS AND BAD MORNINGS

Ash walked out of the hospital when Misty ran up behind him, "OK Ash, what's with the big change of heart?" she said with a hint of pleading in her eyes. "Lets just say, Mom reminded me what I'm fighting for: Her, Pallet Town, Pikachu, Brock… you." Misty wrapped her arms around him in a big hug and laid her head on his shoulder, "I thought I lost you for a second." Ash smiled at her, "You'll never lose me." He said as he kissed her passionately. Ash finally broke the kiss and looked seriously at Misty, "Tomorrow I want you and Brock on the front row, right behind my trainer's box. Fate has already gotten to Mom, I won't let him touch ether of you." Misty smiled and nodded. "Good," Ash said as he put his arm around her and started towards the hotel.

Later that night Ash awoke and looked around his room. He was immediately frozen in fear. He saw Brock, lying on his bed, covered in blood. Ash set up and shook him, but he then noticed he wasn't breathing, "Brock, no…" his thoughts were cut off when he saw Pikachu and Misty in the floor, also covered in blood. He picked up Misty and held her limp body in his arms and rocked back and forth. He then laid her, Brock, and Pikachu on the beds and pulled the sheet over their faces. He then started toward the door, "Fate, I'll make you pay…" his thoughts were cut off again when he saw himself in the mirror, wearing Fate's ninja outfit, and a bloody knife on his belt.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ash screamed as he jumped up in his bed. Ash looked over and saw Gary and Pikachu still sound asleep. "I think I've had to much McDonalds." Ash said as he laid back and rested his hand on his forehead. Ash then got up and headed out on the balcony. "Nice night." Ash said to himself. "Yeah it is." Ash almost fell off the balcony, "Dang it Misty! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Misty rested her hands on her waist, "Well, excuse me, Mr. Pokemon Master, but this is a conjoining balcony. It's no more yours then it is mine." Ash then noticed Misty was wearing only a long white T-shirt that came down to her knees, and she had her hair down. Ash gulped as he stared at her. "What is it?" Misty asked concerned. "Oh, it's nothing Mist, you're just really pretty with your hair down." Ash forced out still very unnerved. Misty then blushed and looked down. "What are you doing up so late, Mist?" Ash asked finally gaining some control. "I could ask you the same question." Misty returned. "Alright, I had a nightmare and needed some fresh air. Now, what's up with you?" Misty looked at him like she was at a loss for words, then she sat down on the bench, "Well, Ash, I was a kindda worried. Worried that this Hand Of Fate guy might, might hurt you or worse. After what he did to your Mom, I couldn't stop thinking what he could do to you." Misty said now crying, Ash set down and wrapped his arms around her, "Don't worry! After everything we've been through, this guy will be a piece of cake! Don't forget, he's Team Rocket, the same group that produced Jessie, James, and Meowth, so he can't be as bad as everyone thinks!" Misty smiled but was obviously still unconvinced. "Come on, if it makes you feel any better you can sleep with me tonight." Misty looked up at him and smiled as they both got up and he led her to his bed. (C. Cowboy: OK you perverts, get your minds out of the gutter, nothin' dirty gonna happen, got it?)

The next morning, Gary was the first to wake up. "Alright, Ashy Boy Time to get up, we've got match's to…to… oh dear God in heaven…" Gary stuttered as he saw Ash's bed. There laid Ash, lying on his back, with his arms wrapped around Misty, and her head on his chest. Then Crystal came in unannounced. When she saw what was going on she shrieked loud enough to wake the dead. Ash and Misty both jump high enough to hit the ceiling. They looked at each other and then at Gary and Crystal's startled faces, "What is it? What's wrong?" they both asked in unison. "WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S WRONG!!! YOU TWO SICK PERVERTED FREAKS SLEPT TOGETHER!! WHILE I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM!!!!" Gary screamed and looked very sick as Crystal passed out. Misty started to giggle while Ash looked around clueless as usual. "Gary, do you honestly think that we would do something like THAT, and leave you in here as a live audience?" Misty asked with heavy sarcasm. "Huh? Do what?" Ash asked as everyone in the room fell over like in the cartoon. Misty then brought the mighty mallet down on Ash's head. "Ouch! You haven't done that in a while, Mist." Ash said still out of it from the mallet hit. "Well, you haven't said anything really stupid in a while."  Gary started laughing, "Yeah your right, Misty, Ash is too stupid to even try anything like THAT!!" Misty then plowed Gary with the mallet, "HEY! THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!! The only one aloud to call him names is me, got it?"         

          

A few hours and Tylenols later, Ash and Pikachu once again in the red trainers box. He looked back and saw that Misty and Brock were in the seats he saved for them. If Fate was going to get them he was going to have to over Ash's dead body. "OK Pikachu who are we up against this time." Just then the announcer came on the loud speaker, "LADYS AND GENTLEMEN, THIS SECOND ROUND BATTLE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A THREE ON THREE POKEMON BATTLE! IN THE RED CORNER, ASH KETCHUM!!!!" The crowd began to cheer wildly and Ash heard Misty whistle behind him. "AND IN THE BLUE CORNER, CRYSTAL PAGE!!!" Ash looked surprised across the ring at Crystal. She just blew a kiss at him, "please don't go easy on me just because I'm your Girlfriend, Ashwy!" 

TO BE CONTINUED…   

  

C. Cowboy: I know I said that Fate would strike again in this one, but ya know what, I guess I lied. He will in the next one though, cowboy's honor! In the next part, Ash and Crystal will battle to get in the Simi-finals. Hopefully she's better at training Pokemon then she is at distinguishing reality from her dream world. Well, that's about it for now. Catch ya'all later!
