~ Part 2; The beginning ~
(Misty's POV)
S
"Take a good look."
"Huh? AGH!"
Behind me is, is, well, it looks like an angel. Except for some reasons most angels I've seen has blond hair. This one had some deep black hair. Of course, the halo and wings gave the whole angel thing away.
"Have no fear, for I am an angel." Am I physic or what?
I took a deep breath and regained my composure, asking, "If you're an angel, then does that mean I'm dead?" I CAN'T BE DEAD! (You know, just a few moments ago I was almost wishing I was dead…
"Well, no, you see, I'm the wish granter, and your wish has just been granted."
"So you mean I was never born?"
"Exactly."
"So you mean I get to see what happens if I was never born like in the movies or on TV?"
"Uh, well, sort-of."
"What do you mean 'Sort –of'."
"First, I show you some major parts of what happens if you weren't born, and then what happens is you actually kill yourself. After that, I give you the choice of whether or not you want to kill yourself."
"So your saying whatever happens is what really would happen?"
"It's close to the truth, I can't show you EXACTLY what would happen, you have to choose the future for yourself, you have the choice."
" I think I can live with that. So what's our first stop?"
"First stop: Cerulean city."
I took a deep breath as I looked at the swirling portal. I took one last glance at my old life, then, without looking back, I stepped into the life without me.
~
We went to this one flashy place to get where we are which is uh….
"Where are we again?" I asked.
"Cerulean."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
This was not the Cerulean I remember! This place was dirty and was full of drug people. And it was just, well, the complete opposite of what it is now. (OR was) And my home gym was the worst!
"What happened?"
"You'll see, but keep in mind, this is before you were born. And since you were only a baby in your mother womb, I'm going to show you what it was like when you where born then, when you weren't born. OK?
"Ok… by the way, what is your name?"
"Uh, Satoshi."
"Ok…" Why does that name sound familiar?
And so, were went into, well, actually, we kind of ghosted into my gym. I guess angels/ghosts don't use doors. Hm, I could get used to this!
I looked around the gym in horror. It was even worse than before! Nothing was kept clean! Everything was dirty and icky. I'm not exactly a clean person, but this is horrid! (And if I think it's horrid, then it has to be bad!)
I heard some screaming so I walked towards where the screaming had come from. "SHUT-UP YOU SLUT!"
"DON'T CALL ME A SLUT YOU JERK!"
It was mom and dad! Why were they fighting?
I looked to Satoshi for answers. "They've been fighting for a while. In fact, their about to get a divorce."
I gasped. My parents? A divorce? The same loving parents? This coukdn't possibly have been them!
"I"LL SHOW YOU WHOSE A JERK!"
"ERIK DON'T YOU ARE HIT M-" Mom stopped short, and when she did, dad did. Did I see concern on his face?
"What is it?"
"Th-the baby! She's coming!"
Dad immidatly put his hand down and went frantic.
"WHAT DO I DO?!"
"Just calm down and take me to the hos-AGH!"
Dad dropped what he was doing and ran to mother. "Are you ok?"
"Yea. Just take me to the hospital."
I smiled. They'd finally stopped fighting. Why?
I wanted to find out so I followed them.
Satoshi stopped me. I looked back at him with an eyebrow raised. (DO I even have one?) he just smiled at me and snapped his fingers.
~
There we were, in just one second we had made it to the hospital. I could REALLY get used to this!
Dad was in the waiting room, pacing back and forth wearing a hole in the floor.
I watched as he ran to the doctor when he came out. "Is she ok? Is the baby ok?"
The tired doctor smiled and nodded. "Both are just fine."
Dad smiled and ran past the doctor and into the room where mother was being held.
"How are you doing?"
"Fine. The baby's fine too."
"That's good. So what should we name her?"
"Well, I was thinking since our last name is Waterflower, and we have three daughters named after flowers…"
"We can name her Misty."
Mom smiled. I smiled. Dad smiled. Even Satoshi smiled at the sight.
"I was thinking Rose, (My mom's name) we really shouldn't fight with the new baby."
"You're right. And I didn't want to fight anyway."
"Me either. I'm sorry."
They faded out into the whiteness leaving me smiling.
"So I unknowingly made them stop fighting?"
"Yes. And because they stopped fighting, and cared more about their city, the city got more cleaner." Suddenly, his face grew downcast.
"What? What's wrong?"
"I have to show you what would happen if you weren't born." I nodded. Suddenly realizing, this probably wasn't going to be good.
~
Well, I think (note: think) I was right. Cerulean was back to normal, but it seemed a bit different. I cocked my head trying to decide what was different.
Satoshi lead me to a newspaper stand.
He motioned to a newspaper.
I gasped as I read it.
The Waterflowers' case was decided that they should be exile from Cerulean. Their bad behavior and irresponsible actions have finally caught up with them. The parents being divorced and the children all fighting together, they could not stay gym leaders any longer, they were a disgrace to the Cerulean city.
Now the new gym leader, Marina Waters has taken over. Good luck!
Marina? Oh! I remember her! But still…
"How can one family be dependent upon one child?" I asked, really to no one in particular. Was I really that important to my family?
Satoshi answered by saying, "Hey, you where the one who made the wish, not me."
I rolled my eyes. "So what's next?"
He grinned wildly and that swirly thing appeared again. "Next stop: The river in Viridian."
"Oh boy. Here we go again."
~
Once again we were back to the flashy place I assume has something to do with time travel. Then we were back to an all to familiar spot.
"Hey! This is where I caught Ash!"
"Yea, except now, you aren't there to catch him."
My eyes widend at the possibility.
Pikachu was really hurt when I found them! How much farther must they go until someone rescues them? Will they be too late?
I suddenly spotted to gasping figures coming down the river. Once they passed where I had been fishing in my real life, I saw them disappear under water.
"ASH!" I called out. I ran after them. Please let someone catch him. Please!
There was one good thing, and one bad thing. The good thing is that Ash was caught, the bad thing is, it was another girl, my cousin, my BOY LOVING cousin.
"Tink! What's she doing here?!" I raged.
"She was fishing."
"Ohhhhh." I groaned into my hands.
Tink was just like my sisters, if not worse. She likes any boy, and unfortunatly she has a really bad reputation.
Soon I saw Tink's line jerk and I saw Ash pop out of the river and come flying onto land with a loud *thud.*
"Oh! You poor thing! Are you ok?" Tink asked running towards Ash.
I started to mumble some things that I would do to her if I ever made it out of here.
Ash coughed out some water and nodded looking around for Pikachu.
"Hey Pikachu?" He called.
Where was Pikachu? I looked around myself. I spotted him first and gasped cupping my hands to my mouth.
"Pikachu!" I whispered.
Ash gasped out loud and looked like he was going to cry when he saw Pikachu.
Poor Pikachu!
He was soaked from head to toe and shaking. He was barely breathing!
Ash ran to Pikachu's side and held him close. "Pikachu? Talk to me!"
Pikachu stirred a bit, but that was it.
"I have to get him to a pokemon center!" Ash cried.
"Come with me!" Tink said calmly and suducivly. And of course, Ash being Ash, was too busy to notice. Boy was I going to punch her when I was out of here! Trying to steal my Ash – since when was Ash mine? Besides, he, he hates me!
Satoshi looked at me funny then looked ahead. "He doesn't hate you."
I looked a Satoshi in surprise. How could he possibly know what I was thinking?
"How did –"
"I just do."
"You can't read my mind or anything can you?"
"No, but I can read your face."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind."
"If you say so…"
He just continued to stare at me for a while then shook his head and looked back at Tink and Ash.
It was just then that I realized they were on a bird pokemon and flying. And it was just then that I noticed we were flying too. Well, at least, Satoshi was pulling me, and I suppose this is one of those magical things that when someone who can fly is touching you, you can fly beside that person.
"AGH!"
"What?" Satoshi looked at me with questioning eyes.
"Nothing, I just wasn't paying any attention."
Satoshi just smirked.
I sighed as I watch Ash and Tink. Where they having fun together? Did they like each other? Was Pikachu ok?
I was also wondering why Satoshi didn't just zap us to the pokemon center Ash was going to?
"Why don't you just zap us to the pokemon center Ash is going to?"
"You'll see."
Satoshi pulled me faster and set me beside the pokemon and I flying beside it wherever it went.
"Cool!"
Satoshi smiled at me and went on the other side.
I sat there quietly in an attempt to listen to them talking.
"Are you sure this is the way to the pokemon center?" Ash asked worridly looking down at Pikachu.
"Well," Tink started, "I thought it would be better if we went to my house. I'm training to be a pokemon doctor and-"
"But Pikachu needs a real doctor! This is an emergency!"
"I know but my house is the closest thing for miles!"
"LIAR!" I screamed out. Even though none of them could here me. Except of course Satoshi who was holding his ears glaring at me.
"Would you mind not doing that?"
"Oh," I blushed. "Sorry."
Satoshi slowly pulled away his hands and nodded his head.
Finally I saw Tink's house come into view.
The bird pokemon flew to the ground and let the two off. Ahs ran into the house with Tink following closely behind.
I ran into the house forgetting completely ignoring that the door was closed and ran right through it. Hey! I'm getting the hang of this!
I saw Tink take Pikachu out of Ash's arms and into the 'operating room'.
Ash sank onto the floor with tears streaming down his face.
I wanted so bad to comfort him. I forgot for a moment that he hated me and walked over to him to comfort him, even though he couldn't feel it.
"It's all my fault." He cried with tears running in rivers down his face. He looked so helpless and lonesome, so sad and vulnerable. I wanted more than ever to comfort him. "I'm a horrible trainer! Pikachu doesn't deserve me!" he cried out in anguish.
"Ash you're talking nonsense! You and Ash make the best team I have ever seen in my whole life! You can't give up on Pikachu just like that!" I kept yelling at him, in an attempt to encourage him, even though I knew he couldn't hear me. I sighed in frustration and sank to the floor beside him.
Satoshi, who I'd completely forgotten about. Walked up beside me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Come."
I just nodded. He flicked his fingers.
~
I blinked. We were exactly were we were before.
"What changed?"
Satoshi pointed to the clock and I made a long 'Oh' sound.
It was three hours later.
The operation doors swung open and Tink let Ash see Pikachu.
I don't believe it! Tink may actually be a good doctor!
Pikachu was asleep, but was looking a whole lot better than it was before.
"Thanks so much Tink! You saved my Pikachu's life!"
"Well, you know… can I ask for you something in return?"
"Yea sure!"
"Can you, well, can we go out?"
"Huh?"
"You know, out?
"Yeah sure," My jaw dropped and Tink's eyes sparkled. Ash looked at her weird and asked, "But why would you want to go outside?"
I laughed so hard my sides began to hurt while Tink just stared in disbelief at Ash.
"I didn't think it was possible…" She muttered to herself.
She looked at Ash and tried again. This time, much more obvious.
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
Everyone stopped and waited for an answer.
"Well…" Ash started. He looked at Pikachu. "You did save Pikachu…"
Tink nodded evilly. "Yes, and it's only right that you do my favor in return."
Please don't! I silently begged him as hard as I could.
Please don't Ash! Please!
So, how'd you like it so far? Please review and I'll continue!
