Author's Note-There is a song in this chapter. You don't have to read it, because it's only how Misty is feeling. Oh yeah, the song is from the soundtrack Pokemon: The First Movie.

~ Flashback from the last time Ash and Misty were together ~

It was a bright, sunny afternoon. They were sitting on a park bench, and in front of them was on open meadow. "Perfect day," 14 year old Misty said. "Yeah," said 13 year old Ash sadly. They looked at each other and started to laugh.

This was the day they were to their separate ways. They only had about a half an hour left until Ash had to go. He had signed up to go to a pokemon training center. It was on a secret island, and the only way to get there was by the special boat that they provided. The ship was in walking distance, only about five minutes away.

Ash had said that he wasn't strong enough to win the next league he joined, and that beating the Johto League was pure luck. "Ash, you're a wonderful pokemon trainer. You beat Johto because of that." Misty had told him so many times before, but he would never believe her.

Because Ash was going to leave, and Misty couldn't go with him, she decided to go and help out her sisters at the Cerulean City Pokemon Gym. "It's to go now anyways," she told Ash. "I mean, I've spent every night with you for the past three years…" "I know Misty, and I'm sorry about that." Ash said sadly. "What are you sorry for? I loved every minute of it." Said Misty happily.

Suddenly Misty stood up and tagged Ash. "Catch me if you can!!!" she shouted, while running straight ahead. Ash quickly got up and started to run after her. He had gotten faster over the years; probably because of all the running he had to do. Always having to get Pikachu back from Team Rocket and all. Because Ash was so fast, he caught up with Misty in no time at all, even though she did get a head start.

She was still running when Ash jumped and pinned her to the ground, so now he was laying right on top of her. "Caught you," he said happily. She was smiling and looking straight into his eyes. Ash took one look at those beautiful aqua-blue eyes and wanted to tell her just how much he loved her. But instead, he leaned down and kissed her right on the lips. At first, she was totally surprised. But then, she got over the shock, and kissed him back!!! They kissed so passionately that it seemed that this was there last day to live.

Finally, after they broke the kiss, Ash opened his eyes. Misty had her eyes open too, but tears were flooding her eyes, and rolling down the sides of her face.

'She's so beautiful' he thought. 'And now I'm going to lose her.' Ash had to fight back his own tears. He was still looking at Misty, and even though she was crying, she still looked like she came straight from Heaven.

"What's wrong, Misty?" Ash asked sweetly. "You have to promise me something, Ash. You have to promise me we'll see each other again." Misty said. "I promise," Ash said softly, "I promise."

Ash finally rolled off Misty and they just lay there a while, looking up at the clouds. Misty had finally stopped crying when Ash's watch had beeped, which meant it was time for him to go.

They both stood up, and locked in a tight hug that lasted for over a minute. "You'd better keep your promise, Ash Kethum!" Misty said. "I will be back, Misty, don't worry." Ash said. "Goodbye Ash," said Misty gloomily. "Goodbye Misty, until next time." Ash said, and turned around and ran.

Misty fell to the ground in tears; wishing and hoping her love would come back to her. There was a song that explained all of what she was feeling. It's called "If Only Tears Could Bring you Back."

How will I start, tomorrow without you here? Who's heart will guide me, when all the answers disappear?

Is it too late? Are you too far gone to stay? This one's forever, should never have to go away.

What will I do? You know I'm only half without you? How will I make it through?

If only tears could bring you back to me. If only love could find a way. What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me someday, somehow, someway. If my tears could bring you back to me.

I'd cry you an ocean, if you'd sail on home again. Wings of emotion will carry you, I know they can.

Just light will guide you, and your heart will chart the course. Soon you'll be drifting into the arms of your true north.

Look in my eyes, and you will see a million tears have gone by, and still they're not dry.

If only tears could bring you back to me. If only love could find a way. What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me someday somehow, someway. If my tears could bring you back to me.

I hold you close, and shout the words I only whispered before. For one more chance, for one last dance. There's nothing that I would not give and more.

If only tears could bring you back to me. If only love could find a way. What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me someday, somehow, someway. If my tears could bring you back to me.

(End of song)
