Ch.1: The Plan
It had
been a fairly uneventful day on the way to their next stop. Other than a couple
wrong turns and a trainer battle, nothing had happened. It was almost as if
time had stopped. The leaves were rustling, the Pidgeys were chirping, and
there was a soft breeze blowing that seemed to caress your cheek as it blew by.
All in all, it was (and had been) a very peaceful day.
' I'm so
bored…ever since Team Rocket got a week vacation, nothing's happened. It's
strange,' he chucked silently, ' but I actually would appreciate falling into a
hole right now!' Ash had just won the Sky League, and was 15. He had the same
clothes, but, of course, in bigger sizes. He didn't wear his jacket as often,
as the place where the Sky League is was very hot and humid, so there wasn't a
point in wearing it. He still was the same stubborn, determined person though.
His face (and body) had matured a little (he was a lot taller- growth spurt last
summer), but you could still easily tell it was he. He was slightly handsome;
in a simple sort of way…at least that's what Misty thought. As for Misty and
Brock… Misty still had the short side- ponytail and the same clothes, except
the shorts didn't have suspenders anymore. She was about a ½ an inch shorter
than Ash, but that may be because of Ash's hair that stuck up in all directions
(still). Misty wasn't as scrawny anymore, after all, she was 16, closing in on
17, so she had changed somewhat too. She wasn't drop-dead-gorgeous, but she
wasn't ugly, either. She, kind of like Ash, was slightly attractive in a simple
sort of way, and Ash thought so too. Brock…uh…well… Brock was Brock. 21, still
hadn't got a girl, still obsessed with beautiful girls, still obsessed with
Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, and still couldn't figure out how the heck to open
his eyes. Didn't look all that different, didn't act all that different. And,
as long as we're on the subject of how everybody's doing… Jessie and James of
Team Rocket. Jessie: 1. Still obsessed with her hair. 2. Still tough. 3. Still
hurting James and Meowth with her mallet (Misty likewise). 4. STILL HASN'T
GOTTEN A PROMOTION.
James: 1. Still
obsessed with roses, love and romance, drama, etc. 2. Still the most sensitive
one in the TR trio. 3. Still getting hurt by Jessie. 4. STILL HASN'T GOTTEN A
PROMOTION.
Meowth: 1. Still
not the "Top cat". 2. Still hasn't evolved. 3.Still hasn't learned Payday.
4.STILL HASN'T GOTTEN A PROMOTION. Anyway, back to the present…
Our
heroes/heroine were walking on route 89, on their way to Cirrus Town, where
they were going to stop at a Pokecenter and heal their Pokemon. Everyone was
silent as they walked. Brock was starting to think of teasing Ash and Misty
about the fact that in the last town, Ash had to do CPR on Misty…
Flashback
They had
gotten lost, once again, and Misty was blaming Ash.
"It's
YOUR fault we got lost!"
"Well, YOU
were holding the map upside-down!"
"Guys!
Stop flirt- I mean, fighting!! We've gotta find a way to get out of this maze!"
Misty, who had caught that little cover-up, stopped abruptly and turned to
mallet Brock. Unfortunately, Brock wasn't paying attention, and he plowed
head-on into Misty, therefore making both of them tumble into the river next to
the path. It was a fairly slow-moving river, but they both got pulled into a
whirlpool. After 10 seconds, the twirling water subsided and Ash, who had jumped
in to save his friends, somehow towed them out of the water and laid them down
on the grass. Ash was breathing hard and he watched Brock start coughing and
sit up, but Misty made no indication of being alive. Ash starting panicking,
and Brock, who could talk but was still coughing up water, said:
"You've
got to do CPR on her Ash!"
"WHAT?!?"
"I'm in
no condition to, and anyway, you're the one who loves her!"
" I DO
NOT-" Ash started but realized time was running out. So he leaned down and
placed his mouth on Misty's. He started breathing air into her mouth and
blushing bright red in the process. Brock, meanwhile, was snapping pictures on
a camera.
"I'm SO
going to laminate these and put the in an album."
Soon
Misty started coughing. Ash snapped back and looked at her, still concerned.
Misty slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Ash's eyes staring
back at her. After she snapped out of the trance she was in and recovered, she
asked,
" What the heck happened?!?"
"Well-"
Ash started, still blushing, but Brock interrupted him
"- you
and I fell into the river Ash saved us I recovered fast but you didn't so…"
Brock chuckled evilly. " … Ash did CPR on you, and I took some pics!" Misty
bolted up; blushing VERY hard…so was Ash. " How dare you take pictures!"
Yelled Ash, while Misty held him back. She asked him " You
saved me…" Ash looked at her, "by doing CPR?" Now Ash looked at the ground and
nodded. Misty suddenly hugged him. "Thanks," was all she said.
End Flashback
"So where exactly are we going, Ash?"
"To-AAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
"Pikachuuuuu!"
"OW!"
"Toge!"
Suddenly
they all fell into a hole. Brock landed headfirst in the pit, Pikachu bounced
off the floor and up righted itself, Togepi landed perfectly, and Misty landed
facedown on Ash who landed on his back, but not very hard. Brock, who decided
that this is a perfect opportunity to tease, quickly regained balance and said
to Ash and Misty, "Enjoying your selves?" Misty blushed. So did Ash. "What?!?
Him/Her? Never!" They sprung up, and Misty proceeded to clobber Brock with her
mallet. After the dust cleared, she twirled the oversized wooden hammer like a
gun, blew the top of it, and stuck it back in her pocket. "Nice," Ash
complimented, examining the numerous bumps on Brock's head.
"Why
thank you." Misty smiled, proud of her handiwork. After Brock regained
consciousness, all of them started examining the pit. "Did Team Rocket do
this?" Brock wondered.
"I
dunno…I though they were on vacation?" Questioned Misty.
"They
ARE," replied Ash.
"Well excuse
me." Muttered Misty.
"How the
heck are we gonna get out of here, though?"
"Beats
me." Ash shrugged.
"Too bad you don't have
Bulbasaur anymore," commented Misty.
"Hey!
I've got it!"
"What?"
"Onix!"
Brock snapped his fingers.
"Good
idea, Brock!" Exclaimed Misty. Brock took out a Pokeball, and threw it. "Onix,
use your body as steps outta this pit!"
Onix roared, then connected the
top of the pit to where our heroes are with it's body. They quickly climbed out
of the hole. 'Well, at least our day wasn't totally boring,' thought Misty.
'And I can't believe I landed on Ash!'
"We should find a campsite soon," said Brock." It's gonna
get dark fast."
"Pika
I agree." Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi soon found a good camp
spot. As they set up camp, Brock was thinking hard.
'Why can't Ash and Misty just admit that they like each
other?!? God, this is starting to get annoying. What I need is a plan to get
them together! Hmmm… Well I need to get them alone for awhile, but I can't have
them realize that it's part of a plan. Also, I need some agents to help me… I
know! I can get TR in this too! It's obvious they like each other too, so I can
kill two birds with one stone! Plus, now Ash and Misty have a reason to be
alone! I can convince them to play Matchmaker for Jessie and James, and I can
convince Jessie and James to play Matchmaker for Ash and Misty! Yeah! And while
I'm at it, Pikachu and Meowth can help me, plus Pikachu can convince Togepi to
help us too. Now I just have to convince TR to play Matchmaker for Ash and
Misty and vice versa…'
To Be Continued
A.N.: Yup, I know I'm killing you, but oh well! Please
review! Criticism and compliments welcome! Watch for the next part, Ash and
Misty, Pro Matchmakers
