Why?

A/N: Well, here it is. Chapter four. Keep R&Ring. Thanks.

     The phone rang in the middle of the night.

     "Hello?"

     "Hi Ashley, this is Marie. I just battled that Ash guy at the practice gym. He is tough. You sure you want to go through with this?"

     "Yes, I beat him before. I'll be ok, but thanks anyway, Marie."

     "K, bye."

     I lay in bed thinking of all the things we'd done together, as a team of three (Brock too). All the times Pikachu had zapped Ash and me. How I would ever get over what I heard him say to Brock. I didn't know.

     The next morning I woke up dreading the whole day. I grabbed a tank top and shorts and headed down to my Pokemon tank. Psyduck and Togepi followed me. I surveyed my Pokemon and chose Golduck and Starmie for the final battle. I was dedicating all my training to finding the shining Gyrados. The bell on the front door rang and I knew He was here. I shakily walked out.

     "Are you Ash?"

     "Yes" he said uncomfortably.

     "I'm… Ashley."

     "You sound hesitant."

     "What's it to you?"

     "You remind me strongly of someone I miss with all my heart" He said, looking close to tears.

     The battle began. I was not easy on Him. He however, won. I proudly presented him a badge.

     "Now it's time to tell me who you really are, Misty."

A cliffhanger. Woohoo! I love those things. Please R&R. I am so happy with this story. Some ideas for chapter 5 please. Thx.
