Fiery Presence
By Perfect Soldier
Chapter 2
The sun peaked out from behind the mountains surrounding the Pokemon village. The golden beams of light flew straight into Misty's window and shone on the remains of her tear stained face. Her eyelids fluttered open and the girl sat up and rubbed her eyes. Misty looked around the wooden room and glanced towards the window.
'That's strange, I thought I shut the window when I went to sleep last night,' Misty thought, 'Maybe Ash has come back!' Her eyes it up and as she thought this.
Misty bound out of the door not even thinking to get dressed. She ran towards Ash's room praying that yesterday hadn't happened; that Ash had come home last night; that he was still here asleep in his room. Misty opened the door to Ash's room, but instead of seeing him sleeping, she saw a completely empty room. You wouldn't have been able to tell that anybody had been in there. Even Ash's backpack was gone. Tears formed in her eyes as Misty realised the truth. Ash was gone and wasn't coming back. Misty couldn't contain her sorrow anymore. She broke down crying right there and then.
Her crying awaked Brock. He walked slowly out of his room and saw her pour out her tears. He knelt down beside her and put his hand up to her shoulder. Misty gasped at his touch but then turned and buried her head in his chest. Her sobs became louder.
"Ash is gone! He's not coming back!" Misty said in between her tears. Brock didn't know what to do. It was true though; Ash was gone for good. He felt sorry for the fifteen-year old girl crying in his arms. Ever since he had met her, he knew about her secret. Misty kept crying for some time.
As her tears finally subsided, Misty and Brock decided it was best if they went their own ways, back to their own families. There was no point in keeping on travelling with no purpose. They packed up their stuff and headed back to Pewter and Cerulean City. As Misty was packing the last of her stuff, she came across a photo that brought more tears to her eyes. Everyone was there, even Ash.
'Ash...where did you go?'
"Misty? Are you ready yet?"
"Yeah...I'm coming..."
Brock locked up their house they rented, and returned the key. They then set off for western Kanto.
Brock said goodbye to Misty as they reached Pewter City, then Misty walked the rest alone.
Togepi sat quietly in his mother's arms, enjoying the fresh air. He wondered whether he should try to tell his mother about what happened. He decided against it, but he still felt guilty that he had made matters worse. He looked up into his trainer's face. The usual spark in her eyes had gone. Her face looked sad and hurt. Her mouth drooped at the corners and her breathing was slow and heavy. Togepi then noticed that her pace of walking was slowing up.
Misty stopped and sat down on a nearby log. He set Togepi down and brought her face into her hands. She started to mumble something inaudible. Togepi walked over to his mother and looked up at her with a worried expression on his face. Misty brought her head up and saw Togepi looking at her.
"Everything's ok Togepi. No need to worry about me." Misty smiled at the Pokemon's concern. He was her only friend at the present moment. "Come on. Let's go."
Misty picked up her egg Pokemon and carried on her journey back home. Soon Cerulean City came into sight. Misty walked in the direction of her house, and let herself in. Her sisters were away on tour, so she had the house to herself. Misty decided that battling would only remind her of bad memories, so she shut down the gym, and only used it as a swimming pool as her sisters had done five years ago.
