Hello! And welcome to the next and final part of this story! This is one of the few sotries I have finally finished, so read and review!
Ash ~ 14
Misty ~ 15
Brock ~ 18
Kimi ~ 14
HelloThe day was bright. The pidgeys were um, pidgying, the bugs were flying and crawling everywhere, pokemon were out and about as if without a worry or care. All this was not noticed by a certain young pokemon trainer of whom we all know and love despite the efforts of his two best friends.
"Hey Ash look! There's a Marril!" A brown haired girl pointed to a cute Marril shooting water out its mouth doing tricks. Beside her stood an older boy, around eighteen, signaling to her to not mention the Marril. Enjoying the cute scene too much, she completely ignored the boys signals. "Isn't it cute! Water pokemon can do such neat tricks huh Ash? Ash?"
Brock hit is hand to his face as Ash's worried, sad, and nervous look was once again on his face for the hundredth time that hour. Kimi still didn't pay attention to Brock and noticed another pokemon. "Hey look! There's a Caterpie! Oh! It's so cute! Hey Ash! Didn't you used to have a Cater – Brock?" She finally noticed Brock's frantic gestures. "What's wrong with – oh." She looked at Ash and saw. For some reason the pokemon reminded Ash of his old friend. She never quite got what happened, but all she knew was that whatever happened, it tore up Ash inside.
Brock sighed and explained to the confused Kimi, "Misty loved water pokemon, they were her favorite, and she was scared of bug pokemon, long story." Kimi nodded. Brock had explained this to her before, but she had a slightly bad memory. "So Ash! What are you going to do when you get to Kanto?"
Ash stopped. Pikachu, who had been walking beside is trainer looked up curiously at Ash. "Pika-Pi?" Ash looked ahead with determination. "I'm going to find Misty and apologize!"
"Pika!" Pikachu cheered. Brock smiled as did Kimi. Ash then nervously scratched that unknown itch behind his head and said, "Well, after we stop and pallet and eat one of mom's delicious foods." Brock, Kimi, and Pikachu all anime fell and Brock said, "At least he didn't change too much."
"Besides," Ash continued ignoring them, "I want to show mom my trophy!" Ash grinned.
Kimi rolled her eyes and glared. "We've seen it enough times already. Besides, you wouldn't have won if I hadn't gone so easy on you." Kimi folded her arms and stuck her tounge out.
"ha! You're just jealus that I beat you!" Ash sneered.
Brock and Pikachu both moaned bringing out the ear plugs. Even without Misty there was no peace and quiet.
"I am not! You were just mad that I got to beat Gary and you didn't!" Kimi smiled as Ash cringed.
"It doesn't matter. I can fight him any day and win!"
"If I remember correctly, you never –"
"PIIKAAAA!" Pikachu jumped between them and made his cheeks spark as a warning.
"OKAY!" Both Ash and Kimi jumped back.
"Goodness!' Brock hufed pulling the ear plugs out. "You're almost as bad as Ash and Misty w-oops!" Brock flung his hand to his mouth, but he was too late. When Misty was mentioned, it was like Brock and Prof. Ivy.
"Pikachu." Pikachu mumbled them hopped on to Ash's shoulder and patted his trainers head. "Pikachu Pika PikachuPi!"
Ash smiled a bit and nodded. "Come on everyone lets go."

A blobby, um, thing plopped itself on the grass and started chanting happily in its own language. A muffled voice could barely be heard underneath it. "Muk!" A boy cried out running into the yard. "You know better then to sit on the Professor! He just had a shower!"
Muk apologized and oozed off the Prof.. "Are you okay Prof. Oak?" The concerned boy asked.
Prof. Oak sat up and rubbed his head. "I'll be fine Tracey. I wonder what is up with Muk."
"I don't know Prof." They both look at the strange pokemon who was dancing around in a circle. Heracross, who was licking the tree sap off a tree suddenly stopped and sniffed the air. Happily it cried out and ran over to the fence jumping up and down. "HERRA! HERCROSS!"
Bulbasaur was too over by the fence trying to squeeze itself out. "Bulbasaur! Get back in here!" Prof. Oak screamed at the pokemon who managed to get out. He was very confused. Bulbasaur was one of the more well behaved pokemon at the research facility.
Suddenly he saw a figure come over the hill carrying the run away Bulbasaur. "ASH!" Tracey recognized and ran to his long time friend. He jumped over the fence, followed quickly behind by Heracross and Muk. Poor Kingler couldn't quite make it through the fence, but soon a large gap in the fence was provided by Snorlax.
Ash kneeled to ground level with his pokemon and happily hugged them all. "How've you all been?"
"Bulba!"
"HERA!"
"SNOOOOOOORE!"
"MUUUUK!"
"Koke!"
Ash laughed and hugged them all once more. He stood up to greet the Prof.. "Hi!"
"Why hello Ash! I haven't seen you in a while!"
"I know! I just wanted to see how m pokemon were doing then I was going to stop by at mom's house to show her my new trophy!"
Kimi seemed to cringe a bit, but let it pass.
Prof. Oak seemed to wince a bit. "Er, Ash? You haven't been home yet?"
"No, why?"
The Prof. Hesitated then shook his head. "Nevermind, its nothing,"
Ash shrugged it off and said, "Whatever, I'm going to see mom now, you coming Pikachu?"
"PIKA!" Pikachu nodded.
"I'm going to stay and talk with Prof. Oak, okay Ash?" Kimi said.
"Me too, we'll meet you at your house."
"Okay. See you later!" He then looked down at his pokemon and said, "I'll see you guys later, okay?" They all nodded and walked/flew back to what they were doing before Ash had come.

Ash stopped in front of his house and took in the beauty of his house. He smiled. Same old house, but, there was something different, something h couldn't quite place. He marched up to his doorway and pushed open the door. Ash smiled. "Never locked." Ash stated. "MOOOOOOM!" Ash yelled into the house. "I'M HOOOOOME!"
"Ashy! Is that you?" Mrs. Ketchum's head popped into the hallway were Ash stood. "Hiya mom!" Ash ran to greet his mom. Mrs. Ketchum ran over to her son, but kneeled down and hugged Pikachu.
"And how are you doing Pikachu?"
"WAAAH!" Ash sighed. "Same old mom."
Mr. Mime ran out from nowhere and ran up to Ash. He studied Ash for a moment. Suddenly, he pulled out a feather duster and brushed it all over Ash's face.
"HEY! CUT IT OUT!" Mr. Mime pulled it away and ran off to do some other chores.
"Would you like some ketchup Pikachu?"
"PIKA!" Pikachu nodded happily.
"There is some on the table. Go ahead!"
Pikachu happily ran into the kitchen.
Mrs. Ketchum stood up to look at her son. "Oh Ashy! I missed you so much! You grew! You're almost as tall as me! OOOH!" She hugged Ash in a tight bear hug. "My little baby is growing up!"
"MOM!" Ash pulled away. "I missed you too."
Mrs. Ketchum smiled then ran into the kitchen. "I'm going to make your favorite meal! PIZZA!"
"Yay! Thanks mom!" Ash cheered. He followed her into the kitchen.
"Oh Ash? There's something else I wanted to tell you…"
"I'M BACK MRS. KETCHUM!!!" The front door opened and slammed shut with a bang.
Ash blinked in surprise. "Oh Ash, this is what I was about to tell you,"
Suddenly, A girl with red hair, blue-green eyes, and a small egg pokemon following her appeared in the kitchen carrying a bag of groceries that was soon on the floor with a loud SPLAT. "Oh dear, well, I suppose Mr. Mime and I won't mind going back to the store. I'll leave you two here to catch up. Bye!"
So Mrs. Ketchum left Ash and Misty to stare.
"PIKACHUPI!" Pikachu ran into Misty's arms, snapping her out of her stare. "Pikachu! Hi! How've you been?"
"Pika! Pikachu Pika-Pi Pikachu, Pikachupi!"
Ash turned red while Misty looked confused. "What did he say?"
"Er… nothing important."
Pikachu ignored the comment and hopped away from Misty to hug Togepi.
"PIPIPI! Pikachu pika!"
"TOGE!" They both hugged each other and went away to talk. Pikachu quickly came back, grabbed his ketchup bottle, and ran back.
Misty chuckled. "I guess Pikachu still likes his ketchup."
"Yea, say Misty?"
Misty glanced at Ash then looked down. Ash bit his lip and continued. "Look, I'm sorry if you thought I was replacing you, I never was! At least I didn't mean to, I was just kind of mad and, I guess, um, scared that you were going to leave me, I was never without you before you know."
Misty sighed. "I know Ash. I'm sorry too, I just didn't feel needed anymore."
They both sighed again and walked to the living room to sit down. "So how come you're here?" Ash asked.
Misty's eyes glazed over and she looked down. "It was my sister's, I just couldn't stand them anymore." Misty sniffed. Ash was slightly worried and moved closer, daring to hug her and to help her to continue. "I went to go help them, but the onl thing they had me do was paper work, they didn't even use my pokemon except for the water ballets." Misty started to cry freely now, while Ash had his arm around her wondering what he should do. "They didn't really care about me! The only thing they really wanted me for was to do their stupid paper work! So I left them. I didn't know where else to go, so I came here." Misty smiled, "You're mom is so nice!"
Ash smiled too. "Yea… Misty?"
Misty looked at him with her red, sad, eyes and her tear stained face. It tore his heart up to think that that was the way she looked when he left too. It helped him to go on with what he wanted to say. "You're sisters may not care, but I do." Misty raised a surprised eyebrow and let him continue. "I realized on my journey how much you really mean. I always took advantage of you always being there, I never really thought how much I really needed you and what it would be like without you, until it actually happened, you know that saying, 'you never know what you've got until its gone'?" Misty nodded. "Well, you were gone then misty, and before I loose you again, I want to say, I'm glad you were with me when we were together and I wouldn't trade it for the world, and I do need you with me, everything on our journey reminded me of you, I missed you so much! It was hard to do the gym battle without you, you never missed one until then, and I was used to you being there." Ash paused and took a deep breath looking at Misty's surprised, but happy face. "And I realized something else there too," Ash looked Misty right in the eyes. "I realized that that feeling I felt on out journey wasn't because I was sick, well, I was sick actually, I was love sick, um, what I'm trying to say is um…" Ash stumbled over his words. Misty smiled happily, realizing what he was trying to say and kissed him lightly on the cheek and answered for him, "I love you too Ashy-boy."
Ash grinned like a love-happy fool until he heard laughter coming from the hallway. "I wish we could've seen it!" Brock laughed, leaning against the wall.
Misty and Ash looked at them totally confused. "Prof. Oak told us *giggle* that Misty was here. *snort*" Kimi choked out, leaning against the wall too.
Misty made a face. "You can stop laughing now."
Brock still went on laughing harder then ever until Misty got tired of it and hit Brock on the head with her mallet. Kimi burst out laughing all the more. Misty snorted and turned to Kimi.
Kimi stopped suddenly. Both girls studied each other. 'So this is the girl I've heard so much about,' Kimi thought, 'I can see why Ash liked her so much and missed her.' Kimi held out her hand. "It's nice to finally meet you Misty. I've heard a lot about you."
Ash and Brock looked on with hope that the two would get along and that Misty would hold no grudge against Kimi and that the two could be friends. Their hopes were rewarded with Misty's shake of Kimi's hand. Misty smiled back at Kimi. "It's nice to meet you too. I hope these two didn't give you too much trouble."
Kimi smirked. "Nothing too bad that I couldn't handle."
"Oh Ash!" Brock stood up and announced, "There is another league discovered, it's called the gold league, I was hoping all four of us could go on it."
Ash looked at Misty who smiled.
Ash grinned and nodded happily, the happiest Brock and Kimi had seen him since with Misty. "Yea, we all can go, all four of us."
Okay, so is that good? Much better ending then the first chapter huh? And aren't you proud of me? I made it longer than usual! Yaaaaaaaay for me!
