Welcome to my latest fic! I hope you enjoy it as it did take a lot of time and effort! It's also a piece of my Mitchmanga© writing! Also, due to complaints about my last fic concerning large gaps during the text, this is really not my fault and I don't know why it happens so I am apologising beforehand.
Chapter1:It was a cold October evening. Pikachu had gone missing in Viridian forest while he, Ash and Misty had been taking a walk…
"Oh no! Ash it's starting to RAIN!" Misty moaned. She and ash had stopped to call out for the missing pokemon.
"Uh, so it is…PIKACHU WHERE THE HELL ARE Y…? The small yellow creature had JUST appeared beside a close sycamore tree as Ash finished his sentence.
"Pikachu you little rat!" Misty yelled exasperatedly.
"Pika!" he grunted in annoyance. He then ran to Ash's arms.
'KERASH!!' a loud crash of thunder…
"Sounds pretty close, Pikachu, into the pokeball"
"Pika piiii!" he refused.
"NOW Pikachu! You are a health hazard to myst and I while you're out in the open like this!"
Realising the problematic situation, Pikachu reluctantly entered the pokeball which Ash then returned to his rucksack.
"Thank you!" groaned Misty "Oh Ash I am frozen!" and to prove this she began to shiver, violently.
"Wow Myst you aren't kidding are ya! Don't mean to sound like my mom but o you have anything on under that jacket?"
"Um, a blue vest-top" she winced and blushed.
"Well no wonder! Here, take this" He removed his jacket and wrapped it round her shoulders then wrapped his arms around the jacket
"I think me and Brock found a small cave up here once when we were looking for pokemon, and I don't think it's too far"
"Ooh is that it? Looks like it's already occupied, see?" Mist was right. There was a fiery glow coming from inside the cave. The couple wandered into the cave and then froze in shock.
"Rudi!" Misty gasped
**~~FLASHBACK~~**
"I've had enough of you Misty! Can't you see I'd do anything for you?!"
Misty knelt on the floor weeping, whilst Rudi stood over her with a gun held to her temple.
"And to show you just how much I love you I am gonna make sure no-one else can ever have you!" He Whispered darkly. Misty looked up, and although her vision was blurred from the tears in her eyes and the dripping blood from her eyebrow she could just make out the silouhettes of Brock and Ash coming through the door.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ash wailed. Brock shot forward to knock Rudi over just in time to hear a bullet leave the barrel of a gun.
Everything in Misty's world went dark.
When Rudi landed on the floor he dropped his gun. Ash picked it up and aimed it at the enemies nether regions.
"GET OUT OR I'LL BLOW YOUR BALLS OFF!!" he screamed. Rudi scrambled to his feet and ran out of the room.
"Oh Myst, wake up…"Ash was panicking "Brock where's the nearest hospital?"
"I dunno but there is a pokemon centre near by that nurse joy works at…"
"Brock this is no time to worry about you r lovelife!!"
"No Ash! We can call an ambulance and get something to stop the bleeding!"
"Oh,ok sorry man. C'mon Myst wake up!! Ok here goes."Ash lifted the limp body in his arms and fresh tears fell as he realised how light she was now and at how much blood was gushing from the wound in her side."It's too late…she's dead…
"No Ash she's gonna be ok! We have time!"
**~~END FLASHBACK~~**
Ash and Misty looked at one another then back at Rudi. He had aged a lot and looked exhausted. Slowly he lifted his eyes to meet theirs. As he looked at then with a sickly grin spreading across his face Misty gave in and buried her face in Ash's chest as she fought the tears.
"Well, if it isn't …The infamous Ashton and Misty! I must say I NEVER thought I'd see her again, thought I'd finished her off. Clearly not the case. Well…"He almost sang as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. The colour ran from Ash's face.
"There's no time like the present!"
Rudi sneered as Misty sank to the floor in pain, then he ran out of the cave and into the night laughing wildly.
"Oh God Myst! Not again..."
"Umph… no, just my… my leg" she winced.
"Just your leg!what are you like Misty Waterflower!"he lifted her up and put her closer to the fireside. Then he tore the bottom half of the legs of both his trousers.
"What are you up… to, Ashy boy?" Misty tried to cheer herself up.
"We need to stop the bleeding"
"Well ok but you arent ripping my jeans like that! Oh no!"
Very carefully he rolled up the leg of her jeans and found the bulletwound. Then he used the material strips he had made of his trousers to wrap up the wound.
"I think I have a small towel in my bag that you could wrap around yourself cause I think we'll be here all night" He rummaged in his backpack, took out the towel and a pokeball which he dropped on the floor letting Pikachu out. Then he draped the towel over Misty's shoulders. He turned to see how pikachu was, and when he turned back, Misty had dropped off to sleep.
"MISTY!" He shouted. She woke with a start.
"What?!" She queried
"You cant go to sleep yet. How are you feeling?"
"Sore, cold tired…need I go on?" Ash had got the picture. He sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Myst you really are becoming a threat to me… I'll end up in cardiology!"He kissed her head
"do you think… oh never mind"
"What Ash?"
"Do you…"
"WHAT!"
"Would you…"
"Oh Ash for God's sake !spit it out!"
"I love you very much myst"
Oh Ash I love you too!…Now what were you going to say?"
"Would you…in like 2,3 years, ma…"
"Oh Ash I cant believe you had to ask!"
"What should I take that as?"
"YES stoopid! Come here!" She kissed him and then rested her head on his chest. She soon fell asleep.
"Thank you Myst."He whispered into her hair and then followed her into sleep.
