Here's the next part to my little (???) ficcy.
I don't own Pokemon, but I do own Gypsy, Keith, Rose, and the Pokemon that appears in this
chapter. I have a little mixing of the Game Boy games and the Anime again.
I'm flattered by all those nice reviews I've gotten. Thanks guys, and, please, keep them
coming! I love 'em!
Nova S.: Glad you approve! You'll find out more about Misty and some of her Pokemon in this
part. More will be explained in later parts.
By the way, all you people who are waiting for Ash's elemental form (elemental forms will be
explained more in this part)... Well... you'll find out what I have planned soon. Also, if
you leave questions in your reviews, I will answer them in the next part I submit!
Authoress promise!

'Explanations, Explanations, Explanations...'
~~
"Now, little miss redhead, was my boss right?" Keith asked.
"Misty, what are they talking about?" Ash asked, a little nervous about what they could be
talking about.
"No Pokemon, too many to fight... I have no choice," Misty mumbled, sending a pray to her
Pokemon, "WATERS OF CERULEAN!"
~~
Golduck, who had yet to be go back into its' PokeBall, suddenly looked up. Without another
word, Golduck grabbed the PokeBall sitting on the floor by him and threw it to Erika, and
then motioned to the door with his hands.
"They have to be in trouble," Sabrina replied.
"Thank you Ms. Obvious!" Erika hissed and grabbed a PokeBall and took off, Shawn and Cory
following.
"Let's go Brock, we don't want Misty to do something she'll regret," Lance said.
Sabrina shook her head, "It's too late. I felt the surge of power. We should hurry to Misty's
aide."
The rest of the trainers who hadn't left immediately took off, following Sabrina.
"Pikachu..." Pikachu whispered before getting up, only to have Golduck pull it back down again.
[Be all right Ash...]
Golduck stood there and watched the group leave, while making sure Pikachu didn't move.
It (Authoress: *blinks* I'm not sure what gender to make Golduck, so it'll stay an it.) knew
better than to go after a battle. Golduck knew its trainer would be fine, and so, on that
thought, the Pokemon sat down and began to play poker with Pikachu.
~~
Ash had watched in amazement when the column of water had surrounded Misty. Anyone would have,
it was just plain weird to see a water column on dry land.
Ash was even more amazed at the sight Misty was when the water column disappeared. Instead of
the girl in the loose skirt and tank top, Misty wore an ankle long skirt with slits on both
sides up to her thighs. Her shirt was like the old yellow one she used to wear: sleeveless and
showed her flat stomach, but this shirt was a bit more form fitting. The color of the skirt
and top was the same as her eyes, and she wore tan sandals, much like the ones in the days of
the ancient Greeks. Her hair stayed in the braid.
"I told you she wasn't a normal girl, Gyps'," Keith replied, sounding very pleased with
himself.
"Whatever," Gypsy mumbled.
A few other Team Rocket members, numbering around 10 or 12, looked at Misty and took off,
which left around 10 more to back up Gypsy and Keith.
"Alright, then, attack!" Keith yelled.
"Ash, go find somewhere safe and hide!" Misty ordered.
Ash was about to argue with Misty, when about five of the Rocket members surrounded Misty.
Misty's eyes glowed eerily blue for a moment, and then, with exact motions from Misty, a large
amount of water from the river suddenly moved.
Ash watched, totally bewildered, as the large wall of water knocked the five members away from
Misty. Unfortunately, Ash was too caught up in what Misty was doing to notice the other five
members conveniently sneaking up on the boy. Fortunately, someone else was.
"Trap!"
Both Misty and Ash turned in surprise, well, only partial for Misty she knew who had summoned
the attack, as a bunch of vines trapped the five other members.
"Erika!" Misty said, diverting half of her attention from the battle to her friend.
"Hey girl. Thought you might need some help," Erika said, tossing a PokeBall to Misty.
Ash did a double take at Erika. Instead of the sweatpants and an over-sized t-shirt he had
last seen her in, she was wearing a kimono with floral imprints. The kimono was held together
by red bow (Authoress: If you've played any of the Nintendo Pokemon games (Red, Blue, Yellow...
and so on and so forth), it's Erika's battling attire from the game. If not, just nod and
smile!).
"Thanks," Misty said, smiling, "Misty chooses Starit!"
Ash blinked. There was no such Pokemon! The Pokemon that had been chosen was the same size
as a Starmie, but it was blue with a diamond core.
A wall of fire suddenly moved past Gypsy and Keith, surprising the Rockets.
Misty's eyes shined blue once more, and the Pokemon suddenly froze the air around Gypsy and
Keith.
Suddenly, a brief bit of electricity cut through Gypsy and Keith, making them collapse in
pain. The other Rocket members, who had just been standing around like a bunch of nutcases,
got the message to run, which they did.
Erika sighed as soon as the Rocket members where gone, and Eric and Shawn appeared.
"Misty, are you okay?" Shawn asked, as Eric lifted the fainted Gypsy onto his back.
"I'm fine. Just a little tried. Starit, return!" Misty ordered.
Lance and the remaining trainers arrived a few seconds after Misty recalled Starit.
"Bring the two Rockets and let's head back to the base. We have some explaining to do," Lance
said, noticing Ash staring at Cory and Shawn's change of clothing. Cory was wearing a white
tank top and a pair of black jeans and boots, and his loose black hair was held back by a red
bandana. Shawn had a pale yellow tank top and was also wearing a faded pair of blue jeans.
~~
Back the Base...
"That's what happened, Lance. We were just talking, and well, we were attacked. That's it."
Misty said with a shrug, conveniently leaving out the kiss. The group of trainers were gathered
in the office. The office was considerably large, and a flight of stairs was tucked in the one
corner that took you down to the training rooms. Gypsy and Keith had been put into a training
room.
"All right. Well, that's out of the way... who wants the task of explaining what is going on
to Ash and Brock?" Lance said, rubbing his throbbing temples.
Eric, Shawn, and Cory, dragging Sabrina and Erika with them, disappeared down the flight of
stairs, saying something about toturing the Rocket members. Pikachu had been put to sleep by
Erika's Gloom.
Lance shrugged, "I have to keep an eye on them."
Misty growled, thinking of the ways to torture them later for leaving her with the dirty work.
"All right, where would you me to start?"
"How about why you didn't tell us?" Brock asked.
Misty frowned. "Why? How would you like if your two best friends suddenly came back into your
life, and you can command an element of nature? We figured it would be so much safer if you
didn't know, so you wouldn't depend on us."
"Who all has these powers?" Ash asked.
"Everyone here. I have water, Erika has grass, Eric has poison, Shawn is electric
(Authoress: *starts humming the "Electric Slide"*), Sabrina is psychic, which I'm sure you
already knew, Lance has wind, and Cory is fire." Misty replied.
"Okay, next, how did you get these powers?" Brock asked.
"What do all of us have in common? We are all gym leaders. Well, Eric is Koga's son, Shawn
is Surge's nephew, and Cory is Blaine's grandson. Lance was the Indigo leader. Now, before
you ask the story, let me tell it to you. Everyone knows that gyms are handed down generation
after generation. The Cerulean Gym was in its 7th generation once Rose was born. Anyhow,
it's all been foretold, though each generation, that once an evil arrives, born from a gym,
so shall a dynasty of gym leaders, but instead of evil, they dynasty would be filled of good
and pure trainers. The descendents from the original gym owners would obtain the power of the
gym's element." Misty said.
"So that's why your sisters made sure you got out of the gym alive!" Ash said, putting two and
two together.
Misty nodded. "Yes. Soon after I left you guys, my power began to form. I got the same story
from Sabrina, Erika, and Shawn. We were all friends, and we each knew that the evil gym leader
would soon be coming. Next question."
"Elemental forms." Ash said.
Misty motioned to her attire. "The form we take once we call upon our powers. The outfit you
saw on me, Shawn, Cory, and Erika are our elemental forms."
"Do you need to be your elemental form to cast a 'spell'?" Ash asked.
Misty shook her head. "No. If we transform before we cast a spell, as you put it, the spell
will be about 10 times stronger than if we didn't. That large wave I threw, if you will, at
the Rockets it would have been much less effective if I didn't transform before hand."
Ash spoke up again, "After the first battle, Erika looked as if she wanted to try something,
but you shook your head no. Why?"
Misty sighed, "Our elements let us connect straight to their source. In other words, if I was
looking for a... Psyduck in a giant lake, I could dip my hand into the lake and concentrate,
while letting my power of water release, on what I was looking for and find it. Erika wanted
to know who many Rocket members were left, so she could have knelt down and released her power.
She would have been able to tell us how many Rockets where left and how far away they were. I
didn't let her because she would have given of a pale green glow since she was releasing a bit
of her power into the soil."
"The one Pokemon I saw, you called it Starit, what's with that?!" Ash asked.
Misty laughed. "Starit is my guide. Guides teach us how to harness and control our powers.
Eric's guide is his Ariados, Shawn's is his Jolteon, Erika's is her Sunflora, Sabrina's is her
Alakazam, Lance has a Dragonite, and Cory has his Arcanine as a guide. The guide and its'
student can talk telepathically, so no verbal commands are really needed. We can talk
telepathically to all of our Pokemon, but they don't teach us how use our powers."
Brock, who had been silent for most of the question and answer time, spoke up. "Do I have
powers?"
Misty shrugged. "I'm not the one who can tell you that. Sabrina can read your body's aura and
find out, but if they haven't been developing and showing, chances are no. I figured out I was
the one from the tale two ways: A, my Starmie evolved, which is impossible, and B, I walked
past the pool, and moved my hand and some of the water followed the same motions as I made with
my hands. It was creepy."
Brock nodded, "I think I will go talk to Sabrina. Thanks, Misty, for telling me all of this."
"Any other questions, ask Lance or Sabrina. They can tell you more about it." Misty said.
Ash waited until Brock has went down the stairs before asking his next question. "Why didn't
you tell me?"
Misty frowned. "Ash, I honestly didn't know how you would react. I mean, you could have
freaked on me or laughed. None of us knew, in fact we're still not sure, if you or Brock hold
an element. So we were going to keep it quiet until we knew for sure, but when we were
attacked, I knew I had to use the my element, or else the results could have been dangerous."
Ash frowned. "So, you were going to keep this a secret?"
Misty's frowned increased. "No. We were going to tell you, and soon, but how would you feel
to be keeping a secret from your best friends?"
Ash nodded, "Sorry. How come you didn't mention our kiss to them?"
Misty laughed. "With a gossip hungry Erika in the room? I'd rather face 20 Rocket members, by
myself, then deal with her in gossip mode."
"Misty, were you going to let me kiss you again before we were so rudely interrupted?"
"I was." Misty said.
Ash pulled Misty into his lap, and was about to kiss her again when Erika's shrill scream came
from the downstairs.

Not much of a cliffhanger, but then again, after explaining all the element crap, I just felt
drained. If you have any questions, leave a review or e-mail me, and I'll answer them.
