Reunion
*It's been seven years since out friends/heroes started their Pokemon journey. Ash is still training to be the best Pokemon trainer there is. Misty has become the best water Pokemon master, and Brock.well he's become the best Pokemon breeder...*
"So, Mr. Ketchum, how does it feel to be on your way to being the best?" Asked a long nosed reporter. The raven-haired boy flicked his hat to the side and smirked.
"The best...what else?"
Everyone chuckled before the reporters began to bug the boy some more. Not that he minded. This boy had always loved being in the spot light. However, it lost most of its appeal about four years ago...when his friends left him to get on with their lives. Well, the girl and he had never been really close...but only because they both cared too much about pride to show that they did care.
An hour later the boy was able to leave the crowded area and get some fresh air. He sighed, some of his hair falling from his hat and into his face. He hated to admit it, but he missed his friends...even the girl. The boy shook his head. Wait...no he didn't! He missed everyone BUT her. Well...ok...he missed her...but only a little!!
The boy, Ash Ketchum, walked into the woods-ready to start another adventure. The little Pokemon on top of his head was curled up and asleep. Ash never did understand how Pikachu could fall asleep on top of his hat while he was walking. Oh well...some things were better left unknown.
Around Midnight, Ash heard something move in the bushes. He stood ridged, the hairs on the back of his neck on end. When the noises increased, he stealthily pulled out a poke-ball ready to attack. But, in the heat of the moment, Ash wasn't paying attention to what was behind him. And before he knew what was happening, and Akins came slithering out, it's fangs barred.
"PIKACHU!" He shouted as he tried to dodge out of the way.
Suddenly, there was a large wave, which splashed over the Akins. Hissing, the large snake backed away. It wasn't in the mood to drown. Giving one last agitated hiss, it slithered away. Ash tried to get back up, but a splitting pain went up his leg.
"Argh!" He groaned as he sat back down.
"Damn..." He whispered. His leg had a large slice through it.
Ash gripped his leg as he looked around. Where had that wave come from? There weren't any oceans near by. There weren't even any creeks where he was. Just then the bushes began to move once more. Ash groaned inwardly. Not again! However, instead of a Pokemon, a person immerged from the shrubbery. It was too dark to tell who it was...but a person non-the less.
"Stay back!" Snapped Ash. "I can take care of myself!"
The figure just snickered. "Riiight. Just like you handled that Akins."
Ash groaned. The figure was female. That's all he needed. To be embarrassed in front of a girl. He sighed. He might as well know who he was being laughed at by.
"And who are you Ms. Know-it-all?"
The figure sighed. "You haven't changed much..." She snapped. "Just as stubborn as ever when ever some one tries to help."
Ash frowned. "Do I know you?"
The figure stepped into a small patch of light that the moon was casting. His jaw fell open in shock. The figure had shoulder length hair; some strands were back in a side pony. She had bright blue eyes...and she was really skinny.
"MISTY?!"
The girl smirked. "Who else egg-head?"
Ash began to mouth like a guppy for a couple minutes.
"Well...I...I...haven't seen you in...so long..."
Misty rolled her eyes. "Yea...and I bet you enjoyed that too."
Ash smirked. "Well it certainly is a lot more peaceful without you."
Misty was about to snap at him for the comment, but kept her mouth shut. She had just noticed Ash's cut. She looked at him momentarily before she knelt down in front of him.
"Let me see that cut..." She asked softly.
Ash's eyes widened. "No way!!"
Misty frowned. "Ash! Just let me see!"
"You'll pour sulfur or something on it!!"
"Don't be such a baby!!"
"I'm NOT being a baby!"
"Yes you ARE!"
"No I'm NOT!"
Misty clenched her fists. "NOW I remember why I hated you so much!"
"Now I remember why I was GLAD you left!!"
Misty was hurt, but she didn't let on. Instead she frowned and pulled out a first-aid kit from her backpack. Then she through it at his feet.
"Fine! YOU do it then! But when it's infected don't say I didn't warn you!"
With that she stood up and stomped off deeper into the woods. Ash stared at the first-aide kit for a few guilty seconds before he slowly stood up.
"Misty! Wait!!"
The redhead stopped and slowly turned around. The frown still planted on her pretty features. Ash bit his lower lip. He tried to swallow his pride.but it was too painful.
"I...I...fine."
Misty's frown faded. But she didn't smile.
"Does this mean you'll let me help?"
Ash grimaced. "I...for this one time."
Misty smiled slightly before she walked over and knelt before him once more. Ash sighed as he sat back down. Gently, Misty wrapped some cloth around his leg. He blushed madly. Her touch was so soft and feathery...
Ash shook his head violently. WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!! This was Misty the tomboy...his rival!! Well...not Gary rival...but still a rival!!
"Are you ok Ash?" He heard her ask.
Ash looked down at her, he blushed. She was so close...he could easily kiss her. He slapped himself. He needed to get away from her. For some reason she was affecting him...with what he wasn't sure. But he knew it was her fault. Slowly, he backed away. She frowned before she stood up.
"That wasn't that bad now was it?" She taunted.
Ash frowned. "Oh.. ..shut up."
Misty sighed. "Whatever. Now lets go."
Ash's eyes widened. "Go? Go where?"
Misty just kept on walking. "Where you were headed."
"Ohhh no! You aren't coming with me!" He snapped.
Misty set her hands on her hips and faced him. "Oh yes I am Ash Ketchum. Last time I left because I HAD to. My sisters needed help with their act. And THIS time I'm NOT leaving until I get my BIKE! Get it? Got it? Good!"
Ash groaned out loud. "THAT'S WHY?! WHEN will you give that up?!!"
Misty frowned. "When I get my bike back!"
Ash clenched his fists. He wouldn't admit it, but he was somewhat hurt by the fact that the reason she was coming along was for that stupid bike.
"Why do you care about that bike so much anyway??" He snapped.
Misty was about to answer, but her eyes clouded over and she hung her head. But she soon recovered. However she still looked upset.
"None of your business. Now lets get moving."
With that Misty began to walk off once more. Ash sighed before he followed her. There was no way of getting out of it anyway...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Misty wake up."
"Five more minutes Daisy..."
"Hey! I'm not Daisy!"
Misty blinked her eyes open and saw Ash kneeling beside her. She groaned.
"Oh...it's you...and it felt so good to be asleep."
"Gak! That was-Oh! You scrawny little---"
Misty bolted up and brought out her trusty mallet. She smacked him over the head.
"I am NOT scrawny!" She snapped.
Ash gripped his head as he moaned. "Ohh...look at all the dancing Pokemon..."
Pikachu sweat dropped at the teenagers' bickering. Just then Togapi came up next to him.
"Togaprii-pi Toga Pi? (Why do mommy and daddy always fight?)"
"Pika Pi?? Pikachu Pika. (Daddy?? Uh...well...that's just Ash and Misty for you."
"Priii! (Mommy!!)" Cried the little Togapi as it ran up to Misty. Misty stopped yelling at Ash to pick up her Togapi.
"Hi Togapi! Just wake up?"
"Prii!"
Ash bolted up and called out to his Pikachu.
"Morning Pikachu! Morning Togapi!"
"Pika!"
"Togaprii! (Morning Daddy!)"
Misty sweat dropped as a light blush came to her delicate cheeks.
"Ash? Your Daddy?? HA! Yea right..."
Ash blushed, but his hat hid it. "Y-yea...no way would I want to be even considered it since Misty is your Mommy!"
Misty spun to face Ash, ready to yell at him. But Togapi interrupted.
"Togapriii! Pi Toga Pi!! (He IS Daddy! Ash is Daddy!)"
"No Sweetie, he's far from being Daddy." Said Misty softly.
But Togapi started crying. Ash and Misty covered their ears.
"Togapi! It's ok! I'll find you a Daddy!" Cried Misty over the Togapi's wails.
Ash pulled out his Pokedex. "Dexter, what's wrong with it?"
"Togapi: An egg Pokemon which claims the first two people it sees as its Mother and Father."
Ash groaned. "Well...Misty was the very first...and I was the second. So that explains it..."
Misty sighed as she shared a look with Ash. The both pouted. There was no way of getting out of this one if they wanted to have a peaceful journey.
"Ok Sweat-pea...Ash is your Daddy." Misty mumbled, trying to be cheery.
Togapi immediately stopped crying and started laughing. "Mommy! Daddy!"
Misty and Ash groaned. But then Ash noticed something.
"Hey guys! Look! It's Pewert!" He cried.
Misty picked up her Togapi and ran after Ash.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ash ran to a certain house. Out of breath, he knocked on the door. Soon, a boy about twenty opened the door. He had spiky brown hair and squinted eyes. Ash grinned.
"Brock!"
They boy gave a huge grin and hugged Ash tightly.
"Ash?? Is that really you? Oh it's so good to see you!"
Ash smiled. "Likewise! And Great job with becoming the world's best Pokemon Breeder!"
Brock grinned before Ash asked. "Uh...why are you still living here?"
Brock sighed. "I have to help my dad raise my brothers and sisters...he isn't very good with kids."
Then Brock noticed something. Slowly he looked behind Ash and saw the redheaded girl he was all too familiar with.
"Misty??!"
The girl smiled softly, letting him know that it was her. Brock grinned as he ran over to his other friend and hugged her tightly.
"Misty! I can't believe it's you! Look how tall you've gotten!"
Misty laughed. "I haven't really grown at all, Brock."
"You have from the last time I saw you!"
With that he swung her around, causing her to laugh. At the sight, Ash felt himself growing angry. How dare Brock get chummy like that with Misty!! She wasn't his type!! Clenching his fists, he tried to calm himself. It wasn't like he cared. He hated Misty! He could care less if she went and jumped off of a cliff!!
'Then why are you so upset?' Asked a nasty little voice inside of him.
Ash frowned. 'Because we're wasting time!'
'Sure...you just keep telling yourself that. Personally, I think you're jealous.'
'I AM NOT!!!! And I'll prove it!!'
"Hey Brock!" He cried.
Brock and Misty looked over at him. He gulped.
"Why don't you come with us?"
Brock raised an eyebrow. "Where you headed?"
Ash shrugged. "Just going from city to city, earning my badges. Come on...for old times sake?"
Brock looked at Misty to Ash, they both were smiling. He sighed.
"I wish I could...but what about the kids and my Father?"
Just then there was a deep voice behind them. All three spun around to see Brock's father. He smiled.
"It's ok, Son. I've got in under control."
"But...Are you sure?"
"Yes. Now come on Brock. You're twenty...you shouldn't have to be stuck here raising kids that aren't even your own."
"But they're my siblings..."
Brock's father set an encouraging hand on his son's shoulder. "It's ok...I've got it under control."
Brock grinned as he looked at his two friends. "Alright then...I'll come."
Ash and Misty grinned happily. Ash's smile was somewhat forced. He wanted Brock to come, he really did. They were close friends! It was just.why was Brock so chummy with Misty?
'Woa, Woa, Woa! I don't care! The could get married and I wouldn't care!!!'
Ash sighed, yea...that was it. He was just tired from staying up almost all night.
Brock quickly said his good-byes and kissed his younger siblings' forehead.
"You guys be good, ok?" He called.
His siblings giggled as they waved good-bye.
Ash grinned. "Welcome back, Brock."
Brock stared off dreamily into space. "Now off to find Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys!"
Misty and Ash sighed in aggravation.
"Don't even start Bucko..." Mumbled Misty.
Ash smirked. "Don't be too hard on him Misty, he can't help you're his so called *younger sister*."
Misty's eyes were blazing as she yelled. "Oh really Ash Ketchum??! Well at least I don't dance in front of video cameras!"
Ash and Misty began to argue and bicker. Brock sweat dropped. Some things just don't change....or do they?
(So Whatcha think? Bad? Sucky? Good? Should I continue? R/R!!!)

"Brock!"
They boy gave a huge grin and hugged Ash tightly.
"Ash?? Is that really you? Oh it's so good to see you!"
Ash smiled. "Likewise! And Great job with becoming the world's best Pokemon Breeder!"
