Chapter 4: The Search Continues
Misty and Brock have gone through three towns and haven't found Ash yet. Brock has even sent some friends of his own on lookout at some other towns, and alerted Ash's mom in Pallet to keep a lookout for him too.
"Brock, I'm worried that Ash may kill himself."
"Why would he do that?"
"Because I upset him way too much."
"He won't do that. Are you beginning to realize how much you hurt Ash?"
"Yes. I will never argue, nor insult him or his Pokémon."
"Just Ash? What about the other people that are around you. Not just me and Ash, what about your sisters, or other friends?"
"I know, I won't be like that towards anyone ever again."
"Good girl. Now what town should we check next?"
"Hmmm, how about that new town Crimson up north?"
"Why there?"
"I don't know, maybe he figured he could run as far as he can."
"Well okay, but it will take almost a whole month to get there."
"Well, it's worth a shot. Let's do it."
So Brock and Misty will go to the town where Ash has run off to. But will Ash forget what happened by the time she gets there. Only fate will decide.
Two Weeks Pass by............
Misty and Brock haven't found Ash on the way to Crimson City. Although Ash's mom got a hold of Brock and Misty and told them that Ash called her the other day.
"Misty, do you think that Ash May have went somewhere else because he called his mom yesterday?"
"I hope not. I feel like shit Brock. I haven't been this depressed in my life before."
Misty began to cry and hugged Brock. She cried for an hour.
"Misty, I know you feel bad, but if you don't stop crying, we can't find Ash just by standing here like this."
*SNIFF* "Ok Brock, lets go."
Misty and Brock are nearing Cerulean City. From there, they head straight to Crimson on a long, adventurous journey.
Meanwhile back at Crimson Forest...
"Hey Gary, have you ever had a good friend that hurt you like Misty did to me?"
"Once. When I was 13. One of my cheerleaders and I kinda fell in love. We went out for a while, had some laughs and then the news came. She was doing this out of pity because she felt bad for me. She never loved me at all, it was like some big joke to her. I was heartbroken for weeks. I literally had to postpone my Pokémon Journey because of that."
"Man, that sounds even worse than what I'm going through. How've you been since?"
"Well, I am weary of dating again. I just want to wait for the right person to come along. You understand."
"Yeah I know. When I got to know Misty better, I began to fall in love. She is the only person that makes my day when I see her. But, after what happened, I'm not sure if she's my desire anymore."
"You should just forget about it. Once I got over my problems, I felt a hell of a lot better. What I think happened between you two is she just went too far but didn't realize it. I don't think she really meant what she said. Haven't you ever gotten mad at someone, and say really stupid shit that ends up hurting their feelings?"
"Yeah. But this isn't the first time she has upset me before. This is like the tenth time this month. I just couldn't handle it so I left for good."
"Do you think that you will ever forgive her?"
"I'm not sure. One part of me says that I should forgive her and tell her that I love her and the other says that I should forget that she exists and find a new suitable lifestyle."
"You should do what your heart says to do. I know you will make the right choice."
"Thanks Gary, I appreciate all your help at a time like this."
"No problem Ash."
"Hey Gary, do you know of any good places that we can train for the Earth Badge?"
"Yeah, there is a town about one day away. There are some good trainers there. That will give us some good experience."
"Sounds good. Let's spend one more week here than we can go to that town. Sound Okay?"
"Ok, we'll do that."
Ash and Gary spent the week at Crimson City. They proceed to Platinum Town for some training that will raise their Pokémon's level up.
