When one dreams, all is possible.
But there is no time to dream in my life.
I finally changed the summary. This chapter is half past and half present. This chapter will FINALLY explain how Misty escaped and why Brock doesn't like Ash. Please enjoy and R&R.

Misty woke up feeling sick. She was in a small room with
nothing more than a bed, a TV,
and window. Both the window and the blinds were closed so the
room was covered
mostly in darkness. She stared at the ceiling for a while before
someone came in.
" Misty?"
She thought she recognized the voice.
" Todd?" she asked, frowning. " Where am I?"
" This is the Headquarters of the A*D*O"
" A...D...O?" she asked, confused.
" Let me explain. See, we... Well, I... When the...
Look, let me put it bluntly. There is a
world parallel to ours. In this world there are these things that
we have to fight with our
pokemon. They are called immortals."
Misty's face was blank. " What does that have to do with me?"
" Well, again, I'm going to put it bluntly. We want you to join."
" ME?" she asked, laughing, " Why me? There are better trainers than me."
" There may be better trainers, but you are a water
master. You have something that
separates you from them . It's your personality."
" Gee, I have a good personality? Thanks for helping my vanity."
" Misty, stop changing the subject. This is serious."
" I can't just join like this. I need time to think. I need more info."
" Look, we need your answer soon. However, there is
one thing I need to tell you before
you decide."
" What?"
" Once you join, you lose your place in the world."
" Excuse me?" she asked, confused.
" No one can know that you are a member or even that
you are alive. Nobody except 5
people who you really trust. People in the outside world already
think you are dead,
anyways. They think you died in the fire."
" The fire? The fire! W...what happened?"
" You survived."
" How?"
Todd hesitated.
" We put a dead body in your closet, and when the smoke
made you faint, Sabrina
teleported you out of there."
" Sabrina?"
" Yes. Sabrina, would you come here for a sec?"
Sabrina suddenly materialized in front of them.
" Sabrina! I haven't seen you since you and Team Rocket
pulled off that heist at the
Indigo Pokemon Lab."
" I've been working on other projects." Sabrina said carelessly.
" So you arranged it all. The fire, the body. You put
MY life in danger to convince me to
join?" she asked incredulously.
" No!" Todd exclaimed, shocked, " The truth is that somebody elses wanted to kill you. We, actually Sabrina, found out, and we decided to recruit you. Look, you can tell Ash. After all, he is the only thing that matters to you in the world now that your sisters died."
" Ash?" she asked, memories flooding back to her. Tears filled her eyes.
" Misty are you okay?" Todd asked, concerned. " You know what, obvioulsy something is wrong. I'm not going to bother you right now about joining. You don't have to."
" No. I am going to join. There is nothing left for me." Misty said, regaining her composture. When she tripped and fell, her mother would tell her to get up as if it had never happened. How different could a scraped knee and a broken heart be?

" I don't feel right leaving him there, Jessie."
" Well, what do you want us to do?"
" We should go back and get him. His mouth will get him killed."
" You're right. Let's go." Jessie gave in.
James walked behind Jessie, still scared of what would happen if they were caught. They stopped in front of the room they had brought Ash to earlier. They went in quietly. Not wanting to get caught.
" Twerp? Are you there." Jessie asked in a whisper. She saw him sitting on a chair. Fascinated by a scene going on in one of the monitors.
" Twerp, are you okay?" Jessie asked concerned. Ash was snapped out of his trance.
" Jessie? James? What are you doing here?"
" We came to get you out."
" But..."
" Come on, let's go."

" So you killed her?" Brock asked Giselle.
" Yes. They found the body."
" Good. It's a pity she died so soon. She only lived in misery for a very short time after Ash dumped her. If she hadn't died so soon, she would have suffered more. We put her out of her misery too soon."
" Brock, why do you hate Ash?"
" Not really your business, now is it?"
" Come on. You know you can tell me" she said in a low sultry voice.
" Ash's dad and my mother were having an affair. When my father found out after my mothers death, he left us. Believing none of us children belonged to him. Because of Ashton's dad, we suffered years of misery."
" But why Ash?"
" The children are punished for the sins of their fathers. I was planning to kill Ash before he became Master. Completely destroy this pitiful place you call your headquarters."
" That's all I needed to know. Jessie. James. Take him."
" What the hell is this about?" Brock asked angrily.
" Amy told me to be careful. Said she thought you were up to something. You have a very loose tongue, Brock." Giselle smirked. James came into the room. Jessie followed him in. Together they knocked him out. They carried him outside, and dumped him behind some bushes. They walked back to Giselle's office.
" Jessie. James. Ash appears to have escaped. Did you lock the door after you put him in the C.R.?"
" Of course." Jessie replied nervioulsy.
" There's footage of him walking down the hall. Limping. Do you think maybe he tried going out through the window, but got hurt in the process?"
" IT's possible." James answered.
" Thank you. You may leave."
Jessie and James almost scrambled out of the room.
" I think our plan to make it seem like the twerp escaped worked." James said, once out of the room.
" Don't be too sure. She was a little suspicious of us."
" Jessie. We'll have to quit."
" Yes. I think you are right."

PRESENT
Ash looked at his new room. He should have asked for more information before telling his mother he was going to join. He set down his stuff on top of the bed and waited for his partner to arrive. A man walked into the room. Ash didn't recognize him.
" Ashton, or rather Satoshi, you are an extraordinary trainer. A fine addition to A*D*O"
" What am I supposed to do?"
" We are waiting for your partner to show up. She'll be here in a momemnt."
A woman walked into the room. Ash looked at her. She didn't seem too bad. She was probably nice.
" Is she my partner?" Ash asked. She smiled.
" No. I'm here to tell you that your partner has arrived. She has been with us for a while. She is used to working on her own, though. I have to warn you, she has a temper. Try not to get on her nerves or she'll..." she was interrupted by another voice.
" Or I'll kill him, right? You really should know I wouldn't do that." She turned around to face Ash. " I'm your new partner, Ka..." she stopped as she saw his face. Him being about a foot or so taller, It had taken her a while to see his face. It took Ash a second to recognize her too. Misty.
" Kasumi, is something wrong?" the man asked after she had stopped mid-sentence.
" Y...yeah. I...I'm fine. Excuse me. I have to go." she said quickly
" Well, that went well." the man said. " I'll see you tomorrow.
Ash didn't answer. He was too surprised. That was Misty. Besides the fact that he had seen her picture, he had also seen her in the woods. He layed down. Sleep tonight, do all the agonising thinking tomorrow.
