1 Pokemon Atarashii Hinode-Chapter 2
Ages, disclaimers, etc, are the same as chapter one…enjoy the next chapter! ^^
It had been a normal peaceful night for the three trainers, but as Misty emerged slowly from her sleeping bag, something told her that something was different. After all, even she knew that good days wouldn't last forever. Pulling back her hair and wiping the sleep out of her eyes, Misty gazed around camp.
Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi were slowly cosuming their breakfasts by the fire, and Ash…where was Ash?
Tilting her head around she found him by the picnic table, PokeGear phone in hand, talking to someone. She watched as he nodded his head several times, and spoke into the receiver. Thinking nothing of it, she got up out of her sleeping bag and walked over to the campfire, picking up a breakfast plate Brock had already prepared for her.
"'Morning Misty," Brock greeted her, along with several 'pikas' and 'tokis' from the Pokemon.
Misty gazed over to Ash slowly studying him. His charcol black hair, slightly muscular arms and handsome face. Wait a minute! What was she thinking…Ash? Handsome to her. Almost wanting to kick herself she pulled her glance away, slightly blushing and again denying all attraction for the young man. Only a couple of minutes after that thought, she heard a small click of the phone and footsteps towards the campfire.
Ash cleared his throat, greeted by the expectant faces of Misty, Brock, Pika, and Togepi.
"So, Ash, was that the League? Are you in?" questioned Brock.
"Yep, they said I was definitely worthy for the spot, and that I am to meet them at the front entrance of the Indigo Plateau this time tomorrow for my testing to begin." Ash stated keeping a serious expression over his face, not once altering his emotion. This, Misty didn't understand. She would of thought that by now, Ash would be bouncing off the walls in excitement of finally coming close to his goal.
"That will be great, Ash! I've always wanted to see Indigo, and we can help you train a bit too. How long will we be there anyways? A week, two weeks?" Brock asked.
"Well," Ash started slowly, still in a slightly glum state, "you won't be going. See, the league said that I must enter alone, and that other trainers might affect my ability, or something like that." He paused, Misty and Brock's faces changed expressions, a little disappointed.
Brock then spoke up "But Ash, then how come you aren't excited? It seems like you are almost unhappy about something?"
Ash slowly closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, and then said, "That's the thing, Brock. Its not just two weeks long," he paused, "its two years."
Ash opened his eyes, his friends faces consumed in sadness. Stuttering, Brock said, "you mean then…we won't see you…for two years…. Ash…" Brock reached forward giving his buddy a hug. "Uh huh…I'm really gonna miss you guys…its much too long…" Ash sniffled, returning Brock's hug, then reaching forward to hug the completely flabbergasted Misty. She wrapped her arms around his neck, barely holding back tears. "Ash," she thought, "please don't leave me…" He slowly rocked her back and forth, letting her tears fall.
The next day, the three trainers, eyes still slightly red from crying, reached the designated spot at the Indigo Plateau. Standing there in silence, Ash slowly breathed in the air, looking around at the building and landscape before him. It wasn't fair to him. Ever since the morning his Pokemon journey had begun, he had dreamt endlessly of this moment. The moment of truth where he would achieve his goal as master. But the feeling he felt wasn't at all what he had expected. It wasn't happy and carefree as he had hoped, but sad. How could he leave his friends for two years, the friends who had stayed beside him every step of the way of his Pokemon journey, the friends who had cheered him on, the friends who made his whole journey worthwhile. Sniffling and brushing back a tear he turned around to face Misty and Brock.
Brock was the first to step forth, patting his buddy on the back, the two shared a quick hug as Brock slipped in some riceballs into Ash's bag, wishing him a goodluck, and reminding Ash to try to contact them as soon as his time was up, so they could meet up again. He slowly stepped away, allowing Misty to come forth.
Hands trembling, Misty stepped forward, unsure of what to do. After a few seconds, she burst into Ash's arms, giving him a long lasting sincere hug. She felt his arms go around her back and the two held there for several seconds before breaking. Misty sniffed and looked up into Ash's eyes, "Ash….you don't know how much I'll miss you…I really will…please come back soon…"
Her speech was soon interrupted as Ash reached forward slowly pressing his lips to hers in a quick, but sincere motion, leaving her completely in shock, and Brock in complete awe. She was practically glowing red as she blushed.
Regaining their composure, Brock and Misty waved goodbye to Ash, standing there until the last glimpse of him was seen, crossing over the horizon, into the sunrise, a light wind blowing overhead.

Whew. I tried to make this chapter longer, but it was kinda depressing to write since it was sad. The next chapter will hopefully be more uplifting, but I'm not telling you anymore than that. As always, please review. ^_^
