Part 1: No More Brock
Description: Ash, Misty, and Brock all have to put their dreams on the line to take care of their very sick families who were poisoned by Team Rocket. But as each is trying so hard to make sure they won't be losing a family member they're not even realizing how much they're losing each other.
Disclaimer: I forgot to mention in my last fanfic, I don't own Pokemon or the characters, of course. Only Misty's mother, Rose and father, Christopheor who I made up.
Loved & Lost Part 1: No More Brock
"Dear Flint, I hear that you've come down with the flu a little, sorry to hear that, hope you're okay though. Drink lots of liquids, okay. Anyway since from the last letter you wanted to know how the journey was going, it's going fine. All my pokemon and friends are well. Misty and Ash haven't been getting along to well once in a while, but that's nothing new. As ushual they'll get over it and be nice to each other again. Suspciously Team Rocket hasn't been bothering us lately, maybe they've given it up. But knowing them... They haven't. Probably still planning another loser sceme to steal Pikachu that we'll beat again. Well, that's all for now, Flint-I mean... Father. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love, Brock."
"What a pitiful letter..." Said Giovanni, "We've failed getting Pikachu many times, It's obvious to spot through this letter Ash and his pokemon aren't strong just because of how hard they train, it's because him and his friends have such a strong bond." "Yeah, so what's your point?" Asked Meowth. "Listen to me, it's a well known fact that whenever you want to attack a hero, you don't go for his mind or body, you aim for his heart, that this his weak spot, if a tradgedy happened with him and his beloved friends it would tear him and Pikachu apart and they'll be too weak to battle giving us the chance to steal Pikachu, it's genius!" Smiled Giovanni. "Yeah, only one problem, how do we break them apart? They care so much for each other, it's positively sickening," Commented Jesse. "You're right..." He thought for a second, "Wait! We'll not just aim for his heart we'll aim for all of their hearts, what are the closest things to them?" Asked Giovanni. "Each other?" Asked Meowth. "No, try something else," Said Giovanni. "Their pokemon?" Asked James. "No... I want to go for the next best thing," Smiled Giovanni. "What is that, boss?" Asked Jesse. "Their families," He smiled staring at Misty's letter, "If each has a family crisis, them and their pokemon will rush to it, after all... Blood is thicker than water, first comes your family, than your friends, so while each is trying to take care of their families, Ash won't have his friends cheering him on and keeping him company, that's when we strike for his Pikachu!" Grinned Giovanni. "Great plan, boss, but what should the crisis be?" Asked Jesse. Giovanni was in deep thought and by accident dropped the ltter to the floor, Persian took the letter with his teeth and handed it to Giovanni, Giovanni took it, "Hmm..." He said reading it, giving Persian a pat on the head. Meowth glared in pure jealousy. "Well in this letter, the girl comments on her mother coming down with the flu, so... Let's make each family get real sick... Or better yet, poison them. We'll collect the poison from a Beedrill and get each Team Rocket member to sneak to each of the family's homes and infect them with it" Said Giovanni. "How do we get the poison into them, boss?" Asked James. "Find a way, you idiots! I can't think of everything around here!" Yelled Giovanni. "Before we go can you at least tell us who should we infect first, sir?" Asked Jesse. "First the boy who's always cooking for them, I think he goes by the name of Brock, then go for the girl's family and then last but not least... Ash's family- His mother" Grinned Giovanni. "Right!" Jesse, James, and Meowth all said together and then left.

"Ash... Could you pass the salt, please?" Asked Misty glaring at Ash. "Get it yourself, I'm busy" Said Ash studying his Pokedex. Misty leaned over the table and picked it up, then sat back in her chair and slammed the salt on the table. Brock was a little startly by it but kept eating. "It wouldn't hurt for you to be gentlemen sometimes, isn't it rude to study your pokedex at the table," Said Misty as Ash kept ignoring her purposly. Misty began to get a little irratated. "Hey... I'm talking to you!" Confirmed Misty as Ash kept on ignoring her. Misty snatched his pokedex. "Hey!" Ash finally said leaning over her, reaching for the pokedex, "Come on, Mist, give it back!" "Would you listen to me!" Then there they went into another arguement. Brock sighed. "Oh, brother... Here they go again..." "Pikachu..." Sigh Pikachu. Ash finally got hold of it and sat back in his seat making sure it was fine as Misty placed her arms at the table, fraustrated. "You know why I don't listen to you, Misty, Misty, you're mouth is always working over time," grumbled Ash. "Yeah, well it's too bad your brain doesn't" Misty grumbled back. Ash stuck out his tongue at her, showing how much he didn't care what she thought. "Sleep with one eye open, Ash Ketchum," Misty glared at Ash then continued eating. Togepi was just waking up from his nap on the windowsill and saw a man walking towards to door. "Togepriiii!" Cheered Togepi. Ash, Misty and Brock turned their heads to Togepi. "What is it Togepi?" Asked Misty... The doorbell rang. The three waiting for someone to answer the door, Ash and Misty just glared at each other and continued eating. Brock could see not one of them was going to choose to get up. So he answered the door. "Are you Brock Harrison?" Asked the man. "Yes," Answered Brock suspiciously. "There's been an accident in your hometown, your father is in the hospital and if you don't come home immediately to take care of your minors- meaning your brothers and sisters, we will be forced to send them to an adoption center," Said the man. "What?" Yelled Brock, the man handed him a piece of paper. "Your father's staying at this hospital if you want to visit him," Said the man, "Good bye." "But I can't go back home, I've got to stay here with my friends," Said Brock, the man turned around, shocked by his remark. "What comes first your friends or your family?" Asked the man. "My friends have become like my family, you're putting me in a very rough decision," Said Brock. "I'm sorry, but if I were you... I'd chose family, they were the first to love you, so they should come first," Said the man firmly. "What! Who are you to justify that?!" Yelled Misty from the table. "Sir, you may love your friends as much as your family, but there's one thing your family has that your friends don't that breaks the tie, your family has your blood, do you really want your brothers and sisters separated?" Asked the man. Brock said nothing; he just picked up his backpack, the man smiled as in the light of victory. "Brock..." Said Ash disappointed along with Pikachu. "Brock, what are you doing?" Said Misty. "I'm sorry, I care about you guys but he's right as much as I hate to say it my family has got to come first, I'll be back, I promise," Said Brock. "How long will you be gone?" Asked Misty. "Probably a few weeks, I guess," Said Brock. "So this is good bye again... Huh..?" Asked Ash. "I guess so," Said Brock. Misty rushed over to Brock. "Oh, Brock, I'm going to miss you," She hugged him as Ash walked over. "Yeah, it's gonna be hard without you," Said Ash shaking his hand. "Pika..." Agreed Pikachu sitting on top of Ash's hand. So as they gave their good byes, Brock left with the man. Ash and Misty sat back down at the table quietly, it all happen so fast. Misty moved her plate away from her, "You know suddenly I don't feel like eating." "I know..." Said Ash, "It reminds me too much of Brock." "Yeah..." Agreed Misty sadly; "It seems so empty without him, like I'm missing a part of me." "I know what you mean," Said Ash, "We've always been like the three musketeers, without Brock it's just the two of us, now, I don't feel as strong as I did before." "Chu..." Said Pikachu sinking in the chair Brock was sitting in. "Yeah... What happens if something really bad happens to Brock's father and he's no longer able to take care of Brock's brothers and sisters, Brock could have to stay there forever," Misty took a deep sigh, "Things can't get any worse". "So that's it... No more Brock..." Ash pointed out. "No more Brock," Misty said softly staring at her plate. "No more girl chasing or famous rice balls," Said Ash walking slowly around the room recalling it all. Misty's arms folded on the table as her head sand down. "No more proclaiming his love to the first pretty face he sees, only to get heart broken again," Said Misty in a weak laugh. Ash leaned against the wall as he looked up towards the ceiling, folding his hands across his chest. "This can't be it... He'll be back just like before... At least... Atleast I hope so"
Everything seemed to be working perfectly so far, Team Rocket had snuck into Brock's father's house and poisened his water with the Beedril's poisen as planned. Brock's father, Flint drank the water and fell the to floor. One of Brock's sisters came in and saw him on the floor and desperatly in tears called 9-1-1, they rushed over and drove him to the nearest hospital. Team Rocket had found the address by reading Brock's letter to his father, next would be Misty.
