Love and Lost: Part 4
A Pokèmon: AAMRN fic made by Pikachu
Author's notes: I decided to make this chappie earlier than all of you expected. I hope you liked that other chapter, Payback Time. I hope you enjoy this too.
I do not hate Misty. I just want her to lose the goody-goody girl type for a moment.
Thanks for the comment made by someone which said it seemed so real and it's like a soapie (soap opera). Thanks to you and sorry if I couldn't remember your name…
***Start…***
"So…that's it Ash." Lily finished, setting down her can of lemon soda.
"Thanks a lot, Lily, Daisy, Violet. I really thank you." Ash smiled, making Daisy and Violet blush. "Without you three, I wouldn't have known of what Misty has been doing to me the past months. I think we have to go now, since it'd be an hour drive back to Pallet and I have to go to the Gym."
"Wait a minute. You know Ash; you've grown up a lot ever since we last saw you eight years ago. You're so handsome and great, I bet you get all the girls swooning all over you!" Violet said, resting her chin against her hand.
"No, not really." Ash said, blushing from the comment.
"Oh c'mon! Don't be humble with us!" Lily urged.
"And besides, I went to Pallet for a Pokèmon Fair being held there. I passed by the newly built Pallet City Gym and saw girls waving placards with 'We Love Ash!' or The Pokèmon Master's the Best!. And you say that you're not popular." Daisy continued, making Erika giggle.
"He's very humble." Erika commented.
"Well, I think we better go now. I really thank you three." Ash said as he stood up, Erika following suit. "Bye." Erika ad Ash went out of the room and out of the gym.

Misty walked absentmindedly towards the lounge where her sisters hang out. She wanted to speak to her sisters about telling her secret to Ash without permission.
She opened the door to find her sisters talking to each other.
"You know, I can't believe Ash had grown up so much. I think I'm having a crush on him!" Daisy said jokingly. "But really, I have to admit. How can a twerp like that grow up into a very cute and good-looking celebrity?"
"Lots of hard work, I guess. He's been searching the whole wide world to be the greatest Pokèmon Master and he did it." Lily commented.
"I do feel so sorry for Ash…after all he's been through, he's going through these things…being in love." Violet sighed. "I could never imagine Misty doing that…"
"Ahem…" Misty cleared her throat to make herself noticeable. "I see you've been talking about that annoying twerp again." Misty sneered.
"Misty?" Lily asked in disbelief.
"Miss me?" Misty sneered again. This time she grew a bit quiet, her long red hair tied up in a ponytail. "I can't believe you guys did this to me."
"Do what?" Daisy sneered back.
"Say my secrets to everyone."
"Hey look here little missy," Lily stood up. "We said that disgusting secret of yours to Ash because he needed it. After all the pain you put him through, that's all we can do to help him."
"Is that disgusting?" Misty crossed her arms across her chest. "What's disgusting about that? Like you don't do it…"
"We don't do it, because it makes us as low as Ratattas. We are not that kind of people that will go as low as you to achieve what we want." Violet said, standing also.
"You don't understand, do you, Misty? Betraying someone who loves you very much is one of the most disgusting, revolting and horrible things you can do. And what will you do if you'll find that annoying brat of yours kissing someone else?" Daisy countered.
"That will never happen to me." Misty said airily.
"Yes it can. You're no perfect little girl which everyone loves." Violet added.
"What did happen to you?" Lily stepped up to Misty. "Why did you change? Why did you change into that self-centered uncaring person? Do you even know what you did to us and to everyone who cares about you? Do you know…how much pain you caused Ash to go through?"
"Why would I care about that brat?" Misty scoffed.
"You don't care anymore…that brat Gary changed you…changed you to that monster that cares for no one…" Violet said, eyeing her sister.
"It seems that she's not our sister anymore…she's not the pretty, kind and cheerful girl we knew…the girl Ash Ketchum loved…" Daisy added. "We can't do anything more."
"Why are you all picking on me???? Can't you pick on your own lives instead of mine?" Misty yelled.
Smack!
Lily slapped Misty on the other cheek.
"Don't you dare raise your voice on me, Misty. Don't even dare." Lily said menacingly, her eyes turning into slits. "You understand that? Have you lost your respect for you elder sister?"
"You are not our sister anymore. We care about you because we're your sisters." Daisy whispered "We can't change you anymore and I think no one will be able to."
"C'mon, let's see if our pool water's set right. It's one hour 'till our next show." Violet said walking out the door.
"Yeah." Lily answered. With that, Lily, Daisy and Violet walked out of the lounge and went to the pool, leaving their shocked sister alone.

Misty walked silently down the corridors to her room. She opened the door and walked silently inside, a tear falling helplessly down the carpeted floor. Misty sobbed as she sat down heavily on her bed, her hand scooping up the tears, which were falling weakly into her hands.
She looked at the small tear-puddle built in her palm.
Tears still flowing into it from her eyes like a waterfall.
Tears like her, falling…
Waning…
Losing…
Vanishing…
Fading…
… into the deep dark pit of sadness and loneliness that her evil heart had dug into her poor soul…
How could she stop herself from hurting him more?
How could she stop her feelings raging inside her heart and soul?
How could she…how could she do this to him?
How did she find the courage to betray her loyal lover?
How did she find herself kissing Gary Oak?
These were the questions swimming across her head, soon developing into a headache. Togepi ran to her side, looking up to her.
"Toge toge priii?" It asked, a tear developing in its shiny black eye.
"Don't cry for me…you don't have to shed a tear … you don't deserve to be like me, Togepi…" Misty whispered, lying on her side, clutching Togepi nearer to her.
"Tell me…someone tell me…what did I do?" she mumbled before shutting her eyes, her salty tears staining the blue-covered bed.

Erika knocked 3 times on Ash's wooden door. She hummed a tune while waiting until Ash opened it.
"Good evening Erika." Ash greeted, wearing only pajamas.
"Hey Ash. Umm…Can I come in?" Erika asked uncertainly.
"Sure." Ash and Erika came inside Ash's white-colored room, finally sitting down on his cream-colored bed.
"Ash?"
"Yeah."
"Can I say something?"
"Sure."
"Ash, I really have to be honest."
"About what?"
"I know that Misty hurt you a lot, you're probably afraid of loving again, aren't you?" Erika asked.
"No, not really…" Ash denied.
"I have to be honest with myself and with you…" Erika leaned over and let her lips touch his, her arms wrapped around his neck. Ash's eyes widened, feeling her soft touch. They were there, in Ash's room, sitting in Ash's bed…
Erika pulled away. "I love you, Ash. And if you give me a chance, I would never betray you like Misty did…"

The bright sunlight streaked across the room. Misty sat up, remembering that she cried herself to sleep last night. She looked down at Togepi who was sleeping soundly.
She stood up and headed to the bathroom. She got a shower and dressed up, went out of her room and headed outside, leaving Togepi alone and sleeping.
She walked and walked, not knowing where to go… and suddenly, she bumped into someone.
"Hey Mist." A voice said. Mist…no one calls me Mist except for Ash… Misty looked up hopefully to see his face, but to her dismay, Gary came into view.
"Hi Gary…" Misty said nonchalantly. Gary pulled on her arm and dragged her to her room again.
"Look Gary, I want to break this --!" Misty was cut off, Gary pulling her down to the bed and started kissing her. Misty pulled away.
"Stop it!" Misty yelled, not aware of her sisters outside. Good thing the door was closed.
"Stop what, cutie?" Gary said, eyeing her.
"Just stop it! I want to end this relationship right now!" Misty yelled, frustrated. Her long red-orange locks were a bit messy because of Gary and her blue eyes were blazing. Gary grinned.
"Oh c'mon baby," Gary started. "Come over here." Gary reached out for her arm when she suddenly yanked her arm away.
"Look here Gary, I don't want to continue this relationship with you!" Misty shouted.
"Why not? You've got me, babe. What else do you want?" Gary asked, running a hand through his messy brown hair. Toegpi got up and started to cry, but the two ignored it.0
"I've lost Ash because of you!"
"Oh that loser?" Gary commented, laughing. "You'd want him instead of me?"
"Yes I will."
"And besides Mist, I'm greater in anything else than him."
"He cares for people, Gary. He cares."
"Oh yeah? You possibly don't remember your crying words to me 'He doesn't care, Gary! He doesn't care at all!'"
"Well I know now what I have done to him so you better leave me alone!" Misty yelled.
"What will you do now? Come crying back to him and say you're sorry?" Gary mocked. "Those things never work on us, Mist."
"Just shut up, Gary!"
"You've done anything possible to hurt that little piece of **** so don't even try. Just enjoy your life and stay with me babe."
"Gary! Get out!"
"Oh c'mon Mist. You know you want me."
"No I don't! Now get out of my room!"
"Oh c'mon." Gary pulled her arm and pulled her towards the bed. He pinned her and started to kiss her. Misty kicked him hard in the shins and stood up, running towards the door.
"I said get out of my room!" Misty yelled, and the door was opened.
"Get out, Oak." Lily said, a Dewgong beside her. Violet was behind her with a Starmie and Daisy with a Poliwhirl.
"Okay, okay. You don't have to attack me, y'know." Gary got up and walked out. "But don't come crawling back to me, babe."
Misty sobbed as she collapsed down the floor.
"I'm sorry Lily, Daisy, Violet…I'm so sorry…" Misty sobbed out as her sisters went to her.
"It's okay, Misty…you were carried away." Daisy said, stroking her sister's hair.
