Brothers of the Heart

By Firehedgehog

Chapter Nine

      It was one boring day as far as Misty thought, it was still early in the

day... and it was very boring.

      'And what more my three bimbo sisters decided to take the day off,

hopefully not too many people will decide to challenge the gym today' she

thought with a slighty depressed sigh, it was such a boring day.

      It was at that moment that one of the gym aids entered the room she

was in, the aid was a fifteen year old boy who used the money he made here

to support his family.

      "Hey Misty a group of people are heading here, better get rady for a

challenge," he said, she sighed and she headed to great the trainers as they

entered.

      Seconds later a group of four entered the gym, her eyes widened as

she reconized not just one but three of them.

      "Ash, what are you doing here?" she asked surprised, she felt a slight

chill reconizing Sabrina and curiousity noticing Gary who was Ashs greatest

rival.

      "To visit of course, and also so that Matt here could battle you," Ash

said with his usual grin, at the name Matt Misty looked at the forth human

in the group. A teen taller then Ash slightly with gorgeous sapphier eyes

(reminded her of the ocean) and golden blond hair, she also noticed that only

a few of his pokeballs were full.

      "Hello Matt I'm Misty and the gym leader here, did you want to get

this match over right away?" she asked, he nodded and she noticed that he

not of yet spoken. With a sigh she led him to the gym area, quickly they took

there places while Ash and the others watched from the sides.

      "This match is between Matt Ketchum and Misty the gym leader,

begin," an aid yelled from the side, Misty gasped as she heard the name and

glared darkly at a largely grinning Ash.

      'I'll get him later' she thought, she then let one of her pokemon out.

      "Go Staryu!" she called, her pokemon appeared in a flash of red and

white light.

      "Go my friend," Matt said with a soft smile, the next thing Misty knew

was that she facefaulted. Floating in front of Matt was one of the rarest

pokemon in the world, one she had only dreamed of seeing... and to her

annoyance Matt and Mew looked like they were enjoying this way to much.

***

      Matt grinned as he saw Mistys reaction to mew, it was just as funny as

when she found out he was Ashs brother.

      "Where in the world did you get a mew!" she demanded in disbelief,

he shrugged... it would be his secret at least till he knew her better.

      "Do you really want to know?" he asked in a very low voice, she

nodded eagerly.

      "Well..." he said in a even lower voice leaning forward, the redhead

leaned forward ready to hear.

      "Yes," she said.

      "Its a secret," he said in a normal voice, he grinned as she facefaulted

yet again and glared at him.

      "Enough of this, lets get on with the battle," she said with a resigned

sigh, he nodded and became serious. Since mew had actully become his

pokemon he had been training his friend in all the attacks of other pokemon,

he was doing this with each of his pokemon. He wanted them to be able use

any attack, it wasn't really a huge challenge if each pokemon only knew

certain attacks.

      "Lets do it mew," he said, mew giggled and finally the fight truly

began.

***

      Mew grinned almost evilly at the red haired human, he reconized her

from the time on new Island.... that reminded that he had to contact Mewtwo

so he wouldn't kill Matt.

      "Staryu star ryu ryu" (Mew, how in the world were you captured by

this human) Staryu said in disbelief, mew rolled his blue eyes and wondered

why everyone always thought Matt had captured him like any other

pokemon.

      "Mew mew ew mew" (actually he saved my life and i really like him, I

want him to be my trainer?) mew told the starfish pokemon, he felt the

other pokemon disbelief at what he said.

      "Staryu, watergun!" Misty called, Staryu quickly sent water hurtling at

the floating feline which he easily sent away with counter.

      "RYU!" Staryu shouted as the water hit it sending it back, the starfish

pokemon actually hit the wall behind Misty its jewel blinking telling its bad

state.

      Mew winced feeling Starus pain as if his own, looking back at Matt he

saw that his trainer also could feel the pokemons pain.

      "Staryu is out of the match, match one goes to Matt," The aid called,

there was a flash of white and red light asa Misty recalled her pokemon.

      "Go Togetic!" Misty called releasing yet another pokemon, a second

later the evolved form of Togepi appeared... Mew sweatdropped for he could

feel that this pokemon was not very strong (misty still babied it too much

even after it finally evolved).

      "Mew, lets have one of the others have a turn now," matt called, Mew

nodded and floated to his trainer to watch the rest of the battle.

      "Go Yuki," Matt said with a smile, Mew almost fell to the ground

hearing his trainer call little Yuki to battle.

      "Arti," (yeah my turn) Yuki called happily flying out of a pocket, Mew

giggled seeing Mistys shocked look seeing the baby articuno.

      "I'm not going to even ask how you got a baby Articuno, but don't you

think its a bit young to battle?" Misty asked with narrowed eyes, Matts evil

grin made even mew sweatdrop nervously.

      "Yuki may be a baby, but shes more then you can handle," Matt said

calmly, Misty shrugged but ordered her pokemon to attack.

***

      Matt felt very energized, battle was what he lived for.. well at least

some of the time. The energy was hih in the room, abd this was his first

official pokemon battle.

      "Togetic, take down," Misty yelled, Matt could feel that she was over

confident that she could beat the small articuno, since Yuki was so very

young Yuki would of been beaten... if Yuki was like any other bsaby

pokemon.

      "Yuki, Ice Dagger Attack," he ordered, this attck he had made up just

for Yuki... not even the other humans in his group had seen it before.

      "Mew ew mew mew" (this will be entertaining) Mew muttered, the

feline had seen the attack when Matt had taught Yuki it.

      'Oh yes, I really can't wait to see what it will do' Matt thought with a

grin, the two pokemon rushed towards each other.

***

      Misty became very nervous when Matt called out the articunos attack,

she had a sudden feeling that she was out of her league against him.

      She gasped as Yukis attack began, silvery-blue light gathered under

the ice/flying pokemons winds. Just as Togetic was about to hit the articuno

Yuki let out a musical cry, Misty gave a yell as the whole world lit up...

everything seemed to go slow motion for the next few seconds.

      The energy shot out becoming silvery-blue ice in the shape of daggers,

it hit her pokemon fsending him painfully across the room. Then the light

was gone and the world resumed normal time, Misty gave a sigh of relief as

Togetic slowly got up.

      "Looks like your pokemon isn't as strong as you thing," she said with a

smirk, Matt only gave a small humor filled laugh.

      "Look again at Togetic," he said and she did, she then gasped as the

bird pokemon fell unconcious to the ground. Confused she recalled the

Knocked out pokemon, she stared at the younger teen in confusion.

      "Matt Ketchum has won the pokemon match against the Gym leader

Misty," the aid called, she watched silently as Yuki flew back to Matt and

snuggled down in a hidden pocket.

      "What kind of attack was that, I've never seen anything like that," she

said walking over to him, Matt smiled and walked towards her mew floating

just behind him.

      "I call the attack Ice Dagger, its a physical/phychic attack that takes

gives alot of damage, but that is only part of the attack. You noticed the flash

of light during the attack (she nodded), its like a leach attack... it take away

your health after the attack if your still standing," he explained, she nodded

again and wondered where he had gotten the technique and if she could get

her pokemon trained in it.

      "Wasn't it a bit of an overkill?" she asked, he gave a small laugh and

scratched the back of his neck.

      "Sorry about that, but I really wanted to see how that attack wrked

out against other pokemon," he said, Misty smiled and passed him teh gym

badge.

      "Congradulation Matt, now Ash..." she said turning to the dark haired

boy, Ash gave a nervous laugh and backed up a bit.

      "Yes Misty?" he asked, Misty pulled out her trusty mallot.

      "How come you never told me Matt was your brother when you came

in, and what more how come you never told me you had any siblings?" she

asked and you could almost hear a warning purr in her voice, Ash began to

sweat nervously.

      "Really Misty, i can explain," Ash said quickly, Misty grinned at him

evilly and began to chase him.

      "Ahhh... Misty, please don't hurt me," Ash yelled, Misty only laughed

evilly enjoying herself.

***

      "Maby we should tell Misty your adopted," Gary whispered to matt s

they watched the chase, Matt sweatdropped.

      "How about we tell her later, you have to stay out of the way when a

girl has a mallot out... those things hurt," matt told his friend, he winced

remembering Akane at the sight of that mallot.

      "Yes, lets just watch the show for now," Sabrina suggested, they all

sweatdropped heavily as Misty pulled out... yet another mallot.

      "Mewwww" (Scary) mew said with a shrudder, Matt could only agree.

***

      "James, I've located the twerp!" Jesse called, James head snapped up

with the words.

      "Good, we both know that Meowth would probably follow the twerp if

we were seperated... we better hurry to catch them," James said, minutes

later the two idiots were in the meowth balloon heading of to troble while

trying to come up with a new motto if meowth wasn't there.

***

      Mewtwo flew quickly through the ar his nerves high strung, he was

quickly coming closer to where mew was. He had felt his friends energy only

ten minutes ago appear, he had to hurry before it vanished again.

      'And if any human has captured Mew they will pay for taking my

friend' Mewtwo thought, in the distance he could see a city coming into view.
