*Splash

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, or any of its characters.

Author's note: I'm not sure but in Japan I think Ash is like 14, Misty is 15, and Brock is like 19. Even if that's not true, that's their ages now. Plus Ash, Misty and Brock can understand Pikachu.

'Something like this' = some ones thought

*Splash! * Ash's body plunged into the water, it got all too real.

Her body shook with a jolt, as she forced her eyes open. The shot of adrenaline in her lasted for a few seconds, she was breathing heavily and sweating.

Eyes not wanting to stay open, she felt tired and groggy and the worse thing to combine with those horrible two is fear. It just doesn't mix in the human body, so Misty's, just back from surgery, was no exception. After the moments of tense action waking from her very strange "sleep", her body shivered in a last resort to warn Misty to calm down. All the recovering girl could to was listen to this and let her eyes close again, her body had to regain its balance from its shock. Still trying to achieve a normal breathing pattern, she heard the deeply worried voice of someone come into the area.

It was Ash.

Ash looked up from resting his head in his hand, he heard the sudden inhale coming from Misty as she woke up. Looking over to her, he saw her body tenseify in shock.

Almost as if she had nearly been hit by something, or seen something happen to someone. Then he rushed over to her seeing her eyes close almost un-willingly as she shivered in front of him.

"Misty!" Reaching her, he saw that she seemed to be fighting her body's burning to rest. She might faint if he wasn't careful. Brock entered into the room hearing Ash shout. He came over next to Ash.

Fearful of what was happening to the person he cared for so much, he went on his knees to be at her level. Ash didn't want to worsen what she was going through. But he wanted so dearly to comfort her. Brock saw his distress, as quick as he could; he went to get a hand towel. He damped it with water and handed it to Ash.

"Thanks." He said to his still concerned Friend.

Carefully, Ash folded the towel and gently caressed Misty's forehead with it.

"Its alright Misty, Everything is safe. I'm right with you ok?" Ash whispered gently. She seemed to resist her body's demands, less. When she felt his touch and voice, unharmed of coarse.

Misty tried to speak, but she could only do so softly. Straining to speak she couldn't manage to get out she wanted to say. Trying harder only relayed in her incomplete thought.

"Ash..w-why…what..hap-p.." She took a deep breath and relaxed, she could ask questions later, she actually was forced to. Right now she knew Ash was in-fact ok, and she was back at the hospital recovering, feeling his presence and his gentle touch calmed her greatly.

"Misty I'm right here, I don't know what your dream has told you, but I'm here." He carefully lifted her hand to his chest so she knew for curtain. Now that Misty had truly calmed she had the means to slowly speak clearly with out having her thoughts jumble.

"Ash, I think something has gone.. r-really wrong..wi-with the way I'm dreaming. I-" At a total loss for what she was going through Ash held back the emotion in his watering eyes and caressed the side of her face. He held her lips from trying to move further with the tips of his fingers.

"Hey Mist, it's ok. We'll figure out what's going on. Please, you gotta rest. I'm not moving ok? I'll be right here, and ill be fine if you rest." She breathed his name a few times through his fingers before she fell softly back to sleep. It was Naturally too, so they hoped she wouldn't have the same affect on her dreaming.

He brushed his hand over her cheek. Exhaling slowly as he tried to make as little noise as possible. His eyes shimmered with emotion. It was so painful to see her in this condition. He had to find what was causing it and how to stop it before it ever happened again.

"What are we going to do?" Brock sighed falling in to a chair rubbing his eyes.

"For now wait till she gets 100% better," Ash, said facing him. "I can't do anything till then."

"Ok, I'm ready let's go."

"To where?"

"Any where we want," Ash replied to Misty laughing happily, "your able to come with me."

"Yes! And don't you forget it."

"Never will, never can."

"So where are we really off too?" Brock asked rolling his eyes.

"Well, I'm not sure, I wouldn't call our little visit to the hospital a slight detour. I'm completely off track." Ash began to think when a nurse ran out after them from the hospital.

"Mr. Ketchum wait!" reaching them the nurse held out a piece of paper to Ash. "This came to Misty's room right after you left and was addressed too you."

"To me? That's strange, thank you so much, uh.." Ash was about to ask for the nurse's name but she turned quickly back into the hospital.

"Weird." Ash looked blankly as his friends gathered around him to stare at the Mystery paper. Opening to read it he noticed the shortness of the note.

AshKetchum-

From the winds of water, but not today, your curiosity is here to stay.

You will come to the island that seems pure and green, but greater things are sure to be

Seen.

You'll find them there unknown true, although having great matters to do with you.

This is not a riddle, nor a Rhyme, the sender only wants to you show the crime it had to commit to keep you safe but now that you're wiser come and see the way past originally was to be.

-AK

"What did that mean?" Brock queried.

"Ash if it's to you, AK, then why is it from you?" Misty asked.

"I have no idea what this is about, do you think some one like me could come up with this?"

"Good point. Maybe it's telling us where to go." Misty implied

"Lets see," Brock said whipping out a magnifying glass. "It mentions us going to an island, that seems pure and green. And it must be around here, so maybe there is one on the map." Ash looked at the map and located they bay. There he saw one island.

"We should try that one, it's not to far from here." Ash looked to Misty who had a concerned expression on her face.

"What is it?" He asked gently.

"It seems a little creepy Ash. Look at those words, 'seen' and then 'was to be'. Its almost implying that something happened we don't know about. And," She took a deep breath and looked into Ash's eyes realizing something. "I know who the sender 'AK' really is."

"Who?"

"Ace Kezzian."
