When your dreams come true
Chapter six: Lost and alone
Ash was at the reception room looking for Misty. He had something really important to tell her…
Flashback
Ash and Jenny had been talking about their past adventures, while she was thinking if she should tell him about Misty's feelings…
She brought him to the garden to talk to him.
"Yes, I'm going to help these two…" She thought smiling.
"Ash can I talk with you?" Jenny asked.
"Sure Jenny…" Ash said while looking for Misty
"Ash I would like you to pay attention…" Jenny said grinning.
"Oh, ok… Sorry…" he said blushing.
"Ash I think we should break up." Jenny said seriously.
"Yeah… What?!" he asked surprised.
"Ash let's face it: you never loved me and I don't love you anymore…" she said "I like you to be my friend…And I also want you to be happy…"
"Jenny I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have give you hope… I still love someone… Someone that I love for 8 years…" he said sadly.
"I pretty sure that Misty loves you too Ash…" Jenny said giggling.
"What?" he asked ( he was starting to seem a bit repetitive…).
"Ash, Misty loves you but she doesn't have enough courage to tell you… So I decided to act like a cupid…" she said smiling.
"M-Misty l-loves me…?" Ash asked astonished.
"Yes Ash…" Jenny replied rolling her eyes "So, what are you doing about it? You know, she's not going to wait for you forever…" she said warningly.
"Right…" he said.
"Ash! Come on! You gotta talk to her!" She yelled
"But where is she?" he asked
"I think she's inside…But before you go, can I ask you one final favour?" she asked
"Sure Jenny, anything!" he said smiling
"Can I have one last kiss? Just to remember you…" she said
"Oh, ok…" and then they shared a quick kiss.
"Ok, now let's go find Misty!" Jenny said as they got up and left the garden.
Little they knew that just a few feet away Misty was watching them, with her heart broken.
End of Flashback
"Jenny, did you see Misty?" Ash asked when he saw her.
"No, not since I arrived here with her, at the beginning of the party." Jenny replied.
"I can't find her anywhere…Do you think that she left the party?" Ash asked concerned.
"Maybe, but I don't know…Let's just calm down… I'll ask my friends if they saw her…You know, she's the only red head at the party, it's difficult to miss her…" Jenny said grinning.
"Ok, I'll see I can find Brock, maybe he knows where she is…" Ash said and started looking for Brock.
As you all know, finding Brock it's just as easy as finding a bug pokemon in a forest… You just have to follow the girls…
"Brock do you know where's Misty?" Ash asked when he found him drooling over a girl.
"No, but she was acting strange last time I saw her…She came to me saying that she need to ask me something really important… Then all of a sudden she left me all by myself, saying that she would be back in a minute…That was last time I saw her… About one hour ago…" Brock said looking at his watch.
"That was strange…But did she tell where she was going?" Ash asked.
Before Brock had time to answer, Jenny arrived with a friend.
"Hey guys, this is Cole. He said that he saw Misty leaving the party thirty minutes ago." Jenny informed and then Cole said:
"Look, I danced with her a few times and she seemed ok…But when she left the party she was looking strange…It seemed that she was trying not to be seen…And, I'm not sure, but she looked like she had been crying…" Cole said.
Ash didn't has the time to be jealous.
"Crying? Maybe she wasn't feeling all right…We should check out…" he said as he left the room.
Brock and Jenny followed him to Misty's room.
"Misty are you ok? Do you need any help?" Ash asked.
No one answered.
"Misty? Can I come in?" Ash asked starting to be worried.
Again, no one answered.
Ash pushed the door and it opened.
When they entered the room, they saw that it was empty.
"What?" Ash asked confused.
Jenny opened the closet.
"It's empty …" she said "I think she left the house."
"Left the house?" Ash repeated in shock "But why would Misty left the house?" he asked confused.
"I think that doesn't matter now Ash. We should start searching for her." Brock said seriously.
"Brock's right Ash." Jenny said concerned.
"Well, I don't think Misty's crazy enough to leave the town at night, all by herself, so she must be here in Ecruteak." Brock said wisely.
"Ok, so where are we going to search first?" Ash asked.
"I think we should check out for buildings that are still open now…" Jenny said "And the only ones that I can remember are the Pokemon center, the shopping mall and perhaps the gym.." she added.
"Then, what are we waiting for?" Ash asked nervously and left the room, followed closely by Brock and Jenny.
"So this is the Tin Tower…" Misty said no longer sobbing "It's a bit creepy…" she said.
Misty was now walking towards an old door.
"Hum…I wish I wasn't alone… But I gotta stop thinking about Ash…And I guess this is a good way…" she said smiling bitterly.
She passed through the door and she saw a long, dark corridor.
"Just like the one in my dreams…" Misty said "After this I can't go back…" she added.
She was walking in a dark corridor, but now she wasn't giving up. She knew that she was going to find a door with a strange blue glow behind it…
And she found it soon.
"Ok, so what happens in my dream after I open the door…" Misty asked herself " Right, I would be submerged…" she said smiling weakly.
She observed the door. It wasn't closed and she couldn't see any water behind it…
"The room can't be filled with water…It's just impossible!" Misty said "I'm going in!"
Misty entered the room. There wasn't anything in the room but a strange statue covered with dust (like the rest of the room…).The strange light was gone.
She pointed the flashlight to the statue, but she still didn't know what it represented.
When she touched it to clean the dust, the door closed and she heard the sound of the water.
"What?" she asked frightened when she saw the water filling the room.
Jenny, Brock and Ash were outside Jenny's house.
"I'll go to the shopping mall…" Jenny said.
"Ok, I'll go to the pokemon center…" Brock said.
"Then I'll go to the Gym." Ash completed.
"We'll meet here in half an hour" Jenny said.
"Ok, see you later…" Ash said and left to the gym.
"HELP!!! HELP!!!" Misty yelled.
She was alone in that stupid tower…No one would listen to her…She was going to die there…
"I can't die in here! HELP!!! SOMEONE!" Misty yelled again.
She was sinking in the water. In just a few seconds she was under the water, trying to swim to the surface.
When she reached it she took a large breath.
"Oh…Fortunately, the water stopped…" she said wearily.
"What?!" was the only word that she could say after that quick moment of relief…Before being pulled into the dark water…
She tried to swim up again but she couldn't…
She was just too tired…
She could see again the strange blue light…
But she soon started to close her eyes…She couldn't take it anymore… She just wanted to rest…
Half an hour later, Brock, Jenny and Ash meet at Jenny's front door.
"Nothing…" Brock said sadly.
"The same for me…" Jenny answered.
"I couldn't find her either…" Ash said in a tearful voice.
"Did she say anything to you Brock, the last you saw her? Something that can help us find her?" Ash asked hopefully.
"No, nothing…" Brock said, but keep reminding all the conversations they had lately…
"Ash, I remember something!" Brock said all of a sudden.
"What?" Ash asked nervously.
"She was really interested in visiting the Tin Tower…Maybe she's there…" he said in a low voice.
"It's low chance…" Jenny said "But I have another idea: maybe Misty went to the train station! We have one here in Ecruteak, she could catch a train back to Goldenrod… She couldn't go to Kanto from here…" she said looking at Ash and Brock.
"That's right !Let's go to the station!" Brock said excitedly.
"You two go to the station…I'm going to check that Ten Tower…" Ash said.
"It's Tin Tower Ash, and she not going to be there… It's too late to visit it, and besides it's dangerous out there, the tower is to old…" Jenny said.
"I'll go anyway…I have this feeling…I'll meet you here in one hour." Ash said.
"At least take your poke gear, we can phone you if we find her…" Brock said.
"Ok. See you later…" Ash said as he went into the house to pick his flashlight and his pokegear.
Misty was in the ground, all weat and shivering.
It was all too blurry but she could see the strange light…
She passed out and woke up a few minutes later. The light was still there, very close…
Misty raised her hand to touch the owner of that mysterious light…
It was so smooth… She still couldn't tell what kid of animal it was… But she liked to be near it… She felt protected and safe…
She was so tired that she just closed her eyes and fell asleep right away.
Ash was looking at the strange tower…
He had the feeling that Misty was there… And if she was, she could be in danger…
He entered the tower and hurried to the door.
He run through the dark corridor and opened the door quickly.
He saw a strange blue animal that was glowing…
It seemed a dog, but dogs don't glow right?
Then he saw her… It was Misty, lying in the ground…
Ash thought that the animal was trying to hurt her so he just walked in and run towards them.
"Let go of…" before he could finish the sentence the animal was gone.
"How can that be possible? It was just here a few seconds ago…" he thought to him self.
But that didn't matter now.
All that mattered was Misty…
He picked her carefully and tried to wake her up… But she seemed to be already awake…Although a bit sleepy…
"Misty?" he asked but she passed out.
"I guess I should take her to the pokemon center… Nurse Joy will take care of her…" Ash said as he picked her up and started walking towards the door.
He was looking at her worried "I just hope she's all right… I don't know if I could live without her…" he said tears starting to fill his eyes.
When he was near the door, the strange dusty statue started to glow and the door closed abruptly.
"What?" Ash asked surprised.
The statue had returned back to normal but the door was still closed.
Ash put Misty in the ground slowly and covered her with his jacket. It was just then that he noticed that the floor was all weat .
"What the hell happened in here?" he asked to himself.
He walked towards the door and tried to open it.
"It's locked or something…" he thought "An we're stuck here…" he said desperately .
That's it!
