When your dreams come true
Chapter nine: Misty's death (?)
"So what are we going to do now?" Brock asked "Wait?"
"We'll wait until Team Rocket decides to come back and then we'll attack them with our pokemon!" Ash said excitedly.
"I don't know if that's a good idea Ash…I saw their guns…" Misty said frightened.
"You don't have to be afraid Misty, I'm here to protect you!" Ash said proudly.
Misty and Brock looked at Ash in disbelief.
"Thanks for that guys, that's what I really need now…" Ash said angrily.
"I think that Giovanni really loose it this time… Do you really think that a legendary pokemon will come to rescue us?" Brock asked.
"To save Misty you mean… We'll be lucky if he decides to take us with them…" Ash said grinning.
"It wouldn't be the first time that we saw a legendary pokemon…" Misty said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, but why would he come to save you Misty?" Ash asked smiling.
Misty looked at him hurt.
"And I was thinking that I shouldn't be angry with him, you know, he never gave me hope, he never told me that he loved me or something…And it wasn't his fault if he didn't love me…But no, Ash Ketchum is really the most insensitive guy I ever met…" Misty thought to herself and decide to ignore Ash.
Ash noticed that Misty didn't like what he said so he added: "Misty, I was only joking, you know what you mean to me…us…" Ash said quickly.
"I don't mean anything to you Ash Ketchum, and you don't mean anything to me!" Misty thought, but said nothing.
"Hey Misty, what happened in the other room, while you were all by yourself?" Brock asked curiously.
"Do you really want to know?" Misty asked "Well, when I got into the room I saw that it was empty, you know, if we don't count the statue… Well, in my dreams, the room would be filled with water, and I would be pulled into the water and then some strange animal with a strange blue light surrounding it, would save me… Oh wait, you don't know about the dreams…" Misty suddenly said.
"Yeah, we know, it was all part of Team Rocket's plan, Cloe, the psychic rocket, made you have the dreams…" Brock informed.
"Oh, so that's why I've been having that dreams…" Misty thought "Anyway, after I touched the statue I activated some sort of switch and the room started filling with water…" Misty said.
"So that's why the ground was wet…" Ash said.
"When I was almost drowning, the strange pokemon saved me." Misty said.
"That pokemon wasn't the real Suicune… It was a Ditto…" Brock said "I think that they wanted to make you believe that it really existed…" Brock said.
"Why? They could just hypnotised her earlier…" Ash said.
"I read somewhere that you really have to believe in what they're making you see, when you're hypnotised…" Brock said.
"Or else, you would refuse to obey them…" Misty completed.
"That's right." Brock agreed.
"Hey Brock, I think that each one of us should have three pokemon…" Ash said.
"Ok. Misty can I keep Poliwhirl?" Brock asked.
"Look guys, I don't think that's the right thing to do… They're dangerous, they're not like Jesse and James…" Misty said seriously.
"Misty I'm not gonna just stand here, waiting to die!" Ash said.
"I don't want to do that too Ash but we gotta be careful! We have to make a plan or something!" Misty said angrily.
"I think Misty's got a point Ash…" Brock said.
"Ok then, what's the plan?" Ash asked impatiently.
"Your age miss?" the officer asked.
"Eighteen…" Jenny replied.
"Eighteen…So you know that you can go to jail if you're not telling the truth…" the officer said.
"I could go to jail just because I wasn't telling the truth?" Jenny asked surprised.
"So you're confessing?" the officer asked angrily.
"No, I'm just asking…" Jenny said wearily.
"Don't you talk with me in that tone young lady!" the officer warned.
"I'm sorry…" Jenny apologized "You're almost finishing, right?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes, it's just one more page…" the officer replied.
"I wish I was stuck with Ash, Brock and Misty… At least I would have more fun…" Jenny moaned.
Back in the tower, outside the room where Misty and the others were stuck.
"So Cloe, anything yet?" Giovanni asked.
"I can't sense Suicune, but I'm trying to hear the brats' conversation…" Cloe replied.
"So?" Ken asked.
"Ah, ah, ah! They're so pathetic!" Cloe said.
"Why? What are they saying?" Ken asked.
"They're planning to attack us with their weak pokemon…" Cloe said laughing.
"Well, after we caught Suicune we can take their pokemon too…And then kill them." Giovanni said grinning sinisterly.
Inside the room…
"Hey Misty, do you think that your little friend is gonna take long?" Brock asked, the water already reaching his chin.
"My little friend?" Misty asked looking at Brock.
"Oh, that's right, you were hypnotised, you didn't hear the story…" Brock said.
"So, what's the story?" Misty asked.
"Basically, one of your ancestors, some Alyna, was saved by Suicune, because she was caring, etc…" Brock said.
"Yeah, that's true…Alyna was my grandmother…" Misty said.
"So the story is true?" Ash asked surprised.
"Yes Ash, the story is true…But we don't like to talk about it, we don't like to draw attentions…" Misty said.
"Well, I wouldn't say that about your sisters…" Ash said smiling.
"Oh Ash, just cut it out!" Misty said angrily.
"What now? What's your problem Misty?" Ash asked, also getting angry.
"I'm not having a argument now…" Misty said.
"That's a mature decision Misty…" Brock said relieved.
"Yeah, yeah… That's just a COWARD decision…" Ash replied.
"Who are you calling coward Ash Ketchum?" Misty asked angrily "At least I'm not dense or childish!" she yelled.
"Not now guys, we're almost drowning and you're arguing?" Brock asked exasperated.
"Shut up Brock!" the two yelled.
"Some things never change…" Brock sighed.
"So that friend of yours… What's her name?" the officer asked.
"She's not my friend… I mean, I think she is, but she's really a friend of my ex- boyfriend…" Jenny replied.
"Yes, that's indeed interesting… But what's her name?" the officer asked.
"Oh, it's Misty Waterflower…" Jenny said.
"And did she run away?" the officer asked.
"I don't know…" Jenny said "But if we went there to help them we would probably know that already…" she said between clenched teeth.
"What?" the officer looked at Jenny suspiciously.
"Nothing…" she replied.
"Brock, are you still there?" Ash asked.
"No Ash, I'm with Nurse Joy in a faraway island…" Brock said "Of course I'm here! Here could I be?!" Brock asked angrily.
"I was just checking if you weren't submerged…" Ash said.
"Oh, ok, sorry…" Brock said.
"Misty, are you ok?" Ash asked concerned.
No answer.
"Misty?" Ash asked frightened.
The water almost covered their heads.
Ash tried to call Misty again: "Misty?"
"Brock, can you see her?" Ash asked.
"No, I can't Ash…Do you think that she's…" but Brock didn't end the sentence.
"I'm going after her…" Ash said.
"Wait Ash, look!" Brock yelled and pointed to the ceiling.
Some sort of passage opened and they saw a strange light… A strange blue light…
"Do you think it's…" Brock said.
"Suicune!" Ash said when the pokemon jumped into the water to save Misty.
Outside the room…
"Is there!" Cloe said.
"Then, go and complete the mission!" Giovanni said "I'll return to the Headquarters…" he added and then he opened a pokeball "Alakazam go!".
"I hope you don't fail…" he warned.
"No sir!" Cloe and Ken said.
"Alakazam teleport!" and he disappeared.
"Well, let's go!" Ken said he used a remote control to make the water disappear.
Misty was drowning…She couldn't open her eyes and she couldn't swim to the surface…She was just to tired…
Then she felt it…She felt that someone was trying to get her out of the water…She open her eyes and saw it: Suicune.
"Look, he's reaching the surface…" Brock said.
As soon as Suicune and Misty got to the surface, the water started to get lower and lower, till the room was back to normal.
"What the…" Ash said looking at Brock.
"We better check Misty" Brock said.
"Yeah, of course!" Ash said running towards Misty.
Before he could reach her, the door opened and Cloe and Ken entered.
"Hi! Did you miss us?" Cloe asked sarcastically.
Ash looked at Brock and he understood. They took the pokeballs and were ready to call the pokemons when…
"No, no, no…" Cloe said and grabbed the pokeballs with her psychic powers.
"What?" Ash asked surprised.
"And I'll need hers too…" she said and grabbed Misty's pokeballs.
"Sorry guys, but we already knew that you were going to attack us…" Ken said smiling.
Misty was opening her eyes. She saw Cloe and Ken taking their pokemons and she didn't know what to do.
"Now it's time to catch Suicune!" Cloe said looking at the legendary pokemon.
Ken took one pokeball and turned to face him.
"With this masterball you can't escape from us!" Ken said smiling.
Ash ran and stopped right in front of Suicune.
"If you want to catch him you have to face me!" Ash said bravely.
Misty looked at him frightened "Don't be stupid Ash Ketchum…" she thought looking at the rockets' guns.
"Boy, you know that we don't have any problem with killing…" Ken said reaching is gun.
Misty got up and whispered to Ash "Ash don't be stupid…Jenny should be here any minute with the police…You don't have to take that risk…" She said worried.
Ash looked at her and smiled "They don't have the guts to do it Misty…" but then Misty saw Cloe reaching her gun and aiming Ash.
"Don't count on that sweetie…" she warned.
"No!" Misty pushed Ash.
BANG!
Misty was in the ground, her hands on her stomach.
"Misty!" Ash yelled.
What happened next was really fast. We could see Ken throwing the masterball but Suicune dodged it. He then attacked the rockets with an "ice beam" and the rockets were frozen.
Brock ran towards Ash and Misty and leaned near them.
"Misty let me see it…! Brock said as he removed her hands.
Misty was really pale. She had her eyes closed and she breathing weakly.
"We have to get her out of here, now!" Brock said tearfully.
Ash was in shock. Misty was shot because of his reckless behaviour. She could die because of him…She could die without knowing that he loved her, that he always had…
One tear slowly rolled down Ash's cheek.
Was this the end?
That's it!
I think that I'm going to write one last chapter…
Thanks for all the reviews!
I just hope you like my story…
Keep reviewing!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own pokemon, of course! I just own Cloe, Jenny, Ken and Cole.
