Chapter 5: "Home Sweet Home.or is it!?"
The spiked dark brown hair of a tanned Poke'mon breeder wavered slightly in the soft summer breeze, as Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader stood on the same rock where a young wannabe Poke'mon Master had once stood, before heading off to the Pewter Gym to battle the Gym Leader for his first Badge.
"Well.I guess it's good to be home.." Brock thought as he wondered what his family's reaction might be when he wondered in to the Gym unexpectedly but all he had were a few seconds to dwell on those thoughts as a low mumbling voice growled from behind him, distracting his attention.
Turning around, Brock searched the area swiftly wondering where the voice had come from, until he felt someone tug on his jeans and as he looked down he saw a rather old looking man wearing rather worn out clothes, a beard and a strange looking hat. Behind this man was a small rocky ledge, many rocks of different shapes and sizes arranged upon it, each individually priced.
"Wanna buy some Pewter City Souvenirs! They're the finest Souvenirs money can-" the man piped up, his voice not sounding as low as it had, only to be pulled to his feet by Brock who did not look impressed.
"What on Earth do you think you're doing!" Brock raged as he pulled of the man's beard and hat disguise, getting angrier by the minute
"Oh, son! How did you know it was me?!" the old man who stuttered slightly, now that his disguise had been removed, he much resembled Brock and it was clear now that this man was Brock's father Flint.
Brock stared hard at his father and chose to ignore his question
"I can't believe you're still trying to make a living out of selling rocks!" Brock gazed up at the sky for a moment and sighed before turning back to face the figure in front of him "What happened to the Gym! Why aren't you there battling trainers!?"
"Well, you see.."
The corners of Brock's mouth tightened
"J-just let me explain, son" Flint stammered desperately
"This better be good!" Brock threatened
"Well..you see" Flint swallowed hard, not really wanting to reveal what he was about to say to his son.
"It's like this, I had this absolutely amazing rock field set up and everything was going great.that was.until.until I met Misuho.." Cowering in a defensive position Flint didn't dare look up for fear of his son's reaction.
"Who's Misuho?" Brock replied rather calmly
"Uh.I think you'd better come see that for yourself.."
"Urghh! I'm going to kill my sisters when they get back, trust them to get enough supplies!" the young orange haired Gym Leader moaned, as she walked along the path towards the nearest Poke'mon Mart, annoyed that her sisters hadn't stocked enough Poke'mon food in the Gym. "First there's no Cascade Badges and it was no easy task getting them, now there's no Poke'mon food, what am I gonna have to go the get that, prove myself in a Poke'mon Battle, before I can actually buy it!.."
Misty quickened her pace as she walked down the path, muttering sarcastically, her head bent low, until WHAM! She'd hit something solid, no not something, someone she thought as her eyes carefully scanned upwards taking in the figure's purple shirt.
"Oh, I'm so sor-" the red head stopped abruptly as she reached the figure's face. His spiky brown hair and deep brown eyes gleaming in the bright sunlight, a small smirk drawn across his face, it was none other than Gary Oak.
Brock had to look twice to properly take in what was in front of him. What had once been a Gym with solid rock walls was now covered in blooming flowers of different kinds and lush green shrubbery.
"What happened! How did the Gym get like this!"
"Err.well.."
"Well what!"
"It was all Misuho's doing! She thought the Gym looked too dull and gloomy and wanted to brighten it up!"
Brock gave his father a stern look
"There's um.also one other thing.." Flint hesitated
"What!"
"The Gym, its..well it's..no longer a Rock Type Gym"
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"Misuho.she loves Water Types.and well, she thought Rock Types were too scary and now that she'd redecorated the whole Gym, she said Water Poke'mon would suit to the Gym a lot better"
"I can't believe I'm hearing this!" Brock raged as he ran inside the Gym and frowned at the pink walls and flower vases, followed by his father. His only home, now destroyed, unrecognisable..
"BROCK!" came the calls of lots of little voices "YOU'RE BACK, YAY!"
All at once Brock's younger brothers and sisters came hurling themselves at their older brother
"We missed you so much Brock!" one of his little sisters cried
"Yeah, we're so glad you're back!!" another tiny voice piped up somewhere behind him
"Well it's nice to see all of you too!" Brock gave a small smile as his brothers and sisters began chattering excitedly between them
"Oh darling! You're back" a young woman appeared in the hallway smiling happily "I missed you!" she ran up to Flint embracing him in a tight hug
"Um.." Flint blushed "I missed you too sweetheart"
Brock stared at the woman, she wore a short pink dress with pale brown sandals and her auburn hair sat neatly on her shoulders.
The woman hugged Flint tighter then turned her head to slowly look at Brock.
"Who's this handsome young man!" she smiled at Brock
"That's my oldest son, Brock" Flint smiled to the woman then Brock
"Ooh!" she smiled happily "so this is Brock, the son you've been telling me so much about. I should've realized" she giggled "he has many of your good looks"
Flint blushed as the auburn haired woman kissed his cheek
"-And you are?" Brock asked, almost certain what the answer would be
"This is Misuho, Brock" Flint smiled
Brock raised an eyebrow slightly
"I see."
"Well, look what the twerp left behind!" Gary gave another small smirk "I was beginning to wonder when he'd finally see sense!"
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"Oh, nothing I'd expect you to figure out." Misty glared at this, but Gary never flinched "What're you doing out here anyway?"
"I'm just.just getting some supplies for the Gym, I've ran out of Poke'mon food, that's all"
Gary laughed
"That's all! What a poor excuse for a Gym Leader you are, you're even starving your Poke'mon now!"
"Am not!"
"I bet you can't even battle properly either" Gary laughed some more choosing to ignore Misty's outburst "Well, you wouldn't even have a chance against me anyway"
"Hmpf, that's what you think" Misty frowned
"Oh, yeah!" Gary raised an eyebrow "Then prove it!"
"I'll show him!" Misty muttered as she carefully put her red bag down at the side of the path, hoping the sleeping Togepi inside would be safe. She slowly reached inside the bag, careful not to wake the small eggshell Poke'mon and took two of her Poke' balls out, before closing the bag again.
"Is a two-on-two battle ok for you?" she asked eyeing the purple shirted Poke'mon Trainer
"I guess that'll do.." Gary replied calmly, as if he couldn't really care
"Oh, I love you so much honey!" Misuho smiled clinging to her boyfriend, Flint, that evening at the Dinner table.
"I love you too!" Flint smiled hugging Misuho in an affectionate way.
Brock frowned in disgust as he looked up at the loving couple
"Do you mind." he said rather annoyed "I'm trying to eat here and I'm sure the children don't want to have to be subjected to this torture!"
"Now Brock.." Flint began trying to sound reasonable "Please don't be like that"
"Oh!" Brock stood up, anger boiling within him "And what exactly should I be like! Your new girlfriend's ruined the home I've known since childhood, not to mention ruining my childhood dreams of becoming a great Rock type Gym Leader, you're lucky it's a great Poke'mon Breeder I want to be now!" Brock sighed "Just think what you've done, how you've ruined everything"
"Listen Brock" Misuho spoke up "If your so desperate to restore your family's Gym back to what it was before, then, if it helps we can have a battle for it and the winner gets to have to the Gym the way they want it"
"Misuho, you really don't have to do this.." Flint glanced at her "He's bound to get over it soon, everything changes."
"No," Misuho took her lover's hands "I never took the time to think how much this Gym actually meant to you and your family, I just took over, which was wrong. Now I'm willing to give you that chance to restore the Gym."
"I guess, that sounds reasonable" Brock nodded "In that case I accept your challenge!"
"Thanks Corsola, you put up a good fight!" Misty smiled as she returned her Poke'mon, she'd lost this match to Gary and was disappointed but she tried not to show it.
Meanwhile Gary was congratulating his Umbreon on doing a great job and as he returned his Poke'mon he looked up at Misty, who immediately turned away, knowing he was going to criticize her for losing.
"Well," Gary started walking up behind the orange haired Gym Leader as she stood on the edge of a bank near the path.
"Well what!" Misty cried whipping around and grabbing the spiky haired trainer by his shirt collar.
To Misty's surprise Gary just smirked
"You may have lost, but-"
"But what!"
"-But I just wanted to tell you that you're a great Poke'mon trainer."
Misty's face softened, as she looked back at Gary's gaze
".A great Poke'mon trainer..did he really mean that?!"
"Whoa!"
Misty snapped out of her thoughts as Gary struggled to keep his balance on the edge of the bank, he'd freed himself when she'd loosened her grip on his collar. Trying to stop him falling Misty stretched out and caught his hand, but the force was too much and she ended up going down with him. Gary dug his foot firmly into the soft grass to stop the two skidding any further down the bank, only to have Misty come flying into him, without thinking the two of them clung to each other to steady themselves from falling any further, just as the sky grew darker and ice cold rain lashed down on them.
"Great." muttered Misty shivering from the cold "just what I need"
Gary took a deep intake of breath, just as Misty turned around, they're faces just inches apart. It was hard to tell in this dim light but Misty was sure she saw Gary blush and it was only then she realized that the two were still clung together.
"All right big brother! You Won!" one of Brock's little brothers cheered happily, as Misuho returned her Marill and accepted her loss.
Outside the Gym Brock glanced up at the sky and this time he smiled, he was all set to leave in his new clothes, he'd also left all his Poke'mon behind, all except for Crobat and Forretress.
"I hope you'll take care of the Gym this time." Brock gave his father a small smile
"I guess I'll have to.." Flint replied as Brock raised an eyebrow slightly
"I mean it ok"
Flint nodded
"Don't worry this time, I will take care of it"
"Well," Brock said as he gazed at all the faces of his family "I guess I really should be off, the longer I stay here the further Ash travels" "We'll all miss you Brock!" Misuho smiled "I'm glad we all sorted things out in the end.."
Brock smiled back
"I'll miss you all too!"
With that Brock waved Good-bye to his family and began his journey to Hoenn, at least for now he'd be able to see one of his best friends..
Misty could feel her cheeks getting hot, as she remained clung to Gary, her gaze staying firmly fixed on his face, his gaze fixed upon hers. Gary glanced down for a few seconds as if trying to pluck up the courage to do something, it was at this point that Misty wondered why Gary hadn't let go of her by now, maybe he was still afraid of falling back, but somehow she doubted that was the reason. Finally looking up Gary glanced in to the Aqua-marine eyes of the person in front of him, he wasn't sure how Misty would react, whether she'd take it as a joke or run away in shock, but even though, he was curious and wanted to find out. Leaning just a little closer, Gary barely glanced at the red head in front of him before his lips brushed against hers and the World became their own, as he deepened the kiss. After what seemed liked minutes, but in reality was probably only seconds, Gary slowly broke the kiss and carefully looked back up at Misty, who said nothing.
"What's the matter?" Gary smirked as he let go of her "Wasn't I good enough for you."
"Oh, no.." Misty gave a small smile as she took his hand "It's just I hoped it would've been a bit more like this.."
She pulled him towards her, so that her body was pressed against his warm chest, then drawing his face closer to her, she kissed him for a moment before slowly breaking away.
Gary blinked some
"I'm sure I could do better than that" he smirked teasing her as he once again wrapped his arms around her
"Well you'll just have to show me later then, won't you!" she smiled poking him in the chest "Besides I actually came out here to get Poke'mon food and now I'm standing her in the freezing rain getting soaked"
"Well let's go get that Poke'mon food!" Gary laughed putting an arm around her shoulders
Misty drew her gaze skywards
"One of those days, Gary Oak!"
Gary just laughed and the two finally set off towards the Poke'mon Mart
Chapter 5: "Home Sweet Home.or is it!?"
The spiked dark brown hair of a tanned Poke'mon breeder wavered slightly in the soft summer breeze, as Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader stood on the same rock where a young wannabe Poke'mon Master had once stood, before heading off to the Pewter Gym to battle the Gym Leader for his first Badge.
