Oh, Misty left because she was tired of everything. She kind of just
wanted to settle down or something. It's a really stupid reason to leave,
but hey, it's less clichéd than Ash and Misty having a HUGE fight and
them separating (which is probably the only way it would happen).
And, believe me, Misty'll have to settle down. *evil laugh* I kind of
pity her though.Oh, and can someone please tell me what Chikorita's
evolved forms are? *thinks* How many pokémon has Ash owned, besides all
those Tauros? Because he seems to just let them go and all all the time.
And what is Treeko's fully evolved form? *shrug* Sorry about the lateness
of this chap, but my computer had this annoying worm thing.
I do not own Pokemon. Or any recognizable characters. And this chap
features Brendan from R/S, by the way. And this is the last complete past
chapter.
Sakura gazed worriedly at the vid screen in the Pokémon Center and set the phone down delicately. She had a feeling that Brock and Ash were still in town. If she hurried, she could definitely catch them. Sakura turned and ran from the center. In her haste, she happened to crash into another person.
He got up, exchanging a hand to her, and she grabbed it. She was stunned to see it was Brock.
"Brock?" Sakura asked.
Brock smiled.
"Hey, Sakura, what are you doing here?" Brock asked curiously.
Sakura looked around nervously.
"Where's Ash?" Sakura barked.
"I'll take you to him," Brock said quietly.
They hopped on a bike and pedaled out of the city. Brock led them to Ash, who was pacing in front of a campfire and barking orders left and right at the newly reformed Team Rocket. They all looked at the boy in awe. Misty's departure had made Ash into one VERY crazy man almost overnight.
Sakura raised her eyebrows and Ash turned to face them. His eyes lit up and he ran and hugged Sakura tightly.
"Hello, it's great that you're here, Sakura, you're a lifesaver," Ash said enthusiastically.
Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"Ash, Misty's fine," Sakura responded.
Ash's eyes flashed.
"What'd she tell you? Did she tell you where she is?" Ash asked frantically.
Sakura shook her head no, nervously hoping it didn't show she lied. Ash frowned and sunk into a nearby log.
"She doesn't want me to find her, does she? Well, I'll look another month after this. Right now, I'm heading to Blackthorn, which should be a good week's journey from here," Ash stated fiercely.
Sakura's eyes turned to face a girl about Ash's age with brown hair and green eyes wearing a red bandana and a white and black skirt with a red short-sleeved shirt. Sakura nodded to Ash.
"Who's she?" Sakura asked, confused and worried.
Ash looked to where she was pointing.
"Oh, that's May. Met her two days ago," Ash responded quietly.
Sakura raised an eyebrow. Ash sighed and turned to face Sakura.
"Look, I wake up, Misty's gone, she leaves a note under my hand. I read the note, get up and the first thing I do is track her scent with Pikachu. The trail goes cold, I run up to Violet. I go to the Gym and BAMMO! I meet her. Believe me, I'm not going there," Ash explained.
Sakura nodded calmly. May slowly got up, picking up an empty bucket and left the circle. Just seconds later, a grinning Faulkner entered.
"Oh, really, Ash? Then why'd she kiss you?" Faulkner joked.
Sakura's eyes widened. Ash shot Faulkner a glare and Team Rocket exchanged curious looks. All eyes turned on Ash, who blushed from the pressure.
"Hey, SHE kissed ME. You think I asked for it, Faulkner?" Ash said irritably.
Faulkner smirked.
"You know, even Misty hasn't kissed you," Faulkner said jokingly.
Ash glared and Brock shook his head.
"Not true. Tracey and I had a good long chat. Seems like Ash is quite the ladies man. Misty did mouth-to-mouth on him when he almost drowned. And then there was that lovely Melody thing.And we can't forget Kacey, now can we?" Brock said thoughtfully.
Ash flushed even redder. Faulkner raised his eyebrows and shot Ash an amused look. Sakura's eyes widened still. Team Rocket nodded.
"Yeah, we can testify. We were there," Meowth said bossily.
Jessie and James looked at each other.
"Kind of," They replied together.
Ash clapped a hand to his forehead and sighed.
"I knew those islands would make me pay someday," Ash muttered.
Brock and Team Rocket began telling animated stories about what had happened over the years, which Faulkner found amusing and Sakura found worrying.
"Anyways, so Misty dives in the water and Melody's all-" Brock began.
Team Rocket nodded.
"You SURE he's not your boyfriend?" They said in unison.
Everyone, except Sakura and Ash laughed. Pikachu ran to Ash and sat on his lap
"Because, of course, it's obvious she wants him for herself," Jessie replied brassily.
Ash's head shot up at this and he scowled at the group, who, seeing the mood he was in, nervously scattered. However, they regrouped around five seconds later.
"Ooh! Let's tell the story of how that one guy was drooling all over her on that one island!" James squealed.
Brock looked interestedly at the trio. Meowth shot a look at him.
"The drawing big twerp didn't tell you about this?" Meowth asked confusedly. Brock shook his head. Team Rocket exchanged shrugs.
"Well, here's how it happened," Meowth began.
"Twer-I mean, Ash, Twerpette-Misty, and that one other guy landed on that island with all of those weird scary pillar-y things.What was it called? Tree-Truck-Tool something?" Jessie started, questioning her memory.
"Trovita Island, Jessie. Anyways, Misty, is that really her name? Anyways, she saved this girl, uh, Mari-something-or-other, I think her name was, who was the sister of that Gym Leader guy," James corrected.
"Anyways, the guy, Rudy, he REALLY had it bad for her, y'know? He was blowing off Ashy, over there, who believe me, wanted some attention, because he was gonna battle him, ya know," Meowth continued.
"This Rudy guy gave her flowers and cooked her dinner and danced with her. Which, all in all, makes him a very good guy, I mean, why couldn't I get a guy like that?" Jessie went on, pouting.
James nodded and Brock's and Sakura's mouths gaped open. Faulkner was stunned. May arrived seconds later with a large pail filled with water.
"Anyhow, he invited her to stay with him. PERMANENTLY," James continued, with a shiver.
Sakura's eyes bulged.
"And the next day was this huge battle of Ash against Rudy and that was when she was gonna decide if she was gonna stay on the island. So she's sitting up there in this huge balloon all quiet-like," Meowth extended.
Now, everyone was hooked on the story.
"Now, keep in mind the fact that she hasn't said a whole word the entire battle and she's got the guy's little sister AND Tracy, who're rooting for Rudy and Ash respectively, on either side of her," Jessie added.
Sakura's eyes widened. Misty had never told her any of this.
"Then, suddenly, Twer-Ash is losing pretty bad. He won his first battle, lost his second, and is losing his third. Or something like that. And his Squirtle's being whupped pretty badly. And she's battling it out pretty bad within herself. And then, POW! She can't fight it anymore," James says, the story peaking.
Everyone waited in silence.
"And so, she breaks the silence on the field, because even that Tracey guy has given up hope of Ash winning. And she starts screaming at Ash that he can beat Rudy. Rudy's kinda shocked, because he was thinkin' she was gonna stay with him," Meowth says, breaking the silence.
"So, Twer-Ash ends up beating Rudy and Twerpe-Misty and the guy have a nice little chat about her decision. And they end up leaving the island, leaving Ash still clueless," Jessie finishes.
Ash, fortunately, heard none of this.
Soon, night fell, and Sakura whispered to Brock that she was leaving. She had to make a week's journey in a single night. She was thankful that her pack was very light, as previously she had deposited most of her belongings in the pc.
She ran up the hill, panting furiously. By morning, her legs were very sore, and she was so tired that she could drop from exhaustion. But, she was halfway there. She hungrily grabbed at the hero Brock had packed for her. She let out her Espeon and they shared the sandwich.
Sakura looked around for a shelter, but could not find one. She continued walking, even though it hurt her feet. Her best friend needed her to be there, she HAD to get there. Finally, as she had scaled a huge hill, her legs gave out on her. She was so tired she fell asleep in the middle of the road.
She awoke hours later, with a boy leering in her face. She pushed him away and tiredly got up. She shook the dirt from her hair and continued walking, Espeon at her side. The white-haired boy followed her.
"Who are you? Why were you sleeping in the road? WAIT UP!" The boy yelled, running after her.
She stopped and turned to face him, sticking out a hand.
"I'm Sakura. I was walking to Blackthorn when my legs gave out. I felt tired, so I just fell asleep there. Now, if you excuse me, I have to get to Blackthorn right away," Sakura said, breaking into a run.
The boy followed her, panting.
"Jeez, you run fast! I'm Brendan Birch, by the way," Brendan introduced, way out of breath.
Sakura nodded, beaming. She saw the city ahead and raced down the hill, running faster than she ever had in her life towards the Pokémon Center. Brendan's eyes widened and he raced to beat her speed. Sakura ran, pushing the door open. The force of the door hit Brendan and pain radiated throughout his body. He stood there a second before pushing the door open and stepping inside.
He saw Sakura hugging Misty tightly. A few moments later, the two girls stepped apart and Misty turned to stare at him.
"Who're you?" Misty asked calmly.
Before he could answer, Sakura answered for him.
"Oh, Misty, this is Brendan Birch. I met him like ten minutes ago. Anyways, did I tell you about when I saw Ash and Brock?" Sakura rambled.
Misty shook her head no. Sakura smiled.
"Well, Ash is seriously crazy, Misty! He's at an edge of tenseness I have never seen in my life. And Brock was, well, Brock. He was telling stories to, uh, Team Rocket, I think you called them? Anyways, this purple-haired guy named Faulkner was helping them too. And do you know any Tracey's, Melody's, or Kacey's? Or, um, some guy named Rudy? Anyways, there was this girl named May with him too," Sakura blathered.
Misty's face paled at the mention of Rudy. Brendan walked closer.
"Hey, my neighbor back home was named May. Did she have brown hair and green eyes?" Brendan replied calmly.
Sakura turned to him.
"Yeah," Sakura replied quietly.
Misty rubbed her arm nervously.
"H-how do y-you k-know about R-R-Rudy?" Misty stuttered, looking vulnerable.
"Long story," Sakura replied.
Misty sighed.
"Anyways, this May person apparently kissed him. And apparently you have as well, but that's another story," Sakura continued.
Misty paled further. Brendan looked worriedly at her and slightly grabbed her arm.
"I think you need to sit down," Brendan said nervously.
Misty nodded palely and sat down.
