Aren't you glad I finally updated? And this isn't Ash/May per say (I
rhymed), but it's sorta hinted at. It's more Ash/Misty though. And I don't
own Pokemon.
Misty, meanwhile, was in the Orange Islands. She had been talking with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny for hours. She was so tired. A tired hand clutched Ashley's. She was staying in the gym.
The Trovita Gym, of all places. She hated this stupid island. It was dredging up so many bad memories. Rudy popped out of his gym and nearly fainted.
"Misty? What are you doing here?" Rudy asked, shocked.
Misty rolled her eyes and dropped her bags on the ground. She slid her hand from her daughter's. Misty crossed her arms over her chest.
"I didn't come here for you, you know. I have a job. I'm working at setting up a series of Pokémarts in the Orange Islands. Starting, of course, with Trovita," Misty sighed.
Rudy shrugged. He saw Ashley.
"So, you finally stopped traveling with Ash?" Rudy asked, non-committally.
Misty glared at him.
"So? I left. What's it to you?" Misty snapped.
Rudy smirked. Mari walked into the room, which no one noticed.
"I suppose she's his, then?" Rudy remarked, gesturing towards Ashley.
Misty's eyes widened and she slapped Rudy. Rudy rubbed his cheek.
"Ouch. It was just a question," Rudy defended.
Misty glared at him. Mari grabbed Ashley and the bags, moving them to the guest room. Rudy sighed and turned on the tv.
"We have just received news that Pokémon Master Ash Ketchum is about to defeat the Unbeatable Four, a highly Elite group of five trainers hidden up in the Sacred Forest. This will result in him becoming the Ultimate Master. However, he will have to beat out New Champion Gary Oak, and their five mysterious trainers. This is the first time in the history of the Unbeatable Four that two trainers have attempted to defeat them in one day. We'll be updating you by the second with any news we get," The newscaster reported.
Misty turned white. She sighed into her head.
"That dumb, dumb boy," Misty said sadly.
Rudy gave her a look.
"I thought that was obvious the first time you came here," Rudy grunted.
Misty glared at him.
"There's a large difference between being dense and being dumb. Unfortunately, Ash is both," Misty sneered.
Rudy shrugged. Misty's eyes flitted nervously around the room. Suddenly it hit her and she grabbed the phone. She dialed Brendan's number. It rang twice before Brendan answered.
"Bonjour! You have reached le maison of Brendan Birch. I am Monsieur Birch's maid, Yvette LePoufiat. Can I take a message por monsieur?" Brendan said in a fake falsetto French accent.
Misty grinned and rolled her eyes. He still had that same sense of humor.
"Brendan, stop messing with me. I need a favor," Misty asked, curling the phone cord.
Brendan smirked, even though he knew it was Misty.
"Is that you May? Because you can come over tonight if you want a favor," Brendan joked.
Misty rolled her eyes.
"Sheesh. Its so obvious you want to make out with her in a closet somewhere. And I've never even met the girl," Misty replied, amused.
Brendan laughed.
"Well, if you met her, you'd see why I want to make out with her in a closet. And she saved your butt near Goldenrod. She distracted Ash by screaming that she loved him, which I'm convinced is half-true. But Ash is your territory, so, you were saying, Misty?" Brendan rambled.
Misty frowned slightly.
"Yeah. Can you give me May's number? I want to talk to her for a little bit," Misty asked politely.
Brendan grinned.
"Sure. As a matter of fact, I'll do you one better. Three-way!" Brendan chirped.
Misty rolled her eyes and heard the dial tone.
"Ugh! Who would have the nerve to call me this early in the morning? Is that you again, Ash?" May grunted tiredly.
May had a huge migraine. Brendan beamed.
"Oi, April! You're in a witchy mood today, aren't you?" Brendan teased loudly.
May winced and stuck a finger in her ear.
"Oh, Whitey, should've figured it was you. You've always been one for the obnoxious, Stinking Hair," May snapped.
Misty bit her lip. She did not want to listen to this right now.
"Look, it's uh, May, right? You don't know me, but I'm an old friend of Ash and I was wondering if I could have his phone number," Misty pleaded.
May was surprised over the phone line.
"How'd you get my number?" May asked curiously.
Misty smiled.
"Brendan and I traveled together for a while. Thanks for helping me by the way. He told me what you did. I owe you," Misty replied vaguely.
May's brow furrowed. She tried to remember a time when she had helped out a stranger.
"Remember? You screamed at Ash that you loved him?" Brendan clarified.
May's eyes widened and she remembered.
"Oh yeah! But that was for a pregnant girl and a pink-haired chick," May stated after a while.
Misty laughed mirthlessly.
"Yeah, I was the pregnant girl," Misty replied calmly.
May's mouth gaped open.
"Whoa. So, why were you running away from Ashy-pants?" May asked, confused.
Misty giggled at the nickname. She then grew serious.
"Me and Ash have a past. And it's not like I wanted him to see me pregnant. He'd ask all those annoying questions and I couldn't really answer them. I guess it didn't help that he was still sort of looking for me either," Misty said sadly.
May nodded knowingly.
"So you're Misty, eh? "The One That Got Away". Nice to uh, meet you on the phone. Why are you calling me again?" May pondered.
Misty sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"Look, I know you're friends with Ash and all. And so, I'm betting you have his phone number. Especially since when Brendan first called, you thought he was Ash. Anyways, I need his phone number. I have to stop him before he does anything stupid. Of course, his whole life is just a huge mess of stupidity, but he's really not ready. I mean, this is Gary and the Unbeatable Four we're talking about. So, can I please have it?" Misty ranted.
May nodded, grabbing a piece of paper from her bag on the floor.
"Yeah, sure. Hang on. Um, 555-6542-51771. Uh, good luck," May recited nervously.
Misty sighed and began dialing it on her cell phone.
"Yeah, I'm sure I'll need it. And do us all a favor and hook up with Brendan already. Unless of course, you're after Ash. Because then, by all means, go after him. Goodbye, May and Brendan," Misty whispered softly.
Misty hung up Rudy's phone and placed her cell phone to her ear. It rang three times and there was no answer.
"Hey, this is Ash. If you're getting this, I'm probably in the middle of a battle, sleeping, or eating. Or I forgot to turn my cell on again. If you're my friend or a relative, I'll probably call you back. Unless I don't know your number. And if you're a stranger, then why are you even calling me in the first place? Leave a message when you hear Pikachu," The message went.
Misty sighed. She had really missed him over the years.
"Pikachu."
Misty swallowed.
"Ash, this is Misty. Yeah, I know, big surprise. Look, I heard that you're going to try beating the Unbeatable Four and... Gary. But you're really not ready, Ash. Wait a while, a few months. Just don't beat them now. Please. Uh, I'm going to hang up now. Bye," Misty said frantically.
She quickly hung up. Rudy looked quizzically at Misty. He smirked.
"Oh, so you finally asked for Ash's number. Planning to ask him out anytime soon?" Rudy sneered, slightly interested.
Misty fixed a fierce glare on him.
"Don't bet on it," Misty snapped, annoyed.
Rudy smiled.
"Yes!" Rudy said, bringing his arm down happily.
Misty gave him a strange look. However, over in the Sacred Forest, Ash had entered the first chamber. It had a carpet of grass and trees surrounded the clearing, branching out to the walls. Brightly colored flower garlands and wreaths of leaves decorated the sunny room. Ash looked around the clearing nervously. Wasn't there supposed to be a trainer here?
Then he heard a rustling from the leaves and a man slightly older than him stepped from the shadows. He had spiky dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. He was wearing a emerald green shirt with faded blue jeans and a matching jean jacket with tan hiking boots. He stuck a hand out to Ash.
"Hi, I'm Varden Garden. I am the Grass Master of the Unbeatable Four. You look lost. Can I help you?" Varden asked kindly.
Ash grinned.
"Yeah, you can battle me," Ash said bluntly.
