Ash Ketchum looked wide-eyed at the rectangular piece of paper in his hand reading its contents over and over again. The headline read, "Gym leaders Misty Waterflower and Rudy Konawa have just been married!"

His mouth moved but no words came out. For the fourteen years he had known Misty, he had loved her. Her smile, her eyes, and her compassion for everyone she knew. Now, her heart could not be his. He sat in his room thinking. What he had just lost, why he lost it, and most of all how he could have changed it.

Misty sat in her new room on Trovita Island. She should have felt excited that she was newlywed, yet remorse filled her everywhere. Why, you ask? Because her heart had never yearned for Rudy. It had yearned and pined for Ash Ketchum.

But since he had won the title of Pokemon Master five years ago, he seemed so busy she felt she had to leave and to not be a thorn in his side. After she left, she met up once again with Rudy. After many rejections of going on a date, she finally agreed. Soon after, they started seeing each more frequently and after five years of seeing each other, Rudy finally popped the question. She had said yes and now here she was.

Finally, after receiving a call from the league for a meeting, Ash went into his bedroom bathroom to shower and shave. When he came out, Pikachu jumped on to his shoulder having been awakened by the blasted phone. Ash walked into the garage and chose his new 2004 Ferrari Enzo. All through the ride, all he thought about was Misty's marriage to Rudy. 'Why not me,' he thought glumly.

His attention focused on the meeting wondering what it was about, considering they never told him on the phone.

Wonder what the meeting's about? Well R&R if you want me update. Give me at least 5. Constructive Criticism welcome!!!
