"These mean spoken words"
*These mean thoughts*
"Maybe..." Ash said thoughtfully. "Maybe we're meant to be together?"
"But why?" Misty asked, mulling over ash's last statement. She looked at him, her eyes swirling with emotions. "What's so special about us?"
Ash shrugged. *If you only KNEW how I feel about you...* he thought. Aloud, he said "I dunno. Either way, it's kinda weird, dontchya think?"
Misty fell silent again. *We've been together for how long now?* she thought to herself. *Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto. I was there when he competed in all of them. I was there when he caught his Pokemon... and when they left him for better things. Squirtle to go back to the Squirtle Squad. Pidgeot was guarding the wild Pidgies and Pidgottos from the Spearow and Fearow. I was there when Charizard decided to stay in the Charisific Valley to train. I remember how heartbroken Ash was. I loved him through all of it. I still do.* She fought back tears. *But how do I tell him?*
"Hey" Ash's voice made her jump. "You ready to get going?"
Misty nodded and Ash helped her up. They walked the rest of the way in silence. Ash was right, there was a path beyond the oak tree. It led right to Angel City.
"I was here once before" Ash said as they approached. "It's a really pretty place."
Misty drew in a breath and stared in awe at the whiteness before them. "Wow."
Angel City seemed to have descended straight from Paradise. Buildings shone like white ivory in the afternoon sunlight.
"It looks even better at night when the moon's up" Ash said, once again taking Misty's hand and leading her down the hill into the city.
"It's beautiful" Misty whispered, hugging Togepi close to her chest.
*Just like you.* Ash thought. Suddenly, a group of people rushed by and they heard someone shouting. "What's that about?" Ash asked.
Misty shrugged. "Let's go find out." They followed the crowd that had gathered in a large circle around someone.
"...It was huge!" he exclaimed. "Like a white Arcanine it looked like! Scared me half dead!"
"Um, excuse me," Misty said to the person next to her. "Do you know what he's talking about?"
The woman shrugged. "Some kinda Pokemon no one's ever seen" she replied. "He's always seein things. Never saw him this worked up about somethin though." She shrugged again and walked away. The crowd dissipated, leaving the man alone.
"Why don't no one believe me?" he yelled. Then he spotted Ash and Misty.
"Hey you!" he shouted at them. He was about twenty, long brown hair and the greenest eyes Misty had ever seen. "You believe me, don't ya?" He walked up to them. "It's called a Diota[1]. It's a legendary Pokemon, the only Elemental Pokemon in existance. Evolves from Dracano, weak puny thing, second only to Magikarp. But when it evolves..." he trailed off. "It becomes more powerful than Mew itself."
"How can I catch one?" Ash asked excitedly. Misty giggled and rolled her eyes.
"You and your Pokemon, Ash" she said. Ash pushed her playfully then turned back to the guy. "So?" he asked. "How do I catch one?"
"You must look to the sky" the man replied, pointing upward. Ash and Misty both looked up.
"Yea, but how do I--" Ash looked around in shock. "Hey, where'd he go?!" The stranger had disappeared. In the dirt at Misty's feet was a small piece of paper. Bending down, she picked it up.
"What's this?" she asked, turning it in her hand. "And why do I get the feeling that there's more to this than we know?"
