God. . . this is the fourth chapter and it's still the second day in the
story =S.
I promise that the days will proceed faster. . . .just not in this chapter =P
~*~*~*~*~*
About an hour before dinner, Misty was in the hallway, getting ready to go to the Cerulean supermarket. It was raining outside so she was putting on her boots so that she wouldn't soak her socks, she put on her rain coat and took out an umbrella. Psyduck (Ash) went into the hallway and looked at her,
"(Where are you going?)" he asked.
"I'm just going to the supermarket." Misty replied, making sure that she had her wallet with her.
"(Can I go with you?)" Psyduck (Ash) asked.
"Sure." Misty said and smiled at him.
~*~*~*~*~*
"Psyduck, a trolley is not neccesary. I'm not going to buy that much stuff." Misty said tiredly.
"(Please! I've never been in one of these before!)" he lied. He tried to pull a puppy dog face and to boths surprise, it did work.
"Oh, okey." Misty sighed and sat Psyduck (Ash) in a trolley and went into the supermarket.
They went straight to the part of the supermarket where the stuff Misty was going to buy were. Psyduck (Ash) looked around, being a Psyduck wasn't all to bad. It was like becoming a little kid all over again.
Misty was looking at different vitamins that she could blend in with the Pokémon food she made.
Psyduck (Ash) looked around a little more and got to see something that almost made him drool.
He pulled Misty's jacket to get her attention. She looked away from the vitamins to face Psyduck. "What is it?" she asked.
"(Could you pretty please buy those cookies for me?)" he asked, pointing to the cookie shelf. He hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and his so called lunch had in some mysterious way disappeared.
And Togetic had been keeping his eyes on him since breakfast, so he couldn't sneak into the kitchen and get some real food.
"No, Psyduck." Misty said determinated, "You ate three pancakes this morning! You don't usually eat that much in a day!" Misty said.
"(Well, I'm hungry.)"
"In that case you'll have to wait for dinner." Misty said.
"(Pleeeaaase! I won't ask for anything else!)" he promised, looking up at Misty innocently. Misty couldn't explain why or what made her agree to buy those cookies. Normally, she wouldn't even bother.
She sighed deeply, went over to the cookie shelf and returned with the cookies Psyduck (Ash) had pointed at.
He stared dreamly at the cookies that were just waiting for him to eat them. Misty smiled widely and continued to the pay office.
~*~*~*~*~*
The day went by fastly and it was time to go to sleep. Misty was still looking after Psyduck's Pokéball, she couldn't believe that she had been so careless and just lost it.
Psyduck (Ash) was also looking, well, he pretended to look after the Pokéball. The clock was approaching 23:00 p:m and he was walking through the hallway upstairs, humming quietly on a song that he had heard in the supermarket. He passed Misty's room and to his surprise she wasn't asleep. She was looking down at something, which she seemed to have in her hands. Psyduck (Ash) entered her room. He went closer and saw that she was. . . crying?
"(Misty? What's wrong?)"
"What are you doing up, Psyduck?" she asked as she wiped away her tears. Psyduck (Ash) looked down at what Misty was holding in her hands.
It was a picture. Psyduck (Ash) had a hard time trying to see what or whom was on the picture since it was all dark.
"Do you think I'll ever see him again?" she asked quietly. He looked closer and saw who was on the picture. He got kinda surprised at the question.
"(Of course, you will! I mean, why wouldn't you? We- You're friends, right?)" Psyduck (Ash) said.
Misty smiled weakly, "I miss him."
Psyduck (Ash) started to get a serious sense of guilt. He had been in Kanto for two months and even though he also missed Misty alot, he hadn't called her to let her know that he was back and he was so into his training that he hadn't even thought about coming up here to Cerulean.
Misty sighed and put the picture under her pillow. "It's getting late, Psyduck. I'll fix a bed for you." Misty said as she got up and started to fix a comfy bed by a corner where Psyduck (Ash) could sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Great, Psyduck! Just one more turn." Misty said from the side of the pool. They had been training all morning and Ash was almost sure that Misty was trying to kill him.
When he was finished with the last turn he went up from the pool, panting. Misty ran up to him, picked him up and embraced him.
"That was awesome, Psyduck! You've finally learned how to swim!" Misty said happily. Psyduck (Ash) smiled proudly, seeing Misty so happy made all efforts worthwhile.
Misty put him down gently, she sat down on her knees and looked at him.
"Psyduck. . . now you've learned some of the basis. I know that you can't learn how to use your water canon and that's okey. It's not such an important attack. And I do know that you don't want to evolve and I respect that. I'm really trying to find a way to teach you how to master your psycic abilities so that you won't need a headache to use them. So, I asked the new Nurse Joy for help. She's some kind of an expert when it comes to psychological things and she has watched Prima train her Pokémon a longer period so she has some experience in water/psycic Pokémon." Misty explained and tried to prepare Psyduck (Ash) for the upcoming training.
Psyduck (Ash) had a gut feeling that all that swimming back and forth would be nothing compared to what was waiting him.
"You can take a break now, Psyduck. I'll go to the Pokémon Center and I'll be back in about 20 minutes." Misty said as she went up and started to walk out towards the lobby.
Psyduck (Ash) gulped, this could not be good. How was she going to train him? He started to walk towards the living room and he was just passing the kitchen when something just popped outta nowhere.
"(Aha!!!)" Togetic burst out as he came out of the kitchen, "(Busted!)"
"(I wasn't on my way into the kitchen, stupid.)" Psyduck (Ash) said tiredly.
"(Of course you weren't. I mean, you've been training all morning, mommy's out and you just happened to pass here.)" Togetic said sarcasticly, crossing his arms.
"(You're giving me a headsplitting headache.)" Psyduck (Ash) said and automatically put his paws on his head.
"(If you attack me I'll tell mommy!)" Togetic said warningly.
"(You threatned me with breaking my beak!)" Psyduck (Ash) reminded him.
"(Well, that was because you said that mommy's food didn't taste good, so if I tell her that she'll break your beak anyways. And on top of that she would get even more sad.)" Togetic said matter-of-factly.
"(What do you mean by 'even more sad'? She's not sad.)" Psyduck (Ash) said.
"(Yes, she is. She misses daddy alot.)" Togetic said.
"(You have a dad?)" Psyduck (Ash) asked somewhat surprised.
"(Uh-huh, I miss him and I miss my sister too!)" Togetic said as he began to sob.
"(Um, don't cry. . . I'm sure that you'll see eachother again." Psyduck (Ash) said, trying to comfort Togetic.
"(Mommy said that daddy is in Hoenn and that he'll come back but I was this little the last time I saw him.)" Togetic said and put his paw down to show exactly how little he had been,
"(And mommy has put daddy's cap in a very special place so that it won't get dirty or disappear.)" Togetic said as he wiped away his tears. (A/N - yes, I know, Ash didn't give Misty his cap, but I think that the whole idea of Ash giving Misty his cap is cute so I used it )
Psyduck (Ash) fell backwards. He was Togetic's daddy?! And okey, sure, Misty had been crying last night but he never thought that this was something that had been going for a while.
He continued to walk into the living room while Togetic went back into the kitchen where he would play three in a row with Corsola.
Psyduck (Ash) went up on the chair that was low enough for him to reach up to. He took the reciever and dialled the phone number home to Pallet Town.
There wasn't any risk that his mother would pick it up since she was on a vaccation with an old friend at the Mandarin Island for three weeks and she had taken mr. Mime with her. So if someone picked it up, it would be Brock, Tracey or May. Her little brother, Masato, had stayed back in Hoenn.
Two signals passed by before someone picked up the phone.
"The Ketchum residence, Tracey Sketchit speaking."
"(Tracey! You guys gotta help outta here! Misty has gone out to get Nurse Joy so that she can teach me how to use psycic attacks without my headache!)" Psyduck (Ash) said somewhat panicked.
"Try to see that from the bright side, as fast as she had trained you to level 45 you'll turn into yourself. We can't do that, you know." Tracey said and chuckled.
"(I think she knows that I'm Psyduck.)" Psyduck (Ash) said. Tracey looked surprised and shocked at Psyduck (Ash), "What?. . . you've been there for a day and a half and you think that she already knows?!"
"(Um. . . that's what I think. . . yesterday she mentioned that I was acting like me and today she made me swim back and forth in the swiming pool!)" Psyduck (Ash) said.
"Ugh, Ash that's called training.I think that it sounds like she's training you well and that you will be yourself in just a couple of days if not sooner. Play along." Tracey said. Psyduck (Ash) heard voices from the lobby, "Gotta go, Trace'. My master is here.)" he hung up, went off the chair and ran back into the swim court.
Just as he sat down on the floor, he saw Misty and Nurse Joy walk into the room with some kind of machine between them.
He walked up to them while they put the machine down.
"(What's this?. . . a new toaster?)" Psyduck (Ash) asked worried.
"This machine will help you to control your psycic powers, Psyduck. Like a little kick to help you on the road." Misty said happily.
"(A little kick?. . . this thing seem to have enough power to kick me all the way to the end of the road.)" Psyduck (Ash) commented and explored the machine a little closer. Nurse Joy opened the machine and in the tube like thing there was like a space, big enough to fit a Psyduck.
"(I have claustrofobia so there's no way you'll get me in there.)" Psyduck (Ash) said and backed away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ooh, the real training is about to begin! At least a part of it. =). . . gotta split, bye y'all!!! Don't forget to review!
I promise that the days will proceed faster. . . .just not in this chapter =P
