Leaving your heart behind
Chapter one: "Hey, surprise! Misty's broken heart"
Disclaimer: Nop, I don't own pokémon, sorry to disappoint you… Don't own "The ring" too, ok?
Before the story…
Kantaris thank you so much for reviewing, I just hope you like this chapter! ^^
"Ok, I've got exactly one day to plan this and another 2 days to get to Hoenn… And how exactly am I going to do that?" Misty asked herself while she looked at her breakfast: a cold toast and an empty glass of milk. "How long have I been here thinking? " she sighed deeply.
"Doesn't matter either! Humm… Less than two days to get to Hoenn… This isn't definitely a difficult mission, it's an impossible mission!" Misty smiled.
"Well, and who's the best one to do such an heroic deed? I, Misty Waterflower, a fiery and amazing redhead that astonishes everyone with her amazing water pokémon!" she ended confidently.
"Now let's get to work! I'm gonna call Nurse Joy and ask her to warn the trainers that I'm closing the gym for 2 days, then I'm gonna find a way to get to Hoenn in time!" she got up quickly and went up the stairs to her room.
"Ash, don't worry, I'll be there for you like I've always have!" Misty said and blushed slightly.

After 9 battles, a whole day sighing and two entire ice cream boxes eaten, Misty was in her room, lying down on her bed.
"Right, Nurse Joy warned…" Misty said while she wrote down on her notebook.
"Trains checked…" she continued "All I have to do now is call Brock and find out where they are…" she said, while playing with her pen.
Misty looked at the phone and stretched her hand to grab it just before… It started to ring!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Oh my God!" she yelled, putting her hand in her chest.
"Ok Misty, calm down…" she said while she answered it.
"Hello?" Misty said.
"Seven days…" a creepy voice said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Misty yelled, again "Wait a minute, I haven't seen the movie, why are they calling me?" she asked suddenly.
We could hear someone snickering on the phone while Misty's face turned deep crimson…
"Well, this has to be a childish and dense brat… Ash Ketchum, what's your problem??" Misty yelled on the phone, her fists clenched.
Ash burst in laughter and each time he tried to speak, he laughed even harder.
"Misty, you should have heard your voice, you just panicked!" he said between laughters.
Misty just stood silent, her anger rising with each second passed, with each giggle heard on the phone.
"Ash, I advise you to shut up…" she said calmly.
"What? Misty don't tell me that you didn't like the joke…" he said sarcastically and added "I just decided to do a little prank… We just saw the movie today and the look on May's face when I did this to her was priceless…" he giggled even more.
Misty's heart twitched. "He did this to May too?" she asked herself and then decided to just ignore it "Why do I even care?" she asked and pursued with her insults.
"I can't believe you're almost 18 years old Ash Ketchum, you act like you're a 5 year old!" she said grinning evilly "I won!" she thought to herself.
"Hey do you even look at yourself? At least I didn't freak out when I heard a voice saying "seven days"!" he shot back and smiled smugly "I won!" he thought.
"I was just tired and overreacted, you know, being a gym leader is a tough job…" she said "While you try to beat gym leaders, I have to bear brats like you…" she ended, her smile even wider. "I won, won, won…" she thought happily.
"Oh yeah, Miss-I'm-the-best-water-pokémon-trainer-in-the-world? At least I can do what I want and have fun while you have to clean the pools…" he said smiling and thinking "This time I won…"
"Oh yeah, Mr-I'm-gonna-be-the-best-pokémon-master-in-the-whole-world? I feel sorry for Max, May and Brock, because you and your amazing shortcuts always end up leaving you guys lost…" Misty said giggling, "Ah, ah, this time I won!" she thought.
"You won't get away that easy Missy! I…" Ash tried to say, but the cellphone was ripped off his hands.
"Oh dear, dear Misty, it's almost like you're still here, your constant arguments still caress my ears every single day…" Brock said exasperated.
"Sorry Brock!" Misty apologized, smiling at her friends "sweet" comments " Oh, but I've gotta talk to you… Can you go to a quite place?" Misty asked.
"A quite place or a non-Ash place?" Brock asked grinning.
"Oh well, a non-Ash place…" Misty smiled.
"Humm… You want to talk about Ash birthday right?" Brock asked.
"Yeah, that's it. I'm thinking about going to visit you for 2 days…" Misty told him.
"That's great Misty! I'm sure Ash will love it!" Brock said sincerely.
"Oh well, I thought that since we haven't seen each other for like, three years, and turning 18 is an important moment for everyone, I could close the gym for three days and visit you guys, remember the old days…" she said.
"Great idea! Well, Ash is going to the gym tomorrow, so we're only leaving in two days… If you come tomorrow night he won't be suspicious…" Brock said matter-of-factly.
"Then that's it: tell me exactly where you are, I'm going to catch the train first thing tomorrow and then I'll rent a bike and meet you…" Misty informed.
"Ok, get a notebook, a pen and a map, I'm gonna tell you where we are…" Brock said while Misty reached her notebook, pen and threw her pillows trying to find the map…

6:00 a.m.
Misty, who had already drunk 3 cups of coffee, was sitting in a bench, watching the almost empty train station, waiting for her own train.
"I'm just…" Misty yawned "…sooooooo tired…" she ended.
"All passengers for Hoenn please go to platform 14, the train has already arrive and it will leave in exactly five minutes"
"Oh damn…" Misty cursed as she got up quickly and run to the platform.
Ten minutes, lots of bruises and lots of cursing later…
"I can't believe in this, I had to fell right in front of the train, with everyone looking at me… I'm just glad it's still 6:10, imagine if it was 10:00…" Misty turned her head towards the window while she searched her bag with one hand, trying to find a chocolate bar….
"Nooooooooo…" Misty said between clenched teeth, her attention now in her red bag. "I forgot them, I forgot my precious chocolate bars, my breakfast and lunch… DAMN IT!" Misty yelled and blushed when she saw the disapproving looks that an old lady gave her while she covered her grandchild ears.
"This is going to be a very long trip…" she mumbled and turned her gaze to the window, trying to avoid that delicious sandwich that the young girl was eating, a present from her dedicate grandmother.
"Too long…" Misty cursed when the girl said "It's delicious grammy!"…

Twelve hours later, in a Pokémon Center, in Mauville City…
"FOOD!" Misty yelled and Nurse Joy looked astonished for a split second before running for some food.
After having a decent meal (and apologizing to Nurse Joy) Misty rent a bike and left to find Ash.
"Right, now turn left, enter the forest and ride for 2 miles…" Misty said after riding for half an hour.
"Well, without Ash here to get me lost, I'm almost there…" Misty smiled.
Thirty minutes later, Misty was there. She looked around to see if she could find them and she started to hear some sounds…
"Brock, I'm leaving for some firewood, be back in a minute!" she heard someone say.
"It's Ash! Ok Ashy-boy, ready or not, here I come!" Misty said smiling.
Just then she heard a female voice saying "I'm going too Brock! We won't be long…".
"I bet that's May…Doesn't matter, let's go find Ash, I can't wait to see the look on his face!" Misty said excitedly.
Misty brought her bike closer to Ash's camp and left it there silently. Then she walked slowly, trying to follow Ash and May's voices.
"Here they are…" Misty said when she saw them in a small clearing, grabbing some firewood. Right before she went there to hug Ash, May said:
"So, what do you want for your birthday Ash?"
Misty decided to stay there and listen.
"What? You don't have to give anything May…" he answered smiling.
"But I want to give you something…" she said in a low voice.
"What do you want to give me May?" Ash lay down the firewood and got closer to May.
"What are they doing?" Misty asked herself nervously "Stop, stop!" Misty clenched her fists but remained silent.
" Oh… Would you like…Humm, I … a kiss?" May asked embarrassed.
"Oh, ah, humm… A k-kiss?" he asked nervously.
"A kiss?? Oh my God, at least Ash doesn't seem to want it…" Misty thought to herself.
"You don't want, do you? Oh forget about it, it was just a …" May started.
"No, no! I want!" Ash answered and blushed hard.
Misty just stood there, grabbing her bag hard, almost tearing it apart, unable to move.
"Right, so…" May looked at her hands, not knowing what to do.
Ash leaned closer, May closed her eyes, Ash closed his and their lips met.
Misty just stood there, eyes wide saying to herself "Don't cry, don't cry! Oh, why am I so shocked? It was about time, right? I can't be… I can't be in love with Ash Ketchum… I can't be!" tears slid down her face "So why am I? Why am I in love with him??".
That's it!
