Leaving your heart behind
Chapter three: "And so the romance begins…"
Disclaimer: No, I don't anything (but that's pretty obvious right? -_-)
I guess I didn't take too long to update… But still, I apologize for those (few -_-) who were waiting…
Well, finally a bit more of romance (and it isn't Ash with May… ^^)! But don't except a chapter full of love declarations and kisses because this is only, let's say, a start, an introduction for the romance, so it will be mostly just flirting for now. ^^
For those who are love addicts and romantics (like me ^_~), I guess I can say that love is really, really close, so you just have to hang on a bit more… For those who like action you'll have to wait a bit more, because it will take a few more chapters… (don't know exactly how many ^^).
Now, before the story:
Amber Myst: I'm glad you didn't thought it was too long (it's because I try to write the chapter, but I can't cut things that I think that are important for the chapter I'm writing, so I end up making them a bit long… ^^). Anyway, I hope I didn't take too long to update, I just got too busy with school… Well, I hope you like this one too, and please, keep reviewing my loyal reader! ^-^
NoZoMi aNd HoTaRu: I just have to say thank you for being so nice in your reviews! I hope you'll like this chapter too (this one took a bit longer to update right? ^^)! Please keep reviewing (my other loyal reviewers ^-~)! Oh, and you don't have to feel bad for Misty, finally she's getting a man… oops, I'm saying too much already… ^^ (keep in mind that I'm not sure about the pairings, so you keep reviewing and giving your opinion!)
Just me and myself: Thank you too for always reviewing! Oh and I forgot to thank you for putting me in your author alert list! What can I say, it's a definitely good thing for my ego! ^-^
And now, the story…
4 years later…
7:00 AM
The alarm clock was ringing, trying to wake a young woman, in her early twenties, but not being successful. She pulled the blankets, covering her beautiful face, but it seems that it didn't help, so she decided to do something more effective: she "kindly" smacked the alarm clock, making it stop ringing.
Two hours later…
A young woman with shiny, red hair, a bit longer than shoulder length, made her way to her bathroom, tripping in various pieces of cloth, shoes, among others.
"Crap!" she cursed when she saw her beautiful but tired face on the bathroom mirror.
Her marvellous blue eyes were red from her lack of sleep, her hair was a mess, she had to pick her sisters at the airport, she had to battle the trainers, to clean the pools…
"Wait, pick my sisters at the airport???" Misty Waterflower suddenly shrieked.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! What time is it?" she asked out loud, forgetting that she was all alone in the gym.
She quickly run to her room and looked at the alarm clock.
9:11AM
"NOOOOOO! Why did I have to turn off the stupid alarm??" she yelled and proceed with cursing. Her sisters were going to arrive from her long trip in exactly 24 minutes and she didn't even wash her face!
"Focus Misty!" she repeated to herself "Planes are always late, so I'm taking my bath and then I'll be there in 20 minutes…Hopefully…" she said and run to her shower.
After a really quick shower and drying her hair with a towel, Misty run to the closet and grabbed the first thing she saw: a blue mini skirt, a yellow t-shirt and a pair of yellow sandals.
Running the staircase down with her purse and sunglasses on one hand and the car keys on her mouth, she burst through the gym doors and run to her red car, speeding off to Cerulean Airport.
"Calm down Misty, calm down, you're only… half an hour late???" she yelled "Sorry sir, but I'm in a hurry!" Misty said as she ignored an old man trying to cross the road.
After more 15 minutes of constant yelling, Misty was able to arrive the airport with only 45 minutes late…
"Right, so where are they?" Misty asked, while scanning the whole airport, trying to find hear dear sisters.
Ring, ring
Misty took off her sunglasses and juggled with her purse, car keys, gym keys and notepad, while she tried to find her damn cell phone.
"This is Misty, who's talking?" Misty asked, after finally finding her phone.
The airport was full of persons dragging huge bags, children running and screaming friends meeting. Misty was looking at them, while she heard a familiar voice on the phone.
"Hi Misty, it's Lily!" Misty's sister replied.
" Lily? I'm sorry, I know I'm late but I overslept… So where are you, I'll pick you up!" Misty quickly apologized.
"Well, it's like this… We, humm, decided to stay for a few more days…" Lily said in a low tone.
"What?" Misty asked menacingly.
"Well, while we were shopping some souvenirs we lost track of time and missed our plane… Then we met these gorgeous boys that…" she started before Misty yelled:
"YOU MISSED YOUR PLANE BECAUSE YOU WERE SHOPPING?? AND I WAS EVEN APOLOGIZING TO YOU??? AND NOW YOU WANT TO STAY A BIT LONGER BECAUSE YOU MET SOME 'GORGEOUS BOYS'??"
"Yeah, something like that… But we are really sorry! We'll be back in three days, we have already buy the tickets, we just want to have some fun before we're gone…" Lily answered quickly.
"HAVE SOME FUN?? I HAVEN'T SLEPT THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE I HAD TO CLEAN THE HOLE GYM AFTER DUZENS OF BATTLES, I HAD TO RUN HERE TO PICK YOU UP BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS LATE AND YOU SAY THAT YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN?? WELL, DON'T EXPECT ME TO PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU RETURN, YOU CAN CALL A TAXI, IT´S MUCH MORE FUNNIER!!!" she yelled and hung up.
Misty looked at all the persons that were near her. They were all eye wide, whispering and she just yelled: "WHAT?" and stomp of the airport.
****************************************************************************************************************************************
"Just what I needed, public humiliation right before another exhausting…" Misty sighed, while she entered her gym.
She went to the pools and sat down, waiting for the trainers she had to face.
"Well, this seems to be incredibly calm today…" she said, right before she heard someone enter.
"Humm… I must confess I was expecting a bit more from one of the most known Gyms and Gym Leaders of the Kanto region…" a male voice said disapprovingly.
"What??" Misty asked absolutely outraged.
Well, that was all Misty had time to say before she saw his face…
"Gary Oak??? What are you doing in my Gym??" she asked surprised.
"In your Gym? So this means you're Misty Waterflower, that scrawny tomboy that used to follow Ketchum around??" Gary replied amazed.
"SCRAWNY TOMBOY???" Misty yelled livid.
"Hey, don't take it so personally, it was a compliment! You're looking great now…" Gary added.
"I'm looking great NOW??? Oh, you're definitely a gentleman Gary…" Misty said sarcastically.
"God, you don't have to be that angry…" he said wearily.
"Look, I'm a very busy person, so you tell me what you're doing here, and then you'll give me the pleasure of your departure…" Misty said coldly.
"She has definitely a bad temper…" Gary said between clenched teeth.
"Did you say something?" Misty asked menancigly.
"I was just saying that I came here to challenge you." he said glaring at her.
"You challenge me?" Misty chuckled and asked "And why would you do that?"
"The Rules of Indigo League have changed. After years of hard work and training I finally thought I would be able to win the trophy and challenge the Elite four, but it seems that I have to win some badges again." Gary informed.
"So, what happened?" Misty asked impatiently, making Gary frown.
"Although I already won, years ago, all the badges that I require to enter the competition, a new rule was made. It says that trainers can only enter the championship if they won the badges from the present Gym Leaders. This means that even if I have all the badges, I have to face the new gym leaders." he replied.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? I, Misty Waterflower, Cerulean City Gym Leader, accept your challenge." Misty said as she got into the arena.
Gary went to the arena and reached his pokéballs.
"Each one of us will use one pokémon." Misty said while she grabbed her pokéball.
"Ok, let's start then!" Gary said and tossed one pokéball "Go Scizor!" he added.
"Go Tentacruel! Use Surf!" Misty demanded.
"Use Metal Claw Scizor!" Gary said quickly.
"Dive into the pool Tentacruel!" Misty ordered swiftly.
"Use Razor Wind to remove the water!" Gary yelled.
Scizor's Razor Wind was able to get rid of the water and Tentacruel was exposed to any attack.
"That's it, use Slash to finish him off!" Gary ordered.
"No way! Tentacruel, confuse him with Supersonic and then take him down with Hydro Pump!" Misty demanded.
"I can't believe in this, I was defeated by a chick!" Gary said astonished "Good job Scizor, return!" he added.
"Yeah Gary, seems that your 'hard work and training' need to be a bit harder…" Misty said, smiling devilishly.
"Ah, ah, I just let you win this time because I don't want you to feel to embarrassed tomorrow, when I'll beat you…" Gary apologized, looking away from her amused eyes.
"That's such a lame excuse! You're pathetic Gary Oak!" Misty said, laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, you're just teasing me because you find me hot!" he said with a sexy smile.
"I what??" Misty stuttered, blushing "Get out of my Gym Gary!" she yelled irate, when she noticed her burning face.
"Ok, but I'll be here tomorrow to take the badge with me…" Gary said smiling wider.
"Get out, NOW!!!" Misty yelled again.
Gary turned and left the Gym, waving a hand and smiling again.
"I didn't need this, I so didn't need this…" Misty said, rubbing her temples and looking at the Gym doors.
"He's impossible to bear! That snob, arrogant… Oh, I can't even describe him!" Misty said, putting her hands in her red cheeks.
"But you can't wait to see him again…" a little voice said in the back of her head.
"What??? I must be crazy…" Misty said, feeling her cheeks going deep crimson… Again.
That's all for today!
