Cameron's Saga: Three's Company
Chapter 1
"Come on Metal! We have to make some time! Misty and Ash already have a days head start on us!" yelled Cameron from atop Metalgrid, the steelix.
Metal grunted and grinded some sounds that sort of sounded like,"Yeeroooragh!" It was a mystery to Cameron how steelixes could even communicate. The huge pokemon lurched forward a little faster. The trainer and gigantic pokemon were barreling down tiny Route 29. It was surprising that such a large pokemon could move so fast. People on their way to Cherrygrove City from Newbark Town learned the hard way just how fast a steelix could move that morning.
"GET OUTTA THE WAY!!!" A woman carrying two buckets of shellders jumped out of the just in time to not be run over by a two ton pokemon. She didn't look in a particularly good mood as Cameron watched her go by. People were jumping out of the way in groves screaming "AAAaaahhhhh!" as the two raced by.
The two had left at around 6:30. They arrived at the Cherrygrove pokecenter at 6:40.
"Stttteeeeeeeeoooooooorrrrrrgh!!!"
"Good job Metal, how bout a rest?" The steelix zapped back into its pokeball and Cameron walked toward the pokecenter. He noticed someone standing on a box looking in through a window. It wasn't just anyone. It was Ash.
Cameron walked over quietly not to be noticed. From the sound of it, Ash was looking into the girl's shower room. At least he hoped it was the girls shower room. Cameron cleared his throat and Ash jumped about a mile high.
"What are you doing, Ash?"
Ash whimpered and mumbled,"Oh shit..." Cameron continued to wait for an answer. "I'm ah... cleaning the windows. Yeah, Nurse Joy asked me to clean the windows!"
"Yet you have nothing with you to clean the windows with? Get outta here you pervert."
Ash jumped down from the box and submissively walked inside. Cameron followed him in. He had to heal his pokemon and Misty was obviously here. Ash's pikachu was now standing on Ash's shoulder. That was about the only thing Ash was good at: treating his pokemon well. Cameron handed his three pokeballs over to Nurse Joy. He went and sat down on the couch waiting for Misty to come out but Ash came and sat down with him.
"Uh, Cameron... this isn't easy for me to say but I need your help."
"Do I look like someone who can help you with your pervertedness?"
"No! Ugh, come on! I'm serious... I need you to help me to get Misty to fall in love with me. Ever since she came back from being with you, she never has liked me in that way again. We were friends but she didn't want to be more than that."
Cameron looked stunned. He hadn't expected this.
"Uh... Ash, look. I'm here to figure out who means more to me, Hannah or Misty. What if I find out that I still do love Misty?"
"Please, I'm begging you! Help me have Misty as you once had her! I love her so much!"
Cameron thought for a minute. "Maybe. That doesn't mean yes! It means that I will think about it. I have to figure myself out first."
Ash looked as though he was about to kiss Cameron so Cameron scooted over to prevent that from happening. Right on cue, Misty walked out the doors from the trainer reserved area. Her hair was down and looked a little damp from what probably was a shower. Needless to say, Cameron shuddered.
Misty ran over with a happy, surprised look on her face. "Cameron! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in New Bark town with Hannah? Or did you guys come back early?"
"Umm, no. Listen, it turns out I may still have feelings about you so Hannah and I thought it best to figure out what was going on. I'm going to walk with you guys to Goldenrod. I should know by then."
Misty stared for a moment. "Oh Cameron, I've missed you so badly..." Ash started to look angry. "I am so sorry about that day I walked out on you... You must really hate me..."
"Hey whoa. Wait a minute. First of all I said I may still have feelings for you. Second of all I don't hate you."
Misty winked. "Okay. Whatever you say. I know you Cameron. I know you're still in love with me. You don't have to admit it. I'm gonna go get my stuff."
