Ash's Return:

Chapter 4: Battle at

Viridain City

Misty then finally came out of the bathroom looking around seeing a room full of serious faces. "I missed something important didn't I?" Misty asked looking around the room.

"Oh thank you Ash," Melissa said hugging him.

"You can't kill her yet," Misty thought to herself as she watched Melissa hugging Ash.

"Oh Misty are you feeling better?" Ash asked as Melissa let go.

"Yah much better," Misty replied. "So did I miss anything important?"

"Yah but well explain on the way," Ash said picking up his bag. "We have to make it to Viridain City." The group then soon left for Viridain City and arrived just as the sun was setting.

"Well wonder where the welcoming party is," Brandon said looking at Ash.

"There most likely waiting for us by the gym," Ash replied. Just then a rustling could be heard in the bushes and two men in Team Rocket uniforms came out.

"I'll take these losers," Brandon said taking out two of his poke balls. "You guys go on."

"Sure," Ash replied grinning.

"Just don't lose before I beat you," Brandon replied.

"I won't be beaten," Ash replied. "I'll teach Melissa's Father a lesson for the way he treated her."

"Wow I guess Ash really likes her," Misty said turning to Brock.

"That may be part of part of it but remember he's still Ash," Brock replied. "He's not doing anything here that he wouldn't do for anyone else."

"Yeah your right Brock," Misty replied feeling a little better.

"Well guys let's go," Ash shouted running to the Gym seeing Melissa's Father standing at the entrance. He was a tall man with cold eyes and gray hair. He wore a really expensive looking business suit.

"Well Melissa it seems you finally did something useful for once," Melissa's Father said grinning. "But I should of guessed even an idiot like you could do something right. I've just made a deal with Team Rocket saying that your there's to use as they please. I take it they'll do just what I'm going to do to Ash. Give you away to different trainers then taking them for all there worth but I guess they'll be a little sneaker about it."

"Your joking," Melissa, shouted tears forming in her eyes. "How could you even think of doing this to me."

"Shut up and do as your told," Melissa's Father replied. "Idiots don't get a choose."

"Melissa isn't something you can just sell," Ash shouted. "You've treated her awful her whole life but it appears that now you've hit an all time low. You disgust me. After this battle I never want you to see of speak to me or her."

"Fine this will be a one on one match," Melissa's Father said. "If you win I'll leave you two alone form now on."

"Then if you win I'll turn myself over to Team Rocket," Ash replied. "Pikachu you in?"

"Pika," Pikachu replied.

"I knew you want to help Melissa to," Ash replied. "Now pick your Pokemon."

"Go Jolteon," Melissa's Father shouted pulling out a Poke Ball. Jolteon soon appeared. "Jolteon let's start with Thunderbolt."

"Pikachu dodged it and use quick attack," Ash shouted as Pikachu jumped back and ran at Jolteon.

"Jolteon reply with a quick attack of your own," Melissa's Father shouted. The two Pokemon then hit one another both jumping back. "Now use Thunder." Jolteon then shot out massive amounts of thunder at Pikachu.

"Pikachu agility," Ash shouted. Pikacku then sped up just dodging the thunder by inches as it chased him.

"Jolteon stop and use quick attack," Melissa's father shouted.

"Pikachu stand still," Ash said as Pikachu just stood there. Pikachu stood there waiting for the attack.

"Ash don't be dumb have him dodge it," Misty shouted.

"Pikachu Iron Tail now," Ash shouted at the last minute as Pikachu jumped up and his tail began to glow.

"Jolteon dodge," Melissa's Father shouted but it was too late and Pikachu's tail whacked Jolteon back sending him into a tree.

"Now thunder," Ash said as Pikachu sent a thunder attack at Jolteon. Then there was a huge blast and when the smoke cleared Jolteon was passed out.

"Jolteon return," Melissa's Father shouted. "Ash I'll kill you." He then pulled out a gun but it soon seemed to be cut in half and a Scyther stood in front of him it's blade under his neck. He then quickly ran off as fast as he could.

"Brandon it's about time you showed up," Ash said grinning. "I was being to worried for a second there."

"Well I love seeing to sweat," Brandon replied carrying the two Team Rocket members who attacked him. Both looked rather beaten up bleeding a little."

"What happened to those two?" Brock asked.

"They tripped," Brandon replied. "And my fist just happened to be there."

"Right," Brock replied not surprised.

"Ash you were amazing out there," Melissa said smiling at him. "I can't tell you how grateful I am in words. So let me show you." She then moved her face forward towards Ash.

"Crap," Misty thought pushing Ash out of the way without thinking. She then felt the same set of lips as this morning and began to blush. "Not this again."

"Wow even Misty got a girlfriend before me," Brock said.

"I'm straight," Misty shouted.

"I don't know I'm sure I felt something when you kissed me," Melissa replied. "Your good at it."

"Oh man," Misty said slapping her face. "Well anyone want to see a movie?"

"Sure it's a date," Melissa said smiling. "But only this once I really don't go that way but there this movie I really want to see."

"I'm straight," Misty replied shouting but Melissa just smiled. "Okay let's check the movie times."

"But remember hands to yourself," Melissa said. "I'm straight and your not really my type."

"What do you mean," Misty replied. "I'll let you know plenty of girls would kill to go out with me." Misty slapped her face again. "What am I saying?"
