Ash's Return:

Chapter 6: A Surprise

Attack

"You two won't be going anywhere," a female voice said behind them sitting on a swing. "Your two of Ash Ketchum's friends right."

"Who are you and how do you know Ash?" Misty asked looking at the girl.

"I'm one of the Elite Five of Team Rocket," the Female voice replied. "Were Team Rockets top fighters and not like any of the members you faced before."

"Am I suppose to be impressed," Misty replied bluffing a little.

"Well then little girl let's have a battle and I'll so you are power," the female voice said as she got off the swing. "Gyarados let's destroy her." Gyarados then appeared on the park grounds.

"I won't lose to you," Misty replied taking out a Poke Ball. "Starmie let's teach her to mess with us." Starmie then appeared.

"You can go first," the female voice said.

"Fine," Misty replied. "Starmie hit it with Water Gun."

"Pathetic that Pokemon won't even put a dent into Gyarados power," the female voice replied. "I'll end this in one attack." The water gun then hit Gyarados showing know affect at all.

"Shut up and battle," Misty replied. "Starmie Tackle it."

"Take it," the female voice said. Starmie then hit Gyarados across the face causing it to shout in pain. "What you manage to hurt him impossible. Were ten times stronger then you are were unbeatable."

"I'm not as weak as you may think," Misty replied. "Now use Swift." Gyarados stood still taking each one of the attacks head on moaning in pain. "Don't stop." After a while Gyarados started to look in real pain. Starmie was now being to slow down as it began to tire out.

"Now are chance use Hydro Pump," the female voice shouted.

"Starmie move," Misty shouted as Gyarados fired. Misty didn't notice till it was to late that Starmie was the target of the attack. Misty just stood there in shock as the water came at her.

"Misty move," Melissa shouted pushing her out of the way getting hit straight on by the attack. When the attack was over Melissa could be see her laying against the jungle gym pasted out.

"What a dumb girl," the female voice said pulling down her hood. "I would of let her go unharmed but I guess she didn't want to be left out."

"That was awful what you did to her," Misty said angrily. "She may have been annoying and bugged the hell out of me sometimes. Not to mention Ash likes her a lot better. But she didn't deserve that." Misty looked at the female she looked to be around 28 with long blue hair and aqua green eyes. "That was to cruel."

"I'm a member of Team Rocket it's my job to be cruel," the blue hair girl replied. "Take that as a warning and tell Ash were going to take him down." She then returned her Gyarados and began to walk off. Misty wanted so much to go after her but she had to help Melissa she did save her after all. She went over and wished Brock or Ash were there to help her as she tried to lift Melissa up. After she got a good grip on her she looked around noticing a Pokemon Center right outside the park. She was sure Nurse Joy would help her.

............................

Back at the diner Ash and Brock were just paying their bill and getting ready to go. Ash and Pikachu stood outside as Brock paid the waitress. Ash looked down at Pikachu as he saw him holding a picture of Alice he carried around in his bad.

"Don't worry Pikachu will see her again really soon I'm sure," Ash said looking down a Pikachu. "We always do right. Brandon will come to challenge me again I'm sure."

"Hey Ash look what I got," Brock said as he came out the door.

"What?" Ash asked.

"It appears I did quite a number on that waitress earlier," Brock said. "Because she just gave me her number."

"That's great Brock," Ash replied sounding surprised. "It's about time some girl took you up on your offer." Just then they heard Brock's cell phone go off.

"Hello Brock speaking," Brock said answering his phone. "What Misty? Slow down I can understand you."

"Hey Brock what up?" Ash asked. "Did something happen to them."

"What you were attacked," Brock shouted causing everyone on the street to look at him. "Your where? Will be there as soon as possible."

"Brock who was attacked?" Ash shouted looking at his friend.

"I'll explain later we have to get to the Pokemon Center right away," Brock said as they both ran towards the Pokemon Center as fast as they could. When they got there Ash saw Misty waiting for them at the door.

"Misty what happen?" Ash asked grabbing her shoulders. "Where's Melissa? Were ether of you two hurt."

"Melissa was hit during the battle trying to help me," Misty said. "The Doctor said she'll be fine all she needs is some rest." Then they all went inside and sat down on a bench in the main lobby.

"So what happened?" Ash asked as he took a sip of soda out of the can Nurse Joy gave him. "Who attacked you?"

"After the movie me and Melissa were taking a walk threw the park," Misty said. "We were planning to look for you two when a women in a black cloak came over and asked about you. I challenge her to a battle and she was letting me win. At first I thought she was just being over confident and was taken off guard when she finally fought back targeting me instead. Melissa went and pushed me out of the way just in time taking the attack head on."

"Damn it if only I was there," Ash said crushing the can in his hand as he got up soda dripping down the side of the can. "I'm going to hunt her down. If she has a problem with me she stood face me head on." Ash then started to go.

"Wait Ash," Misty said grabbing his arm. "You should stay here so you can be here when Melissa wakes up. I'm sure she like to see the boy she loves when she wakes up."

"How do you know?" Ash asked.

"Because I love you to Ash," Misty shouted without thinking. "Because I know I want you there." She then cover her mouth as she just realize what she said.
