Ash's Return:

Chapter 7: Misty

Battle

"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.

The room then went completely silent except for the sound of the soda can Ash was holding hitting the ground. Ash stood there completely in shock.

"Oh crap did I say that out loud" Misty thought to herself. "I can't believe it." She then ran out of the Pokemon Center as fast as she could.

"Misty" Ash barely stumbled out.

"Give her sometime" Brock said putting his hand on Ash's shoulder. "She just needs some time alone."

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

Later that night Melissa woke up looking over she saw Ash sleeping in a chair right next to her. Melissa smiled as she got up and kiss Ash on the forehead. "Thanks for staying with me Ash" Melissa said as she left the room. She needed to get some fresh air for a bit. As she left the Pokemon Center she saw Misty sitting on a bench.

"Guess who?" Melissa said walking behind her putting her hands over Misty eyes. Melissa began to pout when she didn't answer. "Your know fun at all."

"Sorry" Misty replied sounding upset.

"Did I miss something when I was out or what?" Melissa asked sitting down next to Misty. "If your upset about the fight then I'm sorry I got in your way."

"No you have nothing to be sorry about" Misty replied looking up at the sky that had now cleared up. "I should thank you for saving me back there. That was a really nice thing to do."

"Well I'm sure you would of done the same thing for me" Melissa replied. "I'm just glad I could help out a little bit. I mean you guys were the first people to every really treat me like an equal. All my life I was sent to competitive private schools where everyone was always trying to out do the other. They weren't really interested in making friends. Especially with the dumbest girl at school and you saw what my home life was like. That's why I was so happy when I met Ash. He had nothing but nice things to say about me and I finally began to feel like I wasn't a failure or an idiot. I know I was a burden to him at first I couldn't walk very far and kept getting tired so we had to take tons of breaks. But he never complained once. It was the first time in my whole life I felt someone really cared about me."

"You really love Ash don't you?" Misty asked.

"Yes I'm sure of it" Melissa replied.

"Well to tell you the truth before I met you I was planning to tell Ash something important" Misty replied. "I was going to tell him that I loved him to. Sure I originally followed him because I was pissed he destroyed my bike. But as time pasted I slowly began to forget all about it and found myself falling in love with him. To bad back then I couldn't bring myself to tell him how I feel. I mean I can't believe I just blurted it out like that. I just got so jealous of you. All I could think was Melissa was out of the picture for a while here's my chance to take Ash back. Now I feel like crap for going that low after you saved me and have been so nice to me."

"I forgive you" Melissa replied. "It's clear you really care about Ash to so I can understand. I think it would be best to let Ash pick which one of us he wants to be with. You know the best girl wins. That sounds far to me."

"Sure" Misty replied.

"Aw how sugary sweet" a familiar voice said. "This is the part where you two kiss and make up right. How disgusting. If you want a guy you should just take him."

"You again" Misty replied making a fist as she saw the Team Rocket member from early. "I can't believe you show your face here again after what you did."

"Well I just wasn't happy with are battles result" the blue hair girl replied. "Being a perfectionist is such as awful curse. I just couldn't leave until I destroyed you completely."

"Well that's fine with me" Misty replied. "His will give me a chance to get revenge for what you did to Melissa earlier."

"Well then how about I battle the two of you together" the blue haired girl replied.

"No this is between you and me" Misty said glaring at her. "I can beat you all by myself. This battle will be one on one like before but no cheating this time."

"Fine then" the blue haired girl replied. "Gyarados go." Gyarados then appeared. "I'm sure you remember him."

"Don't worry I haven't forgotten" Misty replied. "Starmie we won't lose this time." Starmie then appeared.

"Just don't cry when you lose" the blue haired girl said with a grin.

"I won't" Misty replied. "Starmie let's start with tackle."

"Gyarados use Hydro Pump" the blue haired girl shouted.

"Dodge it" Misty shouted. Starmie then dodge the attack and whacked Gyarados across the face. "Hey what's the matter you can't win without using dirty tricks."

"I'm not even warmed up yet trust me" the blue haired girl replied. "Gyarados use Rap Attack." Starmie was then rapped up tightly by Gyarados body.

"Starmie hit it with Hydro Pump now" Misty shouted. Starmie then shot water right into Gyarados eyes causing it to shout in pain as it let go and hit Starmie with it's tail sending it into the wall. "Starmie are you okay."

"Use Hyper Beam now" the blue hair girl shouted. Gyarados with it's eyes closed started to form a Hyper Beam firing it everywhere not able to see anything. After a bit it hit the Pokemon Centers wall breaking it down.

"Starmie Return" Misty shouted as the wall was about to fall on it. "Stop that thing now."

"Oh no" the blue hair girl shouted as the beam was going to hit her. "Return now." Gyarados returned to his poke ball and the girl looked at the ground in front of her the black top was totally ripped apart. "You may of one his time but I'll be back to finish you." She then looked up as a rope ladder came down from a helicopter and she grabbed on. "This is far form over."
