Ash's Return:

Chapter 8:

Searching for

Pikachu

"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 won 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."

"What happening?" Ash shouted running into the lobby seeing a huge hole on the wall.

"Oh Ash I was so scared," Melissa said running over to him grabbing him tightly. "That awful woman who attacked us came back and attacked us again."

"What are you doing?" Misty asked looking at Melissa her eye twitching a little.

"I'm letting my future boyfriend comfort me," Melissa replied.

"Well where is this woman?" Ash asked.

"I beat her for now but she'll be back," Misty replied.

"Well next time I'll finish things," Ash said looking at the two girls. "I think we need to talk."

"No need," Misty replied. "Me and Melissa talked it over and decided we'd let you pick."

"Well be competing for your heart so be ready," Melissa said smiling. "It could get pretty messy you know."

"Great," Ash replied sounding nervous.

"Oh my what happened here?" Nurse Joy said as she saw the huge hole in the wall and the lobby fairly damaged.

"It's a really long story," Ash replied. "Where should I start?" After Ash explained everything they all went to bed.

The next morning the group got up and got ready to go off. "Hey guys if you don't mind I'd like to stop home and see how my Dad doing," Brock said looking at the group.

"That's fine with me," Ash replied. "It's been a long time since I've been to Pewter City."

"Well if it's okay with Ash then I'm in," Melissa said.

"Yeah then we can go to my place," Misty replied. "I bet my sisters are worried. I was so excited about Ash coming back I kind of forgot to tell them I was going."

"Then let's go," Ash said pointing east.

"Um Ash Pewter City north of here," Brock said looking at him.

"I knew that," Ash replied. "I just wanted top see if you remembered." The group then made there way to the Pewter City Gym.

"Hey Dad," Brock shouted as they opened the door.

"Brock is that you?" Brock's Father asked looking up and seeing the group. "Oh you brought all your friends that great."

"So dad what's up?" Brock asked. "Is everything okay at home?"

"Yeah were fine," Brock's Father replied. "Your brothers and sisters are doing great and the gym been really busy lately with the new lot of trainers starting there journeys. But there was this one guy this morning who was amazing he completely destroyed me."

"What did this trainer look like?" Ash asked.

"Well he was a tall boy with a trench coat and he was with a young blonde haired girl," Brock's Father said.

"Brandon," Ash and Melissa said at the same time.

"You know him?" Brock's Father asked.

"Boy do I," Ash replied. "He's only my biggest rival." Ash then looked back and noticed Pikachu was gone. "Man I can't let my eye off him for a minute."

"Well at least he devoted," Brock said looking at Ash. "Hey Dad will be back in a bit. It appears we have to go and look for Ash's Pikachu."

"Umm you wouldn't happen to remember what way they went after they left?" Ash asked looking at Brock's Father.

"I believe then were going to go stock up on supplies," Brock's Father replied.

"But why does it matter where they are?" Misty asked.

"Oh you don't know," Ash said looking at Misty. "Pikachu as a huge crush on Alice so I'm sure he went looking for her."

"Don't worry Ash I'll find him," Melissa replied smiling. "You guys can just wait here."

"No you won't because I'm going," Misty shouted glaring at Melissa. "I'll find Pikachu in no time."

"Okay we can go together," Melissa replied smiling. "It will be lot a of fun."

"Right fun," Misty replied. "Let's go then." The two girls then left the gym.

"Are you sure it's okay to let them go together alone," Ash asked Brock.

"I'm sure they'll be fine," Brock replied.

Now off with Misty and Melissa the two girls were looking all over the city for Pikachu.

"Ah man I can't believe this just happened," Misty thought to herself smiling. "It's so perfect I can believe my luck. I'll go out and find Pikachu and when I return to Ash. He'll say 'Oh Misty I can't believe you found Pikachu your so amazing. I love you.'"

"Hey what are you thinking about," Melissa asked looking at Misty.

"Nothing really," Misty replied quickly huge grin on her face.

"Okay," Melissa replied.

"Now all I have to do is ditch her and find Pikachu," Misty thought to herself.

"They Misty isn't that Pikachu," Melissa asked pointing to the left seeing a Pikachu wondering threw the streets.

"Hey Melissa your shoes are untied," Misty said quickly.

"Man Misty your so dumb," Misty thought to herself. "She isn't even wearing tie shoes."

"Really," Melissa replied looking down as Misty made a mad dash for the Pikachu.

"Got you," Misty shouted as she grabbed the Pikachu.

"Mommy that mean girl stealing my Pikachu," a little girl shouted.

"Oh crap," Misty said as the Pikachu gave her a shock she wouldn't soon forget. Misty then fell to the ground coughing out a cloud of smoke. "This really sucks."

"They Misty why are you laying around," Melissa asked walking up to her. "What happened to the Pikachu?"

"It was the wrong one," Misty replied sitting up.

"Hey what are you two doing," a familiar voice asked.

"Looking for you," Misty said turning to see Alice who was holding a bunch of shopping bags with Pikachu sitting on her head.
