A/N: Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews that I got so quickly. This is my fastest update ever, mostly because I don't have a life outside of the Internet and school and since school is very laid back now I've had more Internet time. Hooray Internet!! I hope everyone likes this chapter too, I tried to add in everything you guys wanted like Team Rocket and the Pewter City thing. I was just going to have those as scapegoats so that I didn't have to focus on those people, but now that I have written about them I like it. I hope to keep them a subplot and add a few paragraphs about them each chapter. Okay well I don't have a list of everyone who reviewed in front of me so I'll thank you all in the next chapter. Okay well let's not get ahead of ourselves first you have to R&R Chapter 2 so here it is. Oh and sorry for in the first part the thing about energy bars, you'll see, I just didn't know what else to write. Oh well.
K the C
Chapter 2:
Mayhem on the Mountain
Snow, once again, began to fall on the top of the mountain; the white flakes of frozen water slowly drifted downward to the ground where they would land, unnoticed never to be seen again. The white flakes melted quickly as they neared a fire on the ground. An eighteen year-old black- haired boy attended this fire; he sat crouched down next to it with a frying pan in his hand. A redheaded girl lie in a starred sleeping bag several feet from the fire. The girl's nose began to twitch as snow fell onto it. Her hands came out of her sleeping bag as she stretched and yawned. She rubbed her nose and then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and sniffed the air.
"Ugh! What is that horrible smell?!" Misty said sitting up and holding her nose. "It smells like deep fried garbage!" "Err, he he," Ash chuckled. "I thought I'd try and make some breakfast for us. But, err well.." He held which had a smoldering piece of burnt, well of burnt something that was now unrecognizable. "It was toast at one point."
"Heavy on the was!" Misty said laughingly. "I think I'm just gonna' have an energy bar."
"Nice choice." Ash said. He looked at the frying pan. "I think I'm gonna' join you." He said scraping the blackness off of the frying pan. Misty dug into her backpack for a bar while Ash got up to do the same in his. He pulled one out just before Misty spoke.
"Oh no!" Misty shrieked. "I gave Togepi my last energy bar yesterday morning so it would stop falling asleep!'
"No biggie." Ash said. "You can have one of mine." Ash said tossing her the one he had in his hand. "I'll get another from my bag.
"Thanks." Misty said unwrapping and taking a bite out of the energy bar. She took a few more bites and finished it off. "Ah." She said. "I feel totally energized!" She said brandishing her muscles and winking at Ash. She noticed he was frowning. "Ash, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh nothing just," she waved her arms in a circle to urge him on. "I forgot that that was my last energy bar." He said frowning but forcing a laugh. He put his hand behind his head in the way that only he could.
"Oh my gosh Ash! I'm sorry I-I didn't realize it was-oh-Ash I'm so sorry." She reiterated.
"No it's okay. I'll just have a big lunch." Ash said.
'Jeese!' Misty thought. 'He gives me his jacket and how do I repay him? By eating his last energy bar. Man at this rate Ash will never.. No, forget that he would never do that anyway it's just I.. Oh forget it!'
"Okay well we better get going Mist'. We should be able to make it to the next mountain by tonight if nothing goes wrong."
"Right, okay let's go." Misty said. And with that they were off. They walked off after backing up their campsite. The two teens walked on for hours just making small talk, looking at wild Pokemon, and just walking along in silence. Misty kept taking glances at Ash like she always did but he never caught her. She was glad because she wouldn't have any idea what to do if he did catch her. It was while looking at the wild Pokemon that Misty got an idea. She waited until she spotted one of the newly discovered Pokemon to act. The first one she saw was a Swinub. Then her plan started.
"Hey Ash look at that!" She yelled pointing towards the Swinub.
"Oh wow! A Swinub!" Ash said whipping out Dexter. He pointed at the Pokemon and it said 'Swinub- The pig Pokemon. If it smells something enticing, it dashes headlong off to find the source of the aroma.'
"Thanks Mist'!" Ash proclaimed. "That added another page to my Pokedex. Let's see that's. Whoa! 229 Pokemon seen. That's almost all of them!"
"No Ash! It's just that we're in Johto now! Swinubs are from Kanto!" Misty said.
Ash paused a minute and thought. "Wow," he said. "That little guy sure is lost!"
Misty fell over and her leg hung up in the air (you know the way.) She got up. "No Ash." She said. "The environment has changed so that it can live here." She glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "It just shows you how relationships," she emphasized that word, "can change over time. She galnced at him and saw he had a slight smile on his face.
"Relationships, eh Mist'?" He said, understanding her now. Her faced blushed and she looked away. "Are you saying, what I think you're saying?"
Meanwhile less than a mile outside of Pewter City a Pidgeot was being signaled down by two officials in suits. The bird obeyed and landed carefully as to not drop the people riding on his back. The bird landed right next to the officials and its passengers hopped off. There in front of Brock and Pikachu were none other than the dynamic duo, Jesse and James. Brock reached for his Pokeballs but then realized that he had given them to Ash and that Jesse and James were on their side now.
"Brock." Jesse said. "Long time no see. So I suspect you received the letter that Officer Jenny sent you?"
"Yes, I did." Brock said. "It's kind of a shock, you know, the three of us working together."
"Yes it is." James said. "But we can remember the good old days later. For now we have people to save."
"James is right. Let's get going." Jesse said. "Follow me." She walked into a medical tent, quickly followed by James, Pikachu, and Brock.
"At last!" A red-haired nurse said. "We've been waiting forever for the healthy Pikachu and the breeder to arrive!" Said Nurse Joy.
"You're the Nurse Joy from Saffron." Brock said. "What are you doing here?"
"All of us Nurse Joys cam here once we heard about the tragedy." She said. "They need us since the Nurse Joy from this town is in quarantine!"
"Brock! Pikachu! Come here," James said. "This is a decontamination shower, you need you need to be sterilized before you can help us fight this virus. After you come out we'll answer all the questions you have and you may be able to see your family. But first," he pointed towards the shower, "hop in."
Back on the mountain's top Ash and Misty's conversation continued.
"That depends." Misty said coyly. "What do you think I meeeeaaaannnnnnnn!!!" She screamed as she slipped on the ice and towards the edge of the cliff.
"Misty!" Ash screamed but she didn't hear him as she slid over the edge of the cliff.
