Hello people! This is the last chapter so I hope you've enjoyed reading this story as much as I have gotten frustrated with writer's block! Just kidding! I loved writing this story and getting feedback from you guys! Anyway it's dedication time!
Now this being the last chapter I'm dedicating it to my first reviewer
DarkSaiph- Thanks a lot! When I got your review I was so happy! You also helped me out a lot with the advice you gave!
Thanks to:
1) Everyone who reviewed!!!!!!! Thanks so much! You've all been a great help!
2) Story Weaver1- Well you asked why didn't Misty use her Pokemon against her sisters and step mother? Well she was too scared to because Rose also had pokemon and she didn't know if they were stronger or not and she didn't want to take the chance. But don't worry you'll see that play a part in this chapter!
3) mystery - I swear you got your review from 'Master of Disguise'! I love that movie! It's so funny!
I'm sorry to all those who got confused with the POV switching but I have to do it again this chapter! Okay now on with the story!
Disclaimer- It's true! I admit it! I don't own Pokemon!
Chapter 8 - Um...chapter 8? (I couldn't think of anything)
ASH'S POV
After trying to convince my mom that my small breakfast satisfied me, I rushed out the door with my trusty pokemon in hand. I took out the necklace and held it in my palm. Once again it started to glow dimly. I figured I would keep heading in my present direction. Soon I noticed the ruby's light grow stronger. 'I guess that means I'm heading in the right direction' I thought. I remembered Misty saying that she lived in Cerulean City and decided to head there.
I soon went through the forest seeing a few trainers along the way. When I reached to Cerulean City, the ruby was bright and somewhat tugging at me. I followed the tugging and I ended up at..........the Cerulean Gym?
MISTY'S POV
I looked over at the clock and saw half past two. I sighed, it had been three hours since I saw anyone. I really doubted that Rose would leave me there forever but then again, I've learned to expect the worst from her. I sighed again. Rose had taken all my pokemon when she came to give me lunch. At least if I had them I could've escaped but all she left me with was Togepi. (she still doesn't think Togepi can do anything) I looked at it's sleeping form on the bed.
I got up from the chair and walked over to my barred window. It looked out on the entrance to both the gym and the house and the view also contained the mountains in the background. I stared at a flock of birds gliding through the air. I pictured myself as one in their ranks, free to go wherever I wanted. I looked down toward the street, watching the passers-by and the poor trainers who Rose was telling off for coming. Soon she went back inside and another person came and stood in front of the gym. However this was no ordinary trainer, this was....Ash Ketchum?
ASH'S POV
I looked up at the building in front of me. The Cerulean City Gym. Misty lives in a gym? I shrugged it off and walked up to the door and was about to knock when a lady pushed it open. She looked to be in her forties with green eyes and purple hair with gray strands in random places.
"Get out of here the gym is closed!" She said without looking at me.
"I'm not here to battle." I responded.
She looked at me and shock registered on her face. "Y-y-you're th-th-the Po-pokem-mon m-m-m-master!! You're Ash Ketchum!" She yelled.
"Thats's right and I'm here to see-"
"My step-daughter right?" She cut me off.
I supposed that Misty would be her step-daughter because they looked nothing alike. "Uh...yeah....I guess" I replied.
"Follow me." She said and led me across the street to a house I guessed was hers. So Misty lived opposite the gym! I should've known that you could not live in a gym! I chuckled slightly at my idiocy.
"Please wait right here." She said smiling and entered the house. I waited, like she siad, for a few minutes before she came out with a girl and left.
"I knew I impressed you Mr. Ketchum." She said giggling slightly.
I stared at her for a little while. "Um, who are you?" I asked.
She looked offended. "I think if you're going to look for someone you should at least remember their name!" She fumed.
"I do remember her name and face. She has red hair, blue green eyes and her name's Misty." I said matter-of-factly.
She winced as I said the name. "You pig!" She screamed and ran inside, slamming the door behind her. I stared at the door and knocked awkwardly. The door didn't open. I knocked again. It still didn't open. I was becoming a bit agitated. I knocked once again and once again the door didn't open. "If you don't open this door I'm going to knock it down!" I shouted in anger. The door still didn't move. "Fine! Go Tauros!" I shouted then threw the pokeball. A white light was emitted and formed the bull pokemon.
MISTY'S POV
'Oh no' I thought as I saw the Tauros appear. "Oh no oh no oh no" I whispered under my breathe. I turned from my window and noticed that Togepi had awoken "Prrii!" It said. I grinned for a second before regaining my worried composure. "BAM!" 'There goes the door' I thought. "AAAHH!!" I heard my sisters scream. "Horsea!" Oh no! They're going to battle?! They can't win with Horsea!
I had to get down there before something bad happened! But how? I ran to the door and desperately tried to open it but it wouldn't budge! I gave an exasperated sigh and sat on my bed listening to Togepi mumble incoherently. I hugged Togepi and after a while a warm sensation surged through my body and I couldn't see anything but white.
ASH'S POV
"Horsea!" Said the little creature. These girls definitely didn't know anything about pokemon so how were they the gym leaders? "Horsea tackle!" The blonde girl shouted. The seahorse slowly made it's way up to my bull and hit it. My Tauros barely flinched. I decided to go easy on them so I told Tauros to use a light tackle attack however that knocked out the poor pokemon. They then sent out a Starmie which refused to listen. They were pathetic. "Tauros, hea--" I was cut short by a white light that appeared between me and the Starmie. The light soon cleared and there stood Misty with a Togepi in her arms!
MISTY'S POV
I appeared downstairs with my sisters on my right and Ash on my left. Rose ran up to me and said, "Oh Misty thank Ho-oh (God? Get it?) you came to save us!" I turned to her, "Get away from me!" I shouted, finally fed up with Rose. "Hey Mist, I'm so happy I found you." Ash said walking toward me. I turned and glared at him. He froze under my stare and I said to him, "You stay away from me too!" I had finally cracked. They both stared at me disbelievingly. "I mean it" I said with a sharp edge to my voice.
The doorbell rang and I went to see who was there. I opened the door and there stood Melody for the second time that day. I invited her inside and led her to the living room where rose and Ash were glaring daggers at each other. They both looked up when we entered. There was something I wanted to know. I sat down, turned to Ash and asked, "What are you doing here Ash?"
"Looking for you."
"But I thought you had a girlfriend. May?"
"Nope! May is only a friend and she was there because her father is a gym leader! Now answer me this. Who are they?"
"Well These are my sister and this is my stepmother Rose. And I am the Gym leader of the Cerulean City Gym." I then told him why I had come to his party as Melody's guest and not on my own. As I told the story Rose got more and more infuriated and she stood up unsuspectedly and sent out her Hitmontop. On instinct Ash sent out his Pikachu, I sent out my Staryu and Melody sent out Golduck. Needless to say the match was over within five minutes and Rose and my sisters were sent running out of the gym.
I watched them run from the doorway then turned around to see Ash and Melody standing behind me. I offered them to stay for dinner and we all prepared it together.
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay so what do ya'll think? Review please! I hope the ending isn't as corny as I think it is. Well sorry for the long update but I had major writer's block! Tell me if you guys want an epilogue cause if you do then I already have the gist of it but if you've had enough of this story for life then go right ahead and say that! I'll mention everyone who reviewed in the next chapter with or without an epilogue. Ciao! (chow)
