Misty opened her eyes to see the wonderful sight of the sunlight filtering in through the trees and streaming through the cave entrance, sitting up and rubbing her eyes she noticed Ash's jacket slide off her shoulders. She looked at it slightly dazed wondering when he had lent her this, however she smiled, folded it up and placed it beside Ash, it was then that she noticed that she was not the only one awake.
"...Ohhh...good morning Brock, good morning Krystal," she said yawning.
"Morning Misty," Brock and Krystal said together.
"What are you doing up and about this early in the morning?" she asked, noticing that the sun was only just coming up over the horizon, and that Ash and Gary still remained sleeping.
"Well you see, Krystal and I had woken up around about the same time so we decided to go search for some firewood, which we found and now thanks to her Flareon, I can cook up some decent food for breakfast," Brock said looking up from the fire.
"I was just about to take my pokemon for a run, did you want to come while Brock cooks breakfast?" Krystal asked Misty.
"Nooo...this is to early, even for me," she said groaning and lying back down, "have fun and walk a few metres for me!" she called out, as she watched as Krystal and her Eevee evolutions left the cave.

"So, what's cooking?" Misty asked after finding she was incapable of going back to sleep not matter how hard she tried to.
"Well most of my supplies were ruined because of the storm, but, I did manage to make a decent stew," Brock told her.
"Smells good enough," Ash said sitting up from beside Misty.
"Oh, hey Ash, fancy seeing you up this early, the sun has only recently risen," Brock said tending to the stew.
"It has? Wow, it doesn't feel like it," he said looking out the cave mouth then back to Brock who was stirring the stew.
"Where's Pikachu gotten to?" Ash said, noticing his yellow pokemons absence.
"I think Pikachu went with Krystal, she's out walking with her Eevee evolutions," Misty told him, "oh and Ash, thanks for your jacket, I hope you weren't to cold with out it" she added quietly.

"Oh, its ok, don't worry, I was fine," Ash said before looking to the other side of the cave where only Gary now remained sleeping,
"Mmm had kind of hoped he had left after last night," Ash said, turning back to the others.
"That was so cruel what you did, what you BOTH did," Misty said glaring at both Ash and Brock.
"Hey don't get mad at me, I am, after all, cooking your breakfast, and lunch and then dinner after that," Brock said as he dished out stew for them.
"Yeh, and I'm..." Ash thought for a second, "well I'm Ash, from Pallet," he said laughing slightly and soon Misty and Brock were laughing.

"What's so funny in here?" Krystal asked walking in through the cave mouth, Eevee at her heels she had recalled her other pokemon.
"Hey Krystal, have a nice walk?" Misty asked, as she handed her a serving of Brocks stew.
"Yeh, its really nice outside," Krystal said, "Oh and Ash your Pikachu decided to come with us, sorry if we worried you," she added.
"Nah, its alright, Misty told me he had gone with you, anyway it probably did Pikachu some good, hey buddy," Ash said watching Pikachu and Togepi chow down some pokemon food Brock had given them.
"Pika pi!" Pikachu said looking up from the pokemon food and over to Ash.

"So when will we set off for the waterfalls again?" Misty asked kind of eager to get there after the idea Ash had given her of catching her very own Vaporeon.
"Well as soon as we're finished eating and Gary has woken up, I'm assuming he's going to follow us around for sometime now, if last night meant anything" Brock said.
"Yeh," Ash said thinking what it would be like to have Gary following them around. However, after last night, he figured it could be interesting, after all Krystal didn't know what happened and he didn't think Gary would want her to know.
"We will have to make a detour to the Pokemon Centre which is just a good walk out of this forest," Brock said, salvaging the remains of his food supply.

"That was delicious Brock," Krystal said after finishing her share of the stew, "where did you learn to cook like that?" She asked.
"Well I came from a big family and have been travelling around with Ash for along time so I get to try out a lot of new ideas," he told her as he finished packing his bag.
"Well what do you say, do we head for the Pokemon Centre now, or wait a little longer?" Misty asked grabbing her bag from beside the cave wall and gently placing Togepi in it.
"I say we had off now while the weathers still good," Ash commented as he stood up offering a hand to Misty, which she happily took.
"Well since that's settled, we'll head out, Krystal would you mind waking Gary?" Brock asked as he to picked up his bag.
"Can do," she replied.
