FLASHBACK:

(Misty's P.O.V)

"Ash!" I yelled. I ran to his weak body, that Team Rocket had just used a Solar Beam attack on! "Ash.." I cried. Tear now started forming in my ends. "Be okay..." This is all my fault, all mine. If I never got myself in that mess with Team Rocket, Ash would of never risked his life for me... I should be the one that had gotten hurt and now the love of my life might die because of me! Ash, can't die, he'll never know how I felt... ASH!!!! I looked at Ash's face. He was so pale. "Ash!" I touched his face and I started to cry even harder. My tears fell all over Ash's body. I looked at his lips. Oh, how long have I hoped that I would feel those lips upon mine, but that may not happen now. I looked up and there was Team Rocket. My saddness suddenly turned to anger. "You screwed up loser, this is all YOUR fault," I yelled. Then I grabbed a Poke Ball from my belt. "Go Kygore!" I yelled. "Use Ice Beam!"

Kygore did as I said and Team Rocket ended up blasting off.

My attension quickly turned back to Ash. I had to get him to a Hospital and fast. But would I get there in time. I recalled Kygore and I sent out Latios. Then I got up on his back and I took Ash's lifeless body and his Pikachu.

Pikachu was crying and I couldn't help but feel sad for Pikachu as well. "Pikachu... Ash will be alright," I tried to comfort Pikachu, but I knew that there was a good chance that I was wrong. Yes, for the first time I'll admit that I'm wrong.

Latios, being the great Pokemon that he was, got us to the hospital quickly. I put Ash on my back and I ran towards the automatic doors, that opened and I ran to the found desk. "I need help, my best friend is in bad shape," I yelled.

"Call down," A Nurse told me. "Now, just follow me and I'll take him to the emergancy room," I ran as fast as I could and then I let the Nurse take over. Another doctor had joined her and now all I could do was wait. Wait! I sat down on a couch and Pikachu sat near me. He had gotten sleepy and I let him fall alsleep. I started to pace back and forth the room. I was getting really very impatient. I was really worried about Ash! I just couldn't lose him. I have loved him for so long and if he died it would be all my fault! I wouldn't be able to go on.

"Misty Waterflower..." I heard a voice say. I looked up and there was a Nurse. She had a very serious look on her face.

"Yes.." I said blankly. Tears were still falling from my eyes and I probably looked a mess, but did I care? No! All I cared about was Ash!

"Um, I'm sorry but Ash Ketchum, we don't think he'll live the night, it's er unconiuous and we tried everything we could.. I'm so sorry.. but you may go see him.." The Nurse told me. I felt so upset and anger. My anger was towards myself but I let it out on the Nurse.

"What? Youguys didn't do a thing! You mean I'm going to lose Ash! I can't! I love him and if he dies it will be all my fault!!" I fell to the groud crying. I just couldn't control myself.

The Nurse helped me up. "I can see him right?" I asked, still crying.

The Nurse nodded and then I ran to the room. I slowly opened the door and I saw Ash's lifeless body lying down on the bed. There was an empty chair by the bed. I walked across the room and I sat down in the chair and I held Ash's hand and held it to my face. " Ash, it's me.. Misty," I said. Then I took a deep breath. "Please wake up.... please... I can't lose you Ash... your all I have. My sisters hate me and my parents died. Ash, please don't leave me... if you die, I know that it's my fault... all my fault... Ash, I know I have never told you this but the truth is Ash, I love you and if you die, I'll never love anyone again... never... Ash, I won't be able to go on without you..." I broke down even harder and I rubbed my eyes. "Ash, c'mon you have to fulfill your dream, you have to be here for Pikachu.. you have a mother who loves you dearly, you have me who loves you so much..." I broke down even harder. I looked around the room and I saw a phone. I decided to phone Ash's mother in Pallet Town. I picked it up and I dialed Ash's number.

"Hello?" A voice said. It was Ash's mother.

I broke down crying. "Mrs. Ketchum... it's Misty..." I cried.

"Oh Misty-dear, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ketchum automatically asked me.

"Ash is, Ash is hurt! He's in the hospital and his life is on the line.." I cried. I broke down.

"What? Why? Where are you too??" Mrs. Ketchum asked me.

"We're in the Virdian hopsital, please come.. and Ash is in room 77," I told Mrs. Ketchum.

"I'll be right there," Mrs. Ketchum said, and with that she hung up the phone.

My attension went abck to Ash. I held his hand again and I looked at his face. "Ash, I love you so much... don't go.. I can't lose you, I just can't," I told Ash. I let more tears fall from my eyes. They all fell on Ash's face. Then I heard a moan. Could it be? I opened my eyes and I looked down at Ash.

"Misty?" Ash said weakly.

"Ash," I exclaimed. "You're awake.."

"Misty... there's something I need to tell you before I go.." He Said. "I- I love you.."

"I love you too.." I said. 'Ash please don't leave me.." I started to cry hard now. Then I put my face closer to Ash's. "I can't go on without you, your the only one that I'll ever love.. I'll never love again..."

Then Ash slowly leift his head up and our lips emant. It turned into a passionate kiss but it was ended by the flat-line beep on Ash's machine.

"What? Nooooooo!!!" I cried. Then doctors came running in and I was pushed out of the way. I started to cry. I couldn't lose Ash. Then I seen Mr.s Ketchum come running in. She ran over to me crying. I hugged her and we just stood there in shock and crying. A doctor came over to us. "I'm sorry but Ash is gone...." he told us. I couldn't bare it, I ran out of the room and out of the hospital.

END FLASHBACK

4 Years Later...

(Normal P.O.V)

Misty Waterflower, was now twenty-one years old. She had a sucessful career. She was a nurse. She really loved her job but there was something about her that nobody could ever figure out. A saddness. Her boyfriend, Richie had asked her what was wrong and why wasn't she so into her relationship as he was. Misty would never tell him. She felt aweful for being in a relationship after she had promised Ash that she would never love again. Misty didn't really LOVE Richie like she loved Ash and if Ash was alive she would be with him in a heart-beat but he was gone now.

Misty sat down in her desk, waiting for he next patient. She opened her drawer and pulled out a picture of Ash. "Oh Ash, I'm sorry for breaking my promise to you... I should of never made that promise, whether you heard it or not..." She said. "But... you never heard it anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter.." Misty looked up at the clock and noticed her shift was over and she got ready to leave. Richie and her had a date tonight and she wanted to look nice. She had decided to be a better girlfriend to Richie and to stop being so distant. She knew it wasn't right or fair to treat Richie that way. Misty was finally ready to leave and she ran out to her red car. "Oh why can't I just get Ash out of my head? Why? Why? Why?" Misty cursed herself for always thinking about Ash. He always haunted her and her heart.

When Misty fianlly got home, she ran upstairs to get a nice hot shower and then she got out. Wearing her pink towel she walked to her room and she sat down and looked in her mirror. First, she blow-dried her hair and then she went over to her closet to pick out an outfit. She picked out a pair of inks pants and a black tank-top. After she put on her clothes, she did her hair up in curls and she put on a little make-up. Then she grabbed her purse and she ran downstairs. When she got to the bottom of the stair case she saw Rochie there. With a golden wrapped gift. "Hello Misty," he greeted her.

Misty ran into his arms and she hugged him. "Hey Richie," Then they kissed and Misty smiled as they parted. She looked into his blue eyes. "I love you," She said.

"I love you too," Richie said. Then he handed her the golden wrapped gift.

"Oh Richie, you shouldn't have... I don't deserve this.." Misty said.

"Yes you do, your the best girlfriend in the world and you have never done anything against me, you and I have no secrets from each other and I just love you so much," Richie said.

Misty smiled but deep inside she felt bad. She had a big secret from Richie and she wasn't planning on telling him. The whole thing with Ash had been bugging ehr and she really wanted to end what she had but Richie but he loved her so much and Misty just didn't have the heart to break Richie's heart. Misty slowly opened the gift. What she saw shocked her. It was a sliver necklace with a heart pendet. "Oh Richie, this is lovely!" Misty said hugging him and kissing him again.

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it," Richie said. "Now lets go out..."
