Ok I reposted this chapter and fixed it. I don't own Pokemon And if you keep on reading this story...it does get better. I promise!

Well here it is.....
The Balance of Powers Chapter One.

"Well, our 5th anniversary date since he and I meet is today, Togepi." said a young girl with flowing red hair.

She was a tomboy when she was younger, but now she's developed, and guys turn their heads to see her all the time now. She has been on some dates and has had boyfriends. But now she is ready for a true boyfriend. She doesn't want anyone else but the boy she's been with for over five years.

"Togepi, what should I wear tonight for my date?" Misty asked her cute egg- shaped pokemon.

"Priiiiiiiiiiii" it replied.

"Really Togepi, which one? The yellow one or the blue one? Either way Togepi, they are both beautiful dresses." She asked her one more time.

"Togeeeeepriiiiii." Her baby Pokemon said as she points to a long, slim and beautiful blue dress with flower patterned jewels starting from the top to the bottom.

"Good choice. I was thinking that exact same thought. Well, I should get ready. I have a lot to do. You know, get my nails painted, my hair brushed and styled, and find those shoes that will match this dress perfectly." She said to Togepi.

Misty was concerned that she wouldn't be able to find the perfect jewelry or shoes to match the blue dress she'd bought with her birthday money from her friends. Last month she turned sixteen and decided to go shopping. Well, that day she found the most gorgeous blue dress. It was a cerulean blue with a ruffles flowing at the end. It was strapless and starting at the top and getting larger at the bottom were beautiful flowers made of all kinds of beads. This was the dress that screamed out to her "first formal date with Ash."

Well, today is Ash's birthday and also the day Misty, Pikachu, and Ash met. July seventh will be the best day of her life because tonight she will tell Ash how she's felt about him since they first met. Tonight goes as planned:

1. Go out for dinner at Le Rose

2. After dinner go to the Cape

3. Watch the Sunset where there is an eclipse.

"Tonight is going to be the best. Isn't Togepi?" Misty replied while changing into her dress.

"Togeeeeeeeepriiiiiiii" said Togepi while nodding.

Misty came out with her dress on and some shoes that she thinks might match and some jewelry that Ash gave her for her birthday. A beautiful necklace with a huge blue rose in the middle and some earrings that dropped down. It was the latest fashion blaze for young girls dating (even though Ash didn't know about that part).

"Togeee...." Togepi said as she looked at her mother/trainer in awe.

"So you like it? Good. This is perfect then!" Misty sat on the bed in her room and took off her shoes. "Man! These shoes hurt. I'm going to go try on the others. Be right back." She said as she got up from her bed and walked to her large closet.

Else where ....

"Brock! I don't know why I even agreed with Misty to go that stupid restaurant." Ash said as he was trying on a suit.

"Listen Ash, don't you get it. Misty and you are going on a FORMAL date. Remember you agreed with her after she beat you in Street Fighters video arcade game." Brock said as he was attempting to help Ash craft his tie.

All this amused Brock a lot. He knew what this date was meant for the whole time. Misty was going to finally hook up with Ash or something like that. And Ash....how dense can a person get? He knows he likes Misty, but he is just too afraid of rejection from her that he won't tell. But after this date that should change.

"Look Brock," he said as he moved away from Brock to fix his own tie, "I know I agreed to go on this 'rendezvous' with Misty, but I didn't intend this to be a date. I don't even like her like her!" Ash continued saying.

"That is bullshit Ash! You do to like her. And if you don't go on this date with her you know what will happen?" Brock exclaimed.

"What will happen then Brock? Tell me then since you seem to know everything about girls yet have never actually had one?" Ash said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

"Look Ash, if you don't want my help just tell me. I'll leave you to do your own mistakes. But if you do miss this date with Misty, you will be sorry. And I'll be sorry for you. Besides, I myself have a date tonight with Officer Jenny's daughter... Jenny. I've got to go anyway. Bye Ash. I hope you do go tonight. Oh yeah, your gift will be coming from me at seven sharp. Hope you like it." Brock said as he was exiting the hotel room.

"What nerve of Brock to tell me what to do and what not to do! He treats me like I'm still a 10 year old!" Ash yelled in the room to no one in particular.

"Pikachuuuuuuuu" His yellow electric mouse said.

"WHAT! You agree with him?! Come on Pikachu....Brock is way wrong about how I feel about Misty." He said to Pikachu, who was now eating some ketchup.

"Pika Pi. Pika chu piiiii chu." Pikachu said while still eating the ketchup.

"I know Pikachu. I just am a little scared. Even if it was her idea for this date, I'm still worried that she'll reject me like she did with Rudy and dare I say it.....Gary." as Ash said Gary's name he was sent chills up his spine. Even though Misty only dated Gary for a month or so...it was still the worst time of his life. Just as bad or even worse then him losing a Pokemon battle was how he felt about Misty and Gary being together. Misty was everything to him, but every time he wanted to tell her how much he cared her, something would come up and he'd forget.

"Look, I just don't know what to do. I'll go on the date tonight, but should I tell her how I really feel about her. She's been there for me almost all of my life, well not my whole life but a big chunk of it, and never once did I tell her how much I want her or rather, need her." Ash spoke to Pikachu and trying to make the stupid tie work.

"Pika pi." He said in reply. Pikachu also loved Misty. She was always his Pika-Pal and he also knew how Misty felt about Ash. He knew something was going to happen tonight whether it is good or bad. Due to the fact that Ash had an Espeon, Pikachu knew of that.

"Well, I guess I will then. I just hope she feels the same way about me." Ash said hopefully.
