The next day, everyone rose as if last night had never happened except for
the few glances Ash and Misty gave to each other and Keya's gleaming red
eyes. Brock stayed unaware, trying to recapture the last moments of his
dream as they were only dreams, never to become reality, or so Ash and
Misty thought. Keya never bothered to know Brock for he wasn't important in
her set plans on Ash becoming her boyfriend. Misty wasn't either, till
lately.
Beginning their journey, Keya slipped in between Ash and Misty, holding Ash's arm and leaning on his shoulder. Chatting away happily, she noticed Misty looked a bit upset and put out, and smirked mentally. She was so busy trying to impress Ash she didn't realise he was acting very awkward and feeling highly uncomfortable. Then again, she never bothered to find out what someone was feeling.
Twice she tripped Misty over within an hour and twice Misty landed onto the ground. Keya just walked on faster, dragging Ash along with her in order for him to be unable to help her up. After helping Misty up for the second time, "Looks like you have some new competition," said Brock, amused by the trio of young teens he travelled with. "Oh shut up, Brock!" she muttered angrily, turning pink and making Brock smile widely and began walking. 'This is going to be one hell of a long trip,' thought Misty before groaning and started walking as well.
About a million bruises and cuts later, they reached their destination, the Coral Cay where they were to meet up with Ash's sister. She'd manage to travel by herself collecting eight gym badges in the Kanto league within six months and competed with the other trainers, coming 3rd. Then she, her brother and Gary all set out for the Jhoto league at the same time in hopes of competing against each other. Now she was to travel to the 8th Jhoto gym for the final badge with her brother and friends.
Walking closer to the Pokecentre, Ash spotted an all too familiar figure. Ash had returned to Pallet Town after the Kanto to help his sister train for her own journey. She'd gone through school in record timing, skipping grades 1 and 2. She'd been two years younger than everyone else in her grade but that didn't stop her from topping her classes. She'd spent a whole year devoted to helping Professor Oak before finally undergoing half a year's worth of training with her brother.
The 11 year old was a fair bit shorter than the four teens (all aged 14 except for Brock aged 18 and Keya aged 16) and had shoulder-length black hair tied into a ponytail, a pink ribbon for decoration. She was wearing jeans and a pink top. Her face was slightly hidden by a blue and white cap.
Turning around, she spotted Brock, Ash, Misty and. . . 'What's Keya doing here?' she thought. Dazed for a while, she was suddenly in a tight embrace with Misty, then Brock. "Ok, ok guys, you're suffocating me!" she said, laughing. Opening her eyes, she spotted her brother and the two hugged each other before Pikachu jumped onto her as if demanding attention. Letting go of her brother, she stroked the little yellow pokemon. "Hey Mia, how's it going?" asked Misty. "Great, thanks, you?" she asked in return. Misty let out a small smile and watched Ash from the corner of her eyes. He coughed. "Well. . . actually. . . " he began, "He lost to Gary again." Misty said smugly. Ash glared at her but she just poked her tongue out at him. Mia eyed those two suspiciously until the two teens yelled out "What?" in a bewildered voice, making Mia burst out laughing.
Arriving at a lake, they let their pokemon out for a rest. Ash had Pikachu, Bayleef, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Snorlax and Charizard with him. Misty had her Horsea back, her Poliwhirl, Psyduck, Seaking, Starmie and Togepi. Brock had Golbat, Onyx, Geodude, Vulpix and Pineco with him. Keya had her Persian, Butterfree, Chikorita, Squirtle, Oddish, and Natu. Mia had her Misdreavus, Girafarig, Pidgeot, Dratini, Espeon, and Ponyta.
The pokemon played in or near the water except for Vulpix, Keya's pokemon and Misdreavus who preferred to hang around Keya's head, making her really agitated. While they played, the humans talked. It had been ages since any of them had seen Mia. Brock was impressed at Mia's pokemon being in such good condition when she travelled alone. Pointing this out to Ash, Brock made Ash blush and yell at him to mind his own business. Feeling left out, Keya suddenly gave Ash a warm smile and suggested he go swimming with her. They all agreed before Keya could point out she had only invited Ash.
Only Mia noticed and cut Keya off from the others. "I've known you far longer than they have. I know you're up to no good. Watch out bitch 'cause I'm not letting you hurt Ash." She growled menacingly. Keya, though utterly pissed off, replied, "What on Earth are you talking about, Mia, darling? I'm only hanging around because I'm not a very good cook!" she said so sweetly Mia almost punched the living daylights out of her. As soon as Keya turned around Mia gestured her middle finger at her and stormed away to change into her swimming costume.
