Misty and Keya lunged into a battle before Brock could even begin
explaining the rules. Shrugging, he just watched as the two girls took it
in turn to almost kill the other's pokemon. He frowned at their arrogant
use of pokemon. "Misty's not usually like this, what's happening to her?"
wondered Mia, biting her lip as she usually did when she was worried. Ash
just looked away.
The battle ended with both Chikorita and Poliwhirl in a faint. Returning their pokemon, Keya jeered, "Well, it seems that you, a gym leader, couldn't even beat me! Then again, if I lost to someone as pathetic as you, I'd never show my face in public again!" Mia stepped forward but Brock held her back, shaking his head. Misty lunged at Keya and they rolled into the river. There the current swept them away. Mia shook herself out of Brock's grasp and ran for it.
The two teens were still struggling in the water, not aware that they were being taken to a waterfall. Mia called out for Dratini. The two were still struggling when they finally heard someone call their names. They turned to see Mia pointing directly in front of them. Turning to where she was pointing at, they finally saw the waterfall. Keya screamed and Misty called for Starmie. Dratini pulled the still screaming Keya towards the bank.
Misty arrived at the bank but she couldn't get out. Mia tried to pull her out but it was no use. Backing off, she said, "Hold on for a bit, ok? I'm going to get Girafarig to pull you out," and called for Girafarig. Using its psychic abilities, Misty was pulled up from the water, coughing and spluttering. She looked up to see Ash running towards her with a towel and smiled weakly before falling into a faint.
After handing Misty over to Brock and Ash, Mia stepped onto the bank and searched. She wasn't all that worried about Keya but her poor Dratini! She didn't have to look very far to see her Dratini nearing the bank with a cheeky look on his face but Keya was nowhere to be seen. As if noticing her puzzlement, Dratini looked up into a tree. There on the highest branch was a screaming, kicking and, unfortunately, alive, Keya who was swearing at Dratini to no end. She seemed to have begun insulting Dratini while he was saving her and, in return, flung her to the safety of the highest branch on the nearest tree. Mia fell to the floor laughing and hugged Dratini till she was drenched herself.
Looking to Mia to see what was so funny, he spotted Keya in the tree again. He sighed to cover the laughter that was building up inside of him. Regaining control, he gently placed Misty into Brock's arms and went over to Mia. When she saw who was coming, she quickly took a photograph, making a mental note to show it to Misty when she was revived. Then, a bit grudgingly, she told Girafarig to let Keya down. When she saw her brother look away, she looked at Girafarig who had already let go of Keya. Smiling, she returned her pokemon and left to check up on Misty.
Keya groaned and slowly got up. Ash was handing her a towel which she gladly accepted, smiling her winning smile at him, not noticing it made him highly uncomfortable. She faked embarrassment and looked to the ground, ready to begin another one of her dramas but when she looked up, no one was there. Scanning her surroundings, she glared when she saw he was tending to Misty. Her glare changed to a smirk. She cried out in pain.
"My leg. . . I think its. . . its. . . broken or something," she said, pretending to wince at his touch and gave her eyes a watery effect. Ash frowned and looked at Mia. "I told you! For the last fucking time! Dratini and Girafargig would never hurt someone on purpose unless that person had hurt me!" she yelled, exasperated, "What am I supposed to do to get you to believe me? You're supposed to be my fucking brother! You're supposed to believe me! Just look at her, she's faking it! You have to be as blind as a bat to not know she's faking it!" she yelled, choking back tears before storming away. Ash sighed and lifted Keya. There was a pokemon centre near here. They'd probably let her rest there while Ash went to fetch a doctor.
The day's mishaps were finally over, the doctor had given her a check up and assured her she only had a light cold but Misty had a raging fever. Ash frowned and mentally whacked himself across the head for forgetting Misty's frail health status. The doctor treated Misty and gave Brock the medicine she'd need. Sighing, Ash was slowly slipping into bed when Misty walked in. She was supposed to be in bed. He raised an eyebrow at Brock who'd been following her around. He was about to ask why they were there when she realised Brock and Misty had worried faces. Frowning he heard Misty yell, "Mia! She. . . she's. . . gone. . . looked. . . all. . . pokecentre. . . can't find. . ." Ash detected a note of raspiness in Misty's voice but the message was more important. He glanced at Mia's untouched bunk, her backpack was missing. Running out of the pokemon centre, he called out. "Mia!" he yelled and sunk to his knees in the rain. Misty closed her eyes and wept, praying that Mia would be safe. Brock stood still as a statue, not believing what was happening, and Keya smirked in the darkness before returning to the warmth of the pokecentre.
Misty eventually coaxed Ash back into the pokecentre where Keya pushed her out of the spotlight and began caring for Ash. Misty was about to start another row when she began coughing and Brock made her go to bed instead. She resisted for a while but gave in eventually. Looking back at Ash for the last time, she sighed and let Brock lead her to her bed.
