The next day, they were beginning their new journey with a new companion.
Gary had decided it was best for him to stay with them, they all seemed so
lost in themselves. Misty showed no signs of any problem she might have to
deal with any of this until Ash's name was mentioned or anything else
related to that topic. Brock was fine, technically, but he seemed more
worried than usual and his interest in girls seemed to have dropped a few
notches. Mia was the exact opposite of Misty. If anyone so much as hinted
on her kindness, she'd fly into a rage or remain deadly quiet. If it was
just a normal comment on her brother, however, she was oddly calm. He was
just as worried as Brock though he didn't show it. He'd noticed what the
others hadn't. At nigh, Mia would cry herself to sleep. He'd asked her
about it but she flew into a rage, shutting him up.
Gary sighed and shook his head, they all looked like a shadow of themselves, "Guys, let's take a break," he said. They nodded and took a rest by a riverbank. Misty visibly relaxed at the sight of water and her pokemon, holding Togepi in her lap while lying against a tree. Brock took place next to her, getting ready to fix up a small snack. Mia let her pokemon out as well but, as if they felt her pain, they all remained securely around her, as if they wanted to protect her from whatever was bothering her. Gary sat between Misty and Mia or rather, Mia's pokemon.
"So where to, Brock?" asked Gary casually. Mia had eventually let Brock handle the map after he'd pointed out it was he who'd taught her how to navigate in the first place. "Shopping," he replied simply. Taking in Gary's quizzical look, he added, "One of the largest malls around." Misty and Mia jumped with joy until Gary asked whether they thought they could afford a shopping spree. He was surprised when they nodded. Mia rolled her eyes, "Come on, don't tell me you thought I spent all my money as soon as I got it. My bank account's not too bad and I've got plenty of cash at hand." Misty blinked, "You're 11. You have a bank account?" she asked, puzzled. Mia shrugged, "Mum," she explained. That was all the answer they needed.
Ash woke up with a headache the next day. He'd gotten drunk and now had a hangover. He slowly got out of bed and splashed cold water on his face, trying to remember how many girls had come up to him, how many he'd kissed. He groaned at his carelessness. Keya had already gotten dressed and was perfecting her makeup in the room where only one bed was currently occupied. Two had left and the other had decided to sleep with a fellow bunker. Joy.
He slowly combed his hair and took a shower after noticing he wasn't clothed in the first place. Something kept nagging at him, especially the last few words Gary had said when he walked away. He felt sick. He couldn't believe he'd . . . He truly did love Misty, but the shock of Keya's words . . . He frowned and mentaly slapped himself. What did his sister have to do with Misty? Though his anger at his sister, he had hurt the person he truly loved. He had to make it right somehow. He decided he'd go on the same route his ex-companions were taking. Not only that, he vowed to win back Misty and stay faithful to her forever more. But how to break it to Keya . . .
Keya sighed with satisfaction. She'd gotten what she wanted without force and still had it, which was a change. She was beginning to get sick of one night stands and spiking guys' drinks to get what she wanted. Having someone go willingly and continuously was a definite change to her usual lifestyle. But she still had some unsettled business to finish. She'd gotten Ash, but not her revenge. She also wanted them to suffer, to know that she'd finally beaten them. Of course, Gary was another approach altogether. He seemed almost untouchable. It would certainly be a challenge she was up for.
She smirked, "Ash! I really don't want to separate you from your friends, let's go on the same route they're travelling!" she called out sweetly, taking Ash by surprise. "Sure!" he replied, now convinced that Keya was a loving girl who always acted in the best interest of others. All the rest began to happen while Mia was around. Maybe Mia triggered something inside Keya which lead to her anger? Most likely, he hadn't seen his sister for half a year and she'd become a stranger. He shook his head; he'd fix his sister later. First he had to prove to the others Keya was innocent.
Misty had gone swimming, leaving the three alone once again to talk freely about Ash. "I'm surprised at Ash's behaviour," remarked Gary, "He was one I'd bet wouldn't easily give up his virginity, especially not to a slut." Mia's closed eyes fluttered half open, "Who said he was a virgin to begin with?" she asked casually, making both Brock and Gary stare at her. She shrugged in response, "I have plenty of friends who are willing to kiss and tell, in this case, fuck and tell. It was horrible, imagine hearing your friend did it with you brother!" she said and shivered. When they still looked at her in disbelief, she rolled her eyes, "Oh please, he didn't see Misty for two whole years, what did you expect?" she asked.
Brock and Gary blinked at her blankly before the information settled into their mind. "Whoa, Ash lost his virginity at 13 to an 9yr old?" asked Gary. Mia resisted the urge to slap him across the head, "No, at 15 to a 14yr old. Not all my friends are my age, you know, I did jump a few classes so I was pretty well known around the school," she said, rolling her eyes. "Over achiever," muttered Gary. He received a swift kick for the comment. Brock shrugged, "Well, I suppose it's not that amazing if you think about it, but geeze, 15?" he asked in amazement. He shook his head, "Children these days are too risky," he murmured. Mia raised an eyebrow, "Girls were expected to give birth at 15 in the past! Give me a break," she said, which directed all Gary and Brock's attention to her. "You've done it before?" they asked in unison. Both received a black eye, "HELL NO!" she yelled before calmly returning to stroking her pokemon. Both went to retrieve and ice pack for their injuries.
((Yeah, If I were you, I wouldn't want to read this story either. The plot's gone way off and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Would anyone mind if I went and undo some of the chapters? I mean, I'm the authoress and all but this really isn't my kinda story. *Shrugz* That or wait till the 20th chapter (I've written it, haven't posted it). It's a bit of a dramatic change but if I don't change it now, I think I'll be the one to give up on it, not you.
Oh yeah, add 1 year to their ages, kay? I'm too lazy to go back and change the whole 18 chapters. Doesn't change much but then... some 15 year olds are kinda risky. *Cough cough* It happens. And don't even think that I mean myself cuz I'm 13! I mean... other people...))
