However, also...it will not stay that way. I am on Chapter 7, and I have every intention of finishing this fic, even if it kills me. Good day.
I dont own Poke'mon either! (cries again) but I do own a few made up characters in this story. Enjoy.
To melt the Heart of a Champion
Chapter 6- The real arrival
Misty looked out to sea, as she saw the ship draw closer and closer to the dock. Her heartbeat
beating faster and faster with anticipation. She would finally see Ash and Brock again.
As well as her other two friends, May and Max. Misty started biting her lip, and tapping her
left foot on the ground quickly.
"Come on! Cant this rusty boat go any faster!" Misty said with a look of anger on her face.
This was the kind of look that said "Look out, you are gonna be in a world of hurt". Misty
started tapping her foot faster and faster until...
"Excuse me everyone, we have now docked at Ever Grande City. Please disembark safely and carefully. Have a nice day".
"Yes! I'm here!" Misty yelled out excitedly, as she immediately ran to the dock of Ever Grande.
Misty looked around and to her confusion, did not see any city. There was nothing, but trees,
grass, and flowers galore. She stood for a minute, looking for something to point out a town,
when she spotted something.
"Hmmm. Hey! Maybe there's a city over there!" Misty said happily, seeing a satalite dish on the roof of a house. Misty quickly started running through the forest, ignoring everything around her except getting to the city. She ran faster and faster through the woods and ran right into the middle of a dirt road. She stopped dead in the road and looked around at her surroundings. She saw a very large city, much like Celadon City.
Celadon City was a very large city that Ash, Misty, and Brock had visited so Ash could get another badge in the Kanto region. Misty had remembered that Ash left them after getting yelled at by Erika and the other employees at a perfume shop. Misty then remembered something else she had forgotten about and slipped, not knowing that Ash had disguised himself as a girl, so he could get into the gym. She remembered she had listened to a story that Erika was telling Misty, Brock, and a bunch of other girls, including Ash.
"I wish Ash could've heard that story" Misty had said. To her surprise the new girl had replied with a "I heard it". After getting shocked by Pikachu, Ash battled Erika and received a Rainbow badge. This city seemed to remind Misty alot of Celadon.
"Well, I guess I should go to the Poke'mon center and see if Ash is there!" Misty said, grabbing
her red bag around her shoulder tightly and started running looking for the Ever Grande Poke'mon
center. After 10 minutes of running around, Misty had become very tired and lost. She couldn't
find the Poke'mon center anywhere. Misty decided to ask someone for directions. She saw a young
man about Ash's age walking around. He had a grayness to his hair and wore a bandanna around his
head, which had a white poke'ball on it. He was dressed with black clothes, and had red outlinings,
which covered his whole body.
"Excuse me!" Misty yelled, running over to the man, panting with her head down.
"Can I help you with something?" the young man asked.
"Yeah, I need direc...tions. I need...to get to the Poke'mon center".
"Oh, well this must be your first time here then. See those two silver buildings over there?
Go past those two buildings, and behind them is the Poke'mon center. It's pretty well hidden, so
keep an eye out" the young man said, pointing towards the buildings he described.
"Thank you. Well, see ya!" Misty said, running off once again.
The boy looked confused and smiled. Then he turned around and looked at a piece of paper. It was a bracket to show who he would be fighting in the Hoenn league. He took out a pen and check marked something, then stuffed the paper and pen into his brown backpack, and continued walking.
Misty was finally getting some progress. She had passed the two building and had gone behind them.
She could see the Poke'mon center now. It was probably no further than a mile away.
"There it is!" Misty yelled out happily, as she now started skipping. She then stopped for a minute,
noticing a big cloud of dirt coming towards her quickly. She started at it to see if there was
anything, or anyone causing it. It started to come into view, and it was racing faster as it
drew closer and closer to Misty.
"ASH!" Misty yelled, surprised to see him racing at her. Ash didnt stop or slow down though. His
eyes were closed, and he seemed to be running away from death, itself. Ash then ran smack right into
Misty, knocking her down to the ground, and they started rolling across the ground furiously. They
kept summersaulting forward, until Ash was face forward on top of Misty. He was positioned on her,
shaping their bodies into a cross. Misty, dazed, got up and saw Ash with his face in the dirt.
She saw another person running towards them, which immediately snapped Ash into reality.
"May?" Misty yelled confused. May was almost up to where Misty and Ash were. May was running towards them with a giant yellow mallet. She suddenly stopped at Misty's feet and waved.
"Hi Misty. Long time, no see" she said, as if nothing was happening. Misty could see something had happened apparently.
"Hi May, eh heh heh" misty said, nervously, also waving back.
"Ma, May, wait. I'm sorry. Wont happen again. I didnt even see anything, I swear!" Ash yelled,
standing up, shaking his hands at May.
"Yeah, right!" May said, raising her mallet. Misty then stood between the two, holding her arms out in front of May.
"Ummm, whats going on here?" Misty asked, curious to know.
"Oh, well this young man was peeking where he shouldnt be peeking!" May yelled furiously at Ash, putting down her mallet.
"No, I wasnt! I just came in to get my poke'balls, and I accidently saw you dipping your foot in the bathtub water! I didnt see ANYTHING! I swear!" Ash said, trying to convince her.
"Huh?" Misty said in confusion.
"Lemme explain" May said, shooting a look of disgust at Ash.
Misty and May stepped away from Ash a little as May started whispering to Misty about what happened.
Misty just laughed and shook her right hand.
"Heh heh. That reminds of something similar that happened to me and Ash too" Misty said,
sweatdropping.
"That kind of thing also happened to me, but dont worry. Ash isnt like that" Misty said, also trying
to convince her.
"Well, if you say so. So what are you doing back here Misty?" May asked happily, throwing her mallet aside.
"My sister, Daisy, forced me onto a ship leaving to Ever Grande City, so I didnt complain. I got on and here I am!" Misty said, now smiling.
"Thats great Misty!" Ash said, now coming out from behind Misty, smiling and giving her a short hug. They parted and headed to the Poke'mon center.
"Hey Brock!" Ash called out to Brock. "Look who we found!" Ash said, pointing behind him, with his thumb.
"Misty! Good to see you!" Brock said, running over to Misty, shaking her hand happily.
"So, now the team's all here!" Ash said, giving the peace sign to Misty.
After meeting up and exchanging some stories, including Misty's story of Daisy and her own Luvdiscs. Ash asked excitedly if he could see it. Misty released the Poke'mon from its ball and the little pink, heart shaped Poke'mon looked around and saw Ash. After seeing Ash, it hopped happily towards Ash, rubbing against Ash's leg. The Luvdisc then turned around and looked at Misty as it kept calling out its name, seeming like it was asking Misty a question. Misty just stared, almost frightened and returned the little Poke'mon to its ball. Ash was confused but didnt pay any attention to it. Brock wasnt fooled though. Ash and the rest of the gang then decideed to take a break and go down to the beach for some fun.
"Pikachu! Ready to go have some fun buddy?" Ash asked his yellow companion, who as always, was sitting on his favorite spot on Ash's shoulder.
"Pi pikachu!" Pikachu cried, raising his arm. Pikachu jumped down from Ash;s shoulder and started running towards the ocean quickly.
"Wait Pikachu!" Ash yelled out. "We have to get swimwear and some boards Pikachu". Pikachu turned around back to its master, and started scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Dont worry Pikachu, we'll be ready in a minute. Come on buddy" Ash told Pikachu, signaling for him to jump back onto his shoulder. Pikachu did so and they headed to the bathrooms.
Ash came out wearing a simple pair of trunks which were dark blue, and no shirt. Brock came out from behind him, who was also not wearing a shirt, wearing a simple pair of trunks too, which were orange with white outlining on the top of the trunks. Max came out from behind them, who was wearing a white t-shirt, and green trunks.
"Where's May?" Max asked.
"I'm sure she's still getting ready" Brock assured Max.
"Yeah, thats true. She usually always takes a while" Max replied, agreeing with Brock.
Sure enough, after a few more minutes of waiting, May came out of the girl's bathroom, wearing a two piece bikini, which was green, and has white outlining. May was holding open the door for Misty, who walked out wearing a two piece as well, which was orange and had bubbles imprinted into it.
"You guys ready to go have some fun?" Ash asked everybody.
"Yeah!" everyone replied, as they all started heading towards the beach excitedly, Pikachu ahead of everyone else.
They all ran into the water, splashing and soaking each other with the salty water of the sea.
"Well, I'll go get us some surf boards" Brock said to Ash.
"Alright, we'll see ya in a little bit" Ash replied, dunking Pikachu.
"Pikaaa" Pikachu said as Ash saw him starting to charge a thunderbolt.
"No Pikachu! Not here!" Ash said frightened.
"Pikaaa" Pikachu said sadly, getting its head above water to look at Ash.
"Sorry buddy" Ash said, petting his pal's head.
"What, only four boards left?" Brock asked the clerk.
"I'm sorry dude, but I'm afraid thats all thats left" the clerk said to Brock.
"Don..." Brock stopped for a second to actually think this through. "Aha!" Brock said suddenly,
a smile on his face now. "Four is fine" Brock said.
"Okay, dude, that'll be $20" the clerk said to Brock. Brock handed the clerk $20 and walked out the door with four boards in his arms.
"Hope this works" Brock muttered to himself.
