It has been a year since Ash and Misty started going out. May and Max left back to there house, leaving Ash, Misty, and Brock traveling the world without them.

"We have been walking for five hours where is this town Brock? I thought you said this was a shortcut to Megalington. "Ash said sounding sad.

"Well that's what the map say's. I don't get it we should have been there by now." Brock sounding confused.

"Let me see that map! Misty demanded as she grabbed the map from Brock. She looked at it for about a second and said Brock you idiot."

"What did I do? I know everything about maps, and direction." Brock said sounding proud and sure.

"That might be true. If the map is not upside down!" Misty yelled.

"Oh my bad." Brock started laughing.

"You wont be happy for long." Misty said as she punched Brock in the head.

"Calm down Misty, it's just a little out of the way." Ash said.

"Calm down, we walked five hours in the wrong direction!" Misty yelled.

"Not really, we can make it to Megalinton by tomorrow if we keep following this road. Unless you want to go back we wont make it there for two days." Brock said optimistically.

"Are you sure this time Brock? Because if you think Misty's mad now, nothing could compare to how mad she will be if you are wrong twice." Ash whispered.

"Are you saying I have a temper problem? BECAUSE I DON'T"! Misty yelled.

"Well lets get going. We need to leave now if we want to make it there tomorrow. /T Brock said.

Later that night they finally made it to Megalington. They were shocked at how big the town was. The first thing they need to do was find a hotel.

"Well where do you want to stay? There are only a hundred hotels." Ash said laughing.

"We should try to find a cheap one. So we can save money." Brock said.

Misty started saying "I am so hungry lets eat before we look for a place to stay."

"Where to eat, where to eat?" Ash repeated.

"I don't care. As long as I get food." Misty said unhappily.

"Lets just eat here." Ash said.

After they all ordered, Misty wondered if her next question to Ash would get him sad. But she decided to ask the question anyway.

"Ummm... Ash what happened to your dad? I mean did your mom and dad get divorced? Misty asked.

Ash got a serious look on his face and said "no he was killed."

Misty felt bad for asking. And said "sorry Ash. How did it happen?"

Ash got a tear in his eye and said "I don't know I was just a baby when it happened. And all my mom would ever tell me was" "he loved you."

Misty and Brock looked at each other with sad expressions on there face.

To try and make things happier Brock said "oh here comes the food, it looks great."

"Can I get you anything else?" Asked the waitress.

Brock smiled and said "how about a date?"

After that Brock was thrown out. Leaving Ash and Misty alone.

"I am really sorry about that Ash. I would never do anything to hurt you. I should of just kept my mouth shut." Misty said sadly.

"No Misty it's ok. You would have found out anyway it was just a madder of time." Ash said trying to sound happier.

"So you don't know who did it?" Misty asked.

"Nope, I wish I did. Because if I did they would wish they were dead." Ash said making a fist.

Ash started getting very angry. When he picked up his glass of soda Ash broke it in his hand. Misty got scared.

"Lets get going Ash. When we find a hotel I will give you a massage to calm you down." Misty said.

They all found a hotel and started talking about things that had happened to them over the years. And after that everyone fell asleep, but Misty. Who wondered "who and why would someone kill Ash's father?"

The next day Ash, Misty , and Brock went out for a walk.

"So you guys want to go to the beach?" Misty asked.

"Yeah ok. Brock said. There should be a shortcut but we have to go threw this alley."

"Ok Brock but you better be right about this." Misty said showing him her fist.

"See I told you I can already see the ocean." Brock said pointing the foward.

Just then three strong looking men came out of know where and said "give us all your money. Or else."

Ash noticed one of them had a gun. The other two had knifes.
