Here we go again! Another chapter of "Let the Truth Be Told!" I have to admit I didn't think I would actually get this far into the story....or get this many reviews!
I got a lot of great ideas from some awesome reviewer's and I think I'll finish this story with a little twist.
But ne way, sorry for the long wait, but chapter six is now here!
Chapter 6: Another Soap Opera Drama
"But..Johnathon......why?"
"Because...because I was afraid Alexis. I was afraid that might have messed up what we already had."
"But all you had to do was tell me! Tell me how you really felt! You showed your feelings to her! Then why not me?"
"Missy..."
She raised her hand to stop him.
"No...don't."
"But Missy....."
"I use to melt when you called me that." She said looking down. "But now...I don't know what to feel."
Ash began to descend down the stairs from Misty's room. "Wow..misty is so beautiful when she's sleeping like that. The lighting in the room was perfect too! But what was that she was talking about?" Ash thought.
FLASHBACK
"Nooo! Please!" begged a sleeping Misty. "I-I Love....you."
END FLASHBACK
"Who...or what? Could she have been dreaming about?" he continued to ponder.
"Please Misty don't go, I don't want to lose you! Not again! Please, I'm begging you!"
"What's that?" Ash thought aloud. He peeked behind the corner to see Nurse Joy sitting at the front desk with wads of tissue around her, constantly dabbing away the tears in her eyes while looking at the television.
"What the....." he peered even further to she what she was watching. When he couldn't get a better view from peeking around he decided to just walk up to the desk to see himself.
She was watching the show in an angle so when he walked up to the front desk he only saw her left side.
"Weird, one of the characters on the show has the same name as Misty." Ash thought.
"How do I know?!? How do I know that what you're saying to me is true and straight from the heart? You said those exact same lines to just the other day!" said the woman.
"Misty please! I-I love you." He said in an inaudible whisper.
"What?"
"I said I love you! And I'll say for everyone around to hear me say it to you again! I LOVE YOU!"
"Wow he's dramatic." stated Ash. Wonder if that'll work on the....
Just then the door to the poke'mon center opened and who was to enter then, none other than Kasey.
"Ashy-poo! What are you doing here? I thought you had something to do.?" she asked.
"Already taken care of." He answered shyly, stuffing his hands in pants pocket. "What are you doing back so soon? I thought you went out to do some shopping?"
"Well yeah, but then I remembered that the game was coming on today at 6:00 and decided to stay in so I wouldn't miss it." She answered.
"Okay, Kasey, it's...." he glanced at his watch, "...9:30, what did a 6:00 o'clock game have to do with you shopping?"
"Well, tons! I can't go shopping for a bathing suit without a guy with me!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"But Johnny, I thought who were in love with me?" said a woman from the TV.
"What?!? No Kasey."
"Ahhh but why? With a male's perspective I'll have a better idea of what to buy. Come on Ash please?" she begged.
"No way! Shopping's not my thing."
"Oh come Ash, it'll be fun!"
"I told you no Kasey!" he said losing his temper again for the second time that day.
"Agh...then why? Your not into guys are you?" she asked.
"No!"
"Your still single right?" she questioned on.
"No, I-I mean Yes."
"Then come with me! You go shopping with Misty when she asks!" she whined.
"That's because...."
"I'm in love with Misty!" shouted a voice behind Ash.
"What!" choked Ash.
He turned a deep crimson red and turned to see were the voice came from. And sure enough it was from the soap opera Nurse Joy was watching.
"Geez!" thought Ash. "Why does the character on that dumb show have to have the same name as...."
"Well?" demanded Kasey.
"Er, huh?" he stuttered.
"ASH!" she yelled.
"(sniff) That....(sniff)...was so beautiful." Nurse Joy choked. "I'll never get over this show." She continued to crack.
She began to pick up her tissues and throwing them away to cleaning up her soap opera mess.
"Hmm?? Oh! When did you two get there?" the curious nurse asked.
"We've only been here for a minute Ms. Joy." answered Kasey.
"Oh please, call me Nurse Joy, Ms. Is too formal." She said.
"Oh well...Nurse Joy....what was it that you were watching?" asked Kasey.
"Oh, I was watching my favorite soap opera "Trainer's in Love." The nurse answered.
"Well it must be pretty good to get a nurse like you to actually take a break from her duties to watch it."
"It is, however I must apologize for that little show. I didn't mean to seem slaking off during duty hours like you just saw. It's just today has been such a slow day that I have to stay at my post until the emergencies come in."
"You say it like you know a bunch are gonna come in soon." Kasey stated.
"Oh yes, its always very busy in the evening when its slow during the day."
"How interesting, I..."
"Umm excuse me...Nurse Joy?" Ash interrupted. "Umm, I'm sorry to butt into your conversation, but I was wondering if my poke'mon were done with their check-ups. I'd like to go out and train them a bit before it gets too late."
"Oh yes, I'll retrieve them right away for you." The nurse replied.
While she was away, Ash suddenly felt uncomfortable.
There he was at the front desk of the Poke'mon Center with Kasey all alone, with no one around. Not even his best buddy, Pikachu, was around.
Okayyy....this is weird. I've never been uncomfortable around Kasey before. What could've drove me to being so fidgey around her?
His mind automatically thought back to the scene in Misty's room just moments ago when he gently kissed her in her sleep.
That can't be it, can it?
"Oh Ash! Look at the adorable growlithe!" Kasey exclaimed breaking Ash away from his train of thought. "Isn't it adorable??!?!!!?"
GRROOWWWWOWW!
"Awwww it's so adorable!" she cued.
"Looks like he got away from his family again." came a voice.
The two teens turned to see Nurse Joy walking towards them,with Ash's poke' balls in the poke' tray. (a/n: okay you guys know that tray they put their poke'mon in to get healed while they're in their poke' balls? Okay, that's what I'm aiming at here. I have no clue what its really called but I'll improvise until someone actually tells me.)
"The little fella loves to explore. He always goes running around here when he thinks the coast is clear."
"Nurse Joy, you mean you know who this growlithe belongs to?" asked Ash.
"Noo, I'm afraid not. I found this little guy and his brothers and sisters abandoned in the forest nearby here. It turned out that two of a trainer's growlithe fell in love had a litter. But the trainer didn't want them so he left them there."
"That's terrible!" Ash stated.
"Who would do such a thing?" Kasey demanded.
"I don't know." The nurse replied. "However I do know that I've been taking care of them for a while since I found them." She began to rub around the dog's jaw line receiving a pleasing growl from the young poke'mon.
"So what are you going to do with them?" Ash asked curiously.
"Well I've been trying to give them to trainer's would be willing to raise the young poke'mon. But every trainer I've proposed the idea to refused because they wanted to capture the poke'mon in the wild themselves."
"So what are you going to do about them?" asked Kaesy.
"Well I've been training them to be guard dogs for the poke'mon center." She told proudly.
"Hey that's...." Kasey began.
"Pretty cool." finished Ash. "Considering you're a nurse and all."
"Well, what are you talking about? Don't the Nurse Joys' of the poke'mon centers train their chansey's?" asked Kasey.
"Nope, "stated Ash matter of fact tone. "In fact, the chansey's at all of the poke'mon centers are all trained to be assistants to all the Joys. There's even a special school for Chansey's."
"Wow..is that true Nurse Joy?"
She nodded her head in agreement and stood up beside the now lying growlithe.
"It's very unusual for a nurse such as myself to train a poke'mon herself. But I always believed in trying new things so decided that these baby growlithes were the perfect start."
"Well that's great Nurse Joy, keep up the good work and I'm sure one day those growlithe will grow to be the best guard dogs around." commented Ash.
"Why thank you very much young man, that really means a lot to me." Thanked Joy.
"Well I don't get." said Kasey.
"Get what Kase?"
"Doesn't Officer Jenny go parading around with a growlithe of her own? I mean won't it be beneficiary to the police if you gave them the baby growlithe?"
"Your absolutely right Kasey, however, I already tired. But like us Joys', we receive our poke'mon already trained from the academy."
"Oh."
(a/n: Hahaha! That bitch got told!)
They stood there in an uncomfortable silence. Neither one saying a word, just fidgeting in their on unsteadiness.
"Well, "came in Ash. "It's almost lunch time, so I think I'm gonna go wake up Brock and Misty."
"NO!" Kasey yelled in a somewhat frightful tone.
"I mean....no, don't wake them up just yet. Nurse Joy said they were up all night so why don't we just let them sleep?"
"Well yeah, but...."
She began to laugh nervously as she pulled him by the arm away from the stair case. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it Ashy poo! Remember I came back so you can go shopping with me and if your friends get hungry they'll eventually come down to eat."
"Kasey, how can you say something like that? They're your friends too!"
"Uh oh. This is starting to get intense. Looks like my queue to bail." thought the nurse.
"Besides I told you, 'shopping isn't my thing!'"
"Well..uh...ahhh..." she became hesitant. Sure she cared for the others but she knew of Misty's feeling for Ash and didn't know what might happen if he was to wake her up.
"I think I'll go check on the other poke'center's to see if any of them need any help at the moment." said a retreating Nurse Joy.
"Just think about it Ash, "Kasey continued to argue. "You know Misty's a grouchy person when she's waking up. And she's already angry at you from yesterday and......wait a second......"
"Pika pikaaaa!" pikachu exclaimed.
"I thought you were mad at her too! What happened here while I was gone Ash Ketchum?"
"Come on pikachu let's bail!" yelled Ash running out the door.
"Piiii!"
The duo of friend and poke'mon ran out the poke'mon center not even once glancing back to see if Kasey was behind them for as far as they knew she was right on their tail. However, she was still where they left her. Still standing in the same spot she was in when she questioned them at the Poke'mon Center.
She stood there silently with her arms crossed staring up the stair case. And a glare in her eyes that could but a Gengar to shame.
"Misty Waterflower, I don't know what you did to Ash while I was gone, but whatever you did....."
She stopped staring and ran out the center to only stop again and look at the floor with the bedrooms.
"Mark my words Waterflower..." she said below a whisper. "You will regret it!"
And with that said she ran off in the direction Ash and Pikachu went with a whole new scheme developing in her head.
SORRY!! I am begging for forgiveness now before anyone gives me any flames. I know this chapter got a little dull around the end but....its poke'mon. It gets dull at times. That's why some people only watch it when there's nothing else on or when they show an awesome preview of a new episode. So, yeah, I know this one had no humor (for those who liked that) but next chapter will be better....and funnier!
