Chapter:
Start it off: Misty, Gary's Love at 1st Sight!

Chapter Summary:
Misty was kicked out in her lone apartment and left the town, leaving a pile of loan. Now, needing for a huge amount of money, she worked as a bar waitress in Pallet Town. As the night passed on, who did she bumped in? The infamous Gary Oak.

There's more than meets the eye

"Get your dirty ass out of my apartment! Now!"

A lone brunette was pushed out of her apartment, a screaming woman in the door and her bags being thrown outside, hitting it at her face. Then a loud banging door came right in front of her face as she tried to stand up and beg for apology. But she knew it was too late now, she had the same experience when she was just a kid.

Misty Waterflower sighed and took her bags with her, planning to leave. Turning one last look at the so-called-house of her, she shook her head and a small tear ran down her cheeks. She hated this feeling before. Having her home lost was worse than this. She remembered the times when she was with her happy family and her charming sisters. But things went wrong when a sudden event happened.

Flashbacks

A seven year old Misty Waterflower appeared in front of her old house back with her family. She used to live a merry life with them, or so merrier than this…

"Mommy? Daddy? I'm home! Look what I got in my hands! I got four stars!"

She was expecting two hands and two figures to carry her in their arms, but what she saw was not expected.

Two bloody figures were in the floor, lying at their backs and their heads were cut off. For a youngster like her, she wouldn't be expecting to see a real life-time gore and not to mention, at her parents. She screamed so loud and ran out of their door crying in the rain.

The season of fall was hitting at Cerulean City and autumn nights were as breezy as winter's; especially when rain pours down at the lonely night sky. Misty hated the rain. She really hated it when loud thunders boom at her ears. Usually in a situation like this, her mother hugs her tightly and hums sweet songs.

But today was a different one, for her shadow was the only one following every footstep that she makes. No one was there to hug her. No one was there to hum a goodnight song. All she could expect for tonight was her parent's dead bodies inside their happy house and the worse part of it is that she wasn't able to help them. That was the worst feeling of all.

The feeling never left her that night and so she decided to run away. Where could fate bring her today? Running down in a dark street, a man caught her in his arms. Misty wiggled her foot and arms to struggle for her life but when she did that, darkness filled her eyes and all she knew was she is in a room full of pure white colors.

Was she in heaven?

End of flashbacks

Remembering those times was a bad idea. She wiped the crystals in her eyes and stopped at her track. She was not going to cry anymore. She was Misty, Misty Waterflower. She is a strong and independent woman now, err… Not that matured woman, she is only seventeen for Christ's sake! But even so, she is going to prove herself that this was her life. She was destined in this life and for who knows, the beginning of her journey was just starting. She is going to prove that she could survive this test no matter what!

"I should get going. I need to find a job quickly so I could feed myself and search for a place to stay in." She told herself.

She began to pull her wallet to count off her money. Luckily there was more, but it was just only 320 G. (Gold). The less amount of money would only give her a food, and a sign-up tax for a job. If she would take a 50 G, 270 G would be left but the tax was 300 G. Oh what cruel life she had.

"No, I will stand at this stupid test! I know I will! I believe in myself…" She told herself again.

But, what would this test bring her? Whatever it is, she hopes it was one hell worth for. Because for what she knows, she was standing in front of a studio and read the sign:

WANTED:
Girls from 16-21 years old come right in and experience the world of show business. If you think you are with the pleasing and head-turning looks, please head in and submit your bio-data with the latest picture of you. The lucky one would get to be in the front cover of 'Teen Candy' issue with the famous Gary Oak! What are you waiting for?

Misty stared and examined every detail at the ad. A smirk was plastered in her face as she pulled her bags tightly close at her body.

Something's telling me I should try the audition here. Who knows, this might be the stairway to my heaven? Who cares about that Gary dude, what I need now is money.

Whatever the brunette was planning, bless her with all her glory because that smirk was not just an ordinary smirk, but a playful smirk.

"Get you filthy ass in the studio! Now!"

A daring auburn guy was pulled in the studio where photo's are to be taken. He was beyond pissed off in his limits when a dozen of fan girls tried to pull his arm, which he found so annoying! Sure, he loves watching girls cheer over him but not to the point that they would be smooching and flirting with him. Well, it's okay for him but he finds it ANNOYING, again.

Gary Oak sighed and placed his chained wallet inside his pocket, getting ready for the photo shoot. He never really liked his career. It was too much stressing. He shook his head as the photographer signaled him to pose. He did one and it was hot, too hot. Well, everything he does is totally catchy.

After the photo shoot, he sat at one of those steel benches and drank cold water. A sweat ran down in his forehead, opening his eyes he saw a row of girls in a straight line. Gary rolled his eyes and ignored the girls doing mushy and kooky kisses at him. Two words that he hates at girls are slut and whore.

"Oh Gary, please be my guy! Oh how I love to stare at your beautiful, hot, sexy—"

Oh puuhleez, I hate these girls. So much for sluts… He thought and turned at the other direction. He could not stand watching the love strucked women at his right side. What he saw on his left side was a corner and nothing else.

Sheesh, can't I do anything else? Where the f--- is that Tracey? A huge vein popped at Gary's temple as he waited impatiently for the Tracey guy. (Me: Who happens to be his manager… He stood up to take a stroll and explore the studio. He didn't expect what he saw…

That girl looks familiar…

"I SAID LET ME IN YOU BIG FART! I AM TRYING OUT FOR THE PHOTO SHOOT THINGIE!" the red headed girl shouted at the guard in the front door.

"Ha, you? Going to try out? Ha! Look at yourself you ass, you're more than uglier than those pedestrian lane side vendors! I should say, go find something else than this one 'cuz this wouldn't fit you young lady. I suggest you go to a strip bar instead!" And with that, the man burst out laughing leaving the girl embarrassed and depressed.

Gary saw the whole commotion, he didn't like it. He was not the type of this person, but what that guard did was off limits. He watched the girl suddenly left the door, but he paid no heed and ran after her but after leaving his feet at the studio, he shot a glare to the man leaving him confused.

He ran after her and grabbed her arm in a nice way. "Miss, are you okay?' He asked with a concern in his face. What was I thinking? The red head smiled and nodded calmly. "Yes I'm fine mister…. I should be going now. Good bye, thanks for the concern…"

She was about to turn back, but he pulled her close to his body that made the girl blush. "I heard you and that guard from the studio. What he said were lies. Don't believe him, you're cute anyways." I said she's cute? CUTE? What the hell is wrong with me?

"R-really..?" She asked a bit flushed. "Well, err…. Thanks for the compliment. I, uh, what do you want anyways?"

"You're auditioning for the photo shoot right?" Gary asked. The girl nodded and looked away. "Don't worry; I'll get you in there in no problem! So you're name?" THE HELL! Now I'm asking her name!

"I… I'm Misty Waterflower, sir…" Misty replied and blushed even more.

Misty… Cute name…

Gary grinned and pulled her towards the studio, but stopped at her tracks a bit annoyed. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?"

"I'm getting you in the silly!" He answered. "What do you think?"

"Who are you anyways! Maybe you're just some stalker or kidnapper or rapist! Or even so, why are you doing this?" Misty cried angrily while Gary rolled his eyes. Girls these days…

"I am doing this because you have the potential to be in here. You would probably fit in." He finally said and pulled her more.

Misty growled loud. "And your name?"

He smirked. "Call me Gary Oak."
