Chapter 7
Ash and Richie were running on the stairs toward Misty's room pushing each other violently. The Oak mansion has never been so agitated with these two hurricanes.
"Get out of the way Richie!" yelled a pissed off Ash
"Get lost!" Richie shouted back
They finally arrived to Misty's room and opened the door, without knocking before. Surprised, they discover it was empty; Misty was no where in sight.
"Where is she?" wondered Ash
Later in the morning in Gary's room
Gary got up and, throwing a last glance to a sleeping Misty, he smiled before getting dressed. He was taking his pants off and just at that moment, Misty woke up.
"Hi Gar... Ah!" she screamed before turning back with blush on her cheeks
"What's wrong never saw a boy in boxer before?" he said grinning widely
He dressed up.
"So are you coming to my match today?" he asked her
"Of course, who are you battling?" she replied
"I'm against Richie today" he said smiling to Misty's disconcerted face
"Well…I…I…" she started
"Don't worry I don't care if you're not cheering for me, just be there please" he cut her off. "Let's go eat breakfast!" he added and gave her his hand.
She took it and they went down for breakfast. Ash and Richie were already eating and they looked suspiciously at Gary seeing he was arriving with Misty.
"Good morning Misty" greeted Richie with an genuine smile
"Hi Richie, ready for your battle?" asked Misty, smiling as well "What happened to your eye?" she cried concerned
"Long story…" started Richie
"Hey Misty!" cut off Ash "Where were you yesterday night?" he added glaring at Richie angry and at Gary still suspicious.
Misty was looking embarrassed
"She was with me" said Gary, replying for her
"What!" both Richie and Ash yelled in unison, shocked
"I wasn't feeling good so I went to Gary's room" half lied Misty and asked "Ash, you're hurt too, what's happened?" realizing Ash's eye
"They fought" said a voice.
They turned around, discovering it was Brock, followed by both May and Max.
"What?" yelled Misty, it was her turn to be shocked
"Yeah, Brock told me about it" said Max
"I heard some trainers said it was pretty hot" added May, "I wondered what they were fighting for" she said sarcastically.
Richie and Ash looked sheepish while Misty was getting more depressed since she had guessed the reason why they were fighting.
Realizing that, Gary immediately change the subject
"May I think you're battling Ash today, right?"
May, guessing what he was doing for Misty, played along
"Yeah, I'm going to kick his butt!" she said looking fiercely at Ash
"Don't cry to me when you'll lose" Ash sighed
"She can beat you, Ash" Richie said taking May's defense
Ash just glared menacingly
Gary saw that.
"Hey Ashy-boy, if glare could kill, poor Richie will already be dead" he said chuckling
"Yeah and you'll be dead for a long time too" he replied more aggressive
"What's your problem, Ketchum?" Gary said not laughing anymore
"It's you! You slept with Misty pervert!" he yelled
"Misty, aren't you just a little bit too young for that?" asked Brock "Even I didn't do it"
"I don't think you're be doing it any soon" added May, amused
"We didn't do anything" said Gary
"Yeah, right! How many girls did you abused?" angrily replied Ash
A voice interrupted them:
"TODAY'S MATCHES WILL BE BEGINNING SOON, THE FIRST MATCH IS GARY OAK VS. Mr. RICHIE (what's his last name?). PLEASE BE READY I WHITIN THE TEN NEXT MINUTES I REPEAT BE READY WITHIN THE NEXT 10 MINUTE IF NOT YOU MAY BE DISQUALIFIED"
"Well, I'm not saying good luck to any of you, I'm just glad that one of you will be gone" said bitterly Ash before exiting, pushing Gary aside rudely.
"Wish me good luck" said Gary to Misty, Ignoring Ash's behavior
Misty looked playfully at Gary
"I thought you didn't need this kind of stuff"
Gary looked at her, amused, before answering:
"Well then kiss me good luck, every guy would like that" he grinned
Misty just giggled and gave a quick kiss on his cheek under his surprised eyes.
"Hey I want one too!" said Richie childishly
Misty also laughed at that and gave him a little peck too before turning to May
"Do you want to May?"
"I think I'll pass" they all laughed.
Gary and Richie exited the room to go get ready for the match
"Brock, I want to show you something!" said Max "Come with me!"
They quitted the room, leaving, unconsciously, May and Misty alone.
"We should go see the match, don't you think?" Misty offered, but stopped when she saw May's sad face
"What's wrong May?"
"Misty, were you in Gary's room because of Ash?"
"Huh, I didn't go there intentionally" she replied, embarrassed
"I see…You and Gary got closer, right?"
"Yeah but I couldn't say the same about you and Ash. What happened between you guys?"
"He's so obsessed about you that he completely forgets about me"
"I'm really sorry for everything I'm putting you trough" she sincerely said.
"It's ok Misty, it's not your fault. Could you do me a favor?"
"Yeah May, whatever you want" reassure Misty.
"Give Ash a chance, he really loves you. Don't worry about me. Remember you said you'll do whatever I want and I think Ash deserve a chance"
"I thought you loved him" said a confused Misty
"Yes, that's why I'm doing this… anyway let's go see Richie and Gary's battle"
They arrived at the match just in time when both Gary and Richie when releasing their pokemon. A pikachu and a Scyther appeared, looking determined at each other.
"Sparky, thunderbolt!" started Richie
Scyther flinched at the attack while Richie and Sparky cheered
"Sparky, now use quick attack"
It hit scyther again.
The audience was wondering what Gary was doing; he seemed to be looking for someone and didn't pay too much attention on the match. That was kind of insulting Richie, and he was getting pissed until he heard this:
"Good job Sparky!" cheered Misty
Richie looked at her, nicely and Gary took his chance, now that he had found what- or who- he was looking for. Satisfied he really started the battle.
"Double kick!" he ordered to Scyther
Sparky was over confident with his two last attacks so he was too surprised to dodge the attack and fell on the ground.
"C'mon Sparky, get up I know you can do it!" Richie encouraged his pokemon
Gary knew what that he had a chance to quickly end the combat right now.
"Go Scyther, slash!"
Sparky was just getting up when the attack was launched. It was a critical hit. The battle seemed to be over.
"Sparky you can do it pal! C'mon don't give up on me yet" pleaded Richie really willing to win this combat and also a chance to be with Misty. The other trainers were looking at him with some pity at his determination although the math was over. However Richie's pikachu surprised everyone by getting up on his feet again!
"Way to go Sparky!" yelled happily the brown haired guy
If everyone was impressed just by Sparky getting up, their jaw dropped when they saw
Richie order a thunder attack and Sparky doing it with so much power that Scyther couldn't possibly dodge it. What was about to be an awesome comeback turned out to be a useless attack; Gary had more trick off his sleeve. He didn't doubt about Sparky getting back up again after his attack. He knew that Richie and his pokemon shared a great bond and that Sparky would give anything he has to please his trainer. So while Richie and everyone else attention was on Sparky, he had order, discretely, his pokemon to use double team followed by fly. So the thunder attack only hit an illusion and on Gary's turn to attack Scyther, coming from nowhere, flied down on Sparky at full speed. Sparky didn't stand a chance. He was knocked a few feet further and had fainted, Gary had won. The cloud cheered loudly for the, not surprising, remarkable match. After all both Richie and Gary were well known as great pokemon trainer in Kanto, Ash too.
"Sparky return!"
Richie, with his pokeball shot a red laser beam at Sparky and it vanished
"Good job, pal!" he said looking at the pokeball
Gary walked toward Richie
"Great battle, Richie"
"Yeah, I guess Misty gave you more luck than to me. I wanted to win for her but I gotta admit your determination was bigger. I guess you deserve Misty more than me" he smiled sadly to him. "Take care of her"
"Thanks, I will" Gary promised to Richie and added "But I don't agree; I think you'd have made a great boyfriend."
"Thanks, you just need to make Misty realize that you're way better than Ash and make Ash realize that he already got May. In my case, I'll be leaving tonight. Good luck in the tournament" Richie winked to Gary shaking hands.
Gary was about to say something when May and Misty appeared
"Good match!" said May "It was awesome!"
"Yeah! You guys were fantastic!" agreed Misty
"Thank you" both guys said smiling
"Let's go eat dinner before May's match" proposed Richie
They left to take dinner in the cafeteria that the Pr. Oak had momentary installed because the trainers were putting to much mess in the grand hall. So they went to a table and during the meal, they started another conversation:
"So Richie, where are you leaving?" asked Gary
"What, you're leaving Richie!" exclaimed Misty
"Yeah, I got plenty other stuff to do plus I better train harder if I want to beat Gary one day" he said grinning widely to Gary, the two of them had gotten closer.
"Keep on dreaming pal!" replied the well known Oak and they both chuckled
"Well, Richie it was nice meeting you. When are you leaving?" said May after everyone stopped to laugh.
"Tonight, so don't worry I'll see your match and cheer for you" he winked to her
"Are you ready for your battle, May?" Gary asked "I got an advice for you, you should use Combuzken because I'm sure that Ash will use his Grovyle; He loves it plus his intention, as I see them, are to do a quick battle"
"Thank you Gary, I'll think about it"
Meanwhile
Ash was training with Brock, Max and Tracy.
"Ash, you shouldn't train this much. You need to rest a bit!"
"Yeah, Brock's right" said Max worried about Ash behavior
"Not now! Tracy, let's continue the battle!"
"Fine Ash but be careful"
"Ash, why are you doing all this?"
"I have to show Gary what I'm made of so I have to win tomorrow. The little punk think he can steal Misty away from me I'll show him!"
"Ash you shouldn't be so confident about your match today. I saw May, she's training very hard too" said Max
"It doesn't matter, I have to beat her and I also have to beat Gary if I want to win Misty's heart"
"Ash isn't on his normal state, I guess all this competition really got to him hope he'll realize what he is doing before he hurt someone, especially May…" Brock thought to himself
