Chapter 26: WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY!

Our heroes left Pallet a few weeks after the arrival. Delia wanted them to stay longer, but they promised that they would call more often. This perked her up a bit. Now we find the gang on the banks of a river at the base of a waterfall. Misty and Marie were fishing and having some girl talk. Andy and Brock were cooking and talking themselves about gym leaders (remember that Andy wants to be one and Brock is one). Ash and Aaron however were just relaxing.

Ash looked over at the girls and then looked around at the surroundings.

"What is it?" Aaron asked his brother who was grinning.

"Hold on." Ash said as he walked over to Misty.

"Hey Misty." He said as he made his way over to her.

"What is it Ash?"

"What are you doing?"

"Fishing?" She wondered where he was getting at.

"Ah. Going to see if you can't fish electric pokemon and their trainers out of the river?"

"Huh?" Misty asked before looking around at her surroundings. When she realized where they had set up camp, she laughed.

"What's so funny?" Aaron said as Ash joined her.

"Oh my gosh. Talk about coincidence." Misty said.

"I know. I just recently realized it myself." Ash added.

"What?" Brock said as he came to tell the younger trainers that lunch was ready.

"About four years ago," Misty started. "I got into a fight with my sisters. I left Cerulean City to become a World Famous Water Pokemon Master. I told my sisters that I wouldn't come back until I was one. Why I came back before is a different story. I came to this spot to catch a water pokemon. All of a sudden, I feel this strong tug on my rod. I reeled it in thinking that it was a big one. When it popped out of the water, I saw what my catch of the day was."

"What?" Andy and Marie asked.

Misty grabbed Ash's hand, "Let's just say this is where I caught my boyfriend."

Ash put in his say, "Of course at the time, I was some stupid kid who stole your bike."

"You matured."

"Thanks." He said as he kissed her passionately.

"Ok you two. We're about to eat." Brock said.

"You're just jealous." Misty said

"WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY!"

"Andy. Please Shut Up. You've been singing that the whole way." Misty complained.

"We've been through this before." Marie stated. "When Aaron first participated in the Pokemon league after the Silver Conference, we went straight to Viridian. After Aaron got the Volcano badge, we went to Viridian. He sang that song both times."

"What did you do?" Misty asked

Marie looked over to Aaron who was handing Brock, Pikachu, Static,and Ash (who had their ears covered) something. They put the objects in their ears and smiled.

"Here." She said handing Misty a pair of earplugs.

"Excuse me." Nurse Joy said as she came up to them.

"Yes Nurse Joy?" the gang asked.

"Do any of you know a Misty Waterflower?"
