Prologue
He couldn't sleep. Ash Ketchum (on his way to becoming a pokemon master) had two things whirling around in his mind. One being the Hoenn Pokemon league only 1 day away and the other a secret he had locked away. Finally with the sound of pikachu "Pikaa", he fell into a deep sleep.
She tossed and turned in her bed, but no matter what she did; sleep would not take over her restless mind. Misty (Cerulean Gym leader) could not get her mind off the one person she loved. She knows she has to tell him, before it's too late. After thinking for another couple of hours, sleep finally came and gently swept her away.
Ash was already awake before sunrise. He decided he could use some last- minute training, but he couldn't really focus. All day he had been thinking about her. Does she love me? No, she hates me. She's always so mean to me, she has to hate me, but does she? He could picture her standing right in front of him yelling, but he wouldn't pay attention to her yelling. Instead, like he had always done, he would stare at her beautiful fiery orange hair, her perfect little pink lips that he wished he could plant a kiss on, and her beaming green eyes that never seemed to show any anger when she yelled; but instead were quite sympathetic and innocent. Every day felt like an eternity waiting for his chance to see his beautiful love right in front of him.
He was in a trance thinking about her, not even pokemon training could get his mind off Misty. He could hear a voice coming from the back coming closer. The sun finally rose in the sky and he could hear footsteps behind him.
"Hey Ash! We should get goin now, don't wanna be late" came a voice he knew so well.
"Yea, I'm coming Brock" he sighed and walked to his next obstacle to becoming the champion.
Misty, like Ash woke up before the sunrise. She took her daily swim in the pool, and prepared to take her role as the Cerulean Gym leader. How she longed for the return of her sisters. She was stuck in this gym, and it was true that she has become a better trainer but at what cost. She hasn't seen Ash for the longest time now ever since they parted a while ago. She didn't want to leave Ash on that dreadful day; she wanted to continue her travels with him. To her despair she had received an urgent message to return to the gym and take the post of gym leader; meanwhile Ash headed out for the Hoenn region. She can picture him in her mind right now; his silky black hair, and his determined golden brown eyes looking into hers. There was nothing more that she wanted other than to see her love once again, but there were questions roaming around in her mind. Does he love me? He probably thinks I'm so mean and snobby. Oh Ash I love you and you probably hate me. Ash do you love me. Do you?
She just got out of the pool, when she heard voices coming from the front door. She ran and right in front of her she caught the sight of her three sisters standing right before her eyes. She hugged them. It was true that they always made fun of her, the runt, and the ugly one. She didn't care; she missed them and it was true. She finished her hug and without saying a word she dressed, grabbed her little red bag, and ran out of the gym. As she ran, there was only one thing in her mind; seeing her beloved Ash once again.
