Hey Guys! This is Chappie 4! Well Enjoy!
Chapter 4
Gary was looking at Misty who was fuming. The article and photos were still visible on the table to whoever would enter the room. They had gone out once and it was friendly but now all the media were turning this into some new relationship that the public will love just for more publicity which also equals more money. Gary knew this was no good for Misty, everyone knew that the Cerulean gym leader hated interviews so this was off the charts. And as much as he likes the idea of them together, this would only threaten the slim chance of growing friendship he had with her.
"I can't believe they did that!" she keep on screaming
"C'mon Misty, it's only a magazine and I'm not this bad looking" he tried to joke and regretted it as soon as he saw her open her mouth. It seemed like she wanted to throw him some kind of fire blast attack only this one seem more dangerous than his Arcanine's.
"ONLY A MAGAZINE? ARE YOU NUTS? EVERYONE IN KANTO WILL READ THIS PIECE OF CRAP!"
Gary wisely chose not to reply or contradict her and retreated to a safer distance. Seeing this, Misty sighed.
"I'm sorry Gary, you were just trying to help I didn't have to yell at you."
"...You're apologizing? I never thought you could say those words to me… twice"
"Ha ha ha, very funny, anyway I have nothing to lose right? What could be worse than this?"
At that right moment, a door flung open and startled both of them.
"Hey guys it's us! We came back with the grocery!" said an excited Lily
"Yeah and guess what we're eating for dinner?" added Violet
"What is this?" asked Daisy pointing toward the table
"Oh no…" mumbled Misty "What are we having for dinner?" she asked hoping to change the topic but it was useless since her three sisters were already around the table reading the page Gary had showed her before.
"Misty Waterflower, talented gym leader and gorgeous girl, seem to have put her hands on one of the most wanted man of all Kanto: The handsome and rich Gary Oak. Below are some photos taken yesterday on what seem to be a date. Misty is one of the four fantastic blablabla Gary is an expert at blablabla. They seem perfect for each other with such clashing personalities but the question is: How long will they last together?" Daisy read, skipping some uninteresting part and grinning widely along with her sisters.
"Wow Misty, didn't know that famous and loaded guys were your type especially players" laughed Lily while Violet was whistling.
"We were so worried that after Ash or whatever his name is, you would never date any other guys. It was true, lately you've been turning down all propositions…" added Daisy
"That doesn't have anything to do with Ash okay? It never crossed your mind that I just wasn't as much into guys as you are? Leave me alone with this!" she stormed off of the room
"She's been crabby and depressed since she came back from Hoenn" justified Daisy
"Actually today is the first time we hear her yell in weeks" said Lily
"Yeah, and that's no good. In reality she is so fragile, she yells so no one see her soft side. It's like self defense and even though she don't want to admit it she is weaker than everyone think"
"…"
The three sisters smiled.
"You're not a talented professor for nothing. Usually, it takes years to realize this, she is quite good at hiding it but I see you guessed all this in one single day."
"How come you…" started Gary
"We know so much? Look it's not because we're irresponsible, boy crazy that have no resources, that we can't take good care of ourselves or that Misty says so that we're bad sisters!"
"We always look over our little sister and make sure she's as happy as possible! And maybe you can help her, like, if we try to help she'd just blast us off"
"Like she just did?" asked Gary
"Yeah, something like that. But seriously you can help. Look you just gave her strength to yell again! Although it wasn't really necessary…"
"So you want me to look after Misty while you guys are shopping or doing your nails?"
"Exactly!" the three of them exclaimed
"Okay…"
Toc, Toc, Toc
"Daisy, I don't want to talk this out!" Gary heard Misty's grumpy voice yell
"Actually, the name's Gary"
"Oh, what do you want?"
"I thought we could do something… I don't know"
"I accepted the first time and see where it got me…"
"Then we could just watch T.V together" he proposed "Well we could also prepare dinner together and eat, c'mon it's homemade burgers!"
"No"
"Misty, your sisters are really worried about you and they're not the only ones. You could at least get out"
Silence
"They really love you…"
The door slightly opened and Gary could see Misty's nose.
"…And they're starving"
The door shut up instantly while Gary chuckled
"I was just joking, anyway we're preparing their food. We can spit in them if you want"
The door re-open, it was not fully opened but at least wider this time.
"And we put spices in them too?" she asked almost whispering, the innocence in her voice was hard to believe due to the evil thought in her words.
"Of course" he grinned at the sweet thought and really amused by her behavior
"Great, let's go then!" she exclaimed and pulled him to the kitchen
The next day, during the afternoon, Misty was in a better mood. It surely was due to all Gary's attention, they were also closer now. Always trying to amuse her by teasing or joking, he wasn't letting her a moment to think about Ash. And since the dinner accident and to date, it was working. Just now they were watching T.V, drinking the hot chocolate Gary had brought.
Ding Dong!
"I wonder who it could be" Misty questioned out loud and went to answer
"Hi, Misty" said a shaky voice
A sound of broken glass was heard. The hot chocolate in it spilled on the carpet but it was Misty's last preoccupation for the moment
"What are you guys doing here?" she asked shocked
"Well Ash wanted to visit you" replied Brock
"…"
"Can we enter?" asked a brunette. It was May,
"O-of course" said Misty, still shocked, "What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be in Hoenn?"
"Well we were in this hotel and there were magazines, so we read it and…"
"Can't we visit friends nowadays?" Ash cut her off bitterly; making Misty more uncomfortable, and him and the others entered and went to the living room
"Hey watch your mouth!" Gary said, hearing what Ash had said
"What are YOU doing here" exploded Ash, angry
"Can't we visit friends nowadays?" replied Gary as bitterly
"I don't even think this word is in your vocabulary! So it was true? All those rumors were?"
"What rumors?" asked Misty
"The one saying you were going out with him! You can't do that, he's my rival!"
"So you have all the time to come here just to tell me that?"
"C'mon guys, don't argue" tried to calm them Brock
"And what if I'm dating him?" continued Misty, ignoring Brock
"You are?"
"You are so stupid, Ash Ketchum, I don't want to talk to you!" she went in her room, raged
"What did I do?" Ash questioned his friends, who preferred not to be involved and shut up
"My name is Ash Ketchum and I don't have time to visit my friends because I must be a pokemon master but when they do something I don't approve of, I came back rushing to talk to them, without trying to know their feelings. Want to know why? I am dumb and egoistical. Doesn't that remind you of something?"
"Mind your own business Gary, it's your fault not mine! You can't go out with her!"
Brock made signs to Max and May to leave and put their stuff in Misty's guest rooms and the three of them left.
"Yes, I can't."
"And you are just trying to mess my whole life and….what did you say?"
"I couldn't go out with her even if I wanted to, which is the case"
"So you want to go out with her!"
"Shut up and listen"
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Because you're too damn idiot to use your eyes and see what's going on so try luck with your ears"
"And you can see?"
"Of course! Misty isn't happy. And if you can't see that, it's that you are dumber than I thought"
"I can do things on my own, I don't need your help"
"Okay but when she hates you, don't come complain to me"
"You don't even know her, how can you pretend to be friends with her?"
"You don't and still are"
"It's been years since I know her"
"This isn't just about years"
"Whatever Gary, but I can't manage what it is about or how you came up to be acquainted to her"
"Maybe it's just too much for your little brain to handle" Gary walked out
"What Misty needs is a friend, she needs me" thought Ash and went upstairs to Misty's room, completely ignoring what Gary had told him…
