MISTY'S JOURNEY
REGAINING PIKACHU
"Pika pikachu pi." It was Pikachu…
"Pikachu is it really you?" Nurse Joy walked out from behind the desk and came towards me.
"Misty, Professor Oak sent Ash's Pikachu for you. He wasn't sure if you wanted him or not."
"Oh… I will take him he's Ash's after all." Nurse Joy smiled and walked back to the desk where some trainers needed help.
"Pika pi pika chu." I then walked over to the couch and flaked out upon it. It was so nice not to be lost and always sleeping in the woods…Just thinking about the woods made me remember all the times Ash had got us lost. I never had anybody who liked me like he did… As I remembered his last precious few minutes on this earth a thought crossed my mind it may be completely random but maybe he would know.
"Well Pikachu do you think that we should head over to Pewter City and see Brock before we head home?" Pikachu solemnly nodded his head. " Alright then let's go!" We started out the door…
5 HOURS LATER…
"AAAAHHHH! Ok never mind I thought I saw a bug…" Pikachu fell to the ground laughing. We were lost and my outburst had made him snap into hysterics, or at least that's what I thought. He regained his composure and walked on. I followed. Wide-eyed hoping not to run into my horrible fear…After a few minutes I realized I should have let Pikachu lead all along. He knew exactly where to go. Soon there after I saw the faint outline of Pewter City, the gym standing tall. We ran, we ran till we reached the doors of the gym. Brock was just coming out of the doors.
"MISTY!" A smile lit across his face.
"Brock!" I ran into his arms and he embraced me, not lovingly as I imagined Ash would have but caringly and concerning kind of way.
"Misty what's wrong?"
"Brock we were at the Pokemon Center in Viridian but I had a question I had to ask you."
"Well first why don't we grab something to eat?"
"Sure Brock good idea." We walked to his house quiet all the way. Pikachu was riding on Brock's shoulder just as he used to do with Ash. When we reached his house it was around 11'oclock so nobody was up. His parents were in bed as well as his many brothers and sisters.
"Here we go have a seat." He led me to the living room and I sat down on the couch. He left to go make some food for us. It was strange…I had never been to Brock's house before and how long had we been friends? The living room had 2 couches a few loveseats and quite numerous chairs seeming randomly placed. I was seated on the couch next to the fireplace. As I stared at the beautiful colours Brock returned with some penne primavera and garlic bread and some pokefood for Pikachu. I took a bite.
"Brock this is wonderful!" He grinned and went back to eating. That was not like Brock not to brag about his "secret recipe" I grew very concerned. After we finished eating I helped Brock clean up. When everything was done…
"Thank you Misty for your help. You too Pikachu."
"Pika!"
"So Misty you had a question right?"
"Yes."
"So what is it?"
"I know this sounds kind of silly but… Is there a way to bring people back from the dead?" I blurted out. He had a look on his face but he did not respond right away.
"Misty that answer you are looking for has a long answer so I will tell you in the morning after breakfast." He spoke so firmly I knew there was no point in refusing so I nodded. "Good you may have my room and I will sleep on the couch we will pack a breakfast and lunch and go to the park tomorrow. Be up early."
"Ok." It was a lame response but I didn't care so Brock showed me to his room. Shortly after I fell asleep.
