I boarded the ferry that would take me to Hoenn. I had one last look at Vermilion City and the S.S. Grape started on the long journey to Hoenn.
"PIKA!" I smiled at Pikachu; he was very excited about this trip. I turned and looked out at the sea. I wondered what happened when you die… I wondered whether it was better if I just left Ash wherever he was. "Pika?"
"Oh… Don't worry Pikachu. I'm alright." Then all of a sudden someone tapped me on the shoulder so I turned around. I came face to face with Richie!
"Hi Misty!" He smiled. "It's been awhile."
"Hey Richie, what are you doing going to Hoenn?"
"Well I'm on my way to Hoenn to catch some new Pokemon. What about you?"
"I'm going to find Jirachi and wish Ash back." He was silent for a moment then finally responded.
"Misty… so many things could go wrong. I mean it's very difficult to locate Jirachi. Some complication could happen or what if Ash doesn't want to come back? What if he just wants you to be happy and move on?" That comment hit me hard. What if Richie was right? What if Ash really didn't want to come back? "Sorry Misty I didn't mean to cause any offense." I snapped.
"RICHIE DON'T YOU THINK I HAVE CONSIDERED THAT!" That probably wasn't the best way to handle it. "Richie I'm sorry…" Richie I think was still in shock.
"Pika pi chu?" Pikachu was wondering where Sparky was when all of a sudden…
"PIKA CHU!" All of a sudden all anyone saw was a yellow blur cross the ferry. Sparky.
"Come on Sparky lets go." Richie looked kind of mad and sad both at the same time.
"Pika chu pi?" Sparky was very confused.
"Richie please don't go…" I didn't want to end off on bad terms with Richie. He just walked away. Didn't even say goodbye, he just left. I just stood there.
"Pika pi pica chu…?" All of a sudden…
"Prepare
for trouble...
...And
make it double

protect the world from devastation...
...to
unite all peoples within our nation.
To

Jessie...

Team
Rocket blast off at the speed of light...
...surrender
now or prepare to fight.
MEEEEEEEEEEOWTH
THAT'S RIGHT!"
"Great just what we need, some clowns for a show." I announced.
"Oh look it's the twerp's girl friend." Jessie screeched. A long moment of silence followed. "What no remark?"
"Ash… died." I guess they hadn't heard the news yet.
"What the twerp couldn't have died it's impossible." Jessie muttered.
"How can it be the…" James was too shocked even to finish his sentence.
"Well it's true so I guess you can leave me alone now right?" I inquired.
"No! You still have da twerps Pikachu!" Meowth exclaimed.
"That's right Arbok GO!"
"Weezing go!" James sure didn't sound very enthusiastic…
"PIKACHU THUNDERBOLT ATTACK!"
"PIKAAAA CHUUU!" A large thunderbolt sent Team Rocket flying. Before they were out of sight I heard James say…
"What's the point in going after Pikachu if we know were just going to blast off?"
"Cuz we need da Pikachu for da boss!"
"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKETS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The captain of the ferry came up to me.
"Thank you for dealing with those buffoons."
"No problem I deal with them all the time."
"Really? Well then I feel sorry for you but say I make it up to you by allowing you to meet my friend when we get to Hoenn for a guide?"
"Well that's very kind of you but it's ok really. I do not wish to trouble you in any way…"
"NO! It won't trouble me young lady it would actually be quite good for him."
"Ok if you insist…"
"Excellent! By the way my name is Mr. Briney."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Briney my name is Misty."
"Well Misty I'm sure Wally will be pleased to meet you." I stared out to sea and spotted what looked like a white bird flying around.
"Mr. Briney what is that flying around there?"
"Well Misty that would be my Peeko. She is my oldest friend. Do you know what type of Pokemon she be?" I shook my head no. "Peeko would be called Wingull or something like that. Well time to get back to navigating.."
"See you later Mr. Briney!" I shouted after him. He raised his arm in response. I smiled. Mr. Briney seemed like a kind old gentlemen. All of a sudden an announcement crossed throughout the whole ship.
"Everyone get ready to be put to dock!" So I went to grab my belongings and shortly after piled out of the boat after many passengers.
"Misty!" a voice rang through the crowd. I turned around and saw Mr. Briney running my way so I went to meet him. "Misty…" He was out of breath after the long run. "This is Slateport… Not the right place to meet Wally."
"Oh! Right!" Not like I knew what I was talking about but oh well.
"I will take you to my hut where Wally is going to meet us!" I nodded so I went back onto the boat for another trip…
AN HOUR LATERWe had made it to Mr. Briney's hut. Now we were just waiting for this Wally to show up.
"PIKA PI!" He had spotted a bottle of ketchup. Opened it and was eating it?
"Pikachu! This isn't your home you should ask before you take something of someone else's!"
"Its Ok Misty I don't mind." I nodded. "Misty may I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it Mr. Briney?"
"What has brought you to Hoenn?" As I was about to respond I heard a knock and a fragile voice.
"What's wrong Mr. Briney what's the emergency?"
TBCAuthor's note: sorry it took so long to update but I had major writers block and high school started so it may take me awhile to update. Just so we are all on the same page I know Jessie and James have other Pokemon now but I prefer there older ones. Hope you liked this chapter and hopefully a new chap will be up soon!
