Chapter 1: Missing With A Note Left Behind!

A redhead was training her pokemon near a gym in Cerulean City when she noticed a figure coming closer that was familiar.

"Ash!" said the redhead as she ran over to the figure known as Ash.

"Misty!" said Ash, running over to her and hugged her after she jumped into his arms.

"How have you been?" asked Misty as they let go of the hug.

"I've been good, but would've been better with you around to liven everything up." said Ash, smiling as he gave her a wink.

"Oh, Ash. You're being silly." said Misty, giggling as she gently pushed on his chest.

They both laughed for a little bit before they went into the gym and had some tea together as they worked on catching up.

Even though they wouldn't say it to each other, but they liked each other…a lot.

To many people that watched the two, they would think that they were a couple, but they were just really good friends who actually had feelings for each other even though they never told each other.

They always smiled, laughed, and joked with each other and even though they got into arguments, they still felt something for each other.

While they were catching up from everything, Misty had received a call from her sister, Daisy, that they were out of food and they needed her to go to the store and she reluctantly agreed to going.

Ash stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder as he was concerned just a bit as her mood went down a bit.

"What's wrong, Misty?" asked Ash, turning her to look at him.

"Daisy wants me to go to the store to pick up some food because we're out." replied Misty, looking sad.

"It's alright. I can go for you so that you can finish up your training." said Ash, smiling.

"Are you sure?" asked Misty and Ash nodded.

She quickly got a list written up and handed it to him before seeing him off.

She then got back outside to finish up her training sessions with her pokemon.

(In A Nearby Bush)

"Looks like she's all by herself now. Let's see about getting her now." said a female voice as she put the binoculars down.

"Let's wait a few until we make sure that who ever was with her is completely gone." said a male voice, putting his binoculars down.

"I don't care. Let's do it!" said another voice that was male.

(Back With Misty)

She had just finished her training session and was getting ready to head inside the gym when she heard an explosion from behind her.

She turned around and saw a machine that was as big as the gym and then she noticed a familiar symbol on it.

"Team Rocket! What do you want? Pikachu's not here!" yelled Misty, taking a battle stance against them.

"We want you!" said the trio in unison as they tried to catch her, but she was nimbler than before.

She quickly ran into the gym and jotted something down before heading back outside.

She tried to fight them, but they ended up sending out a mist that smelled funny and before long she was out.

"I told you that the chloroform mist was a good idea for this machine." said Meowth as they scooped Misty up and gently placed her in her holding area.

"We get it, Meowth. Let's head back to the base." said Jessie, looking at the cat pokemon before James started to head back to headquarters.

(Back With Ash)

He had just come back from the store and was calling out for Misty before finding something on the table.

He put the groceries away and then he read the note and his face dropped a couple shades of color.

The note said "Ash, if you are reading this, then Team Rocket got me. I have no idea what they want with me, but I know that it's something bad. I'll try my best to get out, but can't guarantee anything. Misty."

He ran out of the gym to the backyard and fell to his knees as he clenched the note in his hand.

He pounded the ground with his fists and he looked at the ground with anger before it cleared and he could start thinking of a plan.

"Don't worry, Misty. I'm coming to save you from them." said Ash, standing up and looking at the sky.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 1! Happy New Year and happy 8th anniversary to me!
