Day 4: Protecting Each Other
"Ugh!" Misty groaned for the upteenth time, this afternoon.
Ash rolled his eyes and said, "Oh come on Mist! It's not that bad!"
"Pika!" The yellow rodent said, while Brock and the Maple siblings watched them walking ahead.
The group of teens, save Max, were heading towards Cerulean City, near to which Ash's first match for battle frontier was awaiting. At present, they are walking through the Viridian forest. And it seems like our Gym Leader wasn't at all happy.
"Easy for you to say!" Misty argued.
"What's wrong in walking through the forest, Misty? We have walked through a lot of them! Unless...you are afraid of the bug pokemon!" Ash snickered.
"I am not afraid of them! I just don't like them! They are all creepy and slimy and gross. And unlike you, they are attracted to me! I mean it do make any sense! I thought pokemon could sense the emotions of people who like them or not!"
"Trust me Mist, they do."
"Then why do they come to me!?"
"Maybe because they like teasing you!" And with that Ash burst out laughing. The other companions also chuckled at this.
But, after seeing the frown on her face, Ash stopped laughing and his features softened.
"Don't worry Mist, I will protect you. We will not let any bug come near you. Right guys?" He assured her.
"Pika!"
"Right!" May and Max said
"Ash is right Misty. If you don't like them then will make sure they don't tease you." Brock said chuckling.
"Gee thanks guys. That makes me feel a lot safer." She said sarcastically.
"Let's go now." Ash said as they walked ahead.

They were in the middle of the forest now and were taking a break after a long walk.
"Ow! My feet hurt." May whined.
"Don't worry May, we will rest here for half an hour. Then you might walk again." Brock said as he handed her the bottle of water.
Ash and Misty were sitting beside each other on a log talking about their experiences in the past year. Pikachu and Azurill were playing around.
Max was looking through his pokenav while walking and walked straight into a tree.
"Max! Can't you see where you are going!" May scolded
"Sorry May." He apologised.
Suddenly there was sound of trees ruffling and buzzing.
"Hey, do you guys hear that too?" Max asked.
Within a moment, a swarm of beedril came down from the tree. And they were not looking happy. At. All.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Misty shrieked as soon as she saw the 'bugs'. This caught their attention and the looked at them.
"Run." was the only word that came out of Ash's mouth and they scattered. Ash grabbed Misty's hand and pulled her with him, Pikachu and Azurill following behind. While May, Max and Brock ran the other way. But, only a few followed them, while most followed Ash and Misty's trail.
They ran and ran and ran, but the beedrils were still following.
"They are still following us Ash!" Misty yelled.
"I know Misty, just run!" He said.
They ran into clearing, only to come at a dead end.
"Crap!" Ash cursed.
"What are we gonna do now!?" Misty asked more than scared.
Ash whipped around and saw the beedrils coming towardstheir way. He put a protective arm around her and said, "Don't worry Mist. I won't let them hurt you."
Seeing them, the beedrils shot pin misilles at them.
Ash turned around to face Misty and put his arms beside her as all the attacks collided at his back. He groaned in pain.
"Ash, what are you doing!?"
"P-protecting y-you!"
"Ash..."
The beedrils stopped for a moment and Ash fell on his knees.
"Ash!" Misty shrieked as she held him.
"Pikapi!"
Seeing this as the right moment Ash said weakly, "P-Pikachu hit t-them with a-all that you've g-got."
Pikachu understanding the heat of the moment shot out a powerful wave of
thunder at the bees.
It hit each and every one of them. The bees groaned in pain and flew away buzzing in their defeat.
Pikachu collapsed beside Ash, exhausted.
"G-Good job buddy."
"Thanks Pikachu."
Misty layed Ash on the ground and lifted his head and placed in her lap.
"Why did you do that you idiot? Look what happened to you"
"Its nothing Mist. I was just protecting you."
"Dummy."
Suddenly they heard a loud voice.
"Rooaaarrrr!"
An Ursaring came in sight of them. It had seen the large amount of yellow light of thunder and it seemed that it was woken up from his sleep.
Ash started to get up but Misty pushed him down.
"I will take care of this." She said.
"But Mis-" Ash began to argue.
"No buts, you're hurt and I am going to protect you now."
She tossed a pokeball in the air, "Misty calls Gyarados!"
The light died down and the giant blue atrocious, serpent like pokemon appeared.
"ROOAAARRRR!"
Seeing this the Ursaring prepared it's hyperbeam.
But Misty knew what to do.
"Gyarados Hyperbeam!"
The two hyperbeams collided with each other and smoke filled in the area.
"Gyarados Twister!"
The water formed a twister and the smoke disappeared and the Ursaring was coughing.
"Flamethrower!"
Gyarados shot a powerful Flamethrower and hit the bear directly in the torso and it groaned in pain.
"HYPERBEAM!"
The hyperbeam hit the Ursaring and it flew out of sight.
Misty sighed and thanked Gyarados, "Return! Have a rest."
"Y-You were great Mist." Ash complimented her.
"Pikachu!"
"Azu!" The blue ball bounced beside her.
She looked down at Ash and he smiled, "Thank you Misty for saving me."
"No Ash, thank you for saving me from the swarm of beedrils back there and taking the pain yourself." Misty said.
"Misty, no matter what I will always protect you. But, you were my heroine back there."
She blushed and grinned, "And I you, my hero."
And they stayed there waiting for others to find them.
XOX
So there's that. Like I said, I am really sorry for the delay, but next time I won't, I promise.
