[Okay all, thank you for the reveiws im glad, that you people reveiwed. Thanks to: gladdecease, DaJollyMan, rainastar. and others who may have reveiwed... and hopefully this will answer you questions, the reason Misty has been warming up to Ash, is because she love's him, but just doesnt realize it. Also because of the drunken thing, it reminded her of what had happened to her as a child.]
Now onto the story...
Chapter 10: Devastating Memories
~~~~~~~~~The next morning~~~~~~~~ Brock opens his eyes, and notices that he was in the room where the party was held, last night. He looks around only to find that Misty and Ash are gone, and everyone else is still sleeping. So he decides to get up and look for them. As he begins to stand, his legs almost give out on him, so he starts to walk to the door; all wobbly like. Once he reaches the doors, he looks back to see if he woke anyone, but he didn't. So, he opened the doors and walked out. Once he reached the room where the bunks were, and their stuff, he opened the door to see Misty laying her head on Ash's chest, and Ash was just laying there on the bed with one hand around her waist and the other behind his head, and pikachu above them on Brock's bunk. Brock then left the room, and began to think *Finally, hmm.. But Misty seemed shocked when Ash said that she was his girlfriend, now why is that. I wonder. Oh well, as long as they're happy, but with the look on Misty's face as she sleeps, something is bugging her, what could it be. Ash seems pleased.* Brocks thoughts were interrupted when sumone tapped him on the shoulder, he turned to see that the person was Rudy. ~~~~~~~Brock and Rudy's convo~~~~~~~~ "Hello, Rudy." Brock said.
"Hey, Brock. Since when was Misty, Ash's boyfriend?" Rudy asked.
"Why are you jealous?"
"No, I'm not. I just dont want him to hurt her."
"What makes you think that will happen?"
"I have my reasons. Besides that did Misty ever mention anything to you about her past?" Rudy asked with a serious look on his face.
"No, she never did. But I always did wonder. Everytime she is quiet on our journey, she always seems to be into deep thought."
"Well, there is a rumor going around about her and her past."
"Lets, talk out here." They then walked into the front of the poke center, Brock closing the door.
"Okay, so there's a rumor going around about Misty? Now, that's different."
"Yes, I know. I recently heard it about a month ago back around my gym."
"So, it's been going around for awhile, presume?"
"Yes. I believe so."
"Maybe this has something to do with Misty acting strangely. When she is in deep thought and we interrupt her, she just says its nothing and forces small smiles onto her face." Brock says with depression.
"Misty is a complicated person to deal with."
"I know. I've traveled with her and Ash for along time now. I care for her. She's like a little sister to me. *Even though I have 10 brothers and sisters.*"
*Misty, I really do care for you.. It's just that I know you like Ash, possibly even love him. But you just dont realize you do. It may be to late by the time you realize your possible love for him.*Rudy thought. Then he looked up to Brock and began to say "The rumor starts out like this. When Misty was yo..." But was cut off when Tracey came up to them. ~~~~~~Brock and Rudy's convo still, just now with Tracey~~~~~~~ "Your talking about that rumor arn't you?" Tracey questioned.
"Yes, we are. Do you know something?" asked Rudy.
"I might know. Depends on what part of that rumor you are at." Tracey said with smirk.
"I was just about to tell Brock, but you interrupted us."
"Continue with your story, and I will tell you if you left out anything when your done."
"Okay, then.[Warning.. it aint all that much a rumor...its more so of a story...] When Misty was young, around the age of 6 or 7 she experienced so much pain. She was coming back from her uncles house, when she found her mother in the kitchen beaten badly and there was blood everywhere, Misty wasnt able to stand to see her mother like that, so she ran out of the house and into a near by forest to look for help, but before she got there by herself, a man grabbed her around the waist and forced her to the ground. She struggled so much, and he was like "If you dont want to do this, beat me in a battle. If I win, you have to do whatever I want, and if you win.. I wont kill you here and now. It will be a one-on-one match. Got It!?!!" Misty said "What if I dont want to?!" The man said "Then I will kill your mother, its not like she has anylife left. And your 3 sisters! It's not like you have a choice.!!" With that Misty kicked him in the stomach and then got up and kicked him in the jaw, she ran back to her house only to find that her mom wasnt there anymore, she didnt have time to see if her mother was alright, she looked around the hosue for her pokeballs and found 3 of them. She took staryu and and called him out and she saw the man running towards the house through her window, and yelled for staryu to do a Hydro pump and staryu did but it was countered with an electric attack, Misty [I guess you can say I got carried away with this. cant you? Well i have alot of things running through my head.] was shot back with her staryu, but jumped up and grabbed her bag, and noticed that her sisters were home. She ran into their rooms, and found them in Daisy's room. They were beaten, "Daisy, Lily, and Violet[thats her name rite?]! Come on we have to get out of here. NOW!" But she was cut off the yell of "Hey you! Come back here!! Heh,..Now ive got you.!" Misty looked back and recalled staryu, and then slid under the man and ran down the stairs, she ran out the door. As she ran it began to rain, she tripped and fell over a hill, and surprisingly she managed to get up and continue to run, "tears fell down my face, I refused to believe that my family was going to die at the hands of this man. But there was nothing I could do." Misty completed Rudy's story, while the boys looked up at her shockingly. Misty broke down crying. ~~~~~~~End of the 3's convo.~~~~~Now to Ash's POV~~~~ "Misty.." I said as I woke up. "Misty..Misty." I searched with my arms looking for her. I know i felt her get up, but didnt hear the door open nor close. *Where could she be?* I decided to sit up, but ended up hitting my head on the bunk above me, Pikachu came down and pointed to the door. "Pika, pi..chu." (Misty went out.) "Thank you, Pikachu." I said with a smile. I got up avoiding the bunk, and headed towards the front of the Poke Center, and saw Misty talking to Rudy, Brock and Tracey. I walked over to them, and they stopped talking when I aproached them. *It seemed like they didnt want me to know what they were saying,..* I just ignored the thought and sat down in a chair next to them. ~~~~End of Ash's POV~~~~~~ "Hi, Misty, Tracey, Brock, and Rudy." Ash said while sitting down.
"Whats up?" Tracey and Rudy said at the same time.
"Nothing, just wanting know where everyone went. Thats all."
"Well, were all here except Gary and Prof. Oak. I think they left earlier this morning to go back to do with what ever they were doing." Misty said plainly.
"Er..Ash what happened to your head?" Misty asked after noticing he had a bump.
"Uh..eh.. oh that, I bumped my head on the top bunk trying to get up."
