Ash's Mistake
This is the new final chapter of 'Ash's Mistake' with a possible alternate ending submission in the near future. Read on.
Ash's eyes slowly fluttered open. The sunlight creeping through the window had awaken him. He felt very warm and comfortable lying in bed. He hadn't felt this great in so long. The reason he felt so great, was because he was in bed with his life love, Misty. Ash knew now that Misty returned his feelings and that nothing could possibly pull Misty away from him…Right?
Misty's eyes opened now, as she had awaken. She looked up to see Ash's smiling face. "Ash?" she asked.
"Yeah, Mist." he answered, brushing hair out of her eyes.
"Wow…last night…that was…wow." was all she could say, sitting up next to Ash. "I know…" Ash replied, agreeing.
"I told you I didn't want things to end on bad terms. I hoped I proved my point." she said, taking one of the two blankets wrapped around her to get up, and grab her clothes.
"Uh…you don't want to just…lie in bed wishing you could stay like that forever?" Ash asked, a little sad, being left under the covers.
"I can't Ash. I have a fiancé." she said.
This broke Ash's heart at that moment. "Oh…your still…" he was cut short
"Have you seen my bra?" she asked. Ash reached under the pillow, and came back holding the bra. Misty took it from his hand.
'You can't lie in bed with me for a little while, but we can have sex?' Ash asked upset in his head 'Say that to her, no wait, she's talking now.'
"I'm surprised Rudy didn't come home last night. Unless he saw us." Misty began getting worried, stuffing all the clothes she wore the night before into a hamper, and finding new clothes.
"Did last night not mean anything to you?" Ash asked, feeling a little betrayed.
Misty stopped searching for clothes, and looked back to him. "Of course it did…" she said, moving towards the bed. Then she got down on it, and laid next to Ash, still covered in the blanket she had been clinging to her. "It meant a lot to me. But I can't just break off a wedding because of it." she told him, rubbing his cheeks.
Ash moved away from her, with a heart broken face. "Oh…"
"Sorry Ash…how can I put this? Say that your in the middle of some kind of Pokemon competition, ok? And then Professor Oak comes up to you with a flyer that says…that says… 'Pokemon Competition 2!' And your intrigued by it…but you can't just leave the competition that your already in. Please try and understand." Misty told him. Then she gave him a kiss on the forehead, and went back to finding her clothes.
"I guess I understand." he said, but not completely. "Though Professor Oak knows better than to mess with my head that way." he finished.
Misty changed into her clothes, while Ash was still in shock, lying on the bed. "Ash, you should get dressed too, Rudy might be home soon." she said, spraying air freshener can things all around the room. Ash found his clothing, put it on, and went into the living room, followed by Misty.
Ash walked out of the front door, and turned around to see Misty standing in the doorway. "Ash, listen to me. Promise me you wont tell anyone about last night? Keep it secret will you?" she asked him.
Ash looked DEEP into her amazing beautiful eyes, and answered her "All right." Then he turned to leave.
He felt a pull on his hands however, and was brought back in front of Misty. "Before you leave…a farewell kiss." she said. And she wrapped her arms around his neck, while he didn't place his hands anywhere. She pulled him into an even more amazing kiss than the one they shared last night.
"Do you love Rudy?" he asked.
"Yes." she responded.
"…Do you love me?"
Misty was silent for awhile before answering "Yes." she answered.
"I ask…because that kiss just now, felt so full of love. Love that can't even be described." he said, getting her teary eyed. But she decided to change the topic.
"Ash, where's Pikachu?" she asked.
"Uh-uh. don't try to change the conversation." he said.
"No, really, where is he?" she asked. Ash looked around
"Oh crap! I left Pikachu back at your aquarium!" he realized, and ran off back to the aquarium.
Misty watched as he ran off. "I love it when he does stupid things." she said, almost dreamily. "Something about it gets me kind of hot."
After picking up Pikachu from the aquarium, he got on the boat back to Pewter, or the place closest to there with a bay. "Pika pikachu pika?" Pikachu asked.
"No Pikachu…I obviously didn't win over Misty." he said upset.
"Chu?" Pikachu asked again.
"Well, I won OVER her in the physical act of love…but no! Pikachu that's not the point!" he yelled at his friend.
"Pi-ka-chu pi." Pikachu said (Translation: I'll shut up now)
The boat had arrived Ash and Pikachu headed to Brock's house. He rang Brock's doorbell once again. Brock opened the door, and immediately knew of Ash's results. Based on Ash's sad expression…and no Misty around. "Failed?" he asked.
"Yeah…but I got close." he said. Then Brock welcomed him in, and once again brought him to the couch.
"Hey, Brock. Where's Jeanie?" Ash asked.
"She's at work." Brock told him.
"And you aren't there because…?" Ash asked.
"Because I'm sick. Got the cold." Brock told him, taking a drink of 7UP. "So why didn't you win her over. Does she really love Rudy?" he asked, taking another drink.
"Well if marriage is a sign of real love, than yes." Ash answered sadly.
"She's getting married?!" Brock spilled his 7UP with his jump. "Crap." he said, wiping the sticky soda off the coffee table with a napkin. "When are they getting married? How? What…?" Brock was confused.
"Does it matter?" Ash said loudly. "I'm not gonna go anyways. So there's no reason to know." he said lying down on the couch.
"Well maybe I want to go." Brock said, before getting up off his chair, and going into the kitchen.
"Why would you go?" Ash asked him, upset in tone.
"Misty's my friend. That's why." Brock answered from the kitchen. Then he returned to sit on the couch with a new glass of 7UP.
"Can't lay bed but getting some right hi yuck." Ash mumbled.
"What?" Brock asked.
"Nothing."
"Come on Ash tell me!" Brock was getting frustrated at his friend.
"I can't tell you." Ash told him, covering his face with one of the couch pillows.
"Why not?" Brock asked him, getting very interested in what he couldn't tell him.
"Because Misty promised me not to tell anyone." Ash said, rolling over to face the back of the couch.
"But friends tell each other everything." Brock said, getting impatient.
"Well all right, because you're one of my best friends." Ash said. "Well I told Misty I loved her…then…then she kissed me." Ash said.
"She did?" Brock asked, stunned.
"Yeah…and then she lead me to her bedroom, and it just…it just happened…" Ash said, emotionally, caught up in the memory.
"…And what just happened?" Brock asked. Ash threw his face-covering pillow at Brock.
"I'm kidding…and she still didn't break off the wedding?" Brock asked.
"No…she did, I just came over here to tell you real quick, and then go all the way back there to get some more." Ash said sarcastically.
"This pain has brought out some awful sarcasm in you." Brock said, feeling hurt by Ash's words.
"Really? I thought it was bringing out all the colors of emotion!" Ash yelled, taking another pillow from the couch and throwing it at the wall.
The pillow hit a photo in a frame up on the wall, and caused it to fall off it's hooked position. The photo crashed to the floor, and all the glass shattered in the frame.
"Ash! You broke my favorite picture!" Brock yelled at him, running over to the mess.
"I thought your favorite pictures were in Playboy mags." Ash said, continuing his mean and unnecessary taunts.
"Ash! If your gonna act like this. I want you out of my house, now!" Brock yelled, pointing towards the exit.
"Fine! I don't need you! I have a Pokemon thing to get to." he said, and ran for the exit, along with a crying Pikachu, and then ran down the street…to no where.
Brock left the pile of broken glass to go get a broom from the kitchen. The photo is revealed as him, Ash, and Misty all by the side of a river. All their pokemon are playing, the ones they had at that time. It was an obvious photo from the first journey. Brock was petting Onix's chin, while Ash is sitting by the river. Pikachu getting squirted with water by Starmie. And Misty is sitting on a rock, reaching out to pet Geodude. And Team Rocket is in the background, clinging to their balloon.
Ash got back to his home in Pallet after three AM that night. He didn't want to talk to anyone, not even his own mother. He packed his bags to head off to take on the Elite 4. He walked into his mother's room to see her before he left. He went over to her bed, leaned down, and kissed her cheek. "Goodbye Mom…hopefully when I get back…I'll have a new girl with me that you can call a future Mrs. Ketchum." he whispered, and then picked up his bags, and headed towards the door.
"But…AAML." he heard his mom say, her eyes still closed. He stopped in his tracks, right at the door. "it lives forever…you can't let it die." she continued.
Ash turned around to see her. 'She's sleep talking.' he realized "It's died Mom, and it's not coming back." he told her. Then he walked out the door, and shut it behind him.
Ash gathered Pikachu, all his poke'balls, a donut and left the house. He didn't want to walk all the way there again, so he decided to take the easier way. He stopped in Viridian City to rent a car…then he was on his way to the Elite Four.
Ash pulled up in a very fancy location near the Indigo Plateau. He got out of the car with Pikachu, and gazed up at the tall building. He whistled his 'whoa' whistle and started for the main building.
He walked in through the sliding doors, and up to the front counter. "Hello Sir, may I help you?" she asked, already typing on her computer.
"Yeah, I'm Ash Ketchum, and-" she interrupted him
"Ash Ketchum? Thee Ash Ketchum. The Ash that saved the world multiple times Ketchum?" she asked, surprised.
"Yeah, that's me." he said, blushing.
"You're a lot cuter in person than you are on TV." she said, giggling.
"Thanks." he continued blushing.
"So you were saying." she reminded him.
"Oh, well I was eligible to come here after passing in the Baliston Melee and fight for the chance to take on the Elite 4." he explained.
"Ok, let me get you entered here in the computer…after you show me proof that you passed the Bali-thing Melee." she told him.
Ash reached into his pocked, and took out the medal, and gave it to her. "Ok, and now give me your number…I mean give me your poke'dex." she corrected herself, blushing. Ash did as told, and she scanned it into the computer. "Ok, you're all entered now. Here's your key card for you room." she said, handing him his key card, with the room number and everything.
"Thanks a lot." he said, and headed off to his room.
Ash dropped all his luggage off at his room, and decided to go tour the Elite Four facility with Pikachu. Afterwards, he came back to go to sleep.
Ash woke up the next morning, and began preparing for the first day of the Elite 4 challenge tournament. A tourney that determines who will face the Elite 4 that year. After laying out his clothes for the tournament, he went to take a shower. Pikachu just starred out the window, as they had a view of the pool, from a very high spot in the hotel.
Ash had finished his shower, and gotten dressed to go down and eat breakfast. He and Pikachu headed for the door, and just as Ash was about to open it, there was a knock. He opened it, and a man in a nice suit was standing there. "Uh…yeah?" Ash answered.
"I have an envelope for you, Sir." the man said, handing it to him.
"Thanks." Ash thanked him, and went back inside to get a look at it.
The envelope was addressed to him…from…from Misty. Ash knew what kind of mail it was, especially when he opened up the envelope. It was a fancy card, with a man and a woman on the cover. Each dressed nicely. He opened up the card, it read "You are invited to the wedding of Rudy Manson and Misty Waterflower. The wedding will take place on: August 25th(In a couple days), at the Cerulean City Gym, at 4 PM. Please be there. "Please Ash" an extra note said in handwriting.
Ash took the envelope, and the card, and tossed it in the garbage. He was about to head back out, when he couldn't take it any longer. He wanted to write a note to Misty, letting her know how he feels once more. "Do not open this in front of anyone. Private!" he wrote on the cover of the envelope, and then began writing on a piece of lined paper.
Ash took the envelope with the letter inside, down stairs to the outgoing mail box, dropped it off, and went to get breakfast.
The letter arrived at Misty's home on Trovita Island. We see hands take the envelope with the letter inside and take it to the coffee table in the living room. "Do not open this in front of anyone. Private!" it read. The hands rip it open, and take out the letter…
"Dear Misty, Misty…I can't stop thinking about you since that night. I have never stopped thinking about you since we met. But now your constantly on my mind. I love you. And I can't believe you would carry on with the wedding now that we slept together. So your telling me that we made LOVE for nothing? I thought that was a symbol of our love. Please Misty…look in your heart, maybe you'll see the right path…love Ash." the letter read.
The hands crumple of the letter, and we see that it was Rudy reading the letter. "Hmm…we could use this to our advantage." Rudy thought.
The next day after Ash beat another victim in a pokemon battle, he went to grab a bite to eat…with the girl from the front counter. "You were amazing today." she complemented him.
"Thanks." he said, stuffing his face with fries.
"I bet your amazing in bed too." she said very quietly.
"Whatch you say?" Ash said with his mouth full of French fries.
"I said…I bet you will be amazing tomorrow too." she covered her statement.
"Of course I will." he said, stuffing his face further. "Hey…I don't even know your name." Ash realized.
"It's Shadow…but I go by Shauna." she told him, taking a sip of wine from her glass. "Shadow? That's an interesting name." he said.
"Really? I've always kind of hated it." she admitted.
"Just because there's an evil hedgehog named after you?" Ash asked.
"No…and who are you talking about?" she asked him.
"Shadow the hedgehog." he said. She giggled
"You're funny Ash." she complemented his humor.
"Uh thanks, even though I wasn't trying to be funny." he admitted, rubbing the back of his head with one of his hands, and then stuffing his face with a bite of his burger with the other hand. After the meal was over, and Ash had paid for it, the two walked into the hotel.
"So where do you sleep?" Ash asked her, as they walked up to the elevator to go to Ash's room.
"It's on the same floor as your room." she lied.
"Oh yeah? Well let's go." he said, and they got into the elevator. They reached the floor, and got out, and walked down the hall towards their rooms.
Ash stopped at his room "Well I had fun tonight, thanks." Ash said.
"You too." she said, which didn't make sense, and kept on walking passed his room. "Wait." he said. She turned around, and walked back to him.
"Yeah…" she answered.
"Would you like to come in?" he asked.
"Ok." she quickly answered.
Ash placed the key card in it's slot and the two walked in. Pikachu was asleep on a pillow on the bed. "What a cutie." Shauna said, taking a seat on the bed.
"Nothing cuter." he said, sitting beside her.
"Well I'm not sure if that's true…what about me?" Shauna asked.
"Well…your pretty cute too. I mean you look-" Ash was interrupted as Shauna got off the bed and walked over to the trash can.
"What's this?" she asked, taking the wedding invitation out of the can.
"Um…that's just an invitation." he said, getting depressed.
"What's it doing in the garbage?" she asked.
"Not going to that wedding." he replied
"Why not? Is this a good friend of yours?" she asked him.
"Was a good friend. But she betrayed me."
"What did she do?" Shauna asked.
"She and I were suppose to be together. But she's obviously getting married to another guy." Ash said, lying backwards on his bed.
"Why aren't you two together?" Shauna asked him, lying down beside him.
"Does it matter? Your already here in my room. Can we just…you know?" Ash asked, turning on his side to face her.
"I'm a woman, and talking comes first in my book." she said, also rolling on to her side to face him.
Ash sighed. "Fine. If you must know…I guess it's kind of my fault." Ash realized as he was telling her.
"How so?" she asked.
"She told me how she felt about me. And I blew her off basically. I abandoned her when the opportunity to have her came up. It's pretty much my fault." he told her.
"Mmm-hmm. You know what I think you should do?" Shauna said
"What?" Ash asked, feeling very depressed.
"I think you should go to the wedding. If you don't…you'll just be blowing off her friendship too. You don't want to do that do you? She still deserves your friendship at least." Shauna told him.
"Guess your right." Ash replied. "Can we still…you know?" Ash asked her, placing a hand on her hip.
"Actually…it's late." she said, looking at the clock on the wall. "And you have to get up early to catch your flight."
"But last minute tickets cost a lot of money." he said.
"Don't worry about it. The hotel has you covered." she said, getting off the bed and walking towards the door.
"But how can-" he was interrupted as she told him to "Shh" and walked out the door.
Ash sighed and fell back on the bed again, and closed his eyes.
"Can you believe it? The wedding is in just a couple days." Misty realized. Both she and Rudy sat at the kitchen table, going over all the wedding stuff.
"Ok, so I have everyone's response to the wedding invitations." Misty said, sorting through them.
"Good." Rudy replied, happily.
"Except…except…" Misty said sadly.
"Except what?" Rudy asked, rubbing her hand.
"I don't have Ash's response." she said, double checking the responses.
"Oh, maybe this is his response." Rudy said, reaching into his pocket, and returning with a piece of paper.
"This came in the mail. It's addressed to you from Mr. Ketchum." he told her, and handing the piece of paper to her.
"Oh, thanks!" she unfolded the paper.
Misty's smile grew bigger when she read what was on the note. "But he still has to come. He just has to. Otherwise this is all for nothing." she said, tears forming in her eyes.
Just then the phone rang. Rudy got up and answered the phone. "Hello?" he answered.
"Who is it? Is it-" Misty tried asking, but Rudy shushed her.
"Yes. Oh? Really? That's great! Ok..thanks. Bye. See you at the wedding." he put the phone down.
"He's…" Misty got up from her chair, hope in her eyes.
"He's…coming to the wedding." Rudy told her the great news. She jumped into his arms and they hugged.
Ash woke up in his hotel bed, and stretched. He got up to take a shower, and then got dressed.
After getting dressed, he sat on the edge of his bed for twenty minutes…thinking about his life, the tournament, his future…and Misty. Pikachu jumped up onto the bed, and sat by his side. "Pika pi? Pikachu pika?" Pikachu asked.
"I'm just thinking, Pikachu." Ash said, petting his head.
"Pika pika chu?" Pikachu tugged on Ash's shirt sleeve.
"I'm just thinking about what I should do with the tournament, my life, stuff like that." Ash responded.
"Pikachu pika pika pi! Chu!" Pikachu shouted.
"Are you saying I should do what my heart tells me?" Ash asked. Pikachu nodded his head. "All right…then I better get started." he said, and he went for the door along with Pikachu…but then he stopped…turned around…and walked back into the heart of his room.
We see Brock dressed in a tuxedo, and Jeanie dressed in a red strapless dress get out of a car, and walk up to the Cerulean Gym, where they're greeted by Rudy. "Hey, Brock, Jeanie. Welcome."
"I can just feel the excitement growing with the minute." Brock said.
"I know. I can't wait. But in the mean time the rehearsal dinner is about to start." Rudy said, and placed his arm around Brock, and the other around Jeanie, and lead them into the gym.
Misty meanwhile was in a dressing room, as her sisters helped her put on the beautiful blue wedding dress. "You look fabulous, Misty." Daisy complemented her.
"Like, I totally agree." Lilly happily said.
"Thanks you guys." she said, standing on the small stool/platform thing. Violet began to cry.
"What's wrong, Violet?" Misty asked, frowning. "I can't believe your actually gonna go through with this. But I can't wait to see his reaction." Violet let out, and began crying more.
Misty began to laugh. "Come on Violet, let's go get you some chocolate." Daisy said, leading her out of the dressing room, along with Lilly.
Misty stepped off the platform and up to the mirror. Then she took the stool, and threw it at the mirror, shattering it into pieces. She was frustrated. "Am I doing the right thing?" she asked her self. "It seems kind of evil to do…but I cant stop now. And plus he had it coming to him." she said.
"It's right down the hall, then take a left, and you should be able to find it." Shauna gave directions to a man. He stepped away from the counter, and revealed Ash standing behind him.
"Ash. Hey." she greeted him. "What are you doing with all that luggage?" she asked, seeing that he was holding his bags.
"Well that's what I came to talk to you about." he started "…I'm quitting the tournament." he said.
Shauna went from happy, to stunned. "Quitting? How can you quit? If you win today, you'll be able to go take on the Elite 4." she tried to tell him, coming around the corner, and got up in his face.
"There's nothing for me to fight for." he said "now if you don't record that I'm quitting, I'll get on to the computer and do it my self." he said.
"What do you mean you don't have anything to fight for?" she asked him.
"…No friends…no life love…no desire." he responded.
She was still and silent for a moment, before going back behind the counter, and inserting the data he gave her. "You know this might be your only shot at this right?" she asked him.
"I know…and I'm fine with it…because I'm retiring." he announced.
She was even more stunned. She looked up from the monitor, but Ash was not there. She looked to the exit, where Ash was walking out of, with Pikachu following.
Ash walked out into the forest, about five miles deep, before stopping in a meadow. "Pika?" Pikachu was confused to where they were going.
"Ok buddies…time to come out." Ash said, throwing all of his poke'balls. All of his starting pokemon came out.
Charizard, Snourlax, Sceptile, Swellow, and Bayleaf were the pokemon. They all made their pokemon noises when coming out. "Hey guys." Ash greeted them. They all turned their attention to him, and once again made their pokemon noises.
"We've been through a lot together, haven't we?" he asked, all the pokemon looking at each other nervously. "Well I have some good news and some bad news to make to you." he announced.
All the pokemon sat down in a circle, Ash being in the middle. "The bad news first…I've officially retired as a pokemon trainer." he managed to spit out, in a tone that was a 'I can't believe I'm saying this tone.' All the pokemon were silent.'
"But the good news is…" he stopped to wipe a tear from his eye "…the good news is…I'm setting you all free. You can go out into the forest, and begin your new life. This is a sanctuary, so you'll never have to take orders from humans again. When I get back home I'll tell Professor Oak he can continue taking care of all my pokemon there, or release them here with you." Ash said very emotionally.
The pokemon were still silent. They didn't know what to say…except their names. "Char?" Charizard asked.
"For reals. I want you to all leave…now." he said, closing his eyes, and pointing. All the pokemon stood up. They all starred at Ash, all of them teary eyed. The pokemon knew better to argue with him though. He had retired, they would not change his mind. This was probably for the best they all thought.
All of his pocket monsters ran up to him, and gave him a big hug, Snourlax the last one, picking them all up in his grip. Ash started laughing like he did back in his journey days. After sharing a laugh with his friends one last time, they all turned, and marched into the forest. Ash waved goodbye as they left, and until they were out of sight.
Ash looked down to his first pokemon, Pikachu. "Pikachu…it's your turn. Though you should have went with the others, it would have made it easier." he told him. Pikachu gave Ash a questioned look. "Go on." he said
"Pi!" Pikachu argued. "No? No, yes." Ash fought with him.
"Pika pikachu pika pikachu pika pi!" Pikachu yelled to his master.
"Come on Pikachu, you'll have a better life out there. You can find a life partner and make baby pikachu's." Ash told him.
"Pi!!!" Pikachu screamed.
"Yes! You have to!" Ash yelled, tears escaping his eyes. Pikachu let tears flow too.
"Go! Go-go-go-go-go!" Ash yelled, pointing to the direction the other pokemon went. Pikachu gave Ash a light shock, but powerful enough to knock him on his back.
Pikachu jumped on to his master's stomach, and hugged him tightly, shouting it's name, and crying. "Pikachu…" Ash quietly said, letting more tears flow, and hugging his only friend left, tightly.
Hold up...
hold on...
don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
Ash and Pikachu walked through the wilderness at nightfall. The two had found a hill, centered beneath a clearing. They went over and laid down on the hill, looking up at the sky, and the full moon.
May your smile...
Shine on...
Don't be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm.
Cos all of the stars are fading away
Just try not to worry you'll see them some day
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Get up...
Come on...
why you scared
You'll never change what been and gone
Cos all of the stars are fading away
Just try not to worry you'll see them some day
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out …("Stop Crying Your Eyes Out" by Oasis)
The day of the wedding…
Misty had been helped into her wedding dress once again by her sisters. When they asked what happened to the mirror, she told them it shattered when it couldn't bear their reflections anymore. Then they told her that she's gonna have some serious bad luck now.
Misty was sitting up against the wall again, the same spot she was the previous day. She couldn't stop thinking about Ash. She wasn't feeling angry at him, she missed him deeply. She couldn't get him off her mind, and just twenty minutes before she would march down the isle to marry Rudy.
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
Youre beggin me to go, youre makin me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had?
Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you why
But Im trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
Misty got up from her spot, and walked out of the dressing room, and to a window. She looked out side, and saw that it began to rain. A tear escaped each of her eyes.
Were losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
Theres no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, youll need me to hold
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing('Love is a Battlefield' by Pat Benatar)
Misty walked away from the window, and down the hall. But Ash…he was still on her mind
Everyone sat in the bleachers of the gym, the wedding was to take place on the floating platforms on the water. Rudy stood there on the 'alter' checking his watch. Brock stood next to him, playing the role as best man.
"Where is that son of yours?" Sam asked Delia.
"I don't know. But if he doesn't show up soon he's going to be in big trouble." she said, grounding him in her mind.
Everyone was at the wedding, just about anyone whose ever come in contact with Ash and Misty during their journey were there.
The wedding theme music began playing. Everyone turned their attention to the tunnel where Misty would be coming out of. She eventually emerged, and walked towards the floating alter in the water.
She now stood facing Rudy. The minister began speaking. "We are gathered here today…"
Meanwhile we pan outside to see the gym…it's peaceful. But the peace is ruined as Ash blazes by, and runs into the gym.
When he got inside he saw that the minister was practically finished. "You may now kiss the bride." he said. Everyone in the audience was completely silent. Misty nor Rudy made the move to kiss each other.
"Misty!" Ash called out, and ran through the tunnel and to the platform. The audience erupted with cheering as he ran out.
"Thank god." Misty placed a hand over her heart.
"Don't marry this guy, Mist." he told her.
Brock smiled as he watched the scene unfold. "And why shouldn't I?" she asked.
"Because…you don't love him. You love me." he said.
The people in the bleachers were hooked on every word.
"That's not the reason." she said.
"It's not?" he asked, confused.
"No. that's only half of it. The other half must be said now…before it's too late." she told him and winked.
"Uh…Misty…I love you. I've loved you since I met you. No girl, no person has had quite the impact you've had on me in my life time. And no one else ever will be able to replace you. When I left you for those two years, it was the biggest mistake of my life. Actually that was the second biggest mistake of my life." he corrected him self.
"What was your biggest mistake?" she asked him, tears streaming down her cheeks. Brock and Rudy smiled, also being over taken by the emotion.
"My biggest mistake was not telling you how I felt before I left you. When you told me you were in love with me, I wanted to tell you. But I wasn't thinking. I am now, baby. And I love you and I promise to tell you how I feel from now on." he said, taking hold of her hands.
"Kiss me." she ordered.
"But, wont Rudy get kind of mad?" he asked, looking over to an angry Rudy.
"Don't care. Kiss me…like a horny teen." she said. He shrugged and kissed her.
Everyone began cheering. Brock, Rudy, and even the minister clapped. His poke'mon, including Pikachu and the ones he releases earlier emerged on to the floor and joined in on cheering.
When the kiss stopped, he looked around and saw everyone cheering…but he soon realized that this was quite odd. "Um…why is everyone cheering for us when your suppose to be marrying someone else?" Ash asked, extremely confused.
"Because this was a set up." Rudy replied.
"Huh?" Ash turned around to face him.
"Let Misty explain." he told him.
"Explain…what?" Ash was even more confused than he's ever been in his life.
"Well Ash, I had to get you back. I wanted you to prove that you were really in love with me. I wanted you to feel the pain that I felt." she told him.
"Huh?" he was still confused.
"This was all a set up. Rudy and I were never going to be married. This was all fake. Sekura is his real girlfriend, and she was in on it too." Misty explained.
"No way." Ash shook his head in disbelief.
"Everyone here was in on it. Your mom, Brock, Jeanie, even this girl over here." Misty said, and Shauna emerged from the tunnel.
Ash's jaw dropped.
"Pika pika." Pikachu jumped up and down.
"Your pokemon were in on it." Misty explained further.
"So I cant trust anyone?" Ash asked, stunned.
"I just wanted you to prove your love. And we had a lot of free time on our hands." she said, trying to hold in her laughter.
"I think I need to lie down." he said, falling on the floor, and sat there.
Misty took a seat beside him. "Sorry, Ashy." she said, kissing him on the cheek.
"You were all pretty convincing." he said, as everyone gathered around him.
"This will teach you the consequences of your mistakes. If there is a moral here, it's that." she said.
Ash sighed, and kissed his new girlfriend, for even though everything was fake, his new relationship was not.
Sorry for the cheap ending, if you thought it was cheap. If you didn't like this new revised ending, let me know in your review, cuz I have an alternate ending(the original ending) that I will post up if your interested. But I wanted this one to end happy…for now. Read my other stories and such. See ya for now.
