Misty: :: in mind: Ok Ash… I will. ::
Episode 19
Dear Diary,
I'm starting anew with this journal that Ash got for me. It really was a nice gesture. Ash, if one day we're reading this together, I just wanted to let you know that I will treasure this book forever. It really is pretty! I love the Staryu and Starmie background! And there's a Squirtle at the bottom of each page!
We were still trying to leave Porta Vista, but we missed our ferry. We were caught in between a feud with the Tentacool and Nestina. Ash, do you remember? She was trying to bribe us with food, vouchers and money! I felt disgusted that I was even offered such prizes under one condition: to exterminate the Tentacool. I would never stoop so low, even if I wasn't a water pokemon trainer.
I tried reasoning with that gigantic Tentacruel, and in the end, everything worked out alright. I even got a new pokemon: Horsea! I guess I'm a hypocrite now since I technically didn't "catch" it, just like you, Ash. Pikachu did a great job helping out as well! I wish I could have caught a Tentacool. They're really such majestic creatures of the sea. Those Ruby-like jewels on their head, their beauty only matches the great blue-green ocean.
As I'm writing this all down, since you were wondering when I reserve some time to jot down my adventures, we're on the boat and you're playing with a battle simulator while Brock's trying once again, to get with this girl. She is pretty, oh, Brock just got slapped. Usually, this is when I would jump in and pull him by the ears, but this is more important. It seems that you're winning. I really don't like simulators. They don't accurately predict the outcomes of a real-life battle. So don't get it over your head if you win, Ash Ketchum!
Episode 20
Dear Diary,
Ash, if you're reading this, HOW DARE YOU CALL ME SCRAWNY! YOU EVEN EMPHASIZED ON IT BY SAYING "REALLY SCRAWNY".
Later that day…
Brock didn't come back last night. We wanted to go and bring him back from Maiden's Peak, but Nurse Joy didn't let us leave. I hope he's alright. I'm so worried about him, that I can't even concentrate.
The following night…
We had just gotten back from the festival! It was so much fun! Brock spent the whole time moping over that maiden who turned out to be a Gastly. I was dancing with Ash and Pikachu. It seemed that Ash had a dumbfounded look on his face when he saw me with my yuntaka on. Only this time, he didn't insult me. There were Taiko drums and lanterns that were sent downstream. It was truly a gorgeous night. I had a really fun time with him.
(Sidenote: A Yunkata is a girl's version of a Kimono usually worn for festivals)
Episode 21
Dear Diary,
Right now, we're all sitting by the end of the shore. We had just parted ways with Butterfree. It was such a romantic day. We came across the Butterfree's mating site earlier. That's when Ash decided to let his Butterfree go in search for its true love. I felt bad for it because it kept getting rejected by this one pink Butterfree. Team Rocket got involved and almost ruined everything. But Ash's Butterfree saved the day! (With a little help from Pikachu…)
As I was encouraging Ash's Butterfree to fight for his true love, I started to ponder about myself. I wonder if I'll have to fight for my perfect mate. I wonder if Ash is thinking the same way. Pfft, I doubt it. Ash felt more like a father who needed to help his son find a wife. Ash was so mature today, it really surprised me. Although he was very upset when Butterfree said goodbye, he handled it well. I would be upset too if I had to give up the first pokemon that I ever caught. Don't worry, Ash. I'm sure that we'll see it again. They're going to make such cute babies.
Next stop: Saffron city.
Episode 22
Dear Diary,
For a second, I thought we were lost. We found this little girl who, for some reason, led us to Saffron city. We were tricked by Team Rocket while they were disguised as Hawaiian dancers. They said that since were the millionth visitor, we get to claim a grand prize. They led us to this warp tile area and took Pikachu! But then the little girl returned with Pikachu in her arms.
We were then teleported to the entrance of Sabrina's gym. There were these people training their telekinetic powers. When Ash faced Sabrina, it was like no other gym battle he's faced before. She used an Abra and with her eyes, was controlling it. Pikachu stood no chance, especially after Abra evolved to a Kadabra. Ash forfeited the match.
It even got worse. Instead of being teleported back to Saffron city, we were sent to the little girl's dollhouse! Brock thought that the pieces of cake were real, but when he bit into it, it turned out to only be plastic. Some strange man that we met before appeared and teleported us back to Saffron city. He warned us not to face Sabrina again, and to leave as soon as possible. Ash, being as stubborn as he is, begged and pleaded with the man to help him find a way to defeat Sabrina. That man even dropped Ash's pants and made him dance! (I swear I didn't see anything!)
Right now we're at the Pokemon center, waiting for Pikachu to fully recover. Brock went to the PokeMart to pick up the supplies that we need. Ash went to the cafeteria to pick us up dinner. Looks like we'll be traveling in the night, so my job is to prepare all of our sleeping bags. It's nice when we all work together. Well, until the next entry!
Episode 23
Dear Diary,
Right now, Ash is inside the "Tower of Terror" while Brock and I are waiting for him outside. It was very creepy before. We were hearing screams and decided to investigate. All of a sudden, the dinnerware was starting to float around. We were so freaked out that we ran outside. I guess the ghost pokemon didn't like us.
Misty stops writing in her journal
Misty: :: talking to Brock: Ash is taking too long. I think we better go in see how he's doing.
Brock: That's a good idea.
Misty: Huh:: turns around ::
Brock: What's wrong, Misty?
Misty: I just thought I heard a voice…
Misty was suddenly lifted from her waist
Misty: AHHH!
Brock: MISTY!
Misty: HELP!! THE GHOST POKEMON GOT MEEEEE!!!!!!!
After landing…
Misty: Wait a minute! That voice… I think something terrible has happened to Ash! :: she collected her things from the floor and ran into the tower with Brock ::
Misty: Ash!? Pikachu:: laying out their bodies a few feet from the chandelier ::
Brock: Wake up…
Misty: Oh Ash! Can't you hear me!?
Brock: Please, say something.
Misty: Ash! Open your eyes, please Ash!
Ash :: opening his eyes :: Hi Misty…
Misty: Huh? You're alive!
Pikachu: Pika?
Brock: Pikachu!
Ash: Hey guys! Sorry to worry you.
Brock: No sweat. Glad to have you back!
Misty:: wiping her tears :: smiles :: in mind: Thank goodness you're ok, Ash. ::
Just before everyone woke up in the morning…
Ash was ok! When Brock and I found him, he was out cold. We dragged his body out and try to wake him up. I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose you, Ash. Please, don't ever scare me like that again.
Misty stopped writing in her journal, and started to wake everyone up.
