Disclaimer: none of this is mine but the story!

Note: ok so you should get the hint that I'm not the biggest May fan...urgh! They should have just kept Misty! Lol I'm a big A/M lover. Ok so anyways ages Ash is 14, Misty (who now is revealed) is 16, Brock is 17 and I'm not even going to metion May or Max since they can die...(lol sorry if you like them). And I'm really surprised people actually read and liked my fic! Oh and to one person I do plan to make this an A/M fic. Yay! So for you all who liked the story...here's chapter 2!

A Forgotten Face

Ch. 2 Confrontation

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Misty..."

"Chaa..."

Although Brock didn't say anything, his faced showed it. All three Pikachu, Brock, and Ash stood in awe.

Wow...is this really Misty? She's...gorgeous

"Ash, who is this?" May received a cold hard glare from Misty.

"A very old friend..."

Is that all I am to you Ash? Just a friend?

Misty felt something small and hot run down her face...a tear. She couldn't have Ash see her cry, not now. Misty did what she could only think of...to run. With her cloak and hair billowing behind her, Togetic at her feet, she started at a sprint towards a nearby forest where no one would be able to find her. Ash was just speechless.

Why was she crying?

He remembered how May had cut in.

Oh God...

"WAIT! MISTY!" He had started chasing her.

"Ash! Wa-" May was stopped by an arm. An arm belonging to Brock. She looked up to see his face and couldn't read it. There were so many emotions on his face to really specify what he was feeling. Though she could tell it had to do with this 'Misty'.

Just who exactly was that girl? And what relationship do Ash and her have? Wait no...what am I saying! Ash is with me!...right?


The chase went on for what seemed hours. Pikachu was tiring Ash could see, but he just had to find Misty and talk to her (yes...talk... ).

"Hop on Pikachu, you're tired."

"PI!" (no basically)

What Ash loved most about his first Pokemon was its determination and strength of heart.

"Okay Pikachu."

Misty was only a few yards ahead. He knew they would catch her eventually. Soon both humans and Pokemon were tiring. Ash watched as Misty collapsed.

"Misty! Are you ok?" He could here her breathing heavily, but in between the breaths he heard sobs. She was crying. What have I done?

"Tic?"

Hell, if it isn't Togepi. So it evolved. And...still cares for Misty

The Togetic looked up at Ash. Togetic remembered him but now only had pure hate for his once friend. He had hurt his master...his best friend! Togetic wouldn't stand for it. (damn, I'm gonna have to translate this)

"TOGE!" (LEAVE!)

"Pi! Pikachu!" (No! Not until we talk to Misty!)

"TOGETIC! TIC TOGE TIC!" (Look what you've done to her! She's not going to talk!) "Piiiiiiiikaaaaaaaaa..." Sparks started emitting from the electric mouse's cheeks.

"Pikachu stop. Togetic, we just want to talk to Misty I promise we won't hurt her." Misty was still on the forest ground sobbing. She could here the conversation they were having.

Thank you Togetic...but we do need to 'talk' She had heard Ash say I promise we won't hurt her...but he already had. At that, another tear trickled down her cheek. Misty slowly raised herself up into a sitting position. "Okay Ash, let's talk."


"WHERE DID ASH GO!?" May did not like standing there waiting for him to return. She did not want that Misty and him to be alone.

"May, you need to understand something and that means you must leave them alone...for now." Brock knew that they needed to talk and work things out between them. He knew that each secretly loved one another but never had the guts to admit it to the opposite. Brock did what he had to do as a friend and make sure they were not disturbed. His eyes just stared off into the distance lost in thought.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on but May I think you should just leave them be." May couldn't believe her ears. Max of all people was talking about this subject?

"What do you know Max?" she spat.

"I know more than you think! That was Misty Waterflower (supposed last name) one of the sisters of the famous Cerulean Gym!"

"And that would mean what!?"

"UGH! That was the girl that traveled with Brock and Ash before us!"

"Oh..." May now understood but her feelings for Ash got in the way. "So what does that matter!?" Brock just stood there while the brother and sister started fighting.

Don't be stupid Ash...


Ash and Misty now sat face to face, each with their Pokemon by their side. Neither Ash nor Misty knew what to say.

God she's beautiful. So much more than she was 4 years ago...

Misty now had the chance to look Ash over (in other words...check him out XD). She saw that his face had become more mature like her own. But it still had those golden-brown eyes that she could just get lost in and his little pert nose. He now had an athletic build and some muscle. And finally his jet black hair had lost its regular (pointed) look. Now it was worn freely (not long but not like the shows hair) and hung in his eyes.

Wow...he's gotten so...handsome!

Soon they found each other staring. They both turned away and blushed. Finally they started talking.

"So...Misty, wh- how's it going?"

"I'm fine. You?" "It's going well."

"So it seems." (snor! woops sorry I'm falling asleep...let's spice up the convo!)

Ash had to ask. "Why are you here?"

Misty couldn't reply...she couldn't tell him how she felt. How she felt about him since the day they met. "I came to watch the tournament." she lied.

"Bull shit on you can't lie to me."

"Just stop it Ash!" Again she started to break down and on now, there's no reason to cry."

"NO REASON ASH!? NO REASON!? I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON TO CRY!" With that she slapped him, turned, and started running again (with Togetic of course!). Ash just sat there in shock and watched as the scene replayed in his head. Pikachu shocked him to break his trance.

"Thanks Pikachu. MISTY WAIT!"

Misty was in no condition to start another chase. She collapsed again into something warm. Misty opened her eyes to see two golden-brown orbs staring into her eyes. Ash had caught her. She felt so warm and safe. He just held her for what seemed forever.

"Misty, please...just talk to me." Again, they were facing each other.

"So how's the gym?" "Fan-fucking- tastic..." she said sarcastically. (sorry for the language, I curse too much)

"How are the journey's doing?" she countered.

"Great...I've got Brock, Max, and May to keep me com-" He was stopped again by this time a...growl? Misty was clenching her fists in a rage. Is she jealous?

"How is Brock?" Ash snapped out of it.

"He's doing fine...still the great cook." They (for once) started laughing together. One question ticked Misty...she had to ask.

"So how are you and May?"

"We're – wait...Misty – no that's not what I meant!" Misty looked like she could break down and cry a river.

"What did you mean Ash?"

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT I LO-" He stopped himself before he could say the 'L-word'. She would probably just reject him...he hated the feeling of rejection.

Misty, on the other hand, swelled with pure joy... she knew what he was going to say before he stopped himself.

"Misty, you know I care for you...you're my best friend." At this, she felt crushed.
"IS THAT ALL I AM ASH? A FRIEND ONLY A FRIEND?" Suddenly Ash found himself pinned on the ground staring into blazing, arctic blue eyes.

God she's hot when she's angry

It felt so good to both of the teens to be on top of/underneath another...so warm and comforting. Ash couldn't say anything. Instead he replied the only way he could think of...a kiss. Soon both Ash and Misty were kissing. Passion, caring, and even love exploded through their lips into one another. Ash held Misty's small waist while Misty clutched Ash's head playing with his hair. The two Pokemon who had been long forgotten knew it was time for them to leave. The walked away quietly not to disturb both their masters and left the two teens kissing.
