"Prepare For Trouble!"

"And Make It Double!"

"To Denounounce The World From Devistation"

"To Extend Our Reach To The Stars Above."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Team Rocket Blast Of At The Speed Of Light."

"Surrender Now Or Perpare To Fight."

"Meowth, That's Right!"

"That was nice saying the old motto again."

"Yes it was."

"Well how about we get this mission going!"

"Alright Jessie!" Then Team Rocket slumped into the shadows waiting for their agent to appear.

Misty awoke from her slumber. HEr alarm clock was ringing loudly in her ears. She just wanted to turn it off sometimes and roll back over to sleep, but she knew better and got up and got ready. She went to the gym to check upon the Pokemon and id her usual work. Then Had Daisy watch the gym while she went with Tracey to help his firends out. They arrived to their destenation quickly. Tracey got out and opened up the door for Misty and she thanked him and then they walked up to the house.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" They ran quickly to the house to see a Wartortle sparying its water gun upon a man.

"GO POLITIED! Use Your DOUBLE-SLAP ATTACK!"

"Politoed!" The Wartortle was hit directly. The Wartortle then directed its Skull Bash towards Politoed. Politoed dogded without any issues.

"Alright use Bubblebeam!" It was another direct hit. Wartortle shook it off, but that was enough for it to decide to run off. Misty let it and went to the man that was attacked.

"Thank you for saving me! Those blasted water pokemon are always attacking me!"

"Well why are they?" Misty inquired quickly.

"Well I'm not sure what their problem is. They weren't bad Pokemon. They just started up this mess about a week ago. Ever since that big water pokemon appeared!"

"Do you know what water pokemon it is?"

"Well it looks like a jellyfish pokemon!"

"Oh either a Tentacool or a Tentacruel."

"Well lets go see Misty."

"Sure As- Tracey." Misty turned to look at Tracey. Tracey looked like he didn't notice the almost calling him Ash but she knew he did.

They walked to the lake to see what pokemon it was. Misty and Tracey looked around to see a Tentacruel. Misty did see the Wartortle she had battled earlier. "Hey look there's that Wartortle!" Misty started to walk towards it until a Tentacruel popped out of the water. The man had followed Misty and Tracey.

"Look there it is!"

"Well Time to Battle it! GO GYARADOS!" It popped out of its pokeball roaring.

"GO MIST!" Misty turned around to give Tracey "The Look". He knew what that meant and he shut up quickly.

"Remember IT'S mistY not MisT. Alright Gyarados! Use Hyper Beam!" Tentacruel quickly disappeared under the water and popped up beside Gyarados and it used its Posion Sting attack agasint it. "Gyarados quickly counter with Whirlpool!"

The mark got it. Teantcruel was tossed around in the water. Then Wartortle came and Skull Bashed Gyarados, but Gyarados dodged it quickly, but that made it lose its foucus on Tentacruel and it got away but not before Gyarados used its Dragon Raged and it hit the Tentacruel easily. Tentacruel was easily defeated and Misty threw out her pokeball and caught the Tentacruel. Misty did a little dance.

"YEAH! I caught Tentacruel! Alright Tentacruel come on out! Why did you make as these water Pokemon attack the people on the land?"

"Tentacruelll!" It spoke to her for a time then she finally understood.

"Apparently the Pokemon were tired of having their trainers drop them here and just leave them. Tentacruel saw all the others that were abanonded and figured they would attack some of the humans who tried to let go of their water Pokemon. "

"Wow really Misty? You could take all these abondened water Pokemon of the gym!"

Misty thought it over. "Wartortle, would you and the others like to come and stay at the gym with me? We have a big water swimming pool you could have fun playing in and everything!" All the Pokemon looked at each other and agreed. Misty smiled and was happy.

She took them all to the gym, She had Tentacruel, Wartortle, and a Spheal. Not that many pokemon but enough to make a riot out of things.

"Well you have more Pokemon for the gym at least, Mist."

"TRACEY! Just go away! I told ou I'm not into you!"

"AHAHAHAHAAA! Wow Tracey you got put down hard, huh?" Misty wheeled around to see Brock.

"Oh hey Brock!"

"Hey Misty. Ash told me to come give you this. He was in town but he saw me and ask if I would take it. He seemed embarrassed by it but I didn't take a look at it. So Tracey, how long have you been after Misty?"

"Since Ash came back. I realized I needed to make me move quickly! But... failed seeing how she still likes Ash."

"So Misty you finally admit to liking Ash, huh?"

Misty blushed. "Well yeah I guess so Brock. I have and will always like Ash. When you told me that May found love in Drew that made me happy to know how May would quit hitting on my Ash."

"Then Dawn came into the picture though so it was rough at first but Barry got to her."

"I would expect Kenny to but Barry huh?"

"Yeah Barry was a little weird but hey you choose who you choose right?"

"Yeah so I wonder about Iris. I wonder who she likes. Yeah and that Cilian guy too. Ah oh well obviously they didn't have that big of a impact on Ash."

"Oh the note!" Misty began opening it up.

As soon as you get this note, meet me at the lake her in Cerulean! I'd like to see you.

~Love Ash.

Er no I mean Ash K.

Misty had to giggle. "What's so funny Misty.?"

"Ash put Love Ash then put a line through it and said Ash K."

"Ah see Ash might be throwing you some hints."

Misty then ran out of the room. She ran all the way to the lake to see Ash. Does Ash really trying to throw me a hint? Misty finally made it there. She was huffing and puffing. She saw Ash standing there and he truned to look at her and smile. She blushed seeing his smile and it made her heart melt.

"Misty." He said softly. She walked to him with her heart pounding.

"Ash." She said breathlessly.

"Want to go somewhere with me?"

Misty blushed. "Well sure Ash but to where?" Ash took her hand and made her start running again. She had no idea where they were going but she was glad to be using her running muscles with Ash. They were laughing while the wind hit thier faces. Then Ash and Misty finally made it to the outskirts of Cerulean city. There were alone now.

"Well Misty here we are."

"Okay Ash."

"Lets have a Pokemon battle."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"You Punk. There's no water here for my pokemon!"

"And? You're a gym leader. Lets do this. GO SNIVY!"

"SniiiVY!"

... "GO GYARADOS! FLAMETHROWER!" Gyarados roared and used its flamethrower. The attack hit its mark and Snivy went down Ash then recalled Snivy and called out Tepig. Misty Recalled Gryarados and called upon Politoad.

"Ember attack!"

"Dodge and use water gun!" The attack missed.

"Alrigt use tackle!" Tepig's attack missed.

"Hypnosis!" The attack worked and Ash had to call back Tepig.

"GO OSHAWOTT!Use Razor Shell!"

Politoad was knocked out. Misty recalled Politoad and sent out Corsola.

"Spike Cannon!" The attack hit its mark. Oshawott went down. Misty called back Corsola. Then Ash was running towards her. He stood right in front of her.

"See I knew you could do it."

"Ash." Misty started to blush. Ash smiled at her.

"You're so blushy blush. What's the matter, My handsomeness making you fall in love with me?"

Misty then gave him an annoyed look. "Oh whatever Ash." She rolled her eyes

"Oh then what?" He leaned towards Misty and was face to face to her.

"Uhm... Nothing." Misty hadn't realized up until this point Ash was really flirting with her...

"Nothing, huh?" Then he backed away from her. "We'll see. I figured you and Tracey would get together since he was always there for you."

"EH? NOW WAY! I DON'T LIKE HIM I LIKE SOMEONE ELSE!" Misty stopped in her tracks.

"Oh? Who would that be?"

"No no no one!" Misty was blushing red.

"Is that so? Well I guess we should head back then. Maybe you'll tell me who that guy is soon." Ash smiled. He wasn't the same old Ash like She used to know. Ash really had changed. She wondered what he had in store forhe both of them.

At the gym. "HEY MIST! I am so glad you are back!"

"Tracey. We are not a couple so do not call me Mist."

Ash couldn't help but laugh at that. Brock had already left but Tracey stayed to watch the gym for her.

"Shut up Ash. At least I'm trying to claim my woman!"

"What? I don't have to claim Mist. She already knows." Ash then turned to smirk at a blushing red faced Misty again.

"Oh Ash you're so silly." Misty just blabbered out.

"WHAT THE? You're not going to yell at him for calling you Mist like you do me?"

"I've called Misty, Mist before. It didn't bother her then, it shouldn't now."

Misty just nodded her head.

"Oh... ugh! Misty I want to be your boyfriend!"

"No Tracey, I'm just sorry."

"Tracey I think you just need to leave right now." Ash said.

"No Ash I won't not until I get Misty before you DO!"

"Before I do?" Ash turned to look at Misty but not with a confused look on his face. His face showed interest. He was interested in this.

Misty blushed madly. She shook her head no at him. His smirk crept up more on his face knowing well what this was meaning to Misty now, or did he?

"That's Right Ash! BEFORE YOU DO!"

Ash looked towards Tracey's direction. "So have you even had a date with her yet?"

Tracey looked at Ash. He almost stumbled on his words before going at him again. "N-nO! BUT WE WILL! Misty how about tomorrow we go on a date?"

"No." Misty said with a tone as if she had turned him down many times before.

"Why not?"

"I said no. I've told you no before, what makes you think it will change now?"

"Because I'm going to tell everybody who is my crush!" Then he ran. He ran. Misty stood there knowing this may not end up well. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She wheeled around to see Ash standing beside her.

"So Mist. What was up with that? That before you do stuff?"

Misty blinked. Ash was teasing her once again using Mist as a nickname. She looked to him. "Maybe he thinks I have some crush on you or something and he feels threatened by your precense?"

Ash looked at her then. "Well do you?"

"Do I what, Ash?"

Ash just gave her a look. "Misty you feeling okay?" Ash put his hand on her forehead. "Oh my, Misty you're burning up!"

"Ash I'm fine!" Then Misty started falling over passing out. Ash caught her.

"No you're not fine!"

"I am too." She said weakly.

"Well you're not right at this moment."

"Okay." Was all she said before falling asleep. Before falling into the darkness Misty thought she heard Ash say something into her ear.

"Misty, I'll always be waiting for you." He whispered into her ear. Maybe she thought she imagined it, but if she didn't. Well it didn't matter because she was doing a little dance in her head. Then she went to sleep.

Misty woke up to find herself in her room at the gym. "THE POKEMON!" She got up to run down the stairs. She went to the gym area where the pool was. No pokemon... "OH MY, NO! DID SOMEONE STEAL THEM?" She ran towards the area where it showed the pokemon in harmony, but no pokemon... She ran towards outside... Only then she bumped into someone. She looked up. She was frantic. "Ash." She breathed his name.

"Hey Misty. Your sisters told me that you like to let the pokemon go to the lake. We just got back. It's almost dinner time!" He was smiling. She fell to her knees crying. "Eh? Hey what's the matter?" He leaned down to her level.

She looked at Ash. "I thought someone stole my pokemon."

Ash softened his gaze on her and pulled her into a hug. "Just only me. I figured I'd help take care of the, while you were out sick for three days. Tracey wanted to seee you, but I figured he would only stress you out more. Then I feared you wouldn't get enough rest so I sent him away."

"Oh Ash." They sat there for a minute until, guess who came in, that's right Tracey.

"MISTY! Are you feeling better?" He came to her side. Misty just looked at him and went back to crying on Ash's shoulder. "What's the matter?"

"She thought someone stole her pokemon. Only to have found out I took them on a stroll. So she's relieved that they're okay."

"I didn't ask you Ketchump."

Misty snapped her head up, "IT IS ASH KETCHUM! NOT KetchumP!"

Tracey stumbled backwards some. He knew he just crossed the line. He wouldn't stand down from Ash. No he wouldn't. "Well Misty I'm glad you're okay. And Ketchum... I'll catch you later." Then he walked out.

Misty stood up. Ash helped her up in the process. "Well he did what he set out to do. He told everybody that he loves you."

Misty looked at him in shock. "He did what?" She whispered.

Ash nodded his head. "Everyone asked me if you two were an item and I flat out told them, No." He put no as a indicater that he didn't approve of this either.

"Well lets go see what my sisters cooked for dinner. I'm straved. I bet you are, too. I need to be prepared for tomorrow's battle with everyone asking me that stupid question." Then they walked hand in han together. They didn't realize that they had done that, but they did. Misty and Ash was having a moment they both wouldn't forget.

Well finally updated and got this to rolling! Hope I know where everyone stands at this point. YEAH! Anyway moving right along. Going to update some other chapters now! =DDD
