Open Skies
Meanwhile, on the other side of Pallet Town, Misty wandered into the kitchen of the Ketchum Residence, her hair still damp from her morning shower, and her clothes freshly laundered.
Mrs Ketchum took the absolute best care of her guests after all.
The woman in question was already awake and dressed, sitting at the kitchen table and reading the morning edition of the local newspaper.
When Misty entered, she looked up from the paper and smiled.
"Good morning Misty" Mrs Ketchum greeted kindly, "Did you sleep alright, dear?"
"Morning Mrs Ketchum, and yes, I slept just fine thank you" Misty smiled.
"Good" Mrs Ketchum returned it, folding up her paper and arising to her feet, "I was just about to start making breakfast. We'll be having a full fry-up. Is that okay?"
"That sounds delicious" Misty licked her lips hungrily, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Oh there's no need for that dear" Mrs Ketchum assured her, although she did appreciate the offer, "I'm sure that after all the travelling you've done recently, you could do with taking things easy".
As she said this, Mrs Ketchum crossed the kitchen to the refrigerator, and began pulling food out of it to prepare the breakfast.
"Well, I can't argue with that" Misty admitted as she took a seat at the table.
Whilst she adored the travelling and enjoyed the excitement that went hand in hand with it, she couldn't deny it took its toll after a while.
It would be nice to relax for a few days.
Misty watched as the older woman in the kitchen turned to the oven and grill and turned them on, and started preparing some bacon and sausages.
"So..." Mrs Ketchum glanced up from the food preparations to look at Misty, "Have you and Ash decided what your next move is going to be? Where you're going to go next?"
Misty herself had been wondering that very question.
In fact, the girl had decided last night that she was going to be having that very conversation with Ash later in the day.
It was important after all.
They both needed to make preparations, and for that, they needed a plan.
"To be honest Mrs Ketchum, Ash and I haven't really had enough time to talk about it yet" she eventually replied.
"I can understand that. Yesterday was probably more of a day to think about past adventures than future ones" Mrs Ketchum said sympathetically.
Misty's heart clenched in pain.
It hadn't even been twenty-four hours yet, but the emotional pain of Brock's farewell still threatened to overwhelm her.
"How are you handling it?" Mrs Ketchum asked in concern.
Misty sighed.
She really didn't want to talk about this.
But Mrs Ketchum was only being kind, and the woman had always been so good to her, so Misty forced herself to give an honest answer.
"Not that great" the girl admitted, "I miss him. But I know that Brock will always be one of my best friends. And he promised me that I'd see him again. It's sad, and it hurts, but I understand why he had to leave".
Mrs Ketchum nodded sympathetically.
Sometimes it worried her just how mature Misty was.
But then, from what she had gathered, Mrs Ketchum knew that the girl's life hadn't always been easy, and she imagined that, along with the responsibility of being a gym leader, had forced her to grow up a little faster than most people her age.
It was sad, but also reality.
"Well, I think it says a lot about you to be able to look at it that way" Mrs Ketchum finally replied, a note of pride in her voice, "It takes a lot to be able to understand your friend's needs and motives, especially when they're sometimes hurtful towards yourself".
Misty silently nodded.
She honestly wasn't sure what she was meant to say to that.
Thankfully - before the moment got awkward - a most welcome distraction entered the kitchen.
Namely - Ash Ketchum and Pikachu.
And apparently, both of them were extremely hungry.
"Hi Mom, hi Misty" he greeted, before getting right down to business, "Did we miss breakfast?"
"Pika?" Pikachu squeaked.
"Good morning Honey" Mrs Ketchum beamed at her son, enjoying being able to start the day with him home once more, "And no, I'm just making it now".
"That's a relief" Ash said happily.
He took a seat at the table.
"So, what's on the agenda today?" Mrs Ketchum asked him.
"I still want to go see all my pokemon at the lab since I didn't get to see them last night" Ash reminded her, before turning to his best friend, "You want to come with me Misty?"
"Of course" she nodded, "I love going into Professor Oak's garden and seeing all the pokemon".
"Then it's settled" Ash nodded decisively, "We'll go straight after breakfast".
And that was exactly what they did.
After enjoying a fantastic meal provided by Mrs Ketchum, the two youngsters thanked her and invited her along. She was forced to decline however, since she had some chores that she and Mimey really needed to attend to.
It wasn't long before the two of them, along with Pikachu and Togepi, were making their way across Pallet Town.
"I can't wait to see their faces" Ash was saying happily as the headed up the driveway of Professor Oak's laboratory.
"Pika" Pikachu excitedly agreed.
"I'm sure they'll all be thrilled to see you again Ash" Misty said.
"Toge" Togepi chirped from her arms.
"I hope so" Ash replied, just as they reached the front door.
Misty shifted Togepi into the crook of one arm, before she raised her hand to knock on the door. Before she could strike the wooden surface however, there was the sound of loud shouting coming from inside.
Angry shouting.
Clearly there were people having an argument of some kind on the other side.
Suddenly, taking the two humans and two pokemon by surprise, the door burst open, and a figure ploughed straight through Ash and Misty after slamming the door shut again.
Ash and Misty quickly realised that it was Gary, and that he was anything but happy.
In fact, he looked downright livid.
"Gary!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.
Gary turned back to them.
His scowl quickly changed into a smile, albeit a strained one, when he realised who it was.
"Hi Ash, hi Misty" he greeted them warmly, "You here to see Grampa?"
If he noticed Brock's absence, he didn't comment on it.
But then Gary wasn't really the type to poke his nose into other peoples' business.
Either way, Misty was glad he hadn't brought it up.
She was getting tired of repeating the story of his departure again and again.
It hurt too much to constantly think about.
"Yeah" Ash nodded, "We stopped by yesterday to set up our new accounts - you know, the ones the league are making all trainers get?"
"Yeah, I set mine up a few days ago" Gary nodded.
"Well, by the time we were done, I didn't get a chance to say hi to any of my pokemon here" Ash explained.
"So we decided to come back today" Misty added, "Isn't that why you're here? Or were you just here to see your grandfather?"
Gary's face darkened at the mention of the man.
"Err... everything okay?" Ash blinked in confusion.
"Yeah" Gary said far too quickly, but then he slumped miserably, "No. I came here to tell my Grampa about my plans. You know, to become a Pokemon Researcher?"
"So... it didn't go well?" Misty assumed from his expression.
Gary sadly shook his head.
"Gramps doesn't think it's a good idea. He says I'm too young and should see more of the world first" Gary said bitterly, "That there will be plenty of time to become a researcher later".
Misty was surprised to say the least.
To her, Gary following in the professor's footsteps made a lot of sense.
He was one of the smartest trainers she knew.
Plus it was so unlike Professor Oak to talk someone out of pursuing a dream.
"Maybe he's right" Ash piped up.
Gary and Misty turned to him curiously.
"I mean, say you won a League Tournament, challenged and beat the region's Elite Four, defeated the Champion and were crowned the new one..." Ash elaborated, "Would you accept a desk job and start running an entire country's branch of the Pokemon League?"
"No" Gary immediately shook his head.
"Why not?" Ash questioned.
"Because I'd be bored rigid. I'd want to keep travelling and... oh" Gary's eyes widened in realisation, before guilt set in.
He had blown up at his Grampa for trying to help him.
And now he felt like dirt.
The professor hadn't deserved his temper.
"Exactly" Ash nodded, "I mean, surely by travelling and continuing to train pokemon, you'd still learn tonnes about them. I know I have. And then you'd have more worldly experience to use when you finally did become a Pokemon Researcher".
Gary couldn't help but see the logic in that.
"Maybe... I dunno" the brown haired boy shook his head.
"Perhaps you should just think about this whole thing a little more" Ash suggested helpfully, "I mean, if Professor Oak's words are getting to you this much, it sounds like you're still a little unsure".
Gary let out a low, tired sigh.
"But I was sure before I talked to him" Gary grumbled, "Being a Pokemon Researcher is my dream, and it always will be. But at the same time, I'm good at pokemon training and I love it too".
Misty was pleased to see that he wasn't being arrogant about his abilities, just honest.
It was a far cry from the boy she'd met three years ago.
It seemed, like Ash and herself, Gary had also matured into a much better person.
"Perhaps the Professor knows that, and doesn't want to see you give it up before you have too?" Ash suggested.
Gary sighed, before he shrugged.
"Yeah, maybe" he said quietly, before sighing again, "I think I need to go have another long hard think about this. Somewhere quiet and alone. I'll see you guys later".
"Bye Gary" Misty smiled supportively at him, "I hope you manage to figure all this out".
"Yeah, me too" Ash added.
"Thanks guys" Gary smiled warmly at them.
He then turned and walked away.
As soon as the boy was out of sight, Misty turned and stared at Ash, her mouth slightly open.
"What?" Ash frowned when he saw her expression.
"Who are you, and what have you done with Ash Ketchum?" she asked.
"Huh?" Ash blinked.
"I'm just finding it difficult that you of all people just said something incredibly insightful, and that you basically just talked your biggest rival into continuing with training pokemon" she teased sarcastically.
Ash rolled his eyes.
"None of that was based on my history with Gary" Ash stated firmly, being completely honest and serious, "Me and him are really good at the moment. I feel like we're finally becoming friends again, now that we've both deflated our egos. I was just trying to help him out".
"Well I'd say you managed that" Misty replied, all teasing aside, "It was good of you to do that, especially considering your history".
"Like I said, I think we're finally becoming friends again" Ash smiled.
With nothing else to interrupt them, Ash knocked on the door.
A few moments passed by, but then the door opened again.
Standing in the doorframe was Professor Oak.
He seemed weary and disheartened.
His expression immediately told Misty that the man's disagreement with his grandson was weighing heavily on his mind.
Upon seeing his visitors however, Professor Oak perked up, and smiled down at them.
"Ah, good morning Ash, good morning Misty" he greeted them, "How's everything going this morning?"
"Great, thanks Professor" Misty smiled at him.
"We... err... we just saw Gary" Ash said carefully.
Professor Oak's shoulders slumped.
"I see" he said sadly.
"Do you really think he shouldn't become a Pokemon Researcher?" Misty found herself asking before she could stop herself.
Professor Oak looked surprised by the question.
"Of course not!" he cried, a little indignantly, "I have every confidence that Gary would make an exceptional scientist and professor!"
"He just seemed... I dunno... disappointed" Misty shrugged, "I thought the idea made a lot of sense when he told us what he was planning".
"It does make sense" Professor Oak agreed, surprising Ash and Misty, "However Gary needs to remember that he is only thirteen, and he only gets one chance at being young. He shouldn't waste that time in a laboratory. He should be out there, seeing the world and all its wonders. You only get one shot at life. You need to make it count. That's all I was trying to make him see... but, err... he kind of took it the wrong way. He said I didn't believe in him, but nothing could be further from the truth!"
"He knows that Professor" Ash assured him kindly, "You know what he's like. He was probably just blowing off steam and said some things in the heat of the moment".
Professor Oak let out a tired sigh.
It was only the morning, yet he felt completely drained and exhausted.
"I hope you're right Ash" the man finally said.
"Ash actually spoke to Gary about it, and I think he got through to him" Misty informed the professor, "Gary said he was going somewhere quiet to think about it some more".
Professor Oak looked both surprised and relieved to hear that.
"Really? He did" the man asked, eyebrows raised in shock, "Well, thank you my boy".
He beamed down at Ash.
Ash smiled modestly.
"It was the least I can do after everything you're always doing for me and my pokemon" the boy shrugged.
"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, you still have to say hello to them" the Professor reminded them.
"I know" Ash nodded, "That's why we came here".
"Well then my family drama has probably kept you from reuniting with them for long enough" Professor Oak smiled sheepishly, "If you two want to head on through, I'll be out in a few minutes. There's a few things I need to attend to first".
Nodding their thanks, Ash and Misty stepped around him, quickly passed through the lab, and headed through the back door out into the grounds.
The instant Ash set foot out there was when it happened.
"AAAHHH!" he yelped as he was immediately pounced on.
Every single one of Ash's pokemon had eagerly been awaiting his arrival at the lab, and as soon as they spotted him, they all pounced.
Now he was being cuddled by all of them.
Misty was alarmed for a split second, but when she took in the sight before her, she did the only think she could think of.
She promptly burst out laughing.
A pleasant morning swiftly turned into a pleasant afternoon, as Ash reunited with all his pokemon. All of them were extremely excited to see him again. Plus many of his older pokemon were excited to either see his newer Johto pokemon again, or actually meet them for the first time. The only problem was, Ash couldn't seem to shake any of them, old or new, off of himself.
Now that their trainer was back for the time-being, none of the boy's pokemon were keen to let him leave their side again.
Admittedly, Ash wasn't trying very hard to usher them away.
In fact, all his efforts were half-hearted at best.
Ash couldn't help it though. He had missed them all just as much as they had all apparently missed him.
Eventually however, the excitement stirred by Ash's return to Pallet Town died down, and after what seemed like hours, the pokemon all dwindled away, returning to their usual daily activities.
It wasn't a moment too soon for Misty.
On absolutely no level was the girl trying to be mean, nor did she not want Ash to be reunited with all his pokemon friends. On the contrary, she was very happy to see Ash and all his pokemon so joyously reunited.
She simply wanted a moment alone with her best friend to talk to him.
And they had both been so busy recently; what with the Silver Conference and then Brock's departure, that the two trainers had barely had two seconds alone together, nevermind enough time for a proper chat.
It was time for that to be rectified.
A serious question had been plaguing Misty's thoughts for days now, going around and around in her head, and she felt the time was finally ripe for her to get an answer to it.
Namely - what were they going to do now?
She had no doubts whatsoever that Ash would get bored of being back home within a week. And Misty could certainly relate to that feeling. Both of them lived for the open road. For the adventure. For the uncertainty.
But mostly, they lived for the freedom.
So when Misty finally got the chance to voice her desire for a private talk with Ash, the boy had naturally agreed to her request, and had promptly suggested that they go to his 'Secret Spot' - a place Ash was confident they would not be disturbed or overheard.
Relieved, Misty had agreed without hesitation.
But whatever it was that she was expecting, it wasn't what Ash led her to.
His 'Secret Spot' was nothing more than a knotted old oak tree, right on the border of the grounds of the laboratory. It was pretty well hidden, and silent. Not even a stray Caterpie or Weedle had found the tree to nest in, it was that secluded.
Misty couldn't help the scoff that escaped her however when Ash proudly presented it.
"What?" Ash blinked at her.
"Nothing" she shook her head, eyes twinkling with amusement, "Just... err, I was kinda expecting something a little... more than an old tree".
"For your information, I've been climbing this 'old tree' since I was in nappies" Ash told her, looking put-out that she was less-than-impressed, "You can see all of the gardens from up there. Heck, even the whole of Pallet Town, with nothing but the sky overhead. I've never brought anybody else here before".
"Well I'm flattered you decided to share it with me" Misty winked teasingly.
On the inside however, she was quite pleased that Ash trusted her enough to show her one of his childhood haunts.
"Yeah, yeah" Ash grumbled, "Well, ladies first".
He gestured for her to start climbing the tree.
"Finally, you've learned some manners" she laughed good-naturedly, and Ash grinned.
Misty carefully transferred Togepi from her arms to her backpack, and then began climbing. Once she was almost half-way up, Ash began climbing too.
Within five minutes, the two best friends were sitting side by side on one of the tree's most upper branches.
On the branch above their heads, Togepi was sat looking around at the grounds below, whilst Pikachu kept a watchful eye on the youngster, making sure he didn't fall.
An awed gasp slipped Misty's lips as she took in the view.
Ash hadn't been lying.
She could see for miles and miles, and it was all so... well, beautiful.
Especially the warm blue sky.
It seemed practically alive with endless possibilities and opportunities.
"It's gorgeous" she whispered.
"Told ya so" Ash grinned victoriously, "So - what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
Misty paused, thinking about how best to word what she wanted to say.
"Us" she eventually replied in an honest tone, "I wanted to talk to you about what you want to do now. I mean, I'd obviously love to keep travelling, and of course I want to do that with you, but we haven't actually spoken about where we'd travel too, if we continued together that is".
"Oh" Ash looked surprised.
Truth be told, he had been wondering that same thing himself.
Sometimes it scared him just how in tune with each other he and Misty were.
He supposed that just came with being best friends.
"Well?" Misty urged him.
"Well jeez Misty, of course I still want us to travel together. It was hard enough saying goodbye to Brock... saying goodbye to you... well, let's face it, I'd probably end up crying" he chuckled.
Misty smiled fondly.
She knew if ever a time for her and Ash to part ways did come, she certainly wouldn't be dry-eyed.
"I know" she said gently, not a trace of her usual teasing manner, "Me too".
There was a silent pause as the two friends smiled at each other.
Misty found herself staring into Ash's eyes.
She saw various different emotions she couldn't quite decipher flashing through those dark brown orbs of his.
Shaking herself out of it, Misty continued the conversation.
"So, any thoughts?" she asked, snapping Ash back to the present as well, "I mean, I'm all for a bit of downtime here in Pallet Town, but I know you Ash, and like me, it won't be too long before you're rearing to go again".
Ash laughed, knowing just how true that was.
But then again, Misty always could read him like a book, much to his infuriation at times.
"Well, personally I'd like to go to one of the other regions" Ash mused aloud, "I mean, we've already been through Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, and all of them were great. One day I'd love to go around them all again, but for now... I think I want to go see something we've never seen before. What about you Misty? Isn't there anywhere you want to go?"
Misty frowned, deep in thought.
"Well, I definitely agree with you on the whole 'seeing new things' thing" she said slowly, "Actually, I've been thinking a lot about Harrison".
"Harrison?" Ash blinked, not seeing what he had to do with this.
"Well, more specifically his pokemon. You know, his Blaziken and his Kecleon? Those were both pokemon that neither of us had ever seen before" she said, a mystified expression taking over her face, "I wanna go somewhere full of pokemon I've never met. I want to go somewhere brand new, where you and me will have lots of adventures, and lots of fun too".
Ash couldn't help but grin widely.
That did sound pretty good.
He opened his mouth to reply, but the words on his lips never got the chance to be spoken.
At that exact moment, a most unearthly sound echoed down from the heavens.
It was like a primal scream of the sky itself. Like the sound of something racing on the north wind. Like a volcano exploding in a fierce rage. Like a clap of thunder and the crackling of lightning.
It was unlike anything Misty had ever heard before.
And it felt like the noise itself was washing through her, down and down to the very centre of her soul.
Suddenly she felt... well, she didn't really know.
Like she had just been filled with hope.
"What on earth was that?" Misty asked, looking around with wide awestruck eyes.
Ash, who had also experienced that most peculiar sensation, was also looking around for the source of the ethereal noise.
"Pika!" above them, Pikachu exclaimed and pointed his paw up at the sky.
"Toge!" Togepi was also looking up in amazement.
The two humans both mirror their pokemon's actions.
If either of them were expecting anything, it most certainly was not what they saw.
For a moment, Misty simply stared at the being in the sky, unable to take in what it was she was actually seeing.
When it finally did sink in, she did the only thing she could.
Her jaw dropped wide open.
Soaring through the skies was a massive bird that would easily stand at thirty feet tall if on the ground. Its powerful wings were a mixture of royal scarlet, snow white, and forest green; their colours easily definable, even from such a distance. A brilliant crest of the purest gold adorned its head, and a beak that looked lethally sharp extended from its face. The creature's shimmering eyes glowed with the power of a thousand suns.
The being was surrounded by a haze of astonishing light that shone with every colour of the rainbow, so brightly it was almost blinding. Its more subtle features could not be seen as a result of the intense light, but they didn't need to be.
Anybody looking up at the creature right now didn't really need to see it.
They could feel it.
A power unlike anything else.
The power of a god.
The power of life itself.
"It... it can't be!" Ash gasped, utterly astounded.
Misty turned to him, her emerald eyes wide with amazement.
"What..." she couldn't finish her question.
She simply turned her eyes back to the spectacular being in the sky, her words and thoughts lost in favour of observing its glorious beauty.
Ash seemed to know what she had been trying to ask him, and was able to provide the answer.
"It's Ho-Oh!" he managed to stutter out, completely flabbergasted.
The ethereal being in the sky let out another shrieking cry, and Misty was rendered speechless.
Words couldn't do that creature justice, she decided.
Beautiful seemed cheap if used to describe such a natural wonder.
She and Ash continued to stare at Ho-Oh for several long, blissful moments before Misty was able to find her voice again.
"That's really Ho-Oh?" she couldn't help but ask, "And you saw it on the day that we first met?".
Ash, still practically speechless himself, could only nod in response.
"Whoa..." Misty breathed in awe, "It looks... different, to how I imagined it. When Morty and Eusine told us about it... well, let's just say my imagination didn't do it any justice at all. It's so... I don't even know what the word is!"
She let out a breathless laugh.
They watched as the legendary pokemon crossed the sky, leaving light trailing behind it, like stardust.
It was an amazing moment, an experience Misty would remember for the rest of her life. She was so glad that she got to share such a wondrous moment with Ash.
There was no one she'd rather have shared that with.
"I wonder where its headed..." Ash eventually managed to say.
"If you go in that direction in a straight line, you'd eventually reach the Hoenn region" Misty told him, "I bet that's where Ho-Oh is headed".
They watched for a few more seconds, but then Ho-Oh passed through some clouds, and vanished from sight.
All that was left behind was a single lingering rainbow.
That, and the feeling of hope resonating through Ash's and Misty's hearts like a warm glow.
Neither of them said a single word.
Ash just looked at the sky for another moment, then turned to face Misty.
There was a massive grin on his face.
Misty didn't even need to ask him to know what he was thinking.
She grinned too, and nodded her agreement.
It appeared that their next destination had just been decided.
And there's chapter five : )
Yay! Ho-Oh! I really wanted Misty to be there when Ash saw Ho-Oh, so I'm quite pleased with how this turned out : )
Anyway, I said there were some things I wanted your opinions on and there is : )
First of all - and this was something that came up in a review - do you guys want me to write new gyms as well as the canon gyms in the Hoenn region? Remember in the first season, Gary received ten gym badges whilst in Kanto, and he never got the Earth Badge, implying there are more then just eight gyms in a region.
So do people want me to include new gym leaders for Ash to face? Just because he only needs eight badges to enter the Hoenn league doesn't mean he necessarily has to stop at eight, right?
And secondly - what should I do about Max? I've never made it a secret that I do not like Max much as a character. In fact, I find him rather annoying, and a few people mentioned in reviews that they don't want him to join the group in this story. So I thought the best thing to do would be to put it to you guys, since I don't want my feelings on the character clouding my judgement. Should Max join Ash, May, Misty and Brock on their journey or not? I'll go with the majority of comments about this.
So if you want your opinions heard on these topics, please leave a review telling me them, as insight from the reader is always helpful : )
And now it's time to play the game : )
Firstly - congratulations to OmniDragon10, Stallion6 of Deviantart, Lugiaman14, UltimateCCC, Pokemon Trainer Tom, Disruptor, Deant33, Teddi 8347, Infernoinside, Queenspeller67, Cruzcartoon, Breakawayfan, SPeCTeR-117, Kurakuma, Sesshoru, Mewmaster89, FireEmblemMaster101, Pokesean, Midnightstorm022, Yugi the Godfather of Games, Jeet Granger, Chrono Phoenix, RHatch89, Magic135, AtomicGeneral25, Ragedrock, Reppad98, Reader2001, Pokemon Fan, Mighty Ranger 1, NarutoMagi17, JMW, PokeshipperByHeart, Blarg7865, Guest 16, Siggimondo, Reptil, Gentle Blossom, Kitsunelover300, Guest, and Marylopez0812 - the correct answer was indeed Mime Jr.
Better luck next time to Tropicallight who thought it was Togepi, LovingGinger 30 who thought it was Smoochum, Jamesharold13 who thought it was Persian, and JuptileNamudori253 who thought it was Wynaut.
WHO'S THAT POKEMON?
This pokemon has feelers on its ears that can tell how a person is feeling or when an egg is close to hatching. It does not evolve nor has it evolved but it does have a Mega-Evolution. It has a 50% chance of holding an Oran Berry or a 5% chance of a Sitrus Berry in the games.
And there we go : )
I hope that you all liked this chapter, and please remember to leave a review telling me your thoughts on those subjects I mentioned : )
Until the next time, keep on reading : )
