Here's a longer chapter, although not by much. I've got the next chapter all typed up for you folks, but I'll make you suffer while I scramble to type chapter 4 up. Please R&R!
Chapter 2
Ash Ketchum and his friends were starting a new adventure in the Hoenn region. "Brock, when are we going to reach Oldale Town? I'm hungry," Ash complained.
"Is Ash always hungry?" May asked Brock, giggling.
"Pretty much. He's got a black hole for a stomach," Brock replied, mock serious.
"It's not that big!" Ash retorted, his face slowly turning pink.
"Oldale!" May shouted, dashing ahead.
The group explored the town a bit before heading to the Pokemon Center for some food, seeing as Ash was ravenous.
A girl with long brown hair walked past them, smiling as she went. She was carrying a neon pink backpack bulging with food and supplies. As the girl walked through the doors, a keychain fell off.
"Hey, you dropped..." Ash started to say, but didn't finish as the girl began to run once outside. He picked up the keychain and walked over to Nurse Joy. "Who was that?" he asked.
"That was Mishatu. She lives just outside of town. She comes in every couple of weeks for food and supplies," Nurse Joy said. "She's had that backpack ever since she got here."
"Can you show me where she lives? I want to return her keychain," Ash asked, ever so valiant.
"No problem. She lives straight in the forest over there. You can't miss it," Nurse Joy pointed the way.
"Thanks!" Ash was already out the door. He ran to the edge of the forest, having to wait for his friends.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have, like, a crush on her or something?" May panted.
"No," Ash quickly denied.
"Good, because she's a few years older than you," Brock remarked. Ash and May looked at him strangely. "What? I asked Nurse Joy. Mishatu's sixteen."
They entered the forest and soon came to a clearing with a cabin in it. Mishatu was off to the side, talking softly with some Pokemon. The Pokemon dashed off when they saw Ash, May, and Brock approaching. Mishatu looked at them and smiled when her brown eyes landed on Pikachu.
"Pika, pika," she said to Pikachu.
Pikachu, surprised, replied, "Pika? Pika pi."
Mishatu turned to Ash. "You've got a very nice Pikachu."
"Thanks. By the way, I'm Ash," he said, blushing furiously.
"I'm Mishatu. Nice to meet you," she curtsied slightly.
"You left your keychain at the Pokemon Center," Ash handed the teen her keychain.
"Oh, thanks! I thought I heard something fall off, but I wanted to get here as soon as possible. Um..." Mishatu paused, fiddling with the keychain. "Are you hungry? I've got some food cooking."
"When is he not hungry?" May chimed in.
Mishatu frowned at her. "And you are...?" she prompted.
"May. I'm from Littleroot," the younger girl stated.
"Oh, come on in," Mishatu invited, pretty much ignoring Brock, to his dismay. "The food's just about done." The group went in to eat and when they were done, they left the cabin.
"It was nice having you," Mishatu told them cheerfully.
"If you ever have any extra food, we're the ones to call!" Ash said. He and his friends started walking away.
Mishatu waved, ignoring a buzzing noise in her ear that slowly grew louder. Soon, the noise was so loud, her eardrums felt as if they were going to break. The teen turned around to tell one of the Beedrill in the forest to cut it out when she saw a huge metal pincer reaching towards her. She screamed as it grabbed her waist.
What do you think is going to happen next? If I get some good reviews, I might incorporate ideas. The next chapter is all typed up, but things can be changed...
