thanks for the reviews you guys!

so heres 'goods' just like i promised!!

enjoy!

After 20 minutes of shopping Brock & Gary bought there scuba gear, unfortunately there was only one male scuba suit left. & a whole rack of woman's suits.

"Its mine!" Brock & Gary yelled in unison plunging themselves at the rack.

It was like a mini game of tug of war, until Misty stepped in.

"Boys." She said trying to get the attention off of them. "Gary you're not big enough to fit into this suit so go pick out another one." Misty turned to Brock. "Go get dressed."

"Misty theirs only chick suits!" Gary whined.

She sighed & walked over to one; she pulled out an aqua blue & black suit & handed it to Gary.

"Go." She said pushing him toward a dressing room.

Exhausted Misty ran her hand threw her hair and sat down. 10 long minutes later the two exited the dressing rooms.

"Let's go." Gary said paying for everything & walking out the door.

"Where do we start?" Brock said setting his flippers in the water.

"We have to swim out, there's suppose to be an under water cave over by Cinnabar Island."

"Cinnabar? Misty we're not made of time!" Brock said squinting his eyes to see the tiny speck that was Cinnabar Island.

"My friend knows a short cut." She said.

"Dewgong." The white pokemon chirped annoyingly, it didn't like the idea of sharing Misty.

After about an hour of swimming towards Cinnabar they came to rocks peeking above the water.

"This is it! Put on your air mask & follow me." Misty said diving underwater mermaid style.

They followed Misty & her Dewgong all the way to an underwater field of sleeping Gyarados. It was scary but if they swam slowly enough they could get past them without the forced current waking them up. Intense moments were indeed made, like when a school of magicarp came by nearly waking up all the Gyrados, but soon enough they made it to the cave.

Mean seadras & tentacool crowed the cave; they looked so hungry & sad. 3 hours had passed, only 4 more hours till Ash met up with his mermaid. & barley 2 days left, until Misty's transformation was complete. Something she read this morning seemed to be on her mind.

'A true mermaid can't walk on land. Who's my true love?' Misty thought slowly floating along the cold cave water.

'Brock & Gary seemed to be acting themselves when there around me, wait…after I told Brock my secret he seemed to act normal, like the curse had been broken for him.'

It seemed to be the only logical explanation for Brocks sudden change in behavior.

"Misty!" Gary yelled pushing her out of the way. She had been so lost in her thoughts she didn't realize a rather gigantic Tentacruel was trying to kill them!

"Misty do something!" Gary yelled taking the hit.

"Stop!" she screamed at the violent pokemon. "I'm here to see the King."

The Tentacruel didn't seem too impressed.

"I'm a messager of the royal family in the cerulean ocean." She said stern, she was going to stare him down until it let them through.

As if by luck it let them by. He spoke in a language of low squeaks and moans only Misty & Dewgong could understand.

They were told that the next room was the royal chambers, & to do your best not to make the king angry. Since only Misty & Dewgong understood, Gary & Brock were left waiting. Misty knew she had to hurry, she knew scuba tanks couldn't last that long.

"Oh baby your all safe! Look how much you've grown!" An all too motherly voice filled the telephone room at pokemon center.

"Love you too mom." Ash said a little embarrassed. He thought he would ask a bunch of people about mermaids, most of those people thought he was crazy.

"So how are you & Misty?" His mom asked as if she was prying into his love life.

"Mom!" he dragged. "Misty…& I were just friends okay?"

"Dear, I'm not blind it's very clear to the world that you lov…"

"What's that mom? I can't hear you static must be interfering, oh look ice cream bye mom!" Ash had never talk that fast before & he wasn't about to start now. That was the most awkward conversation he'd ever had with his mom…no scratch that, they once had an argument about underwear sizes, & to make it even worse she retold it at a Christmas party.

"Its 10 till 5…" Ash said to Pikachu.

"We got about two hours what do you want to do?"

"Pika!" Pikachu ran over to a bottle of ketchup & started to drink it down.

"Okay…your hungry, me too!"

So they went off to eat.

"Yes?" the King yelled at Misty.

"Sir I'm here to ask you to stop eating the pokemon in the cerulean region

"Nonsense!" he yelled. "I will not talk about it."

"Why not? Why are you eating them?"

"Our source of food has been poisoned; we were faced with starvation or invasion."

"If I find the source of where this poison is coming from will you agree to stop eating the pokemon & leaving that kingdom in peace?"

"Dear, if you can make our food eatable again I shall make you royalty." As flattering as that was Misty wasn't too thrilled of being surrounded by the pokemon she feared.

"A tip to help you on your journey…" King Tentacruel said all king like. "10 miles east of here is a cavern, it is where our food source is produced, but one day the flow of normal fish slowed, & even when we did get to eat the food was so tainted with poison it was unbearable to eat.

"But why haven't you gone west to the cinnabar ocean?"

"The water is was too smoggy & hot for us. The volcano there dose not make well with our kind."

"Ill do my best your majesty." Misty bowed for the king & swam away.

"Misty we don't have much time!" Brock yelled showing her how much air they had left.

They couldn't make it, they only had 5 minutes left & it took 2 hours to come this far into the cave.

They started to swim as fast as they could doing there best not to breathe only when it was necessary. Even with the help of Dewgong & Misty they were too heavy. They were going to drown.

Then as if every lord was watching them, a pack of abnormally large sized tentacool helped them take a short cut out, & pushed them too out of the water.

"Thank you!" Misty yelled wiping the tears from her eyes.

Misty looked at Brocks watch. It was 6 o'clock! & it would take at least 2 hours to make it back to Ash. "Thanks you guys." She sat in the water staring at the two guys who pretty much saved her life.

"I have to…um…" she couldn't find the words.

"We'll meet up with you later Misty." Brock said laughing, He knew she liked him, he knew Ash like her. What he didn't know was why they didn't figure it out yet. "C'mon on Gary."

"Thanks for your help you guys, um tomorrow at 10 I'm going to leave to help the Tentacruel I hope u guys will join me."

"Anything for Misty." Gary blushed, he liked Misty from the very beginning, that was mainly why he was so mean to Ash, he was jealous, sure Gary had girl friends left & right, a famous grandpa, strong evolved pokemon & wealth, but Ash had a mom who love him, 2 best friends, loyal pokemon,…& great hair. He just couldn't compare!

"Thanks Gary." Misty blushed she had to keep reminding herself that she loved Ash, even if he didn't love her, it still wouldn't feel right. She knew Ash didn't like her like that, but he was indeed very protective of her, it made her feel special. She liked to get Ash all flustered & mad; it was when he was his cutest.

"You better get going." Brock said stepping out of the salty water.

"I guess your right." Misty waved & dove back into the warm water. She swam as fast as she could over to what used to be her secret hide out.

"Where is she?" Ash said to Pikachu, he had been waiting for 15 minutes & still no sign of Mina.

"Mina?" Ash yelled off.

Misty heard Ash; she felt her heart race & her toes curl. She was careful she transformed into 'Mina' & not Misty, Making sure her hair was blonde she hopped onto Dewgong's head, waiting for a water gun to propel her in the air.

"Ash?" her voice sounded more perky & more valley girl than Misty's.

"Hey." He looked over the edge to see what looked like a cute, carefree, sexy, confident more grown up version of Misty…no…maybe her sister.

Misty stepped off the powerful water gun & onto the grassy cliff where she sat next to Ash.

"Heh heh. So about Misty?"

"What about Misty?"

"You said you knew her!"

"Oh yes very well."

"Dose she know you're a mermaid?"

"Yes."

"That's funny she told me that she never met one."

Misty felt bad. She forgot that she said that, she was just tired & didn't want to make Ash feel like he was going crazy.

"Were friends, very very close friends." Misty said trying to think of what to say next. "We made a promise not to like say anything. in fact..." Misty lifted her necklace. "...This is a...friend ship...necklace! i found them both tangled in a reef on day!" Misty was nervous, she had never lied so much in her life. "Thats why were like...such good friends."

'So now I have to watch what I say.' Ash knew that if he let word of his emotions slip, she would tell Misty how humiliating!

"So what's it like to be…you know."

"Horrible." Misty lowered her head; it was like reality was punching her right in the face. This; this is all she could ever have with Ash. He had to know, but how to tell to him? 'Ash I'm Misty & I'm a mermaid.' He would so totally hate her! For lying to him, for making him believe all that stuff about mermaids.

"You see, I'm a mermaid…All mermaids are cursed." Misty began. "I'm a cursed mermaid. I can't love anyone, because everyone falls in love with me." She looked at Ash. She felt a little self-absorbed. "Anyways…I have a limited number of days with these to good friends of mine." She said lightly slapping her legs.

"No that's terrible. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"We'll…" She leaned in as if she was going to kiss him, she was so close he could feel her blonde hair brush against his legs, and her minty breath tickle his nose.

"Whoa!" Ash yelled slightly scooting away, 'what am I doing?' he thought to himself.

"I can't kiss you…I'm with somebody." He knew he shouldn't have said that. If this got to Misty she would only want to know more about it. She would only get mad at Ash like she always dose. She never appreciates him; it's as if he's never good enough for her, maybe that's why she hits him so much, or why she was so resistant to sharing a room with him. All this made Ash wonder if he was just wasting his time.

"With somebody?" Misty could hear her heart shatter. How could he be with somebody? How could he not tell her? What other secrets was he hiding from her? "Who they hell are you with?!" she yelled. Misty never cusses; she was so upset she didn't know what she was saying. "I'm sorry I have to go." She jolted up & ran threw the bushes she was so mixed with emotions she nearly killed someone in her unstable stampede "I'm sorry!" she said between sobs.

"Mina wait!" Ash felt like a jerk, he just blew everything. He better get back to the gym & try to get some sleep before the wrath of Misty came.

"Misty is that like you?" it was Daisy. "Oh my god like..little sis what's wrong?"

Misty couldn't face her sister, she had changed so much…she didn't even look like herself; Misty knew her sister was watching, noticing her new features and she continued to lower her head.

"Misty…" she sighed taking her into a strong embrace. "It like…was that Ash boy huh?" she didn't wait for a reply. "You're like growing up…" that's really all Daisy could utter. "You're growing up."
