FINALLLLY! Last chapter yall : You know, this only got done because MistyWaterflowerHasYou happend to review!

Thats all it takes, just one review! And look, the story is done.

I really hope you like it.

"WHAT?!" Was all Ash could say before the wall exploded flooding the room with salt water. Everyone grasped on to Misty as an anchor. Oh god this is exactly what they had been praying for wasn't it? Water was gushing in from every corner, and the pressure was almost too much to bear! "Hang on everyone!" Ashe yelled as the cold dark water claimed over his chest.

Then out of nowhere a pink vaporion, a Dewgong, & a Tentacruel miraculously appeared from the navy water and debris as if they were sent by the heavens! Apparently these God like pokemon dug a whole threw the underwater putty-like sand to help Misty break free!

"Dewgong!" The white pokemon squealed with delight, licking Misty's face. It nodded its head, turned and scooped Ash, along with Pikachu up, taking them to the surface as fast as possible.

"Vaayy." The pink vaporion said doing the same to Gary.

"Cruel Cruel!" the Tentacruel grunted following Ash & Gary with Richie.

"Alright!" Misty said swimming threw the narrow sand tunnel.

"Vay vay porion on!" the pink pokemon mermaid said seriously. Translated: "I'm so sorry! Ill do anything to help."

Misty sighed knowing that her love for Ash would never leave her heart; he was too much of memory, too much of an influence to forget, she was a mermaid now & Ash wasn't. They didn't deserve each other for he belonged to the land, & she to the sea.

Misty surfaced some time later, watching her love swim away to land. Land. She thought. Land was a place that did not welcome her any longer.

Moments past & the 3 humans were along the moonlit shoreline being rushed into ambulances by Joys & Jenny's who seemed to be swarming all over the beach!

"Brock…" Ash whispered out of breath hopping all this was just a dream, that he wasn't too late, that Misty was in an ambulance somewhere & was going to be okay!

Brock, the one who organized the rescue team just starred at him, sorrow and regret etched into the lines that hid under his eyes.. "I'm sorry buddy…We'll see her again someday…"

The doors closed & the ambulances took off with a police escort to the nearest hospital.

Two day's had past since Ash was checked into the hospital. It was now 3 in the morning & he couldn't sleep. They had insisted that he rest for a week due to all the water in his lungs; he could catch pneumonia at any time, and he was in no condition to walk.

He got up stiffly and waddled to the window. He opened it looked deep at the ocean, It was so beautiful at this time, not yet morning, no longer night, it had so many mysteries man kind had not figured out yet, though…she was there…the girl of his dreams was cursed to the sea & he could never be with her again. A thought ran threw his head like Lance Armstrong on a triathlon, what was he going to say to Misty's sisters? Misty…He grabbed his jacket so he wouldn't be so cold; and within seconds he was out of his window. He hit the cool grass with a thud, nearly screaming forgetting about his injured leg. Joy couldn't figure what could have caused such deep marks. The only thing she came up with was sharpedo bite, this worried Ash seeing how he was so close to having it amputated.

He limped over to the grassy cliff & sat down letting the waves relax him to sleep.

Then a small splash was made, Ash jumped up & looked over the cliff almost falling off.

"It's just a magincarp." He signed, for a moment there could have sworn it was her…

Misty held her breath from beneath the shadows of the cliff. "That was close." She whispered. Slowly she walked up the steep sandy hill barefoot. Her wardrobe had changed quite a bit, instead of her yellow shirt blue short outfit she wore a loose white & light pink summer dress that showed off all of her delicate young curves. Yes she still had the red eyes & neon pink hair that wrapped its wavy mass around her figure, close to her hips; her beauty glowed in the moonlight as if she were an angel.

She looked at the sleeping Ash & smiled. Quietly she crawled over to him lending over his adorable face, her long pink hair brushing over his cute pointy nose.

He blinked a few times making sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Misty?" he choked, heart caught in throat. This couldn't be real! This isn't happening!

She grew a big smile & shook her head silently.

"Misty!" he whispered embracing her tightly as if he would never let go, as if the slightest movement of release and she would disappear into the dark depths of her water chambers. He clung to her, taking in her sent delicately. "Misty how…why…I…"

"It was a gift…" she whispered using every bit of cute in her words, "From both royal families." She showed Ash her pure crystal star shaped jewel that around her neck. "It lets me stay human for however long I wear it."

"Misty…" Was all he could mutter. She was so unbelievably beautiful! Every inch of her skin look like it had been smoothed and painted by the Greek and Roman Gods! Her eyes were so bright and cheerful, though part of him missed her innocent blues, the red was nice…and oh so lovely.

"I hope you're okay…& not too made at me."

"Why…would I be mad?"

"About me kissing Richie & Gary…" she sheepishly looked away. "You looked so upset! I really wasn't in control of my powers…I'm still not."

"Oh Misty!" He laughed. "I was a little scared to be honest…like I wasn't any more special in your heart than they were." He took his right finger and lifted her chin so she could meet his gaze. "I could never be mad at you."

The soft sound of teeth chattering against the chirping cricket pokemon made him forget about everything.

"Are you cold?" He asked not waiting for an answer to drape his jacket around her.

"Thanks…" she whispered, tugging the jacket more comfortably around her shoulders.

"I'm not mad. In fact I don't really care, I was a jerk to you, calling you all those mean things, and I take it all back if you let me."

"Its okay…I deserved it." They both looked up at the full moon.

"Ash, can I ask you a question…" she sounded so little and scared, she felt like it too.

He didn't reply. But she didn't care.

"Do you mind-" Misty was gently cut off by Ash's lips pressing softly against hers. She felt her arms cling around his neck while one arm rested on the small of her back. Her body responded, her lips pressing slightly harder against his waiting for his mouth to open. It did and his tongue slipped in ever so slightly, dancing and savoring her taste. Ash slowly broke away, kissing her upper lip, then her nose, and trailing his lips up to her forehead where he took both arms and wrapped himself around her. She replied by resting her soft pink waves on his strong shoulders.

The sat there silently amazed by such an incredible bond they shared for one another.

"I love you Ariel." He whispered quietly. It was the last thing he said to the sleeping beauty before drifting off to sleep under the bright silver stars.

THE END.
