Somewhere Someday Chapter 2: Version B, a pokémon fanfic

When clouds above you start to pour
And all of your doubts
Rage like a storm
And you don't know who you are anymore
Let me help you find what you've been searching for

Misty Waterflower, Gym leader in Cerulean City, was acting very unusual. The townsfolk sensed something was wrong. She was currently trying to end a record 49 battle losing streak. However, she just seemed to have no motivation. At night, she stared up at the stars, and wondered if Ash even still remembered her. She figured he'd fallen for someone else.

Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a field and a river
Somewhere...
You can let your soul run free
Someday...
Someday let me be the giver
Let me bring you peace
Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a break in the weather
Somewhere...
Where your heart and spirit go free
Someday...
Someday it'll be for the better
Let this bring you peace
Girl, I know you, think no one sees
The weight on your shoulders
But you can't fool me
And aren't you tired of standing so tall
Let me be the one to catch you when you fall

The next day, she decided to take a day off. She collected her mail as usual, and went for a swim. Swimming usually cleared her thoughts, but not anymore… After swimming, she dried off and read her mail. Her eyes showed the slightest glimmer of hope when she came upon a letter from… Ash.

Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a field and a river
Somewhere...
You can let your soul run free
Someday...
Someday let me be the giver
Let me bring you peace baby
Somewhere...
Somewhere there's a break in the weather
Somewhere...
Where your heart and spirit go free
Someday...
Someday it'll be for the better
Let this bring you peace...

She opened the letter; the postmark indicating it was from Unova. Slowly, she read the letter. "Misty, I realize it's been too long since I've written to you. Things are going great here, although Dent is really making me miss Brock's cooking. Still, I can't help but think about you. No other girl I've traveled with has caught my eye. They may be downright beautiful, or smarter than the Professor, but you've got something they don't: Determination. You've always had that drive to succeed that I wish I could say I have. Knowing you, you've grown impatient and moved on by now, but I just want you to know… you're more important to me than you could ever understand. I hope you're doing well. –Ash" A new fire ignited inside of Misty. She knew exactly what she needed to do.

Let me bring you joy (bring you joy)
Let me bring you peace (bring you peace)
Take these tears that you cry and trust them to me
Let me give you heart (give you heart)
And let me give you hope (give you hope)
Be the one constant love that you've never known...

The next day, a new challenger entered the gym. The challenger was only a couple years younger than Misty, and had a strong team. However, Misty had her determination back. She gave the teen a run for his money, and ended her streak. She went on to set a record winning streak, that has yet to be broken.

A few days later, she wrote a letter back to Ash. "Ash, thanks for your letter. You have no idea how much you mean to me. Things back here were getting pretty gloomy, but thanks to your letter, I'm back on my feet again. I owe you one. I hope those two new traveling partners of yours know how lucky they are. Say hi to Pikachu for me. –Misty" A week later when he received the letter, Ash couldn't help but shed a tear.

Somewhere,
Someday
Let me be the one
Let me be the one to catch you when you fall
Somewhere [repeat]
Let me bring you peace...
Somewhere...
