Dear Mist (For your information, I was carrying on like that because I assumed you'd keep on being immature like you usually are! :P )

I really don't know – personally, I'd rather be in your shoes than to have to see Max drag Brock away from a girl virtually once every three hours. Maybe you should superglue a piece of paper on your forehead saying "I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A DATE!"? Haha.

And the joke about the babysitting thing is way out of line, Mist. That wouldn't be another reference to my mom constantly telling me about my you-know-whats, would it? :(

Thanks for always rooting for me, Mist. It helps me a lot while I'm battling. But hey, don't yell at me about my quote. Maybe I'm just an awesome philosopher and you're too dense to admit it! ;)

Don't you worry about that – I'll make sure to bring along another Pokémon to take Pikachu's place! How does Bulbasaur and Chikorita sound? :D

Well, I took on your advice and told the group that we should spend a day sightseeing and just enjoying ourselves. We spent last night camped alongside the bank of some lake…I think it was called 'Midnight Lake' or something. Something to do with the time of day was in its name, but I forgot. Too preoccupied with the thought of more training!

May virtually almost choked me to death with a hug after we came across the lake when the full moon was up and reflected against it. Said it was the nicest thing she'd ever seen in her life, after the roses that she got from Drew. I wonder if she likes him?

…I'm starting to feel real nervous. About Sabrina, I mean. What if she somehow leaks our letters to some other people? To mom? And what do you mean by 'something going on'? Is there trouble at the Saffron Gym?

We're still on the way to Fortree City, and I'm writing this from inside the Mauville Pokémon Center. The road will long, and there's a countless amount of bushland and forests to get through. Hopefully I'll be able to reach the city by the time I write to you next.

Miss you always : )

Hey Ashy : ) (I actually thought of that just by considering the fact that you've been constantly dropping the 'y' in my name in your last few letters. That 'y' has to go somewhere, right? ;) )

If you really think that I'd be stupid enough to take on that kind of 'advice', then you clearly need another good shocking session with Pikachu to wake yourself up! What kind of idiot would superglue any message to their forehead? Well, besides you, of course. I can just imagine how content you would be with a sign on your head that constantly reads 'Feed me'. Truthfully, though, I'm getting kinda fed up…The number of serenades I've been getting has been on the rise – five since I got your most recent letter!

No words…just…no words…I wasn't even thinking about that when I talked about babysitting you! No comments on the whole 'philosophy' business, either. :S

Ha! You'll need all the grass and electric-type Pokémon you can get! You know you'll just get creamed if we had a toe-to-toe battle with solely water-type Pokémon! ;P

Don't worry, Ash. You're an idiot, but even idiots can learn to behave like ordinary human beings instead of overly excited Pokémon trainers ;) .

That's good for May. She's clearly happy with that kinda stuff, so keep it up. You'll be able to know more about a girl's feelings soon with time, I'm sure. And if you're still wondering about May and Drew, they clearly like each other. Make sure to give them some space together the next time you see Drew, and watch how things play out. You'll surely learn a lot of things for yourself that way.

And if you really need more enlightenment on what Sabrina means by that, I'll just say it out to you now. She thinks that we like each other. As in, 'crush' like, not just 'friend' like. I wouldn't be surprised if a whole lot of other people we know think the same thing. Brock included. The way they all react when they see us next to each other just gives it away.

Gotta go now. Best of luck with everything, Ash.

Love,

Mist.
