"Welcome back!" Latias stated rushing to meet Ash whom had just entered the garden. She then noticed he was deep in thought. "Did something happen during dinner?" she asked quietly. Ash shook his head. "Dinner went by perfectly, in fact I have something to tell you, but I did have a small argument with Misty back at the hotel that may or may not have ended up with me asking Lorenzo if I could stay at his place for the remaining time we're here."
-Flashback-
"Misty is looking for you right now." Brock said. "Where?" "Last I saw her she was outside. Probably thinks you ran off with Latias again." Ash sighed. "Alright, I'll see what she wants." He climbed off the bed and headed outside with Pikachu at his heels. "Sure you want to come with me? Things might get a little out-of-hand." Ash asked the electric mouse. "Pi Pikachu!" "Guess you're right. Sorry I asked."
"Misty! Where are you?!" Ash yelled cupping his hands together. "Pika Pikachuuuuu!" Ash and Pikachu both sighed. "We've been at it for 10 minutes. Where could she be?" As soon as he said this, a pair of hands reached out from behind and pulled him into an alleyway. "Aggh! Misty?! Arceus, don't scare me like that. Where have you been? I heard you were looking for me. Uh, hey, is something wrong?" Ash had finally noticed her expressionless face. Suddenly, she lunged forward and kissed him. Ash was caught off guard and couldn't move out of shock.
Once he regained his senses he shoved her away. "What the hell are you doing?!" Ash yelled. He glanced behind him to make sure nobody else was around. "You know I'm in a relationship with Latias!" he hissed quietly. "I know…" she replied quietly. "I know." Ash saw something in her snap. "Misty, don't freak out! We can talk it out!" he said forgetting his own anger. "Talk what out!" she screamed finally losing her cool. "We traveled together for so long and you choose her over me! Am I not enough of a woman for you? Is it because she's a Poké-" "Shut up!" Ash bellowed. Misty recoiled, having never seen this kind of anger out of Ash. He took a couple of deep breaths before continuing. "We've talked about his before Misty, but if you're too stubborn to listen to reason and accept our relationship then I guess I'm forced to play a new card." He turned on his heel and began to leave. "Where are you going?!" Misty screamed. Ash turned and glared at her. "You have no right to worry about me."
-Flashback End-
"And after that I went back to the hotel, gathered my stuff, and went over to Lorenzo's." Latias' jaw dropped at the story. "Ash! This is the exact opposite of what you said you would do! Now how are we going to get her to accept our relationship! This is a total disaster!" Ash watched her as she flew around in a panic and smashed into a tree. He walked over and helped her back up. They both sat down beneath her favorite tree and sat in silence. Nearly a half hour passed before Latias spoke up, voicing her worries again. "What will happen to us now?" she asked with a tear rolling down her eye. "Have you ever heard the saying 'Everything gets worse before it gets better.'? I think that applies perfectly here. Things will get better, my sweet dragoness. We just have to wait for the right time."
