Misunderstanding

Chapter 1: Thunder and Lightening

It was raining out. But that was to be expected. Of course it would be raining the day Misty had to leave Ash. It was trying to wash away the old to make room for the new, but Misty wasn't going to let it. She wasn't going to let the rain wash away her wonderful memories. She'd hold on as tight as she could before letting all her time with Ash be washed away just like that.

It was funny though. Normally Misty loved the rain. She pretty much loved water in all forms whether it was in the ocean, in a river, a lake, a pond, or the rain. It was always so beautiful yet ever changing.

But not today. Today she didn't want it. She didn't want the rain, the wind, or the change.

No one knew she was leaving today. Hell, she had just found out herself. She was sitting by a video phone in the Pokemon Center staring out the window.

Suddenly she heard footsteps come into the room. She'd know who it was any day. She knew his footsteps, his pace, and most importantly, she knew his presence. She turned around to see none other than Ash Ketchum standing in the door way.

"Hey Misty! What are you doing in here? We were going to leave for Pallet Town soon." He informed her.

Misty laughed. "Ash, have you looked outside? Do you think we're going to travel in that?" She asked pointing to the window.

Ash looked outside to see what she was talking about. "Wah!? Since when has it been raining like that?" He yelled, surprised.

She knew that he had really wanted to get home to see everyone so she smiled at him sadly. "It only just started. I'm sorry. I'm sure it'll let up soon." She told him cheerfully to try to make the best of it.

He sighed. "Yeah, maybe." He said as he sat down in the seat next to her. Then he looked at the video phone in front of her. "Who were you talking to?" He asked.

She felt bad that she was going to have to tell him now. She knew he'd be upset that she'd be leaving but he'd have to know sooner or later. "Oh, well I was on the phone with my sisters. You see, they won a trip around the world." She said.

"Wow, that sounds cool. So why do you look sad? Are you sad because you can't go?" He asked.

She chuckled. He could be so dense at times. "No, that's not it. You see I-" She was cut off when Nurse Joy entered the room with a bike on one side of her and a love sick Brock on the other side.

"Nurse Joy my darling, my love for you is greater than the greatest ocean! Deeper than the deepest sea! Taller than the tallest mountain! There is nothing I wouldn't do for you my sweet, as long as you just say the wor- Ahhh!" He was cut off by Misty pulling his ear once she had seen the frightened look on poor Nurse Joy's face.

"Come on lover boy, or else I'll throw you into the greatest ocean, or the deepest sea, or over the side of the tallest mountain." She said as she pulled his ear. She let go and came back over to Nurse Joy and Ash was already standing by her.

"Hey Nurse Joy! You remember me, right? I came here to Viridian City when I was just starting out my journey!" He told her.

The Nurse Joy laughed and shook her head. "Actually that was my cousin (?) who was here back then. But she did tell me to give this to a Misty Waterflower who would be traveling with you." She said, looking down at the bike.

"My bike." Misty whispered. It was the bike that Ash had destroyed so long ago. The reason she had followed him around for so long. Well, more like the excuse.

"Wait a minute, you're telling me that this is the same bike that Pikachu fried?" Ash asked.

Pikachu scratched the back of his head looking a bit embarrassed. "Pika pika."

Misty laughed at Pikachu. "Don't worry Pikachu, I forgive you." She said with a smile. "But how is it all back together again?" She asked.

"The old Nurse Joy fixed it up for you while they rebuilt the building." Nurse Joy told them.

"Wow." Misty said, remembering when Ash had taken her bike so long ago.

"So Misty, what where you saying before?" Ash asked as he turned to Misty again.

"What were you talking about?" Brock asked.

"Well Misty was on the phone with her sisters because they won a trip around the world." Ash informed him.

Brock smiled his thinking-of-a-pretty-girl smile. "Wow, I bet they deserved that trip." He said all dreamy eyed.

Misty frowned. "Snap out of it Brock!"

"Sorry."

"So anyway, I was asking her why she was kinda down about it." Ash finished.

"Well…" Misty began. "You see, with them gone, they need someone to watch the gym while they're not there. And well, they asked me to do it. And as a Cerulean sister I have to do it to keep the gym running." She told them. She looked up at Ash slowly and saw that he was looking the other way. He was looking at the bike.

"Well then it's a good thing you have your bike now. You'll get home much faster." He said without looking at her.

Misty's heart broke.

He didn't even care. He didn't care that she was leaving the group. She had been so wrong. He didn't care that she wouldn't be by his side anymore. He was just worried about how fast she'd leave.

"Well fine! If you want me to get home so quick I'll just leave right now!" She yelled.

She grabbed her bike and ran out the front door with it into the pouring rain.

She didn't even look back. She walked the streets of Viridian not really sure where she was going but just going. She didn't ride her bike though. She just walked with it down the wet sidewalk.

She couldn't believe that Ash didn't care. That after everything he seemed glad that she was leaving. She couldn't believe that he was worried about how fast she'd get home and out of his sight. She had thought he'd be upset. She had thought he'd maybe even cry. But now who was the one crying. Tears were rolling down her cheeks as the rain got harder. After a while she couldn't tell what were tear drops and what were rain drops on her face anymore.

It was getting darker too. She didn't know how long she had been walking but it only seemed like a few minutes. She looked at her watch and was surprised to see she had been walking for five hours! It was now seven o'clock and that was why it was getting dark. Suddenly she heard thunder boom through the sky and she became a little worried. She had no idea where she was anymore. She found herself walking down dark allies and places that she didn't know were in Viridian city. She knew she needed to find shelter but she didn't know where she could. All the buildings she saw were old and boarded up.

She eventually saw a path leading out of the city and a huge tree in the grassy field just beyond the city. She figured that would shield her from the rain at least. She ran to the tree and sat under it, not feeling as save as she thought she would.

Suddenly lightening came out of nowhere and hit the giant tree. Suddenly it was raining branches and she was scared one would hit her. Then she saw a huge branch, probably the size of a normal sized tree coming down right for her! She was too scared to do anything so she ducked and closed her eyes hoping it wouldn't hit her.

Then right before the impact, she was suddenly being shoved out of the way and she landed on the ground hard, with someone on top of her. She heard the branch fall and hit the ground and the bark on it shattered.

She looked up only to see Ash's face next to her. He was looking down at her worried when they hit. The bark that was shattered from the branch was flying in all directions and it would've hit Misty had Ash not been shielding her so he was being hit with the pieces of bark instead. His face showed that it hurt but he just looked down at her and smiled.

When the last of the bark hit him she sat up quickly.

"Ash, we have to get out of here." She told him. She was so angry at him for so many different things but she could yell at him later.

She got up and pulled her bike up off the ground. She got on it and helped Ash onto the back of it while he held on to her. She rode the bike out from under the tree, knowing that was not such a save place and rode back into the city. After some looking she found a boarded up building that had a broken window that wasn't boarded up. She stopped and helped Ash into the building.

Once they were out of the rain she could look over at him. To her shock, he was smiling. That stupid and courageous smile that she wanted to slap right off his face right now.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Am I ok!? Of course I'm ok! I'm not the idiot who jumped under a giant falling branch!! What were you thinking!! And look at you now!!!" She screamed.

"What was I thinking?! I saved your butt! You should be happy I was there! You should be thanking me!" He yelled back.

"I can take care of myself!" She yelled.

"Really? Cause it didn't look like you could back there." He said in a smug tone.

Misty was fuming. But she suddenly forgot her anger when she saw him wince. Her face relaxed and she walked to his back. "Let me see the damage." She said with a sigh, not feeling up to finishing the argument.

Ash frowned. "I'm fine. I, unlike you, really can take care of myself." He told her.

She just rolled her eyes and took off his shirt to get a look at his back. "Hey!" He protested but the shirt was already off and he didn't look like moving would help his back at the moment.

Misty frowned. His back was full of scratches and red marks in most places that would be bruises. But what really got Misty was the one giant gash in the middle of his back. She took her bag and opened it, only to pull Togepi out of it (since she had put Togepi inside the bag when she had gone out into the storm in the first place) and then looked through it to find her first aid kit. When she took out Togepi she remembered Pikachu.

"Ash, where's Pikachu?" She asked.

"He's at the pokemon center with Brock." He told her.

"Oh." Was all she said as she began to put some medicine on Ash's back.

"Ow! That stings!! What are you putting on it?" He yelled.

"I'm putting some medicine on it, now stop being a baby. If you hadn't been stupid, then you wouldn't be in pain right now." She told him.

"But you would." He said silently. She ignored him and was soon putting a bandage on his wound. She finished up and put her kit back in her bag.

"That's all I can do until we get to the Pokemon Center but it looks like we're gonna have to wait until tomorrow." She told him, as she looked outside.

Ash sighed. "Guess so…" He said quietly.

I love action. Anyway, review, tell me some parts you liked or a line or two and please if you have ideas about the last chapter or anything that you think would be cool if it happened it'll really help with the story.
