Omg, chapter fifteen? Wooooo! I'm sorta estimating this series to be twenty chapters? Maybe more? Not sure yet. Anyways, a peep from a purple haired friend in this chapter. More about him in more chapters? Maybe? Anyways I don't own Pokemon.

Chapter Fifteen: The Female Dog

Misty hauled a green bag onto her shoulders and headed off to the bus stop. Serena was leaving today; Ash was all hers now. She grinned. She couldn't wait to say goodbye to the girl who had almost stolen her boyfriend's heart.

Would her plan work? Serena paced the room anxiously. How would he react? Ash wasn't that mean. But he could be brutal if he wanted to though. She munched on a cookie thoughtfully. Then the doorbell rang, and Serena scowled.

She peered out of the window, and jealousy filled her. The ginger girl was here. And she was hugging Ash. Perhaps I will do a bit more than a peck. I have the ability to break them up if I want, she thought. And maybe I should do just that. I shall make up a few things, shall I?

Misty smiled as Serena shuffled downstairs. She might not have liked her, but she knew that Serena had had feelings for Ash once. She looked close to crying, Misty noted, as Serena bit her lip. Leaving was probably going to be a tearful occasion.

Serena grinned inside. The Misty girl was falling for it. Now was the time, she screamed in her head, as Ash walked inside the room.

Then she did it. She gave Ash a peck on the lips. He stood still, stunned. Serena took the advantage of the silence.

"Thanks Ash. Last night was brilliant. It was good we could do it one last time before I left. I'll miss you."

And with that, she blew him a kiss, heaved her bag onto her back and left.

"No."

"Misty, it's not what it seems! Listen to m-"

"No."

"Please Misty ple-"

"No!"

Misty leapt up from the couch where she had collapsed into. She ran to the door, her back leaning against it. Tears streamed down her heart shaped face, and her expression screamed for him to get away.

"Get away from me. You filthy two-timer. You think I can be your friend anymore? Let alone be your girlfriend? You want to know what I think? I don't care! Go and find some other girl to trick and never come close to me again!"

She growled at him, and ran from the house, her bag in her clenched fist. Misty hated doing it, but she had to.

What was I to him? Just some practice girlfriend? She slumped on the side of the road, tears trickling down her cheek. After a few moments, she pulled herself up and walked slowly to the bus stop. She had to get home.

"Misty? What's wrong? Oh no, my Corsola, he did that to you?"

"M, please. Cheer me up."

"Oh darling, I'm coming over right now. Let me tell my manager."

"No! Stay there until you need to come over for school! Please, M, I don't want to ruin your timetable, I know it's busy."

"You sure? I can always rearrange it!"

Misty smiled. At least someone cared about her.

"I got to go now, sweetie, the boss needs me. Call me later, honey, and we can talk in more detail."

Then M hung up. Misty frowned, it didn't sound like someone was calling M. She sat on her bed, feeling lost, broken. M was starting to sound like Ash back in Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos.. She had always called him weekly, yet all conversations were two minutes long and ended with an excuse from Ash. She had only just broken up with him; was M leaving her too?

She started to cry, not as much as before, but these were silent tears that ran down her face and onto the bed.

No. He hadn't done anything. Serena had lied. What had he done wrong? What made her resent Misty? They weren't that close though, but had Serena been jealous? He clenched his fist tightly.

He had over to the gym; he didn't know what else to do. He knocked on the door nervously, would she answer? But out came Daisy.

"Misty's upstairs. She crying a lot and she won't eat or drink. Don't know what's wrong with her but I have to clean the pool." Daisy scowled and put on some neon pink gloves.

Ash tiptoed upstairs, and saw a pidgey leave a letter on the windowsill. Misty seemed to be out. So he picked up the letter and read it.

Dear Misty

Sorry I had to finish our call earlier than usual. Hope you're okay after the breakup. Just remember I can always come to Kanto. Speaking of Kanto, do you know why we need to go to school? League laws, yes, but it was actually because of underage people entering that play unfairly. Funny, huh? Bet they did that on purpose to make our lives miserable. Anyways, see you soon in September. Don't feel depressed, Corsola.

Love you always,

M xxx

Ash frowned. Who was M? It sounded like a boy. A boy replacing him. Already? He left the gym, his head full of thoughts. He decided to call a friend. A friend who knew a lot about girls.

"Brock?"

"Omg Ash! You know Brock? Oh yah, where's May and her little boyfriend? We should all meet up soon and paint our nails."

Ash groaned. Why was Harley at Brock's place? And why the Arceus did he want to paint their nails?

"Um hi Harley. I need to speak with Brock."

"Oh sure darling, I'll get him. He's such a sweetheart isn't he?"

Ash paused, not knowing how to respond. A moment later, Brock filled the screen.

"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you. Harley and Solidad are staying here for the moment, since Harley wasted all his money on the engagement ring."

"Wait, they're engaged?"

"Oh yes, Ash, I was surprised too. And a little birdie tells me you're going out with our red haired companion."

"Was. We broke up." Ash's voice cracked in the middle and his expression was pained.

"Well I suppose you need the advice from Brock, the mighty king of girls!"

Damn it, I forgot Brock was like this, thought Ash.

Ash lay on his bed after a three hour lesson with Brock. It was tiring, and Brock was a pain in the backside after a while.

But he knew he had to do it for Misty. He had to win her back. And M was a threat to him. M could take away years of hard work, years of worrying, confusion, unhappiness.

He walked over to the mailbox, to collect the mail, and a leaflet caught his attention.

'Cerulean City Sensational Sisters!

Apply for the male lead part in our newest water show! Bound to be successful. Rules and terms and conditions on the back. Sign ups start on Saturday.'

Saturday. It was tomorrow. It was his chance to get closer with Misty, apologise for what he didn't do. A picture of him wearing tights and a tutu popped into his mind.

"Oh crud. I'm gonna look like a fool. But Misty, for you I will."
