Chapter 16 Believing in Hope

After misty ran out of the pokemon center brock didn't know what to do. Nurse Joy felt that it was her fault because of what she said. She thought that she let everyone down because she wasn't believing in May or in herself. Brock thought that he let everyone down. Because he knew that everyone counted on him to be there for everyone.

Misty just kept on running she thought that brock would be the one to keep things together and now he was giving up hope. If Brock gave up hope then maybe there really isn't any hope? Seeing that Misty didn't know what else too do. She always thought that Brock was the strong one. He was the one that always thought anything was possible and that you should never give up. He even taught her to never give up. And now he was giving up. What was she to do. Misty didn't know what to do except to run. Run away from all this heartache and sorrow.

After a while Misty finally stopped running so that she could catch her breath. When she looked up she found out that she was in the same spot that all this happened. That this was were May fell and and where everything turned tragic.

Thinking about what all happened. Misty thought that maybe everything that happened, happened for a reason. Maybe she was destined to have heartache. Maybe May was destined to die and Ash was destined to be sad for the rest of his life. But destiny is suppose to be what you make it. May didn't make herself fall into the water and Ash didn't make himself sad. Everything happened because of a simple accident. But then how could one little thing turn so tragic that it had everyone that was once happy sad.

As she was thinking of this. She started remembering of a time when Ash was about to give up all hope because he couldn't find away around it. But then he said "I will never give up because giving up means giving up on yourself." Right as misty was remembering that she ran straight back to the pokemon center.

Nurse joy decided to go back inside and finish typing on the computer. Brock on the other hand decided to sit down on a bench outside and watch the clouds go by. He was thinking that maybe he shouldn't give up but he didn't have a reason to start believing again.

Misty finally showed up and saw brock on the bench. "Brock I need to ask you something." Misty said as she walked up to brock.

"And that would be." Brock asked looking at misty.

"Remember what Ash said when he was about to give up." Misty questioned.

"Yea."Brock said but was confused in what she was asking.

"Well Ash said I will never give up because giving up means giving up on yourself. Well I am thinking that may don't want us to give up hope on her and neither does Ash. Ash would never give up he would try to find away even if there wasn't a way he would still find away. I think that Ash is right. I think that if we believe then maybe she will be ok." Misty said trying to tell brock to never give up.

"Yea but, are you even sure that she is still alive or are you just saying that because you don't want to believe that it is true." Questioned brock because he really needed to know if what she was saying was really what she believed.

"No, I am saying this because I want May to live and I think she wants to live to. While I was running, I was thinking that May never gave up on you right?" misty asked.

"Yea . . . "

"Well then we shouldn't give up on her. She really needs us at a time like this." Misty said

"Well if you truly believe then I guess I will too. Thanks mist." said brock.

"No problem. I just thought that we should never give up hope because believing in hope is the only way to go."

Cartoonfan: Sorry I have to end it. I will try to post sooner this time. Is misty right is may still alive and is she right to still believe that there is hope?
