TP1

Ash was surprised to see Serena. Not only that, but she was with a new friend who found her. Misty was a bit puzzled due to the fact that this was the girl Ash was looking for. What they wanted to know is how did this new girl, Iris, find Serena! They looked at them both.

"Seems like there needs to be some explaining." Misty said.

"I agree. Which is why I want to know why you left me in the forest." Serena asked.

"Well, I thought you'd be able to handle yourself. Due to the fact you were in the forest for a few days before you were attacked." Ash explained.

"That was only a few days. I might have been alone for a few hours, but when Iris found me. We were in that forest for two weeks. I doubt I could have survived." she told him.

"I'm sorry Serena. I didn't even know where to start looking for you." Ash informed her.

"She was probably a few hours away, by what she told us." Misty defended.

"Very true, but I know that what you did is childish and irresponsible." Iris told them.

"How was that childish when we couldn't even have caught up? Even if we were to look for her, she would be ahead. Plus, not to mention, we would've gotten lost as well." Ash said.

"Not only that, we should've reported this to Officer Jenny about this. Let's just be happy that she's safe and sound." Misty stated.

"Then let's continue on the journey." Ash replied.

"Pika pika. (I agree.)" Pikachu said.

"Axew ax. (Then let's.)" a small Pokemon said as it popped out of Iris' hair. This one is completely new to Ash as he pulled out his Pokedex.

It beeped twice. "Axew! The They mark their territory by leaving gashes in trees with their tusks as well as crushing berries they eat. If a tusk breaks, every time, a new one grows in quickly stronger and sturdier!" the dex explained.

"Wow. That's a cool Pokemon." Ash said as he put up his dex.

"What type is it?" Misty asked.

"It's a dragon type. I love dragon types." Iris told them.

"We going to head off?" Iris asked.

"Sure are." Ash replied and they all walked off together. After a while. "Tell me this. Where did you wind up at after that attack?" Ash asked.

"I was still in the forest. I didn't know what else to do." she said.

Flash back

"That night though, was rough for me." she told them as her flash back self is alone in the woods. "When I finally made a campfire I saw all these eyes staring at me." she told them. Her flashback self backs up slightly, being frightened. "I thought I was going to get attacked until Iris showed up." she told them. Iris' flash back self lands right in front of her and beams at her, turning slightly to face her.

"That's when I told her 'Don't worry. I can help you out.'" she said.

Flash back ends

"We weren't lost for long. Found our way back to the trail." Iris told them.

"Glad we did as well. Though we did have to stop on the side from time to time." Serena told them.

"Good to see your okay. Though, why is Iris coming?" Ash asked.

"I'm here to help out and make sure that won't happen again." Iris told him.

"Pretty lame excuse. Mine was for him frying my bike including he had to pay for a new one." Misty said.

"Same to my bike as well." Serena stated.

"Hey hey, don't get on me for that, Mist. You got yours back." Ash told her as he laughed.

"Very true, but...AGAIN!" Misty explained.

They looked to her then back to Ash. "Hey hey! I had to save her." Ash said with a goofy grin on his face, his eyes closed. Trying to keep Misty back by keeping his hands up in a distance, pushing them back and forth.

Misty was arching her body forward, keeping her face close to Ash. "Still, you could've been careful. I know Pikachu should have more control over these past 5 years." she said to him. 'What am I gonna do with him, ha ha ha.' she thought.

"Pika pikachu pi pika. (Thought the same thing.)" Pikachu said.

(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HERO. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.

They all traveled down the road heading for Cerulean. Ash glanced at Serena. "Have you decided, Serena?" Ash asked.

She looked at him. "On what?" she asked in return.

"If you want to go into gyms or contests. Possibly both." he replied.

"I still haven't decided. I know there are eight badges to get. What about contests?" Serena asked him.

"Five ribbons. Anyone can enter; but remember what I told you." he told her.

"I know, I know. Don't think I forgot." Serena responded.

"I know I didn't forget. After our journeys we had to go our separate ways." Misty said, trying to hide the sadness in her tone.

Ash placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him as he smiled at her. "I didn't want to part either. I knew you had your duties." Ash told her, a little sad. 'Wish we didn't though. That was a really sad day for me.' he thought.

She managed to hide the tears and wipe them away. "What happened that day?" Serena asked.

"My sisters called me and told me they won a cruise." Misty told her. "I know from then on I had to run the gym. They were always being irresponsible." Misty stated.

"Now we're traveling again. This time, on the same road to Cerulean City." Ash remarked.

"Wait! Are these the Cerulean sisters?" Iris asked.

"They are. Why?" Misty questioned.

"I know them." Iris told her.

"Same here." Serena stated.

"Not personally, though." they both said.

"I guess by all the stuff they advertise for their shows!" Misty said to them as they continued walking.

"You guessed it. By the way. Who's the guy with the black hair? The one who has a green shirt and tan pants?" Serena asked.

"Don't forget the red head band." Iris included.

"That would be Tracey! My sisters are always trying to get him in their plays. Basically do. Even talking me into them. From time to time, I get away for a decent amount of time." she told them.

"Is Tracey your boyfriend then?" Serena asked.

Ash felt really hurt when he heard that question. Not only that, he cringed as well. Thinking that they really liked each other. "Oh no! We're only friends." Misty said with a slight giggle, waving her hand, thinking that was funny. Now Ash felt relieved, but still thought she was still interested in him.

"Pika pikachu. (Hey look.)" he said as he pointed.

They all looked as they saw Mt. Moon. All of them smiled as they looked at it. "Is it time for the next full moon?" Ash asked. Misty looked at her Nav.

"Turns out it is." Misty said.

"Then let's go there." Ash replied. They all went to the mountain. As they went there they neared a cave. The same one Ash, Misty and Brock went to.

"This isn't the way. Why are we here?" Iris asked.

"This is the same place where we found the Clefairy. Remember buddy?" Ash asked as he rubbed Pikachu's head.

"Pika pika. (I do.)" Pikachu said.

Misty giggled. "Same here." Misty said as she got closer to Ash, placing her hand on his shoulder. They smiled at each other and at the cave entrance then looked back to it. Serena and Iris watched until the two until they turned around.

"You guy ready for Mt. Moon?" Ash asked.

"You bet we are." Iris said.

"Axew axew. (Yes yes.)" Axew said. Right before they all went to Mt. Moon, a head popped out of the ground. They looked and saw the Pokemon. Ash and Misty immediately recognized it.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Serena wondered as she pulled out her Dex.

It made two beeps. "Sandile! The Desert Croc Pokemon!" it explained. "It moves along below the sand's surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun. They live hidden under hot desert sands in order to keep their body temperature from dropping." it finished.

Ash got out his Pokeball, ready to battle it. "You going to catch it?" Serena asked.

"Will as soon as I weaken it." he told her, turning his head to look at her than back to the Pokemon. Both faced each other with glares.

"Dile. (Grrrr.)" it growled.

Ash enlarged his Pokeball. "GO NOW!" he shouted as he threw it. "FLETCHLING." he said.

The ball burst open and out came in a white light, Fletchling. "Fletchling. (I'm ready.)" the Pokemon said.

Ash pointed. "USE PECK!" he said. Fletchling pecked at Sandile, affecting it. "QUICK ATTACK." he continued. Fletchling flew in fast as Sandile went towards it. Right before the attack could hit, Sandile caught the Pokemon's wing in it's mouth, using Bite.

"FLETCHLIIIINNNNG! (AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.)" it screamed.

"TRY AGILITY TO GET FREE!" Ash said. Fletchling tried, but couldn't. Ash then got out the Pokeball. "RETURN." he called. The red beam withdrew Fletchling and he got another ball out. "COME ON OUT...PIDGEOTTO!" he said. Pidgeotto burst out of his ball.

"GEOT. (READY.)" he said.

"QUICK ATTACK." Ash said. Pidgeot flew in fast and hit Sandile. "GUST." Ash continued. Pidgeotto flapped his wings fast, repeatedly saying "geo". Sandile flew back, but landed. Effected by the Gust. "TRY A QUICK ATTACK TO FINISH IT." Ash said. Pidgeot used the attack and Sandile was hit and barely able to stand. Ash grabbed an empty Pokeball. "GOOOO POKEBALL." he commanded.

The ball flew through the air and bounced off of Sandile, withdrawing it. Landing on the ground and shaking, the red light on, everyone watched in anticipation. After a few shakes, the ball stopped and Ash picked it up. "I JUST CAUGHT A...SANDILE!" he stated making his pease sign pose.

"Pipikachu. (Alright.)" Pikachu said, giving a thumbs up.

"That's so childish." Iris claimed. Ash looked at her. "Anyone who does that hasn't grown at all." she claimed still.

"How so? I've been doing that for the past 5 years." he informed her.

"Still childish." Iris said.

Misty sighed. "Let's just get up to Mt. Moon. We want to be ready by the time it gets dark." Misty said to them.

"Why do you say that?" Serena asked.

"Because we're camping up there. That's how we did it before. Right Ash?!" Misty stated as she looked to Ash.

"Much like how I remember it. We watch the Clefairy dance then enjoy the rest of the night." Ash said.

"How long till it's dark?" Iris asked.

"Shouldn't be much longer." Misty said.

When night has hit, they all watched as the Clefairy danced around the moon stone. They all smiled at the site, seeing it as Beautiful. Misty was close to Ash, still wanting to show her feelings. As for Ash, he still thought she was only interested in Tracey. This wasn't going to stop misty, though. As they watched the Clefairy she peeked at his hand. Seeing it on the ground, his fingers arching it up slightly. Taking her chance she gently took his hand.

Ash had a reaction in him and took hold of her hand. Misty blushed as she smiled and scooted closer. When she did, she laid her head on his shoulder. Ash didn't notice, but his head laid on her head. Serena looked in their direction and saw the position they were in. When she did, Misty wrapped her hand around his arm as she cuddled into him. Ash, in a reaction, held her close. Serena was seeing love between the two.

It hurt her a bit, but she didn't know why. She had no crush on him for she didn't know him that well. Seeing him on TV and knowing he won a few other leagues is all she knew. As for what she was seeing was bothersome somehow.

"Been a couple years or more since we've seen this. It's amazing." Ash said.

Misty looked up at the teen she loved. "Yes. I agree." she said as she looked at him. "Not to mention, beautiful." she stated as she looked back.

'Much like you, Mist.' Ash thought.

"Pika-pikachu. (Really amazing.)" Pikachu said.

"A really great place for dates though." Serena said.

"Only if you know about it." Iris stated.

Ash nodded. "You got that right." he replied and held Misty closer on reaction.

During the night Misty and Ash slept next to each other. As she turned over, her hand landed on his sleeping bag. Pikachu was in the sleeping bag with Ash. Serena and Iris were out cold right next to them. The Clefairy and Clefable were asleep around the meteor. Misty clenched Ash's sleeping bag a bit, whimpering a bit. As Ash slept he turned over and placed his hand on her shoulder, sensing this. She calmed down in her sleep and got closer to him.

By the following day, they all were off from Mt. Moon. As they got onto the dividing path Ash looked around. "Well, I guess. This is where we part ways." he said, sadly. He wanted to continue on with Misty and admit his true feelings for her. That was until she took his hand. Ash looked at her, puzzled.

"Don't even think you're going anywhere. We're going to Cerulean. We still have things to do." Misty told him.

"Like what?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"If he's going there. So am I." Serena said. They looked at him. "He still promised me that I could travel with him. Not only that, but he owes me a new bike." she told them.

"Then I'll travel as well. I'm on a journey as well. There's no way am I missing out on anything." Iris said.

"Seems like we're all traveling together." Ash said.

Misty wrapped her arms around his. "Kind of like the old days. But, without Brock." she replied.

"You got that right. Let's head on out." Ash said.

They all walked down the same path together. Enjoying the scenery and everything there was. Not to mention the Pokemon that were around. That was until a Pidove caught Ash's eye. He stopped and grabbed his dex. It made two beeps. "Each follows its Trainer's orders as best it can, but they sometimes fail to understand complicated commands. These Pokémon live in cities. They are accustomed to people. Flocks often gather in parks and plazas." after he heard the data he grabbed a Pokeball. Misty stopped, seeing this. "What are you doing?" she questioned.

"Going for another Pokemon. Might be a third flyer, but it's worth it." he said.

"Oh boy. What a little kid." Iris claimed.

Ash hit the button. "Time to see what you're really capable of." he said, then reered back and threw it. "GO NOW! SANDILE." he called out. Sandile came out and landed on the ground.

"Sandile. (Ready.)" it said in a low growl.

The girls gasped. "But Ash! That's a Ground/Dark type. It's weak against flying." Misty told him.

"Not a wise move." Iris said.

"Even if it is. You gotta try to strengthen it past it's weaknesses. It'll be difficult, but I can get this done right." he told them. They all watched. "USE BITE. LET'S GO." Ash said to Sandile. Sandile charged in and about had Pidove. That was till the Pokemon flew up into the air. "REMAIN STILL." Ash told Sandile. The Pokemon did so as Pidove dived down. All the girls watched as to see what Ash was going to do. When it got close enough. "NOW! USE BITE." Ash told it.

Sandile opened its mouth as Pidove was inches away. It panicked until Sandile bit it. The Pokemon cried in pain as it was affected. As it finally got free it faced Sandile once again. "Use tackle." Ash told it. Sandile charged right at it, but Pidove flew up and dove in for another attack. "DODGE AND USE TACKLE." Ash said again. Sandile did and tackled it. "BITE! TO FINISH IT." Sandile did so and Pidove got swirly eyes.

Ash got out a Pokeball, enlarged and threw it. "GO! POKEBALL." Ash commanded. It struck Pidove and withdrew it. After a few shakes with the red light it stopped as the light turned off. Ash picked up the ball. "Once again. ANOTHER POKEMON!" Ash stated as he rose it into the air.

Misty giggled. "That's Ash for ya." Misty said.

"Yet, such a little kid." Iris claimed.

"Very experienced though. Due to his victories." Serena said.

"I know that as well." Misty said. 'I'm very proud of him. That's why I love him.' Misty thought.

"Let's keep on going. Towards Cerulean." Ash said.

"Cerulean! What for?" Misty questioned.

"I know you probably have to return home. I'll walk you there." Ash told her then he looked to Iris and Serena. "You guys can continue on. I'll..." "Not a chance. I've always wanted to go to Cerulean. It's like a city full of beauty." Serena told them.

"I'm guessing we're all going." Ash stated as they all began to go there.

"If you're from Cerulean. Why aren't you there still?" Iris asked.

"Because I needed a break from my duties. Especially from my sisters." Misty told her.

They all continued on their way towards Cerulean and it was a few hours when they had arrived. When they did both Serena and Iris' eyes were gleaming at the sight of the city. Seeing all the buildings and skyscrapers. They were amazed at the sight.

"The city is gorgeous. Way better than I imagined it." Serena said.

"Didn't you see it on TV or in pictures?" Iris asked.

"Only briefly." Serena told her.

"If you guys think this place is amazing, you aught a see Cerulean point." Misty told them.

"That is the most romantic spot in the entire Kanto region." Serena said.

"A really great place for dating, popping the question and marriage." Misty stated.

"An amazing view of Cerulean and the stars." Ash said. He then looked to Misty. She returned it.

"Not to mention a place for a first kiss." she said as they both leaned in slightly.

Someone cleared their breath and they looked. It was Iris. "If you two love birds are finished, we need to head to our destination." she stated.

They each gave her a glare. "WE'RE NOT LOVE BIRDS." they said in unison.

"Seems like you are, since you both said the same thing." Serena pointed out.

"YOU MUST BE CRAZY." they both said as well.

Both Iris and Serena giggled. "Deny it all you want." Iris said then went into Cerulean.

"I can tell." Serena stated as she followed.

Ash and Misty looked at each other then turned their heads away quickly with a humph.

'Though, I wish we were.' Misty thought.

'I only wish Misty knew my true feelings about her.' Ash thought as well.

They also walked into Cerulean, but their hands were touching without each other knowing. As they walked Serena did some shopping. Iris was looking around the city. Ash and Misty saw a small crowd in Cerulean in front of a small building.

"I wonder what's going on here?" Ash wondered.

A trainer heard him and looked to them. "Huh? You haven't heard?" he asked.

"No, I'm afraid we haven't." Misty informed him.

"Prof. Sycamore is here and is presenting new Pokemon and a new type of evolution." he told them.

"Huh? You're kidding?" Ash asked. They both went to the front of the crowd to see this and saw the Professor. In front of him he had a table with a few Pokeballs and a few stones in a ring.

"I hope you all are ready for this! I've spent two weeks in a new island area and found these." he told the crowd as he gestured his items. "Not only are these Pokemon, but also new stones that will possibly introduce a new type of evolution." he explained. Ash and Misty got closer to get a good look. Prof. Sycamore grabbed up a Pokeball and aimed it to the side and it opened; a Pokemon burst out it.

The white light became a Heracross. "Heracro. (Hello.)" it said.

"With this Heracross, it will show you all what this new stone can do." he aimed a stone at it and it shot a beam at Heracross. Once it hit, Heracross glowed white. When it did it's horn grew larger and in reverse. It's arms grew bigger along with the nose growing longer and the legs had a spike on each one.

Iris saw this and got Serena's attention "Look." she told her. Serena did and saw the glowing light as well and nodded. They went up and saw Ash and Misty close to where it is. The light faded and they saw that Heracross had changed.

"What is that?" Serena questioned.

"Wow! Look at that." Ash said, amazed.

The Heracross was completely different from what it looked before.

"Huh?! Wow." ash said in a whisper.

"Are you kidding me?" a voice asked.

"Hmm?" Ash wondered and looked. He saw a boy with dirty blond hair, pale gray eyes. He wore a black hoodie with an orange jacket and purple shirt underneath. To finish it off were tan pants with a belt and blue and white shoes.

"Looks cool and all but, it doesn't look super strong." the boy said.

"Why do you say that? You know looks aren't as they seem." Ash told him.

"Why do you say that? I know that couldn't beat my Pokemon." he told Ash.

"Then what about mine?" Ash questioned.

"Who do you think you are?" he questioned Ash.

"I'm Ash Ketchum. Reigning victor in Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh and the Kanto Battle Frontier." he told him.

"Ah! So you're the one who nearly lost the other two leagues." he mentioned.

I recovered from them and that's what counts as well." he told him.

"I would have still looked at my weak points. Seems as if you have a lot to learn." he told Ash, gig=ving off a smirk.

"I know I still have a lot to learn; I've come a long way." he stated.

"Seems as if your near loses didn't teach you a thing. Very tough trainers and nothing to show for it." he claimed.

"I have the trophies, which prove my victories. It's not the trophy that counts though. It's how hard you train and the time you get to know your Pokemon. There's more as well." Ash explained to him.

"Big talk coming from someone who isn't strong." he informed him, seeing if that got him.

"What are you talking about? Ash is an incredibly strong trainer. He won all the other leagues. That proves how strong he is." Misty told him.

"You would be...?" he asked.

"I'm Misty! Misty Waterflower." she told him.

"Then you're his girlfriend?" he asked.

"Of-of course not. I'm his best friend. We've been through thick and thin for years." she informed, trying to stop her blush.

"That proves he's weak. Especially to other trainers in a league, in the finals."

"What you say?!" Ash got up to him, ready for a fight until Misty grabbed by his arm, wrapping hers around his.

"Ash! He's not worth it. Let's get going." she told him, sincerely. They both walked off. As they did the boy saw that her arms were still wrapped around his and her head laying towards his shoulder..

"Hmm! Not his girlfriend, huh?" he started, as he grew a smirk.

Prof. Sycamore saw them as they were leaving as well. What really caught his eye, however, was the boy. "Huh? He looks very familiar." he said to himself.

Both Iris and Serena followed them, from a greater distance. "You think they're going to the gym?" Serena asked.

"Only one way to find out." Iris told her, with a wink.

They got to where the gym was, but Misty paused. She took in a deep breath and released it. "You okay, Mist?" he asked her.

"Just barely." she told him.

"Then what is it?" he asked and took her by the arms.

She immediately jumped into his arms and he caught her. Misty's arms around his neck as his arms were around her waist. She buried her face into his chest. "I left for a few days. Then when I saw you, I knew I didn't want to return to the gym for a while." she told him.

Ash was confused. "Then why didn't you want to return?" Ash asked.

Misty grabbed his hand and brought him to the gym. They got right up to the entrance with a sign on the door. Ash took a close look at the sign as it said (Misty is not here right now. A sub will help all trainers.) it said.

"Huh? A sub?" Ash questioned.

"That's right. I've been training someone for over a year." she told him.

"Bought time we caught up." a voice said. They both looked to see Iris and Serena as they approached. "We had been trying to keep up for a while." Iris told them.

"Oh my...! It's, the Cerulean gym." Serena stated as her eyes lit up with stars in them.

"What are we doing here?" Iris asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Misty said as they went in. When they went in they saw the entrance way before they would go to see the show. "Daisy, Lily, Violet!" Misty called out.

"We'll be, like, right there." Daisy said.

"We all can wait in the waiting room." Misty told them.

"Who's there?" a voice asked. Ash recognized that voice.

"It can't be." he said as he went to where the check in windows were instead.

"Ash!" Misty called out and followed him. Serena and Iris also followed.

As Ash entered the room he saw a tall thin girl. She had blue hair, covered by a white beanie with a pink Pokeball in-print on it. Her outfit was a blue V-neck tanktop with a pink undershirt and a white skirt. On her hair were cerulean hair clips and she had on dark blue knee high boots with white knee high socks to finish off her look.

"Dawn!?" Ash asked as he exclaimed.

The girl turned around and looked at him, recognizing him. "Heh! Hey Ash." Dawn said.
