Part 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ash woke up quite a early this morning. Pikachu and other friends were still sleeping. He got up from his sleeping bag and went to complete his morning chores. After sometime, when he came back he found others getting up, too. Cilan woke up and after getting ready he started preparing the breakfast. Iris and Axew woke up, too. Ash sat on a rock besides a great tree and watched the beautiful sunrise from there. Pikachu also sat on his shoulders admiring the scenery. Ash had a lot in his mind still after the vow he made to himself last night. He didn't realise that Pikachu was sitting on his shoulders. He took out the pink handkerchief that Misty had given him as a googbye gift. He again felt his eyes moistened up with tears. Pikachu said, "Pika Pi Pi ka chu pika?"(You are missing her, aren't you?") Ash startled and quickly said, "Pikachu, what are you talking about?" "Pika Pi Pika" ("About Misty.") "How do you know that?" "Pika chu pi pi pika pi ka chu." ("You were quiet and sad yesterday and today also. You really miss her, don't you?") "You are right Pikachu." Cilan called both his partners for the breakfast. Ash was not eating like he always did. He just kept on biting small bits of the bread Cilan gave him. Iris asked him, "Hey Ash! With whom did you travelled the Kanto region for your first pokemon league" Ash replied, "With Misty and Brock. They both were gym leaders of Cerulean City and Pewter City in Kanto. Brock travelled with me till Sinnoh, but Misty left the group soon. Here is our group photo." Ash showed them a photo that was taken after the Johto League. "Ash is this the girl with orange hair Misty?", Iris asked. Ash said, "Yes." "Oh gosh, she is really very beautiful, isn't she Ash?" "Yes, I do think so", Ash replied to Iris's query in a monotonous tone. "Pikachu! Pika pi pi pika pika chu!" ("Yes she is. And Ash is fallen heads over heels for her.") Pikachu said with a smirk in his eyes. "Shut up Pikachu!", exclaimed Ash turning beet red. "What did Pikachu say Ash?", Iris asked. "Nothing Iris, seriously." Ash quickly replied her. However Axew, being a Pokemon, understood what the Pikachu said. It quietly said what the Pikachu said Ash in the ears of Iris. "Really Axew? Did Pikachu say that? Oh now I understood why the Ash is so quiet these days. Probably he has very strong feelings for her and he is missing her!" ,Iris quietly said, hoping that Ash won't listen her. Poor Ash...he really has strong feelings for Misty. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's the End of the First Part.
