Tomorrow is his first day as a trainer. He will begin his journey. Journey in the worlds of pokemon, life, friendship, and love. He looks to his left at the clock. It ticks, now reading 8:32. He lets out a heavy sigh. He and Misty had a fight. She keeps bugging him, asking him when he's going to start his journey. He told her he will start when he's ready. 'I shouldn't have to feel guilty about making her mad. I will start when I'm ready. I wanna start soon though. Can't wait to tell her.....' *hey, your phone's ringing. and you won't believe who it is. it's your love, misty.* Ash picks up his cellphone that his mom gave him. Sure enough it says Misty on the caller i.d. He presses the talk button and puts the phone to his ear. "Hello?" "Hi Ash. It's Misty." "Oh, hi." "Look, Ash. I'm sorry for getting mad. I just can't wait for us to start our journey together. You still owe me for my bike." "I know. I'm starting pretty early tomorrow. I want to make it to Viridian tomorrow afternoon. So try to be here about 6:30 in the morning, ok?" "Ok. Well, see you in the morning." "Ok, see ya." "Bye." "Bye, *click* my love." Ash presses the End Call button and puts his phone on his charger. He looks at the photo of Misty he has on his ceiling. It's when they are at a party and they were both dared to kiss each other. Secretly, inside, they loved to. On the outside, however, they were nervous. But, they went through with it. When they just kissed each other, there was a big flash. Someone had taken a picture of them kissing. Ash argued with the guy, but slipped him $20 for the photo. So, he put it on his ceiling, as a reminder of his first kiss with her. He, then, turns his lamp light off, and goes to sleep. *~~*the next day*~~* *ding-dong the witch is dead, which old witch, the wicked witch...* Ash is laughing in his bed, he's always loved that doorbell. He looks at his clock, it's 6:17. He realizes he still needs to get ready. He jumps out of bed, hops in the shower for 5 minutes, gets out of the shower. He dries off enough to where his clothes don't stick to him. He's got a nice body for a 14-year-old, but he doesn't like girls going ga-ga over him. He puts on his blue jeans, black shirt, red vest, pokeball hat, socks, and shoes. He runs to his dufflebag, throws in some clothes, zips it up. He also put in a few extra items like the picture of them kissing at the party, his journal, toothbrush/paste, brush, bathing suit, towel, travel items, and all of his pokeballs (he only has 7). He calmly opens the door, and walks down the stairs. He takes one look at Misty, and his breathe is gone. He is awed by how Misty looks. She's wearing a yellow tank top, Daisy Duke shorts with flowers at the bottom of the short legs, white tenni's with red stripes, and has her shiny, long red hair in a side ponytail. She's standing with her back towards Ash, talking to his mom. His mom motions that Ash is at the stairs, and Misty whirls around. He briefly sees a twinkle in her eyes. Then, it's gone. "What took you so long. We've gotta leave soon!" Misty ushers. "Woke up late. Is that a problem?" Ash asks while shrugging. "No, not really." Misty says, with such a lightness in her voice that can make Ash's heart melt and fall in love with her. Oh wait, he already did. "Cool. Well, I got everything we'll need for our trip to Viridian. I saved a ton of cash so we can get some camping stuff. We won't be staying in the Pokemon Centre all the time. Besides, I still need some stuff." "Ok. See ya later Mrs. Ketchum." Misty hugs and air kisses Delia. "Alright, dear. Ash, hunny, be careful. I'm only doing this because I promised your f...." "Don't even say it. Then, I won't be able to pay Misty off for her bike." Ash warns. Even though it was a long time ago, it still feels like it happened only a few seconds ago when those guys came to his house. "Ok, I will respect your wishes." 'Oh, Michael, if only you didn't have to leave that day. You would still be alive.' "Bye Mom/Delia." Ash and Misty said. Pretty soon, before Ash knew it, he and Misty were on their way. Misty decided to bring only 3 of her pokemon. Her Staryu, Phsyduck, and Goldeen. (misty doesn't have togepi yet. don't worry, togepi will be here soon...) Ash, being the impatient boy he is, can't take the silence anymore and decideds to liven the conversation up a bit. "So, Misty, I heard that Viridian is holding a contest for all sorts of stuff. Pokemon, singing, dancing..." Ash trails off. He wonders how Misty's gonna react. "Oh, awesome. Hey, maybe we could enter. I could enter Staryu into a pokemon contest, you could enter Pikachu, we could both enter the singing contest seperately, and both of us together in the dance contest. What do ya think?" Misty talked so fast, Ash couldn't understand a word she said. Untill, Misty broke his stare... "Oh, sorry. Yeah, sounds good." Ash is excited. He already has several thoughts in his head about what to do. "Awesome. *sigh* I'm tired. Let's stop and eat. Momma made some sandwiches for us. Want one?" Misty offers as she digs in her bag. "Yeah, a couple would be nice. 'So would something else...' " "Here they are...there ya go." Misty hands Ash a couple sandwiches, sits down on a log and watches the sunrise. "Ooh, ham and honey. Oh your mom knows me too well." Ash says as he sits down next to Misty. "Actually, I made the sandwich." Misty says in between bites. "Oh, thank you. 'Stale mate Ash, think of something!' "Nice sunrise." 'Doh!' "Yeah, it's beautiful. 'I wonder...' " Misty's cut off by this shrill. It's hurting their eardrums. Pikachu searches the forest, then comes running back to Ash. "Pika, pika, pi, pi, pikachu, chukapi, pika, chu! (Hurry, there's a hurt pokemon getting beat up!) "Oh, no! Misty come on!" Ash throws down his sandwich, grabs Misty's hand, and takes off after Pikachu. 'If this wasn't so serious, I'd be so embarassed.' "I see it." Misty lets go of his hand, and rushes over to the pokemon. A Beedrill notices Misty and takes off, stinger at the ready. "Misty, LOOK OUT!" Ash yells. He pushes Misty out of the way, but takes the blow in the chest. "Ash!" Misty yells, as soon as she figures out what happened. "Pika, pi!" "To, to, togepriiiiiiiii! (guess who?) =================================================================== Will Ash be ok? Will there be a new pokemon about them? What will happen at the dance? Tune in next time, same pikatime, same pikachannel. Sorry it's short. I promise the next one is going to be good. Till then, see ya.
