All My Way, On My Own Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the characters. Ages: Ash: 14, TR: 21, Misty: 15, Brock: 19, Kara: 9 Sorry if anyone else had this idea before me. I never knew or intended to take your ideas. This whole story is Ash's P.O.V., unless I say it isn't. Part: 3 As we reached the Pokemon Centre I looked into the window and saw Misty and Brock and decided to test the new me. Pikachu didn't like the idea of it. I walked in the Pokemon Centre. Misty shot up her head and glared at me with small tears in her eyes. "Have you seen him?!" She said a bit above her voice pointing at a picture. A picture of me. I sweatdropped and answered. "No," There was now a lump in my throat that would not go away. "Oh." Misty looked down sadly and then saw Pikachu. 'Oh no!' I thought. "Hey that looks exactly like Ash's Pikachu!" She says. "Maybe...uh...it's his brother..." I say stuttering. Pikachu is about to say something when I return him to the pokeball and put it in my new bag. "Oh, what's your name, because you look a lot like Ash?" She asks. I hadn't thought of this! 'What's my name???' I think hard to think of name for me. "Well?" Misty mutters. "Zac!" I say quickly. Misty nods this time. From now on I was Zac to Misty and Brock. I feel Pikachu's pokeball wiggling in the back and opens. "I gotta go!" I yell and run to the bathroom. I heard Brock say something before I dissapered. "Well when you gotta go, you gotta go," He says. I snort in return as I run in the bathroom. * * * I let Pikachu out knowing I will get at least a Thunder Bolt. I was right, a Thunder Bolt. "WWAAAAHHHH!" I call out. When the electricity finally dies down Pikachu asks a question. "Pika pi chu pi?" (What was that about?) He asks angrily. "I don't want Misty or Brock know who I am!" I say a bit above a whisper. "Pik?" (Why?) "Because, I don't want them to try and make me come back! I don't want to hear "Ash won't beable to do anything by himself." I say as I mimic Misty from a few weeks ago. "Oh," Pikachu says sadly. I walk back out to give Pikachu to Nurse Joy along with my other Pokemon. * * * "Sure Ash, I will take your Pokemon," I had told Nurse Joy my real name but asked her not to tell Misty and Brock who were not in sight right now. She agreed. I walked out of the Pokemon Centre by myself to go somewhere. I didn't know where though. I just walked on the sidewalk thinking about my upcoming life. 'What will happen?' I thought to myself. 'What if Misty and Brock were to find out who I was and drag me along with them again.' I soon found a stream and sat down by it and watched the Goldeen swim by. I heard some soft sobbing behind me and looked up to find a small girl known as Kara. "Hey Kara!" I yell from where I am. She looks up at me then looks away quickly. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She yells and gets up to run away. When she does she trips and falls immeadiatly. I ran up to her. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Leave me alone..." She gets up and runs away without tripping this time. "Huh..." I go back into the town more and head down the busy streets. Tomorrow I was leaving on my journey again and heading to Lasana City. I headed to the Pokemon Centre to get a room for the night. * * * I lay in bed with Pikachu by my side. Pikachu's soft snores filled the silent room. I was excited about tomorrow. Leaving on my journey by MYSELF. This would be the real test. To see if I could survive on my own. "I'm gonna be a Pokemon Master!" I say as I do my trademark sign. I sigh, smile, and go to sleep. * * * The next day I wake up to the alarm clock that was at the side of the Pokemon Centre bed. It was actually early this time. I threw on my new clothes. I was tempted to wear my hat but I couldn't. Pikachu started to wake up and now he was sitting up groaning. "Come on Pikachu!" I say. "Pika pika," (Yeah yeah.) Pikachu jumped off the bed as I made my way out the door with all my stuff. No one was in the lobby except Nurse Joy. "Bye Ash," She says as I grab a few muffins and leave. "Bye," I say. The sun was now just coming up and the sky was orange and pink. I took in a deep breath and let it out. I walked down the empty sidewalks to find a limp figure on the ground with a lot of bruises. "Kara," I say as I pick up her small body and rush her to the Pokemon Centre. * * * Only about an two hours later Kara was up and about. Turns out she was attacked by a spearow. Right now she was thanking me and jumping up and down. "Thankyou Ash!" She yelled. "Shhhh," I hushed her and started out again. As Pikachu and I walk deeper in the city I look back to find Kara a few feet behind me. I sighed and started to walk faster with Pikachu slightly ahead of me. "Wait up," Kara yells. I just walk faster to get out of her wrath of annoyance. Funny how some people, espeacily girls, would want you to leave them alone and then you do one little thing and they are all over you. A/n- three reviews and then I shall continue.
