own Pokemon? If you do, I believe that you are insane. With all due respect, Enja.

Ash's P.O.V.

"She doesn't! She doesn't love me!" I sobbed as I ran through the forest. "I knew it, she 
didn't. She doesn't!" I could hear a faint "Pika pi!" in the distance. I didn't want to stop 
nor would I. Rivers of tears flowed down my flushed cheeks. The "thuds" of my feet 
hitting the ground echoed through the forest. Leaves blew by me in the eerie wind under 
the moon. 

"I can't believe she thought it was a joke!" I sobbed harder. My head hurt beyond all 
reason. I wouldn't stop running though. The drying tears that stained my face continued 
to fall to the ground. The cold crisp air made my ears cry painfully. I soon fell to the side 
of the road. I was breathing very heavily. I easily slipped into unconsciousness.

§ Flashback §

"ASH, GET UP YOU LAZY BUTT!" I bolted out of my midnight blue sleeping bag, 
shocked. 

"God, Misty! Can't you get me up more gently or at least normally?" I ask her. "Nah." 
That took me aback a little. I never tried to take the insults Misty threw at me to heart, 
but I couldn't help it. Was I really that dense and useless?

I take my green bag to the edge of the forest to get dressed. I set the red and white league 
hat on my head, in its proper place. I had kept my black tee on last night. I slipped on my 
pants over my "underwear" that my mom always told me to change. Right now, I was out 
of luck with that. Unless she wanted me to change to pre-worn underwear. 

After I stick my jacket/vest on I head back to the camp we were previously using. 
"Finally, Ash!" Misty complains. I just glare at her and waited for another witty retort. It 
soon came. "Be nice, Ash!" Me be nice? She was the one who yelled at me to awake me 
from my sleep and complain. I really hated to insult Misty but when she did insult, my 
ego told me to defend myself from heartbreak with the same method Misty was using.

"Me be nice, I wouldn't be talking Miss. Scrawny!" I call. "Me scrawny? You are the one 
who is totally dense and useless! I'm not the one who can't find his way around his own 
hometown!" That burnt. "Yeah well, I'm not the one who can't stop complaining or is 
afraid of a little, itty, bitty Caterpie!" "Yeah we-" 

"QUIT IT!" Brock yells, probably getting a headache from our immature behavior. I turn 
my back to Misty. She copies my actions. "Humph!" 

That day had gone by slowly, very slowly. It was gray and cloudy. It wasn’t what you 
would call pleasant. Brock watched us with curiosity. The eerie silence ended with 
Brocks voice. “Why won’t you two talk, you normally make-up within half an hour? Not 
six hours.” I said nothing. “Talk to Ash about that!” Misty demanded. “Ash?” I still did 
not answer. Brock and Pikachu sighed.

It was now getting dark and we were lost in the middle of the forest. Nothing-new here. 
Lost, Misty always blamed me. Brock always had the map. Not me. Misty had something 
against me. Something? What was it? I tried to be nice to her. Whenever I did she would 
just insult me. She never said thank-you. She always insulted me over my love of 
Pokemon. 

“Hey Ash.” I looked up and saw Misty. She sat down beside me. I started to blush wildly. 
“Huh?” 

“I’m sorry. It was me who started the fight.” “It’s okay.” I say. “WHAT, YOU LITTLE 
TWERP! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAY, “NO IT WAS MY FAULT!” I rolled my 
eyes and answered. “See, there you go again with your temper!” I say. “Oh, sorry. Gosh I 
hate myself. I guess you must hate me too.” 

“I definitely don’t hate you, I…I lo…love you.” I stutter. I was hoping that maybe our 
endless bickering would end here.

“What??? Yeah right, YOU ARE SO KIDDING!!! HAHAHAHA!” Tears started to leak 
from my eyes. Misty continued to laugh, soon rolling on the dirty ground. That was it. I 
stood up and ran away as fast as I could, tears falling from my eyes. Pikachu had just 
been walking into the camp and saw me run off and Misty laughing her head off.

§ End Flashback §

I soon came out of unconsciousness to find myself near a fire. “Huh, where am I?”

“Prepare for Trouble!”

“And make it Double!”

“Oh no, not them again,” I say quite annoyed. “Where’s Pikachu?” James asks trying his 
hardest to say that evilly. Instead he sounds pretty dorky. “He’s not here!” I sob. I start to 
cry again remembering what had happened. “Well go get him!” Jessie commanded. 
“Okay.” I say as I walk off plainly. As soon as I was out of they’re sight I sighed because 
that was just one of the stupidest things they ever did. They told me to go get Pikachu. 
No one was watching me, I could just walk wherever I like and I wasn’t planning to go 
get Pikachu.

I traveled to a clearing in the woods to sit down and maybe get some sleep. As I enter the 
forest clearing I hear sobbing. Not my own. Someone else’s. I stick my head through the 
bush. Unfortunately it made a loud noise. There in the clearing sat Misty. She was staring 
at where the noise had come from and that was where I was. “Oh no.” I whisper. “Ash?” 
Misty asks.

“Go away!” I answer coldly. I start to walk off in a fast pace. “ASH!” Misty yells. I soon 
hear footsteps echoing. My walking broke into a run. “ASH!” I hear Misty again. “I 
won’t stop!” I tell myself. I am soon tackled to the ground. I would normally be out of 
her sight by now but my tiredness and my fatigue had made me slow. “Ash?” She 
repeated quietly. I was silent. Mostly because my face was in the dirt and I couldn’t get 
back up because Misty had pinned me down. 

“Did you mean that? Did you mean that you really love me?” She asked. I nodded 
nervously. “You do? Well I love you too. I only thought that you were joking. I was cold 
then. It must have been hard to even admit it. And then have me laugh it off as if it were a 
joke?” More tears streamed out of my eyes. Misty unpinned me and let me stand up. “I’m 
sorry,” she replies again. I search her eyes for truth and honesty. I find it easily. “I love 
you.” I say. Misty’s face lights up as she smiles. “I love you too.” She jumps into my 
arms. Right then I knew our relationship had taken a turn.

“Hey how come we were made so stupid in this episode?” James asked pathetically.

“I don’t know James!” Jessie cried.

“Me neither.” Meowth added.

“How come?” James pleaded.

“BEACAUSE YOU WERE!” Enja shouted. Team Rocket easily shut their mouths and 
continued with their miserable lives.
