My name is Angel Kitten, thank u 4 clicking on my fanfic! It's all about Ash and Misty, the most cutest, coolest, adorable couple in the world!!! Read on, my friends but beware: I am an avid Misty fan, so it's Misty all the way, kapeesh?! Have fun! * * * * * * * * * * * "The Power of Two" Chapter 1 Misty's fearful encounter It was a hot summer day and Ash, Misty and Brock were taking a break from their busy trainers life. Because they were near the sea, Misty went fishing. She picked a nice spot in the shade and pulled out her rod, hoping to catch some beautiful water-pokémon. Misty loved the sea, so it was natural that water-pokémon were her favorite. As she settled down in the soft, green grass a pleasant breeze filled the air. It played with her golden-orange hair and it felt cool and pleasant on her pretty face. Misty sighed in content. "Hey Misty, caught something yet?" a voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned and found Ash, wearing nothing but his swim shorts. Misty pouted: "Nope, nothing so far..." Ash chuckled and made a spring, diving in the water. "Ash, you idiot! How am I supposed to catch something with you splashing around?" "Yeeeehaw!" *SPLASH* "Oh nooooo, not you too..." Misty wailed as Brock started to swim enthusiastically. He and Ash always liked to tease Misty if they had the chance, and most of the time it was splashing around when she wanted to fish. "C'mon Misty, you might as well put that rod of yours away and swim with us!" Brock shouted. Misty sighed. "I suppose..." she groaned in defeat. Leaving Ash and Brock behind, she went looking for her backpack to change. As she reached the edge of the forest a little, yellow colored mouse jumped in her arms. "Pika" it squealed in delight. Misty giggled and buried her face in its soft fur. "Hi Pikachu, are you coming to swim with us?" she questioned softly, caressing its tummy. "Pikapika pikachu chu!" the little mouse responded happily. Misty giggled again. "I'll take that as a yes..." Just then she spotted the three backpacks and sighed in relief. She opened the red one and pulled out a cute, pink two-piece. "How do you like this one Pikachu?" "Chu" "I thought so too... c'mon, let's go!" But Pikachu tugged at her shirt and pointed to Togepi, the little baby Pokémon, who was carefully wrapped in one of Misty's sweaters and sleeping soundly . " Oh don't worry about Togepi! He's taking his afternoon nap and he'll be safe here..." She glanced over at Togepi and Pikachu noticed a little spark of concern in her blue-green eyes. "You know what? I'll leave Psyduck here, so he can watch over Togepi!" She tossed a pokéball in the air, shouting: "Psyduck, I chose you!" A mustard-yellow, duck like creature appeared, holding its head with its little hands. "Psy?" it questioned confused. "Psyduck, will you watch over Togepi for me, please?" Misty asked sweetly, patting its little head. "Psy-dúck!" it confirmed her, proud that she had chosen him for this important job. Its red-head trainer smiled at him in approval and with Pikachu by her side, she went to look for a safe place to change. * * * Meanwhile, Ash and Brock started to get impatient. "Geez, what's taking her so long?" Ash questioned, pushing a few of his charcoal-black hairs out off his eyes. Brock swam to the shore and grabbed his towel: "Maybe something happened, we better go check!" The Pewter City Gym leader noticed a sudden concern in the dark brown eyes of his buddy, the latter pausing only an instant to grab his towel, before dashing off into the forest to find Misty. "Hey, wait for me!" Brock complained. * * * Misty quietly hummed a song to herself as she started to take off her yellow shirt, jeans and suspenders. She wasn't worried at all that someone might see her, because her loyal friend Pikachu was standing watch, ready to fry the unwanted visitor. Just as she had slipped off her bra and panty, a bush near her started to rustle and she heard Pikachu growling menacingly. "P-p-pikachu? Do you see something?" the pretty redhead questioned anxiously. "Pi pi piiii!" With a towel firmly wrapped around her, Misty carefully peeped through the bushes. Something was there, she could feel it and so could Pikachu... * * * Meanwhile, Ash kept a sharp eye out for his friend and his loyal pokémon Pikachu as he walked through the forest. I hope nothing happened... he thought in concern. Suddenly, a high-pitched shriek of fear reached his ears: "Aaaaaaaaah! Help, Ash!!!" "Misty!" Without further thinking he started to run, as fast as he could and he quickly located them. His fear melted away in a flash as he saw his red-head friend safely in a tree, anxiously clutching a branch and pointing to a small, green creature. With some closer investigation he recognized it as caterpie, the bug-type pokémon. "C'mon now Misty, this little fellow wants to play with you!" he teasingly shouted. "Get it away, get it away!" she screamed, having a trademark fear for all kinds of bug like creatures. A panting Brock appeared, both relieved and annoyed that it was only a bug. "Geez Misty, next time, don't scream like that unless your head is being chopped off or something..." he commented. Misty wanted to give a sharp reply, but was caught off by the sight of the little bug-pokémon slowly crawling up the tree. "Aaaaaaah!" she yelled again, climbing up to a safer branch. Brock sighed and carefully plucked the little caterpie from the tree. "Ash, get Misty out off that tree and I'll see this little fellow to the door" he said as he walked away with the bug-pokémon in his arms. "I can climb down myself" she snapped, slowly putting her feet on a lower branch. With that movement her towel suddenly started to slip. "Oh no!" she anxiously shrieked, letting go of the tree to secure the fabric. "Misty, you dimwit, don't let go of the tree!" Ash shouted angrily. "Why you...- whoa!!" Suddenly, Misty was dangling from the tree with one hand holding a branch and the other firmly gripping her towel. "Help!" "Yeah, yeah, now look what you've done! Don't worry, I'm coming up!" With those words Ash carefully started to climb up the tree. As he reached the branch Misty occupied, he extended his hand. "Misty, let go of that stupid towel and grab my hand!" "No, you little pervert! "C'mon Misty, I've already seen you a dozen times in your bikini..." "BUT I'M NOT WEARING MY BIKINI!!!" Ash's eyes widened for a moment then he slowly questioned: "You mean... you've got nothing on under that towel..? "Oh for heaven's sake! No! Now would you please call out Bulbasaur and help me out here?" "Oh, um... yeah" Ash quickly grabbed for a pokéball: "Bulbasaur, I choose you!" "Bulbasaúr!" the little creature cried, jumping out off his pokéball. "Bulbasaur, use your vinewhip to help Misty!" "Saur!" Thick, green vines reached out and wrapped around Misty's slim waist, carefully putting her on the ground. Still holding her towel firmly, she walked over to Bulbasaur and patted its little head. "Thank you Bulbasaur, you're the best!" she said sweetly. "Bulba!" it replied happily, before disappearing in his pokéball again Brushing away a lock of golden-orange hair from her face Misty turned to face Ash, who stared at her with a blush on his face. "What are you staring at?" she demanded, some redness appearing on her own cheeks. "N-nothing..." Footsteps announced that Brock was coming and a minute or so later he appeared, seemingly amused at the sight of a blushing Ash and Misty. Brock grinned evilly, it wasn't for no reason that he had left those two alone... "Am I interrupting?" he questioned in an innocent sort of way. He laughed inwardly at the troubled looks on their faces; they were such a cute couple, too bad they were also the only ones not to realize that... * * * * * * * * * * * * * So???? Watcha think????
