Part 4

"Ash, are you O.K.?" Misty had Ash lying there in her arms, the cement covered in blood. "Ash, can you hear me?"
Brock and Tracey ran to Ash. Brock was reaching in his back pack for his cell phone. He dialed the hospital. Ash reached out his hand to touch Misty's face. Misty put her hand on his. Misty started crying.
"Ash u can't die..."
"Misty.... don't worry, i'll make it... I promise..."
"Ash...." They were looking into each other's eyes. Tracey looked at Gary who was still in pain.
"Ash, should we beat up Gary?"
"Tracey u can't! he has a gun!!"
"Don't worry Mist", Ash said ,"he's too stupid to bring more than one bullet." Brock and Tracey rans towards Gary and started beating him up.
"Mess with us huh?"
"U messed with the wrong group!!"
"Look at what u did to Ash"
"Think about how other people feel!"
"But u dont!"
"U only think about yourself!!"
Brock and Tracey had stopped and Gary was rolled up in a ball moaning with pain. It almost looked like he was going to cry. (Ohhh.. da poor wittle baby...) Brock and Tracey returned to Ash and Misty.
"Ash r u okay?"
"I think.."
"Brock, go find a maid or something and I'll try to find the nearest pokemon center."
"Right." So Brock and Tracey went to find what they were to find, leaving Ash and Misty alone.
"Misty..?"
"Shhh.. u shud rest..." Misty lay Ash's hand on her lap with her's on top.
"Misty there's something i have to tell u..."
"What is it Ash?"
'o.k. this is it.. i have to tell her... but what if she doesn't like me back? Just be confident Ash...' "I love you..."
oh great this is it.. this is the part where i get rejected....' Misty started to speak as Ash closed his eyes to prepare for the rejection.
"I love you, too." Ash opened his eyes as he heard the words that he had always wanted to hear from the first day he met Misty. Ash put his arms around Misty as they embraced into a kiss. Just then the ambulance came. They took Ash on a stretcher along with Gary (They can't leave him there like that!!). Misty rode in the back of the ambulance with Ash and Gary while holding Ash's hand.
"Ash u can't leave me...."
"I won't... i promise." He kissed her hand and held it gently. Misty touched Ash's cheek with her other hand and kept it there until the vehicle stopped. The people took Ash and Gary into the emergency rooms. Misty waited outside in the waiting room and paced back and forth for about an hour then sat down on the seats when she heard two familiar voices.
"Misty!" It was Brock and Tracey.
"When Brock and I came back, u and Ash weren't there so we came to the hospital."
"So how's Ash?"
"I- I don't know... He was just rushed to the emergency room with Gary..." Just then a doctor came out. Brock, Tracey and Misty walked up to him.
"How is Ash?"
"Well..." the doctor began, "Ash has a gun shot in his left lung, near the heart.... We've taken the bullet out. He will need some time to heal...and Gary just has a broken arm, 12 fractures: some in his other arm, one leg, his ribs, and his nose seems to be... broken."
The doctor left and Misty had a worried look on her face.
'what if Ash dies? He promised he'd never leave me...'
"I wonder how Ash is doin..."
"Don't worry Misty..." Brock put an arm around Misty while comforting her. "the doctors'll take care of him!"
"I hope your right...."
'where is the doctor? it's been an hour and ten minutes already!'
The doctor came out. Misty looked at him and he motioned her over.
"Doctor, how is Ash??"
"Well... we're still fixing him up.. he'll be staying for the night so I think it's best if you head home..." The doctor left and Misty slowly turned around and told Brock and Tracey that they had to head home. They entered the elevator and went to the Ketchum residence.
