Hi, readers, sorry for taking so long, I have been playing Zelda games on N64. (Lame Excuse). Italic means someone is thinking. In part 3, Ash and the gang finds Samuel Waterson on the blimp and Ash challenges Samuel to a battle.
Here is part 4:
“I challenge you, Water Pokemon Master, to a battle!” Ash said excitedly.
“What is your name?”
“I am Ash Ketchum from Pallet town, and I am ready to battle!”
“I don-” Sam (it’s short for Samuel) couldn’t finish the sentence, he sees Misty, by this time Misty also sees him, she stare at him for a moment, then she ran up to him and hugs him. “Sammy! I haven’t seen you for a long time and I am so sorry for what I said.” She said these words while her tears run down her cheek from her eyes.
Sam return the hug, “It’s alright, Scrawny, I miss you a lot, I almost forgot your nickname.”
Misty brakes away from the hug, dry her eyes with her finger, “Don’t call me that name, you know I hated it.” Misty playfully punches him on the shoulder.
Sam then notices her friends are waiting, but he doesn't notice the angry Ash, “Why don’t you guys get check in first,” then he turns to Misty, “Misty, can you meet me at the dinning area?” Misty nodes happily: her old friend is back.
On the other hand, Ash rudely storms in his room after checking in, dumping his stuff on one of the two beds. How dare him just ignore me and start hugging Misty like that, that little jerk!
“Hey Ash, what are you thinking?” Brock asks, he had also dumped his stuff on one of the two beds; he then sits on the couch.
“Answer this question honestly. If me and ‘Sammy’ battle, who do you think would win?” Ash asks, brushing Pikachu’s fur. Pikachu answers before Brock, “Pi Pika Pichu Pi.” (Of course we’ll win.)
“I haven’t seen any of Samuel’s battles, so I can’t really tell you who is going to win, but if you want to beat him, I suggest you start training, he IS the Water Pokemon Master. I think you should train your Pokemon to increase their speed, attack power, attack accuracy, and attack speed, then try to make your Pokemon’s attacks more effective.” Brock said all this very fast.
“Huh?”
“Think about what I just said, figure out what does it means, and try to learn all your Pokemon’s attacks so you can make it more effective, got that? I got to run, I think t heard girls calling my name.” He turns to gaga mode and ran out of the room faster than a jet.
Both Ash and Pikachu sweat drop, Ash said to Pikachu, “Some things just never changes, does it?” Pikachu shakes its head.
Ash lies down on his bed, Pikachu runs to the dinning area to get something to eat. Ash is trying to figure out what Brock just told him, suddenly, he hears a knock on the door, Who would that be? “Come in please.”
It was Kelly, Ash smile at her, “Hi.”
Kelly smiles back, “Hi, what are you doing?”
“Brock explained some Pokemon strategy and I have no idea what it means.” Ash said little embarrasses, he scratches the back of his head.
Kelly giggles a little, Misty had told her sometimes Ash is very dense, “Why don’t you use your Pokedex, I’m sure it’ll help.”
“Thanks for the tip.” Ash takes his Pokedex out of his jacket and start looking Noctowl’s attack info. Kelly decide to help; she takes her own Pokedex out, “Ash, what Pokemon you have besides Pikachu? I want to help you.”
“Thanks, Kelly. I have Bulbasaur, Noctowl, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Bayleef with me. The rest is in Prof. Oak’s Lab, they are: Snorlax, Kingler, Heracross, Muk, and 30 Tauros.”
“Wow, you sure have a lot of Pokemon, I will I could capture as many Pokemon as you.” Kelly exclaims.
“Well, I am a pretty luck guy.” Ash said. He and Kelly stay in there looking up good Pokemon attack, after what seems like hour, Kelly could hear Ash stomach make sound. Ash blushes, Kelly giggles again, “I guess you need some food, come on, I think they got buffet today, all you can eat.” Misty had also told Kelly about Ash’s stomach.
“What are we waiting for?” He walks out of the room and turning of the lights after Kelly walks out of the room.
They slowly made it to the dinning area, it’s huge; there are about 70 tables, and countless counters filled with foods. Kelly explains to Ash that all passengers get to eat free. Ash and Kelly start to get food. On the other side of the room, Samuel and Misty are taking easily, “So, how long you have traveled with Ash?”
“About 3 or 4 years, he taught me a lot about Pokemon.”
“I still wish we haven’t fight that day, we could of travel together.”
“You know it not your fault.”
Samuel looks at the direction where Ash and Kelly is sitting, “Who is that girl sitting next to Ash?” He points Kelly.
Misty looks, “Oh, that’s Kelly, she just joined us yesterday.”
“And who’s the squinky guy flirting with girls over there, I think he got couple of slaps on his face.” Samuel asks.
Misty doesn’t even need to look, there is only one person on this planet is the same person Samuel is taking about, and that person is Brock. “He’s Brock, he flirts with every beautiful girls, he wants to become the world’s best breeder, he is also the gym leader of Pewter City.”
“Talking about the gym, how I is your sisters, I believe they call you a runt, right?” Samuel asks playfully.
“Don’t you dare calling me that name, or have you forgot the taste of my mallet.” Misty said.
“I think I should get some food, I am kind of hungry.” He moves away quickly, not wanting to end up with bumps on his head.
Ash finally finished pigging out himself (if that’s possible), Kelly is waiting patiently. They see Misty and decide to join her, Kelly sits down, then Ash, and Samuel had come back with his food already.
“Are you going to battle me or not?” Ash asks Samuel impatiently.
“Let’s see.” Samuel pulls out a lap top from his backpack and type ‘Ash Ketchum’ on the keyboard, a second later, all of Ash’s data shows up. He skims through his data, “Top sixteen at the Indigo League, winner of the Orange League and five badge from the Johto League, am I correct?”
“Wow, how did you know that much about Ash?” Misty asks.
“I beat a guy with a Scizor and he gave me his lap top containing all information on all register Pokemon trainers.” Samuel explains.
“So are you going to battle me or not.” Ash asks angrily.
“157 wins and 48 loses, call me arrogant if you want to, but I haven’t lost even one match in my life, and battling you would be a waste of your time and my time.” Samuel solemnly.
Before Ash can burst any anger, Brock had pipe in, “I think he’s got a point there.” Realizing what he had said, he quickly apologizes. But Ash didn’t accept the apology the because he is very angry at Brock and Samuel, “BROCK, I THINK THE GIRLS SLAP YOU TOO HARD!”
Misty and Kelly giggles, Kelly suggests, “Chill out Ash, I think Brock is sorry.”
Ash ignores her and stormed into his room. Kelly wants to check on Ash, but Misty stop her, “Give him some time, he’ll probably forget it tomorrow and start pigging out at the buffet tables.”
“I think you are right.” Kelly said, smiles a little.
“They got a battle arena on the second floor, why don’t you go and check it out.” Samuel suggests. Kelly nodes and goes to the second floor.
Misty, a Brock and Samuel talk for an hour, and Brock decides to flirt with the girls again.
After Brock left, Samuel starts to talk to Misty, “Misty, I know this is a very selfish thing to ask, but canyoutravelwithme?” Samuel says the last part very fast.
“Huh?” She said it exactly like Ash.
“I wonder if, um, if you can travel with me.” Samuel said.
Misty is quite taken aback hearing this. She doesn’t want to leave the group, but she had promise Samuel she would travel with him. “I don’t know.” That all she could think of.
“It’s okay, tell me when you are ready.” With that he strides back to his room.
Misty, who is still in deep thoughts, decides to talk to Brock about it, since his older and should know what to do. She pushes herself up from the table, and glance around the room. She sees Brock getting another slap by the same girl, Misty makes her way over to him and grabs his ear, “Come on, Romeo, we need to talk.”
“Ow, not the ear, ow.” Brock said, trying to get free of Misty’s grip.
Misty pulls Brock all the way back to her room, she then loosens her grip on Brock’s ear. Brock seems very angry, “What do you want?”
“Samuel asked me to travel with him, what do I do. Do I travel with you guys, or travel with Sam.” Misty blurt out.
Brock knew something like this is going to happen, “Of course me, Ash, and Kelly don’t want you to travel with Samuel Waterson, but if you travel with him, you will a lot more stuff about Water Pokemon from him than from all of us. It is your choice, now if you will excuse me, I have a date to continue.” He exits the room.
To Misty, Brock had told her nothing she didn’t know; she yawns and looks at the clock on the cable T.V., it’s 8:30, she decide to take a shower and get to sleep. She comes out of the steamed restroom after a warm shower finding Kelly using her Pokedex.
“Good night Kelly, I going to sleep.” Misty yawns.
“This early?” She said, check her watch.
“Yeah, I like to think in the morning.” Misty said, fixing her gaze at the white wall; she still has to come up with an answer for Sam.
“Think about what?” Kelly stops pushing the buttons on the Pokedex, and stare at Misty with great curiosity.
“This can wait till tomorrow, I had a weird day. I am beat.” Misty said, yawning again.
“Okay, good night to you too.” Kelly resume looking up attack information on Snorlax.
The next morning is like every other morning, expect for the fact that they are traveling on an expensive blimp, and, to Misty, having one of the most important day of her life. Misty looks over to the bed beside hers, Kelly is in her pajama, and in her hand, she held a Pokedex.
Misty yawns and gets up, decides she should talk to Ash before he starts to pig out at the buffet tables. She bushes her teeth, washes her face, get dress, and ties up her hair. She gets out of the restroom wonders to Ash’s room. She knocks on the door.
Brock open the door instantly, almost giving Misty a heart-attack, he fix his hair a little bit, “If you want to talk to Ash, try to keep your temper down since he get real cranky in the mornings.” He turns to Pikachu, “What did say about me impressing the girls?” Pikachu jumps on Brock’s shoulder and said, “Pi chu pika cha pika pikachu chu piks, pi pika pikachu pi.” (I didn’t said you were impressing the girls, I said you were embarrassing you and me.) Brock had puzzle face as he stroll out the room, “Can you say that slower, I only got the part where I impress the girls.” Pikachu groaned, this is going to take a long time.
Ash chuckle through the conversation between Brock and Pikachu, he’s half awake and decide to get up. He pads through the room and stops after he sees Misty. “Good Morning, what do you want?”
“Good morning to you too. I have this question asked by someone and I don’t know how to answer it, so I decide to asks your opinion.”
Ash smirk, “Well, well, well, didn’t you always call me dense, dumb, and idiot? Anyway what is Mrs. Smarty’s question.”
Don’t yell at him, you are asking him a question, Misty thoughts to herself. “Sam asks me if I could travel with him.” Misty said, waiting silently for an answer, she tries her best to avoid Ash’s gaze.
“What did you say?” Ash said after ten minutes of silence, Ash speaks up.
“I haven’t tell him my decision yet.”
“What is your decision?” Ash questions.
“I don’t know.” She said barely above a whisper.
Ash sighs, “I don’t want you to leave, I don’t you think I would make it this far without you,” Ash paused to think about what he just said, “I mean the leagues, and my journey.”
“Oh,” Misty said, “Thanks for the complements.” She walks toward the door.
“One more thing,” Ash starts, Misty turns to face Ash, “It’s your decision, but I’ll always be there when you need me.”
Misty smiles, she feels like hugging Ash, “Thanks, and I will always be there for you too.”
Ash smiles back before Misty walks out the room.
Both Ash and Sam wants to travel with me on their Pokemon journey. What do I do? How can I choose? She stops her thoughts when she sees Samuel, she sit down next to him. “I can’t decide, you need to give me more time.”
“Take your time, I will be waiting.” Sam smiles.
Just then, Ash storms into the room, coming to the direction where Misty and Samuel are sitting, “I want a battle.”
“I already told you. No.” Samuel said, annoyed.
“Fine, but mark my words: one day, you will lose a Pokemon battle to me.” He goes to the battle area to train his Pokemon.
At that moment, Misty comes up with a wonderful idea. If I can’t decide whom to travel with, why don’t they let their skill decide? “Sam, I have finally decided. You and Ash battle, I will travel with the one who wins."
“Are you sure? Why though?”
“I can’t decide who to travel with, so why not let you two decide?”
“You sure?”
“I made up my mind, so drop it.”
“Same old Scrawny.”
“Shut it, or do it have to shut it for you?”
“No thanks.” Samuel walks away.
“Now, the hard part, Ash.”
“WHAT?” Ash scream as Misty tells him the situation, “Why did you do that?”
“Because I know you want to battle him.” Misty said.
“Look, I rather NOT battle Samuel Waterson risking YOU to travel with him. I rather Not battle him so YOU can stay with my.” Ash yells, now trying to catch his breath.
