Ash, Misty, and Brock and now ran their seperate ways to seperate towns. Ash ran as fast as he could down the Pallet town trail until he couldn't anymore. He stopped as he was gasping for air, Pikachu just sitting down catching his breath too. 'No.... It can't end like this... I still didn't tell Misty... I promised myself I won't leave until she knows... God I'm such an idiot...' were some of Ash's thoughts. he found a large rock and sat on it while recovering from that speed of running. He wanted to reach for his hat to re-arrange it but then he realized he gave that to Misty. He sighed and looked atthe hankerchief in his hand that she has given him. He noticed a note sticking out. He slid it out and it read Ash, I guess our time together is finally over. I was just thinking about everything that has happened over the past three years... so many changes has happened, and thus I noticed a few things about me too, Ash... I never had the nerve to tell you this before, but I just want you to know how much you mean to me. Ash Ketchum... I'm in love with you. I hope you reach the goal you have wanted your whole life, don't let anything come in the way of it. and finally, when worse comes to worst, there will always be a light that will shine through the day. Love always, Misty Waterflower We were strangers Starting out on a journey Never dreaming what we'd have to go through Now here we are And I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you Misty stopped in the middle of the Cerullean city trail, she crouched down and started crying, she was grasping onto Ash's Leauge hat like someone was going to take it from her. She took the cap and put it on her head ad she quietly mumbled "I'm such an idiot... and a coward..." She was circing and area of the path with her finger while stuck in her own thoughs. Once in a while huge drops of tears would drip down her face and onto the ground. No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected, what you did to my heart When I lost hope You were there to remind me This is the start Ash decidedly stood up. He decided it's not going to end like this. He started running through the bushes to cut through and make a shortcut towards Cerullean. Pikachu was just right behind him, trying his best to catch up. The wind blew freely though Ash's hair now that he didn't have his hat anymore. He didn't want to stop running until he found Misty. Life is a road, and I want to keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through At the end I want to be standing at the beginning With you Misty did a long sigh. She stood up and was ready to head towards back home. But she an odd feeling come over her. As if she should stop. She couldn't help it but she had a feeling that she should stay there for a bit. It wasn't normally like her to do something like this, but she just stood there and waited for something, someone, anyone... Ash... We were strangers On a crazy adventure Never dreaming how our dreams could come true, Now here we stand Unafraid of the future At the beginning with you Ash kept running, He knew he was almost there. He was almost able to to see the other route, he had all sorts of scratches on his arm from all the branches he ran through. He didn't want to stop. He didn't care. He just wanted Misty with him. And life is a road, and I want to keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through At the end I want to be standing at the beginning With you Misty decided to stay where she was, pretending to check over all the things she had in her backpack, and now Ash's old pokemon leauge hat was turned to the side on her head. She then heard some rustling in the bushes, Misty looked over to where the rustling came from, and she saw Ash fall onto his knees. "Ash! what are you doing here?" "Misty... I couldn't leave without telling you something..." "What is it Ash?" I knew there was somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark Now I know my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's going to tear us apart Ash took a deep breath "Misty... I'm... in love with you. I have been for the longest time. I always wanted to tell you it's just that everytme I tried to I..." Ash got cut off by Misty who was now kissing him. About after a minute, they let go. Misty hugged him as he wrapped his arms around her. She let out a sigh of releif. The one thing she always wished for, she wrote about in her journal, finally came true. And life is a road and I want to going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I want to be standing at the beginning With you "What's going to happen now Ash?" asked Misty. "Well... how about I come to Cerullean city with you and figure it out?" Misty had a smile on her face and she playfully tackeled down Ash. "I would love it." So then the couple got up, and together walked towards Cerullean city. And life is a road and I want to going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I want to be standing at the beginning With you
