Misty sat in a room alone.

*Flashback*

  “I’d rather die, than stick around with you!” Misty yelled at Ash ”If you would then, go ahead, leave!” he yelled back. Then Misty thought ‘Why am I doing this, I should apologize’ then another voice added ‘You shouldn’t have to, he hurt you!’ “Fine then I will!” she yelled as she stomped off

*End flashback*

 A tear slowly rolled down her face “I should have apologized. It was my fault!” she cursed herself “It was my pride… that blurred my image on love… I love him… he hates me, and now it’s too late” she whispered. Just then a beep came on the intercom. A woman was speaking “We are arriving in Fuchsia in ten minutes I suggest you get your things, thank you.” That was all she said. Ten minutes later Misty was on a bus to Cerulean. “We will arrive in 20 minutes!” the guide on the bus told them “Togepi, you will see your aunties soon.” Misty reassured the ‘tiny tot’ Pokemon. The trip wasn’t all that fun. Twenty minutes later she was walking down the street, when two girls about the age of Misty turned a corner. One with long cherry red hair, wearing shorts and a T. The other with shoulder length, black hair, wearing jeans and a tank top. They stopped, and then simultaneously asked “Is that who I think it is? Misty!” the two girls ran down the sidewalk to greet her “Sara, Grace?” they took a while to catch up. They left as soon as Misty stood in front of the Cerulean City gym. ”Bye!” She took a deep breath and walked in. Misty walked strait to the practice pool and saw her sisters finishing up a routine and talking to each other as they sat on the edge of the pool. ”Do you like, think Misty will like the ending?” Daisy asked her sisters “I do!” Misty said as she walked up to them “Misty!?!?” they said simultaneously “You know, I think they should call you the ‘simultaneous sisters’ instead” Misty said jokingly “Very funny sis… why are you here anyway?” Violet asked. Misty then got a sad expression on her face and mumbled, “Just wanted to come here for a while…” “Somethin’ wrong sis?” Lily asked. “Nothing.” Misty said in her normal tone of voice. “You can like put your stuff away if you want, if you’re staying for a while.” Daisy added. “OK, come on Togepi” she scooped up the small Pokemon and walked to her room. “This is my room, Togepi.” She told it, but it was already asleep. She put it on her bed to rest and walked out to her sisters. “So, what like happened to Ash and that red faced guy? Brock.” Daisy asked. Misty couldn’t help it; she burst out into tears and ran out the door. “I think… she likes him… but I’m not sure he… likes her back” Daisy said “Who?” Violet asked “Ash.” she returned

 As soon as Misty got to the park she wiped her tears away and thought about what Ash had said once “Better late than never.” Ash was right its never too late to apologize. She quickly ran home strait to her room. She was surprised to see her sisters on their knees holding their ears. Togepi was crying. She picked it up and hushed it. “Thanks Misty.” Lily said as she got up but Misty was already down the hall. Lily picked up the note she dropped and read it.

Dear Lily,

See ya sis, and I suppose you already know about the fight between Ash and I. Well I realized that it’s better to apologize late, than never to have apologized at all.

Misty

Meanwhile Brock and Pikachu hadn’t been quite as sad as Misty, but Ash wasn’t enjoying Misty gone. On the outside he tried to act like he was happy about it, but inside he was torn in half. Ash sat by the fire, his chocolate brown eyes, glittering with unshed tears, laid upon it as it danced with glowing light. Pikachu was starting to get the feeling it was too obvious that he was sad (Nothing gets past Pikachu). “Pipi pikachu pi kachu ka-Ash I know you’re sad, why?” “Nothing Pikachu. Brock I’m gonna take a walk before dinner.” He walked off, Pikachu at his side. After a while he walked into a clearing with one big tree and a cliff that dropped right into the ocean. Ash stopped and looked down, then sat down on the edge. “Pikachu, if I had just one more chance I would forgive Misty.” Ash said sadly “Kachu ka pi chu ka-You like her don’t you?” Pikachu added slyly “No Pikachu” He said calmly he then gave Pikachu one of those ‘If you know what I mean’ looks. Little did they know Misty was hiding in the bushes watching them and listening to their conversation Ahhhh!” Misty looked up (Brock heard too) to find a whole group of Rockets had come and captured Ash in a net that’s almost impossible to move in. Misty saw this and went the direction of the Team Rocket HQ. She knew this from being captured once herself. She ran for hours. When she got there she waited on the outer edges of the forest nearby the HQ. Misty sat down and thought. Getting out was a synch, but getting in was another story. Misty walked towards the door. When she got about ten feet from the door a rocket jumped out, shook a fist and said, “If you want to get by girly, beat me in a battle.” With that he pulled out a pokeball and threw out Zubat. Misty saw this as a pushover and called out Staru to do a tackle. He was easily beaten. He quickly recalled his Pokemon and swung a fist at Misty. She took it by surprise and almost got hit. She kicked him and ran in the door. It took her awhile to find the prisoner cells but she finally got a guy to tell her where they were (Don’t ask). She walked around the maze of cells when she finally saw that unmistakable red and white cap. She walked up to the cell and said in a solemn tone  Hi Ash. It’s me, Misty.” Ash just turned his head the opposite direction and asked, “What are you doing here?” Misty saw this and said “Look Ash, I’m sorry about what I said the other day. The truth is I don’t think that I could live without you guys. It takes a lot to say this but, I love you.” Ash got a surprised face then got up and walked over to her and smiled “You know what Misty, I love you too.” He told her. Misty smiled too and hugged him. When she released, they looked at each other for a moment and leaned forward into a kiss (lucky all there weren’t any other prisoners-_-‘). “I’m sorry, too… Oh and I want to give you this.” He pulled out a pendant on a black string with a brass Vaporeon on it. “My mother gave it to me before I left on my Pokemon journey.”

*Flashback*

“Ash before you leave, take this.” Ash’s mother told her son while pulling out the pendant “Give it to someone special.”

*End flashback*

 A few minutes later after some catching up on what they missed, two guards came running down the hall yelling, “Get her!” The two guards weren’t holding her yet. But she was backed up against a wall. “Ash, think!” Misty yelled. Ash thought for a second, then climbed the bars and slipped through the space at the top. “Ow! That hurt. I’m never doing that again.” He yelled in pain as he landed. Misty ran up to him. He asked, “Can we find Pikachu and my other Pokemon?” Misty let go of him, face-faulted and said, “First get away from them.” They ran to the end of the hall of cells trying to get away from the guards. They ran through the door. As soon as Ash had taken one step out the door he ran into someone and Ash said “Hey, watch where you’re…” “Brock!!!” Ash and Misty yelled simultaneously. Then Ash yelled, “We’ll catch up later. Run!” They ran and saw an opportunity to get away. They turned a corner, sat down, and hid. “Well, what have we here?”…

 

Like the cliffhanger? Well just wait and see what will happen to our favorite trio “Pika!” I mean quartet, next time…
