*Three Years Later*
Nineteen year old matured Misty turned to see an excited nineteen year old matured Sharon come out of a shoe store carrying five bags of shoes and clothing. They were shopping again like Sharon had asked to; ever since they had moved to New York with Dan and Damien, that’s all she ever wanted to do. That and battle and kiss Damien who she was currently going out and was planning to marry, come February. Misty sighed. Although she liked shopping a good deal, it had sort of lost its delight after the first week…
She really missed being out on the road… Ever since that fight three years ago, she had traveled with Dan, but after 1 year he was officially named The World’s Greatest Pokemon Coordinator. After that, they had traveled far and wide, going to famous places and meeting famous people, the four of them becoming ones themselves. Now two years later, they had settled in New York where Britney, Max, Mary and Brock still visited them.
(“Where Are You Now?”)
Maybe I'd be better on my own.
No one ever seems to understand me.
It's easier for me to be alone.
But there's still a piece of me that feels so empty.
I've been all over the world,
I've seen a million different places,
But through the crowds and all the faces,
I'm still out there looking for you.
Sharon was an Ice Pokemon Master, Damien was a Fire Pokemon Master, Max was a Grass Pokemon Master and Mary was an Electric Coordinator and Misty was known as the Water Pokemon Master. All of them were famous. They never needed anything… Misty had everything she ever wanted and more… yet… ever since she had stopped traveling she felt as if something was missing… Ash…
[Chorus:]
Oh, where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all.
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait forever?
She had to admit it, she missed Ash… She loved him but what he had done to her was unforgivable. Yet she still wonder where he was now… Last thing she had heard was from Professor Oak… Ash had been competing for The Pokemon Master title and what was more he and May had been going out and had a steady relationship for three years now. Misty sighed as she tried to remember when was the first time she had gone out with Dan… it had been 8 years ago and they hadn’t broken up since… Although they had traveled apart for a time…
I write about the things I'll never know.
And I can't find a moment just to slow down.
It makes me think I'll never have the chance,
To figure out, (To figure out…)
What it's all about, (What it’s all about…)
So tell me (Tell me…)
What it's all about!
Still… even if Misty liked Dan a great deal, and had a great adoration for him, she had to admit, she loved Ash… And she wondered where he was. After all, they had been the greatest of friends, and things shouldn’t have ended this way… She just wished she knew where she was so they could…talk…
[Chorus:]
Cuz where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all.
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait forever?
But Misty knew Dan wouldn’t approve of it. Although Dan never talked about the fight, Misty knew he hated Ash for stealing her… innocence… In fact the very night Dan had come after her, he had taken her… So Misty very much doubted Dan would like it if she talked with Ash again…
Yeah! La, la, la, la, la, ooh.
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all,
And I still don't know ooh…
Misty just wanted to talk to him… She didn’t think, things between them would ever go back to the way they were… But she really wanted to become his friend again. They had traveled for a long time and she really loved their friendship… if she couldn’t save their love, she at least wanted to save their friendship… But she had to admit it… he had slipped away… Never ever to come back…
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all.
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Or do I have to wait,
Or do I have to wait,
Or do I have to wait forever?
Ooh yeah…
Misty laughed at Sharon who was grabbing clothes here and there. She was a fanatic of shoes and clothes as well as Pokemon and training. Well at least Sharon was enjoying herself. Usually when Misty went to shop alone, without Dan, she couldn’t help but think about when Ash left her…
(“Slipped Away”)
Na na, na na na, na na.
I miss you, miss you so bad.
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad.
I hope you can hear me,
I remember it clearly..
[Chorus]
The day you slipped away,
Was the day, I found it won't be the same.
Ooooh
Sharon and Misty waited for the limo to come, and take them back to their apartments. Sharon flipped through a magazine as Misty looked for the limo. Just as she saw it turn the corner, Misty heard Sharon scoff. Turning to her, Misty saw her sister frowning at the magazine
“What?” Misty asked.
“Hmpff…” Sharon replied with another scoff as she kept on reading as they got inside the limo, Misty behind her.
Na na, la la la , na na
I didn't get around to kiss you,
Goodbye on the hand.
I wish that I could see you again,
I know that I can't.
“What is it?” Misty asked more impatiently as the driver began to drive towards their homes.
“Go ahead and read it…” Sharon snapped throwing Misty the magazine. “Though I advise you not to throw up…”
Misty opened up the magazine and flipped to the article which angered Sharon:
Ash Ketchum has now officially been given the title of Pokemon Master, although many around the world have already called him by that title for almost a year. Yesterday however he gave a statement, [“A Pokemon master and proud!”] confirming his official title. Now almost all Master Titles have been filled.
Oooooh.
I hope you can hear me,
Cause I remember it clearly.
[Chorus]
The day you slipped away,
Was the day, I found it won't be the same.
Ooooh
Currently the titles that have been filled are: Grass Pokemon Master by Max White, Water Pokemon Master by Misty Waterflower, Electric Pokemon Master by Tyler Sayer, Ice Pokemon Master by Sharon Anderson, Fire Pokemon master by Damien Dawnson. Ground, Psychic, Magma, Steel etc Pokemon Masters are still free and unnamed.
Ash has also commented that he has been going out with May White, a close childhood companion of his. [“My best friend and lover…”] The couple announced that they shall settle down in Los Angeles where they have found a home.
I've had my wake up,
Won't you wake up?
I keep asking why?
And I can't take it,
It wasn't fake.
It happened you passed by.
Misty stared at the picture of Ash and May who were holding each other, dearly. Sighing she looked over the pictures of her and her friends with a smile.
“He didn’t deserve that title, if you ask me.” Sharon commented, disgusted.
“I like your picture.” Misty replied completely ignoring Sharon’s comment completely. “Damien’s too… and Tyler too… Ash is well…”
“Makes him look like a demigod, I know.” Sharon rolled her eyes. “That dangerous bastard doesn’t deserve the title…”
“Damien and Tyler look better though.” Misty yawned, giving her back the magazine.
“Hitting on Hallie’s and my boyfriend Mist?” Sharon grinned.
Misty laughed and shook her head as they pulled up to their apartment building. Misty helped take Sharon’s bags and proceeded inside to the elevator, where they went up to the highest floor.
Now you're gone, Now you're gone,
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere I can't bring you back.
Now you're gone, now you're gone,
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back.
“Dan? Sweetheart, you here?” Misty called out as she closed her apartment door behind her.
“I’m in my study hon!” Dan yelled back.
Misty carrying the magazine, entered the large study and saw her red orange haired Cerulean blue-green eyed and handsome twenty year old matured boyfriend.
“They have a new Pokemon Master.” Misty yawned sitting down as she put the magazine in front of him.
“Who?” Dan asked, curiously looking up.
“It’s Ash.”
“That bastard doesn’t deserve it.” Damn spat looking at the picture with disgust. “I like your picture…” Dan stood up and went around the desk to her. “Do you miss him…” he whispered putting his hands on her shoulder as he looked down at her.
[Chorus]
The day you slipped away,
Was the day, I found it won't be the same noo…
The day you slipped away,
Was the day, I found it won't be the same oooh….
Misty looked at Ash’s picture with a sigh. He looked so handsome… but she wasn’t about to jeopardize her special relationship with Dan… She loved Dan too much now… After all Ash probably didn’t remember her… He had slipped away… and she hoped never ever to come back… Even if she did miss him…
Misty looked up at Dan with a smiled as she stood up. Grinning wickedly she began to unbutton his shirt as she whispered, “No, how could I? When there’s a wonderful guy right in front of me?”
Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah…
I miss you..
