True Destiny I don’t own pokemon….yet! ~_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A true author will always trust his writing skills and shall not betray thee… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night was crucial on the trio consisting of Ash, Misty, Brock, and the always faithful pikachu “Ash, how much do we have to walk to arrive to this…party” Ash turned around then looked at his recently gotten poke-navigator “well according to this thing, we should arrive near night time” Misty dropped to the floor and gave a low sigh “but its barely noon, there’s still a long way to go and there will not be enough time to go get some decent clothes to attend prof. Oak’s party or celebration or whatever”. Ash had not really thought of that but he got an idea “hey Misty the next town is Rust bay city (yea…I created the name) maybe we could get some clothes there before we head towards Pallet” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Misty had been happy since they entered the mall which was very, very huge “I’m surprise I’ve never heard of this place” commented Misty as she quick paced through the rows and rows of hanged clothes “yea, its very big” Ash was glaring all around the mall as he admired its beautiful Christmas decorations that had been hanged around the top of the mall. He was enjoying the surroundings so much, that he did not notice the young person that was headed toward him until it was to late “watch it mister” Ash fell backwards but quickly got up to help the person he had crashed into “I’m really sorry miss, I wasn’t really paying attention to what I was doing” the young person got up and gave Ash a really big surprise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At first he just stood there admiring the beauty of the young girl though it wasn’t that which had taken him by surprise but rather the necklace she was wearing “that necklace…I gave it to you when we were little” the girl looked at the necklace and then at Ash “yes, you did…Ash Ketchum” a big smile came over Ash’s face as he embraced the girl into a hug “Luna…It’s really you” the girl blushed as Ash hugged her even more tightly “yes Ash, it’s me” they stop hugging and stared at each other “you are so beautiful Luna, I would have never recognized you if it weren’t for that necklace” the girl was blushing even more than before “Ash I’ve missed you so much, I just hope you haven’t forgotten our little promise” Ash stepped back and seem to be remembering something that made him shed a tear “of course I haven’t, and we will accomplish that promise together as we agreed all those years ago” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rest of Ash’s friends were still confused on what all the commotion was about “hey Ash, whose the pretty girl?” Brock asked as he went into his girl- crazy mode “back up Brock, she’s with me” Luna just giggled at Ash’s friend who now seemed a bit disappointed “Luna, I would like you to meet Brock and Misty, they have been helping me since I started my journey” Brock and Misty were astonished at the girl’s beauty and Misty seemed jealous “its nice to meet you Luna” they both answer “well guys, we’ll be over here by the café across the street, we got a lot of catching up to do” the couple left the mall leaving Misty and Brock still confused on how Aiko was related to Ash especially Misty “you think he’s like an ex-girlfriend of Ash” suggested Brock as he looked towards Misty who had a concern look on her face “did you hear me Misty?” she turned around and went back to choosing the clothes she was going to buy for the party. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash and Luna had been talking about their past and what they had accomplished until now “so Ash, that girl Misty, is she like your…girlfriend” the question took Ash by surprise “no, she’s just my friend but sometimes…” Ash turned around to look at the mall where he saw his partners paying which made him remember something “oh no, I didn’t buy a suit” he quickly took Luna’s hand and they went back into the mall but Brock stopped him “hey where you going pal, we’re about to leave this place” Ash pulled his shirt from Brock and explained the situation “oh, well better hurry up” Ash was about to do as he heard before another hand stop him “no need for that Ash, I got you one” he turned around to see Misty as she was taking a nice suit out of her bag “Misty…you shouldn’t have” Misty gave him the suit “here you go Ash, hope it’s of your liking” Ash grabbed the suit and gave it to Luna then he hugged Misty “thanks for remembering Misty, I don’t know where I be right now if you hadn’t been with me all this time” Luna was the one to be concerned this time, she remember their promise when they were little but now there was another girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The four teens walked out of the mall and onto the road once more “we only got two hours to get to pallet you guys” reminded Ash “why don’t we fly there Ash?” asked Luna as she took out a poke ball “because I only have one flying pokemon and we are too heavy for it to take us all-” Luna threw out a poke ball letting a charizard come out “now we can fly” Misty was hoping she could go with Ash on his pokemon but Luna was already telling him to get on. It wasn’t too long before they reached the beautiful town of pallet “we’re finally here you guys” Ash yelled in glee that’s when he noticed that Misty had been silent the whole way while he and Luna were together ~Maybe she’s jealous~ he thought to himself as the pokemon landed. They all headed towards Ash’s house to get ready for the party and to get something to eat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash’s mom was extremely happy to see Ash once more, she herself was already dressed for the party and had made some dinner for her son and friends to eat “ok guys, I have to go help professor Oak set up some decorations so I’ll go on ahead and you we can meet there ok, and Ash make sure you dress up nicely” Delia left the teens and each of them started to eat dinner before they got dressed “so Ash who will you with to the party” asked Brock taking both Misty and Luna’s eyes off their plate and towards Ash “well…I haven’t thought about that yet Brock, what about you” he quickly tried to change the subject. “well, I’m planning to take Gary’s sister, May” Ash couldn’t help but laugh at Brock “May, you got to be kidding me” Brock glared at Ash in a funny way “yea May, what’s wrong with her?” the laughing lowered to giggles then finally stopped “well at least I know who I’m taking” there was silence at the table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash stood up and walked away without saying a word “Ash wait up” both Misty and Luna stood up and went after Ash “what do you want?” said and irritated Ash “Ash calm down, don’t get all worked up because of this” Misty tried her best to comfort him but Luna seemed to be ahead of her, really ahead “come here Ash, let’s go outside” Misty was starting to feel that jealousy once more “I hate her, why she have to come and ruin everything between me and Ash…but after all it’s my fault for not telling him how I really felt”. meanwhile outside of Ash’s house “Ash, I think you forgot our promise” he didn’t respond to her question “tell me Ash…do you love her more than you did…me?” he hated being asked this type of questions it got him confused, he did not know who he really loved “Luna…I still like you but Misty…my feelings for you guys are so confusing” he covered his face which was now full of tears with his hands. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dania felt harsh for asking him that but she had to find out what he really felt for her that’s when she got an idea “Ash, tell me something did misty ever give you this” she took Ash’s hands from his face and gave him a long kiss leaving him astonished “remember all the good times we had together when we were young, all those things we said to each other and especially that promise we made” Ash looked at her and rephrased those words he had told her years ago “I promised I would find you one day and love you forever no matter what” she felt glee inside of her which made her give him one more kiss “I’m so happy you do remember…but sad at the same time that you may not be able to accomplish that promise Ash” he felt as if he had just broken the girl’s heart “Luna I loved you all those years ago and I still do” she had tears of happiness and leaned against his shoulder “I love you so much Ash and I hope you love me too” unfortunately for them, well mostly for Ash, Misty had been watching the whole thing “no Ash, please tell me this isn’t true” the girl was heartbroken she could not believe what that boy had done to her, on the other hand she still blamed herself for not telling him earlier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night fell completely as the moon descended from the sky’s above “it’s a nice night, isn’t?” Luna asked as she entered the living room where Misty had been sitting “yea…I guess” Luna saw the girls feelings for Ash on her face “tell me Misty, do you…like Ash?” Misty felt speechless at the question echoed through her head making her body tremble with fear “did you hear me Misty?” Luna sat besides Misty and looked at her straight in the eye “well I don’t know, since you came my feelings for him have changed dramatically, I don’t know what I feel for the boy anymore” Luna looked at the girls in a sad way “well one think is for sure, two girls can’t love one man” Luna walked out the house one more and headed towards where Ash was once more but before she got out she finished her sentence “I saw him first Misty”. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The four of them were walking down the road towards professor Oak’s house though Ash had not decided who his “date” for the night would be, “Ash, do you know if May is…well single?” Ash laughed at his friend as he had done before “I’m serious man, I need to know” Ash decided to help his friend out since Brock had confessed that he liked May a lot “look Brock, just act natural don’t go into your crazy mode do something nice that will make the girl like you” Brock thank his friend for the advice and went on ahead to pick up May leaving Ash with the girls “Ash, we have to talk” Ash turn around to see who had called thee “can’t we wait till the party at least” Luna shook her head and signal for Misty to come closer “me and Misty have made a choice even though at first we did not totally agreed on it, it was the only choice we could make in this type of situation…Ash, we want you to choose between me and Misty” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash felt pain and anger but mostly anger “I see, so now I’m just some kind of prize for you girls and I have to pick the winner of whoever will get me, well isn’t that sweet of you two…I can’t believe you actually agreed on something like that…you know what, forget about me for good” Luna and Misty felt guilty for what they had just done and wanted to go after Ash but the couldn’t even lift their feet “do you think he actually meant what he last said” Misty turned to Luna who was still staring at the distant Ash “I don’t know Luna, I think we hurt his feelings” Luna started to walk after Ash as well as Misty “well I guess we will just have to wait to see what happens at the party if anything at all” Ash wasn’t feeling sad but rather angry at them “Luna…Misty…why did you guys come up to this kind of thing, I’m sure I would have made up my mind sooner or later but you just couldn’t wait, well it’s best that you guys forget about me” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash arrived at the party feeling gloomy when his old rival/pal came up to him “hey Ash, why the gloomy face?” Ash didn’t look up at Gary though he wished to talk to someone he thought it would be better to see what happens “nothing Garry, just some…personal problems” Gary was confused and was about to say something when two young girls, one which he immediately recognized, came up to them “hi Gary, could you leave us for a moment please” Gary did as asked and left the trio alone “Ash, we came to apologize it was wrong of us to treat you that way, will you forgive us?” Ash looked up Misty and stared at her eyes those beautiful, aqua eyes that seemed to hypnotize him every time he looked at them “Ash you still with us?” Luna broke their little moment “Misty…Luna I have to confess you something…I’m in love with both of you” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luna wasn’t as surprise as Misty mostly because she had heard those words before but for Misty it was the first time she had ever heard those words “Ash you know you can’t live like this loving two girls at the same time” Luna looked at Misty in jealousy and then turned back to Ash “and I think you should go with me because after all we promised to love each other forever” Misty was about to interrupt Luna’s decision when Ash spoke up barely loud enough for them to hear “yes that is true Luna, but we were kids then and life moves on erasing old memories and making space for new ones” he shot a smile at Misty making her blush “so you are going to pick her aren’t you Ash Ketchum and I thought you loved me” Luna slapped Ash making everyone turn to them “I hate you Ash, I hate you and I especially hate the little rat you chose over me” she stormed off into the crowd “Ash, I’m really sorry if I had known this was going to hap-” Ash stood up and gave Misty that kiss that she had been wishing for “I love you Misty and it’s I who should be sorry if it weren’t for you I would probably never had the chance to see the real Luna” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rest of the night was swell for the two teens and especially for Brock since he and May had had a little glitch since the beginning while on the outside’s of the party there was a young girl sitting on the ground when Gary walked up to her “so Ash dumped you huh?” she looked up at him and was about to slap him as well when he sat besides her “you shouldn’t cry for that loser, you deserve someone better” she looked at him and asked “well how so mister?” he smiled and leaned closer to her “well what about a young PKMN Master like thee…” he finally kissed her making the young girl forget about Ash “well that was sweet, maybe there are better people than Ash in this world and if not, at least I already know one” he gave a grinned as they went back into the party holding hands… Fin
