Dark_Jin DuelMonsters8080@aol.com The Race for Love Part 1 Author’s Note: I do not own pokemon………wait a sec.……..do I?...Oh yeah, no I don’t…lol okidokie… THIS IS AAMRN, Well I wanted to do this because it would be fun, and if this does bad, im okay with it. Ash: 21 Misty: 21 1/2 Brock: 23 Italicized words mean they are thinking it “ITS ASH, ITS ASH BROCK!” Misty screamed as Ash smiled at her. “A-Ash?” Brock said, as he was in a state of shock “Hey Brocko…”Ash said sadly “A-Ash, w-where h-have y-you b-b-been, w-why d-did y-you l-leave??” Said Misty still crying on Brock chest. “Yeah Ash?” Brock asked. “Well, I would’ve thought you would’ve figured out already.” Ash said as he held up keys to his Nissan Skyline. “So wait, you’ve been whats it called, racing?” Brock questioned. “Yeah.” Ash said very sadly. “Why, we were doing so well, why did you leave?!” Misty asked in concern. “Well uh, ya see.” Ash said with a sheepish smile. “Yeah, Ash why?” Brock asked. “I needed, uh some space ya, some space.” Ash lied. “Ash, tell us the truth!” Misty yelled. Ash sighed at this, he hated when she yelled at him, but at the same time, he loved it, it reminded him of the old time, and even then he loved it, she looked so cute when she was angry he thought. “Fine, fine I’ll tell you.” Ash said in a low voice. “Well?” Brock eagerly asked. “I left because…. I needed a way out.” Ash said while a tear fell from his left eye. “A way out, A WAY OUT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN A WAY OUT!!!??” Misty yelled. at Ash. “Misty calm down, it’s just.” Ash said trying to hold back tears. “Hm?” Brock asked. “I- I lost at the Indigo league, I won at the Orange Islands, I lost at the Johto and Hoenn League!” Ash said in a louder tone than a usual tone. “What are you trying to say?!” Misty still yelling trying to hold back tears. “Well, I was starting to lose faith in myself as a trainer, so I tried other things like inventing and carpentry, but I just didn’t like- “Ash was cut off by Misty. “ASH, MOST PEOPLE DON’T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE LEAGUE GAMES, AND YOU MADE IT IN ALMOST EVERY ONE, YOU ARE A GOOD TRAINER AND I KNOW IT!!” Misty yelled. “Misty, let me finish” Ash said letting more tears out. “Go on Ash” Brock said calmly “I was looking around, one day, I found myself In Saffron City, and I came across a shop looking for a job, I met a guy named Anthony and he said he would help me out, he taught me things about cars and, I actually liked it, so after a few days with him, he took me to a meet, which is when a bunch of racers meet up with each other to hang out or race, and I was just so fascinated with it, it, was just so right.” Ash said. “Keep going Ash.” Misty said now calmed down. “My first car was a Subaru WRX STI, it was blue and I won a lot of races, I made enough money until I sold the Subaru and bought a Nissan Skyline GT-R 34, it was so amazing, I topped it off at 218 MPH, I used some nos but it wasn’t a big dea- um sorry, got off topic a little.” Ash said sheepishly. “So, is that it is it, that’s it, that’s why you left me, er I mean everyone.” Misty said now blushing. “Why didn’t you contact us?” Brock asked. “I thought about it, but anywhere I go now I get challenged to race, and there are really dangerous people who race, and I thought you all would hate me for doing such a dangerous thing.” Ash said now looking down, his face covered by his Pokemon League Hat. Misty came up to him and held his head up, she looked at him and smiled, Ash’s face had tears all over. “Ash, I forgive you, but why don’t you come home with us.” Misty said. “I- I can’t not just yet, I still have one thing left to do, you came at the worst time, the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn’s best three racers are going to meet up and have a race, nine people in one race. It’s gonna be held here, were all going to meet in Fuschia City, the race will start first by going up Cycling road, then turn into Celadon City, then to Saffron and the finish line will be at the entrance of Lavendar Town, each city is a checkpoint, we are allowed to stop to refuel on gas, nos, or change our tires, or whatever we want.” Ash said. “And you guys don’t get caught by cops?” Brock said. “Well, cops do find us once in a while, but we have to get away.” Ash said while grinning. “Ash, when is this?” Misty asked. “In a week, I need to practice tomorrow, now I need to get sleep guys, all this has gotten me tired, night guys.” Ash said as he walked out of the room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day Ash, Misty and Brock were out at Ash’s friend Anthony’s garage. “Hey Ash, you hear about the drift race tonight?” Anthony said. “Drift competition, well I really haven’t been practicing with my drifting.” Ash said smiling embarrassed. “What’s drifing?” Misty asked as she watched Ash and Anthony install a new Cat Back Exhaust system in Ash’s Skyline. (For those who don’t know Cat Back Exhaust systems are a new exhaust system that are usually big, and help your car breathe better) “Um its, err, how do you explain, I just have to show you, after Anthony finishes bolting on the exha-“Ash was cut off by Anthony. “Done, lets show them what drifting is.” Anthony said this, then smiled and walked out of the room. “Um, okay, lets go.” Ash said as he walked to his Skyline, and got in. Misty was about to go in, but was stopped as Ash said.. “Misty, don’t, drifting is dangerous, I don’t want you to get hurt, just watch outside in our parking lot.” Ash said as he put on his seat belt or seat belts because he has four point harness seat belts. (Again for those who don’t know regular seat belts are like this: / or \ But four point harness seat belts go over you like this: X ) After a few minutes Ash was waiting for Anthony in the parking lot and Brock and Misty were sitting on a bench waiting to find out what drifting is. An engine could be heard coming out of a different garage door on the other side of the shop. suddenly a BMW Z4 came out going about 50 MPH and suddenly Anthony could be seen pulling on his emergency break and turning his steering wheel and his car turning to the side, even though he was facing a wall he was still moving, turning a corner. Everyone saw this and Ash could be heard revving his engine and started to move. “WAHOOO.” Ash yelled as he was going about 70 MPH now, he slowed down to about 60 MPH and pulled on his emergency break, and turned, doing a sharp turn. He was now facing a fence, but was still moving along the fence not touching anything, and he stopped. After about 12 minutes Ash and Anthony stopped in front of Brock and Misty, only about 10 feet away from them. Brock fell from the bench, but Misty looked at Ash with her mallet in her hand. Earlier that day Ash and Anthony took off the tint in Ash’s car, he wanted people be able to see his interior neon better. Brock got up as Ash and Anthony got out of there cars. “Ash, don’t do that ever again!” Brock yelled and started laughing. Misty started laughing, and Ash and Anthony quickly joined in on the laughter. The moment of peace was broken by a black car that pulled up to the parking lot. “What the, ah crap….” Anthony said as he looked at the car. The car was a black Dodge Viper with a triple decker spoiler, and a Body Kit, it has a HUGE exhaust. “HEY, ALL THE JOHTO RACERS ARE CHECKING OUT THE TRACK FOR NEXT WEEK, YOU SHOULD REALLY BE PRACTICING, YOU’LL NEED IT.” The guy named Rikki said. He drove off and Misty looked at Ash who looked a little irritated. “What’s his problem Ash?” Misty asked. “He’s just a jerk, he had a truck before and always followed people to there houses and didn’t leave them alone asking “Do you wanna race”.” Ash said rolling his eyes. “Now it just hit me, where is Pikachu, where are your other pokemon?” Brock asked. “Um, I left all my pokemon and Pikachu with Professor Oak.” Ash answered. “Oh, okay, well its about 5:00.” Brock said “Oh, then lets get ready to drive to the meet tonight.” Ash said. “Way ahead of ya.” Anthony said in his car already, I guess nobody noticed he walked to his car while they were talking. He drove off waving, and everyone just sweatdropped “Well, before we leave, you guys can take Brock’s jeep, because my car only has two seats.” Ash said as he scratched the back of his head and sweatdropped. “Um, can I ride with you Ash?” Misty said slightly blushing. Ash just smiled and Brock grinned. “Yeah sure Mist, you can come with me.” Ash said……Mist, Mist, that was her nickname he called her, she loved it. “Thanks Ash.” Misty excitedly said. Brock walked over to his jeep and started it up. “Hey Brock, you want a new engine, intake, turbo, or supercharger, exhaust, headers, coil overs, neon, anything for the jeep?” Ash asked smiling. ………………… Brock was lost…. -.- “Um, no thanks.” Brock said nicely “Well hmm my nos tanks are full, I just changed my tires, new exhaust is in, guess that’s it, lets GO!!” Ash said, Misty fell off balance from the sudden shout and Ash apologized.
