Key: **=ash’s thoughts ## = flashback PART ONE ******************** ##‘Ash… help me… no! please don’t let me go! Ash please!!’ ‘I cant hold on… MISTY!!!’## ‘Ahhh!’ The young pokemon master sat bolt upright in his bed perspiring slightly, this wasn’t his first dream about her that had taken place recently. He shook his head, trying to get the image of the beautiful girl slipping away from his fingertips out of his mind. ‘Ash?… honey what’s up?’ A pretty girl with a mass of chocolate brown curls lifted her weary head from the pillow she looked at him with worry in her wide brown eyes. ‘Nothing,’ he replied ‘Just… bad dream, that’s all’ he gave her a light kiss on the nose to reassure her that everything was fine and made his way into the bathroom. As he looked at his reflection in the mirror he saw what a state he was in, his hair was greasy with sweat and there were large black bags under his eyes. ‘UUGGH’ he shouted as he threw the glass soap dish at the wall. **What’s wrong with me, I have a great life, I’m staying in the penthouse apartment of an amazing hotel, I’m a pokemon master, and I have an amazing girlfriend! So why do I keep thinking of her! When will I get over it!** Having heard the shatter, Angelina made her way into the bathroom. Ash looked up as he heard her enter the room, he had to admit she looked beautiful, even after hours of sleep. She was wearing silk pyjamas that showed a lot of cleavage and her beautiful long legs. ‘Ash’ she whispered softly as she touched his arm. ‘Talk to me, it doesn’t take a fool to realise some thing’s wrong.’ He looked at her and he softened immediately ‘I’m sorry Angel’ he said (angel was his pet name for her) ‘I’m just so nervous about the big match next week’ he lied ‘I mean this could make or break my career as a pokemon master’ ‘Don’t worry about it Ash’ she whispered ‘Anyway, I know something that will give you confidence and take your mind off it…’ she looked at him seductively and started caressing and kissing his chest. ‘Angel… wait, I’m not--’ Angelina put a finger to his lips and started pulling down her shorts revealing lacy pants. She threw her shorts at him and ran into the bedroom awaiting his presence. Ash was a strong guy but this was to much for him to resist and he followed almost immediately. When he entered the bedroom he found her draped across the bed. Ash felt himself being drawn in, he couldn’t resist. He ran to the bed and leapt on top of her. He kissed her neck and stomach and then her lips. While they were kissing, he tried to remove her underwear while she worked on his. Soon enough they were both completely naked. This indeed was the perfect remedy for Ash as it was taking his mind off her. Or at least so he thought. As he kissed Angelina he couldn’t help but remember the night of her 16th birthday and the amazing moment that he had experienced with her, which she just shrugged off and claimed that she was ‘caught up in the moment’ and ‘drunk’. He tried to stop himself but the words just slipped out of his mouth, ‘oh, Misty’ he groaned. Almost immediately he knew what a mistake he had made. He felt Angelina stiffen on top of him and the warm steamy room suddenly seemed ice cold. ‘What did you just say?’ She said with daggers in her eyes. ‘uh.. Nothing hun… you’re my angel, I would never say anything to--’ ‘oh shut the hell up Ash!’ she said raising her voice. ‘I never thought you would be the type to say another woman’s name in bed!! Who is this ‘Misty’ then?!’ Ash winced as he heard the name ‘It sounds like the name of one of those hoe-groupies who you call friends!!! Who else have you been sleeping with behind my back then huh!! The whole lot of them! God I just cant believe how FU--’ ‘Angelina!’ ash shouted while covering her mouth ‘If you don’t calm down you’ll have the whole building awake and at our throats!’ ‘Yeah well, they won’t be the only ones who want to see you in pain’ she said with quiet menace. ‘Look angel, baby,’ Ash said soothingly trying to calm her down. ‘I don’t even want to hear it Ash!’ she said her voice was raising again. ‘I want you out! I want you out of my apartment! You’re lucky I even let you stay here in the first place! Now get OUT!’ she screamed. ‘W-what?!’ Ash gasped ‘But what am I supposed to do! I have nowhere to go and the biggest match of my life next week! Besides I haven’t been sleeping with any groupies!! Mi-- that girl I mentioned, she’s …she’s… a bitch from my past that I would rather forget about! Trust me Angel, I, I lo--’ ‘Don’t say it if you don’t mean it Ash’ Angelina whispered ‘and trust me, I’m not trusting anything I hear from you right now. Please just get out, I really need to be alone.’ she turned away and Ash could hear that she was now crying softly. ‘O god, Angel. Trust me I would never hurt you, ever!’ he reached forward to touch her arm, but this was obviously the wrong move. She turned away and slapped him around the face. ‘Did you not hear me before?? I said piss off.’ ‘Fine, I’ll leave you alone, but I am not letting you go easy, I lo-- like you too damn much, and I know you feel the same way. After all, you’re my Angel….’ With that Ash left the apartment having taken enough of his stuff to get by with him. He had left a few things on purpose as a reminder. As soon as he got out of the room he broke down. He fell to the floor and put his face in his hands. **Why? Why did I have to say her name for the first time since… since then… at that moment. God I’m so stupid, I just cant let it go, what the hell is wrong with me! Oh god sometimes I miss her so much it hurts. Wait?! What am I thinking, I don’t miss her, I hate that bitch! Or…do I? someone help me…** With that Ash entered a deep slumber of exhaustion. Right in the middle of the hall. ##‘C’mon Ash! It’s my sixteenth birthday in a month, we have to do something special right!’ The girl with fiery red hair was going crazy with excitement at the thought of turning sixteen and having an awesome party. ‘I don’t know Mist…’ an attractive boy with jet black hair exclaimed, ‘I mean you remember what happened at my sixteenth right? That wasn’t the greatest success…’ Ash recalled blushing slightly. ‘O Ash please! Just because you got drunk and made a fool of yourself doesn’t mean I’m going too! After all, I’m much more mature than you.’ she replied with a wink. ‘Hey!’ Ash replied, ‘That’s not fair, which one of us is on the way becoming a pokemon master!!’ ‘Which one of us is already a gym leader and has been since before you even had pikachu!’ she shot back with a sly smile. ‘Oh stop using that excuse!’ Ash exclaimed, beginning to chuckle ‘You haven’t even visited the gym in almost a year!’ and with this, he threw a pile of autumn leaves at her. As he watched them fall around her, he noticed how beautifully they went with the autumn red of her hair. He loved the way that she now wore her hair loose in soft layers, but still with her classic fringe! Man she really is beautiful… ‘Hey!’ she giggled in delight as she spun around ready to attack Ash back with a fresh pile of leaves. She stopped when she saw the look that Ash was giving her. She had never seen this look on his face before, there was only one way to describe it, a look of … could it be? Before either of them knew what was happening they found their faces moving closer together, there was nothing funny about the scene now. Ash could smell Misty’s sweet breath gently falling on his face as they grew closer together. ‘Misty’ he breathed as they drew even closer, ‘Hey guys!!’ the sound of Brock’s voice calling them suddenly bought them both back to reality, ‘Breakfast!!’ A blush soon formed on both their cheeks, ‘Uhh we should--’ ‘Yeah I mean--’ ‘Brock will be--’ ‘Let’s go…’ They both gave each other confused looks as if neither of them could really believe what had just happened and proceeded to walk in the direction of Brock both avoiding eye contact. ‘Hey guys, what you been talking about?’ Brock asked questioningly at the redness on both their cheeks. ‘uhh’ Misty struggled to think of an answer. ‘We were just discussing who to invite to Misty’s 16th party’ Ash broke in giving misty a wink. She returned it with a smile that could have lit up a darkened room. The awkwardness had been broken, but neither of them mentioned that incident again.## ‘Hey!, wake up ya bum!! Ya not allowed to sleep in the hall outside the flippin’ penthouse suite! What the hell d’ya think ya doin! Now move it before I call the bleedin’ cops!’ An angry hotel worker roughly woke up the sleeping young man. ‘uhh what, what’s going on…’ Ash said squinting in the bright light of the hall ‘I…I--’ ‘Hey wait a minute! Ya that Ketchum chap aincha?’ the worker asked with surprise. Ash nodded sheepishly. ‘What the hell are ya doin in the middle of a hall you should be livin’ it up in the suite, not outside the door!!’ ‘Yeah, long story’ Ash yawned ‘I was just leaving when… when’ Ash suddenly recalled the dream that had just taken place. A vision into the past that he had almost forgotten. **Misty…** The dream had recalled him to remember a side of her that in his anger and hurt he had almost forgotten. **Oh Misty what happened to you? You were so wonderful…** ‘O no! don’t start again! If you don’t get out in the next minute, I don’t care if you are the bleedin’ president, I’m callin’ the cops!!’ Ash could see that the worker was now past the shock and down to business. ‘Alright, I’m going, I’m outta here.’ As Ash stood up, the guard got a full look at how dreadful he looked. ‘Hey Ketchum’ the guard said a little shocked ‘I don’t know what ya been through, but ya better get ya blumin’ act together before the big match. My wife an I have put a lot of faith and money on you so ya better not lose, ya hear me!!’ ‘uhh.. Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind.’ Ash said, his mind still on her… ‘Ash Ketchum, I’ll need to see some identification please before you remove the pokemon in question’ ‘Ahh come on Nurse Joy … you must have seen me.. On TV!’ Ash pleaded with the Nurse as he remembered he had left his ID card in the penthouse. ‘I’m sorry Mr Ketchum, but I cannot allow that, there has been a lot of pokemon thieving in these parts over the last year and I just cannot take any chances.’ ‘uggh’ Ash was about to admit defeat when he heard a familiar sound. ‘Pika pi!!’ The small mouse like yellow and black striped pokemon leapt from behind the counter and into the trainers arms. ‘Pikachu!’ Ash said happily, ‘I missed you man!’ ‘O,’ Nurse Joy said embarrassed, I’m sorry sir, this pokemon is obviously yours, you don’t see affection like that all the time! But you must forgive me, you can never be too careful these days…’ ‘No.. no that’s fine’ Ash said now focusing on his furry friend. ‘Pi Pi Pika Pi chu?’ Pikachu said with a look as if to say ‘What are you doing here, I thought you were spending the night with Angelina (wink wink)’ ‘Yeah long story… I was kinda kicked out’ Ash said looking embarrassed ‘I’ll talk about it in the morning…’ Pikachu rolled its eyes and promptly fell into a deep slumber in it’s trainers arms. ‘Hey Nurse Joy!’ Ash’s attention was now directed back at her ‘You got a room I can crash in? Just for tonight?’ ‘I’m terribly sorry son but we’re completely sold out! A lot of people have come early for the tournament next week. And by the way, a lots of them have put faith in you Ash, so don’t let them down!’ ‘Yeah, so I’ve heard..’ Ash mumbled. **Now what the hell am I going to do! I’ve got nowhere to go and I’m totally beat! Well I guess I could call him, he‘s the only guy I know who lives round here… but we haven’t spoken since the incident, I guess I have no choice…o well, here goes nothing.** ‘Ring Ring Ring Phone call!’ The piercing noise of the phone sliced it’s way through the silent flat. ‘What the hell man… who is calling at this hour?!’ A spiky haired young man with dark skin and flat, small eyes made his way out of bed, groaning in the process. ‘uggh, wadayawant?!’ He managed to croak out as he picked up the phone. He heard heavy breathing on the other end, but no voice… ‘Well??’ ‘uhh Brock?’ a timid but firm voice could now be heard. ‘Who the hell is this calling me at god knows what hour, and how the hell do you know my name?!’ ‘It’s…it’s Ash’ Silence. ‘Brock… look I know it’s been a long time but, well man I really need a friend right now.’ ‘You have the nerve, the fucking nerve to call me after all this time and ask me for a favour, and even worse, call me you’re friend?!’ ‘You are my friend Brock, I know I haven’t been the best guy, but I--’ ‘The best guy?! You didn’t even come to her memorial service, she was your friend, and if that is how you treat them, I want no part in your messed up life.’ ‘She didn’t die Brock’ Ash whispered, trembling. ‘Yeah well she is as good as, if you ever went to visit her, you would know that.’ ‘You, you can visit her…’ ‘Well of course you can goddamn visit her. I go and see her every month, because that is what friends do. You can’t be bothered to even inquire at the hospital you’re so wrapped up in becoming a stupid fake celebrity pokemon master.’ ‘You know that’s not true! I love my pokemon and I have worked hard with them all my life!’ ‘Just like you loved her?’ ‘I never said I-- I mean-- that’s not -- don’t you remember what she did to me?!’ ‘You did more to her than she ever did to you.’ ‘Look Brock, I really need you, now are you going to help me or not?’ … ‘Fine, meet me in 20 minutes at the hospital’ ‘What, the hospital…where, why?!’ ‘Just ask for Misty Waterflower.’ Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. **O god.** **************************** Well that was part one.
