~ Part 9: Forgiven? ~
Ash
ran back into the small computer room. He had just remembered what he had to do
before he was to be killed. Lucky man! He hurried up and began to finish the
story.

The next day was the competition. I had a plan. A plan
that had to be foolproof! I of course had personally spent a lot of time
praying over the night that this was going to work. I had to bribe a whole lot
of people and I had a nice large dent in my wallet.
Since I was the new master of all pokemon,
I was supposed to speak. Give a speech about, you know, the usual stuff. ‘If
you don’t win, your still all winners, just less than the actual champion.’ You
know, that kind of thing. I’m sure you’ve all heard it one time or another.
So the president of the water pokemon
championship talks a bit, and then it’s my turn to speak.
“OK EVERYONE! It’s time for the pokemon
master to speak!”
Fortunately, for all who are wondering, I
did remember to change my clothes so I wasn’t just wearing my one and only
disguise. I cringed as I heard the many girls calling out whistles and ‘I LOVE
YOU ASH KETCHUM!’ I saw Misty hidden in the crowd, she cringed at all the girls
ooing and aaahing over me. Even I, ‘Mr. Attention hog’ was getting sick of it.
Is till say I should’ve given that job to Brock. He would’ve LOVED it!
Although, Suzie would have killed him.
I walked slowly up to the stage. The hot
lights were on me. Most of the people had quieted down, with the exception of a
few coughs and an occasional girls creaming I love you! I watched Misty only
stare in disgust at them - and me. I glanced at Pikachu and Brock who gave me a
thumbs up. Then I looked at Sarah who was smiling at me, motioning for me to
continue. She really wasn’t all that bad. I took a deep breath and continued
the speech I had prepared.
“Thank-you ladies and gents! I thank-you
all for participating and coming to this great event! I’m going to say this
once ‘cause I’m sure you all get sick f this and I know that you’ve all have
heard it at least once, if not many more times, but I’ll begin with the usual,
‘you all should know that no matter what, you all are winners.’”
Most people nodded or rolled hteir eyes. I
don’t care who you are, there are very few people who really care. If you lose,
you lose, you’re not the winner, and most kids don’t even listen. (Trust me, I
know!)
“OK, now, I know this is totally
irregular, but this is a song to my best friend of whom trust I have betrayed,
stomped on, trampled on, and have forgotten, and I hope that I can make it up
to you, you know who you are.” I stopped and paused only for a second. I looked
right at Misty’s surprised face, then nodded to the sound man and the music began.
I took a deep breath and began to sing with all my heart.
There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home
Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
Left me alone
I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange
and maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change
I saw Misty gasp. This was actually from her tap she had. I remember listening to her signing to the lyrics.
Was it something I said
To make you turn away?
To make you walk out and leave me cold
If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
But right now..
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains..
You're gone..
You're gone..
Baby you're gone
Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone..
You're gone..
You're...
I closed my eyes and sang with all my heart hoping Misty
would believe me
I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?
Time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you
and maybe I could change my every day
But baby I don't want to
So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you
and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do
Yeeaah....
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I Drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone...you're gone.. you're....
Gone
Ohhh...
Oh what'll I do
If I can't be with you
Tell me where will I turn to
Baby where will I be
We are apart
Am I still in your heart?
Baby why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oohhh...
I opened my eyes just for a second and glanced at Misty. There were tears running down her face. Was it working? I hoped so!
I’ve been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
Been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone
Gone
You're gone..
But the truth remains
You're....
“Please come back” I whispered into the microphone.
I opened my eyes to a bunch of people waving and clapping their
hands. But it wasn’t hem I cared about. Were had Misty gone? I didn’t see Brock
or Pikachu either!
I bit my lip as I walked off the stage. Had Misty even heard it?
Did she care?
The crowd began to thin out as the announcer began to speak.
“That was wonderful Mr. Ketchum! Now! The Water battles will begin in one hour!
… Oh! Will someone please remove their blue van, it is blocking the entrance
way for the water tank to come in. SO MOVE IT! That is all. Thank-you. Please
resume to what you where doing before.”
As soon as I could I looked around everywhere for Misty. I looked
in the sign up room, I looked in the training room, I even looked in the girls’
bathroom! (But not without many girls throwing things at me, hey! It’s a good
way to loose some fans, or gain some actually…) But no Misty.
I slowly walked back to the pokemon center where I was staying.
I was hoping to see Misty there, but she wasn’t there. “Did you see Misty come
by here?” I asked Nurse Joy. She only shook her head. I sighed in defeat. Maybe
I had ruined the chances of Misty ever forgiving me.
I opened the door to my room and there she was! Sitting on my
bed talking to Pikachu! My jaw dropped open. “I’ve been looking for you all
over the place!”
“Well, you found me. I’ve been here the whole time.”
Pikachu hopped of her lap and walked out the door to leave us
alone, but first, he turned to me and said, ‘Pikachu. Pikachu pika cha! ((Good
luck. Don’t screw this one up!))”
Just in case you were wondering, I told Pikachu and Brock because
I needed Pikachu and brock to help me get the N’ysnc tape. Let me tell you,
that is an interesting story, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear it..
I sat down beside Misty on my bed and we both sat in silence for
a bit until I broke it suddenly. “I’m sorry misty! Really I am, I was being a
total jerk and I was so surprised! Although I totally deserved to be called a jerk
and whatever else you called me…”
“Ash?”
“I really am sorry and I hope
the song helped.”
“ASH?!”
“I really did mean it! I ant
you back and I’m sorry! I don’t want you gone!”
“AAAASH!”
“Plea – OW!”
Misty glared at me, while I
rubbed my head and grinned nervously. “Sor-“
“Don’t talk.” I shut my
mouth.
“I’m sorry too Ash. I
shouldn’t go telling strangers about my personal life and have no right to be
mad at you for going out with another girl, I mean, you aren’t even my
boyfriend! And I’m sorry that I said that I um, well you know, ‘cause if you
don’t then I, well, I just don’t want to leave be-“
“Misty?”
“Hm?”
“I love you too.” I watched
her jaw drop and her eyes glisten over with tears of happiness.
“Oh! I‘m so glad!”
“Now! Let’s go see you kick
some serious butte’!”
“YEAH!”
It was then I heard a muffled
‘Pika!’ and ‘Aw man!’ and ‘alright!’
I rushed to the door and saw
Pikachu, Brock and Sarah standing there handing out money to each other.
Misty walked over to me and I backed away.
“YOU WERE BETTING ON US?!?!”
Brock backed away sheepishly. “Well, see, Pikachu bet that you
two would get together before the tournament and I bet after, then Sarah came
along and she bet with Pikachu, so now I owe them 20 dollars each! Oops, I
wasn’t supposed to tell you that, was I?”
I shook my head at Brock and
motioned for him to run.
Misty didn’t even give them a
chance but hit them right into the elevator and pressed the down button.
She grinned and walked over
to me and kissed me right on the lips. Our first kiss.
~~~~~
Ash grinned at the memory and
looked at his watch and yawned. Time fore sleep! Nighty night!
So… do you like it? I know,
not much of a cliffhanger, but please still review!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smile Jesus loves you!
