Never to Late to Say It Disclaimer: Pokemon doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to Nintendo and all those other companies. Also, I ain’t getting any money off of this fic. I wrote this out of my own free will. Notes To You: This is pretty much based on a dream that I had one night. Also, I don’t think the title may go with this. All the good titles were takin already. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Pikachu!” Ash yelled as he ran to catch up with Team Rocket balloon. “Ha Ha, we finally caught Pikachu. The boss will be happy and we’ll get promoted for sure,” James said happily. “You won’t get anything as long as I’m still around. Charizard I choose you. Charizard let’s get Pikachu back,” Ash said. Ash climbs on Charizard’s back and they fly off to catch up with Team Rocket. Meanwhile, Brock and Misty watch as Ash goes and saves Pikachu. “Hey Brock, I think that Ash is getting better as a trainer,” Misty tells Brock. “You’re right Misty, I didn’t think that Charizard would ever listen to Ash. Also, didn’t his Squirtle already evolve into a Wartortle already?” Brock asked. “Yeah, it did evolved already,” Misty said happily. As she smiles and watches Ash ride off in the sunset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Okay, Charizard Fire blast!” Ash commanded. Charizard let out a huge fire that popped the balloon and while that happened, Jessie accidentally drops Pikachu. Charizard rushes to get to Pikachu. Ash catches Pikachu and checks if he is alright. “Pikachu are you okay?” “Pika Pikachu.”(yup I’m ok) “That’s good, good job Charizard,” Ash said. “Char Charizard.”(Thanks Ash) They get back to where Misty and Brock were. By the time they got there it was late afternoon, so they decided to set up camp right there. Brock is cooking dinner, Misty is writing in her diary, and Ash walked to the lake and let out all his Pokemon. “Okay guys, take the time to relax,” Ash said to his Pokemon. At that moment, Wartortle and Kingler went into the lake to swim. Pikachu was the referee, while Wartortle and Kingler have a race from one side to the other. Charizard and Bulbasaur are taking a nap under a tree. Pidgeot flys out on patrol in case there was trouble. Ash sat down on a rock right beside the lake. He had nothing else on his mind but Misty. He can never think of anything else but her. Pikachu sees this and knows what Ash is thinking. “Pika Pikachu, Pika pi.”(Thinking about Misty.) “How’d you know? I never told you anything.” “Pika…..Pikachu pi ka pi chu. Pika pikachu pika pika pikachu.”(Gee…. let me guess. You always stare at her, look at her any chance you get while we’re walking.) “Okay Okay, I think I get it now. Now you can guess that I like her more than a friend. I don’t think I have enough courage to say it to her. I mean what if she laughs, runs away, or maybe even slap me right across the face.” “Pikachu pika ka chu. Pika pi pikachu.”(You’re wrong about all those things. She likes you.) “No she doesn’t.” “PIKA Pikachu.”(HOW would you know that.) “I don’t know.” “Pika pi chu ka chu pi pi chu. Pikachu pika chu pika. Pikachu pi pika pikachu.”(See how would you know that if you don’t even know. If you truly like her then you will take the risk of being liked by her or being rejected, but at least you can say that you’ve tried.) After that Pikachu runs off to catch some Z’s with Bulbsaur and Charizard. While sitting there, Ash was in deep thought of what Pikachu said. Just then Ash, heard Misty’s scream. “Come on guys, Misty is in trouble!!!” All of Ash’s Pokemon run with him to where Brock and Misty were. As they come, Team rocket was there, but with guns in their hands. “Stay where you are twerp, and hand over Pikachu,” Jessie demands. “Why would I do a thing like that?” Ash says. “Cause if you don’t both of your friends get blasted.” “Ash, don’t give Pikachu to them,” Misty says. “Quiet girl.” Just then Jessie points the gun at her and fires. Ash reacts quickly, runs and jumps in front of Misty taking the bullet for her right in the chest. Misty screams as Ash falls unconscious to the ground. Misty bends down and hugs Ash and starts to cry. Pikachu sends a thunderbolt at team rocket and they go “blasting off again.” Pikachu and the rest of Ash’s pokemon rush to Ashes side. “Ash why’d you have to go and do that.” “We better get him to the hospital right away,” Brock says. Luckily there was a town just nearly 10 miles from where they were at. They all got on Charizard and they take off to Coastline Town. When they got to the hospital Brock jumped off and ran inside. “HELP! Emergency I need a doctor now!!” “What is it?” “My friend got shot by Team Rocket, and is waiting on that Charizard out there. You gotta help him.” “Oh my, I need a stretcher for a young boy and send him to ER right away.” Two Chanseys rushed out and put Ash on the stretcher and rushed to the ER. Misty and Brock took Ash’s pokemon to the pokemon center. Then they went back to the hospital and into the waiting room. They waited for nearly five and half-hours. The doctor came out and Misty and Brock went toward him. “How is he doctor?” Misty asked. “Well, he’s fine and he will be able to pull through this. If you would like to see him, he’s in room 125. “You go ahead Misty, I gotta go get Ash’s pokemon.” “Okay Brock if you say so.” Misty walks to Ash’s room. Once she got there she the guy who had saved her life. She pulls up a chair right next to Ash. She takes her hand and puts Ash’s hand into hers. Ash wakes up to see Misty right by his side. “Hey Misty.” “Ash you’re awake. I thought that you got shot in a place where you could’ve died from.” “I guess I got lucky. I got shot in my arm, but I’m okay.” Misty starts to cry. “Misty you don’t need to cry I’m alright. I’m right here, so no need for tears Misty.” “I just thought…..” Ash puts his forefinger on Misty’s lips. “Misty the only reason I took the bullet was because I didn’t want to see you get hurt. Also, its because I……I love you.” Misty hugs Ash and buries her head into his shoulder and cries. “I love you, too.” Ash takes his hand and puts it under her chin to make her look at him. Then he gives her a kiss on the lips. They hold it until they heard someone coming. It was Brock and Ash’s pokemon they all run to Ash. “Hey Ash, you okay man?” “Yeah, I’ll be alright.” Ash then hugs all his pokemon then hugs Misty. Misty blushes and so does Ash. At that moment both Ash and Misty know that they will be together no matter what lies ahead of them. Together they will face every challenge, every problem, and everything with the bond that they have now. *****So, what’d you think. Good, not good. Like I said this was entirely based on a dream where I, myself had jumped in front of a friend takin the bullet for them. Kinda weird I know. I’m not a good writer, and I wanted to try out being a writer. Please E-mail me so that I can keep writing all this stuff. MY E-MAIL: KrZyAnime@AOL.com THANKS ^_^*****
