Misty: Hi! I am Misty the Mighty, the greatest water Pokémon trainer in the 
world!!!
Me: Oh, hi Misty. Okay, let's get this show on the road...
Misty: WHHHAAAT?! You've got to do the disclaimer and stuff first!
Me: Ta Mist. I forgot!!! ^_^* Here goes...
Disclaimer: I am Satoshi Tajiri, so yes, I own Pokémon. What, you don't believe 
me? Oh well, I tried... -_-* I don't own Pokémon, I only own the idea of this 
story, as it was a dream I had a couple of days ago. And, if anybody sues me, 
the most they will get is Ł2.49, and a half empty packet of chewing gum. HA!!!
A/N This is my first EVER fanfic, but the idea's been brewing for some time. I 
started work on it in my German lesson 2 weeks ago, nothing cement or anything. 
Bad move, 'cause it got confiscated, and I only just got it back! Please read 
and review, and tell me what I should do to make it better! ^_~

P.S Ages for characters: Ash: 13, Misty: 14, and Brock: 16. I thought I'd put 
this, as there's always controversy about this little niggling problem (I'm 
usually part in arguments in it, I believe Ash gets a year older with each 
season, and I think Misty's a year older than Ash. Brock, who knows? I just did 
this age for the fic)

P.P.S I have updated this, giving it a little formatting, and improving the 
story also. This will eventually be done throughout all the chapters, but for 
now, it's this.
All Pokémon translations are in brackets.

Misty's Johto Journey
By Misty's Double 

Part 1-Prologue

"Dragonair is unable to battle. The winner of the round and the Rising badge... 
Ash Ketchum!" The referee announced. Ash had just beaten Clair, the final bump 
on the road to the Johto league.
"Way to go, Ash!" Misty congratulated Ash on his fine win.
"Thanks Misty. Thanks Pikachu. You were awesome!!!" Ash said happily.
"Pikachu! (We won again!!!)" Pikachu replied.
"Well done, Ash. You really deserve the Rising badge," Clair said
"Thanks, Clair You were really tough to beat today." Ash replied.
"I hope you go really far in the Johto league Ash."
"Thanks, Clair."
"Ash, we'd better get off to the Pokémon Centre." Misty added
"Yeah. See ya!" Ash said to Clair.

*At the Pokémon Centre*

Ash, Misty and Brock booked a room for the night with Nurse Joy, or should we 
say Ash and Misty booked the room, as Brock was goggling at Nurse Joy.
"Oh yeah, and could you check my Pokémon Joy? They had a pretty tough battle 
against Clair." Ash asked politely
"I could check out that lovely smile anyd-WAAAHH!" Brock cooed
"Cool off Romeo. Joy's too busy for you at the minute!" Misty sighed while 
pulling Brock away by his ear.

*In the Bedroom*

"Right, let's get this straight..." Brock started
"I'M HAVING TOP BUNK!!!" Ash and Misty simultaneously shouted
"Wait, you two don't wanna sleep together, do you? Hehehehe OWWW!" Brock said as 
Misty pulled out her trusty mallet, 'gently' placing it right on Brock's head.
"Don't pull wisecracks about it, right?" Misty shouted
"So, I'm at the top!" Ash started
"No, I am!" Misty retorted
"I am!"
"Wanna bet?" Misty picked up a pillow and whacked Ash.
"Huh, OWW!" Ash moaned as Misty climbed onto the top bunk
"Nyahh! You're dumber than you look, Ash Ketchum!"
"Take that back!"
"Why?"
"Oh! Please can I have top bunk?" Ash sighed in defeat.
"Let me think... NO! Hahahahaha!!!"
"Grrr. Fine!" Ash slumped on the bottom bunk in a mood.
"Yet again, Misty the Mighty triumphs in a bid for the highly sought after top 
bunk!" Misty gloated
"Shut up Misty!!!" Ash kicked the bottom of the top bunk.
"You guys, it's late. Don't you think we should call it a day? Besides, the last 
thing we want to do is be missing valuable training time, huh?" Brock called.
"Yeah, I can't waste any training time this time, not like we did in the Indigo 
League" Ash remembered painfully
"Okay." Misty said. 
"Night. See ya tomorrow." Ash said
"Yeah. Night." Misty replied.
Ash, Brock, Togepi and Pikachu went to sleep, but Misty was lying wide-awake,  
staring at the ceiling, thinking.
'I'm fed up watching Ash become a Pokémon Master. I had that same dream before I 
left Cerulean, and I'm not giving up!'

*Begin flashback*
Misty was in Cerulean Gym, with her sisters. She was 10.
"Pleeaase can I battle this trainer? I've won the last 15 battles in a row, 
and the big Elite 4 man-" Misty started
"Like-you mean Lance? He's sooo powerful, and cute too!" Daisy interrupted
"Yeah, him. He said I was powerful enough to become Pokémon master!"
"Look, he was-like making you feel better about yourself!" Violet said.
    
Misty had been in Cerulean General hospital only weeks ago, due to a mishap 
during a battle she was taking part in. The rival's Rattata went underwater with 
Staryu; only it didn't remerge. Thinking it must be stuck in something, Misty 
dived in to free the Rattata. Only she didn't remerge, and was taken to 
hospital, only to be kept in for 2 weeks. This was when Lance, the present 
Pokémon Champion came to visit her.

"Oh yeah, I'll show you! I want a three on three Pokémon battle. You three use 
one Pokémon each!"
"FINE!!" All three sisters called out their best Pokémon
"Go Goldeen/ Seaking/ Shellder!"
"Who's going first?"
"Lily. She's best." Daisy volunteers Lily.
"In that case, Misty calls Staryu!" The orange starfish jumped out of the red 
light, which emitted from the Pokéball.
"Tackle attack, Staryu!"

Staryu brings Shellder down, and Misty's Starmie finishes off Daisy's Goldeen. 
Seel gets beaten in by Violet's Seaking.

"Misty, where are ya like- going?" Violet calls after Misty, as Misty rushes 
off to her room.
"Like- leave her sis, she's gone in a mood because we bat up her Seel" Lily 
said confidently.

*In Misty's room*

'Right. I'll pack my white shirt, my swimming costume, my yellow top and blue 
shorts, and I mustn't forget some money. I'll take some from the till in the 
foyer, and I'll take Staryu and Starmie with me. Oh, and I can't forget my Super 
rod!'  Misty packed her red drawstring bag.
'Oh, and I'll take some Pokéballs from the store downstairs, they won't even 
notice they're not there.'

Misty emerged 5 minutes later with a really evil scowl on her face.
"Like-what are you doing?" Daisy asked, noticing the red drawstring bag on her 
shoulder.
"For your information, I'm going on a Pokémon journey-as if you'll ever care-and 
I'm not coming back until I'm the World's greatest Pokémon Master! Goodbye!!" 
And with that, she took off through the gym doors, not before taking Ł2000 with 
her from the tills.
"Misty-come back!" Daisy shouted, but was ignored.
"Come off it sis- she'll like- be back before it's dark!" Lily said.

*End flashback*

"That's it! I'll tell Ash tomorrow. But I won't tell him exactly what I'm 
doing." Misty said to herself, after deciding in her brain.

*The next morning*

"Err, Excuse me, do you sell Pokégears by any chance?" Misty asked the 
shopkeeper.
"We do."
"Could I have 2 please?"
"Sure, that's Ł200 please."
"Ta. Here ya go."
"Thanks. Please come again!"

Misty exited the Pokémart, and met Ash and Brock outside the doors.
"Well Misty, whatcha buy?" Ash asked
"2 Pokégears."
"Why?"
"1 for me, 1 for you."
"What are you on about?"
"Ash, just a minute, can you please hear me out? Brock, you'll want to hear this 
too"

*5 minutes later*

"Whatcha wanna tell us then Mist?" Ash asked.
"I don't know how to put this..." Misty looked down at the floor.
"What?" Brock asked.
"I'm going back to Cerulean."
"WHAT! You must be kidding!!" Ash screamed.
"No. I'm not kidding. I really wanna become a stronger Water Pokémon trainer, so 
I'm off back to take over the Gym." Misty finished.
"Misty... you mean... you're leaving?" Ash asked shocked. Misty nodded her head.
Ash looked her straight in the eyes.
"Look. We'll keep in touch, right?"
"That's what these are for." Misty looked down, her eyes stung from unshed 
tears.
"Well. We'll sure miss you Misty!" Brock said sadly
"I'll call you whenever I can!" Misty said sadly, the tears threatening to spill 
freely flowing down her face in little rivers. Ash put an arm around her 
shoulders to comfort her. 
"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Ash said, looking as if he was going to cry.
"Yeah, I guess it is. Good luck with the Pokémon League Ash, Brock, I hope 
you'll get to be a great breeder, and I'll call you both every day!" Misty said, 
giving a little smile.
"Thanks Misty. I hope we'll see you soon, and be careful. Bye!" Ash said.
"Yeah, bye Misty, be careful and good luck!" Brock said sadly, as Misty turned 
on her heel and began waking back to her birthplace, without Ash and Brock.

*~*~*~*~*

Well, what do ya think? 
I'm starting on the next installment soon, and I'll have it up by next weekend, 
depending on homework situations.
Please don't flame me, as I'll just block you from reviewing my future fics. 
Constructive reviews will be REALLY helpful!

See ya all! ^_^
