I don't have really anything to say except, "I don't own Pokemon." I really wish I did. Notes: Ages: Ash-24 Misty-25 Brock-29 The Story is still in third-person, and will probably stay in third person for the rest of the story. Enjoy the story Part II "Oh my gosh…..this is a letter from Misty!!" Ash ran inside as quickly as his legs could carry him. He almost forgot to let Pikachu in. Once they were inside, Ash sat on his couch he had in the back of the gym. (Ash doesn't actually live at the gym. He lives at his mother's house just like he has for all these years.) He ripped open the letter and unfolded it quickly, but not too fast to tear it. Once it was fully opened, Ash read it anxiously. It read: Dear Ash, I know this must seem as a surprise to you, but I miss you. I have for years, but have been too afraid to write to you. I was afraid of what you might say, but I finally got the courage. Please come see me in Cerilian City. I really, really, really, miss you. Love, Misty After reading it to Pikachu, Ash was excited, but he was also in shock. After some deep thought he asked Pikachu: "Pikachu, what do you think? Should I go see her? What will we talk about?! It's been twelve years!!! Will she even have missed me?!! Will I make a fool of myself?!!!! The more questions Ash asked, the more frantic he got. Pikachu tried to calm him down with words but no avail. So Pikachu did the only thing he could do. Pikachu quickly gave him a Thunder Shock. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Pikachu why did you do that! Ash asked angered, but paralyzed by Pikachu's Thunder Shock. "Pika Pi Chu Pikachu Pika. Pika, Pika Pi? Pikachu Pika Chu Pika Pikachu Pika. Pika Pi. [You need to calm down. Did you even pay attention to the letter? She said she missed you, and she wanted to see you. You will be fine."] "Sorry Pikachu….I guess I just got a little frantic", Ash said chuckling a bit. "But still Pikachu….twelve years." Ash really exaggerated on the two words…. twelve years. When Ash said that, Pikachu's face became more solemn toward Ash. "Pi Pika Pikachu Pika [I guess you're right about that."] There was an awkward silence in the room for a couple of minutes, but then Ash said "Pikachu, I'm going to go for a walk, do you want to come with me?" "Pi….Pikachu Pi [Yes….That would be nice.]" They had left the gym and strolled through the pleasant streets of Pallet Town. It was a quiet walk until Ash asked a question that had been lingering over him ever since he got the letter. "Pikachu…….have you ever had the feeling of love? The kind that is still attached to you after twelve years." "Pi Pi Pikachu Pikachu Pika, Pikachu Pikachu? [Is this in relation to you and Misty?] Pikachu said with a sly look, but still having compassion for his trainer. "Yes, I still love Misty even after all of these years." Ash, said while blushing slightly. "I don't know how to explain this feeling of love but to just say I love her. Its so powerful that I don't know if it will even break……..I don't want it to break………But what do I know? She probably doesn't love me back. She's probably even forgotten about me. But still…..I love her so much Ash said looking into the sky. Pikachu Pika! [That's why you should go see her!] Pikachu said being a lot more serious. Pikachu Pika, Pika Pi……chu Pikachu….Pikachu Pi. Pi Pikachu Pika. Pika Pi Pi Pikachu. Pikachu…..Pikachu Pika…Pika chu Pikachu. [This love is so strong in you that even if she doesn't love you back……you will still be friends……I know that you would still be friends. When she traveled with us I could tell. The way she looked at you when you thought she wasn't looking. All of the good times you've had together…….The power of your friendship…….probably even more than friendship.] When Pikachu said that Ash stopped walking. He sat down thinking of what Pikachu just said. Ash didn't answer for several minutes, but when he finally did he said "You're right Pikachu. I will go see her!" Ash said more confidently while standing up. But then he knelt right back down and let Pikachu jump in his arms. "Thanks buddy," Ash, said laughing and smiling. They walked for a little while longer, and while they were walking, they heard some rustling in some bushes near by. "What's that Pikachu?" Ash said confused. "Pi Pikachu. Pika Pikachu Pikapi. [I don't know. Maybe we should go check it out. They got a little bit closer when the mystery being popped out….or should I say beings. "Prepare for trouble" "And Make it double" "To Protect the world from devastation" "To unite all peoples within our nation" "To denounce the evils of truth and love" "To extend our reach to the stars above" "Jessie" "James" "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light" "Surrender now or prepare to fight" "Meowth that's right" "Wobb-uffet!" Ash then got angry. "What are you doing here Team Rocket!!" "The same as always. We're going to steal your Pikachu!" James said confidently. "Oh, no your not!! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!!!!" "Piiiiiiiii Kaaaaaaaaaa Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Thunderbolt was a direct hit, and they once again (like always) Team Rocket blasted off. "Team Rocket is blasting off again!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Wobb-uffet!!!!" When they were gone, Ash said to Pikachu, "When will those guy's ever give up!?" "Pikachu Pika Pi [It looks like never.] When they were walking back to they Gym, Ash said, with a smile "So how 'bout it Pikachu? What do you say, we go set off to Cerilian City and see Misty tomorrow! "Pikachu!!!! [Sounds like a great Idea!!!!]" (Back, where Team Rocket has landed.) "That little twerp!" Jessie said, "Why does he defeat us every time. We didn't even get to release our Pokemon this time!!" "Well Jess, he is the Pokemon Master Champion." James said. "Well even if he is, we are still going to beat him. Some way, some how! All we need is a good fool proof plan." They all sat down, and thought for a while. Five minutes later James spoke up. "I have an idea!!!" James said enthusiastically, but evilly. "Well what is it?" Jessie said impatiently. "Well, who is the one person Ash cherishes most?" Jessie, and Meowth thought for a moment, but they couldn't think of it. James, said "Misty of the Cerilian City Gym!" "That's brilliant James, but what can we do!" "Well capture her of course!" James said brightly. "That is a brilliant plan!" Jessie said one more time. "Yeah, brilliant plan!" Meowth said. They all gathered in a circle to discuss it while laughing evilly. So what do you think of it so far? Like it, hate it. Only one way to tell me and that is to review. Thanks for reading.
