Always Friends?
Part 2
Pikachu

Friday June 3, 2005

Last day of school! I have nothing to do for this period so I thought I'd write 
a story. Thank you aaml-believer for pointing out to me how long it's been since 
I updated this. :P Enjoy!

	Misty seemed overly joyed at the thought of finding Ash but she held back 
as much as she could. Still, she couldn't help but smile.

	"Where do you think he ran off to?" Misty asked. Brock stopped to think 
for a second.

	"Well, we were on our way to Pallet Town since Ash had won all his badges. 
My best bet is he is heading there and we should try and beat him there." Brock 
told Misty. Misty's eyes lit up.

	"Why are we just standing here?! Let's go!" She shouted happily. Brock 
rolled his eyes. Even though Misty saw it, she was too ecstatic to pound Brock 
to bits again with her mallet. Besides, she needed to give her mallet a rest. In 
about 10 minutes time (mainly due to Misty hurryingly packing everything) they 
had arrived at the ocean bridge that linked the mainland they were on to Pallet 
Town. Misty blinked.

	"I didn't know there was a bridge here." Misty said flabbergasted. Brock 
smiled.

	"Most people don't unless you've been over here as many times as I have. 
Do you think Ash took this way?" Brock asked. Misty shrugged.

	"Hey, he might of. Is there anyway that we can get over there in a hurry? 
How long will it take?" Misty asked as they started across the bridge.

	"It'll take about a whole day to walk across but that's our best bet right 
now. We don't really have a better method of transportation." Brock replied. 
Misty fell silent. There had to be a faster way to get across. They didn't have 
cars even though they could probably hitchhike across the bridge.

	"Bad idea." Misty thought when hitchhiking crossed her mind. Well, there 
weren't any bikes around so they couldn't bike at all. But there had to be 
something. Wait a minute. Wasn't she a water Pokemon trainer? Couldn't she use 
her Pokemon to get 
over?

	"Brock. Why don't we use my water Pokemon to swim over? They are pretty 
powerful and we would probably be able to get there in an hour's time." Misty 
said. Brock stopped and stroked his chin.

	"That's an idea. But are you sure they can handle it?" Brock asked with a 
laugh. Misty became annoyed and slammed Brock on the head again with her mallet.

	"I know what they are capable of. Don't diss the water Pokemon." Misty 
said in a matter-of-fact voice.

	"Yeah. Whatever. So, which one are you using?" Brock asked. Misty pulled 
out a Pokeball.

	"I think I'll use Starmie. That's one of my strongest." Misty replied. 
Brock looked a little unsure but agreed anyway.

	"Starmie Go!" Misty shouted as she tossed the ball toward the shimmering 
ocean about 100 feet below. Starmie popped out and waited for them as the ball 
flew back up to Misty. Brock's mouth was wide open.

	"You want us to DIVE into the water??!! What are you nuts??" Brock 
shouted. Misty side glanced him.

	"You can stay up her but I'm going down." Misty replied. With that, she 
jumped through the cables on the bridge and plunged toward the ocean below.

To be continued...

Okay. So it wasn't the best but it was okay wasn't it? Review! ^^
