A New Friend  
Part 6

Thursday April 17,2003

Man! Today crawled by! I thought it would never end! Anyway, sorry I haven't updated for
awhile. I was origionally going to have a gym battle every 10 stories, but I decided it will be
every 5-10 stories depending on how many ideas I have. This story is dedicated to Aki
Akito(formerly known as Enja) for well just always reviewing and talking and sometimes saying
words I can't really understand. :) Oh, another note. Be on the lookout Amethyst Suicune and
Togepretty. Tthere's a surpise in here for you.

Misty-"Great job!"

Maggie-"Thank you. Shall we continue?"

Ash-"You bet!"

Brock-"I'm starting to get sick of this forest myself."

Maggie-"Hey look! There's an opening! I think we're almost to Nide City!"

Misty-"I think you may be right! Come on! Let's hurry!"

Ash-"Wait up!"

***They went running until they got to the edge of the city***

Ash-"Look at this place! It's gigantic!"

Brock-"How will we ever find our way through here??!!

Voice-"Hello. I take it your new?"

***Brock turned around and his eyes bulged out***

Misty-"Don't even start Brock."

Brock-"OW! Not the ear!"

Girl-"Uh, okay. Anyway, my name is Jenn. I'm an expert tour guide around the city."

Ash-"Hi. My names Ash." (I hate it when they do this.)

Misty-"My name's Misty."

Brock-"And I'm Brock."

Ash-"Jenn, do you know how to get to the gym?"

Jenn-"Absoulutly! Come on! Follow me!"

Maggie-"Sorry to hold up, but can we stop at a food place first? I'm starving!"

Jenn-"Yea sure! That would be fine!"

Ash-"You read my mind. I'm hugry to!"

***Jenn took them to a burger plaza***

Jenn-"Well, you guys go eat. I'm not going anywhere."

Misty-"Do you want to eat with us?"

Brock-"Yea. A dreamy girl sitting right with us."

***Misty slapped him on the head with her mallet***

Brock-"OW!"

Misty-"Stop drooling over every girl you see."

Brock-"Okay okay. Thaks for giving me a headache Misty."

Misty-"Anytime."

***Ash and Jenn sweat-dropped***

***15 minutes later***

Ash-"Thank you for letting us stop to eat."

Jenn-"Hey. It's no big deal."

Maggie-"Okay. Can you take us to the gym?"

Jenn-"Yea sure! Follow me!"

***They walked for about a half an hour, going block after block***

Ash-"Are we there yet?"

Jenn-"Yep! There's the Nide City Gym where you can earn a Tree Badge."

Misty-"Let's go then."

Maggie-"I need to ask Jenn something. I'll be right in."

Brock-"Okay."

***While going inside, Ash heard Jenn say "Okay."***

Ash-"What was that about?"

Maggie-"Oh nothing."

Misty-"It's her buissness Ash."

Brock-"Yea. Misty's right."

Ash-"Look! There's the entrance to the gym!"

Misty-"Look! Someone's in there."

Maggie-"It's probably the Gym Leader!"

Ash-"My name is Ash and I've come to earn a Tree Badge!"

Girl-"Well, you're going to have to beat me."

Ash-"I know that!"

Girl-"My name's Maria. As a Gym Leader, I accept your callenge."

To be continued...

Ha ha ha! Left it as a cliffhanger! I'll try to update it soon so I don't leave you hanging. I really
should get back to my Garfield Cross-Over, shouldn't I? Review!
