Chapter 1: Meeting Mistys parents Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, Nintendo dose, so if you feel the need to sue. TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT!!!!! Authors Note: This story is......MINE, steel it and I'll hunt you down, catch you, and SUE SUE SUE Ages: Ash: 15, Misty 15 and a half, and Brock :19 Rating: Emmmm I don't care......you pick NOW ON TO THE STORY!!!!!((^_~)) Once again we find Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu lost (hm wonder who's fault that is??), and as usual Ash and Misty are arguing over who's fault it is. "I can't believe you got us lost on the way to your hometown", Misty yelled "Well, it sure wasn't my idea to go left!", Ash yelled back "Huh", Misty asked surprised and calm, "Then who's was it?" A sweat drop appeared over Brocks head, as he tried to quietly slip away before Ash and Misty would realizes it was him who made the decision. He normally would have told Ash and Misty it was him, but Misty was so worked up after her argument with Ash she'd have him under her Mallet immediately, and Ash would probably have Pikachu Thunder Shock him, considering Ash was pretty worked up too. "Hey, Brock one question", Ash said calmly, "Why are you trying to sneak away from Misty and me?" "Emm, well...I...a...thought you wanted too be alone?", answered Brock very timmed and shyly. "And why would you think that?", Misty asked curiously. "So you can try to kill each other?!" Brock said, still trying to sneak away." I really can't wash the blood off my new t-shirt". "Hang on a minute!", Ash yelled realizing it was Brock who suggested they go left at the crossroads, "It was YOU!". "Well...I guess I may have had something to do with this" "All right, hold still this will only hurt a bit!", Misty yelled, pulling her 4 foot mallet out her pocket (how is that possible?). "This will hurt alot", Ash replied while signaling Pikachu to Thunder Shock poor Brock. "Guys, don't you think your being just a tiny winy bit hasty?", Brock said in a scared tone. "Not at all", Misty replied "Nope", said Ash Just as Ash and Misty were about to attack Brock they heard rustling in the bushes, and this time it wasn't Team Rocket. "Hold it right there!", shouted a girl. She had been hiding in the bush watching what was going on. She had short blue hair, blue eyes, and was about Misty's size. "Don't you dare hurt that poor boy!". "Hurt Brock, you must be crazy, we were just play' in with him, geez", said Ash. "Besides who are you?", protested Misty, while leaning on her mallet. "I am Hazel, and I demand you stop what your doing, I am sure he didn't mean to take the wrong turn!", she answered, while running to shield Brock. Ash and Misty stared at each other "A girl is actually stopping someone from hurting Brock, instead of actually hurting him??, Ash whispered to Misty puzzled "Bet when she sees the real Brock she'll be wish'en she hadn't have stopped us", Misty whispered Back. "I come from Cerulean City", Hazel said proudly, while still glaring at Ash and Misty. Brock had tears in his eyes from thinking about how this beautiful young girl was being nice to him instead of Ash for a change. "Huh, hey Mist, she comes from the same city as you!", Ash said eyeing Misty's surprised expression out the side of his eye. "Then, maybe you know me, I am Misty Waterflower, of The Cerulean Flowers" "Hmmm, one of the sencational sisters?", asked Hazel. "You mean sencational runt!", Yeld Ash with a huge smirk on his face. "I surpose your the one always making trouble!!!!", Yeld Hazel "Excuse me but...........", Ash was cut off by Misty. "QUIT IT NOW.....You don't even know us so stop judging us". Hazel, now alittle hurt by Misty's words, stepsaway from Brock, "I didn't mean to judge you, its just hard for me to see someone get hurt". "We were never going to hurt Brock, besides by the time we had caught him, he'd already be in Pallet", answered Ash in a claim voice. "But thanx any way, oh my names brock (Rose appear from nowhere) are you free tonight? " Emmmm, no, not anymore anyway", Said Hazel slowly backing off "So, are you related to Misty or not?" asked Ash? "I'm not sure, Misty do you know a Mr. Tom Waterflower and Mrs. May Waterflower?",asked Hazel "May and Tom Waterfow....MY PARENTS, THEY ARE MY PARENTS!!!!!!", screamed Misty surprised. "No, their my parents....how can they be your's, I'm an only child, arn't I?",asked Hazel as if she were scared to hear the answer. "No, you have me and three other sisters, back in Curlean City, but I don't remember you", said Misty "How old are you anyway?", asked Ash "10, well 11 in four months", answered Hazel Brock then turns to look at Ash and misty, "Well that explains why Misty never met Hazel" "Yeah, they left when I was 4.....no 5", answered Misty "guess thats why I have never met you". "Do you like wanna see them again, Misty?" asked Hazel "Huh..sure, its been way to long, i would be nice to see them". "10 years to long right Mist?", Ash asked noticing the sadness in her voice. As Hazel lead them to where Misty's parents were living, a few towns away, Team Rocket were cooking up something specal for the twerps...err i mean Ash and the gang (My bad ((^.^)). "James do you have any idea where the twerps are going?", Asked Jesse. "Not really all I know is...", but James was cut by Meowth. "All yous know is 1+1," Meowth said jumping from a near by tree. "As I was saying before being rudly interrupted, The twerps are going to see that little red heads mom and dad", aswered James while jumping up to his feet. "Awwwww, a little family reunion, i love family reunions, we have to sjow up, maybe we'll get alittle present", Laughed Jesse while jumping to her feet. "But Jesse , we arn't family memebers of the red heads", asked James, who was now highly confused. "So, that dosen't mean we can't just turn up, and take care of business", aswered Jesse "we'll run, in swip Pikachu and run out", said Meowth. "But he'll be with the twerp who will be with the red head who we be with her parents", said James. "Leave the worring to me, you just do what I say", said Jesse looking down at the twerps. Ash, Misty,Brock, Pikachu,and Hazel had been walking for what seemed like hours before they reached Mason city, where Mr. and Mrs. Waterflower lived. As they entered the large town Ash began to wonder. " Hey Hazel do they have a Pokemon gym here?", Ash asked while looking around. "Oh, no here we go again", wispered Misty "Yeah, why", answered Hazel "Well i need more Badges, is it a K-nory league gym?", asked Ash " Yeah, well theres two, one for K-nory league A and one for K-nory league B", answered Hazel "Great, I'll hit the gym....Later", Ash said remembering they were on their way to meet Misty's parents, and he wanted to meet them. "So Misty, anything we should know about your parents before we meet them?", asked Brock. "Emm, you'd have to ask Hazel.....Hazel is there anything we should know about them?" "No, not really, exept, don't and I repeat DON'T ask why dad has no trophy's in his trophy case". Ash at this time was to mixed up in what he was going to say to Misty's parents so he didn't hear what Hazel had just said. The group then arived at a light blue house with a houndoom puppy sitting on the step. It immideatly ran up to Hazel. "Hey Houndy, are mom and dad home?", asked Hazel "Doom Hound oom oom hound(yeah, they inside make'in me lotsa food!!!!!! i hope)".said Houndoom. "well Misty ready to see your parents ?", asked Brock "Pika Pi chu pika-chuu(we with ya all the way, Misty)", said Pikachu Misty, at this time looked alittle nervous, well who wouldn't after see someone they hadn't seen in 10 years, exspecaly their parents. "Yeah, i guess I'm ready", answered Misty as they walked up to the now open door. "Come on in Guys", said Hazel standing inside. it was time....time for Misty to finally see her parents again, short memories of them flashed through Misty head as she stepped in the door. She had never been this nervous in her life, not even when she put on that Mermaid show with her sisters for her home town. "Don't worry Misty, it'll be ok", wispered Ash as he, Misty, Brock and Pikachu stepped in the house. "Hazel honey, would you like to intro....", But Mrs. Waterflower stopped dead in her track at the sight of Misty."Oh my lord....Misty Is that you!!" "Mom.....", Misty said while staring blankly at her mom, who looked almost the same as she did when misty was 5. Mrs. Waterflower had short Red hair that curved to her face, Blue eyes, A pair of Jeans and a yellow t-shirt much like misty's. "Oh my gosh.....Misty, its you...", Mrs. Waterflower didn't know what else to say. "Mom, mom its really you", Misty said running to her mom. Ash, Brock and Pikachu just stayed by the door. "Oh Misty, you'v changed so much, and i'v missed you so much", Mrs. Waterflower said while hugging Misty. "Its been so long..... and who are your friends?". "Oh, right.....This is Pikachu, he's not my Pokemon though" "Hello, Pikachu, arn't you just the cuttest", laughed Mrs. Waterflower "Pika Pika(I know)", Smiled Pikachu "This is Ash Ketchum...He's trying to become a Pokemon Master....notice the word trying", smirked Misty. "Hi, Ash, Its a pleasure to meet",said Mrs. Waterflower slightly giggling at Misty's remark. "Hello, Mrs. Waterflower and whatever Misty", Ash still not knowing what to say to Mrs. Waterflower. "And this is Brock ....He trying to be...",Misty was stopped in her tracks as Brock ran up to Mrs.Waterflower "Its a Pleasure to finally meet you Mrs. Waterflower, can i help out around the house, maybe even cook, and I'll stop all the arguements", said Brock "Arguements?" asked Mrs. Waterflower " Yeah, Ash and Mis...."Ash quickly covered Brocks mouth, Ash wanted to make a good impression on Misty's Parents...for some reason. Just then a tall, and Young looking man walked in the door, it was Misty's dad. He had Black hair, Brown eyes and was wearing jeans and a T-shirt that said Mason Pokemon Gym Associate. Ash realised that Misty's dad must work at one of the Mason City Gyms, Ash just hoped it wasn't gym A and that he wasn't the leader, "Honey I'm hom.....Misty, Is that Misty", He asked in surprise. "Dad", Misty said looking at him. "Misty, how did you know where we lived and how are your sisters?", he asked "Well we met up with Hazel an the way to Ashes house, and we talked and she lead us here, and My sisters are fine, I think, see I haven't seen them for what like 3-4 years now". "Why, where have you been all that time Misty", he asked interrested in why she'd left home. "On my Pokemon jouney with Ash, Brock, and Pikachu", answred Misty. Mr. Waterflower Looked at the boys standing beside Misty, "Oh hello there, Nice to meet you, i'm Mr. Waterflower. "HI, I'm Ash" "I'm Brock" "Pika PI chu ika pi ika pika(and i am sure you know who i am)" Mr. Waterflower looked back at Misty, "My how you have grown Misty, your 15, right?" "Yeah, oh mom dad its great to see you again". "Its great to see you too Misty, are you and your friends going to stay for with us for a few day?", asked Mrs. Waterflower "Emmmm.... What do you say Ash?" "Sure... That is if you want too", Ash realising he might have sounded a little to excited. "brock......what do ya say?", asked Misty "Yeah, i'm not in a hurry" "YAY, i guess we are staying then" " Hazel, could you show them up to where they'll be staying", Said Mrs. Waterflower "Sure thing MOM", Hazel then lead Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu up to a room that had 1 bed, a couch, a desk and, a window in it. " Now i know its empty, but its just a spare room, I'm going to finish helping mom and dad with dinner, you guys settle in", said Hazel running back down stairs. "I GET THE BED", yeld misty runny over and claiming it hers. "I get the couch", said Brock claiming it his, Now all that was left for Ash was a desk or the Floor. "Guess I got the floor...again", said Ash sitting on the floor. He was hoping Brock would sympathis him and let him sleep on the couch. "hey, guys dinners ready, come on", Said Hazel standing in the doorway. Down stairs at dinner everyone noticed the empty trophy case. "So Ash, i hear your a pokemon trainer with a dream of becoming a Pokemon Master?", said Misty's dad turning to Ash, Misty was surprise with how much interrest her dad was showing towards Ash and so was Ash. "Huh, yeah, I'v been training for 5 years now, and been in 4 diffrent Leagues." "Really, do you mind if I ask just how well you did in the Leagues". "Well Mr.Waterfower I Was in the top 16 in the Indigo League, I was 1st place in the Orange League, and and 1st place in the Johto League, and I'm hoping to do just as well in the K-nory League",said Ash looking a bit proud. "Well I will surtainly be hoping you do make first place Ash", said Mr.Waterflower, "and please, call me Tom". "Ok", Ash said happy of his new accomplishment, "Mr. Wat...I mean Tom, may I ask you something?". "Sure Ash, anything". Since Ash had not heard what Hazel had said earlier he didn't know this question was off limits, "Tom, why is your trophy case empty?". As soon as Misty heard what ash said She gulpped, excidently swallowing a whole peice of meat unchewed, but luckily she didn't choke. Everyone else at the table also cringed... but to their surprise tom looked happy in a way. "Well Ash wanna know the truth.....Its a legacy to all my accomplishments.", said tom staring at the empty trophy case. "But these nothing in there",said Ash who had gone from proud to comfused in 1 minute. "Exactly, theres nothing in there, therefore, I have accomplished nothing....Nothing at all", Tom said now looking sad "Thats not true", said Ash. Everyone at the Table was now interrested in what Ash had to say. "Just because people have got 20 trophy's dosen't mean they have accomplished anything, and just because you have no trophy's,medals, or awards dosen't mean you haven't accomplished anything". "How so?", asked Tom "Well you have a Beautiful, large house, you had to do something to get it, thats an accomplishment. You have food on the table and in the cuboards, thats an accomplishment. You have a family that loves you, that is a huge accomplisment", everyone at the table was over taking be Ashes wise and loyal words. "Ash, your right,and your wise, and .... I thank you",says Tom Back up in the room everyone is getting ready for bed. "Ash what you said down there was awsome, how'd you think that up?", asked Brock while laying on the couch. "Yeah, you'd ya steel it from?", joked Misty "Oviously not you!", said Ash smirking "Well how ever you got that speach, we have won my parents over", said Misty sitting on the bed. "Think so?", asked Ash. "No they hate your guts, duh ofcourse you have geez need it spelt out for you or somthing!" said Misty "well guys, as much as I'd love to stay and argue, i'm getting some sleep, and so should yous, good night",Says Brock as he yawns and quickly falls asllep. "Yeah your right, Night pikachu, Night Misty, night Brock", says Ash trying but failing to fall asleep on the hard wood floor. "Night guys *yawn*", say Misty as Lays adrift to sleep. mean while Team Rocket have run into some tiny Problems.... "Hey, come on let us out, we are inasent this time, you have no right to keep us in jail", yells Jesse while keeping a tight grip on the cell bars. "Whatever, we have been looking for you guys for awhile, sorry but you going to stay in jail for a long time", says Officer Jenny as she walks away from their jail cell. "awwwwww man" , says Jesse, James and Meowth in union. The next day Ash, Misty, Brock,and hazel desided they'd head out to the Pokemon gym. It was a Sunny, cloudy day. "Ok, Hazel, so which one is the A gym", Ash asked Hazel as they stoud outside two large purple buildings. "That one, come on guys", Hazel said running to the building on the right. As they entered they noticed a huge desk. "Hey Jenny, is dad in, Ash here is trying to earn a badge".said Hazel. "Emm, let me check, if he's not, then Jay is in, he'll battle Ash", Said Jenny as she started trying franticly on her computer. Ash coundn't belive it, he'd have to battle Tom, Ash just hoped that he wasn't in so he'd have to battle with Jay. "Yep, your fathers here, go on in to the gym", jenny said pointing to a large metal door that looked won out. "Thats kool, that means there are two gyms in your family, Misty", said Brock looking around. they went through the door and entered a large room with unfamiliar markings on it. "Wow, this gym in weird", said Misty looking at the markings on the floor. "Yeah, but kool, people say a misterous dragon type pokemon was imprisoned here", says Hazel. "Hi everyone", said a voice from the door, it was Tom. "So Ash, you ready to battle?" 'Huh.emm Yeah", Ash said still confused about the dragon ledgend. "Ok, We'll use 2 pokemon, no time limit, is that ok?",asked Tom "Yeah, I choose pikachu", said Ash stepping up to the arena. "Ok, I choose Typhlosion",Said Tom " Pikachu, Thunderbolt NOW!!!!", yeld Ash pointing to Typhlosion". Typhlosion tried to dodge the thunderbolt, but wasn't in time. "Typhlosion....Flame Wheel that Pikachu", Typhlosion let out a large wheel of fire, Pikachu ran as fast as he could to get away from it. Ash realised that pikachu was in danger and called him back. "Pikachu, return, go Totodile, water gun". Totodiles water gun put out the fire wheel. "Okay Typhlosion........swift". "Totodile dile totodile(up, down and swirl)", said Totodile while dodging the swifts with little dance moves. "Al right totodiles got his groove on", yeld Brock. " Ok Totodile tackle.NOW." , yeld Ash getting caught up in the moment. Totodiles tackle knock Typhlosion off his feet and into the wall. "Great job Ash, Typhlosion return......Go Butterfree, sleep powder",said Tom looking in Misty's direction. "Dodge it Totodile, use water gun to boost yours self into the air then try a tackle that might work". Sure enough it worked but while butterfree was falling it accidently sprayed some sleep powder in Misty's direction, Brock and Hazel got out the way in time, Misty didn't. "Misty!", Tom, and Ash shouted at the same time. " Tom dose sleep podwer have any side afects on humans," asked Ash while gentley picking Misty up and carying her to Tom. "I'm not sure....Brock do you know?" "All, I know is she'll sleep for about 4 hours now,", said Brock looking at Misty. "Dad, maybe we should take her home and lay her in bed", suggested Hazel. "Your right, but how'll we get her home with out waking her up so she could walk?', wondered Tom, who was totally unaware he could carry her. "I'll carry her Tom", Ash said looking down at the sleeping Misty, then making his way to the door. "Are you sure Ash?", asked Tom " Belive me Mr. Waterflower, he's sure", said Brock as he made his way to the door. When they got home Ash layed Misy on the bed and looked at Tom. "Ash could I speak to you for a second please?", asked Tom Ash looked at Brock then agreed. Tom lead Ash to the back yard, where there was a beautiful view of the setting sun over the blue shimmering ocean. "Ash, you diserve this, not only for winning the gym battle, but for your kindness towards Misty", Tom said smiling. " Huh, thank you Tom", Ash said staring down at his newly earned badge. Oh, i wander what Toms saying to Ash out there?", asked Mrs. Waterflower. Brock who was washing the dishes looked up. "I think Mr. Waterflower is very fond of Ash....",said Brock looking out the window at Mr. Waterflower and Ash who were now heading back in. " Daddy really likes Ash...I can tell", said Hazel smiling. That night, in there room Ash, Misty, and Brock were fast a sleep. Untill the sleep podwer wore off and she woke. At first she had no focus in her eyes and just sat there. Then she looked over at Pikachu who looked like he was about to fall of the desk everytime his fat little belly went out during his breathing. Then she looked at Brock who was continusly chanting "I love you nurse Joy, I love you Officer Jenny", in his sleep. then she looked over at Ash who looked expecally peaceful considering he was sleep on a rock hard wooden floor. " Misty thinking about how she would probly wake up again in an hour or so because of how much sleep she already had went over and layed by Ash. She took her blanket off the bed and layed it over her and Ash. She figured since she'd wake back up really really soon, no one would catch her. Feeling her presence Ash slowly sat up. "Hey, Misty what are you doing?" he asked surprised to see her sitting next him. "I....uh...I didn't want you to be the only one having to sleep on this hard wooden floor.hee hee". At this time Brock had awoken for his Jenny/Joy fantasy wedding dream. "Guys its alm.....whats going on, what am I missing here?", Brock asked now wide eyed at the Ash/Misty site. He stared at Ash and Misty who were now for some unknown reason blushing littly. All the comostion had now woken Pikachu...who was also interested in why Misty was now on the floor with Ash. "I didn't think it was fair for Ash to have to sleep on the hard wooden floor, While I am in a comfortable bed, and your on a half comfortable couch", answered Misty sounding genuinely worried. "Thanks anyway Misty, but i think I'll be fine", smiled Ash "Ash I'v got a plan we'll switch everynight", said Brock "Great idea Brock....goodnight guys". "Huh..oh goodnight guys", Misty said, now feeling alittle stupid about what she had done crawled back into bed and drifted to sleep. The next morning everyone woke up early....exept Ash, who was tired from the nigh before, since he was the last one to fall asleep. "Ash get your lazy butt out of bed", yeld Misty "Huh..oh why....whats so important?" "Ash, come on we are going back to pallet town....remember you wanted to see your mom again".
