It's been two weeks since Ash and Co. took a break from their journeys to visit their familes in their own home towns. Misty was spending the entire fighting her fellings for Ash, she knew he liked him, but she had no idea he felt for her. So he decided to let it play out on her own. The reason, she was afraid her sisters would give her a hard time about it. Also, she would say never told anyone about her fellings, not even her sisiters
None of them really talked during the two weeks, in fact, Ash was only talking to Brock, and asking if he knew if anything was going on with Misty. All Brock could say, is "that I could not tell you about anything other than Pokemon." Ash had no idea what to do, it was just the matter of putting his personal life ahead of his pokemon life. By telling Misty how he felt, he knew that Misty would just say "to not to say that". So he decided to put his fellings aside.
       Brock on the other hand was too busy calling every Nurse Joy and Officer Joy within 5 miles to listen to any compliant Misty or Ash had.
The trio were about to meet up again when Misty was walking on a path, then a shadowy figure ran into her path, and kidnapped her before anyone knew or saw anything. The creature raced Misty through the nearby forest into an isolated house in the middle of the woods.
