*A Few Months Later*

In the last few months, Misty had defeated seven more gym leaders, including her “Sensational” Sisters. While Ash and Misty were making there way to down Victory Road to the Indigo League, Ash’s old rival, Gary, was training very hard. He had already been beaten by Ash, and would not suffer the defeat of his companion, no matter the cost…

Meanwhile, Team Rocket had had enough. They would dispose of the girl who kept ruining their plans and jailing their members. Under the personal command of Giovanni, and Elite group of twelve Rocket members planned to infiltrate the pokémon stadium. In fact, so desperate were they, that they teamed up with none other than Gary Oak.

Ash and Misty entered the stadium with High spirits. Completely oblivious to Gary and Team Rocket’s plan..

*A few days later*

Misty and Gary had beaten their respective opponents easily and prepared to battle the elite four. Misty battled Lorelei first. “This will be a one on one battle.”

“Dewgong, I choose you!” she said.

“Then I choose Seadra!”

“Dewgong, Ice beam!”

“Seadra, Agility, then Hydro Pump!”

Seadra dodged the ice beam, and its powerful Hydro Pump hit Dewgong, who staggered.

“Alright, finish it with a water gun!”

Seadra jetted water at Dewgong, and Dewgong fainted. Misty walked up to Lorelei, and Ash hung back for a minute. Lorelei saw that something was troubling Misty, and decided to ask her.

“What’s wrong girl?” she asked.

“I’m… I’m so scared, scared of what could happen…” Misty said.

“Don’t worry, If you lose, you can always try again.” Lorelei replied.

“No, its not that, It’s just…. Ash, I just want to tell him so our relationship could blossom, and we could be more than just friends, but… I’m just so frightened of what could happen, he could leave, and then, I’d never see him again, and I don’t think I can risk that, but then again, what would be the point, just staying without him knowing? I’m just so confused…” A tear dropped from her eye.

“Calm down,” said Lorelei understandingly, “Just tell him tonight, after this league is over, whether or not you win. If he really is a true friend, he won’t forsake you, and the worst that could happen is that you would just go on, like before…” Lorelei said the last bit a bit wispily, “I can sympathize, It happened with me, too.”

“But I don’t think that I could live, knowing that my love was not returned.”

“Wouldn’t it be better than now? Being miserable, scared?”

“I guess you’re right, Lorelei, thanks.” Misty wiped her eyes.

“All I can tell you now is that you’ll be facing Bruno next.”
