There, entering the Pewter City Pokemon Center, was Ash Ketchum. My
mouth hung open. "What? Do you know that loser?" "Uh, yeah,  I used to
live in Viridian and I'd always go down to Pallet to talk to Professor
Oak." "That's my grandpa." "Really?" I asked, pretending to be
surprised. then Ash came towards us. "Gary, who's the cute girl?" he
asked. Oh God, not another Brock! "Her? She's Misty, and she would never
want to go out with pond scum like you!"

      They started arguing. I began to get bored. "She's going out with
me, anyways!" said Gary. Huh? He gave me one of the looks that said, I'm
making it up so he'll leave you alone. "Really? Then kiss her!" shouted
Ash. I looked surprised. "You're not going out, are you?" smirked Ash.
"Yes, we are! Watch this!" It was full mouth to mouth. It came so quick
that it nearly knocked me over. I felt dizzy, lightheaded. But yet
amazingly enough, it felt right. Gary let go. "Sorry," he whispered. I
nodded.

    "Misty, can I tell you a secret?" asked Gary, after Ash was gone.
"Sure!" I said. "Well, ever since we met, I felt like doing that to you.
The kiss, I mean."
