Jesse reached out to grab Pikachu; she was wearing rubber gloves of course. Pikachu 
jumped out of her grasp to land on her head where he used thunderbolt. Ash untied 
Misty's hands to smile. "Let's go." Misty smiled back. "Come on Pikachu!" James yelled. 
"NO!" Suddenly two more rockets rushed down the stairs, one trying to hold back Misty. 
Misty kicked him and grabbed Pikachu. Ash yelled as he punched the other. "GO! Get 
help!" Misty ran up the stairs to find help. The rocket pulled something from his pocket. 
"I'll end this now, GO ARBOK, POISON STING!" Ash slowly fell to the ground as the 
poison entered him. The other rockets stared. "What have you done?! Come on, we got to get 
out of here." They ran past him, where there was a meowth balloon waiting. Ash lay on 
the floor, motionless.

"Is he gonna be ok? I want to know!" 
"I'm afraid we don't know yet miss."

     Misty stomped out of the room and sat, Gary beside her. "So, he was attacked by a 
rocket's arbok?" Tears rolled down Misty's face and she nodded. Tracey came running 
and Misty stood. "Tracey? I didn't know you were here too." Tracey smiled. "Anything I 
can do to help?" Misty nodded. "Go call Ash's mom and tell her." The doctor came out, 
not sounding like it was going very well. "You may go in for a few minutes miss." Misty 
ran into the room to see Ash's white face. "Ash? Can you hear me?" Ash didn't move. "I 
was going to tell you something but I couldn't, I was too shy. Ash, I...I love you. I 
haven't been following you for my stupid bike, but for you. Ash, you can't go. Please 
don't. Ash!" There was a loud beep as Ash's heart stopped beating. "NO!" Misty ran out 
of the room as the doctor again entered.
     Tracey returned, giving a tissue to Misty. Misty wiped it across her tear-covered face. 
She looked at Tracey. "Do you think he'll be ok?" Tracey looked at her, sympathy shown 
in his expression. "Of course." Misty frowned and walked back into the other room to 
kneel down beside Ash's bed. "Ash, please don't go. I can't live without you. Please 
don't go." Ash's eyes slowly opened. "Misty?" Misty's eyes widened. "ASH!" Ash looked 
at her. "I love you too." Misty smiled. "Thank you for rescuing me." Ash smiled. "You 
thought I wouldn't?" Misty grinned. "Are you feeling ok? I'll go if you're tired or 
something." Ash shook his head. Ash slowly sat up, as Misty got closer to him. Their lips 
met for one passionate kiss. As their lips broke away, Ash wrapped his arms around her 
and smiled again.

------------------------Returning from the cruise--------------------

Ash's mom ran to meet him. "My poor little boy!" She hugged him. "Are you ok?" Ash 
nodded. Brock smiled. "Welcome back. The police caught Team Rocket." Ash grinned. 
"So I've heard." Misty picked up Pikachu. Ash patted Pikachu's head. And so all was 
right, Team Rocket was thrown in jail, Ash was alive, Pikachu was safe, and Misty had 
let out her feelings. All was right. At least, for now..........

-cheers- It's all over! That's the last part. I know it's not that great and I don't expect 
anyone to love it. I tried. That's my first one. Trust me, there will be more.
