Chapter 5

Normal POV

Our heroes are on their way to Solaceon Town, but there seems to be someone missing in their party.

"You still haven't told me where Ash went, Brock." Dawn said, glaring at her older friend. "I already told you, he's running an errand and he'll be back in a couple of days." Brock replied. "That's not what I wanted to hear Brock, WHERE is he?" Dawn said, putting emphasis on "where".

"Why did you have to make me keep it a secret Ash? She's driving me crazy!" Brock thought.

All of a sudden, another hole appeared out of nowhere, for the second time that week. "Yes, now the interrogation will stop for a little while!" Brock thought, half-relieved that Team Rocket chose now to show up.

Sure enough, the Meowth Balloon floated from above, and Jessie, James, and Meowth began their newest motto.

Jessie: "Listen, is that the voice of surprised twerps I hear?"

James: "It's speaking to me loud and clear."

Jessie: "On the wind!"

James: "Past the stars!"

Meowth: "In your ear!"

Jessie: "Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!"

James: "Dashing all hope and putting fear in its place!"

Jessie: "A rose by any other name is just as sweet."

James: "When everything is worse, our work is complete."

Jessie: "Jessie!"

James: "And it's James!"

Meowth: "Meowth, now that's a name!"

Jessie: "Putting the do-gooders in their place!"

James: We're Team Rocket!"

And all three of them finished with: "In your face!"

And as was his custom, Wobbuffet appeared to enter his input.

"Wooo buffet!" (That's right!) It exclaimed. "Mime mime mime!" (That's right!) James' Mime Jr. said, mimicking Wobbuffet.

"Team Rocket!" Dawn and Brock exclaimed from the hole. "You know you guys have no sense of consistency?" Dawn yelled angrily. "What's dat supposed ta mean?" Meowth yelled back. "You didn't even use the same motto as last time!" Dawn replied. Team Rocket face-faulted, then quickly recovered.

"We decided to change things up a bit, yesterday's motto was from the days of the brown-haired twerpette, but we didn't even get to finish so what do you care?" Jessie screamed.

"What is it you want this time?" Brock yelled at them. "As if we didn't already know." Brock thought.

"The same thing we always want! Give us Pikachu!" Jessie exclaimed. "Um…Jess?" James said timidly. "What is it James?" Jessie snapped. James pointed down into the hole and counted the number of twerps.

"One, two, th – hey! Where's the Pikachu toting twerp?" Jessie yelled angrily. "Uh oh, back to square one." Brock thought nervously. "Yeah Brock, where is Ash?" Dawn asked, narrowing her eyes at Brock. "W-Why should we tell you guys anything?" Brock yelled, ignoring Dawn's question.

"Because if the twerp with the Pikachu isn't here, all the work we put into digging this hole will be wasted!" James said with disappointment. "Forget dat Pikachu! We'll just hafta settle for nabbin' all the other Pokémon!" Meowth exclaimed.

"Forget it Team Rocket! Let's go Croagunk!" Brock yelled, sending out his faithful frog. Croagunk appeared from his Pokeball and croaked randomly. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get! Go Seviper!" Jessie called out her snake, who hissed savagely.

"Seviper, use Poison Tail!" Jessie ordered. Seviper charged towards the squatting frog with ferocity that could strike fear into the heart's of almost any Pokémon. Any Pokémon that didn't belong to Ash, Brock, or Dawn that is.

"Croagunk! Dodge, and use Brick Break!" Croagunk leaped into the air and avoided the sweeping Poison Tail, then his hand glowed and he brought it down hard onto Seviper's head. "Get up Seviper! Show some spine!" Jessie yelled. Seviper recovered quickly, and got back into battle-ready stance.

"Are you going to attack or not?" Jessie yelled at James. "Oh, right." James said sheepishly, pulling out a Pokeball. "Carnivine, I choose you!" James exclaimed, sending out his larger grass-type. Carnivine appeared, then immediately turned around to bite James' head affectionately.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not food? Use Bullet Seed!" James yelled. Carnivine opened his mouth and the Bullet Seed started raining down on Croagunk, who fell back from the impact. "Aah! Croagunk, are you alright?" Brock asked with concern. "Croagunk!" (I'm fine!)

"Alright, use Poison Sting!" Brock ordered. Dawn finally jumped out of the hole and joined the brawl. "Buneary, get out here and use Ice Beam!" She yelled as she called out her rabbit Pokémon. "Buuuu neary!" Buneary popped out of her Pokeball, and immediately fired a powerful Ice Beam, just as Croagunk launched his Poison Sting. Seviper and Carnivine were knocked back into their respective master's, just in time to be blasted off.

"I can't believe this! We manage to lose even when the twerp and his Pikachu aren't around!" Jessie yelled, fuming at the fact that they had lost again. "Hey look, we're flying towards da Kanto region!" Meowth exclaimed. "How do you know that Meowth?" James asked. "Call it Poke-instinct." Meowth replied.

"Will you two boneheads shut up? Who cares where we're going? The point is…" Jessie yelled.

"We're blasting off again!" "Wooo buffet!" *Ping*

"Nice job Croagunk, return." Brock said before recalling his poison frog. "So Brock, I'm not the only one who would like to know where Ash is." Dawn said, narrowing her eyes at Brock for about the hundredth time that day. "Good thing I didn't tell, huh?" Brock said, feigning pride. "Well, Team Rocket is gone now; can you tell me where he is now?" Dawn asked sweetly.

"Sorry Dawn. That information is classified." Brock said calmly. Dawn had had enough at this point. "(Growl) Buneary, use Ice Beam on Brock until he fesses up!" Dawn said with an evil grin on her face. "You wouldn't…" Brock said nervously. Buneary fired an Ice Beam at Brock's feet, causing him to jump five feet into the air.

"She would!" Brock thought. Brock took off down the road, running from Ice Beams for as long as he could run. "You can't run forever Brock! I hate having secrets kept from me!" Dawn yelled, chasing after him. "If you knew the importance of this secret, you wouldn't be doing this!" Brock thought.

Ash's POV

"Hey Charizard, thanks for doing this for me." I said gratefully. Charizard grunted and shrugged dismissively, but I knew that was his way of saying 'You're welcome'." All that training at the Charicific Valley had made him way stronger than I could have made him by myself. I looked around and saw something flying across the sky, and so did Pikachu.

"Look Pikachu, it's not every day you see a shooting star in the daytime!" I said. "Pika." (Wow.) He said in awe. I closed my eyes and made a wish. "Please, after all the trouble me and my friends are going through, let this plan work…and let Misty like me the same way I like her." I no longer had any doubts about how I felt about Misty, I did love her…but for how long I've loved her, I wasn't sure. Maybe I always have and never realized it.

"Pikapi, pi pi ka chu?" (Ash, what's on your mind?) Pikachu asked me, nuzzling my neck. "Oh, I was just thinking about Misty again." As I said that, I felt my cheeks starting to grow warm. "Pikachupi pi ka chu pika pika." (Misty does like you, I just know it.) Pikachu said encouragingly. "I sure hope so buddy." I replied. I heard Charizard grunt, as we were nearing our destination.

"Cerulean City! We're almost there! Just a little more Charizard!" I encouraged my friend, who I noticed was starting to get severely fatigued. "We're over an ocean, if Charizard gives out now, we're in serious trouble." I thought nervously.

Misty's POV

After many more encounters with Daisy, I was starting to become exasperated with the whole situation. Why did she want to talk to me about this so badly? I went to the gym's pool to take a quick swim to try and calm my nerves. I changed into my red bathing suit, and set Azurill by the edge of the pool.

"Ahh, finally, the one place where I can be alone with my thoughts. Underwater!" I thought. I swam to the bottom of the pool, and started to think. "I wonder where Ash is right now. Probably battling another gym leader…I can't help but be proud of him…he's fulfilling his dreams…like I want to." I thought, "Who knows, maybe one day one of my sisters will step up and allow me to find him someday. It seems unlikely, but there's nothing wrong with hoping."

As my breath started to give out, I swam back to the top and took in a big gulp of air. "Azu azu!" (Look, look!) Azurill cried, pointing her tail towards the gym door. "What is it Azurill?" I asked my baby. "Azu zu zurill." (I think someone's there.) it said. "Well, only one way to find out." I said. I picked up Azurill into my arms and hugged her close, there was always a feeling of comfort when I had Azurill with me, but the inner turmoil I was feeling lately was more than Azurill alone could cure.

I walked to the door, dreaming that it would be Ash standing there, inviting me in for a hug. But that was impossible…he was all the way in Sinnoh. I finally got to the door and opened it.

Ash's POV

"You did awesome Charizard, I'm way beyond proud of you." I said heartily. I rubbed the back of my exhausted dragon, who had just enough strength to land at the edge of Cerulean City. "Now, we'll get you to Nurse Joy so that she can get your strength back up for the flight back."

Charizard growled, which was his way of saying "ok".

"Charizard, return." I recalled my powerful friend into its Pokeball, which would make the trip way easier. "Alright Pikachu, first stop is the Pokémon Center, and then, Cerulean Gym!" I said excitedly "Pi pika chu!" (Alright!) Pikachu exclaimed with the same excitement. I laughed at my friend's enthusiasm.

Luckily for me and Pikachu, the walk wasn't very long, and we reached the Pokémon Center in a total time of maybe ten minutes. "Take good care of Charizard, he went all out to get me here, and he's beyond exhausted." I said as I handed Charizard's Pokeball to Nurse Joy. "Of course young man. I'll see to it personally, you're welcome to wait if you'd like." She offered.

"No thanks Nurse Joy, I have other plans to attend to." I replied. "Well then, good luck to you." She said cheerfully. "Seeya Nurse Joy, I'll be back to pick up Charizard!" I waved bye to her and walked out the doors of the center. "And now…" I paused to allow my friend to finish the sentence. "Pikachupi!" (Misty!) Pikachu said ecstatically.

"You got it! So what are we waiting for?" I ran off in the direction of Misty's gym, excitement running up and down my spine. My stomach felt more and more like Butterfree with every bounding step I took. "Am I hung- nope, I'm not falling for that again. My stomach is acting this way because of Misty." I thought with a smile on my face. At least, I thought that was what it was, until my stomach growled angrily.

"Oh, heh heh, looks like I really am hungry." I said with a sweat-drop. Pikachu chuckled at that. "Ok, first we get a snack, and then we go see Misty." I finally concluded. Me and Pikachu took a small detour to a nearby hot-dog stand, and I bought a hot-dog for me with packets of ketchup and mustard. I only cared for mustard on my hot-dogs, which worked out since Pikachu had already opened the packets of ketchup and started eating them all.

"I guess some things never change, eh Pikachu?" I said, laughing at my friend's face which was now covered in ketchup. "Pi ka chu!" (That's right!) he replied, licking his face. We finished our lunch in considerable silence. Before long, we were back on the road to Cerulean gym. "There it is!" I exclaimed. "Pikachupi!" (Misty!) Pikachu yelled.

I ran to the front door of the gym and was about to open it, when I got slammed into the wall by an overly excited kid who was running out of the gym. "We did it! Can you believe it Growlithe?" the boy said happily. "Growl growl!" (Awesome!) it replied. The boy ran off with a Cascade Badge in his hand. "Misty lost to a fire-type? Weird…" I said to myself after dusting myself off.

I chuckled to myself. "Misty's probably pretty mad now, eh Pikachu?" I said to my friend. "Pika pika." (Yeah, probably.) he replied. "Hmm, I have an idea; Misty hasn't heard my new 'puberty' voice. Let's see if we can make this visit a pleasant surprise." I said. "Pikapi, pi pi ka chu?" (Ash, what are you going to do?) Pikachu asked suspiciously.

I slammed my fist against the door and yelled: "I'm here to see the gym leader of Cerulean!"

Misty's POV

I was beyond angry now. I lost to a fire-type! I just knew that Daisy would try to talk to me about this too. I was about to walk up to my room and cry some more, when I heard a determined voice from outside the gym. "I'm here to see the gym leader of Cerulean!" the voice yelled. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it, but I did know that I was not in the mood for any more battles, so I tried to walk away, but whoever was there kept banging on the door.

I turned around, mallet at the ready, and peered my head out the door with my eyes closed. I didn't want to see the face of the boy I was about to hurt the feelings of. "Well the gym's closed for the day so you'll have to get your dumb badge tomorrow!" I yelled angrily.

"I just said I wanted to see the gym leader, I didn't say anything about a badge." The voice said calmly. I opened my eyes and I immediately thought I was dreaming. It just couldn't be…

"A-Ash?"
