I slowed to a normal pace. I took in several deep breaths. From now on no one was coming on my journey! I put Pikachu down and sat down next to him. He stared at me with longing eyes.
“What?” I asked rudely.
“Pika-pi?!” (What happened?!)
“Sorry I snapped at you, Pikachu. I really don’t want to
talk about it…”
“Pikachu-pi-chu?” (It couldn’t be that bad, could it?)
“Yeah, it’s worse than bad! It’s not fair…Misty needs a
dose of her own medicine!”
“Pikachu-pi-chu-pi?” (What’d she do?) I shook my head. I
should just try to forget it. I closed my eyes.
“Hey Ashy-butt!” My eyes opened, then narrowed. I shot up
to face Gary, with blonde hair and a new outfit! His outfit included a yellow
bandana around his neck; a red shirt with buttons; rubber boots, and black
sweatpants! I started snorting with laughter. He looked horrible! His hair
wasn’t even really blonde; it was so bright it looked white. His outfit is
something toddler would wear. “WHAT?” He questioned with anger in his voice.
“You…look *snort*…horrifying!” Pikachu was rolling on the
ground with laughter.
“Humph! You’re just jealous because I got blonde hair AND a
new outfit!”
“You DORK! I already have blonde hair and I DON’T want it!” Gary’s face fell. “I’m going back to my OLD clothes! I look too much like Brock!” Gary’s face dropped even lower.
“Well, out of comments, are we?” I sniffled, trying to look
like I was sad. Gary turned around with a ‘humph’ and trotted off.
That had taken my mind off Misty for a while that day while
I traveled. I was very grateful for that. I wish I had bought a camera. Every
once in awhile Pikachu would let out another snigger.
“ASH!” I turned around to find Kara running up to me.
“Hey Kara.”
“Hey…Ash…guess…what…today…is?” I reached into my backpack
and pulled out some a water bottle and handed it to Kara.
“What’s today?”
She pointed her pointer finger up indicating: wait. She
finished another gulp of water and wiped her lips. “Thanks! It’s my tenth
birthday! I’m going to Pallet to start my journey in four days! I wanted to
start the Indigo Plateau before the Johto League!”
“You are? Congratulations Kara!”
“THANKS!”
“Wait a second. Did you say: Pallet?” Kara nodded her head.
“And where are you going right now?”
“I’m supposed to be in Azul City by Thursday night so I can
get on the plane on Friday morning.”
“That’s were I’m going and my hometown is Pallet!”
“Are you serious? That is so cool!”
I smiled. “You’re welcome to come with me to Azul.”
“You bet I’m coming!”

That day had been interesting, yet, gloomy. Kara had asked
about what happened with Misty and I had told her what happened, and cried.
Crying was embarrassing, especially in front of a ten year old. Just think
about it! Kara told me I was the first boy that she had seen my age cry.
Somehow she respected me for that. I don’t know why. Most people call me a
crybaby for that.
“Let’s stop for the night, Kara.” She nodded.
I got out my sleeping bag and two sandwiches’. I handed one
to Kara.
“Thank you, Ash.”
“You’re welcome, hey, where’s your sleeping bag?”
“Don’t have one, I’m used to it, don’t worry.”
I gave her a worried look. “No! Here.” I pulled out an
extra blanket and handed it to her.
“You’re so sweet, Ash.” I smiled.
We soon finished and decided to go to sleep, so we could
get up early. Pikachu curled up against me and we fell asleep.
