“Ash, can we go to New York please?!” May pleaded for the hundredth time.

“Fine we’ll visit New York…” Ash groaned giving into May’s pleading.

“Yay!” May squealed. “I better go and tell Max and Mary to pack! Lightly though cuz you’re gonna buy them a lotta clothes right?”

“Yeah, yeah…” Ash yawned. “Hurry and pack so we can leave on the jet before 12 okay?”

“Why so early?” May questioned curiously. “We’ll only have an hour to pack and get everything ready.”

“So that way you can stop bugging me and you won’t change your mind and want to go the Bahamas or who knows where else…”

“Ash!” May laughed.

***The Next Day***

“Where are ya going Misty?” Dan asked as he watched her dress in running shorts and a sweatshirt while he laid on their bed.

“Me and Sharon are gonna run around Central Park.” Misty replied lacing up her shoelaces. “Then we’re gonna participate in the Central Park Pokemon Tournament Challenge they’re having…”

“You’re gonna battle in that tournament again?” Dan asked incredulously as he wen to put on his own clothes. “I thought you two had tied for first place last year.”

“Exactly. Since we’re winners from last year, it’s our duty to begin the tournament by battling against each other to see if we untie.”

“You and Sharon?” Dan asked excitedly. “You mean the old ‘Battle of The Sisters’ battle?”

“Yeah…”

“Well then I can’t miss this! It’s gonna be good…”

“We’ll probably tie like usual.” Misty replied as she quickly packed her knapsack with some clothes. “So you’ll be there?”

“Of course. I can’t miss the Battle of the Sisters, that’s just stupid. And as your boyfriend, it’s my duty to go with you to cheer you on and what not…”

He nipped her ear and she giggled. Misty bent down to kiss him on the cheek. Smiling she replied, “I’ll see you later then hon…”

“I can’t believe we’re in new York!” May exclaimed as she, Ash, Max, and Mary rode in a limo. “Let’s shop! We can do some early holiday shopping!”

“May, we’re in the middle of June!” Max replied rolling his eyes.

“Let’s enter this tournament!” Mary suddenly exclaimed showing them a magazine. “It’s in Central park and it starts today around noon. But you’ve got to pay to get in… All fees are donated to Pokemon Centers around the country.”

“Cool!” Ash replied taking the magazine. “If we get there soon, we can sign up. It’s for all ages…”

“Well it’s settled then!” May smiled. She turned to pick up a phone and waited for the driver to pick up. “To Central Park please.”

******

“C’mon Mist! We’ve gotta change!” Sharon yelled as she ran down the steps of the stadium and heading towards the stage upon which the tournament was to take place. “We’ve only got half an hour!”

“Why the hell did you stop for ice cream then!? I mean we were running!” Misty shouted from behind her.

“You know me Mist. I’m weak for chocolate. I’m a Chocolate Lover! You know in school they used to call Cocoa Bean…” Sharon grinned. “When we’re through with this, you’ve got to remind me to tell you the story.”

Soon they ran behind the stage and entered their respective rooms to take a quick shower. Once they were done they quickly changed. Misty went into Sharon’s room to see if she was done.

“Sharon ya done?” Misty asked knocking upon Sharon’s bathroom door.

“Nearly. Just need to comb my hair!” Sharon yelled back.

Misty rolled her eyes and went over to Sharon’s desk. She picked up a list of names which she curiously looked over.

“Hey Sharon, is this the list of all the contestants?” Misty asked.

“Yeah! I found some people there you might know! Check ‘em out!” Sharon called out. “They’re high-lighted!”

Misty looked down the list with interest. This first column consisted of A, B and C names. The first name that she cam across that she knew was-

“Angelo!?” Misty whispered. “Oh I haven’t see him in a while…”

She kept on scanning done the column. The name that her attention was non other than-

“Ash!” Misty exclaimed.

“Ketchum…” Sharon replied as she stepped out. “Max is in there too… And so is Angelo.”

“They’re here…? In New York!?” Misty exclaimed.

“Yep. Now let’s get out there and begin this tournament so we can beat Ash’s ass up.” Sharon grinned.

“Yes… let’s.” Misty smiled.

******

“It says here that the first to battle will be the winners from last year who tied to see who’ll go against this year’s finalists to see who’s this year’s winner.” Max explained pointing at the pamphlet, given to them by the person who registered them.

“Cool. Who are they?” Ash asked.

“Doesn’t say… All I does say is ‘Battle of The Sisters.’ Weird…” he issued a pack of paper. “You’re going to battle against this Angelo Martinez dude…”

“I know him!” Mary suddenly exclaimed looking at the young man’s picture. “He was in love with Misty! He has a Growlithe that is the cutest thing you’ll ever see!”

“Come to think of it… yeah… I once heard Misty and Sharon talking about meeting him…” May nodded thoughtfully.

“And I bet you thought he was another one of Misty’s so called
“clients” right?” Mary replied coldly as she rolled her eyes,

“Hey don’t you dare scold me! You have no right you little ungrateful br-” May started but Ash cut in, “Let’s just get to the stadium so we can see these winners...”

******

Misty stepped onto her square with a bright smile on her face. She faced Sharon who was standing upon her square yards across from her, grinning at the crowd. Everyone was cheering and stamping like crazy. They could barely hear the announcer over the speakers.

“Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and girls of all ages! I welcome you all to the Third Annual Central Park Pokemon Tournament Challenge! And I am proud to present to you last year’s winners who tied last year and are ready to have a rematch! Misty Waterflower in black and blue!” there was loud cheers at this. “And her equal rival in everything-cuz get this folks, they’re sisters-Sharon Anderson in black and red!” There were more cheers at this. “The famous ‘Battle of the Sisters’ begins here in Central Park Stadium! The two Ice and Water Pokemon Masters in the world battle it out here!”

Misty pulled out a Pokeball from her belt at the same time Sharon did. They posed, ready for the call of the referee.

“Sharon Anderson, Ice Pokemon Master in red, and Misty Waterflower in blue battle a rematch. Let the battle begin!” the referee yelled.

******

“I don’t believe it…!” Max yelled. “Sharon and Misty are the two winners!”

“Wow…” May replied sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. “Really nice…”

“Wow! Misty’s Politaod had gotten really strong! Sharon’s Dewgong has gotten even more beautiful!” Mary exclaimed a she cheered the two sisters on.

Ash stared in awe and shock as he stared up at the screen at his teenage love… Misty…

Ash watched as he analyzed Misty. She wore a dark blue skirt and a black shirt, over which she wore a blue a cape which had a black hood. She shouted at her orders forcefully but always in a bright smiling way. He looked over at Sharon who had on black jeans and a red shirt beneath a red cape and a black hood. She shouted to her Pokemon passionately and with confidence.

He couldn’t believe that after all these years, he had finally caught up with his childhood friends. What more surprises could there be? He smiled nonetheless and cheered on like the rest of the fans.

Misty’s Politoad soon defeated Sharon’s Dewgong. Sharon quickly called out her Seaking. Yelling out orders Sharon’s Seaking used tackle, knocking out Misty’s tired Politoad.

“Go Sharon! Go Misty!” Mary screamed waving both a red and blue flag which had both Sharon’s and Misty’s faces on them.

Millions of spectators were standing up, a swirl of red and blue all around as the fans for each trainer cheered their idols’ Pokemon on.

“We’ve been here for over an hour!” May whined exasperated.

“Then leave!” Max yelled. “Go Misty! Go Sharon!”

Ash watched as Sharon’s last Pokemon Articuno and Misty’s last Pokemon Poliwrath battled on fiercely. Attacks flied this way and that, a never ending sea of competing for the title.

Suddenly as Articuno fire an Ice Beam, Misty’s Poliwrath used Hydropump, the two attacks collided, causing an explosion. The smoke cleared and the Pokemon were seen lying on the ground unconscious.

“This rematch is a tie! Both remain the victors!” the referee shouted.

There was yelling and cheering at this. Both young women ran over to their Pokemon and returned them to their Pokeballs. They rushed forward and gave each other a strong hug, congratulating each other. Two young men ran out to meet them; one was tall, black haired and gray eyed, whom Ash knew well, the other was a red-head with Cerulean blue-green eyes and was a bit taller. The Raven head wearing black jeans and red shirt with the same matching cape ran over to Sharon whom kissed him lightly. The red head wore dark blue jeans matching blue shirt and the same cape ran over to Misty who hugged him tightly and gave him a deep passionate kiss.

“And there are the two boyfriends of the victors! Dan Everwaters, World Greatest Pokemon Coordinator currently with Misty Waterflower!” There were screams from the girls wearing blue at this. “And Damien Dawnson, Fire Pokemon master, currently with Sharon Anderson!” Screams from the girls of the red crowd arose.

Ash felt his insides begin to churn. His hands balled into fist as his eyes became slits of fury. Angry by what he was seeing, he looked away and looked over at Sharon who was talking to Damien as they walked over to Misty and Dan. Misty was still with Dan…

*One Week Later*

“Wow Ash! You beat Angelo in the semi-finals easily!” May exclaimed happily. “Now you’re going to the final to battle Sharon or Misty!”

“So is Angelo cuz he was in the semi-finals… That way maybe they‘ll have two new winners” Max added.

“Yeah…” Ash grinned. “I’ll beat ‘em.”

“I doubt it Ash…” Mary scoffed. “Misty’s team has gotten stronger and she’s bound to being something new in this time around. And besides Sharon’s ‘Undefeatable’… You have no chance.”

“Thanks for the support.” Ash replied rolling his eyes.

***Next Day***

“Crud!” Sharon yelled storming into Misty’s room, holding a small pack of papers.

“What?” Misty asked turning around in her chair.

“I’m battling Ash!”

“This bites!” Sharon yelled frustrated. “I mean of all the idiotic bastards!”

“Shar… calm down.” Misty replied soothingly. “Didn’t you want to battle him?

“No… I wanted you to battle him… That way you could’ve showed him how much better off you were without him!” Sharon complained.

Misty smiled at Sharon but shook her head, “No Sharon. I might’ve lost. You’re definitely going to win.”

“Ya think so?”

“I know so!” Misty grinned. “Now go out there and keep training!”
