Ok, this is my first ever fanfic of anything. I've never done one before so give
me a break. This fanfic will be loaded with romance, action, comedy, and maybe
sadness. Or, it should be. Please send suggestions for the next chapter,
comments, but please, no flames. ~Vulpix Dreamer
Disclaimer: Pokemon is not mine, I'm sure you know that though. Don't you?
The day for Ash and Misty started out like any other, fights, anger, and
the often heard sentence from Misty, "I'm only following you until you pay me
back for my bike!" They were at the pokemon center in Vermillion City.
Ash: "But I don't want to go on the stupid cruise!"
Misty: "But Ash, we need a vacation!"
Ash: "Then you take one!"
Misty: "I'm not going to quit following you until you repay me for my bike!"
Ash: "When will you forget about that?!"
Misty: "When you get me a new one." She said casually.
Ash: "You're getting on my nerves."
Pikachu: "Pikapi pikachu. (Oh brother)." Pikachu reached his little paws up to
his ears and tried desperately to tune them out.
Ash and Misty were now 16. They had been traveling together for 6 years,
believe it or not. Misty had changed quite a bit. She was taller and wore her
long orange hair straight. She also wore a purple dress that reached down to the
ground. Ash too was different. His usually messy hair was combed and laid neatly
on his head. He wore a black shirt and blue jeans that were ripped at the knee.
The videophone rang and Ash picked it up quickly. He yelled into it.
"What?!" It was Brock. He stared. "What are you fighting about this time?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ash lied. Brock rolled his eyes
and sarcastically replied. "Sure you don't." Ash's face turned red with anger.
"What do you want?" Brock grinned slightly. "Just wanted to make sure you were
awake to catch the St. Anne today." Ash mumbled. "I wish I didn't have to go at
all." Brock shook his head. "There's no getting out of it now." Ash nodded.
"Guess not." Brock looked at his watch and there was a loud beep. "Uh oh, sorry
Ash, gotta go, breakfast is done." And with that, Brock hung up the phone and
Ash turned. "Let's get this over with." Pikachu hopped onto his shoulder. Misty
looked at him, disgust shown on her face. "How can you dread this? A romantic
cruise, on the St. Anne, and for a week!" She paused, daydreaming for a moment.
"Come on, we don't wanna miss the cruise ship!" Ash rolled his eyes and
sarcastically mumbled. "Yeah we wouldn't wanna do that would we?"
-------------------------Onboard the St. Anne--------------------------
Misty sat on her bed and fell back, again daydreaming. She imagined Ash holding
out his hand and them dancing. She imagined sharing a passionate kiss with him.
As Ash entered, he heard Misty say, "Oh Ash..." Before she could finish what she
was originally going to say she heard him. She opened her eyes and sat up. Ash
grinned. "Oh Ash?" Misty thought to herself, trying to figure out something to
cover that up. "Oh Ash, how can you be so gloomy?" Ash shook his head and walked
out of her room. Misty changed into a bikini and walked out, then laying on a
lounge chair to catch some rays so to speak. And of course, what could Ash be
doing but pigging out at the buffet table. Misty shook her head at him. She
murmured. "Leave it to him to find the buffet table." She said louder. "Ash,
can't you enjoy the sun instead of the food?" Ash looked at her with a look that
seemed to say, "You're crazy." He chomped down on a small donut and turned back
to the buffet table. Misty thought to herself. 'I'm going to tell him this week.
But how to tell him......'
------------------------------That Night......---------------------------------
Misty sat on her bed, several pictures of Ash laid out on her bed. She smiled. It was late, around
12:00 A.M. and she had been staring at the pictures for an hour. "Ash, I haven't following you
around because of my bike, but because I...I have feelings for you." Misty shook her head,
"This'll never work." She sighed and put the pictures under her bed. She fell asleep quickly. Any
idea of what she was dreaming about?
----------------------------The next morning........------------------------
Misty woke to the rocking of the boat. She sighed and stood. She had only gotten 2
hours of sleep. There were small black circles under her eyes. She walked over to her
dresser and got dressed. She opened the door to see Ash's rival. "Gary?! What are you
doing here?"
Gary smirked. "Enjoying the cruise."
"Have you seen Ash? I need to talk to him."
"Nope."
"Well, thanks anyway." She turned and walked off to find Ash. When she found him
he and pikachu were stuffing their faces with donuts, biscuits, and tea. "Ash?"
"Yes Misty?" Ash mumbled through a mouth full of donut.
Misty thought quickly for she couldn't tell him. "Um...Aren't you going to leave any
for the rest of us?" Ash stared at her. "Just dig in, I'm not stopping you." Misty rolled her eyes. "Ash." She walked away. "Wonder what's wrong with her." Pikachu looked up at
him. "Pikapi chu. Pi pika pik pikipi. (Who knows. We'll never get girls.)" Ash nodded.
"You said it." When Ash finally finished, he walked back into his room. He laid on the
bed and Pikachu jumped up to sit beside him. 'Sometimes I don't understand Misty. I
wonder what she really wanted to tell me. Could she feel the way I do? Nah.' Ash sighed
heavily. Pikachu smiled at Ash. "Pikichu piku. (Love stinks.)" Ash nodded. "Yes it does
Pikachu, yes it does." Ash picked up a dusty old trophy. He took out a rag and polished it.
He smiled into it and read the words on it once again, TAMILIA CHAMPION. "Remember Pikachu?" Pikachu nodded and struck a fighting pose. Ash chuckled.
Meanwhile, Misty was exploring the ship. She sighed as she looked around. 'I wish Togepi was here with me. Then I wouldn't be so bored.' She thought. Suddenly she heard someone coming. She didn't turn around she just started walking. The sound got louder as whoever it was caught up with her. She started walking faster and the footsteps got faster. She thought it was her imagination. She took off at a run now, as the steps got louder and louder, closer and closer. A bag was thrown over her face and she fainted...
Ok, yet another chapter. Not as long as I would've liked, but it works. Send feedback, I know it's not that good, the next one will be better though.
---------------------------That night----------------------------
Ash jumped up. "I'm gonna do it Pikachu, I'm going to tell Misty how I feel."
Pikachu grinned. "Pikapi ika pi pik. (Good for you Ash.)" Ash opened the door, and
walked out the room, determined to tell Misty his true feelings.
He looked on the deck, not there; he looked below deck and still couldn't find her.
"Where is she?" Ash bowed his head and walked back to his room. "I can't find her
Pikachu, do you think she's avoiding me?" He bit his lip and looked at the electric rodent.
Pikachu shook his head. "Where could she have gone Pikachu?" Pikachu shrugged. Ash
frowned. "I bet she is, but why? What'd I do?" Pikachu patted him on the back. "Pika cha
piku pi pik. (She's not avoiding you, Ash.)" Ash looked down at his little friend. "I hope
you're right Pikachu."
And it was the truth she was not avoiding him. Well let's see if you can figure this out
for yourself.
"Prepare for trouble."
"And make it double."
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all people within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jesse."
"James."
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth that's right!"
Misty stared. "Not you three again." And again, there was a change in even Team
Rocket. James had his hair cut shorter and it lay messily on his head. Jesse had her hair
cut short; it went just slightly below her shoulders and was put up in a hair bow. They
had the normal rocket uniforms on. "What do you want now?"
Meowth: "Pikachu!"
Misty: "Oh give it a break! You'll never get Pikachu!"
Jesse: "Yes we will or the twerp won't get his little girlfriend back."
Misty stared. They were using her to get Pikachu. "I...I..." She bowed her head.
James: "This plan won't fail like our old ones will it Jesse?"
Jesse: "Of course not."
Meowth: "Now we'll give him a bit more time before we give him the note."
They laughed. Misty's head was bowed. 'I should never have gone exploring.' She
fought back the tears. Would Ash give Pikachu up to save her or would he keep Pikachu
and let her suffer? She would find out soon......
-----------------------------------The next morning---------------------
Ash stretched, got dressed, and opened the door to his room. He walked until he
reached Misty's room. He knocked on the door. When there was no answer he opened it
to find Misty wasn't there. He walked back to his room where he poked Pikachu awake.
"Pikachu, I'm worried about Misty." Pikachu rolled over. Ash sighed and noticed a note
that had obviously been slipped under the door. He picked it up and unfolded it. He read
it aloud. "Dear Twerp, We have your girlfriend. If you ever want to see her again, bring
your Pikachu below deck at 4:00 this afternoon. Signed, Team Rocket." He ran over to
his bed and shook Pikachu, getting a little 'shock' out of it. "Pikachu, Team Rocket
kidnapped Misty!" Pikachu instantly jumped up. "They want you in exchange for her."
Pikachu tilted his head. Ash grabbed his old hat and dusted it off. He put it on backwards
and grinned at Pikachu. Pikachu struck a fighting pose. Ash nodded.
It was 4:00; Ash and Pikachu were below deck, waiting on Team Rocket. They
appeared and Meowth grinned. "Ah, the twerp came to save his girlfriend." Jesse
grinned. "Wise choice." Ash picked Pikachu up. "Be good Pikachu......"
Mwahahahaha (evil laughter)! Yet another chapter done. The next one will filled with
action and romance. I think I thought this one was pretty good. Do you agree? Send feedback,
