Ash darted through the woods with Pikachu right behind. He could barely
hear the battles going on in the town he had just left, but Ash didn't
care. He trusted the Digi-Destined... no... not Digi-Destined. Ash trusted
his friends would be victorious.
Suddenly Ash ran out onto a large field. On the other end was a huge mansion. Puppeton's mansion. Then Misty's image appeared infront of Ash.
ASH INTRODUCING TITLE: Friend And Foe Alike!
ASH: (surprised) MISTY!
PIKACHU: PikachuPi! (Misty!)
MISTY: Plase hurry....
ASH: What is it? Whats wrong?
MISTY: Piedmon and Metalseadramon left. I'm alone with Puppetmon and I think he's planning to...
ASH: (cutting Misty off) NO! Don't worry Misty. We're almost there.
PIKACHU: Pikachu Pi Pi Chu Pika Pika! Pi Pika Pi Pikachu Chu Pika.!(We'll layeth the smacketh down on Puppetmon's candy ass! If you smell what the Pikachu is cooking!)
Misty and Ash looked at Pikachu in surprise as it lifted one of its eyebrows.
ASH: Riiiight. Lets go Pikachu!
MISTY: (fading out) Good Luck...
Ash and Pikachu ran to the door. They cautiously opned it. Ash jumped back as several large daggers shot out and barely missed.
ASH: This whole place is probably booby trapped. W're gonna have to be careful.
PIKACHU: Chu. (Duh.)
ASH: (throwing pokeball) Heracross! I choose you!
Heracross poppd out in all its glory and lookd at Ash.
ASH: Pikachu, ride Heracross so you dont fall into any traps.
Pikachu nodded and got on. They then went into the house. Ash lookd around and saw hundreds of doors. Misty could be in anyone of them. Ash stard and cursed. Pikachu and Heracross suddenly shot off and zoomed by ach door. Ash stared at them in confusion, then realized they were both sniffing. Both knew Misty's smell by heart, and were looking.
After a minute they stopped in front of a large door. Ash quickly ran up to them and looked at the door.
ASH: Your sure Misty's in here?
HERACROSS: Hera! Heracross Hera Heracro! (Yep! She's definitly in here!)
ASH: Then what are we doing out here?
Ash kicked open the door and charged in. To his surprie he was on some ort of balcony. Down below was Misty and Puppetmon.
PUPPETMON: Okay whore. Time to get down to buissness. Get on your knees and suck my....
ASH: (cutting in) NO! PIKACHU! HERACROSS! GO!
Puppetmons head snapped up in surprise at hearing Ash. He only managed to get out a quick yelp of surprise as Heracross tackled him away from Misty. Pikachu rammed into Misty and knocked her back.
Ash quickly leapt over the balcont and landed hard. He ignored the pain and ran over to Misty. H hugged her tightly, but she threw him off and backed away. She then went into a fighting stance.
Ash glanced over and saw Heracross get thrown off Puppetmon. The bug Pokemon quickly flew back to Ash.
PUPPETMON: So Ketchum, we meet again.
ASH: (angrily) But this time your mine.
PUPPETMON: Oh really? I doubt that. You'll have to go through your girlfriend first!
ASH: SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! Wait... what do you mean?
PUPPETMON: Misty, kill them.
Misty charged forward. She started swining her fist, but the Pokemon easily dodged. Ash wasn't so fast. H took thre hots to the head and two to th stomach. Ash backd away from her and looked to the Pokemon.
ASH: (in pain) HERACROSS! GO AFTER PUPPETMON! PIKACHU, STAY AND USE THE PLAN!
Heracross shot for the evil Digimon while Ash and Misty fought. Ash refused to hit Misty, but she had no problem attacking him. Mity repatedly punched Ash in the chest and hit his head with a few spinning wheel kicks. Before long Ash was bleeding from his nose and mouth.
ASH: Misty, please listen! It's me! Ash! Mr. Pokemon Master!
Misty hesitated hearing the knickname she had given Ash, but the attacks were on again quickly. She tackled Ash to the ground and repeatedly struck his face. Ash yelled in pain, but managed to flip Misty off. He was quickly on top of her with a strong hold. SHe struggld and yelled in frustration, but couldn't break free.
ASH: Misty, I know its tough but fight it. Cant you remembr me? Or Brock? Or Togepi?
Misty stopped fighting at the mention of her baby Pokemon
ASH: Rememer when Togepi got lost and was found by Houndoom? Remember how surprised we were when we found out what happened.
MISTY: (quitly) Ash....
ASH: Yeah Misty. Its me. Fight the chip Misty. I know you better thn anyone ever has or ever will, and I know you can do it!
Misty shook or a fw seconds, but the Slave Chip was to powerful. SH started kicking and screaming again. Ash looked over at Pikachu and saw to whit flickering orbs above its electric pouches. Ash smiled.
ASH: Pikachu, please tell me you ready!
PIKACHU: Pi Pika Pikachu! Pika Pikachu Pi PikachuPi! (Oh hell yeah! Just get away from Misty!)
ASH: No! Use it!
Pikachu hesitated for a second but let it go. H was enveloped in a large white ball of energy. The ball grew and grew. In seconds it touched Ash and Misty. Both screamed in pain as th power flowed through them. After ten seconds it ended. Ash slowly got up, and smiled. He lifted Misty's head and pulled off the charred black chip.
ASH: It worked Pikachu!
PIKACHU: Pika! Pika Pikachu Pika Pi Chu! (Hooray! Now lets get Puppetmon!)
Ash nodded and turned to Puppetmon just in time to see Heracross use Endure. Puppetmon punched Heracross in the head, and the Pokemon fell to the ground, seemingly unconsious. Puppetmon quickly pulled out his Magnum and pointed it at Ash.
PUPPETMON: One down, two to go. (noticing Misty) What did you do to my slave?
ASH: (nastily) Sh's not your slave. She's Misty Waterflower of Cerulan City.
PUPPETMON: (pointing gun at Ash's head) Tell me or you both die.
ASH: Big deal. You'll kill us either way.
PUPPETMON: Tell me and I may let your electric rat live.
Ash hsitatd and glancd at Pikachu. He then looked back at Puppetmon.
ASH: Pikachu built up its electricity until it became magnitized.
Puppetmon nodded in understandment.
PUPPETMON: And creatd an electromagnetic pulse that destroyed my circuit. Clever. Very clever.
ASH: (shrugging) Yeah, I thought so.
PUPPETMON: (pointing gun) Now you die.
Suddenly Heracross shot off the ground. It slammed its horn into Puppetmon's gun just as th triggr was being pulled.. The force twistd the gun so it was pointed at Puppetmon's head.. The gun boomed once and Puppetmon's head exploded. Hunks of wood and brain spattred against the wall and slowly oozed down, leaving a trail of gore. The hadless body then exploded into bits of data.
ASH: (happily) WE BEAT HIM!
PIKACHU: PIKACHUPI! (MISTY!)
Ashs eyes widened and he ran over to her. He gasped seeing Misty wan't breathing, and had no pulse.
ASH: (horrified) NO! MISTY!
*SONG AND FLASHBACK TIME!!*
I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
Do anything...for you
*Flashback*
Misty stood fishing on the edge of Viridian River. Suddenly her line started moving.
MISTY: OH! I got a bite!
She pulled harder and out of the river came Ash and Pikachu. They landed hard and Misty quickly ran over.
MISTY: Oh its just a kid... and a Pokemon!
Ash opened his eyes and lookd up at the girl who just fihed him out.
MISTY: Are you okay?
ASH: (with a slight smile) Yeah, I'm okay.
MISTY: (angry) Not you! Your Pokemon!
*End Flashback*
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
*Flashback*
RUDY: Misty, I know you already made your desicion, but theese are for you.
MISTY: (taking roses and blushing) I... Thank you Rudy.
RUDY: Your a vey lucky man Ash.
ASH: Huh?
*End Flashback*
You're the part of my life I'll always remember!
The time has come...
It's for the best, I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I
Somehow, someday
We'd have to say goodbye
*Flashback*
ASH: (floating above body with Haunter) I guess its time to go back.
PIKACHU: Pika.
The two floated down and into theirodies. Ash opened his eyes with a moan.
ASH: Misty..
MISTY: (happily) YOUR ALIVE!
*End Flashback*
You've helped me find
The strength inside
And the courage
To make my dreams come true
How will I find another friend,
Like you?
*Flashback*
RUDY: Dance yourself into a thunderbolt attack Starmie!
Starmie twistd faster and faster. Suddenly it shot out a powerful thundrbolt. Squirtle caught it dead on and growled in pain.
TRACEY: This looks bad Misty. Squirtle's really weak against electric attacks...
Misty stared for a few seconds.
MISTY: COME ON ASH! YOU CAN BEAT HIM!
*End Flashback*
Two of a kind
That's what we are
And it seems
Like we were always winning
*Flashback*
MISTY: I want you to know Ash, theres no hard felings about you winning Totodile.
ASH: (surprised) Theres not?
MISTY: Nope. Why would I want a Totodile who doed what it wants when I got a brand new Poliwhirl who evolved just for me?
*End Flashback*
But as our team is torn apart,
I wish we could go back to the beginning!
*Flashback*
Matt and Tai nod in a sad and angry acceptance of Misty's choice, but Ash, despite the pain, ran over and hugged her. Misty was surprised but hugged back.
MISTY: Ash, please don't be upset. Don't worry about me. I'll get back to you guys. I promise I will.
Ash started to cry. Metalseadramon ripped Ash away from Misty and threw him against a wall.
*End Flashback*
The time has come...
It's for the best, I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I
Somehow, someway
We'd have to say goodbye
Somehow, today... we have to say... goodbye.
*END SONG AND FLASHBACK MODE*
ASH: (crying) Misty.....
Ash stared at the limp form of his best friend. He hesitatd a second, but then started giving Misty CPR. He tried, but nothing happened. Ash cried in a mixture of frustration and sadness.
ASH: (crying and yelling) Wake up you scrawny runt!
Ash then punched Misty in the stomach. Th next thing he knew, he was on the oppisite side of the room with a a big lump on hi had. Ash lookd over and saw an enraged Misty standing up holding the Mallet.
MISTY: (pissed off to the extreme) WHO YOU CALLING A SCRAWNY RUNT?!?! AND YOU HIT ME! YOUR DEAD MEAT ASH KETCHUM!!!!
Misty chargd with mallet swinging, but stopped when she noticed Ash smiling and saw the tears in his eyes. She then saw the blood and bruises on his face.
MISTY: (shocked and concernd) Ash! What happened?
ASH: (surprised) You dont remember?
MISTY: No. The last thing I remember is trading places with you for the Dark Masters.
ASH: I'll tell you on the way back to the others. Lets get out of here.
Ash recalld Heracross, and him, Misty, and Pikachu left.the mansion. Ash told Misty most of what happened. He left out the parts about what almost happnd. Just as Ash inished the story, they wer at the Deramon village. The Digi-Destined cherd happily seeing the two back. Misty was quickly taken to the hospital to get her injuris fixed. Ash declined and walked away from the group.
*TWELVE HOURS LATER*
Ash sat at the edge of th cliff and lookd at th sunset. It was one of the bst he had ever seen. This was perfect because it gave him peace and quiet to think about how close he came to losing Misty. He sat there deep in thought for twenty minutes before haring someone approaching. Ash glanced back and saw Misty.
ASH: Hey Mist.
MISTY: Hey Ash. Mind if I sit down?
Ash scooted over and Misty sat next to him. The two stared at the sunset in silnce for a little bit.
ASH: Remember anything yet?
MISTY: (shaking head) No, and the Deramon are saying I probably never will remember.
ASH: Oh...
The two sat in silence for a little longer.
MISTY: Quit a day today.
ASH: (joking) Thats the understatement of the year.
MISTY: (hesitantly) Yeah... Ash... I wanted to thank you. For coming and saving me.
ASH: It was no biggie.
MISTY: Yes it was. That was one of the nicest things anyones ever done for me.
Misty then kissed Ash on the chek. His eyes widened in surprise, but he didnt yell in disgust or anything. Misty smiled hoping Ash would catch on,
MISTY: (thinking) OH MY GOD! I JUST KISSED ASH! WONDER WHAT HE'S THINKING OR GONNA SAY.
Misty studied his face looking for any reaction besides blush, but being the dense brick he is, Ash didn't put two and two together. He assumed she did that to show thanks, which was partly true
ASH: (blushing) Was it really?
Misty's jaw dropped. Ash was still in the conversation, and didn't comment on the kiss.
MISTY: (mix of shock and frustration) Really Really. Ash... I'm really sorry about beating you down.
ASH: (blushing starting to fade) Lets not go into that. You weren't in control of yourself.
MISTY: But I still feel guilty...
ASH: Misty, you should know by now I'll forgive you for anything you ever do.
Ash stopped for a second and thought.
ASH: Even if you stuck two angry squirells down my pants and had people place bets.
Misty stard at Ash for a second and started to laugh. Ash soon joined hr. The two laughed for a few minutess before calming down.
MISTY: (wiping away tears of laughter) Thanks Ash. I needed a laugh.
ASH: No problem.
MISTY: Thats what I like about you Ash. You know me bettr then any person ever has, or ever will.
Ash's eyes widened in surprise on recognizing those words, but didn't say anything. He smiled at Misty and she smiled back. The two then watched and enjoyed the sunset.
NARATOR: With Misty back, the group is again whole and the friendship between Ash and Misty is even stronger. But will that be able to help them defeat the last two Dark Masters?
Suddenly Ash ran out onto a large field. On the other end was a huge mansion. Puppeton's mansion. Then Misty's image appeared infront of Ash.
