Misty the Pikachu

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day over Cerulean city, pidges flew above in the bright blue sky, as the summer breeze blew through the city. In the heart of the city, sat the Cerulean gym, which was one of the most powerful in the region of Kanto. This was all thanks to the very gym leader, who was currently in charge of running it.

Her name - Misty Waterflower, ever since she stopped travelling with her friends Ash and Brock, she took over it, from her sisters and earned the gym a lot of respect. She's barley lost any battles, which she was proud of.

On this day, Misty had just finished the last battle of the afternoon, which she won of course, she was extremely glad that the day was at an end and she and her Pokemon could relax a little.

Misty had just realised all her Pokémon to give them a break, she feed them Brocks specially made pokemon food and she sat down for a moment and dipped her feet in the water of the pool. "Ahhh, what a day? There were some tough trainers, but we still managed to beat them," Misty said with a pleased smile as she watched her pokemon swim.

As usual her psyduck ended up falling in the pool and her starmie ended up saving it, Misty shook her head as the duck ran to her, "oh, psyduck, I really got to teach you how to swim," Misty said patting his head.

"Psy…" The duck quacked.

Suddenly the sound the gyms telephone blared through the building, "hmm," Misty murmured as she stood up, "okay enjoy you're break guys, I'll be back in a few moments." She said walking off into the lobby of the gym. She picked up the video call.

"Helllooo, Cerulean gym, Misty speaking." Misty greeted not really sure who was calling.

"Hmm….ohhhh hellooo there Misty good to see you," It was Professor Oak.

"Oh, hey professor it's great to hear from you too." Misty replied surprised to hear from the professor.

"Misty, I'm terribly sorry for troubling you with this, but all my assistants are out on a field experiment thing, and Tracey is away on a personal errand or I would have asked him to do this for me, but you're my only option now and since you live closer….." The professor let out a sigh while rubbing his head. He suddenly yelped as a pokemon let out a water attack in the lab.

"Ahhhh…..I told you guys no fighting in the labbbbb!" He yelled as he ducked slightly.

"Bulba!" Came the sound of bulabsaur, the one that belonged to Ash.

The Professor sighed in relief as he watched the grass pokemon guide the pokemon out of the lab, with a hand on his chest the professor stood up and pet the grass pokemon on the head as he came and joined them at the phone. "Thank you Bulbasaur." Oak smiled as he jumped up on the counter.

"Wow Professor, you sound like you have you're hands full over there," Misty said sweat dropped having seen the scene before.

Professor Oak rubbed his head, "you have no idea, this lab has been a riot today, I don't know what's got the Pokemon so upset. I'm still glad that Ash left his Bulbasaur here with me, he a great helper and peace maker." Oak said smiling down at the pokemon.

"Hey bulbasaur its great to see you again," Misty said greeting the grass pokemon.

"Bulabsaur nodded in return "saurrrrr!"

"But back to the matter at hand, Misty I'm so sorry to ask this of you, but since you live closer, I was wondering if you'd pick something up for me? It's a package from my friend Bill the pokemon fanatic, you remember him, don't you?"

Misty's eyes widened "oh, yes I remember him, don't worry Professor, I don't mind doing this, It'll be great to get outta the gym for a little bit."

"Are you sure? I know I'm putting you out, when you've got such a busy gym to run. I'd go myself but as you seen, I don't want to leave the lab unattended as the place will probably not be there when I come back," He chuckled slightly.

"Of course not, I've got my attendants here, they can mind the gym while I'm gone, it won't be too long." Misty said with a reassuring tone and a nod of her head.

Professor Oak sighed in relief, "I can't thank you enough for this, you're really helping me out."

"Not a problem, professor.. I should be at the lab by tomorrow if I take my bike." Misty said and smiled happy she was going out on a little adventure.

"Be careful….." Professor started but stopped when some pokemon stared fighting inside again, "ahhhh, stop that…DON'T TOUCH THAT!" The Professor yelled as he jumped away from the screen, he quickly popped his head back round, "thanks again, Misty….Ahhhh…..Good luck!" He yelled then the screen disconnected.

Misty eyes widened at the scene, but she chuckled slightly with a shake of her head, and she grinned, "guess I better get going, gotta pick some pokemon to take with me.." Misty said as she grabbed her bag and returned her pokemon along with picking up some of her Pokemon only with some essentials that she would need such as potions, food and her sleeping bag.

The red head informed her attendant of her absent and they happy to watch the gym for a little bit. She got her bike ready and set out on the path that would take her to Bill's house.
