So, I pretty much haven't watched pokemon in YEARS. I've always preferred the original series though I am fond of a couple of the newer pokemon of the a couple of the older ones. I guess it was more I like the old group. And, that Misty was my favorite. Though, I didn't mind May too much and I haven't caught and episode with Dawn. But, I'll get too it.
Disclaimer: Only pokemon thing I own is a good amount of collector cards. Though, the young girl in this story could technically be called mine.
Please enjoy
Ash walked into the front entrance of the giant building. He hadn't been there in years. He stood there for a couple seconds, reminiscing. It had definitely been an… odd… adventure to get this badge. Not a thing about the gym leaders fiery little attitude had left him, not even after all these year.
"Welcome to the Cerulean City gym," a very young female voice called out. "Prepare to fight."
"But, I've already gotten this badge," Ash answered rather confused, looking around trying to find who was talking. His eyes rested on a young girl, no more than the age of four, with short choppy red hair pulled into pig tails, looking much like Misty's single ponytail had. The young girl was even standing very similar to how Misty had challenged him years before, with one finger pointed straight at him, legs spread, and a look of determination on her face. Ash stared at her for a couple minutes, "You're kidding right."
The young girl fell to the ground anime style before jumping back up, "No, I am not kidding, now prepare to fight."
"But, you're only, like, three…" he pointed at her with a confused expression.
"I am four and a half, thank you very much," she crossed her arms and stood straight, turning he nose into the away from him.
A light laugh was heard from the back of the gym, "Serenity, what have I told you about tricking our guests."
"To not to, Mommy," the young girl replied sadly before turned and running into her mother's arms.
"M-Misty?" Ash mumble out. She looked nothing like she had use to. She'd definitely grown over that last five years. Her hair fell to her mid-back, resembling how it looked when she did the water balet years ago. Her face had matured from it's girly features to womanly ones. Her eyes, however, remained the same. The beautiful bright blue-grean. She no longer wore those slightly tom-boyish clothes. She now wore a long blue skirt that floated around her ankles, a white tank top, and matching white flipflops.
She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, "Hello Ash. Serenity, say hello to Mommy's friend Ash."
Serenity gave her mother a slightly confused glance before turning to Ash, "Hello, Ash. Very nice to meet you."
"Oh, well, Hello Serenity. Nice to meet you too," he replied shaking the young girl's hand before she bounded off across the gym.
"So," Misty started, "I haven't seen you in quite sometime. Last I heard, you ended you travels in the Sinnoh region. But, that was a year and a half ago."
"I," Ash scratched the back of his neck, "I thought it'd be nice to travel, ya know, backwards through all the regions I've been through. And, meet up with old faces."
Misty smiled, "And, how were they all?"
"Oh, really good. And, how have you been lately?" he asked, feeling a little awkward standing basicly across the gym from her, holding a conversation.
"Well," she answered simply. Before turning towards one of doors, "Would you like something to drink. I believe we'd be much more comfortable sitting down and talking."
"Uh, sure," he answered and Pikachu popped up from behind his shoulder throwing in his own 'Pika-pi!'
"Oh, there you are, Pikachu. I was wondering where you got off to," Misty smiled as Ash approached her and petted Pikachu lovingly on the head.
"Why don't you go play with Serenity, Pikachu?" Ash asked his long-time closest friend.
"Chu!" Pikachua nodded before jumping off Ash's shoulder and running up to the little girl and they busied themselves chasing each other around the gym.
"Have a seat, Ash," Misty motioned to a coach and two chairs that had been set against the wall of the gym. "I'll be back in a minute with something for you and Pikachu."
Ash sat down as he watched Pikachu and Serenity run across the gym floor. So, Misty had this daughter. Who seemed to be like her in most everyway. Of course, there is one thing that sets them apart…
"I see the she has better manners when meeting new people than her mother does," Ash teased as Misty returned with the drinks and food, and laid them on the small coffee table in the center of the couch and chairs.
"Like you have much room to talk, Ash Ketchum!" she yelled and crossed her arms.
Ash couldn't help but laugh, "There's that fiery attitude that I'm so use to. I was a little worried that it wasn't there anymore."
Misty gave a small, almost sad, smile, "A lot has changed since the last time we met, Ash." She responded, also looking across at her young daughter.
"Yeah, I guess it has." Ash followed her gaze. He stopped and looked at her, "Ya know, a lot happened between us before you left."
Misty turned her attention back to him, looking him in the eyes, "Yeah, I know."
So, it was short and to the point. Just a started. Tell me if I should finish. Other charactors will be re-introduced through-out this as well. Plus, what's behind this young girl called Serenity? Hint: next up, a very origanal reunion. But, ya gotta review for the update. Flames and all.
