Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.

A/N: Okay, I have decided that I'm going to post up everything I have typed. This is mainly because my PC has been on the fritz and I figure, if it's already on fanfiction then if I end up losing my files or getting a new computer, I can just get them from fanfiction. So, some of these I won't be updating in awhile, just a warning.

The phone rang incessantly and it was starting to annoy Misty that her sisters seemed to have no problem letting it ring off the hook. Misty sighed and stomped over to the phone.

"Hello, Cerulaun City Gym, how may I help you?" Misty asked attempting to hide her annoyance at having to get up.

"Hey Misty! Is that you?" a voice she recognized as Brock answered. It had been about eight years since she had been on her journey with Ash and Brock, she was twenty now. Ash had of course finished his journey in Sinnoh, but had been hanging out their with Brock, Paul, and Dawn.

"Hey Brock! What's up?" Misty asked leaning her elbows against the counter.

"Hey, Ash's birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you'd come out to Sinnoh, we're going to have a party for him." Brock said.

"Sure, I think my sisters can take care of the gym for a few days." Misty replied, and this caused her sisters to look up from their magazine, TV, or toes.

"Good, Ash and Dawn will be happy to see you and I will too." Brock told her.

"Okay, bye Brock." Misty ended.

"See ya." Brock goodbyed and the line went dead.

"Why do we have to take care of the gym ourselves?" Lily asked.

"Ash's birthday party." Misty told them.

"Oh! Will you get with him?" Daisy asked excitedly, her sisters were dying for Misty to get a boyfriend. She'd had a few relationships the past years, but nothing serious.

"No! I consider him a little brother." Misty laughed, rolling her eyes. It was true Ash was like an annoying little brother to her, even though they were the same ages.

"What about the guy on the phone? Brock?" Daisy asked. Misty rolled her eyes again.

"I consider him a brother too." Misty told them. Yes, except he was like a mature older brother.....except when he got near girls, than she could play the older sister role for once.

"Misty!" Violet whined, "We want you to get a boyfriend so you can be happy!" she continued.

"Stop it, I'm perfectly happy without a guy in my life." Misty objected. All her sisters rolled their eyes. It was mostly true, but she did feel a bit lonely when her sisters were all out on dates. She couldn't ever compare to her sisters, she wouldn't be sexy or beautiful or charming like them. She was the tomboy, the geeky little sister. Before she got too caught up in her thoughts she looked to her sisters.

"There has to be a guy you at least like a little bit!" Lily whined. Before she could stop it an image of a spiky haired brunette with blue eyes came into her mind. She pushed the thought away, disgusted with herself for thinking of....Gary Oak, arrogant, self centered, ego-filled jerk!

"No." Misty answered, "I need to get some stuff together for the trip." she added, hoping to get away from her sisters' prying. Her sisters rolled their eyes, but went back to what they were doing. Misty went upstairs and packed a medium sized bag, enough for five days. Misty also changed into an orange and white halter top with white shorts, orange flip flops and white sunglasses that were on the top of her head in case she needed them. She went back downstairs and wasn't surprised to see her sisters hadn't budged an inch.

"I'm headed to Sinnoh now." Misty called to them. They all jumped up and came to give her a hug.

"Going to take the ferry?" Violet asked.

"Yeah, it's the quickest Sinnoh." Misty explained. After sharing goodbyes with her sisters, Misty quickly made her way to the harbor.

"Hello, May I have one ticket to Sinnoh?" Misty asked politely to the man at the cash register. The man looked flustered about the fact he was talking to the legendary Misty Waterflower, leader of one of the toughest gyms in Kanto.

"Make it two." a voice demanded, coming up behind Misty, making Misty spin around. There, in all his glory, was the bachelor every girl was after, Gary Oak. He had gotten famous for become one of the youngest professors, and always deciding to study Pokemon in their natural habitat, not the lab, so he was traveling alot. He also was known as one of the hottest and most available professors. Misty could see why, his hair was still the same, if not a shade darker or two, and he was about a head taller than her, through his thin shirt you could see the outline of ab muscles. His shirt was dark blue and he was wearing khaki capris with brown sandals.

"Here, let me buy you a ticket to Sinnoh." Gary offered, and before Misty had a chance to object, Gary handed a silver credit card to the man behind the counter who scanned it before handing two tickets to Gary. Gary handed her one.

"Gary Oak." Gary introduced himself, smirking. Misty's mouth dropped open a bit from shock, but she shut it quickly, smirking back at him. She didn't realized she had changed that much, sure, she got a little taller and now wore her hair out to her waist, but that really was the only difference. He handed her the ticket which she took and they moved away from the ticket booth. The ferry would arrive in about ten minutes. Gary leaned against the rail of the dock.

"You're a 9.999. You'd be a perfect 10 if you were with me." Gary smiled cockily, fully expecting her to giggle and than flirt back. Misty just raised her eyebrows and then laughed.

"Are you flirting with me?" she inquired, after she had stopped laughing.

"Yes, unless you would like to skip that part." Gary smirked, winking.

"You really don't recognize me do you? You expect me to fall all over you, not gonna happen Oak." Misty scoffed.

"I know you?" Gary chuckled, "I'm sorry, I usually don't recognize my cheerleaders." he baited. Misty's eyes narrowed and her mouth dropped open with disgust. Gary took one look at her now fiery green eyes and his own eyes widened with recognition.

"Shit! Misty! Don't kill me!" Gary yelped, jumping up and putting his hands between himself and Misty. Misty glared at him.

"You look...really really different." Gary remarked, cautiously putting his hands down. Misty looked at him questionably, eyes still narrowed. He better say the right thing.

"You look...hot. Seriously! You have curves and hair and....and you're a girl!" Gary exclaimed, his eyes scanning over Misty appreciatively. Misty slapped the back of his head. Before she could comment on his choice of words, the horn of the ferry was called. Gary held back a sigh of relief, he knew a mad Misty was an evil one. Saved by the horn.

"Come on." he said quickly before she could get any madder at him, practically running to get on to the ferry. Misty sighed, pulling her glasses off her forehead and over her eyes before following him on to the ferry. She handed her ticket and bag away and found Gary quite easily.

"I'm going to guess that you're going to Sinnoh for Ash's twenty first birthday?" Misty asked, catching up and walking beside him.

"Than you would guess correct." Gary replied, "Come on." Gary pulled her over to a table and plopped down across from her.

"I heard about you, Miss Super Tough Gym Leader." Gary teased.

"Same, Mr. Ego-filled Youngest Researcher." Misty told him back.

"And you forgot hottest." Gary smirked.

"Ah, and there is that ego rearing it's ugly head." Misty pointed out.

"But, you're not denying it." Gary's smirk widened. Misty shook her head, standing up, and Gary stood up with her.

"Last time I checked, you were the one who was coming on to me." Misty retorted. The boat lurched forward and Misty went flying, Gary caught her waist before she hit the ground, she was shocked and touched by the worried emotion in Gary's eye.

"Are you okay?" he asked, huskily, he was still holding her in a a dip, which made her blush brightly.

"F-fine..." Misty squeaked, Gary leaned in some, his lips almost touched hers and Misty did nothing to stop, it was as if she was in a trance.

"Hey! Are you Misty Waterflower?" some little boy ran up to Misty and both she and Gary blushed, Gary pulling her out of the dip while doing so, he pushed away from her slightly. Misty turned to the little boy and now she saw, little girl too. They looked like they were five year old twins and the boy had dirty blond hair while the girl had fair blond hair, both had the same bright blue eyes. The little girl was wearing a purple tank top with matching flip flops and black shorts, while the little boy was wearing a green t-shirt with black shorts and leather sandals.

"Yes, I am, and who are you two?" she asked nicely, she was use to fans of all ages. Misty crouched down and sat on her knees in front of Alex.

"I'm Alex and when I grow up I wanna be the bestest water Pokemon trainer ever!" Alex enthused, obviously excited to be seeing Misty on the ship.

"Your Gary Oak! I'm Amy and I'm gonna grow up to be an even better researcher than you!" the little girl exclaimed. Gary smiled slightly, shocking Misty who fully expected him to make some comment like, 'You only wish you could be that good'. A young woman ran up to the two, she looked to be only about twenty.

"Alex! Amy! You two scared me!" the woman scolded.

"Sorry Sharona." Alex and Amy exclaimed still looking at Misty and Gary in awe. Sharona then noticed Misty and Gary.

"Oh, hello, I'm Sharona, Alex and Amy's foster mother." she introduced, holding a hand out.

"Gary Oak." Gary introduced himself, shaking her hand.

"Misty Waterflower and may I say it's great you adopted these two." Misty stood up and brushed herself off, taking Sharona's hand after Gary.

"Oh, I didn't adopt them, I just house them until they find someone who they accept to be their parents." Sharona explained.

"Yeah, we like Sharona, but we want the perfect parents!" Amy exclaimed.

"Someone who won't separate us." Alex added. "Can we see your Pokemon?" he asked excitedly.

"Alex, you can't jus-" Sharona started.

"No, no! It's fine, I only have Dewgong, Politoed, and Azurill with me at the moment though." Misty said, releasing the before mentioned Pokemon as she said their names.

"I have Blastoise, Umbereon, Dodrio, and Arcanine with me." Gary said, he too releasing them as he said their names.

"Woah! They're so cool!" Amy gasped, running a hand down Arcanine's side.

"And cute!" she squealed as soon as she saw Azurill, running to pet the Pokemon.

"Awesome...." Alex said, staring wide eyed at the Pokemon in front of him. The skies were getting cloudy but no one seemed to notice. They talked with Sharona, Amy, and Alex for a while longer, and than a large crack of thunder was heard and rain started to downpour.

"Woah! We better get inside." Gary advised. He and Misty returned the Pokemon and put their pokeballs safely away. Gary pushed Misty and Amy forward some. Sharona led the group forward and the wind picked up, knocking some of the chairs and tables around. A table came flying at Misty, Gary, Alex, and Amy, knocking them off the side of the deck and into the water.

"Oh my god! Someone help!" Sharona screamed. Gary grabbed Amy, helping her keep afloat, Misty doing the same for Alex. A few other people had seen the four go flying and were making their way over. The waves were rough and getting rougher. The table that had knocked them all of the deck got carried in one of the waves and knocked into Misty and Alex's heads. They slowly started to sink, Misty's arms still locked around Alex.

"Alex!" Amy cried, squirmed out of Gary's grasp and was trying to swim over to him, but was pulled down by a wave. Gary dove under and managed to grab Amy, but everything was dark and he couldn't tell which way was up, neither could Amy, but she saw the form of Misty and her brother and latched onto them, pulling Gary with her. They both ran out of air shortly after that.

_________________________________ON DECK_____________________________________________

Sharona screamed, "No! Alex! Amy! Gary! Misty!" The people knew it was hopeless and that the four weren't coming back up out of the water and dragged the screaming and crying Sharona away and into the safety of the cabin. A news report was filed as soon as the boat landed in Sinnoh.

~~~~~~Misty's sisters~~~~~~

"Oh my god!" Lily cried, " Come here!" she yelled to her sisters who rushed into the room.

"A ferry ship to Sinnoh got caught in the large storm earlier today and everyone was saddened that four passengers fell off the deck and into the water, not coming out of the water. The four have been identified as researcher Gary Oak, Amy and Alex Sanchez, and gym leader Misty Waterflower. Bodies are yet to be found." the news reporter said solemnly.

"No!" Daisy cried, latching onto her sisters.

"T-there's still hope that they could be alive." Violet pointed out.

"Yeah! Misty wouldn't let some storm k-k...." Lily trailed off. They cried quietly.

~~~~~~Professer Oak~~~~~

Professer Oak watched the news report silently. "Gary....." he uttered and the other researchers and assistants came up and rubbed his back. Some of them were crying silently and the Professer was silent, a few tears trickling down his face.

~~~~~~Brock, Ash, Dawn, and Paul~~~~

"Oh my god.....NO!" Dawn cried, putting her head in her hands, tears streaming out of her eyes. Brock was silent, shocked, he didn't want to believe it. Ash was sniffling, shaking his head.

"That's horrible..." Paul muttered, he wasn't crying, but you could tell how sad he was.

~~~~~~May, Drew, Solidad, and Harley~~~~

"Oh, poor honeys!" Harley shook his head, he and Solidad didn't realize May and Drew knew two of the people.

"That's a shame, don't you think?" Solidad asked.

"A shame......Misty! Gary!" May cried, Drew wrapped his arms around her silently and May cried into his shirt. Drew had wide eyes and they were filled with tears. Solidad and Harley looked at them shocked.

"You knew two of them?" Harley asked. Drew nodded mutely.

"Misty was one of my best friends!" May cried again.

"Gary was a friend." Drew nodded.

~~~~~~~~Everyone~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All of the before mentioned people had met up. "I say we look for them, rent a boat and search for them, I know I am, not until their b-bodies are found am I giving up hope!" Lily cried.

"My parents own a boat." Drew said.

"Then let's do it!" Ash exclaimed, slightly happier at the chance he might find his friends. Everyone agreed and plans were made. Some of the researchers form Gary's lab were coming, along with Professer Oak, Ash, Brock, May, Drew, Dawn, Paul, Harley, Solidad, Sharona, two reporters and a camera man, a few island experts, and of course the crew of the ship.
