A/N: Wow, I'm on fire, aren't I? Hell yes. I'm bored at my dad's house, so I write. Anywhoodles, I had this idea since last night. Like a whole complete story. This is just the pokeshipping tidbit from it. But yeah, I had the whole, like 30 chapter complete story in my head. More info will be at the bottom!

Disclaimer: Yeah, I hardly see why I need to do this. If you think a 14 year old girl could actually own, or even be a part of the pokemon company, well then….. you're obviously very, very confused.

I was watching the destruction from the rubble I was partly under. It wasn't crushing me, no, I just couldn't get up. It feels as though all hope's lost as I watch the madman attack the temple. More rubble falls. More dust puffs out from the debris. I turn my head to my right, looking at my friends May and Dawn. Dawn is crying, complaining about how we couldn't do anything, and May is just laying there, a distant look in her eyes. Probably wondering where her love, Drew was. I refuse to give up, though. Gary, Brock, Drew and Misty are still there. They can still win…..

….If they haven't already been taken down. I hear footsteps in front up me, crunching the gravel underfoot, and crane my neck up. The man who caused all of this to happen was leaning dow to my level to look me in the eyes. He had a sinister look in his steely gray eyes. They were twinkling with amusement, and insanity.

"Enjoying the show?" he asked, as if he was trying to hold back laughter. I hated him. I felt fury rise up in me. I glared my most menacing glare I could muster, and stared him down. It wasn't much, but it showed that I wouldn't- couldn't- give up. He was enjoying out pain. He was enjoying the Togepis',Togetic's and Togekiss' demolition. He was grinning. How could he? How could he enjoy this? How could he do this?

"Now now, I wouldn't glare at me that way, if you can't back up what your actions, young one." He said, giving me a swift kick to the ribs. I felt something break-it was probably already weak before- and I felt the bruise grown. Tears stung my eyes. I could feel my hope draining away as I looked at the dried blood on my friends and the ground, the debris, the… the dead pokemon. A few tears streamed down my face.

"Yes, give up hope. Nothing can save you, your friends, or this place anymore. It would do you no good to believe in your silly dreams. How could you save Mirage Island?" I saw him take out a pokeball from the belt around his waist. He had six. I gulped. I looked around desperately for something to save us. I saw Dawn and May, who were steadily weeping. Their tears were in a pool around them. I didn't even have Pikachu; I sent him away, not wanting him to get hurt after he tried to battle and failed. The man released the pokemon. It was huge. It had deep purple/black eyes, and shadow was surrounding it. It was a Dark Dragonite. He was controlling it. With a nonchalant flick of his hand, the man ordered the beast to 'get rid of us', like we were simple rats. I heard the beast roar and saw it flying towards us. May and Dawn screamed while I just closed my eyes.

Instead of the impact and death I thought was inevitable, I heard the fierce yell of 'Gyrados! Flamethrower, now!' My eyes snapped open. No, it couldn't be her. We had gotten separated from er in the heat of things. We thought she was dead, for sure. I could tell May and Dawn were thinking the same things, because I heard the whisper of 'what? How? Misty?' I was frantically searching everywhere for her. My eyes stopped on Dragonite, who seemed to have taken damage from the surprise attack. He was looking for the source also, as was his now scowling master.

"Who did that?" the man growled in fury.

"I did." I heard her answer. The smoke cleared, and there she was. Her skin had smudges all over, her clothes were torn and dirty, and her hair had turned a brownish-orange color, but it was her. She was safe. And she was back in action.

Misty is safe… Misty is here…. She's okay…. Those were the only thoughts running through my mind.

"Well, see if you can take this!" The man yelled in rage. A Luxray, Arcanine, Zoroark, Ninetails, and Venasaur presented themselves along with Dragonite, all eyes deep purple, shadow encircling them all. She called out her own pokemon. I had only seen Gyrados and Azumarril in action. I wondered what other pokemon she had.

"Go, all of you!" she yelled, throwing all of her pokeballs in the air. In blinding flashes of white, all of her pokemon were in front of her. My eyes widened. She had a Milotic, a Golduck, a Vaporeon, a Feraligtr and Azumarril in addition into her Gyrados. Her pokemon towered in front of her, sizing up their opponents. Her eyes were locked on Zoroark, Luxray and Venasaur. She knew they'd had the type advantage; Zoroark depending if he changed into any pokemon. She bit her lip. She knew it wasn't going to be a good battle.

"Go, all of you attack at once!" the man cried.

"That's not fair!" I yelled at him. Misty looked at me, her eyes begging me to be quiet. I sighed.

"Shut up!" he yelled at me, giving me another kick to my chest. I groaned in plain.

"Don't touch him!" Misty roared. "Go, everyone! Stand your ground! This isn't going to be an easy battle!" she commanded her pokemon.

"You're right it isn't! Everyone attack with all you've got!" he yelled. It was obvious that he was all about power, and had no strategy. He knew nothing about pokemon battling, only fighting. But Misty was skilled. She had a strategy, power, and knowledge of the pokemon.

I saw Dragonite use Dragon Pulse at Golduck, Luxray use Thunderbolt at Gyrados, Ninetails use Flame Wheel at Feraligtr, Arcanine use Extremespeed at Milotic, Zoroark use Shadow Claw at Azumarril, and Venasaur use Vine Whip at Vaporeon.

"Golduck, redirect it with Psychic! Gyrados, counter with Dragon Rage! Feraligatr, Hydro Pump! Miltoic, when he gets close use Ice Beam! Azumarril, dodge and Water gun! Vaporeon, use Agility then Aqua Jet!" she commanded at once, her eyes seizing the field. The Dragon Pulse was redirected at Dragonite, who tried to fly to doge but got hit in the wing, the mix of Thunderbolt and Dragon Rage blew up, knocking Luxray back a few feet (Gyrados staying put,) Hydro Pump easily over came Flame Wheel and weakened Ninetails greatly. Milotic had got hit with Extremespeed, but managed to freeze one of Arcanine's back paws, handicapping him. Azumarril had dodged Zoroark's Shadow Claw and hit him the the face with a powerful water gun, stunning him for a few moments. Vaporeon dodged Venasaur's Vine Whips, climbing on them before using Aqua Jet in Venasaur's flower, face, and chest. Venasaur cried in pain and flinched. The vines were retracted.

The man saw this and growled. His face became a dangerous shade of red.

"Come on, you worthless creations! You obey me, you Shadow Monsters! You can't lose to this puny pipsqueak!" he roared. I knew Misty would hate that; she hated being called 'puny'. I was impressed with her battling, but I guess years of being a gym leader sharpens your skills. Suddenly, I heard someone's voice very near to me.

"Misty! The belt!" It was Dawn. Misty looked over to her curiously, wondering what she meant.

"The belt! They're shadow creatures! No pokeball, no control!" May explained. The realization registered on her face. Luckily, the man was too busy fuming to notice what May or Dawn said.

"Alright! Pokemon, hold up! Keep strong! Then, Vaporeon, go for it!" she shouted. Vaporeon looked back at her and nodded, understanding what she meant.

Both sides kept battling, Misty shouting out strategies and attacks, the man barely saying anything. I could feel my eyes widen when Dragonite went down. Ninetails and Arcanine had already fainted, no match for all water types. Unfortunately, Gyrados and Azumaril were down, too. Misty's eyes watched the falling creature carefully, all while battling Venasaur, Luxray and Zoroark. I could see that the man was distracted with the sight of his mightiest pokemon going down. Misty could see it too, because in the next second she was commanding Vaporeon to get the belt.

"Vaporeon, now! Aqua Jet!" she yelled. Vaporeon used Aqua Jet, dodging leaves, vines, claws and fangs while speeding at the man. She stopped her Aqua Jet just above Venasaur, gracefully landing on it's back, before shooting a water gun in the man's face. While the water was stinging his eyes, his bit through the belt around his waist, and running back to Misty.

The man opened his eyes and growled. "I don't think so! Venasaur, catch it!" Vaporeon had no time to dodge the big vines coming at her, especially with the added weight. Just as they were going to get her, a big blue blur came in front of her. In motioned for her to run. It was Feraligatr, wrestling the vines' strength with his own. I saw the belt being lifted from Vaporeon's mouth, and float over to Golduck. He was using Psychic to help Vaporeon with the weight. Vaporeon used Agility to and Crunch to help Feraligtr with the vines. They recoiled, and Feraligtr picked up Vaporeon and ran. I almost smiled at the friendship between the two. Milotic, who was battling Luxray and Zoroark, was suddenly helped by Golduck, Vaporeon and Feraligtr.

"Milotic, over here!" Misty waved her over. Milotic swiftly went to Misyt's side, looking at her questionably. "As soon as these pokeballs are broken, the dark spell on his pokemon break, and they won't be evil anymore. Think you can smash them?" I heard Misty ask her pokemon. Milotic nodded at her. She froze the pokeballs using Ice Beam, then slammed her tail down on the balls.

"NO!" They heard the guy scream. The pokeballs shattered, and immediately, the pokemon's eyes turned their normal color, and the shadow was gone. The ones still up looked around confusedly before fainting. The guy dropped to his knees, staring at the ground.

"No…. I… I had it all planned out… and you… you- a, a little punk… messed it up… how…" I heard him whisper, barely audible. His hands were on the ground, and he looked up. "How? I.. I don't understand…" Then, suddenly, he got up, screaming in fury, and launched himself at Misty. Milotic simply knocked him away with her tail.

"Golduck, Hypnosis on this idiot." Misty said with an eye roll. I smiled. She was her old self. And that's why I loved her. Golduck used hypnosis, and the guy was knocked out instantly.

"Feraligtr, would you be a dear and carry him until we get out of here?" She asked, head turning towards he pokemon. The pokemon nodded, and picked up the man, thrusting him over his shoulder. "Thank you." She thanked her pokemon. "Everyone else return. You all need some rest, yeah?" she asked with a smile. They were all tired, and nodded eagerly. She returned her pokemon (except for her Feraligtr) to their pokeballs just as her opponent's pokemon were coming to.

Ninetails rose first, then Arcanine, Dragonite, Zoroark, Venasaur, and Luxray. They looked lost and depressed. They also looked confused, probably as to where they were and what they were doing. They looked to Misty. When she noticed all eyes were on her, she looked at them all, until a grin graced her face.

God, I love her grins.

"So, you guys want me to catch you? I promise I won't make you do bad things." She promised. The pokemon were weak, tired and confused. Luxray stepped forward first, then Venasaur, Arcanine, Zoroark, and Ninetails. Dragonite was hesitant. Seeing this, she spoke to it,

"I promise I won't harm you. You can trust me. But you don't have to come with me." I could tell Dragonite was searching her face for any insincerity. It finally took a step forward. Misty smiled. "Good." She said. She instantly took out six pokeballs, and threw them all. They were all successful, and she walked up to them. She picked them up, putting them in her pocket.

"Aww! How sweet!" Dawn swooned. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, that's cute, but can you help us up?" I heard May asked. Misty laughed.

"Of course." She walked over to us. "Do you guys have any injuries?" she asked cautiously. Dawn shook her head, while May and I nodded.

"My leg hurts really, really bad and it was bleeding… it's probably broken." May explained. Misty looked at her, chewing her lip, deep in thought. She made a little grunt and turned to me, her eyebrows raised.

"Where he kicked me and my arm." I said. She was about to say something, when Drew came out running to us.

"Guys! I-huff- just-huff-"

"Drew, take a breath." Dawn suggested. He nodded, hands on his knees. When he was done, he stood up straight and explained.

"Me, Gary and Brock are fine. Brock and Gary are back taking care of some injured Togepi, Togetic, and Togekiss. I came here to see if you were alright."

"We're okay, but can you help me get Ash up? Dawn can walk, but May's leg is hurt, so is Ash. I can support May, but not Ash." She said. I saw Drew nod. Misty removed the rubble from Dawn's back and helped her up. She dusted herself off.

"Thanks Misty." She said, smiling at her. Misty smiled back and nodded. Drew was helping me up, when she looked over and smiled. I grinned back- I was so relieved to see her. I winced a little at the pain in my ribs, but I was overall okay. The pain was kind of dulled since Drew was supporting me. I saw him looking at May, so I waved Dawn over. She knew what I meant and helped support my side. Drew smiled at me and walked over to his girlfriend. Misty had helped her up, with little struggle since her leg was broken. But Misty easily passed her over to Drew who embraced her and stroked her hair. I smiled at the scene as Misty came up and helped support me also.

"They're sweet aren't they?" Dawn cooed. I nodded, while Misty mumbled out a 'yeah'. I finally got to fully turn and look at Misty. I was just grinning at her. She was so beautiful, dirt and all. She saw me staring, unfortunately.

"What?" she asked, annoyed. I was still grinning at her, not saying a word. She rolled her eyes.

"Ash Ketchum, you are creeping me out. What?" She questioned again. I chuckled.

"Oh, nothing. Just taking in how beautiful you are." I honestly told her. She rolled her eyes.

"I'm serious, Mist. You just took down that man single-handedly. And took his pokemon. It was amazing. And it made you look all the more gorgeous." I said. She looked at me curiously, searching my eyes. She then smiled.

"Thanks, Ash." She said, looking in my eyes. I shrugged.

"No problem." I said. Then, I looked at her again, and got the sudden urge to hug her. So I did. Noticing my intentions, Dawn stood off to the side, watching us gleefully. I hugged Misty, pulling her to my chest. I took in the aroma of her hair, and tightened my arms around her waist. I felt her tense up, but relax and put her arms around my neck. She didn't pull away. I was elated.

"Why the sudden hug, Ash?" she asked, taking her head from resting on my chest to look at my eyes. I smiled and confessed,

"I'm just so glad to have you back and unharmed, Mist. I don't know what I'd do without you." I said, burying my face in her hair. She put her head in the crook of my neck. I sighed contentedly.

"I'm glad you're alive, Ash. When we were gone, I was worrying about you every minute." She said. I tilted her head up to look at me. That's when I did it. I couldn't contain myself. I was just looking at her face, her cerulean eyes, soft pink lips, long eyelashes, and I couldn't fight it. I leaned in and kissed her.

I felt her grip tighten around my neck and she stood up on her tiptoes. Our kiss was broken by a chorus of 'awws!' and 'how sweet!'s. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, with my non-hurt arm, frustrated with the interruption. Misty laughed at my actions. I shifted my weight to one foot, slightly hurting my ribs as I did so. A concerned look came over her face.

"Ash, you okay?" I looked at her.

"Yeah, delighted." I said, grinning. She smiled.

"I love you Ash," she said. "I really do."

"I love you too Mist." I replied, winking at her.

"Well, isn't that heartwarming?" A familiar voice asked.

"Gary? Brock?" I asked. They laughed.

"Yeah, we got done healing the pokemon, so we found Drew." explained Brock. I nodded in understanding. And awkward silence followed.

"So…. What do we do now?" May asked thoughtfully. We laughed.

"You know, I don't know." Dawn said.

"I guess we could fix this place up." Misty suggested. I saw Brock nod.

"Yeah," he said in agreement, "But we have to wait for your injuries to heal. We have to tend to them and our pokemon." Brock said. Gary nodded.

"I'm sure glad we have two doctors in the group." Drew said. We laughed. Suddenly, a question popped in my mind: where was Pikachu? Horrible thoughts filled my mind. Before they got to bad, I voiced my concerns.

"Where's Pikachu?" Everyone's faces became one of worry. Except for Misty's, who had a sheepish smile on.

"Sorry. Here. I put him in his pokeball, because he just wanted to keep fighting and I wouldn't let him." She explained. It felt like a ten-ton weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I sighed. She let Pikachu out. He immediately rushed over to Misty, jumping in her arms. She snuggled the little electric mouse. I smiled at the two getting along so well, as if Pikachu was hers.

"I do love you, Pikachu, but I think you'll be glad to see Ash." She said to him. My little mouse's ears perked up. It saw me, and let our an ear-splitting 'CHAAA!' while snuggling into me and rubbing his cheeks against mine. Pikachu's cheeks were cackling with electricity. I laughed.

"I'm glad to see you too, buddy!" I exclaimed. We hugged, me grimacing in pain a bit, but overjoyed nonetheless. I was just so happy to see that he was okay.

"Speaking of pokemon," May started, "where's Feraligtr with that doofus?" she asked. Misty looked confused and her eyes widened. She looked around wildly.

"Relax, Misty," Dawn said, "He's over there." Dawn pointed out. He was sleeping on some rubble, with the man in an ever-tight headlock. The man was still knocked out by hypnosis.

"C'mon guys, lets go. We all need rest." Gary stated. We all agreed to that. Misty went over to Feraligtr to wake him, while Brock supported me. Gary and Dawn were casually talking, and Drew was helping May walk while making small conversation. Soon, we were all walking back to the temple, Feraligtr carrying the man over his shoulder.

I was now walking with Misty, (having enough strength to walk on my own), my hand around her waist, her face on my chest, Pikachu on my shoulder. Everything was so… right with the world, so peaceful, even though we had tons of work to do. But as I was reflecting everything that happened, I knew:

Everything was going to be okay.

A/N: So, that was like the end of my story. I'm contemplating on whether or not to make this into a full-on story, since I suck at updates. Tell me what you guys think, and if I should make this into a real story! Plus, I can always make a sequel to show them working and yadda yadda….

And just so you know, I don't even know if those pokemon can use those moves, so don't sue me if they can't . but they would just seem like they would be able to use those moves.

But anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed writing this. I felt that it was a change, a deeper story then I usually write. I hope you liked it (:
