SPECTERS OF THE PAST Part 1

By Arthur

It's been a year since Ash defeated Mewtwo. Ash and Misty are now 18 and Brock and Christine are about 22. It is

a time of peace and happiness in the land, now that Giovani, Team Rocket, Mewtwo, and Gary have been defeated.

There is seemingly no one left to challenge Ash and his friends.

On top of the Celadon City Market…

“The night sky is beautiful, isn't it.” Said Misty. Not as beautiful as you thought Ash; “Yeah.” Ash started to turn a shade of

red. “What is it?” asked Misty. “I wanted to ask you something.” Explained Ash. “Yes?” she wondered. “Well, I was

wondering…You see, I was thinking…Well, there comes a time when…I guess what I'm trying to say is that…” stammered

Ash. “Well, what is it?” said Misty. “Um…” he started. Suddenly the whole building began to shake. “What's that?” asked

Misty. “I don't know.” Replied Ash. Two balls, one red and one blue, fell from the sky and landed right outside the market.

“Let's go check it out.” Encouraged Misty, dragging Ash along with her. Drat. Thought Ash. Why can't I just

bring myself to

ask her?

Specters of the past…

When the two got out the door, there was already a huge circle around what had fallen. Ash and Misty worked their way to the

front of the crowd. When they got there, they saw two people standing there. The boy had fiery red hair. The girl had icy blue

hair. Both were emitting an aura the same color as their hair. “Mark? Megan?” exclaimed Ash, looking at the two people.

“Ash? Is that you?” Said the boy in surprise. “How unpleasant to see you again.” The girl muttered. “Who are these people?”

inquired Misty. “This is Mark and Megan, my rival trainers from Pallet.” Explained Ash. “Only they look like I imagined them.

I always thought that Mark looked like he was on fire, and Megan always looked like she lived in a freezer.” “We are no longer

the Mark and Megan you knew.” Boomed the boy. “We are ten times as powerful as the greatest trainer in the world!” shouted

the girl. “Inferno!” shouted the boy. “Polaris!” screamed the girl. “Team Gemini blast off at the speed of light!” said Inferno.

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!” declared Polaris. Then a blue and red Pokemon jumped out from behind them. It

somewhat resembled a tiger. “Rrrr…” it growled. “Now we will conquer all the world!” laughed Inferno. “Our Pokemon are

unparalleled. They can't be defeated.” Bragged Polaris. “Oh yeah?” challenged Misty. “Let's battle.” Beckoned Ash. Just as

they were about to start, a squad of police drove up to the crowd. “Look's like Team Gemini's” started Inferno. “Blasting off

again!” finished Polaris. “What's going on here?” demanded Jenny. “They…” said Misty, pointing at Inferno and Polaris.

“Who? I don't see anyone!” interrupted Jenny. When Misty looked back, Team Gemini had left.

Ash's House…

“It's really nice of you to give us a meal.” Thanked Brock. “Yes, it's really generous.” Agreed Christine. “Oh, it's the least I

could do for any friends of Ash's.” said Ash's mom. “Come to think of it, where is Ash?” Then, Ash and Misty burst through

the door, looking like a couple of drowned rats. “What happened?” asked Brock. Ash and Misty spit out the whole story

about Inferno and Polaris. “Wow.” Said Christine. “That's heavy.” “Well, it's definitely not a good idea for you two to be

running around in a rainstorm.” Scolded Ash's mom. “Ash, I want you on your best behavior while your friends stay tonight.

Now go and change into some dry clothes.” “Aw, Mom…” complained Ash as he and Misty went upstairs.

Fifteen minutes later…

“C'mon Misty, how long does it take to change?” complained Ash. Ash had lent a set of his clothes to Misty so his mom could

dry off her clothes. “There.” Sighed Misty as she opened the door. Wow…thought Ash as he looked at Misty. The jeans were

a little big, and the shirt and vest were a little small. But the size didn't matter, Ash was stunned. Even the unofficial Pokemon

hat with the funny symbol looked good on her. “Don't stare too hard Mr. Pokemon Master.” Blushed Misty with a touch of

shyness. “Sorry.” Apologized Ash, quickly averting his gaze to her face. The two walked downstairs. “Ahhh! It's Team

Gemini part two!” teased Brock, immediately doubling over in laughter. “That's not funny.” Huffed Misty. Even Ash was

laughing. As soon as everyone was able to talk without giggling, Ash's mom called the two to the table. She sat them down

across from each other, making it look like a mirror effect. Brock snickered for a bit, but quickly kept it to himself when he saw

Misty glaring at him. The group finished dinner and went upstairs to their rooms. Brock and Christine were in the same room,

as were Ash and Misty. “Good night kids!” Ash's mom called from the kitchen.

Brock's room…

“That was hilarious!” laughed Brock. “That's not nice.” Said Christine, only half meaning it. “Do you really think that Ash and

Misty were telling the truth about that Team Gemini?” asked Brock. “Well, we've seen weirder things.” Recalled Christine. “Oh

well. Goodnight Christine, my sweet.” Said Brock, pulling the covers over himself. “Goodnight Brock, you obnoxious flirt.”

Joked Christine, pulling the covers on her bed over her head.

Ash's room…

Ash got in his sleeping bag. “Thanks for letting me have the bed.” Said Misty. “No problem Misty.” Replied Ash. “Ash, about

Celadon City, you never finished asking me your question.” Remembered Misty. Ash started to sweat. He still had the ring in

his pocket. He sat up and put his hand in his pocket to make sure it was still there. “Well…I guess I didn't.” stalled Ash. “Well,

what is it?” encouraged Misty. Ash was panicking. It was the question that he so desperately wanted to ask, but was so afraid

to. “Um…Misty? I wanted to ask you…well…we've been together for over four years now, and I was thinking…” “Are you

kids asleep yet?” whispered Ash's mom, opening the door. “…That it can wait.” Finished Ash. “Goodnight Misty.” Ash's mom

left, and Misty curled up. “Goodnight Ash.” She whispered. Why won't he ask? I've spent the last five months waiting

for him to ask. I want to answer. I want to tell him…

What is it that Ash wants to ask Misty? Will Team Gemini strike again? Is Brock thinking the same things about

Christine that Ash's thinking about Misty? Find out in my next installment.
