ASH'S THOUGHTS
Ash's thoughts
By: Vanessa
I got up out of my sleeping bag. I decided to take a walk. After all
it
was about 5:30. I had to get up soon anyway if not Pikachu or Misty or
even Brock would splash me with the cold water that lays in the
river next to where we camped this night. Or shock me awake. I looked at
the
peaceful red head. So long I have wondered how she really has felt the
night
of horrors and scares at the Pokemon Tower. How I wondered with worry if
she
really cared for me.
'What do I look like in her eyes?' I thought. 'Do I look like a younger
boy too stubborn to look into her eyes and say the truth? A younger boy
obsessed in Pokemon catching to not to bother looking her way and smile?
Or without for once a fight for the day?' Looking back on my trails I
could
see a smile on her lips. The smile I have always yearned to smile for
me.
That smile.
I wish she knew I was just a 11 year old kid now who has grown up to
fast, now having mixed emotions and thoughts he has never come upon
before.
'Who am I?' I thought wearily. 'Who am I?' Am I really fit to be a
'Pokemon Master'? Am I ready to achieve something so great so powerful?
Something so grand?' I had to admit to myself on the fact that I was
only 11 years old and scared. So far away from home that I sometimes
creep out of my bed and go swimming in the predawn so that something is
around me. That welcomes me. Like home. So long I have traveled. So long
I have waited and still do to return to my home and go into the arms
that once held me when I was sick or held me because or a thunderstorm.
Held me because of a moment or held me because I was lonely. Now the
person I would like to hold doesn't know my feelings. Doesn't she know
what
I really think of at night when I lie awake because of the thoughts that
whirl around in my head? What I really thought the day I saw her and she
fished my out of the river that day I thought I would meet my death. She
saved my life so I could one day repay her for something that costs so
much. Is she just following me because of the dumb bike? Or anything
more, could she be in love with me? Probably Brock she's in love with, I
think she follows me because James shows up with his female friend, and
maybe
more team member.
Why would she be following us anyway? She followed me first and then
Brock came along. Could it be for Pikachu? She really likes him. Of
course not in that way, but their really good friends. She always liked
to hold him before she got Togepi.
Does she feel like she should follow us? Or does she just want a friend
like everyone wants in the world?
By that time the sun was rising in the east where I stood on a cliff to
meet it. It was so beautiful so bold. It made me want to yell so I did.
"I love Misty." There I had finally admitted for it.
For too long I have kept them bottled up like Pikachu's ketchup bottle.
But now I need to open up and ask her. Ask her the feelings, which she
may have bottled up inside her the way I have my feelings.
I walked slowly back. Not really wanting to see anybody to be alone with
my thoughts. They were the only ones that I understood. I came to wear
Misty lay. Peacefully sleeping like Brock and the rest of the Pokemon
that we let out at night. I pushed away one stray locket of hair from
her beautiful closed eyes. She wore her hair down when no one would
notice her. I know she liked her hair.
But didn't admit defeat because of her reputation of being a tomboy. I
know
she liked having her hair whisked back in the wind while chatting with a
boy
about a date they would set for going out. I know she dreams about it.
If
only I knew and
wished that boy would be me.
I turned around scared she might wake up. I was about to go back into my
sleeping bag when I heard a voice behind my shaking shoulders.
"Ash it was you."
