This Is Where You Belong

The Big News

"It's beautiful Ash!" Misty was utterly speechless as we sat atop a small hill on the outskirts of Cerulean.

"Well when you live in a city as big as Cerulean all the stars mesh together with the lights, ya know?" I tilted my head to get a better look at the beauty that was sitting next to me. The way her dress clung to her body had me going wild, I couldn't stop staring no matter how hard I tried!

"Thanks for dinner tonight Ash. It was wonderful." She scooted her way towards me and leaned her head against my shoulder.

"It was my pleasure Mist."

Misty giggled and turned her head to face mine

"And thank you for bringing me out here too, it's been a long time since i've been able to relax and enjoy the little things in life." She smiled sincerly and continued to look me in the eyes

"You deserve it more than anyone else." My face began to heat up. Misty's face was only a couple of inches away from mine.

"Is everything ok Ash?" She turned slightly and put a hand on my chest. That's when my face turned beet red

"Gah! Yeah! Fine! Cool Beans!"

...Cool beans? What the f-

A faint beep cut off my train of thoughts.

"It's ok Ash. You don't need to be nervous, I understand. In fact..." She bite her lip and lightly grasped my shirt

"I know what you want."

She slowly closed her eyes and leaned upwards, her lips just a mere inch in front of my lips! My heart was racing and my head was spinning, I felt like I had just won a race against a Rapidash. What do I do? Do I kiss her back? Do I reject it and explain why I can't?

...why can't I? Gah! I don't even know my own damn name anymore! And what the hell is that beeping noise? Is that my phone? But that's in my pocket, is it her phone?

"Ash?" I looked down and noticed confusion on her face "What's BEEP"

I raised my eyebrow

"I'm sorry, could you say that again?"

"I said, what's BEEP"

That's funny, her mouth lipped wrong, but all I heard was. . .

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

My eyes shot open and I was back in my bed, the alarm clock beside me was going of the hook and Pikachu was at the edge of the bed doing his best to cover his ears from the annoying sound that repeated itself.

I groaned and rolled over, slamming my palm onto the clock hoping it would turn it off. Luckily it fell off the nightstand and unplugged itself. Stupid thing. But unluckily I fell to the floor, how the?

Ah. The couch.

I sat up and rubbed my face, putting a little more emphasis on my temples as the fall to the ground rattled my head a tad. These dreams I was having were becoming a nuisance. My eyes suddenly went wide with a sudden realization, Misty was in the room!

I turned to the bed but saw only a neatly folded bed spread, I scratched my head and sighed heavily. I was hoping to at least see her when I woke up, but why didn't she say goodbye or leave me a message?

I got up and grabbed my phone, skimming through it, no text's or phone calls. Damn.

Hold on a minute, I have a few emails. I opened up the app and sat down on the bed and began reading through the first one, junk.

Junk, junk, fan mail (just kidding junk), and. . . Scott?

I stood up and turned the light on for a better read, the email was probably just a normal 'how ya doin'" or the typical "Are you in the area?" kind of thing, I opened the email and skimmed the first few lines, not really paying attention to the message. It wasn't until the third line in that the message became more captivating, Scott explaining his 'dire' need to come into contact with me. Apparently he had a big surprise in store and knowing him it was probably something to do with the frontier brains or some major tournament coming up, but last I heard there wasn't any coming up.
