Our Best : Ash and Misty

Our Best : The In-Between

Disclaimer - Don't own nothin'. (Creative, I know. . . =P)

Author - Chibi / Warlordess

Notes - Okay, this is going to be a combination of two one-shot series I wanted to write about Ash and Misty. (Apparently one-shot series are the new thing, though I hope mine will be a tad more popular than some of the others I've seen out there recently.) Some of these fics are going to be about methods of communication between the two of them (basically a bunch of phone-call fics showing that they're still close, still best friends who are trying to remain as such) while the other part of these fics was going to be about miscellaneous moments in time (both friendly and romantic).

Please note that, as stated in the first one-shot I posted, these are all unrelated to one another and completely random. I'll try to include a setting underneath the one-shot title so that you have a relative idea of where or when this takes place. If I don't tell you where or when, then it's not a big deal whether you know or not.

OoOoO

OoOoO

"Nurse - um, sorry - I mean Agent Joy, where are you going now?" Misty asked, holding Togepi tightly to her chest as always, her heart encouraged by the fact that she had just aced her gym leader examination by the League and gotten a temperamental Gyarados to consider her his trainer all in one short, action-packed afternoon.

"I'm heading to the Hoenn region; more official PIA business." replied the nurse-turned-League-official.

"Would you do a really big favor for me?" In truth, Misty knew Joy owed her nothing, and was actually very grateful for the assistance she had been offered already. Something in the back of her mind told her that if either of those two agents she'd seen on television had been the ones to inspect her Gym, she already would've been stripped of her title and forced to leave the premises.

"Uh-huh?" But Joy was as kind as ever, always willing to help a trainer when they asked for it. And the two of them had bonded quite well over the past forty-eight hours.

"Well, if you happen to meet a guy named Ash, who's a Pokemon trainer, would you tell him his friend Misty finally made it as a Gym Leader?" she asked, trying to hold back the urge to say it all in one, overly excited breath. She had to be casual though, had to fight it.

"Sure, I'd be glad to!"

And the two young women bid farewell to one another and went on to tend to their business.
