Pokemon Fan Fiction / Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ My Mysterious Girl ❯ Arrival in Afforn and the Affection ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Okay, when I wrote this, I used a little bit of a cross-over, using the characters of Batman Beyond and the story came from a recent fic that I have been trying to plot out with some other people that are going to take part in it. The only difference is, is that when telling this story; my other story ended differently compared how it is going to be originally written. Yeah, that's right. It hasn't been written yet. I'm still writing the story that came before that one.
This story was rewritten only because of two things. First, it sounded really lame and there was no conflict that really stood a problem. There were a lot of stupid things that were put in it that never made sense to me. Sometimes I wondered what I was ON when I wrote in the first place because it was so choppy. And second, it never explained anything. That was only because I was just a beginning writer when I wrote this, and believe me, I have gotten a LOT better than I was when I wrote this. But I hope that this time, this fic turned out better than the first time I wrote it. Enjoy!

"You can't do it! I won't let you!" The seventeen year-old boy said. The girl walked over to her and hugged him tightly.

"Don't make this any harder than it is...please...I love you more than anything...!" She said.

"Then why does it have to be this way?? There has to be someway we can work it out...right? There has to be a different alternative!"

"I'm sorry....but this is how it has to be...in order for the world to be at peace, this is how things should be...and if it meant us not being together...."

"But you can't-! Forget everyone else! I just want to be with you and only you...."

"Oh, Terry..........I.....I....."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

"Brock...how much farther?" Ash whined. "My feet are tired."

"Stop whining." Misty replied. "All we've ever heard from you lately is complaining."

"Well, I wouldn't be like this if you didn't get us lost..."

"How many times have YOU gotten us lost before, Ash?"

"You can't even find yourself in a mirror!"

"Is that the only backfire-line you can come up with??"

"Knock it off you two..." Brock said. "We don't need you guys fighting at a time like this."

"Pika pika..." Pikachu groaned.

"We're not that far away from Affron City so keep it to yourself until then." Brock said. After an hour or so of walking, they had finally reached their destination: Affron City. Misty ran up to it as fast as she could, feeling all happy.

"Yay! We made it!" She exclaimed.

"Finally!" Ash blurted out. "We gotta find a Pokémon Center so that my pokemon will be revitalized."

"All right." Brock said. They walked a little further onwards to see a big building in a shape of a Pokéball. All around, the whole city was beautiful, full of excitement and attractions. The three walked inside and went up to the front desk, finding a beautiful nurse...Nurse Joy. Brock began to blush. "Hello Nurse Joy!!!"

"Welcome." She said. "Are you here for your pokémon to be healed?"

"Yes, Nurse Joy." Ash replied and handed her his pokéballs. She took them and went to the back.

"Geez, she's the most prettiest Nurse Joy I've ever seen." Brock said.

"Brock, they're....Oh, never mind. You never listen to me anyways." Misty replied, annoyed. They went to get something to eat and sat down at a table. Just as Brock was about to sit down, he saw a girl that had beautiful brow hair and amazing brown eyes. He stared at her in amazement. She looked over at him and smiled. Brock then felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see that Misty was there.

"C'mon, we're gonna lose you if you don't keep up." She said. Brock looked at her and then turned around to see that the girl was gone. He shook his. I missed, he thought. He followed Misty to their seat, where Ash was scarfing down his food. He looked up at the two and stopped eating.

"So Brock, where's this gym? I never saw it when we came in." He asked.

"It should be somewhere around here." He replied. "I heard that the gym here is much tougher than any other gym. This Gym Leader uses various pokémon, and he has very high-skilled pokémon. I'd be careful with this one, Ash."

"Oh, Brock. I am always careful. I'm on a hot streak right now. I can win with no doubt in my mind."

"You're getting a big ego again, Ash." Misty warned.

"Pika…Pikachu?"

"Misty, please. I'm gonna use my best and win." They walked over to the gym later on after getting Ash's pokémon and found something very shocking. They found a sign on the door that read: GYM IS CLOSED FOR THREE DAYS. THANK YOU FOR YOU PATIENCE. Ash looked at it in amazement. "Wh, wha?? Closed?? That can't be!!!" He said, angrily.

"Maybe the gym leader is on vacation." Misty said.

"Have you ever seen a gym leader go on vacation?" Ash asked.

"Hey, us Gym Leaders have lives too. They don't revolve around battling all the time." Misty shouted angrily.

"I'm gonna be farther behind than I am with Gary! I need to get in now!"

"Chill. We can rest here in Affron City for a couple days. Enjoy the sights and so on. We'll have a little break." Brock said calmly.

"All right..." Ash sighed. Just then, they heard a person. She sounded very scared and angry.

"Stop it!" She said.

"Not so big now since you're sista isn't here, are ya?" A gang member said.

"Leave me alone!!"

"Only if you give me yer pokémon!"

"Never!" She said. She tried to run the other way, but other gang members were blocking her.

"You don't want us to get ugly, do ya? Just hand em' over now or we will!" He said.

"Leave her alone!" Ash said as the three came in. The guy looked over at them, disgusted.

"What do ya nerds want??" He asked.

"Leave that girl alone." Brock said, in his demanding tone.

"And why should I?"

"Because you shouldn't pick on anyone that isn't your size!"

"That's it!! I'll take care of ya personally!!" He said and went to go tackle him.

"Pikachu! Go!" Ash said. Pikachu jumped into the air and jumped at the guy, letting out a huge thunder shock. He fell over, burnt to a crisp. He got back up, and called to the other biker gang and ran off. The girl got up and went over to them. She had orange hair and was Misty's age. She was kind of short.

"Thank you so much." She said, gratefully.

"Why were those guys bugging you miss?" Brock asked.

"They always bug me on my way to the gym." She replied.

"Are you the Gym Leader??" Ash asked.

"No. My sister owns this gym. She said once she's ready to go off on her own with her pokémon training, she said she'd give it to me because she thinks I am responsible enough. Oh, my name is Tammy."

"I'm Ash from the town of Pallet."

"I'm Misty, the fourth Gym Leader from Cerulean City."

"Brock, the Gym Leader from Pewter City."

"Nice to meet ya."

"Tammy, why is the Gym closed down? It seems very odd for something like this to happen." Misty asked. Tammy put her head down and sighed.

"My sister has been working a lot. She needs to help out our family because we're kind of low on paying bills. My Daddy got laid off and now until he finds a job, she has to supporting us with her talents. She has trouble trying to keep up with working late nights and then going to the gym early in the morning to except all the challenges. That's why the past couple people beat her because she was so tired to battle. I think they were from Pallet too. Usually, before this ever happened, she was always on her game. Now, she can't. I'm throwing her a party to take her mind off everything. Bringing all her friends and some other people for all her hard work....HEY! I would love for you all to come as my guests. After all, you did save me. Then you could meet her. I'm sure she would love to meet you all." Tammy said.

"Sure, that would be fun!" Misty said.

"Yeah!" Brock and Ash said simultaneously.

"All right. Here's an address you can go to for the party. Come at seven sharp." Tammy said, handing them a piece of paper. They all nodded and departed.

"Man, am I tired." James said, taking a long yawn. "Are we even there yet?"

"Shut up, James!" Jesse snapped. "Affron City isn't too far away from here, so just shut up until we get there….That gym leader there has some very rare and valuable pokémon that we NEED to steal in order to get some credit on the boss…"

"Yeah…AND there's supposed to be some waterfall dat's nearby the city dat contains some nice crystals. Dey would fetch us some hard cash if we sold dem." Meowth added.

"Crystals? Who would want crystals?" James asked. Jesse then whacked him on the head.

"You truly are clueless…" She sighed. "It doesn't matter who would want to use them anyways. They look expensive and that's all the counts."

"Yeah!" Meowth said.

Ash, Brock, and Misty were finally able to locate a near hotel that was close to Tabby's house. They knew that they might be there for a while, so renting a hotel was a smart thing to do. That night, the three got into some fancy clothes. As Brock was getting his tie on, Ash came up from behind.

"You know Brock, at the dinner party, could you please not embarrass us if you see a pretty girl?" He asked. Brock turned to him.

"Oh, c'mon Ash...There will be plenty of beautiful girls there. How am I supposed to control myself??"

"It's called self-control. Do you have that?"

"Sometimes I wonder if you have that..." Brock grumbled.

"What was that?!" Ash asked.

"...Never mind." Brock replied. Suddenly, Misty came in.

"Whoa, Misty!" Ash said, looking at her. "You look great!"

"Thank you, Ash." Misty giggled. "Now c'mon. We're gonna be late." They went to the party and when they did, Brock separated from Ash and Misty, so he can go just look around. As he did, he found nothing interesting, not even the girls. They all had boyfriends with them and they seemed kind of snobbish. Brock just didn't want to talk to them. This place is boring, He thought to himself. He went over to the corner and just leaned against it. Bored, Brock just watched everything, turning then to the sky glass. He saw all the beautiful stars. Suddenly, a shooting star went by. Brock watched it go down, watching it in amazement and as he did, something caught his eye. In the distance, he could see a girl with a short, white dress. It was the same girl that he saw at the Pokémon Center! She was also looking at the shooting star and suddenly, she saw him. Brock began to blush. OH NO!! He thought. I can't blush! She sees me! OH no! She's comin' towards me! What do I do??!! The girl walked over to him and began surveying him.

"Hmm....You know, you're practically the cutest one here. Wait a minute. You're the guy I saw at the Pokémon Center earlier today." She said finally. "Dance with me?" Brock was too stunned by her beauty. She put her hands on her hips.

"Oh, I get it...You'll only dance with a girl you like, right. All right then...I guess I'm just going to have to be by myself.... All alone.... Did it work?" She said, pretending to act like she was sad. Brock began to chuckle in amusement.

"I'm sorry...I can't dance." He said. "I am not really that good because I was never taught how to."

"Oh, That's okay." She said sweetly. "I've been waiting for someone to dance with. I can't dance alone." She said and began tugging him by the hand and took him onto the dance floor.

"But I can't--!" He said, hesitantly. Brock had no choice. He should be polite. Oh, it's just a dance. No big deal, Brock thought. But what if I screw up? Make a fool of myself? Oh man...The girl stopped in the middle of the floor. She took Brock's one hand, put it on her hip, and put the other hand into hers.

"Ready?" The girl asked. Brock was nervous. She began to lead him, going through the steps slowly. She was smiling at him while he looked at her, and tried to keep up in steps. He began to stumble over himself, trying not to step onto the girl's feet. She slid away, still holding Brock's hand, and when she pulled him back, he fell into her. They got back up. Brock felt embarrassed and decided he should leave. The girl took him by the hand again, trying to lead him back. Brock looked at her to see she had a sweet smile on her face. They walked back to the floor and began trying it again. The girl set them up again. They started to dance again, and Brock seemed a little bit better than he was the first time. Just as he was getting the hang of it, he rammed into a couple that were dancing. They looked at them and scolded. Brock tried to say he was sorry, but they didn't seem to care.

"Don't worry," The girl said with a smile. He looked at her, giving her a timid smile back. He held her hand up in the air, and suddenly, he began dancing like a natural. Right, right, left, left, Brock concentrated as he and the girl were dancing to each others' opposite side. Brock looked very good at it and he didn't know how he was doing it, but he did it. It looked smooth, and everyone that was watching was amazed. Misty and Ash were in the crowd as well, watching Brock dance.

"Wow, he's doing well." Ash said.

"Yeah...Say, who's that girl he's with?" Misty asked.

"Never met her before." Ash replied.

"I'd say Brock found someone he REALLY liked." Misty remarked. Brock slid around her, going at the same speed that all the other men were at while the girl spun around. He got closer to her, took her by the hand and began to twirl her around. She twirled away from him, and spun right into his arms. They spread apart, and then finally, Brock and the girl were close together, hand in hand, a little bit too close. They were inches away from each other and then there were fireworks at display. The two watched it amazement. The girl then turned to him.

"You're not that bad," She grinned.

"Better than I thought I would do...but you're a lot better than I am." He replied, blushing. The girl blushed back. Abruptly, it hit her.

"Oh! We don't even know each others' names, do we?" She remembered. "My name is Dawn." Dawn, Brock thought as he began to blush. What a beautiful name for an angel!

"I'm Brock." He replied.

"Brock..." Dawn said in a soft tone. "I like that name." She likes my name! Success!! Dawn looked at her watch and then looked at him.

"I better get going. It's getting late." Dawn said.

"Will I get to see you again anytime soon?" Brock asked.

"Sure enough, we'll meet." She smiled.

"Can I at least have your phone number??" Brock questioned. Dawn began to giggle, seeing how funny he was, then took out a pencil and paper with a picture on the other side and began writing numbers, as neatly as possible. She handed it to him.

"There you go," She said. Suddenly, Tammy came up to the two.

"Well, Brock, I see you've already met my older sister, Dawn." She said. Brock turned to her.

"You're the Gym Leader?" He asked, surprised.

"Uh huh." Dawn grinned. She turned to Tammy. "...I have to go."

"But Dawn...You just got here an hour ago." Tammy said.

"I know. I'm on a schedule. Mr. Riley expects me to be at work." Dawn said.

"....I understand." She said.

"Bye, Tammy. It was nice meeting you, Brock." She waved him goodbye, and walked away, leaving him speechless. Brock turned to Tammy.

"Tammy, where does Dawn work so late at night anyways?" He asked.

"She entertains. Dawn works over at Jigglypuff's Jukebox. It's the most popular thing to go to. She has been working hard their so she can get her album made." Ash and Misty then walked over to him and began grinning at him.

"Gee, Brock, you really put the moves on tonight." Ash said, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, but, that's not the only thing that Brock put the moves on...." Misty said slyly. Brock turned to her and began to blush
super red.

"For your information, Misty, she gave me her phone number. Dawn did not reject me."

"Wow, that's a first Brock. You really must of impressed her with the beginning moves you had as you two began to dance." Misty said.

"Oh, shut up!"

"Well, Brock think about it. Every girl has turned you down. I could score a date better than you." Ash said.

"Oh no..." Misty said, shaking her head.

"Yeah? Let's see you." Brock said, crossing his arms. Ash looked around and found a girl in a corner by herself. He walked over to her and smiled.

"Excuse me young lady. Would you like to dance with a handsome guy like myself? I'm sure you don't realize that this is such a rare occasion, you are the lucky girl to get this opportunity." Ash said.

"Drop dead, toad!" She snapped. He took her by the arm.

"Please! I really want you to dance with me!"

"Go away!! Darien!! This thing is bothering me!!" A huge, bulky guy came up to him and looked at him with a mean look.

"Is this the kid whose botherin' you baby?" He asked.

"Yeah...could you take care of him?"

"Sure." He said and took Ash by his tux. Misty and Brock turned away to not look at Ash getting beaten up on. He came back with his tux all torn and with bruises.

"Gee, Ash, you really showed me how to score a better date." Brock said sarcastically.

"C'mon. We better get you back to the hotel." Misty said, as she and Brock tried to pick him up.
