( Misty's POV )

Daisy and Violet were having a fight over who was the prettiest. I honestly didn't really know why I was able to endure their fights every time. Lily felt more like singing, even though she can't sing and my ears were bleeding. Were we really related?

"Daisy, Violet, quit it!"I yelled at them in annoyance.

"Geez, chill Misty."Daisy said.

"Yeah, it's like totally rude to interrupt people in their conversation." I raised an eyebrow. "Go and help Psyduck." I groaned, but did as they told me to. Psyduck wasn't feeling like trying to swim, yet.

"Come here Psyduck!"I yelled chasing the yellow pokémon. "You're the only water one that can't swim, now get your butt over here and start learning!"

"Psy! Psy! Psy!"Psyduck yelled in fear. I sighed. Was I ever gonna be able to make Psyduck swim?  Then I heard the doorbell.

"Fine!"I yelled. "I give up. Tomorrow you'll be laying in the water Psyduck! Got it!"

"Psy?"Psyduck questioned. I glared at my pokémon. Then I walked to the door and opened it. There was a young boy, couldn't be older than I was, and a girl. The girl had black hair, grey eyes and a colorful dress. Her hair was a little curly. She was pretty. The boy had light brown hair, dark chocolate colored eyes and was wearing a grey hoodie with blue jeans and sneakers. He looked confident.

"You're here to challenge me for a pokémon battle, right?"I asked. The girl smiled a little and the boy became even more confident.

"Yes, I am!"he yelled. "And I'm gonna win!" I chuckled.

"Don't count on that."I said and I stepped aside to let them both inside. The girl was amazed by the sight of the Cerulean City Gym. The boy on the other hand was too excited for his battle to look at the wonderful pool. "Are you ready?"I asked the boy. He smirked.

"Ready when you are."he said. With that I took my pose.

"It's a one on one battle!"I yelled and the boy nodded.

"Sherlock, I choose you!"the boy yelled loudly. Out of the pokéball came a Snubbull. I grinned.

"Come on out, Politoed!"I screamed. In a flash of light appeared my trusty Politoed. It clapped happily. "Bet you can't beat my lovely Politoed!" The boy smirked.

"Sherlock, use Bite!"

"Politoed, dodge!" My Politoed dodged successfully. "Well done! Now use Watergun!" Politoed used Watergun and Sherlock, the boy's Snubbull, got hit. But Sherlock kept standing.

"Ha!"the boy screamed, making my eyes narrow. "Now Sherlock use..." He couldn't finish his sentence, for  Politoed used Double Slap, without me having to ask it.

"Now don't get too confident!"I yelled triumphantly. Now the boy narrowed his eyes.

"Come on Fred, use Ice Fang!"the girl screamed at her traveling partner. The boy, Fred, gave her an annoyed look.

"I know that!"he yelled. "Come on Sherlock! Ice Fang!" Sherlock obeyed and Politoed got hit.

"Politoed, get up!"I yelled. "We're not gonna let him beat us are we?! Get up and use Tackle!" Politoed jumped up and tackled Sherlock. "Good job Politoed! Now use Double Slap!" Sherlock had gotten some serious damage.

"Sherlock, Tackle!"Fred yelled, but the Snubbull fainted. The girl sighed and shook her head.

"Sherlock is unable to battle!"Daisy yelled. "Misty and her Politoed win the match!" I hugged Politoed. Fred seemed not at all angry or sad. Disappointed, yes, but not sad. The girl on the other hand had an I-told-you-so look in her eyes. Fred glared at her.

"Your Politoed is amazing."Fred said. I chuckled.

"Thanks."I said with a smile. "You did great too, you know."

"I know."Fred said with a smirk on his face. The girl stiffened.

"You were horrible."she said. "You and Sherlock didn't work together and you never tried any defensive moves. I told you, you need to train." Fred gave her an angry look.

"I don't train!"he hissed. She raised an eyebrow and bowed her head with crossed arms.

"Well if you did, you might be able to actually win."she said. I chuckled.

"It's true."I said. "If you don't train, you won't get any better. You and your pokémon should get a real bond together. Only then, you can win battles. How long do you have Sherlock?"

"About three years, why?"Fred asked.

"Because you should've had a great bond with Sherlock by now."the girl snarled. "But you're too arrogant to believe that." Fred now got really angry and I sighed as the two started fighting.

"I'M NOT ARROGANT!"Fred screamed.

"You are!"the girl yelled back. Her arms lowered and her hands turned into fists. "I'm a gym leader, I know every sort of trainer! You're the cockiest!"

"SHUT UP!"Fred yelled at the girl. She sticked her out tongue, which made Fred really angry. His face was red from anger. "WHY, YOU?!"he screamed and started to try to hit the girl. But she just held out her hand, keeping him at a safe distance.

"Don't you dare."she said dangerously. Fred screamed some insults, but gave up eventually. The girl had a triumphant smile on her face.

"I hate you."Fred said.

"Too bad." Fred walked away.

"I'm gonna train."he said. "Goodbye." The girl didn't say anything back. I offered her my hand to break the silence.

"Hello, my name's Misty."I said. She shook my hand and smiled.

"Sky."she said.

"Hello Sky." Sky chuckled. Her beautiful black hair moving with her. "Nice to meet you."

( time skip )

About a month had passed. Fred had beat me. He and his Snubbull were a better team now, and Sky and Fred were still fighting. I had gotten to know Fred, in a... special way.

He pinned me against the wall. I chuckled. "Do you love me?"he said with a smirk, not planning on letting me go.

"I already told you that, several times."I said laughingly. He smirked.

"I know."he said. "I just like hearing it." I playfully gave him a small punch in his shoulder.

"Flirt."I said. He chuckled and kissed me. I kissed back, without hesitation. Then he finally let go of me. I smiled. "What about Sky, though?"I asked. My smile faded. I knew the girl had a crush on Fred, even though she never said it out loud. And he and I were together.

"She's leaving."Fred said, shrugging. "Something with her grandma."

"Aren't you sad?"I asked. He tried not to show it, but I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"No."he said. I shook my head.

"Doesn't matter."I said, trying to make him comfortable. Maybe it was selfish, but I didn't want to talk about Sky again. Even though I started the conversation. "Come, I'll show you something!" Fred ran after me to a huge tower. From there we could see the whole town.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"I asked. He nodded.

"But not as beautiful as you." I chuckled. After a while Fred turned around to leave. I stood there for a while thinking. It was ten minutes after Fred left that I decided to go too. I walked over the beautiful green grass. The hills. I felt great. But that feeling changed when I saw a woman with a gun. And two persons before her. With shock it came to me. Daisy and Fred.

"Hello, dear."the woman said. "Could you help me? I need to kill one of them, your choice." I stood there.

"Help him."Daisy said. Her voice was hoarse. Fred looked afraid, Daisy was more confident. "I know you care for him." I felt tears coming up. My eyes were getting watery and the first tear fell over my cheek.

"No."I said. "Don't kill them." 

"You chose."the woman said and she shot Fred in the head. He fell on the ground.

"No!"I screamed and I ran to him. He was already dead. I turned to the woman with red eyes and full of tears. I ran to her and pushed her in the ravine. My anger was getting the best of me. And I put my hands before my mouth as soon as I realized what I had done. I had murdered someone.

Daisy ran to me, hugging me for comfort. "I-I'm sorry."I said sobbing. What had I done?

"It's okay."Daisy said calmly. "It's not your fault."

"But it is."I said, still crying. "I'm sorry."I repeated. Daisy stroke my hair, shushing me. I buried my face in her shoulder, letting out loud sobs.

( Dawn's POV )

I was silent the whole time Misty told her story. It was sad. Paul nodded when she was done and said, "I would've done the same if I was in your position."

"We should tell the others and try to stop whom is trying to kill you." Paul nodded and Misty looked down. "Nobody will judge you Misty."

"I hope not."Misty said.

( time skip )

Misty also told the whole story to the rest. Ash, May and Leaf hugged her and Drew and Gary said all was okay. Misty seemed relieved, knowing her friends didn't judge her.

"But the question remains."Drew said. "Who's the killer?" Gary nodded.

"I think Sky."Ash said.

"No."Misty said. "Sky doesn't know. She doesn't know what happened to Fred. I know Sky and she's no good actress. If she knew, I would've seen it."

"But she's the only one that can know."Drew said. "If I remember correctly, you said you killed the woman that murdered Fred." Misty nodded.

"But it's not her."she said. "I would've seen it."

"What about the other guy?"I asked. Nobody answered. "If we know who he is we might be able to stop whatever they're planning." Paul nodded.

"Let's focus on the guy first."Gary said. "We have a week." We all nodded. Misty started doing research. Ash, Pikachu and May were going to officer Jenny. Drew, Gary and Leaf were gonna look for clues. And Paul and I were going to the hospital. Brendan was the only one that was able to help us now.
