PLANS

Part 5

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own pokemon or characters, just Alex.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good Morning Misty" said Alex when Misty arrived back at camp. "Ash over there's still sleeping."

"Oh, I wanted to ask him a question, but I can wait until he gets up."

"Uh...Misty...he's not going to be traveling with us is he?"

"Well, he isn't Team Rocket....so...I guess..."

"Good." a smile came to Alex's face. "Oh, what is it with Pikachu and Vaporeon? They've been at each other's throats since I

woke up, maybe even before that."

"I don't know, I guess Team Rocket and Pikachu don't mix."

"Ok, so where are we headed today?"

"Hmmm. We could rob Professer Oak's lab. He keeps lots of pokemon there."

"Good plan, but we'll need to get rid of Ash first"

"You have a point there. Ash would only stop us."

Before Any plans could be made, Ash woke up.

"Good Morning Ash" said Misty.

"Good Morning. So where are we going today?" asked Ash

"Well, um... Ash.....we weren't planning on you following us." said Misty

"So you can leave now....buh bye!" said Alex

"Well, I want my Charizard back. He finally decides to listen to me, and he gets taken. I won't let the likes of you take him

away now." said Ash.

"Ash, you're starting to sound like me following you for my bike (and because she liked him). But listen Ash, you can't follow

us." said Misty

"Why can't I?"

"Think Ash. Look, I'm with Team Rocket now. We can't have you following us around. Also, why would you want to be even

near me? you made it quite clear that you didn't like me following you a long time ago." Misty's anger and sadness was building

up "And me making a complete fool of myself in front of you! I thought maybe you changed your thoughts now about me, but

now I realize you are only following us for your Charizard. Alex, give it back to him and let him leave." Misty then turned her

back.

Alex, looking more confused as ever, dug out Charizard's pokeball and handed it back to Ash.

"Now you don't have to be near me anymore, I guess you're happy. Now go." Misty continued with her back turned.

Ash sadly walked away. He had failed yet again at telling her how he felt. "If only I had a chance to talk to her without Alex

around." He then remembered something. As he was waking up, he heard something about robbing Professer Oak's lab. "Maybe

I could let Misty cool off, then catch her there. I could have Alex arrested, then say Misty was innocent, then talk to her and

try to convert her from Team Rocket." Pikachu shot one last lightning bolt at Vaporeon and rushed after Ash.

After Pikachu left after Ash, Vaporeon started to jump around chasing Butterfrees. When Ash was out of sight, Alex walked

up to Misty and put his arm around her to try to comfort her. A tear trickled down Misty's face and fell on the ground. Alex

saw the tear and began to really wonder. He realized that maybe he should stay out of the situation until Misty was ready to

tell him what happened. He really liked Misty, and wished he could do something about her sadness. Then, he got an idea...

"Hey Misty, instead of robbing pokemon today, do you wanna take some more time off. Maybe we could see a movie or

something, then got out for dinner later." Alex suggested.

Misty raised her head and looked at Alex. A small smile started to form on her face. "You mean, like going on a date?"

Alex put his hand behind his head and looked around, kind of embarrased. "Uh...I guess so."

Misty threw her arms around him and gave him a hug. "You really know how to lighten up a bad day!" she said happily. "But

aren't we supposed to be stealing pokemon? I mean, we took a break yesterday, and Giovanni won't be happy."

"Well, we can look out for rare pokemon at the beginning of the day. We'll be looking like normal people though, so they won't

reconize us. We can get to Professor Oak's lab tomorrow."

"Ok, sounds good to me."

Misty and Alex packed up their things and headed out toward the town with Vaporeon following. Misty was dressed in shorts

and a yellow sleeveless shirt (like she used to wear). She was dressed basically like she did on her travels with Ash and Brock,

minus the suspenders. Her long red hair was out a ponytail and hung down over her shoulders. Alex wore slightly baggy jeans

and a blue T-Shirt that matched his hair color. They walked into Pallet and ate breakfast. After breakfast, they sat down on a

bench and Misty pulled out a small note pad.

"What's that for?" asked Alex

"Oh, I'm keeping track of some of the pokemon that Giovanni really wants.I wonder if anyone around here has a Golem or a

Scyther."

"I don't know, the trainers around here look pretty weak, like they haven't trained long." Alex observed.

"You're right, but maybe we'll get lucky."

"Hmm, there's a person with a net that just walked out of Viridian forest. Maybe he's returning from a journey, and has good

pokemon."

"Let's ask him what he has. After all, we look like normal trainers now."

Alex and Misty casually walked up to the trainer.

"Ummm, excuse me. We're trainers, and we're wondering what pokemon you have" asked Alex. "And what's with the net?"

"I carry a net because I'm a bug catcher" said the trainer.

"A...b-bug...catcher?" asked Misty

"Yup! I have a Weedle, a Caterpie, and a Beedrill. Wanna see 'em?"

"Um, that will be quite all right" Misty said nervously. I'm not a big fan of bugs.

"Sure, I want to see them" cut in Alex.

"WHAT?!" yelled Misty "You know I hate bugs!"

"But Giovanni would sure like that Beedrill" whispered Alex to Misty.

"Ok, you can show them to Alex" Misty said to the trainer.

The trainer released his 3 pokemon. Misty ran and hid behind Alex.

"Cool, ya wanna see my Gloom?" asked Alex while looking at the Beedrill

"Sure"

"Gloom, go! Sleep powder!"

"Wha-What?" asked the trainer sleepily. "What's going on?"

"I'm going to take that Beedrill off your hands for you" Alex said before the trainer fell asleep. Alex then took Beedrill's

pokeball and returned it. Alex turned to leave, but then looked down.

"Geez, not again." Alex said to himself. He then picked up Misty and Vaporeon who were sleeping soundly, and carried them

away.

After a little while, Vaporeon woke up and yawned. Followed by Misty.

"Sorry again." said Alex

"Vap eon vaporeon vapvap (it's ok, just don't make it a habit)"

"No problem. Did you get the Beedrill?" asked Misty

"Yup"

"Good. I don't see why anyone would want to even own a creepy bug anyway."

"Ah, there not so bad." Alex threw out a pokeball and Caterpie popped out "see?"

Misty shook with fear. "um...um...ya, it's nice. COULD YOU PUT IT AWAY NOW?!"

"But I think it likes you." Alex laughed as he watched Caterpie walking toward Misty with little hearts in it's eyes.

"Go figure, all bugs seem to like me! why me?!". A sweatdrop formed on Misty's forehead as the Caterpie stepped closed.

"Vaporeon, help my out here buddy. Water gun!"

Vaporeon just sat back and giggled. The Caterpie made a running leap onto Misty's arm.

"AHHHHH!!!!"

Vaporeon and Alex fell to the ground laughing. Misty was trying to whack Caterpie off her arm, but it clung to her tightly.

"Get this bug off me right now Alex!!! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!" yelled Misty while running around trying to shake Caterpie off.

"Ok ok. Caterpie return" said Alex

After the whole thing was over, Misty looked at Alex like she was about to explode. "Don't you ever do that again!"

"Haha, but it was funny"

"I don't care if it was funny, I-"

"Wow! what an awsome Scyther!" someone yelled. Misty, Alex, and Vaporeon looked to see a kid admiring a trainer's Scyther.

"Hey, isn't that one of the pokemon Giovanni wants?" asked Alex

"Yeah. Let's get it!"

"How this time?"

"Hmm...I remember a trick in the past that Jessie and James did that almost worked back during the Pokemon League

competition. Be right back."

Misty ran off. Alex waited around. Then nurse Joy walked up to him.

"Hi Alex"

"You know me?"

"I'm Misty in disguise"

"Really? what are you going to do?"

"Watch". Misty/Joy walked up to the trainer with Scyther. "Hey kid, your Scyther looks pretty worn out. Do you want me to

take it back to the pokemon center?"

"Uh, sure. But bring him back soon". The trainer then re-called Scyther

"Sure thing." Misty/Joy said as she took the pokeball. She walked off and went behind a tree and met up with Alex. She

pulled off her mask and handed the pokeball to Alex. "See? simple"

"That was a good idea."

"Vape (yeah)"

"I guess Jessie and James weren't that bad at thinking up ideas". Misty then took off the Nurse Joy costume to reveal her

normal clothes underneath. Alex tossed the pokeball into his backpack.

Alex, Misty, and Vaporeon walked around with no luck finding anymore pokemon worth stealing. They watched in amusement as

Officer Jenny was running around trying to find whoever took Scyther and Beedrill. Luckily, the bug catcher forgot what

Alex and Misty looked like from memory. They got some lunch then continued looking for good trainers. Both started

wondering why they never saw Ash yet because they had seen like everyone in all of Pallet around.

"Want to go see a movie now? we aren't getting anywhere. Let's save the rest for tomorrow" asked Alex

"Ok" smiled Misty

They both then walked to the theater.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

meanwhile-

Ash and Pikachu sat waiting in Professor Oak's Lab waiting. His hand was ready to grab the phone the moment Alex and Misty

came in.

"Pik a pi chu pika (I don't think they'll show)"

"But I know they'll come, they were talking about it"

"pipi pikachu pi (whatever you say Ash)"

"Hey Ash, since you're still here, would you please come help me?" Professor Oak asked

"ok" sighed Ash as he got up, checking the front door before walking off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~2 hours later~

Alex and Misty walked out of the the theater hand-in-hand talking about the movie they had seen. All of a sudden, one of

Misty's pokeball's burst open.

"Vaporeon eon eonvap vapvapor oren Vapon vavap? eon vap vapor! (Who came up with the rule about all pokemon must be in

pokeballs in the theater? It's a stupid rule!)"

"Sorry you had to be kept in there Vaporeon" siad Misty. "Well, you're out now"

"Eonvap vap (Thank goodness)"

"Thanks for taking me to the movie Alex"

"You're welcome Misty. How about we go out for walk, then go out for dinner."

"Sounds good to me"

Misty and Alex started to walk along a path into Viridian forest. Misty looked at the surroundings that she had stayed in so

long ago and sighed. This was the place where her adventures all started. then shee peered through some trees and saw a

familiar fishing spot. Misty started to walk through the trees over to the spot while Alex and Vaporeon followed. Misty stopped

at the bank of the river and sat down against the same tree she sat by many years ago.

"What's so special about this spot?" asked Alex as he sat down beside Misty.

"It's where my adventure traveling with Ash and Brock started."

"What happened to make you start to travel with Ash?"

"Well, I was fishing and got a tug on the line. With much struggle, I fished up Ash and his Pikachu. His Pikachu looked badly

hurt, and I scolded him for taking such poor care of it. He didn't even know what a pokemon center was! I told him where to

go, and suddenly, a flock of angry spearows came into view. He wanted to get away quick, so he stole my bike and pedaled off

into the forest saying "I'll give it back some day!". I finally found my bike all beat up on the ground. I dragged it to the

pokemon center where I found Ash. From then on, I followed him to be re-payed for my bike."

"Wow, that's quite a story. Did you even get a new bike?"

"No"

"That's too bad. Uh, Misty, can I ask you another question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Why'd you leave Ash?" Misty looked away into the flowing river. "The river always changes it's course, so can humans."

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to"

"No, maybe I should tell someone. Maybe I'll feel better. Well, over my travels, I began to like Ash a lot. I always kept in my

emotions, until one day. We got into an argument......[read the prolouge for info]....and then that's what lead me to live in the

forest."

"How could he not like you? He must be really stupid to not see what a wonderful and beautiful person you are"

Misty started to blush. She leaned over and gave Alex a small kiss on the cheek "That was a nice thing to say. Thanks." Then

Misty stood up.

Alex smiled and looked at Misty before getting up. "It's true."

"Vep eon vap-or vap-e vap-e vap... (Misty and Alex sittin in a tree...)"

Misty glared at Vaporeon, then started to walk. The trio walked through the forest for awhile more until deciding to go back

into town for dinner. Misty picked out a seafood resturant, and they ate there.

"So Alex, what was your life before Team Rocket? you know mine." Asked Misty.

"Oh, I was just like any other kid. I wanted to become a pokemon master. I wasn't givin a starting pokemon, just a pokeball.

Oddish was the first pokemon I caught. I started my journey later because my mom kept me in school. When I left, I traveled

around for awhile and got 2 gym badges. Then I was having bad luck. I couldn't get my 3rd badge, and most kids my age had

started training before me and were better. So I quit trying for badges and just would fight my pokemon until they got

stronger. I eventually heard about Team Rocket, and decided to try my luck there. So I followed some members to HQ and

joined."

"Wow, didn't sound like you had too much fun."

"No. Traveling alone isn't fun. You had friends to travel with."

"Yeah, I had fun on my travels. I got to see many places. Mainly because we were always lost." Misty then looked down from

the table at Vaporeon on the floor eating. "Hey Vaporeon, what was your life like? I've never heard of a wild Vaporeon

before, did you have a master?"

[note: I don't really want to type Vaporeon's speech right now, so I'll just go into Vaporeon/Misty talk mode]

=========*On*===================================================

Vaporeon: Yeah, I had a master once.

Misty: Why don't you anymore?

Vaporeon: She abandoned me.

Misty: Why?

Vaporeon: Because I got fed up with staying in a pokeball, and she didn't want me out traveling with her. So she just left me

on the Seafoam Islands.

Misty: That's where I came in.

Vaporeon: Yup. You're better than her. She kept scaring me and her other pokemon into fighting. When we lost a battle, she

wouldn't be nice to us.

===========*Off*================================================

"What'd she say?" Asked Alex

Misty told Alex what Vaporeon said. They all finished their dinner and walked out of the resurant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash and Pikachu were still sitting in Professor Oak's Lab. Professor Oak had run out of things for Ash to do, so Ash and

Pikachu were playing the pokemon card game to relieve themselves of boredom.

"Pi chu Pika! (I win again!)"

"Are you cheating or something Pikachu? That's the 26th game you won!" laughed Ash "Anyway, I'm getting sick of this game"

"Pika chu pikachu? pipi ka kachu pika.(Can we leave yet? Face it, they aren't coming.)"

"But at night is the best time to rob a place. They'll probably come any time now."

~The next day/morning~

Ash sat up and stetched. He had fallen asleep on the floor, and was very uncomfortable.

"Pi pipi kachu (Told you they wouldn't come)" Pikachu said smirking

"Ash, have you been here all night?" Asked Professor Oak as he walked in.

"Yeah"

"Pi chu ka (Let's go Ash)"

"Maybe they'll come today"

"Pika kachu pipipi ka pik ka(Yeah, that's what you'll be saying next week)"

"Very funny, Lets just wait one more day buddy. They wouldn't leave without coming here."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misty stared up at the top of the trees from inside her sleeping bag. Today would be the day they'd go rod Professor Oak's

lab. She got up and woke up Vaporeon and Alex then started to pack up camp. Within minutes, the trio was ready to go.

"Wait a minute Alex. Before we go, we should let our pokemon out to excercise. They've not been out in awhile."

"Ok, I will too. Growlithe, Gloom, Golbat, Machoke , Caterpie go!"

"Staryu, Starmie, Horsea, Articuno, Psyduck go!"

The pokemon ran/flew around for awhile until being re-called. Then the trio walked back into Pallet to go to Professor Oak's

lab.
