Chapter 5 - Mystery Guest - Revealed
A man wearing a long, white shirt decorated with a mass of blue around the middle and cut so that long pieces were missing to leave a zigzag pattern. He was also dressed in black jeans and he adjusted with white flat hat so that it was lop-sided across his face. Some of his blue wavy hair escaped the grasp of his hat and swayed above his shoulders. He grinned to his audience at their reaction to his arrival. He altered the microphone so that he could speak through it on a low level and bent down on one knee. He opened his arms to his audience.
“My gracious guests, welcome to this delightful party where we can assemble and commute with one another. I hope that you are enjoying yourselves and I would like to host the rest of the evening with music and merry dancing. I wish for you all to participate so that we can all appreciate the master of one of the performing arts. As I always say to friends – old and new – all I can offer you is dignity and respect and hope that you will repay me with the same hospitality. Thank you and good evening.”
He bowed to the audience and rose to a deafening roar of applause and shouts. A large group of girls who had been standing near the front jumped up and down with hearts in their eyes and squealed with delight to see their idol. They begged him for his autograph and produced paintings in front of his face asking for them to be signed.
“That’s Wallace!” Misty whispered in awe.
She couldn’t believe her eyes. May, standing next to her, was gaping at the figure that had just stepped down from the stage. The group of girls surrounded him and screamed in his face as the man who was on stage earlier whispered in Wallace’s ear. They looked over towards Misty quickly and Wallace nodded to the announcer who handed him a microphone. Max, who had made his way over to the others, started talking intelligently about Wallace and his Pokemon. May was holding a muffin and was about to take a bite to relief herself of her shock but Max continued talking. Having been irritated by her brother enough already, May glared evilly at Max and stuffed the muffin in his mouth.
“How come you didn’t say anything about knowing who Wallace was before?” Ash asked Max, annoyed and disappointed at the same time.
Max squealed and mumbled desperately as he couldn’t get the muffin out of his mouth.
May sighed and shook her head. “He said because you never asked him before.” May said before running over to her table to grab another muffin – whether to use it as back up against Max or to eat it was unknown.
Ash watched her go, stunned by how she understood her brother’s mumbles. Someone tugged on the arm of his costume.
“Ash, look.” Misty said closely beside him. “I think Wallace might make another speech.”
They watched the stage as Wallace stood back on it.
“Friends, before I depart I would like to introduce someone to you and give you a well-known piece of advise. Now, children are often mistaken to be helpless and clueless to the world around them. However, when they reach adolescence, they often show more of their courage and bravery that might have been concealed from the world. Children, adults and teenagers are all of the same intelligence but in different forms. Some have more; some may have less but only in different areas of knowledge and wisdom or even common sense. But today, one lady displayed courage beyond her years when she rescued her friend from drown at the cost of her own.”
Misty blushed in the audience as he winked at her. Ash saw her reaction and had a confused but irritated expression upon his face.
“So what I am trying to say…”
He showed the crowd his flat, open palms then twirled them around each other to reveal a pokeball where he called upon the Pokemon inside. A Wishcash was released and he picked it up in his arms.
“Is that appearances…” he continued.
His Wishcash let loose a wall of water in from of itself and Wallace. It turned into a whirlpool that surrounded both of them and then disappeared – along with Wallace and Wishcash. The audience were amazed. They looked around the round to see where he had gone. A spotlight shone upon Ash and Misty who looked up at the light and then turned around. They jumped in surprise to see Wallace behind them.
“Can be deceiving.” Wallace finished to yet another very strong applause.
Wallace grabbed hold of Misty’s wrist and led her up to the stage. They stood before the microphone and Wallace put his arm around Misty’s back.
“My dear guests!” Wallace continued again. “I would like to introduce you to this charming and elegant young lady dressed as an Azumarill…” he bent down to her and she whispered her name in his ear. “Misty! From Cerulean City!” he shouted loudly.
The crowd applauded once again and smiled politely at Misty. She was burning red from embarrassment and was as stiff as a piece of wood.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for your attention and I hope you enjoy the rest of the party.”
He clicked his fingers and the band started playing a fast-paced but calming tune. Wallace helped Misty down from the stage and started talking to her as May and Ash ran over to her – followed by a struggling Max at a longer distance.
“So you are from the Sensational Cerulean City?” Wallace asked Misty courteously. “Where the birth of water trainers began?”
She blushed at his kind words.
“Yeah,” she replied bashfully.
“Are you here to watch my demonstration tomorrow then?” he continued.
“Yeah, I can’t wait to see it!” she responded brightly. “I think it would be great to watch your techniques and to learn from an experienced gym leader like you!”
He chuckled at her comment. “Well I obviously can’t be ask skilled as you are! I don’t think my Pokemon respond to me as well as I have seen yours do! Oh that reminds me…” he turned only to almost bump into Ash and May.
“Hello, are you friends of Misty?” Wallace asked them.
“Yes.” The two replied in unison.
Wallace looked at Ash more closely.
“Ahhh, you must be the young man that Misty rescued. Are you her relative, friend or boyfriend?”
Ash wailed in his face in surprise and his cheeks rose in colour. Misty was also tinted a glowing red and screamed at the question Wallace had asked him. May laughed.
“They’re just friends who have known each other for a long time.” May answered for them.
Wallace smiled knowingly. He pulled out the microphone that he had attached to his back and spoke to the audience once again.
“My apologies guests but I would appreciate it if we could share the remainder of this event with our Pokemon. Thank you for your humble understanding.”
He replaced the microphone behind his back and many flashes of white light appeared around the room. All different types of Pokemon rested on the ground, hovered in the air or assembled themselves upon their masters’ shoulders. Pikachu hopped on to Ash’s shoulder once again as May and Misty released their Pokemon.
LuvDisc jumped up and down on the floor waiting to be picked up by Misty and Beautifly hovered by May’s shoulder. Misty picked up her Pokemon in her hands and brought it up close to her face.
“Hi, cutie!” she cooed lovingly to it. “How are you today?”
LuvDisc jumped up and down in her hands and kissed her on the nose. Misty looked surprised then smiled cheerfully at it.
“That’s a very nice LuvDisc you have their Misty.” Wallace said to her.
She faced him and smiled.
“Actually I caught this cutie pie when I rescued Ash. It kept swimming around us when I placed Ash on Gyarados and when I threw a pokeball at it, it didn’t struggle.”
Wallace grinned knowingly at the trainer and her Pokemon.
“Well it must know that there is an unbreakable bond between you and your friend then.” He smirked at her confused reaction.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“Yeah, you’re not making any sense.” Ash cut in.
Wallace shook his head while grinning.
“It doesn’t matter. You’ll understand one day.” Wallace replied simply.
He bowed before Misty as a new slow song started up.
“Would you like to dance?”
Misty was in shock and stood staring at him. May noticed her reaction and waved a hand in front of her face. LuvDisc, who was still sitting in Misty’s hands, looked up at May angrily and squirted her in the face with water. May blinked unsurely and stood still.
“May would you hold LuvDisc for me?” Misty asked rapidly and gently placed her Pokemon in May’s hands before she could reply.
Wallace took Misty’s hand and led her to the dance floor where they began dancing. Wallace had one arm around Misty’s waist and the other in her hand while Misty’s other hand was on his shoulder.
LuvDisc face May and grinned maliciously up at her. It puffed out its cheeks, ready to launch a water gun at her when May screamed and threw it into Ash’s hands. She ran away to the other end of the room where Brock was trying to charm some more girls. Ash stared at the LuvDisc in his hands that was dancing happily.
“I really don’t understand you.” He said to the little creature. “And I don’t understand them either.” he continued and watched Wallace and Misty dancing.
LuvDisc looked at Wallace and Misty and jumped up and down in horror. It pouted its cheeks as Ash looked unsurely towards Misty. She caught his eye and smiled at him which he returned as Wallace spun her around on the spot.
End Chapter 5
I hope you like this chapter! I know its a bit short but I plan to get Chapter 6 up for you soon as an apology for waiting for so long and a thank you for being your perseverance.
I hope I am not discouraging you from reading this because of the delays this week and I hope that you enjoy reading the future chapters to come! Please keep reviewing as I'm always interested in knowing what you think of it!

IMO, I think Max would be too young to go to the dance. Think about his age for a sec, and you'd probably understand.
Yeah, you're probably right but it's more of a party with a bit of dancing in but I know what you mean.
Thanks again everybody and please keep reviewing!
