Poor Brock and Mina! Both rejected and humiliated. Would they have the courage to find love again? And what about Jigglypuff? Could the wandering pokemon search be over? Not until a certain destiny changed the lives of these three heroes.

My Destiny
Part 1: A Problem with Love
By Star Mystic

Four friends were enjoying their walking tour along the bustling and noisy street of Crystalline City. A famous city in the world filled with impressive and majestic crystal structured buildings. Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu decided to take a short break after a long, tiring journey. They were happily chatting and laughing over some of their silly adventures until Brock had stopped walking. He had just stopped two single pretty girls heading on his way. This was his big chance!

"What's wrong Brock?" Misty asked, sounding concerned.

"Yeah, Brock. Why did you stopped all of a sudden? We were getting to the good part of the story!" Ash laughed.

"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu nodded.

"Um...Would you guys mind if you can spare me a minute?" Brock asked. "There's something I gotta do first." He ran off leaving his friends looking surprised.

"Where is he off to?" Ash asked, looking confused.

"Pika! Pi!" Pikachu just shrugged.

"I think I know why." Misty declared. Her eyes following Brock approaching the two girls. "Oh no!" Misty groaned, shaking her head. "Here, we go again!"

"Hello ladies!" Brock greeted warmly, smiling. "You see, I'm lost. Would you mind telling me where can I find Quartz gym?"

"Sure, we don't mind!" The two girls responded happily.

"Thanks." Brock said gratefully. "While you give me the directions. Maybe you girls might like to hang out with me for a while or so?" He added, looking hopeful.

"Um..." The girls said with uncertainty, backing away. "Sorry, we changed our minds. We don't talk to strangers." With their backs turned, they left Brock with his mouth hanging open.

"Can you believe that guy! The nerve of him asking us out?!" The blond girl exclaimed.

"Like, have you ever seen such a total loser in your life?!" The redhead girl agreed. She stuck her tongue out and they both giggled.

Apparently, Brock's friends heard them and didn't look too happy about it. Misty's eyes narrowed as the girls disappeared from her view.

"Brock, are you okay?" Ash asked quietly, approaching him.

"Pika! Pi!" Pikachu said gently, patting Brock for comfort.

"Don't listen to them Brock! They're just a bunch of snobs!" Misty said angrily.

"Yeah, I know..." Brock sighed, placing his hands inside his pockets. "Come on, we better find that gym ourselves." He kicked a pebble on the ground as he walked away...

Curious spectators gathered in a circle watching a nasty confrontation between two angry girls held outside the Juuban High School. A spiteful, jealous rival was accusing Mina stealing her boyfriend, Tyron. Mina was patiently trying to explain to the stubborn girl about her close friendship with Tyron. Stubborn girl refused to listen anymore and Mina was just having a headache from too much talking. She was glad that Amy, Lita and Serena were there to control the annoying crowd around her.

"Callie, for the thousand time. Tyron and I ARE JUST friends!!! Why can't you get that thick head of yours?!" Mina said angrily.

"If you're smart to know that I'M HIS girlfriend. Then you know better to stay away from him!!"Callie yelled.

"Fine! Have it your way then!!" Mina shouted back. "I hope you and Tyron will be happy. Although, I really feel sorry for him having an overbearing girlfriend. If I were HIM, I'd dumped you in a second."

Leaving the speechless Callie behind, she pushed her way through the crowd. No one said anything as she and her friends reached the school gate. Mina took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

"Thank you guys. I really appreciated that." Mina said gratefully.

"No, problem." Amy replied.

"That was some guts to stand up against that witch, Mina." Serena said proudly.

"You should have given her what she deserves and that two timing boyfriend of hers!" Lita said angrily, punching her left knuckle. "A punch in the face would cure them!"

"You guys were right!" Mina admitted miserably. "I should have left him alone. I can't help it being such a nice guy and all. I don't know what he sees in her anyway..."

"Oh Mina," Serena said gently. "Don't be too harsh on yourself. You'll meet the right guy. There's plenty of fish in the sea."

"Look the guy's not worth moaning over. Forget him!" Lita advised. Amy nodded in agreement.

"You guys just don't understand do you!!" Mina protested. "You don't even realize how lucky you are to have great guys. At least you have someone to love. What about me? When is that going to happen? I used to believe about finding true love. But I guess that only happens in fairy tales." Silence fell among them. Her friends couldn't respond back. They weren't used to see Mina looking upset this much.

"Mina..." Serena said gently, reaching out to her.

"Look, it's okay..." Mina said, waving her off. "I was just talking nonsense. Being over dramatic about this whole thing..." She laughed off, pretending not too show her emotions. "Look, why don't I see you guys at Rei's temple for the meeting?" She announced suddenly. "I just remember I have to meet Artemis at the control center. You know helped him search for Chaos."

"Okay... See you." Her friends said reluctantly. They watched Mina moved away, waving goodbye to them. They turned around, giving each other sympathetic glances.
