Misty was pacing in her evil lair. Her Pokémon were guarding the prisoners. The prisoners where being kept in a cage above some water. Misty hoped that if they managed to escape, they would fall into the water and die.

Misty frowned. What if Ash didn't bring her a new bike? What then? Her plan would be ruined. Everything she worked for would be gone. She shook her head. It would work! Ash would pay! And if he didn't... Misty would kill his mom and Professor Oak.

Misty smiled. This wasn't terrible or cliche at all!
