The Triangle of Love Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon. For the safety of me and my friends, I will use fake names and I will alter personalities/ages. I own the card game Pocket. Chapter 1:Pocket Cards Ash/Gary/Misty:15 Brock/Tracey:19 Me:16 ((Pokemon translation)) Thoughts are in (TexT) (:TexT=Author's note:) **Time Change** ***FLASHBACK*** Obviously a flashback ***END*** End flashback Ash walks to the hotel and lets himself in. He goes into the bedroom to say goodnight to Misty and sees her and Battery kissing on the bed. Ash: Misty?! Misty: Ash?! Battery:... Misty:Ash! I-it's not what you think! Ash just stands there stunned for three seconds then runs out the door crying. Misty:Ash! Misty follows him. Ash is running outside in the thunderstorm. He hops on a bike and rides away. Misty runs out the door. Misty:Ash... **20 Minutes Later** Ash pulls into a town called PocketTown. He abandons the bike and runs into a store called The Pocket Store. He walks up to the guy behind the counter. Ash: Hi Mr.... He looks at a tattoo an his arm. Ash:Bubba. What do you sell here? Bubba: Pocket TCG cards. Ash: Oh, cool. Bubba:Urh. Ash walks around the store and notices some packs of cards have a Ho-oh on them. He reads the label: Ho-oh starter deck! For a limited time. He grabs that deck and brings it over to Bubba. Ash: I'd like to buy this. Bubba: $10.00 Ash hands him the money and leaves with the deck. It's stopped raining so he sits on a wet bench and takes out the cards: 2 Ho-oh Cards(One of which Ash decides to use as a main card), 5 Charmanders, 5 Squirtles, 5 Bulbasaurs, 2 Charmeleon, 2 Wartortle, 2 Ivysaur, 1 Volcano, 1 Sea, 1 Forest, 2 Energy Flow, 1 Super Volcano, and 10 Fire Energy. Ash: (I wonder what these energys are for.) Ash gets up and remebering Misty and Battery, gets mad and decides not to go back yet. He walks around town until he sees a big billboard that says Pocket Tournament! Today! At 4:00! At The Pocket Store! Ash: Hey, I was just there! I'll go back to sign up. Ash runs back to the building and when he gets there, the place is crowded with people. Ash signs up and walks waround until he finds an empty tower. He climbs up and waits for someone. When someone finally arrives, the game starts. Person: My name's Weevil and my bug pokemon will crush you! Ash: Wait! Before we start tell me what the energys are for. Weevil: Well, when one of your pokemon dies, you get an energy on your main pokemon. When all ten energys are on, you lose and forfeit your main card! Ash: What! Forfeit my main card? Weevil: Yes, it's in the official tournament rulebook. Ash: Ok, let's begin! Weevil: Heads or Tails? Ash: Heads! Weevil: Ok. Computer, initiate flip sequence blue chooses heads. While the giant holographis coin flips, Ash looks at his tower. It's blue. Weevil's is red. Computer:Heads. Blue Attacks first. Weevil: Ok! Lets play! After 7 turns, both players have 9 energys, and it's Ash's turn to Defend. Ash:(Ok, all I need to do is draw an energy flow to end this game.) He draws three cards. Ash: (Yes!) Ok, Weevil, your level 10 Beedrill is mine! I play this energy flow! He places his energy flow and a black hole appears. The black hole shoots an energy symbol for every energy card Weevil puts down. Weevil: Urh... The Beedrill card holder flips over on Weevil’s side. Then on Ash’s side, the main pokemon space flips over and the Beedrill appears. Ash: Yes! Ash puts the Beedrill in his deck and climbs down the tower. He's confronted by a man in a business suit. Man: I saw you play. Ash: Really. Man: I though your performance was spectacular. How long have you been playing? Ash: 1 day. Man: Really? Wow! What's your name? I'm Kyle Morray. . Ash: Hi. Wanna duel? Kyle: Not at the moment. Here, take this. Call me. I have a job opening for a tournament leader. Bye. He hands Ash a card and walks away. Ash: (Weird.) Misty walks into the building and spots Ash. Misty: Ash! Ash: (Great!) What do you want? Misty: Listen, Ash. Me and Battery were just talking. Ash: Right. And how close do people's lips have to be to talk? Misty: Ash, I didn't know you liked me. Ash: I-I don't! Misty: Then why did you cry and run away when me and Battery were kissing? Are you jealous? Ash: We should go outside. People are staring. They go outside to talk. Misty: Yes or no? Ash: Yes or no what? Misty: Do you like me? Ash:... Misty: Ash, answer me. Right then, Battery came out of the shadows and put his hand on Ash's shoulder. Battery: Ash... Ash instinctively turned around and knocked him out. Misty: Ash! So you are jealous. Ash: Crap. I'm so sorry Misty! I didn't know it was him. He snuck up on me! Misty runs over to Battery and holds his hand. Misty: Battery... Ash: Misty I love you! Misty: What? Ash: ( I can't believe I said that.) Misty: Ash, did you say you love me? Ash just stands there, sweating. Misty: Well? Battery starts to wake up. Misty: Oh, you're coming to. Battery: Hey Misty. Ash: Hey Battery. Battery scrambles to his feet. Battery: Get away from me, you psycho! He runs past the town gates. Misty follows him. Ash just goes to a hotel and checks in. He enters his room and turns on the T.V. A special about claustrophobic pokemon. Ash: Urh. Wow, I'm starting to sound like the people in this town. He turns off the T.V. He decides he needs to talk to someone, anyone. Then he remembers something. He takes out his wallet and dials a number. A girl's voice answers. Girl: Hello? Ash: Hey, Erika, it's Ash. Erika: Ash! How ya doing? Long time, no hear. Ash: Where you been lately? I...I need someone to talk to. Erika: Ok, I'm in Pockettown, where are you? Ash: Me too! What a coincedence. Where are you staying? Erika: The Pocket Hotel. Ash:... Erika: Ash? Are you there? Ash: I'm creeped out. I'm staying there too! Erika: No way! Ash: What room? Erika: 347 Ash was scared. He was in room 348. He knocked on the wall real loud. He heard Erika's voice through the wall and the phone. Erika: Stuff it, creep! Sorry Ash, somebody was knocking on the wall. Ash: You think I'm a creep? Erika: No way! That was you? Ash: Ya. Can you come over? Erika: Sure be right there. Erika comes over and they start talking. Erika: So Misty just ran off with Battery, huh? Ash: Ya. Erika: You know what, it's getting kind of late. Maybe I should stay. Ash: But you're staying in the room next door. Erika winks at him. Erika: Ya, but we were once boyfriend and girlfriend and... She winks at him again. Ash: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. (:He's a little slow, isn't he?:) Ash smiles and starts to get undressed. Erika does the same thing. They climb into bed an turn out the lights. For most of the night all you can hear is the bed squeeking and heavy breathing. When Ash wakes up the next morning, he feels a LOT better than he did before Erika came over. He looks over at Erika and smiles at her when she wakes up. Erika looks at him and leans in close to his ear. Erika(Whispering): Thanks for last night. Ash puts his arm around her and she cuddles up to him. There's a knock at the door and a voice yells at him. Voice: Ash, let me in! Ash: Uh-oh. Erika: Who's that? Ash: I dunno. Get dressed. Ash and Erika hurriedly get dressed and Ash answers the door. Ash: Misty. He said her name like most people would say vomit or maggot. Misty: I take it your not glad to see me. Ash: Obviously. What do you want? Misty just replies in laughter. Ash: What's so funny? Misty: Why do you have girl clothes on? Ash: Huh? He looks down and realizes he's wearing Erika's clothes. Ash: Hold on. He closes the door and switches clothes with Erika. He opens the door. Misty: That's better. Can I come in? Ash: Ya. Misty walks into the room. Misty: Erika? Erika: Hi... Ok that ends part two. In the next chapter: Misty finds out what happened the night before and walks away from Ash. Then, 2 months later, Misty meets Ash in a supermarket and Ash finds out a very important thing.
