Part 3 Hidden love by Aalitichi
“ LADIES AND GENTELMAN, TRAINERS OF ALL AGES WELCOME TO THE ALIVON TOURNAMENT OPENING CEREMONIES” a loud voice roared.
The crowd broke out in loud cheering and applause.
“ GET READY FOR A NIGHT FILLED WITH ENTERTAIMENT!!!! WE HAVE THE BIGGEST MAGIC SHOW IN THE WHOLE REGION, PLUS WE WILL BE INTRODUCING OUR TOURNAMENT HOSTESS TONIGHT!!!!!”.
Loud hooting, cheering and whistles could be heard throughout the crowd of about 75000 people.
“ BUT BEFORE THIS, LET’S GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE TRAINERS WHO WILL BE COMPETING IN THIS TOURNAMENT. HERE THEY ARE!!!!”
The huge doors, that separated the competitors and the stadium swung open.
Trainers of all ages could be seen walking into the stadium. Including a tall, handsome black- haired young man with a pikachu on his shoulder.
“ Wow, Pikachu this is the biggest stadium I’ve ever been in” Ash exclaimed looking around.
A very pretty blond girl in a very revealing pink gown caught his eye. It was Catherina. She smiled and waved at him. He gave her a lopsided smile and a wink.
Pikachu rolled his eyes. Ash looked the other way to see if there were other familiar faces, especially if there was a certain redheaded girl in the crowd.
The trainers walked around the stadium and then they formed a half circle in front of the stage on the right side of the stadium.The crowd was still applauding.
“ BEFORE WE BEGIN WITH THE PROGRAM THE ALIVON NATIONAL ANTHEM WILL BE SUNG.” The loud voice bellowed.
Loud music could be heard coming from very large speakers as a plump man took the stage and started singing a song in, what sounded like, Greek.
Ash looked behind him at where Catherina was sitting. She was playing with a long lock of golden- blond hair.
She felt eyes watching her. She looked up and smiled when she saw that it was Ash watching her.
Ash couldn’t help letting his eyes wander over her body.
“ Woaw, why didn’t I take a piece of that when I had the chance!!” he thought mentally kicking himself for not going all the way with her.
His eyes ran over the mass of people, but he couldn’t see Misty any ware. “ Where is she, I was sure she’d be here!!” Ash muttered under his breath to Pikachu. “ Pika?” ( who?) Pikachu asked.
“ Misty” Ash answered. “ And I don’t see Brock either.”
“ Pikachu pika chu pik pika. Chu pikachu pi pi chupi pika pikachu” ( Maybe you don’t recognize them. After all it’s been a long time since you’ve seen them)
“ Yeah too long….”
Flashback
“ It’s kind of weird, huh?” Ash asked sadly.
“ What’s weird?” Misty asked tossing her hair over her shoulder.
“ Brock leaving us.”
“ He’ s done it before” she replied.
“ But not because he wanted to” Ash answered back looking at the fourteen year old girl.“ I guess he just got sick of us.”
“ Now Ash you know that’s not true.” Misty said caressing his boyish face. “He just….he just needs to pursue his own dreams. It’s not like he doesn’t like us” She put her arm around his shoulder and rested her forehead against his cheek.
“ He can pursue his dreams with us by his side, Misty”
“ No, he can’t Ash. Do you really think he can open a breeding shop while traveling” she answered.
Ash frowned and looked at the portraits in the pokemoncentre ‘s lounge area.
“ O god you are making this really hard for me” Misty sighed.
“ Why am I making this hard for you. It’s not your fault Brock left”
“ I know, but… the thing is…… I’ m planning to leave too”
She buried her face in the couch’s pillow not wanting to see the expression on Ash’s face.
There was silence. Misty looked up and what she saw next broke her heart.
Ash was crying. He wasn’t even trying to hold back tears.
He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and turned his face away from Misty.
Misty touched his arm
“ Don’t touch me!!!!” he cried out. “ Don’t you ever touch me, you bitch……. you egoistic bitch”
“ Ash please” Misty said on the verge of tears. “ Please don’ t do this.”
He let out a sob.
“ Please, Ash you gotta understand. I have to do this. It’s not like I don’t want to travel with you. I’ve grown up and I have my own dreams to go after.” She said tears streaming over her face.
He turned his face towards her. “ I can help you with it you don’t have to leave me!!”
“No Ash. I’ll only get in the way of your dream” Misty said wiping a tear away. She cupped his face with her hands and rested her forehead against his. Ash calmed down a bit.
“ When are you leaving?” he asked not removing his forehead from hers.
My suitcase is over there. I’ll be taking the bus in a few minutes.
“ O” Ash stated, sad that Misty was leaving so soon.
“ Ash, I really have to go.” Misty said standing up. “ Will you say good bye to Pikachu for me??”
Ash nodded.
“ Can I walk you to the bus stand?” Ash asked hopefully.
“ I think it’s better if you don’t. It will be too hard for me” Misty replied. Ash nodded.
“ Bye” Misty whispered
“ Bye” he mouthed back.
Misty picked up her suitcase and made advancement towards the door.
“ Misty wait!!!!!”
Misty turned around and watched Ash run towards her.
“ What is it …” she started. Ash pressed his lips on hers.
They broke away after a few seconds.
“ What was that for” Misty asked flabbergasted. She touched her lips.
“Just a thank you” Ash said with a small smile on his face. His eyes were still puffy from all the crying. “ You know, for helping me all these years.”
He leaned in and gave her another peck on the lips.
Misty giggled and started to cry again.
“ I’ll miss you so much” she said hugging him.
“ Better hurry up, you don’t wanna miss the bus” he said hugging her back.
“Best friends??” she asked
He smiled and replied: “For life…”
“ Ow, what!!!!” an irritated Ash yelled over the loud music, making the trainers around him look at him in annoyance.
“ Pika chu, pikachu chu pika pikachu” ( Pay attention, the anthem is almost over)
The massive man let out the last very high notes and bowed. The crowd cheered loudly as the man left the stage.
“ LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. IT IS THE TIME WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET THE HOSTESS!!!!”
A tall, slender girl in a very revealing white dress took the stage. Her red hair cascaded to her backside in loose curls. She looked very pretty indeed.
Like a Greek goddess in Ash’s opinion. Ash’s jaw dropped in amazement.
“ She’ s so beautiful.” He said in awe. “You’re right, though Pikachu she does look kinda familiar.”
The hostess (Misty) smiled nervously and looked around in admiration at the very large crowd in front of her, well aware that all eyes were on her or better said on her cleavage.
She held the mike under her mouth and yelled in a very cheery voice: “ How you doin’ , Alivon.”
The crowd was so loud that her yell was barely heard. Whistles and loud smooches could be heard throughout the mass of people. Misty waited for the noise to die down a bit before continuing.
“My name is Mistara Waterflower .I’m from Cerulean city and I’m going to be your hostess for this tournament.” She shouted excitedly.
Ash’ s jaw dropped.
“ Pikachu chu pi!!!” (I knew it!!) Pikachu exclaimed.
“ It is such a honor to be hear!!!!” Misty hollered.
Ash didn’t hear this, he was temporarily deaf.
“I don’t remember Misty being this beautiful…….. O
my gosh……… I’m falling in love again.” He thought to himself as he saw
Misty grin radiantly.
He couldn’t help but find every move she made, every feature on her flawless face invigorating.
Pikachu pinched him again and he snapped out of it looking
at Pikachu in frustration.
“ Pika chupik pikachu chu pikachu chupi pik pikapi pi chu pikachu pikachu. Pikachu pika pi pika pi chupi pikachu pika pik chupi” (If you keep looking at her like that you’ll burn a whole in her face. Besides, she might say something important.) Pikachu stated.
“ Each of the participating trainers will come on the stage and they will introduce themselves to me. You have to state the town or city where you are from and why you have joined this tournament. But each trainer has only 1 minutes to do this, so we can stay on schedule.” Misty let out smiling.
“ O my god, Pikachu. I forgot about that……. How does my hair look, do I smell ok, I should have worn another jacket.” Ash muttered nervously.
“ Pika chu pik chupi” ( You look fine) Pikachu chuckled. “ Pikachu pi pika, Pikachupi.” (Remember, it’s just Misty)
“ Yeah, a very hot Misty.” Ash murmured.
“ Alissa Agarata, please come on the stage” Misty let out in a very cheery voice.
A black- haired girl no more than 12 took the stage. She walked over to where Misty was standing and shook her hand shyly. Misty handed her a mike.
“ Hi, I’m Alissa and I’m from Celadon city, this is the second tournament I am competing in and I’ve joined, because my brother once competed in this tournament too”.
“ That’s nice, thank you Alissa.” Misty said in a sweet voice smiling at the girl. The girl shook Misty’s hand again and left the stage.
“I’ve got a long way to go” Misty thought to herself.
“ Ok, next Adam Borter” Misty yelled into the mike. The blond guy Ash met earlier that day went on to the stage. He walked very conceitedly to where Misty was standing.
He took hold of her hand and planted a kiss on it. Misty giggled nervously.
Ash could feel his blood boil. He couldn’ t help but be really jealous, not only because the guy kissed Misty, but also because of the way Misty was looking at the rather good- looking young man.
She smiled and blushed as Adam winked at her. “ Wow, he’s so hot” she thought.
“ Hi, sweetheart. I’m Adam, I’m from Origia town and I’ m here, because I could sense my soul mate was in Alivon” he chuckled arrogantly and he winked yet again. ( Don’t you hate these kinda guys)
Misty giggled. Ash rolled his eyes. “Misty was always a sucker for these kinda things” he muttered under his breath.
“ Okay, thank you Adam” Misty giggled. Adam was still holding her hand.
“ Let go you moron” Ash muttered looking at Adam furiously. Adam then leaned in and gave Misty a peck on the cheek and he left the stage grinning broadly.
Misty blushed, Ash scowled.
Right after that, the ceremony was abruptly interrupted by Carlos. He leapt on to the stage and whispered in Misty ear: “ Remember, you are not aloud to be affectionate with any competitor, Misty. Don’t forget.”
The trainers, who went after Adam were less affectionate with Misty. But there were a lot of male trainers that were definitely in to her.
A freckled boy of about 15 was so mitten with Misty he couldn’t remember the name of his own town. His mother had to run up the stage to tell him that he was from Voridion.
Ash began to feel butterflies as his name drew closer.
Misty looked at the trainers standing in front of the stage, remembering that a certain black- haired young man was competing in this tournament as well.
Finally Tori Jillano left the stage.
Misty looked down at her list. She went silent for a while and then she said barely above a whisper: “ …Ashton Ketchum…..”
There wasn’t any movement in the circle of trainers. Some of the trainers stretched their necks to see if this so- called Ashton Ketchum was making any progress towards the stage. But nothing.
“ Ashton Ketchum” Misty repeated loudly.
It was as if the massive crowd could sense the tension in Misty’s voice, because the whole stadium went silent.
“ Ashton Ketchum, please take the stage.” Misty repeated yet again.
She then noticed some movement in the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw a tall, athletic- build, spiky haired young man walking towards the stage. He was very handsome. He looked more like a model you would find in a Ralph Lauren add, then a trainer. He had a pikachu on his right shoulder.
He walked on to the stage staring everywhere but at her.
Finally when he was inches away from her he looked at her. He couldn’t help letting his eyes stroll over her body, taking in every inch of her, not noticing that she was doing the same thing. He observed her body in the very revealing white dress. He looked at her rather plump breast and her tight stomach and he grinned slyly. He then looked into her aqua blue eyes.
“ Yep, same old Misty” he thought.
“ O, wow” she whispered accidentally into the mike.
The crowd broke out in laughter.
“SORRY GUYS, I GUESS SHE LIKES THE TALL DARK AND HANDSOME TYPE!!!!” the loud voice bellowed. The crowd burst out laughing.
Misty blushed embarrassedly and Ash chuckled nervously.
The noise died down a bit, the crowd was wondering what would happen next.
“ Hi” Ash said blushing furiously. He took a hold of Misty hand and shook it. “ I’m Ash, I’m from Pallet town and I’m here because I need this trophy to become a pokemon master.”
The crowd clapped energetically as he said this. “ Wow, that’s great, Ash” she said blushing.
“ Pikachupi!!” (Misty!!) Pikachu let out happily. He jumped in her arms. Misty giggled. “You have a very cute Pikachu” she said pretending she didn’t know Pikachu, nor Ash.
Ash frowned at this.
Misty let her mike “accidentally” fall and both she and Ash bent down to pick it up. She took this opportunity to whisper something to Ash.
“ Please meet me at the back of the stage two ours after the ceremony. We need to talk,” she whispered. Ash nodded. They both got up.
“ It was nice meeting you, Ash” she said a little to cheery in the mike. They shook hands again smiling at each other and Ash left the stage.
“ Pika chu pi pikachu” (See that wasn’t so bad) Pikachu said happily. “ Pi pika pikachu chu pika chupi pikachu?” (But why did she act like she didn’t know us?)
“ I don’t know Pikachu” Ash said a little mad at this. He walked back to where he stood just before the brief encounter with Misty.
He could feel two eyes watching him and he was pretty sure whom it was. Catherina looked at him with a slightly disgusted look.
“ Did she notice that I was checking Misty out???” Ash thought nervously.
He waved at her, but she gave him the coldest look imaginable and she turned her head.
“ Pi pika chu pikachu” (You really screwed things up) Pikachu said looking at the angry blond girl as Ash turned his back to her to watch what was happening on the stage.
“ Pikachu, I’m a 19 year old boy, it would be wrong not to look.” Ash whispered feeling guiltiness welling up inside him.
“Hello, I’m Rory Quince, I’m from Sorcerer city and I’m here because my mom pursued me to join this tournament.”
Misty wasn’t paying attention to what the brown- haired boy in front of her was saying, she was to busy thinking about Ash and how good he looked in his black jacket. She sighed.
“ Uh, miss.” The boy muttered.
“Oh, yes, yes. Thank you Lory. Good luck in the tournament” Misty said snapping out of it. The crowd broke out in laughter again.
“ It’s Rory, miss,” the boy said blushing. “ Right, Rory, thank you Rory, good luck in the tournament.”
They shook hands and Rory left the stage.
“ O my gosh I need to snap out of it” Misty inwardly told herself.
She looked at Carlos who was standing behind her at the left side of the stage.
“ Calm down, honey” he mouthed to her. Misty nodded and looked down at her list.
Misty took a deep breath and called out the next name.
Everything went flawless and smoothly after that, although Misty kept throwing glances at the circle of trainers just to get a glimpse of Ash.
Finally the last trainer left the stage.
“ I have enjoyed meeting all of you, I wish you guys good luck in the tournament” Misty shouted jolly and she left the stage.
The trainers walked around the stadium one more time and then they took their seats. Ash took a seat as far away from Catherina as possible in the front row. He was trying not to look in her direction, but failed miserably as he often looked at were she was sitting and caught her eye.
“GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE HOSTESS. DON’T WORRY SHE’LL BE BACK LATER !!!! “ The loud voice roared. The crowd clapped enthusiastically
“ NOW, LET’S ALL GIVE A BIG WELCOME TO THE ALIVON CHEERLEADER CREW!!!!!!!”
A hundred very pretty girls in matching, short, pink and black outfits took the stage.
Ash went in girl- crazed mode.
“ Pikachu pi chupi pika chu pi, pika chu” (This really is your day, isn’t it) pikachu acknowledged. Ash didn’t hear this he was to busy gawking at the pretty woman on the stage, who were shaking every part of their body.
The girls walked of stage and started dancing in front of the crowd. One of them danced in front of Ash, making sexy faces and winking occasionally.
She was even bold enough to give him a little lap- dance.
The people around him started whooping. Ash just grinned and enjoyed the moment.
The pretty brunette gave him a little peck on the cheek and then she got off of his lap. Ash turned his head still grinning broadly and he caught Catherina’ s eye. She gave him a murderous look. Ash shrugged and he gave her a guilty look. She looked away from him still furious.
The cheerleaders ended their performance with summersaults.
The crowd gave them a standing ovation. A lot of boys and men often threw smooches in their direction.
“ Wow, you’ve had some luck with the ladies tonight haven’t you, Ash” a male voice behind him said. Ash recognized the voice behind him immediately.
“ Brock” Ash said happily turning around.
“ The one and only” he replied smiling.
“How have you been?” Ash asked clapping him on the shoulder.
“ I’m good” Brock replied changing seats and sitting next to Ash. Pikachu jumped on to his lap and licked his face affectionate.
“ Hey buddy, long time no see” he said scratching Pikachu behind the ears. Pikachu purred.
“ Wow, it’s been like five years man. I see you met Misty already.”
Ash chuckled and blushed. “ You saw that ?.” He asked looking at his scuinty- eyed pal nervously.
“Yep, so you still like her, huh???” he asked.
“ What, no way. I’ve never liked her. What are you talking about?!” Ash said nervously looking at the ground.
“ Whatever, dude??…… So who’s the blond girl you keep looking at??” Brock asked looking at his teenage friend.
“ You don’t miss a thing do you” Ash replied angrily not answering his question and turning his attention to the stage.
“ LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, TRAINERS OF ALL AGES IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU ALL THE WAY FROM THE ORANGE ISLANDS….TONY THE MAGICIAN”
A man in his mid thirties took the stage. His long hair was tied in a bun and he had a tall magician’s hat on his head. He carried a bird’s cage, a wand and a colorful box on to the stage.
Ash was quite interested in this. He always had a weak spot for magic tricks.
He put his full attention on the stage, watching the man attempt to make his assistant disappear.
His concentration was interrupted, though by a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see whom it was.
It was Catherina. The beautiful blond bombshell had an angry look on her face.
“ Ash, we need to talk, now!!” she shouted not really caring that people were watching her.
“ Can’t we wait till the show’s over, Catherina. I really want to watch.” Ash pleaded.
Catherina gave him a deadly glare.
Ash nodded, stood up and told Brock to hold on to Pikachu.
He followed Catherina up the stairs and in to the empty lounge area.
Catherina beckoned Ash to close the door behind him.
Ash heard loud clapping coming from the crowd.
He closed the door and looked at Catherina.
“ What is wrong with you Ketchum? I mean to be unfaithful behind somebody’s back is bad enough, but to check out two girls in front of me that’s even worst.” She yelled.
“ But Catherina I wasn’t being unfaithful. It’s just.. it’s just something men do. We can’t help are selves.” Ash replied in his defense.
“ Well, you could at least try!!!!! I thought you were different” she said sadly. “ I thought you said that you wouldn’t be looking at the hostess. But you’re like every other guy!!!”
“ No, Cathy. I know the hostess, that’s why. We used to travel together” Ash said exasperated.
“ O” she whispered. “ But that still doesn’t explain the way you looked at her”
“ What way??” Ash asked awkwardly.
“ The way you looked at her, was the same way you look at me and I didn’t like it at all!!! She said turning her face away from Ash.
“ Catherina, you are blowing this way out of proportion.” Ash said grabbing her hands.
“ If you want a relationship with me, you have to trust me. I may have checked those girls out, but that is because they’re attractive.”
Catherina scowled at him.
“ I mean I think they’re beautiful and everything…”
Catherina glared at him. “Don’t worry there’s a point to this” he said looking at her nervously.
“ There better be” she muttered still glaring at him.
“ I mean I think they are beautiful, but you are beautiful from the inside and the outside.
Catherina smiled.
“ You really mean that, Ash” she asked uncertain. “ What about that Misty girl.”
“ No, she’s beautiful and everything, but she is a real bitch!!!” Ash lied.
“ O, Ash” she said as she hugged him. “ I’m so sorry, I should’ve trusted you” she cried out giving him butterfly kisses all over his face. ( Butterfly kisses are little pecks all over someone face.)
Ash chuckled. “ O, Cathy. What am I going to do with you?” he asked chuckling.
“ You can forgive me,” she said pouting her lips.
“ On one condition.” he said grabbing her waist and pulling her into him.
“ And what is that “ she said giggling. “If I get to give you the best Hollywood kiss.” He said. (People who watch Sex and the city know, what I mean)
He dipped her and pressed his lips on hers. She put her arms around his neck.
They broke away and Ash lifted her up not letting go of her waist.
“ Just trust me. Okay??” he asked giving her another peck on the lips. She nodded.
“ Do you want to sit next to me till the show’s over” Ash asked playing with a strand of her hair.
“ No, I can’t gymleaders are supposed to sit in certain seats.” She replied. “I’m sorry. But we can meet after the ceremony” she asked hopefully.
“ No, I can’t I’ve already made plans with a buddy of mine. Ash said. He didn’t want to tell her he was meeting Misty after the ceremony.
“ O” she said sadly.
“ But we’ll see each other tomorrow” Ash said in an attempt to cheer her up.
She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“You better go back out there, you don’t want to miss the rest of the ceremony,” she said looking deep into his chocolate- brown eyes.
“ Who cares, by the sounds of it the magic show’s already over anyway” he said as he heard loud cheering coming from outside.
“ Ash, we have to go outside, people might start to wonder, “ she said in a kinky voice.
“ Besides the Rally boys are playing and I don’t want to miss it.”
She took a hold of his hand and led him outside. They walked down the stairs.
“ Bye” Ash said sweetly giving her a kiss on the cheek as they reached where they had to depart.
“ Bye” she whispered.
“Are we okay?” he asked
She nodded and turned around to walk to her seat.
The Rally boys were already playing, when Ash reached his seat. Pikachu was a sleep on Brock’s lap.
“So, did she murder you??” Brock asked curiously.
“ No, man I’m okay. I worked everything out” Ash said.
“ You’ve always had a way with the girls” Brock said impressed.
“ Not all girls” Ash said absentmindedly thinking about a pretty lady( and she wasn’t blond).
“ You really like her don’t you??” Brock asked grinning at his younger pal.
“ Who Catherina?” Ash asked looking at the band playing on the stage.
“ No, Misty” Brock answered.
Ash looked at Brock with an exasperated face, rolled his eyes and looked back at the band. Brock chuckled. “ You can’t keep denying it Ashy- boy.”
“ Brock, for the last time I don’t like Misty. Besides I’m with Catherina now. So just quite it okay”
“Whatever you say Ash” Brock replied.
“ Carlos, I can’t do this” Misty said holding on tight to her robe.
“ Misty, honey please don’t whine, it’s quite unflattering and yes you have to do this.” Carlos said caressing Misty’s hair.
“ But I look like a slut in this outfit.”
“No you don’t!!!”
“ I’m so nervous” Misty cried out.
“Why?? It’s not because of that Ash- guy is it???” Carlos asked curiously.
“ No….I mean yes” Misty said covering her face with her hands.
“O, I would be nervous too, he’s quite a dish.”
Misty scowled at him. “ Aren’t you supposed to be comforting me??”
“ Miss Waterflower please be prepared you’re up next.” A man with a clipboard shouted.
“ Common honey take of the robe” Carlos said tugging at the silk robe.
“Girls please stand by”. The man with the clipboard was referring to a group of girls in white tops and shorts.
Misty took of the robe, looked at herself in the mirror and sighed: “What have I gotten myself into??!!”
The rally- boys played the last notes of their upbeat song.
The crowd roared. They clapped and cheered. Girls underwear was occasionally thrown on to the stage as the men bowed.
“LADIES AND GENTELMAN THE RALLY BOYSSSS!!!!!!” the loud voice yelled. The crowd was still clapping
“IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME. OUR HOSTESS WE’LL BE GIVING A LITTLE PERFORMANCE FOR US. HERE SHE IS FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT MISTARA WATERFLOWER!!!!!!”
The crowd roared.
“We love you Misty!” could be heard throughout the crowd.
About 50 girls in tops and shorts took the stage and started dancing in a very seductive matter.
Brock gawked. Ash tried to resist, knowing that Catherina was probably watching his every move. But he couldn’t help taking a good look from time to time.
The women stopped dancing and they were all pointing at the back of the stage.
The curtains that covered a part of the stage opened and they revealed a young woman in a white g- string and a matching bikini- top. Her red hair was pulled up in a messy- bun.
Misty walked very seductively on to the stage and went to stand in the center of the group of girls. It was heaven for Ash and all the guys in the stadium. Ash felt a weird stiffness in his crotch- area.
Misty spread her legs and started moving her hips to the beat of the song.
“ She looks like a hooker” he heard a woman behind him say. But Ash didn’t care, he liked it.
He couldn’t help it, he wanted to jump on top of her and have his way with her.
The music began to get faster as did her hip- movements.
The group of girls danced around her in circles. She loosened her bun and shook her hair loose. Loud whooping and whistles could be heard throughout the crowd as well as loud hissing sounds. It was clear that a lot of the female audience didn’t approve of this at all. Some mothers were so disgusted and outraged they took their children home.
Ash looked at Catherina. He was glad to see that she was looking at Misty rather than him. He looked beside him and saw a merely interested Brock with a sleeping Pikachu on his lap.
“You are not at all turned on by this” Ash asked surprised.
“ Please, I’ve seen this routine a million times” Brock said.
“ O so you and Misty kept in touch with each other” Ash asked.
“ Yep, cause that’s what normal friends do” Brock replied giving Ash a “ you should feel guilty” look.
Ash didn’t reply to this and he looked at the stage at the dancing beauty.
He blushed as he saw that Misty was moving her hips, while she was doing the split.
Ash felt the stiffness in his crotch return.
Ash looked at her long legs, her firm butch cheeks and her tight stomach.
He than looked at her face and realized, that she didn’t look too comfortable.
He had to admit she did leave almost nothing to the imagination and that it was not like her to do so. He assumed that she was forced to do this dance.
He couldn’t lie he himself enjoyed it a lot.
Misty wiggled her body and that made her ass wiggle too.
“ O my god, how am I going to survive this tournament” Ash said covering his face with his hands.
Brock clapped him on the shoulder sympathetically.
Ash heard a splash and loud cheering. He looked up to see what had happened, only to see that Misty and the group of dancing girls were all wet.
This made it even worst for Ash as Misty’s breasts and ass looked more accentuated now that she was wet.
Her nipples poked out from under the bikini- top.
Misty turned around and bent over.
Ash put his hand on his chest in an attempt to stop his heart from beating faster.
He looked at Catherina and saw that she was still looking at Misty with a look of total disgust.
Fire works were fired when the song was nearing it’s end.
Fire works of every color were shot as Misty’s hip- movements began to get more energetic.
She whined her body downwards and ended the performance spread- eagled.
The male- audience roared and whooped.
While the female- audience hissed. Misty didn’t even bow. She was so disgusted with herself, she ran of stage.
“ O common sweetheart, comeback” an old man yelled touching himself.
“ You know, she never wanted to do this routine, she threw a fit when the choreographer showed her the moves, but they wouldn’t change them.” Brock stated admiring the fire works.
“ Poor Misty” Ash muttered.
“COMPETITORS BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCREEN FOR WE WILL SHOW YOU WERE YOU MUST GO AND WHO YOU ARE COMPETING AGAINST TOMORROW!!!
THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT EVERYONE. BE HERE FOR THE TOURNAMENT TOMORROW AT 9 AM. ENJOY THE FIRE WORK SHOW!!!!!”
Ash looked at the screen and saw that his first match was against Tori Jillano.
A shorthaired girl with freckles.
.
In the dressing area
Misty ran into her dressing room crying. She slammed the door behind her.
“Misty sweetie, please come out of there and talk to me” a worried Carlos said pressing his ear against the door.
“ No, I will never show my face in public again” she shouted. “I have never felt so humiliated in my life. GO AWAY!!!”
“Misty, everyone loved you”
“ No, they didn’t!!!” she replied stamping her foot. “ They thought I was a slut”
“ No they didn’t. Didn’t you hear how hard they clapped.”
“ Yeah only the male- audience. Some people were so outraged they went home!!!!!” she replied. “ I can’t believe you made me do that. If I knew that being hostess meant looking like a prostitute I would have never signed up for it. Go away Carlos, leave me alone!!!!”
“ Okay sweetie…….You want anything, a piña- colada or something”
“NO!!!!!”
Misty took of her wet bathing suit and dried herself of with a towel.
She put on underwear; a skirt and a tank- top. She combed her hair.
“ I just got to do that interview with in touch magazine and than off to see Ash”
She felt nervous at the thought of Ash. “ I’ll probably have to explain that performance to him”
She put on light make- up to cover up her puffiness. She opened the door and was greeted with at least 30 camera’s.
“ Misty, why did you do such a bold performance…”
“ Misty, did you pick out the outfit yourself…..”
“ Misty, are you still a virgin………”
“ O god HELP………”
“The stadium slowly emptied. A few people stayed to watch the rest of the fire works.
Catherina came to give Ash a good- night kiss and left as well
“So, Ash wanna get a beer or something” Brock asked as they watched the last of the fire works.
“ No I can’t…. I’m meeting Misty in two hours” Ash said.
“ O… she’s probably going to explain everything to you” Brock stated petting a sleeping Pikachu.
“ Explain what??” Ash asked curiously.
“ The rules of the tournament”.
“ What rules?” Ash asked.
“She’ll tell you, don’t worry” Brock replied.
“ If you want I can bring Pikachu to the pokemoncentre for you” Brock said looking at the sleeping Pikachu on his lap.
“ Yeah that would be great. Just give him to nurse joy and tell her to check if Pikachu is okay for a battle.” Ash replied
“Okay I will” Brock said in a very cheery voice at the thought of nurse Joy.
“See ya tomorrow. Good luck in the tournament” he said quickly and he ran out of the stadium.
Ash chuckled. “ Same old Brock”
He looked around the almost empty stadium. There were only two couples, one of the couples was making out passionately.
This reminded Ash of the kiss he sheared with Misty a couple of years ago before she left him. He had lied about the reason he kissed her. Telling her that it was a form of thank you.
He touched his lips. Brock was right he did or better said does like her.
Ash rested his head on the back of the seat. “ After 5 years I was sure I was over that crush……...guess not”
He looked at his watch.
“ Just a half an hour left”
He closed his eyes and leaned back into his seat.
He must off dozed off for a while, cause when he opened his eyes the lights in the stadium were already turned off.
He stood up and looked at his watch. “ Damn it I’m late!!!”
“ He ran through the stadium and towards the stage. He ran on to it and towards the back of the stage.
He couldn’t see anything, it was too dark.
“Misty!!!” Ash shouted hoping that she hadn’t left.
“ Misty!!!!” he yelled again
“ Shush”. He heard somebody whisper.
“ Misty?’ he whispered.
“ Yes it’s me” she whispered. “ Now, be quiet someone might hear you!!!”
Misty took a hold of his hand and led him deeper into the darkness.
She was fumbling with something.
A dim light came on.
Ash smiled as he was greeted with his redheaded friend.
Misty looked like her old self now that she was dressed in proper clothes.
Ash grinned. “ Hey you”
She didn’t return the grin. “ Ash, we need to talk”
She went to sit on a wooden bench and beckoned Ash to sit next to her.
Ash took a seat next to her and smiled.
“ What’s so funny Ash?” Misty asked nervously.
“ You look really nice” he replied looking into her eyes.
“Do you mean tonight during the performance?” she asked coldly
“ No I mean, right now” he said scooting closer to her.
He wanted so much to kiss her.
“ O “ she replied. “ But I want you to know that…”
“ You didn’t pick out the outfit nor did you pick the moves. I know, I know Brock told me,” Ash said scooting even closer to her.
“ Good” Misty sighed a little relieved. “ So how have you
been?”
” I’m good, you?” Ash asked.
“ I’m okay. So you’re almost a pokemonmaster now, huh?”
“ Yeah. It’s been 9 stressful years, but I…..” he started.
“Why didn’t you call!!!?” she shouted.
“What?” he asked freaked out at her sudden outburst.
“God, you could have at least written, telegram me or something, god Ash I would have thought you were dead if your mom didn’t reassure me you were okay!!!” Misty replied. “Brock and I were so worried!!”
“Well, why didn’t you guys call?!” Ash asked in his defense.
“You were always traveling, we didn’t know where you were!!” she replied standing up. “ We called your mom so many times to ask of your whereabouts, but she almost never knew where you were or she’d tell us you already left home and that we just missed you!!” Misty said.
“ Well, wasn’t it you who left me all alone, Misty!!!” Ash replied standing up too.
“ I’ve already told you why we left!!!”
“ Oh yeah, I still haven’t seen what dream you’ve pursued Unless if being a hooker was your dream, than you turned out quite well.” Ash replied sizing her up. He realized that he was a few inches taller than her.
Misty went silent and turned her face away from Ash.
“ Misty, I’m so sorry,” Ash said regretfully.
“ No you’re not” she said tears welling up in her eyes. “ I know you are rooting for me to fail!!”
“ That’s not true Misty” Ash said grabbing her arms. “ I didn’t mean it, really I didn’t”
She shook her arms loose from him.
“Thank you for making this a lot easier for me” Misty said angry wiping away a tear.
“What?” Ash asked confused.
“ The hostess is not aloud to come in contact with any competitor”
‘ You mean were not aloud to talk to each other during the competition” Ash asked frightfully. “ So that’s why you acted like you didn’t know me and Pikachu!!!”
“ Very good Ash you got it in one try!!” she stated coldly glaring at Ash.
She wiped away another tear with the back of her hand. “ It would be even better if we never talk to each other ever again!!!! Seeing that you can do that very well,” she cried out turning her back to Ash.
“ Misty, please, I’m really sorry!!!”
Misty walked to the door that led to the dressing- area. She gave Ash a last lethal glare, opened the door and left.
“ Misty, please don’t, come back” Ash spat out.
But she already left.
“ God you are such an idiot” Ash said to himself putting his hands on her head.
He rubbed his head and looked at the ceiling and in a last attempt to call her back, he yelled: “Misty!!!!!!!!!”
