Part 3 Hidden love by Aalitichi

 

Early in the morning in the dressing area of the Alivon stadium.

 

“ Carlos, it’s 5.00 AM in the morning, the tournament is not in another 4 hours” a tired Misty yawned as they entered her dressing room. She grabbed the hot cup of coffee that was placed on her desk.

“ Sweety, you want to look perfect on camera don’t you?” Carlos replied standing in the door opening. Misty nodded.

“ Besides” Carlos squealed. “ You get to choose your own dress.” Misty looked up at Carlos.

“ Really?” she giggled happily. Carlos nodded excitedly.

Misty giggled again. They’re over there in that closet. Misty whipped around and looked at the big variety of gowns hanging in the closet behind her.

“ O thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” she giggled happily. She jumped up and gave Carlos a hug.

“ I’ll leave you alone to try them on and pick out your favorite” Carlos replied happy at Misty’s reaction. Misty didn’t hear him she was already running threw the room in the direction of the closet. Carlos left and closed the door behind him.

She grabbed a red dress in the right corner of the closet. She was happy to see that it was not at all like the dress she wore the previous night.

It was a fiery red and it was strapless. She loved the design, but thought that it would be too much with her red hair.

She was examining a green dress, when she saw something blue in the corner of her eye. She looked at the left corner of the closet and saw a light blue gown. She took it out of the closet and looked at it in awe.

It had two laces at the corners that you had to tie behind your neck. It was backless and made of satin. It had a leg cut. She loved it and thought that it would go lovely with her red hair.

She put it on her desk and looked at it happily. She than looked in the mirror at her reflection. She had to admit she looked pretty good for someone who had cried more than half of the night and had slept only two hours.

Her eyes filled up with tears at the thought of the previous night.

“ No you can’t do this. Just forget about him, he’s a jerk” she whispered to herself.

She wiped away a tear and took a deep breath.

“ I’m not going to let him ruin my stay here… from now on he means nothing to me!!!!!”  She said aloud.

“Who means nothing to you?”

Misty turned around quickly and saw Brock standing in the doorway.

“ O, nothing” Misty said quickly wiping away another tear.

“Mist, are you crying?” Brock asked worriedly.

“No” she sobbed tears streaming over her cheeks. Brock walked through the room to where Misty was standing.

“ What did he do to you?” Brock asked furiously.

“ I don’t know what you’re talking about” she replied innocently.

“Misty, please” Brock pleaded. He took a hold of her hand and led her to the sofa to sit down.

“ Nothing’s wrong Brock” Misty said looking in his eyes (well, eyes?). “ Really, I’m just tired that’s all”

“Are you sure” Brock asked still worried. Misty nodded and gave him a smile.

“ Come here” Brock said putting his arms around her in a tight (friendly!!!) embrace.

“So, how did it go with Ash yesterday” Brock asked still suspicious, while letting go of her.

Misty was silent for a moment.

“It went well” She lied. “We talked for a little while, you know to catch up on things. It was fun.”

“Did you tell him about the rules?”

Misty nodded.

There was a knock on the door. Carlos entered the room. “Misty have you picked out your dress yet?” he asked looking at the red- eyed girl.

“ O honey you look awful have you been crying again. What, didn’t you like the gowns?”

“No, I loved them. The one I picked out is on my desk.” She replied. “It’s nothing, really, I’m just stressed out that’s all.” She smiled at Carlos.

“O, it must be hard for you to get up so early in the morning.” Carlos replied. “ I know you’re tired and all, but you really have to start getting ready now, dear.

Misty nodded.

Brock got off of the couch and walked towards the door. He looked at Misty, winked and left.

Misty closed the door and locked it. She could never be too safe when you are a hostess.

 

She went to the bathroom took her clothes of and stepped into the showering place. She looked at her feet as the warm water streamed over her body. She was too afraid to close her eyes, cause everytime she did she would see him…

 

 

In the pokemoncenters lounge area.

 

“Pika chupi!!” (You idiot!!) Pikachu replied after hearing about the events of the previous night.

“ Pikachu, don’t make this harder for me!!” Ash said looking at his feet.

“Pikachu pi chu, pikachu chupi pi pi” (Make this harder for you, you brought this upon yourself) he replied flabbergasted at Ash’s stupidity.

“Look, Pikachu I was mad, okay. You know how I get when I’m mad” Ash replied feeling guiltiness well up inside of him.

“ Pikachu pi chupi ka kapi, pi chu chupi pika pikachu kapi chupi pikachu” (I’m mad at you now, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to call you names).

“Pikachu, I don’t want to talk about this an half an hour before my first match” Ash said not looking at Pikachu.

“Pik kapi pikachu chupi ka kapi pi, pi pikachu pi pika pichu pikachu” (Well, we better talk about this now or I’m not competing) Pikachu responded.

Ash looked at Pikachu frightfully.

“Please tell me you’re kidding”

Pikachu sighed and said: “Pik pikachu pi Pikachupi,pi” (Just apologize to Misty).

“But …”

 

Ash was interrupted by two slender arms wrapping themselves around him.

“Hey sexy guy” a girl whispered kissing his neck.

Ash couldn’t see who the girl was because the girl was standing behind him, but judging from the massive amount of golden blond hair he was pretty sure whom it was.

“ Hey, Cathy” he replied sweetly.

The girl walked around the chair and sat on Ash’s lap. Her long blond hair was flowing behind her back. She was wearing a very revealing red top and very short shorts. (Like Daisy Duke’s)

“Hey, Pikachu” she giggled tickling Pikachu behind the ears. Pikachu didn’t coo this time. He wasn’t that fond of Catherina anymore, knowing that a certain redhead was back in town.

Pikachu jumped off his chair and left the lounge.

“ What’s wrong with Pikachu?” Catherina asked Ash curiously.

“He’s just nervous” Ash replied absentmindedly. He was to busy looking at her long legs and plump breasts to care about Pikachu.

“So, nervous?” she asked. She caught Ash in the act.

“Omg, don’t look at me like that” she said covering up her breasts, although deep inside she was quite flattered.

Ash gave her a sly smile. She smiled back at him and bent down. They locked lips. She broke the lip lock and started kissing his neck

Ash groaned and pressed his hands on her butt. He felt a very pleasant stiffness in his crotch- area.

Catherina sitting on his lap felt it and stopped.

“That’s enough of that” she said getting off of his lap.

“No, don’t go” he replied hoarsely, while grabbing her hand.

He wanted more.

“No, Ash. I want you to focus on your match today. We’ll meet after the match okay?”

Ash nodded.

“When is your match, actually?”.

“At 9.00 AM” he replied feeling his excitement die down.

“That’s like in 15 minutes, you better get going” Catherina said looking at the clock on top of nurse Joy’s counter.

“Yeah!” Ash almost yelled. He looked at the clock

“Pikachu, common let’s go” Ash yelled towards the door.

Pikachu came running into the lounge area.

“Common buddy, we’re gonna be late”

Pikachu jumped on his shoulder.

“How about a good luck kiss” she asked happily.

“No time” Ash replied hastily.

“But Ash……” she said surprised.

“Bye” Ash said quickly and in a second he was gone.

She ran a hand threw her thick blond hair and thought: “You wouldn’t believe that was the same guy that a minute a go, couldn’t take his hands off of my ass….”

 

 

In Alivon’s stadium.

 

“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, TRAINERS OF ALL AGES. WELCOME TO THE ALIVON TOURNAMENT.” The crowd cheered and clapped.

“HERE’S YOUR HOSTESS MISTY WATERFLOWER!!”

 

Misty walked on to the stage in a very beautiful blue dress. Her hair had loose curls in it and it was tied up into a messy bun. Her face was flawless. You wouldn’t believe she had spent most of the night crying.

“ Good morning Alivon!!!!” she yelled. The crowd screamed and cheered. There was loud hooting. Misty felt more comfortable now, than yesterday night.

“Are you guys ready!!!!” she yelled excited. The crowd roared. She giggled at the loud response.

“ Let’s welcome are first competitors shall we?!!!” she cried into the mike.

The crowd yelled and clapped.

“Here they are: TORI JILLANO AND ASHTON KETCHUM!!!!” 

The crowd roared.

Ash walked from out of the trainer’s room and on to the field with Pikachu on his shoulder.

Tori walked out from the trainer’s room at the other end of the stadium. The crowd clapped.

“Pikapi, pik pi pikachu Pikachupi chupi, kapi” (Ash, look how pretty Misty looks today) Pikachu said in awe.

Ash’s head turned to watch the pretty girl on the stage. He felt butterflies in his stomach.

He noticed that she had on a less revealing dress and he had to admit he liked her better this way. He thought she looked cute. Misty was looking at Tori and into the crowd.

 “Is it just me, or is she avoiding eye contact with me” he thought still looking at Misty.

 

He tore his eyes away from the stage to look at the teenage girl that he was competing against. She smiled at him and blushed. They shook hands and walked towards their box.

 

“ASHTON KETCHUM IS IN THE RED BOX AND TORI JILLANO IS IN THE GREEN BOX” the referee yelled. “EACH TRAINER MAY USE THREE POKEMON. THEY’RE COMPETING FOR THE BEST OF THREE.THE TRAINERS WILL BE COMPETING ON THE GRASS FIELD. TORI JILLANO WILL START FIRST. …. LET THE MATCH BEGIN!!!!”

 

“Torchick, go” Tori yelled. An yellow bird came out of a pokeball.

“This is going to be an easy one” Ash muttered. “Cyndaquill, go!!!!!”

The fire pokemon came out of it’s pokeball.

“Torchick use peck!!!!”

Torchick ran across the field to peck cyndaquill with his beak.

“Cyndaquill use agility!!” Ash yelled.

Cyndaquill was to fast for torchick’s attack. “Now cyndaquill use body slam”

Cyndaquill slammed Torchick to the ground.

“No, Torchick” Tori screamed

“Cyndaquill finish it of with flame thrower!!”

“Torchick use agility” Tori yelled panicky.

Torchick escaped.

 

“WOW, THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE” the announcer yelled.

The crowd roared.

 

“ Cyndaquill use tail whip!!!”

“Torchick use agility again”

But cyndaquill was to fast for it. Cyndaquill hit torchick hard with his tail. Torchick collapsed, but still tried to get up.

“Cyndaquill finish it off with flame thrower” Ash yelled triumphantly.

 

“Torchick, please try to get up!!!” Tori yelled desperately.

But it was no good. Cyndaquill’s flamethrower left Torchick unconscious.

 

“THE FIRST ROUND GOES TO ASHTON KETCHUM” the referee yelled.

The crowd cheered. Ash was grinning from ear to ear. He saw Catherina jumping up and down, screaming and clapping.

 “THIS LOOKS LIKE AN EASY MATCH FOR KETCHUM. HE’S GOT IT IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.”

 

Ash turned his head towards the stage to see what Misty reaction was, but she was barely amused. It looked like she was examining her fingernails.

Ash was very disappointed at this.

“I’ll show her,” he thought.

 

“Torchick return”

“Nidoking, go” Tori yelled. Her voice was a little shaky.

“Piece of cake” Ash whispered. “Cyndaquill return. Pikachu, go!”

 

“TORI’S NIDORINA HAS A GREAT ADVANTAGE. HOPE KETCHUM HAS A PLAN UP HIS SLEEVE!!!!” the announcer yelled

 

“Nidoking, body slam” Tori yelled a little more confident.

“Pikachu stand your ground” Ash yelled even more confident. The massive pokemon jumped into the air and slammed Pikachu into the ground.

The crowd gasped and went silent as Nidoking got off of Pikachu.

 

“ UNBELIEVABLE…PIKACHU SURVIVED THAT ATTACK WITHOUT A SCRATCH”  the announcer yelled.

The crowd screamed.

Tori was flabbergasted. “No way” she whispered.

Pikachu looked better than ever and had no scratch on him.

“ THAT’ S A POWERFUL PIKACHU”

 

“Pikachu use iron tail!!!” Ash yelled.

Pikachu whipped Nidoking with his iron tail. Nidoking fell to the ground hurt.

The crowd was very loud.

“Nidoking, please get up!!” Tori pleaded.

“Nido!!”

Nidoking got up.

“Nidoking tackle Pikachu” Tori yelled.

“Pikachu use agility” Ash yelled

Nidoking’s attack missed.

“Pikachu use iron tail again” Ash yelled.

“Pika” (Okay)

“Nidoking use agility” Tori yelled. Pikachu’s attack missed.

Nidoking looked very tired after this attack.

“LOOKS LIKE NIDOKING IS WORN OUT, JILLANO BETTER ACT QUICKLY”

 

“Nidoking use tackle again” Tori yelled.

‘Pikachu use agility” Ash yelled. But this time Nidoking struck Pikachu. Pikachu fell down and was hurt.

“Pikachu are you okay buddy” Ash asked worried.

“Pika” (yeah) Pikachu nodded and he got up.

“Hang in there. Pikachu” Ash yelled.

“Nidoking use tackle again” Tori screamed. Nidoking hit his target again. Pikachu fell to the ground gasping for air.

“Pikachu!”Ash screamed.

Pikachu got up all battered and bruised.

“Okay time to finish this match, Pikachu, use thunder storm!!!!!!!!” Ash yelled.

Pikachu gathered all his energy. He fired a very gigantic electric bolt towards Nidoking.

Nidoking was so confused that it didn’t know what to do.

The bolt hit it against the chest. Nidoking roared and fell to the ground. It was unconscious.

Everyone in the crowd got on their feet and clapped enthusiastically for Ash and his Pikachu. Ash grinned broadly and Pikachu, though tired, grinned too.

“ASHTON KETCHUM IS THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH” the announcer yelled.

“UNBELIEVABLE, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. WHAT AN EXPLOSIVE BEGINNING TO THE TOURNAMENT!!!!!!”

 

 Ash was still grinning. He looked at the stage to see Misty’s reaction. Misty was looking into the crowd. She was watching them cheer and clap. She herself looked unamused.

Ash’s face turned sour.

Why was she acting that way towards him. What he said yesterday wasn’t that bad… right?

He turned his face towards the crowd and saw Catherina smile at him. He smiled back.

Some of the trainers that Ash would have to compete with looked amazed and frightened at the same time.

“KETCHUM WILL NOW GO ON TO THE STAGE AND FIND OUT FROM THE HOSTESS HERSELF WHO HE WILL BE COMPETING AGAINST NEXT” the announcer yelled. The crowd whooed. There were a lot of people who thought they made a very handsome couple indeed, judging by how they reacted towards one another during the opening ceremonies.

Ash almost lost his breath after hearing this.

Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. “Pik kapi pikachu, kapi” (This is your chance, apologize) Pikachu whispered. Ash nodded.

He walked slowly towards the stage. He took the time to walk towards where Misty was standing. She was looking at the ground.

He reached her and thought she looked radiant. He wanted very much to just touch her, to just kiss her,  but knew he couldn’t.

Misty looked up at Ash.  “God, he’s handsome” she thought. “No, Misty remember what he did to you”

There was silence for a moment. Than she spoke very coldly into the mike. “Ash Ketchum your next match will be tomorrow afternoon at 4.00 pm. It will be against Alissa Agarata or Margarita Flemming. Depends on who wins that match today, please stay informed at the local pokemoncenter.” She said looking away.

“You may leave the stage” she stated.

“Pikachu, pikachu” (Apologize, apologize) Pikachu muttered.

 “Aren’t you going to congratulate me for my match!” Ash asked a little mad. The crowd stopped cheering and whooping and paid attention to what was happening on the stage.

“Pika, kapi chupi” (Watch your temper) Pikachu muttered.

Misty looked up at Ash.

She hesitated for a moment, than she gave him a hand. He pulled her a bit into him. A few people in the crowd were screaming kiss her, kiss her.

“Misty, I’m sorry” he whispered as he covered the mike with his other hand. Misty looked away.

“Can we meet each other after the matches here around 6.00PM….please” he whispered quickly. Misty looked at the ground for a moment and nodded.

Ash let go of her hand and walked slowly off the stage and on to the field.

“Pika pikachu pik, Pikapi” (that was great , Ash) Pikachu exclaimed.

 

The cheering had died down a bit, people were getting out of their seats to buy refreshments before the other maches would start.

Catherina ran up to Ash to give him a hug. “Congrats, that was awesome!” Catherina giggled. “Good job, Pikachu”

Pikachu scowled.

“He’s tired” Ash replied quickly to Catherina’s curious stares.

Ash gave Pikachu a death glare

 

Ash was glad that she hadn’t seen him whispering to Misty, she would have freaked.

She stood on her toes and gave Ash a kiss.

 “Do you want to sit next to me during the matches” she asked.

“But I thought those seats were only reserved for gymleaders” Ash asked.

“Well yea, but I’m sure they would be flattered if you joined us, besides I want to show off my boyfriend” she replied.

“No, it’s okay really. I don’t think I want to watch the matches anyway” Ash replied. He thought he’d probably be looking at Misty threw out the day, and with Catherina watching his every move that wouldn’t be such a good idea.

“ You’d probably get nervous” she said as they left the field and stepped into the trainer room.

“Yeah” Ash lied.

“Well,we could get some food” Catherina offered.

“No, thanks I think I’m just going back to the pokemoncenter. Pikachu’s tired.” Ash said. Catherina pouted. At the sight of that Ash put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead gently.

She smiled.

Pikachu rolled its eyes.

They left the trainer’s room and stood outside.

“Can I see you after the matches” Catherina asked.

“When are the matches over?” Ash asked remembering his “date” with Misty.

“At four” she said putting her arms around Ash’s neck.

Ash nodded and put his arms around her waist. He nudged her nose with his.

“ My place or yours?”

“Your place” Catherina replied. “We can watch TV or…… finish what we started in the lounge.”

Ash chuckled. Catherina stood on her toes and gave Ash a passionate kiss. He slipped his tongue between her lips.

She moaned softly.

Pikachu jumped off Ash shoulder disgusted by the two lovebirds.

Their kiss was interrupted by a bright flash. Ash broke away and looked at what had cause the flash.

A big group of paparazzi was taking pictures of him and Catherina.

 

“KETCHUM, WAS THE MATCH TODAY A PIECE OF CAKE?”

“ASHTON…..IS THIS YOUR GIRLFRIEND?”

“KETCHUM ARE YOU ATTRACTED TO THE HOSTESS?”

“ASH HOW DO YOU BALANCE OUT YOUR LOVE LIFE WITH YOUR CARREER?”

 

Ash mouthed to Catherina to go back inside the stadium quickly.

Catherina ran towards the trainer’s room’s door. A few people from the paparazzi followed her with camera’s and folded out notebooks.

 

“MISS WHAT’S YOUR NAME….”

“ARE YOU JEALOUS OF THE HOSTESS, CAUSE SHE STOLE YOUR BOYFRIENDS HEART?”

 

Catherina ignored them. She ran into the trainer’s room and closed the door behind her.

 

Meanwhile the paparazzi were still following Ash. Ash was running at high pace, but the group of people wouldn’t leave him alone. Pikachu had jumped on to his shoulder again.

 

“LEAVE ME ALONE!!” Ash yelled over the group of people. He stopped in front of the group. 

“WE’LL LEAVE YOU ALONE IF YOU ANSWER ARE QUESTIONS KETCHUM” one of the people said.

Ash looked at the great amount of people and he made a decision.

 

“GOOD, I’LL ONLY ANSWER 4 QUESTIONS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” Ash yelled frustrated.

A few people in the crowd nodded.

“AND I WILL NOT ANSWER PERSONAL QUESTIONS!!” Ash yelled. “START!”

 

“ WAS, IN YOUR OPINION, JILLANO TOO UNEXPERIENCED?”

“No” Ash answered short.

“HOW DID YOUR PIKACHU GET TO BE SO POWERFULL”

“I train it a lot”

“WAS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND, BACK THERE”

“ I am not going to answer that, next question, please.”

“IS IT EXCITING TO KNOW THAT THE HOSTESS IS ATRACTED TO YOU?”

“ I don’t know what you’re talking about” he answered stiffly. “That’ s it then you had your four questions, now LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”

“KETCHUM, THE THIRD QUESTION DIDN’T COUNT”

 

But Ash was already running towards the pokemoncenter.

The group followed him. They were still taking pictures.

Ash turned around and yelled: “Pikachu use thunder shock”

 

Pikachu jumped off of his shoulder and shocked the paparazzi.

The group off people yelled and screamed, but Ash didn’t care.

“Common, Pikachu make a run for it” Ash yelled.

Ash ran towards the pokemoncenter with Pikachu on his heel. They heard footsteps behind them, as they entered the lounge area and closed the door behind them.

The people of the paparazzi banged on the glass door.

“What is going on?!” Nurse Joy asked frightened.

The people in the lounge area had gotten out of their seats to make a run for it.

“It’s the paparazzi, they’ve been following me.” Ash replied calming down.

“Don’t worry I’ll call security” Nurse Joy exclaimed. “You, just get up to your room and I’ll handle everything. You can leave your pokemon here with me.”

“Pikachu pi kapi ka chupi pi” (I want to stay with you) Pikachu stated looking at the large group of people banging on the door.

“No, it’s okay Pikachu. You stay here with Nurse Joy, she’ll make sure your not to badly bruised, I’ll be okay” Ash said as he watched four big men remove people from in front of the glass door.

“Pika” (Okay)

Ash patted Pikachu on the head and headed to his room.

 

 

Back in Ash’s room

 

He closed the door behind him and let himself fall on the bed.

“What a day, first Misty, than the paparazzi” Ash thought to himself.

He got up from off of his bed and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

“I’m sorry” he said aloud.

“No that’s not going to work” he thought.

“Misty, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean…. Nah to desperate” he said to his reflection.

“Misty forgive me…please?” he said yet again.

“Ugh, this isn’t going to work!!” he screamed at himself.

He grabbed the pot of flowers on top of his desk and threw it at the wall. It hit the wall and broke.

Ash fell on the bed and hit his pillow with his fists.

It was all so confusing Misty being mad at him, his relationship with Catherina, his secret desire for Misty……. everything.

He was trying to recall all the times that he had to apologize to Misty.

She had always forgiven him. But then again he had never called her a hooker before. A bitch maybe, but not a hooker.

Ash grimaced. He then recalled the worst fight he had ever had with her…. well until now.  

 

Flashback

 

“Mist, what did I do?” a handsome 14- year old boy asked

“You’re such an idiot” a crying girl exclaimed.

“But why am I an idiot.” Ash asked exasperated. He never got girls and Misty was the most confusing one.

“If you don’t know, than I’m not telling you” Misty said turning her back to him.

“I give up” Ash said throwing his hands in the air.

“It’s that stupid blond bitch!!” Misty screamed.

Their room was a mess from all the things Misty had thrown at Ash’s head.

“Who, Tiffany?” Ash asked confused. “I thought she was very nice… She never did anything to hurt you, Misty!!”

“You should have seen the way she looked at me. Like I was trash” she spat back at him. “And the way you kept complementing her on her perfect hair and body……. Just sickening.”

“So I’m not aloud to complement people now” Ash screamed sizing her up.

They were the same height.

“She was secretly laughing at me and you brought me even lower than I already was by allowing her to flirt with you and flirting back!!!” Misty yelled flipping her red hair over her shoulder. (It was pass her shoulders)

“So what!! Excuse me for looking at pretty girls every chance I get, but if I’m looking at a girl like you everyday no wonder I’m looking for beautiful girls to watch!!!” Ash screamed

Misty went silent. She then put her hands in front of her eyes and turned around to walk towards the door.

“Misty wait!!! Please, I didn’t mean it!!” Ash yelled feeling very guilty.

Misty kept walking she was almost at the door.

Ash ran up to her and hugged her from behind.

That stopped Misty in her tracks. She turned around and started pushing Ash against his chest, while still sobbing.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..” he whispered trying to hug her. But Misty kept pushing him.

“Mist, please…. Forgive me.” Ash muttered under his breath.

Misty shook her head, still pushing Ash.

He then kissed her. He gave her pecks on the lips, as she silently sobbed. He kept whispering “I’m sorry” between kisses.

 The door slowly opened.

“Ah……have I missed something?” Brock asked flabbergasted.

 

End flashback.

 

Ash and Misty decided afterwards that it was just Ash’s way of showing Misty he was sorry, though Ash secretly knew that wasn’t all it was.

He closed his eyes to remember how good Misty looked today at his match.

He swore he could hear her giggling all the way from the stadium. The way she moved, the way she twirled a lock of her hair when she was nervous, the way she giggled, always made him weak in the knees.

Ash had to chuckle at how cute she looked whenever she giggled.

“Snap out off it Ash… you’re with Catherina now” he muttered.

He grabbed the Alivon tournament manual on his night desk and flipped through it to keep his mind occupied. It was no use it reminded him more of Misty.

He threw the manual back on the night desk.

He was ready to jump off his bed to turn on the TV, but remembered that the pokemoncenter didn’t have cable and he would be stuck watching the matches.

He wasn’t in the mood to get nervous about his match of tomorrow. Not when he had other things to worry about. He looked at the alarm clock on his night desk.

2 o’ clock already!!

Ash laid back on the bed and watched the ceiling, he closed his eyes………….

 

He heard giggling.

‘Ash”  a girl whispered

Ash was in a strange room. It looked like a hotel room, he was on the bed.

“Ash” the girl whispered again.

He sat up on the bed and choked at the sight.

A very beautiful girl with golden blond hair was staring back at him. She was wearing only a thong and her breasts were exposed.

“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this” she said

She walked slowly towards the bed and beckoned Ash to lie back down.

“Catherina?” Ash whispered.

The girl didn’t respond. She went to sit on top of Ash and started kissing him intensively.

“O, Ash” she gasped.  She took a hold of Ash’s hands and put them on her breasts.

She groaned softly.

“Cathy?” Ash asked under his breath.

He then examined the woman closely, as she kissed his neck. Her hair turned from golden blond to fiery red.

“MISTY?” Ash yelled.

The girl giggled and nodded.

She bent down and gave Ash another kiss.

“O, Ash” the girl moaned.

Her red hair fell in his eyes. Ash ran his fingers through her hair and smiled.

He started kissing her back, he wanted nothing more, but to be here in this moment with her, Misty, his Misty.

“MMM” Ash moaned kissing her on her neck and groping her breast.

“O Ash……Ash”

“Ash”

Misty’s face turned into nurse Joy’s.

 

“Ash!!!”

Ash fell of his bed. Somehow he had fallen a sleep.

“Sorry to wake you. Your bedroom door was open and I heard you moaning. Did you have a nightmare?” nurse Joy asked him worriedly.

“Uhm… yeah” Ash lied covering up his crotch with his blanket.

“Here are your pokeballs. I’ll have to let Pikachu spend the night with me. He’ll be fine by tomorrow morning.”

Ash got off of the floor still clutching the blanket to his crotch.

“Okay, thanks nurse Joy. You can put the pokeballs on that desk” Ash said with a pitchy voice.

“Poor dear, you look absolutely frightened!! “ nurse Joy said with a tone of worry. “Are you gonna be okay?”

Ash nodded hastily.

“ Do you need anything” she asked.

Ash shook his head and gulped. “Okay, you can pick up Pikachu tomorrow morning”

And with that she left.

Ash ran to the door and closed it.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror. Nurse Joy was right he did look scared.

He was all sweaty and wide- eyed.

“I need a very cold shower”.

 

He entered his bathroom and took off his black t- shirt, dark- blue jeans and underwear.

He got under the douche and turned on the cold water.

He let the water flow threw his jet black hair and over his olive colored, toned body.

“Unbelievable” he thought.

Though Misty had always been the cause of most of his…. you know what’s.

“But did the dream mean anything?” Ash thought. “I mean first the girl had blond hair and looked like Catherina and then she had red hair and looked like Misty…Does this mean I like Catherina, but I like Misty even more?” Ash thought. “O, this is so confusing!”

Ash has stood in the shower for quite a when he suddenly heard footsteps.

He slowly turned off the water and listened intently. He heard footsteps in his bedroom.

“O, shit I forgot to lock the door again!”.

He mentally kicked himself. He walked out of the showering area as silent as he could. He grabbed his towel and tied it around his waist.

He was looking around the bathroom in search of anything to hit the intruder with, but found nothing.

Ash decided he had to use his fists.

He thought it was best if he’d open the door quickly. He had a better chance of scaring away the burglar that way.

“Okay, here I go one, two, three”

He swung the door open. There was a loud squeal.

Ash watched Catherina trip out of fear.

“Catherina” Ash said surprised. “What are you doing here?”

“I was supposed to come by after the matches, remember?” Catherina stated annoyed.

Her frustration died down a bit as she saw in what state Ash was in.

“My, my, my..Ashy boy” she said looking Ash up and down. She looked at his not too muscular arms and his six- pack.

She walked over to him and tugged at his towel.

“Woaw, what are you doing!!!” Ash screamed running away from her grasp. “I’m naked under this towel yah know!!”

“That’s what I was hoping” Catherina brought out in a kinky tone.” Now come here I want to see!!”

Ash ran away from Catherina and in to the bathroom. He was chuckling uncontrollably.

“You’re not getting away from me that easily, mister,” she giggled. She ran in to the bathroom after him.

“Come here lover boy” she yelled at the sight of Ash. But he was to fast for him. He ran pass her out of the bathroom.

“O, no you don’t” she said following him.

Ash was laughing hysterically. His hair was still wet and was sticking up in every direction. Catherina thought he looked very cute that way.

Catherina walked up to him, slowly. When Ash had caught his breath and was ready to make a run for it, it was too late.

Catherina had him surrounded. She put both her hands on either side of Ash and kissed him.

Ash kissed her back and put his arms around her waist. She broke off suddenly and pulled at his towel.

The towel came loose.

“O…MR. KETCHUM!!!” Catherina squealed loudly.

“Cathy no” Ash screamed, he was trying to cover his crotch and run at the same time and was failing miserably. 

“Don’t worry, you’re every bit the man I expected you to be!!” Catherina exclaimed excitedly.

Ash ripped the bedspread from off of his bed and covered himself with it. He blushed and looked at the ground. Catherina walked up to him and looked him in the eyes.

“We’re you taking a shower?” Catherina asked under her breath. Ash nodded still avoiding her eyes.

Catherina scooted closer to him and whispered:

“May I join you?…………………………………..”

 

One and a half hour later in Alivon stadium.

 

A dazed young man let himself fall in one of the many empty chairs in Alivon stadium. Ash laid his head on the back of his seat.

He looked up at the darkening sky and recalled the events that had occurred just barely an hour before.

Ash sighed. He had to admit he had fallen hard for the blond beauty.

It was only an hour ago that Ash had explored every inch of her flawless body. But something had held him back, for he did not make love to her.

Catherina, of course, was very upset. She had yelled and screamed and she had asked him if he felt nothing for her.

Ash had said nothing and that made her even more furious.

“Snap out of it you pussy” Ash muttered at himself.

He looked at his watch. It was 5.28 PM.

“Better get up” Ash thought nervously. “Don’t wanna be late for Misty”

He walked between the seats and on to the field, towards the stage.

It was almost dark and no lights were lit in the stadium. Ash walked around the stage to the back to see, that Misty was already there waiting for him. She had her back turned to him.

Ash took a deep breath and softly called out her name.

Misty turned around slowly and looked at Ash. Her eyes were red and puffy and she still had her blue gown on. She turned her back to him again and clicked on the light.

“Mist….have you been crying” Ash asked worriedly.

Misty shrugged slightly.

“Have you been crying, because of…me?”

Misty looked at Ash and then at the ground. There was a weird silence.

Ash walked in her direction. She scooted away.

“Hurry up and say what you need to say, Ash”

She wasn’t crying anymore.

“Look, Mist….I’m sorry” Ash pleaded.

Misty rolled her eyes and looked away.

“I know that doesn’t mean much to you, but please just try to forgive me”

“I don’t have to try anything for you!!!”

Ash looked hurt. “Mist, please”

He walked over to her and hugged her. Misty pushed him away firmly.

“Don’t you dare try to pull that off again, Ketchum!!!” she screamed.“It’s not going to work this time!!”

“But Misty, you’re my friend”

“Well, you sure didn’t think that when you said those things to me yesterday, you son of a bitch!!” she spat back at him.

“Misty, will you just listen to me….just hear what I have to say!!”

“Okay talk already so I can move on with my life” Misty said. She let herself fall on a wooden box. Ash sat beside her.

“Look Misty, I couldn’t sleep last night”

Misty tutted and rolled her eyes.

Ash cupped her face with his hands, it was like it set a trigger off, cause Misty started sobbing again.

“I get mad and say the worst things imaginable, but nothing that I have ever said in my life can compare to how terrible those words were that I said last night. And to see you cry just breaks my heart, because I have sworn a long time ago that I wouldn’t ever make you cry like that again. And the worst thing of it is those words aren’t true. Look Misty yesterday I saw you for the first time in like an eternity and to have seen the beautiful girl…woman you have become just scared me a bit….. okay a lot. I mean guys watching you and vying for your attention. That’s why I got agitated, when you started screaming at me. I mean I was like isn’t it bad enough I’m not your #1 guy anymore, now you’re screaming at me!!”

Misty giggled. Ash still had her face between his hands. He bent down and kissed her forehead.

She had stopped sobbing and was laughing. Ash caressed her cheek.

Misty giggled again.

“You should have seen your face, when I pushed you away just then” she laughed. Ash chuckled. “Well, I’m not used being rejected by women”

Misty looked at him with a sneer. Ash chuckled and put an arm around her shoulder.

“And who ever said you were my #1 guy” Misty giggled sweetly.

Ash acted hurt. He then grinned and started tickling Misty.

“No, Ash..please”

. Ash tickled her harder. She ran around the stage with Ash on her heels. Ash was chuckling. Misty ran on to the field laughing hysterically. She had taken of her high heels and was running barefoot on the grass. Ash gave her a head start, cause he knew he ran faster than her.

Ash ran behind her. Misty tripped on her gown and fell on the grass. Her hair came loose and she was laughing.

Ash laid himself next to her.

Misty put her head on his chest and giggled lightly as she did so .

“Ash?”

“Mmm?”Ash replied caressing her long red hair.

“What did you really think off me when you first saw me yesterday?” Ash went silent for a moment.

“I thought… I saw heaven”.

Ash immediately regretted this answer.

Misty giggled. “You thought I looked like heaven?”

“Okay, look I didn’t know it was you. I mean , I mean…..oh never mind” Ash replied.

Misty giggled hysterically. “OMG….you think I’m gorgeous!!”

“I don’t like you in that way, okay” Ash replied in his defense.

“I never said you liked me, Ash. I just said you think I’m pretty.”

“I don’t!!”

Misty scowled at him.

“Okay, maybe I do, but that doesn’t mean anything!!!”

Misty giggled. “I know it doesn’t mean anything silly”

Ash looked away.

“And, and what about you??!! You obviously thought I was cute yesterday!!”

“Yeah , so?” Misty replied.

Ash had a surprise look on his face.

“Really, you thought I was cute?”

Misty nodded and giggled. “You’ve grown in to quite the young prince” she replied messing up his hair. She giggled again.

“You know I really like your laugh, I think it’s cute” Ash said to Misty. He thought he might as well say that, seeing that they were being so honest with each other.

“I like your laugh, too” Misty giggled looking up into his eyes.

Ash smiled and Misty scooted upwards to Ash’s eye level.

“God, I missed you”

“I’ve missed you too, Mist”

Ash leaned in to give Misty a kiss, but Misty scooted away.

“What are you doing?” Misty asked.

“Uhm, I was gonna give you a kiss. You know a friendly one” Ash lied covering up his mistake.

“O”.

Misty looked away blushing.

 

“Aaah…young love” a voice behind them muttered.

Ash and Misty looked up to see Brock standing a few feet away from where they were laying.

“Brock” both of them screamed. “What are you doing here!”

“I think the question is what are you guys doing here together……kissing. You know the rules.”

“We weren’t kissing!!” Misty said.

“ It’s nice to see you guys made up” Brock said ignoring Misty’s glares

“I already told you nothing happened between me and Ash!!” Misty lied.

“Yeah right…….everyone knows Ash’s the only person who can make you cry like you did” Brock let out coolly.

Misty went quiet.

“Anyway you better get back to the hotel, people started to wonder where you are. Besides the press is waiting.”

Misty nodded and picked herself off of the floor. She picked up her shoes.

“See yah dude” Brock said to Ash before turning around to walk to the parking lot.

Misty looked at Ash and smiled. He smiled back and blushed. She beckoned him to come closer and he obeyed.

“Still up for that kiss” she whispered sweetly in to his ear. Ash chuckled.

He leaned in to kiss her, but she dodged his lips and planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Bye” Misty mouthed.

“And by the way you still are my #1 guy”
