Sorry it took so long, but I wasn't happy with how I've written this chapter and I rewrote it in two days. Hope you like it.
This chapter is not my favorite, but I's a hell lot better than how I first wrote it.



Hidden love part6 by Aalitichi

Five and a half years earlier.

“Hurry up he’ll be here any moment”

Delia was quite nervous. She wanted everything to be perfect for her son’s surprise party. Ash had just turned 14 and Misty, Brock and his mother had planned a big party at his house.
Not a lot of his friend were there since they were on they’re pokemon journey and couldn’t make it, in fact only seven had made it, including Misty and Brock.
Misty had helped with the decorations.

Brock had taken Ash out a few ours ago in order to give Misty and Delia some time to prepare and the guest to arrive.

“Where should I hide, Delia” asked Prof. Oak.

“Behind the couch, professor…… Gary you too”

Gary was talking to a tanned guy, with golden- blond hair that fell in front of bright blue eyes, named Tray.
The two girls that had made it to the party were sighing constantly, throwing him longing glances.
The brunette giggled as he winked at her.

“Where’s Misty?” asked Delia nervously.

“I’m here”

Misty came running down the stairs wearing a white dress with straps that came to the middle of her thighs and flat strappy sandals.
Her hair had messy waves in them (like Joss Stone’s hair) and was past her shoulders. She wore earings and a necklace made from shiny shells and she wore light makeup.

Tray tapped Gary on the shoulder and nodded in Misty’s direction.
The girls in the corner of the room had seen this and hissed furiously at the redheaded girl.


“There you are Misty dear. Uhm hide behind the dining table.”

“Yes Mrs. Ketchum” she replied catching Tray’s eye and smiling.

“O my god I hear footsteps. Everyone hide!!!” said Delia, turning off the lights.
The people in the room ran to their hiding places.

Misty ran to the table unaware that she was being followed by none other than Tray.
She bent down on her knees and squealed as something brushed up against her arm.

“Sorry I scared you” the boy whispered smiling.

Misty turned her face the other way, blushing furiously.

“Here they come you guys” whispered Delia.

The room went silent.
The front door opened slightly.

“Wow, mom and Misty must be sleeping already” uttered a male voice.

“Pika, pikachu pi” (Yeah, must be) pikachu lied.

Ash, Pikachu and Brock entered the room and turned on the lights.

“SURPRISE, happy birthday Ash!!!” the people in the room screamed as they jumped up from out of there hiding place.

“O wow” exclaimed Ash laughing. He was wearing his normal attire, except for his cap.

“Happy birthday Ashy” squealed the two girls.

They both came up to Ash.
Ash chuckled at the two girls.

“Marissa, Andrea nice to see you”

The girls gave Ash a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Making it Misty’s turn to hiss.

“You’re growing up quite nicely” uttered Andrea, a blond with tight jeans and a blue tank top.

“Yeah, very nicely” added the brunette, wearing a red dress.

Ash blushed and turned to look at the rest of the people in the room.
Pikachu went to the lunch table to stock up on ketchup

The girls were shocked that he had not complemented them on how they looked.
(Note: Ash was still a little stupid about girls in this period. He was still in the period when he only thought about pokemon. Let’s see what changes that, shall we.)

Ash smiled at Professor Oak and was about to walk over to him and have a talk about his pokemon, when something caught his eye.
It was Gary and Tray talking to a very beautiful girl in a white dress. The girl giggled as Tray caressed her arm lightly. Music started playing.

Ash walked over to where they were standing, believe it or not he wanted to get a better look at this beauty.

He gasped. “Misty?” he whispered.

The music was so loud, that Ash couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he was pretty sure that Gary and Tray were flirting with her.

Ash felt a pang of jealousy. He had never felt this way before, at least not when it came to girls.
Ash gulped and smiled as Gary turned around and looked at him.

“Well, look who’s here, it’s the birthdayboy!!”

Gary surprisingly didn’t sound annoying, he was trying to cut Ash some slack, cause it was his birthday.
But Ash was barely listening to him. His eyes wandered of and looked in Misty’s direction. Misty was looking at him as Tray talked to her.

In very rare occasions, that Misty caught him looking at her, he would turn his face away. He would tell himself that he was looking in her direction, but not directly at her.

The idea of actually liking Misty was hideous to him, well up to this moment.

Ash studied her face, then let his eyes wander over her body.
He couldn’t believe he had never noticed how perfectly shaped Misty’s body was. He felt a jolt of pleasure. Gary had left him alone to dance with Marissa.


Misty felt goosebumps. Ash had never looked at her in this matter.

“He couldn’t possibly think…nah” thought Misty. The thought of Ash liking how she looked was ludicrous.

“Misty?”
Misty had completely forgotten Tray was there.

“Ha?, I mean yes?”

“Would you like to dance?”

“Uh…ofcourse”Misty replied looking in Ash’s direction.
He was still looking at her.

Tray took a hold of her hand and led her to the middle of the living room, where Gary and Brock were already dancing with Andrea and Marissa, leaving Ash with no one to dance with.

An upbeat R&B song was playing.
Since Delia and professor Oak were in the kitchen, the teens were letting loose. They were dancing something that looked similar to dirty dancing, bumping and grinding in the dim lit living room.

It wasn’t soon enough that Tray and Misty had joined the party.
Misty put her arms around his neck and moved her hips to the beat. She could feel Ash’s eyes burn in to her neck and felt quite pleased with the thought, that Ash felt jealous. Though she knew that couldn’t be true…could it?

Minutes passed by and they were totally in to the song. Misty felt sweat trickle down her chest. Misty looked at Brock and Andrea and noticed to her great surprise that they were kissing.

She was aware that Mrs. Ketchum and the professor could walk in any moment and catch the teens in the act.

Tray started to pant as he looked at every movement Misty made with her hips.
Misty saw where this was going.

“Look Tray, I’m really starting to get tired. Can we sit down for a bit, please” she lied.

“O sure” said Tray a little disappointed.

They walked towards the couch only to see Ash sitting there, with pikachu beside him. Ash was trying not to look mad, but was failing miserably.

“Ash, are you okay” asked Tray.

“I’m fine”he muttered looking at Misty.

“Are you having a good time?” asked Misty.
Ash didn’t reply.

He had never felt so jealous in his life.

“Ash? Why don’t you get up and dance?”asked Misty.

“Oh, yeah with who…looks like everyone’s paired up with each other already” said Ash throwing Misty and Tray a murderous look.

“Well, what about me?” she whispered.

“With…you?”

“What? I thought you said you were tired.” exclaimed Tray. He was angry at the thought of Misty dancing with another guy.

“It’s his birthday” Misty whispered.

“I don’t care you’re with me”

“No, I’m not, we just danced that’s all”
Ash smiled at hearing this.
Before Tray said anything, Misty had took a hold of Ash’s hand and was leading him on to the dance floor away from Tray and Pikachu.

Ash looked at how Brock and Gary were dancing with the two girls and immediately regretted following Misty.

Misty looked at him. Ash looked at her pretty face and smiled. He felt what he had to do. It was like instinct.

He took a hold of her hands and put them on his shoulder. He then slid his hand on to her waist and pulled her in to him. (Ash and Misty are the same height) There faces were inches away. Ash gave her a lopsided smile.

Misty felt a shiver run down her spine, she had never been so close to Ash before and he had never treated her this way, she liked it a lot.

Ash started moving to the beat.
Misty was surprised that he moved so well, better than Tray even.
Actually she was more surprised that he knew this sort of dance so well.
Misty looked beside her and saw that Brock and Andrea were in a heated lip battle. She chuckled silently.

She paid full attention now to the boy in front of her. His messy black hair fell in to his eyes.

Misty really started getting in the mood as their movements became more dynamic.
Ash started to sweat and panted lightly.
He watched a sweat drop trickle from Misty’s neck down in between her bosoms and licked his lips.

This would have been an automatic stop sign for Misty, but it just felt so good having Ash look at her in that way. Just fantasizing that Ash liked dancing like this with her, just felt so great.
She had never noticed how incredibly good he smelled.

Misty started to pant lightly too.

Ash had never felt so drawn to the girl in front of him, it felt nice.

Ash slid his hands on to her butt.
Misty gasped lightly, as Ash gave her a sly smile. She returned it with a grin.

“Stop it…………..no I don’t think I want to” Ash thought to himself.

His hair was sticking on to his face from the sweat.

He laid his chin on Misty’s shoulder. His hair smelled like coconuts and his breath like mints.
Misty was well aware that it wasn’t only Tray watching, she was pretty sure that it was Brock grinning at them in the background. He had stopped kissing Andrea and was looking very interested at the couple in front of him.

Ash stopped resting his chin on her shoulder and rested his forehead on hers.
Misty ran her hands through his hair. Their dance had become more like a mating ritual.

Ash couldn’t put his thoughts straight. His mind was telling him that it was wrong, but his body felt that it was o soooo right.

“Stop, stop it!!!” a female voice screamed.

Ash and Misty looked up. Mrs. Ketchum was standing in the doorway with a bowl of chips in her hand. Professor Oak, standing behind her, stood on tiptoe to see what the fuss was all about. Delia looked around the room furious at the group of teenagers.

Brock and Andrea had let go of each other. Gary and Marissa too.
Ash and Misty, though weren’t aware that they were still holding each other and that Ash’s hands were on Misty’s butt. Delia looked at Ash and Misty with her mouth ajar.
Ash let go of Misty and stepped backwards.
Delia gulped as she looked at her son. She sighed and than looked at Misty.

“Well it’s about time your hormones kicked in…” Delia said looking between the two of them.

“MOM!!!!!!!” Ash screamed turning red. “Please!!”

Ash looked over at the equally embarrassed Misty.
His embarrassed look was replaced by a sly grin and a blush.


Five and a half years later.

“UNBELIEVABLE, WHAT A TERRIFIC MATCH!!”

“Cyndaquill finish it off with tackle!!”

The fire pokemon tackled the gigantic dragonlike pokemon in front of him.
Dragonite let out a roar and collapsed in front of it’s trainer.

“KETCHUM IS THE WINNER, KETCHUM IS THE WINNER!!!”

The crowd roared. A group of girls chanted: “We love you Ash!!”
There was even someone dressed in a Pikachu costume cheering him on.
But Ash didn’t care. He was looking at the stage at the beautiful girl in the silver, satin dress and with silver beads in her hair.

Misty’s sisters were also on the stage.
They surrounded Misty all wearing dresses as well.
They looked at Ash in awe.

“Wow, Misty he’s quite the guy, very handsome” Daisy whispered at her.

Misty ignored her sister and looked at the crowd.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THE NEXT MATCH WILL BE IN ONE HOUR”

“Ketchum take the stage, please. The date and time of your next match will be announced.” Said the referee.

Ash was waiting for this.

He walked towards the stage with Pikachu on his shoulder, looking up at where the beautiful women stood.

Misty was avoiding eye contact with him.

Ash hadn’t forgotten about the night before and was pretty sure why Misty was acting so weird.

“Hi, Ash” Lily let out.

She walked over to him and gave him a hug.
Misty sneered. Her sisters would never miss the opportunity to flirt with a guy, especially the future pokemon master.

Daisy and Violet walked over to him as well.
“Hi girls. You look great”said Ash giving Daisy and Violet a hug too.
“It’s to bad we didn’t get to see pikachu battle today” said Violet scratching pikachu behind the ear.

Pikachu purred softly.

“Yeah, I’ll be using him tomorrow” said Ash absentmindedly.
He was looking at Misty, who had made no move towards him and was looking at the other side of the stage.

Daisy looked at Ash and then at Misty.

“Like, what happened between the two of you?”

“Nothing” Ash lied.
Pikachu looked at Ash knowingly.

“Like, it’s just that Misty’s been acting strangely all morning and she’s told us to bring the message over to you”

“What message?” asked Ash looking at Misty as she left the stage.

“Like that your match tomorrow is against Cynthia Walker at 2 o’clock and that there will be a party tomorrow night at eight for all the trainers competing in the tournament” answered Lily.

“Don’t worry, Misty will be there” added Violet winking.

“O, uhm…..do you think that you can tell Misty that I know what she meant and same place 8 o’clock tonight”

At first the girls looked at him confused, but then they all grinned.

“Wow looks like someone’s been having a little to much fun” Daisy giggled knowingly.

“Kissy, kissy, kissy” Lily added.
They were waiting for Ash to deny.
Ash just shrugged and smiled slyly.

“O my god… it’s true?” the three asked in unison.

Ash blushed and said nothing.

“O god…o god…o god Misty’s boyfriend is hotter than mine and is Pokemon Master.” Violet cried out.

“So you guys finally confessed!!”

“Not exactly…she did and I didn’t”

“But you do like her right?” asked Daisy.

“Yeah, ofcourse I do, I’m in love with her actually”

“Awww..” they said in unison.
Pikachu looked at his trainer and chuckled.

“But don’t tell her that, I wanna do it myself, just give her my message, please.”

“Sure!!”

Ash smiled at the three women and mouthed a thanks.

Daisy, Lily and Violet smiled.

Ash walked off the stage, smiling. He couldn’t wait for tonight, when he would tell Misty how he feels.

But the only thing getting in the way of that was Catherina.

He had to break it off with her, if he wanted to be with Misty.
He hadn’t seen her today at the match, actually.
Ash looked at the place, where Catherina usually stood waiting for him after every match.
There were only a few people in the seats, including the person in a Pikachu suit, but no Catherina.

“That’s strange” thought Ash, a little mad that Catherina wasn’t there.

“Probably for the best” thought Ash looking back at the now empty stage.

At the sight of Ash, the gigantic Pikachu walked on to the field and towards him.

Pikachu tapped Ash on the head and nodded towards the gigantic Pikachu walking towards them.
“Probably wants an autograph” Ash chuckled.

The Pikachu ran towards Ash and gave him a hug.
“Holy ****” Ash exclaimed trying to push the pikachu of off him.

“Is it that bad” asked a female voice coming from the pikachu.

It slowly donned to Ash, that it was Catherina with a painted on Pikachu face and floppy ears in a striped suit.

“Cathy?” Ash whispered.

“Yeah, isn’t this great”

“Wow, you look……wow…uhm why?”

“To support you silly!!” she answered giggling.

Pikachu was rolling on the ground in laughter.

“Aww Cathy…”said Ash chuckling.

“O, o look” said Catherina pressing something on her chest.
A singing Pikachu voice could be heard threw the whole stadium.
A few people in the crowd were laughing and pointing at Catherina, as she danced to the beat of the singing pikachu.

Ash chuckled.

“O Cathy, you’re really something” said Ash.

Pikachu stopped laughing and was looking at his trainer cautiously.
Catherina hugged him.

“I gotta go shopping for my dress, for tomorrow evenings party…wanna come?”

“Uh no thanks” said Ash quickly, well aware that nothing good could come out of that.

“Fine, I wanna keep it a secret anyway” said Catherina winking. “Bye then”
She waved at Ash and Pikachu.

Ash chuckled at the silly girl.

“Pika pi pi kapi chu chupi ka pik pikachu”
(You know you got to break up with her, don’t you.)

“Yeah I know, but pikachu look at her. I can’t break up with her now, look at what she did for me”

Pikachu sighed.

“Pi pika chu pika pik pika pi kapi”
(You have to figure out what you want)

“I know what I want, Pikachu. I want Misty!!”

“Chu chupi pika kapi ka chu pi, pikachu ka”
(It sure didn’t look like it, just then)

“ I’m gonna break up with Catherina, just give me some time okay!!”


Backstage at the stadium.


“Like Misty I have a message for you from Ash” said Daisy. The girls were having their makeup redone before they had to take the stage again.

“I don’t want it!!”

“Like he said it is really important that you know, that he knows what you meant and same place at 8 o’clock.”

Misty almost fell from her chair in shock. Sure she was mad at Ash for using her only for pleasure, but she had no idea Ash had actually figure out what she meant by what she said.

She had really regretted what she said and had thought that Ash, being as dense and thick headed as he is, wouldn’t have figured it out, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Misty, like, are you okay?” asked Violet nervously looking at the white faced girl.

“Yeah, I’m fine” she gulped. “Excuse me I have to be alone for a sec.”
She got up and walked towards her room.

“Misty, sweetheart we have to fix your hair” said Carlos.
Misty ignored him and shut the door behind her.

“O my god, o my god” whispered Misty running her hands threw her hair.

“He wants to meet me at eight…why?” she thought.

“Probably to tell me that he doesn’t feel the same way or to tell me that are friendship is over”
Misty burst out in to silent tears.

“O my god what did I do?…What am I going to do?” she thought wiping away the tears.

“I gotta tell him it isn’t true. It wouldn’t help with much, though. I mean what’s the point of being with him if I know he would never feel the same way. Our whole friendship would be a lie.”
Misty sobbed.

“Like Misty hurry up” said Daisy opening the door of Misty’s dressing room. “The match is… o Misty!!”

She looked at the redheaded girl with the bloodshot eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing” Misty replied wiping her eyes.

“Is it Ash”

Misty began to sob again.

“Misty you can tell me!…is it about the message”

Misty didn’t reply.

“Misty, please…I know I haven’t been the best sister in the world, but…”

“Ash knows I love him and he wants to see me tonight to tell me that our friendship is over!” Misty sobbed.

“You got all that from a message?”

“Well, I’m pretty sure that’s what it is Daisy”

“Like, how do you know? Asked Daisy.

“He can’t possibly like me back, he has a girlfriend!!”

Daisy was surprised by hearing this.

“Well…uhm…if he doesn’t like you, which I think is impossible, then he wouldn’t end your friendship because of that. I mean you’re his best friend and knowing Ash I don’t think he would end your friendship even if you said you hated his guts”

Misty smiled.

She knew Daisy was right, but she couldn’t bear to know that Ash could never feel the same way about her.

Misty wiped away a tear. “You’re right, Daisy….thanks!!”

Daisy wanted so much to tell her sister what Ash had told her earlier, but remembered that she promised Ash she wouldn’t.

“Misty we got to get your makeup and your hair fixed the next match starts in 10 minutes!!”said Daisy looking at her watch.

Misty stood up and followed Daisy out of the room.

Carlos was standing outside of her room.

“O my gosh…..Jacque bring the mascara and curling iron this is an emergency!!!!!!” he exclaimed.



At the pokemoncenter in Ash’ room.


“Pikachu chu pikachupi pik” ( I hope Misty makes it, for your sake) exclaimed Pikachu looking at his depressed trainer.

“Yeah…she wouldn’t even look at me, today!! She has to come, I need to tell her…Maybe …she doesn’t like me after all. I mean I could be wrong.”
Ash put his hands on his head.

“Pik pikapi, pika pi chupi ka chu kapi pikachu pik pi pi ka chu pikachu chupi kapi pika pika pikachu pikachu chu kapi ka chupi’(Common Ash, ofcourse she likes you. I mean that speech she gave you made it so obvious and besides everyone knows you guys are hopelessly in love with one another.)

Ash looked at Pikachu with a blush on his face. “Everyone?”

“Pikachu” (Everyone)

Ash laid on his bed and looked up at the ceiling.

It slowly donned to him. “Misty likes me!!” he whispered quietly.

“Wow, she likes me”exclaimed Ash chuckling.

A blush crept up to his cheek.

“Pi pika pikachu, Pikachu pik kapi pik”(She sure does, I think she loves you!!)
Ash chuckled again.

“Let’s not overreact, Pikachu, it’s already hard to believe she has a crush on me”

“I’m going to give her the world Pikachu. I’m going to make her happy every day. I might even make her……… love me, cause I sure as hell love her.”
Ash looked love struck.

Pikachu chuckled. “Pika chu ka pi kapi chupi pikachu” (Let’s just make sure she comes tonight)

There was a knock on the door.

“It couldn’t be Catherina, she’s shopping” thought Ash.

There was a harder knock on the door.

“I’m coming” exclaimed Ash.
He walked towards the door and unlocked it.

“My sweetheart!!!!”

“Mom?”

Delia hugged her son tightly.

“My god you’ve grown!!!” said Delia looking at her son.

“My baby is all grown up and is going to be a pokemon master!!!” she said tears welling up in her eyes.

“Pika!!!”. Pikachu jumped in to Delia’s arms and licked her face.

“It’s weird that she doesn’t seem to age, isn’t it” said a male voice in the doorway.

“Brock!!” Ash exclaimed.

“I thought you were working at a pokemon center down town”

“Well, I got fired” he said.

“O…too much flirting?”

“Yeah”
Brock looked at the ground disappointed.

Ash chuckled.

“Hey how do you know…?” started Brock

“Misty”

“Now Ash you know you can’t see or talk to Misty during the tournament”

“O, that picture of her in the lobby is quite…is quite…”began Delia.
She didn’t want to insult Misty, because she thought she was a nice girl.
“Nice” she ended.

Ash blushed.

“How is she?” she asked petting Pikachu.

“She’s good!!” Ash answered blushing.

Delia and Brock sat down.

“Ash, as much as I know you guys want to catch up on things, if you get caught with Misty, you’ll get disqualified and you can kiss your title goodbye”said Brock

“Fine I won’t see her, okay”

“It’s such a shame you two aren’t aloud to speak to each other. It’s always so cute to see you fight with each other over little things.” Delia said, scratching pikachu behind the ear.

“So mom how’s everything?” Ash asked trying to change the subject.

“Everythings fine…I’ve been worried about you”

“O, mom”

“You could call once in a while to check up on your mother, dear”

“Yeah and on your friends too” Brock added.

“I know, I’m sorry”

“You know you mean everything in the world to me.” Delia said.

Ash chuckled at this.

“I love you too, mom”

“So, mom. You could have told me you were dropping by; I would have fixed the place up a bit” Ash said looking at his messy room.


“I called the pokemoncenter at least ten times last night, but nurse Joy said that you weren’t in your room. I told them to give you the message, but she must have forgotten.”

“Yeah, maybe” said Ash remembering, seeing nurse Joy a sleep on her desk, when he arrived back from the beach.

“Mmm?…Where were you?” asked Brock knowingly. He cocked an eyebrow.

Ash looked at Brock furiously. Brock had a feeling with who Ash was the night before.
Delia looked curiously between the two men.

“Pikachu” (Busted)

“Well, Ash?” asked Brock, knowing that it would embarrass Ash, if his mother found out.

“”Uhm I was at the beach”

“Dear lord what were you doing at the beach at such an hour?” asked Brock sarcastically.

“Nothing” he answered sheepishly.

“Now that’s strange, I wouldn’t think you would risk getting out so late…you know with the paparazzi following your every move and all, unless….it was something important.”

Delia looked at the young men confused.

“Allright, Misty was there”

“And what were you guys doing exactly at such an hour alone on the beach”
Ash blushed furiously.

“I don’t know…talk”

“Oh my baby has a girlfriend!!!”exclaimed Delia.

Pikachu laughed at his crimson trainer.

“Mom, she’s just a friend” he said not wanting to tell his mom or Brock about the events of the previous night.

“My son is gonna marry the hostess and they are going to have beautiful children!!”

“Mom??!!”

The dramatic scene was interrupted by a tap on the door.

“Ashy open up it’s me!!!” a sweet voice chirped.

“O, no!!!Catherina” Ash blurted out.

“Who’s Catherina?” asked Delia.

Ash didn’t answer her.
He looked around the room exasperated, as if he wanted to crawl some where and die.

“Ash open up!”
The knocking became louder.

“Now that’s rude; leaving someone waiting at the door.” Delia exclaimed letting pikachu go and walking over to the door to open it.
Catherina looked surprised at the woman in front of her.

“Hello, you must be a friend of Ash’s” Delia said looking at the pretty blond.

Catherina’s surprised look was replaced with a broad smile, as she put her shopping bags down.

“Hi, you must be Ash’s mom” she exclaimed shaking Delia’s hand.

Ash felt a little uncomfortable with Catherina being there, especially because he was going to break up with her and especially when she was wearing a tight and very revealing jeans skirt and red top.

“Ashy there you are” said Catherina entering the room and giving Ash a peck on the lips. Pikachu growled.
Delia’s surprised look didn’t go unnoticed by Ash.
Brock wasn’t all that impressed since he had met Catherina once before.

“Uhm, mom this is Catherina. She’s my girlfriend” Ash said blushing.

Delia gulped and took a good look at the girl hugging her pride and joy.


“Well, that’s nice” she answered.
She wasn’t all that happy about Catherina’s appearance, but thought she must be great if Ash had chosen her.

“And this is Brock, Cathy”

“Hi” she said waving to Brock. Brock nodded in her direction. She was quite pleased that he was checking her out.

Delia and Brock sat back down. Pikachu jumped back in to Delia’s arms.

Catherina and Ash sat next to each other on the bed. Catherina hugged Ash
and rested her head on his shoulder.
Ash sat there rather stiff, aware that his mother was staring at them in awe.

“So Catherina, is it?How did you meet Ash”

“We met when he came to my gym to battle for a badge and I have to say Mrs. Ketchum he is quite the pokemontrainer. Good genes I suppose” said Catherina, winking. (What a slime ball)

Pikachu rolled his eyes.

“Pika” (Typicall)

Mrs. Ketchum laughed pleased with Catherina’s answer.

“No he get’s it from his father…sometimes he reminds me a lot of him” she said smiling.

Catherina and Delia just sat there admiring Ash for a while. Pikachu jumped out of Delia’s arms, furious with how well things were going between Catherina nad Mrs. Ketchum.

“Shall I go get something to eat?” Brock asked, not wanting to sit around and chat about how cute Ash really was. “You guys want anything?”

“No” answered Delia and Catherina in unison.

“Actually I would like…” started Ash, but Brock had already left the room with Pikachu on his heels. “I’m hungry” he muttered frustrated.

“That’s Ash for yah, always had an appetite” giggled Delia.

Catherina laughed at the exasperated expression on Ash’s face.

“One time at the Palet town carnival he ate so much food, he farted the whole way back to the house”

Catherina covered her mouth to suppress a giggle, but failed as she burst out in laughter.

Ash turned crimson and scowled at his mother.

“And there was this one time when we were at Professor Oak’s laboratory and Ash really had to go…you know pee. The thing was that the bathroom was occupied. Ash couldn’t wait any longer so he began doing his bussines, behind a bush in the professor’s garden, not knowing that he was being filmed by the camera- man who had came that they to do a documentary on the professor’s pokemon “ Delia said in between giggles.

Catherina hollered and looked at the embarrassed teenage boy sitting next to her.

She hugged him still giggling.

Ash chuckled a little bit himself, though he was still blushing.

“Aww, poor Ash he’s embarrassed “ she exclaimed, giving him a peck on the cheek.

“You’ll pay for laughing at me” Ash said grinning. He hugged Catherina tightly and nuzzled her neck with his nose.

“O, you guys look so cute together” Delia exclaimed. “As cute as you and Misty”

Ash winced, he knew what was coming next.

“Misty, do you mean the hostess?” asked Catherina looking at Ash. “But she’s a total witch, right?….Ash’s told me how mean she is and that he doesn’t want anything to do with her”

Delia looked confused.
“You must be mistaken…Ash and Misty are the best of friends. They were thick as thieves when they were younger.”

Ash looked as the confused look on Catherina’s face turned to anger.

“You lied to me” she whispered coldly. “You unbelievable *******”
Delia looked at her son, not aware of what she did.

“I can’t do this anymore” Catherina said bursting out in hysterics.

This would have been a perfect time to end their relationship, but Ash didn’t know what came over him.

He watched as Catherina shook her head in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Cathy…”

“Don’t speak to me you good for nothing…”

“Cathy, please listen to me” said Ash, wondering why he was apologizing to her in the first place.

“All those times you couldn’t be with me you were with her weren’t you?”

“No” Ash whispered, only for Catherina to hear.
Delia sat there with her mouth ajar.

“You lied to me once, how do I know you’re not lying to me now, I can never trust you again”
Catherina stood up to walk over to the door, but Ash grabbed her hand.

“Look, Cathy. There’s nothing going on between me and Misty”

“If there wasn’t anything going on between the two of you, than why did you lie!!!” she screamed.

“Look I don’t know!! All I know is, is that I didn’t want to lose you” he said.

“Breakup with her you ****ing prick” he mentally screamed at himself.
But he couldn’t and he just couldn’t figure out why.

Probably, because his mother was there and he didn’t want Catherina to make a scene in front of her, he thought.

Catherina was still crying, but calmed down a bit.

“I just can’t stand the way are relationship is going” she whispered as Ash caressed her hair. “Were always arguing”

“That’s what keeps the passion between us” Ash chuckled, forgetting that his mom was watching the two teens dumbfounded.

Catherina giggled, between tears.

Ash looked in to her blue eyes and was mesmerized.
“Holy ****, what’s happening” he thought.
Catherina gave him a bright smile.

Ash blushed. “You are so beautiful” he whispered.

And the worst of it all was…he meant it.

“Please, promise me you’ll try not to lie”

“I promise” Ash said giving her a peck on the cheek.
A loud cough could be heard, coming from where his mom was sitting.

The two teens looked at the woman sitting on the cough in front of them, only to see that Brock and Pikachu had come back.
Pikachu sat there with his mouth covered in ketchup and a couple of packs in his paws. He looked furious at his trainer and Ash knew why.

Ash chuckled nervously and let Catherina go.

“Well I think it’s best we leave these two lovebirds alone” said Delia smiling.
Brock and Pikachu though weren’t smiling.

Pikachu had told Brock what happened the previous night between Ash and Misty and that Ash was going to break up with Catherina.

Brock shook his head disapprovingly and Pikachu scowled.

“No it’s okay Mrs. Ketchum I have to go anyway, got some more shopping to do.” Catherina said picking up her shopping bags.

She stood on tiptoe and gave Ash a peck on the lips.

“See you tomorrow?”

“Yeah” Ash mouthed.

She smiled and walked over to the door.

“Nice to meet you guys” she said smiling.
She winked at Ash and left.

“Now she’s a nice girl, isn’t she?” asked Delia

Back at Manky hotel.

“Misty shouldn’t you get ready for your date with Ash.

“It’s not a date and I’m not going!!” she replied.
Misty was wearing her pajamas and lay under the covers of her bed.

Daisy, Violet and Lily had entered the room.

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t think I can bear when Ash rejects me!!”

“Like Misty, I thought we already had this talk” replied Daisy.

“I know Daisy, but I just can’t bear to know that Ash doesn’t feel the same!!” Misty said coming out from under her covers. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Misty what really happened the night you told him you like him?” Violet asked exhausted.

There was an awkward silence.

“Misty?”

“Well, Ash asked me if he could see me, you know to catch up on things. So I told him to meet me on the beach. That same afternoon I found out he had a girlfriend. So I thought he couldn’t possibly like me and that he just thinks off me as a friend.
We met on the beach that night and………….” said Misty looking at the carpet.

“Go on” Lily encouraged.

“He kept touching me in these weird ways…nothing perverted or anything. It’s just the way he kept touching me that made me feel all jittery inside. There were times when I was sure he liked me, but he just kept saying he was only doing what a friend was supposed to do, or he would say it was his hormones at work!”

Misty burst out in to tears.

Lily looked at Daisy exasperated.

Daisy shook her head cautiously and mouthed a no.

“Look Misty at least you know he’s physically attracted to you. I know that’s not much but it’s something.”

“What do you mean?” Misty asked tears streaming down her face.

“ Look Misty, he must at least like the way you look, I mean why else would he touch you like the way you say he does. Physical attraction can always lead to more”

“But Daisy he has a girlfriend there must be something that this girl has that I don’t and besides what you’re saying could be true, but there’s a great chance it isn’t true!!”
Daisy sighed.

“Like Misty just meet him tonight. You can’t keep avoiding him forever”
Misty knew her sister was right.

“Okay, I’ll go”
Daisy smiled. “Great, we’ll help you get ready”

Violet took out her makeup bag and blow dryer.

“If you get rejected, you should at least look good when you do”
Lily scowled at her sister.

Eight o’clock at sailor bay.

Misty walked passed the sleeping guard threw the second entrance and over the lit sand wearing a light blue tight dress. Her hair had been blowdryed and was worn loose. She wore black flip- flops and silver earings. Misty ran her fingers threw her hair nervously.

She felt butterflies in her stomach, this would be the moment she had to face Ash.

She looked at the dim lit sand and saw something sparkle. Misty picked it up and saw that it was a shiny shell. She could have sworn she had seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t remember where.

She looked at where she found it and saw another one. There was a whole trail of them.
She followed it, looking at the ground, not seeing where she was going.

It was a really long trail.

Suddenly she bumped in to something or rather…. someone.

She looked up in to the eyes of a very handsome and familiar guy, wearing a very old pair of baggy jeans and a black loose shirt.

“Mist” he whispered.

He looked very nervous and frightened, almost like he was going to throw up.
Misty looked at the ground and backed away.

“Ash, about yesterday……it wasn’t true. None of it was true.” She said, surprised by her words. “I was just caught up in the moment. I mean it was like you said…just hormones.

“O….uhm right. I mean how could it be true, how could it ever be true!!” Ash said, anger noticeable in his tone of voice.

“That’s just something for you to do isn’t it!! Tell someone something and then taking it back, you ****ing *****!!” he screamed , letting his anger take the best of him, tears forming in his eyes.
His predictions were true, Misty didn’t like him after all, let alone love him

Misty looked very surprised and frightened at his sudden outburst.

Her surprised face then screwed up in anger.

“Well, what about you, you *******!! You keep touching me in your perverted ways and act like it’s all fine.” Misty yelled back on the verge of tears.

“It’s not fair, it’s not fair that you make me get my hopes up!!!” he screamed back at her.

“Get your hopes up for what, for screwing me over for that blond *****!!!” she screamed walking over to Ash and hitting him on the chest with her fists.
Ash tried to take a hold of her hands, but he failed.
“You son of a *****” she screamed in between tears, still hitting him on the chest.

“Well what do you care!! You don’t like me anyway!!! Even though I’m in love with you!!” he screamed back grabbing a hold of her arms and shaking her.

Tears were streaming freely now over his face.

“Well, I’m in love with you too, you ****ing prick!!”Misty screamed back at him slapping him against the cheek.

“We both said that” Ash screamed back at her.

“I know!!!!!!!” she said.

“Well I’m gonna kiss you now and you better like it!!!” he screamed back.

“Okay!!!” she screamed.

Ash pressed his lips firmly on hers, putting his hands on her waist. She held on tight to his head, messing up his hair in the process. Misty and Ash sobbed and laughed at the same time.

Ash broke the firm kiss and started giving her little pecks on the lips, wiping the tears from her face.
“I love you” he whispered in between kisses.

He broke away panting lightly and looked at the very beautiful girl with a smile on his face.
“Do you really love me?” he asked wiping away the remainder of his tears.

Misty nodded, breathing heavily.

“ I love you too. You mean the world to me, Mist”

“O, gosh”Misty exclaimed, closing her eyes and smiling happily, as Ash nudged her nose lightly with his.

They closed their eyes and leaned their foreheads against eachother.
Ash touched her lips with his finger, whispering: “God I love you”

“O gosh” Misty exclaimed again a tear streaming down her face.

“Can I keep you” Ash whispered, touching her lips lightly with his.
Misty giggled.

“Yes, yes, yes” she exclaimed smiling.

He smiled and grasped her hand and felt something in it.

“I was hoping you’d find those” he said looking at the shiny shells.

“Yeah….. I’ve seen them before” Misty said looking at Ash questioningly.

“They are from the necklace you wore at my surprise party a few years back. I found it when I went to visit my mom right after you left…..You know that day at my party, when we danced. That’s when I realized that I was in love with you.”

“Really?” Misty giggled.

“Yeah” Ash replied kissing her forehead.

“You know what, I’ve got an unopened bottle of whine from the previous night, what do you say we celebrate?” he whispered in between kisses.

“Mhm” Misty replied savoring his lips.

He broke away, taking a hold of her hand and leading her to the basket.
She sat down on the blanket beside the basket and watched Ash take a bottle of red whine and two glasses from out of the basket.

He poured the red liquid in the glasses and sat down next to the beautiful girl that was now his.

He handed her a glass.

She smiled radiantly as she took it.

“God, you’re invigorating” he whispered smiling at her.

“What were you thinking….Catherina is nothing compared to her” he thought to himself.

Misty giggled and blushed, as she took a sip of the warm liquid.

“Mmm this is good” she said looking at her now half empty glass. “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were trying to get me drunk, Mr. Ketchum”

Ash smiled slyly and finished his glass in one gulp. “Maybe” he whispered scooting closer to her.

Misty took another gulp of her whine and then pressed her lips on Ash’s.
Ash moaned softly as she stuck her tongue in his mouth.
Misty groaned as he caressed her cheek softly.

She broke the kiss and finished her glass of whine, winking at him.

He smiled slyly; still hot from the kiss.

“More whine?”

Misty nodded, already feeling a bit tipsy; she wasn’t used to drinking more than a half glass of whine.

Ash poured more whine in his glass and hers.

“Mmm” Misty muttered gulping down her second glass.

“God, it’s hot” she muttered laying herself down on the blanket and grabbing the bottle of whine from between her and Ash.

“It’s the alcohol” he whispered, caressing her hair.

Misty moaned taking a sip from the bottle.
She began to unbutton her dress from the front. She sighed as she unbuttoned her dress to her waist, revealing her tight stomach and a red lacy push- up braw.

Ash smiled and bent down to give her a kiss on her stomach, he was trying not to look turned on. But he failed when he moaned as Misty moved on the blanket and jiggled her breast in the process.

Misty giggled lightly.

“Ash, do you really love me?”

‘You know I do” he whispered, kissing her collarbone.

“Mist, you’re the only girl for me”
Ash caressed her cheek with his finger. Misty took another swig of the whine and started laughing hysterically.

“I can’t believe this is happening!!” she exclaimed, sitting up.

“I can’t believe how much I love you!!” she screamed.
Ash chuckled and gave her a peck on the lips. Misty got up and started twirling around, not making any movement to button up her dress..

“Common baby dance with me”

Ash chuckled.

“We don’t have any music, Mist”

“We can make our own music!!”

Ash stood up, chuckling.

He grasped Misty by the waist and pulled her into him.

“Sing to me” she whispered.

“Misty, you know I can’t sing” Ash chuckled, kissing her nose.

“I don’t care” she whispered.

“I don’t know what song to sing”

“Just sing something” she said looking him in the eyes.

Ash was silent for a while, looking at the dark sea behind them in thought.
He then looked back at Misty smiling and started dancing slowly.

“Someday….when I’m oftly low….
And the world is cold…..
I just feel a glow …
Just thinking of you….
And the way you look tonight”

Ash hummed the rest of the song, as they danced.

He twirled Misty occasionally, chuckling.
Misty started humming with him and giggled everytime he bent down to kiss her nose.

She squealed as he dipped her and pressed his lips on hers.
Ash lost his balance and fell on top of her in the white sand, laughing hysterically.

Misty giggled kissing him on the cheek.
His laughter subdued when he realized the position they were laying in.
Misty legs were spreaded and Ash lay in between them, his head just above her shoulder.
He felt her breasts press against his chest.

“I’m sorry” he whispered trying to get off of her.

“No it’s okay, Ash. You don’t need to apologize.” Misty giggled. She found it so adorable when he acted all shy and gentleman like.

“I just didn’t want you to ever say the words you said yesterday again” Ash whispered looking serious and a little hurt.

“What words?” Misty asked trying to recall what she said.

“That I took advantage of you and used you only for pleasure” Ash whispered.

“O, Ash. I’m sorry. But you got to understand, that I love you and I thought you didn’t feel the same and I was depressed” Misty whispered.

She caressed his cheek and kissed his chin.

“Mist, I hope you know that I would never take advantage of you. And if you’re not ready to…you know and I get a little carried away just tell me”

. “Don’t worry, I’m ready” she whispered.
Ash smiled. She kissed his neck lightly.
She gasped as he retuned the favor by caressing her breasts.
Ash nibbled on her ear.

“Oh, Ash” she gasped.

“HEY, YOU’RE NOT ALOUD ON THE BEACH AFTER DARK!!!”

Misty and Ash looked up frightened.

Three guards were running in there direction.

“Oh my god they can’t catch me with you!!!” Misty screamed. Ash got off of her quickly.

“Misty leave, I’ll handle it”

“No Ash, come with me”

“No, I’ll distract them, so you can get away!!! Go now before they see you!!!!!”

Misty hesitated.

“Go!!!!” he screamed.

Misty ran as fast as she could in the other direction.

“This is the second time I catch you trespassing!!” one of the guards exclaimed as they caught up with Ash.

“You’re going to the police bureau, pal….no excuses this time and will catch your pretty little friend someday, too” he said pointing at the running redhead.

“Common, I have a match tomorrow.” Ash exclaimed, trying to get himself out of the sticky situation.

“O yeah, you’re the one with the Pikachu” the other one exclaimed.

“Buddy, I don’t care if you’re the queen of England you’re under arrest!!!!!”
