A Birthday Surprise



Disclaimer: I do nor own pokemon or any of its characters…etc….



A teenager strolled down the pavement of a Cerulean City road. Her orange hair bobbed 
about her shoulders, and her blue, glistening eyes reflected her happiness. A knee-length 
dress swirled around her, highlighting her curves. She was the picture of beauty, and in 
her hand, she held a small locket. She turned down a path and walked up to the front door 
of a house. Her house. A gym. She knocked on the door, and stared down at the locket in 
her hands. On the back, was a small engraving saying: ‘Misty, happy 14th Birthday. May 
our dreams meet someday. Ash.’ She smiled, three years ago he had given her that locket, 
and left to pursue his dreams. The engraving couldn’t be more fitting. The door of her 
house, being flung open, interrupted her thoughts. 
“HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY MISTY!!!!!” A crowd yelled from inside the gym. A light 
was flicked on, to reveal Misty’s family and friends…well, all except one friend. 
“Wow! You guys, you’ve really outdone yourselves again this year.” She exclaimed with 
joy, her eyes now revealing a tiny glimmer of sadness. 
“It is your 17th!” Yelled Brock, Misty’s old traveling companion. She laughed, and 
walked over to him.
“Besides,” Brock continued. “We had to make a special effort, seeing as you have a 
visitor!” Misty went quiet, as Brock stepped aside to reveal a handsome young man, with 
jet black hair and a baseball cap.

“Ash…” Misty breathed, as the young man nervously smiled. Even though he was now 
sixteen, his features were unmistakable. 
“Hi Misty.” Ash said. “It’s been a while.” Overwhelmed with emotions, love, anger, 
sadness, joy, Misty took her drink and threw it over Ash, before running up the stairs into 
her room.

Misty sobbed into her pillow for a few minutes, before she heard a gentle tap on her door.
“Go…..away.” She murmured, between her weeps. The tapping stopped, and the person 
at the door walked in, and sat on Misty’s bed. She turned over, wiping the tears from her 
face, to see Ash sitting there, smiling sadly.
“Sorry if coming here upset you Misty. I just wanted to see you after all these years, and 
to wish you happy birthday, now I had some spare time.” Said Ash, shuffling 
uncomfortably on the bed. Misty looked at Ash, realizing how much she had missed him, 
and how much she still loved him. 
“How are you getting on?” She whispered, staring at Ash’s dripping wet hair. 
“Ok…I’m trying out for the pokemon master league this year. Its starts next month, so 
I’m letting Pikachu rest up at Brock’s while he has the chance.” Ash replied, drying his 
hair with a towel. Misty looked into his eyes…she knew there was more behind a friendly 
chat to his visit.

“Misty, there was another reason I came today.” Misty smiled, she could see right 
through her friend. 
“Go ahead.” She said. 
“Well, over the past three years, I have been training for next month, but I was never 
complete. I tried various things, but my heart was never in it. That was when I realized 
what I was missing…you. I’ve missed you yelling at me and hitting me with your mallet. 
I’ve missed you calling me dense and pushing me over. But I’ve also missed your 
comforting smile, your ability to push me harder, your water pokemon chatting to 
Pikachu…and…I’ve missed our relationship. But, well, I wanted to tell you something. 
Misty Waterflower…I love you.” Ash confessed, and Misty threw her arms around his 
neck, wet and all.
“Oh Ash, I love you too.” And with that, they shared their first kiss with each other, 
embracing the moment, and embracing their love. 
“Here, a gift for you.” Ash said, handing Misty a small box. She opened it, and inside 
was a locket, which had an engraving on the back. It read: ‘I could give you many gifts 
Misty my love, but the only one you really need is the gift of my heart, and likewise, I 
need the gift of yours, if I may have it.  Yours forever, Ash. xxx’ Misty smiled, and put 
the locket on. 
“Ash, you don’t need to ask to have my heart, you captured it years ago!” Misty laughed, 
before meeting Ash’s lips for another kiss.
