G’day everyone! My bad for writing up one of these comment thingys sooner (I suck at computers okay?) This is my first time writing a Pokemon fic so go easy on me okay? Heck, I don’t even know how the anime story goes (seeing that I live in the middle of no where with no good TV reception >.<) But that’s not going to stop me writing a fic! Thank God for the video games (so I’ve got a vague idea what to base this fic off) Obviously I don’t own Pokemon (apart from the ones I've caught on my Game Boy ^_^) otherwise I would actually know how the anime goes *rolls eyes*. Feel free to give me a yell at bunny_worth@hotmail.com

And one more thing before I get straight back into it, Ash is around 17 while Misty is 18. ^_^ Let’s get this show rolling.

Unexpected Adventure, part two.

‘Well last night was fine’ Ash thought as he gave a yawn and stretched to prepare himself for the day ahead. He woke up Pikachu.

Ash had slept on the sofa whilst Misty was in her room. Ash grabbed his backpack, jammed his hat on his head and made his way up to Misty’s room.

‘I hope she’s as pumped as I am’ Ash thought.
He knocked on her door.
“Hey Mist. You almost ready?” he called.
She opened the door, smiling nervously.
‘Wow, she really is beautiful, much more than I remembered…’ Ash thought.
“’Morning Ash. Yep, I'm almost ready, just need to fix my hair a little bit” she replied gesturing to her wild hair.
“I wouldn’t bother” Ash said.
“Huh?” she turned to him.
“It’s beautiful- I mean, it won’t matter on the trip much will it?” Ash replied hastily.
‘Shoot, I really hope she didn’t hear me properly’ he thought.
Ash looked at her with hope.
That’s when she started to laugh.
“Just because your hair hasn’t seen a hairbrush in years Ash Ketchum, doesn’t mean that mine hasn’t” she poked her tongue at him. She turned to go back in her bedroom.
“I’ll be back in a second” she said.
‘Phew, I don’t think she noticed anything’ Ash thought.

‘What was that he said? “It’s beautiful”? And was he blushing? Does this mean he has feelings for me or am I just reading too much into this? I guess this trip will tell…’ Misty thought.
With that, Misty took her rucksack then faced Ash.
“Ready” she smiled.
Ash raised an eyebrow.
“Not bothering with the hair?”
“Nope. You said it was beautiful after all, so why bother?” Misty teased.
Ash turned red.
‘Dangit! She did hear me’ Ash thought.
‘This is new. Ash getting all embarrassed so quickly’ Misty thought as she smiled to herself.
“I didn’t say that! Did I?!” Ash spluttered, trying to aimlessly defend himself.
“Pika pi chu” (Er, you did Ash) Pikachu responded.
Ash just glared. As Misty walked on in front Ash muttered
“You’re supposed to be on my side Pikachu…”
“Pi pi chu pika pi” (All’s fair in love and war) Pikachu reasoned.
“Oh be quiet” Ash snapped.
‘Love and war? Ash likes me? Why isn’t he telling me this? Unless if its some other girl… No, it couldn’t be… Even Pikachu is in on this act.’
Misty walked out of the Gym’s doors and locked them, completely lost in thought.
She turned to face Ash… except she couldn’t see Ash anywhere!
“Ash!” she called.
There was a banging from the Gym door on the inside!
“Misty, you locked me in, you ditz!” Ash yelled.

A few minutes later, Ash, Pikachu and Misty were all outside, the Gym doors locked securely.
“What was all that about Mist?” Ash asked, laughing.
“Er… Just lost in thought” Misty replied.
“Aww.. Daydreaming about your secret crush, eh?” Ash laughed.
Misty blushed immediately.
“No! Just thinking about the trip. That’s all” she said immediately.
“Sure, sure” Ash laughed as her started to walk on.
Misty followed him.
‘Secret crush? Does he know that I like him? How come he’s so chilled about it?’ Misty sighed.
‘Boys… They’re impossible’

Misty, Ash and Pikachu soon approached the unexplored cave (A.N: It’s the Unknown Dungeon okay? Work with me here, lol ^_^)
They entered and stopped for a moment to let their eyes adjust to the darkness.
“Time to find those rare Pokemon eh?” Ash said enthusiastically. Misty couldn’t help but be immersed in his chocolate brown eyes.
‘He’s so much more handsome…’ Misty thought as she continued to stare.
“Er, Mist? Are you okay?” Ash raised an eyebrow.
Misty blushed immediately.
“Umm, yeah, fine. Let’s go” Misty walked on in front.

‘What was that about? Why was she staring at me? Do I have food on my face or something?’ Ash thought as he rubbed his face quickly.

They continued to walk. They made small conversations about what they got up to over the last few years.
Ash couldn’t help but think that Misty was acting a little odd as they sat down and ate their lunch.

Ash then heard a fluttering sound, the sound of wings… Many wings.
He turned around immediately to see a swarm of Goldbat heading straight towards them.
“Misty get down!!” Ash yelled as he pushed a surprised Misty down and covered her.
“Pikachu, use thunderbolt on them!” Ash yelled as the Goldbat were starting to attack him.
“Pika! (sure thing) Pika- CHU!!” Pikachu sprung into action and thunderbolted the Goldbat.
The Goldbat were temporarily shocked and flew off in the other direction quickly.
“Pika chu” (And that is that) Pikachu declared.
Pikachu then looked to Ash and Misty.
“Pika chu pi pika pi chu” (They’ve gone already Ash. You can stop your flirting now.) Pikachu said slyly.
Ash was still on top of Misty, unaware what his beloved Pikachu said. He was staring down at Misty who was smiling up at him. Ash was mesmerised by her aqua eyes… ‘She’s so beautiful… Especially after not seeing her these last few years, it makes me really appreciate how much I've missed her…’ Ash thought.
“Ash” Misty said, breaking his thoughts.
“Huh? Yeah Misty?” Ash replied.
“You can get off me now” she said with a smile.
“Huh?” Ash looked around in shock.
“Oh, right. They’ve gone” he mumbled.
He blushed as he jumped up. Misty just giggled as was still blushing and got back on to her feet.
“Sorry” Ash said gruffly, not meeting Misty’s eyes.
“Don’t worry about it Ash.” Misty replied.
“Pika pi chu pi chu” (Love is in the air!) Pikachu started to sing.
Ash glared at him.
“Oh be quite you.”

‘What’s this Pikachu’s singing? And Ash isn’t denying it? Does he really like me?...’ Misty’s thoughts trailed off.
They continued to walk.
“So what rare Pokemon do you plan to catch Ash?” Misty asked.
“Not sure yet. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” Ash replied with a grin.
“So, you’re saying that, potentially, this could be a waste of time?” Misty asked, starting to get agitated.
Ash shook his head.
“Nope, not at all.” He cleared his throat.
“Being with you is never a waste of time… I really missed you” Ash said softly.
‘What the-? Since when has Ash been such a softie?’ Misty thought.
Quick as a flash, Misty got her mallet and whacked him over the head, just for good measure.
“Owww… Yeah I sorta missed that too…” Ash said, rubbing his head and stopping in his tracks.
“I could be at the Gym you know!” Misty exclaimed.
“There’s been a stack of new trainers that have been coming to the Gym recently and you bring me here to goof off?!”
Ash looked crestfallen.
“Er, well… I'm sorry Misty… I thought you might want to come with me, being in the area and all…” Ash mumbled.
“I'm sorry… For goofing off” he said.
Misty grinned at him.
“Are you kidding? I need a break! Bringing me here was a great idea Ash” Misty said cheerfully.
Ash raised an eyebrow.
“You’re not mad?” he said.
“Of course not. When have I ever been mad at you?” she replied.
Ash looked to Pikachu, then looked back to Misty, completely bewildered.
“Is this a trick question?” he asked
“Let’s go Ash!” Misty said walking on, apparently not hearing him.

So what do ya reckon? I sorta heard that Misty had a mallet so I’ve decided to whack that in for some humour. I’ll be honest and I’ll tell you now, I’m not a great writer or anything (heck, I failed my English course at school! >.<) but I love to write. *shrugs*
So I would love to hear some response from you guys who are reading this out there! Er, please?
