A Love Battle
By Flying Torchics
Part 8

A girl ran up to Ash.

‘Help me, there’s a guy chasing me… help!’ right after the girl said that a man rounded a corner. He was wearing a black biker vest and jeans. His whole body was covered in tattoos, making it impossible to see most of his features. (Pretty weird guy.)

‘What are you doing with my girl?’ the man asked.

‘Nothing, she just ran up to me and-‘, Ash was cut off mid-sentence

‘Tell me the truth!’ the man demanded ‘Now!’

‘I am telling the truth!’

The girl finally spoke, ‘He’s telling the truth.’

‘I don’t think so,’ said the man, ‘I think you’re cheating on me May.’

May? That’s really May? Well, I’ll have to deal with this guy first before I ask questions Ash thought.

The man asked May a question, ‘Are you cheating on me May?’

‘No, no I’m not.’ responded May.

‘Tell me the truth or else…’

‘Or else what?’ May asked

‘Tell me the truth or else I’ll shoot your little friend here.’ The handgun the man held to Pikachu’s head cocked.

‘Pikapikapi? (Can I zap him?)’ Pikachu asked.

‘Sure why not?’ then Ash said with a smile, ‘Pikachu zap him!’

Pikachu squeezed his cheeks hard, sparks flew everywhere and a beam of yellow light engulfed the whole block. When the beam faded away Pikachu jumped out of the man’s arms and landed on all fours. Pikachu looked around him. He saw that Ash, May, and the man were all crispy. (Sorry, couldn’t think of a better word. Crispy. ~.^)

‘Pikapi, Pika Picha (Woops, sorry ‘bout that.)’

When Ash was back in his hotel room, with Pikachu and May, Ash started getting ready for the party. Ash told May about the big event, so she too was trying to look her best. Ash finally picked out a suit. The suit was jet black and matched his hair. Ash and Pikachu were waiting for May to pick a dress, bored stiff. Then May came up to the two, and asked, ‘Which one should I go with? Blue or red?’

‘The one that gets us to the party faster.’ Ash answered

‘I’ll go with the red dress.’ May finally said, and she went into the bathroom to get changed

Ash and May entered the club and noticed that the party had already started. Ash checked his watch. The small hand was on the eight and the long hand was on the seven.

Ash found a table and let May sit first. He was about to sit himself down when he heard his named being called out several times. He turned around and saw Misty waving her hands in the air.

‘Ash! Over here.’ Misty yelled over the loud music..

Ash ran to the table Misty was sitting in. He sat himself down and started to chat with Misty about Pokemon battles etc. May finally reached the table and she was panting. She sat herself down heavily and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.

‘Do you know how hard it is to run with high heels?’ asked.

Misty was about to answer when someone spoke.

‘Hi Misty.’ Said a male voice.

Ash turned around expecting to see Brock, but it was someone else. The man kissed Misty on the cheek and sat down.

‘Ash,’ Misty said, ‘this is my boyfriend Mark. And Mark this is Ash. Oh, and that’s May.’

Ash was crushed, Misty had fallen for someone else. Tears were starting to form in his eyes. He closed his eyes. Ash was fighting with himself, pushing back the tears. He finally pushed the tears back and managed to force a smile onto his face and say hi.

Misty.’ Ash said.

‘Yeah?’ she replied

‘Can I talk with you?’

‘Sure.’

Ash got off his seat and grabbed Misty’s hand and lead her away from the party.

They walked onto roof of the club. It was right next to the beach. The moon wasn’t obscured. The stars glinted in the night sky like little jewels. And since there were no cars on the road the night was perfectly silent, except for the waves gently slapping the sand. The smell of the salty sea water wafted into their noses.

‘This is so romantic.’ Misty said, mesmerized by the sea’s enormous beauty

‘Yeah.’ Ash agreed, he cast his gaze to the sea and wondered why he never noticed it’s beauty.

‘Misty do you like me?’ Ash asked.

‘Of course.’ She answered

‘Do you like me as a friend?’ Ash asked once more

‘Yes.’

‘Do you like me as a best frie-‘ Ash was cut off.

‘Ash, why are you asking these questions?’

‘Just answer my next question.’

‘Fine.’

Ash gathered all his courage and opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

‘Come on Ash, just say it.’

‘Well, um… there’s no other way to say this, but uh…’

‘Well?’ Misty was getting a bit impatient.

‘Uh… ok. I’ll say it.’

Ash took a deep breath and exhaled. He did it four times before he spoke.

‘Ok. Misty, do you love me?’

Misty’s eyes grew wide. That question struck her as odd.

‘Forget it Misty.’ Ash turned around and started to walk away. Head hung low. Tears once again started to form, Ash gave in and let the tears fall.

‘Ash. I have an answer and it’s… yes.’

‘Really?’ He walked up to her and asked her again ‘Really?’

‘No, how could any one love you?’ And she laughed an evil laugh. (That didn’t really happen. Forget ‘No, how could any one love you?’ And she laughed an evil laugh. It was a lie. So just forget it. This is what really happened.)

‘Yes Ash, I do.’

Ash wrapped his arms around Misty and Misty wrapped hers around him. Ash brought his mouth closer to Misty’s. He did it ever so slowly. Both lips finally met and Ash’s heart was mended, every part.
