Ash's eyes slowly awakened to see an unfamiliar setting. He slowly sat up, looking around, slightly remembering where he was. He then looked at the bed her was on, and noticed he was sharing it. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his bed partner. Red hair, pale skin...Misty? He couldn't remember how he ended up in bed with her. He slowly took a peek under the sheet, his face slowly turning a crimson red, noticing both of them were naked. And he suddenly remembered. The party, the drinks, then...they were in the room alone. The only thing he figured to do now was leave before someone caught him. He silently got out of the bed and put his clothes on, his eyes focused on Misty, the rays of the morning sun hitting her skin made her seem almost angelic. He smiled for just a second, then left after he was fully clothed. He exited the room, to hear a melody of snores. All 6 of the party fools were collapsed on the couches, all naked as well. This was so crazy, he pinched himself to make sure this wasn't a dream. He felt the sharp pain and new it was real. He simply shook his head, then quietly exited the Gym out of the back door. He released Pidgeot from its PokéBall, who was also just waking up. He stayed silent and hopped on Pidgeot. Pidgeot took off into the air, knowing where to go. At that moment, Misty woke from her slumber, feeling a slight chill like she was alone. She gently rubbed her dark blue eyes, and looked out of her window just in time to see a familiar large bird soaring in the air. She smiled, then suddenly winced with pain, grabbing her stomach and hurrying into the bathroom, feeling the compelling urge to vomit.

Pidgeot landed in front of Ash's home, and Ash gloomily hopped off of Pidgeot, returning it to its PokéBall. Ash slumped into his house, his Mom barely hearing him.
"Ash, honey? Is that you?" She called from the kitchen.
"Yeah, Mom..." Ash replied, despondently, walking up the stairs to his room. His Mom suddenly felt uneasy with his tone of voice. She put her cooking on hold, and walked up into Ash's room after him. She stopped at the slightly open door, gently knocking and slowly pushing it open. "Ash...Is everything okay?"
"Yes! I'm fine!" Ash tried his best to sound happy, hiding his true emotion of confusion as he undressed himself.
"Well, I'm making breakfast now. It'll be done in a few." Ash's Mom said, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"All right." Ash responded, seeming distant. Ash's Mom pondered for a moment, then shrugged and walked back downstairs. Ash sighed, then looked at Pikachu who was still sleeping on his bed. Ash sat down on the bed, making it bounce a bit and rousing Pikachu from its sleep. Pikachu yawned and frowned at Ash.
(Now what do you want?) Pikachu asked angrily.
"Well, first I wanted to tell you I'm sorry for stepping on your tail..."
(Apology accepted. And what else do you want?)
"I want to talk to you about something...personal. I can't tell my Mom cause I'm afraid she'll freak out." Pikachu positioned himself so that he was sitting comfortably.
(All right, go ahead.)
"Well...I...had sex with Misty..." Ash reluctantly said, looking down.
(Mm-Hmm? And?) Pikachu asked, nonchalant.
"What do you mean 'And'? I'm in a lot of trouble here!" Pikachu went silent.
(I'm glad I'm not a human. Your society is way too complicated. Whereas if you're a wild Pokémon, you can have sex all you want and not worry about it...But...The only thing I can possibly think of to help you is...You should talk with Misty about this. You two will have to work out this problem together. How you work it out is up to you. The two of you share a strong bond with each other. And I think this can only make your bond stronger.) Ash simply went silent, staring at the ground, thinking about what Pikachu said.
"How do you know...?"
(How do I know what?)
"What we share a 'strong bond'?"
(I may be a Pokémon, but I'm not stupid. I know how you two felt about each other. Call it a...sixth sense, I guess.) Ash could only think to himself. Then he looked at Pikachu and smiled.
"You're a great friend, Pikachu. I don't know if I would be the World's Greatest Pokémon Master today if it wasn't for you."
(What are friends for?) Pikachu responded with a smile.

Strangely, over the next few weeks, Ash's life returned to normal. He didn't get a single call from Misty, and he didn't have the guts to call her. But one afternoon, he decided it was important that he talk to Misty. He went into his room, and his hand grasped the phone, and the phone suddenly rang. He looked at Pikachu, who simply nodded. He pressed the "TALK" button, and placed the receiver to his ear.
"H-Hello?" He shakily answered.
"Hi, Ash..." Coincidentally, it was a depressed-sounding Misty.
"Hi, Misty...Are you okay?"
"Not really...Ash, about what happened at the party..."
"Yeah?" He was terrified about what she may say next.
"I...I just wanted to say I had a great time."
"Oh! Well, I did, too." Ash said, reassured.
"No! I'm sorry, that's not what I meant to say."
"Oh...Well...What did you want to say?" Ash felt scared once more.
"Ash..." Her voice was breaking up, like she was about to cry. "I...I'm pregnant!" She began sobbing over the phone. Ash's eyes went wide with horror. He felt like he was punched in the stomach, all the air was knocked out of him, his heart pounding. But, he wanted to try and console Misty. He couldn't bear to hear her crying.
"Maybe you just...think you are?"
"No...I used one of those At-Home tests..." Misty continued to sob.
"Misty...Let's go somewhere to talk. How about in front of Route 21? I'll send Pidgeot to get you." Misty sniffed.
"All right..." Misty agreed. They both hung up, and Ash rushed outside, bringing Pidgeot's PokéBall with him. He released Pidgeot, greeting with a gentle pat of its neck. Pidgeot cawed happily, and Ash smiled.
"Okay, Pidgeot, I need you to do something for me." Pidgeot listened tentatively. "I need you to fly to Cerulean City Gym, and pick up Misty. Can you do that for me?" Pidgeot cawed and nodded. "All right, go!" Pidgeot took off in the direction of Cerulean City, and Ash walked off, taking a seat in front of his lake, never tiring of the view. A few minutes later, Pidgeot came back, looking for Ash, spotting him in front of the lake. Pidgeot gently lowered itself to the ground, and its red-headed passenger hopped off its back. Ash stood up, Misty walking toward him. Ash welcomed her with open arms.
"Hi, Misty." He said with a warm smile. Misty's sparkling blue eyes filled with water once more, throwing her arms around Ash's waist and sobbing into his chest. Ash exhaled a surprised "Oof", but simply smiled, and placed his arms around her. Ash kindly asked her to sit down, and she did next to him, hanging onto his arm like a child. He took his arm from her and placed it around her, Misty grasping his shirt, and snuggling into him as best as she could, feeling so dependent on him for support. They both looked out at the setting orange ball of fire reflected upon the water, giving the water an orange texture. Ash sighed heavily, ready to talk.
"Misty...I...know what we did was wrong. We shouldn't have done it, but we can't change it now."
"I know...But...I just want you to be there for me." Misty said, distantly.
"I will be, Misty. There's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do for you. I mean, I would go to the ends of the earth for you. I would give anything to be with you. I would even give my life for you. I just want you." Misty looked up, into his eyes, the tears still welled in her eyes.
"You...Really mean that?" Misty asked with the most intense expression of fear, like she would die right there if he didn't mean it.
"Yes." Ash said as he looked into her eyes, placing a gentle hand on her cheek. "I love you." Misty was so compelled by everything he said, propping herself up, and placing a lasting kiss on his lips, Ash lovingly returning it. She slowly broke their kiss, breathing a sigh of relief and completion, resting herself next to him again, gazing at the orange water. Ash quietly spoke up.
"So, what...Do you want to do with...the baby?"
"I...Want to keep it..." She said, gripping him powerfully, pleading with him to agree with her. Ash wasn't sure at this time if that was the best decision.
"Misty...We're really just kids...I don't know if I'm ready for--"
"Ash," Misty cut him off. "Ever since I met you, I couldn't deny that I felt like you were the person that could make my life complete. I still can't believe I'm in love with you because you're too good to be true. I feel that I, too, would give anything to be with you. And...I know I sound crazy now, but...to have this baby with you...It's just immeasurable." Ash simply sighed. He just couldn't disagree with her.
"I'm sorry, Misty...I didn't know that's how you felt about this...But if you really feel like this is the right decision...I'll be with you 100 percent."
"Thank you, Ash." Misty breathed yet another sigh of relief, simply smiling all the while. Ash smiled as well, then suddenly craned his head down, and placed a small kiss on Misty's abdomen, causing her to giggle a little bit. They definitely wanted this baby.
