Trials and Tribulations Chap.1

It was a beautiful evening in Bass City. The sun was lazily setting in the 
low valley. A cool breeze rustled the lush green shrubbery. All was still. 
The scene would have been perfect if it was quiet.
"Sci-fi Channel!" a masculine voice cried out.
"We watch Titanic!" a feminine voice shouted, more fiercely than her 
counterpart.
"Will the two of you just chill?" a third, also masculine voice, said 
pleading with the others.
"SHUT UP, BROCK!" the other two screamed. A hitting sound, a cry of pain 
and a body hitting the ground was heard, echoing through the hills. Misty 
climbed out of the hole they had fallen into, with Togepi in her arms. Up 
came Pikachu who was lifted up by Ash, then the trainer came out himself. 
Everyone apparently forgot about Brock, who still laid prone on the ground.
"Misty they are having an 'Alien Invaders from the Planet Pants" marathon 
and I am not going to miss it! Besides you've seen Titanic thousands of 
times!" Ash said, brushing of his hat.
"Well you can see your 'Alien People' some other time",Misty replied, 
undoing her long ponytail, "I am going to watch Titanic again!"
Ash was trying to come up with a counter argument, but his mind went mushy 
as he stared at Misty brushing her hair. The sunset's light clearly framed 
and highlighted her hair and nicely complimented her awesome figure.
I could die a horrible, painful, death and this would make it all worth it,
Ash thought lost in his thoughts, involuntary staring at her. Brock 
meanwhile had just climbed out of the hole, and noticed Ash staring at 
Misty, a very Girl-crazy-type-expression-a-la-Brock on his face. #Man, he 
has it bad,# thought Brock as he started brushing of his clothes. Misty 
finally realized that Ash was staring at her.
Blushing, Misty asked, "And why are you staring at me like that for, Ash?" 
She batted her eyelashes.
Snapped out of his daydream, Ash was at a lost for words, his intelligent 
answer was, "Uhhhhhhhhh.."
"Yes, Ash?" Misty asked sweetly.
"I just can't believe, how................"
"Yes......."
Now Ash, trying to cover his tracks was digging himself into a very deep 
hole. He finally came up with an anser. " I just can't believe how anyone 
could be so ugly!" he said triumphantly. 
Misty's face just turned beet red, speed lines formed in the background. 
"Oh, oh, oh......." she uttered trying to find the perfect words that 
described how she felt.
"Hey, Misty, you sound like if you're playing with yourself," Ash happily 
replied, feeling like he was on a role. With those words, he signed his 
fate. In retrospect, he would realize that was the turning point in his 
life, when all things changed.
Brock, having obviously more sense than Ash, had a feeling right now wasn't 
a good time to drudge up old memories. He (foolishly) got in between Misty 
and Ash. He held back Misty as best as he could.
"Now, Misty......" he began, trying to calm her down. His valiant efforts 
made no difference, as Misty took out her trusty mallet. "Out of the way, 
Brock!" Misty said, hitting him upside of his head. He dropped like a sack 
of dirty diapers. Misty advanced on Ash and proceeded to use his face to 
imprint the face of the mallet.
"Jerk," Misty said as she headed of to the Pokemon center with Togepi in 
one hand and Brock on her shoulder, leaving Ash on the ground, or rather 
in la-la land. Pikachu, who was picking an apple tree near by, came down to 
find Ash saying hi to the valley floor. 
"Pikapi?" he inquired as he licked his best friends face. "What Misty, not 
again......." Ash came to with a goofy grin on his face. His eyes snapped 
open, to find Pikachu, sweat-dropping. "Oh, heh, Pikachu!" Ash said in 
recognition. He sprung up and looked around for the Pokemon center. He 
grabbed his things and Pikachu and went to meet up with the others.

Nurse Joy of Bass City, second cousin to Joy in Cerulean, and sister-in-law
to the Joy in New Island, was having a bad day. Since this morning, 5 
pokemon came in badly poisoned. 2 didn't make it, but not because she gave 
up, no sir! But still she felt guilty, as if she could have done something.
Then in the afternoon, 2 trainers and their pokemon, came in also poisoned.
She had just come out of the Er, when some red head and a goofy looking guy,
kept on hitting on her. Coupled with the stress of the day, and having 
nobody to talk to, she just turned furious. "Leave me the hell alone, 
Creep! Just bugger off and die somewhere!" She felt even worse immediately.
The guy's expression just dropped, leaving a an expression of depression 
and hurt. He hung his head in shame and stalked of, leaving his red-head 
friend. "Three rooms, please, miss ma'am ," she said as politely as 
possible. Handing her the keys, Joy tried to look friendly and said, "Hey, 
look, I don't bite or anything." Taking the keys, the red head said, "Could 
have fooled me." With that she walked of.
__________________________________________________
It was later that evening, when the five of them, Brock, Ash, Misty, Togepi,
and Pikachu, were eating in the cafeteria. Brock was still looking kind of 
down, and was away for quite some time, muttering he had to go to the 
pharmacy. Ash and Misty surprisingly didn't argue, but remained silent to 
each other. Pikachu tried to break the silence, but to no avail, and went 
back to his bottle of ketchup. They were finally done, and left to go to 
their rooms. They took the elevator to the living rooms, but Misty and Ash 
had given the keys to Brock for safe keeping, because of the secure pockets 
in Brocks vest.
"Hey, Brock, Can I have my key, please?" Ash asked. "Uh yeah sure, man. But
wait a second. There is something I want to show you guys. It's in the 
first room," Brock said, as he unlocked the door to Room #1. Ash and Misty 
were to tired to argue but just went inside. As soon as they stepped 
inside, he asked to see Togepi and Pikachu. As Pikachu, went over to Brock 
and Togepi was in his arms, he ran for the door, and slammed it shut! 
Ash and Misty leapt up, startled by Brock's odd behavior. They tried to 
open the door, but found it was locked. "Brock! What are you doing?" Misty 
yelled through the door. Brock's voice was heard through the door. "Now 
listen up you two! The letter on the box will explain everything. I'm 
giving you two till sunrise. Now talk! I'm sick of the arguing and the pain 
I go through every day, so dammit find out where you stand with each other."
With that, light footsteps were heard and the door next door was shut.
Misty was still trying to get Brock to open the door, not entirely to 
thrilled to spend a night alone, with no interruptions with Ash, while Ash 
walked over to the box and opened it. Now, lets get something straight. The 
box was rather large, almost a foot in length and two feet tall, and looked 
like it was about to burst its seams. Ash opened the box rather 
unceremoniously, and most of its contents fairly exploded in his face. They 
were all condoms! In all sizes, shapes and colors. "WHAT THE HELL!" he 
yelled. 
Misty gave up on pleading and threatening Brock and walked over to Ash, 
trying to look over his shoulder to get a good look at what made him yell 
like that. She pressed up against him, her chest sticking his back. Ash 
almost jumped ten feet into the air, his face turning red. Misty saw the 
stack of condoms on the table and the floor, almost covering the letter.  
"WHAT THE HELL! HENTAI! PERVERT!" she screamed. Anger flooded through her 
body, to be thought of as some sex toy, but a corner of her mind was 
slightly flattered.
"ME!?!?!?!?!?What'd I do? I don't even know who these are for!" Ash yelled 
back, but backing up, inadvertently backing up against the bed. "Yeah I get 
it. You probably had Brock set this up so you can get some! Pervert!" Misty
yelled, whipping out her trusty mallet. With that, it kissed Ash's face, 
knocking Ash out, making him faint on the ground. Misty put back her mallet,
and picked up the letter. It read like this:
Yo, Guys,
Alright I know you both are pissed off at me for doing this, but it is 
necessary. Look, Ash you are 17 and Misty you are 18 (alright soon 19, 
geez, give me a break!) And you both act like if you are four. Now I know 
that Ash is definitely in love with you Misty and I suspect that you feel 
the same. The condoms are there just for a gag, but in case the two of you 
want, use them. Now, you have till sunrise. Use the best of it.
Brock
Misty just dropped the letter in shock. She always thought that Ash was 
only thought of her as one of his best friends,, and that was it. It was 
true, though that she was madly in love with Ash, but she always tried to 
play it off, always saying it was the age difference. She was about tear 
up the letter, when she noticed there was writing on the back.
P.S.: Misty, he does like you, so do whatever you have to do. ANYTHING.
Misty took a deep and turned around. Ash was starting to recover and shook 
his head trying to get rid of the stars blurring his vision. "You like me?" 
she asked, looking at Ash inquisitively. That got rid of all the stars. 
"Of course not! Preposterous!" he said rather quickly, without thinking.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah! Were' just friends! Good friends!" Ash squeaked.
Misty started to pace the room. "So if I were to say, I like you to, it 
wouldn't matter, wouldn't it?" "No, no, not at all!" he stammered out. "So 
if I were to........." Misty continued but cut herself off as she played 
with her bright red suspenders. She pulled them down, letting them hang 
loose at her sides. "Uh, Misty, what are you doing?" a very frightened Ash 
asked. "Oh nothing it's just, my clothes are feeling rather tight, and I 
would feel more comfortable with them off," she sarcastically replied as 
pulled off her shirt and pulled down her pants, revealing her undies. #To 
tell you the truth, my pants are feeling rather tight about now!# Ash 
thought nervously. Misty undid her ponytail and ran her fingers through her
hair.
"Misty!" squeaked Ash, trying to tear his gaze away from her. #My, 
goodness, this is perfection...# is all he thought. Misty walked over to 
Ash slowly, in a seductive manner. She leaned over him, showing lots of 
cleavage. "NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO..." Ash repeated closing his eyes, 
trying not to succumb to Misty's charms. "Are you sure, Ash?" she asked in 
a low sensuous whisper, right in his ear."And what if I told you take me 
right here, right now, would you?" Ash replied "Car wreck" "Aren't you 
even tempted?"she asked fiddling with her top. Ash opened his eyes with 
Misty leaning over him. # Ok about now is the time I could die that death 
happily.# he thought. Misty stood up from over Ash, thinking #Man, he 
should have broken by now! What am I doing wrong?#
Ash was about to break, and was about to shout out he liked her, but he 
just couldn't do it. "I CAN'T DO IT!" he screamed in an anguished wail. 
"Do what, have sex?" a confused Misty asked. "No, no, you don't understand,"
he said as he got up off the bed and stared at the opposite wall. "Look, 
I am in love with you and all, but....." Misty was happier than she had 
ever been and asked, "But what?" "If I had said yes just now, you would 
have thought I only wanted to have sex, and just have rejected me like some
pervert who just wanted to get between your legs. Now I know you don't like 
me or anything, but you didn't have to go so far in trying to admit my 
feelings for you. I just hope you can forgive for falling in love with 
you," he said. 
"Ash, I do like you, I whole - heartedly mean that!" Misty said to Ash. 
Ash still had his face turned to the wall. "Um, Misty I would hug you about
now, but you are almost naked," he told her. She looked down at herself, 
and tears welled up in her eyes as she thought, #Geez, he really cares for 
me and here I am trying to seduce him.# She started putting her clothes 
back on and started to silently weep, feeling awful about the way she acted 
towards Ash. Ash turned around as he heard her crying. He sat down with her
and hugged her. Misty broke down completely.

Brock had put Pikachu and Togepi in Room #2 and he slept in Room#3. He 
awoke to light tapping on his door. He woke up with a start. "Huh? This 
better not be Team Rocket!" he muttered as he got up. Clad in only boxers, 
he slipped on a muscle-t on and went to answer the door. "Who is it?" Brock 
asked irritated. "Nurse Joy" Brock pinched himself to make sure he wasn't 
dreaming. Yelping in pain, he opened the door. "Uh, c'mon in Nurse Joy."
Nurse Joy felt kind of awkward to be in this guy's room, but she felt 
obligated to make things right. "Is there anything I can do for you Nurse 
Joy?" Brock asked folding his arms. Nurse Joy was taken aback by Brock. She 
hadn't gotten a good look at him earlier on, and took in his square jaw and 
muscular body. #Well, no time for that Joy!# she scolded herself, imagining
what could happen. "Uh, look I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier on. I 
was really stressed out, but I had no right to snap at you. Please accept 
my apology." Nurse Joy got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by 
Brock.
"Hey, wait Nurse Joy. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I'm sorry I 
bothered you when you were so busy." #Wow! Good looking and nice# Joy 
thought. Brock beckoned her back in. "Tell me about your day. I've got 
coffee."

Misty stopped crying after awhile and fell asleep in Ash' arms. Ash looked 
at her for down a her and thought #Like a perfect angel# He picked up Misty,
and tucked her in the bed. He grabbed a pillow from of the bed and was 
about to lie down and get some sleep, he was asked the question he asked 
himself almost every day.
"When did you start to like me?" Misty asked.
"Huh?" Ash asked, making sure he heard her right.
"You heard me. When?"
Ash got up and sat down on the bed. "Well I guess I started to like you 
when we got to get know each other. At first I thought you were an 
irritating, paranoid, stuck up prick, then I realized you just didn't take
nothing from nobody," Ash said. As he continued he cracked a grin. "Richie 
found that out the hard way huh?" Misty blushed, chuckling. " As we got to 
become better friends, you got from being intolerable, to tolerable, to 
being a good friend, then best friends, then........" 
"Yeah?" 
"There was like this one corner of my mind, where I felt we should be more, 
then one day, it came into full realization that I was in love with you. At
first I thought you just hit me upside the head to many times, but if you 
did, I wanted more!"
Misty got off the bed, pushing the covers off of her. She sat down next to 
Ash. "Well," she began, " I started to like you the first day I met you. 
When I found out how my bike got totaled, I respected you right then." 
Blushing, Ash replied,"It was nothing rea......" He was cut off by Misty 
putting a slender finger on his lips. "No, it wasn't. You could have been 
seriously hurt, killed even, and yet you still did it selflessly. And when 
you went to get back your Metapod, I saw first hand how stupid..."
"Heh!"
"Reckless..."
"Heh!"
"And unbelievably brave you could be."
"Oh......."
With that, Misty got up and started to pace. "The clincher was when we 
fought Sabrina. Seeing you there, almost dead *sniff* I thought my heart 
broke in two." Ash got up and hugged Misty in a comforting embrace. He 
looked down at her and smiled. He closed his eyes and smelled her hair. She
looked up at him and they locked eyes. #Alright fella, steady as she goes# 
he thought to himself as he leaned in slowly to kiss her, remembering every 
movie he had seen with a scene like this. #Screw the movies!# Misty thought 
to herself as she grabbed his head and kissed him. 
It was a deep and passionate kiss that sent gentle waves of electricity 
through them. Tongues probing each others mouths, hands moving all over the 
other's bodies, they fell on the ground, rolling around. Both of them freed 
a hand for a condom.
____________________________________________________________
"So next thing you know *snicker* Joylene got a face full of pee!" Nurse 
Joy managed to get put before she deteriorated into full, uncontrollable 
laughter. Brock was on the floor, holding his belly and laughing. The past 
hour with Joy had gone by swiftly, the two talking about daily events and 
old stories. Brock managed to make coffee and had some rice balls. Joy was 
becoming more and more attracted to Brock as each moment passed by. Brock 
got up from the floor and sat back down, wiping a tear from his eye. 
Suddenly an awkward pause came, the two out of conversation material. Brock 
was thinking of   something new to talk of while Nurse Joy looked at Joy 
figured #What the hell? # and leapt on top of Brock. The two started making 
out passionately and wildly, like if there was no tomorrow. They landed on 
the ground, falling down from the chair. Brock reached up both arms, 
prepared to pinch himself, but then thought #Why, do I want this dream to 
stop? # Instead, he reached into his pocket.....
