Episode 7: Night Life AN: Hi! It’s me slickboy444. If you thought “A Beautiful Thing” was over, think again! As long as you all read it, I’ll keep writing it. I always seem to get ideas to add on. This episode is not as adventurous, it’s more fun and romantic. I hope you all have enjoyed the series thus far and I can assure you I’ll try and continue as long as I can or as long as you all want me to. Remember, I don’t own pokèmon at all so please don’t sue me. I don’t have anything. Once again thanks to Grocko and Charizard for their continued inspiration and I beg you all to tell me what you think by e-mailing me at slickboy444@aol.com. AN: ‘These mean character thoughts.’ Ages: Ash 18, Misty 18, Jessie 22, James 22. Ash: Come on Misty, hurry up! Misty: Be patient Ashy boy. We’ve got all night. Our two young trainers are in Viridian City and preparing to go out clubbing that night. It had been a week since the final encounter with Team Rocket and their acquisition of the one million dollars reward money. After a long time of traveling on the road and encountering many adventures, it was time for a little fun for a change. Pikachu: Ash! Ash: Oh, hey little buddy! Pikachu: When are you leaving? Ash: As soon as Misty is ready so it could be hours or seconds. Pikachu: Great! We’re going to have a great time. Ash: Pikachu, we already discussed that you and togepei are not going. Pikachu: Come on Ash! Ash: Look pal, clubs have beer and liquor and remember the last time you drank a glass of beer and thought it was soda? Pikachu: Oh…Yeah. Pikachu remembered that embaressing little incident. It couldn’t handle the booze and it lost control of its electrical abilities which caused a very painful experience for his friends. Pikachu: But I swear that won’t happen again. Ash: Come on Pikachu, you know you have to look after Togepei. Besides, this hotel room has food, tv, and a soft bed. Not to mention you’ll have it to yourself all night with togepei. Pikachu shrugged grudgingly. Pikachu: Okay, but only for togepei Ash. Ash: Thanks buddy, there’s some extra ketchup in my bag for you. Pikachu: All right! Pikachu ran off to fetch his treat. Just then Misty stepped out of the bathroom. Ash: Oh…My…God. Misty stepped out in a stunning new outfit. She wore skintight jeans and sexy blue halter-top. Her hair was free from its normal ponytail form and was allowed to drop down near her waist. She looked absolutely stunning. Misty: Now wasn’t this worth the wait? Ash: Without a doubt! Misty: Are we going out or are you just going to stand there gawking all night? Ash: I guess we’re going out, but either way is fine with me. Misty: Come on stud let’s get a move on. Pikachu: Have fun lovebirds! Ash and Misty then made their way out of the hotel and in to the lively nightlife of Viridian City. Their first stop was a nightclub called Teen Spirit. Guard: I’m sorry, but you can’t enter you’re not on the list! Ash: Excuse me. Guard: Hold your horses pal. Now listen… Ash: Um…Excuse me! Guard: Pal I…Oh, it’s you from the league. Uh…Sorry, come on in sir! They both entered the crowded club ahead of the long line that was still waiting. Misty: Wow, you’re becoming quite the celebrity now aren’t you? Ash: I guess so. But it does have its perks. Ash had won the Orange League, the Johto League, and ranked high in the Indigo League. His accomplishments were beginning to mount as well as his skill. Misty was already known for her status as a gym leader, but she knew Ash was now getting ahead of her. She knew that soon he would become a master and all the fame would come with it. But she trusted and knew Ash’s love and devotion to her would stand true. He had already shown it as she saw numerous attractive women give Ash flirtatious looks, but he never flinched. Misty: Come on Ash, let’s dance! Ash: You got it! The music began to blare with fast and furious dance music. Soon, the beat overtook their bodies and they lost themselves in the rhythm of the moment. Ash: You are so amazing. Misty: You’re not so bad yourself. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they continued to dance in close proximity. They continued to dance for over an hour. Time seemed to loose all it’s effect on the two young people. Misty: You tired yet? Ash: You wish. You? Misty: Nope! But I am thirsty. Ash: Well then let’s take a little water break. They left the dance floor sweaty, but still full of energy. They got themselves a couple of drinks and began to cool off a bit. Misty: Man it’s hot in here. Ash: I know. Misty: I’m going to the bathroom. Don’t go anywhere! Ash: I won’t. Misty left and Ash stayed there still drinking his drink. Bartender: That’s quite a girl you’ve got there. Ash: I know. Bartender: She’s got quite the figure. How on earth did you get someone like her? Ash: Are you always this talkative? Bartender: Well, people have come to expect a little chitchat behind the bar. Ash: Well, it’s a long story. Bartender: Really, well give me the short version. Ash: I don’t think there is a “short” version. It’s simple and complicated at the same time. Bartender: Whoa, you’re starting to confuse me now pal. Ash: Sorry that’s just how it is. Misty let out a relieving sigh as she splashed cold water on her face. It felt nice to cool off a bit. Girl: Hey, you’re that girl who came in with that guy from the league! Misty turned to see a girl about her age with blond hair and green eyes. Misty: You mean Ash Ketchem right? Girl: The one and only, oh and my name is Sasha. Misty: Hey Sasha, I’m Misty. Sasha: How did you get a gorgeous man like Ash. Misty: It’s a long story. Sasha: How long? Misty: Even the short version would take all night. Sasha laughed and the two girls continued to talk for a few minutes. Misty: Well, I’d better get back out there before some bimbo knocks starts flirting incessantly with Ash. Sasha: Good luck, with his looks. Misty: Yeah, well it was nice meeting you Sasha. Sasha: Same here Misty. I’ll see you around. Oh, and if you and Ash ever want to “experiment” with your love life, call me. Misty made a strange face and walked out. Ash was still at the bar in the same spot she left him. Ash: That was long. Misty: Some girl in the bathroom began talking to me. She was nice so we ended up talking a while. Ash: That’s cool. So, you ready to get back out there? Misty: You bet! The two teens got back out there and danced the night away for another few hours. Soon they got tired and left for more fun on the town. They ended up grabbing a quick bite to eat at a diner and began a leisurely walk down the streets of Viridian. Ash: Ah the night. So peaceful. Misty: Yeah, so where to next? Ash: Beats me, I really don’t care. Misty: Me neither, as long as it’s with you. Ash gave her a loving smile for her remark. They continued to walk down the streets. They visited a carnival that was open late then they went in to a pool house to shoot a few games. There was so much to do during the night. They saw pokemon battles in all night training gyms and watched street dancers strut their stuff. Soon, however, they were all out of energy and they started to head back. Misty: What time is it Ash. Ash: Around 2 AM. Have we really been out that late? Misty: It appears so. Man I’m pooped. Ash: Me too. Want to head on back? Misty: Sounds good to me. They soon reached their hotel tired, but happy. Pikachu and Togepei were already out for the night. The first think they did was collapse on the bed together and let out a deep sigh. Ash: What a night. Misty: You got that right, but it sure was fun. Ash: Yeah, we should go clubbing more often. Misty: Yeah…Thanks Ash. Ash: Thank you Misty. Their lips met in a soft, passionate kiss. Ash then wrapped his arms around her and held her close, not wanting to let go. Their lack of energy soon put them right to sleep. But they both had a smile on their faces. They soon drifted in to a deep sleep and continued to dream together. They dreamed and dreamed as only truly pure lovers can. Tonight was a night of fun, but it was also a proof to them selves that their love was more solid and pure than anything in the universe. AN: Well, that’s it for now. Sorry that took a while, I’ve had to deal with final exams in school. I know this episode didn’t contain the action the last episodes did, but I’ll try and add more in the future.
