Say Nothing at All

By: Shadow Pikachu and Shadow Squirtle

Misty sighed. She had come to visit Ash during her vacation and as soon as she reached the pokemon center and saw him talking with another girl, they had started to argue with one another. What was wrong with her? Isn’t this what she wanted? That Dawn girl was right though. It was strange how Ash never talked of any other girl like he talked about her. She told Misty that whenever Ash talked about May, Dawn’s idol, that he wasn’t as careful in describing things like her was when talking about her. What did that mean? Were they that good of friends that Ash praised her at times? Or could it be that he felt the same as she did for him?

“I hope that it’s the second one,” Misty said as she stepped into the shower.

After a few minutes, Misty completely spaced out where she was and started to sing. As luck would have it, Ash was at the door, getting ready to apologize the second she started.

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word you can light up the dark

Try as I may I could never explain

What I hear when you don’t say a thing

“Wow…Misty’s sure has an amazingly beautiful voice,” Ash said to himself, “Such emotion in her voice…Wonder who she loves?”

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Ash leaned against the wall and slid down to the ground. How he loved her voice. Boy, he sure envied who caused Misty to fall so head over heels with that she’d sing like that. Ash sighed. If only it was him that caused it.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

Was it him or could he hear her crying a little? Ash quickly and silently stood up. He didn’t want to be noted as a pervert, but Misty was upset. He needed to know why. He slowly opened the door and heard Misty’s crying. Whoever she was in love with must’ve turned her down real hard. That pissed Ash off. Anyone who could not see how beautiful Misty was needed to have multiple and painful laser surgeries.

“Ash…Why?” he heard her whimper.

At first, Ash thought that she had caught him. But then…

“Why can’t I tell you how much I love you?” Misty cried.

Ash’s eyes widened. Misty loved him?! Unbelievable. His wish finally came true! But wait…He was the one that was hurting Misty now! Ash’s head raced. He needed to find a way to make Misty feel better. Then it hit him. Ash smiled and silently closed the door. He had the perfect surprise for Misty.

Ten minutes later, Misty finally came out of the bathroom. As she made her way to the lobby, she heard music playing. When she reached the top of the stairs, she saw Ash sitting there, playing the guitar and singing.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

Misty gasped. That look in his eyes while he was singing, the emotion in his voice. It was so pure and true. Could it truly be true that he felt the same as she did?!

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Misty blushed and knew she was beat. She quickly walked to where Ash sat and sat right next to him. Ash smiled and gently kissed her on the lips. Misty felt as if Pikachu had shocked her with its thunderbolt. Ash pulled back and smiled.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

“Brock, do you think Ash and Misty love each other?” Dawn asked him as he returned for the Poke Mart.

“Of course I do! Just don’t tell them that I said that,” Brock said.

“Why?” Dawn asked.

“They’d never admit it to each other,” Brock sighed.

“You sure about that?” Dawn smirked.

“What do you mean about it?” Brock asked.

At that moment, a uproar of laughter came from the bedroom that they were staying in that night. Brock ran up the stairs and knocked down the door. Ash and Misty gave him a what-the-hey-do-you-think-you’re-doing look? Brock’s mouth dropped. Ash chuckled and pulled Misty into a tight, loving hug.

“Hey, Ash?” Misty asked.

“Yeah, Mist?” Ash responded.

“Do you think that we should tell Brock?” Misty questioned, knowing that Brock was still in the room.

“Nah. He’s a big boy. He can figure it out by himself,” Ash smirked, “Say nothing at all.”

Author’s notes: I know that it’s short. I got this idea literally just before I fell asleep I was in kinda a rush to finish it. I know that I repeat a part of the song, but it just seemed to fit. Please review. ^_^
