Love and War? By Jabroni I don't own Pokemon, or anything else that is Japanese Animated, I only do this as part of fun, and to help improve my English Punctuation. Tell me what you think please, this is my first fanfic. And this is dedicated to JoltMaster, who has given me advice about making AAMRN Stories. "Did Not!" "Did Too!" "Did Not!" "Did Too Scrawny!" "WHAM!" Another day has passed since Ash has won his forth badge for the Johto, so far at this very moment Ash, and Misty, have been arguing all morning..... Again. While those "Lovebirds" were continuing arguing and fighting, Brock, the squinted eyed one, found a sign leading to Harrogate Town, from their walk in the forest, holding Togepi in his arms, and with Pikachu on his shoulder. "Ash, Misty!" He called out, hoping that he had caught their attention, since that they were continuing "flirting" with each other. No such luck. He tried a further approach. "Hey! Lovebirds!" (oops!) Togepi, Pikachu immediately jumped off Brock, just to watch his squinted-eyed friend getting beaten up..... again, morning after morning after morning, more like a daily routine I would have to admit. "WHAM!" "WHALLOP!" "DON'T CALL US LOVEBIRDS!" they both shouted, with Brock on the ground, with lost teeth, and bruises all over his head. "Why would I want to go out with a scrawny brat who is scared of bugs, and hits me all the time!" Ash shouted. "Scrawny! I'll show you scrawny you b......" Before Misty could finish what she was saying, Pikachu used his thundershock to shut them up. I would if I was him. "Owww... thanks Pikachu." said Ash, who was over cooked all over his body, and Misty too. "I think we better calm down guys, I think Pikachu is getting unhappy of you too "flirting" with each other." said Brock (oops again!) "Would you like a grand slam added to your collection Brock?" said Misty, with her legendary hammer, waving it around at Brock's face. "No, no ,no ,no ,no ,no thanks." he said quickly. "No more grand slams, please!" "Anyway Brock, what were you going to say to us when Pikachu stopped the "Flirting" and we stopped beating you up?" he blushed when he said that comment. Misty blushed too, but made sure that Ash and the others didn't see it. "There's a sign leading to "Harrogate City." he said. "I was told from Nurse Joy that there was a local tournament every week there for young and experience trainers that practice their skills. "Great!" Ash shouted with great enthusiasm. "How far is Harrogate City?" he asked. "According to my calculations...... a two days walk." "Oh...." Ash said with disappointment. "Cheer up Ash!" Misty said. "We can get there the next day, if there is a bus coming towards us so you'll be in that tournament in no time." she said. She was right about that, while they were walking in the forest, there was buses driving past them, locally. "Thanks Mist." "No problem." she smiled. "Hopefully guys, if we can catch a bus, we'll won't be able to camp out, but it will give us the advantage of getting there quicker." said Brock. "How much money do we have altogether then?" asked Ash. "About 500 dollars, since you won your fourth badge at the Polysew City Gym." he replied. "Uh... thanks!" he said, with his hand on his head. "What do you say Pikachu, shall we get the bus, or camp out here for the night?" "Pika Pikachu Pik!" he said. "All right, bus it is!" Ash shouted. "Yeah!" "All Right!" "Togepriiiii!" It wasn't as long until they caught a bus, leading to Harrogate City. They paid for their tickets, and were suprised that there were no passengers on bus, especially on a single decker bus. "Brilliant!" said Misty, with a happy look on her face. "Not only isn't noisy, and busy, we will be able to rest peacefully for the whole journey." "Togepriii." chirped the egged shaped Pokemon. "Pikaaaa." The trio settled themselves down on their passenger seats, making themselves as comfortable as possible, and took this opportunity to rest their weary bodies, since there was no other passengers on board, so they could prepare to be on time to enter the weekly Pokemon tournament...... Tell me what you think, I know its short, but it I promise to make the story longer as the chapter goes. Please e-mail me to tell me what you think of the story so far.
