Love and War? Part 3 By Jabroni For the third time, I don’t own Pokemon, or anything else that is Japanese Animated. This is my third Fanfic. "Pikachu.." Ash said, as he continued his depressing walk outside of the Pokemon Center. It’s been hours since Nurse Joy put Pikachu into the operation room. He and Pikachu have been very close friends ever since they met. They’ve been through high, and low for each other. From his walk, minutes seemed hours, and hours seemed internity. "Please be all right buddy." Ash continued walking... and walking... and walking until... "Ash!" someone called him. He never heard the call. He was very deep in thought. "Ash!" there it was again, closer this time, but Ash still never heard it, he was still deep in thought. "Hey Pokemon Master!" someone shouted, right behind Ash. Ash broke off his trance. "Togepriiii!" said the egg shaped Pokemon, also trying to get Ash’s attention. "Huh? What?" "Are you ok?" It was Misty. "Yeah, a little bit, but I’m really concerned about Pikachu." He said. "Well, I have some good news for you." She said, with a smile on her face. "Pikachu is recovered at the Pokemon Center." "Really!" Ash exclaimed with happiness. "What are we waiting for let’s go back!" Ash ran back to the Pokemon Center, along with Misty, determined to see Pikachu again. It wasn’t long until he entered the Pokemon Center, with excitement to see his long and best Pokemon friend again. "Pikachu!" "Pika Pi!" shouted Pikachu, with happiness to see his trainer again, after defeating the giant Onix. They hugged each other, like they’ve haven’t seen each other for years. "Its good to see you again." Said Ash. "Pikachu Pika." He replied. "Pikachu still needs to rest though. He’s been in too many battles and he did that new attack, which used up his remaining strength." Said Nurse Joy. "He’ll be in full recovery the next day if he rests." "Thanks Nurse Joy." Said Ash. "I’ll be with my friends Pikachu. Let me know if you need anything." "Pika Pi Pika." He said. "Ok, catch you later then buddy." He left the room, so Pikachu can a get a long deserved rest after his many undefeated battles. "Would you go out with me.." "WHAM!" There goes another girlfriend failure for Brock. "Any luck Brock?" "Eeeee..eeeee.." on the ground with more lost teeth. "Guess not." Ash said with sweatdrops on his face as he looked at his failure friend. He looked over to see Misty talking to girl, who guided her to the Pokemon Center after the match. He went over to talk to them. From the looks of them, they seem to be getting on pretty well so far. "Hi Misty, hel..." Ash couldn’t stop staring at her beauty of her. He started to blush. Suprisingly the mysterious girl also couldn’t stop staring at him. She started to blush too. Misty started to get jealous, but didn’t show it. She tried to change the subject, but changed the subject in a wrong way. "Ash, this is Stacy." She said. "And Stacy, this is Ash." "Hi...Ash.." she continued to stare at him. "Hi Stacy.." Ash also continued to stare at her. Misty began to grow more jealous, but still didn’t show it. She tried to change the subject more differently this time. "Hey Ash, fancy going back outside again?" she asked. That didn’t work, the minute she asked, Ash and Stacy gained a conversation with each other. "So when did you start to become a Pokemon Trainer?" Stacy asked. "The day I was ten. What about you?" he asked. "When I was 12. I’m thirteen now. I have a personal question about you, eerrr.. can we talk in private please?" she asked with a big blush on herself. "Sure.. errrr". Misty can we talk in private for a moment please, and could you help Brock up, I think he is still on the ground looking for his "lost teeth." "Sure Ash." She said, with Togepi chirping happily in her arms. She walked away to help Brock. As she walked away, in her mind, she didn’t like the way those two were looking at each other. "Ash, what do you think of Misty?" she asked, very sheepingly. Ash blushed when she asked him about that comment, but hid the blush so Stacy wouldn’t see it, by simply turning to look at the operation room of where Pikachu was. He turned his head back. "Why do you ask, I think of her as a close friend." "Well I know this may sound sudden, but errr.." she hesitated. "Would you like to go out with me?" she asked very quickly. "Errr.. sure, why not, even though we barely know each other." "I know, but to tell you the truth, I think that you are very attractive, from the looks of taking care of your Pokemon, you seem to be a very caring person to one another." She said. Ash deeply blushed at that comment. "Wow, she seems to be more polite than Misty, and she doesn’t have that temper of hers." He thought. I have a feeling that we might be able to get along with each other pretty well, even thought this is a bit sudden." He thought again. "I hope Misty won’t get jealous, even though I still like her, and she is my closest friend." "Get up loverboy." Said Misty, as she attempted to lift Brock up with one hand and with Togepi in the other. "Don’t make me give you another grandslam again, I’m getting tired of beating you up." She laughed. "You’ll get someone if you become more mature in the future." "Thanks Misty." Brock said. "Hey where is Ash?" he asked. "He is talking to Stacy." She said, in a jealousy matter, since she saw what happened to them, blushing and the way they looked at each other. "Huh? Misty, are you jealous?" he asked. He already knew that Misty likes, Ash, even though she didn’t tell him, at the moment he is being a person that never knew about those two. "Me, no, I’m just worried that Ash might get heartbroken if they split up." She lied. "I’m just protecting my best friend." "Ok." He chuckled. "Let’s see what they are doing at the moment." As he walked to see Ash and Stacy. Misty followed in jealousy. As they turned to see Ash and Stacy, they were both gobsmacked to see them holding hands with each other, laughing with each other. Misty started to feel depressed when she saw this. On the other hand, Brock was happy for him, but was concerned about Misty, because he was told at the beginning of the Johto journey, Ash told his feelings about Misty. "I’m going to get ourselves a room, coming Brock." "Sure." He said. He didn’t notice Misty’s expression when she asked. "I have to go now Ash." Stacy disappointingly. "I have to visit my grandparents tonight. I’ll call you later." "Ok!" he said happily. She kissed him on the cheek as a goodbye. Ash deeply blushed and felt his face of where she kissed him. She also winked at him, which made him blush even more. She left the Pokemon Center, and Ash made his way to see his best friends. "So Ash, buddy old pal, how was your GIRLDFRIEND?" Brock said slyly. Ash blushed, and Misty became more jealous. "Yeah ASH, how was she, a good kisser!" she hissed. "Err.. Ok." Said Ash, unsure what was wrong with Misty. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Ok!" she hissed more. "Of course I’m ok, why would you ask me if I’m ok. Just leave me alone." Misty started to swell up with tears. "Why are you going.." started sobbing. "Leave me alone!" she finally finished saying. She ran off, carrying Togepi with her to the room that the trios were going to spend the night in. "Misty wait!" shouted Ash. "Misty.." Ash started to feel depressed again, not about Pikachu, or Stacy, but about his best closest friend. "Pika!" Sorry, Best Closest Human Friend. Brock just stood there feeling sorry for Misty.
