(TWANGGGG) (1...2...3...4...5...Bridge) (On the bridge, Misty and Ash are just sitting around, when Brock comes in with a *very* big box) Misty: Dang, Brock, need some help? Brock: Nope. (Brock to tries to position the box against the wall, but barely budges it) Brock: Well...maybe. (Ash and Msity get to where Brock is and they push it. They move it an inch) Ash: Hey, what's in it, anyway? Brock: Here, help me pull the box off. (After some budging and pulling, they finally get the box off) Misty: Wow... Ash: ...it's a... (Silence) Misty: What is it? Brock: Aha, my friends! It is a HDTV! Ash: Oh, cool...what does that stand for? Brock: High Defintion Television, you dolt! Misty: How did you get this delivered anyway? Brock: Umm....uh....The remote here is what controls the whole TV! Misty: You never answered my question, Brock. Brock: And, see, it plays DVD's! Misty: Brock... Brock: Oh, look, we've got Rocket sign! Ash: That's the first time I've seen him look forward to that. (Brock pushes a button) [Rocket HQ] Giovanni: Hello. [SOL] All: Gah!

(Bridge...5...4...3...2...1) (All enter theater) Brock: Wow, people actually make those kind of fanfics? Ash: Hey, I would like to see those. (Misty hits Ash in the head) Brock: Be quiet. The movie's starting. An AAMRN…With A Twist! Ash: (as James Bond) Hello, bartender, I like my AAMRN with a lemon twist and make it shaken, not stirred. Misty: Don't even say lemon twist, Ash.... Part One Misty sighed as she lay in her rented bed in Pokémon Village. Two years had already passed since she first met that black-haired kid with his Pikachu after fishing him out of a river. Most people don't meet that way, she thought to herself. Brock: (as Misty) Most people meet with their hands tied behind their back, and a gun stuck to their head....*sigh* She sighed again and turned over onto her side. I never thought I would feel this way about him…but…I can't believe it myself…I do……Tomorrow…Tomorrow I'm going to ask him... All: (singing) 'Cause it's only a day away-y-y-y-y-y! if he feels the same way about me… So Misty eventually slipped into sleep. She had a nice little dream about her and Ash in the future…the best of friends… Brock: In the morning, her bed was all wet. All: BROCK! * * * All: (singing) Star bright, star light, turn on the magical stars tonight! Ash and Pikachu were in the locker room right before their next league match. They were getting pumped for another victory. Ash: (in a thick Gangster accent) Yea', Pikachu, wat wer gonna' do is take that Hitmonchan to school, eh? Eh? "Just two more wins, Pikachu," said Ash, "and then we'll be Pokémon masters!" Misty: But then what? Ash: (as himself) I never thought about that... "Pi, ka!" Pikachu said, agreeing with him. "Are you ready?" "Pika! Chuu!!" Ash: (as hiself) No, I mean are you ready!?!? No, I mean ARE YOU READY?? Pikachu proved that it was ready by showing Ash the power of its sparks, let alone its actual attacks. Ash laughed. "That's good. We have to win this battle!" Misty: (as Ash) I bet a bet riding with Brock. "Chu!!" Ash laughed again. Pikachu did too. Then it stopped. "Pi? Ka?" Ash stopped laughing. "What's wrong?" he asked. Brock: (as Ash) Did Gary fall down the well again? "Pikachu!" Pikachu smiled, pointing behind Ash. Ash turned around. Misty was standing in the doorway, smiling sheepishly. (All make sheep noises) "Uh…Hey, Misty!" he said, waving, "Come to give us a little cheering on?" Misty just kept smiling and tried to ignore the blush creeping into her cheeks. Ash: (as himself) Hey, Misty, it looks like you put on too much blus- Misty: (as herself) Shut the heck up, freak! "Kind of…" She kept smiling. "Can we be alone for a sec?" Ash wasn't quite sure what to say. What could Misty want to tell him that Pikachu couldn't hear? Brock: (as Ash) Pikachu, just close your ears, shut your eyes, and *don't* look around! "Uh…I guess so. Why?" Ash hadn't thought it possible, but her smile got even bigger. Ash: (as himself) Whoa....that's one big smile. (Brock takes out a camcorder and records the smile) "You'll see," she said, taking his hand and leading him outside. Becoming more dumbfounded by the second, Ash obeyed. Brock: (as Ash) Ooh, I think I'm getting an e- All: BROCK! Misty stopped when they had their privacy and turned to look Ash in the eyes. Yes, he had grown, so she couldn't look down at him anymore. He still wasn't taller than her, though. Ash: Suddenly a romantic moment turns sour... Misty: (As herself) Nyah! Nyah! I'm taller! "Ash…" she began. Her cheeks turned from pink to red and she looked down at her feet. "…What?" "Um……I was…wondering……and I've been thinking about this for a while…and…um…" Misty: (as herself) Are you...um...not...right with the world? Ash: (as himself) Huh? Misty: (As herself) You're *so* naive, aren't you? Ash: (as himself) Huh? She looked up. Her eyes were, if you'll excuse the pun, a little misty. Misty: We won't excuse it, right, guys? All: Right... (All laugh hysterically) "Would you go out with me?" (A/N: At this time, Ash is 12, and Misty is probably 13. This is as romantic as they can, er, should get. *^_^*) Brock: Ah, crap, I was hoping for some *real* action! Misty: Brock! Do you want her to send us a lemon? Jessie (over the intercom): That can be arranged! Brock: Auggh! I'm sorry, I really am! (Brock bows to no one in particular) Ash stared at her for a good, long time. "…What?" "Will you go out with me?" Misty said again, speaking a little quickly. Why isn't he saying yes? He likes me, doesn't he? What if he doesn't? No! I'll never be able to talk to him again…! Misty: Psssh. Like that's a change of pace. "…Go…out with you? As in…dating?" "Uh-huh!" Misty said, nodding vigorously. "Uh……" Ash: (as himself) One thing. Do you know what "score" means? I've heard Brock use it a lot... Brock: I plead the 5th. He looked at her. He'd never seen her so emotional before. He didn't want to say no. That would break her heart… Brock: But he didn't want to say yes, just in case the author made a lemon in the future. He sighed and looked at his feet. He hated to do this. "Misty…I……I'm sorry……I…I can't…" Misty froze in disbelief. What? He can't? What is he talking about? Of course he can! It's so easy! It only takes one word! Brock: But if you want to go *really* deep, it only takes two words! All: BROCK! Brock: Ok, I'll shut up now. Just say "Yes", Ash! Say, "Yes!" Misty: (as herself) Do you have to go to the bathroom, Ash? Ash: (as himself) Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! "……Wh……why……not?" He sighed again. Ash: (as himself) I'm a trainer. You're a chunkhead. Do you think we make a good couple? Why me? Why did she have to ask me? Why today? Why right now? I have a match to get to…If this is on my conscience, how am I going to win? Brock: A match? What for? Ash: She's probably going to burn down the stadium, and print "I hate you, Ash!!" in red flames. Brock: Oooh. Scary. "Misty……I probably should have told you this a while ago…but……" But what? Don't just stand there! Tell me! "……" He looked into her eyes. "I……I already…um……" One more sigh. "If I started dating you……how would……" Ash: (as himself) .....Prima...feel? Misty: (as herself) Prima!? She's a- (Brock closes Misty's mouth) Brock: Now now. There are kiddies watching. "You already have a girlfriend!!?" Ash winced. "N-no…not……not exactly…a…girlfriend." "Are you gay!?" "NO!" Brock: Hmmm. I guess Ash hasn't read much hentai. All: BRO- Brock: Yes, yes, I know. "Then what's the problem!!?" "I……" She's not going to believe me… "If I started dating you………how would…Pikachu…feel?" Ash: (As himself) You know Pikachu, he so jealous that he dosen't have a mate... (Ash looks around the room) Ash: What? You could do better? Brock: With my eyes closed. Ash: Wow, that's pre--hey! Misty stared at him for a good, long time. She finally spoke. "…Pikachu?" "…Pikachu." Ash: Then Pikachu heard them talking about his mother, and he came and thunderbolted them. The end. Another long moment of staring. "You're……you're choosing……that…mouse over me!?" Ash nodded quietly. "………You two aren't even the same species!!!" "But……I love Pikachu." (All retch) Ash: We have got to make Jessie stop sending us Pokemon fics. We'll learn stuff about us that we never wanted to know. Misty felt as if he had just stabbed her. He loves that mouse, but he doesn't love me?…What is this world coming to? Brock: (As Misty) That people shall draw pictures of Vincent and Pikachu getting it on. Ash: Ok...I was going to say "Brock!" but that's just....disturbing. Brock: Want me to give you the site? All: NO! She looked desperately into his eyes, one last time, searching for a scrap of insincerity…She found none. Tears started streaming down her face. "I……I thought……I thought that………that…I could love you………" She sobbed quietly. "…I guess I was wrong." All: (singing) Love is so hard on the knees... She turned and ran. She didn't look back. No. That's not what I… "Misty!!! Misty! Wait!…Come back!!" She disappeared through another set of doors and they slammed shut behind her. …What have I done? Misty: (as herself) I've created a monster! Ash: (As himself, robotically) We...must...win...Pi...ka...chu!...We...must...win...Pi...ka...chu! Part Two Ash Ketchum, that meanie! How dare he fall in love with that Pikachu instead of me! I hope he loses this big battle and never competes in the Pokémon League again! Misty: (As herself) 'Nuff said. In her heart, Misty knew she didn't really mean that. She was just upset because Ash had refused to go out with her. I'll show him……but first…I'm going to watch him lose this match. He'd better lose… Msity: (as herself) 'Cause I'll $200 in the hole if he doesn't! Misty turned around and went back into the stadium, since his match was starting in less than ten minutes and she wanted to get a good seat. Maybe I can make faces at him and ruin his concentration… She liked that idea. Brock: Instead, it just swooned him all the more. Misty: (As Sally Field) Maybe...oh, he does! He loves me! He really loves me! * * * (All hum "Stars & Stripes Forever") Ash glumly walked back to the locker room. He hadn't thought Misty would run off like that. Pikachu was waiting patiently, sitting on a bench and quietly singing to itself. "Pika pi, pika chu…Pikapika pikachuu…Piii ka… Piii ka…Pikachu. Pikachu……" Brock: Hey, I never knew Pikachu sung Metallica. It trailed off when it noticed Ash. "Pika?" "Hey…" he said, smiling slightly. It was always good to see Pikachu. "Chu? Pikachu?" Pikachu asked. It could sense Ash's distress. Ash: (as himself) Yes, I'm lovesick, Pikachu, you don't need to rub it in. He sighed. "It's nothing…Well……Okay…You really want to know?" Pikachu nodded. "…Misty ran away because I told her that I wouldn't go out with her." "PII!!??" Pikachu nearly fell off the bench. "Pikapikachu!?" Brock: (as Pikachu) She was wanting to date a loser like you? "Yeah…I thought it was crazy too. I mean, why would I go out with her, when…I have you right by my side?" "Pika!" Pikachu agreed. "…I hope she's not mad at me…" "Ka…Pikachu," Pikachu told him not to worry about it. After all, they had a big battle really soon. Brock: (As Pikachu) And then after the battle, we can make all the l- (Misty stares at Brock) Brock: ...uh...cookies we want? "…I guess you're right. I hope we can still win this match." "Kachu!" Ash: Bless you. (All pull out hankies) "Yeah!" Ash laughed, "You're right, as usual. I'm glad I have a friend like you, Pikachu." "Piika." Pikachu blushed. "Let's go, Pikachu!" "Pi!" Misty: The bathroom's down the hall and to the left. * * * All: (singing) Twinkle, twinkle, little star... Ash and Pikachu stepped into the field. The stands were full, as usual, and they were cheering wildly, as usual. Ash smiled. Brock: (As a fan) We're cheering for Gary, you loser! Misty: (as another fan) Yeah, down with Ash! Ash: (as another fan) Ash is never gonna be a Pokemon Master!...wait...I just insulted myself... "Pika pikachuu!!" Pikachu cried happily waving back to crowd. Ash: Is it ok to get dark now? Misty: Sure, if it's ok with Brock. Brock: Yea, we're half through. Ash: Ok...Then Moltres, seeing Pikachu waving, fries Pikachu like a crispy critter. Brock: Ouch... "Hey, remember, we still have a battle to fight," said Ash. "Pikachu," Pikachu smiled and nodded. "Chu!" It gave Ash the "V" for victory sign. Ash smiled and gave it back. Brock: Hey, he's ripping off Winston Churchill! Misty: (as Pikachu) I wasn't saying "Victory"! I said "Up Yours"! "Let's win!" "Pika!" Ash's opponent for this round was a girl named Missy. She stepped into the ring and gave Ash a smug look. Her short orange hair fell gracefully around her face. She had bright green eyes that gave her a venomous look. She looked like she was a little taller than Ash. Brock: Meaning... Misty: She looks like me! (Brock looks at the screen) Brock: Yeah...I kinda can see the family resemblance... His jaw dropped. "She…looks…just…like……Misty………" He started to feel faint. Ash: You...bleemed...me...all...night....long.... Brock: All right, no more Overclocked for you. Ash: Can't I just see their latest review? Please?? Brock: We'll talk about it when we get out. A/N: If that seems a little Farfetch'd (oops), remember Jezebel? Brock: Not in particular. If they can do it, I can do it too *^_~* "Pika!? Pikachu!!" Pikachu cried in alarm. Ash: (as Pikachu) It's the scary author's note again! 'Huh!? Hey! Pull yourself together Ash!!' "I…can't…battle……her…" "Pikachu!!" 'She's just a look-alike! She's not Misty!' Ash: (as himself) See? She's up there in the stands, making faces at me! In the stands, Misty was similarly shocked. "That girl looks just like me!…Her name even sounds like mine!!…What is this world coming to!!!??" Brock: (As Misty) That people shall draw V- Misty: One time is enough, big guy. The people sitting around her inconspicuously refrained from making eye contact with her. Brock: (as a fan) She's a devil-woman! Stay away from her at all costs! The announcer, completely unaware of the madness going on below, started to speak. "The two trainers have entered the ring. In this match, they will use three Pokémon each. The winner will then proceed to the final round! Both of these young trainers have proved themselves magnificently in their previous battles, but only one will be able to triumph! Who will it be!?" 'I don't care!! I want to know why she looks like me!!" shouted Misty. Several people sitting next to her suddenly realized that they could see better if they sat farther away from the field… Ash: (As a fan) Doctor, we've got a schizo who's been drinking. Please take her away. The referee picked up his flags. "You will use three Pokémon each. Begin!" "I choose…Poliwrath! Go!" Ash was still recovering from his shock. "A…Poliwrath…?" he said dumbly. "Piika…" Pikachu growled. "Pika!" It jumped into the ring. That brought Ash to his senses. Brock: (as Ash) Ooo...smelling salts... "Wait!" "Missy has started the battle off with a Poliwrath, and Ash has chosen to fight back with Pikachu! That little rodent's a feisty one, scoring Brock: With women Pikachu all over! Shut up. many knockouts early into previous battles. Missy is going to have to fight back hard to win this one." "Poliwrath! Seismic Toss!" "Wwrath!!" Ash: Poliwrath now settles down with a good book. "The Grapes Of Wwrath". Poliwrath leapt forward and made a grab at Pikachu, then it jumped high up into the air, preparing to toss it down to the ground, hence the name "Seismic Toss". Misty: (in a hillbilly voice) Hyuk! Looke at tha'! 'Hey should call 'ha Seismic Toss! Brock: (in a hillbilly voice) Hyuk! No kiddin'! Ash finally caught on to the fact that he was going to have to battle, or lose. "Pikachu!! Thunderbolt! Now!!" Before Poliwrath could throw it down, Pikachu used its Thunderbolt. "PiikaaCHUUUU!!!!!!!!" That did a little more than frazzle the poor frog, and Pikachu easily slipped out of its grip. Ash: Frazzle? Frogs? *Somebody* here likes Jim Henson. "P-ollli…wrra…" it said weakly, dizzy from Pikachu's attack. "Don't give up yet, Poliwrath," said Missy, "Use your Hypnosis attack!" Poliwrath finally stopped wobbling around and faced Pikachu bravely. The whirl on its stomach started to spin around in an entrancing fashion. Brock: Whoa... Ash: (as Missy) Poliwrath, use Acid Trip! Now! "Don't look at its belly, Pikachu!" ordered Ash, "Close your eyes and use Quick Attack!" "Chu!" Pikachu squeezed its eyes shut, then ran into Poliwrath at the speed of a train. Poliwrath didn't even have time to grunt before it was knocked out. Misty: (As Poliwrath) Gru--oof! "Poliwrath is unable to battle! Pikachu is the winner!" announced the referee, holding up the green flag. Brock: Do that again, why don't you? Ash: (as a referee) Poliwrath is unable to battle! Pikachu is the winner! (holds up green flag) Brock: Thanks. Up on the scoreboard, one of Missy's red bars blacked out. "Now Missy is down by one Pokémon. What will she choose to defeat Ash's amazing Pikachu?" Missy didn't seem to let that faze her. She drew another Pokéball from her belt and tossed it into the ring. Brock: She tossed the belt? Woo-woo! Take it all off! Misty: In your dreams, Brock. "Tentacruel! Go!" "A Tentacruel?" Ash said in surprise. Didn't she know that water Pokémon were weak against electricity? Misty stood up in disbelief. "She's got a Tentacruel!?…It's not fair!! I want a Tentacruel!" she shouted Brock: Ick. Misty's the Marissa of the Pokemon universe. (Misty whacks Brock upside the head) Another group of people suddenly remembered an important meeting they had to get to…and maybe a television set so they could watch the match from there. Ash: I've got a meeting too! (Ash tries to leave but Brock grabs on to him) Brock: Stay. We're almost done. "Pikachu!" shouted Ash, "This should be easy! Thundershock attack!" "Pika…" "Tentacruel! Barrier! Quickly!" "Cruel!" Brock: (as Tentacruel) This is Pokemon abuse! A clear shell formed around Tentacruel. "CHU!!!!" Ash: (as Pikachu) ...and the Drunken Hu! Pikachu let out a ball of concentrated electricity that hit the barrier and was only weakened for a few seconds before finding a crack and letting Tentacruel have it. Brock: Ooo, electrity up the arse! Msity: I don't think that's what she meant. "Tentacruel! Poison Sting attack!" Tentacruel shook off the remains of Pikachu's attack then crawled speedily towards Pikachu, unleashed all of its stingers. "Pikachu! Agility!" Pikachu dashed to the side, then as Tentacruel turned, it started running in circles around it, effectively stopping Tentacruel's attack. Ash: Pikachu just can't find a good place to go bathroom nowadays. Missy gritted her teeth. "Forget the Poison Sting! Use Toxic!" "Tentacrruuueellllllll!!!!!!!" From its mouth, Tentacruel let out a huge cloud of poisonous gas and liquid. It floated out from it in all directions. Brock: Aww nasty, Cruel! Misty: I think we've reached our limit on bathroom jokes. Brock: I'm sorry, but the author just keeps rubbing it in our faces! And, quite certainly, it smells... (Misty sighs) Ash gasped. "Run away, Pikachu!" "Pii!" Pikachu used its highest amount of Agility and ran to the far end of the battlefield. Ash smiled. "I wonder if that gas is flammable…?" Brock: Come on! Methane *is* flammable! Misty: Brock... Brock: I'm sorry! I truly am! Pikachu heard him. A big grin appeared on its face. "Pika…" Sparks started to fly from its cheeks, then its body lit up. "CHUUUUUU!!!!!" Pikachu's electricity filled up the entire field, blasting Tentacruel sky-high. Misty: (As Tentacruel) Looks like Team Tentacruel's blasting off againnnnn.... When the smoke cleared. Tentacruel wasn't in the ring anymore. Missy gasped. "Where'd my Tentacruel go!?" Ash: (As himself) See that greasy spot in the center of the ring? "Pika?" Pikachu asked, looking up. "Huh?" said Missy. She looked up too. "aaaCCRRUUUUUUEELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!" Tentacruel screamed, as it fell from the heavens and landed painfully in the center of the ring. The referee peeked into the crater. "Tentacruel has been eliminated! Pikachu is the winner!" "Piiika!!" Pikachu flashed the victory sign. Ash: (as himself) Pikachu! Quit flipping off Missy! What have I told you about good manners? Brock: (as Pikachu) That I should only use them at home? Ash: (as himself) Right! "This match isn't over yet," Missy said darkly. "Jynx! Show that Pikachu who's boss!" Misty: Ahh! A Tony Danza Pokemon! "Jyynx…" Pikachu jumped back. "Pika?" "And Missy has chosen a Jynx as her final Pokémon! We've all seen this ice and psychic Pokémon in battle before, and let me tell you folks, it really knows how to battle and win!" …Must be pretty good, then… Ash thought to himself. I hope Pikachu can handle it… "Jynxjynx," Jynx said, walking to the center of the ring. Brock: (as Ash) Get away! You're gonna jinx me! (All make rimshot noises) "Jynx! You can knock that thing out with one hit! Lovely Kiss attack!" "Jynx!" Jynx smiled. It walked casually up to Pikachu. With a wink, it moved to pick it up. "No!! Pikachu! Don't let it touch you!!" Ash cried. Ash: (as himself) Don't let her do that! "No" really means "No"! "Pii!" Pikachu said fearfully. Jynx picked it up. Happily, it pursed its lips, ready to lay the fateful kiss. "NOO!!! Pikachu!! Thunder attack!!!!" "KA!" Pikachu screamed. It scratched Jynx on the lips, then started to charge up its electricity. "Pi…ka……CHU!" (All get up from their panicky states) Brock: No... Misty: ...lemon... Ash: ...in... Brock: ...this... Misty: ...fanfic? (All look at each other) All: YAY!!! A blinding flash of lightning lit up the stadium. When it faded, the awed spectators saw that Pikachu and Jynx were still…uh…locked in combat. Brock: What the...? Ash: Auggh! (All hide under seats) Misty: False alarm! "J…Ynx?" Jynx asked in surprise. Pikachu had given it quite a jolt. "What are you waiting for, Jynx! Kiss it already!" shouted Missy. Jynx smiled as it remembered its job. Brock: Job? Is it a pros-? (Misty beats up Brock) "Jynx!" it bent its head towards Pikachu's. "Pikachu!!" shouted Ash. "Cha!!" Pikachu cried. Suddenly, Ash had an idea. "Pikachu!! Skull Bash attack!" "Ka?!" Those big, pink lips were getting closer…It was worth a shot. Ash: Then Pikachu brings out his AK-47 and beats the living heck out of Jynx. Brock: (as the author) I didn't mean *that* kind of shot! "PIKA!!!" Pikachu rammed its head into Jynx, aiming for the forehead. Surprised, Jynx dropped Pikachu and staggered backwards. "Chu…" Pikachu gasped in relief. "…Enough of this! Jynx! Ice Beam!" "Jynx!" It held out its hand, palm outwards, and an Ice Beam appeared from it, heading straight for Pikachu. "Look out!!" "Chu!" Pikachu jumped out of the way. "Now…use Thunderbolt!" "KAA!! CHUUUU!!!" Lightning shot out and zapped Jynx, frying it, as well as giving it a nice, new hairdo. Misty: What would you call that? "Ode The Static"? "Jynx!" Missy called. "Jyynnxx…" Jynx moaned. It then fell down. "…Jynx has been eliminated! The victory goes to Pikachu and Ash!" The crowd cheered. Well, there weren't many people left in Misty's section, but that's beside the point. Brock: No it isn't! It makes perfect sense to put that in! Misty: Careful Brock. Fanfic authors might take advice from you. "You did it, Pikachu!!" Ash left the sidelines and ran forward to give Pikachu a hug. "Pika!" Pikachu called, joyfully running into his arms. "Pika pikachu!!" Ash laughed. "…You're right. I should've known we would win…" Tears of joy fell from his eyes and landed on Pikachu's coat. Ash: Which, oddly enough, was a trenchcoat. "Pi?" Pikachu said. It looked over its shoulder at the wet spots. "Chu…" it scolded. Misty: (As Pikachu) Don't pee on me! Ash only laughed and cried some more. From her seat in the…uh…crowd…Misty was getting a little teary-eyed herself as she watched the pair. …He wasn't lying…They really do love each other. She sniffed and wiped a tear from her eye. So that's why……No wonder he said no……I shouldn't have done what I did…I hope he can forgive me…… She sobbed and prayed that he would. Misty: Do you guys know what to say? Brock: No, not really. Why? Misty: Just wondering. Part Three Brock: Hey, where am I in this fanfic? Misty: Do you really *want* to be in this fanfic? Brock: Umm...good point. I'm counting my blessings now. "Good job, Pikachu. I can't believe you were able to beat Missy all by yourself. I've really trained you well, haven't I?" "Pi ka chu!" Pikachu smiled. Ash sighed. Pikachu was right, as always. He just wondered how Misty was doing. He hadn't seen her since their last little…talk. She was still going to talk to him, wasn't she? Ash: Last little talk? What, did she tell him the birds and the bees? "…Pi?" Pikachu asked, worried about its master. "Huh?…Oh…It's nothing." "Pika, pikachu…?" 'Still worried about Misty, eh?' Brock: (surprised) Whoa, what happened there? Misty: Pikachu grew IQ points for a few seconds? "N-no……Not…really……" "Pi, cha…" 'She'll be okay." Misty: ...or minute? "…I hope you're right…" Ash picked up his stuff and headed for the locker room door. Pikachu followed after him. He opened the door, and… "Misty!!?" Brock: (As Ash) Crap, what are you doing naked!? Not that it matters... "Heh…I knew I'd find you here…" "M…Misty…Uh…" "…What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Ash: (As himself) No, Meowth got my tongue! Ha! Ha! Ha! "N-No…Uh…" "Sure sounds like it." "Uh……You're not…mad…at me?" She gave him a good long look. "…Mad? Why would I be mad?" "Uh…I d-don't…know. Um. You seemed……upset……when I last saw you……uh…?" Misty sighed. "Yeah…Yeah, you're right about that. I was a little……upset." Brock: (as Ash) Upset? You scared the whole crowd!! Misty: (as herself) Don't you talk back to me! "Pi?" Ash: (as himself) Yeah, yeah, I have to go with the bathroom! What's wrong with that? Ash looked down and blushed. "Um, maybe we should…uh…keep walking…" "…Good idea. Come on." They walked down the hall and headed for their hotel room. They were quiet for a while. Once they were outside, Misty started talking again. "……Ash?" "…Yeah?" "Um………I'm…sorry." "Huh? Why are you sorry? I'm the one who should be sorry." "What are you talking about?" "Well……I shouldn't have……you know…" Ash: (as himself) ...messed on your carpet, but don't worry, I got maids to clean it up! "No, Ash. It's my fault. I…should have thought about…your feelings……first…" "…Huh?" "You know…I don't know why I didn't see it before." "…See what?" "Ash!!" Misty laughed. "You and Pikachu! You two are closer than anyone I've ever seen before……I…I shouldn't have tried to…pull you apart…" "But……" "Pi?" "………I'm really sorry, Ash." "……Well……I'm sorry too." "For what!?" "For……for………um………I don't know. I just……I just……I'm just sorry, okay?!" Brock: Would you all just stop speaking like William Shanter and start talking English!?!? Misty laughed softly. "…Okay……I forgive you……" "Well………Then I forgive you too." She gave him an amused look. "That's it?" "…I…guess so." "………Ash………" "…Huh?" "Um……………" "Pi, ka pika……" Pikachu sighed. Ash laughed. "Good point, Pikachu." "What'd it say?" asked Misty. "It said…" Ash stifled a laugh. "It said we should just forget about it and go to bed." Ash: (As himself) Is there only one bed in your room? Wai! Misty: Oh, no, what we need is two Brock's here... (Ash and Brock exchange high-fives) "Bed?" "Yeah. What's wrong with that?" "Well……it's only afternoon." Ash looked at the sky. "But it's getting dark." Misty looked at the ground. How could she hide her true feelings? She still loved him, even if he loved Pikachu. I have to know. "……Ash?" "Huh?" "Um……I have a question." "Not again." He grinned. Misty smiled shyly. "……Do you still love me?" Ash stopped cold. "What's that supposed to mean?" Brock: Ash stopped Stone Cold! Ash: (as Stone Cold Steve Austin) It's gonna be a stoppy day in heck, 'cause Stone Cold said so! Brock: Ok...that was lame. Misty: I could have told you that. Misty stopped and faced him. "……Besides Pikachu……Do you love me, too?" "Uh………" "Pi?" "Umm……" "……Well?" Misty: Drumroll please... (All slap hands on their thighs) Don't just stand there like an idiot, say something! Misty pleaded. "I, uh……well……" Ash felt himself blushing. "I dunno. Maybe." "What!?" Misty shrieked, "I give you my heart, and all you give back is 'maybe'!!?" Brock: (As Ash) I have something to tell you...I love Psyduck.... Ash shrugged and blushed some more. "Eh…What can I say? I……don't really know. I…never really thought it would matter." "Whaddaya mean you never really thought it would matter!?" How? When it's mattered so much to me… Ash ducked his head. Why did she have to pressure him like this? "……I know I'll always have Pikachu……Why would I need anyone else?" Misty's face turned red, but not from embarrassment……Well, maybe a little. Misty: Eh...I won't say anything. "Ash Ketchum!! I-! I don't believe you!!!" "Wh-why not!??" Ash asked, a little taken aback. "B-because-!!" Misty paused to catch her breath. "Because………I need you." Brock: (singing) I want to feel you from the inside! Ash stood there, staring dumbly. "…Huh?" he managed to say. "Ash……We've known each other now, for…geez, it's been two years now. Come on. I don't know what I'd do without you. Please say the same for me…" Ash thought about what would be a good answer. If I say no, she'll just get mad at me again. If I say yes……… ……… That's when Ash realized something for the first time. If I say…yes………I…I wouldn't be……lying. "Yes." "……Yes what?" Ash mentally smacked himself. "Yes……I……I agree." He took a deep breath. There. He'd said it. He hoped she wouldn't……you know. Misty: *Don't* say it, Brock! (Brock snaps his fingers) "………You agree?" "Uh-huh." All: (singing) That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it! Uh-huh, uh-huh! "………Wow……I……" She grinned and blushed. "That's………really sweet of you, Ash." "Huh!? What do you mean sweet? I'm just telling the truth!" Misty knew Ash wasn't subtle enough to be saying that just to get on her good side. "…You…you really do mean that, don't you." "Of course I do!" "Then…" "Then what?" "Then………" Misty grinned. "…will you go out with me?" "Pi, ka…!" Pikachu moaned. Ash tried to hold in his temper. It didn't work. He'd known Misty for far too long. "NO!!!" he said, in pure Misty-style. A/N There we go. Ash: (As author) I *had* to make Ash not go out with Misty! It was in his genes! That's the end of my first ever trilogy! How'd ya like it? Misty: Be gentle, Brock... Brock: Oh, okay. It sucks. 'Nuff said. *starts dancing to "Twist and Shout* -Dragoness *^_^* Ash: Ok.... Misty: That was a disturbing look into the author's life... Brock: Come on, let's go... (All leave theater) (1...2...3...4...5...Bridge) (All enter bridge) Misty: Brock, you never answered my question. Brock: Well...what was your question? Ash: Cool! (Ash has turned on the TV and is watching "Star Wars" with the volume *loud*.) Misty: ASH!! TURN IT DOWN!! Ash: WHAT?? Misty: TURN IT DOWN!! Brock: OH, NO, WE'VE GOT ROCKET SIGN! (Brock pushes a button) [Rocket HQ] Jessie: What the...? WHAT'S GOING ON? [SOL] (Ash turns down the volume) Brock: ASH IS WATCHING A MOVIE WITH THE VOLUME HIGH! Misty: Ow! Hurt my ears, why dont'cha you? Brock: Oh, sorry. [Rocket HQ] Jessie: Anyway, did Giovanni give you your fanfic? [SOL] Brock: Oh, boy, he gave us three! [Rocket HQ] Jessie: Liar. Now th- James: (looking into the screen) Hey..lookie! They have an HDTV! Jessie: An HD what? James: Can't we have one? Jessie: Settle down. James: I want one! Jessie: Do you even know what it is? James: Um...no. But I still want it! (Jessie groans and pushes a button) (Credits roll) ----------------------------------------- (Stinger) A blinding flash of lightning lit up the stadium. When it faded, the awed spectators saw that Pikachu and Jynx were still…uh…locked in combat.
