''As our heroes prepare for fun in the sun, they contemplate their exact plans''.

''OK, what exactly are we doing again?'', Dawn asked carrying a cooler onto a large fishing boat.

''Argh! I told you! We're going on a fishing trip! Weren't we talking about this for the last two weeks!?'', Ash asked slightly annoyed at Dawn's question.

''...well you didn't have to be so rude about it!'', Dawn replied as she stepped onto the ship. Ash was tempted to hit her over the head with one of the fishing rods he was carrying, but stopped himself. After extensive and grueling training in Sinnoh, Ash, Brock, Dawn, and Pikachu had decided that they needed a long break. So Ash and Brock had the idea of going back to Kanto and inviting some of their closest friends for a fishing trip. Dawn had not met many of Ash's friends, and so was quick to agree. After a few days of traveling and boat rides, they finally made it back to Kanto. Once there, they immediatly met up with old friends Misty and Tracy, ( both of which very happy to see their friends ). After discussing their plan with them, Tracy had decided to ask Prof. Oak if they could use his boat that they used for research, to which he happily agreed to. Misty also suggested to contact their other friends from Hoenn. Ash called and invited both May and Max. Both of them happened to be at their home/gym visiting with May's rival Drew, who was also invited. It did not take them three of them long to reach Kanto, and so now the 8 of them were at the Pallet Town docks, unloading Prof. Oak's truck and putting all of the stuff onto the boat.

''Alright, what are we missing? Rods, check, bait, check, something to read while waiting...'', Brock said. He then pulled out a magazine from his vest pocket, eyed it carefully, and put it away, making sure no one looked. ''...check'', he finished, ( yeah 3 guesses as to what type of magazine THAT was! ). ''Alright, we all got what we need!?'', Brock asked yelling. Tracy, Ash, and Dawn were already on board and yelled yes. Misty had just finished unloading the last bit of her stuff and said she was ready. Max had one last conversation with Prof. Oak, ( who had brought the boat to the docks and was currently giving Pikachu a quick check up ), but said he was set. This only left May and Drew. ''Where's May and Drew?'', Brock asked.

''Last time I saw them, they were unloading the truck'', Tracy said.

''Here we are!'', May yelled. Brock turned around and nearly fell over in laughter at what he saw. May and Drew were both waking towards Brock. May carrying a rod and tackle box, Drew carrying at least 5 suitcases, all of which were May's.

''Uh May, why is Drew carrying 5 of your suitcases? In fact, why do you even HAVE 5 suitcases? What's in them?'', Brock asked.

''Well the're my bathing suits of coarse! I have no idea which ones I should be wearing for which times!'', May said By this time, Ash was walked up beside Brock to see what the commotion was all about.

''May, were going fishing, you'll probably only need one, if that!'', Ash said with a smile. ''And Drew, you actually offered to take her stuff? That's not like you'', he continued looking at a very tired and very impatient Drew.

''I'm a gentleman like that'', Drew said struggling with the heavy load. As he said this, Prof. Oak, Max, and Pikachu had appeared and Prof. Oak looked at Drew in confusion.

''Uh, May, I believe Ash is right, you don't need all of this. Drew don't worry about those, I'll take them to the truck myself'', Prof. Oak said.

''Thank you very much!'', Drew said out of breath. Suddenly, he fell backwards from the extensive weight. Pikachu then hopped onto Ash's shoulder with a happy, ''Pika!''.

''Alright then, let's hit the open sea!'', Ash yelled. ( if I were there, I would have grabbed a stick and literally hit the water, but NO! No one appreciates my sense of humor! ). Ash and the gang then boarded the ship and headed out, leaving Prof. Oak to wave to them goodbye. However, Prof. Oak was not the only one to see them leave, for hiding behind some large crates on another dock were three familiar faces, known only as Team Rocket.

''Well there they go on their liitle fishing trip!'', Jessie said.

''Hey Jess, if we's have a vacation, why's we followin the twerps?'', Meowth asked dumbfounded.

''Because we have nothing else to do!'', Jessie yelled. James, who had remained surprisingly quiet, just thought of something.

''Hey! I got an idea! How about we do our own fishing!?'', James said excitedly. Jessie and Meowth were surprised at his sudden suggestion, but liked it.

''Sure, I haven;t fished in a long time!'', Jessie said.

''And when is it ever a bad idea to catch and eat some fish!?'', Meowth said with his mouth watering. They then all laughed evily and ran to their submarine.

The boat ride was a pleasant one. Brock was named captain, a role he took rather seriously as he dressed himself much like Archie of the Elite Four, ( if you don't know who he is, look on the Trainer Card on my profile, it's in hyperlink ). Tracy was his navigator and together they were finding a good spot to fish. Both May and Dawn had become good friends during this vacation and were currently sitting on the main deck as the boat cruised across the ocean waves. Drew had decided to take a nap on a lounge chair and Max was playing with Pikachu inside the boat, ( the boat looks like the one in, ''Power Of One'', the second Pokemon movie, it's the one at the very beginning, but bigger. Would have had the speed boat, but my little brother remembered that one ). Meanwhile, Ash was at the end of the boat, watching the sea and sky. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Misty. He smiled as she took a spot right beside him, leaning against the guard rail surrounding the boat's edge.

''Watcha doin?'', Misty asked casually.

''Just thinking'', Ash replied.

''Ash, thinking? This is a whole new thing for you, you better watch yourself or you might pull something!'', Misty joked. Ash's eyes slanted.

''Har, har'', Ash replied sarcastically. Misty giggled which secretly set fireworks off in Ash's stomach, how he loved to hear her laugh.

''So Ash, mind if I ask you a question?'', Misty asked.

''Well you just did, but shoot'', Ash replied. He got a playful slap to the back of the head as a reply, but Misty continued.

''Why did you do all of this? Get us all together for a fishing trip? Bit random don't you think?'', Misty asked.

''Well for one thing, you just said I could pull something if I thought too much, so stop trying to get me hurt'', Ash said. Misty sighed at Ash's pathetic attempt of humor, secretly wishing she never said that in the first place. ''Bu to be serious, I just wanted to have a fun little vacation with all of my friends, and I know how much you love fishing!'', Ash said. Misty smiled and pinched Ash's cheeks.

''Nice attempt to make me flattered, but you still owe me a bike'', Misty said. She then walked off towards the Captain's quarters. Ash watched her leave while he felt where she pinched him, admiring her figure. Misty had grown since they last met, and Ash didn't fail to notice. Secretly, Ash wanted nothing more than to place his arms around those curvy hips and kiss those beautiful lips, ( RHYME! ), but he controlled himself and continued to stare out at the open sea and think. As Misty entered the Captain's quarters, she noticed Tracy leaning against the wall, sketching the open sea. She also noticed Brock, who for some reason wore a captain's hat, white cape, and matching shirt and pants. He also had in his mouth a smoker's pipe, but instead of smoke, bubbles popped out of it, ( do not support smoking, plus it's funny, expectable of him ). ''What's with Brock's get up?'', Misty asked.

''He's in his own little world'', Tracy said with a smirk.

''O...K...anyway, Brock, when will we reach our fishing spot?'', Misty asked. Brock continued to stare out at the open sea, ignoring Misty. ''Brock?'', Misty asked.

''He only replies to Captain Brock'', Tracy said as though as he were enjoying the scene. Misty sighed.

''Alright, Captain Brock, when are we stopping?'', Misty asked. Brock slightly smirked, liking the name.

''Actually, here is a good spot, were above a sea bed, it's a good place to start'', Brock said. He then stopped the boat and readied his gear. Misty stepped out and told everyone that they had reached their destination. May, Dawn, Ash, Pikachu, Tracy, and Brock immediatly got their stuff and prepared to fish. Max on the other hand, was given the duty to throw the anchor over board, which he quickly agreed to. Unfortunately, because it was a large boat, it had a large anchor. So Max slowly tried to carry the anchor to the edge of the boat, struggling as he did so. Suddenly, Drew walked up to Max and lifted the anchor from him with one hand. As Drew smirked at the little boy, Max looked at him annoyed.

''Show off!'', Max said. He then walked away, muttering something under his breath. Drew smirked again and flipped his hair. And then with one great swing, he threw the anchor overboard. By this time, most everyone already had their bait in the water. Towards the front of the boat, Dawn stood against the guard rail, slightly bored, but patient. Although they have only had their lures in for about 10 minutes, the lack of action already took it's toll on the usually active girl. Suddenly, there was a jerk on her rod. She immediatly grabbed her rod and started pulling.

''I caught something, I caught something!'', Dawn yelled. She then raised her rod to see a Whooper on the end of her line, smiling with joy with a hook in it's mouth. ''Ah! It's a Whooper! It's so cute!'', Dawn yelled. All of a sudden, the smiling Whooper removed the hook from it's mouth with it's tail and took off the bait, which was a Pokeblock. It ate the Pokeblock and then went under the water. ''What!? That little creetin took my bait!'', Dawn yelled angrily. During this, May was on the port side of the boat with her bait in the water looking bored.

''No bites?'', Drew asked approaching her. May glanced over her shoulder to see her rival with his rod in hand.

''No, not even one nibble! I've been here for like half an hour already!'', May said annoyed. Drew smirked.

''Well for one thing, we've only been fishing for about 15 minutes, besides, maybe it's just not your day!'', drew said. He then threw his bait into the water right next to May's. Immediatly, he got a tug on his line. May looked on in complete amazement as Drew reeled in a Seaking. Drew smirked even more as he removed the hook and threw the Seaking back into the water. He then smiled at May and flipped his hair. ''Well maybe that was a lucky catch'', Drew said knowing it would agitate May, it did.

''What do you mean a lucky catch!? Yours was right next to mine!'', May complained. Drew replaced his bait with another Pokeblock and threw it back in the water right next to May's.

''It could just be that I'm a better fisherman'', Drew said. May turned red.

''Oh no your not! ANything you can do, I can do too! And what makes you think you'll catch anything else!?'', May yelled. As if on cue, Drew's line was pulled again. May was dumbfounded as Drew reeled in a Barboach and once again released his catch. May was now more annoyed than ever. ''Argh! Why does that keep happening!?'', May yelled throwing her arms in the air in frustration.

''Maybe I have better bait'', Drew said pulling out a Pokeblock from his pocket.

''It can't be, I have the same bait'', May replied pulling out her line and revealing a Pokeblock at the end of it, Drew looked at it in almost knowing disgust.

''Uh May, did you make that yourself?'', Drew asked.

''Of coarse I did! It's May's yellow surprise!'', May said proudly. ( ( Psycho music plays ) RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ). Drew smirked.

''Well then that explains it, that's why your not catching anything, it's your horrible Pokeblock!'', Drew said, May nearly exploaded.

''IT IS NOT MY POKEBLOCK! I'LL SHOW YOU THAT I CAN FISH!'', May yelled. She then threw her line back into the water. Drew did the same and immediatly there was a tug on his line. Meanwhile, Ash and Misty were at the end of the ship with their lines in the water.

''So Ash, plan on catching anything worthy in a Pokemon Master's eyes?'', Misty asked.

''Of coarse! I'm Ash Ketchum! I can catch anything!'', Ash said flexing his muscles as a joke. Misty giggled, which Ash secretly blushed to.

''Alright Ash, let's just see what you catch!'', Misty said. Ash smirked.

''That sounded a little competitive, is this a challenge I'm sensing?'', Ash asked.

''Person who catches the most is treated by the loser?'', Misty suggested.

''Deal!'', Ash replied. Suddenly, there was a tug on Ash's line.

''Looks like you already got something!'', Misty said. Misty's line then had a tug.

''Looks like you do too!'', Ash replied. The both of them then pulled on their lines, feeling something strong. They pulled and pulled, neither one of them giving up, until they managed to pull their catches out of the water. But they some came to realize that their catch was each other, their lines got tangeled. ''Oh, we're tangeled'', Ash said. Misty smiled.

''What was your first clue genious?'', Misty asked smiling. Although this was a playful insult, Ash smiled back. Misty then glanced at the tangeled mess and noticed something. ''Hey Ash, what lure is that?'', Misty asked. Ash realized what she was talking about and tried to hide his lure.

''Uh, it's nothing!'', Ash said. Misty didn't buy it, something Ash should of expected.

''Oh come one! Let me see!'', Misty said trying to grab the line. Eventually, she did and noticed Ash's lure to be her own, it was her lucky lure that she sent to him as a gift, the one that was a mini replica of herself. ''You're...you're using my lure'', Misty said shocked. Ash blushed.

''Well, uh...it's your special lure...and, uh, I needed some...luck?'', Ash said. Misty smiled, blushing slightly. Ash then got a glimpse of Misty's lure, which surprisingly enough, was him. ''Is that lure...me?'', Ash asked. Misty hurridly grabbed it and blushed.

''No! Uh...it's...well OK, it is you'', Misty said. She then revealed her lure to be Ash, making the same ''V'' pose as Misty's, it was also in Ash's original attire.

''You made one...of me?'', Ash asked.

''Well, I figured, since you have one of me, I should have one...of...you?'', Misty said. Ash smiled.

''Thanks Mist'', Ash said. Misty smiled back.

''No problem'', Misty replied. The two of them then were silent for awhile until they realized their akward moment.

''Oh, uh, here, let's get this mess fixed'', Ash said stammering. He then tried to undo the lines. Misty tried to help and their hands bumped into each other. They both immediatly blushed and pulled away from each other.

Well I'm done with my first chapter! I hope you all liked it. And remember, Review, Alert, and Favorite! Also, check my poll, I would like it if you people voted on it and tell me what you think. I might be changing the poll soon, depending on how many people vote on it. Tell me what you thought of this story, I am thinking of doing my horror story soon, since I'm more used to Action/Adventure/Romance than Comedy/Romance. It's been awhile since I've been on here, so give me a break if the're are spelling mistakes and things like that. Until then, see ya!

sincerely, evan, a fan of aaml
