***Author's Note***
This is my first fanfic! I'm a huge pokeshipping fan (Misty is my favourite character) and I read a lot of pokeshipping fanfctions and I came up with some ideas for some stories myself. So I came up with this idea while watching High School Musical one night and I had this idea to make a pokemon version. This version won't have all characters replace one in the movie due to their personalities and some scenes won't be from the movies. I plan to do all three movies.
Other shippings I support are Contestshipping, Ikarishipping, Rocketshipping , Handymanshipping, Oldrivalshipping and Wishfulshipping (but I won't include them all in this fanfic).
This version however will not have the actual pokemon in it but they will be mentioned. There will be pokemon professors as teachers and Wildcats will be changed to Motres.
I totally recommend watching looking up the songs on youtube or watching the movie because(if you can't really remember what they do during that scene) it is difficult to describe what they're doing while they're singing (just imagine it is those characters singing it).
I also plan on doing some oneshots and other stories in the future.
So if you like High School Musical and the following shippings you will like this. This chapter is just pokeshipping Enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Start of Something New
Normal POV
It was New Year's Eve and there was a party going on at the ski lodge but not everyone was celebrating. Sitting on a couch reading peacefully sat Misty Waterflower who was deep into her favourite novel. She had her hair tied up in her trademark side ponytail and had some casual clothes on and didn't notice someone walking up to her.
Misty's POV
"Mist, it's New Year's Eve. Enough reading. " Said my mother as she snatched my favourite book away from me.
"Oh but, Mum, I'm almost done." I asked Aren't parents supposed to encourage reading?!
"There's teen party. I've laid out your best clothes. Come get ready." Mum replied.
"Can I have my book back?" I asked. Mum hands the book back to me.
"Thank you." I said to her.
"Come on." My mother replied as we walked out of the room.
Normal POV
Meanwhile in the lodge gym…
Mrs. Ketchum dressed nicely for the party enters the gym to find her son and husband busy shooting hoops.
Ash's POV
(Dad bounces the ball to me) "Keep working left, Ash. Got a guard in the championship game we're expectin'. You'll torch 'em!" said Dad.
"By going left?" I ask.
"Yeah. He looks middle, you take it downtown." Dad answered.
"OK, like this?' I asked as I go left and nail the shot.
"Whoo! That's it man. Sweet. I wanna see that in the game." Said Dad.
"Boys?" said Mum.
"Oh you'll see that in the game, don't worry about me." I replied to Dad.
"Did we really fly all this way to play more basketball?" My Mum asked. I look at dad and he looks at me for a moment.
"Yeah." We both reply.
"It's the last night of vacation. The party, remember?" said Mum.
"Right, the party. The party. New Year's Eve." Dad says.
"Ash, they have a kids party downstairs in the Freestyle club." Said Mum.
"Kid's party?" I ask not convinced at going.
"Young adults. Now go, shower up." Mum replied. I take the ball from dad and bounce it once.
"Come on, one more." I beg and Mum sighs. "Last one."
"Real quick." Dad said. Mum relents. As before, I nail the shot.
"There we go. That's the way to end it!" I said as we all walk out of the gym.
Normal POV
At the party...
The party is in full swing as Ash enters and casually makes his way through the crowd. Ash now out of his sports clothes was now in dark blue jeans, a white dress shirt (not tucked in of course this is Ash we're talking about), a black blazer and white sneakers and stood near the karaoke stage looking around at the party.
Misty now out of her casual clothes and now into skinny jeans, black ballet flats, a white long sleeved shirt and a Jade green cardigan and had her hair down, shyly made her way through the crowd as a partygoer tips his ridiculously large cowboy hat at her.
"Howdy, ma'am." Says the partygoer. Misty smiles timidly as she finds an unoccupied cushion and went back to her book.
"All right! How about that for a couple of snowboaders?" Asks the host as the audience cheers loudly as the snowboarders step off stage.
"Yeah! Who's gonna rock the house next? Huh?" Asks the host as he steps off the stage as two spotlights move around the crowd and eventually stop on Ash and Misty.
"Ha-ha! Ho-Ho!" says the host.
Ash politely attempts to decline but the kids around him push him closer to the stage.
"I can't sing. No, you go." Said Ash.
The host walks to where Misty is sitting and takes her hand.
"And you! Yeah, come on." Says the host.
Misty looked scared as she is led to the stage as Ash tries in vain to escape.
"Look I don't sing. I can't sing. No, guys..." Ash protested.
"Get up there!" yelled a partygoer.
Ash and Misty reluctantly get up on the stage in front of two microphones and glimpsed at each other but quickly looked away.
"Hey you know what? Someday you guys might thank me for this…" the host began as he handed his mic to Ash.
"Or not." the host finished as he stepped off the stage smirking. Ugh, he reminds me of Gary! This is exactly something he would do to humiliate me. Ash thought. Might as well get it over with. The music begins to play and Ash took a deep breath and began to sing the words on screen while shooting glances at Misty.
[Ash] Livin' in my world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Ash took once last look at Misty and concluded that she wasn't going to sing and started to walk off the stage. Well that was humiliating. Ash thought. Well I might as well try Misty thought as she took one deep breath and began to sing her part.
[Misty] I never believed in (As she starts sing Ash turns around and stares at Misty for a moment before he starts to walk back to his microphone)
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
[Ash] Ohhhhh
[Misty] To all the possibilities, ooh
[Both] I know…
[Misty] That something has changed
[Both] Never felt this way
[Misty] And right here tonight
[Both] this could be the…
(Both glance at each other constantly and both start to smile)
[Both] Start of somethin' new
[Misty] It feels so right
[Both] To be here with you, ooh
And now looking in your eyes (start looking at each other smiling)
[Misty] I feel in my heart
[Both] The start of somethin' new
[Ash] Ohhhh, yeah
[Ash] Now who'd of ever thought that… oh (Ash is now taking off his blazer and Misty smiles wider and people are cheering in the background and people start clapping to the music)
[Both] We'd both be here tonight… yeah
[Misty]Oh yeah, the world looks so much brighter (Both now getting into the song Ash especially)
[Ash] Brighter, brighter
[Misty] Oh, with you by my side
[Ash] By my side
[Both]I know… that somethin' has changed (Facing each other Ash starts to dance a little)
Never felt this way
[Misty] oh I know it for real
[Both] This could be the…
[Both] Start of somethin' new (people dancing in the background)
It feels so right to be here with you… oh (ash dancing and both facing each other)
And now… looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of somethin' new
[Ash] I never knew that it could happen (while signing he's doing the lunge thing with the mic stand Misty grins and blushes a little and looks behind her a few times)
'Til it happened to me (Misty giggles at Ash)
Ohhhh, yeah (Ash sing very enthusiastically into the mic)
[Both] I didn't know it before (Both dances)
[Misty] But now it's easy to see (Misty dancing enthusiastically and Ash so does Ash)
[Both] Ohhhhh (Ash puts his arm in the air)
[Both] It's the start of something new (Both dancing very enthusiastically)
It feels so right to be here with you... oh
And now... lookin' in your eyes (Ash walks over to Misty and reaches out when they sing 'eyes' and then puts his arm down. Both staring deeply into each other's eyes)
I feel in my heart (Ash grabs Misty's mic stand and moves it out the way so he can get closer)
That it's the start of somethin' new (Ash takes one step forward towards Misty. Misty takes a step bawards almost falling off the stage but is pushed right back up not taking their eyes off each other)
It feels so right (Both continue dancing)
[Ash] So right... oh
[Misty] To be here with you... oh
[Both] And now...
[Misty] Lookin' in your eyes
[Ash] Lookin' in your eyes (Ash reaches out again like before and puts his arm down again)
[Misty] I feel in my heart (Misty puts her hand over her heart)
[Ash] Feel in my heart
[Misty] The start of somethin' new (Ash and Misty are very close together. Their mics are almost touching)
[Ash] The start of somethin' new (Ash turns his head away and sings passionately into his mic and then turns his head back to Misty)
[Misty] The start of somethin' new
[Ash] Somethin' new (Both stare deeply into each other's eyes)
{Song Ends}
The crowd goes crazy but Misty and Ash stay exactly how they are. The host came back onto stage and claps with the crowd.
"Ash'" says Ash extending out his hand smiling.
"Misty," says Misty and they both shake hands.
Now off stage talking to each other on the Freestyle Club Balcony …
"But seriously, you have an amazing voice. You're a singer right?" Asks Ash as they walking and drinking hot chocolate.
"Just church choir is all. I tried to do a solo and nearly fainted." Replies Misty.
"Really? Why is that?" Asks Ash.
"I took one look at all the people staring at me and next thing I knew I was staring at the ceiling. End of solo career." Explains Misty.
"Well with the way you sang tonight, that's pretty hard to believe," said Ash.
"Well that was the first time I did that. I mean, it was so cool!" Exclaims Misty.
"I know! Completely!" Replies Ash equally enthusiastic.
"Well you sounded like you've sung a lot, too," said Misty.
"Yeah sure. My showerhead is very impressed with me," replies Ash sarcastically.
"9, 8, 7...6, 5, 4...3, 2, 1!" Yells the crowd in the background.
The crowd goes wild as an impressive fireworks display begins. Ash and Misty look at each other in a moment of silence before Misty breaks the silence.
"I guess I better go find my mom and wish her a happy new year," said Misty.
"Yeah, me too. I mean, not your mom. My mom... and dad. Uh... I'll call you. I'll call you tomorrow," Ash replied.
"Yeah!" Replies Misty enthusiastically.
"Here, put your number in," said Ash as they take out their phones.
"Here," said Ash as he takes a photo of Misty.
"You to," said Misty as Ash takes a selfie with Misty's phone.
"There you go," said Ash as they give each other's phone back. Misty walks away without Ash noticing.
"Just so you know, singing with you is the most fun I've had on this entire vacation. So um... where do you live?" Asks Ash, he turns and discovers that Misty has left. He looks at the picture of her in his phone longingly.
"Misty," Ash said to himself leaving him deep in thought as he stares into the night sky.
***Author's Note***
So that's Chapter 1. This Chapter is a bit smaller than I will do later. I just wanted to stop here for this chapter. Please rate and review. I am new to this so feedback is greatly appreciated. I will try to add as much of pokemon as I can but it may be difficult since I'm following the High School Musical storyline.
I plan to write another fic about them having to do a play and Misty's song will be included in it! I have some idea on how I'll include the song but not a complete storyline about the play so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
See you guys in Chapter 2!
