A/N: Hello world! Here I am starting a collection of winter-themed AAML/DAML drabbles! Well this chapter's a little long to be a drabble but whatever! And I am taking plot requests on these so if you have an idea, PM me!

The idea for this one was suggested to me by Alyss Ashworth! Thank youuuu, pal! It was a lot of fun to write!

"Sorry everyone, but the weather is just too bad! It's a huge blizzard so I'm afraid you all have to stay inside today." Nurse Joy announced apologetically as she closed the doors to the Pokémon Center.

The trainers all groaned, complaining loudly about their misfortune. Among the loudest was none other than Ash Ketchum.

"Urgh! Mannn! I got all bundled up for nothing!" He slumped down on a couch in the lobby beside Brock and Misty, removing his ski mask and goggles.

"Ash, it's like negative ten degrees outside. It'd be miserable! Not to mention the wind-chill…." Brock said, matter-of-factly.

Ash just scoffed. "Pshh, I think I could totally handle it! 'Cause if you recall, I was the one who built an ice cave with my pokémon and braved a whole night in a blizzard!" He poked Brock's shoulder. "Hah! What say you to that! And not only did I survive the cold, but I bonded with my pokémon!"

Misty snorted. "Ah, yes, freezing your butt off in an ice cave is a great time for bonding! And if you think you're the cold master, need I remind you who dragged your unconscious ass out of the icy Arctic waters during the whole Chosen One ordeal without catching so much as a cold afterward?"

"Well! Yeah, but----! Y'know! SOMETIMES IT TAKES BITTER COLD TO WARM THE HEART! JEEZ!" Ash cried, stammering foolishly.

"Ash, you're not making any sense! Now quit actin' like such a baby and----!"

"Both of you shut up!" Brock threw up his arms in exasperation. "If we're gonna be stuck inside all day, you could at least try not to argue for a change!"

Misty crossed her arms. "All I wanna do right now is shove a snowball in this guy's face. Is that so much to ask?"

Suddenly, Ash leaped up. "Awww!!! That's a great idea, Mist! Let's have a snowball fight!"

Brock and Misty sweatdropped. "Uh, Ash? Just a second ago you were-----."

"GAH! But we can't go outside!" Ash continued rambling on, pacing back and forth. "What should we use? Pokéballs? No, we don't want to capture each other by accident…..Ice cubes? Too treacherous….Ooohh! I know! We could have a pillow fight, Misty! Teeheehee!" He wiggled his fingers eagerly in her face.

Rolling her eyes, Misty whacked his hand away. "No, Ash! Do you really think we'd be able to duke it out in here using white clumps of fluffy goodness without getting in trouble!?"

Just then, Pikachu wandered into the lobby, nibbling on a ketchup-drenched food item, swinging a plastic bag in her paw.

Brock raised an eyebrow. "Whatcha got in the bag, Pikachu? Hmmm….marshmallows?"

"Pika!" The little pokémon grinned, giving a thumbs-up sign.

At this, Ash and Misty whipped around to see for themselves.

"Marshmallows?" Misty began giggling maniacally.

"White clumps of fluffy goodness?!" Ash did the same.

"Hey, what're you two-----?"

Before Brock could do anything to stop them, Ash and Misty had wrenched the marshmallow bag from Pikachu's grasp, pelting each other with the treats.

Leaping up on the couch, the two began an epic brawl.

"Hah! Take that, Ketchum!" Misty cried, nailing Ash in the eye.

"AAAHH!!! Jerk!" He reeled backwards, and then attempted to hit her with one eye closed, only to miss by a mile, hitting another trainer in the back of the head.

"Hey!" The boy whipped around to face his attacker. However, Ash and Misty had quickly sat down, assuming casual poses.

Seeing no one, the boy turned back around, mumbling confusedly to himself.

As soon as he did, Ash and Misty jumped back up again, resuming their fight.

"That's it! I'm removing myself from the situation! Come on, Pikachu." Brock picked up Pikachu, who was still guzzling ketchup, and stomped out of the lobby.

Not even phased, Ash began humming 'Sandstorm' intensely as he dodged Misty's marshmallow bullets.

"God, Ash, you're so cocky! Enough with the battle music!" She quickly ducked down to avoid one of his attacks, before leaping back up to launch one of her own. "I mean, who do you think you are? Gary? Always bragging! You wouldn't have gotten anywhere if it weren't for me and Brock!"

"Yes, I would've!" He cried. "I'm Ash Ketchum, and I can do anything! POW! Gotcha!" He jumped up in victory as he hit her square in the chest with a handful of marshmallows. However, several proceeded to tumble down her shirt, making him laugh even harder.

"Ohhh yes! Perfect! WAHAHAAAA!!!" His entertainment was instantly snuffed out when he noticed Misty's eyes begin to spit flames. "Ouch, I mean sorry, Mist? Yes? I really didn't mean it….to…..happen….." He let out a small whimper as Misty advanced upon him.

"Ashhh….," she growled, closing in. "YOU PIG!" With a burst of energy, Misty tackled him onto the couch and began shoving marshmallows down his throat.

"You think you can throw marshmallows down my shirt and then laugh about it?! Huh? You think that's funny?" She cried, ignoring his muffled attempts at apology. "Eighteen, nineteen, twenty! There! Hey, your big mouth is actually good for something! Now hold on….."

After shoving the final marshmallows into his mouth, she rummaged around in her bag and pulled out a pack of Post-It notes. Scribbling something on one, she ripped it off and stuck it on the dazed Ash's forehead.

"Later, Ash!" She giggled, sauntering off.

---^_^---

Brock and Pikachu cautiously approached Ash, who was still lying defeated on the couch, his mouth full of marshmallows.

"Did she kill him?" Brock questioned, poking his friend on the shoulder.

"Pika…." Pikachu shrugged, still cradling the ketchup bottle.

Just then, Ash groaned.

"Ahh, so he is alive!" Brock grinned. "Ash, you know you've got a note on your face, right? It says 'Ash fails, Misty owns.'"

Closing his eyes in despair, Ash smacked his forehead.

Starting to walk off, Brock smirked. "Aw, I wouldn't worry about it too much, Ash. When the two of you get married, then Misty will finally recognize you as her equal! Hmmm….or not…." He shrugged and walked away still smirking knowingly.

"Huh?!" Ash shot up, only to choke on marshmallows and collapse on the floor.

"Pikapi?" Pikachu walked over and patted his shoulder. She shook her head at her trainer's bedraggled state and squirted ketchup on his nose. She then nodded in approval and ran to catch up with Brock.
