Hey friends,
Read it, Love it, enjoy it and review it!
"Hey Ash where are you? Look, I am here. Come out!" said the 18 year old, Pewter city gym leader, Brock who had just returned from a grocery store.
"I saw Ash practicing for a match in the garden an hour ago may be he would be there." He communicated with himself
Suddenly, some crackling sounds struck his ears. It was not pleasant to hear them. It was as if someone was having a terrible argument that was soon turning into a fight or maybe something so.
Soon someone was moving towards him. Brock sensed the clacking of heel that was moving towards him. He turned his back to see after.
"Oh Brock, you're back. Come help me in the Kitchen. You know it's Ash's birthday today. We have to surprise him!" said kind and familiar voice. She was no one else but the mother of Ash, Mrs. Ketchum.
"Yeah, I am back. But where is Ash?" he questioned
"Oh Ash? He's busy doing something with Misty. Don't disturb them, let them have a good time together. They must be doing something with their Pokemons." She replied gently with calmness in her voice
"With Misty! But why? I mean why you left them alone?" he replied in worry like it was something disastrous.
By this time he was able to figure out that they were Ash and Misty who were making those unspeakably bad arguments.
"I will come to you soon Mrs. Ketchum. Ash and Misty together means two lions locked together in a cage. Both are catastrophic. I have to stop them." He completed and ran after the voice.
Delia was totally surprised to see that what was happening. She just neglected it.
In the garden
"I will kill you Ash!" said Misty overwhelmed by her very famous temper. She was holding a chair, ready to hit Ash as if he had committed a crime.
"Oh really? You can't even touch me." Said Ash taunting and provoked her with an unfriendly grin on his face.
"Oh yes, what you can do, if I have plenty of brain." He continued
"Yeah, plenty of useless material which you call brain in your language." replied the red haired chaffing upon him.
He cut her in between and tended to complete- "What? Misty I'll not leav-" but was soon interrupted by Brock.
"Stop it guys! You are behaving like second graders. You are fifteen and in fact Ash, you are sixteen today." He cut them
"Oh Ash, is today your birthday? I am sorry to fight with you. I forgot that today's your birthday." Said Misty on hearing the news.
"That's ok. No need to be sorry." Ash admitted
Brock was so surprise to see such a sudden mood change and demanded an answer. He asked, "Can you just tell me what was going on here a few
seconds back?"
"Nothing, just a bit argument." Both replied together. They acted as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah I know how your small arguments turn into a terrible fight. Well can I know the reason?" Reacted the gym leader
"Well…" both tried to recover
"Well..? Ash do you remember why we were fighting?" asked Misty hopelessly
""Mmm.. May be about Pokemon or something?" he replied unsurely
"That's great! You fought like cats and dogs and now you don't remember the bone of contention!" Brock snapped back
"I guess we're having a conflict regarding a Sudowoodo!" exclaimed Misty in delight as she got back to the point
"Yeah, we're just discussing whether is a rock or water-type and.." continued Ash
Brock smashed his forehead with his palm, hopelessly.
"And then both of you switched your routes and started making personal comments. Leave all this guys. When elephants fight, it is the grass who suffers. Why don't you understand?" Brock requested
"Ok drop the topic. Let's go to a mall, we'll have fun." Suggested Misty
Brock totally agreed to Misty but on hearing about the 'shopping and fun' like stuff, Ash rolled of his eyes and clenched his fingers into tight fists, pretending to show his disapproval
"Oh common Ash, come with us!" asked Misty in her icy-cold voice.
"Ok, only if you beg, Misty" stood Ash in his attitude
"I'll come but you have to buy a birthday gift for me. Only your bucks. Not a single penny to be borrowed." Demanded Misty
Misty grew up in anger. Her jaw fell to the ground in astonishment but attempted to calm down and was successful.
Shopping Mall
After having a lot of time wandering here and there, our choosy Misty got nothing for Ash, that she found to be a perfect 'gift' for him. Ash was tired too but there was not a single sign of boredom on Misty's face.
Ash was also very much determined to get his gift from Misty. He didn't want it to get out of his hold but nothing could be done about the human nature! Misty was roaming everywhere but Poor Ash and Brock had to carry those shopping bags.
"Ugm, let's go to the fourth floor. We'll surely get something there for Ash" said Misty
"Uh,Umm..Misty? I am kinda hungry. I'll return soon. Till then you complete your shopping with Ash, bye!" intended Brock to make off.
"Ok! As you wish." Said Misty with no issue.
"But I don't wish so1 Brock may be I'll come with you. I am thirsty too." Said Ash lifelessly.
"No need to go Mr. Ketchum! I have some water in my bag. You come with me!" exclaimed Misty in total disapproval
"Ok then, you enjoy!" said Brock, bit nervously. He was feeling really bad for his friend.
"Hmm.. Let's continue!" said Misty excitedly, getting mad about the whole shopping thing.
"Uh, Misty? Can we use an elevator this time to go up? I am tired." Pleaded Ash
"If you want we can use it." Agreed Misty
Finally, there was a sigh of relief on Ash's face. He intended to have a peaceful time in the elevator. At least a few seconds!
Ash and Misty reached near the elevator. Misty held her hand to reach to the button and so Ash. Both touched each other's hand instead of the button.
"Oh!" exclaimed Misty "What's the hurry? I am pressing it. You need your involvement in each and every case!" continued Misty
"Ugh! It's difficult to stand with you even a minute Misty. I don't know how do mom spend days chatting with you. I can't even stay with you alone for some time. I need Brock to handle you." Slammed Ash
Silent expression crossed Misty's face. She went blank and it pinched her heart to hear something like that from her best friend of all time.
Ash too realized that he spoke too much. He didn't utter a word but felt sorry. Finally, the door of the lift opened. They both stepped in and it closed all
over again.
Ash kept all those shopping bags down. He decided to speak up sorry to her. He put up all of his courage. And-
"umm..M-Misty?" he said in a calm tone
"Yeah, speak up. I am listening." Said Misty expressionlessly
"Well, I am.. I am –
And when he opened up his mouth to expel that word of apology, something strange happened. The lights of the lift started fluctuating.
"Ahh, Ash!" screamed Misty, folding her hands tightly along his arms and squeezing herself tightly against his shoulders.
"Are you all right, Misty?" enquired Ash with concerned voice
"Yeah I am fine but what's happening?" asked Misty
"I don't know. I- I think the lift is out of service and we are trapped!" he said what he didn't wanted
"What?!" slammed Misty
"Oh Ash! It's all because of you! you wanted to go by an elevator, don't you?" she shouted at him
"Me?! Impossible! It's you! you came here. " blamed Ash
"Leave it we shouldn't fight! It's better if we don't talk to each other" suggested Misty and so Ash
Both of turned their backs towards each other and silently relaxed on the floor. An hour passed but neither Misty not Ash spoke a single sentence.
"Hey Misty, what's the time?" said Ash unwillingly
"It's 1 in the afternoon" replied Misty
"Woah! We are here since an hour without fighting. Brock must be proud of us." Said Ash as he broke the silence
"Don't joke. I am not interested to talk to you. Take out your Pokemons and help me." She suggested
Ash gave a blank look to her.
"I am sure you'll beat me but… I neither have pokeballs nor a phone!" he said and smiled
"You are mad." Said Misty "Brock Must be finding us." She continued
An hour later
Ash broke the silence again
"Misty, Wanna play a game? Just for time-pass?" said Ash
"We are trapped and you are thinking of a game. Still, tell me what kind of a game?" she further enquired
"Nothing just question and answers." He proposed
Misty just nodded as she knew that it would soon turn into a terrible fight as usual.
"Ok let me start, Umm.. What do you think about me?" he asked in a hope to get an answer
Misty narrowed her eyes and gave him a blank look.
"What do you want to hear?" she said boldly
Ash's face just turned red. He escaped her gaze meeting his and started whistling.
She narrowed her eyes again and squeezed her face. And said-
"Are you trying to Flirt?"
"With whom?" he said
"Haha! With Ghosts!" she said
"No I am not. Just tell me. Just for fun." He demanded as if he really needed her review
She slammed his head pretty hard with her mallet.
"Ouch! You carry it everywhere Misty?" he asked with some pain and a slight laughter
"Yep! It's just for you Ash!" she replied
