Here is my Halloween story! Sorry if It's not Halloween, I wrote this when it was Halloween and I never posted it on here, it's got some good aaml in it, so you might like it anyway! Enjoy! -EVAN
''It's almost Halloween and Ash and the gang decide to celebrate this holiday... at Ash's home town of coarse!''
''Wow! Pallet Town sure is beautiful, I forgot what it looked like in the fall'', Ash said over looking his home town of Pallet. ''Yeah your right!'', Misty said at his side. ''And we made it just in time for Halloween!'', Brock said as well. Ash, Misty, Brock, and their Pokemon have been traveling in Johto for quite awhile now. With their adventure in great progress and the holidays coming up, they decided to head to Pallet Town in Kanto to celebrate with Ash's Mom. ''It's a good thing too! Are you guys sure you don't want to visit your families though? They might be glad to see you'', Ash said. Misty and Brock nodded. ''All my sisters ever do on Halloween is watch scary movies all night'', Misty said. ''And my family makes a haunted house out of the gym. They don't need me for that'', Brock said. ''Alright then! Won't my mom be surprised to see us! C'mon let's go!'', Ash said. They then all ran to town.
As they passed through the small suburban area, they noticed many Halloween decorations around the place. Even though Halloween wasn't untill tonight, ( the sun was up and it was the Halloween morning ), many people prepared. Eventually, they reached a small house also decorated for Halloween. ''Well mom sure did a good job decorating!'', Ash said. They then walked up to the door and knocked. Soon the door opened. ''Oh Ash, it's so good to see you! What a surprise!'', Mrs. Ketchum said. She then gave everyone a warm welcoming hug. After the hug, she had everyone enter the house. The inside of the house was just as decorated as the outside, but with minor differences. ''So did you kids come here for some trick-or-treating, or are you just here to visit?'', Mrs. Ketchum asked.
''We're not sure. We came to celebrate for awhile and stay for a couple of days'', Ash said. ''Well you should at least go to Prof.Oak's Halloween costume party'', Mrs. Ketchum said. ''Oh yeah, I forgot about that! You guys would love it there!'', Ash said to Misty and Brock. ''Sounds like fun!'', Brock said. Misty then brought up a problem. ''But we don't have any costumes'', Misty said. Ash just looked at her and smiled. ''Don't worry, I know a costume store in Pallet, we can go there, my treat'', Ash said. ''Why that's very nice of you Ash, thank you!'', Misty said. Mrs. Ketchum then hugged Ash. ''Oh my Ashy's turning into a gentle man in front of the girls!'', Mrs. Ketchum said. Ash started to Blush and everyone laughed. However, Misty seemed to do more than laugh, she blushed too.
While Mrs. Ketchum played with Pikachu and Togepi, ( I know I forgot about them ), Ash, Misty, and Brock walked into the kitchen. Ash then noticed something on the kitchen table. ''Yes! Mom made her Halloween pumpkin pie!'', Ash said happily looking at the pie. ''Let me see'', Misty said. She then moved Ash out of the way so that she could see. As she did, she noticed that the pie had small, black spiders all over it. ''AUUGGHHH!'', Misty screamed. As she did this, she jumped into Ash's arms. Brock looked at the pie and laughed while Mrs. Ketchum came running in. Pikachu and Togepi soon followed.''What happened!?'', Mrs. Ketchum asked worridly. ''It's...the...pie!'', Brock said still snickering. Mrs. Ketchum looked at the pie and started to giggle as well. ''What's so funny?'', Misty asked wondering why everyone was laughing. ''Misty...the spiders...their not...'', Brock said laughing to much to continue. ''Their not real dear'', Mrs. Ketchum said. Misty then looked confused as she wondered what they meant. ''Misty, my mom sticks fake, edible spiders on her Halloween pies!'', Ash said. As he said this, Ash and Misty noticed Pikachu and Togepi climb on the table and walk up to the pie. They then picked up a spider and started nibbling on it. Misty then sighed in relief. She then noticed that she was still in Ash's arms. They looked at each other while everyone watched Pikachu and Togepi. They stared at each other's eyes, a blush showing on both of their faces. They looked deep into their souls and noticed something they never noticed before, ( well Ash didn't anyway ). This continued untill they heard a small cough. They turned and noticed Brock, Mrs. Ketchum, Pikachu, and Togepi staring at them with a small smile on their faces. Ash and Misty then blushed even more. Ash then set Misty down gently and walked out of the kitchen with Pikachu following him giggling.
About a half an hour later, Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi were ready to get their costumes. They said goodbye to Mrs. Ketchum and headed to the costume store. When they got there, they immediatly looked at the costumes. Where as some where simple, light-weight costumes, others were rather large and heavy. While they were searching, Misty said she found the perfect costume and went to try it on. While she did this, Ash and Brock continued looking. ''So Brock, what do you plan on being?'', Ash asked. Brock thought for a moment and answered. ''Well I guess I could be this pirate'', Brock said showing Ash a pirate costume. ''What about you?'', he asked. ''Well I have a couple ideas, I'll think of something'', Ash said. Just then, Misty popped out of the changing room and appeared in her costume. She was dressed as a princess with a beautiful pink and white dress. She also had her hair let down and a pointed hat that was drapped all around. She also had on what appeared to be glass slippers on her feet, ( like Cinderella and Reinasaunce ).
''What do you think?'', Misty asked. As Brock and Pikachu gave her a thumbs up and Togepi chirped, Ash just stared at her. Brock, ( who knew why he was doing this ), tried to snap Ash out of it. After he snapped his fingers, waved his hand in front of his face, and poked him, he decided to simply smack Ash in the back of the head. Ash finally snapped out of it. ''Ugh...it looks good Misty, in fact, I now know what to be!'', Ash said. He then grabbed a rather large costume and ran to try it on.
After a few minutes, Ash came out in a knight's suit. The suit was actually made of a type of metal and came with a few accesories such as a helmet and sword. ''Well that's interesting! Looking good!'', Misty said. ''Pikapi Chu Pika Pikachu'', Pikachu said. ''Now you two can go to the dance as a couple!'', Brock said teasingly. This of coarse got Misty and Ash to blush. Brock then started to laugh, but stopped when Misty hit him in the face with her mallet. Ash then paid for the costumes and they were off. When they got back to Ash's house, they showed Mrs.Ketchum their outfits. ''Oh don't you look wonderful!'' Mrs.Ketchum said. She then noticed that Pikachu and Togepi didn't have a costume. ''What about the Pokemon?'', Mrs.Ketchum asked. ''The costume store didn't sell costumes for Pokemon, so we'll have to make them!'', Ash said. He then went upstairs and brought down random things to make a costume. ''Here Pikachu wear this, you'll look like a ghost'', Ash said. He then put a small, white blanket over Pikachu. As everyone looked at him thinking of how cute he was, Pikachu walked around acting like a ghost. Unfortunately, since he couldn't see, he often bumped into walls. Everyone laughed as Ash put eye holes in the costume for him to see. ''Pikachu!'', Pikachu said thanking Ash.
''Hey Misty, what about Togepi?'', Ash asked.''Hmm...I got it! How about this!?'', Misty said. She then picked up a small piece of a plastic tube and taped it to a piece of yellow paper. Then she taped it to Togepi's back, which ended up looking like a halo. She then cut off pieces of white paper and taped that to Togepi's back to make a set of wings. ''Walla! An angel!'', Misty said when she was finished. Everyone looked at Togepi in auh as Togepi chirped happily. ''Togepriii!'', Togepi said happily. ''Well that's adorable!'', Mrs.Ketchum said. ''Yeah, good job Misty!'', Ash said sincerely. ''Thank you Ash'', Misty said.
Through out the rest of the day, Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi helped Mrs.Ketchum get ready for the party in anyway possible. They all helped her make tons of food for the party which included pie, cookies, a cake or two, salads, some appetizers, and other treats. When they finally finished, it was 7:00 pm, 5 hours before the party. ''Man I'm pooped, I don't think I'll even make it to the party!'', Ash said tiredly as he plopped on the couch. Misty then sat next to him and also looked tired. ''I know what you mean, I didn't think your mom could cook so much'', Misty said surprised. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ash got up to answer it and when he did, he saw two familiar boys his age or older dressed up. One was a vampire, the other was a zombie.
''Hello Ashy boy'', the vampire said. Ash then realized who it was. ''Gary!?'', Ash said shocked. Brock and Misty then appeared wondering who was at the door. ''Ah hello Gary, and I see you brought Tracy with you!'', Brock said refering to the zombie. ''What are you guys doing here?'', Ash asked. ''Well you see, your mom told Prof.Oak that you three were here so...'', Tracy said. ''We came for your help'', Gary finished.
Everyone looked confused as to what he was talking about, but listened. ''You see, my grandfather spent so much time and money on all of the food and decorations that he forgot to buy candym so me and Tracy offered to go trick-or-treating to get some. And we need your help to get some'', Gary said. ''You need our help to go trick-or-treating!?'', Ash asked in a surprised, mocking way. ''Yep, and their are some rules'', Tracy said. ''I didn't think their were many rules to trick-or-treating'', Misty said. ''You'll see, just grab your costumes and meet us outside'', Gary said. So Ash, Misty, and Brock did as they were told and put on their costumes. They then walkedoutside and met Gary and Tracy in the street. ''OK, now Prof.Oak made a game out of this so that we could get as much candy as possible, now the rules are, we split up into three groups of two and go trick-or-treating. The group who gets the most candy gets a surprise'', Tracy said. Brock then looked around and became confused. ''Uh guys...there's only five of us'', Brock said. ''Not for long, their was a kid who offered to help us, he said he would put on his costume and meet us here, he said that he knew you Brock'', Gary said. Brock then started to wonder who it was.
Suddenly, they heard rustling in the bushes. They turned to the bushes in freight and then something huge jumped out. It jumped onto the street and looked at them. Everyone stood in fear as they noticed it was covered in fur and had fangs. It then howled at the moon. ''AUGH! WERE-WOLF!'', everyone yelled. Suddenly, the were-wolf started laughing. ''Man I got you guys good!'', the were-wolf said.''Hey I know that voice!'', Brock said. The were-wolf then walked up to them. ''Hey Brock...it's been awhile'', the were-wolf said. Brock then realized who it was. ''Evan!?'', Brock yelled in surprisement( guess who! ). The were-wolf then removed it's mask and revieled a teenager with blackish hair and seemed to look older than Ash, Misty, Gary, and Tracy. ''Yep, it's me! Surprised to see me again after what seemed like 5 years or so?'', Evan asked. Brock nodded in agreement. ''Brock, who is this?'', Misty asked. ''Guys, this is Evan, he was a friend of mine back at Pewter City'', Brock said. ''Me and him were like partners in crime, trying to steal the hearts of all the girls!'', Brock said. ''Ah Brock! Your jokes never die out!'', Evan said laughing. Everyone then sweatdropped and collasped.
''Oh great! Brock is hard enough to watch...'', Misty said. ''Now we have to watch another one!'', Ash continued. Brock and Evan then laughed. ''OK, so it's obvious that Brock and Evan will be together, now let's decide our next team'', Gary said. ''Well now me and Ash obviously can't be together, theirs just no fun in that'', Gary said. Brock then started to whisper something into Evan's ear and Evan did the same to Brock. ''Listen, I'ne been trying to get Ash and Misty, that's the girl as the princess and the boy as the knight, together for a long time. We've got to get them together!'', Brock whispered to Evan. ''Yeah I figured as much, as soon as I saw then I thought they were perfect for each other, let's nominate them!'', Evan whispered back. They then stopped whispering and looked towards the other four. ''I nominate Ash and Misty to go together!'', Evan said raising his hand. ''So do I'', Brock said doing the same.
Ash and Misty had no idea what they were trying to do and were shocked at the idea. Brock then walked up to Tracy and whispered in his ear. ''We're trying to get Ash and Misty together, just nominate them!'', Brock whispered to Tracy. Tracy then grinned and nodded. Brock walked away and Tracy held his hand up as well. ''I also nominate Ash and Misty to go together'', Tracy said. ''Then it's decided, Ash will go with Misty and I will go with Tracy'', Gary said.
Ash and Misty were then shocked even more. They stared at each other and blushed. They were then going to pumel Brock, but noticed that he and Evan were already running away. They then disappeared down a street heading towards the suburbs. ''Well then I guess we start, we'll meet here in 4 hours, I'll tell those two about it when I find them, later'', Gary said. He and Tracy then walked off. Ash and Misty were then left there...together. ''Well now what?'', Misty asked nervously. ''We get more candy than Gary of coarse! C'mon, I know the best places!'', Ash said. He then grabbed Misty's hand and ran towards a street with Misty being dragged along. ''Ash! Wait up!'', Misty yelled as Ash pulled her towards a house. Ash then stopped and walked up to the front door. ''C'mon Misty, all of the houses I usually go to when I trick-or-treat have the most candy! This place gives you tons!'', Ash said. He sort of chuckled knowing that he remembered all of this and was a cting like a little kid again. Misty also chuckled. They then walked up to the door and knocked on it. The door opened and a older man appeared.
''Trick-or-Treat!'', Ash and Misty yelled. They then held out their candy bags. Suddenly, the man looked at Ash closly and chuckled. ''Well I do believe this is Mr.Ash Ketchum! How are you lad? I haven't seen you trick-or-treating for at least three years now!'', the man said. ''Hi Mr.Kanekura!'', Ash said. ''You know him?'', Misty asked Ash. ''Yep, he's a friend of my moms and he passes out tons of candy!'', Ash said. Mr.Kanekura then let out a hardy laugh. ''Well it seems you do remember! Now how come all of a sudden your here for Halloween? I thought you were on a Pokemon journey'', Mr.Kanekura asked. Ash then told him the story. ''Ah I see, well to help you two win, here you can have all of my candy!'', Mr.Kanekura said. He then brought out a huge bowl and spilled half of it into Ash's bag. ''Here's half for you!'', he said. He then spilled the rest into Misty's bag. ''And here's half for your girlfriend!'', he continued. Misty then blushed a deep red while Ash collasped.
''Uh Mr.Kanekura...'', Ash said. Mr.Kanekura then looked at Ash and Misty and laughed, realizing his mistake. ''Oh sorry my boy! I just figured since she's your age and I know she's not your sister so...'', Mr.Kanekura said. ''Oh it's alright, thank you for the candy!'', Ash said. Mr.Kanekura then waved good bye and closed the door. While Ash and Misty walked to the next house, Misty talked. ''Hey Ash, have you notticed how everyone thinks were a couple?'', Misty asked. Ash then stopped moving. As Misty did the same, Ash looked at her. They both then started to blush. ''Well I guess it's because were always together and because...well how we react to each other'', Ash said. Misty then thought of what Ash said and blushed. Unfortunately, in her thought, she dropped her bag of candy. They then stopped staring at each other and looked on the ground. They noticed that quite a bit of candy fell. So Misty bent down to pick it up as Ash helped. They started to fill up the bag in a hast. Ash then noticed a piece of candy, but as he went to pick it up, Misty put her hand on top of it. So Ash's hand then landed on Misty's. Ash then stared at Misty and realized that she was doing the same.
''Uh...sorry about that'', Ash said quietly. They continued to stare at each other until Ash talked. ''You know Misty...you look great in that princess costume'', Ash said sincerely. They then blushed even more and drew closer to each other. Eventually, they became much closer. They closed their eyes and prepared for a kiss. they were only millimeters apart when they both opened their eyes and stopped. They then drew apart quickly in shock. Ash then stood up and helped Misty up. As they headed towards the next house, Mr.Kanekura peekedout of his window and smiled. ''Well by the looks of it, they seem to be perfect for each other!'', Mr.Kanekura said to himself. he smiled and walked away from the window.
However, Mr.Kanekura wasn't the only one watching Ash and Misty, for hiding in a forest, Team Rocket watched. ''Is it me, or did the twerps almost kiss?'', James asked. ''I do believe that cupid came a few months early!'', Jessie said cheerfully. ''Well even though I'm curious as to how dis ends, I say we forget aboud it and stick to da main plan of getting into the Proffesor's state!'', Meowth said. ''Now from what we heard earlier, theres a big party there!'', James said. ''Yes! Not only will we get food, but we can get Pokemon as well!'', Jessie said. Team Rocket then started to laugh to themselves.
-What evil will Team Rocket make, will Ash and Misty ever get together, and will they get enough candy? Find out on the next chapter. As for me, I am currently writing a christmas story, though you guys are going to get Thanksgiving story before that, besides, I write my stories out by hand, so it will be awhile!
