Dear Darlings,

My names Ash, or to you guys I guess I'll be your dad... Woah, that feels so weird to write! I never really thought that one day I'd be writing letters to you guys... Not that you exist, yet anyway... I just thought now that I'm getting older it would be cool sharing all the stories of my journeys with you guys!

Well, anyway, today I ran into my old friend I suppose you could say, Gary Oak. As usual he was with yet another girl, not that I care. It's what he said that made me care...

Basically what happened was after I returned from Unova and got ready to head to Kalos, I met up with a few old friends like Brock and Misty. They both got on really well with Cilan and Iris which was cool, everything was going great until Gary showed up.

First of all, he kept calling Misty 'Red'. She thought it was because of her hair colour and got really mad at Gary and hit him a few times and got really embarrassed and blushed a lot which I think is actually quite cute... Um, anyway... About the Red thing, I know the reason why Gary kept calling her it and it was pretty stupid if you asked me.

Back when we were kids Gary and I used to do this thing that I was Red and he was Blue, so he teases Misty about being Red because he thinks we like each other, I mean come on! And Iris thinks that I'm the kid?

I guess Mist is kinda pretty, her eyes are a really cool green that goes into blue and her hair is all fiery which is good because it suits her personality... Eheh, don't tell her I said that...

Seriously though, Misty doesn't like me like that. Gary just likes going out of his way to annoy the both of us, he's such a jerk sometimes then at others he's actually an okay guy; especially since we put all the rivalry behind us.

Well, anyway, when he stopped with the whole Red thing, he kept going on about how great he is and how many girls he can get. What's so great about that? And let's not forget how he said I couldn't even get one girl... Not that I want any. Well, maybe...

I guess I might like Misty but I'm still pretty sure she doesn't like me like that... I guess I'll just have to find out... But I don't wanna ruin our friendship... Man, this is hard! I wonder if any of you guys will have an ass of a friend like Gary, or a best friend you might like a lot the way I do with Misty...

Around her I always feel funny and we both blush a lot... Maybe there is a chance she likes me back, I'm not sure. Everyone says I'm dense but that's not exactly true, it's just easier playing dumb. I'm not so dense I don't know about how I feel for someone, jeez.

Like I said, I guess we'll just have to fine out! Not today though, pretty sure she's still beating Gary up... Heh...
