I do not own Pokémon or the song On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz

Here With Me

Ash sat on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the sea which was illuminated by the sunset. In his hands he was holding the half ribbon he and May won in Terracotta town contest. He moved his head up from the half ribbon, looked out at the sea and started to sing.

"Up on Melancholy Hill

There's a plastic tree

Are you here with me

Just looking out on the day of another dream

When you can't get what you want but you can get me

So let's head out to sea, love

'Cause you are my medicine

When you're close to me

When you're close to me."

He heard footsteps behind him but ignored them and continued to sing.

"So call in the submarines

Round the world we'll go

Does anybody know, love

If we're looking out on the day of another dream."

Whoever the footsteps belonged to that person was now right behind Ash.

"Hey." Brock said.

"Hey." The trainer replied.

"So what's with the singing?"

"It reminds me of what happened at the Sea Temple." He looked down at the half ribbon and back up at the sea. "Of May."

"If you can't get what you want

Then come with me"

"Up on Melancholy Hill

Sits Manaphy, love

Just looking out for the day

When you're close to me

When you're close to me"

"When you're close to me."

"I don't know what I'm going to do Brock."

"She's coming to watch you battle in the Sinnoh League. You could tell her then."

"But I still have two more badges to go. I don't know if I can wait that long knowing Drew's in Johto too."

"Listen Ash. You're just going to have to wait and trust that if she does love you, she'll love you enough not to get involved with other guys."

"(Sigh)I guess you're right."

"Well I'm going to start making supper so when you're ready there's food waiting for you."

"Thanks." The breeder then left, leaving Ash alone with his thoughts. "The next time I see you May, I'll tell you how I fell and hopefully you'll fell the same."

The end


Don't say anything about the lyrics. They are just what I believe they are, except for the part where he says Manaphy.

Please R&R and no Advanceshipping bashing.
