Pokemon – Seasides and Sunsets.
The sea lapped softly at the wooden poles that support the boardwalk over the water. Ash stood, the breeze ruffling the black bangs of his hair, he felt relaxed. Pikachu was hanging from his backpack, watching the small waves break over the shoreline.
"Cha," he said softly and Ash smiled. "We'll go soon, don't worry."
Ash had changed from his normal clothes of jeans a jacket and a hat and was wearing a button-up white shirt and formal black pants. They had been invited to a party held for the top 16 of the Hoenn league and Brock was all to willing that Ash should accept.
"Hey Ash! Are you coming? Don't want to be late!" Brock yelled from somewhere behind him. Ash grinned but did not turn around. It didn't matter to him if he was late, as long as...
"Pika!" Pikachu chattered from his shoulder.
"You go ahead with Brock. I won't be far behind." Ash said softly. Pikachu jumped from his shoulder and landed next to Ash's feet, cat-like. Ash bent down and petted Pikachu's head. Pikachu looked up at him with an excited expression, "Go." Ash laughed as Pikachu nodded, smiled and then turned to run up to Brock.
Ash turned to wave to Brock, to signal him to go ahead. Brock looked as though he was about to ask why but Ash headed him if with a raised hand, to signal he was not about to answer questions. Brock nodded, although looking confused and looked down at Pikachu.
"Come on Pikachu, let's go Par-tay!" Brock pointed ahead. "PIKA!" Pikachu agreed excitedly before they both left at a quick pace, leaving Ash alone. Ash gazed back out over the ocean. The salty breeze calming his nerves, why he was nervous he wasn't sure but he knew he was excited. And it wasn't the prospect of the Party.
"You waiting for someone?" A soft, feminie voice carried to him from his left.
A twinge of nervous-excitement swallowed his senses momentarily, he took a deep breath and turned to face the source of the voice.
Before him was a slender girl dressed in a navy blue dress that ended just above her knees and hugged her figure. Straight, medium length Red hair fell into her ocean eyes. She smiled weakly he pale lips parting slightly to expose small white teeth.
"Misty," Ash said taken by her beauty. "You look..." He couldn't find the words to describe exactly how beautiful she looked. She stuttered weakly as she stepped closer to him.
"I straightened my hair especially for tonight, do you like it?" Misty asked uncertainly, looking slightly flustered and embarrassed.
Ash did not answer straight away, he moved closer, spreading his arms and embracing her. She looked surprised at first but then she imitated him and brought her body even closer to his. There faces just inches apart, Ash could fell her warm breath brushing his own lips. He tilted his head slightly and slowly moved closer to her own, she smiled and tilted her head in the opposite direction, their noses brushed.
Ash's lips found Misty's own soft lips just as the sun let it's last rays of light fade out over the sparkling ocean of diamonds.
