Chapter 1

Melody sat on the rocks, watching the ocean, thinking about the events that had just passed. How many people can say that they had saved the world from a terrible doom? Yes, Melody should have been one of the happiest young girls in the world, but something just was not right.

Today was the day that Ash Ketchum had to continue on his journey, leaving Shamouti Island and Melody behind, never to return. Melody could not bear to see him on this day, fearing that she would burst into tears at the thought of losing Ash, the so-called "Chosen One". Her chosen one. She remembered when he first got to the island and was greeted by the locals, all dressed as birds, calling him the chosen one after learning that he was a Pokemon trainer. Melody had just watched from above as the cute boy was showered with praise when she decided to make her entrance. She remembered how he blushed when she had kissed him and how great inside it had made her feel. Melody was smitten, there was no denying.

Just thinking about Ash was making her eyes start to water. The only thing that she could do was to continually play the song that had saved the world from Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres destroying it in a giant battle.

"I love that song," a voice from behind said. A pair of mysterious gloved hands were placed on Melody's shoulders.

Melody turned around to see Ash smiling, sitting behind her with his legs placed so that they fit perfectly outside of Melody's. Melody was about to lose it and tried to get up, so Ash wouldn't see her crying. Ash grabbed her before she could and hugged her from behind.

"No need to go," he said "You haven't said goodbye yet."

"G-goodbye," she snivelled.

"I'll miss you," Ash said, clueless that the girl in front of him was about to burst into tears.

Melody was taken aback and did not know how to respond to this. For the entire trip, Ash had treated her as nothing but another person that was with him, never being overly nice or mean to her, much to her chagrin. Everything she had done was in an attempt to be closer to Ash. At the Legend Festival, she had been all over Ash, literally, just to try to get him to notice her. When they were trapped on Lawrence III's ship in the cage, she ensured that she was next to Ash to get closer to him. Had he noticed? Or was this a hopeless thought Melody had created to soothe her racing mind?

Suddenly, Ash grabbed her head, pulling her in close for a passionate kiss, catching Melody off guard. At first, she pushed back, but Ash had a steady hold on her. She then realized that her dream was coming true and opened up to him. Their tongues clashed, wrestling for control of the other with neither backing down. Melody drew Ash in as well, making the moment all the more perfect.
