Unexpected love in pokemon

(In Orange Islands)

It was a normal day as Ash and his Co. were travelling on their schedule. Suddenly they stopped to catch a pokemon as Ash do not want to loose from Gary. He saw a lapres lying on the sea shore. When ash came there to catch it, Lapres uses water gun attack on Ash. But Pikachu came and she said, "I challenge you for a fight." . Then lapres said to her, "I except your challenge but you will not win". Then the fight begin. Pikachu used thunderbolt attack on him but he dodged it and used ice beam attack on her. To save her from the attack, Ash himself became the target of the beam. So Lapres won the match and gone back to the sea.

When Ash recovered from the attack, Pikachu asked, "pika pika pi (are you feeling ok)".

Ash replied, "I am ok, Pikachu". Although he had a pain in his back, he did not mentioned it.

Then Pikachu said, "pikachu pika pikachu (I will always be there with you for anything)".

Then Ash reveled, "Do you know what, for your kindness, gratitude, and respect for me as a friend, I love you pikachu"

"WHAT!, I can't able to believe in my ears" Misty and Brock, both growled. "You love a pokemon"

"Yes" he said

AT THE END, THEY BOTH LOOKED INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES AND PROMISSED NOT TO SEPERATE
