Sick On a Starry Night

By: Toadettegirl2012

(8th fanfic in Holiday Fun Collection)

Summary: Ash becomes sick one night. Iris wants to help him feel better but doesn't know how. But the clear August night sky gives her an idea. 8th story in Holiday Fun Collection. Negiashipping fluffiness(Sorry for the bad summary)

The afternoon sun shone through the leaves of the forest trees making splotches of sunlight all over the forest path. Through the tree leaves the sinking sun painted the sky a nice orange color. The cool August wind blew, making the leaves rustle and making Iris's dark purple hair swish around her face.

Quickly the dragon loving girl brushed the lock of hair, that had become lose from her long ponytail, away from her face and took a deep breath and sighed, "Ahh…smell that fresh air, isn't lovely?"

The green haired connoisseur who walked a few paces ahead of her looked over his shoulder and nodded, "Yes, it is really nice out. The forest, the sunlight, ah everything come together like a wonderful autumn salad,"

"Yup an autumn salad," Iris rolls her eyes, having no idea what the connoisseur meant, "speaking of salad I'm hungry, aren't you Axew?"

"Ax axew ax!" responds her green dragon type as he pops out of her mass of violet hair

"Pika chu pika!" came the voice of the electric mouse, Iris turned to see Pikachu hop up onto her shoulder and rub his stomach as if to agree with her

Iris giggled, "Yeah something to eat would be good right about now," the purple haired girl glanced over her shoulder, "what about you Ash, are you hungry…"

But she lets her voice trail off when she notices something odd about her raven haired friend. He was trailing a few feet behind her, something Ash would rarely do, most times he was right in the front. His head was down, his black bangs covering his eyes and his arms were crossed over his chest…no there were more near his stomach.

Iris gave a worried look, "Your dragging behind a bit Ash," she called, this gained her friend's attention and he looked up his eyes still covered by his hair and mostly by the brim of his hat "Are you okay?"

Ash gave a small smile before responding in a soft voice, "Yeah, I'm fine,"

Iris arches an eyebrow, "A-Are you sure?" her friend gave a nod before looking back down at the ground again.

Pikachu gave a worried looking before hopping off Iris's shoulder and going back to Ash, "Pika pi chu?" the electric mouse asked as he climbed up on Ash's shoulder.

He didn't want to tell Pikachu he wasn't feeling very well, "Don't worry, buddy…I'm okay," Ash said, he didn't look up from the ground because he knew if he did Pikachu would see he was lying.

In fact ever since he started feeling sick raven haired boy had been lying, to himself that is. Ash had been feeling sick ever since he had got caught in a downpour of rain, after he had ignored the dark clouds and other signs of rain while he was training with his Pokémon. But not wanting to admit to himself, or anyone for that matter, he was feeling under the weather he had been lying to himself to not worry about anything. Just last night Ash convinced himself that the excess heat that he was feeling all over was just from being in the sun too long. That morning when Iris asked why he was acting so sluggish and why he only ate half his breakfast he told himself it would be best not to say anything. Ash didn't want to worry anyone. Throughout the day he had forced himself to believe that the nonstop throbbing pain in his head and the sudden chills was nothing and he shouldn't worry about it. But it was when the sharp nauseating pain started to settle in his stomach is when Ash started to have second thoughts about the little white lies he had been telling himself.

A sudden sharp pain hit his head, Ash squeezed his eyes closed, 'Ugh…my head,' Ash thought as the pain brought a wave of dizziness, 'm-maybe it wasn't s-such a good idea not to tell anyone about who crappy I'm feeling…ugh' blinking his eyes open Ash forced himself to move a bit faster, all the while gritting his teeth as he felt another pain hit his middle. His grip around his middle tightens slightly.

"Okay guys this looks like a good spot to stop for dinner," Cilan announced after the trio had walked a bit farther into the woods. The three friends now stood in an open clearing just big enough for them to enjoy a comfortable dinner.

"Great 'cause I'm starved!" Iris said with a smile, she reached over and let Axew out of her hair, "why don't you go play with Pikachu while dinner is getting set up?"

"Ax ax ew axew!" her Pokémon said in response, he scampered off to Ash, who was leaning against a nearby tree, but before Axew could open his mouth and ask Pikachu to play he stopped for a millisecond and glanced at the raven haired boy's face. For some odd reason his face seemed redder than it normally should be.

"Hey, Axew…something the matter?" Ash asked in a slightly tired voice.

Axew blinked before smiling, he remembered he wanted to play, "Ax axew ew axew!" he pointed at Pikachu, and then started jumped up and down waving his arms around and saying his name happily.

"Pika pi chu!" Pikachu said with excitement, he leaped off Ash's shoulder but before the electric mouse could go after his friend Pikachu glance over his shoulder at Ash, "pi…pika chu?"

Ash looked down at Pikachu, "Don't worry b-buddy…I'm-" he stop to cough, he forced himself to swallow down a groan as the cough made his head pound madly, "P-Pikachu I'm…f-fine.."

Pikachu gave a worried look, "Pika-"

"No…re-really I'm fine," Ash insisted forcing a small smile on his face, "y-you can go play…"

Pikachu's ears drooped, but Pikachu didn't have any time to protest when Axew came forward with ball in his hands.

"Ax axew ew!" Axew cried and threw the ball to Pikachu.

The electric mouse didn't hesitate to hit it back, Pikachu then smiled and rushed after the dragon type to go play.

Over in the middle of the clearing the green haired connoisseur had set up a table and had a few cooking materials out. He was scanning through a cookbook trying to deice what to make for dinner.

"Hey, Cilan do you need any help with dinner?" Iris asked as she pulled out a shiny red apple and took a bite from it.

"No, I think I can prepare dinner myself," Cilan answered he set the cookbook down, the book was open to the page with the recipe he would be using for that night's meal, "but I would appreciate it if you and Ash help get things set up for dinner,"

"Do we have to?" Iris asked as she swallowed the bit of apple in her mouth, the purple haired disliked the task of setting things up for dinner. It took such a long time to find the plates, the bowls for the Pokémon and everything else needed to eat.

"Now come on, Iris no matter how much you complain about it, the job isn't going to get done by itself," Cilan said taking out a pot, "besides with Ash's help you'll get done quicker,"

"Oh…okay," Iris said with a sigh, the girl took another bite of her apple as she headed towards the tree where her raven haired friend was sitting.

Ash had his knees close to his chest with his head resting on them. He watched Axew and Pikachu, who were not far away, playing catch with the yellow ball they had, but he couldn't stare at the two for long. Watching the two Pokémon hop around and the ball bounce back and forth made his head spin. Ash squeezed his eyes closed and groaned, 'Ugh…everything hurts,' he thought miserably, as his head pounded and he felt another sudden wave of heat hit him.

"Hey Ash,"

The raven haired boy blinked his heavy eyelids open, and despite how much his head was throbbing, looked up to see Iris approaching him. Quickly as he could, even though his tired body was screaming for him not to, Ash sat up with is back against the tree and forced a small smile on his face and quickly answered, "Um…y-yeah Iris?"

Swallowing the apple piece in her mouth, Iris said, "Cilan said we should help get the things set up for dinner,"

Ash groaned, not only because he disliked the task of setting things up for dinner as much as Iris did, but also because he felt a sharp pain in his stomach again, "D-Do we h-have to?" he groaned.

Iris took another bite from her apple in nodded, "Yeah, we have to," she said the best she could with her mouth full.

Seeing the apple his friend was holding made the pain in his stomach worsen Ash swallowed down another groan as he tightened his grip around his middle.

"Come on, Ash what are you waiting for?" Iris asked biting into her apple again, as she started to head back to where everyone had left their backpacks, "aren't you gonna help me?"

Ash didn't move from where he was sitting, "Um…I-Iris is it okay i-if you se-set things up…f-for dinner… without me?"

"What?!" Iris cried, but then started coughing as she almost choked on the apple piece that was still in her mouth, "I can't do it all by myself, it'll take forever!"

Ash cringed at the volume of Iris's voice; even though it wasn't very loud it still rattled the boy's head, "Iris…" he mumbled.

Iris made a face, "No way Ash! You're not weaseling your way out of helping me, like you did last time!" Iris reached down, grabbed her friend by the arm and started yanking him to his feet, "come on, get up Ash!"

Ash gritted his teeth as he resisted Iris's pulling, "Iris…s-stop p-please…" with each yank his purple haired friend would give him it felt like fireworks were exploding in his head and everything was spinning so wildly that he feared he would vomit or pass out right there on the spot.

After a few moments of this, Iris let go of her friends arm, "Ash you have to help me," she said as Ash slumped back against the tree in the same position he was in before.

"I-Iris," he murmured softly, as he looked up with his amber eyes, that looked foggy and tired, "I-I don't think…I c-can help…"

Iris narrowed her eyes, "And why not?" she asked taking the final bite of her apple.

Ash sat there for a moment, his head resting on his knees as he looked up at his dragon loving friend, he was really considering on telling her crappy he was feeling, but he quickly decided against that idea "J-Just…just because…but I-I'll do it all by myself…n-next time…I p-promise…"

The purple haired girl chewed and swallowed, she watched as Ash's eyes slowly slipped closed and she frowned slightly as she heard what sounded like…was it a groan? Iris stopped and looked at him for a long moment. Was it just her imagination or did her friend's face suddenly look really flushed? And was that really sweat she saw glistening on his forehead? And why did Ash suddenly seem so tired and sluggish?

'Now that I think about it, he's been acting like this all day…' Iris thought as concerned for Ash sunk into her mind.

"Ash are you feeling alright?" the sound of her friend's voice forced Ash's amber eyes opened

"Yeah…m'okay" he mumbled, before stifling a few coughs

"Are you positive?" Iris asked a worried look coming over her face, "you've been acting strange ever since yesterday and I'm worried there's something wrong-"

"N-No Iris I'm fine, p-positive," Ash lied cutting her off, he forced a smile on his face, and then flinched slightly and gripped his stomach as he felt another pain stab him, "uh…d-do you still n-need m-my help Iris?"

Iris hesitated for a moment, she sure didn't want to do the task Cilan had asked her to do by herself and even though she would prefer her friend's help something told her she should leave him be so she said, "N-No, it's okay, I'll do it myself,"

"Oka-Okay," Ash said, inwardly thanking Iris for that.

"I'll call you when dinner is all ready," Iris called over her shoulder as she ambled off; her friend response was a small nod.

"Cilan I think there's something wrong with Ash," Iris told her connoisseur friend as she set the table.

Cilan looked up from the bubbling pot he was stirring and glanced over to the tree where Ash was. The raven haired boy was now lying down in the tree's shade, his back facing them, Cilan frowned, "Now that you say that Iris, I think your right, he's been acting a bit strange ever since yesterday"

"Yeah I know" Iris said as she started to place the forks and knives on the table, "but when I asked him if he was alright, he just nodded,"

Cilan just shrugged, "He's probably just acting like that because he's hungry, and besides he didn't much breakfast this morning,"

Iris nodded, "Yeah that's probably it, Ash is just hungry,"

'My stomach…' Ash thought as he rested his head on the grass while he rested under the tree, the raven haired boy groaned and pulled his knees closer to his middle as he clutched his stomach harder and he gritted his teeth, 'ugh…I wish it would just stop hurting…uugghh,'

Ash felt another wave of heat hit him; he squeezed his eyes tighter when the heat was suddenly whisked away by a freezing cold chill, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

'Just try a-and ignore it…' Ash thought as he shivered and coughed.

Ash tried to endure the way he was feeling the best he could, but it didn't come easy. But somehow after a long time of lying there, suffering from his stomach ache, fever and throbbing head, Ash's achy feverish body started to drift off to sleep. He didn't get to sleep for too long though as a voice disturbed him.

"Ash! Dinner is ready!" it was Iris, and he was calling him for dinner, ugh dinner the thought of eating made his stomach hurt again.

Iris stood near the picnic table, her hand on her hip, she frowned slightly as she looked to where he friend was, "Didn't he hear me?" she asked herself when Ash didn't move from his spot under the tree.

"You better go get him," Cilan said as he started to put food on the plates, "the food might get cold,"

The purple haired girl nodded and then started for the tree. Ash cringed as he heard footsteps coming towards him.

'C-Can't I be left along…just for a little bit?' he thought miserably.

"Ash," Iris said as she stopped in front of her raven haired friend was laying, "come on Ash, don't you want to eat?" there was a mumlble from her friend, "don't be such a little kid Ash, get up already,"

She watched as Ash groaned and slowly rolled over onto his back. His amber eyes slowly peeked open, Ash blinked a few times, ignoring the throbbing he felt behind his eyes, as Iris's image blurred into view.

"Were you…sleeping?" Iris asked with an arched eyebrow.

Ash forced himself to it up, "No…I-I wasn't sleeping," he lied

"Are you sure?" the dragon loving girl asked, Ash nodded slowly as he did that she noticed him cringe slightly.

"I-I was just resting m-my…my eyes," Ash said, Iris narrowed her brown eyes at him, it was obvious that she wasn't buying that, the raven haired boy quickly go to his feet. Maybe a little bit too quickly.

Ash couldn't hold back the loud groan as the fast movement caused the world around him to spin crazily. And he couldn't resist the urge to grab his head with of hand and the tree next to him with the other to steady himself.

"Ash!" Iris cried as she grabbed his left shoulder, he looked up at her. Now that she was so close to Ash, Iris could now see how flushed his face was and how tired his amber eyes looked, "Ash you're not okay, what's the matter?"

Ash blinked, as he tried to make Iris's image stop fuzzing in and out, "….N-Nothing…ugh…"

Iris frowned as worry filled her; she looked over her shoulder, "Cilan, come quick something wrong with Ash!"

Ash moaned at how Iris's loud voice rattled his head, "I-Iris…n-nothing's wr-wrong-uuuggghhh" his stomach was hit with another stabbing pain, the raven haired boy doubled over slightly as he gripped his stomach as the pain intensified.

"What's the matter Ash?" Cilan asked as he approached his friends.

Ash didn't answer, he just groaned and kept his eyes locked on Iris's white and pink shoes and was silently begging for them to stop spinning in nauseating circles.

"Ash didn't you hear Cilan?" Iris asked as she placed her other hand on Ash's right shoulder to support him when his hand limply slipped from the tree, "what's the matter?"

Ash couldn't answer as he felt a wave of nausea overwhelm him, he groaned as he felt his stomach churn.

Cilan reach out and rested his hand on Ash's forehead, "Ash, your burning up!"

Ash gripped his stomach as he felt something warm and slimy slither up his throat. He tried to swallow it back down, but he just couldn't.

"Are you feeling sick or something?" Cilan asked

Then, as if to answer, Ash puked. He puked with a loud gagging sound. The sound of throw up hitting the ground sounded repulsive but it wasn't the only sound as it was quickly followed by a loud scream from Iris. Ash had vomited and his stomach contents landed all over her shoes!

"AHHHH!" Iris screamed as she flawed her arms around in horror, "MY SHOES! EWEWEWEWEW! AGHHHH, IT'S ALL WARM AND GROSS, UGH GETTING IN MY SHOES! EWEWEWEWEWEW! UGH, ASH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!"

Her only response was a groan from Ash, before his eye widen and he dashed behind the tree and emptied his stomach, with a loud gagging sound.

Cilan sweatdropped, "Uh…well I guess that answers that question then…"

Iris shuddered as she felt the slimy warm vomit seep down into her shoes and ooze all over her toes. Purple amine lines appeared on her face, "Cilan, h-help Ash okay?" she said trying to keep her voice steady and calm as she tried her hardest not to freak out.

Oh poor Iris! She's going to have to go shopping for some new shoes because I'm pretty sure those are ruined! Anyway I deiced to split this into two chapters, I 'll post the next part when I have time!

So for now
