Right hey guys New fic, hope you enjoy it, review but no flames please!

Gary ran a hand through his hair. This pokemon was really not being co-operative. "C'mon ditto, please?" The translucent lilac pokemon turned its head towards him. "Ditto?" The pokemon squeaked. The young pokemon researcher sighed. It was really not his day. First of all gramps informed him that he had to attend a 'party' with Ketchem and his loser friends. Well, the part about Ash was okay, it was his friends, especially that redhead,what was her name? Mika? Michelle? Missy? Eh who cared. The main thing was he got to spend whole day with Ashey. Because Gary Oak's biggest secret was that he was in love with Ash Ketchum, and had been ever since he was 8.

Then he was sent to train this blimmin' Ditto! He sighed again. "Let's try this again. Now, Ditto, transform into this Paras please?" The lilac pokemon squeaked again. It's body glowed intensely for a moment then stopped. Gary sighed again. "Boy you're like a sighing machine huh Gare-bear? " That voice...it was as familiar as the back of his hand. "So, little Ashy-boy is avoiding training huh? You'll never reach the top that way" Gary replied coolly, without having to turn around. He could almost hear Ash rolling his eyes. " You know, for 15 years old you aren't as dedicated as me" Ash sighed at Gary's criticism, unlike a few years ago when his ten year old self would have thrown a fit. "You know I'm 16 in less than three hours Gary" What?! Gary bolted upright. "What?" Gary frowned, turning to face him. It was Ash's birthday? Was that what the party was for? "Um, yeah." Ash shifted nervously. "It's my birthday, June the 7th remember? " Crap! Christ how had he forgotten that?! "Uh, yeah yeah of course!" Ash raised an eyebrow, onyx black and perfectly arched. "Gary...when was the last time you slept?" Good question...yesterday? No, before that... "Um nearly a week ago" Gary rubbed his eyes, suddenly feeling exhausted. "Seven days?! Gary What were you thinking? You need to get yourself to bed before you collapse from exhaustion!"

No...I have to finish this for gramps... yet when Ash tugged on his hand Gary found himself placing the annoying Ditto back into its pen. "You know I once met someone with a Ditto that couldn't change its face, and someone else with one that couldn't change size. Maybe Ditto aren't very good at transforming without any experience?" Ash mused as he remembered his travels. "That's a good point Ashey-boy. I'm meant to be the researcher, why didn't I think of that?" Gary hung his head ashamed he knew less than Ash. "Well, maybe because I've met people like Duplica who want to be Ditto trainers? Whereas all your experiences of Ditto is information from your Pokedex." Another good point...but I didn't need to experience love to know I was infatuated with Ash. "Come on Gary, you need to sleep before the party." But I want to spend time with Ash..."But Ashhhh..." Gary whined. Ash sighed. "Gary you're meant to be the older more mature one so stop whining and get some sleep" Ash grinned. "After all you need to be awake for my party, it'll be no fun if you doze off" Gary felt himself smile. "Alright Ashey, I'll see you in two hours okay?" Gary headed towards his room. "Night Gary!" Ash called to him before hopping over the hedge onto the path.

So thats chapter one guys next up will be the party :) or at least setting up , probably from Ash's pov.
