I'm back with another update! Yay!

WOW. That's all I got to say. I'm completely speechless, like Misty. I had no idea this story was going to have so many people reading! I never knew that a lot of people would like it too, so I'd like to say thanks to all the people who favorited, reviewed, and alerted. They mean a lot, so thank you.

Super asian 265 - Thank you! And sure.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I only own the fern and my ideas.

Sometime during the day, Ash drifted off to sleep to the soothing melody of the leaves' swaying. Early the next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed and brand new. A chill ran through his body as he tugged his sheets off his body lazily. Standing up to stretch, his mind immediately went to the fern. His head snapped over to where the fern laid. From the corner of his eye, he could see a little speck of yellow among one of the leaves. It was a little dried at the tip with a little blend of yellow. Ash screamed.

He quickly swooped the fern into his arms and made his way into the bathroom. With a empty cup in one of his trembling hands, he filled it up with clear water. Once it was filled approximently three-quarters of the way, Ash positioned his hand over the fern's pot and poured. Water dripped down from the container and most of the water splattered off the leaves, leaving little water touching the dry dirt below. A good amount of water hit the surface of the dirt and dampened it a bit. Ash cleaned up his mess quickly with a towel and threw it aside. He picked up Ferny and hugged it closer to him, muttering out apologies and how he would take better care of it next time.

After that, he rushed out of the bathroom and shut the door behind him. He quickly put on a nice black jacket and sprinted out the door in a flash. Before he left the house, he murmered his goodbyes to his mom and left the house with a wet fern in his hand. He gripped it tightly around his arms and kept it close. He slowed down a bit when he reached the corner and raised the fern's pot in front of his face. Imagining it was a real human, he said, "Well Ferny, where do you want to go for our first date?"

Ash waited a few moments for Ferny's reply but nothing came. The weather calmed down today with no wind around. It wasn't really sunny either as most of the clouds in the sky were blocking sunlight from hitting the Earth's surface. He waited a couple more minutes for the reply of the fern but being the non-speakable item it is, it made no movement or signs whatsoever.

Impatiently waiting, Ash finally ran out of patience. "Alright, let's go to the Floral Resturant at the edge of town!" he yelled enthusiastially, implying that Ferny said something or an answer of some sort. He practically skipped off towards the resturant.

Upon his arrival at the resturant, he smiled cheerfully and felt his heart filled with joy as he came closer and closer. He pulled the door open with his free hand and admired the surroundings of green, trees, and plants. This was his first time here, so as curious as he was, he took his time observing everything that his eyes set upon. His eyes trailed on a sign that read: The BEST place to bring your fern dates!

Ash's smile widened and sat down in an avaliable seat for two. He situated himself comfortably before setting the fern's pot onto the chair opposite from him. "So, what do you want to order?"

Once more, he recieved nothing for a reply. "Alright, I'll order the salad- wait, no that'll be eating your own kind. Mmm, how about I order two cheeseburgers without the salad and pickle?" he finally suggested.

The fern moved sideways a bit when the door swung open, but Ash did not need to know that. "Okay! The two cheeseburgers it is!"

He waited until a waiter came to take his order. When one finally came, he was heard muttering something that sounded like, "A normal person wouldn't bring their fern here and try talking to it." But of course, Ash wasn't paying attention. He was too busy thinking about his fern and how they were going to spend the rest of their day.

Their food arrived and the waiter placed one plate in front of Ash and hesitantly put a plate in front of Ferny. He then walked away awkwardly. Ash gave the fern a goofy grin before devouring his food hungrily. Ferny just "stared" at its food without a single movement or no indication of wanting anything special other than water to reach downward toward its roots.

In just a few moments, Ash finished his burger and looked at Ferny admiringly. "Ah, that was delicious! What did you think-" he stopped midsentence when he realized that Ferny hadn't touched its food yet. "Why didn't you eat it?"

No response was recieved as the green, leafy plant stayed quiet and silent. Ash felt saddened by the thought that Ferny didn't bother to eat during their "date" here. He picked up Ferny and went off to pay. He decided that since Ferny might not like their lunch date, he decided to take Ferny to the Grass Garden down the street where there were more of the fern's "kind" and "species" around.

Please review! Also, the next chapter is about Misty, so keep an eye out for that. For now, see you guys soon! I'm thinking of adding another twist; I'm not sure. Anyways, I don't know why I started thinking about burgers; I think I'm craving them or something.

Sincerely,

Lily & Ferny!
