I do not own Pokemon
A couple of hours later Ash and Jesse were walking along the cave searching for an exit. Ash had sent Taillow out to see if it could find any light. It came back an hour later shaking its head. "Guess we'll have to make an exit. Pikachu use Iron Tail on the wall!" Ash commanded. Pikachu's tail glowed white. It jumped up and slammed it into a wall shattering it and creating a path. Surprisingly nothing broke or caved in. "Come on let's go." Ash said to Jesse as he walked forward.
Jesse just stared amazed at what she had just seen. "The twerp is smarter than I thought. Pikachu shattered that wall like it was nothing. It's no wonder why we can never steal it from him. He looks so cute when he is brave. Cute?! What am I thinking? How could I think about Ash I mean the twerp in that sort of way?"
Jesse quickly snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Ash way ahead of her. She ran after him to follow. A few hours later they stopped at a waterfall they discovered. They found it strange that a place called Fiery Path had water but they didn't complain. Ash had felt a breeze coming from the top. They felt tired and assumed it was getting late. They were planning on climbing the waterfall in the morning.
As they set up their stuff Jesse noticed something odd. Ash had let all of his Pokemon out and kept his Pokeball's on the ground. He was making no attempt to conceal his Pokemon from her at all. "Hey twerp why did you let your Pokemon out? Aren't you afraid I might steal them?" Jesse asked confused. Ash looked at her and slightly smiled. "No." he said simply. "No? Why not? We've been after you for years. You don't think I might steal them while you're asleep?" Jesse asked. "No I don't. For one you gave back Pikachu without a fight. Plus there is no way you would make it up that waterfall alone. Also you wouldn't be able to steal Pikachu without him shocking you which would be enhanced by the water." Ash explained setting up his sleeping bag.
Jesse didn't know what to feel. Ash was right. There was no way she would be able to steal any of his Pokemon alone. The thing that puzzled her was that he wasn't acting mean towards her in anyway. He sounded cheerful like when he is with his friends. Almost like he was happy to have her around.
There was a long silence for a while. Finally Ash spoke up. "Jesse I was wondering. Why did you give Pikachu back?" he asked. Jesse knew this was coming. "Well twerp the truth is….I'm not really sure. I guess I felt bad about attacking you directly and I sort of wanted to apologize." Jesse replied. "Well whatever the reason is I just wanted to thank you. I never really thought you and James were that bad. Deep down I had a feeling that you had some good in you. I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for bringing Pikachu back." Ash said turning over to go to sleep. "Twerp!" Jesse yelled. Ash looked over at her. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "You're welcome." she said smiling lightly. Jesse turned around and went to sleep. Ash just stared at her in shock.
The next morning they climbed the waterfall and got out of the cave. Outside were James, Meowth, May, Max, and Brock waiting for them. They went to their groups and decided to let each other go and battle another day. As they were leaving Jesse stopped May. "What do you want?" May asked coldly. "Meet me at this spot tonight. You don't bring your Pokemon I don't bring mine." Jesse walked off.
That night May went back to meet Jesse. She was unsure why but something told her she meant no harm. Jesse showed up alone with no Pokemon as promised. "What did you want to talk about?" May asked. "You like the twerp don't you?" Jesse asked. May blushed dark red. "Yeah so what?" she asked embarrassed. May knew that she couldn't deny her feeling for Ash. "Well…..I think I like him to." Jesse replied.
