Chapter 3: Stuck
When the wind finally settled down and everything was clear, Dragonite sat up and rubbed his head, (Ugh...those stupid Combee and Vespiqueen,) he muttered to himself, quickly flapping his wings the dragon type got to his feet. He looked around at is surrounding for a moment before he spotted his trainer to the left of him. Iris was lying on her back, with most of her purple hair covering her face. Dragonite started over, he opened his mouth to utter his trainer's name, but he didn't get to when he heard.
"I-Iris! Are you okay!" the voice belonged to the raven haired boy, Dragonite's green eyes watched as Ash hurried over to Iris's side.
"Oh man, oh man, Iris are you okay?" he asked again, Ash knelt down beside the Tree Fairy, he opened his mouth to call her name again, but he found himself only being able to sit there and stare at her beautiful face.
A few locks of her shiny violet hair had gotten lose from long ponytail and was now lingering over her face, covering her left eye. He felt himself blush as he reached out, his hands shaking slightly,as he slowly brushed her soft dark purple hair away from her lovely face.
Dragonite clenched his teeth (Hey what do you think you're doing to Iris?)
The sudden sound of the dragon type's voice made the boy jump, but then Ash just frowned a bit seeing that it was just Dragonite, "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm just fixing her hair," he reached down to continue brushing the violet locks from the girl's face when a faint moan could be heard. Ash felt his face flare with blush as Iris's large dark brown eyes blinked open, and started directly at him
"A-Ash what are you doing?" Iris asked Zigzag face's fingers hovered a few inches from her face.
Ash sat up straight and he swetadropped his cheeks turning a bit red, "I...I uh...um I was just-"
(He was just "fixing your hair" Iris) Dragonite informed, Ash glared at the orange Pokémon.
Iris laughed a bit, "Oh, that's sweet of you, Ash," she could feel her face heat up.
Dragonite stood there watching the two blush at each other, he snorted and rolled his eyes, (We should better head back to camp, Cilan and the others are waiting for us)
Iris pulled her eyes from looking at Ash, "Oh, yeah your probably right," she started to get to get to her feet but suddenly Zigzag face's hand shot out.
"H-here, Iris let me help," Ash blurted out, without thinking, he could feel his hand start to shake as he thought Iris would just decide to stand on her own, but to his surprise she accepted his offer. Slowly reaching up, Iris clasped her hand with Ash's.
"Oh...t-thanks Ash," Iris said as she clasped her right hand with his left, she smiled Zigzag face pulled her to feet, glancing up at him she could see his face was a bit red but he still manage to give a quick grin as if to say you're welcome.
As they started walking back towards camp Dragonite trailed behind the two trainers watching, the two still holding hands, the orange dragon type rolled his eyes.
(All he did was help Iris up, I don't see why they still have to hold hands,) Dragonite thought seeing that his trainer's hand was clasped to the raven haired boy's, he could see redness on Iris's cheeks as Ash rambled on about...something, whatever it was it ended up making the purple haired girl laugh.
(Hey, what were you two doing in the woods anyway?) Dragonite asked, even though he already knew they were out looking for something to snack on.
Iris looked over her shoulder at her dragon type Pokémon, who had his arms crossed and seemed to be glaring at the back of Ash's head, "Um, we were just out here, y-you know to…h-hang out…"
"Oh, and to find food," Ash added also, before licking fingers were a bit of honey still was.
Iris laughed, "Ash your such a little kid," she reached and swiped some honey that sat on the back of his hand and licked it from her finger, "mmm, it's delicious,"
"Then how come you didn't want any when I asked if you wanted some earlier?" Ash asked playfully.
Iris rolled her eyes, "Because it was all over your fingers and it was all gross!"
Ash laughed "But come on Iris you said it yourself, the Combee honey taste great-"
(How did that Vespiquen start attacking you in the first place?) Dragonite interrupted.
Ash turned and blinked at Dragonite, but Iris quickly answered, "Oh, it was just that Ash was hungry and started eating Vespiquen's honey," she poked the raven haired boy on the head, "that's when Vespiquen got mad and starting attacking,"
(So it was all Ash's fault?) Dragonite asked with an arch eyebrow
Ash rubbed the back of his head, "Uh, well kinda I-"
(Anyway, you know all those Vespiqueen and Combee I could have taken them all out in one sweep) Dragonite said interrupting the raven haired boy with a smirk, but then frowned slightly when he heard the raven haired boy snicker.
"Dragonite, you shouldn't be too over confident, you were way out numbered" Ash remarked looking over his shoulder.
"W-Well, he might have been able to do it Ash, you never know," Iris stated.
Ash shook his head, "Nah, I doubt it, no matter how strong you are Dragonite, there's was no way in the world you'd be able to take down that many Combee and five angry Vesipqueens,"
(What makes you say that?) Dragonite inquired
Ash shrugged, "It just wouldn't be possible, I mean it be reckless to go in there and try to fight a battle that you know you can't win-"
(Well what's that supposed to mean?) Dragonite grunted, there was a bit of silence and the orange dragon type wasn't expecting an answer but to his surprise the raven haired boy said:
"It's nothing personal Dragonite, I'm just saying you'd get wiped out by those bug type Pokémon and...you know someone like, Ir-Iris, would of ended up getting hurt,"
"A-Ash," Iris said in a quiet voice, the one she used when she was embarrassed, "you didn't have to worry about me...I would have been perfectly safe-"
(Yeah, the only reason you're safe, Iris is because of me and my Flamethrower! Without it you would have been injured by that Silver Wind) Dragonite stated giving a confident smile.
Ash looked back at the Pokémon and arched an eyebrow, he had a feeling Dragonite was trying to...what is the word...out do him?
"I could have protected Iris to, you know," Ash said giving an equally confident smile.
Iris could see something was starting to go on between her raven haired friend and her strong orange dragon type Pokémon, "Um, guys you both kinda made sure I was safe-"
(How could you've protected Iris?) Dragonite interrupted, (you can't use moves like a Pokémon!)
Iris could see Zigzag face make a face, "I don't need to know how use Moves, I could have used on my own Pokémon to battle those Vespiqueen and Combee!"
The purple haired laughed a bit, "But Ash all your Pokémon are back at camp at Cilan, remember?"
Ash stopped for a second only to see Dragonite once again smirking, he gritted his teeth slightly, "Iris," he murmured under her breath purple anime lines appearing on his face, Iris just giggled. Dragonite smirked.
"Uh, so what if I didn't have any Pokémon!" he said before giving a grin, " I would of shielded Iris with my own body if I had to, just like when I took that Shadow Ball for her," he turned to the Tree Fairy and winked, "remember that Iris?"
Iris felt the warm sensation rush to her cheeks, "Yeah I remember that, and it was really sweet of you Ash but I-"
(Pffth, this just prove how much of a little kid you are Ash,) Dragonite muttered, rolling his pale green eyes.
"What was that?!" Ash asked a bit of anger gleaming in his eyes. Iris knew how Ash felt about being called a little kid, sure it was okay when she called him a little kid, but she was certain that no one else could call him that.
(You heard me, you're a little kid Ash, the way you always rush into things without thinking, it just proves how naive you are, it's just plain annoying,) Dragonite huffed.
An anime vein popped out on Ash's head; "I mean I wasn't just going to sit there and let her get hurt!" he shot back.
The large orange Pokémon crossed his arms (I never said that you would, but it's almost as if you don't even think or listen to what other people say-)
"LISTEN?! What do you mean I don't listen?!" Ash shot back, "I mean for Mew's sake you don't even listen to your trainer even when she know what's best for you!" at that comment Iris could hear Dragonite growl and bear his teeth.
The purple haired girl sweatdropped, she was starting to grow uncomfortable "Um, guys you don't have to shout-"
Not having heard the Tree Fairy Ash shouted "If you would have listened to me when I was planning for us to run away from those Vesipquen and Combee we wouldn't have been blown away by that Whirlwind!"
Dragonite glared at the boy, (Why should I listen to you? You're the one who was stuffing his face with honey and got attacked in the first place!)
"Well I-" Ash started but only found himself with his mouth hanging open.
Dragonite smirked knowing that he had beaten the boy at his own game. Seeing that he had nothing to say back Ash gave an angry glare, but the Pokémon just scoffed and turned away.
Ash frowned and decided to look at the ground instead and the three walked on in silence. Iris glanced at Dragonite then at Zigzag face, only to have an uncomfortable feeling bubble in her stomach, but she sighed and brushed it off.
'Those two are both such little kids…but they're going to have to get along at some point, especially if Ash and I like each other,' she let out a sigh, 'oh well they'll warm up to each other eventually,'
"Cilan!" Iris cried as they entered camp grounds, "were back!"
Cilan looked up from fixing the picnic table, he smiled slightly as he saw his two friends holding hands, 'Looks like their little "hang out" session went well,' but the connoisseur then arched an eyebrow when he noticed the unhappy looks on Ash's and Dragonite's faces.
"Uh…what's the matter with those two? " Cilan asked as Iris approached with Ash at her side.
The dragon trainer sweatdropped, as her orange dragon type went back to the shade of the tree muttering to himself, while Ash started at the ground his eyebrows knitted together, "Um…l-let's just say we ran into a bit of a problem out there an uh-"
(Finally you guys are back!) Pikachu exclaimed hopping up onto the picnic table, (now we can chow down on some lunch!)
Axew hopped up beside his electric mouse friend, (Yea! Lunch time!)
This caused all the Pokémon to happily cheer.
"That's right lunch is ready, come and get it everyone! Single file line please and no pushing as you get your food," Cilan said starting to fill bowls with food and putting the uneasy look on Iris's face in the back of his mind.
'It was weird how Ash and Dragonite were fighting earlier,' Iris thought to herself, '…I never seen either of them try so hard to win an argument before,' she laughed quietly to herself as watched Dragonite, who was standing in line with the rest of the Pokémon for food, flick his tail slightly each time Axew, who stood behind him, kept trying to pounce on, 'it was as if Ash and Dragonite were both trying to get my attention…what was going on with those two I just can't seem to figure it out…'
"Alright guys time for us to eat," Cilan said filling their plates once all the Pokémon were served.
"Awesome 'cause I'm starved!" Ash exclaimed coming over to the table, Iris trailing behind him
"What a little kid," Iris commented, "how can you still be hungry Ash? You ate a whole bunch of food for breakfast and then you just had a snack earlier!" she nudged him to remind him of the honey he had eaten in the woods
Cilan chuckled, "Well you can always count on Ash to be hungry, which means none my food ever goes to waste,"
"Yeah but that always means there isn't any leftovers either!" Iris said jokingly
Ash sweatdropped slightly, "Alright, I get it," he said, "but let's not worry about that now, let's eat!"
Cilan placed Ash's plate of food on one side of the table and Iris's plate right across from Ash's.
"Thanks Cilan," his friends said happily.
Iris licked her lips, "Great, time to eat-AHHH!" Iris stumbled slightly as she felt a large added weight to her body when she tried to move to her seat.
"Um, Iris…you can let go of my hand now," the Unova girl looked over her shoulder to see that she was still holding Ash's, "er, I-I mean you don't have to let go if you don't want to…i-it's your choice" Zigzag face stammered his cheeks turning as red as a Cherri berry.
Iris felt her stomach flutter as she looked into his amber eyes that always memorized her. But out of the corner of her eye she could see Cilan watching them with that look in green eyes, the look he always go when he was about to call them lovebirds or something, and most of their Pokémon had looked up from eating and were staring and snickering at the sight of their trainers.
Iris felt her face burn before looking back at Ash, "Um, yeah good idea…i-it would be pretty hard to eat if we're holding hands,"
Ash laughed his goofy laugh, "Yeah good idea, Iris, I'll let go" he responded to the Tree Fairy
"No i-it's fine, Ash, I'll let go," she quickly said
"Nah it's okay I'll let go,"
"Really it's okay I'll let go first"
"I-I'll just you know-"
"Ahem, are the two lovebirds having a bit of trouble there," Cilan asked looking at his two blushing friends.
"CILAN!" Iris and Ash snapped at their connoisseur friend who only chuckled.
Turning away from the Tree Fairy and Cilan Ash took a step toward his seat only to be tugged back on by an equal force halting him. Ash frowned before trying again his eyes locked on his plate of food, but when the hungry boy took a step:
"Ahhh!" he cried as he stumbled backwards and slammed his back into Iris's.
"Ash!" the Tree Fairy said as she looked back at him, "I thought you said you were letting go,"
Ash blinked, "Bu-But, I did let go,"
"No you didn't" Iris responded, "but I know I let go,"
"Guys, stop messing around, and let go of each other's hands," Cilan said, "your food's going to get cold,"
"But Cilan we're not messing around" Iris said tugging to pull her hands from Ash's
"Yeah, t-there's I think there's like something wrong with our hands" Ash said stumbling as Iris pulled.
Cilan looked up from his food "What do you mean there's something wrong?"
Iris glared at the connoisseur as she pulled harder "I mean…ugh I can't pull my hand away! HEY!" Ash pulled back causing her to trip forward.
"Yeah Cilan I can't pull my hand away either!" Ash said yanking his arm.
"Stop, Ash!" Iris said giggling slightly, "you're gonna make me fall!"
After the two tugged back and forth, and falling a few times and blushing, Cilan deiced to take a look at his friend's hands.
"Well what do we have here?" Cilan asked, looking perplexed at his friends hands
"What is it Cilan?" Iris asked
"Yeah do you see anything?" Ash added
"Well I see something but," he straighten up, "to be honest, I have no idea what it is,"
"You don't know what, what is?" Ash asked rolling his eyes.
"The stuff all over your hands, that's what!" the connoisseur pointed out.
Both trainers looked only to notice the golden substance and the white silk like stuff covering their hands, which were still clasped into a hand hold.
(Smells like Combee honey to me,) Pikachu said who had leaped up on Ash's lap and was sniffing at the golden substance.
(And the white stuff is that…String Shot?) Axew asked curiously poking at the white strains that were wrapped around their hands
Both trainer's looked nervously at each other.
"Oh, no," Iris mutters
"What's the matter?" Cilan asked, but then frowned, "guys please don't tell me that really is…" but he let his voice trail off as his friends' sweatdropped and gave sheepish smiles.
Axew started to giggle (You two are so silly; everyone knows you're supposed to eat honey it's not supposed to be all over your hands!)
(Ever since these two lovebirds became lovebirds everything they do is retarded,) Pikachu remarked under his breath
"Pikachu," Ash said giving the electric mouse a look, both Pokémon shrugged before scampering off back to their friends to finish eating
The connoisseur sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright, I think you two I think you might of gotten yourself into a bit of trouble, because right now we have a problem,"
"Problem?" Ash asked as Iris tried to pull away again
"What kind of problem?" Iris added and then sighed seeing that her efforts where fruitless
"Well," Cilan pulled out a magnifying glass, "Combee honey and String Shot are two very sticky substances," he paused as if he was trying to find a way to word his next statement correctly, "um…to make a long story short, guys I think you may be stuck,"
"What!? What do you mean we're stuck!?" both his friends yelled jumping to their feet and in the process almost making each other fall
"Um…I mean y-you guys maybe stuck together, I mean what more do you want me to say?," Cilan said sweatdropping and nervously placing his magnifying glass away
"What are we going to do?" Ash asked holding their hands up, "we can't just stay like this?!"
"Ash is right, Cilan you have to find a way to fix this!" Iris added
"Alright, alright, both of you just calm down," Cilan said taking a breath as both of his annoyed and worried traveling companions sat back down, "before I can attempt to do anything about your hands, someone has to tell me how this happed in the first place,"
Iris glanced over at Zigzag face her eyebrow arched, seeing how the Tree Fairy looked at him, Ash sweatdropped, "Er… um well you see…I-I uh…um…l-let's just say it's a long story-"
(No it's not,) Dragonite said who was still sitting the shade of the tree and had been listing the whole time; he had a small smirk on his face.
Iris cringed, she didn't want those two bickering again, "Dragonite you don't have to-"
(The honey's from Ash who was stuffing his face with it when we were in the woods) Dragonite huffed
"Hey no one asked you!" Ash snapped, "Besides you weren't even supposed to be following Iris and I in the woods anyway!"
Cilan blinked, this was very unlike his raven haired friend, he'd wasn't the type to yell at Pokémon, even if they weren't his. Out of the corner of his eye the connoisseur could see Iris biting her lip.
"Um Ash, Dragonite-" she started quietly
(Don't give me that, if it wasn't for me you and Iris would have been toast by that angry Vespiquen!) Dragonite growled back, but now all the Pokémon looked up from chatting and eating to see what all the commotion was about.
Iris tried again, "Guys, you really don't have-"
"I said it before, we didn't need your help, I would have kept Iris perfectly safe, so we didn't need your help." Ash practically shouted back a tinge of anger in his voice, "your just tubby Pokémon," he added under his breath
"Tubby?" Dragonite asked, having heard Ash's last comment, "who are you calling tubby?!"
"Guys really that's enough, you can stop-"
Iris was once again cut off (I'm and not, tubby!) Dragonite said getting to his feet
Cilan could see Iris was starting to get upset.
"Yes you are and you know it!" Ash said, even though he was rather intimidated at Dragonite size and power.
Anger flashed in the girl's brown eyes
(I advise that you don't say that again) Dragonite growled, teeth clenched, ('cause if you do I'll make sure that-)
"ALRIGHT BOTH OF YOU JUST STOP IT!" Iris yelled leaping to her feet, taking Ash with her. The purple haired girl looked at Ash then to her Dragonite giving them both a stern look, "What in Arcus name is wrong with you with you two?!"
Neither of them answered, they were both rather shocked at Iris's reaction, even the Pokémon were a bit shocked.
"Why do you keep pestering Ash, Dragonite?" the dragon loving trainer asked her Pokemon
(Wha?! Hey why are you pinning all this on me?) Dragonite asked, but wished he hadn't, he could see the slight anger in Iris's eyes, it made him feel uneasy inside, (it's all Ash's fault anyway-)
"I don't care who started it, I just want this to stop!" Iris said her hands slightly clenched
Ash snorted, "Well I would be able to stop if Dragonite would stop butting into our business-"
"Ash you stop to, it's not just Dragonite's fault it's yours to!" Iris snapped turning her gaze to him. Ash flinched the look she gave him was…cold…really cold almost scary, and he didn't like it one bit
(TG2012: ha a cold stare, that's kinda of an oxymoron when a cold stare is coming from Iris…sorry didn't mean to interrupt back to the story)
"But this arguing thing isn't my fault," Ash protested to the Tree Fairy, "it's his!"
(Is not!)
"Is to!"
(Is not!)
"Is-"
"UGH! YOU"RE BOTH ARE SUCH LITTLE KIDS!" Iris cried, then turned an irked look to both of them who seemed to ready to start fighting again "no, you know what I'm done with this," the purple haired girl reached into her pocket and pulled out a mini pokeball, quickly she enlarged the red and white sphere, "the only way to stop this pointless bickering is to separate both of you, and since I can't really do anything about Ash, Dragonite I think it's time for you to return,"
(But, Dragonite didn't get to have dessert yet!) Axew said rushing up to his trainer and hugged her ankle. Iris gave a spathic smile at her green dragon Pokémon, she knew Axew looked up to Dragonite a lot and thought of the powerful orange Pokémon as a big brother, seeing that Draognite was getting in trouble seemed to make Axew sad.
"Axew," Iris sighed, 'today I don't think Dragonite needs dessert," she held out he pokeball, "Dragonite return,"
Dragontie glared at the raven haired boy, anger bubbled inside him, "Why do I have to return I-"
"Dragonite not now just…just return!" Iris squeezed the pokeball and the red light cut through the air and zapped the dragon type Pokémon into the orb. The pokeball wiggled a bit as if Dragontie was trying to get back out, but Iris looked at the sphere the irked look still in her eye, it quickly stopped shaking and became still.
Silence hung in the air for a moment.
'Wow…I knew Iris had a bit of a short temper…but I didn't think she would get that mad,' Ash thought, but as he thought that thought a sinking feeling settled in his stomach, 'oh man, Tree Fairy probably super ticked off at me, and I bet if she could she'd zap me back into a pokeball to…'
Iris placed Dragonite pokeball into her skirt pocket, and looked down at Axew, who looked up at her with his red eyes.
'I hope he doesn't ask any questions about what just happened,' Iris thought, biting the inside of her cheek, 'it be way to embarrassing and awkward…'
The Pokémon let go of Iris's ankle, tilted his head to the side,(Um…since Draognite can't have dessert is it okay if I have his instead?) he asked breaking the silence, this small pokemon's innocent comment seemed to make everyone laugh and lighten the mood.
Iris smiled,'Axew…I'm lucky he's too little understand all of this…'
(Please can I? Can I?) Axew plead hopping up and down
"Sure Axew, you can have Dragonite's dessert" she said
(Hooray!) he exclaimed, the Tusk Pokémon rushed up to the picnic table
Cilan sweatdropped, "Er…alright looks like we're having dessert a little early today. If you want some guys come line up!"
The Pokémon seemed please, at the thought of an early dessert (TG2012: Mmmmm, dessert…ugh now I wasn't cookies…ugh crap have to remember, trying to lose 15 pounds no cookies for me :()
"Hey, I want dessert too!" Ash said with a laugh.
"Oh no you don't" the Tree Fairy said turning to him, he cringed a bit but then sighed as he realized the angry look I her eyes was now replaced with a playful and mischievous look instead she smiled a bit before holding up there linked hands, "you and I are going to find a way to get our hands unstuck, until no dessert!"
Ash slumped over anime style, "But Iris…" he moaned, "I didn't get to eat lunch yet," he stared sadly at his plate of food that was no cold that sat on the picnic table
Iris laughed, "Don't worry this won't take too long,"
Ash sighed "Fine…"
For the next hour the duo tried everything in their power to unstick their hands. First they tried running in opposite directions but that only resulted in both of them falling over and blushing. Next they tried to wash off the honey and String Shot in the river but Ash started to bug a few Duckletts. Iris had to admit the way Zigzag face splashed the Duckletts was kinda funny, but it wasn't as fun when a Swanna came and the two got hit with a Water Pulse attack, soaking them both. After that didn't work Iris and Ash try to melt it off with the outdoor oven but that quickly turned into a bad idea when the Tree Fairy's droopy sleeve caught on fire! It took forever to get Iris to calm down, and even though he knew he shouldn't Ash could help but laugh as the Tree Fairy ran around, pulling him with her. She was screaming while waving her burning sleeve around crazily. If it wasn't for Ash who sent out Oshawott and told him to use Hydro Pump Iris's screaming would have lasted forever. Once Hydro Pump was unleashed they stood there soaked again, and Ash couldn't help it as he busted out laughing at how Iris's sleeve was slightly burned. And even though she was upset for a while and called Ash a little kid, he got her to laugh along with him! So far nothing had worked, they almost tried to saw the honey and String Shot, which had hardened, off with one of steak knives they found in Cilan's cooking supplies but the connoisseur quickly stopped them.
After all of this, Cilan deiced that they needed to get some help. So the three friends started to walk on the forest trail that lead to a Pokémon Center that was located at the end of the forest and a few miles outside a small town.
Ash sighed, "Ugh…we tried everything and nothing worked…" he moaned as his stomach rumbled "and I still didn't eat lunch…ohhh…"
(Do always think about your stomach?) Pikachu asked who was riding on his trainer's shoulder
"Hey, it's not my fault besides you got to eat lunch," his stomach rumbled, "ohh…"
"Yeah, you two got to eat lunch," Iris said looking at Axew who sat in her hair, "I'm starving too," she blushed as her own stomach rumbled, Zigzag face snickered
Cilan chuckled, "Don't worry you two will be able to grab something to eat once we get to that Pokémon Center up ahead, and maybe the Nurse Joy there will be able to help with your sticky situation" his friends sweatdropped at his corny pun.
"Oh, my well I never seen this before," Nurse Joy commented at the sight of Ash and Iris's hands. By now the String Shot had tighten around their hands and fingers and honey that had gotten on their hands had harden and encased their hands!
"So you're saying this is Combee honey and Sting Shot?" she asked looking at their hands
"Er, um yes," Ash said
"We've tried to get it off, but nothing's worked!" Iris added
"Do you think you can help Nurse Joy?" Cilan wondered
"Well maybe," the Nurse Joy turned to her Audnio, "maybe Audnio can use Strength to unstick your hands,"
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Cilan asked
The Nurse Joy shrugged, "Well it's worth a shot, Audnio use Strength!"
The pink Pokémon's small hands glowed white and she grabbed both trainers' wrist and pulled with the power of Strength. This only resulted in both of them screaming.
"AHHH! STOP! STOP THIS ISN'T WORKING!" Iris cried as Audnio pulled
"STOP IT! YOUR GONNA BREAK OUR ARMS! STOP!" Ash added as pain rushed through his arm
"Alright that didn't work," Nurse Joy said, after Audnio released the two.
"You have to do something, Nurse Joy, we can't stay like this!" Iris said
Nurse joy but her finger to her chin, "The next best thing I can do is call the Nurse Joy in the town up ahead to order some Sticky Repel,"
"Sticky Repel?" Ash asked
"Will it help unstick their hands?" Cilan asked
Nurse Joy nodded, "Yes, but it comes all the way from Driftvile City and if the Nurse Joy in the town ahead orders it today, I'd say it'll take a week to get here,"
"A WEEK!" Ash and Iris cried
Ash looked at the Tree Fairy, 'Oh no! A whole week? I'm stuck to Iris for a whole week?! Oh man, how is this even going to work?'
'Oh Arcus, why do you have to punish me like this?' Iris thought, 'how can I be stuck to Zigzag face all week! Oh this is going to be so weird!'
Cilan could see both of his friends were worried, "Hey look on the bright side guys,"
"What bright side?" Iris sighed
(You two lovebirds will have a whole week to spend time with each other!) Pikachu said with a smile, this caused Cilan to chuckle, Ash and Iris didn't seemed so amused
(This week is gonna be fun!) Axew cried popping from Iris's hair and waving his arms happily in the air not really understanding how awkward this was going to be for the trainers
Both Zigzag face and the Tree Fairy looked at each other; they both blushed and gave nervous laughs before looking away and thought the same thought:
'Yeah this going to be tons of fun'
How will the Tree fairy and Zigzag face handle be stuck together for a whole week? What will they learn about each other during this time? Will the conflict between Dragonite and Ash subside? Find out in the next chapter of Give Me Your Hand!
