Midori to Akai Connection
Satoshi "Ash" Ketchum has a pretty ordinary life until he unknowingly switches phones with Shigeru "Gary" Oak. How will he survive? How will he take it when he learns that Gary is his forgotten friend? To top it all off, he suddenly is caught up being Gary's fake, self-proclaimed lover and being the topic of a rumor and it's all because of a photo taken in public by sources. AU.
Note: Ash is 16 and Gary is 19. Gary is a famous actor and a model. C'mon, you guys, he has such a pretty face! Also Midori is green and Akai is red in Japanese. So it's 'Green to Red Connection' or 'Green and Red Connection' since 'to' in Japanese means 'and'. It can be read both ways.

I'm still crying because I don't own Pokemon. ;~;
Ash
I woke up, feeling refreshed. I really forgot what had happened yesterday but, then again, I forget many things. I looked at my surroundings.
"Hm? Strange. This is not my house. . . Wait." I looked around. "Where am I?" I was panicking. I was turning and flailing.
"Ow!" I looked down and was shocked. "Can't a guy get some sleep?"
I screamed and jumped out of bed, clutching the clothes I am currently wearing.
"Y-You!" I pointed a finger at him. . .Shigeru.
"It's not nice to point. God, so noisy." he looked away from me, yawned, and stretched. "I guess you don't remember? Are you always like this in the morning?"
"Eh?" then it clicked.
The.
Freaking.
Kiss.
I yelled again. "No! No! Oh God, no!"
"Stop yelling!" Shigeru demanded ad I stopped almost instantly. "You hear that?" I listened in closely. It sounded like mumbling and yelling and clamor. We turned around to the big window and walked towards it.
Shigeru slowly opened it and what we saw made us have a heart attack.
Paparazzi, fan girls, girls in general, fanboys (?), boys in general yelling and screaming so early in the morning.
"Shit." Shigeru mumbled.
"What? It's not that bad. . .Is it?" I asked and he glared at me.
"You have no idea what the fandom can do, Satoshi. If you go outside using the front door you'll be mauled to death with questions and jealous fans."
My eyes widened. I pictured that scene and, heck yeah, it looked scary.
"What should we do then?" my voice was filling with concern.
"Get changed, your clothes are right there." he pointed at the clothes on the chair. "And I'll lead you to the back door." I nodded my head and did as I was told.
Gary
This is really troublesome. Gosh, my luck can't get any worse than it already is. I walked towards my closet to get some clothes and go to another bathroom. After I was done getting dressed up, I saw Satoshi standing up, waiting for me.
"C'mon." I motioned and he followed. We went downstairs and then through the kitchen, thankfully, Tracy and Granpa were out doing some errands, like usual. I then lead Satoshi out the back door of the house. "Okay, from here, you just stay out of field vision and go home."
"But, I don't know the way from here!" he pouted and I sighed.
"God dammit. C'mon." I took his hand and walked out with him, surprised to see my manager waiting for me.
"There you are! Come, let's go meet everyone up front."
"No way! I'm not risking anything."
"Come on. Don't be difficult."
After so many minutes just trying to argue, I, sadly lost the argument and Satoshi and I were forced to meet everyone. It was hectic! I couldn't breathe from all of the people trying to get the "latest scoop". So annoying!
"Shigeru! Everyone is asking, who this guy is to you. Care to tell everyone?"
"I'm sorry." I sighed and try to refrain myself from strangling the reporter. "I can't tell you anything."
"Oh don't be silly! Please, just one scoop." the others all agreed, trying to get past my manager, who was doing a pretty bad job at refraining them.
I couldn't take it anymore. I'm tired, really. So I blurted what came through my mind and I regretted everything.
"Lover! He's my lover." I scowled.
"What?" everyone exclaimed, even Satoshi. I looked at him, he was frozen in fear.
"Yes. My lover." I held his hand. "Now can you all kindly go? I'm escorting him back to his house." I then walked away, with Satoshi in tow. Everyone looked at us, completely frozen, even my manager was the same. I didn't care. I just wanted out of there.
Satoshi and I went inside my car and drove away.
Ash
"I hate you! You realize I have to go to school acting like your lover, right?" I looked anxious.
"Well, you shouldn't have kissed me." Shigeru scowled.
"I didn't kiss you. You bumped into me after you got your freaking phone!" I stated the obvious. Dang it!
"Will you shut up? God, you're so annoying." I looked at him, he definitely snapped. I knew that I couldn't really go outside of the car because of traffic but he's freaking scary. I shook my head and tried to take in my surroundings. We passed by an electronic billboard.
"Lover! He's my lover!" the board had repeated and I facepalmed. What have I gotten my sorry butt into.
"Hey, you can just take me to the place where I work."
"If I do that, there's going to be customers looking at you. Am I right?"
He was right. "I'll just sneak in through the back."
After much deafening silence, Shigeru finally complied. "Fine."
We then began to take a turn to go to 'Lavender Sweet'. At least everyone will understand me. I looked at my surroundings again. Thankful that there wasn't any electronic billboards and crowded places. I'm thankful that my mom's store is almost secluded from busy Pallet Town. It was only the "silent" part of the town.
As we reached the destination, I told Shigeru to stop the car. I then walked out of his car but not before I was stopped.
"Don't you think of about my position too?"
No, not really. I think my position is much, much worse.
"I-I. . .uhm."
"I can't face the public after that event."
"It's your fault for blurting out what came in your mind first!"
"You were panicking."
"So?"
"Either way, I'm canceling whatever I have to do today. So that means you're stuck with me for the whole day."
"Oh hell no!"
"Oh hell yes."
I then watched him go out of his own car, lock it, and walk towards me. What the hell, you can't just make decisions for me! Damn it.
"Do we really have to act like lovers?" I looked at him.
"Yeah." he replied without any hesitation. "Lead the way." he gestured towards the store.
Gary
I gestured towards the store while still looking at Satoshi. He had nodded shakily and walked towards the store.
"I thought you were going to the back entrance."
"I forgot to tell you, the store doesn't open till eleven." he smiled sheepishly.
"Are you kidding me?" I looked at him and then yanked the door open. Jesus Christ.
I stepped inside of the store. It was a nice place. Really modern. The walls were painted green and the seats were red and tabled white with menus rested on them. There were also shelves holding up some photos and flowers.
"Oh!" I heard someone exclaimed and I looked at the source of the noise. What I knew next was that I was greeted with girls rushing to come and greet me. I sighed in exasperation. Even the silent area of Pallet Town has girls like this.
"Ash!" I then watched the girl with ginger-colored hair walk up to Satoshi, the other girls followed suit. "I didn't know you two were lovers! Why didn't you tell us?"
"I-er. . ."
"Alright, that's enough. So early in the morning." I looked towards the voice to see a woman walking towards us.
"Mom!" Satoshi exclaimed as he came to greet his mother.
"Ash. I was worried until you contacted me yesterday." she then glanced up at me. "Ah! Shigeru? Shigeru Oak?" I nodded. "Thank you for taking care of my son! Please treat him well, he is, in fact, your lover, am I right?"
I felt like I was stabbed. This woman, this very same woman. I thought she was a reasonable person.
You guys. I'm alive. Ahaha. Thank you for supporting this story really. So many kind comments and so many of you guys asking when I will update. I hope this is enough to feed your needs?
And I also thought Mrs. Ketchum was a reasonable woman, Gary. You're not alone.
Please review!
