Chapter 4

Ash, accompanied by Brock, Misty, and of course his best Pokemon Pikachu went on a journey to the Johto region. The three of them landed in New Bark Town where they met the curious Professor Elm, a stressed out, nerdy man who seemed like he was a little in over his head with his occupation. He was glad to meet them and gave Ash a Johto Pokedex. In addition to this, Professor Elm also gave Misty a mystery egg, hoping that she could help him with his research on it. She happily obliged and the three of them quickly headed to Violet City, where Ash could challenge the first gym in the region. He received the badge from the gym and after that the three of them ventured to Azalea Town to fight the gym there. From there, the three friends traveled all around the Johto region, challenging gyms (Ash experienced trouble with the Goldenrod and Ecruteak gyms particularly) and learning more about the new Pokemon that lived in Johto. During the adventure Ash couldn't help but think about Gary again; wishing that he could forget about him for now, and enjoy his time in the new region, he was unable to fulfill his desires. Gary was the first thing that Ash thought about in the morning, and was the last thing that he thought about at night. For now Ash would have to live with this curse, but he couldn't help but enjoy it in a certain way.

The three friends were now in Cianwood City, a small coastal town on an Island southwest of Olivine City. The Island, normally sunny and pleasant was just that earlier in the morning, but as the day progressed, the sky turned purple and thunder clouds rolled in from the north. There was a gym in Cianwood that Ash was preparing to battle. The gym, being specialized in fighting types, provided a good opportunity for Ash to train his Noctowl. The three of them were hanging out on a beach north of Cianwood; Ash was training his Pokemon and Misty and Brock were tending to their own. Noctowl was performing aerial ace and hypnosis; Ash was becoming quite proud of his Pokemon and felt certain that he would be able to win the gym battle.

"You're really looking good out there, Noctowl!" cheered Ash, supporting his Pokemon. Noctowl gave out a loud screech in response.

"You'll be able to win this battle easy!" exclaimed Brock.

"Yeah, Ash, this'll be a piece of cake," added Misty.

Suddenly there was a loud piercing cry. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around to see where the source was.

"Ah, what was that!?" questioned Ash looking at each direction.

"I don't know," Misty replied, rubbing her ears.

"Ah, guys!" shouted Brock, "look up there!" Brock pointed up a rocky cliff on the side of a mountain. Misty and Ash looked to where Brock was pointing; what they saw was a sight that almost did not believe. It was Raikou, the legendary dog of thunder that freely roamed across Johto. The majestic legendary, coated in yellow and black fur, stood strong and proud on the cliff, looking down at the three trainers below him. The sky now turned from purple to black, and heavy rain started to pour. Strong, violent cracks of thunder could be heard, following the strike of thick lightning bolts. Raikou continued staring at the three.

"What do you think it wants?" asked Misty quietly.

"I'm not sure," stated Ash who couldn't keep his eyes off of the legendary dog.

And almost as quickly and silently as Raikou had appeared, he went away. All three trainers blinked and suddenly the Pokemon was gone. The rain gradually went away, the thunder and lightening stopped, and the black storm clouds began rolling east, as if they were following the legendary Pokemon. Ash, Misty, and Brock began wondering if what they had seen was real, or simply a hallucination. They all looked at each other with puzzled looks and could only help but stare at the cliff that Raikou had perched on. Footsteps could be heard approaching the three of them, coming from the south. Pikachu and Noctowl were alert.

"Pika!" shouted Pikachu, warning the three friends.

"What is it buddy?" asked Ash, looking at the direction Pikachu was facing. All three of them were now alert, not knowing who was coming. What they saw was a boy running as fast as he could towards them. He was out of breath and stopped about twenty feet away from them. He rested his hands on his knees and tilted his head to look at the three trainers.

"Ugh, running on sand always kills me," the boy panted, "ugh, did I miss it? Is he gone?"

"Miss what?" inquired Brock, "who's gone?"

"Haha, yeah I should've clarified first," laughed the boy who was now standing up straight. Now that the boy was standing up straight all three trainers could see what he looked like. The boy had black hair, a similar shade to Ash's. He had a slight tan to his skin tone and had indigo colored eyes. He donned a gold and black hat and wore a red and white hoodie as well as gold and black shorts. There was a softness to his eyes that made him seem incredibly friendly, and the slight smirk on his face made him seem lighthearted and easy going. He was about an inch taller than Ash. When Ash laid his eyes on the boy time slowed down so that Ash could soak in every detail of the stranger. The caramel eyed boy felt infatuated with him. He loved everything about the boy from his smirk to the way he dressed. Ash's heart began to beat faster and he couldn't help but smile looking at him. A completely new sensation took over Ash.

The boy picked up the conversation again.

"My name is Jimmy. I am a 13 year old trainer from New Bark Town who has collected every badge in the Johto region. I am now on a journey, trying to track down each of the legendary dogs, being Suicune, Entei, and Raikou that roam across the lands. I have managed to meet Entei already all the way in Mahogany Town, but I have yet to see the other two. I have been on this journey for nearly a year and I hope to see the other two before I turn 14."

"Oh, so you were looking for Raikou?" interjected Ash, looking into the indigo eyes of Jimmy.

"That's right, dude," started Jimmy again, "I've been on his trail for nearly three months but this was the closest I've been to him. Telling by the rain it seems like I just missed him."

"Yeah, he was only here for a few moments. The rain clouds seemed like they were heading east, and I assume that means that's where Raikou is heading?" said Brock.

"Exactly," replied Jimmy with a smile and confirmation in his tone. Ash began to blush when Jimmy smiled; he had to turn his face away. He loved the way Jimmy smiled.

"So what does that mean for you?" asked Misty.

"Well normally I would follow as soon as I could, but since all the ferries leaving the Island are done for the day, I guess I have to stay here," declared Jimmy.

"Are you staying at the Pokemon center?" asked Ash.

"That's what I planned on," the indigo eyed boy replied.

"Well, then you can come with us, I think we are done training for the day," mentioned Ash, looking around at Brock and Misty.

"Ash, you don't wann-" began Misty.

"Nope I think I'm done for the day," blurbed out Ash quickly. This got Ash a sour look from Misty.

"Well, if you guys don't mind me walking there with you, I'd be honored to join you," stated Jimmy with a smirk. Ash smiled happily back.

"We'd be happy to have you join us," said Ash. Ash returned Noctowl into it's Pokeball and the four of them headed back to the Pokemon center in Cianwood City, talking the whole way, getting to know each other. Ash walked close to Jimmy, enjoying his scent and his company. He liked the new feeling that he got when he was around him.

The four of them made their way to the Pokemon center, and got enough rooms for each of them. They then proceeded to hang out in the main lobby of the Pokemon center, talking to each other about their travels across the Pokemon world. Ash talked about the Kanto region, and told Jimmy about getting all eight badges and then entering the Indigo League. Jimmy then told his stories about starting out in New Bark Town with only a Cyndaquil, and then going on to win the eight Johto badges and then entering into the Silver League. Ash was happy to learn that Jimmy did not make it past the first round, meaning that he was the better trainer of the two.

"So how if Professor Elm?" asked Jimmy, "I haven't talked or seen him in quite a few months."

"He is... very nervous," answered Brock.

"When we arrived in Johto, he gave me an egg for research," added Misty, "and it eventually hatched into a Togepi."

Haha, that sounds like him," Jimmy laughed, rubbing the back of his head, "always trying to get other people to help him with his work. He tried that with me for a while, and wanted me to be his assistant, but I said I'd be happier looking for legendary Pokemon."

The mention of being a professor's assistant brought back memories of Gary to Ash.

"Hey, I have something to ask you guys," began Jimmy.

"What is it?" Ash asked. Jimmy looked into Ash's eyes with a smile.

"Since I wasn't able to see Raikou, would the three of you be willing to let me interview each of you, so that way I can know what to expect the next time I get close to him."

"That sounds alright with me!" exclaimed Ash happily.

"Yeah, I'd be happy to help with that," Brock chimed.

"Great, the interview would happen in my room, so Brock do you want to come up with me, and then Misty and then Ash?" said Jimmy with beaming smile on his face. Ash was a little disappointed that Jimmy did not pick him first, be was soon okay with it since it gave him time to think. To think if he wanted to have sex with Jimmy, to see if for one night he would be able to forget about Gary; just for one night if he could put his mistakes and painful heartache behind. As Brock was being interviewed by Jimmy, Ash devised a way to get Jimmy to sleep with him. As he thought of several ways to get Jimmy in bed his heart began to beat faster, and blood would rush to his cheeks, turning them into a crimson color. Soon Misty went up to the room with Jimmy; twenty minutes after that Ash was called up to be interviewed by the indigo eyed boy, but the twenty minutes only felt like a few seconds to Ash, who did not create a foolproof plan to have the boy he amorously into the bed with him. He began making his way to the room Jimmy was in, each step he took, his heart beating faster. He knocked on the door, with his cheeks colored a blazing red. Jimmy answered the door.

"Hey, Ash," greeted Jimmy with the sexy smirk that Ash loved.

"H-hey," stuttered Ash, smiling back.

"Come on in," said Jimmy, giving Ash a pat on the back. Ash walked into the room, and Jimmy closed the door behind them. What Ash did not know is that Jimmy did not do that for Brock and Misty. Ash looked around the room. It was dimly lit by a soft, golden light. The bed was untouched and a candle was lit on a table in the far left corner of the room. The candle's aroma smelt like vanilla Miltank ice cream. The smell was pleasing to Ash, and it reminded him of how his mother used to light the exact same candles back home in Kanto. Ash turned around to Jimmy.

"Would you like to sit on the bed?" asked Jimmy, pointing to the pristine white bed.

"Sure," replied Ash. He went over and found a seat on the bed. Jimmy got on the bed and sat next to him. With Jimmy so close Ash could smell Jimmy's cologne again. It smelt like pine trees, cardamon, and slight hint of mint. Ash enjoyed every smell he got of it. Jimmy moved a little closer to Ash, which made the caramel eyed boy's heart beat a little faster. His head and his began to feel warm.

"Alright Ash," started Jimmy, "let's start the interview!"

"Don't you need, like, a notepad or something?" questioned Ash a little confused.

"Nope, I got good memory," replied Jimmy with a little chuckle, "alright, so the first question is what did the sky look like when Raikou appeared?"

"Well, at first the sky and the clouds were purple, but once he appeared they turned black," Ash stated. Once Ash finished his sentence, Jimmy moved a little closer to Ash, looking into the caramel eyes and smiling at the boy. Ash's heart began beating fast as Jimmy moved closer.

"Okay, so the next question is, what did you feel like when you saw Raikou?" Jimmy asked.

"I don't really know," started Ash, almost choking on his words, "I didn't really feel anything. He was gone almost as soon as he appeared." Ash finished his response again.

"How long was Raikou there?" questioned Jimmy.

"Well, I'm not sure beca-"

Ash was stopped because Jimmy placed his soft hand onto Ash's cheek and then kissed Ash's lips. The caramel eyed boy was shocked. His cheeks were flushed with red blood, and his heart was almost beating out of his chest. Jimmy pulled away and looked at Ash with the same gentle smile that Ash was infatuated with.

"Wha—why did you do that?" Ash asked, a little shocked from what happened.

"Because," started Jimmy, "there was obvious sexual tension. You've been eyeing my body all day, not so subtly really."

Ash's cheeks some how became even more red. He rubbed the back of his head and had an embarrassed looked on his face.

"Haha," laughed Ash awkwardly, "my bad..."

"Don't apologize! I've been doing the same to you!"

"Really!?"

"Haha, yeah dude. I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw you."

"So... you want this..? Do you wan-"

Ash was stopped by Jimmy who placed his index finger onto Ash's lips. He leaned into next to Ash's ear and whispered in a hot breath that sent chills down Ash's spine.

"Yes, I want you all to me tonight..." Jimmy whispered. He then pushed Ash down onto the bed and started kissing and gently nibbling his neck. Ash closed his eyes and placed his arms into a t-shape. He enjoyed feeling Jimmy's body on him. Jimmy stopped kissing Ash's neck and then pulled off his and Ash's hats; he threw them onto the floor and then proceeded to take off Ash's shirt. Jimmy kissed Ash's pecs and licked his hard pink nipples. Ash bit his lip as to not let out any moans just yet. Jimmy continued taking off Ash's clothes by removing Ash's shoes and jeans and pulling off Ash's boxers, revealing to the indigo eyed boy his erect five inch penis that stood straight up. Ash was now completely naked and Jimmy enjoyed the sight; he spat onto Ash's cock and began rubbing the head with the palm of his hand. Ash had never felt anything like it; his body could help but shake from the intense feeling he was getting.

"Ji-Jimmy, what is this?" moaned Ash with a little shakiness in his voice. He was staring up at the white ceiling.

"Haha, this is Johto masturbation," replied Jimmy, who was loving the way Ash was reacting.

"This feels amazing!" exclaimed Ash whose legs were shaking. Sensing that Ash was nearing an orgasm already Jimmy stopped rubbing the head. He got off the bed and then proceeded to take off all his clothes, except for his underwear. Ash could see the bulge of Jimmy's hard cock; he wanted it so bad. He wanted to feel it inside him, but he would not get it for a little longer. Jimmy pulled up Ash's body and flipped him over, making Ash lay on his elbows and knees. Jimmy tilted down and split Ash's ass cheeks apart. He began licking Ash's hole, sending a new sensation that Ash hadn't felt throughout his whole body. Jimmy stuck his tongue deep in to Ash's tight, clean, pink hole, and was massaging his ass cheeks with his hands, rubbing them side to side and up and down.

"Ah, Jimmy I've never felt anything like this," moaned Ash.

"Do you like it?" asked Jimmy with a smirk.

"I love it," Ash groaned back.

Jimmy continued licking Ash's hairless hole and Ash continued to softly moan. Ash savored everything that Jimmy was doing for him; he couldn't help but dangle his head in between his shoulders. Jimmy stopped.

"It's my turn," he stated. Ash laid down on his back and looked into Jimmy's eyes. He loved looking at the exotic color. Jimmy pulled off his underwear, finally showing Ash the erection that he had been wanting to see all night. Jimmy's cock was six inches, and circumcised like all boys in Johto. There as a peach colored circumcision scare in the middle of the shaft, and the top of half of it was a pale strawberry color, like the head. His balls hung slightly and the ball sack was a rose red color. Ash drooled looking at the member and the rest of Jimmy's body; Ash admired Jimmy's smooth skin and the slight definition around his biceps. He was ready for whatever Jimmy wanted to do. Jimmy, who was on his knees, got on top of Ash; he took his hand, placed it on Ash's head and moved Ash's mouth onto his cock. He moved Ash's head back and forth, on his penis, Ash's moist mouth allowing the member to easily slide in and out. It was now Jimmy's turn to moan as he adored the feeling of Ash's mouth, stimulating his warm penis. He let out little moans and rubbed Ash's head, cheering the caramel eyed boy on. For a few more moments Ash's sucked Jimmy, until the dominant boy pulled his member out and moved closer to Ash's ass. He split apart Ash's ass cheeks, admiring the tight, puckering hole that he longed to feel on his cock.

"Are you ready?" asked Jimmy confidently.

"Yes, I need you inside me," moaned Ash, looking longingly into Jimmy's eyes.

Jimmy forced his cock into Ash's hairless hole, which had tightened up from the last time he had sex; it was practically a virgin hole again. Jimmy let out a long moan as he slid his entire cock into Ash. He placed his right hand on his hip and his left hand on to Ash's chest, massaging the crow haired boy's chest. He began thrusting back and forth, each time his balls made a slapping sound against Ash's cheeks. Jimmy's six inch cock was easily able to hit Ash's g-spot, making Ash roll his eyes back in pleasure. He had wanted to feel like this for a long time, and now that it was finally happening, he felt better than he imagined. Ash wrapped his arms around Jimmy and begged him to go faster.

"Fu-" moaned Ash looking at the Johto boy's face, "fuck me harder, Jimmy, I need you to."

This motivated Jimmy even more; he now placed both hands onto Ash's torso, firmly grasping them for better leverage. He started thrusting faster and faster, each time his balls made a louder clapping sound. Both boys were so focused on each other, that they did not worry about the loud sounds they were making. Jimmy grunted and moaned as he continued fucking Ash, seeking to climax. Ash began jerking his cock off again, loving each time Jimmy's head made contact with his g-spot. Both boys leaned in closer to each other, and moaned. Jimmy continued thrusting and Ash continued jerking himself off. Eventually both of them had to climax.

"Ah, fuck." moaned Jimmy, "I'm going to cum."

"Me, too," Ash moaned back, with ecstasy in his voice. Ash could not contain himself and four long strings of white cum, spurted out of his penis and onto his chest and even his face. Jimmy pulled his member out of Ash and moved forward to Ash mouth. He stuck the top half of the shaft into Ash's mouth; Ash suck off Jimmy's penis for a few seconds, until his mouth filled with Jimmy's hot semen. Ash swallowed every drop of it. Jimmy rubbed Ash's head and smiled at him. Ash blushed once again. Ash laid down, resting his head on a pillow. Jimmy laid down next to him. Ash turned to him and placed his his hand on Jimmy's sweaty chest.

"Thanks..." muttered Ash nervously.

"Haha, for what?" Jimmy replied.

"For... for everything. I really needed this," confessed Ash sadly.

"I needed this too. It's not easy being gay in Johto."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's the most traditional region in the world. People just aren't open minded. People just don't understand it."

"That sucks. Gay marriage in Kanto is legal, but a lot of people still don't agree with it."

"I've heard that. Have you told anyone? About being gay?"

"Yes. Just one person. That's it."

"Same here. I've only told Marina, my best friend. She grew up with me in New Bark. She was very understanding and supportive. I haven't even told my mother. I just think she would react in the wrong way."

Hearing Jimmy say that gave Ash confidence that he made the right decision in not telling his mom about his sexuality.

"Me too. I just don't think she would love me the same," stated Ash.

"It's hard to tell. Some days I think that she would be supportive of me, and other days I think that she would shut me out of her life. I just don't want to take the chance," Jimmy said.

"I feel the same way," Ash replied somberly.

"Let's sleep together, for tonight, and not worry about any of that. Does that sound good?" asked Jimmy, looking into Ash's eyes.

"Yes," Ash said simply.

The two of them crawled underneath the covers. The 13 year old boys fell asleep in each other's arms, not caring about any social issues, or anything else in the world. For the first night in a long, long time, Ash did not think about Gary; he just laid peacefully under the covers, savoring the feeling of Jimmy's arms around him.

The next morning Jimmy and the three friends parted ways. Jimmy had to continue his search for Raikou and Suicune and headed off into the Johto region, hoping to soon find them. Jimmy gave a long good bye to Ash, particularly, saying to the caramel eyed boy that he hoped to see him again in the future, and that he wished him luck in finding acceptance for who he is. Jimmy boarded a ferry and waved goodbye to them. Ash and the rest of them stayed on the island for a couple more days preparing for the gym battle, which Ash won easily.

Ash went on to receive the rest of the eight Johto badges and then went to enter the Silver League. He managed to reach the quarter finals again, but was defeated by a dragon type trainer from Goldenrod City. Ash initially felt disappointment, but was soon his happy self again after being cheered up by Misty and Brock. The three of them headed back to New Bark Town to say goodbye to Professor Elm, and then the three of them were on their way to Kanto; on their way back to Palette Town.
