Chapter 4

"Go, Golem!' yelled Jeffrey as he select his last and final pokemon.

"Uh oh, Golem is a ground and rock type pokemon. Ash has got to have a hell of a strategy to beat this pokemon." Said Max as Misty looks on warily.

'Hmmm, a Golem. I know electric attacks aren't going to have a great effect. But I have a secret weapon that Jeffrey doesn't know about.' Thought Ash as he thinks of a strategy to use his secret weapon.

"Golem, start off with a rock throw." Commanded Jeffrey as Golem picks up a very heavy rock and throws it powerfully at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, agility, then rush oh towards Golem!" said Ash as Pikachu dodged the large rock thrown at it and started running toward Golem.

'What is he trying to do? He knows physical attacks aren't going to hurt Golem's hard body.' Thought Jeffrey. "Golem, use earthquake!"

"Pikachu, jump and keep going." Said Ash as Pikachu jumps to avoid the earthquake and kept running toward Golem. Before you know it, Pikachu is right by Golem.

"PIKACHU, use iron tail with all your might!" yelled Ash as Pikachu's tail turned a bright silver and send Golem flying across the arena.

'What?!?! So that was his secret weapon!" thought Jeffrey.

"Golem is unable to battle. Pikachu wins!" the announcer yelled out. "The winner of this match is Ash Ketchum!"

"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was the general cry of Ash's friends on the sidelines while Misty jumped down to give Ash a big hug.

Ash was waving his hand to the crowd when a certain redhead ran towards him and gave him a big hug. Ash blushed when the love of his life just hugged him in front of the whole stadium. They were perhaps a little hugging a little too long. A lot of people were like "what a cute couple." Brock and May exchanged glances again and even the announcer was saying how sweet it is.

"Look at the cute couple, embracing after Ash Ketchum's first victory." Said the announcer out loud for everyone to hear.

"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" yelled Ash and Misty together.

No one believed that for a second.

Ash and Misty were still embraced and once realizing this, they broke apart, blushing wildly. Their cheeks were practically on fire.

"Congrats, Ash on winning your first match. Two more matches until you are the champion of the Hoenn League." Said Brock as they walked back to the Pokemon Center, looking for a good dinner and a good sleep.

"Thanks, Brock. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I WIN THIS LEAGUE!" exclaimed Ash.

"Don't get such a big ego, Ash." Said Misty.

"I don't have a big ego, thank you very much (Elvis style)." Said Ash as they reached the entrance to the Pokemon Center.

"Yes you do!" Said Misty.

"NO I DON'T!" said Ash.

"YES YOU DO!"

"NO I DON'T!"

"Could you guys stop arguing for one second? Shouldn't you guys be getting some rest? After all, today was a big day." Said Max.

"FINE!" yelled Ash and Misty together.

With that said they went into bed and got some sleep.

School is killing me, so I probably will update every 2 days.
