A/N: here's chapter 4 " a racing pulse", enjoy.
Dawn's p.o.v.:
When I woke up in the morning, I noticed that Ash was lying next to me. I snuggled closer into his chest and sighed happily, I can't believe we're going to get married. I heard Prinplup making a racket downstairs so I woke up, threw on some sweat pants and a white t-shirt and I walked downstairs to see what all the noise was about. Prinplup was fighting with Manoswine over an apple, "hey you guys there is no need to fight if you're hungry just say something to me and I'll make you some breakfast." I was able to break up the fight and make some bowls of Pokemon food for everyone. I was in the middle of making a bowl for Charizard when I felt Ash wrap his arms around my big belly. I leaned my head into him, "good morning handsome." He kissed my shoulder then my neck, "good morning beautiful." I loosened Ash's arms and went outside without looking at him to give Charizard his breakfast, Ash had followed me out there. Venusaur and Wartortle were already eating away on their food. I turned around to see Ash petting Riolu on the head, I noticed that Ash was just in his boxer shorts he looked really nice in just his shorts.
I heard some rustling in the bushes and saw both our Eevees walk out, my Eevee was nuzzling Ash's Eevee. They sat down next Riolu and Ash went inside to get them something to eat. I heard some more rustling and saw Pikachu and Buneary coming out of the bushes. I knew what happened with all four of them, but I wanted to tease Buneary and Pikachu. "And what have you two been up to." Pikachu scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously. Buneary blushed and covered her face in her fluff. Ash had come back out with two bowls of food for our Eevees, he set both bowls down and spotted Pikachu and Buneary, he smirked at them. After we fed them, we went inside so Ash could get dressed. I went into the bathroom to do something with my hair and finally just put my hair in a ponytail. I walked downstairs to find Ash sitting in the living on the couch, he smiled at me.
I walked over to him and he pulled me on to his lap, I giggled at him and kissed him on the lips. "I have two Gym battles coming up and I want you to come with me to be my good luck charm." I put my hand on his cheek, "you really want me to come with you and be you're cheerleader again. I've been thinking about getting into Contests again because I really want to compete in the Grand Festival before the baby comes." He kissed my palm, "I think you should, its your dream to win the Ribbon Cup." I put a smile on my face, "I will compete I really want to compete." I nuzzled his neck, "but there is something that I want from you." He looked at me with a question on his face, "what is it?" My face was an inch from his face, "I don't want you to be looking any other girls, because you have me and you only need me in you life." I kissed him hard on the mouth, "if you keep kissing me like that, it won't be a problem." I gave him another kiss and a hug.
Ash was getting ready to leave for his Gym battles, I had called my Mom and told her that I was going with him. She said that was all right, I just had to lock up the house. With our bags packed we were all set to go on the road. Prinplup walked beside me and Pikachu sat on Ash's shoulder, it was a nice sunny day out. It was about noon when we stopped by a pond for lunch, Ash and I ate sandwiches and our Pokemon ate their food. Suddenly Buneary saw a Pokemon sticking its head out of the water, "hey that's a Totodile." Ash told me after he took a bite of his sandwich, I looked at it with my Pokedex and I decided I wanted to catch it. "Prinplup let's go," he raced up in front of me and looked ready to fight. "Prinplup use use Water gun," a jet of water shot out at the Totodile but it dodged it. The Totodile ran up to Prinplup and bit him on his right flipper. He yelled in pain and threw the Totodile off of him, Prinplup glared at the water Pokemon. I thought I saw his flippers glow briefly and I decided to try it, "Prinplup use Metal Claw." He had a very determined and he flexed his flippers, "Prinplup!" His flippers glowed and he ran toward the Totodile, then he cut it with Metal Claw. The Totodile was knocked out and I threw a Pokeball at it, there was a ding and I had a new Pokemon. Suddenly my Pokeball disappeared on its way to the Pokemon lab.
"Are you going to swap one of your Pokemon, so you can train your new Totodile?" Ash asked me, I bent down to check Prinplup's flipper, it looked pretty nasty. I dug in my bag for medicine to spray on it, he closed his eyes as I sprayed it. "I think I will, we better get to a Pokemon center so I can do it." I looked at my Pokemon and thought about. "Manoswine I choose you, is that okay with you?" He tilted his head and made a sound like he was saying 'okay'. We pack up our lunch and put our Pokemon in their Pokeballs. Luckily there was a town with a Pokemon center nearby, so we walked there. Besides even though we just ate lunch I was hungry again.
We made it there in about an hour and walked in, I headed straight for the food counter where I ordered a taco with a lot of hot sauce on it. I ate it like a Munchlax and then I order another one. Ash smirked at me, "you must still be hungry?" I nodded as I took another bite of my taco then I swallowed. "I guess I should send Manoswine to Professor Rowan." Ash nodded at me and I made my way to the video phone. I called up Professor Rowan and told him that I was switching my Manoswine for my new Totodile. He said that was fine and he was ready to make the switch, I put my Pokeball the machine and waited as it was transported away and in its place was Totodile's Pokeball.
Ash held my hand as we made our way back to the food counter and I ordered a big ice cream sundae for Ash and I to share. There was enough ice cream for me to share not only with but Prinplup, Buneary, and Pikachu too. I watched as Pikachu dug in to the sundae, "hey I was wondering, could I use Pikachu in my up coming Contest?" Ash smiled, "sure its fine with me, what do you think buddy?" Pikachu looked at us with his whipped cream and chocolate syrup covered face, "Pika Pi," we both laughed. "I take that as a yes," after we stopped laughing we went back to eating. I picked up the cherry by the stem and started licking the the whipped cream off of it. Ash was staring at me, I put the cherry down on my napkin. "Is something the matter Ash," he started blushing, "it's just that its kind of hot when you were licking that cherry." I started blushing like a tomato, "oh" I managed to squeaked out. The sounds of our Pokemon gulping down their ice cream brought us out of the awkward silence and we started eating our ice cream again.
Ash's p.o.v.:
After our ice cream Dawn said she was tired so she went to bed, Pikachu was tired so he went to sleep in Dawn's room. I stayed up and decided to train with my Eevee and Riolu. I worked with them late in to the night, suddenly a bright light surrounded Eevee, he was evolving. The light faded and he was transformed into an Umbreon, I ran over to Umbreon and petted his head. We to a break and sat by a tree, I took out one of the baby books that Dawn brought with her, I decided to take a look at it. I was starting to think I could be a good father, I never really knew my own but I wouldn't be like him I'll be in my child's life. Riolu and Umbreon heard some rustling in the brushes and I looked up to see a small boy. He was just standing there staring at us, it was chilly and late at night for such a little kid to be out at night. I walked over to him and my Pokemon followed me. "Hey what are you doing out here so late?" this little kid was only in a red T-shirt and tan shorts. He just smiled and looked at me with these big brown eyes and messy brown hair, "hey can you understand me?" I gently shook his shoulders, that's when I spotted the fluffy grey tail.
He started giggling and turned in to a Pokemon it was a Zorua. It suddenly leaped at Riolu and started using Fury Swipes. "Riolu dodge it and use Mega Kick," with a swift kick he launched the Zorua in to a tree. It was knocked out cold, I threw a Pokeball at it. In a flash the Pokeball was transported to Professor Oak's lab. I smiled and cheered that I just got a new Pokemon. I yawned because I was tired so I went inside and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up and met up with Dawn. I told her about Eevee evolving into an Umbreon and about catching a Zorua. She was happy for me and Umbreon, and Dawn's Eevee was very impressed by the sleek, black Pokemon. We ate some breakfast and started on our way to Pastoria City Gym to face Crasher Wake. I liked Dawn's outfit it was like the outfit she used to wear when I first met her. It was in the middle of the afternoon when we first started to see the Gym in the distance, Fen Badge here I come.
