Alrighty, my 7th chapter is on the way! Sorry for the slow update, school starts Thursday for people here in New York and I am in a hurry. I managed to get this chapter up, but I may not get another one up until the weekend, so please be patient! Now that they have new episodes of Diamond and Pearl, maybe I can look forward to Misty's return, ( which won't be for awhile ). But I can look for hints of aaml and some ideas for new stories, which reminds me, I will be working on my first song-fic with the help of Carlos Santos, ( Carlo in this story ), when I am finished with this, just a little heads up!

After they reached the camp, the girls changed into clothes and the boys switched clothes, ( remember, the girls had on bathing suits and the boys got wet ). When they were done, everyone sat around the campfire with food in their hands. Before they started eating, Steven suggested something.
''Shouldn't we let out Pokemon out first?'', Steven asked. Everyone nodded and grabbed their Pokeballs. Ash and the gang released all of their Pokemon while Evan released his Pidgeot, Stephanie released her Vaporeon and Blastoise, Carlos sent out his Dragonair and Charizard, Steven sent out his Golem, Dugtrio, and Nidoking, and Alexi released her Roselia, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita. They then handed all of their Pokemon their food that Brock made for them, which they were delighted to recieve. Brock, however, looked at Carlo's Dragonair questionably.
''Is there something wrong?'', Carlo asked.
''Well, everyone here has a Pokemon that match their element, so why do you have this Dragonair?'', Brock asked as he reached his hand out to touch Dragonair, Carlo paniced.
''No, don't touch!'', but it was too late, Brock had touched Dragonair. The Pokemon then tilted it's head to face Brock and fired a Fireblast at him. When the attack disappeared, Brock was left there burnt to a crisp. He puffed out smoke from his mouth.
''Ow'', Brock said before collapsing into a heap. Everyone started to laugh.
''Sorry Brock, you see my Dragonair is really picky over who touches her'', Carlo said.
''Of coarse, Brock had to find that out the hard way!'', Max said. Everyone laughed more. After Brock seated himself, everyone started to eat.
''Wow Brock, this is great!'', Steven said eating.
''Yeah, Brock's a great chef'', Misty stated. Alexi then tried her food. After she did, her eyes grew nig and glassy.
''This has got to be the best food I have ever tasted!'', Alexi said. Brock of coarse, ran up to her hopeful.
''Do you mean it!?'', Brock aksed.
''Yeah, your a great cook Brock!'', Alexi answered. Brock then threw a fist into the air.
Yes! Then I still have a chance to win your love!'', Brock said happily. Alexi sweatdropped.
''Don' push your luck!'', Alexi said angrily. Brock put his head down in shame and walked back to where he was sitting. May then faced Misty with a mischevious grin.
''So Misty, what were you doing at the lake?'', May asked with a smile.
''I was getting trained by Stephanie, why?'', Misty asked confused. May smiled more.
''Well that's not what I saw'', May said in a sing-song way. ''I saw you and Ash playing together and then I saw a very romantic scene between you two!'', she continued. Misty looked at Ash and the both of them blushed.
''Oh yeah, well what about you and Drew!?'', Misty asked.
''What about him? We're rivals'', May stated.
''That's not what Ash told me, he said that he likes to give you roses and helps you out alot!'', Misty said. This time May blushed.
''No, it's not like that!'', May said. Alexi quickly sat next to May, excited.
''Oh, who's Drew, is he another Pokemon Contestant?'', Alexi asked.
''Yes, but we don't like each other!'', May said.
''But you two sound cute together! I want to see you two get together!'', Alexi stated, ( That was for you Prettygirl17! And their's more where that came from! ). May shrunk in her seat in embarrasment. During this, Misty glanced over at Ash and they made eye contact, they then smiled. After diner, the Pokemon were put into their Pokeballs and everyone prepared for bed. They decided that for the first night, the girls would get one tent together while the boys get another one. The other two tents were for storage. They said their goodnights to each other and left for their tents, but no one went to sleep. In the girl's tent, the girls sat in a circle with a bottle in the middle. They took turns spinning it and whoever the bottle pointed to had to either do a dare, or answer a question truthfully. On this turn, Alexi spun the bottle and it landed on May, ( not litteraly people! ). May seemed scared while the other 3 girls grinned at each other. ''OK May, do you like Drew?'', Alexi asked. Both Misty and Stephanie held in a grin while May looked worried. All of the girls made a vow to do the dare or tell the truth, so May was stuck in a corner. She looked at the three girls and then put her head down.
''Yes'', May answered shamefully. The other girls ''ooed'', and ''aaed''.
''Did you two ever, you know, kiss?'', Stephanie asked. Although she was still shy about the topic, May realized that the girls wouldn't tell anyone, so she spoke with more confidence.
''Well, here's a secret about that, me, Ash, Brock, Max, and my mom all saw Drew leave when we were at the Grand Festival, but the next day, me and him met up in the city and we spent the day together'', May said.
''What did you 2 do together?'', Misty asked.
''Well first we just walked and talked, then we went to this really nice restaurant, and then we sat on a park bench facing the ocean at sunset'', May said romantically. The girls ''awwed''.
''And then what?'', Alexi asked.
''Well he started talking about us and Harley at the Grand Festival, and then he started talking about sweet things to me'', May said.
''And?'', Stephanie said getting excited and anxious.
''Well he was so sweet talking about me like that and the sceen was so romantic, so I tilted his head to face me and I kissed him...and he kissed back...and we did this for about...10 minutes, ( IT WAS CLEAN PEOPLE! )'', May said. All 3 girls squeeled.
''How did it end!?'', Misty asked.
''Well, I was laying on top of him on the park bench...my arms were around his neck, his around my waist...and we just layed there like that for awhile until we got up and watched the sunset together, haven't seen him since, so I don't know if he loves me back'', May said.
''Don't worry, you don't kiss like that and not mean it, same thing with me and Evan, he loves you, I have confidence in that'', Stephanie said. Misty nodded, which made May smile.
''Did any of you...remove anything?'', Alexi asked just to embarrass her.
''Well he took off my bandana to feel my hair but...Hey! my turn was supposed to end awhile ago!'', May yelled. The girls all laughed as Stephanie spun the bottle, which landed on Misty. ''Ha! Do you like Ash!?'', May asked immediatly for revenge. Misty blushed emesfully while the girls listened in.
''Well...'', Misty started. Suddenly, they heard movement outside. Everyone turned to face the entrance to the tent and realized that it was still slightly open. Misty slowly went to close the tent but then suddenly, something jumped into the tent. The girls all looked at what jumped in. Meanwhile, in the boy's tent, Carlo, Steven, Brock, and Max were talking while Ash, Pikachu, and Evan lay in their beds, trying to sleep.
''...And then Brock goes on the stage and sings this stupid love song!'', Max said in tears from laughter.
''It's the only song I know!'', Brock said. This time, Steven and Carlo joined in on the laughing. While they laughed, Ash layed in bed facing the ceiling petting Pikachu. Evan notticed this.
''Can't sleep?'', Evan asked. Ash faced him and then looked back up at the ceiling.
''No, just thinking'', Ash said.
''I think I know what...or who your thinking of'', Evan said. Ash blushed. Suddenly...
''AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!'', they heard. All of the boys stood up.
''What was that!?'', Steven asked.
''It came from the girl's tent, come on!'', Ash yelled. He then ran out of the tent followed shortly by Pikachu, then the others. When Ash and Pikachu reached the girl's tent, Ash opened it quickly. ''What's going on!?'', he asked worried. When the others reached the tent, everyone looked in and sweatdropped. Inside the tent was a Weedle, curled up in a ball sleeping in the center of the tent. In the corner was Misty and Stephanie, both holding on to each other for dear life. May was against the side of the tent, not nearly as freaked out as Misty or Stephanie, but plenty scared. Alexi was making sure she wasn't near the Weedle, but giggled at the other girls.
''Get that thing out of here!'', Misty, Stephanie, and May yelled.
''You scared us just because of a Weedle!? It's not even attacking, it's asleep!'', Ash yelled.
''But it's creepy, can't you get it out!?'', Misty asked. Ash sighed and entered the tent, picked up the sleeping Weedle, and then left to gently place it near a tree.
''Wow, you girls are chickens!'', Evan said jokingly.
''Hey! I didn't flip out like they did!'', Alexi said.
''Look at you, you were away from the Weedle too!'', Steven said.
''That's because I didn't want to get stung!'', Alexi said, ( I actually haven't a clue if Prettygirl17 is actually afraid of bugs, but it makes it funny! ).
''Yeah right'', Carlo said. The boys were then bombarded by pillows as Ash returned.
''There, the Weedle is gone, can we go now?'', Ash asked. All the girls relazed themselves.
''Yes Ash'', Misty said. The guys then started to leave. ''Oh and Ash'', Misty said. Ash stopped moving and looked at her. ''Thanks'', she finished. Ash smiled.
''Your welcome'', Ash said. He then closed up the tent for the girls and then left for his tent. When he left, Misty reopened the tent and poked her head out to see if any of the boys were still there.
''Alright Misty, you have to tell us your answer, it's still your turn'', May said. Misty looked at the girls. Seeing as their was no way out, she sighed.
''Alright, but you have to keep it a secret'', Misty said as she closed the tent. The next day, everyone woke up and left their tents to prepare for the morning. Brock started to make breakfast with the help of Steven, Max, and Alexi; Evan, Ash and Carlo went to jump in the lake for a bath; and Misty, Stephanie, and May went into their tent to get changed with Pikachu guarding the entrance. After everyone was done, they all headed to the fire pit and sat down to eat at a table that they brought along
''Alright everyone, dig in!'', Brock said.
''Thank you Brock!'', everyone said. They then started eating. It was a quick meal and everyone was done soon. After breakfast, everyone left to get changed while the girls who were already changed did dishes. Evan was the first one done and he walked over to the girls and kissed Stephanie on the cheek.
''Happy Anniversary!'', Evan said sweetly. Stephanie turned to face him with a smile on her face.
''You did remember!'', Stephanie said happily. She then ran into a hug from Evan.
''Of coarse I remembered! And Ash agreed to try training by himself today so I'm all yours'', Evan said.
''Well that's nice, but I have to train Misty'', Stephanie said.
''Oh don't worry Stephanie, I can train with Ash, take the day off, enjoy your anniversary'', Misty said while doing dishes.
''Are you sure? You don't know what we were going to learn today'', Stephanie asked. Misty nodded.
''Yeah, I'll be fine'', Misty reasured.
''OK, if your sure, thank you!'', Stephanie said as she walked off with Evan, hand in hand. Just then, Ash arrived with his hands in his pockets and Pikachu om his head and watched the couple with the girls.
''You know, the're going to make a great couple when they get married'', May said. Misty nodded.
''I wouldn't be surprised if he asked her soon'', Misty said.
''He will'', Ash said mater of factly. The girls looked at him confused. ''It's a secret, but I'll tell you if you keep it a secret'', Ash said. They nodded. Ash then whispered into both of their ears. Afterwards, everyone left for training. Steven and Brock headed into the woods towards a rocky cliff, ( or mountains, I'll let you decide ), and said that they wouldn't be back for quite some time. Alexi and Max decided to train at the edge of the forest so that they would be close to the camp. May and Carlo headed towards the desert to train. And since Misty and Ash were training together, they and Pikachu headed towards the lake to train. When they arrived at the lake, Pikachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder while Ash faced Misty. ''So, you ready?'', Ash asked. Misty nodded. ''OK then, let's get started'', he said. They then started training. After awhile, Ash mastered the Air ride and Air Cannon. He then tried to perform a Tornado Strike. Misty had mastered the Water ball technique, ( it's not a attack rememeber ), and learned a new move she called Water Armor, where she is completely covered in water, like a suit of armor.
''Hey Ash!'', Misty called out from the shallow part of the lake. Ash, ( who was on the beach ), looked out at her. ''Watch this!'', Misty yelled. She then brought her hands down to the surface of the water and pulled them up quickly. As she did, a tower of water picked her up and lifted her about 20 feet in the air.
''That's amazing Misty!'', Ash called out. He then quieted down. ''Everything you do is amazing'', he said to himself. he then looked up at Misty again and paniced at what he saw. He notticed the tower of Water start to shake, along with Misty. Suddenly, the tower of water fell, with Misty as well. ''MISTY!'', Ash yelled. He then used Air ride to fly up to Misty quickly. He flew under Misty and caught her in mid air, one arm under her legs, the other on her back. Misty looked at Ash, and then at the ground.
''Thanks Ash!'', Misty said relieved. Ash smiled.
''Your welcome'', Ash answered. Misty thn smiled and wrapped her arms around Ash's neck as Ash flew down to the ground. When he landed on the beach, he placed Misty down as gently as he could. ''You alright?'', Ash asked.
''Yeah, I'm fine'', Misty said. She then looked at Ash, who made a goofy grin.
''You better not try that move again, your not to good at it'', Ash said. Misty also smiled and eventually, they both broke down laughing. Pikachu watched them, both happy that the're having a moment together, and confused as to why the're laughing.
''Pikachu?'', Pikachu wondered. By this time, both Ash and Misty were bending down, trying to breath. After they relaxed, Misty looked at Ash.
''How come we don't have times like that?'', Misty asked.
''Probably because we don't hang out as much'', Ash guessed.
''Then we have to hang out more'', Misty said. ''Promise?'', she asked looking at Ash. Ash looked at her and smiled sincerely, seeing her face made him feel happier than he could have imagined.
''Right, promise'', Ash said. They then sat down with Pikachu to watch the world around them.
