OMG, THE END?! Read the authors note at the end for more details. I do not own Pokemon. And I'm super duper sorry for the short chapter DX

Chapter Twenty Five: Here We Are Now

"Ash, where exactly are we going?" Misty asked, her light green summer dress floating in the wind. Yes, her three BFFs finally found her a suitable outfit. After many arguments of course. And some bruises. Cough, no need to worry. Minimal blood was seen.

"You'll see, my dear." Ash smirked, pulling on Misty's hand.

They trekked through the forest near Pallet town, the leaves greeting them and the flowers smiled. Then they came to a place that Misty easily recognised.

"Ash… Is this where…" Misty breathed.

"This is where it all started." Ash confirmed.

The two stood, holding hands, at the edge of the lake where Ash and Misty had first met. As the sun set, the reflection on the lake mirrored it, only with light ripples as the water Pokemon swam.

"I'm so glad I fished you out on that day." Misty sighed.

"You slapped me." Ash accused.

"Only because I was caring for Pikachu."

"And you shouted at me."

"You ruined my bike!"

"I love it when you say that." Ash reached over with his free hand and pinched Misty's cheek playfully.

Misty raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well you got your bike back." Ash flustered.

"Eventually." Misty pointed out.

"You always have to make an argument of everything, don't you?"

"Quit the flirting. You don't sound like the Ash I know."

"Are you saying I'm dumb?"

"Yes, Pokemon Master. But it's cute when you are."

"Hey, you called me a Pokemon Master!" Ash beamed at his girlfriend.

"Ok, bring the smart Ash back." Misty groaned.

Ash grinned, pulling Misty closer to him. She sighed softly, resting her head against Ash's chest.

"You know, no matter how many times we break up, we'll always meet again." Misty murmured.

"Yeah. We'll have a big family with twenty kids." Ash joked.

"You weirdo. You do realise the females have the worst job?" Misty scowled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't kill me." Ash held up his hands.

"I didn't bring my mallet, don't worry."

"I thought you said you bring it everywhere with you."

"Not on a date, you idiot."

The two went quiet for a moment, taking in the scenery around them. The sky had darkened, but the moon and stars glowed brightly.

"You do know how much I love you, right?"

"Are you about to break up with me?" Misty moved away from Ash.

"No. Just some mushy pick up lines coming up next."

"Just skip to the love confession. I don't like pick up lines."

"Ok. If I had to choose between you and my dream of becoming a Pokemon Master…"

Misty stared up into Ash's eyes.

"You sure this isn't a pick up line?" She giggled.

"No. And I'd choose you." Ash grinned.

Misty smiled.

"Because for you I will."

TO BE CONTINUED…

In the sequel: The Cost Of Happiness, Ikarishipping.

Full summary: Sequel to For You I Will. She's the sweet innocent girl. She's befriended the lonely secretary and can win every heart in the school with a wink. He's the loner, mysterious, yet intriguing. He may be in the popular group, but he's definitely not the one that stands out. Dawn and Paul. When they feel the sparks, will they be able to keep them? Ikarishipping, contestshipping and pokeshipping. Slight oldrivalshipping, questshipping. Not AU but canon.

A/N: THE END! SORT OF! Woop Woop! I just wanted to say a thank you to my family, my friends, my readers, my reviewers…..

THE LIST GOES ON.

I am so proud of this fan fic. It was the first one after all. And I can't wait to write the next one! So much DRAMA!

Also, some of the things in this that are unfinished will carry on next. Of course, ikarishipping, duh, since it is the main ship. Also, oldrivalshipping will be seen too. We didn't really stretch out on that one much, which was intended, since it will build up a bit on the main plot in TCOH. Also more of Misty and Ash's new job. But it was sort of made to keep them out the way. Sorry! But it had to be done. Contestshipping will also take a dramatic turn. Ha ha cliffy…..but I can't tell you guys. Questshipping will be taken out slightly too, but will return in the third and final part of the trilogy, May and Drew's part. Still not found a name for it. I was thinking, either Promise Me or It Was Always You. Please review on which name sounds better. I'm leaning slightly towards the latter. Eh, you're the readers. You guys have better taste than me.

Please review follow and favourite! The new series will come out very soon!

Thank you for supporting me in writing this series! And thank you for reading this far!
