Awww. This is the last chapter. Anyway here is Zenith I hope you enjoy. I do not own pokemon.

Misty sighed. Sure she was a good gym leader but they always seemed to beat her. For some reason, she was never at her zenith, aka her highest peak. Maybe she should train her pokemon more. She didn't want to be known as the easiest to defeat gym leader like her sisters were.

"Misty are you okay?" Ash said swimming over to her. She shook her head, he rested his arms at the edge of the swimming pool and looked up ant her. She hadn't been like herself since yesterday, when she lost against the latest challenger. She didn't want to help feed her pokemon last night and she wasn't even swimming in the pool, she just had her feet dipped in the pool.

"yeah, Ash I'm okay. Why would you think otherwise?" Misty said, smiling. Ash however saw straight through her smile.

"because you aren't swimming with me."

"Maybe I don't want to swim." Ash looked at her concerned. She looked away. She couldn't stand it when he looked at her like that.

However, that was something she should not have done.

Why? You may ask.

Well let's just say, Ash did something that really pissed her off.

Grabbed her ankles, and pulled her into the pool.

Misty gasped as she felt the cold water surround her body and splash her in the face. She grabbed the side of the poll and attempted to climb out of the pool, when Ash grabbed her waist and dragged her back into the pool.

"What the- ASH! Let go of me." She yelled as she squirmed in his arms. Ash shook his head stubbornly.

"No." Misty growled

"Why not?" she snarled, while kicking his legs but Ash wasn't letting go.

"You've not been yourself since yesterday. You didn't want to go feed the pokemon, you didn't want to swim and you usually could fight me off but you can't. What is going on!" Ash yelled. Misty stopped squirming and Ash let go of her. She just floated in the water, she didn't move an inch.

Ash cautiously swam over to face her and was surprised at what he saw.

Tears rolling down Misty's face.

He grabbed her arm.

"Hey what's wrong?" his voice gentle.

"I'm not at my zenith. Usually I am but last night. Last night, that guy defeated me so easily."

"Zenith? What's that? Anyway don't worry, he was really powerful."

"Zenith means highest point, Ash. He wasn't powerful, I was weak" Ash looked at her shocked.

"Misty , you're not weak."

"Then why did I lose the battle then? I didn't train my pokemon hard enough Ash, corsola needs more train actually so does-" Misty rambled on until Ash interrupted her by placing his hands firmly on her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

He looked at her for a second before slowly placing his lips onto hers.

Misty's eyes widened, was this Ash? Ash, who she argued with? And he was kissing her?

His lips were wet and cold but so were hers. Okay not as cold as his but still, cold. Misty closed her eyes as Ash wrapped his arms around her waist.

They remained kissing for at least another minute when Ash pulled away.

"Um." Was all Ash said, avoiding her eyes. She was probably going to call him an idiot now and insult him. However what she said, completely surprised him.

"Thank you." Misty said, her cheeks turning pink.

"W-what f-f-or?" Ash stuttered out.

"For making me feel zenith."
