Hello again, my fellow Pokeshippers! Welcome to the monumental thirtieth chapter of this series, 151 Pokeshipping Stories. For all of the past twenty-nine Saturdays, I've told a variety of fantastic Pokeshipping tales for you to read. And for reaching a significant milestone, I knew I had to do something special for you all. Now, this story was initially planned for number twenty-five, as that number is significant for whose perspective this is in. But alas, that chapter fell on Mother's Day, and I had to push it back in favor of Mother Delia. And you know how much I LOVE pushing things back. But here is my idea, finally out for you guys! Get ready to experience the evolution of Ash and Misty's relationship from Pikachu's perspective! I hope you all enjoy it! Now let's go!
It can always be hard being the third wheel in a relationship. I can see why some people think that is the case, but I, on the other hand, am okay with it. It is beautiful to see the power couple of the Kanto region grow up together and fall in love after several years of being together. This is especially true if the male end of it is my best friend and master for just as long as he knew his girlfriend. Who am I, you might be asking yourself? Well, my name is Pikachu. Yes, THAT Pikachu. The Pikachu that has helped Ash the Orange League. The one who has defeated many legendary Pokemon in battle. And the one Team Rocket tries to steal on an almost weekly basis for nearly a quarter of a century. But enough about me. This story is about my trainer and his future wife. This is the evolution of Ash and Misty's relationship through my own eyes.
The story of Pokeshipping began the same day that my trainer left on his Pokemon Journey, April 1st, 1997. I was not a massive fan of my trainer at the time, but I had no choice but to be with him. During one of our struggles, we both ended up falling into a river and almost ended up drowning. However, we were saved just in time by a fisher with orange hair, green eyes, and a fit body. She was Ash's age, and as we would find out later, her name was Misty Waterflower. Misty was surprised that she fished up a human and his Pokemon partner instead of a water type like she was looking to catch that day when she reeled us out of the river.
"Woah!" Misty said, "A boy?!"
Ash looked up at her, "Oh, hey there!" He then looked around, "Hurry, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Why?" Misty asked at him, confused.
Ash explained how he stupidly threw a rock at a Spearow when I refused to weaken him for my trainer. He then told Misty how the Spearow got angry and began chasing Ash.
"That's awful!" Misty said, "How much longer until the Spearow catch up to us?!"
Ash looked at the sky as it suddenly turned dark, as all of the normal and flying-typed Pokemon were blocking out the sun along with the grey clouds. "They are here right now! Quick, we need to get out of here right now before the storm of Spearow comes!"
He then grabbed her hand and ran off.
"Wait," Misty said, "My bike!"
"We will go back to reclaim it once this whole fiasco is over!" Ash said as the two ran as fast as they could away from the Spearow. However, they were soon cornered. Even though I wasn't really fond of the two trainers who were in trouble, I knew I had to save them. So I jumped off of Ash's shoulder and shocked the storm of Spearows with my Thundershock attack. And as the rain was starting to fall, I ended up knocking them all out… and my trainer and his friend unconscious.
Luckily, Ash and Misty were both able to recover within a couple of hours, just as the sun came back into the sky and a rainbow formed.
"What happened?" Misty asked as she and Ash rubbed their heads.
"I think my partners saved us," Ash said as he smiled at me. "Thank you, Pikachu!" He pets my head, and I purred happily.
"Ash?" Misty asked, "What's that?" She then pointed out a golden Pokemon flying in the sky.
"That is Ho-oh," Ash said, "It is said whoever sees it is guaranteed eternal happiness."
"Really?!" Misty asked, "That's cool! I wonder what my eternal happiness is!"
"How about we journey together to try and find the answer?" My trainer suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Misty said, "Let's go! Viridian City is not that far away!"
Ash smiles as I got back onto his shoulder, and we headed off to Viridian City!
Ash and Misty have been traveling together for a few months when we arrived in a town called Maiden's Peak. It was around this time when a festival was going on. My trainer and his companion decided to partake in it. It was late at night, and I was right beside Ash. He was wearing a light blue kimono while he was waiting for Misty to get ready.
"Does this look good on me, Pikachu?" Ash asked me. I took a good look at it.
"I think it does," I said to him, "I just hope that Misty thinks you look cute in it."
Ash's cheeks were soon as red as mine, and just as soon as he was going to say that Misty did not like him THAT much, Misty walked towards the two of us. She was wearing a gorgeous pink kimono. Ash looked at it and blushed even more.
"Ash," Misty said to him, "Are you ready? The celebration is about to start."
"Of course," Ash said with a smile on his face, "I am born ready to party on with you tonight!" Misty chuckled at his enthusiasm. "That's great to hear," she said. Then they made their way to where everyone else was, and I was right behind them. We then had a fun night, and it was the most fun night Ash and Misty had together on their journey thus far… and we could only get better days.
After nearly a year together, we have finally made it to the Kanto League, and Ash was determined to win! However, he lost to another trainer named Richie. This was because of a combination of poor reffing and Ash's Charizard deciding to fall asleep in the middle of the match. He cried for a long time outside of the Indigo Leauge Stadium, and no matter what I did, nothing could cheer my trainer up. I then went up to Misty.
"He is still upset?" she asked me.
I nodded, knowing that she could not understand Pokemon language.
Misty sighed. "How about if I try and cheer our friend up?"
I nod, as that was a good idea. We then went up to the still crying trainer from Pallet Town.
"Whatever you want to say to me, Misty," Ash said through his tears, "I do not want to hear it. Go away!"
"No," Misty said. "When my best friend is sad, I am sad as well. And we both know how we feel when our friends are sad."
Ash eventually looked up at Misty and wiped the tears out of his eyes. "Go on…" he said.
"Not everyone wins the first time they do something, Ash," Misty said. "And that means you only have room to improve yourself."
Ash smiled and nods, "That's right, Misty!"
"That is why I plan on staying by your side for the rest of your journey until you win an official league!"
"Thanks," Ash said as he threw his arms around the orange-haired girl. "Anyways, what do you think is a good league to follow up on?"
Misty thought about it for a few moments and suggested that my trainer takes on the Johto League, in the region right next door.
"Great idea!" Ash said, "Come on! Let's go prepare for the Johto League! I know we can win it!"
I smiled as we made our way back to Pallet Town so that Ash could train up for the Johto League.
Unfortunately, Ash did not win the Johto League like he was hoping. But at least he placed better than he did in the Kanto League. (He got in the top 8 in Johto while he was in the top 16 in Kanto.) He even got a good cash prize for his high placement. Right now, Misty, Ash, and I are in Viridian City before we go back to Pallet Town. Misty had to take a call at the Pokemon Center, leaving us time to spend the money that Ash one.
"How do you think Misty will react if we get her a new bike?" I suggested it to my trainer. After spending two years on the road together, we could understand one another perfectly, and we used it to our full advantage.
"I think that is a good idea," Ash said with a smile, "The bike shop is just around the block! Let's go!"
I smiled, and we went off. An hour later, we returned with the bike to the Pokemon Center, where Misty was sitting outside. She did not look delighted. In fact, she was rather sad.
"Misty?" Ash asked his human friend, "What is wrong?"
Misty looked up at him and sighed. "You know how my sisters are the gym leaders of Cerulean City gym?"
"Yeah?" Ash said, "So?"
"They just got fired from their post for poor performance," Misty explained. "They had only one win in their last 50 matches."
"So?" Ash asked, "How does that affect us?"
"It means that I have to go and fill the post at the gym," Misty said as more tears rolled down her cheek, "Which means I cannot travel with you for the next region… or any other region after that…"
Ash was shocked. He also began to cry. "Well, I guess that this is goodbye, Misty," he said. The two then shared a big hug before separating.
"I got you something for you to get to your new post faster," Ash said. He then gave her the bike that he bought.
"A new bike?!" Misty asked my raven-haired trainer.
"Yep," Ash said with a smile, "I noticed that you had a bike that you left behind when we first met by the river."
"So you got me a new one?" Misty asked the trainer from Pallet Town.
"I sure did," Ash said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Ash!" Misty said before hopping on the bike, "I will miss you with all of my heart, Ash!"
"Me too!" Ash said.
"Don't forget me, either, Misty!" I chimed in.
"Yeah, don't forget about Pikachu, either!" Ash hollered.
"I WON'T!" Misty said as she rode off into the sunset on her bike. We stood there for a full minute before Ash sighed.
"Come on, Pikachu, let's go home!" Ash said to me.
"I agree, Ash," Let's head home.
It would be another five years until Ash, and I saw the Cerulean girl again. We went through Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos and competed in the leagues there. But we lost every single time, coming in the top 8, top 4, top 8, and runner-up, respectively. We were now in the Alola region, where Ash decided to get serious with his goal of being a Pokemon Master and learn more about Pokemon. So he enrolled himself at the Pokemon School of Melemele Island, where trainers and their Pokemon learn together. Although I missed the thrill of battles that we get a lot less of as students, I am still happy with Ash's choice to further his education on Pokemon.
Anyways, you might be wondering what all of this has to do with Misty. You see, about three months into the school year, Professor Kukui, Ash's teacher, announced he was taking his class on a field trip to the Kanto region. Everyone was excited to go, but my trainer was especially.
"When are we going to go?!" Ash asked.
"In about a week," Kukui said, "Everyone, please make sure to make your parents or guardians sign the permission slips!"
Ash's classmates nodded as they were handed permission slips to give their parents to sign.
A week later, we were finally back in the Kanto region. The first stop was Professor Oak's lab, where he planned on having Ash's classmates meet some of the Pokemon Ash befriended during his travels through the Kanto region. However, when they arrived, the first friend of his Ash saw was not one of his Pokemon at all!
"MISTY?!" Ash asked, "IS THAT YOU?!"
Misty, who was talking to Oak, took a look at my trainer.
"ASH?!" she asked, "IS THAT YOU?!"
Ash had a long time recovering from his state of shock, so I went up to Misty and rubbed my head on her leg.
"And hello to you, too, my Pikapal!" Misty said to me. I smiled as the name as the Cerulean Gym Leader rubbed her hand on my head. I purred as Ash recovered from his state of shock.
"Yeah, it is me," Ash said, "Anyways, what brings you here, Misty?"
Misty blushes, "Well, over the past five years, I was a successful gym leader. However, being in the gym denied me one thing: true eternal happiness. So I decided to talk to Professor Oak and other League officials about me deciding to quit the gym so I can start to travel with you again…"
Ash was silent again. "Wait…" he said, "You are giving up the highest post in the city just so you can be with me?!"
Misty blushes and nods. "Of course, sweetie!" she said, "And there is one more thing I wanted to tell you…"
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"Well…" Misty said as she leaned into Ash and kisses him on the lips much to his shock. But he did not push her away. In fact, Ash did the opposite. He returned the kiss to Misty.
"Misty, I love you very much!" my trainer said.
"As do I, Ash!" Misty said.
I smiled as my best friend was going to be going on adventures with Misty again.
And from there, their relationship only grew and grew until Ash finally popped the question to her. That question, of course, was if Misty was willing to be his wife. She said yes, and the wedding happened not long afterward. They then went on their honeymoon and invited me to join in the fun. I have had a lot of fun with my trainer and his girlfriend so far, and with triplets on the way for them, life can only get more chaotic. I am sure it will all work out in the end as long as I am with Ash and Misty.
And that is the thirtieth chapter of my series! Now, before we wrap this up, I have an announcement for you guys that all of you should hear. From this moment forward, only people who have an account on this website will be allowed to leave reviews on my stories. Over the last month, I have gotten several mean reviews left by guests, mainly Amourshippers. They have criticized me for leaving mean reviews on Amourshipping works. Look, I only did it on that Spanish Amourshipping "story" because it had content that was not allowed on this website. THAT'S. IT! I just wanted the author to follow the rules so it cannot be banned. Now, if you Amourshippers wish to keep attacking me, make an account, so I cannot delete them and hide them from the public. Oh, wait, you won't because you Amourtards are nothing but a bunch of chickens who are terrified of the biggest and best Pokeshipper on the site!
Anyways, the question for this chapter is if you can have anyone as a third wheel in your romantic relationship, who would it be. I am not sure to be one hundred percent honest. I cannot wait to see who you guys would pick, though. Anyways, I will be back next week for a special chapter for both Father's Day and something else. I will see you all next time, the third wheel is sometimes the most important, and dare to Pokeship!
