Denial
"They are for Misty, am I right?"
His eye twitched as he breathed heavily. It wasn't a secret, but it didn't mean it was any of Brock's business.
Ash folded his arms. "They could be for Mom or even Nurse Joy!"
Brock refused to acknowledge his weak denial.
Ash had seen the red flowers with the spiral pink trim and thought they were beautiful. All girls liked flowers, so by default Misty would too. At least, he hoped that was true. Him trying to subtly ask Brock about it had failed.
"You know, I am helping you out because Misty doesn't like flowers. Buying her some water pokemon trading cards is better. Not that it's any of my business ..." The older boy's voice trailed, baiting Ash to beg for more information.
"Wa-wait what type should I get her!?" He ignored the smirk on Brock's face for his need to know was far greater than his pride.
"Aw, so you admit you need my help."
Ash's frustration came out in the form of a low growl, but he wouldn't deny the help.
