Secret Intend2

The Cave

Last time, Ash, Misty, and Tracey went back to Melody's house to get Tracey's sketch. But it seems like Melody has some kind of plan towards the three people, what kind of plan will it be?

Next morning….

"Wake up Ashy!!" Melody came to Ash's room to wake him up.

"What??" Ash yawned as he struggled to wake up so early.

"Come on Ashy, don't you wanna know more about the pokemon match going on today?" Melody asked.

"What!? A pokemon match? When?" Ash sat up in his bed, all ears trying to see what's with the pokemon battle in the island.

"Let's talk about that later. First, why don't you come down to have breakfast?" Melody suggested.

As they walk toward the dining room, Melody holds onto Ash's arm. When she saw Misty is there, waiting for them, Melody holds on more tightly, that action makes Misty's jealousy once again glow.

Ash sat down, saying to Melody, "Will you let go of me now?"

"I was just trying to see if you are like one of our finest trainers in here, to see if you are muscular." Melody came up with an excuse.

"Really? Then..am I muscular enough?" Ash asked.

Misty thought as she pour the milk in her cereal, 'how dumb can he be? He actually believe THAT excuse!'

"Ash, if you are muscular, it's only because you are dreaming, wake up." Misty said.

"I am muscular, Melody said so!!" Ash disagreed.

"No you are not!"

"Yes I am!!"

"Will you two knock it off? We are the guests here, it's not like it's our own place, so just stop it, you don't wanna wake up the other people!" Tracey settles the fight.

"Anyway, why don't we just go to the pokemon battle by our tribe after breakfast?" Melody asked.

The group all agreed on that suggestion and quickly finished the breakfast.

***********************************************************

"Pi pikachu!" Pikachu got excited when viewing the battle between Persian and Blastoise.

"I've got to get into one of these match!!" Ash said and attempts to run up to the battlefield.

"No! You can't battle unless you are one of our tribe members!" Melody stopped him.

"But I wanna battle!" Ash said.

"Quit acting like a baby, Ash! If the rule says you can't battle, you can't!" Misty looks at him with anger.

"What's with you, Misty? You are acting strange today." Ash said.

"I've got to sketch this moment!" Tracey took out his sketchbook.

"What's so special about this moment? Don't sketch! And if you can't stand my temper, fine! Be that way! I don't need you!" Misty said and runs back to the house.

Everybody were surprised in Misty's reaction. Only Melody was smiling and they continues watching the match.

*************************************************************

"Why don't you guys come to the fair tonight? There's special event going on with our annual fair! You guys are lucky, I was hoping to go all year!" Melody got all excited about tonight's activity.

"Sure! I hope there's food!" Ash said.

The group when to the fair, there's a cave that's for couples who want to test whether they truly love each other or not.

"Let's try that one!" Melody points out.

"But none of us are couples!" Misty said, who's reluctant to go in.

'Oh there will be, don't you worry Misty." Melody had a little thought before they go in.

"Hey! Maybe there's some kind of pokemon in there!" Tracey wants to see if he can sketch something in the cave.

"Oh boy! I can't wait! Let's go guys!" Ash hopes to see if there's rare pokemon in the cave.

"But…." Misty tries to make excuses but cannot think of one.

The man who greets them tells them the rules of going in the cave, he said, "Okay, which two of you are going to go in together?"

"Wanna go with me, Ash?" Melody asked.

"Sure….I guess." Ash said.

"Go all you want, let's go Tracey!" Misty went in with Tracey angrily.

As Misty and Tracey walk in, Ash looks at Misty and hesitated for a while, but Melody pulls Ash's jacket and hurry him to go in. Melody seems to be very happy and intended to do something at the same moment. 'You guys would never expected this!'

"What's so special about this? Just a normal cave!" Misty wondered, talking to Tracey.

"You are right, there's nothing around…" Tracey said.

Each pair who went in has a candle, to lead their way to the cave, which is getting darker and darker as they went in more.

Suddenly, the light goes out. All there are is darkness. Misty screams, trying to find Tracey. Finally, she grabbed on his arms and holds him tight. Tracey said, "Don't worry Misty, but how will we get out?"

On the other hand, Melody and Ash were walking in, Melody said, " I thought you want to go in with Misty, so why didn't you ask her?"

"No way! What makes you think so?" Ash blushes.

"Well, I thought she's your girlfriend, isn't she?" Melody asked even though she knows what his answer will be.

"Are you out of your mind? You must be crazy!" Ash yelled.

"I was just asking, you don't have to be over reacted." Melody smiles.

They walked in slowly, they found out that the cave leads to the cave(route) that Misty and Tracey went through.

"This is strange, I thought there's only one way, I wanna go home, let's go find Misty." Ash rushes in the cave.

They went to the path, finally, they found someone in the dark who's helping each other on the shoulder. With closer look, Ash found that it was Misty and Tracey.

Misty and Tracey were holding each other's hands. This made Ash confused.

"What, what are you two doing?" Ash asked, shaking (his body).

"Oh nothing, we just help each other to find the exit, that's all, how did you two went to our path anyway?" Misty asked.

"We find paths that crosses with the other caves, and just HAPPEN to see you two held each other's hands SO tightly, huh Ashy?" Melody said.

Ash cannot say a word, nodding, but still surprising with the scene.
