~@~
It's been almost three years, and Ash hasn't confronted Misty. She knows Ash wants her, but he has always been too afraid to admit that he loves her. Misty has tried to hint to him that he doesn't have to be afraid to reveal his true feelings to Misty. Of course, they are only young, but by the way Misty is sensing it, he's afraid of commitment. Well Misty isn't…
Misty talk to his mother, Mrs. Ketchum today and finally built up the courage to inform her of the situation. She strongly approved and promised that she would try and get through to Ash, somehow. Then Misty decided to let Bock know, even though you would think after all this time, he would have figured it out. Brocks like cupid, always on the look out for love.
Brock: I know how you feel Misty. And I know how Ash feels about you.
Misty looked up from the ground to his face as though searching for a sign of hope.
Misty: Really, he does…I mean how do you know?
Misty pleaded.
Brock: Well…. He has always had a special place in his heart for you. Ash talks non-stop, sometimes I even hear him talking in his sleep about you.
This was what Misty was hoping to hear; it was music to her ears.
Misty: Oh, what am I going to do Brock?
Misty: I feel that Ash and I are meant to be. But how?
Brock brought his hand to his lips in deep thought.
Brock: Hmmmm…
He gave a little smile.
Brock: Just leave it all up to me, Misty. In the mean time why don't you go and see a movie, relax or even take your pokemon to the lake on the edge of town. Go fishing or something.
Misty stood up with a smile.
Misty: That's a good idea, thank you Brock.
As Misty was strolling down the street towards the lake at the edge of town, she noticed a familiar face approaching her.
Stranger: Misty, long times no see.
The person looked very familiar, the beautiful green eyes, the tall slender muscular body and the distinguished face with his silky shoulder length blue hair. Misty searched her mind to determine who ever it was. It was strange that this person knew her, just by looking at her and yet she could not recognize the face. Then one name came to mind.
Misty: James? Is it really you?
Misty shyly asked.
James: You've remembered, it's been so long, I thought you've forgotten me and yet….
James placed his hands in front of Misty admiring how beautiful she looked.
James: … You look so…. You've grown and you look so beautiful…. You haven't changed.
James smartly commented. Misty looked upon James and scanned his body from head to foot. She was also amazed and had the exact same thoughts about James, but her love for Ash kept her back from saying such things… even though she was strongly intrigued by the sound of James's voice and his solid figure. Misty blushed.
James: Why thank you James that was so sweet of you.
At that moment Misty suddenly felt a bit insecure like some one was watching her. In the corner of her eye she could see Ash with Pikachu on his shoulder starring at her from across the street. Ash could see that she was blushing, and Misty could see that Ash had this disturbing expression on his face as though he had just lost a pokemon battle. But she knew he was angry about something, maybe the thought of Misty being chattered up by some guy that Ash could see was better looking then him self. Misty knew that there was only one man in her life and that was Ash. So she knew what she had to do, but before she could say anything, James immediately pounced in.
James: So you got a boyfriend yet? Because if you're not doing anything tonight… I was hoping we could go to dinner
James pleaded quite calmly. She knew what she had to say.
Misty: Well the thing is James…. I already do have a boyfriend.
She could see Ash sitting on the curve with his face in his arms and lap and Pikachu in front of him. Misty glanced at James and she could see, on his face, a sign of disappointment.
Misty: You OK?
James: Yeah I'm fine. Well maybe we could… you know go for some ice cream?
Misty: Yeah, sure that'll be nice. Well got to go. See you around.
Misty made her way across the street towards Ash still mopping on the curve.
Pikachu: Pikaaaaa, Pika Pi. Ash, Misty is coming
Misty couldn't understand what Pikachu was saying. She sat down close beside him.
Misty: Now what's the matter Ash Ketchum?
Ash started shaking in the hands slightly,
Ash: Nothing!
Misty could sense his tension and fear, let alone the jealousy.
Misty: Ash, I want you to come for a walk with me, I… I just want to talk.
Ash peeped up at Pikachu from his folded arms and gave a little smile.
Ash: Yeah ok, I'll come with you. Come on Pikachu.
Pikachu: Pika Pi. Let's go
Pikachu climbed on to Ash's shoulder.
Ash, Pikachu and Misty were approaching the lake.
Ash: Let's sit on that park bench.
Ash and Misty sat down next to each other and Misty released her pokemon for some relaxation
Misty: Why don't you do the same, Ash?
Misty suggested.
Ash: Yeah, good idea.
Ash quite happily released his pokemon too.
Ash: Why don't you go and play with the other pokemon Pikachu. Have some fun.
Pikachu smiled.
Pikachu: Pika- chu, OK Ash
And Pikachu willingly obeyed. With Pikachu off the park bench, Ash moved a little closer to Misty. Misty was aware that Ash was drawing him self closer, so she placed her arms out and placed her hands on the seat bringing her shoulders up a little.
Misty: This is really peaceful.
Misty commented.
Ash: Yeah, it's pretty refreshing.
Misty: So… What happened when you were sitting on the curve in the street? You looked as though something was really bothering you.
Ash gave a sigh and gulped a bit.
Ash: Well… If you really must know…. I…I…
Ash couldn't help stuttering. His words seamed to remain stuck on his tongue.
Misty: Know what?
Misty pleaded. Ash glanced into Misty's beautiful sky blue eyes, took in a deep breath and then let it all out in saying….
Ash: The thing is Misty…. I love you.
