Ash's Heart
Chapter 4
By Kasumi Yawa
"So Eric how is school going? Are you doing well?" Ash asked his son. Ash had called his son Eric on the telephone. His son was surprised yet kept it hidden. Eric was forced to grow up fast and was pretty mature and well older in his years than a normal 7-year-old, because never being able to be raised by a father.
"It's great dad. I got an A on my Pokemon matching test. I'm pretty way above the class." Eric said to his father. Ash smiled, yet knew deep down he could never show the love and tenderness he offered. It reminded of *her* too much.
"I have an idea Eric. How about this summer you come and stay with me?" Ash said, desperately to gain some connection with his son. Eric's face brightened at his father's word. "Really dad? You mean it?" Eric asked excitedly. Ash noted how his son was like him. Always getting excited about everything. "Of course I mean it. You'll meet May, and we'll spend some quality time. Maybe you'll be good with Pokemon as your dad." Ash suggested. Eric's smile faded a bit at the mention of May, but he was eager to see his father. "I can't wait dad!" He replied.
After hanging up the phone, Ash sat back on his chair and sighed. He unbuttoned his collar button and sighed aloud. May entered the room and walked behind Ash, and began massaging his tensed muscles. She leaned down and whispered, "How would you like to relax with me?" Ash knew where May was leading too. He pushed himself away from her grasp. "I don't think your what I need to relax." Ash replied harshly. He didn't mean to be so harsh, but he hated everything about May. She was clingy and noisy. She only brought comfort in bed, and Ash was sick of all of it. He stood up and made May nearly trip. "I'm going for a walk." He said and walked out of his office and into the sunshine.
Misty had decided to get away from her responsibilities and go fishing. It was a hobby of hers she enjoyed since she was a little girl. It calmed her, and the silence and beauty of nature brought contentment. She sat on a log and set her fishing rod. She knew it would be awhile until she caught anything. She sighed and made herself comfortable. Her thoughts went back to the water ballet show, and the Ash. She didn't know what it was, but something of him made her go aroused. She had never seen a more handsome man! He was tall and fine. But his attitude and status were the things that made him so aggravating. She knew there was more to Ash Ketchum than he led on. There was something mysterious about him, she just could not figure out!
Ash walked by the lake and gazed at the beauty of the water. He seemed calmer, yet still had no answers. His thoughts were on his son. How would he be able to cope with the constant reminder. He loved his son, but how could he show it to him?
Ash walked on a bit and he glanced around and saw a sight! He saw Misty sitting on a log, with her eyes closed. He quietly walked over, and had the urge to kiss her, however he bent down and tapped her on the shoulder. Her eyes opened wide and saw a man leaning down. She gasped and Ash fell back in surprise, into the water. Misty sat up and saw Ash all wet in the lake. She gasped, but then burst out laughing at the sight. Ash became embarrassed and blushed. He then angrily growled and glared at her. "The least you can do is help me out." He growled. Misty continued laughing and got up and put her hands on her hips. "You probably scared all the fish away." He looked at her in amazement and she giggled. She pulled out her arm to help him out, when he got an idea. "How about if you join me?" He said with a smile, and before Misty could realize what he meant, he grabbed her outstretched arm, and pulled her into the water. She sputtered and shrieked as the cold water hit her body. It was Ash's turn to laugh. Misty looked at him in amazement. How different he looked when he smiled. He looked like a child. However, she realized he was laughing at her, and frowned. She then retaliated and began splashing him. They got into a splashing fight for awhile, laughing and shrieking away.
Back at the hotel, May was desperate to find Ash. She paced around the room waiting for word from him, and becoming more furious with each passing minute.
After a good splash fight, the two walked to Misty's gym to clean up. They were soaked to the bone, but they didn't mind. They walked on, laughing and joking around. When they got to Misty's gym, both took quick showers and Misty gave Ash some old clothes that belonged to her father. She dressed into some sweats, and the two sat with a cup of tea and talked awhile.
"So how long have you been a gym leader?" Ash wanted to know.
"Well, my sisters ran the gym, but they made it look like a joke. So when I was around 12, I took the gym and made it what it is today. What's it like being the Pokemon Master?" Misty asked.
"Well everyone thinks it's this magnificent job. But it isn't. It's hard work, but I enjoy it. It's what I wanted since I could remember." He explained. Misty nodded understandably. A comfortable silence entered the room, and Misty sighed. She looked up and met Ash's gaze. They leaned closer, closer until they could feel each other's breath, until they heard a door close. They jerked away quickly.
"Misty! We're home!"
Misty's sisters had come home, and Misty called. "In here!" The three sisters walked into the living room, and noticed a stranger, a very handsome stranger sitting beside Misty. They then noticed Misty's and the stranger's wet hair. Daisy raised her eyebrows. "I hope we were interrupting anything?" She asked. Misty scowled. "Of course you didn't. Anyway, this Ash Ketchum. Ash these are my sisters, Violet, Daisy and Lily."
"Nice to meet you." Ash said. The sisters just nodded.
"I'm starving. How 'bout like some dinner?" Lily asked aloud. "Would you like to join us Ash?"
Ash was about to say no, when he looked at Misty, who was smiling and nodding. He smiled and accepted.
The dinner was wonderful. Ash had never had a better time. They laughed and told stories. What was most wonderful was being able to listen to Misty and seeing her face whenever Ash spoke. Ash felt that Misty knew who the real Ash was. She didn't pretend to listen. She cared, and sat and listened attentively. When Ash heard the clock on the wall, with the little Pudgy that cheeped, he knew it was late. He got up, and said. "I'd better be going. It's late." Misty's smile faded, and sat reluctantly. "I guess your right." Ash nodded a goodbye to the sisters, and Misty walked him to the door. "It was great tonight. I haven't had that much fun in awhile!" Ash said smiling. "Me neither." Misty replied. "I hope I can see you again." Ash said. Misty smiled. "Of course! I hope so too." She said. Ash nodded and walked out waving over his shoulder to Misty. Misty waved back and closed the door. She leaned against the door, and bit her lip. She smiled and walked to her bedroom.
Ash walked back to the hotel, dancing and running all at the same time. He never felt more content in his life. He never had such a feeling of appreciation and gratitude for a person than Misty. It seemed that life was giving him a second chance. When he got to his room, he walked in and saw May pacing back and forth. She looked up and saw him. He wasn't wearing his clothes, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Where have you been?" She asked firmly. Ash's smile faded and he frowned.
"I was out." He said flatly.
"You could have told me! I could have gone with you! How dare you go without me!" May spoke sharply.
Ash had enough.
"That's it May! I should have done this awhile ago. We are through!" Ash said quite relived, yet quite sternly. May gasped.
"How dare you! You can't leave me!" She said.
"Yes I can. Now, get out!" He said harshly. May looked at him with her mouth wide open. She closed her mouth, and walked out in strides with her head held high. She slammed the door. For the first time in a long time, Ash knew he did something right. Something he wanted to do.
I know it was awhile for me to update. I just don't feel like writing. But I decided to update! Hope you enjoyed it. Please review! It would mean so much to me!
