will never belong to me. ;-; I only own a strange little bird, but you dont
want him. ^^ But the characters that were created out of my own imagination
were Racheal, Jason, and Aydee. ^^ Thankyou! ^-^

Ash gave her an excited grin as she pointed at him, using all the strength possessed in his body not to jump up and run around more excited then a man who'd won a million dollars.
"By Gosh! And I could have sworn she was pointing at Pikachu." Brock said with a thick sarcasm in his voice.
Pikachu looked at Brock.
'I thought so too. Heh.' Pikachu mumbled before looking up at Ash. He stuck his claws out threateningly.
'Run...And then you be scratched.' Pikachu held his claws closer to Ash's face.
Ash was far to excited to even notice if Pikachu electrocuted him. The crowd cheered on Ash and he felt as if he were in a different world. His own world. Of course Ash knew secretly that she wouldn't pick anyone BUT him, but he still couldn't help but slightly worry if she didn't pick him.
Misty could have sworn he was going to run away from the way he got so incredibly excited..She mouthed "Thank you" to him as the music began.
Ash was completely in a different world and probably the happiest teenager alive. He knew he shouldn't make a big deal out of it.. Afterall, him and Misty were just best friends. Yeah. Right. As they both grew, so did their love for eachother. It came a lot easier for both of them do to innocent flirting as they got older. They both also learned not to make big deals out of nothing. Like if he kissed her forehead, Misty did her best not to make a big deal out of it and think that he was madly in love with her.
"She...picked.... ME!" He managed to say out of excitement.
Pikachu rolled his eyes.
'I bet if you weren't here she would have picked me.' Pikachu giggled.
Ash kept his eyes directly on Misty, ignoring both Pikachu and Brock, not even noticing that before the huge screen was showing his overjoyed face to nearly ten thousand people. He didn't care either.
'Okay..I'm just going to go up there, be the charmer that I am, and plainly dance with her. Nothing big. Maybe even 'wow' some girls in the audience. Heh.'
He took in deep long breaths to relax himself before he had another nervous breakdown.
'Okay okay.. Think.. Now.. Lets see.. Girl likes boy, boy eventually likes girl..Boy cheats on girl.. aw, how sad.. But the best part, girl picks me to be new boyfriend..Hah! And now Jason is incredibly angry at dear ol' charming and extremely cute Ash. Oh boy. I think someone is feeling ugly. Heh.'
Ash was acting as silly as he was excited. [authors note: you may want to have "Once In A Blue Moon" by Sydney Forests playing. ^^ It may be a hard song to find, though. :x]
The room is melting.. The lights are dim, and my heart wonders If I'll ever see you again..
This was the song Misty was singing, trying to prove her 'love' to Ash. He could tell she was by far more nervous then how she had started out.
My tears are hungry.. For an open door.. When your arms held me.. I never felt this way before.
Brock looked them over and the look they were giving eachother. Misty looked into Ash's deep brown, meaningful eyes which gave her the strength to sing the song as best as she possibly could, and even if she messed up she wouldn't care because she would still be looking into his eyes.
My tears are hungry.. For an open door.. When your arms held me.. I never felt this way before.
And I'll be waiting..And I'll be watching under a blue moon. The taste of heaven only happens once in a blue moon.
"I said it once..And I'll say it again...", Brock began, "Unbelievable. They look at eachother like it's the first time they were in any human contact with eachother." He muttered.
Do you remember when the wind blew free?.. We fit together so naturally.
'MIST! What are you doing! Your looking at him like he's CHOCOLATE
PUDDING, for goodness sakes.' She scolded herself, in her mind.
And I'll be waiting.. And I'll be watching under a blue moon.. The taste of heaven.. Only happens once in a blue moon.
'Look away.. come on.. Look away..You can do it, Mist...'
If the wind closes the door.. People open another..
By some strange higher power, she managed to tear her eyes away from his, but with just a short matter of time she'd find herself looking into his eyes once more.
And I'll be waiting.. And I'll be watching under a blue moon.. The taste of heaven.. Only happens once in a blue moon.
She couldn't believe she had finally managed to finish the song. It was such a relieving moment. That meant she had to stop looking at Ash, right? Wrong.
He couldn't help but smile confidently at the almost magical effect he had on her. He was a charmer alright.. He was a charmer.
"Well. I cant say you've looked at anyone the way you look at her. Well maybe you look at yourself that way, but hey, what can you do?" Brock said with a snicker.
"I'll ignore that, Brock. I can do nothing but pity you and your large amount of jealousy towards me." Ash said quite confidently and turned his attention back to Misty.
Racheal went up to Misty and took off her microphone headpiece and put it on her own head.
"Give him a big kiss for me. Now let me go get that boy up here to dance with you. And don't worry about him suddenly getting extremely nervous and running off." Racheal said almost below a whisper, with a small giggle as she pointed towards one side of the stage. The audience couldn't see it, but there stood duck tape and crazy glue.
"That's my Racheal." Misty smiled confidently as Racheal walked up and greeted the audience.
"Now..If I may please have your attention.." Racheal began. The crowd slowly brought their attention towards Racheal as silence spread. It was almost scary how quickly everyone gave their attention to Racheal. The silence added to the spookiness.
"I will be singing the last song of the night..And Misty and err....the chosen one will dance." Racheal's voice echoed through the deadly silent stadium. The bright smile on her face brought more comfort to the audience. It was almost like they were upset it was almost over and they didn't want to miss a thing. Not a thing.
"And a big thank you to all of you for coming.. The music, please..And..err... The chosen boy.." Racheal motioned for Ash to get up and walk up the stage. He merely nodded in response.
Misty smoothed the the white dress with her hands that she wore before, as if the white satin had any wrinkles. As Ash made his way onto the stage it seemed to be the longest walk of his life.
Misty waited on the stage looking like a nervous wreck with her eyes closed. Some of the audience wondered if she was doing meditation to calm herself. She acted as if she was actually afraid he wouldn't come, until she remembered the crazy glue and duck tape. Ash looked over her worried face and couldn't help but smile. He decided to finally make himself known.
He gently allowed his arms to linger on her waist as her eyes slowly opened and a smile spread across her face. He lead her around the dance floor.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, giggling softly.
"What's so funny?" He asked, almost below a whisper as the music began.
"Here I am..Thinking you wouldn't make it. And relax. You can talk as loudly as your vocal cords will stretch, and no one will hear you without the microphone.."
"Oh..Heh.."
[authors note: i think you'll like this part of the story more if you have "Heart Of Innocence" by Jessica Simpson playing. ^^]
Sometimes I wake up in the dark night. And in my mind there's a picture of you. I know someday this dream will come alive. So, for now your shadow will do.
"I cant believe you." He attempted to say without the smile twitching at his lips.
I've never seen your face but I know you're in my heart. Baby, someday, some place, I'll hold you in my arms.
"What?" She seemed a little offended.
I have a gift for you. Something I've held on to. Waiting for your sweet caress. (Sweet caress.)
"Nice duck tape and crazy glue. My Gosh, you've gotten violent. You thought I would run, eh?" He smiled even wider when she saw her blush.
No ribbon has been untied from all that I hold inside. And only you will possess this heart of innocence.
"You? Run? Never. You'd never be able to run with Pikachu doing thunder strike on you. You'd be too dead to run. Racheal was going to bring out a knife too, but I only let her keep the crazy glue and duck tape." Misty said as he finally let out a laugh.
I lay my head down on a pillow of white. Here in the dark, I am cradled in peace. No loss from yesterday to harm me at night. No tears to dry. No sad memories.
"You think I've gotten violent. You teaching Pikachu the ability to kill is beyond my knowledge. I have nightmares ever since you taught Pikachu that." Well, they were definatly attempting to keep the atmosphere comfortable.
There's a heart to hold and I will safely keep.. The strength that's in my soul until you come to me.
"Pikachu cant kill. Not yet. Do you ever wonder why Cassidy and Butch stay away from us?" He grinned evilly at her.
I have a gift for you. Something I've held on to. Waiting for your sweet caress. No ribbon has been untied from all that I hold inside.
Ash, finally listening to the lyrics to the song realized that it was actually Misty's favorite song.
And only you will possess this heart of innocence..
"Did you choose the last song..?" He asked.
She slowly nodded in response before laying her head on his chest. She inhaled his cologne, immediately becoming intoxicated in it. He could tell she was really tired..Or at least that's what he thought. He decided to get a better grip on her unless she suddenly decided to fall asleep on him.
"Falling asleep on me, Misty?" He smiled softly, allowing a small chuckle to escape his lips.
Every night I make a wish before I fall asleep. (I'll make a wish..) That destiny will take your hand and lead it to me. Ooh!
"Never."
I have a gift for you. Something I've held on to. Waiting for your sweet caress. (You know I'll be waiting here for you.)
He wasn't expecting her to reply that, but he went along with it anyway. He rested his chin on top of her head, enjoying the sweet smell of her hair.
No ribbon has been untied from all that I hold inside. And only you will possess this heart of innocence. Ohhh.. Ohhh...
They both wished they could turn back time over and over again to never let this dance end, but unfortunately, the world is an unfair place to be. The song ended as Ash took a step back from Misty, looking her in the eyes. As if on cue, when he leaned in to kiss her forehead Racheal whispered "I love you.." into the microphone. Misty looked star-struck, as well as most of the girls out of the audience who immediately fell in love with Ash.
"The brat. She doesn't deserve him." Aydee hissed and gave Misty another angry glare which clearly read 'I want you to die and have worms consume your flesh!' Aydee stood behind the black curtain, going unnoticed by the rest of the audience.
Jason looked Aydee over with a grin on his face.
"You know....", Jason began, but was taken aback by how started Aydee became.
"My God! Don't do that! You scared the living crap out of me, Jason!" Aydee snapped, putting her hand to her chest.
"Enough of that. Did you see what just happened? Misty looked like an awestruck teeny-bopper!" Anger and jealousy made itself known in Jason's eyes.
"Well you have to give him credit.. He is much more of a charmer then you." Aydee muttered.
Jason, finally managing to pull his eyes away from Ash and Misty, brought his attention back to Aydee.
"To change the horrible topic, what do you know?" Jason's angry eyes met Aydee's.
"I overheard them talking."
"Ok. I'll ask again, what do you know?" Jason tried to control his temper as he spoke to her.
"They will be staying in a hotel overnight..Bright and early tomorrow they will be going to Darkening City." Aydee equally tried as hard not to punch him right then and there.
"Don't you mean Darken City?"
Aydee shrugged.
"Whatever."
"Good enough. Let's go..We've got preparations to make. Many, many preparations." Jason laughed one of those ugly laughs that revealed the true evilness behind him.
Aydee rolled her eyes.
"Your such a criminal wannabe."
***
"So..Misty..It was fun.." Racheal managed to say, holding back her tears.
Misty smiled warmly at her.
"It's far from over, Rach. You seem to have forgotten.. I could have sworn that you asked me to get you a date with Ash..A date you want, a date you shall get."
Racheal laughed, but you could still see the sadness in her eyes.
"You have to go Misty..Back on the road with the future Pokemon Master. The big Pokemon Master has no time for dates."
"What about me?" A familiar voice asked both Misty and Racheal.
"Oh the ego of yours. Bigger then a mountain, honestly."
'I'm still cuter then him.. ' Pikachu said.
"Aww! A Pikachu!" Racheal, not caring whether the Pikachu was as wild as a lion, picked him up and hugged him.
"You are too cute!" Racheal happily cradled Pikachu in her arms.
'Told you..' Pikachu said with a snicker.
Ash shrugged. "At least I'm unique. I don't have hundreds of other yellow electric mouses looking like me.."
"Eh..Ash..So much for Pikachu being a killing pokemon.." Misty said as she looked over how peaceful Pikachu looked lying in Racheal's arms. Racheal immediately gave Misty a look of worry.
"Pikachu won't hurt you..Calm down." Misty laughed nervously, wondering what would happen if Pikachu actually hurt her.
"Tell me about it. What were you going to say when I was being referred to as 'The Pokemon Master'?" Ash ran a hand through his hair.
"Oh! Right..Would you mind if Racheal traveled with us for a couple of weeks? You know, to hang out a while?" Misty asked as her eyes pleaded with his.
Racheal almost dropped Pikachu at what Misty had asked Ash.
"I wouldn't mind.." Brock joined in, with a love sick look on his face as Racheal blushed.
'I don't see what's wrong with it.' Pikachu said softly, almost falling asleep.
"Since I'm obviously out numbered here, I guess I wouldn't mind either...Brock, did you manage to find Nurse Joy..Or Officer Jenny? Hmm? Did they both give you a big kiss on your purdy cheeks." Ash loved teasing Brock so much. It helped him forget about his own problems.
"Shut...up...Ash..."
Misty struggled not to laugh or else Brock would go crazy on Ash as well as her. Racheal seemed a bit confused at what was going on around her, but she didn't seem to mind.
"Okay, Racheal.. First rule. Never ever get involved with their fights. Can you handle it?"
Racheal nodded with a laugh.
"I'll try to."
"And if you won't be able to last that long, take some sleeping pills. They're miracle workers. You fall straight asleep and you can barely hear them screaming and punching eachother. I amaze myself..I've lasted with these two for four years..And you must survive a couple of weeks. I pray for you."
Racheal ducked out of the way or else Brock would have ended up hitting her instead of Ash.
"I pray for me too.." Racheal said quietly and ran over by Misty.
"Just smile and nod, hun. Just smile and nod."
"That's the best advice I've gotten in weeks."
Racheal walked along side Misty as they got a head start towards the nearest hotel. It was far too dark to go to Darken City NOW of all times. It was bad enough in the day.
"Wait! If I catch up with you, Misty, you better say an early prayer!" Ash yelled before he began to run. He was like a cat when it came to speed. No one, and I repeat, no one could ever outrun Ash Ketchum.
'WAIT!' Pikachu yelled and just managed to jump onto Ash's shoulder, hanging on for his dear life.
"And...there they go.." Brock scratched the back of his head as the running figures of Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Racheal grew smaller and smaller. He knew it'll be nightfall until he actually caught up with them.
"Oh such a long..long walk.." Brock groaned and continued on his mission to be within at least fifty feet of them.
Brock suddenly felt a crawling feeling going through his stomach.. It was either he was about to have a baby, or he really needed to go to the bathroom.
'It still amazes me everyday that they never installed toilets around forests. That's just dandy.' He said, acknowledging the fact that he was around many trees and grass.
'Oh yeah, just a perfect place to put a stadium, if you could find it. That's the tricky part..'
Brock rolled his eyes at the thought.
He tiredly began to run uphill, praying the hotel was close enough so that he could at least see it. His eyes nervously searched for the hotel, but there was nothing but a big sign that stated the nearest hotel was four miles north.
'..Save me.'

Ash gave her an excited grin as she pointed at him, using all the strength possessed in his body not to jump up and run around more excited then a man who'd won a million dollars.
"By Gosh! And I could have sworn she was pointing at Pikachu." Brock said with a thick sarcasm in his voice.
Pikachu looked at Brock.
'I thought so too. Heh.' Pikachu mumbled before looking up at Ash. He stuck his claws out threateningly.

"You have to go Misty..Back on the road with the future Pokemon Master. The big Pokemon Master has no time for dates."
"What about me?" A familiar voice asked both Misty and Racheal.

"Okay, Racheal.. First rule. Never ever get involved with their fights. Can you handle it?"
Racheal nodded with a laugh.
"I'll try to."
"And if you won't be able to last that long, take some sleeping pills. They're miracle workers. You fall straight asleep and you can barely hear them screaming and punching eachother. I amaze myself..I've lasted with these two for four years..And you must survive a couple of weeks. I pray for you."
Racheal ducked out of the way or else Brock would have ended up hitting her instead of Ash.
"I pray for me too.." Racheal said quietly and ran over by Misty.
"Just smile and nod, hun. Just smile and nod."
"That's the best advice I've gotten in weeks."
Racheal walked along side Misty as they got a head start towards the nearest hotel. It was far too dark to go to Darken City NOW of all times. It was bad enough in the day.
"Wait! If I catch up with you, Misty, you better say an early prayer!" Ash yelled before he began to run. He was like a cat when it came to speed. No one, and I repeat, no one could ever outrun Ash Ketchum.
'WAIT!' Pikachu yelled and just managed to jump onto Ash's shoulder, hanging on for his dear life.
"And...there they go.." Brock scratched the back of his head as the running figures of Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Racheal grew smaller and smaller. He knew it'll be nightfall until he actually caught up with them.
"Oh such a long..long walk.." Brock groaned and continued on his mission to be within at least fifty feet of them.
Brock suddenly felt a crawling feeling going through his stomach.. It was either he was about to have a baby, or he really needed to go to the bathroom.
'It still amazes me everyday that they never installed toilets around forests. That's just dandy.' He said, acknowledging the fact that he was around many trees and grass.
'Oh yeah, just a perfect place to put a stadium, if you could find it. That's the tricky part..'
Brock rolled his eyes at the thought.
He tiredly began to run uphill, praying the hotel was close enough so that he could at least see it. His eyes nervously searched for the hotel, but there was nothing but a big sign that stated the nearest hotel was four miles north.
'..Save me.'
