One step Towards Love, Two steps back

Day 2 & Challenges at the Mall

With the Pokemon at Oaks Lab

(Once again, I'm just typing the words.)

"So anything interesting happen while I was gone?" Pikachu said as he sat around a fire with Grovyle, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Muk, Heracross, Corpish, Torkoal, Kingler & with Swellow & Noctowl up in the trees

"Well, Butch & Cassidy came here to try & take Oak's Pokeballs, but we took care of them" Cyndaquil answered as he ate his apple happily

"Plus, we saw new trainers go off, but we had one problem one time. Someone made the Tauros's go nuts & stampede through Oak's Lab." Bulbasaur said calmly as he ate some pokemon food Tracey brought out earlier for the group, but what he said seemed to be pointed towards his friend Cyndaquil.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault! Snorlax was coming towards me & scared me ok?" Cyndaquil said as he grew red in the face & yelled back at Bulbasaur "You would do the same if you were flying through the air scared cause a Snorlax made you fly after landing."

"Haha, it's still funny Cyndaquil. I mean come on, we all know it's not your fault." Bayleef said as she laid down on her stomach

"Yeah Cyndaquil, we are just pokin' fun with ya ok?" Noctowl said as she (or he) hooted happily while eating her (or his) food

"So Pikachu, what happened with you? Team Rocket still chasing you?" Muk said looking at him

"Yeah, but Team Rocket got some new Pokemon." Pikachu said as he licked up the ketchup coming from the bottle

"Really like what?" Kingler said eating his food as well

"Like Seviper, Dustox, Cacnea, & Chimecho." Grovyle said as he sat in the tree with his twig in his mouth as he looked down at the group for he had finished his food a while ago.

"Cool." Totodile said as he started dancing around happily

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you don't know what it's like battling them." Corpish said as he sat there around the fire with the group

"But what about Arbok, & Weezing?" Bulbasaur said as he remembered them

"Uhh, don't know, they probably let them go cause of a poacher was capturing Ekans & Koffing" Pikachu said as he looked up at the sky thinking of the incident

"So, Grovyle, your Ash's newest grass Pokemon? I'm the only grass type that hasn't evolved since we got captured" Bulbasaur said as he looked up proudly "So how did you evolve?"

"Well I evolved when fighting a Loudred which evolved into a Exploud, but I beat it" Grovyle said as he jumped down & leaned against the tree yawning softly "Well you guys, I'm tried so I'm going to bed. Night"

"Night Grovyle" Pikachu said as he looked at the group "Hey you guys, what do you think of that new girl, May?"

"I think she's cute." Torkoal said as Swellow, Cyndaquil, Totodile & Bayleef agreed with him "What about you Pikachu?"

"Well, I think she looks good with Ash." Pikachu said as he went back to his ketchup happily

"I disagree with you Pikachu, I think Misty looks better with him instead of her" Bulbasaur said as Noctowl, Corpish, Muk agreed with him.

"Well as a matter of fact, I know Ash likes May. He told me himself the night of the accident." Pikachu said to the group

"Did he say when he started liking her?" Swellow said as he laid down

"I think he said it was when he first meet her. Go figure, guess it's true what they say about love at first sight." Pikachu said as he chuckled softly as the group joined & soon the group fell asleep around 2 A.M. after catching up on old times & new times.

Later that Morning at the Ketchum residence

"Hmm, what a good morning" Ash said as he got up from the floor after giving Max his bed & stretched & slowly made his way to the bathroom not listening to the shower going & walked in slowly & made his way to the sink & picked up this toothbrush & started brushing his teeth with sleep still in his eyes & slowly looked up at the mirror & saw a face staring out of the shower curtain blushing a deep red & a scowl growing on her face. "Uhh...Hi May '. I didn't see you or hear the shower ok? So I'll just let my self out ok?"

"Ash Ketchum. YOUR DEAD!!!" May said as she got out & started chasing him with her trusty mallet in her hands after putting her towel on her.

"May, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!!" Ash said as he ran as fast as his legs could carry him while blushing a deep red as he also ran out of the house & up a tree panting a lot as he stayed there scared for his life

"Ash, could you please come down here? I won't hit you I promise ok?" May said as she smiled sweetly while crossing her fingers behind her

"All right then...." Ash said semi-reluctantly while climbing down the tree, but no sooner then when he got down he was flying through the air & landed in a pile of mud once again & slowly got up shaking his head & trying to get as much mud as he could off of him. "Great, why me? First it's Totodile, now May."

Later at the Kitchen Table

Later after Ash came back, got a scolding from his mother for coming in dirty, showered & changed into dry clothes, he sat at the breakfast table next to Max who was eating Trix Cereal ® happily

"Hehe, hear you had a run in with my sister in the shower, Ashy boy" Max said while grinning him & elbowing him

"Yeah, my fault, I'm not listening to a lot when I first wake up anyway" Ash said as he blushed remembering the incident & put his hand behind his head as his mother put his breakfast in front of him "Thanks Mom."

"No problem sweetie, but could you do a few things for me?" Mrs. K. said as she held up a list "Could you run down the grocery store & get a few things for me?" but as she said that the list came apart & folded out to be about 3 ft. long

"Uhh sure Mom, but I'm going to need some help ok?" Ash said as he looked around his eyes begging for help, but as fate would have it, May & Misty walked in & looked up

"I'LL HELP!" Misty & May said at the exact same time, but growled, as they turned towards each other "NO! ME! NOT YOU! ME!"

"You can both help him cause I'm making my special dinner tonight "Pizza Taco" " Mrs. K. said as she crossed her arms & looked at them "& Max can stay here & help me do a few things."

"All right Mrs. Ketchum." Max, May & Misty said as they all sighed along with Ash

Soon Ash, May & Misty were already to go & started off with Ash pushing a large wooden cart & May & Misty on either side of him hoping this won't interfere with their contest for Ash's affection & soon they arrived at the store, Ash sighing a lot from all the pushing he had to do while May & Misty went in with the list & began & soon Ash joined them & finished in about 3 hours & paid for the groceries (heh, I'm not going into detail about it, but let's say that Misty & May were very competitive to see who could finish their list first)

The Mall

"Hey Ash, you hungry?" Misty asked as she walked down the hallway passing shops & stores

"Uhh... sort of." Ash said as he looked up thinking about it, but blushed when his stomach growled with hunger "Guess that answers your question. '"

"Guess it does, so let's go ok?" Misty said as she turned down another big hallway towards the elevator

"I'm getting hungry too." May said as she jogged to catch up to her "Let's find a good place to eat."

"I know let's eat at that new Italian restaurant they built last week I heard from my mom" Ash said as the group got into the elevator & it started it's climb to the top floor

"Oh, I love Italian food" May said with glee as she clasped her hands together & went into gaga mode

"So let's go." Ash said as he got of the elevator when it stopped & the girls followed him "I can't wait for it "

At the Restaurant

"Well what do you guys want?" Ash said as he looked over the restaurant menu "I think I'm going to get some spaghetti with some garlic bread sticks."

"I'm going to get some fettuccini with a Caesar Salad." Misty said as she put down her Menu & took a drink of her Diet Coke

"Well, I want some spaghetti & a salad" May said as she looked up at the ceiling which featured a painting & a very expansive chandelier glowing brightly in the middle of the room which made May day dream

May's Daydream

May smiled as she danced around a grand ballroom in a very elegant white dress with her brown hair down out of it's usual style, her hands covered with white gloves going up to her elbows & a diamond necklace around her neck with the same chandelier that was in the restaurant above her as she danced around with a guy

This guy happened to be Ash smiling down at her in a black tux; his hair tamed & relaxed which went down past his shoulders a little.

As he continued to smile at her happily, his brown (or black, could never tell what color ') eyes meeting her blue ones as he continued ball room dancing with her slowly, her dress flowing each time as they turned.

"Oh, Ash, I have always dreamed of this moment happening. I love you so much" May said as she laid her head on his shoulder "I just wanna kiss you"

As she put her head up, she started to lean forward, her lips puckered to kiss him.

"May? May? MAY!!!" Ash said shaking her softly breaking her dream

End Day Dream

May yelped as she fell out of her chair & onto the floor blushing softly as she looked up at Ash standing over her

"May, you okay?" Ash said with concern in his brown (or black) eyes

"Yeah, I'm okay" May said as the blush went scarlet

"That's good, also the foods here." Ash said as he took his seat along with May & started eating as Misty chuckled

"What were you doing hmm?" Misty said with a small gleam in her eye "Day dreaming?"

"Yeah, so? Can't a girl daydream once in a while?" May said as she went to eat, as Misty shut up about what she said

"So Ash, I have a question. Do you think me & May could pose for you & you could tell which of us looks better?" Misty asked him slowly & grinning

"Uhh...sure why not" Ash said as he instantly looking down blushing a lot having a sudden interest in his food (which is always true)

"Yay, thank you Ash" May said as she continued eating her food & soon finished along with the group & paid her part of the check along with the group

JC Pennys

"Okay then Ash, you sit here & wait for us ok?" May said as she pushed Ash onto a chair who was still blushing a lot & looked at his shoes, which now became just as interesting as his food

"Now, don't you go anywhere Ash. You just stay right there." Misty said as she went into the changing room with a pile of new clothes hanging over her arms as did May with a pile just a big or even a little bigger

Soon Misty came out wearing a green tee-shirt & a pair of tight blue jeans with a yellow flower on the side of them showing off her curves grinning at Ash while May came out a few minutes after her wearing a mini red tank top showing her bellybutton & a pair of jeans just as tight as Misty's with a Beautifly design on the leg also showing off her curves as well.

"So Ash, which one do you like better?" May asked blushing softly as she looked at her crush

"Uhh... I don't know cause you both look absolutely stunning in my opinion, but I'd have to say May." Ash said with a scarlet blush all over his face

"Okay then, Ash. Just stay right there, we'll be right back with a new clothes ok?" Misty said as she winked at him walking away behind May back to her changing booth

Soon the girls finished modeling for Ash with the score 7-6 with Misty the winner, but the overall score 7-7 & soon the girls were walking out giggling with a stunned Ash behind them with a tissue up his nose for May's last performance which had her in a really skimpy two piece bathing suit.

"Well looks like Ash, is just like any other guy. Bleeding at the sight of a girl in a really skimpy suit." Misty said as she grinned at Ash, which made him go redder along with May.

Later that night at Ash's House

"Well honey, looks like you had a fun day. Also for dinner, I invited Professor Oak & Tracy over for dinner ok?" Mrs. Ketchum said as Ash sat at the table sighing a lot while the girls watched TV

"Okay then Mom, I can't wait until your fabulous "Pizza Taco" " Ash said as he smiled at his mom happily, but then sighed as he looked down

"Honey, what's wrong?" Mrs. K. said as she pulled up a seat next to her only child & took his hand in hers "Something bothering you?"

"Yeah, it's just that I have this crush on a girl, but I don't know how to tell her." Ash said as he looked at his mother blushing softly

"And who's the lucky girl that has my son's affection" Mrs. Ketchum said as she looked down at him softly

"Well.... It's May." Ash said as he looked down blushing a lot

"Oh, honey. Don't worry it'll come to you when you feel the time is right ok?" Mrs. Ketchum said as she went back to preparing Dinner

"Okay Mom, thanks" Ash said as he got up & walked up to his room & laid on his bed & looked up at his ceiling smiling softly as he thinks of his love for May.

At Dinner

"Well Delia, you've done it again. It's another masterpiece." Oak said as he sat down next to Mrs. K. & Tracy sat next to him & Misty next to him. And on the other side on the left of Delia, it was Ash, May & Max with Pikachu on the right of Max with a bowl full of Pokefood. Soon everybody was chowing down on the Fabulous "Pizza Taco"

"So Ash, did you see many new Pokemon while in Hoenn?" Oak asked as he put his fork & knife down

"Yeah, I did & I made a lot of new friends too." Ash said as he got another "Pizza Taco" & continued eating

"That's good" Oak said as he got himself another serving

"So Misty, did you sort everything out with the guy?" Tracy said still thinking it's him that Misty likes

"Yeah I did actually." Misty said as she stole a quick glance at Ash, but went back to eating

"That's good" Tracy said as he stood up & put his plate away & Misty soon followed. "Umm...Misty could I speak to you outside?"

"Sure, Tracey." Misty said as she followed her friend to the backyard

"What did you want Tracy?" Misty asked him

"I just wanted to say that...I...I love...I love you." Tracy said as he blushed a whole lot which let Misty stunned as he leaned across & quickly kissed her lips, but walked away & into the house & told Professor Oak he'll be at the lab.

Soon Misty slowly raised her hand & put her fingers to her lips blushing a lot & slowly walked back into the house & went up to the guest room & just sat on the bed thinking

After Dinner in the guest room

"So Misty, the score's tied, 7-7." May said as she crawled into the bed & laid her head on the pillow

"Yeah. I guess" Misty said as she still looked shocked fighting emotions that arose about Tracey after he kissed her

"Misty, what's wrong?" May asked her friend/rival concerned for her

"Huh? It's nothing May. Go to sleep ok?" Misty said as she got under the covers too closing her eyes as she still fought the emotion
