Chapter 14
A taxi came up to them, and the three of them. Misty told the taxi driver to head towards the Cerulean Gym. Ash looked quizzically at Misty. "I thought you said we are going to the Cape?"
"The Eclipse isn't until 11:30 to 12:00, and I don't want to get my new dress dirty. So I'm going to go home and change into something comfortable. You can change too. You left some clothes at the gym a few weeks back when we went swimming. Plus, I have to make sure the mirror shards are completely picked up. Brock said he'd do it, but we both know that he has a date tonight and doesn't have the time to do that kind of stuff." Misty said while examining the gifts she gave him. 'Hmm. That's strange. I swear I didn't use that wrapping paper for the books. Ash better not have peeked!'
Ash sat there with Pikachu in his lap. Pikachu was sleeping yet again. "Something's up with Pikachu, Misty." Ash turned to her. Worry was in his eyes. "He's never this tired, and I didn't think a small battle like that would tire him out so much. I guess I shouldn't bring him with us Misty."
"You're right Ash. He does seem a little tired. I hope he isn't coming down with anything. Was he like this all day?" Misty looked at the sleeping mouse Pokemon with concern.
"No, he wasn't like this until...." Ash stopped mid-sentence.
"Until what Ash?" Misty asked
"Pikachu was fine until we went go into the restaurant. I mean, he usually takes a nap after a battle, and he took one during the limo ride. But when we got inside the restaurant, he kept on sleeping. He only woke up to eat and drink some water. So something he ate or maybe drank must've made him sleepy."
"That's very strange Ash. Pikachu is always so lively. I guess he must have done something to strenuous today. That's my guess anyway. I mean, the restaurant would've drugged him or anything. Would they?" Misty went over the times Pikachu ate or drank anything. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but something did feel a little strange.
"I don't know Misty. How would they have drugged him? I mean, who would want to do that? Not many people I know hate Pokemon, and just because Le Rose doesn't like Pokemon in their facility doesn't mean they'd drug one. So that means someone must've put something in his food if someone wanted to put him to sleep." Ash conquered.
"I don't know, but all this talking about Pikachu being drugged is kinda making nonsense now. I think we are just over reacting Ash. I think Pikachu is just tired now. So we'll go to the Cape while he rests in my room. Ok?" Misty told him. Something was wrong, but sometimes the mind plays games on you. So everything cancelled out and sticking to the reasonable makes more sense in the first place.
"Sounds like a plan then. I guess he'll be fine without me." Ash stroked the shiny yellow coat of his best Pokemon friend. "You'll be fine Pikachu. You just need some rest." He told him.
"Ash, if you want, I lend you my other Pokemon to watch over him. I pretty sure he wouldn't want to be alone in the house. He can stay with Seadra and Starmie. They'll keep him company and take care of his any needs." Misty reassured him.
"Thanks Mist. I think that'll help him." Ash replied.
"Actually Ash, I thought that would help you more than him. Hehehe" Misty giggled. She knew Ash was more concerned about Pikachu than anybody else. Pikachu, in a sense, is like Ash's teenage son. Pikachu is old enough to take care of himself, but Ash has to make sure he is always protected and healthy, and always overacting over the smallest things. That way, it was kinda funny.
"Me?! What do you mean me?! Pikachu is the one that is sick here! Not me! Why does that help me more than him?!" Ash said with a hint of anger.
Misty chuckled, "I said that because you are the one who is deathly afraid of him being too sick to take care of himself. For Pidey's sake Ash, he is only sleeping." Misty waved her hands to calm Ash down. Ash looked at her with half-angry eyes. He knew she was right about that.
Misty lay back in the seat. She too, was a bit sleepy so she closed her eyes. The event that took place earlier that evening drained a lot of energy from her. Although unexplainable to her, she still felt that whose ever memories those were, was part of the bad luck she was going to have; bad luck that came from the broken mirror.
Ash, while still stroking Pikachu, stared out the window with one thought in mind, 'How should I tell Misty how I feel about her? Even if she doesn't feel the same way I do, she still is the most important person in my life no matter what. Even if we don't end up together, she still will have my heart. I can never love another person like I love her. And the funny thing is, we always flirt. And every time we do, we get extremely close to kissing. I'm glad she is the kind of friend who doesn't get all tense when were close together like that.'
Ash and Misty's relationship during the past year grew into the flirtiest one. Ash and Misty got over being shy around one another with the exception of the dinner at Le Rose. Misty was the tease and Ash was joker. Every time Misty teased him in a seductive way, Ash got flustered; but he would recover quick enough to stop her ways. So they were pretty much comfortable flirting with each other and being able to kid around without damaging their relationship. They even flirted in parties, and Misty would always end up making Ash jealous by hanging around other guys. Everybody thought they were dating by the way they acted, but truth be told, they never did. But anytime they were put in a romantic setup, they weren't capable of saying their own feelings towards the other nor make any moves.
Ash felt he pocket for his gift to Misty. He hoped that Si was right about it. Si told Ash earlier last month when he bought it, that that piece of art was passed down through generations and generations of a certain shrine family. The reason why it ended up in Si's store was when he went traveling northern of Kanto. A middle aged woman told him to keep it and that it was fated to be destiny-bonded. Si just thought it was pretty so he accepted and brought it to the store.
When Ash asked Si what was Misty's favorite item in the store he pointed to it. It happened to be a pricey thing there, but Si made it a lot cheaper because it was going to be Misty's. But buying the ring cost Ash most of his battling money which now is causing him to be low on cash. He didn't care though, because not all the money in the world can add up to the smile that is shown from his best friend and love's face when she sees it.
Ash's thoughts came to a stop. The taxi driver said, "That'll be $35.78."
Misty and Ash's mouth dropped open and their eyes widened. "You've got to be kidding me! That was 15 minute drive! It shouldn't cost more than $20 dollars at that! I'm not paying and neither is Ash!" Misty was infuriated by the taxi's charge.
"Ma'am, if you do not pay. I will call the police." The driver replied.
"The HELL you will! And what would happen? You'd cry to Officer Jenny saying that you over charged us and we won't pay the extra fees?!" Misty yelled at him again. She clenched a fist in his face.
"That's it! I'm calling on your sorry asses for not paying and threatening me." The driver said to Misty in a pissed off tone. He picked up the company phone in the car and began dialing numbers.
Misty almost jumped the driver, but was pulled back by Ash just in time. He whispered gently to her. "Calm down Mist. I'll take care of him." He handed her the sleeping Pikachu and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Instant calmness came to her. She then turned away and gave a wry smile to the driver as Ash started to settle the fight.
"Excuse me Sir. But I do believe she is right. Calling the police won't solve the problem, but just put more gasoline on the fire. If you call, and the police say you are cheating us with the fee, then on your recorded they will put down what you did. There is another reason why. Because if you call and you are lying to us, the company will most likely fire you and you might be sued by the company for corrupting the name." Ash tried to find as many reasons why he shouldn't call and should give them the right charge.
Misty and the driver both looked at Ash. He had a very serious expression and everyone could agree he was right. The driver looked down in defeat and said to give him $19.26.
A victory smile crept onto Ash's face. "Ok, now that sounds reasonable." He handed over a $20 and said for the driver to keep the change. Misty looked at the driver with disgust and got out of the car holding Pikachu like a child. Ash grabbed his belongings and followed behind her.
The taxi drove away towards the city as Ash and Misty walked up to the house part of the gym where Misty resided. When they reached the side door, Ash put his presents on the floor and took Pikachu from Misty. Misty went through her purse to dig up her keys. She retrieved them and when she put her hand on the door knob the door opened. Misty gasped, and Ash almost dropped Pikachu.
The door swung all the way open. She saw things were still in their right place. She gave a sigh of relief. "It must have stayed open because of Brock. He was here earlier to pick up Togepi. It was him who left my door open. I can't get after him though because he doesn't have keys to the house, only the gym." Misty explained to Ash.
Misty walked in first and put her purse down and went back to bring in Ash's presents. Ash stayed at the front door. Misty looked at him with a quizzical expression.
"You can come in Ash."
"Oh, ok. It's only that, this is a date and I'm supposed to be invited in by you. Walking in a friend's house is different, but when on a date, it is a formal invitation inside the date's house." Ash stated as matter-a-factly.
"Oh shut it Ash. It sounds like you either got that from a book or from Brock who doesn't even know what he's talking about half the time." Misty said. "Plus, you are my best friend; you've been to my house plenty of times. You don't need to knock unless my door is locked." She added. "Oh, and the date is over to top everything else off."
"Oh, I see. So the date is over?" Ash asked.
"Yes Ash. The date is over. We aren't at the restaurant anymore, so we don't have to act all prim and proper. We can be our regular selves now." Misty turned to him.
"Great! I don't have to pretend to be an aristocrat anymore! Whoo hoo!" Ash said with gladness.
"Good. Now you know where your regular room is. You clothes should be there." Misty told him.
Ash had his own designated room in her house. Over the past year he would stay over really late at her house and ended up sleeping on the couch. But Misty created a room just for him so he wouldn't have to sleep on a stupid couch anymore.
"Yeah. Ok" Ash headed towards his room across from Misty's. (Upstairs)
The room use to belong to Violet, Misty's second oldest sister. Misty re-did the room so the colors were more boyish then girlish. The room was red and black now. The walls were painted red and the bed was black with red sheets. There were some dressers and a closet. Misty also put in a desk and chair, Pokemon beds, TV with cable, Play Station 2 which also served as a DVD player, and a computer with internet. The restroom was connected to the room, so it was easy to access to use.
Ash felt comfortable in the room. Red and black were his favorite colors. If he could, he would live at Misty's, but as law and his mom have it, he couldn't live with her without adult supervision. Plus the public view of that living situation would cause Misty a lot of trouble in the media.
Ash walked in and placed Pikachu on the Pokemon bed. It was just like a human's except it was made for small Pokemon like Pikachu. Pikachu turned while sleeping and faced the wall instead of Ash. Ash placed the blanket on him so he wouldn't get cold. "Have a good rest Pikachu. I'll leave a note if you want to know where I am. Don't worry; you'll also have Misty's Pokemon with you until we come back. I think we might stay the night tonight. It'll be late when we both get back."
Pikachu kept on sleeping. He curled up in a ball underneath the blanket. He continued to dream away about past memories of battling and training with all of his Pokemon friends.
Ash walked over to the dresser and pulled out some clothes. He got undressed and put his suit in another place. He put his black, with red strips on the sides, swimming trunks on and a red t-shirt that said 'Hot Enough for Ya?' on it. He changed his dress shoes into sandals that had the Adias symbol on it. He then went into the bathroom and put his head underneath the sink and rinsed his hair of gel then dried it off with a towel. He checked himself in the mirror. He struck poses in the mirror; strutting his stuff "Damn! I look hot." He said out loud.
Not realizing that a certain presence in behind him, he continued to pose.
"You know Ash...." Misty said casually.
Ash spun around. "Fuck Misty! You scared the shit outta me!" Ash yelled while holding a hand over his heart.
Misty laughed. "I was just going to tell you that if you..." She went up to him and brushed his hair back and backed away to look at him again. "...just do that, you'll look even hotter." Misty smiled at him; still amused by his reaction when she surprised him.
"Whatever Mist. Just don't do that again!" Ash shrugged it off. He no longer needed to be blushing or shy because the date was over for now. They were back to being best friends flirting like crazy.
"Sure thing boss. But the reason I came in here was ask you to help me unzip my dress. I can't really reach the back." She turned around, so he could assist her.
Ash's cheeks began to turn different shades of red. He hated to unzip her dress because that would mean touching her back, which would drive him over board in the excitement area. But being the good friend he was, he reached for her back.
"Sure Misty. I just hope I don't break it or something." Ash replied to her as he began unzipping her dress. His hand ran down her back. The first thing he noticed was that her skin was perfect. It was of a tan color nowadays because of her time on the beach, and it was smooth as silk. The second thing he noticed was that she wasn't wearing a bra. Right away he began to sweat.
He thought, 'Shit. She doesn't have anything underneath this dress but her thong. Shit, I hope I don't see anything or else...' He looked down and gulped.
His thoughts were interrupted by Misty's voice. "Ya done yet?"
"YEAH." Ash said in a high pitched and loopy voice.
Misty turned around to face him. She held her dress up and gave him a questioning look and cocked her head. "OK. What the hell was that? I thought you were so done with that whole puberty cracking voice thing?"
"I....um....yeah......." was all he could mutter.
"Ok." Misty rolled her eyes. "Well, thanks for the help I guess...I'm gonna go change into my bikini." She began walking out of the room. "And DON'T come peeking!" She commanded. But then she gave him a warm smile and walked out of his room into her own.
"Shit, that was a really close call." Ash said quietly to himself. 'I think I should 'calm' down by watching the news or something very boring.' He sat on his bed and turned on the TV.
Once in her baby blue and white room, Misty dropped her dress on the floor, picked it up, and hung it on a hanger. She walked over to her swim suit part of her closet and chose a halter top piece and bikini styled bottom piece. The color of her two-piece was the color of her eyes; bluish turquoise with a silver shimmer to it. She got the top part and tied it around the back then again behind the neck. She then slipped off her underwear and put on her bottom piece. She re-tied the sides of it to make sure they wouldn't come off in any way.
Now it was time to choose something to wear over it. As she was searching for the perfect outfit, she remembered what just happened when Ash unzipped her dress for her.
'I can't believe I just asked him to do that though. I mean, I'm perfectly able to do that myself. I guess I like to torture him. I defiantly know what was going on in his head. He must've been fighting ...well...an arousal very hard if his voice went nutty like that. Heheheehe. I can be such a tease at times. Hehehee.' Misty giggled. 'But even he gave me the shivers. His touch is so...tender and warm. And his hands are strong, but yet, have a gentle side to them.' Misty sighed as she kept looking for a top she decided on wearing.
She had put a kaki mini-skirt on now; all she needed was her white translucent button up shirt which she purposely would leave open. It was hot outside, so she decided that wearing her shirt open would give her more air. And even though the material was thin, she still knew she would get hot some way or another.
"Hmm, I think this'll do. Gosh, with this outfit, what guy could resist me?" She spun around to make sure everything was perfect. 'Better yet, how could 'he' resist me? I hate to be so conceited, but ....I do look pretty nice tonight.' Misty giggled like a school girl trying pot for the very first time. (jk ...just an insight author joke)
