Chapter 2
The next day...
In a few days, Ash and Misty will be going to the wedding of May and Drew. Today, they are out getting gifts for the wedding. They are now in the car with Pikachu and Pik, ready to drive off to the mall. As they are, Pikachu and Pik are talking to each other.
("So, what do you think is a good present for Delcatty and Beautifly?") Pik asks Pikachu, knowing how good of friends he is with them.
("Hmm,) Pikachu answers, ("Let me think.")
At this point, Ash is having a hard time figuring out what to get Drew, as he didn't end up knowing much about him. May was easy for him, as she was with him throughout his whole Houen journey, he knew exactly what to get her, but Drew just seemed to be so tough to figure out.
"There it is, the Cerulean Mall!" Misty said, interrupting Ash's thoughts.
Ash pulled into the parking lot. The mall was much bigger than many other malls were. It looked pretty ordinary on the outside, except for the tetrahedron shaped roof at the center of it, making it one of the most unique, one floor only, malls around. Inside, the hallway had cascade blue tiles, a white painted wall, and a glass roof throughout the whole mall. They both headed to the center of the mall, with their respected Pikachu on their shoulder. They stopped at the center, and their respected Pikachu jumped off.
The center of the mall was just a small place, where kids could participate in holiday events; it had a clock at one of the corners of it. It also had a red carpet at the place, as it elevated down to the center, with stairs and wheelchair walkways.
"Okay Misty, this is where we split up to look for presents for May and Drew." Ash said.
"Okay Ash." Said Misty in an agreeing tone.
"We'll meet at the food court in two hours, and have lunch there, got it?"
"Got it, Ash."
("You got that Pik?") Pikachu asks.
("I sure do.") Answers Pik.
Misty then gives Ash a kiss on the cheek as she walks off. Ash is just standing there blushing, and staring at her, rubbing his kissed cheek gently, as she walks off. He then looks down at Pikachu.
"Let's get going Pikachu." Says Ash.
Pikachu just responded to that with a simple, "Pikachu."
Ash was having a hard time finding the right stores to go to, as he hadn't been to the mall much. He was at least smart enough to use the map. As for Misty, she knew the mall like the back of her hand, as she had been there so many times with her sisters when she was younger. Though she wasn't the one getting gifts at the time, and just ended up being the one carrying them.
Misty had just gotten done getting a present for May, and decided to help Pik in finding gifts for May and Drew's Pokemon. She bends down to Pik, who was carrying a gift she thought May would like, which she was having trouble with, as the bag was about the size of her. Misty did offer to help, but Pik said she could handle it.
"So, where should we go to get presents for the Pokemon."
Pik sets the bag down, and starts looking around in random directions. Then, nearby, she spots something.
("'The Pokemon Toy Store', over there.") She says, pointing to the nearby toy store.
They walk into the toy store. It was huge! The place was practically filled with toys for pokemon on every single shelf, a few were empty, but were immediately getting restocked with new toys. Many of the toys had the picture of what pokemon they were meant for on them, just in case the trainer didn't know what kind of toy a certain pokemon would like. As they were looking around, Pik spots a toy with that of a cat with a purple mane and tail on it. Looking at it, and knowing just how much one pokemon loved to play with stuff like that, she knew just who it would be perfect for. She then calls for Misty.
("Hey, Misty! Over here!") She shouts in Misty's direction.
Misty runs over as fast as she can towards Pik. "What is it, Pik?" She asks.
Pik then points to the object that she was looking at that was out of her reach. ("Up there.")
Misty grabs the object, and sees the picture of Delcatty on it. "You think Delcatty will like this?"
("I know she will")
"Okay, we'll get it. Let's see what else we can find."
They soon get done, and after that, Misty takes a look at her watch, and discovers that it's close to the time to meet Ash at the food court. She heads over there to meet Ash.
At about the same time, Ash had just gotten done with shopping for May. He spent alot of time finding the perfect one for her, knowing just how important their friendship was. He shows the gift to Pikachu while walking to the food court.
"What do you think, Pikachu? Think May will like it?" He asks Pikachu.
("Yea, she'll love it!") Then Pikachu starts thinking, ('But what will Misty say about it?')
They soon arrive at the food court, and get their food. Misty, who had already gotten her food and found a spot for them, called over to Ash. They sit down with her, and start eating.
"So, what gifts did you get?" Misty says, part way through the meal.
"Well, I got this pretty necklace for May." He says, showing May's present.
The necklace was a very pretty golden chain necklace that had the symbol of friendship hanging from it.
"That's a very pretty necklace." She says with an evil smirk.
"Don't give me that look." Ash says noticing.
"What?" She said, trying to hide it.
"You're jealous, aren't you?"
"No!"
"C'mon! You're jealous that I got May such a nice present."
"No!"
"Admit it!"
"I'm not jealous!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
Are too! Are too! Are too!"
"Okay, okay! I'm jealous alright?" She says, finally admitting it. She learned over the years with him, that it was easier to sometimes admit it, and not argue so much. "But don't think you'll be getting anything special from me tonight."
She obviously wanted to do a little something with him, but now, she wasn't in the mood.
"Fine!" He says, noticing what he just lost to do with her for that night. "But I've got something extra special planned for our anniversary coming in six months." He said, trying to earn the privilege back.
"What is it?" Misty asked in a begging tone, being surprised that he already had something planned.
"It's a surprise."
"Tell me!"
"If I told you would it be a surprise?"
"C'mon! Tell me!"
"You want to be spoiled?"
"Yes!"
"Well then, maybe I'll just return the surprise."
"Well then you're defiantly not getting anything special from me tonight, Mr. Ash Ketchum!"
Ash then noticed that he had completely lost the privilege, and just went back to eating his meal.
At this point, Pikachu and Pik were having a conversation of their own.
("So, what did you get the Pokemon?") Pikachu asked Pik.
("Well,") she says while pulling out the ball she got earlier, ("I got this ball for Delcatty.")
("She'll absolutely love that!") He said with a chuckle. ("She used to play with those all the time when she was practicing for contests.")
("So, what did you get for the Pokemon?")
("Well, you see, with me and Ash spending so much time looking for a present for May, we haven't had anytime to check the stores for Pokemon yet.") Pikachu said with a sweatdrop, being a bit embarrassed, which was obvious with the fact that he was blushing.
("Well, you'd better get them something good, or they'll be quite upset, and so will I.") She said, hinting him with something she had told him this morning.
Pikachu obviously caught the hint, but wanted to play along.
("Well then, just to show you how sorry I am, I promise to get you something nice.") He said.
("You don't have to do that.") She said, knowing he was playing along.
("Trust me, you'll love it.")
("Okay, I'll be waiting.")
With that, Pikachu and Pik go back to eating their food. Leaving Pik with curious thoughts about what she would get.
After lunch, Ash and Misty continue shopping. Ash eventually finds a present for Drew, and after that, starts shopping for the Pokemon. Pikachu knew that after they were done, he would have to tell Ash, just to get Pik something nice.
It was now one and a half-hours after lunch, and Ash and Pikachu had just gotten done shopping for the Pokemon, or so Ash thinks.
"Well, I guess we're done." Ash said.
("Well, not quite.") He said, being a bit embarrassed to tell Ash.
"What do you mean, Pikachu?" Asked Ash.
("Well, during lunch, I kinda promised Pik that I'd get her something nice.")
"How come?"
Pikachu finally gives in, and tells Ash why he's getting Pik a gift.
("Well, today just happens to be Pik's birthday. She just reminded me this morning. I've got nothing for her, and she knows it. So, I'm in a bit of a jam.") He finally confessed.
"Wow, you really are in a jam, huh? Okay, let's find Pik a birthday present."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu says all happy.
So they head out, looking for a birthday present for Pik. They soon come to a crafts store, and go inside. While looking, Pikachu finds the perfect thing.
Pikachu gasps when he sees it. ("Ash! Over here!")
Ash runs up to Pikachu. "What is it, Pikachu?"
("Look, it's perfect!") Pikachu says, pointing to the object.
Ash grabs the object and looks at it. "You really think she'll like this, Pikachu?"
("I just know she'll love it! She has a thing for that sort of thing.")
"Okay, we'll buy it."
Ash then walks up to the teller and hands the gift to her. While the teller rings up the gift, he asks her to gift-wrap it. The teller does so, and gives the newly wrapped present to Ash. Ash and Pikachu then walk out of the store, and immediately run into Misty and Pik. Ash quickly bags Pik's gift when he sees them.
"So, do we have everything?" Misty asks Ash.
"Yep, I just got done." Ash answers her.
"Okay then, let's get going."
"Uh, Misty, a minute alone, without the Pokemon?"
Misty just nods yes, as she is led away by Ash.
("So, what did you get me?") Pik asks Pikachu, anxiously wanting to know.
("It's a surprise.") Pikachu says to Pik, who just gives him a playful jealous look, obviously wanting to be spoiled.
Meanwhile, Ash was whispering something to Misty.
"Did you know that today is Pik's birthday?" Ash asks Misty.
"Yea, she told me a few days ago. We're planning to go out for it. Why?" Misty asks.
"Well, the thing is, she just reminded Pikachu of it today, and he didn't have anything for her, and she knew."
"Uh-oh!"
"Yea, but you don't have to worry, everything's taken care of now. We found a gift for her."
"That's good." She said with a smile. "What did you get her?"
"You'll see, Misty. You'll see."
Later that night, they were all dressed up, and heading out to the restaurant that Misty picked for Pik's birthday. Ash was dressed in a light blue vest, with a dark blue jacket covering it, a red bow tie, and black pants to complete it. Misty was dressed in a one piece red, sleeveless dress, with a fluffy white fur near the top, and having jewels in her hair. (Check my Avatar if you're having trouble.) Pikachu and Pik weren't dressed up at all. Pik didn't need to be dressed up for anyone to tell she was a girl. You could easily tell by just noticing her "longer-than-other-Pikachu" fur. Misty then sees the restaurant.
"Over there! That's where we're going tonight!" She said pointing towards it.
"The 'Cafe ala Pokemon'?" He asked seeing it.
"That's the one."
They pulled into the parking lot. The "Cafe ala Pokemon" is a fancy restaurant, which was designed for trainers on dates with their pokemon. It has a red carpet, which is covered with 60 glass tables, which have a red tablecloth on every single one. Along with 4 wooden chairs surrounding each of the tables. Finishing it off with a single red rose inside a glass vase. All of the waiters and hosts wore black and white tuxedoes.
A host showed Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Pik to their table. They brought some booster seats for Pikachu and Pik. Before the host left, Misty informed him secretly that it was Pik's birthday. The host gave Misty a nod, understanding what she said, and went into the kitchen to inform the chefs.
Soon, a waiter came and took their order. They soon get their food, and enjoy their meal. After they got done, one of the chefs, dressed all in white, came out of the kitchen with a piece of chocolate cake, all prepared for Pik's birthday. Pik just gave a surprised gasp when she saw it.
"Go ahead Pik, make a wish." Misty said to Pik.
It didn't take long for Pik to think of a wish and blow out the candle.
"Okay Pikachu, give Pik the present you got for her." Ash said handing the wrapped box to Pikachu.
Pikachu then puts the present in front of Pik. ("Here you go!") He said with a smile.
("Hmm,") Pik said, shaking the present. ("What could it be?") She then unwraps the present, revealing a small box. She then opens the box. Pik is speechless with the present she sees.
Inside the box was the most beautiful flower bracelet she had ever seen in her entire life. Not to mention the only one. It was made with a mixture of rainbow colored flowers, which were arranged in such a way, that any girl would like it. Dispite the fact that it was wrapped in plastic, it still kept its beauty. The best thing was that it was just Pik's size too.
Pik takes the bracelet out of the box, hugging it. ("I love it!") She then holds it up to Pikachu. ("Put it on me?") She then asks Pikachu.
Pikachu happily puts the bracelet on Pik, and receives a hug and a peck on the cheek as a thank you, which came to another, much longer hug.
The waiter then came with the bill for the meal. Ash happily paid for it with his MasterCard. He also asked for a box, seeing as how Pik was still not letting go of Pikachu with the hug, and would never get to the cake. It looked like there was no amount of affection she could give, to show just how thankful she was.
"Looks like Pikachu was right. Pik does have a thing for that sort of thing." Ash said to Misty.
"Yea. I would probably not want to let go of you too if you got a gift like that for me as a birthday present." Misty said, admiring the scene.
They were soon out of the restaurant, and were heading home. Misty was the one holding the box that contained the piece of chocolate cake they got.
They soon got home, and went inside. Their house was different than what most people would think two people of greatness being married would have. It was a pretty ordinary two-story house, which was big enough for four people to live in. They did this to make sure that fans and media wouldn't bother them. They chose a place where they knew no one would even think of looking for them to live at. Dispite that, sometimes fan girls found them, and wanted to go out with Ash, but Misty was there many times, and made it known that he was already taken. They had satellite TV, so they could pretty much watch anything. It had three bedrooms, along with three bathrooms. A living room, and a kitchen.
Ash bent down to Pikachu and Pik while Misty put the cake in the fridge. "Okay, we're gonna watch a movie now, and Pik, you get to pick the movie." Ash said to Pik.
With that, Pik ran up to the movie rack that they had, and picked out a very romantic movie that was on DVD. They put the movie in and play it. Ash and Misty were sharing the couch, while Pikachu and Pik shared the Lazy-boy chair.
After the movie was over, Pikachu and Pik were seen asleep on the Lazy-boy chair. Pik on Pikachu's shoulder, and Pikachu on Pik's head. Misty turns to them, and just awes at the lovely scene she sees their two pokemon in. She then turns to Ash.
"It would be a shame to wake them." She said in a whispering tone.
Ash knew exactly what she was thinking, and just got a blanket out of the nearby closet, and put it very carefully on Pikachu and Pik, as to not disturb them. Ash and Misty then go to bed. Misty had to practically remind Ash that she wasn't in the mood to do anything special with him tonight. Ash just left it at that, and let her sleep.
As for Pik, this was a night, she would never forget.
