After Ash returned from his travels with Goh, he was back home in Pallet Town. There, he had to watch the house while his mother was on holiday with her boyfriend, Professor Oak. To keep him company, I decided to visit him while all gyms in Kanto were closed during the Indigo League.

While sitting on the couch with Corsola, I heard noises coming from the toilet. 'Oh! Yes! Yes! That's nice! Give it to me!'

What was that? It almost sounded like Ash was... It couldn't be! Ash? Masturbating? The guy was as dense as a Slowpoke!

Actually, Ash seemed to have a bulge in his jeans before walking to the toilet a few minutes ago. A very hot bulge that made me long for something between my legs...

But yeah, even dense boys from Pallet Town develop those kinds of feelings sooner or later.

Who would he be thinking about? I hope he doesn't have some new girlfriend... What if he likes someone else than me? My dreams of someday confessing to him and becoming his girlfriend would be shattered... It can't be...

He once told me about all the girls he travelled with. I met some of them. Was he thinking about them? What if he likes May? He never seemed to see her as more than friends... And besides, May is dating Drew. I don't think I need to worry about May.

Does Ash like Dawn? I never met her, so I have no idea how Ash acts around her. Brock once told me not to worry about Dawn. Ash was not into her, he said. And there is no way Dawn likes Ash. She is a lesbian and is dating Zoey.

What about Iris? She seemed to like Cilan. Lana? Too immature to get involved with anyone. Mallow and Lillie? I met them when visiting Ash in Alola. He did not seem to be into them...

That leaves Serena... FUCK! SERENA! What if he liked Serena? I heard all the stories about her. She has a massive crush on him. What if he likes her back? Ash once told me that that little bitch kissed him on the lips without asking for consent. Luckily, Ash did not seem to enjoy it or care about it. But what if he developed feelings for that slut? Then all my hope of getting together with the love of my life is gone...

What if he was thinking about Chloe? He did not seem to like her as more than a friend... And besides, I think she has a thing for Goh. Sadly for her, that won't work out. Goh seems pretty gay to me.

Gay... What if Ash is gay? That would explain why he doesn't show that much interest in girls, and why he never fell for any of his female traveling companions. He and Goh are close, so maybe Ash likes him... Please Ash, don't be gay...

Of course I would respect him if he is. I am not homophobic. But if Ash would be gay, my heart would be broken... For all those years, I waited to see him again. I always hoped to confess my feelings to him whenever he is ready to understand love and sex... I always dream about shagging him... But if he is gay, the dream is over!

After twenty minutes, Ash finally left the toilet. Luckily, he washed his hands, something he rarely did when he travelled with Brock and me. When he entered the living room, I saw a piece of paper stick out of the pocket of his jeans.

What would that piece of paper be? I don't think he would show it to me if I asked him to, but maybe I can find out...

When he sat next to me on the couch, I decided to ask him. 'Ash, what's that piece of paper?'

'Oh, nothing. Just some notes about how the oven works,' he mumbled.

I did not believe him. Of course it could be true, but something seemed off. He looked away from me and blushed while answering my question.

A few hours later, after watching the South Park movie and some episodes of Little Britain together, Ash was on the toilet again. Just like early in the afternoon, he took his time. He was on there for at least twenty minutes! And again, I heard him moan. 'That's it! Oh yeah!'

Then, I saw a magazine on the table and decided to pick it up. It was a Playboy magazine! The cover showed a chubby woman with huge natural breasts. The blue-haired lady covered her nipples with her hands. She seemed familiar to me...

Oh yeah, that's Contest Idol Lisia! I saw her and her Altaria on television a few weeks ago, during the Hoenn Grand Festival. Brock always talks about how Lisia is his ultimate sexual fantasy.

I decided to put it back on the table. However, before doing so, Corsola tried to hug me and accidentally opened the magazine. Then, I saw that one page was ripped out of the magazine. The other page showed the intro of the interview with Lisia. Could it be... Could it be that the picture in Ash's pocket is a Playboy photo of Lisia?

Ew... If that is the case, Ash is just like Brock! He is masturbating to Lisia's naked picture on the toilet! Gross! Brock is a terrible influence on him!

And so, when Ash came back from the toilet, I decided to confront him.

'Ash, I found this Playboy magazine on the table. Is this yours?' I asked, while holding up the magazine.

'A Playboy magazine? That isn't mine!'

'Really? Are you sure?'

'I never read Playboy,' Ash said. 'That's Brock's magazine. He visited me a week ago and forgot to take it with him when he went home.'

'Really? Then why were you moaning on the toilet? And why do you have a piece of paper in your front pocket?' I asked. 'Are you sure you're not masturbating to a Playboy model when you are on the toilet?'

'That piece of paper? That's a secret!' Ash said.

'So you admit that the piece of paper has nothing to do with how the oven works?'

'I'm not telling you! 'Ash snapped. 'Why can't you just respect my privacy?'

'Privacy? You are moaning so loud that Corsola and Pikachu were giggling all the time when you were on the toilet!' I teased.

'Corsola!' Corsola laughed.

'Um... But still, I'm not telling you! That piece of paper is secret!' Ash snapped.

'Tell me what it is right now!' I snapped.

'Um... It's a picture of Pikachu,' he said with a red face.

'A picture of Pikachu? Ash, please don't tell me you are into that kind of stuff...'

'Of course not!' Ash said. 'It's just... This is a really special picture. I can't show you!'

'SHOW ME THE FUCKING PICTURE!' I snapped. 'SHOW ME THE FUCKING PICTURE OR I WILL SMACK YOU WITH MY MALLET!'

'No! It's my private picture!' he declined.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Corsola sat on another couch and watched their trainers argue.

'Those two should just get it over with and fuck,' Pikachu said.

'Why are humans so fucking stubborn? Everyone knows that those two are into each other,' Corsola said. 'Misty constantly fantasizes about shagging Ash.'

Then, Ash tried to get up from the couch to run away, but I quickly snatched the picture out of his front pocket.

'NO! MISTY, PLEASE DON'T LOOK!' Ash begged. 'THIS IS PRIVATE!'

What am I doing? I should just respect his privacy. I should not be doing this...

But I am too curious! What if he is gay? What if he is into Serena? What if he is a Playboy-loving creep like Brock? Who is he thinking about when he plays with himself on the toilet?

'Misty, please...' Ash begged.

But it was too late. I had the piece of paper in my hands now.

In a few seconds, all worst case scenarios went through my head.

What if he was be gay? What if he liked Serena? How would I react? And how would I react? I would burst out in tears, knowing I would have no chance with the love of my life.

And what if he was a creep like Brock? Would I still love him if he was masturbating to nude photos of women in Playboy? I would be horrified if Ash would start talking about shagging Contest Idol Lisia all the time...

I unfolded the piece of paper and saw a photo... A photo of me? It was a photo taken at the beach in Porta Vista in Kanto, where I wore a skimpy red bikini. Was that the picture Ash carried in the front pocket of his jeans all the time? Was this the picture he was looking at while masturbating on the toilet?

Was this real? After all those years of thinking he probably moved on, he was always into me... This is the best day of my life! I was afraid he was into that skank from Kalos, but all this time, he was into me!

'Misty, please don't kill me...' Ash begged. 'I know you probably don't like me back, and that you probably met plenty of guys after going back to the gym... But I have always been in love with you for all those years... I've been carrying that picture in my front pocket for a long time...'

'Kill you? No. I have a much better idea,' I said. Then, I moved her head towards Ash's and licked his tongue with mine. While doing so, I put one of my hands in his pants to feel if he was hard. And he was. That thing is bigger than I ever imagined it would be!

The next morning, Ash and I woke up in his mother's two-person bed. 'That was amazing, Ash! I love you!'

'I love you too, Misty! That was the best night of my life. That felt even better than winning the Orange League and the Alola League!'

'Are you happy that I grabbed the picture now? Otherwise, both of us would still be hiding our feelings.'

'It turned out perfectly,' Ash admitted.

'First, I thought you might be into some other girl. I was afraid you developed feelings for Serena...'

'Serena? No, absolutely not. I love her as a friend, but absolutely not in that way. AmourShipping is completely one-sided,' Ash said.

'Good! But yeah, I saw the Playboy on the table and thought you were just like Brock, and that the piece of paper was a picture of Lisia.'

'Lisia? Why?'

'Well, Corsola tripped over the magazine and accidentally opened it, and I saw that someone ripped a page out of the magazine,' I explained.

'Brock probably ripped it out. He always carries a nude picture of Lisia around and looks at it when he touches himself,' Ash said. 'He told me all the details about that, even things I really didn't want to know.'

'That doesn't surprise me. He always talks about how he wants to shag Lisia. But I don't think that's gonna happen,' I giggled.

'I heard that she has a boyfriend,' Ash said. 'Simon... I don't remember his last name. The Pop Idol and X Factor judge who was Lisia's fuckbuddy at first, and who is her boyfriend now. Brock must be very sad about that.'

'Ash, Lisia has a boyfriend. Do I have a boyfriend as well now?'

'What do you mean? Is there some other guy?' Ash muttered.

'No, stupid! I meant you, but you are too dense to get it!'

'Me? Dense? I'm not dense!'

'You are!'

'I'm not!'

'You are!'

Two hours later, we were in each other's arms again. After all, arguing with him is perfect foreplay and turns both of us on even more than that Playboy photos of Lisia turn Brock on.

'I'm so glad they finally gave up that stubborn little act and got it over with,' Pikachu said after listening to the conversation. 'Ash and Misty are finally together. It was about freaking time. Humans are so fucking stupid and stubborn!'

'Yeah! My OTP is finally canon. My beloved OTP, PokeShipping,' Corsola said.

'Pika Pika!'

'Corsola Corsola!'
