Ash and Dawn: Living

Chapter 1: HOUSE PARTY

"WOOOOOOOOO! LET'S ALL GO STREAKING!" Barry screamed as he ran around the living room like a madman who just escaped from an asylum.

The assembled group merely laughed at this craziness or just rolled their eyes at him, only to continue the festivities after he exited the room while trying to take off his shirt. It was a pretty good party, with a few alcoholic beverages available to those who wanted it. Barry wanted it and thus, found himself trying to streak for his amusement.

This party was being held as a house warming of sorts for one of their number, who was acting as host for the first time in his life. that person was none other than Ash Ketchum. the young Pallet town native relaxed on his couch, Pikachu resting on his shoulder, in his living room. part of him still couldn't believe it. he was resting in HIS house. a house he paid for to build, alongside his friends. it was years ago that he began to save up his money from his rather successful career as a pokemon trainer, promising that he would build a home for himself and his pokemon. and after his 4th straight pokemon league victory, he finally had enough to buy a plot of land and the materials needed to build it. It took him over a year to finish but Ash was not one to shy away from hard work to get what he wanted. and here he was, a young 20-year-old homeowner hosting his first party.

His eyes drifted around the room, seeing all the faces of the people he had come to call "friend" for many many years.

Seated next to him was his best friend and former rival, Gary Oak. he took some time out of his busy schedule as a pokemon researcher to make it and Ash was glad for it. the passing years only made their friendship stronger, especially since he pretty much retired as a trainer to pursue his new career as a researcher, much like his grandpa. he was still a powerful trainer and always knew how to keep Ash on his toes when it came to battles, hence why he often asked him to help him train for upcoming battles.

in the kitchen, he caught sight of Brook using the stove to make a dish for his girlfriend, Lucy, who was currently watching him blaze around the kitchen with keen interest. Ash sighed wistfully to himself. he never thought he'd ever put the words "brock" and "girlfriend" in the same sentence. he was always chasing women as long as he had known and traveled with the now pokemon doctor, so seeing him settled down with someone is still very odd to him. but despite some misgivings he had, Ash was glad that Brook remained a loyal and attentive boyfriend to the pike queen. not that he didn't need to try extra hard with her. Lucy adored him and made her appreciation for his moments of affection very well known.

across the room from him sat Tracey and Misty, chatting with each other. Ash and Misty did date many years ago but it didn't last. He was thankful that she found someone to love in Tracy. The pokemon researcher seemed a better fit for his old traveling companion than he ever did.

joining them suddenly with a drink in her hand was May. The outgoing "queen of Honen" was always a welcome sight at nearly any get-together. the years had seen her become even more of an attraction to the boys and girls as her figure only seemed to become more provocative, especially around her chest. she had also evolved into a major flirt, teasing and messing with pretty much anyone who caught her eye. but she wasn't what one would call a slut. sure, she flirted but she was also very picky about whom she took to bed with her. Ash should know since he has shared a bed with her more than once. they never dated but when they were in the same city together, May always made a point to seek him out for some fun.

on one of the smaller loveseats sat whom if you asked him years ago, Ash never would've thought he'd have seen as a party for him: Paul. the Veilstone city native was his greatest and strongest rival, even more so than Gary. but they had long since buried the hatchet between them. They were still rivals and had some epic battle between each other but they were still friendly enough that they could go out for drinks later on.

sitting next to him was his significant other, Maylene, the Veilstone Gym leader. no one, least of all Ash, could explain why or how these two hooked up. it was just something that happened one day. they showed up together during a Christmas party and Paul simply said they were dating. Maylene was very tight-lipped about the topic as well but she seemed very happy with the sullen trainer, given that they had never seen him mistreat her or degrade in any kind of way.

right across the living room from Ash and Gary sat Zoey, chatting away with her own best friend. even now, she still dressed as masculine as ever. Ash couldn't even recall a time where she wore a proper dress and if she did, it was probably a one-off affair. it was commonly believed that Zoey was lesbian but Ash knew better. he was sitting right next to her boyfriend after all. similar to Paul and Maylene, Gary and Zoey were very secretive about when and how they hooked up and Ash was going to pry into their relationship. it didn't matter to him either way.

Then his eyes locked on to the person she was talking to so intently. He could always find her in a crowded room, mostly because she was the most beautiful woman he had ever known. Dawn Berlitz. his closest confidant. his best partner. his favorite traveling buddy. and the woman who woke up his desire for the opposite sex. she sat there, light yellow sundress covering her figure and simple sandals on her feet, with her favorite pokemon, Piplup, sitting quietly in her lap, nibbling on some popcorn.

he had been stealing glances of her all evening, his mind racing with thoughts, both pure and perverted. Dawn didn't seem to notice his gaze, as she was too busy socializing with their friends. Ash had to look away a few times as to not become too aroused by her very presence, and he would have a hard time explaining the pronounced bulge in his pants.

Gary smiled a bit, seeing his best friend from childhood all but drool over his grandpa's biggest fan. "And so, after we found the ruins on the orange island, we had a breakthrough in Slowpoke evolution," he said.

"Uh-huh," Ash muttered as he stared at Dawn.

"Then Arceus showed up and made us all richer than everyone on earth."

"Right," he replied, obviously not paying attention to what his friend was saying.

a sly smirk appeared on Gary's face before he spoke again. "And by the way, Ash. I've been meaning to tell you that I've been in love with you since we were kids. and I would very much like to give you a BJ in front of all of our friends in your living room. you don't mind, do you?"

"Sure. go ahead." The young researcher waited a few moments to allow what he said to process in his friend's brain. "What? what did you say?" he said, snapping his head to Gary, who was smiling like a demon.

"Took you long enough," he said, giving Ash a light shove. "that's what you get for not listening to me."

"What? I was listening."

"Please. your ears and eyes were on a certain bluette we both know." he motioned his head towards Dawn's direction.

Ash glanced at her for a split second before returning to Gary. "I wasn't staring."

"Ash, if you stared at her any harder, the poor girl would burst into flames."

a flush of crimson washed over the new home owner's face as he knew there was no way he was going to lie out of this. so with a heavy sigh, he gave up trying. "Was it that obvious?"

"Probably to everyone here but we are too nice to tell you."

Ash didn't want to risk the chance he was right. "Aww, man. I must look like a fool."

Gary patted him on the shoulder. "you always look like a fool. you just get extra foolish when it comes to her." Ash shot him a sour look but Gary wasn't intimidated. "how long has it been?"

a wistful countenance emerged from his face as he started to think about his rather...unusual but intimate relationship with the coordinator and how it had evolved and changed over the years. "too long," he said simply.

"I honestly don't get it."

"Get what?"

"why you two aren't still together."

Ash gave him a neutral look. "it's...hard to explain."

"Hard to explain, my ass," Gary countered. "I've seen you date a lot of women. geez, man. you dated Serena for a long time and...well you've seen her."

"That I have," he replied, a dirty grin grew up on his mouth. "many, many times."

"Ewww!" Gary exclaimed. "I don't wanna know what you did with her or anyone else you've dated."

"you open the can, you gotta eat the worms."

Gary glared at him for a moment before resuming his train of thought. "nevermind that," he said through slightly clenched teeth, "My point is that even though you had a babe like her on you, you always seem to go back to Dawn. plus, I honestly never seen two as hot for each other as you two."

"We are not like that, Gary."

"Ash, do I need to remind you of Mt. silver incident?"

Ash's face turned as red as a Magmar's forehead. He remembered that incident. it was embarrassing for both of them. hot but embarrassing. "ok. maybe you do have a point."

"sex aside, why not just get back with her? I'm sure she'd want it too."

"It's not like that, Gary. like I said, it's hard to explain," he said, his eyes not looking at anything particularly. it was almost like he was looking at a memory that only he could see. "we're on different roads. I don't want to come between her and her goals. i...can't rob her of that freedom. being friends is good enough."

Gary leaned back in his chair, arms folded behind his head. "whatever you wanna tell yourself. just make sure when you two are...ahem...' being friends', just make sure you don't go too nuts."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"Just saying you ain't ready to be a dad yet."

"you bastard," he said in jest, giving his friend a friendly punch. "I should be saying that to you and Zoey."

"what about us? we ain't total perverts like you two are."

Ash gave a vengeful smile before speaking. "the goldenrod radio station ring any bells?"

the younger Oak's face turned a pasty white upon hearing that. "...you know?"

"of course I would know what your voice sounds like. just be glad no one else does. Still, you two did give Johto something to listen to on the radio. didn't know Zoey would scream that loud."

"Can we change the subject now? preferably to something that doesn't require us to talk loudly about certain things that may or may not have happened on live radio."

Dawn's head snapped to the loud but welcome sound of Ash Ketchum's laughter at his friend's discomfort. she didn't hear what made him laugh like that but she didn't care. His laughter made her smile like her favorite song came on the radio. her blue eyes were lost on the figure of the owner of this new home he had built. his white t-shirt clung to his slim but muscular frame. the years of traveling on the road and training with his pokemon that made him a rather ruggedly handsome man. not that he wasn't easy on the eyes beforehand. the years had just made him even more of a heart-throb. Pikachu, having finished a small packet of ketchup, jumped up on his lap and made his way onto his shoulder. Ash smiled at his starter and scratched behind his ear as he continued to chat with Gary.

Dawn gave a small sigh as she gazed at the raven-haired trainer. her mind drifted back to all the times they shared on the road together. the battles they faced together. all the time they trained together. and of course, the intense sex they had at the drop of a hat. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice that Zoey was rubbing a piece of cloth across her mouth. it was only after about 3 passes that Dawn snapped out of her daze and waved away the cloth. "Zoey, what are you doing?"

the crimson headed coordinator cackled a bit at her prank. "Nothing much. just wiping the drool from your mouth."

Dawn instinctively reached for her mouth and felt it was dry. "I was not drooling!" she said defensively.

"you might as well have been, considering you were looking at Ash like he had turned into the world's largest hamburger."

"I was not!" she replied.

"Dawn, I've known you long enough to know when you are lusting after someone. especially when it comes to the guy hosting this party."

a guilty look washed upon her face. deep down, even though she wasn't aware of it, she knew she was telling the truth. "it's that obvious, huh?" she asked.

Zoey nodded. "Don't worry. no one noticed. at least, if they did, no one would say anything. we're all used to it."

she ran a hand through her azure locks. "I must look like such a loser."

"No more than usual," Zoey joked, earning her a cross look from her friend and greatest rival.

"Thanks for the support," she uttered.

Zoey chuckled at her friend's stress. "why don't you get back with him? it's pretty clear you still have the hots for him."

she sunk back into her seat. "I wish it was that simple, Zoey."

"Don't give me that crap, Dawn. you've been dating around for years since you two split. I mean, he's certainly better for you than creepy Conway."

an unpleasant shiver went up and down her spine upon hearing the name of her ex. needless to say, those 3 months with Conway were a time she wishes she could just erase from her life. "Don't remind me. urgh. what was I thinking?"

"experimentation?"

"or just being young and stupid. and I'm still missing a few pairs of my panties."

Zoey shuddered a bit at the thought of what he might have done with them and she was pretty sure that Dawn didn't want them back. "creepy indeed."

"Was there a point to you bringing up such unpleasant memories?"

"the point, hun," she answered, "is I've never seen you happier when you were with Ash. and it's clear that you, at least, still want him. so why, for the love of Arceus are you not with him?"

a heavy sigh escaped her lips. "it's not like I don't want to. it's just... I don't wanna distract him. He's been doing so great these last few years as a trainer and I don't wanna get between that. besides, it's not like we hate each other. we're still good friends."

"huh," Zoey muttered. "let's see how long that's gonna last. it'll probably be a repeat of the MT. silver incident."

the bluette coordinator shot her a look of shock. "Zoey! you promised you wouldn't bring that up again! at least not in public!"

"Just say that when you two get started, you tend to get crazy and lose all sense of reason. seriously, I'm surprised you aren't pregnant."

"oh, I wouldn't be talking about that stuff if I was you."

"what are you talking about? I and Gary are nowhere near as bad as you two."

a foxy grin appeared on Dawn's face as she found the perfect counter to her argument. "whatever you say, 'ghost of Johto'."

Zoey's smile faded after hearing her bring up the topic that she had hoped would be dead and buried. "...who else knows?"

"Just me and Ash. maybe May but only because it's May. you know how she is."

Zoey pointed a finger at her. "and keep it that way, missy. We've gone all these years without anyone figuring out that was us that day and we will go the rest of our lives without anyone knowing."

Dawn held her hands up defensively. "your secret is safe with me. just...I don't think I ever heard you hit those high notes before."

Ash shook his head as he looked up at the ceiling of his new kitchen. the object of his exasperation was a slice of pizza that found itself stuck on the ceiling. he wasn't sure who it was but he was fairly sure the culprit was barry. he started to pill the slice off with a broom as he made a mental note to never let barry drink at his house ever again. between this, his attempts at streaking, and the fact that both Paul and Brock had to carry him out as he sang some song he had made up called "high touch". Now, he knew how his mother felt when she had to clean up after their get-togethers back at his old home.

as he peeled the slice off and threw it in the trash, it finally hit him that this was his home. He was a homeowner now. It felt surreal to him. He remembered the day when he decided to save up to build this house. He knew he had to leave the nest after his time in Unova. as much as he loved his mom, this was something he needed to do. especially since his father had returned and taken up residence back home.

he returned to the living room to find the only other person there, cleaning up the bits of rubbish that littered his living room. Dawn called out to their respective starters, who were obediently following her orders as they aided in the cleanup. "you didn't have to stay. I could've cleaned up by myself," he spoke.

Dawn smirked as she tossed a cup in a trash bag. "it's no trouble. besides, know you, you'd probably just go to sleep without doing much cleaning." she was always like that. Since they first started traveling together, she always had a habit of doing things for him: cleaning up after him, making sure he got up at the right time, prepping his and his pokemon's meals. Gary used to joke that Dawn acted more like a wife to him than a friend.

"I'm not that messy."

"Ash Ketchum, you seem to forget that I've seen your old room. I know how messy you can be when you aren't thinking straight."

"well, you contributed to some of that mess when you stayed over." she froze a bit at his comment. a few rushed memories bubbled to the surface as she recalled the many times she stayed over. Even though Deliah gave her the guest room, Dawn rarely slept in it, for reasons everyone knew.

"Smartass," she playfully snapped towards him.

"hush, bubble butt," he shot back as he went around the room, putting a few more cups in his bag.

"you know, you shouldn't make comments about a woman's figure. it's very rude," she lightly scolded. "Serena wouldn't have liked that."

"Good thing I never did that with her. face it, miss Berlitz. your ass is tops with me."

"flatterer," she said as Piplup and Pikachu dropped some paper plates into her trash bag.

"It's getting late," he remarked as he tied up his bag. "you got somewhere to stay?"

"not really. figured I'd crash here after the party was over."

"what made you so sure I'd let you stay?" Dawn answered with a pointed look and a sly smirk. Ash nodded a bit. "good point."

"I can take the couch. I know your guest room doesn't have a bed yet," she said, tying up her bag and laying it next to the front door. "seriously, Ash. how can you forget to put a bed in there?"

He scratched the back of his head at her inquiry. "well, I didn't forget. I just...didn't have the cash to get another bed."

the coordinator put her hand on her hips as she absorbed what he said. "I swear, you need an accountant or something. what did you spend that money on?"

for a few moments, he said nothing. He merely looked at her, as if he was debating on what he was going to say in his mind. Dawn didn't think he was coming up with an excuse as to why he ran out of cash to buy a guest bed. it was almost like he was debating with himself with his answer. Then, he finally spoke. "come with me." he extended his hand to his best friend. without a pause, she took his hand and he began to lead her upstairs.

The pair climbed to the second floor and headed towards the end of the hall. she hadn't seen much of the second floor but she was aware of the room he was leading her toward. it was right across the hall from Ash's bedroom, which made sense since he said that the room was reserved for someone. She assumed he meant that it was for his mother when she came to visit soon. wordlessly, Ash reached into his jeans pocket and removed a key, which he used to unlock the door.

being the good host, he opened the door and guided her into the dimly lit room. It was lightly furnished with a queen-sized bed, a small desk near the window, and some simple wallpaper. "it's a little bare but I will buy some more stuff to go in it."

Dawn smiled a bit at seeing the room. "it has potential. but I'm sure your mom can make it her own."

A quizzical expression appeared on his face. "my mom? what's she got to do with this?"

"isn't this supposed to be her room?" she asked.

"no. this isn't her room."

"then who...?" she started as Ash approached her and placed something gently into her hand.

"This room was about keeping a promise." he smiled as she opened her hand. It was the key to this very room. she looked back at him with questioning eyes. Ash merely smiled back as he swept his hand around the room. "remember the promise I made?"

It took her a few moments to remember what he meant but the small conversation they had when they were young popped into her mind. She was the first person he told of his intentions of building a house for himself. and in that same conversation, he promised to make a room for her. She initially wrote it off as him just intimate sweet talk but upon seeing the key, she realized that he wasn't just talking honey in her ear. she looked around the room with renewed interest. her mind reeled with all the possibilities of what she could do with it. she looked back at him with excited eyes.

Ash laughed. "it's yours. you can do whatever you want with it. you can crash here whenever you want. you can design your dresses at the desk. you can store your stuff here. it's all yours to do with as you will."

"but what if you aren't here if I need to get in?"

"The key also works on the front door." Dawn's face exploded into an expressive smile before she grappled onto Ash in a crushing hug. He staggered a bit before returning the hug.

"ASH, YOU WONDERFUL MAN! THANK YOU!"

"It's the least I can do."

Dawn, almost on reflex, planted a small kiss on his cheek.

That was the last straw.

Ash had held back his emotions and hormones all night, since Dawn walked through his door, wearing that amazing dress of hers. He had to. He was the host. it wouldn't be proper for him to be acting on his feelings. It also didn't help matters that Dawn always seemed to wiggle when she walked around the room. He wasn't sure if she was doing it on purpose or if she was doing it unconsciously but either way, the effect was the same on him. but now, they were alone and she just had to kiss him. That was his tipping point.

Dawn knew she messed up. her blue eyes met his chocolate ones. she knew that look in his eyes. it was that kind of insanity that only she knew of. she could see his hormones were seizing control of him and his reason was being replaced with that lusty intensity she knew all too well. and it was affecting her as well. she felt her body begin to heat up with each passing moment. it was controllable all night, despite Ash being his usual sexy self. but seeing him like this now was too much even for her. She made a huge mistake in kissing his cheek.

and she couldn't be happier.

Ash closed the distance between them in a flash, crushing her with his lips against hers. her arms enveloped him as she felt his tongue enter her mouth. the passion between them exploded into a frenzy of kissing, grabbing and pinching, almost as if they were trying to devour each other. Ash easily lifted her off the ground, his hands finding a home under the bubble butt he loved to touch and grope, her legs wrapping themselves around his waist. He had to use what little sense he had to guide them to the bed. The floor wasn't an option right now. He wanted her on a proper bed tonight.

the pair crashed on the bed, the only sounds present in the room being wet kisses and heavy pants. Ash broke away from her lips to attack her neck, lightly biting on her soft skin. Dawn gave a lusty smile, her hands clawing at his back, trying to keep him as close as possible.

"How long has it been?" she whispered between breaths.

"too damn long." it was actually around 3 years or so. but his assessment was accurate. The intense sexual energy between them was enough to power pallet town for a year.

"get that dick out," she quietly ordered.

Ash smiled against her neck. a lot of people assume Dawn would be something of a prude when it comes to sex but he and their friends knew better. when the mood hit her like this and she was horny, Dawn was aggressive and straight to the point. when it came to Ash, if she wanted his dick, she wouldn't ask for it. she DEMANDED it. "demanding little minx."

"Damn right. get it out!" she said a little louder.

"what about your dress? I know you just bought-"

the aroused bluette grabbed the sides of his face and forced him to look at her. "fuck the dress and fuck me!"

if Ash wasn't hard before, he most certainly was now. She was seriously hot tonight and who was he to deny his best friend what she wanted? He reached under her dress and ripped off her damp panties. And I do mean ripped. those panties were torn up by the strength only a man during passion could achieve. those panties wouldn't be worn again but he didn't care. He could always buy her more.

if this were any other day, he would be headfirst between her legs and eating her out like a steak dinner but foreplay wasn't on the menu tonight. he was going straight for the sex. he slid his pants and boxers down just enough to expose his dick. the aroused coordinator looked down at the mass of meat that belonged to her best friend. her first instinct was to stuff it into her mouth but that would come later. she could always blow him in the morning. right now, she needed that inside of her immediately.

She arched her back a bit to allow him easy access to her, which he gratefully accepted. He slid his hardness deep into her, absorbing the wet tightness that surrounded him. Dawn gasped loudly as she readjusted to him after so long. a few tears flowed down her cheeks but it didn't stop her from wrapping her legs around him, almost as if she was afraid he would vanish from her presence like a seductive ghost of a dream. feeling her urgency, Ash kissed her, almost as if to calm her soul that he wasn't going anywhere soon.

he started to thrust into her, using all of his superhuman willpower to keep himself from climaxing too soon. He wanted to enjoy this as much as he could. but Dawn didn't make it easy, what with how she was moving and grinding against him. she hungered for him in a bad way and she was going to feast upon him. He brought her legs up, allowing him even deeper access to her pussy. He was going to reach as deep as he could and nothing was going to stop him.

"damn! this pussy!" he swore as he began to pump into her hard.

"So...big!" she uttered as he assaulted her body with thrust after thrust. her hands scrambled around the sheets, grabbing anything to support herself.

"No escape!" he said as he pinned her wrist to the mattress.

"damn you! fuck me, you bastard!"

the bed shook violently as Ash fucked Dawn with as much furious lust as he possessed. the sounds of flesh slapping against flesh consumed the room, interspersed with heated curses and swears from both of them. it was 3 years' worth of sexual tension unleashed in the span of a few minutes.

Dawn's blue eyes nearly rolled in the back of her skull as she felt the first orgasm of the night. her whole body felt as if a Tauros had kicked her in the spirit. her body shook as her juices covered his cock and squirted out of her hot pussy. Even though he knew she had come, Ash wasn't gonna stop until she was well, truly, and properly fucked outside the edge of sanity. Dawn almost told him to stop but she knew it was pointless. when Ash was feeling it, he was truly merciless towards her. so all she could do was simply lay there and moan as he continued to fuck her.

"I'M GONNA..." was all he said before he too reached his climax and it was quite a large one. jizz exploded from his cock like a fire hose. it was to be expected since Ash hadn't had time to have sex with anyone since he was getting the house ready for the party. so he was very, VERY backed up. glob after glob of white cum pumped into her, filling her in a way that no food on earth could come close to match.

when it was all over, Ash collapsed on top Dawn, his sanity returning to him. his dick popped out of her, releasing all the semen that was being held back. their juices mixed and mingled together on her dress and the sheets of the bed as they both panted, trying to regain their senses.

"You...ruined my dress," Dawn tiredly joked as she ran her fingers through his raven locks.

Ash smiled at her joke. "you said 'fuck the dress'. just following orders."

"Smartass."

"sexy ass."

they shared a tired kiss as they laid, drenched in sweat and sexual fluids. "Ready for round 2?" Ash asked as he began to slowly remove his shirt. Dawn gave a surprised but welcoming smile. she was drained but this was expected. they weren't going to sleep tonight. She was secretly glad that Ash had a few bottles of juice in his fridge. she was going to need the fluids to survive him.

"well, there they go again," spoke Pikachu as he and his brother pokemon Piplup watched their trainers prepare for another round of lovemaking. they had arrived halfway into the sex session. they were quite used to it and it was always interesting to watch their trainers in the throes of passion.

"I was wondering how long it was going to take before they started mating," said Piplup.

"No, no. remember that humans don't call it that. it's called..umm...feeking?"

"that doesn't sound right. I think it was fooking."

"fooking? you sure, brother?"

"fooking sounds weird."

"well, whatever. we can ask Noctowl next time we see him."

the water starter groaned a bit. "do we have to? he's so...arrogant."

Pikachu shrugged. "I know but he's the smartest pokemon we know. if we wanna know, we gotta ask him."

"fine but if he starts talking how awesome and smart he is, I'll bubblebeam him right up his butt."

"Fair enough, buddy," said the electric mouse as the duo began to walk away from the room containing their fornicating trainers. "do you think this will last?"

"I hope so," Piplup answered. "I like this house. Ash did a good job building it."

"lots of room for everyone."

"that's if they decide to do that thing."

"what thing?"

"you know. that thing where the humans dress up like in a contest and trade those rings."

"oh, that! you mean...um...menny?"

"Don't look at me! not gonna try to figure out what that is. humans are just weird."

"just another thing we have to ask Nocowl."

"damn. wish we didn't have to."

"look at it this way. at least we aren't asking Gible for advice. it would probably end with you eating a Draco-meteor."

Piplup's annoyance with the owl pokemon was replaced with his hate for the dragon type pokemon. "I suppose you're right. glad that bastard isn't here to ruin the party."

"he's gotten a bit better."

"Better?!" raged Piplup. "HE GAVE ME A DRACO-METEOR WHILE DRINKING WATER!"

Pikachu gave him a light pat on the back. "hey, hey. it's ok. how about I treat you to some ketchup?"

Piplup's rage towards the dragon type began to abate as his brother pokemon calmed him down. "yeah. yeah, I'll take some."
