A/N just a cute little fanfic I thought of while brainstorming for my trustedpatnershipping story.

At the Pokemon Center 9:00 AM Vailstone City, Sinnoh

Pauls POV:

I was so nervous. Ash said he would call today. Reggie set up a ' virtual date' for us and he said this is my big chance to confess to him. who is Ash your asking? well Ash is a trainer from Palettown. his partner is Pikachu. I say he's pathetic but he's actually Damm cute. oop there comes Reggie." Paul. please don't mess up. this is your chance to conf-"

" yeah yeah I know."

"ok. it's just...I know how much he means to you. even if you try to hide it."

" fine, I love him ok!"

" good. now tell that to him."

sighed* "I'll try."

RINGGGG* it's Ash!

"hello Paul! long time no see eh? ohh and guess what? I won the Kalos Leage!"

" ok ok... wait did you just say that you won a Leage!"

" yeah and I was very much capable of doing it.".

" ok whatever you say pathetic." there it is again. his irrisistably cute pout.

"and I had so many new rivals!"

" tell me about them."

" ok so there was Tr- wait...your being nice to me?"

" no I just want to know who would be rivals with a weaking like you."

" of course. I thought it was too good to be true. so anyway the first rival I mey in Unova was a trainer named Trip. he was kinda like you now that I think of it. Always called me loser it whatever."

man, I think Ash fell for this Trip guy. I should have acted faster. well I guess Reggie is going to kill me if I don't confess to him so here goes nothing. But first I need to know..." hey Ash. In your opinion, what's the difference between me and this Trip?"

" you called me Ash and not loser it something!"

" so? is it that exiting? we ended our rivalry before you left Sinnoh right?"

" yeah but I didn't expect you to be the nice. Well if you really want to know...the difference between you guys is that...you are kind on the inside Paul I can see it! Please can you open up to me?"

" huh?" I was surprised. no one called me nice. even though I use to be. " well...you want me to tell you a secret?'

" y-yeah."

" well a long time ago, I ment this trainer. He and I hated eachother because our battle styles were different. Truth was that I loved this little idiot. But being the adorable idiot he is...he didn't even notice."

" wow that sounds tough."

" uggg.. don't you get it yet?"

" what. ?"

"you want me to piece it out for you? I. Love. You. Ash. Ketchum!"

" Paul...I have a question for you. When I'm around you I feel all fuzzy and weird. I think I might love you back?"

right there and then. Even though there was a glass screen between the two of us. I kissed him. He was surprised but he kissed back. Funny thing was that I actually felt something. Happinesses. Thank you Ash for reunlocking my nice side...

A/N before you start telling at me that ash didn't. win the Kalos Leage, I know that! I just thought he disserved it more than winning the Alolan Leage. Well anyways this had been on my mind for a while so I was like why not. I promise I'll update my Imaginationshipping story soon for those who are waiting-Mist
