Chapter 5 hot and cold
The gang was roasting some food for dinner in front of a campfire. They were enjoying each other's company as their Pokémon sat by the fire when all of a sudden Pikachu disappeared
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Make it double"
"Arrgh… you again…" grunted Ash
"That's wite twoyp. And this time we got your Pikachu!"
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that. Torchik, flame flower!" yelled May
"Engaging ice beam!" yelled Mewoth and an ice ray was shot at Torchiik's mouth and sealing it before it could attack
"Torchik!" cried May with concern and struggled to free her Pokémon
"Oh no you don't twoyp!..." yelled Mewoth and fried another beam
"May look at out!" yelled Ash
Just as May freed her Pokémon from the piece of ice she looked up and screamed in terror. Before she could react she was incased in a block of ice
"No!" yelled Ash. Filled with rage Trochik blew flames at their hot air balloon and it exploded, thus releasing Pikachu and throwing team rocket into the distance
Ash rushed to May's aid. He placed his hands on the ice and looked at her. He could she was shocked and terrified
"Don't worry May. I'll get you out of there…" he said and started banging on the ice but it didn't help. He tried placing her next to the camp fire but it wasn't enough.
"Torchik, use flame flower to thaw May!'
Torchik nodded and spat fire on May till she thawed. When she did she was lying on the ground trembling from cold. Ash placed his hand on her shoulder
"Are you alright?"
"So cold…" she muttered trembling from head to toe.
"Just hang in there May, you're gonna be okay.
She opened her mouth to speak
"B…b… blanket…" she muttered
"Brock got me a blanket from your pack, quick!" demanded Ash and shortly afterwards he was handed a big puffy blanket. He wrapped it around his girlfriend, which seemed to help her out a little bit but she was still trembling a little bit. Ash put a pillow under her head and watched her as she slowly stopped trembling
"I don't feel so good…" she said
"You'll be okay May. You just have to get some rest" Ash said and held her hand and she nodded.
"Achoo!" she sniffed
"Who thawed me?"
"Torchik. I asked him to use flame flower on you"
She smiled
"Thank you…"
"For what? You're my best friend. I wouldn't let you stay in that block of ice"
"Still it's very sweet of you…" she smiled at him and he smiled back. After a while her eyes were becoming heavy and she fell asleep. He watched her as she slept. It was then that he noticed that her bandana was still wet. He reached for the knot and gently untied it. He squeezed the water out and placed it next to her head…
That night Ash had a hard time falling asleep. He was worried about May. He sat by the fire and poked it with a stick. After a while he heard May stir. She groaned slightly and woke up. She sat up slowly and rubbed her temple
"Oh my head is throbbing…"
It was then that she noticed Ash
"Ash what's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?"
"Couldn't sleep…"
She smiled sweetly at him and gently got up. She wobbled to the log he was sitting on and sat down beside him while still holding the blanket around her
"You know you don't have to worry about me… I can take care of myself…."
"I know. I was just concerned that's all"
"I know. I appreciate your concern Ash" she said and he nodded. She leaned forward and gave him a small kiss on the cheek
"That's for being my best friend" she smiled at him and he smiled back. He leaned forwards and closed his as she did the same. Their faces inched closer as their lips made soft gentle contact. A few seconds after they met they separated.
"Thanks for taking care of me Ash" she said shyly
"You're welcome" he said as they both yawned. May decided to go back to sleep. She took out her sleeping bag and so did Ash as they slept beside each other as the fire popped and sparked as the night continued…
To be continued…
Well there's a nice touching one…
I hope you like it…
