Characters

Ash- 15

Misty- 15

Brock- 15

Joy- 15

Hey guys. When I first started this, Pallet Comp. and Flamin' at the same time, I was all like, "two stories at the same time? No problem, easy as pie." No its like "Dang, I was wrong." I've been getting the characters mixed-up. Last chapter of Flamin' Starfire was talking to Ash and in last chapter of this Ash was talking to Starfire in a sentence, but I saw the mistakes after I typed them. Oh and I got already got two ideas for the next story I'm doing. You guys know how I'm into COD and stuff like that well… the next is either going to be a Call of Duty and Pokémon crossover or A sequel to The Moment with Harley and Mewtwo, except it will be based around Ash and Misty's son Agron, and Harley and Mewtwo's daughter Naevia and how they travel through Kanto and Gotham. Now I don't know if that one will be M or T. But if I do the COD then that will definitely be M for Violence and Language. Anyway onto the story, well… the chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or anything like it. All I own is this story and its plot and setting.

"Thinking"

Chapter 5; Sophomore year

The next year/semester

"Guy's look. Professor Oak, gave us the same schedule." Joy says running into Ash and Brock dorm where they were setting up theirs and some of the girls stuff because they spent reasonable amount of time in their dorm, because theirs was "not the same, and didn't have the homey feel that theirs had.".

"You for real?" Brock asks.

"Yeah. We didn't even request that this semester." Ash says.

"I know. He said it seemed to fit us academically, because he compared our past grades with last semesters and he thinks that if we keep it up our graduation grades and G.P.A's will gets us any career we want. And I've decided that I would rather be a World Famous Pokémon Breeder with Brock." Joy says.

"Ah. That's sweet." Brock says.

"Hey, Joy have you seen Mist?" Ash asks looking around.

"No I haven't. Class welcoming starts in an hour though." Joy says. "I hopes she's here."

"I'm going to look around the school." Ash says getting up.

"Want help?" Brock asks.

"Nah. I got this bro." he says.

"Alright man. Text me if you need back up."

"I will. Oh, and don't mess up class without me if I don't make it." Ash jokes walking out the door.

With Misty looking at her cellphone.

Misty pulls her knees up to her chest after taking all the information that she received from her sisters.

"So basically. If I don't return to Cerulean, then our aunt and uncle will take the gym." Misty thinks sadly. I can't just leave the school, I'll lose all my work and friends… and Ash."

Misty cries softly into her knees as she thinks over her decision not wanting to leave or losing her gym.

Ring a ding ding ring ding Misty jumps as her cell phone goes off. "Please don't be them again, please don't let it be them again."

Misty slowly raises the phone to her ear before mashing "talk". "Hello?" She says.

"Hey baby. Something wrong?" Ash asks.

"Oh hey, honey. No nothing is wrong. I was just overwhelmed by the crisp air outside it sort of took me by surprise." She lies.

"It a little windy out?" he asks.

"Yeah. The wind burst kind of took me off guard."

"So, there's nothing else?"

"Nope. Just the wind."

"Ah O.K. So, you want to tell me where you're at?"

"I don't think so."

"You sure?"

He smiles to himself as he watches her back and how she is looking out over her favorite spot of the campus that overlooks a lake and he carefully makes his way to her.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Hello? Dang it. Wait… did he just hang up on me? He just hung up on me… humf. I didn't want to talk anyway." She says sliding her phone into her back pocket.

"Hey baby." He says playfully poking her ribs on both sides but caught up in her thoughts Misty jumps and out of a little fear she swings and connects with Ash knocking him off the trailer and down the makeshift ramp they made to get up there.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" "AAAASSSSHH!" They both yell as he tumbles down and Misty slides down to avoid rolling down too.

"Ash, I am so sorry. I didn't mean… I mean you… Are you O.K?" She asks worriedly.

"It's O.K Mist. Really. You have an amazing arm." He says playfully.

"Wow, he gets socked and he makes it a compliment. That's so sweet." "Ah, you mean it?" She asks and he nods sitting up.

"So, what had you crying?" He asks.

"Dick." "I wasn't crying. The wind took my breath." She thinks/says

"I was watching you."

"Stalker." "You probably missed the wind burst."

"I heard your sniffles and saw you wipe some tears."

"Cock sucking fucker." "I don't want to talk about it."

"Come on Mist. You said yourself we were going to have an almost or as close to a perfect relationship as possible and we would keep nothing from each other."

"Persistent stubborn shit." "Fine. You really want to know?"

After that tone he thinks over his choices for a quick second. Choice 1: Be a good boyfriend and listen. Choice 2: Say no and be a bad boyfriend because she really wants to talk, she's just stubborn like him. Or Choice 3: Just go with the wind story and without much thought he knows the latter choices will harm their relationship.

"Yeah, I want to know. You're my love and nothing can stop me from loving you." He says trying to pick the correct words and taking her hand with hers as he walks her back up the ramp to her "Spot".

"Might as well tell since it isn't going to matter." "Alright, you see. My aunt and uncle have always wanted me to stay in Cerulean like my sister's and be a gym leader, but now that I'm in college they to take my sister's and my gym if I don't return to Cerulean and quit school and leave Pallet." She says and she notices that his jaw is dropped and he is staring in disbelief.

"Ash?" She asks.

"Is there any way to change their minds?" He asks and she shakes her head.

"They only change their mind if they are defeated in a battle, but their Pokémon are to strong so, there's no reason to make them suffer either."

"You're not going to try?"

"No. They have an Aegislash, Chandelure, Feriligatr, Gengar, Malamar, all EX and a Manectric Mega EX. They're undefeatable."

"No one's undefeatable. You just have to know what you're doing."

"They also know what they're doing."

"May I see your phone?" He asks seemingly changing the subject.

"Sure." She says suspiciously handing it over.

He flips through something and types something into his phone and hand hers back.

"What did you do?" She asks.

"Nothing. I was just checking our schedules to see if we had the same class too." He answers.

"Yeah. I talked to professor Oak and he said he would think about it."

"Nice. Hey we should get to class. We've already missed 20 minutes. Oh, and don't worry baby. No one is going to take you away from me or the school." He says giving her a kiss.

"Thanks Ash." She says feeling a little happier as they walk to class.

"Hey, I'll come in a second. I have to call my mom about my classes." Ash says stopping outside the door.

"Alright. I'll be with Brock like last year." She says giving him a peck and he dials the 5th emergency contact number.

"Bul?" "Hello?" Bulbasaur asks answering the phone Professor Oak had installed so Ash could call and talk to them.

"Hey Bulbasaur. I to ask you guys something." Ash says.

"Bul bulb ba, ba saur?" "Ah hey man, What you need?" Bulbasaur asks.

"Is Charizard, Swellow, Manectric, Squirtle, and Noctowl there?"

"Bul." "Yeah." He says and calls for them and Ash hears them arrive.

"Hey guys. I need to ask all of you something very important." Ash says and by the tone of his voice not even Charizard cracks anything type of joke or wise crack.

"Bulba bulb." "Shoot bro." Bulbasaur says after the other Pokémon get ready for the question.

"It's about Misty."

Professor Oak looks over to Ash as his door slowly creaks open a small smile fighting to show on his lips.

"Why hello Ash. So nice of you to finally join us… Near the end of class. Well better late than never. You know where to sit."

"Sup guys." Ash says sitting down.

"What took so long?" is the first thing Misty asks.

"Mom was telling me to always have fresh underwear and was asking about you, Brock, Joy and Pikachu." He says.

"Oh, O.K. We're just going to chill till the bell rings, then were dismissed to our dorms again. Oh, and he was telling us we're doing the same thing like last year pretty except this year we have newer rules. Like no drawing on school property." She says and he stares at her questionably.

"Hasn't that been a rule?" He asks.

"Yeah, but now if you get caught it's a year in jail." Joy says.

"He asked me." Misty says.

"You were to slow." Joy says.

"Hey bro, what happened to your cheek?" Brock asks looking at Ash's cheek looking a little puffy and light blue and Ash jerks his head towards Misty. "Geez Misty, what'd he do to deserve that?"

"Deserve what?" She asks looking at him. "Oh Ash, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that to you. You shouldn't have scared me though. Ah, look at it. I think it's getting darker."

"It's O.K Mist. It was a natural reflex. Plus, like I said, you have an amazing swing." He says scratching Pikachu's ear.

Bing, bing, bing

"See you all tomorrow." Oak says as the bell rings releasing them back to their dorms.

"Hey guys. Hang on a sec." Ash says walking towards Gary.

"Damn it. Stupid exam. Why do they have to give these? Don't they know people have important things to do?" Gary says typing answers into his laptop.

"Like chasing after dumb girls to hook up with?" Ash asks.

"What do you want Ketchum?"

"I wanted to see what you're whining about."

"I am not whining." "Let me see that." "Hey!"

"Yeah you are. And Gyarados's pre-evolved Magikarp. Squirtle evolves into Warturtle, Bulbasaur learns Leech seed, not seed leech. Pikachu evolves from Pichu. And Tauros uses three-pronged tail." Ash say swiping the laptop from him and correcting it. "Here you go."

"Um, thanks." Gary says.

"Want to start over? You know as friends?" Ash offers.

Gary thinks over the offer before nodding. "Sure. Friends." He says and shakes Ash's hand.

"So, what's that for?"

"I'm going to be a Researcher like my Granddad.

"Awesome. Hey I got to go. Catch you later?"

"Sure." Gary says as Ash returns to Misty, Brock, Joy and Pikachu who is napping in Misty's bag.

In Brock and Ash's Dorm Pikachu is playing Skyrim while Brock is making supper on the stove top burners and microwave oven Ash bought him as a birthday joke which backfired badly since they were the exact burners oven set he's wanted and Joy is helping while Ash sits in one of the chairs with Misty in his lap in another argument.

"Pikachu would totally own, Magmorter." Ash says.

"I love Pikachu too, and I even prefer Water Type, But with this I believe the Fire type would win" Misty says back.

"Please, just like Water Pokémon, Magmorter wouldn't lay a finger on Pikachu."

"Water Pokémon would totally lay a finger on Pikachu."

"Nah."

"Yea."

"Nun uh."

"Yeah huh."

"They wish." "Agree they would tie." Ash says before Brock interrupts.

"Yeah. Both Pokémon could have an equal chance of laying a finger on each other." Joy says.

"I guess." Misty says.

"Yeah." Ash says rubbing her side.

"Pika Pi chu pika?" "Are you two going to sit on the couch licking each other's mouths again?" Pikachu asks looking away from his game.

"No." Ash says.

"What did he say?" Misty asks still not being able to understand him yet.

"He asked are we going to be licking each other's mouths again. Except it's called kissing alright Pikachu?" Ash says.

"Pi?" Kissing?"

Yeah. Kissing. It's what you called licking each other's mouth."

"Are we going to be kissing?" Misty asks.

"Pikachu you want us to kiss?" He asks jokingly and Pikachu shoots him a glare before unpausing his game and continuing. "He said yeah."

Misty giggles as she is turned towards him and he places his lips upon hers and she wraps her slender arms around his neck while his go around her waist.

"There they go again. I think I prefer the fighting." Brock says.

"I think it's kind of cute." Joy says handing Brock some lettuce.

In class the next morning

"So, class that is where a baby Pokémon comes from." Professor Oak says ending his power point. "Any questions?"

Everyone only stares after what was just seen. Finally Pikachu raises his hand.

"Yes Pikachu?" Professor Oak asks and Pikachu starts writing on his note pad.

Is that how Starter Pokémon are born? He asks by picking up his pad and holding it above his head before lowering it when Professor Oak begins to answer him.

"No, Starter Pokémon are produced differently. What happens is; a breeder will keep two of that Pokémon's gender in separate cages, and the others are in different rooms just like the others, that way when mating season comes the Pokémon will be very much in heat and seeing as there is only one mate they will have no choice but to relieve their… um… well… uh… tensions. And since there is no other male there is no competition and no harm to either the male or female Pokémon." He says.

Bling, bling, bling

"Oh my. I am sorry everyone. I lost track of time. See you all tomorrow." He says to everyone as they head back to their dorms glad that their classes are over.

"Finally. The school day is over. I'm so tired" Misty says as they walk out of the room.

"I know. That lesson didn't make the day any better either." Joy says.

"It wasn't that bad. The lesson yes, but not the others." Ash says.

"Pika pi." "I'm tired." Pikachu says.

"Come on Pikachu. You can ride in my bag, there is even ketchup in it." Brock says unzipping his duffel bag and after hearing there was ketchup, Pikachu didn't need to be told twice and was already halfway to it when he opened it and Pikachu barely fit through the small hole that was barely opened.

"Hey Misty you want me to carry you since you are tired?" Ash asks wanting a reason to hold her because he enjoyed having her in his arms and close to him.

"What about you Joy?" Brock asks seeing what Ash was getting at.

"The dorms aren't that far." Joy answers.

"Yeah, plus walking is good for you." Misty says though the more she thought the more enticing it was.

"Alright. Next time your tired don't expect us to offer." Brock says and he and Ash smile to each other as the girl's slowdown a little and share pros to being carried, plus they know they're not bluffing.

"You know it would be romantic." Joy says.

"Yeah, getting swept off our feet and into both of yours arms." Misty adds.

"Well, since you put it like that." Ash says turning around and sweeping her off her feet and Brock does the same and the girls giggle as they are carried and other couples watch and the girls hit their boyfriends in the arm or something for not being that romantic.

In the dorms the four teens are making out with their respectable partners while Pikachu continues his ketchup indorsed nap.

"Mist… do you…. want… to go… to Cerulean… next weekend?" Ash asks her between kisses.

"Sure… it's… better than… being… here." She answers between kisses. "Plus… we…can… stop by… the gym."

"Whatever… makes… you… happy… baby." He says slowly breaking the lip lock. "You want to join Brock, Joy?"

Brock only gives him a thumbs up and he takes that as a yes from the both of them.

"You want something to eat? Brock is um… busy." He says getting up.

"What do you got?" She asks.

""We got everything. See?" He says pulling up a part of the floor in the kitchen and is pulling out seemingly large box.

"Wow, and I thought he was relatively fit before." She thinks as his shirt tightens around his upper body as he pulls up the box.

Fuck. This is heavy solo. I bet she thinks I'm weak." Ash thinks finally pulling the box out of the hole and covering the hole back up.

"What is that?" She asks looking at the crate that was apparently important to Ash and Brock since they had it hidden so well.

"It's our stash." He answers before showing her the sections. "That's meats, also have fish and other stuff, those are veggies, those are wheat's, these are imports, oh there's dairy, and this is the sugary things like candy."

"You're our local market huh?" She asks.

"Yep. So what you want?" He asks.

"Um… You got steak?" She asks taking a guess at what type of meat they have.

"Yes. Anything else?"

"Potatoes?"

"Alright." He says taking out the foods she said.

The next morning Ash is up extra early to talk to Brock and Pikachu about the trip to Cerulean. First he starts with his best buddy Pikachu.

"Hey buddy. I need to talk to you." He says waking Pikachu who whines a little about it being early but gets up since it seemed important.

"Pi pi." "What's up?" Pikachu asks wanting to go back to sleep.

"It's about Misty and our trip next week."

"Pi pika chu?" "What about them?"

"Well the trip isn't just for Cerulean. That's why I need to talk to you."

After hearing that Pikachu is now wide awake.

"Alright buddy. You see the Cerulean gym is in trouble and Misty is too and, well I can't let anything happen to either of them."

"Pi pik pi pikachu?" "What type of trouble?"

"Misty leaving college or losing the gym. That's why I need to ask you something."

Now Pikachu understood. If he told Misty she would try and handle it herself, and then she might leave, and he liked her so she can't leave. Plus Ash is really in love with her.

"So can I ask you this very important question? Bulbasaur and the rest are in also. Even Charizard."

"This is some serious poop. If Charizard is in that it must be vital to him." Pikachu thinks to himself before answer. "Pi pik chu." "Sure I'm in."

"But I haven't asked yet."

Pika chu pik pi." "Doesn't matter. You're my best friend."

"Thanks man. But before you completely make up your mind, I have to tell you. It is a battle, and the chances of winning are roughly 0.00000003% without training."

Pikachu's jaw drops at those odds. But he still nods his head and Ash just hugs his partner for the sacrifice he is making. Next was Brock.

"What's wrong Ash?" Brock asks looking at the time and seeing its 5:30 A.M.

"I got to talk to you. I already talked to Pikachu."

"Well, you're up this early so I know this is important to you."

"I need you to back me up next week. When we go to Cerulean that is."

"Why?"

"Well, I can't really tell you without you know why, so I got my phone record from yesterday evening." Ash says handing him the phone and he mashes play.

"Hello? Who this?" A rough male voice says.

"Hi. You don't know me, but I know you and what you're trying to do with the Cerulean Gym." Ash's voice says.

"Are you a friend of Misty's because I don't care if you are her lover, because she will quit that stupid school and leave all of those distractions in her life behind her and she will run the Cerulean Gym until she is not needed anymore."

"Like hell. She is my girlfriend and you're not going to touch her gym, her sisters, their Pokémon or her."

"Hahaha. What are you going to do? Battle for her? Let your own Pokémon suffer for her? Hurt yourself for her? She's not even that important, her sisters either, let alone worth anything for someone like you."

"Alright you son of a bitch. You're going to take that all back. Everything you said even about her sisters. They are worth more than you are, you understand me?"

"I understand that I'm getting sick of you. Now you listen here and you listen well. Next week, Misty will decide. Her Gym and family or you. And from the sound of our last conversation the choice is the gym."

"No she will not. You know why? Because I have the best team on this fucking planet, you hear me? My team is fucking beast that they will follow me into a battle with our creator himself even if we all die. And speaking of battles I don't care that you have an EX Aegislash, Gengar, hell I don't care if you had fucking Mega Mew EXY INFINTY, I challenge to a battle for Misty and I will win." Ash says with an anger filled voice but the person on the other end just laughs.

"Well, well, well. Looks like someone has more words than brains. But you want this, you want that whore and her sisters." But that is all that is said before Ash snaps on the other end.

"ALRIGHT YOU MOTHER FUCKER! MISTY AND HER SISTERS ARE NOT WHORES. NEXT WEEK WHEN YOU THINK YOUR GOING TO TAKE THEIR GYM, ME AND MY POKÉMON ARE GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS, YOUR POKÉMONS ASS, YOUR WIFES ASS AND ANYONE WHO GETS IN OUR WAY, WE WILL KICK THERE ASS OR GET SCHOOLED TRYING."

"Well boy, if that's what you want, then so be it. 6 on 6 battle no time limit and trainers can enter the battle themselves. One condition though. You lose. You're going to quit college, you're going to work for us, you will dump and forget Misty, her sisters, your Pokémon, everything you love… you will forget them."

"And if I win?"

"Haha. Like that's going to happen but if you do. You get the deed to her Gym and everything goes back to the way it was before. You and Misty keep dating. Her sisters stay in the gym. Like nothing ever happen except you will then own the gym. Deal?" the male voice says and Brock can hear Ash's ragged breathing from his earlier outburst before the answer.

"Deal."

Alright you guys! What do y'all think? Ash versus Misty's Uncle and Aunt for Misty, her sisters and their gym. Will the match happen? Will Ash succeed? Will Brock help him? Will Misty find out? Will Gary be a Pokémon Researcher? So many questions that I don't even know the answers yet. Well I do some. Anyway. I got to take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) again in the morning it is 11:37 P.M. I finished at 11:05 P.M 3/18/15 so goodnight/good morning for whatever time you read this. 11:39-11:40 P.M.
