I got the prompt for this from one person who goes by many different names (L Jade E; my cousin; etc) so there has to be some credit given to her! :D


Ash and Misty were just having a normal day, then Ash insisted on a battle. Misty grinned to herself and nodded. Briefly setting her PokéBall down to tighten her ponytail, though, they heard a twanging sound. Misty's rubber band had snapped and flown off. "Aw, darn it," she muttered. "Whatever."

In the end, though, Misty won, thanks to her fiery hair distracting Ash from his battle. It was close, but with the breeze picking up and sending her hair that was so rarely down tumbling softly around her shoulders, Ash couldn't focus whatsoever.

When the battle finished, Ash groaned and returned his Pokémon. "Misty~! That wasn't fair!"

"How was it not?" She grinned and spun the PokéBall around on her finger before tucking it away. "I totally won."

"Well, I...uh...I challenge you, again!" he cried.

Misty snorted. "Dream on, Ash! Train first, would ya?" she teased, knowing it would get him riled up. It worked, and Ash growled before punching his fist into the air.

"I will, don't you worry!" he fired back.

Still in a teasing mood after her victory, Misty waved her hand dismissively; "Go knock yourself out!" She turned around to set up the campsite when she heard a familiar sound.

-POW!-

"Oof!"

Misty whirled around and gasped. "Ash!" He was lying on the floor, his breathing heavy and a little less even. When Ash didn't twitch, Misty stumbled back over. "Ash, what happened?" She hurriedly checked his vitals and couldn't find anything wrong. It was like he was asleep or something; otherwise he was perfectly normal. "Ash?" She shook him. "What happened to you?" Nothing.

Panicking slightly now, she sprinted to their camp set and grabbed his water bottle of cold water. Unscrewing the cap as she ran, Misty sloshed the entire freezing contents onto his face. Ash gasped and shot up into a sitting position. "What was that for?"

"What happened to you?"

"I was just doing what you said!" he whined, shaking the excess water away.

"What?" She was totally confused. Was he delirious?

"You said to knock myself out!"


Ha; I decided that Ash needed a pinch of "dense" in him. :)
