In response to your question, TriforceP: Really I don't care about their ages that much, but I picture them being around 16 or 17, so yeah.
Thanks guys for the great reviews, and I will finish this story by the end of the week. Other than that all I can say is, thanks readers. You have all pushed me to write more since I started this account last weekend! I really enjoy writing Advanceshipping even more than I thought I would, so yeah wow!
This story will be quite a bit longer than I thought it would be, but I think that is for the better right.
Anyways enough ranting, let's get on with the chapter!
Pikachu had never gone this long without being with Ash. It was nice talking with the other Pokèmon around the ranch but, it was abnormal. So now he sat there, in the grass talking to Gliscor about air battles. It wasn't all that interesting to him but, he barely paid much attention. His mind was the events of the previous day, when they had arrived in Pallet town.
Flashback:
"Hey PIkachu," Ash told the small yellow mouse on his shoulder. "Pika?" he asked. Ash took a deep breath as if nervous, and began. "Listen buddy, I was kinda hopin' that you could stay here with everyone else tonight." This surprised Pikachu. What could he possibly be doing? "Chu pikapi?" Pikachu was curious. "Well, you know that May and I didn't get much time alone in Sinnoh. So I was hoping to take her to watch a sunset." Pikachu smiled and nodded. "Thanks buddy." Ash winked.
End Flashback
Ash's eyes opened slowly. He was still extremely tired. He opened his eyes fully, and felt a familar weight on his chest. He looked down to see May's arms wrapped around him, and her head laying on his chest. He smiled.
"Ash..." May said quietly, seemingly still dreaming.
He just smiled and ran his hand through her silky hair. He wanted to get up and go take a shower, but he felt he enjoyed this too much. He looked to his left, and lo and behold, his electric mouse, Pikachu, was sitting right there.
Pikachu looked up at Ash and let out a low "Pika!" He was happy to see him. Ash just smiled while continuing to caress May's hair. Earning a subtle sleepy grin from her. Pikachu just smiled as he observed the moment.
May then stirred, as she started to wake up. She cracked one eye open to see Ash's shirt which she had nuzzled into in her sleep. She then opened the other eye to see a big surprise. Pikachu! She quickly sat up, pressing down on Ash's chest, knocking the wind out of him.
She paid no attention to him, as she leapt up out of bed, and ran over to Pikachu. Pikachu looked up in shock, as she picked him up and squeezed him! "Hey Pikachu! I missed you buddy! How are you!?" Pikachu just peeked over her shoulder, giving Ash a look that said: What did you do to her?' Ash just gave look back at him mouthing "I don't know!"
"Pika! Chuuuu!" Pikachu got out of her grip using a light Thundershock. May dropped to the ground with a silly grin on her face. "Wow Ash, Pikachu really packs a punch!" She groaned. Ash started cracking up! Pikachu joined him, and soon they were both on the floor laughing until tears came from their eyes.
May quickly got up in the midst of it all, while they were dying of laughter. She grinned evilly as she leapt at Ash, pinning him to the ground. This snapped him out of his laughter, but Pikachu laughed even harder at this.
"Ash Ketchum! Are you laughing at me!?" May exclaimed in a mock angry voice. Ash's face went pale. He didn't notice she was playing with him! She decided to use this to her advantage. While Ash was still pinned underneath her, scared shitless! "Ash! If you laugh at me again, you are gonna get it!" She subtly smirked, trying to hide her laughter as Ash pleaded. "Ma- I'm so sorr-! Pik- chu- and then you- and then-" His voice was cracking with fear!
'Wow she can really get to him!' Pikachu thought. 'Ash is really falling for this... Well I've had enough mean fun with him now. I guess I can give in to his "Pleas". He is just taking it so seriously though!' May chuckled to herself.
She leaned down to level her lips with his, as she kissed him. Still surprised, Ash tensed up! Soon he gave in though and returned it. "Wh- ha- d- bl- ak-" Ash stuttered. He was hopelessly confused. May put a finger on his lips to shut him up. "Calm down, Ash. I was messing with you. By the way, you look really cute when you're confused." She said comfortingly.
Seeing enough of this, Pikachu, walked out of the open door, and down the stairs. He crawled up to Delia, who had been sitting on the couch, just waiting.
Back with Ash and May, they were back to making out. This time on his bedroom floor. Ash turned towards his nightstand and saw the clock. It was 11:00 in the morning. He looked back towards the open door and his eyes widened! "What is it, Ashy" May asked. The look of horror in his eyes at what he suspected. She didn't quite catch on.
"May," His voice shook. "Did we leave the door open last night?" He asked. "No, I don't think so, why?" His face lost all emotion, except for fear. "Who let Pikachu in!? He can't open that door by himself!" Ash started trembling. Then it hit her. She wasn't nearly as worried as he was. Though she did show some concern. "Your mom!" She realised.
She quickly got off of him, and helped him up. They both gulped. They slowly gripped each other's hands, as they walked down the stairs. To their pure horror, there was Delia, sitting on the couch. She didn't look happy.
She opened her mouth to speak. "So... I walk into your room this morning." She starts. She sounded really pissed off. "I was dropping off Pikachu, because Tracey had brought him over this morning." She paused. Ash and May both had their eyes wide open. It wasn't like they were doing anything. They were just simply sleeping. Ms. Ketchum, though, didn't seem to care. "I saw you two, both in Ash's bed!" She bit her bottom lip, and nodded. Anger evident in her expression. "Well Ms. Ket-" May was cut off. "Listen here young lady! How would you like me to tell your parents that you are sleeping with a boy!?" They both stood there silent.
"I thought you guys had decided not to do that kind of stuff! Remember!?" She sternly remarked. They both blushed. "Umm... Mom," Ash started. "We don't do that... Not yet at least, so you have nothing to worry about!" Her expression remained the same. "What do you mean!? Do you know what you two sleeping in the same bed together implies?" May followed, and understood what she meant. Although Ash understood. He still wondered why she would think that they were doing, that!
Suddenly she burst out in laughter! "You two really thought that I was mad!?" She teased. What was wrong with his mother? They both wondered. "You two! Actually thought, that I thought you were doing things!?" Wow... They had to admit that she had them there.
After explaining to them the reasoning behind her little prank... They all sat in the livingroom having a nice conversation, while enjoying donuts, that they had bought the previous night. "Ya know, Ash," Delia began. "I actually thought it was kind of cute, the way you two were cuddling... I was a tiny bit mad at first, that you two would actually think of sleeping in the same bed, but I ended up shrugging it off." This surprised them both. The prank that she had pulled on them was way sicker than the prank May had pulled on Ash.
"Well Mom, I'm glad you approve." Ash said as he put his arm around May. "Hey Ash, do you think that we could go for a walk?" May asked. He smiled, and turned to her. "Sure, but do you mind if Pikachu comes?" He replied. "Oh wow Ash, of course he can come!" She gave him a thumbs up.
After finishing their conversation with Delia, the two headed out. Walking for a while hand in hand, with Pikachu, back on his rightful perch on Ash's shoulder. They walked throughout Pallet town.
After a little bit, Ash stopped. "Ash?" He smiled at her. "May, I think it's time I show you something." He said. At this she just followed him. They were going in the direction of the hill that they were on last night. But instead of going straight at the sign, they went left.
Eventually approaching a small indent in some tall bushes, that looked like it had been overgrown and cut down several times.
"Where are you taking me, Ashy?" May asked curiously. "Don't worry, sweetie. You'll see..." As she followed him through the opening. As soon as she came through her eyes widened! There was a lake, that she never saw on any maps. It was a beautiful sight!
"Wow Ash, this place is-" He cut her off. "-Beautiful?" She was surprised. In the entire time she'd known him, that was the first time he had said anything was beautiful. Other than toward her, he had never heard him say it. "Yeah..." She trailed off. "I love it Ash!" She said as she slipped out of her trance and hugged his arm.
After finding a place to sit near the lake, they were laying down. Ash was sitting up with his legs folded, as May had her had placed in his lap. They were staring into each other's eyes intensly, as Pikachu was out playing in the water with May's Glaceon. "Thank you, Ashy! This is by far the most romantic place that we've ever been!" Ash rubbed his head sheepishly. "Yeah, I hoped you'd like it." He smiled at her. "Ash, you know I love it!" With this he leaned his head down and kissed her.
They broke apart again, to stare into each other's eyes. "So Ash, what time will we be leaving tomorrow?" May asked. "Well, the ferry leaves at 11:00 in the morning tomorrow, so I guess then." He told her. "Thanks Ashy, for staying with me all this time." She shyly said. "What do you mean, May?" He was confused by what she meant.
She took a deep breath. "Well for sticking with me, despite having to keep it a secret. I'm sorry for that, by the way." She finished, a frown appearing on her face. "May, it's fine. I kind of enjoyed it at times, actually..." He smirked. Now it was May's turn to be confused. "What do you mean, Ash?" He chuckled. "Well," He cleared his throat. "I always thought it was fun sneaking away from the group, and making out. Not only that, but I also enjoyed sharing moments with you, that only we know about. It doesn't really matter who knows, I guess, as much as it matters that I can have the honor of being with you. Enjoying your company!" This perked her spirits up a bit.
After finishing another intense make out session, they sat there for a while enjoying the horizon turn orange behind the lake.
They decided it was getting late, and that it would be a good idea to get some sleep before the next day's journey to Hoenn, so they took Pikachu, and left.
Later that night, they were both laying in Ash's bed, while watching a movie. They were cuddled up just like how they were, when they went to sleep the night before. They were watching a chick flick that May had suggested, and Ash, being the Mister Nice Guy he was, gave into it. The whole movie was garbage... at least in his opinion. It was about some Pokèmon trainer, trying to ask a coordinator to go on a date with him... It was lousy.
"May," Ash began.
He had slowly started to worry about what her parents would think over the last few hours. With his wory not ending, he decided to look to May for reassurance. She was always good at that!
"What is it, Ash?" She looked up at his face from his chest. "It's not too big of a deal I guess, but, I keep worrying about what your dad will do if he doesn't, ya know... approve." He sighed. She just looked back up at him. She gave him a big smile. "Don't be such a worry wart, Ash! I thought I was the worried one." She chuckled, still showing a caring look on her face. "Everything'll be fine!" She told him.
"I promise." She said, reaching her head up to give him a peck on his cheek.
Well I've never left an AN at the end of the chapter before, but the next chapter will be really interesting! I have a little surprise, that I think NONE of you will expect! So, look forward to that!
