A/N This chapter is dedicated to my friend Emma, who is becoming a poke-pal xD

Today is the day, Ash trudged onto the field. Either I win, or I lose. He faced his opponent, the blonde Gary. "Welcome everyone to the final battle! Between Pokemon Master Elex Surge of Vermilion City!" The announcer paused letting the crowd cheer. "-And Trainer Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" Surprisingly, the crowd cheered for Ash louder than Surge's entrance. Ash smiled, waving at the crowd. Elex rolled his eyes. "This battle shall be three on three instead of all due to yesterday's shock!" Ash's pokemon ran through his mind. His Pikachu standing behind him. On the other side, Elex's Pachirisu glared at Pikachu. "Select your pokemon and let the Championship begin!"

"Electabuzz! Go!" Elex sent out one of his Champion pokemon. Electabuzz punched his chest, sparking.

"Charizard! Come on out!" Ash threw his pokeball onto the field, his fire pokemon roaring.

"Electabuzz! Use Thunder!" Elex commanded.

"Charizard, dodge and use Steel Wing!" Charizard wasn't built for speed, and was hit by the thunder. Charizard stuttered backwards, but continued with its attack, hitting Electabuzz squarely. Elex took this as an advantage of the close Charizard.

"Electabuzz! Get up and use Thunder Punch!" Elex demanded, Ash taken aback. Electabuzz got up and hit Charizard straight in the stomach, another jolt of lightning traveling through him.

"Charizard! Flamethrower!" Charizard was paralyzed, which was Elex's intention. Charizard twitched, trying to open its mouth.

"Electabuzz! Thundershock!" Electabuzz banged its chest again, powering up for a powerful lightning attack.

"Charizard! Fire Spin!" Charizard managed to breath fire and flap its wings, fire spinning around Electabuzz. Electabuzz quickly got burned, preventing from its attack.

"Electabuzz, use Lightningbolt! NOW!" Elex yelled, Electabuzz badly burned.

Gen. Surge shook his head from the box behind Elex. Close selected members of the challengers can sit in the box seats. "Do you think Ash can win this?" Misty asked, over at Ash's box.

"I dunno, this is a good match," May raised her shoulders.

"Come on Elex! You can beat this loser!" Lt. Surge cheered.

Electabuzz was already charged up, and sent out a spiked yellow glow of light at Charizard.

"Charizard! Use Fire Blast!" Charizard breathed fire at Electabuzz, who was too busy in his attack.

"ELECTABUZZ DODGE!" Elex stomped his feet, asking too much out of his pokemon. Electabuzz took one step until being hit with a circle of fire with a Japanese character in it. Electabuzz fell to the ground, along with Charizard. Charizard twitched as Electabuzz slowly got up.

"Charizard is unable to battle, choose another pokemon!" The announcer yelled.

"Charizard return!" Ash returned his orange pokemon. "You were the greatest. I couldn't ask anymore out of you." He hooked the pokeball on his belt again as he trailed his fingers to his next pokeball. "Heracross!" He threw out his grass/flying type pokemon.

"Hera!" Heracross hovered over the ground.

"Use Thundershock!" Elex yelled, pointing at the floating bug. The tired, burned Electabuzz raised its arms and flexed them towards his head.

"Heracross! Quick Attack!" The thunder couldn't match Heracross' speed, as it tackled Electabuzz, slamming it to the ground.

"Electabuzz is unable to battle! Select another pokemon!" Elex growled and returned its defeated pokemon.

"You're spending an extra day of battle training back in the army!" He yelled at his pokeball. "Luxray! Defeat him!" Elex sent out his dark/electric type pokemon.

"Heracross! Poison Sting!" Heracross shot poisonous needles at Luxray.

"Luxray! Agility!" Luxray sped side to side, but there were too many needles, hitting the real deal. Luxray stammered backwards. "Quick Attack!"

"Heracross! Fly upwards!" Luxray missed Heracross by an inch, landing back on the ground.

"Thundershock!" Elex shouted. Luxray shot a bolt of lightning at Heracross.

"Heracross! Sleep Powder!" Heracross sprinkled dust on Luxray, making it fall asleep.

"Luxray! Electrocute yourself!" Luxray charged itself, making it twitch awake. Misty gasped.

"That was a smart move… for a stupid person," she mumbled.

"Heracross, Quick Attack!"

"Luxray! Spark!" Luxray shook off the rest of the sleeping powder, only to be hit by Heracross. The spark hit Heracross, sending it backwards.

"Both pokemon are unable to battle! Choose your final pokemon!"

"Pika pika!" Pikachu said. Ash kneeled down.

"Pikachu, you've been with me this whole journey, all the way up to this. We knew this moment will eventually come. And I had always planned on using you to win this.. for us." He stroked Pikachu and stood up again. "Pikachu! I choose you!" He pointed, Pikachu running to the field.

"Pachirisu! Go!" Elex sent out his most powerful pokemon.

"Pikachu! Use Tackle!" Pikachu charged to Pachirisu.

"Use Tackle!" Elex commanded. Pikachu had the upper hand being larger, and hit the squirrel pokemon, knocking it to the side.

"Quick Attack!" Pachirisu got up, only to be hit again.

"Pachirisu! Use Thunder!" The white and blue pokemon shot a powerful lightning attack at Pikachu.

"Chu!" It cried, being his powerfully.

"Pikachu!" Ash yelled. Think, Ash, think! How did you win against Lt. Surge.

'Pikachu! Agility!'

"Pikachu! Agility and Spark!" Pikachu confused Pachirisu.

"Pachirisu! THUNDER NOW!" As Pikachu's spark attack collided with Pachirisu's Thunder, a huge explosion hit the two rodents, sending them flying.

"PIKACHU!" Ash cried, trying not to run out in the field.

"PACHIRISU!" Elex yelled.

"Pikachu…. Don't give up on me. Not now. Show them how great you are. How you are my prize pokemon. Show them!" He cried.

"Pachirisu, come on. Let's be Champions again!"

"Pikachu.. if we win this, we will be masters. Think of the new battles! Think of the fans you will get… Think of the.."

"ASH! WHAT DOES PIKACHU LOVE OTHER THAN YOU?" Misty shouted from the box. Ash's thought flickered.

"PIKACHU! THINK OF THE KETCHUP! THE KETCHUP PIKACHU!" Pikachu opened its eyes again, sparks lighting its cheeks.

"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu got up.

"PIK-A-CHUU!" Pikachu sent off a lightning dragon, eating Pachirisu.

"NOO!" Elex yelled.

"Pachirisu is… unable to battle. ASH KETCHUM OF PALLET TOWN IS A POKEMON MASTER!" Elex kicked the ground, heading right for Ash.

"You little piece of-."

"ELEX! YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE ARMY THIS INSTANT!" Lt. Surge smacked him, dragging the defeated Master out of the arena. Gen. Surge followed, shooting a glare at Drake. Everyone piled over Ash, Ash couldn't stop smiling.

"Ash! Ash! Ash!" The people cheered, Ash raising his hand. The Elite Four raised Ash from the crowd, placing him on a platform. Lance shook his hand, giving him a badge. Agatha handed him a medal, shaking his hand reluctantly.

"I liked Elex better.." She grumbled. Bruno stepped forward, giving him a new I.D, making him a part of the Indigo League Committee. He grabbed his hand, crushing it shaking it. Last, but not least.. well maybe, Lori came up and gave him a note.

"Read it later," she said in his ear. Ash waved again, and crouched down, Pikachu hopping in the trophy. He raised it up high, showing off his best friend.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu peerked.

"We did it buddy. We finally did it." Ash grabbed Pikachu, hugging him tight.

Ash looked out onto the lake, wearing his medal and official league jacket, very much like his old but with the title Pokemon Master, Ash Ketchum on the right side. Misty emerged from the forest, taking up the spot next to him. "So are you moving here, Mr. Pokemon Master?" Ash curled a smile, gazing at the moon bouncing off the water.

"Yup, but I'm not staying here for long. I will still be traveling." Misty watched the water, nodding. Ash turned to Misty, staring at her, "Misty?"

"Yes?" Misty pondered. Ash seemed to fumble with his words.

"Well I'm going to be out here for at least a month at first, since I have to go to meetings and stuff.. and I'm going to be lonely.." Ash scratched his head.

"You want me to move in?" Misty spat out what Ash couldn't say.

"If you want.." Ash said, open minded.

"Of course Ash, I don't want you to be lonely!" Misty cheered, Ash took a deep breath. Misty gazed out at the water again, Ash still looking at her. He unzipped his league jacket, placing it on the grass, he took off his shirt and jumped in the water, splashing Misty. "Ash!" Since she was wet, she jumped in as well. They laughed, splashing in the water, in the glow of the moon. Ash stopped just to look at her again, admiring her stunning qualities. He drifted closer, inches away from her face. Misty took one more breath, until he pushed his lips on hers, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Misty kissed back, slipping her arms around his neck.

"Misty, I've always loved you," he whispered, before kissing her one more time. It was a jolt of energy rushing through the both of them, the most pleasing feeling. They pulled away, Misty shuddering.

"I love you too," she said, hugging him tight. Ash squeezed her, Misty resting her head against his chest in the dark blue water.

"Awww! Hey! When do I get my love?" May grumbled. A green haired boy stepped from behind.

"Hey, I'm Drew," he said smoothly. May blushed and turned around, quickly fluffing her hair and doing a breath test. She whipped around and leaned against the rock.

"Why hello… Drew."

"Ok so here's your new I.D!" The man handed the green haired guy a plastic card. "Your name has been officially changed to Buffy!" Butch raised his I.D in the air

"Finally! People shall remember my name!"

"Come on Butch, we've got work to do!" Cassidy yelled.

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? THE NAME IS BUFFY! BUFF-IE!" Buffy slammed down his card, stomping his feet on it. "I DID ALL THAT PAPERWORK FOR NOTHING!"

A/N Done with Can't Catch 'Em All

I discovered I can type stories in the library on my laptop during study hall period (90 min) SO I can continue my writing more frequently.

Thanks for Subscribing, Favoring, AND all the DANDY reviews! You guys made my first day of High School even better! :D

And to make it more awesome... I got Pokemon HeartGold today! (I hear that you can get Luigia AND Ho-Oh so that's why I got it.. I would've gotten SoulSilver if you couldn't get both).
