Stronger Love Forever Lost!

Benz: YA time for another successful chapter! Well, here it is! (I'm going to fool around for awhile with this story, if you don't mind!)

..

"So, where are we going?" Ash asked, a little stuffy since he was starting to get a little tired from the long walk.

Misty frowned, "Ash, we've been walking for half a day, and we past two towns. You're not that tired are you?" she asked.

Ash stood up straight, "Uhh, no. Of course not, Misty."

"Good."

Dawn looked on her poketch, "Well, we are on our way to Hearthrome City." Dawn said, then she gasped, "I remember I use to enter a contest there almost every month! The place brings back memories." she placed her hand on her chest and she had stars in her eyes.

"It's okay, I guess. I just went there to battle the gym leader." Barry said, he was cleaning his Sinnoh gym badges, all eight of them.

"If you were like me, you would have stayed for awhile and talk to people and look around. Wouldn't it be nice to say hi to a certain stranger?" Dawn asked.

Barry shrugged, "I guess."

When they entered the City they were greeted by this hiker standing by the sign that said, Welcome to Hearthrome City, a city filled with positive activities. "Why, hello there young trainers. Welcome to Hearthrome City."

Dawn smiled, "Hi, there. Thanks."

"Would you care if I gave you something?" he asked.

Barry tilted his head, "Only if it's something astonishing than that shovel in your back pack."

Dawn glared at Barry, "What he means is, yes we would care if you did."

The hiker took off his bag and digged through it, looking for something, "Ah, here it is." he pulled it out, whiched shocked all of them. "This is a pokemon egg. Would you like to keep it. I had it for awhile now so it should hatch soon, but I'm not sure what pokemon would hatch out." the hiker said.

Dawn took the egg. "Sure, thanks. We would take care of it." Dawn said, putting it in her bag.

The hiker laughed, "Thank you so much. Just think of it as a welcome gift from me."

Dawn nodded, "Bye."

Ash and Misty greeted him and past him. Barry looked at Dawn, "Really, you agreed to take his egg?" Barry asked, an annoying tone in his voice. But, he refused that tone from her bright smile.

"I'm just being nice." Dawn said, "See that's how I get people to like me, by being nice."

"Well don't be to nice to people, it's kind of hard to trust some people you don't know." Barry said.

"Yeah, I was unsure of trusting you. But thanks." Dawn said.

Barry sighed, "I don't want fight with you, I'm just giving you a great fact that maybe you shouldn't do it to all people. Yeah, it's great to be nice, but don't push it."

Dawn sighed, "Alright. I agree with you with this one."

Ash ran up next to Dawn, "So, Dawn. Where to first? We can do something before my battle with the gym leader. Maybe a walk in the pokemon park?"

Dawn thought about it, then something popped into her head, "Hey, Misty! Wanna go make some poffins?"

Misty smiled, "Yeah! I never made some in a while! Let's go!" Misty said, running next to Dawn on thier way to the Poffin shop. Leaving Barry and Ash behind.

Barry looked at Ash, "What was that about?"

"I don't know, girl thing?" Ash replied.

Barry shook his head, "No, not that. You getting towards Dawn. It feels like your trying to flirt with her while your with Misty. What's up?"

Ash shrugged, "I don't know what your talking about, Barry." he said, walking off when Barry stopped him by standing in front of him.

"Admit it, Ash. You like Dawn than Misty." Barry snarled.

Ash's hands started to sweat as Pikachu looked away. "What are you talking about, Barry? I like Misty than Dawn. What eles? I'd already confessed to her."

Barry shook his head, "Your lying. Stop it, I know when your lying, it's obvious!"

Ash raised an eyebrow, "Is it just?" he said, walking past Barry.

"Yes it is. Your being a playboy right now. Since, when did you think of girls?" Barry asked.

Ash smirked, "Alright, Barry. You got me. I am in love with Dawn and Misty."

Barry chocked on his spit and he grabbed his scarf, "WAIT A DARN SECOND! Y-You like-love-WHAT?!"

"Yup."

Pikachu was even surprised that he couldn't handle sitting on Ash's shoulder anymore, he jumped to the ground.

"So your saying, you love Dawn and Misty together? WHY?" Barry's face was full of concern and a little over discust that his friend is a player.

Ash didn't answer, his smile was sly.

Barry smacked his face, "Oh, god. You know Dawn does not like you back!"

"I know."

"Then why keep trying to get her?" Barry asked, he wanted to slap this kid back to his normal dense self.

"Between you and me, I like the hard to get ones. So, I WILL get her." Ash said, running his fingers through his hair, "That's just who I am now."

And that's when Barry connected his hand to Ash's face, slapping him hard that he fell to the ground. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR PLAYING AROUND WITH HER!" he yelled.

MEANWHILE

Dawn and Misty were both having a great time making poffins with their pokemon. "This is great, Misty. I really like having time with you. It's fun!" Dawn said, her face was bright, that she can lighten up the whole store with it.

"Thanks, Dawn. I like hanging out with you. It's been awhile since we had a one." Misty said, finishing mixing her pot of poffin mix and putting them in the oven.

Dawn smiled and nodded.

"So, what's up with you and Barry? You two have been fighting alot lately." Misty asked, she smiled at Dawn who's face flushed.

"Nothing. It's just our way of chemistry, I guess. Besides, we did this alot when we were little. Nothing new." Dawn said, taking her freshly made poffins out of the oven. "But, what's up with Ash? He's been kind of flirtatious around me."

"What?! When?" Misty asked, her eyes furrowed at her.

"I don't know, everytime he comes up to me, I guess. I don't even like him. Sure he's a good friend but that's all he is to me, nothing more." Dawn explained, placing the poffins in her poffin case.

"Hm..." Misty sighed, "I guess being famous is getting to his head, everywhere he goes he has girls falling like rocks around him. It's insane! But when I'm around ho-oh, they know they don't want this day to be their last."

Dawn cracked a smile, "Your such a good friend Misty."

"I know I am."

MEANWHILE!

Barry took out his Floatzel and used Aqua Jet on Ash's face to wake him up from the wonderful slap Barry shot.

Ash woke up and sat up, the water still going on his face as he tried to dry off his face, "Okay, I get it. I'm awake!"

"Good, just making sure." Barry said, his additude in high anger. "Just to keep things straight, you're never ever going to get Dawn! You here me Ketchum?! NEVER!" Barry yelled in his face.

Ash looked at him confused but he smirked, "Why not?"

Barry's face when soft, "Because... I... I like her..." Barry said, pausing.

"That's sweet, but I'm getting her first." Ash said, standing up.

And that's when Barry slapped the pain out of Ash again.

Benz: Haha, that was kind of fun! Things suddenly changed with Ash Ketchum! And it would stay like that... For fun! Thanks for the reviews and reading, I'm sure to be updating soon as possible! Stay tune!
