Yo peeps, GMG back with Chapter 7 of MBTIC. I hope you peeps understand that all of these chapters are the drafts being published. I just wing 'em and post them. One drawback is the length of chapters for which I apologize. On the brightside you guys get faster uploads. I'll try to work in Ash's aura this chapter... we'll see. I'm sorry, I really do just type off the top of my head. This chapter will be a picnic. *Grins* Literally. Also, I need to get Ash back to Pallet Town so his mom can embarrass him. Well, we may as well start now.
Disclaimer: Nope! Don't own. Not me!
Eterna Forest:
Ash and Cynthia were sitting in a clearing in Eterna Forest, watching the small bug-type pokemon crawl along. They had arrived after preparing lunch at Cynthia's house and brought it with them for a picnic. The two of them sat on a black sheet that was decorated with small yellow circles. (I'm sorry, but Cynthia's hair clips look like an Umbreon's ear) After they had finished eating, the two of them laid back on the sheet, staring up at the sky. They watched the clouds pass by as Cynthia snuggled up into Ash's chest. (Only submissive thing I'll use that makes it look like Ash has the pant's in the relationship.) Cynthia's mind wandered back to their date in the theater and the events leading up to their kiss. A flash of recognition flew through her mind. He had told her about rescuing Pikachu with the help of a Lucario. She looked at Ash, grey eyes locking with amber.
"Ash," she started, "Can you tell me of your adventure in the Tree of Beginning( I accidently used Tree of Life in chapter 3)?"
Ash nodded before he began to regale her with his tale. Explaining his many fights in the tournament, leading to the events in the ballroom and the release of Lucario. How Kid Summers had joined them as they explored the giant stone tree. He then told her of how he and Lucario healed Mew at the cost of Lucario's life. Cynthia perked up at the mention of him using Aura to heal Mew.
"Ash, can you use Aura to any degree?" She asked, hoping he said yes.
"Sure did," he said, "I even found myself a teacher." He held out a hand and formed an Aura Sphere in the palm of his hand.
Cynthia stared at the orb, it's light illuminating her face with a soft blue glow. She looked back at Ash, eyes full of wonder.
"Can you teach me?" She asked, excitement evident in her tone.
Ash nodded and explained the mechanics behind it. 10 minutes later and Cynthia had her own Aura Sphere. The weird thing was that it was a solid gold color with streaks of silver and black shifting throughout it. She looked at it before glancing at a nearby tree. With a flick of her wrist, the sphere shot from her hand flying straight through the tree before it dissipated. She pounced on Ash, thanking him profusely for teaching her. He would've responded but her chest was suffocating him. What neither had noticed was that Dawn had been spying on them. She had heard Ash explain how to do the Aura Sphere and had practiced it. Above her palm floated a sphere that illuminated with a malevolent purple. She turned away from the two, sneaking out of the forest.
When Cynthia's excitement had passed, she climbed off Ash and kissed him chastely. The two picked up all the picnic materials and exited the forest. Once more Pidgeot landed them in front of Cynthia's house, the two entering it and shutting the door.
The two climbed the stairs and headed into Cynthia's room. She pushed Ash onto the bed and crawled in beside him. She rest her head on his chest allowing sleep to overcome her. It was an afternoon nap, nothing important.
Dream:
She found herself sitting in her living room with Ash, a Christmas Tree in the corner of the room. Sitting near the tree, she saw something that nearly brought tears to her eyes. There before the tree, were two small children. One was a small girl, no older then seven, with blond hair and little lightning bolts underneath her pale amber eyes. The other was a boy, who looked to be about 12, he had wild black hair and grey eyes, his face clear of the lightning bolts his sister had. The two children were opening presents and showing them off to the other. Cynthia leaned into Ash's shoulder and smiled at the heartwarming sight.
She knew this was a dream. A dream that would one day become reality. She looked at one of the room's walls scrutinizing it.
There on the wall was a deep spherical gouge and the area surrounding it was blackened. What did that mean? Did something happen before this happy dream. She wondered what could've happened. She was about to ask Ash but the dream began fading, her mind returning to the conscious realm.
Chapter End.
This wasn't too long but it'll do for now. Hope you enjoyed. GMG, Signing off!
