MBR: For all of those people who have been complaining, here's another chapter kuz I'm just so cool (not!)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that involves Pokémon, but it would be cool if I did.
"Mom!" complained Ash. "Can't you see that we're in the middle of a battle?" The two Pokémon stopped in mid attack.
"I don't care Ash," scolded Mrs. Ketchum holding a bag of groceries. "You told me that you were coming home for 'some time away from the battle' and yet I see you here in front of your own house battling. Seriously,"
"Nice to see you too Mom," replied Ash quite embarrassed.
"Oh, Ash," Mrs. Ketchum dropped her bags and ran over to her son. "I just get so worried about my baby while he's gone."
"Mom! You're embarrassing me!" screamed Ash from within the hug. A small anime sweat drop hung form Gary's head as he snickered quietly while Ash was being smuggled. "What's all the food for Mom?" asked Ash when he was finally free of the hug and was allowed to take in the situation.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm making your favorite dinner as a celebration of you coming home," said Mrs. Ketchum with delight.
"Ya mean it Mom!" Ash suddenly noticed Mr. Mime trying to pick up the groceries that Mrs. Ketchum had dropped. "Let me help you with that Mr. Mime."
"Mime!" replied Mr. Mime happy to have some assistance.
"Ya mind if I come over for dinner too?" asked Gary.
"Not at all," replied Mrs. Ketchum. "The more the merrier!"
"Hey! Can Professor Oak and Tracy come over as well?" asked Ash form the open door. "I want to tell them all about my adventures in the Hoenn League."
"Of course."
-o-
(I can't think of anything thing to put in here! Moving on.)
'What a night,' though Ash morning had come too early. 'All those games last night made me tired.' Opening his eyes slowly Ash turned and took a good look at his Pikachu. Pikachu had grown over the years in size and strength, but still refused to evolve into a Richu. Ash smirked, 'Still stubborn as always,' he thought. 'I guess that's why Pikachu and I get along so well. Well… that and other things.' Careful not to wake his good friend Ash slipped quietly out of bed and got dressed. Just as Ash finished dressing Pikachu slowly woke up.
"Hey buddy. Ya sleep well last night?" whispered Ash so as not to wake up his mom.
"Pikachu," replied the electric mouse with a yawn.
"Come on. We've gotta big day ahead of us," said Ash with a grin as he grabbed two tickets for the next bus to Cerulean City.
-o-
"Welcome, welcome to the Cerulean City Gym! Please line up in an orderly fashion so everyone can get their tickets!" exclaimed an energetic Lilly.
"Hey Lilly! What's up?" Ash called running toward the gym.
"Hello Ash. How are you?"
"Great! Is Misty around?"
Lilly giggled. "Um hum. She should be like in her dressing room right now."
"Thanks Lilly. Good luck with the show!"
Running toward the dressing room Ash accidentally ran into Daisy. Apologizing Ash continued on his search for Misty. "Was that Ash?" asked Daisy.
"Yep," giggled Lilly. "Looking for his girlfriend if you can believe it."
Daisy giggled. "Misty is sooo lucky to have a boyfriend like Ash. I wish I had a boyfriend."
"Didn't you have like four last week?"
"Yep, but they were all like shallow."
Lilly sighed. "Do you know what's like really sad Lilly? I don't think Misty even knows that Ash has a crush on her."
-o-
"Misty?" called Ash through the door. "You in there?"
"Oh Ash! Come on in." Misty replied slipping a top.
"Hey Misty," said Ash as he slowly opened the door. "Wow! You look really nice."
Misty was wearing a blue sequenced tube top with a light blue layered skirt. Her hair was pulled back into two high ponytails coming out just above her ears.
"Thanks. I'm performing a song and dance number soon."
"Yeah I heard about it in the news."
"Pika pikachu."
"Oh, hi Pikachu. How are you doing?" said Misty picking up Pikachu
"Um… Misty…" said Ash uneasily.
"Yeah Ash, what is it?"
"Well…um…I…um…we've been friends a long time and I… um…"
"Ladies and Gentleman! Our show, Songs of the Sea, will begin in a few short minutes."
"Oh, looks like I'm on soon," remarked Misty letting Pikachu get down. "What was it that you were going to tell me?"
"Um…nothing. I'll see you after the show!" depress Ash began to leave.
"Oh, Ash!"
"Yeah?"
"After the show, will you tell me what you wanted to say?"
Ash paused surprised. "Sure, after the show."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay, good luck Misty."
"Thanks Ash"
-o-
"Arg! My one chance to tell Misty that I like her and I stumble! I sounded so pathetic."
Pikachu looked up from his drink that Ash had kindly bought. Reaching a paw out to his friend, Pikachu reassured Ash that he did well for his first time, (not in English of course).
The lights suddenly went out and the voices of the audience slowly disappeared. Three light illuminated three of the Cerulean Sisters. In a swift dive the girls landed in the water and began swimming around with the water pokémon. Music began to play as Misty walked onto the diving board in a gorgeous dress. The audience gazed aw as Misty began preferring a beautiful solo about the ocean and true love. As Misty gracefully danced Ash realized that she was the only girl for him. Misty was then, now, and forever would be his true love.
