Sorry for the long wait. But with Valentine's Day and all I felt the need to update. There's a new poll on my profile. I will update stories on the results of that poll. And the next story I might start is on my profile, it's called Secretly Loving It. Thanks to the reviewers.

Me: Wow, I'm so lazy.

Leaf: Yeah, you are.

Drew: Si.

May: Yup.

Paul: Affirmative.

Dawn: Pretty Much.

Gary: Like Yes.

Misty: Qui.

Ash: Positive!

Me: *sweat drop* Okay. Chapter 7: Abusing Your Love. Pokeshipping. Some in Misty's POV. And on we go!

"Leaf, are you okay with going to school today?"

"Sheesh Misty. I'm perfectly fine. Ash kind of gave me like confidence to go to school. He's a great guy for you."

Misty laughed. "He is, isn't he?"

"Well, I will see you at lunch."

"Bye Leaf!" Misty called out as Leaf walked into her 1st class of the day.

Leaf looked back and gave her a small smile, Misty peeked into Leaf's class to see her laughing with a blonde guy.

Misty smiled knowingly; maybe this was the real reason why Leaf was okay.

Paul and Drew walked into 1st period yawning.

As Drew walked into the room, he noticed that May was not there. Class started in 3 minutes and she was usually early.

Drew nudged Paul, "Where's May?"

Paul shrugged, "How am I supposed to know. She's not my girlfriend."

"She's not mine either!"

"Sure, sure. But how come she is the first thing that catches your eye?""

"What's that supposed to mean."

"Nothing at all. Is it possible that Drew Hayden, the heartthrob of Bell's Academy is falling for May Maple?"

"Shut up Paul. I'm not falling for May."

Paul gave Drew a look as they sat down.

"Okay, maybe I like her a little."

"That's what I thought," Paul said, smirking.

Ash boldly approached Misty as she sat alone at her table waiting for her friends.

"Hey Misty."

"What's up Ash?"

"I was wondering if I could take you out to lunch tomorrow."

"Sure, Ash."

"I mean like a date."

"I know."

Misty smiled at Ash before he left with a silly grin on his face.

As soon as the others girls came to the table, Misty became extremely overly excited.

"Guess what! Guess what?"

Zoey laughed, "I'm gonna take a wild guess, Gary got eaten by a pack of wild wolves."

Everyone laughed especially Leaf.

Misty smiled, "No, something even better!"

May groaned, "What Misty?"

"I got asked out!!"

Melody looked at her, "By Ash?"

Misty went into a fit of giggles.

Dawn smirked, "You know that means yes."

Leaf clapped her hands, "When?"

"Tomorrow."

The girls squealed with delight attracting confused looks from all the guys.

May's face suddenly turned grave and Misty, Leaf and Dawn soon understood as the figures of Drew, Paul, Ash and Gary walked over and sat down at their table.

May immediately got all up in Drew's face, "Who invited you to sit down at our table?"

"The fact that Ash is taking Misty out tomorrow," Drew teased, enjoying the looks of fury appearing on May's face.

May felt her teeth begin to grind. She pointed to the door. "Misty. Ash. You two are welcome to leave. Which in turn means Drew is too."

Gary clapped his hands to distract May. "So do you girls have plans for tomorrow, since its Valentine's Day?"

Dawn yawned, "I'll be sleeping in."

Everyone nodded but only Paul caught the double meaning of that.

Paul smirked," I'm probably going to be doing the same thing."

Dawn squeezed his hand underneath the table.

Leaf leaned to Zoey and whispered, "Do you get the feeling that we're missing something?"

Gary's ears perked as he heard what Leaf had to say.

Zoey piped up. "Kenny and I are going to see a movie."

Melody laughed, "And I'm probably going to crash their date."

Ash looked at Leaf, "Do you have anything planned?"

"Well actually, I'm going on a date tomorrow," Leaf confessed, blushing madly.

All the girls leaned in. "With who?"

"There's this really nice guy named James in my first class and he asked me on a date."

May laughed, "Looks like I'll be crashing that date."

Zoey and Misty looked over to see Gary's face turn to stone. He wasn't laughing or interested in Leaf's Valentine's Day plans along with everyone else.

Misty nudged May and pointed under the table to Gary.

May whispered, "It seems like he wanted Leaf to be single for tomorrow."

"Then it's a good thing she's not," Misty whispered back.

May was suddenly stiff and Drew's eyes began to glare with hatred. May slowly turned around to see who had placed their hand on her shoulder.

It was Brendan Birch.

"May? I was wondering if you had plans tomorrow."

May was speechless and began to fidget as she tried to think of a nice way to let him down until Drew stood up.

"Yeah, she has plans with me. So run along Birch."

Brendan met Drew's glare. "I don't believe a girl with a brain would actually agree on a second date with you Hayden."

"Well I did. Problem Brendan?"

Brendan and Drew both looked over at May surprised.

Drew sat back down as Brendan threw a hand through his hair. "No problem. Maybe next time May."

He walked away glaring at Drew.

May glared at Drew, "This does not mean we have a date tomorrow."

Drew sweat dropped at her anger.

Everyone else was now bored with them and began talking amongst themselves.

Drew leaned in to whisper to May. "Well how about you and I go spy on Ash and Misty's date. You know Birch will be following us."

"Eh…fine."

Drew smiled.

May pointed a finger at him. "But it's still not a date."

Drew put up his hands in defeat. "Fine by me. Did you think I actually wanted to go on a date with you?"

May exploded, "DREW HAYDEN!!!!"

Dawn interrupted, "If you two are done with your moronic argument for the day?"

Drew nodded to her. "I believe we are…for the day."

(MISTY POV)

"You are wearing these shoes with these pants with this shirt with this jacket and these accessories."

My eyes popped as I saw what my friends spent hours preparing for my date with Ash. Which was in 30 minutes!

Leaf got a brown jacket which was fashionable and warm. May picked out some really cool skinny jeans. Dawn, oh my god, found an adorable yellow halter neck tank and matching brown boots.

It was the perfect outfit.

As Dawn gave me some last minute pointers, the doorbell rang. My body temperature immediately went up by like 100 degrees.

Ash stood by the door. "Ready?"

"Yeah."

He led me to a red Ferrari and gallantly opened the passenger door for me. I slowly got inside, frightened.

He got inside and started the engine.

I found some courage inside me. "I didn't know you had a car."

"Yeah, we all do actually. But it was Gary's idea to get motorcycles, just so we would look like jackasses on our first day."

"He wanted you to look like jackasses?"

"No he and Drew thought we would look cool but Paul said we looked like jackasses."

I laughed.

He parked and we both got out.

"Oh my god," I gasped," How did you know I love this place?"

Ash grinned, "I have sources."

"May?"

"And Leaf."

"Ugh!"

Ash grinned and led me inside. As we ordered, we started talking about classes, friends, events, and the whole date was going great. I was so scared of running out of things to say but that didn't happen.

(Third Person POV)

Meanwhile Outside Starbucks:

"Hurry up Drew."

"Shut up May. I'm coming."

"Okay they entered Starbucks."

May and Drew hid in the bushes watching their friends through the window.

Drew peered through and spotted Ash and Misty.

"What's going on Drew?"

"They are laughing."

"That's it. No making out? No footsie?"

"Nope. They're a boring pair. What did you expect?" Drew rolled his eyes.

"Some sign of affection," May flared.

"Oh I'm sure Ash planned to have sex with her right on the table."

"Not like that!"May was blushing really hard.

Drew noticed this and leaned in. He could have swore May leaned in too. And right as their lips were about to touch…

"Hey! What are you two doing out here." It was a Starbucks employee.

Drew flicked his hair. "Can't two people make out in the bushes outside of Starbucks in peace?"

The employee didn't find that to be funny. "Get lost before I call the cops."

May slapped her hand on top of Drew's mouth to stop him from saying more. "Okay. No worries! We'll be going now."

"This bites," grumbled Drew.

They climbed into Drew's green Volvo.

"So what now," asked May?

"Wanna go catch a movie?"

May shrugged, "Okay."

They pulled out of Starbucks and drove to a nearby movie theater.

May noticed a blue car following them.

"Oh no Drew! Look at what we attracted."

Drew looked back to see the car through the rear-view mirror. And saw May's freaky stalker. But what else did he expect. Brendan was starting to get annoying.

"Not him…" Drew groaned.

The Girls' House:

Dawn walked around her house. "Where did everyone disappear to?"

She walked up to her bedroom and screamed as she saw Paul sitting on her bed flipping through her magazines.

"Not too loud. God. You'll alarm the whole neighborhood."

"Well I walk and see you. Not something I expected."

"You expected someone different?" Paul raised his eyebrows.

"No! It's just I thought you would be by later."

"I'll wait."

Dawn walked over. "Whatcha doing?"

"Looking through Seventeen."

"Why?"

"I think it's amusing to look at how better-looking I am than the models you put hearts around in here."

"Someone's modest." Dawn proceeded to take the magazine and kiss him. And went on to… well you get the picture.

And if anyone else knew what they were doing, the world would fall apart as they know it.

The Roller Rink:

"Ah! Help James!"

James grinned as he saw his date trying to stay balanced. He grabbed her hands and helped her skate with him.

Leaf started laughing hysterically as she struggled to skate.

James picked up Leaf and started to spin her around.

Underneath two hats, two girls began to spy. Melody and Zoey decided to stake out Leaf's date just in case one jealous heartbreaker thought to show.

Melody gushed as she saw James pick up Leaf. "They make the cutest couple!"

Zoey laughed, "I know. They could even be homecoming king and queen."

"Oh yeah, why aren't you with Kenny?"

"He caught that new flu that came out. I asked him if he wanted me to come over but he said he didn't want to get me sick."

"Aw. He's so sweet to you."

"Don't forget we are spying on Leaf and James. If they see us, we're busted."

Melody waved her hand dismissing the idea," We aren't spying. We're making sure Gary doesn't decide to crash a date between his ex-date and his rival."

Zoey laughed. "Leaf scored extra brownie points for picking his rival to date, even though she doesn't even know it!"

They were both laughing as the devil himself walked into the rink.

Melody glared, "Typical. I knew he was going to show."

"You don't think he would ruin their date."

"Knowing him, he's here to spy and he'll probably let Leaf see him and then she will want to go home and he'll be satisfied knowing he ended their date early."

"In that case, we need to keep him away."

As Gary began to skate, Zoey and Melody followed, keeping a watchful eye.

(Misty POV)

Ash drove me back to my house.

"Misty?"

"Yeah, Ash?"

"I had fun."

"Me too. Today was so much fun!"

"Wanna go out again after school tomorrow?"

"Sure."

Ash leaned closer and kissed me. I felt myself kissing back. It felt so natural with him.

"MISTY! I see you in the car. Get inside."

I reluctantly broke away.

Ash grinned sheepishly. "Looks like your mom is calling you."

"Dawn is so dead!" I grumbled.

Ash kissed my cheek, "Don't worry about it. See ya tomorrow."

"Bye Ash."

I walked over to Dawn who was waiting for me.

"So how was your date?" she asked.

"I'll let what you did slide this time."

I collapsed on my bed.

If I'm going to lose my powers, Ash is worth it.

I closed my eyes and feel asleep.

Ash and I went on three more dates that week. And I felt the powers beginning to fade. But not completely gone.

A week later, I happily walked into my first class waiting to see Ash's face. But I didn't. I didn't see him for the next three days.

I called to Gary as I saw him walking by. "Gary!"

"Sup?" He looked tired from anxiety or worry.

"Where's Ash?"

"I have no idea. A couple of days ago he packed some clothes and said he was going on a journey to Pallet Town. I don't know why he left."

I felt myself begin to frown.

"But why would Ash just mysteriously leave?"

END! Okay. Hope you liked the chapter. Next chapter for those Oldrivalshipping fans! Sorta.

Chapter 8: It's Only Fair. Oldrivalshipping!

Leaf and James are driving Gary crazy. Seeing his girl with his rival. Will a question from James to Leaf drive him over the edge? What will Leaf say?

"You hurt me, I hurt you. It's only fair. Now I don't want anything to do with you. Go back to your whore." Leaf turned on her heel, leaving a very stunned playboy by the name of Gary Oak.

----

"Leaf let me prove myself," said Gary.

"No."

"I know what you're hiding from me."

----

In the B-story Ash returns from his mysterious disappearance and Misty learns she is being pushed aside.

"Ash, where have you been?"

"I can't really tell you, Mist."

----

"Sorry Misty, but I'm breaking it off."

"Can I at least know why?"

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you."

Melody glared at Ash, "It's because you're gay, isn't it."

Ash looked at Misty, "I'll tell you if she leaves."

----

"So that's it? You're doing this, just because of that?"

"Sorry Misty, but it's not my decision."

"Fine," Misty ran past him, to her house and shut the door of her room and started crying.

Then there was a knock at her door.
