Characters: Misty and Ash

Letter: D

Demon

"You're a monster!" The little girl screamed at Misty.

Misty's eyes were wide with horror. She returned Gyrados and looked at the little girl. Her fainted Bulbasaur was clutched tightly in her arms and the girl was glaring hatefully at Misty.

"I..." Misty's words were ripped right from her mouth.

"As a gym leader aren't you just supposed to beat challengers? Not crush them into the ground?" The girl snarled.

"I couldn't be sure how good you were! You were so confident! And most challengers that come here have already won the Badge Badge..." Misty protested.

The girl spat at the ground. "You're a monster. The cruelest gym leader ever!" She turned and ran out of the gym.

Misty sunk to her knees on the battle platform. "I'm sorry..." She said quietly.

She cried quietly on the platform for a while. During this time, someone had entered the gym. He walked into the battle arena. He saw the gym leader, but didn't notice her crying.

"I challenge you for a Cascade Badge!" He yelled, striking a victory pose.

"Not now." Misty managed between her sobs.

The boy did a double take when he saw Misty crying. "Mist?"

She ignored him and wrapped her arms around herself. "I'm a monster… A demon…"

The boy let out a sharp breath of air and ran over to her. "Mist, why would you say that? You are not a demon. I promise you." He hugged her and her sobs slowed to a temporary halt.

She looked up at him. "Because I used Gyrados! Because I overestimated someone and beat them into the ground! Because I didn't care that I did it! Because I didn't feel anything when I crushed a girl's dreams until she called me a monster. Because I am one…" Her green eyes were crystallized in anger and shame.

He tightened his grip and held her close. "No. You are not a monster." He repeated slowly and clearly.

"And why is that? I think I proved to be one…"

"You are Misty. You are fiery, strong-willed, competitive, compassionate and patient. Because you love winning and you can't back down from a challenge. But those are the things that make you Misty. And I wouldn't want you any other way. Everyone has ugly parts on the inside. You just have to look past those and see the good. Because there is always more good than bad…"

She smiled, her eyes once again watery. "Thank you. But really there are a whole lot of demons in my mind… They seem to take over a lot… I just can't control it…"

"But like I said, that's what makes you Misty."

"But what if I don't want to be Misty? She is a demon. Her soul is full of dark, dark demons…"

"Don't say that. Because you don't know that for sure. What if it's just one big demon using double-team over and over again, to make her feel bad about herself." He poked her cheek and she giggled.

She wiped her eyes and looked at him. "Demons aren't Pokemon."

"So what? Same idea. Besides, demons are a part of everyone we just have to look past them, not matter how big, how bad and how ugly they may be…"

She stared at him. "But what if mine is so ugly it kills you to look at me…"

"Then I'll use a mirror."

"What if you died by listening to me?"

"I'll wear earplugs and we'll write our messages."

"What if I told you I was jealous when you left me for those other girls…"

"Then I'd say I was jealous when I saw you with other guys…"

"What if I told you I loved you?"

"Then I'd kiss you." He replied simply.

Her emerald eyes widened. "Ash…" She breathed.

He smiled and tipped his head down. Their foreheads met. Misty leaned up and closed the gap between their lips. It was soft and gentle, almost comforting… Misty felt her sorrow melting away as she kissed him…

Then she smirked. She had her groove back, her confidence back and no demon was ever gonna take it away again. She grabbed Ash's shirt collar and pulled him into the kiss, leaning back slightly.

Unfortunately, this was far enough to send both of them tumbling down, and into the freezing pool. They surfaced, both laughing.

"Hey Misty you ok?" Ash called, his wet hair fell in his warm chocolate eyes. "Still feel evil?"

She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, ignoring the west clothes and water all around them. "Nope. I just feel like me. Angels and Demons together. And maybe that's not a bad thing…"

"Yeah but you still pulled us both into the pool…And I'm all wet..." Ash complained, but none the less, wrapped his arms around Misty's waist.

"Well that can easily be fixed, on one condition…" She smirked.

"And that is?"

She gave a sly look and pulled him in close, their foreheads touching once again… "Kiss me again…"

Pikachu sighed as he watched the two trainers, soaking wet, kiss in the pool… Oh well it was bound to happen soon… The sexual tension between those two was killing EVERYONE… He shook his head and scampered away.

Author's Note: LONGER CHAPPIE! WOOT! I'd say that was a long drabble/short one-shot... And they kissed! Woo! Heehee :) took me until chapter 4 to put something with a kiss up... and cookies for mazinkaiser! ONE of TWO songs I listened too while writing that chapter was Life is a Highway. The other was Shut Up and Drive from Wreck It Ralph... I loved that movie... Cookies again for anyone who can guess this song's chapter :P This one is easy...
