Year of the Ships-
A/N- Hey, I made it on time! Yay! Another request by Satoshi and Touko, Pokesilvershipping! I spent all day yesterday and the day before watching Lyra episodes, so I hope I get her character right. It's been so long since I've seen DP...
Sorry if it's not good. I was up all night last night, so I'm sort of tired today...
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

"Marill! Mar!" Ash looked around. He could have sworn he had heard something...
"Mar!" There it was again! It sounded like... A Marill. A very familiar Marill...
Pikachu jumped off of his shoulder and ran towards an alley. Ash followed after. A Marill sat in the alley, next to an unconscious girl.
"Lyra!" Ash cried, kneeling next to his friend. He looked at Marill. "How did this happen?" He asked. Marill pulled at her face, morphing it into something else. Ash gasped. "Team Rocket?" He asked.
Marill nodded. "We have to get her to a Pokemon Center." He said firmly, picking her up bridal style. Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder, and they ran to the nearest Center.

Lyra groaned, sitting up. She was in a dark room that she didn't recognize, and her head hurt badly.
She gasped as she remembered what had happened. "Marill?" She called into the darkness. The lights flicked on, and Nurse Joy walked in, with Marill on her shoulder. Marill jumped into her trainer's lap, and Lyra grinned down at her.
"Hi, Marill." She said. She tried to get up, but Nurse Joy stopped her.
"You hurt your head, Lyra. You have to rest." She ordered.
"Team Rocket took the rest of my Pokemon! I have to save them!" She cried. Nurse Joy shook her head.
"No. Ash is out there trying to find them, anyway." She said. Lyra's eyes widened.
"Ash?" She said faintly, stopping her fight and sitting back down.

Ash stood among his Pokemon, facing his long-time enemies. They had Lyra's Pokemon in a cage, and they were trying to get into their balloon, with no luck.
"Quilava, Flame Wheel!" He yelled. His Quilava shot forward, and popped the balloon, which fell from the sky like a stone.
Team Rocket screamed, but Ash just had Staravia and Noctowl grab the cages, and then they ran, leaving the rest to Officer Jenny and ignoring the screams of rage from Team Rocket.
He walked through the front door of the Pokemon Center. Nurse Joy rushed forward, and together they got the Pokemon out of the cages. Chikorita ran forward and tackled Ash affectionately, and Girafarig nuzzled him. Ash chuckled.
"Hey guys. Your trainer is in the back, wanna go see her?" He chuckled when they ran through the double doors leading to the back.
Lyra glanced up when she heard the noise. It sounded like...
Chikorita jumped onto her lap, and Girafarig followed. Lyra chuckled, petting her Pokemon, and looked up at Ash, who was standing in the doorway. "Hey," She said.
"Hey." He replied. "Are you OK?" He asked. Lyra nodded.
"I hurt my head, though. Nurse Joy says I can't leave, but I want to get some fresh air." She complained. Ash nodded.
"Hmm... Maybe I can convince her..." He walked out of the room. Lyra could hear a discussion somewhere in the front room, and then Ash walked back in, smiling.
"She says as long as I'm with you, you can sit outside." He said. Lyra jumped up and ran out, leaving Ash standing by the door.
Ash followed her, chuckling. Lyra was sitting on the front porch of the lodge style Center, in a rocking chair. She motioned to the chair next to her, and Ash sat. Lyra looked at him gratefully.
"Thanks for saving my Pokemon..." She said gratefully. Ash shook his head.
"No problem. I just wish Team Rocket would stop stealing Pokemon. They're getting annoying." He complained. Lyra laughed.
"Yeah, seriously, get another hobby!" She yelled into the slowly darkening sky. Ash chuckled.
"They've been following me since I was 10, actually." She said. Lyra gasped.
"Wow! That's... A really long time." She said. Ash nodded.
"Yup." He lunged forward suddenly, smacking something about 2 inches from Lyra's face. His hand landed on hers, and she blushed. "Er... There was a mosquito trying to bite you..." He mumbled embarrassedly. Lyra nodded, trying to hide the redness on her face. Ash moved his hand from hers, but Lyra's hand moved up on it's own accord, and grabbed it again.
Blushing madly, she grinned shyly. "My hand was cold." She explained. Ash chuckled.
"Alright, then." He said, relaxing. The two enjoyed the sunset together, as their Pokemon snickered from the window.

A/N- Hope you liked it, Satoshi and Touko! I think it came out pretty OK, considering it's the lovechild of caffeine and sugar... I need sleep...
Anyway, next time is either Brocketshipping-Brock X Jessie-, Pearlshipping-Ash X Dawn-, or, per a request, Slaphappyshipping-Gary X His left hand X His right hand-. Not really sure what to think about the last one... But it was a request, and I always honor my requests! I'll put a poll on my profile, so check it out!
Until next time!
