Chapter 7

(Ash)

"Yawn…Pikachu?"

Ash rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up, his eyes were ringed in red from crying himself to sleep. Thoughts of his old rival swam through his mind.

'D-Damn Gary…I thought I could trust you…'

He sighed and looked around for his electric type, funny since she normally snuck into his room each night to sleep on his pillow. Ash called her again, "Pikachu!" And like the time before…not one small response, not even a 'Pika!' to let him know she was there.

The raven haired trainer just shrugged and got dressed for the day, "She probably went to go play or something." He threw on a dark blue T-shirt with jeans, his red and blue jacket right over his shirt. And of course, his signature red baseball cap on top. A thought occurred to him, making him frown in anger, 'If she's with that damn traitor's Umbreon…I'm gonna kill her.'

Ash just sighs and walked downstairs, yawning loudly. Halfway down he flipped on his phone, two messages and one missed call, all from Gary.

"Jerk."

He snaps his phone shut and shoves it in his pocket.

*Knock, Knock*

"I'll get it!"

Ash walked to the door and unlocked it, the morning sun blinded him for a moment as he shielded his eyes with his hand. "Hello?"

"Finally you answer SOMETHING!"

Ash glared as his eyes adjusted. Gary was standing in the doorframe, he wore a dark purple windbreaker over a black tank top, dark green khakis.

"Sorry, no one is currently home."

Ash started to shut the door, but Gary stuck his foot in the crevice where the door swings, stopping it. "Hold on, can we at least call a truce for a few moments?"

"Give me two good reasons."

"I'll give you three."

Ash sighs slowly and opens the door more, "Alright, talk."

"For one thing, that 'kiss' between me and Misty? That was just staged, she KNEW you were coming in the café, she lured me there and tricked me, like how she tricked you. You can ask ANYONE that was there, the customers, the barista, you could probably even check the security cam."

"Ok, that's ONE thing."

"Second thing, I want us to be closer, not farther apart. Ash, you know how I feel about you…I promise you that I would NEVER cheat on you, especially since we only had two dates."

Ash blushed a bit at that, his heart racing a tad, though he kept it under control. The raven haired trainer cleared his throat, "*Ahem* and the third thing?"

"I can't find Umbreon and I need your help."

"Wait…WHAT?"

Gary nodded quickly, his brown hair falling in his eyes slightly, "I woke up and he was just gone! He didn't even eat the pokemon food I set out for him last night." Ash bit his lower lip and sighed, "Well…Pikachu has been missing all morning. My guess is that their somewhere away from us."

"Why would they do that?"

"I kind of lectured Pikachu on how she should stay away from your dark type."

The brunette looked at him for a moment, emerald eyes glistening with thought. He eventually face palmed, "Dammit, Ash…"

The younger trainer smiled sheepishly, "Heh…sorry?"

Gary shook his head, "No time for apologies, we need to find them and fast!" He reached out and took Ash's hand, making the raven haired trainer blush. Gary pulled him out of the house and started to run into Pallet Town, searching for the two lost pokemon.

-Pikachu-

"Umbreon, wake up…"

The electric type prodded her mate in the side gently with her paw. Umbreon mumbled as he slept and turned over. The two of them had made their way to the junkyard and had made an large, hollowed out iron tube their temporary home.

"Umbreon!"

"Zzzz…"

Pikachu sighed, "Ook, you asked for it." She braced herself, "Thunder….BOLT!" A shock of electricity surged through the dark type.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Umbreon flopped on the floor, groaning, he looked up, "Sheesh…" Pikachu giggled and rubbed her cheek to his, "Good morning, sleepyhead!"

Umbreon smiled slightly, his ears twitching, "Heh, morning."

Pikachu twitches her ears cutely and sits down, "I have something to tell you." She smiles brightly, blushing lightly. The dark type yawned and stretched as he sat up straight, looking tired still.

"What is it?"

Pikachu leans forward and whispers something in Umbreon's ears. The male blushed hard, his red eyes widening to flat disks, he looked at her with wonder in his eyes, "P-Pikachu…are you sure? You mean you're really…?"

Pikachu nods happily.

Umbreon smiles widely and tackles her in a pokemon hug, "THIS IS GREAT!" The electric type giggles lightly, "You seem excited."

"Hell yeah I'm excited!"

"I love you, Umbreon."

"I love you too…"

The female winks at him cutely, "So…what would you like to do now?" Umbreon smiles slyly, "Hmm, I have four ideas on what I want to do."

"And?"

"Let's see…I want to do…you, you, you, and oh yeah….you." He smiles at her, his black coat shining slightly.

"Mmm, well then, let's do all of your ideas."

-Ash-

"UMBREON!"

"PIKACHU!"

The two trainers ran around Pallet Town, looking for their pokemon frantically. The people had no clue, and with each passing moment, Ash grew frantic.

"What if they ran away?"

"Ash that probably didn't happen."

"What if Team Rocket caught them?"

"Doubtful, those idiots are worthless. Don't worry, ok?"

"WHAT IF THEY GOT RUN OVER!"

"By what? There's no cars in Pallet Town."

"WHAT IF THEY FELL IN A RIVER AND DROWNED?"

"Ash…calm down."

"BUT WHAT IF-"

Ash was about to continue his ranting until Gary tugged the raven haired trainer to him and kissed him on the lips roughly.

"M-MPH?...Mmm…"

Gary kept kissing him for a moment longer before pulling away, emerald eyes stared into dark brown, "There…now are you calm?" Ash cleared his throat, blushing lightly as he looked away from his old rival, "You didn't have to do that…"

"I know, but you were whining so loud, louder than Dawn."

"Ok…I find that offensive."

"Haha, you find most things offensive."

Ash smirks a bit, his mind more at ease. The older trainer's hair shined in the early afternoon sunshine, emerald eyes that gleam like freshly polished jewels. The raven haired trainer couldn't help but stare.

"Hey, ashy boy, you alright? You're looking at me funny."

Ash blushed furiously, "O-Oh, s-sorry, I-I uh…saw a Beedrill fly by." Gary smirked, "After all these years of doing your Pokemon journeys, you're STILL scared of a bug type?"

"It's also a poison type."

"Heh, besides those only hang around the junkyard, I don't think a Beedrill would actually be in Pallet Town."

Gary suddenly widened his eyes as he said it, Ash looked at him in confusion. "Ash…THAT'S IT! The Junkyard! Pokemon always go there to get away from their trainers!"

-Junkyard-

"Wow, where do we start looking?"

The Junkyard seemed small from a distance, but when you got closer, it was mountains after mountains of trash, stacks of paper, bags full to the brim with plastic, and Giant metal tubes that were starting to rust from age.

Gary blinked slowly, "You search that half, I'll search this half."

"Yeah, ok."

"If you find them just shout."

The raven haired trainer just shrugged and started routing around through trash. His hands threw large garbage bags full of recyclables and whatnot as he searched for the missing pokemon.

-One hour later-

"AAAAAAAH!"

Ash poked his head from behind a pile of papers, "Gary? Did you find them?" The brunette was shaking in front of a metal tube, pointing his finger, looking pale. Ash frowned and walked over to him. "What's wrong? Are they hurt?"

Gary grabbed Ash's face and turned him so he got a good view on what was going on in the metal tube.

"AAAAAAAHH!"

Seeing the scene to be too much, Ash fainted. Gary soon followed, landing on top of the other fainted trainer.

-Pikachu-

The two pokemon quietly crept out after a few more moments of mating and stared at their trainers. Umbreon face palmed, "Oh great. They HAD to find us now…"

"Well…that was kind of embarrassing."

"No kidding."

The electric type looked at her mate, her eyes glistening, "They didn't have to faint though. Haven't they seen two pokemon have sex before?"
