L is for Love (This is a Special one. It's like 8 one-shots together.)

Each person has a soulmate. Each person has a perfect match. This is one of their stories. And sometimes you have to tell the people you love someone is a boyfriend or girlfriend....often in humourus ways.

Misty~Ash(Telling Ash's Mom, Brock, and Misty's Sisters)

"My mom already loves you Misty, you have no reason to be worried, I on the other hand have to be nervous about your sisters considering we never met and I don't know if they'll like me."Ash pointed out. They had just finished telling Brock and he was happy for them, but upset Ash got a girlfriend before him.

They went to Ash's Mom's house first. "Hello Ash! Misty!" she cried, launching herself at them and hugging them.

"Mommmm...." Ash complained, but still hugged her back, as did Misty.

After they went inside Delia asked, "Are you two here to tell me your a couple?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye. Misty and Ash's mouthes dropped open.

"H-how did y-you..."Ash trailed off.

"I can see a difference in the way you two act around each other." she explained. "And I am so happy Ash found himself such a nice young girl like you Misty." Delia said as Misty turned bright red.

"Thank you!" she said. They hugged Delia goodbye and headed to Cerulaun city to meet Misty's they even got half way there Ash was scared. "Mist...I don't know...what if they hate me? What if they make you go back to the gym? Oh My Gosh! I'm so sorry Misty! It's all my fault! You shouldn't have to go back to the gym! I'm soooo sor-" Misty hit him upside the head and then kissed him, he hugged her close.

She laughed lightly," They'll love you, I know it come on we're here." Misty and Ash walked in. "Hey! I'm home and I brought Ash!" Misty called and grabbed his hand. The first one to come down was her younger sister who saw their intwined hands and smiled brightly, which reassured Ash.

"Did you finally tell Ash you love him?" Another one of Misty's sisters said as she walked in the room.

Misty turned red, but mumbled, "Yes....we are a couple now."

A few of Misty's younger sisters squealed and the older ones either smiled or smirked. Ash and Misty blushed. Misty's sisters accepted Ash completly, even asking when they marriage was.

After it was all over Misty pointed out, "It wasn't so bad."

Ash grabbed her hand as they walked, "Nope, it wasn't." He smiled at her and she smiled back.

Paul~Dawn(Telling Paul's family)(Telling Dawn's friends and Mom)

"You have no reason to be worried Troublesome. They wouldn't care if you were a rock as long as you were my boyfriend. And anyway admit it this will be easier than telling Idiot(Ash), the Breeder(Brock), Grasshead(Drew), Oblivious(May), and Red(Misty)." Paul scowled at her worrying.

"Here's a hint, if you want them to like you use their real names." Dawn scowled back.

"We're here." Paul said stopping in front of a large house. Dawn squealed and looked terrified. Paul pulled her over and shut her up with a kiss, pinning her to the door, he whispered, "Dawn, calm down they will accept you because I love you." He leaned in to kiss her again but the door flew open before he could reach her and the both went tumbling in, Paul landing on Dawn, but managing to keep most of his weight off of her.

"Oh! Sorry! Was I interrupting something?" Reggie, Paul's annoying older brother smirked at them. Dawn squeaked again and blushed bright red and Paul had a light red dusting across his cheeks.

"Shut up Reggie." Paul muttered and helped Dawn up.

Reggie smiled and said, "Hello! I'm Reggie! You must be Paul's girlfriend!"

Paul sighed, "Reggie meet Troubl-Dawn, Dawn meet Reggie."

He stumbled and Reggie raised an eyebrow, but smiled again and said, "Hello Dawn!"

Dawn smiled and her eyes brightened, "Hello Reggie! Nice to meet you!" she said.

"Oh Hello Dear!" Regina, Paul and Reggie's Mom smiled and hugged Paul, who grumbled under his breath, but hugged her back.

Regina then turned to Dawn, Reggie smirked slyly he said, "Mom this is Paul's girlfriend, Troubl-Dawn. Troubl-Dawn this is my Mom, Regina."

"It's Dawn." Paul muttered.

Regina hugged Dawn and said, "Hi! Nice to meet you!"

Dawn replied, "Nice to meet you too!" The rest of the lunch went smoothly and when it was time to go, Regina and Dawn already had plans to go shopping. Next, they were headed to Dawn's house where her friends and Mom were. When they got their Dawn was more nervous than Paul. She walked in and into the living room with Paul at her side.

Her friends looked suprise to see Paul, but before they could say anything Dawn said, "Mom, this is my boyfriend Paul." Brock had already figured out something was going on between the two so wasn't suprised.

"Your going out with my rival?!" Ash yelled. Dawn smiled sheepishly and Paul smirked tauntingly. May and Misty were ecstatic. Drew considers Dawn a little sister and was a little protective, but was happy Dawn was happy.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." Paul said all formally.

Johanna looked pleasently suprised and said, "Nice to meet you Paul." she said and smiled. They chatted for a little longer and they eventually accepted Paul and Dawn's relationship. They talked late into the night and eventually Dawn fell asleep. Paul picked her up and asked if they could stay here, when her Mom said yes and showed him to Dawn's room, everyone was suprised by his tenderness, but happy for it.

Kenny~Zoey(Telling their friends)

Kenny and Zoey were at the pokemon center with their friends and were about to tell their friends of their relationship. "What is it you wanted to tell us?" Dawn asked curious. Kenny smiled and said, "This." then to the shock of Zoey and everyone else he kissed Zoey. Even more shocking to the friends was the fact she kissed him back. When they broke apart, the others were gaping at them and Zoey smirked, "We're dating now." Dawn squealed for her friends and the others smiled at them.

Drew~May (Telling May's friends and family)

"Are you sure?" Drew asked for what seemed to be the millionth time.

"YES! MY FAMILY WILL LOVE TO KNOW WE ARE DATING!! ASH, BROCK, MISTY, DAWN, AND PAUL WILL TOO!! UGH!!" May yelled. They were heading to May's house were her family and friends were gathered to hear her news, which was that she and Drew were dating. They had already known they were traveling together because of the partner contests. Both Drew and Blaziken were against telling them. Blaziken wanted to make it a big thing and Drew wanted to hold off their reactions. He had lost his normally cool demeanor and was freaking out. May kissed him and it calmed him somewhat. She opened her door and walked in to the living room, Drew trailing behind unwilling to break the news to her family and friends.

"Hey May! Hey Drew!" broke out from the living room.

"Hi!" May squealed and started hugging everyhing in sight, while Drew leaned against the wall with a simple, "Hey." Caroline, Dawn, and Misty all came up to hug him. While Paul, Ash, Brock, and Max waved, each one varie, to Max and Brock's normal wave, Paul's hand raise, and Ash's over-excited wave. Drew raised his hand. While Norman gave him a stern look as if he already knew their secret. Everyone had sat down, by now except Drew.

"Sit!" Caroline offered part of the couch.

"I'm good." he replied, "Thanks anyway." Easier to run away if May's Dad comes after me, he thought to him self.

"So, Honey! What's this big important news?" Caroline asked eagerly. May smiled brightly,

"Well one Drew and I got all 5 ribbons and He and I-" Caroline cut her off, "Oh that's great! It is a partner grand festival right?" she asked.

"Yes, you needed 5 partner ribbons and 5 single ribbons. May and I have 5 of each. "Drew anwsered for May.

"That's good, so you pretty much are good until the grand festival right?" Max asked.

"No, not quite, we need practice. We have an amazing combo with-" Drew started.

May cut him off, "Oh No Mister! I know exactly what your doing! Your trying to make me forget the main thing we came here to tell them!" she realized. Yes, that had been exactly what he had been doing. Drew frowned, annoyed his plan didn't work.

"Yes..." he muttered.

"Well, Ha! It didn't work!" May smiled triumphantly at him. He scowled back. "What is it you came here to tell us?" Misty asked curious.

"Oh, that's easy! We were here to tell you, that we-" May was cut off as Blaziken came out of his pokeball and pulled May up to dance with him. Drew smirked at the sight. "Blaziken! What are you doing!?" May asked shocked at the pokemon dancing with her. Realization dawned on her face, "Your with Drew on this! Your trying to distract me!" she yelled and Blaziken stopped dancing and did a scowl just like Drew and sullenly returned to his pokeball.

"Thanks for trying." Drew said with a sigh.

May scowled at him again, "DREW!!! MY GOSH!!! STOP BEING FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT!!! THEY WON'T CARE!!!" she yelled at him. He motioned to her family staring at them. She blushed slightly.

"What won't we care about?" Norman asked suspicous. May started walking to the couch, but tripped, Drew who was half way between May and the couch, caught her. She was telling them while walking though,

"What you won't care about is that Drew---" she tripped and she was silent for a few moments. "Thanks Drew." she said with a sigh as he put her on her feet. "Sure thing Klutz." he smirked.

"I am not a klutz! You--" she was cut off as Roserade came out of it's pokeball and glared at her and Drew, then motioned to her family and friends and finally started yelling at Drew and May. Only those two knew her well enough to know what she was saying and their mouthes dropped open in shock at the language she was using and the threat she was making. Their eyes widened as they realized she was completly serious about her threat. They both blurted at the same time,

"I'm dating her/him!" and looked at Roserade fearfully, while pointing at the other for emphasis. Dawn, Caroline and Misty squealed.

Brock, Max, and Paul looked at each other, smirked, and said, "Finally." Ash was in shock, but smiling.

Norman was glaring at Drew and said, "Let's take a little walk....shall we?" Drew looked fearful for a second before he smirked and said,

"My pleasure." May looked at him worriedly, he flipped his hair in response and smirked. The rest of the group asked questions about how long they were dating, did she love him, and stuff like that until Drew got back. When Drew did get back, him and Norman were both smirking at each other and laughing. May was a little suprised to say the least. When it was time for those two to go May was suprised to see Norman and Drew nod at each other looking serious.

When they got outside May asked Drew, "How did you get on my Dad's good side?"

"We both have a common goal." was his reply.

"What's that?" she asked again.

"Keeping you protected." he smirked as she hit his arm and glared.

Harley~Solidad(Telling their friends)

Solidad was a little afraid Drew might kill Harley when we told him we were dating. I love him and he loves me, so what does it matter? We went to the pokemon center where Drew and May were staying, We had already told Ash and the others, they were happy for us and wished us luck in telling Drew.

"It's okay Sole, I'm sure Drew will trust your judgement." Harley soothed. Harley's voice had lowered and he was much more calm and mature. He also stopped wearing that awful suit and wore a purple long sleeve shire with a black sleeveless vest and black jeans.. They were going to be suprised by his change that's for sure. Solidad sighed, but smiled slightly. They were outside their door already, Solidad knocked lightly. Drew opened it, scowled at Harley but let them in.

"Hey Guys!" May greeted from were she was watching TV on the bed. "Hello May." Solidad said and they hugged. Harley just smiled slightly and raised a hand. May looked at him with an eyebrow raised, "Wow! Nice outfit!" she complimented. She had forgiven him after he had apologized.

"Thanks." he replied. Drew and May's mouthes dropped open in shock at his not-so-high voice.

"What happened to your voice?!" Drew asked bluntly. May hit him in the arm and glared.

Harley just laughed lightly and stated the obvious, "It lowered." Drew scowled at his anwser.

"So, Why is it you two are here?" May asked stopping a fight. Even Drew looked a little curious now. Solidad swallowed, before she could break it to Drew gently like she planned, Harley said it.

"We wanted to let you know that we're dating." he said quite simply. May squealed and flew towards the two for a hug. Drew was just staring with his mouth agape. Solidad walked over to him, breaking him out of his trance.

"Let me talk to you." Drew all but snarled and pulled her into the hallway. Harley and May sighed, but knew it couldn't be helped, so they started chatting about the next contest.

"Are you insane?!" Drew whisper-yelled at her.

"Drew...he's changed...he's not evil anymore! Can't we put the past behind us?!" she whisper-yelled back.

"No! What if he hurts you or turns evil again?" Drew asked. Solidad sighed, he just wasn't going to get it through his big head.

"He's not going to Drew! We love each other and he has saved me before from a pack of combee and Vesiqueen! So don't worry about him hurting me Drew!" she explained. He gave a sigh of defeat.

"Okay, I don't like it, but I'll accept it and if he hurts you in even the slightest way... I call the one to beat his butt." Drew smiled slightly. Solidad hugged and thanked him and they went back inside. The rest of the day was spent catching up with each other, and the discussion only had a few death threats from Drew.

Gardenia~Roark(Telling their friends and Roark's dad)

"Well, I know my dad will be happy, he's been bugging me to get a girlfriend since I was 13." Roark laughed lightly, Gardenia joining in.

"Well, since we invited Fantina, the news we're dating will travel all over Sinnoh in a matter of hours and you will have to go through a question and anwser session by Candice." they laughed, as Gardenia opened her gym to see the other gym leaders and elite four. The leaders were told to call a gym meeting when something happy or important went down. including if you are dating someone.

Gardenia being the more outgoing of the couple started, "I called this meeting because I am dating someone." All the leaders smiled and the females squealed and asked who.

Roark put his hands around her waist and his head on her shoulder, saying simply, "Me." More squeals and a smile that looked like it might break Byron's face.

"Finally!" Byron and Candice yelled and laughed. Everyone joining in. Candice started questioning Roark, and Gardenia sent him a look, as she was being dragged away by Byron.

Brock~Joy(Telling his friends)

Joy and Brock stood smiling at Ash and Co. "We're dating. We love each other." Brock said. Their jaws dropped, than they started to laugh.

"G-Good o-one B-B-Brock!" Ash laughed. After they had calmed down, Brock kissed Nurse Joy and their jaws dropped again. When they broke apart

"You weren't kidding." Misty said.

"I'm shocked she finally said yes." Paul snickered along with everyone else. Brock rolled his eyes and laughed with them.

Candice~Volkner(Telling their friends)

"They'll just be suprised because we're like opposites!" Candice said the gym leaders reactions would be to them dating. Volkner nodded. They were like complete opposites, Volkner was quiet and unsociable with only a few close friends, while Candice was outgoing and had millions of friends. Then the gym opened and the freezing gym leaders and elite four trudged in.

"M-man, Candice how do you stand the cold!" Flint exclaimed. He was one of Volkner's friends. "Hey Volkner! How did you get here so fast? Aren't you freezing?" Flint asked after spotting him.

Volkner shook his head, he had gotten used to the cold when he came to visit Candice alot.

"So, why is it you called the meeting?" Gardenia, one of Candice's closest friends asked.

"I'm dating someone!" she all, but squealed. A few of the females joined in, Flint was looking at Volkner with wide eyes, already figuring out by the small smile playing on his lips that he was the one Candice was dating.

"Your dating Volkner?!" Flint yelled. The others looked at him like he was crazy and started to laugh. Candice frowned and walked over to Volkner who put his hands on her shoulders, waiting for them to stop laughing.

After everyone was done she said, "Yes." Everyone then looked at her with Volkner and their mouthes dropped open.

"You two are like complete opposites!" Byron said startled.

Volkner shocked everyone by saying, "Opposites attract." Everyone was a little suprised by their relationship, but accepted it in the end.
