Hello :P It's the 28th so I am uploading my new update for my TT. I can't believe we've known each other as long as we have now. We've been friends forever at this point and every moment we spend talking is always full of fun :P I hope you enjoy this chapter and that everyone had a good Christmas!

Ash: 17

Dear Misty,
Wow, I can't believe after all that build up, the holiday season is over! Well, I don't think it's completely over because I still feel very festive but I'm also feeling weirdly reflective. It's just a few short days until the New Year and I am feeling something I've never really felt before.
Am I nervous for a new year? I don't think so but maybe I am. After all, there's always such big hype with parties and fireworks and resolutions that nobody ever sticks to. I've felt nervous before like battling a really tough opponent and before the Whirl Cup. Oh yeah, and of course before I told you how I felt about you! But this doesn't feel like the nerves I've experienced. I think its excitement too, my dear Mist.
Do you realise that this is going to be the first full year that we are a couple? I do. It feels like I'm about to receive a blank book and it's up to us to fill it with whatever we want to. That makes me so pumped but also slightly apprehensive. I just want it to be the best year possible because you're the best girl.
I wonder what we'll get up to? This letter is strangely thoughtful so maybe I won't send it to you. I don't want you to laugh at me. You always fondly say that I'm dense so this might show a whole other side of me. I know you've seen my sensitive and secret sides but this seems way more raw. I don't know why that is. Maybe you're making me finally grow up? I can just hear your voice now saying "thank god"…
I guess I'm reflective because this is the first Christmas and New Year that I've spent at home in Pallet Town in many many years. I had an amazing time with you and everybody. I was worried when you told me that you were friends with James from Team Rocket and I was nervous that we spent the holidays with them but now I'm glad we did. They aren't just bad guys in an even worse organisation. They're people and they have pretty big hearts and I wish I knew that sooner. Thank you, Mist, you're helping me open my eyes to so many things.
There's one thing I thought I would be reflecting on this upcoming New Year but I'm actually not and that is my journeys. This is going to be the first of many years that I will no longer be on one. I thought I would be saying that it feels weird to not be packing my bags and getting ready to experience so many amazing places and meeting influential people but right now, I don't feel that way. It sounds cliché but taking a break feels right. It's what I'm meant to be doing.
My journeys across the world may be over but my journey with you is just beginning. I can't wait for this year to be our year. I want us to get even closer as a couple and grow for each other and ourselves. I want to know more about you and your hopes and dreams and fears. I want to stay away at places with you and experience as many things with you as I can.
I think my New Year's resolution is to be a good boyfriend. I've been yours for over a year now but I want to be the best I can be. That's actually quite funny. My mom always told me that one day I'll feel the same way about a girl that I did about journeying and catching pokemon. I didn't really believe her but now I do. I didn't believe I could get a girl like you and feel so content at her side. But I don't have to believe it anymore because I know it. You're mine and I'm yours. And I simply can't wait for this whole, complete year together.
Love from, your Ash.
P.S: I miss you. Well I'm going to miss the you from this year because next year we're going to grow together. But she'll always be a part of us both.
There you go! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 It feels good to have written just plain Pokeshipping from before they had kids and stuff. Them learning about each other and how to be with one and other as more than friends is always cute to explore T.T I think I'm going to take a week or so break before I upload again because honestly I've had really bad writers block and haven't written anything in quite a few weeks. I wanna write a couple of fics before I upload again :3 So see you in a bit (next year I suppose) and I hope the start of 2016 for you is awesome! Thank you for all the reviews and kind words for all my uploads in 2015. It's meant a lot T.T See you soon!
