Omg! It's done! It's Chapter 7! haha srry bored mostly and felt like putting that :)

The kiss may have only lasted about a second, but it felt like forever to Yasmin. When Ash pulled away, Yasmin was calm but started to get all giggly.

"Ash, what was that for?" She smiled at him.

"To make you stop talking. I saw it in a movie once. The girl kept on talking so the guy just kissed her. It worked there and seemed to have worked here." Ash grinned a toothy smile as Yasmin stared lovingly at him.

The stare quickly changed from love to anger when Yasmin came back to reality.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you were basically telling me to shut up?" Yasmin yelled at him.

"In a nice way! And it looked like you liked it." Ash got a little frightened. No girl's acted like this to me since Mist. Especially the sudden mood changes.

"That doesn't mean you can go around kissing people, Ketchum!" Yasmin was about to slap Ash across the face when she heard Pika.

"Chu Pi! Pika Pi Pi chu!" The yellow, pokemon yelled at its trainer.

Yasmin sighed. "Sorry Ash. I get worked up sometimes like that. Thanks for not telling me to shut up."

"No problem. Just please don't hit me." Ash laughed a little at his last comment.

Yasmin laughed sarcastically. "Very funny. Now let's go!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's the afternoon. If we go like now we can get to Entrea by night fall."

"Okay. And I told Brock about the whole Team Rocket thing. He talked to Dawn since he's more serious." Ash put quotation mark hand symbols as he said that last word.

Yasmin giggled before the two walked back to camp.

Just like the first time, Yasmin hid in behind a tree so Ash could make sure Dawn was okay with Yasmin.

"Hey everybody! I'm back!"

Brock and Dawn were surprised Ash would be back so early. Dawn was taking a break and gave all of her pokemon poffins, except for Mamoswine, who was in its pokéball and received the sweet treats earlier.

"Ash!" Dawn suddenly ran up to Ash and gave him a hug, making Pikachu jump off his trainer's arm. He quickly pulled her off of him and said "What was that for?"

"Oh nothing." Dawn smiled at him, but she knew Yasmin was watching from somewhere.

"Are you all better from earlier? You were really upset for some reason."

"Yeah I'm much better Ash. No need to worry!" She smiled again as Ash walked back a bit.

"Okay you can come out." He whispered terribly, meaning loud enough for everyone to hear.

Yasmin slowly walked out with Pika on her shoulder. Dawn looked at her with anger but soon acted in fear.

"Everyone, I'm sorry about before. But you know I'm not mean or anything. And if I wanted to steal your Pokemon I would've done it already!" Yasmin smiled at everyone but then looked freaked out. "I mean if I was evil I could've but I'm not so I didn't and-"

Brock came up to Yasmin and interrupted her by saying, "It's okay we understand, right Dawn?" The eldest of the group turned to the youngest in a way that would make Dawn feel sorry for judging Yasmin so harshly.

"Okay so now that we're all cool, I have a plan. Tell 'em Ash."

"How about we leave now? Entrea City isn't even an hour away. We can make it there."

"I'm good with that!" Dawn shouted. "I can actually sleep in a bed!"

"Yeah since everything is packed! And Yasmin's Pokégear says it's not that far." Brock was holding up the purple gadget.

"Hey! How'd you get that?" Yasmin grabbed her device out of Brock's hands.

"Well you left it here when you guys left me."

"Oh well sorry Brocko. And thanks for finding it." Yasmin smiled and fixed it back onto her bag. She spun around and said, "Okay everyone! Let's go!"

She started walking and Ash followed her. "Um town is that way guys." Brock pointed in the opposite direction of the trainers.

"I totally knew that." Exclaimed Ash.

"No you didn't." Yasmin smirked back at him.

After walking for awhile the group was almost to the top of a huge hill guarded on either side of the path with trees. When they reached the top, they all looked down to see a huge city in the middle of the forest.

"Hooray! Civilization!" Yasmin yelled out as she ran down the hill. "Race ya Ash!"

"You're on!" The two started running down the hill at a fast speed.

"Be careful you two!" Dawn yelled out at them. Ash turned back in distraction, making him trip and slide down the hill.

"Ash!" Yasmin yelled out as the boy basically rolled down the hill.

Ash got down the hill first and Yasmin quickly ran to his aid.

She picked up a stick and started poking his side. "Hey Ketchum, are you dead?" She said in a kidding way.

"Haha make fun of the clumsy don't you." He said back sarcastically as he took the stick from her, making her fall over on him.

"Ah get off of me!" Ash squirmed under her.

"It's your fault I fell!" Yasmin sat up as Dawn and Brock got to the bottom.

"Ash Ketchum, look at you! You're filthy now! At least we can take you a bath when we get to the pokemon center." Dawn stuck her tongue out at Ash.

Ash's pants were covered in dirt. His hat had fallen off and there was dirt in his hair. Even his shoes had gotten scuffed. The only actual painful thing that happened was the scrap on Ash's elbow.

"Speaking of the center, look." Brock pointed about a block away from they were standing. A huge Pokemon center, hot springs and all, was there.

Everyone was walking to the center and as the doors slide open a girl in pigtails ran outside, right into Yasmin.

"Hey watch where you're go- Huh!" As Yasmin gained her bearings she realized that the person she had bumped into was Josephine, her old traveling partner.

The two stood up. The girls yelled each other's names and hugged each other. Pika and Josephine's Pachirisu did the same.

"Yasmin! I was so scared! You were there one moment and then gone the next!" Josephine was pretend crying while hugging, or squishing, Yasmin.

"I know Josephine, but I'm okay. And you're okay. And plus I have new friends."

Josephine wiped her fake tears and fixed the plus and minus on each of her high pigtails as everyone introduced themselves.

"I'm Brock."

"Hi fellow coordinator, I'm Dawn!"

"I'm Ash Ketchum." As Ash said his name Josephine's eyes widen and she whispered something to Yasmin. The two girls giggled as Yasmin shook her head up and down, making the girls giggle more. Everyone just stared at them for a minute until the girls stopped.

"Sorry Ash. You know how it is when you met a fan." Ash wasn't really sure actually how to react to his fans though. Yasmin must have been one of the few left since way back when.

"Omg! It's like double Pika power!" Josephine squealed as she saw the two pikachus sitting next to each other in the lobby of the center.

Yasmin sweat dropped. "Good job Captain Obvious." And she started laughing as Josephine glared at her.

"Uh so Josephine," Dawn said, wishing to break the awkwardness of the new group. "I hear you're a coordinator."

"Yup."

"How many ribbons do you have?"

"I have four. See!" Josephine pulled a case out of her azumarill patterned bag and opened it. There were four brightly colored ribbions within it. "How many ribbions do you have, Dawn?"

Dawn took out her case and opened it. "I only have three. But I'll get another one soon after I use cyndaquil in my next contest! It's gonna be a fire and ice one!"

"Wow fire and ice? That's like my electric and water combo!"

"I have one of those! Do you use your Pachirisu?" Dawn noticed the small red ribbion on Pachirisu's right ear, matching the one Pika wears.

"Yeah! Do you have one?"

"Yeah I do!"

The two coordinators kept on talking about their combos for a bit until Yasmin elbowed Josephine in the ribs, making her squeal and Yasmin laugh.

"What was that for?" Josephine said angrily at Yasmin.

"Remember what I said before, you shouldn't talk about things that only you care about. Like Justin Bieber." Yasmin flipped her ponytail off of her shoulder as Josephine got angry.

Josephine stood up, and Dawn as well surprisingly. "Hey Justin is totally awesome so back off!" The two girls said at the same time. They looked at each other and started to jump up and down.

Oh great. Dawn is totally gonna bring out Josephine's bad side. Yasmin sweat dropped and Ash looked at her as they both sweat dropped.

"Okay that's enough!" Yasmin grabbed Josephine and pushed her back in her seat.

"You're just mad cause you're never gonna meet Justin, Yasmin." Jospehine said cockily.

"Well you haven't met him either. Plus I said it was more likely that I'd meet Ash Ketchum than meet him. So I guess I'm bound to see Bieber boy one day. Haha"

Josephine and Dawn looked angrily at Yasmin.

"Hey so about that battle Yasmin," Ash was trying to save the poor trainer from probably getting eaten by the coordinators.

"Battle? Did you have a battle without me?" Jospehine asked Yasmin.

"No I only evolve Eevee while you were gone. The battle should probably be tomorrow. Let's go give our Pokemon to Nurse Joy then. And Ash you probably should take a bath." She noted to his dirty clothes but she realized that he smelt from the mud as well, and so did she for falling on him.

Everyone stood up and gave the pink haired nurse their pokemon, after Brock hit on her. They all then went to their rooms. Brock and Ash in one, and the three girls in the one across the hall. Everyone changed into their swimsuits and went out back to the hot springs.

"Hey remember the hot spring at Cinnabar Island back in Kanto? That was some good water." Yasmin said as she sat in the pool near everyone else.

"Yeah, I think it was the volcano. It was like right there, remember?" Josephine said.

"You guys went there too? You really did go everywhere I did, Yasmin." Ash said with a smile.

Dawn was looking at everyone with a confused look on her face. Since she was so much younger than everyone, she had only been to one region, Sinnoh. And she hadn't fully traveled that one region yet. I really wish I knew what was going on. Dawn looked at the water sadly.

"You okay Dawn?" Josephine asked the blue-haired coordinator.

"Huh? Yeah. It's just that, I've only traveled in Sinnoh and the rest of you guys have been practically everywhere.

Yasmin and Ash were still in the middle of the pool, talking about old adventures and friends they had in common.

"Well Dawn you shouldn't get so down on yourself. You know, something that may surprise is that I haven't always been this happy and cheerful."

"Really? You seem like the type." Dawn was commenting on the hairstyle Josephine wore on the daily bases, now with two diamond shapes in her pigtails to match her suit.

"Well since my uncle was a professor, I didn't really go to school. He taught me everything I needed to know. I may have goofed off a lot but I listened enough. But as I was saying before, since I didn't go to school I didn't have that many friends. The kids would think I'm a genius or something and shun me. But after I met Yasmin I swore to be friendlier like her. That's why I joined her on her adventures."

"Wow. I thought you wanted to become a better coordinator by traveling."

"Na. Back when we started traveling, no one really knew about contest. Everyone wanted to be a pokéathlete or a pokemon master or a breeder. I was one of the few back then. Now contest are a big thing in Kanto."

"Hm." Dawn was nodding her head but not paying attention. She was trying to listen to Ash and Yasmin's conversation. It would be pretty easy for the two of them to talk about anything since the two girls were on the side of the pool and Brock was hitting on every other girl in sight, even though many weren't at the pool for it being night time.

Yasmin's hair, now in a high ponytail, had pieces coming down (A.N. like the 5th generation girl's hair). She felt her face red, not just from the heat, but from being alone with Ash again. Every time they were alone she suddenly had butterfree in her stomach. Ash, for some reason, felt the same. Even if the setting was slightly romantic, the two trainers were trainers, talking about their pokemon and their travels.

"I bet I've seen more Pokemon than you have." Ash said.

"Well I bet I've captured more." Yasmin retorted.

"I bet I've been to more cities."

"I bet I've won more battles."

They continued in this matter for a few minutes.

"I'm gonna win either way tomorrow, Ketchup." Yasmin laughed at the teasing name.

"I bet not, uh..." Ash paused to think for a minute, "uh, Yasmean."

"Oh aren't you clever, taking a little thinking break to think of a fail name."

"Whatever! I'm still gonna win."

Yasmin giggled and splashed Ash. "I bet you can't even beat me at a splash battle."

"I beat you in the race why can't I beat you now." Ash splashed a wave of water at Yasmin. She hid under the water, which wasn't that hot anymore since they were used to it.

"Yasmin?" Ash looked around until she jumped on his back suddenly.

This grabbed Dawn and Josephine's attention. Josephine told Dawn "They're just playing okay. Nothing horrible is happening."

Josephine could tell about Dawn's crush on Ash. But she moreover knew about Yasmin's crush.

Yasmin pushed Ash down into the water. He quickly came back up and pushed her down. She pushed him away from her. She yelled out, "Surf attack!" pushing a horde of water at the raven-haired boy, whose hair was flatter than normal from the water.

Ash shook his head to get out some of the water. "Tackle attack!"He then quickly moved and tackled the girl into the water. They both came back up, with the two trainers pulling each other's hair.

Josephine was laughing her head off as she watched the battle. Dawn laughed sometimes but was more worried that Ash would get hurt or that the two were becoming close. It didn't look like a fight even since the two were smiling and laughing the whole time.

Brock had then come back, after being turned down by every girl and hearing the commotion. He pushed the two trainers apart. "What are you two doing?" He questioned as they let go of each other's hair.

"Nothing." The two said in harmony. They looked at Brock as if they were children trying to look as if they were sorry after breaking a vase.

Brock, knowing about Yasmin's crush on Ash, thought to have fun with that knowledge.

"Ash, go see what Josephine and Dawn are doing." He sees Josephine still laughing for some reason and Dawn staring at her, looking very weirded out.

"Okay." Ash starts to walk over to them and Yasmin follows. "Yasmin," Brock smirked as Yasmin looked at him, frightened.

"Uh Yeah, what's up Brock?"

"I know Yasmin."

"About what?"

"Don't try and act dense. I know you like Ash."

Yasmin started to mini freak out. "Is it that obvious?"

"No, I overheard you talking to Pika the other night. Also I kinda thought something was up when Ash and you came back to camp that morning after being gone awhile."

"Ew! Brock that's totally gross!" Yasmin started to act completely grossed out.

"What? No! I didn't think that way!" Brock started to freak out as Yasmin snickered for changing his words like that.

"But back to what I was saying. Why are you beating up Ash if you like him?"

"We weren't fighting. We were just playing around. It started with a splash fight that got a little out of hand okay. Clam down Brock. Thanks for caring but yeah." Yasmin didn't really know what to say so she said the nicest ending sentence she could think of.

Brock sighed. At least she admitted it. He thought as Yasmin went over to everyone else.

Josephine was still laughing. "Is she alright Yasmin?" Ash asked her as she walked over to her friend who could barely breathe. "Yeah." Yasmin stated calmly as she pushed Josephine under the water.

Josephine quickly came back up. "Yasmin! What was that for?"

"You wouldn't stop laughing and you were weirding everyone out. Just like that time we helped out at Earl's Pokemon academy and you started laughing as soon as you saw Earl."

"Haha! He was wearing a tutu!" Josephine started laughing again to only be pushed under the water a second time.

"Will you stop that! It burns!"

"If it burns why are you still in it?"

"Shut up."

Everyone then laughed until they heard Josephine and Ash's stomachs growl, making Yasmin and Dawn laugh, until their stomachs growled as well. "Hey Brock we're gonna get something to eat okay! Wanna come with us?" Ash asked his friend who had just been rejected by another girl. "Sure I'll be there in a minute."

Everyone laughed before they headed back to their respective rooms. Since everyone's clothes were dirty from the forest, they put on other outfits. Josephine wore a red dress with a blue bow on it and her hair down with her normal red and blue headband. Dawn wore a pink dress that had white lace on the edges with a white bow on it and her star shaped clips in her hair. Josephine made Yasmin wear denim skirt and purple blouse.

"Why are we getting all dressed up?" Yasmin yelled at Josephine. "We're just going to a restaurant! It's not like a special occasion."

"I just like making you look pretty, Yasmin." Josephine smiled at her friend as she and Dawn played with Yasmin's hair in front of the mirror in their room. Yasmin was death glaring them through the mirror the whole time until they decided to put it half up and down, a bit like Dawn's normal hair.

Brock, somehow knowing about the dress up idea like the girls, decided to wear a nice green shirt and brown pants. Ash was the only one casual. T-shirt, jeans, and his hat was enough for Ash.

Okay! That was a long chapter. Now since this is also a shipping story you guys should probs know that in the new chapter is dinner. And yes, Josephine does torture me by trying to make me look pretty in real life. But she doesn't succeed offend since I hide when she tries to do that.
