"Are we almost there yet?"

"Does it look like we're here, Ash?" A redheaded girl known as Misty sighed, barely glancing at her best friend.

"Not exactly..." He mumbled, looking out the plane window and banging his head off of it.

"Then shut up."

"..."

"What are you looking at?" She sighed again, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I'm not even looking at you!" Ash rolled his brown eyes, glancing out the window.

"Yes you were."

"No I wasn't!"

"Well anyway..." He began, twiddling his thumbs and glancing sideways at her.

"What?"

"...Are we there now...?"

Misty groaned and smacked her hand against her forehead. "I swear to Arceus Ash Ketchum, if I had my mallet right no-"

"Alrighty then!" Cilan interrupted his friend, a sweat drop forming on his head. "Uh, Ash we'll be in Paris in about fifteen minutes, and Misty... You'll get your mallet soon...?"

"The sooner the better," she huffed silently, turning her back on Ash to face her other friend, May.

"I can't wait until we get there!" May gushed as soon as Misty turned to face her, the redhead grinned back.

"I know! Not only will it be awesome traveling with all of you guys, it's known as the region of love!"

"It'll be so romantic..." May agreed, clasping her gloved hands together.

"They're such little kids," Iris mumbled from beside Cilan but absentmindedly grabbed an apple from midair and crunching on it.

"I wonder why it's called that anyway..." Ash mumbled to no one in particular, resting his head on his hand.

"Who knows?" Misty giggled, May tapped her chin, trying to think about it herself.

"I know why it's called that," Drew suddenly said loudly, gaining everyone's attention.

"Oh yeah? What is it...?" Ash blinked, sitting forward so he could see the green haired boy who was beside May and Tracey.

"Well, apparently everyone who goes there hooks up and has 'fun'." He smirked, adding air quotations at the end.

"What do you mean?" Ash frowned, making everyone sweat drop.

"That's not the reason and you know it!" May huffed, folding her arms and huffing. "It's romantic, not any of that!"

"Whatever, Red." Drew shrugged, flicking his hair from his eyes. "But you know it's true."

"It's not true!"

"Care to tell what your reason is then?" He smirked again. The brown haired girl growled and pouted.

"I don't know for sure-"

"Exactly, you don't know, meaning I'm right."

"Your not right!"

"What are they even talking about?" Ash hissed to Misty, she smiled nervously at him then turned to everyone else.

"Someone explain to him..."

"Jeez, you really think I'm that dense?" Ash pouted, waterfall tears running down his face.

"Wait, you know what he's talking about?"

"I'm not that stupid!"

"Wanna bet?"

"Misty!"

"Guys, calm down!" Tracey sweat dropped, waving his pencil in the air frantically.

"You're gonna hit me in the head!" Iris shrieked and practically jumped on Cilan's lap, his face turning slightly pink.

"Sorry..." Tracey laughed, his sweat drop growing bigger and an embarrassed blush streaking his nose as he put the pencil away.

"Attention passengers, the flight will be landing I'm a few minutes. Please put on your seat belts!" A loud voice said, Brock's eyes quickly grew into hearts.

"The woman who owns that beautiful voice will someday be my bride!"

"Brock that was a mans voice..."
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

"I'm so psyched to get looking around!" Ash grinned as soon as they stepped off the plane, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"For once I agree with you!" Iris laughed, lifting Axew from her hair where she had hidden him during the flight.

"Oh, that reminds me..." Ash mumbled before yanking at Misty's draw string bag, trailing her towards him.

"Hey!" She yelped, turning around to glare at whoever grabbed her. "Ash, what the hell?!"

"I'm getting Pikachu!" He shrugged, reaching into her bag to let the yellow mouse escape.

"You could've, I dunno, asked?" Misty sighed, smiling brightly when Pikachu leaped into her arms. "Hey Pikapal!"

"Hello to you too Pikachu," Ash muttered sarcastically, but smiled when Pikachu cuddled in her arms.

"Well anyway..." Misty smiled and set Pikachu back on Ash's shoulder where he normally sat. "Does anyone know where we're going...?"

"I know!" Brock yelled loudly, stepping in front of everyone and holding out one of his hands. "...To find pretty girls!"

Misty smacked a hand against her forehead and grabbed Brock away by the ear, raising an eyebrow at Cilan. "Do you know where to go?"

"I have an ide-"

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Ashy-Boy!"

"Wha-? Gary?!" Ash's eyes widened at the sight of his old rival and childhood friend. "What're you doing here?"

"Gramps sent me to do research on why it's known as the love region or whatever." He shrugged and shoved one of his hands in the pockets of his purple skinny jeans, the other slung around the shoulder of a girl. "What about you?"

"We're all here to travel together." He grinned, turning to face his companions.

"Maybe we should stay a little longer to see you, I dunno, fall in love..." Gary teased, narrowing his eyes at his younger friend.

"What do you mean?" Ash rolled his eyes. "I don't like anyone like that."

"We'll see." Gary smirked, taking his hand out of his pocket again. "I thought I didn't like anyone too, but then Jayme and I came here an confessed."

"Jayme?"

"Hey," the pink haired girl Gary had his arm around said simply, smiling at Ash. He offered her a smile back, glancing at Gary.

"Another cheerleader I'm guessing?"

"Cheerleader...?" Jayme frowned, Gary sweat dropped.

"That's enough!" Gary waved a hand in the air, glaring at Ash. "She was my best friend and when we came here we confessed, coincidence? I think not."

"So?" Ash raised his eyebrows, Gary rolled his eyes.

"Think about it, Jayme and I have been best friends since I met her in Sinnoh when she was traveling with her sister and we've always had a crush on each other I guess. Who's your best friend you have a crush on?"

"Misty, you know that." Ash rolled his eyes again before turning bright red. "No! I mean, she's my best friend! I don't like her like that!"

"Yeah, yeah." Gary smirked, glancing down at Jayme. "Should we stay a while longer...?"

"Sure!" She nodded, he nodded back and grinned at Ash.

"Then it's official, we're traveling with you guys wether you like it or not."

"Great."
