The Crush or Love?

Chapter 12: The Surprise

…Walked to Misty.

"Look Mist…I just want to tell you that…"

"Yea? What?"

"That…that I don't like you!" Ash said. Misty's eyes started to water and she covered her eyes in her hands.

"Why…Why!? Who do you like then huh! I suppose it's 'Peach' or 'May'? How can you not like me?! I've been trying to catch your attention the entire time! I've been waiting for the day that you would say you love me…and after all that?! All that and all you can say is that you don't like me?! Your lucky I threw my mallet away! If I did have it, I would have killed you!! Argh!!" Misty said, angrily. She then got out of her bed, and ran off crying with misery. Ash looked sad. 'It looks like my relationship with Misty is over…' Ash thought sadly. He walked out of the room one last time, before closing the door.

Misty's Pov

I ran with all my might, as far away from Ash as possible. I stopped for I thought I was far from him. I gasped for breathe, as I thought of those words that he said before. I collapsed into the ground and sobbed, releasing my anger in tears. "W-why me?!" I screamed. "I hate you so much, Ash Ketchum!" I was glad she let out all her emotions, it had made her feel a lot better. 'I don't need Ash, there's other guys…yea!' Misty thought. I stood up again and finally realised that Ash was beside me.

"Look, Mist, I do like you, but it's just that…that a lot of people here like me as much as you! I realised a long time that you guys weren't here just to watch me in the Pokemon League…that you wanted to confess to me. I can't choose right now…it's just too early to decide. But I promise I'll tell you and the others who I like before the Pokemon League." Ash said, non-stop. I smiled. 'No wonder I love him!' I thought.

"Hello…hello, Misty you there?" Ash waved his hand in front of my face.

"Yea…I'm fine now…" I said, before punching Ash on the arm. Ash made a face.

"What was that for?"

"For messing with me!" I said, before running off. Behind me I could hear him stutter out the words 'Wait up!'

"Hehe, think you can catch me Ashy boy? Think again!" I said, as I increased my speed. A few minutes later…Ash had finally caught up with me, and we stopped for air. He gasped out, as he placed his hands on his legs, calling out the words, "M…mis…misty, don't ne…never…d…do t…that!" I laughed as I looked at his puffed out face. 'To believe I fell for this moron' I thought. Finally, after a few minutes, we were fine. As I stood up, I saw someone coming, it was obviously a female, since I could already see her body. Her face was covered by a white veil, and she was wearing a bikini.

"Hey, Ash who's that?"

"Wait…it's May!"

May's Pov

"This is gonna get him fall for me…hahahahaha!" I said, as I walked down the hallway to Ash…wait, there was someone else there!? I decided to cover herself with a veil, to surprise Ash. I finally arrived, and Ash greeted me with a hug.

"Hey Ash, wanna go for a little swim?" May asked.

"Yeah, sure…wanna come Misty?"

"Yeah, just let me get my costume,"

"I'll meet you guys by the pool then. See you there, Ash! You…too Misty." With that, I walked off to the swimming pool. Surprisingly, no one was there at all. Usually a lot of people were around, either sunbathing or just having plain fun. I grinned, and jumped into the pool. The fresh hot/cold water hit me, as I stayed underwater for a few seconds, before going back to the surface. A few minutes later…Ash and Misty had finally arrived, Ash was wearing black trunks, while Misty wore a two piece costume. I gasped, looking at Ash's muscles, which have been made so firm after those years of Pokemon training, and facing enemies. His firm back, his six pack…everything about him seemed so perfect. I was lost in my world, before I realised Ash and Misty jumped in. I was covered in splashes of water. I gasped, since I had swallowed some water by accident. I choked and Ash, being the kind man, asked if she was fine.

"Yeah, I'm fine…just swallowed some water."

"I used to do that too!" Ash laughed.

"So, Ash, I want to tell you something…" But, I, purposely slipped and fell right onto Ash, who was blushing, as my breasts pushed against his chest, "Sorry…" I said, as I looked deep into his dark chocolate eyes. I was lost in them, and he was too, by the looks of it. Meanwhile, Misty fumed with anger, still thinking that Ash was hers. Before I knew it, he kissed me…he kissed me instead of me kissing him…now that must mean something. His tongue was pressing against my lips, looking for access. Of course, I accepted and opened my mouth. His tongue slipped in and started to explore my mouth. I did the same, since I didn't want to miss out. We explored for a few minutes, before Misty screamed. Ash broke off the kiss, and looked at Misty, who was pointing at a Caterpie. Ash was, but of course, puzzled why a Caterpie was here, but he let go of me and grabbed the Caterpie. Then Ash got out of the pool and placed the Caterpie on a chair, so that it couldn't do move. Ash then walked back to the pool, but didn't go back in.

"Sorry guys, I'm sorta tired, so I'm gonna go retire in my room…" And with that he was gone. Only Misty and I remained there, thinking of what we should do.

"Soo…were all fighting for that moron huh?" Misty said.

"Yeah…I don't even know why I love him…"

"Me either. He's a complete, clumsy, kind, sweet, caring, handsome, strong, moron…With all those qualities I don't know why I fell in love with him…"

"Hmm…I have an idea."

"Yeah, what is it then?"

"Let's go and forget Ash for a day, to let him cool off."

"Hmm…that's a pretty good idea."

"Yeah…soo…what do you wanna do?"

"Go shopping?"

"Yeah, sure…but where?"

"There's a shopping mall down the hotel. We could go there…"

"Ok, let's go then!" I grabbed Misty and we walked off to the shopping mall.

Meanwhile, in a certain Pokemon trainer's room…

Ash was thinking…thinking about who he liked the most out of all the girls. Misty…sure she was fun and all, but she was sometimes a pain to be with. May…she's like Misty…except she isn't as mean as her, but she does plan a lot for me, so I have no idea about her…Duplica…she's nice and pretty and all, but I already said I didn't like her…Peach…she's my pokemon so I doubt it! Melody's just…too crazy hehe…Latias is a pokemon too so I doubt I'll like her in that way! Ash sighed, and looked outside, the sun beaming with light. 'Wish my life was as bright as that' Ash thought.

"Hmm…where's Peach? I haven't seen her since before…"

"Pika Pika!"

"Huh? Pikachu, where are you?"

"Pikachu!!!!" Ash looked under the bed to find Pikachu…crying?

"Why are you crying, Pikachu?"

"Pika Pika…"

"Turn into human and tell me." Pikachu turned into Peach, and laid there, sobbing.

"And I thought u liked me…"

"Of course I like you…"

"The why did you kiss Misty huh?!"

"She wasn't waking up so I kissed her to wake her up like in Sleeping Beauty."

"Still, you've kissed every single person here except me!"

"Well if you wanted me to kiss you, why didn't you just ask?"

"Well…I…I don't know…maybe because-" Peach couldn't say anymore, since Ash had kneeled down and was kissing her, full on. Peach grabbed hold of Ash's face, and passionately kissed back. They stayed like that for a few minutes, before breaking away from each other. Peach blushed, while Ash blushed too. They had an awkward moment for a few seconds before Peach turned back to Pikachu. Pikachu jumped back into her spot under the bed. Ash smiled and lay back onto the bed. He then fell asleep…

Meanwhile…

Duplica was planning on making Ash hers. She had an idea, but she didn't know if it was going to work so she decided to make a plan B, if her 1st plan doesn't work. Finally, Duplica had finished and decided to let her plan proceed tomorrow.

"Hahahahaha!!! Ash will be mine!!!" Duplica evilly laughed.

Back to Ash

"Hmm…why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?" Ash said, who felt a strange feeling inside himself.

"Must be my imagination…" Ash hesitated slightly. And before he even knew it himself, he had fallen asleep.

Two people having a good time…

Misty laughed at May's joke, as they continued to roam around the shopping centre, looking for interesting clothes to buy.

"I never knew you were like that May!" Misty continued laughing. May laughed too. She didn't know why she was telling her this. But it felt right to tell someone.

"I know, I haven't got a clue why I just told you that!" May said, feeling happy for once without thinking about Ash.

"Honestly now, no one would say that…except you!" Misty said, still laughing her head off.

"It's not that funny, Misty!" May said, who started to laugh with her.

"I mean…come on! To believe you let him do that to you! It's not natural! Hehe!"

"All too true."

"You know, May, this is one of the best days of my life! I'm glad I decided to ask you to go shopping…"

"Yeah, I'm glad you did." May said, walking on, "Hey look Misty! Look at that skirt! I want that now! Let's see if they have my size…"

"Haha! Let's go on in then."

"And I want that top too! Ohhhh! I want those boots! C'mon Misty, we don't have all day!"

"Maybe we should shop tomorrow. It's getting late. It's nearly dinner actually…"

"Hold on…What time is it now?"

"Hmm…It's 5:23pm."

"We'd been shopping for like 6 hrs now!"

"It seemed like 5 minutes ago we started shopping to me."

"Yeah, time flies by when your having so much fun!"

"Yep. Now we don't want to miss dinner, now do we?"

"But Misty, what about the skirt…"

"Skirts don't move, but time does, so let's go back and change for dinner."

"Awww…fine. Let's go then! I want to have enough time to impress Ash at dinner!"

"That's a good idea. Lets roll!" And with that, the two happy girls walked back to the hotel, thinking of nothing, but about tomorrow when they go shopping again.

Meanwhile in Ash's Room…

"Pika Pika!"

"Huh?" Ash woke up, to find Pikachu in front of his face, staring at him, " Oh it's you Pikachu…what time is it?" Ash looked at his watch, to find it was 5:52.

"Oh it's only 5:52...5.52! Oh no, I'm gonna be late for dinner! We have to go Pikachu, there's food waiting for us!" Ash ran off, followed by Pikachu, who was not hungry for food, but Ash. She felt as if a great burden had fallen off her shoulders, after what had happened earlier. Ash arrived at the dining room, just in time, to find nearly everyone there…

Duplica's Pov

I woke up, by the words. 'Food here I come!' 'Obviously that's Ash…He always hungry…one of the features I like about him…' I thought.

"Hold on…If Ash is running…then that means he's late…What time is it?!" Duplica said, before looking at the time to find it was 5:57.

"Uh oh…I'm late!" Duplica said, before running after Ash to the dining room. A mysterious figure was laying around, watching Duplica run off.

"Let's hope she has what it takes to get what she wants…" And with that, the mysterious figure disappeared into the shadows…
