Ash always thought he hated it, looking at the stars with Misty while sitting on a deserted, grassy hill named Indigo Hill when the night came down. However, when Misty put her arm around him, he obviously did like it. Maybe the stars didn't interest my trainer, but being around Misty certainly did. Meanwhile, Pikachu fell asleep on her lap while I rested on his.

I certainly loved this, a calm evening with my Ashy-boy. Sure, it wasn't a date. This was Misty's idea. I couldn't help but feel like she was hoping this would lead to a confession of their obvious feelings. Obvious to everyone but each other...

However, neither of them made any attempt to say anything. The two talked and talked and talked, but never about romantic things. Misty told Ash about the torture at the Gym, he told her about the lost Leagues, Dawn and Iris getting on his nerves and Serena acting weird around him.

There was one moment when Ash seemed to finally make a move. He said "Misty, there's something I..." However, he chickened out. When Misty asked what he wanted to say, he quickly said he was looking forward to their next adventure, with a giant blush on his face.

Things got even worse when Ash quickly went back to the hotel to pee. "I'll be back in five minutes."

I finally got some time alone with Misty. I snuggled my head on her lap, pushing Pikachu away in the process, this time truly by accident. I just wanted to show Misty some support. "Bay Bay," I squealed. Ash was happy, I was happy. So now, it was time to make Misty happy.

When I saw a nearby flower shop, I ran away and grabbed a beautiful red rose with my vines and squealed towards the florist, who told me I could have it for free because she thought I was adorable.

Two minutes later, even before Ash got back, I apologized to Pikachu, who was asleep on Misty's lap again.

"I wish I could tell Ash how I feel, but I think he might be too stupid to get that."

"Who is too stupid for what?" a raven-haired young man asked. Ash was back. "You're not talking about me, are you?"

"Ash, you misheard me... I told Bayleef a story about my sisters, nothing about you!" Misty tried, but Ash didn't believe her. He knew she and I were talking about him.

Then, I grabbed Ash with my vines, walked away a few steps and handed Ash the rose. "Bay! Bay Bayleef Bay!" I explained.

"Bayleef, you want me to give that to Misty?" my trainer asked. You think I like her that way? Okay, I really do, but she probably won't want to be more than friends...

"Bay Bay!" I snapped. How could he not see that Misty was crushing on him, even after simply ignoring her for fifteen years?

I put Ash down, next to Misty. Then, I stood in front of them and released my vines, putting them in a heart-shape.

"Um... Mist? I've been thinking a lot about you lately," my trainer whispered in the redhead's ear.

Yes, that's it! Go on, Ash!

"And I want to give you this rose," he said.

"A rose? But... Drew often gave May roses, and they just got married," Misty said. She was obviously testing Ash, seeing how far she could drag this confession. Or maybe she just wanted to make sure this wasn't a friendly gesture. Of course she knew Ash got that rose from me, since I also gave her one.

"Well, Misty, you really want to hear this? You might get very angry if I tell you about this... You might even get your mallet out if I do..." Ash murmured.

"I'll get my mallet if you don't tell me!" Misty snapped. "Ash Ketchum, I've been waiting fifteen years for this moment, so you'd better do it now!"

"Okay then, here it goes... It's a long story..." Ash said softly. "When we were at the beach for the first time, and I saw you in that red bikini, I felt something. I didn't know what it was at the time, but it felt like something in my swimming trunks grew."

"Go on," she said.

"When other guys showed interest in you, like Danny and Rudy, I was furious and jealous," he admitted. "Back then, I didn't get it, but now I do. When I was in Sinnoh with Dawn and Brock, Brock took me apart when Dawn was training for a contest. He talked to me about love and sex. Suddenly, all my feelings for you suddenly made sense. Before that day, it was really weird."

"What kind of feelings?" she teased. She knew her romantic dream was finally coming true, but she wanted him to go all out. Furthermore, she always loved teasing him. She did that back in Johto when I was still around. Seeing those two argue feels like I'm in a time machine. Ash and Misty finally getting together, and me travelling with them again... How could it get any better than that?

"Well, I have a picture of you as a mermaid that was on a flyer for a mermaid show that I found just before I went to Alola. I sometimes go to the toilet for quite a long time and then look at that picture... Doing stuff. Yes, that stuff. I never told my Alolan friends about this, but since I'm telling you all these things anyways..." he admitted.

Of course, I just poked Pikachu with my vines, and he heard this priceless confession. "Pikachu, you've got to hear this!"

"Bayleef, this is gross!" Pikachu said. "You know Ash never washes his hands after going to the toilet! Who knows how many times he held me after doing that? Oh well, at least he finally dropped that stubborn act and confesses."

I felt bad for Pikachu, but couldn't help but laugh. Picturing Ash doing this kind of stuff, despite his dense image... This is awesome! Of course I'm a bit jealous about him getting together with Misty tonight, but I'm mostly just really happy for Ash and Misty.

After staring in silence at the child in an adult's body, the redhead pulled him even tighter towards her.

"Misty, what I want to say is... I love you," he admitted.

"So we're super best friends now, even better than Pikachu and Bayleef?" she teased.

"No, I mean... I want to be your boyfriend!" Ash shouted.

Of course, Misty couldn't resist the temptation any longer and planted her lips on Ash's. And not just her lips. Her tongue also slided into his mouth and danced with his. Then, the two started taking each other's clothes off. Only one minute later, the naked Champion of Kanto and Johto was on top of the former Gym Leader and aspiring Water Pokemon Master, who moaned louder and louder.

Since this was getting a bit too kinky to our tastes, Pikachu and I decided to go back to the Pokemon Center to give Ash and Misty some much-needed privacy. There was no one else on Indigo Hill, so they could easily go on. "Finally, Pikachu. Ash finally did it. This was the most unromantic confession ever, but it's still a confession. I'm proud of him."

"Me too, but I still can't believe this took him so long," Pikachu said.

"You were right all along. Humans are so stubborn sometimes..." I answered.

One hour later, Ash and Misty returned to the sleeping room. And this time, I got to join Ash in bed, while Pikachu would stay over in Misty's bed on the other side of the room.

"Bayleef, I don't know how you became so romantic and got me that rose, but thank you so much!" Ash said. "Sex with Misty feels even better than becoming the Champion of Kanto and Johto!"

When Ash hugged me, I started squealing again. Only one thing made me happier than spending time with Ash, and that was making him happy. "Bay Bay!"
