A/N I know that's been a long time since I have done this story, but here it is. Okay, this is a request from Jaylynn where all three girls meet up with each other, and Dawn sees Misty when May made her cameo in season 11. Pokeshipping one-sided Pearlshipping, and as always, I don't own pokemon.

Chapter 4 my true love

It was a bright sunny day, and three people were at the docks waiting for a good friend of theirs May. All three were waiting for her so that they could get ready for the Wallace contest that was in just a few days. But what none of them knew was that May was not coming to Sinnoh alone, someone Ash wouldn't expect. All three of them just waited for May to show up.

"I can't wait to see May Ash!" Dawn said as she started to get excited.

As Ash and the others were waiting for May to arrive, she was on the ferry talking to someone. No one could see who it was as the person was hiding in the shadows.

"So, are you ready for this?" May asked the person who was hiding while smiling at them.

"I'm ready as I'll ever be, I think." A voice of a girl said as she came into the sun.

The person who came out was Misty, who had a big smile on her face. She had changed a lot since she last saw Ash for one; she now had her hair down and not in its side ponytail.

The other thing was she was a tiny bit taller too.

"Don't worry about it, Misty, just tell him how you feel," May said to her.

But Misty just looked at her with an 'I'm not so sure look' at her friend. May saw the look on her knowing that Misty had some doubts about what she was going to do.

Yes, she loved Ash and May knew it; everyone knows it, but Ash didn't know it. But Misty could never tell him how she felt for him; it was just too hard for her.

"Look, Misty, you have to tell him because one day I know that he cares for you, Misty, so please tell Ash you love him," said May to her, trying to make Misty understand what would happen if Misty waited any longer.

"I know that May, but what if he doesn't love me back!" Misty said to her sadly.

May smiled as she looked over at her in shock; she knew that Ash loved her after all he told her about Misty. May knows that Ash loves her; it's just the two of them would never say it to each other if their lives depended on it.

"Just tell him, Misty, alright before you lose him to someone else," said May as she warned her.

As the ferry came to the dock, Ash went up to where all the passengers were getting off. Ash saw May getting off the ferry, so he went running up to the brunette along with Dawn and Brock Pikachu, then came up behind the rest. After may give out her gifts to everyone, she turned to Ash.

"Hey, Ash, I've got someone who would love to see you!" May said, secretly winking at him.

Ash just looked at May, not know who she was going on about, still thinking about who May was on about, so Ash had to use every part of his brain to think.

"Well, May, who is it? Who's this someone that I want to see?" Ash asked.

"Come on, Ash, don't tell me you're that dense!" As Ash heard the voice, he looked up to see his best friend Misty.

Ash just looked at her as it was a dream that he didn't want to get up from right now. As he looked at her, Misty gave a smile at him, and Ash returned that smile.

"I must be dreaming if Misty's here," Ash said as he didn't know if this was real or not.

At that point, he hoped that he was not dreaming this all. Ash took a good hard look at her as he walked towards her Misty was also making her way to him. When Ash got to Misty, he just smiled at her knowing now that this was no dream.

"Hi, Ash, long time no see." She said to him, smiling at him.

"Yeah, long time no see Misty," Ash said to her too.

During this time, both May and Brock were smiling at the two. But the two of them were smiling at Ash, and Misty Dawn just gave Misty an angry look.

*Who is this girl, and why is Ash so happy to see her.* Dawn thought, still looking at the two of them.

But as Dawn looked at her, Piplup was also looking at the redhead. Pikachu saw the way Dawn was looking at Misty, and he knew that Dawn wasn't happy to see her at all. But Pikachu didn't want to deal with this right now; he just wanted to see Misty.

"So Ash, how's everything been going for you?" Misty asked him, but before Ash could answer her, Pikachu came running into her arms.

"Hello there, Pikachu. I'm happy to see you!" Misty said, smiling at him.

Seeing how Pikachu was with this girl made her madder than she was before. What made it worse was that Pikachu had never done that to her before Pikachu was always with Ash.

"I don't know who this girl is, but there is no way she's taking Ash!" Dawn thought to herself.

As the three of them came over to her, Dawn just looked at Misty with hate. When Ash came up to her, Dawn gave a fake smile at Misty.

"Hey, Dawn, I want you to meet a good friend of mine, Misty," Ash said to her.

When she heard that name, Dawn's eyes went wide open in shock. Dawn remembered what she learned not too long ago about Misty being in Cerulean city as a gym leader.

"Hello there, Misty. My name is Dawn." She said with a fake smile.

After shaking her hand Dawn then looked over at Ash as he came over to her. As the four of them made their way to the Pokémon center, May decided to show them her Glaceon that had evolved. So Ash decided to show Misty his Pokémon that he had.

"So Mist, would you like to see the Pokémon I have?" Ash asked her.

When Dawn heard Ash calling her by a nickname, this just made her angrier at her. She didn't like that Ash had a nickname for her in the first place.

"I'd love to see them, Ash," Misty said, happy, wanting to see the Pokémon he had.

So Ash started to show her all of his Pokémon that he had captured. Ash then sent out all of his Pokémon.

"Guys, I want you to meant a good friend of mine, Misty," Ash said to them as he went to point to Misty, only not to find her there.

Ash tried to look for her, hoping that she was safe. He then turned towards his Pokémon to find her hugging Buizel blushing at the water Pokémon Ash just smiled at her. Seeing Misty like this with his Buizel made him happy.

"What a cutie you are!" Misty said, still hugging Buizel.

All of Ash's other Pokémon just looked at her. Most of them didn't know why Ash's friend was acting like this. But Buizel didn't mind the attention he was getting from her; he likes it. All Ash could do was look at her; he knew that she had a soft spot for water Pokémon.

"So Misty, I take it that you like my Buizel then," Ash said to her.

"You bet I do, Ash; it's so sweet," Misty said, hugging it again.

As Misty put Buizel down, she went to the other Pokémon one by one she saw all of them. But one of them was too scared to come up to her; he was hiding behind Ash's leg. Misty saw the little Pokémon and came up to him; the Pokémon was Chimchar. As Misty went to say hi, Chimchar backed off only to be picked up by Ash.

"Sorry about that, Misty. You see, Chimchar had a hard to by its former trainer!" Ash said to her.

"What to do mean Ash?" Misty asked him, not knowing what he meant.

Ash then started to tell Misty about Paul and what he did to his Pokémon. How he got rid of them if they didn't win a battle as he did with Chimchar. OHow he forced them to fight and not care about them at all. Everything Misty heard from Ash about Paul made her sick.

"That's just horrible. How could that jerk do such a thing?" Misty asked.

Seeing how Chimchar was, Misty slowly took Chimchar out of Ash's arms and holding it. At first, Chimchar was sacred of Misty, but he found that she was kind like Ash. Later that day, the four of them competed in a battle for an excellent restaurant to eat there. But all of the food was taken by Team Rocket, but they got it back, and as night came, the two started to talk more.

"So Ash, from what May told me, you're going to be in the contest here," Misty said to him.

"You got that right, Misty, and I'm going to win!" Ash said proudly to her.

Misty just giggled at this; it was hard for her to see Ash in a contest. The two almost spent the whole night talking, both telling the other what they had been doing since the last time they saw each other. The next morning, everyone went off to the Wallace contest; they met up with Zoe Dawn's rival when they got there.

"Hey there, Dawn, it's good to see you." She said, smiling at her.

But when Zoe saw Dawn, she knew that she was not too happy at something. She knew that she had to find out what was wrong with her.

"So Dawn, what that matter anyway?" Zoe asked her.

"Well, Zoe, you see that girl over there, Zoe," Dawn said as she pointed at Misty.

As she looked at her, Zoe saw that Dawn was jealous of that red-headed girl. Zoe then saw who the girl was with, and that was Ash; she then knew why Dawn was so mad she looked at Dawn with a big smile.

"So Dawn, it seems that you're in love with Ash?" Zoe asked her with a grin.

"What, I'm not in love with Ash!" Dawn shouted as she blushed angrily at her.

Zoe could tell that Dawn was in love, but she needed to know how the red-headed girl felt. When Dawn went to get changed for her contest, Zoe went over to see Ash and Misty.

"Hey there, Ash, who's this then?" Zoe asked as she looked at the girl.

"Oh, Zoe, this is my best friend Misty. She wants to become a water Pokémon master," Ash said to her.

As the young girl looked at the two, wondering if they were in love with each other. Dawn needed to know so she could tell Dawn what she knew and so that she would stop worrying over Ash.

"So are you two together as in going out?" Zoe asked, looking at the two.

"What, no, we are not going out together!" They both shouted while blushing.

As the two of them were blushing, Zoe saw that they did love each other because they were blushing. She knew that this would hurt Dawn, but from what Ash said about Misty being an old friend, their love was strong.

After talking to Ash and Misty, Zoe went back to Dawn to tell her what she had found out. Dawn was not too happy, to say the least, that Ash was in love with her, but she would win his heart. Later that day, everyone got ready for the contests, and when she saw what Ash was wearing, all she could do was laugh at the clothes he had on.

"Boy Ash this is why I'm glad that I don't do contests!" Misty said, still laughing at him.

"Very funny, Mist very funny," Ash said, looking at her.

As everyone got ready to watch the show, Misty gave a thumbs up to him as a good luck sign. Both Misty and Brock watched their friends. Misty loved how Ash was doing with Buizel and the other people as well after him. After seeing everyone compete, Misty and Brock went to see their friends waiting to see who would go to the next round.

"You were great out there, Ash. I know that you'll win this," Misty said to him.

Ash just looked at her with a smile; he knew Misty was such a good friend to him. He guessed that's why he loved her, but he would never tell her that or anyone, not even Pikachu.

"Thanks, Mist; it means a lot coming from you!" He said to her with a smile.

As they all watched the big TV screen, waiting to see who would be going to the next round. Misty then held Ash's hand to give him the confidence she knew he needed from her, and he saw this and blushed as did Misty. As all the people came up, Misty saw that all of them are him the next round. It wasn't long until the battles started both May and Zoe had won their battles; the only two left were Ash and Dawn.

"Good luck with your battle, Ash. I know you can beat him," Misty said to him.

But luck wasn't on Ash's side in this battle; he tried to put up a good fight. But his opponent was too strong for him, and he lost. As Ash returned to the backroom, Misty went up to him; she said nothing but gave him a warm and loving hug, and he hugged her back.

"You did your best, Ash," Misty said to him.

"I know, but I don't want to do contests, remember!" He said cheekily at her as he touched her nose.

After the first round of battling had ended, everyone went to their rooms for the night. After the six of them had few laughs, Ash decided to go out for a while, and Misty decided to go after him.

"Hey there, Ash. What are you thinking about?" Misty asked him.

"Just thinking about some that I know is going to happen after all this is done!" Ash said, and Misty could tell he was sad but why.

As Misty went up to him, she saw that he was trying not to cry, and then it hit her. Misty knew what was wrong; she would leave him again; she knew that she didn't want to go as well. But her sisters were no good at gym leading, and she knew this, as did Ash.

"Listing Ash, I know how you're feeling right now because I don't want to go either," Misty said to him.

Seeing Ash becoming this upset was too much for her, so Misty also started to cry as well, unable to see Ash like this.

"I don't want you to go, Misty. I want you to stay here with me!" Ash said to her, still crying.

"I don't want to leave you either, Ash, but I have to go Ash no matter how much I hate it!" Misty sobbed at him.

"Then don't go stay with me, please, Misty. I miss you so much!" He said, crying even more.

Soon without either of the two knowing, they started to move closer to each other. Slowly Ash and Misty held each other's hands, and all the two could do was look at each other.

"God, she's so beautiful; all I want to do is kiss her," Ash thought, but what he didn't know was Misty was thinking the same thing.

"God, he's so handsome. All I want to do is kiss him," Misty thought.

Soon both of their lips were moving closer and closer to each other. As the two neared, each other Pikachu turned away from them, not wanting to look, knowing that they forgot about him.

As the two were about to kiss for the first time, they were interrupted by something in the water. Both Ash and Misty saw something, but it was hiding from them; they could only see it. Soon it flew away into the sky, but all Ash and Misty could do were stand there in shock at what happened.

"What was that just now, Ash?" Misty asked him.

"I don't know Misty, but let's go tell Brock," Ash said to her, just as confused as he was.

So the two of them went running back to Brock to tell him what they saw. It took some time for them to get back to him, and when they did, both of them started to tell Brock what they both saw. At first, no one believed them and what they saw until Dawn told them that it could be the same Pokémon that she saw. Then May said she had also seen the same Pokémon; this was strange for all of them.

The next day round two of battling started, and May was up against Zoe. The battle was hard for both of them, but neither of them gave up. They both wanted to win the ribbon, and neither was going to give up. After a very long and hard Pokémon battle with the two, May had one but just barely.

"Wow, I can't believe Zoe lost!" Dawn said in shock, looking on in shock over Zoe losing.

"It looks like both May and Dawn will be battling it out in the last round," Brock said to everyone.

Everyone knew that this was going to be a tough match for the both of them as friends. Only one of them could win, and as both came back to see their friends as they got there, both May and Dawn looked at each other ready to face each other.

"That was a good match, you two," Ash said to both Zoe and May.

"Thanks, Ash. I only wish that both Dawn and I could have both won," Said May as she looked at her friends with a smile.

Dawn was ready for this; all she hoped was that she could win. But that was not her only battle; she wanted to win Dawn wanted to win Ash's heart. But Dawn knew that this would be a hard fight for her to win.

"I will win Ash over that Misty girl. I'm just glad she's going back home after this contest is over," Dawn thought to herself.

As both finalists waited for the last match and it didn't take long before, they quickly called up. As both came on to the stage, they each faced the other ready to win no matter what, but it would be hard for them to be friends. The battle started with a big bang for the both of them, May using her Glaceon and Dawn using her Piplup. During the battle, Dawn had many close calls when Piplup was almost lost; they both wished only one could win. And in the end, after a long and tough fight, Dawn won and got her third contest ribbon.

Later on that day, everyone started to say their goodbyes to May, Zoe, and Misty. What no one knew was how hard it was for both Ash and Misty to leave each other once again; neither of them wanted to go.

"Well, I guess this is it, hey Ash?" Misty asked him with a sad look on her face.

"Yeah, it is, but I wish you could stay!" Ash begged her.

"I'm sorry, Ash, but I have to," She said to him.

All the two could do was hug each other; they wanted to kiss each other, but they didn't want to do it yet. As Ash and Misty gave their last goodbyes, they went their separate ways, but in their hearts, knowing that they would see each other again one day.

A/N well, this took me a long time to do, but it's finished. I hope that you like it. And yes, I left it here so that if anyone wants to do anything with it, you can ask me first pulse I want you to use your imagination.
