Chapter 3

Ash's went on his journey through the Kanto region, challenging every gym, and collecting information on all of the Pokemon he encountered; along the way he made many great friends like Misty, a pale tomboy with red hair and fiery temper to match the color of her hair. Ash thought that Misty could be a closeted lesbian, but he wasn't sure; he thought only time would tell. The two of them met in Viridian Forest and decided to travel together until Cerulean City. Ash's journey to collect every gym badge began in Pewter Cit where he met Brock, the gym leader. During Ash's stay in Pewter City the two of them, as well as Misty, became such good friends that Brock decided to leave his Gym leadership to discover himself on a journey through Kanto with Ash and Misty (which was good since Brock was a good cook and Ash and Misty didn't even know how to cook a rice ball). To Ash, Brock seemed like a bastion of heterosexuality; A strong, tall, tan, muscular man who hit on every girl that he saw. Each time that he saw a member of the Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny family he would fall in love all over again and try to woo them. The three of them soon became best friends and enjoyed their travels together.

After Pewter city the three of them marched their way through Moon Cave and made their way to Cerulean City where Ash was in for a surprise. When he went to challenge the Cerulean gym he discovered that Misty was the leader and that he would have to fight her for the badge. Ash defeated Misty, received his badge, and soon him and Brock were on their way to the next gym. As soon as they reached the outskirts of Cerulean City, Misty caught up with them and confessed her desire to travel with the two of them through the rest of Kanto, and potentially beyond. Both Ash and Brock were happy to have her join them and the three of them headed to Vermilion City. In Vermilion City Ash battled Lt. Surge to earn his third badge, and after that it was a consistent march to the next city with a gym badge so Ash could collect them all and challenge the Indigo League. Ash challenged the Indigo League with the support of Misty and Brock, but fell short in the quarter-finals to a trainer from Saffron City. Ash went back home to Palette with good spirits as this was surely only his first try at winning a league championship.

Nine months after Ash's departure he, along with his new friends made their way back and were greeted by a homecoming party threw by Ash's mother, Professor Oak, and Mr. Mime who Oak gave to Ash's mom to keep her company while her son was away. The celebrations were underway with Mr. Mime serving the guests cake, rice balls, and pizza. Ash's mom kept on hugging her son for minutes at a time, so proud of what he had achieved at his young age.

"Me and Mr. Mime saw all of your battles on the TV," stated Ash's mom with a beaming smile to her son, "I had no idea that you had such great potential to be a trainer. Maybe a couple leagues more and you'll win it all!"

"Haha, thanks, mom" Ash said, "but I really couldn't have gotten that far if it wasn't for Pikachu and the rest of my Pokemon."

"Pika-pi!" agreed Pikachu.

"Speaking of Pokemon you also did a great job collecting data on all of them," declared Professor Oak, perusing Ash's Pokedex and munching on a piece of cake at the same time.

"Also I can't believe the friends you have made," said Ash's mom, walking over to Brock and Misty to give them a hug, "I doubt he could've made it past Mt. Moon without you guys."

"Hey!" exclaimed Ash who paused before finishing his sentence, "... never mind you're probably right..."

"Haha," laughed Brock rubbing the back of his head, "it was no problem. I had fun learning about Pokemon and learning more about myself during the journey. I've now realized that I want to be the most famous Pokemon breeder in the world."

"Yeah, and I just wanted an excuse to get out of the Cerulean Gym!" declared a happy Misty.

"Well regardless, I'm happy that you were right beside him for his adventure, and more importantly that you brought him home," said Ash's mom, giving her deepest thanks to the two.

"I'd be happy to do it all again," stated Misty.

"Me too!" said Brock raising his fist up in the air.

"Well, perhaps both of you can again," interjected Professor Oak. Everybody in the room paused and looked at Professor Oak. He began again.

"Ash," he started, "I am very impressed by all of the work you did in the Kanto region by filling your Pokedex with valuable information of Pokemon researchers. I am so impressed that I would like you to do it again, but not here in Kanto, but rather the Johto region next door. It is a new region to you, filled with new Pokemon, gyms, and the Silver League, where maybe you could possibly win it all like you tried in the Indigo League. It is up to you Ash, but I'm asking you first because you are one of the best trainers I have seen in decades. What do you say, Ash?"

Ash paused and considered the old man's offer. He looked around at all the people in the room, first at Brock, then Misty, then his mother. Finally he looked at Pikachu who gave him a confirming look.

"I say yes, Professor Oak!" exclaimed Ash. Everyone in the room cheered.

"I would be happy to come along with you," said Misty.

"Me too," added Brock, "all the new Pokemon I'll meet will help me in my Pokemon Breeding studies."

"Haha, yes this sounds awesome you guys," proclaimed Ash, jumping up from his seat.

"This sounds wonderful. Whenever you are ready a ferry will take you to New Bark Town in Johto, where you will meet my associate Professor Elm who will give you a new Johto Pokedex and from there you're journey will begin," Professor Oak told Ash, "I will call him when I get to the lab."

The old man got up and started walking out of the house with the Pokedex in one hand and a piece of cake in the other. Ash stopped him before he got out of the door.

"Hey professor," said Ash tapping him on the shoulder, "do you happen to know where Gary is? I just wanted to say hi."

"Hmmm, I'm not sure where he is at the moment," Oak started with a piece of cake in his mouth, "he usually comes in my lab every morning and asks me if I need him to help with any research. He's been doing that for the past nine months or so. He has potential to be the greatest Pokemon professor since me, haha! I'm not sure where he his, but he should be somewhere around town."

The old man chuckled as he left the house and walked back to his lab. Ash looked back into the kitchen and noticed that Brock and Pikachu were now taking a nap and Misty and Ash's mom were talking to each other. He thought it would be a good time to go look for Gary.

"He mom, I'm gonna go walk around town for a little while," Ash told his mother, "I'll be back in a couple of hours."

"Okay, sweetie, don't have too much fun!" exclaimed Ash's mom approvingly.

Ash ran out of the front door and first headed to the park where he and Gary spent so many days together. Ash had hoped to stop thinking about Gary on his adventure, but he couldn't. He thought about Gary every night on his journey; Gary, a ghostly spirit haunted Ash every step of the adventure, but Ash would be lying if he said that he did not like it. He enjoyed thinking about Gary, each one of those nights; he fantasized about the tawny haired boy, and dreamed about how the two of them would become best friends and lovers again. Just thinking about that made Ash's heart race, and a warm, euphoric sensation that he only experienced with Gary would overtake him. Ash arrived at the park and searched for Gary; he could not be seen.

Ash left the park and began searching every spot in Palette Town that he thought Gary might be in. He looked all around, desperately to find the boy with the arctic eyes, but it was to no avail; every spot that Ash looked there was no Gary. Only one spot remained in Ash's mind. It was their spot. The secret cove that only the two boys knew about, and spent so many loving hours at. He ran to it as fast as he possibly could. He thought surely that Gary was there. Running past all of the bystanders in the town he soon ventured on the secret path that would lead him to the cove. He pound of his foot on the ground and each breath that he took built a palpable anticipation that could be felt in the air around Ash. It was starting to kill him. He arrived at the secret cove that the two loved so much. Off by the shore, sitting barefoot in the warm white sands, he saw him; he saw the tawny haired boy that he wanted to see so badly. Ash soaked in every detail of the scene he was looking at.

It was now early evening. The golden sun of the summer was just now beginning its slow descent down from the sky. The sky had a pale, tangerine colored tinge and the puffy summer clouds were colored a grayish purple. There was light breeze that carried them ever so slowly across the sky; Ash could feel that breeze blowing on his cheeks and the parts of his hair not covered by his hat. The ocean's waves were a tranquil Aegean blue that calmed Ash's mind. There was a serene silence that was only occasionally broken by the crying of Magikarp breaching the surface, and the coos of Pidgeys resting on the clifftops. Everything was peaceful and pacifying; Ash forgot about the true beauty of this place on his travels. It was little wonder to him why he found Gary in a place of such undisturbed beauty. Ash began his walk towards Gary. Each step he took required the strength of a thousand Machamp. The whole walk towards him felt to Ash like a still, emotionless eternity. Ash eventually made his way up to Gary. He spoke to him in calm, solemn voice. He spoke only one word.

"Hi."

Gary turned his head around and was taken aback. He felt his heart skip a beat and warm rush of blood fill every vein in his body. He had not felt this ever since Ash left. He stood up, and wanted to give Ash and hug, but he didn't. He instead looked into Ash's caramel eyes. It had been so long since he had seen Ash. Both boys were now 12, and were taller, and had more defined physiques (although Gary had way more muscle). Gary did not know how to approach this situation. After a few moments of silence he spoke back.

"Hey," was the word that Gary spoke back simply to Ash.

"How have you been? It's been a long ass time," Ash asked.

"I've been okay," replied Gary, "I've been helping gramps research Pokemon at the lab."

"Yeah, he told me. He said you could maybe be one of the greatest professors one day."

"I hope so. I've been studying hard ever since you left. How was your journey through Kanto?"

"Good. I made two great friends named Misty and Brock and I got all eight badges to challenge the Indigo League."

"How did you do there?"

"I lost in the semi-finals, but I still had fun."

The quiet awkward conversation between the two paused. Gary started eyeing Ash's body; he had missed him more than he or Ash had thought. He felt such a rush inside of him that it was an internal battle to contain it. The rush beckoned him to go grab Ash and kiss him lovingly on his perfect lips. The rush beckoned him to lay Ash down on the warm sand and make love to him and not care about a thing in the world. Gary felt himself giving into the rush; he felt his hand twitch and his heart pound hard like the hooves of a Rapidash on the open plains. To Gary's own internal surprise, he was not the one who made the first move. Ash stepped over to Gary, rested his hand on Gary's shoulder, tilted his head, closed his eyes and placed his soft lips onto Gary's. As soon as the two pairs of tender lips touched, a spark of fiery love ignited a flame. Gary removed Ash's hat and placed his hands on the sides of Ash's head and Ash wrapped both his arms around Gary's neck. Tongues swirled together is harmonious fashion and hearts were beating together. Ash moved his hands down to start taking off Gary's black shirt; Gary did not try to stop him. A huge part of him forgot what Ash had done to him and wanted this to happen. Ash took off Gary's shirt, and the tawny haired boy removed Ash's white shirt. Ash got down on his knees and started to pull down Gary's shorts.

Ash took of Gary's shorts leaving him in only his tight underwear that contoured around every detail of the bulge inside. Ash could see the outline of Gary's head through the underwear and started craving it. Ash peeled off the underwear, revealing Gary's erect penis. It had grown half an inch over the nine months that Ash was gone, but besides that every perfect detail that Ash loved was still the same. Gary was now fully naked and Ash had to look up and admire Gary's immaculate body. He stared at his defined pecs and biceps, as well the chiseled chin that seemed like it could break steel. Ash couldn't help but falling in love with him all over again. Ash placed his hand on the lower half of the shaft of Gary's cock and then moved his mouth onto the member. Ash loved the taste of Gary warm cock in his mouth. He used his tongue to lick right under the head.

"Ah!" moaned Gary combing his fingers through Ash's black hair, "you haven't lost your skill for this, and you haven't forgotten my weakness."

"It's a hard one to forget," winked Ash with a smile on his face. He started licking Gary's red colored ball sack, and used his hand to jerk off the wet penis. Gary peered down at Ash and thought to himself that this was a look that he loved seeing.

"Gary, I've missed you and your cock so much," stated Ash looking intently at Gary's member. Gary thought about responding but he didn't. He just let out a groan instead. Ash placed his mouth back onto the cock, bobbing his head up and down, deepthroating every inch of it, stimulating the nerve endings at the end of Gary's penis. Gary placed his hand on the back of Ash's head to help him move his head more. After a few more minutes of pleasuring Gary Ash couldn't take it anymore; he removed his head, laid down on the sand, unbuckled his belt, ripped off his jeans and underwear, and kicked off his shoes and socks. The tan boy was bare naked and had a throbbing five inch erection. He looked affectionately into Gary's eyes before rolling over, laying on his elbows and sticking his ass up in the air. He turned his head around and peered at Gary, beckoning him to enter.

"I need you inside me, dude," declared Ash using one hand to spread a cheek, showing the tight, pink ass hole that Ash possessed.

Gary wished that he could resist the temptation to enter Ash, but he thought in that moment that maybe Ash had changed and that he wouldn't hurt him again; the side that thought that was stronger. Gary walked over, with his hand on his dick. He guided it into Ash's tight, hairless hole. Gary's member squeezed it's way into the hole and the tightness was almost overwhelming for Gary. A wave was pleasure stimulated him; it was as if it was his first time fucking Ash's ass all over again. Gary began thrusting back and forth giving him so much pleasure it forced him to give out moans.

"Fuuuckk," moaned Gary, "Ash, you-you're so tight..."

"I love the way you feel in me," Ash moaned back, starting to rub the head of his penis with the palm of his hand.

"This feels so good, Ash," Gary declared.

"You're telling me," chuckled Ash, whose g-spot was now getting touch by the tip of Gary's dick. Gary began thrusting faster; he slapped one of Ash's cheeks, making Ash moan with glee. Gary placed his hands on Ash's hip to help him thrust his cock faster. He forced his body forwards and Ash's ass backwards. Gary's ball began making contact with Ash's ass, creating a clapping sound. Gary and Ash could be as loud as they wanted to. No one was around to intrude on their love making. Both boys moaned loudly as they could not contain the feelings of pure ecstasy. Beads of sweat formed on their bodies.

"Fu-fuck me harder, Gary," moaned Ash who was jerking his cock with his whole hand now.

"I will," grunted Gary who was now inserting his cock deeper into Ash's asshole. The clapping sound and the moans got louder with each thrust that Gary gave.

"This feels so-feels so good," Ash moaned as his eyes rolled in head from the powerful dicking he got.

"Ah, fuck, I agree," groaned Gary, whose left hand was now firmly grasping Ash's shoulder. Ash loved to feel Gary's powerful hands on his body. He was getting close to cumming.

"Ah, G-Gary, I'm getting close."

"Me too."

"Cum in me again... just like last time!"

Gary thrusted harder and harder, penetrating Ash more and more. The tan boy loved everything about it. He rubbed his cock some more; he shot out long strings of steaming hot, white cum onto the sands of the beach. Gary could not hold himself back anymore. He relinquished his warm seed in Ash's ass once again. Spurt after spurt of Gary's cum filled Ash's asshole until it could not take any more. Strings of the white mess fell from Ash's ass onto the beach. The two exhausted boy collapsed back down onto the warm sand. Both of them stared into the summer sky. They were arm's length from each other.

"Ahhh... I haven't felt like this in a long time," Gary sighed.

"Me neither," retorted Ash, tilting his head to look at Gary's body. His cock was still rock hard.

"Ha, too bad it means nothing," Gary laughed sarcastically; he tilted his head towards Ash. Hearing this hurt Ash. He looked into Gary's eyes. He wanted to try and repair the damage he did almost a year ago.

"Gary, I know I've hurt you, but you still mean everything to me. Despite all the time spent away from you, I still thought about you every night—ha I jerked off to you almost every time I did. Gary, you're still my best friend, hell, you're still my lover even if I'm not the same to you. I love you Gary, and I want you to come with me to Johto so we can be together. Please, Gary, you mean everything to me, and I want you to say yes."

The discourse paused for a few moments. Gary considered the offer.

"It all depends on one thing," Gary said, "will you tell your mom about our relationship?"

The discourse paused again. Gary hoped that Ash had changed on his journey; he hoped that Ash had accepted himself and that he would come out to his mother and tell her about them. He wished that sweet changed had taken over Ash.

"I can't..." confessed Ash.

Gary's hopes were wrong.

Ash had not changed.

"I'm sorry, Ash," started Gary, "but I can't go with you if you can't tell your mom." Gary got up off the sand and started to pick up his clothes. The few fleeting moments that Gary thought Ash had changed disappeared into the wind. Gary had been heartbroken again. Ash sat up.

"Why not Gary?" questioned Ash, a mix of sadness and aggravation in his voice.

"Because Ash," Gary said, looking at Ash directly in the eyes and having a sense of anger in his voice, "our love isn't something that should be closeted, it's beautiful and is something that everyone should see. It's a part of you, and it's a part of me, and if you're not accepting of that part, then you should feel shame on yourself, cause I do. It's who we are and we have every right to show it to the rest of the world that straight people do. Until you understand that I just can't be with you Ash, I'm sorry, from the bottom of my heart."

Gary finished picking up his clothes and started putting them on. Once he was finished he headed back to Palette Town, but before leaving Ash alone he turned around and spoke to Ash.

"You still mean the world to me too," he confessed with a somber tone. He then promptly turned back around and walked away.

Ash laid back down and simply smashed his fists into the sand.

Eventually Ash put his clothes back on and returned back to his house. The next morning, despite the disapproval of his Mother, Ash, Brock and Misty would set out for a new adventure in Johto.
