THE BLUE SPIRIT

CHAPTER 20 – THE MERMAID AND HER MASTER

Ash and Misty had slept in the same bed together, after some passionate kissing; releasing emotions they have had for each other for a long time. But that's all they did, nothing more than kisses passed between them since they didn't want to rush anything. They had cuddled together before falling asleep, the raven haired trainer putting an arm around her, as the red haired gym leader placed her head on his chest and wrapped her arm around his firm stomach. The whole night they slept in that position, not once moving from their original position. They were still asleep when the others woke up. When Brock and Cilan started making breakfast, Leaf opened the door and poked her head in. She saw Ash and Misty snuggled together and went red in the face as she felt something stir inside her but she quickly ignored it. She closed the door and knocked on it loudly.

"Brock and Cilan are making breakfast! Get up!"

Ash and Misty snapped open their eyes suddenly. They remembered everything from last night instantly and yet didn't get embarrassed or move away from each other. They stayed like that for a minute, awake yet enjoying being together.

"Good morning Mist."

Misty glanced up at him and smiled. She kissed him softly.

"Good morning Ash. Did you sleep well?"

"Better than I ever have. You?"

"The same."

They smiled at each other and hugged each other tighter for a moment. Misty then got up, pushing lightly against his stomach to rise and stretched, raising her arms into the air as she arched her back. Ash went red as he could see through her yellow nightgown because it was semi-transparent and of the sun's rays through the window. He formed a devious grin on his face as he got an idea. He gently poked her on her side, knowing her ticklish spot that he found out years ago. She instantly yelped out loud and before he knew what happened, she had moved on top of him, holding his hands above his head.

"Hey," she said softly. "I'm ticklish there."

"I know." He grinned. "Call it pay back for all those times you tickled me."

"Is that so? Should I return the favor?" she moved her free hand to his bare chest, caressing it. He shivered at her light touch. "Somebody likes it," she teased. Ash smiled.

"I know someone who likes it too." Misty tilted her head in confusion and before she could do anything else, he flipped their positions, him holding her hands up and on top of her now. She gasped as she realized what happened but grinned immediately after.

"Nice move there. So what you going to do now Mr. Pokémon Master?" she teased with a sultry voice but also wondering what he wanted to do, making her go crazy inside.

"Mist, you should know better. You know I don't like to spoil my surprises," responded Ash back as he gently used two fingers to go up her side, as if walking. Now it was Misty's turn that shivered.

"Somebody likes it," repeated Ash, teasing her. Misty gave a fake pout and puppy dog eyes. Ash kissed her immediately; unable to control himself after seeing her pleading look and Misty kissed him back. He released her hands and they both moved them up and down on each other as they continued.

"Food's ready!" called out Leaf again as she knocked on the door again, though a little harder this time.

Ash and Misty finished their display of passion with a soft, lingering kiss before they got up and went to the bathroom. Luckily for them, the master bathroom had two sinks, so they both washed up and brushed their teeth. Ash started changing his clothes after walking back into his room. Misty asked if she could borrow some clothes, since she didn't want to leave the room with just her nightgown with everyone awake and outside of their rooms. Ash handed her a pair of sweat pants and matching sweater. They were big on her, but she didn't mind. She tied the sweat pants and the sweater covered her up, which was what she needed.

When fully dressed, they moved towards the door, smiling at each other before holding hands and walking out to join the others on the dinner table. At the sight of the couple, the table cheered and wolf whistled at them. Ash and Misty both blushed before sitting on two empty chairs, which were conveniently next to each other for the new couple. They let go of hands and started grabbing food, offering each other their share before passing it around. They kept this up until they noticed everyone just looking at them.

"Ah, are you guys okay?" asked Ash, scratching the back of his head.

"We're just peachy," answered Leaf, grinning like a mad person as she rested her head on her palm that was held up with her elbow on the table.

"Are you sure?" asked Misty, feeling weird at all the attention.

"Yea, we're just happy for you two," said Gary. "So, did you two do anything naughty last night?"

smirked Gary, raising his eyebrows a few times.

Joy and Sarah coughed, a little embarrassed over the causal talk of something so intimate and the blonde girl becoming a little jealous as well though she hid it. Leaf stared wide eyed at Ash. Dawn, Serena and May glanced at Ash and Misty to check their response, wanting to know if they had become intimate so soon. Surprisingly, Ash and Misty stayed cool and calm.

"Nope, we just went to sleep after we talked for a bit and gave each other a kiss goodnight." Ash answered without any hint of embarrassment whatsoever as he grabbed the salt shaker. He poured some onto his food before placing it in front of Misty for her to use who thanked him.

"I don't buy it. You two did something else I'm sure of it. You're way too calm. Wait, did you use protection?" asked Gary.

Everyone gasped at Gary's lack of etiquette with Iris even smacking him upside the head causing him to yelp in pain. Everyone who knew the two feared the worst, waiting for Ash and Misty to explode. But what followed scared them even more.

"Gary, you know it's rude to talk about stuff like that between other people. But just so you know, we didn't do anything besides what Ash said." Misty explained while continuing what she was doing, without either her or Ash getting embarrassed, angry or their face getting red.

"Okay, now you two are really scaring us," said Brock. "Something's off. You should've been yelling at Gary and you should've mallet him into the ground by now. What really happened?"

Ash got fed up. He placed his knife and fork down and looked at his pseudo brother in the eye.

"Brock, I'm only going to say this one more time. We talked, kissed each other good night and slept. Nothing more. And honestly, even if we did do something more, it's really no one's business but ours. But I will repeat; we did nothing more. So please enough about that and let's move on."

Ash picked up his utensils and went back to eating his food. All the girls, including the hard to impress Leaf and Iris, were awed with his mature response. Brock stared at Ash. He was completely surprised by his adult attitude. He sighed and shook his head. He really has matured, thought Brock.

"Okay, I believe you two. Sorry we got so into it. It's just you two you know?" finished Brock.

"No problem Brocko," replied Ash as he reached for more food.

"No worries," said Misty with a smile.

As the group had their morning meal, they talked and joked with each other. After relaxing for a bit after they ate their food, Leaf spoke up.

"Hey Ash, do you think we could get some extra beds up here?"

"I don't know. You would have to ask Joy. Could we do that Joy?"

"I don't see why not. It may cost a little since it's not part of the usual room though," warned Joy.

"It's alright, I got it covered," reassured Ash. "How many more beds do we need?" he asked the group.

"Well," started Brock. "If Leaf and Sarah stay here, that's one more queen sized bed. If Joy stays with us as well, we would need another. If we could get a third one for Gary and me that would be great. I'm getting kind of tired of the sofa bed."

"You can do bunk beds as well and don't worry about me, I live nearby. Last night was just too late to leave," chimed in Joy.

"Is that so? Even better. I don't like to share my bed," said Max.

"Okay, so who wants their own bed?" asked Ash.

Richie, Max, Brock and Gary raised their hands.

"How about any of you girls? No harm in saying what you want to be more comfortable," asked Ash and Leaf and Sarah raised their hands because even though they felt comfortable around them, they weren't too close with them yet.

"Okay, so three bunk beds it is then. Joy, who do I need to call to have them bring those up?"

"Oh don't worry about it Ash. I'll take care of it for you when I go downstairs for my shift," said Joy, glancing at her watch. "Speaking of which, I should get going. Thanks for letting me spend the night here with you guys and thanks for breakfast. I'll see you guys soon."

Joy got up to leave, saying bye to everyone. Richie got up as well to walk her to the elevator. They hugged and Richie came back in. Misty leaned against Ash, resting her head against his shoulder. Ash glanced at her before smiling and leaning his head on top of hers. Neither of the two was embarrassed over their actions, even though everyone was looking at them with grins on their faces. Sarah thought that now would be a good time to ask.

"Hey Ash?"

"Hmm? Yea Sarah?"

"When do you think we can go over some training stuff? Not that I want to hurry you or anything, but just to get an idea?" Sarah became a little embarrassed asking him but she wanted to know.

"Well, I understand that you're looking forward to it, but not today, most likely tomorrow. I have to take care of some things before my big date with Misty."

Misty turned her head up as she glanced at him, her face filled with curiosity. Ash raised his head as he felt her move and caught her eye.

"Sorry Mist, but I want it to be a surprise."

Misty smiled and kissed him on the cheek before returning to her previous position. Ash placed an arm around her and brought her closer to him. Iris, Sarah and Leaf awed over the duo, with the blonde thinking that Misty was lucky and Leaf was thinking when did Ash become so comfortable around girls. May, Dawn and Serena cooed over their actions. They couldn't wait for their turns, seeing how affectionate Ash was being.

"You're more than welcome to stay around here, since we're getting a bed for you anyway. Where are you staying at by the way?" asked Ash.

"Thank you. Well, I was staying at the lower floors and it was alright, but I don't like to be alone for long periods of time, even though I usually do travel alone. I know you said I could stay, but can it be for a more permanent basis? Until we go our separate ways after the tournament ends of course."

Ash smiled before answering her making Sarah blush.

"Sarah, we have no problem with you staying here. You can join us after the tournament, or go back home. Either way is fine with us. But you should know, once you become a friend in our circle, in this particular group, we're friends for life, so you can always count on having a family here with us."

Sarah came close to tears escaping from her eyes. Nobody had been so nice and welcoming to her before. She hurriedly dried her eyes with her hands.

"Thanks Ash. You and your friends are very good people."

"You're welcome. And as a bubbly person I know always says, 'No need to worry'. Right Dawn?" teased Ash. Dawn stuck her tongue out him playfully and they laughed a bit at that.

"You know Sarah, if it wasn't for Ash, none of us would be friends. This group wouldn't have existed at all," revealed Misty and Ash scratched the back of his head embarrassed.

"What do you mean?" asked Sarah, curious and even Leaf paid attention, wanting to know as well.

"Ash traveled all over the world and made friends with everyone here and some others who don't really leave their homes much anymore and others who couldn't make it here, like our two friends Clemont and Bonnie. He's the one who introduced us to each other and would constantly keep in touch with everyone until he had to go away on a trip for a few years recently. So in short, because of Ash being Ash, he kept us all together. He's kind of like the glue that keeps us stuck with one another, through better or worse," finished Misty, lightly chuckling.

Sarah and Leaf were both surprised finding out that Ash was responsible for bringing such well people together. Ash poked her ticklish spot on her side, causing her to yelp. Everyone laughed, while Misty flicked his nose, making Ash cover the hit area with his hand, a mock hurt expression on his face.

"Nice try Ketchum."

Misty saw through his ploy and laughed, while Ash puffed out his cheeks. The group then got up, each one doing their own thing. Ash mentioned he wanted to check when his next match was and wanted to go downstairs but Richie told him he needed to check too and that he'd go for both of them. Ash understood his hidden intent so he agreed to let him go alone instead. Ash went to his room, to give Pikachu some breakfast, but saw he was still sound asleep. He chuckled, leaving the food next to him and returned to the living room. As he looked around he noticed Misty was in the balcony alone, leaning against the railing. He went to join her.

"Hey Mist."

Misty turned her head a little and waved her hand slightly to acknowledge him and turned back to facing the beautiful morning view in front of them. Ash slipped his hands around her waist and hugged her close to him, causing Misty to give a slight yelp since she wasn't expecting it but quickly relaxed. Ash rested his head on her left shoulder and Misty let out a content hum as the two shared a short kiss before she faced the horizon again. She placed her hands over his hands that were around her waist and leaned back against his strong and lean body, gaining warmth and comfort from it.

"Is everything alright Misty?" he asked softly. Misty turned her head to look him in the eye. She smiled.

"Yes. Everything is great. I just feel so happy I can't explain it. I just feel that what's going on right now is so right, you know?" said Misty and Ash smiled

"Me too Mist. Me too."

He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. He stopped shortly after and made to pull away so it wouldn't be too much, but Misty lunged her face forward, wanting more. Their kiss soon engulfed them again, with Misty turning her body to face Ash while his hands went around her back and Misty's went around his neck. They pushed up against each other's bodies as their kiss took them to another world, not realizing they had spectators until they stopped to get some air with their foreheads touching when they opened their eyes.

They noticed the figures from the corner of their eyes and glanced towards them. Everyone, including Richie who had somehow came back already, was staring at them. The guys had wide grins on their faces, while the girls had their hands clasped together and looking as if they saw the most romantic thing in the world. Misty and Ash blushed slightly but didn't let their audience faze them.

"You guys have something to say?" asked Ash.

"Well, I do have something to tell you Ash," replied Richie.

"Okay. Anyone else? No? Then scatter before I call Charizard on you." They left quickly indeed, not wanting to see if Ash was bluffing, not when it came to Charizard.

"That was mean Ash," said Misty, with a slight frown, trying to hold her giggles.

"Riiight…I know you're holding in your laughter." He poked her in her ticklish spot again and she burst out laughing.

"No fair!" pouted Misty. Ash merely grinned as she playfully hit him in the chest.

"What's up Richie?" asked Ash, turning his head to look at his friend.

"Well you're match is tomorrow, 2pm, against Russell Diamond."

"Cool thanks buddy. Anything else?"

"Nope that's it. Enjoy your time together you two." Richie turned to leave when Ash asked him a question.

"Do you like Joy?" Richie stumbled at the blunt question and looked at him for a moment.

"Yea I do," replied Richie, blushing and Ash smiled.

"Then don't do what I did, waiting, being scared, not acting on it. Ask her out. Ask her out tonight even. Don't make mistakes like I did. You may never get a second chance," advised Ash.

"You did," shot Richie and Ash looked at Misty, losing himself in her cerulean blue eyes for a moment.

"Yes I did," answered Ash softly. "But I got lucky. Don't take that chance." He looked at Richie. "You may never get it. I don't know how I did, but I know I'm going to be thankful for it for the rest of my life. Trust me Richie. Don't pass it up. You might be afraid but take the chance." He grasped Misty's hands and held them up, looking into her eyes. "Because nothing else comes close."

Misty was overcome by his words, her eyes shining at him. She quickly hugged him, holding him close to her, as if he would vanish if let go. She sobbed quietly, shaking slightly in the raven haired trainer's arms.

I love you Ash. Please don't ever disappear on me again. Those two thoughts floated around her mind over and over as she hugged the love of her life tighter.

Richie was stunned at his words. Everyone thought he was a dense kid when it came to love and girls yet here he was, giving advice as if he had knowledge that nobody else had. He saw the way Misty looked into his eyes when he said those words and her eyes was filled with such emotion that he couldn't believe it.

Richie right then and there knew that Misty and Ash loved each other and cared for each other for a long time and he also realized that nothing could ever separate them. He wanted that as well, he wanted that with Joy and he knew now that it was worth it, the risk of putting himself out there.

"Thanks Ash. You're right." Richie left and headed downstairs, fully intending to carry out his thought of asking Joy out on a date.

"You think they'll get together?" asked Misty after calming down.

"I know they will. They like each other and they bonded well already in a short amount of time. It's only a matter of time."

"Did you really mean those words?" asked Misty unexpectedly, making Ash stare at her, awestruck.

"Of course Mist. I wouldn't lie about something like that."

Misty hugged him again and Ash hugged her, resting his cheek against the top of her head. They stayed like that for a few moments until Ash dropped his arms and took a step back. He used his hand to gently raise Misty's face to look at him. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she wasn't crying.

"Hey, I'm going to have to go take care of some stuff okay? I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay. Just be safe alright? And…please don't disappear again."

Ash promised he wouldn't do such a thing again as he hugged her tightly. He then kissed her gently on her lips before he placed his hat on her head again and she smiled at his action. He told her to let Pikachu know what's going on when he wakes up and that he would protect her while he was gone. Ash then tossed out a poke ball into the air.

"PIDJOT!" The large falcon pokémon cried out. Ash climbed onto her back as she hovered next to him.

"I'll be back soon as I can Mist. Let's go Pidgeot!"

"PID!" Pidgeot flapped her mighty wings and they speed away. Misty watched them leave until they became a speck in the distance, which didn't take too long since Pidgeot was extremely fast.

Be careful Ash and Arceus watch over him.

She headed back inside after thinking that prayer, seeing everyone in the living room, who asked her where's Ash when they noticed he wasn't around. She told them that he flew off on Pidgeot to take care of his errands and went to her room to change into her own clothes. After she changed, she started folding Ash's clothes that she borrowed from him when the door opened and six girls stepped inside.

"So, how did it really go?" asked Dawn with hardly contained enthusiasm.

"Well we didn't do anything 'R' rated if that's what you really want to know," answered Misty.

"Oh come on, there's more to it than that!" cried out May as she snatched the hat off her head and put it on her own head with a smirk. Misty tried to grab it back but May tossed it to Dawn, who tossed it to Serena, who tossed it back to May hurriedly but Misty was able to snatch it out of the air. She placed it on her own head again and pulled out her mallet, warning them all what would come to them if they tried to get the hat again.

"Don't be such a kid and tell us what happened between you two last night!" demanded Iris.

"Look who's acting like a kid, trying to find out about another's intimate experience," shot Misty.

"Ah ha! So you did do something!" yelled Iris, catching her slip but Misty tried to deny it.

"Wait didn't you say nothing serious happened? So why would you say intimate?" asked Leaf, making Misty blush furiously.

She was extremely curious in what Ash and these four girls were doing. She wanted to see what made Ash so special and why these four were so in love with him. She was impressed by how much Ash had matured and grown but still couldn't figure out why these four girls loved him so much. Sarah wanted to know as well because since the first minute she met Ash, she felt something inside that she never felt before but she didn't feel that she belonged in the group. She was about to leave the room when Leaf grabbed her and brought her back in.

"You're part of the group now as am I so no point delaying the inevitable group therapy Q and A experiences." The girls laughed at Leaf's description of their talk. "So, explain Misty."

Misty looked at them and saw they were adamant about it and sighed heavily.

"Alright, I'll tell you what happened. But this stays here! Or I will mallet you into the ground and then feed you to my Gyarados. Understood?"

The girls nodded and Misty explained everything that happened between her and Ash last night and in the morning. The girls stayed remarkably quiet during the entire time Misty talked. When she finished explaining what happened the girls were quiet for a moment.

"He called you his Mystic Mermaid?" asked May. Misty blushed as she nodded.

"Wow," whispered Dawn. "And when you were talking about you two making out like that, it made my heart race! How come you two didn't go all the way?"

"Dawn!" Misty was shocked but quickly calmed down. The other girls were giving her their utmost attention, wanting to know why. "I don't know about that right now. Would it be alright to go all the way so fast? I know I love him more than anything but I don't want things to go too fast you know? And what about you guys? Would you get upset?" asked Misty, looking at May, Dawn and Serena.

"Hey, you have to remember what we decided, remember the rules. We won't get angry or jealous. If you feel its right and want to go for it and so does he, then you should experience your full love for each other. That's the only way you'll know for sure if this is what you want," answered May.

"Makes sense. Alright, thanks May." Misty smiled at her. May, Dawn and Serena smiled back at her, while Sarah and Leaf were beyond confused but before either of them could ask a question, Serena spoke.

"I knew Ash was kind and caring, but to use words with such emotion tied to them, I think I would've fainted if I heard him say that," remarked Serena with a dreamy look on her face.

"I almost did," admitted Misty. "I practically melted into his arms when he spoke like that to me."

"Not such a scrawny, clueless boy anymore is he Misty?" joked Leaf. They giggled except for Sarah, who had a look of confusion on her.

"Ash was scrawny and clueless? No way!"

"Yes way Sarah," said Iris. "He used to be such a kid. Still is actually in some regards." Misty smacked her upside the head. "Ow!"

"The Ash you know now is pretty much the same as Ash was years ago, except now he's more mature, has gained muscles, but not too much which is good and is practically a battling genius. If there's one thing that hasn't changed, it's his protective and caring nature and his insatiable hunger for pokémon battles…and food though May is a close second on that regard," explained Misty before they laughed about the food comment and May went red.

"Sounds like the perfect guy. Where did he go now?" asked Sarah as she finished laughing, thinking about how incredible Ash is.

"He is perfect, even with flaws. He went to take care of some things while flying on his Pidgeot. He said he'll be back soon as he can." Misty explained as she sat down on her bed and started to think about what kind of date Ash was trying to set up for them.

"Misty?"

"Yea Leaf?"

"What's really going on between you, Serena, Dawn, May and Ash?"

The four girls glanced at each other while Iris grinned. Misty sighed and looked at Sarah and Leaf.

"Alright, we'll tell you two everything but this stays with us, alright?"

The four girls began explaining everything to Leaf and Sarah from the very beginning. The two girls were silent as they listened to the red head and once they were up to speed they understood. As they continued to talk about that and other topics, Leaf and Sarah both ended up thinking about what they just learned about Ash. While the girls conversed in the room, the guys, except for Richie and Ash, were in the living room watching a comedy series about four friends pulling pranks on one another.

"Does anyone know where Richie went?" asked Max after realizing that another one from their group was missing.

"Probably downstairs trying to hook up with Joy," said Gary. "Speaking of hooking up, I'm surprised Brock that you haven't made a single flirting act with any of the new girls in our group. We're going to keep bringing this up until you fess up or…wait…do you have a girlfriend?"

Max and Cilan glanced at Brock as he slowly turned red. He then sighed and answered Gary.

"No point in hiding it I guess. I won't say much yet, since it's still so new for us both, but I've met an incredible girl. I'll just leave it at that. She said she might come visit while we're here and if she does, then I'll let you guys know okay?"

The guys agreed to keep quiet for the time being. Richie entered the suite at that moment with a dazed expression and sat down on the couch next to Brock.

"What's up Richie?" asked Gary.

"I just asked out Joy and she agreed. We're going out tonight."

Before anyone could say anything, the girls came back into the living room and what they saw in front of them made them stop in their tracks with stunned looks on their faces. Richie had a dazed expression on his face, Gary had his eyes widened, Max and Brock had their jaws dropped and Cilan was sitting with his leg crossed over his other leg with his hands on his knee, his eyebrows raised. They were all looking at Richie. It was a very peculiar sight for the girls.

"Ah, what's going on here? Why are all of you staring at Richie?" asked Iris.

"Because he just told us that he asked out Joy and now he can't believe what he did!" shouted Max, pointing at the quickly reddening Richie. May strode over and smacked her brother against his head, causing him to yelp at the hit.

"Max! Grow up!"

"Is that true Richie?" asked Misty. Richie confirmed it quietly and got up to go to the balcony to be alone for a bit. Misty smiled as she thought that Ash was right in that the two would get together.

"So that's another couple in the works. I wonder when my turn will be?" said Gary out loud. The others looked at him with amused looks on their faces. "Shit, did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, you did Gary," laughed Cilan and the rest joined in. "But you know, it is a bit surprising that some from our group are finding love here at this tournament. It is a very warming flavor indeed."

"You know, I have to agree with you on that one Cilan," said Iris. Cilan looked at his girlfriend in surprise but quickly hugged her after they shared a short kiss.

A loud beep went through the room suddenly. Misty had received a message from Ash on her Poketch. They had programmed each other's numbers onto their Poketch a while ago and so had everybody else. She read it out loud to everyone.

"Will take longer than I thought. Be ready at 6pm. See you then." She finished reading. She quickly became excited and anxious. She looked at the time and found it was only 11am. "Damn, I have to wait seven hours?!" Misty whined as her shoulders sagged.

"Well you know what that means don't ya Misty?" asked Dawn, her face positively beaming. Misty tilted her head at her. Dawn and May exchanged happy looks before they turned back to their friend.

"Shopping time!" shouted the two. That perked up Misty greatly. All the girls decided to go shopping together and help her pick out a dress. Pikachu walked into the living room at that moment, having had woken up a short while ago, ate his breakfast and wanted to know what the others were up to.

"Pikapi?" He was looking for Ash but instead saw Misty and moved towards her. "Pikachupi!" Misty picked up the yellow mouse and Pikachu nuzzled against her cheek.

"Hey Pikachu. Ash went away to take care of some stuff. Want to come with me to help me pick out a dress for my date with him tonight?" asked Misty.

"Pika!" agreed the mouse, climbing onto her shoulder and pumping a fist out. Everyone laughed at his antics. The girls soon got ready and left, leaving the guys alone in the room. The guys spent their time playing games, watching TV and pulling pranks on each other while they stayed in the hotel room.

The hotel workers came in around 1pm and brought up the bunk beds they had wanted. They removed the queen sized bed Richie and Max were sharing and set up two bunk beds in that room instead. They set up the third bunk bed in Dawn and Serena's room next to the queen bed. After they were done, they had held up a bill showing the cost of the labor and beds. Brock scanned it and looked worried. It was pretty expensive. Unable to do anything else, he signed it and they left.

It was around 4pm when the girls came back, each one holding several bags, looking a little tired but pleased. Pikachu dropped down from Misty's shoulder to the nearest couch, exhausted, acting out dramatically as if he had just survived a terrible battle.

"You are so much like Ash," teased May. Laughter burst out from the shoppers as they disappeared into Misty's room to help her get prepared for the night. Pikachu curled up on the couch and fell asleep instantly. It was 5:50pm when May and Sarah came out of the room looking tired but pleased.

"Where's Ash? He's not back yet?" asked Sarah. The guys shook their head in response.

"If he doesn't show, I'm going to beat him into a pulp for getting Misty all excited for nothing!" threatened May, pounding her fist into her open hand, making Sarah look at her surprised.

The guys sweat dropped. They didn't want to see May get angry, as it took a lot for her to lose her cool these days but when that happened, she was like a volcano, almost impossible to stop once she gets angered. A blue sphere suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the living room, making them yelp and jump. Half a second later, Ash appeared as the blue sphere faded away. He shook himself slightly after appearing.

"I'll never get used to teleporting. Always an interesting experience. Oh, hey guys." The group was just staring at him and he scratched the back of his head. "Is everything alright?"

"Ash, you look handsome!" complimented May, making Ash blush. He was wearing a black tuxedo jacket, a yellow button down shirt with a black tie, black dress pants and black dress shoes.

"Thanks May. The only thing I couldn't fix is my hair. It's more stubborn than my Tauros," joked Ash, earning laughs from them.

Sarah couldn't take her eyes off of him. She had let out a gasp when he appeared and was now stunned at how great he looked. May noticed and waved her hand in front of her face, getting Sarah to regain her senses and blushed, quickly looking down at her feet, not wanting to make her angry. May nudged her lightly and smiled when Sarah glanced at her, telling her it was okay and that she understood. Sarah sighed before smiling back, happy that she wasn't angered. Dawn, Serena and Leaf joined them and were about to say something together when they stopped, noticing Ash there all dressed up. Leaf was absolutely stunned for a moment.

"Wow. Somebody cleans up pretty well." Leaf said after recovering, adding a wolf whistle at Ash after speaking, causing the raven haired trainer to blush and rub the back of his head.

"Leave him alone Leaf. But you do look handsome Ash," said Serena sweetly. Dawn wiped her mouth and cleared her throat after drooling at the sight of Ash for a few seconds.

"Ah hem. Introducing the red headed mermaid…"

"The powerful water pokémon trainer from Cerulean Gym…" continued Serena.

"The most beautiful Sensational Sister of them all…" added May.

"The one of a kind, Misty Waterflower!" finished the three together.

Misty stepped out of her room and walked gracefully forward, eyes staring straight ahead of her. She was wearing a sparkling yellow dress that hugged her athletic body tightly, showing off her toned yet curvy figure, held up by two yellow straps that went over her shoulders, showing just enough cleavage to tease and the dress went down to a few inches above her knees, with slight cuts on both sides of the dress, to enable her to walk more comfortably. She also had on a thin transparent long sleeved yellow jacket along with the red butterfly hair pin in her hair. She and Ash reddened at the sight of each other, both thinking the same thing; Damn, he/she looks amazing! They hugged each other and then Misty asked Ash a question.

"So where are we going?"

"You'll see soon enough Mist. Don't wait up for us guys," he told the others.

"Remember to use protection!" quipped Gary, instantly earning himself a double smack upside his head from Leaf and May, and he yelped in pain as a result.

"Quiet Gare-bear!" said the two brunettes at once. They all laughed at Gary as Ash held out his arm and Misty slipped her arm around his.

"See you guys later! Misty, we're going to teleport okay?" Misty tilted her head. "I promise I'll explain it later." Misty nodded and the two disappeared in a flash of blue.

"Damn, who would've thought Ashy-boy would be so smooth with the ladies," said Gary.

"You're telling me. I remember when we were kids he was too shy to even talk to girls. Though when there was trouble, you could always count on Ash," reminisced Leaf.

"I find that hard to believe Ash was too shy but the helping out I do believe," remarked Sarah. She couldn't believe that the handsome, suave and caring Ash was ever shy.

"You'd be surprised Sarah. I got some stories for you," replied Leaf. She motioned the girls to go with her to their room so they could talk and the guys decided to just watch some TV.

Far away from the Indigo Plateau Hotel, a blue sphere glowed on top of a cliff. Ash and Misty appeared out of thin air a second later, standing near the edge of the cliff, with a large lighthouse behind them. There was a candlelit table for two set up in front of them. The food was covered and drinks were in an ice chest on the ground next to the table. Misty looked around, her eyes widening as she took in where they teleported to.

"Realize where this place is Mist?" asked Ash softly with a smile.

"Yes, I do." Misty looked into his eyes. "It's Cerulean Cape."

"Yup. I thought long and hard to think of the best place for our first official date. I remembered you saying that it was your dream to come here for your first date right?"

"Ash, I can't believe you remembered that. You're so sweet."

Ash smiled and gestured towards the dinner table. He pulled out her chair for her and then sat in front of her. He opened a bottle of wine and poured some into Misty's cup and then his. He also poured out some soda into another cup for both of them. He picked up his wine glass, holding it up slightly, Misty copying him.

"To the start of something wonderful," toasted Ash.

"And let it stay wonderful," finished Misty.

He and Misty touched glasses and drank a little and put their glasses down. Ash opened the covered food. It was all of Misty's favorite dishes. They ate a little more than talking to each other at first, since they were both so hungry. However, they soon were having very deep conversations about their goals and dreams, want they wanted to do in the future and much more as they cleared the table of food, the only thing remaining at the end was a loaf of bread. The relaxed for a bit while talking softly, letting the food settle in their stomachs. The sun was now beginning to set on them, since during this time of year, the days were longer. Ash got up and held his hand out to Misty.

"Would you please come with me Mist?"

Misty smiled and grasped his hand while standing up.

"Of course I will."

Ash led her towards the edge of the cliff and tossed out a poke ball. Charizard appeared and Ash called him down and he helped Misty got on Charizard's back before climbing up himself behind her.

"Charizard, you know what to do."

Charizard flew up for a bit and then slowly glided down away from the cliff, towards the beach, allowing them time to view the ocean spreading out towards the horizon. The sun's rays were reflecting off the surface of the blue water, causing it to sparkle. Misty commented on how it looked so beautiful from the air with Ash agreeing and glad that she enjoyed the view.

Charizard landed at a secluded area, slightly above where the water and sand met, where there was single bench at the edge of the raised area. Ash thanked Charizard and returned him before he led Misty to the bench for them to sit on. The bench was covered with a thick, yet soft blanket, letting them sit comfortably. They watched the sun set behind the vast ocean in the distance.

As they watched the sunset, Misty leaned against Ash's shoulder and snuggled up against him, wrapping her arm around his front. Ash placed an arm around her as he drew her in closer. They sat like that for a few minutes in silence, enjoying the beautiful view.

"A beautiful view for a beautiful girl. I hope you like it so far Mist."

"It's perfect Ash. Thank you." She glanced up at him, their eyes gazing into each other. They leaned in and kissed as the sun completely went down.

"But what did you mean so far?" asked Misty when they broke apart.

"I have another surprise for you Mist. Looks like now would be the perfect time since the sun's gone down. You ready for a little walk?" Misty smiled as she said yes.

The couple got up and walked away from the bench, Ash leading the way while holding hands. They ended up walking on the beach. After Misty struggled a bit because of the sand and her high heels, she took them off, deciding to walk barefoot in the sand. Ash copied her, taking of his shoes and socks. They walked barefoot in the sand, feeling the warmth still there in the ground. After a few minutes of walking down the beach, hands held and just enjoying the walk together, they reached the edge of the beach.

Ash pointed out that they needed to go to the other side and picked her up bridal style so she wouldn't step on any sharp rocks. He carefully walked around the narrow edge, stepping over the sharp rocks amongst the sand. His aura senses were really helpful. As they rounded the corner and Ash finally put Misty down gently, the red head gasped.

Ash had led her to very private place on the beach. It was a cozy area, with the cliff hugging three sides around the shore. There was a fire going in a fire pit dug into the ground and a huge log was behind it several feet away, with a large blanket in the middle of the fire and log, perfect to sit on or lean against.

"Did you do all this? Is that why you took so long getting back?" asked Misty softly as she looked at him.

"Looks like the jig is up," chuckled Ash. Misty smiled and hugged him. They walked to the fire pit and sat down next to each other on the blanket, leaning against the log. As they enjoyed the private area, Misty became lost in thought.

I can't believe how romantic he's being. Not even in my dreams did he act this adoringly.

"Mist?" asked Ash, getting her out of her thoughts.

"Yes?"

"The stars."

Misty raised her head to gaze up into space, noticing the many bright white lights dotted around the night sky. The flames had weakened slightly in the fire pit.

"So beautiful. I don't see things like this anymore. Oh look! Shooting star!" pointed out Misty excitedly. They both saw it fly across the night sky. "We should make a wish!"

"Let's Mist."

They both closed their eyes and made their wishes in their heads, both finishing at the same time, opening their eyes. The sat there quietly for a few minutes again. They were glad that they were the kinds of people who didn't have to talk constantly or do something all the time. They could just enjoy each other's company in silence. The fire died down even more and Misty shivered a bit. Ash took off his jacket and placed it on top of her shoulders as well as pulling out his socks from before and placed them on her bare feet. When he finished he sat back down next to her and drew her closer to him, placing both his arms around her, warming her.

"You're so thoughtful and caring Ash. That's one of the many reasons why I love you."

Ash was stunned and Misty was shocked at herself for saying that out loud. It was the first time she said that she loves Ash to him. Ash looked at her but she continued staring straight ahead into the distance, hoping that she didn't freak him out.

"I love you too Mist."

Misty snapped her face towards his, not believing what he just said.

"What did you say Ash?" whispered Misty, her heart beating like mad inside her. Ash looked directly into her eyes.

"I said I love you too Mist." Misty's heart felt like it was going to pop out of her chest. Her eyes sparkled as her emotions over took her.

They leaned in and kissed with pure love, a spark that ignited them. Their emotions soon took control and they were locked in a heated embrace, not wanting to let the other go, their hands going through their hair then rubbing against their bodies. Misty moaned a bit whenever Ash ran his hand through her red hair, while Ash let out one of his own whenever she would rub his chest over his shirt with her free hand. Both of them were in heaven and didn't want that feeling to ever stop. Their feelings for each other were too great and were lost in a whirlwind of intense desire.

Ash groaned as Misty pushed him onto the ground, moving on top of him while still locking lips. Soon their tongues found each other's and began exploring their love's mouths and lips, taking turns as they learned from this new experience. Whenever one of them would have their tongue pushed back they would let out a soft groan but were quickly silenced as the other's tongue entered their mouth. After several passionate minutes, the couple stopped, breathing hard, their hot breaths hitting their faces as their foreheads were touching, their eyes still closed. After a moment of cooling down, Ash and Misty opened their eyes, staying in their position, with the red head on top of the raven haired trainer.

"I love you Ash," spoke Misty finally. "I love you. I always have and always will. I've wanted to tell you that for so long. You are the only one for me, now and forever. I don't care if you pick me or not, or if I share you with the other girls, but I will never love anyone else. I can't imagine my life without you or with anyone else and I will never even try."

Thick fat tears began pouring down from her wet eyes as she revealed her love and fear. Ash was startled by her sudden speech and honesty. He knew before that he couldn't live without her but he still couldn't choose her only over the other girls. At least not yet, without giving the other girls a shot to see if what they had was special as well. He felt like a total asshole, selfish, greedy and stupid. He reached up with his hand and gently wiped away her tears before he replied.

"Mist…my Mystic Mermaid. I love you more than I can even describe. I can't imagine my life without you either. You helped me become the man I am today. I appreciate you telling me this and I hope that I am every bit the man that you deserve, now and in the future."

Misty formed a smile at him through her tears as she listened to his words.

"But I cannot lie to you and I never will. I cannot deny that I also have feelings for the other three. I'm terribly sorry for putting you through such an ordeal. I feel like the biggest jerk in the whole world and I probably deserve to feel that way for what I put you and them through. I didn't think it would be so hard to do this but now I know better. I'm sorry for everything Mist, absolutely everything. But I do love you, with all my heart and I could never hurt you nor forget about you. You will always be in my heart as I will never stop loving you. And I promise, on my life, that I will find a way to make everything right for all of us."

Misty listened patiently to his speech and let the words wash over her. She felt a little bad for causing him so much worry but she felt he needed to know and he thanked her for that so she quickly got over it. She understood everything he said and was surprised that she wasn't feeling anger or disappointment at him. She actually felt content and proud that he was communicating with her and owning up to everything like a true man.

The fact that he revealed that he loved her beyond measure was another thing. It didn't matter to her that he shared his love with three other girls. It was like him caring for his pokémon; he had so many yet took care of each of them and loved them equally and not one of them was jealous or envious. Of course they were humans not pokémon, but Ash was special and she knew that if anyone could pull it off, it would be him.

"Ash, thank you for understanding me and for telling me how you feel. No matter what happens I know we can be truthful to each other, at least about our feelings. I know you can't tell me some things yet, such as the mission, but I know you will tell me when you're ready. Thank you for sharing your feelings with me, for realizing how I'm feeling and for owning up to everything."

They leaned in and kissed again before separating shortly after and they hugged each other tightly as they laid on the ground.

"I have one last surprise for you Mist," said Ash as they stopped and sat back up after a couple minutes. He brought out his hand and a blue glow shined before a poke ball appeared after a second. He opened it and a small rectangular box appeared on the ground in front of them in a flash of light. Ash picked it up and glanced at Misty, her eyes wide. Ash chuckled.

"How did you do that?" she asked.

"Remember when I 'caught' a donut? Well I thought if that could work, maybe this will and apparently it does. Good thing it doesn't work on humans though huh?" joked Ash as Misty elbowed him lightly.

"Very funny Ketchum."

They laughed a bit before Ash held out the box to Misty.

"I hope you like it Mist."

Misty took the box and opened it. She gasped as she saw what was inside. It was a white gold necklace with a circular pendant, with a blue diamond in the middle of the pendant, shaped like a water drop. She took it out and held it in her hands. She turned it around and saw an engraving with small letters on the back which said;

FOR MY MYSTIC MERMAID

MISTY WATERFLOWER

Misty stared at it for a good minute as Ash kept silent and waited for her response. He knew that he had to let her make the first move after such a moment. His mom had taught him that a long time ago. He made a mental note to thank her for that. She looked up at him; eyes filled with tears and hugged him.

"I don't like, I love it! Thank you! But how did you afford this?"

"I'm glad you approve Mist. And I never really spent my money from all the winnings I got from placing so highly in the past leagues so I can manage," said Ash softly as he hugged her back.

"Alright. Can you put it on for me?"

Ash took the necklace and opened it while Misty moved her long red hair to the side. He placed the necklace over her chest with one hand, bringing his other hand around from the side to take one of the necklace's ends. He pulled the necklace up enough so he can lock the ends together. Once finished, he gently lowered the now locked necklace and tenderly moved Misty's hair back behind her.

"How does it look?" asked Misty.

"It looks beautiful, only because it's on you."

"You're so sweet." They kissed again as a gust of wind rushed past them, causing Misty to shiver, even when Ash placed his jacket around her again. The fire was out and the only light was from the stars over head. Ash glanced at his Poketch. It was 11pm. He didn't realize how fast time had passed.

"Should we call it a night Mist? I have no other plans unless you would like to do something else?"

"No, I feel anything else will just cheapen the night. I think we should end it perfectly."

"As you wish Mist." Ash stood up and quickly helped Misty up as well and held her close as he sent a mental message; time for us to go back buddy. "Get ready to teleport again Mist."

A second later they vanished from their spot in a blue glow. They reappeared in the living room, alone. They were surprised that everyone had gone to sleep already. Misty leaned against Ash as she was a little tired, which he noticed and quickly picked her up bridal style.

"Ooh!" exclaimed Misty before quieting, not wanting to wake up the others. Ash neared her bedroom but Misty shook her head.

"No. I want to sleep with you again," she said, her cerulean blue eyes looking at him.

"As you wish Mist," smiled Ash.

He changed directions to head to his room now and opened the door. He saw Pikachu wasn't in the room, figuring he was asleep in one of the other rooms. After he stepped inside he closed it and gently lowered Misty onto her feet as he grabbed the bed's blankets and pulled them down. Misty took off his jacket that was still on her, as well as her own. Ash took out an extra pair of pajamas and handed them to her. She thanked him and went into the bathroom to change while Ash changed in the bedroom.

She came out wearing one of Ash's shorts, which was tied up to keep from falling off of her and one of his white short sleeved shirt. Since it was a white shirt, her bright yellow bra was visible from underneath, though she didn't mind. She had taken the necklace off and placed it on the dresser next to the bed so it wouldn't bother her as she slept. Ash was wearing only sweats again, his bare chest showing. They headed into the bathroom, washed up and brushed their teeth. When they finished and walked out of the bathroom, with Misty walking in front of Ash, he poked her ticklish spot again, causing her to yelp and spin around. She jumped at Ash who caught her, surprising her. They both laughed a bit before they stared into each other's eyes and then followed it up with a kiss.

Ash carried her to the bed as they kissed and gently lowered her onto it. This time he was on top of her, lips still locked and their tongues soon entered the fray. They moaned whenever one of them took a break to get some air and when it felt too long they whimpered lightly. One of Misty's hands was on his chest and one of Ash's hands was on her side, the other two hands in their lovers' hair. This went on for quite some time and right when it almost became too intense to just be kissing, they stopped, breaking apart while moaning, wanting to continue but didn't want to make the other one uncomfortable as they just realized where their hands had gone.

Misty's hand had ended up right at the top of his sweats and Ash's hand was underneath the white shirt, on her side, near her breasts. They both opened their eyes and looked into one another's, both seeking permission and if either of them was hesitant.

"Ash, are you okay?" asked Misty softly and he smiled.

"I was about to ask you the same question," he replied back, making her smile. "I don't ever want to make you feel uncomfortable Mist or have you do something that you don't want to do. I don't ever want you to feel pressured to do something and just so you know, this is a bit fast for me too as I've never done anything like this. I do love you and will do anything to make you happy."

"You care so much," said Misty, as she cupped his cheek with her right hand. "This may be a little fast, but I want this. I love you and feel the most comfortable and happy when I'm with you. But I don't want you to feel bad or awkward either."

Ash smiled at her before he grasped her hand on his cheek and moved it slowly to his lips before he kissed her hand. Misty smiled at his action and raised her head to lean in closer to his lips and they kissed again. She sat up slowly as they continued to kiss and then pushed Ash down, who dropped onto his back slowly on the bed. Ash reddened and went wide eyed when he watched Misty smile at him before she stood up and took off the white shirt, revealing her bright yellow bra holding her breasts and toned body. She was a little embarrassed, pink in the face but kept going as she reached behind her back to undue her bra but before she could finish, Ash stopped her.

"Misty, are you sure you want this?" he asked, making sure.

"Yes, I do Ash. Do you?" she asked him.

"I do. But I don't have a condom or anything…" admitted Ash. Misty was surprised he said it with a straight face. She giggled.

"It's okay. I'm on the pill. Plus, I want our first time to actually feel one another," she admitted.

They both smiled through their blushes and Misty continued unclipping her bra and then slowly pulled the yellow bra off of her, revealing her breasts, which were perfectly sized and perky with pink nipples. Next, she loosened the shorts on her and let them drop down to her feet. Her yellow panties were now visible, hugging her firm round butt on top of her slender legs. Misty went crimson as Ash stared, amazed at what he was witnessing.

"Wow," muttered Ash and Misty heard him, making her smile sheepishly.

"Your turn," said Misty turning red.

Ash smiled and pulled off his pants, revealing his boxers and a bulge underneath them. Now it was his turn to turn crimson. Misty smiled as she kneeled down next to him and then moved one leg over his waist before leaning over his body with her own. She leaned in to his face and they both kissed again, her breasts rubbing against his bare chest. They both loved the feeling of their warm bodies making contact with each other like that. Ash moved his hands around her back as they kissed. When their tongues entered the picture, he moved one of his hands to her breasts and grabbed one. Misty let out a squeak as he did so before continuing on with the kissing.

With Misty not rejecting the move, Ash grew bolder and began to play with her breast, squeezing it and moving it around but he did so gently. He soon brought his other hand into the mix and now was playing with both of her tits as they continued to kiss. He loved the feeling of her soft yet perky breasts in his hands. Misty loved the feeling of his hands on her chest too as it felt great, especially when he would touch her nipples but she didn't want to leave him feeling left out. She reached back with one of her hands and moved it underneath his boxers and grasped his semi erect manhood.

Ash let out a sharp hiss as she gripped his shaft and when she started to stroke it slowly he felt himself heating up and groaned. They both moaned loudly into their kissing as they continued what they were doing. Soon, Ash's shaft was rock hard and Misty was wet around her womanhood. They both didn't know if they could hold back anymore as they were both inflamed, their hormones taking over. Ash couldn't bear it so he grabbed Misty around her waist and flipped their positions, having her lying down on her back on the bed, getting on top of her and kissed her. As they kissed, both of them struggled a bit to remove their last bit of clothing for a second but soon his boxers and her panties were thrown to the floor and they separated.

They viewed each other's fully naked bodies now. Ash knew Misty was beautiful even when they were younger but now she had blossomed into a woman that words couldn't describe, as her body was curvy yet toned and her breasts and butt were firm yet also soft and perfectly round. He admired her flawless and proportionate body as he looked over her and Misty did the same to him. She admired Ash's body as he was no longer scrawny and short but now tall, lean and muscular but not overly so. She feasted on the sight of him before looking down and eyed his manhood which was fully erect, seeing that he was well endowed before looking up again.

"You are so beautiful Misty," said Ash making Misty blush madly at his compliment.

"You're very handsome Ash," replied Misty, making Ash go red.

Misty gestured for Ash to come to her with her index finger and Ash smiled before closing the distance between the two, leaning in towards her face and the two kissed, their bodies rubbing up against one another. The rubbing heated them up and made their hormones go crazy. Misty reached down and grabbed his shaft again and started stroking it as Ash moved his hand down to her womanhood and began to rub it slowly. Both Ash and Misty moaned into each other's mouths as they did so.

After a moment, Ash pulled away from Misty's lips but then quickly started to kiss down her neck. Misty went ecstatic as she felt his warm lips on her neck, making her shiver with enjoyment. As he lowered himself down her body while giving out kisses, she let go of his shaft since she couldn't reach it anymore and before she could say anything, Ash licked her right breast's nipple before sucking on it. This new sensation sent a jolt through her body and Misty moaned with a slight squeak, earning a smile from Ash as he continued sucking on and licking her nipple with his tongue while rubbing her womanhood with his right hand. He then brought up his left hand and began playing with her left breast. He soon switched targets, now sucking and licking her left breast and nipple while playing with her right breast with his right hand before he lowered his left hand down her body towards her womanhood once more.

When he reached her womanhood, he rubbed against it for a little while before stroking the opening with his finger. This new sensation sent Misty into higher levels of enjoyment and she groaned and moaned even louder, while taking many sharp and quick breathes. Feeling her get wetter, Ash thought that was good sign and decided to enter a finger inside her. When he did, Misty almost shot up from the shock of it. When Ash stopped and looked at her worryingly, Misty grabbed his face with both hands, pulled it towards her and kissed him passionately, with him returning the passion immediately. He relaxed quickly, now understanding that she was just surprised from his action. They were beyond enflamed now and Misty couldn't wait anymore and neither could Ash. When they separated, they looked into one another's eyes, their eyes burning with passion and heat.

"I can't wait anymore. I want to become one with you," said Misty without embarrassment.

"I want to experience that too Mist," replied Ash, gaining courage from her words.

Ash repositioned himself and lined up his shaft to her womanhood. He nudged the tip of it against her opening and felt Misty quiver. He looked up at her.

"Please be gentle," requested Misty.

"I promise," vowed Ash.

Ash pushed into her opening a bit before pulling out and then back in. He worked his way in slowly, doing his absolute best not to hurt Misty. As he did so, Misty let out moans and gasps. Soon, Ash was able to go a bit in and when he felt a barrier, he stopped and looked up at Misty. She smiled before nodding at him, giving him permission to continue. Ash smiled slightly but knew the next action would cause her some pain but also knew that she would feel more pleasure after since he had the 'talk' with his mom a long time ago. He pushed in, breaking her hymen, causing Misty to scream as pain shot through her body but Ash quickly silenced her with a kiss. He didn't move while kissing her, staying still.

Misty felt the sharp pain slowly dying down as she focused on the kiss. She broke away from Ash after a moment and when he looked at her with concerned eyes, he noticed that her eyes were watery. When he gave her that look of concern, it made her smile before she wrapped him with her legs around his lower back and made him push into her more. Ash moaned as she winced, a tear escaping her eye from the pain. Ash noticed and gently wiped it away and she smiled slightly. She knew she took all of him in, which was more than she thought but soon the pain faded away and she started feeling his shaft inside her. This new sensation felt wonderful to her, feeling his warm member heat her up and fill her up from the inside. She lowered her legs and kissed him. He began to move, pulling out slowly and then right before he was fully out, he pushed back in again. Misty felt amazing at the sensation of him moving inside her. He kept the slow pace for a bit before increasing his speed little by little.

"You're so tight…it feels…incredible," commented Ash, feeling her womanhood hugging his shaft.

"Ah…never thought…it'd be…this great…" moaned Misty as he continued.

Misty felt like she was in heaven and her feelings kept getting stronger as the minutes passed. After a couple minutes, Ash was thrusting into her quickly now. She moaned loudly and started to make continuous small noises when Ash licked and sucked on her breasts again while still pumping into her as the two wonderful sensations completely engulfed her. She grabbed the bed sheets and clenched her fists around them, arching her back as the experience was overwhelming her.

"Oh fuck that feels good!" shouted Misty, feeling incredible and Ash merely responded back with a muffled moan as he continued sucking on her breast.

He picked up his speed. Misty started moaning, her squeals and squeaks high pitched and so loud that Ash had to kiss her to keep her from waking up the others. He grabbed both her breasts and played with them as he continued pumping into her as they kissed. Misty had dug into his back with her fingernails after wrapping her arms around him from the intense pleasure she was feeling. Needing to get some air they stopped kissing for a moment, panting heavily but kept going.

"ASH! I feel it coming!" exclaimed Misty.

"I'm almost there too Misty!" growled Ash, slowing down a bit.

"Oh fuck! Don't stop! Don't slow down!" demanded Misty, practically yelling at him.

"As you wish!"

Ash began to thrust into her powerfully and much more quickly, making Misty make noises again. After a minute more of this, Ash felt himself about to explode.

"Misty, I can't hold it anymore!"

"I want to feel it! I want you all! Fill me up inside!"

Ash growled a little but kept up his pace. He somehow even went a little faster and harder, making Misty squeal with pleasure suddenly. Her squealing caused him to explode from thinking how great he's making her feel. He shot his load into her and the sudden warm sensation made Misty go over the edge and she came as well and Ash felt it go over his shaft. They both made loud moans as they climaxed, though thankfully not loud enough to wake anyone up. Ash collapsed on top of Misty from exhaustion, his face landing onto her breasts, with his shaft still inside her. Misty and Ash panted heavily yet were feeling incredible as the intense feelings washed over the two. When Ash finally gathered some energy, he glanced up at Misty from her breasts and she smiled at him. Ash gave her his trademark goofy grin and she giggled before he kissed her, sharing a passionate kiss.

They separated after and Ash slipped out of Misty and laid down next to her. Misty took her position again from the night before and placed her head against his chest, wrapping her arm around his stomach as Ash wrapped his arms around her. They stayed like that for a few moments before Misty thanked him for the incredible night and Ash thanked her for giving him a chance. They glanced at each other again with loving eyes.

"I love you Misty."

"I love you Ash."

They kissed each other softly but held it for a while, letting the kiss do their talking. After they separated, they gazed at one another, blue eyes and brown eyes staring into one another.

"Goodnight my Pokémon Master."

"Goodnight my Mystic Mermaid."

They snuggled back into their previous position, falling asleep quickly in the nude, the blanket covering them. They both were unbelievably happy and feeling the best that either of them had ever felt as they reached a new level in their relationship. Both of them knew that they would never leave one another, that they were destined to be together, whether it was just them or with a few other girls.
