Pokemon:
Heroic Heart and Super Soul
Episode 21:
A Party Entrance
Tom: From how the series is going, we aim to appease you fans. Not only that, but TimPrime1 strongly appreciates each and every one of you reading his work.
Sara: TimPrime1 has also gotten better as well and aims to update his work when the time comes. Primarily to show how much better he's gotten with story, plot, grammar and such.
Tom: Not only that, but he thinks it'll be past 30 or 40 episodes until the end of the first season. Not only that, but he's getting ready for a fanfiction Pokémon movie. He won't reveal it just yet, and he's going to be working on his own series to explain events that have been occurring before Heroic Heart and Super Soul.
Sara: That series might take some time. But it'll be worth it in the long run.
Tom: There's a great deal to discuss, but for now. Let's get this episode started. We ready Sara?
Sara: We're now receiving the live transmission now! (drones fire the bean to the Absolution) Alright, Tom. We're ready.
Tom: I love this job. (He hits the touchscreen buttons)
TP1
In Silver Town, while the Pokémon contest is currently underway. Quite a few vehicles appear and arrive near the place where the coordinators are staying. As they've stopped, each one's door opens. Out of a van steps out Prof. Oak and Delia, along with Tracey. From another car steps out a brunet haired woman with a blue haired man, Caroline and Norman. From the back seat, Max steps out, having grown a bit over time.
From out of a bluish-green car steps out a blue-haired woman with a blonde-haired man and a blonde-haired boy. These three were Johanna, Palmer and his son Barry. The adults look at the Contest hall and Barry walks towards it a bit, being a bit confused about it.
"So this is where the party is at, huh?" he questioned.
"Not here, Barry. At the hotel where they're staying." His father informs him as he approaches as well.
"I'd say, it's been a while since we last seen Ash and his friends. How about you, Max?" Norman asks his son.
"You know I can't wait till I see them again. I wonder how well Ash has been doing over time." Max said as he wondered.
"Don't forget what May told you. He traveled Sinnoh and saw him win the League on tv." Caroline reminded her son.
"That's right. But who are these two guys?" Max asked as he pointed to Palmer and Barry.
Barry went right up to him. "Me? I'm Barry. One of Ash's long-time friends." He replies with a cocky attitude with his eyes closed and his hands on his hips as he smiles.
"I bet I've known him longer than you have." Max states as he adjusts his glasses.
"WHAT! I strongly doubt that." Barry says in an attempt to counter.
"Try me." Max replies calmly with his arms crossed.
"I've known Ash since Sinnoh and have been his rival in the Sinnoh League." Barry boasts.
"I've traveled with him for a while through Hoenn and the Kanto Battle Frontier with my sister. May, and Brock." Max retorts.
"I take it that this will be a minute." Norman says, seeing how those two are trying to outdo each other.
"Might be a minute, yes. But hello there. I'm Palmer." Palmer says as he extends his hand.
"Norman. Norman Maple" Norman replies as he shakes his hand.
Caroline came forward with a smile and Palmer looked at her and gave off a smile. "And who might you be lovely lady? Probably married to this good lookin' fellow." Palmer complimented.
Caroline giggled and blushed at the compliment. "I am. My name is Caroline. Caroline Maple." She replied as they shook hands as well.
"I must say it's nice to meet you all." Palmer told them.
"Good to meet you all as well." Prof. Oak told them.
"Ah, Prof. Oak. It's nice to finally meet you." Palmer said to him, and they shook hands.
"Like wise." Prof. Oak replied.
Delia went up to Norman and Caroline. "You two must be May's parents. My name is Delia Ketchum." She told them as she extended her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Delia." Caroline replied.
"Likewise." Norman added as they all shook hands.
"Also, this is my assistant, Tracey." Prof. Oak told them as Tracey came up.
"Nice to meet you all." He told them. They all shook hands and continued to hear Barry and Max still trying to outwit each other.
"I think we best stop them. Hey, Max." Norman called out. Max and Barry stopped fighting and looked to the adults. "Why don't you come over here and meet everyone." His father requested.
"You too, Barry." Palmer requested as well.
Both boys went over and began to meet the others. Barry got to meet Tracey and Johanna went over to the others.
"I take it you're Delia. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Johanna." Johanna introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you as well." Delia replied as they shook hands. Johanna also got to meet Norman and Caroline along with Max.
"I wonder how many are going to be here." Barry questioned.
"I'm not for sure on that, but I know there's supposed to be a lot of people here. May contacted us and I'm not sure when she'll arrive." Caroline remarked.
"Hey everyone!" a very familiar voice called out. They all looked and saw a brunette-haired girl walking fast towards them. She had a green bandana with white pokeball markings on her head with a sleeveless and short orange tunic with a black collar, black bike shorts, white, black and green gloves, black socks, orange and white sneakers and a green waist pack. Most of them immediately knew who she was.
(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HERO. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.
"May! It's so good to see you again." Caroline said as she gave her daughter a loving hug in which May returned.
"It's great to see you too, mom." She replied. Her father came over and May looked to him before giving him a hug as well. "I've missed you too, dad." She told him.
"It's great to see you again, Princess." He told her.
Barry was gawking at her slightly. "Who-who's that girl?" he questioned as he pointed at May.
"That's my sister and if you have to ask, she's not available for you." Max told him bluntly.
"What! I'm not interested in her." Barry told Max.
"Uh huh. Says the boy who wasn't gawking." Max stated sarcastically.
"I can see we finally made it." Another boy stated. They looked at him as he had green hair, a purple jacket with a long sleeve black shirt underneath, light green pants, and black shoes.
"Before you ask, that's Drew. He knows May incredibly well." Max informed him.
Barry watched as he walked up to her and handed her a rose in which she gratefully accepted and giggled, before kissing his cheek. "I can definitely tell they like each other." Barry said to himself.
"You have no idea." Max remarked, a bit annoyed.
"We might have to set the ground rules for those two." Norman said with a small laugh.
"They need to confirm their relationship first." Caroline teased at her husband.
"For right now, we best get started." Delia told them. They all nodded and began to get to work.
While they went to work, May and Drew went up to the contest hall and heard a small amount of cheering from the outside.
"Reminds me of when you were here a while back." Drew told her.
"Definitely reminds me of what happened a while back. This is where I got my second contest ribbon and encouraged Jeremy to continue with what he wanted to do." May recalled.
"How about the two of you go ahead and keep an eye out here." Norman told them. They looked back at him. "It'll take us some time to get the party set up. Not only that, but we're still waiting for Brock." He added.
"Sure. You got it, dad." May replied. From there, they went in to see how the contest was going.
As they did, Norman went back to the others. He saw Max working with Barry, as much as could. His wife was working with Delia and Johanna was working with Palmer. He went over to Prof. Oak and Tracey.
"Is there anything I can help with?" he asked.
"I'd say so. Just some boxes that need to be moved. Delia is going to get a good spot as well." Pro. Oak informed him.
"Right. I'll get the boxes and help Delia with the spot." He told them and picked up a couple of boxes.
With May and Drew, as they went inside and saw what was going on. They saw a new girl with honey like hair taking the stage, going against a guy with a Kecleon. The two of them watched as she was barely staring to gain the upper hand.
"Seems like she's a bit nervous." Drew commented.
"But it looks like she might be able to pull though." May added. The both of them knew it would be a few hours until the contest would be over and they headed out and informed Norman of what they saw.
"The contest is past the first round? Seems like we don't have much time." He stated and moved a few more boxes.
"I wonder…" "HEY GUYS!" a very familiar voice exclaimed. They looked and saw Brock approaching in a van.
"Hey, it's Brock!" May exclaimed.
"About time he made it." Drew stated.
The van Brock was in parked and he along with his family got out. "Hey you two. Been a while. A longer while for you, though, Drew." He stated.
"It's great to see you again as well." May told him.
"Hope you've been doing good." Drew said to him.
"Been doing pretty good so far. I brought the family to help." He told them. They all got out and began to help.
Everyone who didn't know of Brock family got to meet them. Barry was incredibly surprised at their size along with Max. As they began to set up decorations, another vehicle came up and three more people stepped out. As the others looked at them. One man with brunette hair, a light green long-sleeved shirt with a button, grey pants with a belt and black shoes, a woman with a lighter brown hair, a tan dress, a hat with a blue bow on it, a light purple jacket on and white low heels and a little girl with fairly long light brown hair, wearing a dark-blue dress and a pale blue one under that along with a blue ribbon in her hair tied in a bow.
Delia looked right at them along with Prof. Oak and they instantly knew them.
"Oh my! Professor Hale and…" "Please, Delia. You know you can be more formal." Mrs. Hale reminded her.
"Right!" Delia replied before she went up to the little girl who looked a tad younger than Max. "My oh my, if it isn't Molly. You've grown a bit since I've last seen you." Delia complimented.
"She most certainly has over the years. She'll be a fine young lady like my wife, Katherine." Spencer stated.
Molly looked at her. "I definitely remember you. You definitely helped us out a great deal." Molly recalled.
"It was no problem sweetie." Delia told her.
"Now, how can we help with this party?" Spencer asked.
They continued to work from there as Max accidentally bumped into Molly. "Whoops sorry. Hard to notice anyone carrying these items." Max said as he apologized.
"No problem. My name is Molly. Molly Hale." Molly told him as she introduced herself.
"Wait! You're the daughter of that famous…" "I know. My mom and dad are over there." She replied as she moved her head in their direction. They saw him attempting to set up more decorations.
"So how do you guys know the Ketchums?" Max asked. From there, Molly explained as May and Drew came out.
Caroline looked at them. "How's the contest going in there?" she asked them.
"I believe it'll be over in a few hours." Drew informed them.
"There's some girl with a Squirtle taking on a guy with a Kecleon." May added.
"Then we probably don't have much time. Huh?" Spencer stated until he heard a jeep pull up. They all looked and saw Cynthia as she hopped out.
She looked at everyone with a small smile. "Hello everyone." She greeted them.
"Wait! Isn't that…" "CYNTHIA!" Brock exclaimed as he ran towards her, interrupting May. His eyes had hearts in them as he ran towards her. A wave of air went by everyone he went past. "Cynthia my darling. Is so great to see you again." He stated romantically as he was down on one knee in his usual stance.
"Here we go again." May remarked as she sweat dropped, her eyes closed. Drew merely nodded.
"Words cannot describe how much…ow ow ow…" "Come on you. You don't need to describe anything." Max told him as he pulled on his ear.
"Well, these things haven't gotten old." May recalled. Some of the adults looked very confused, but resumed their work.
"Hello down there!" someone exclaimed. Everyone looked around for a second until they looked up and saw a man descend on a Hydreigon. It was a man with red hair.
"Wait! Is that…?" Max wondered.
"That's Lance. The Champion of Kanto and Johto. He's one of the toughest Champions on the planet." Brock stated after he recovered.
Lance's Hydreigon landed and he hopped off and brought out his Pokeball. "Thanks, Hydreigon. Return." He told his partner Pokemon as he returned it to its Pokeball. He looked to everyone after he did. "Am I late for the party?" he asked everyone.
"No. In fact both you and Cynthia are in time to help out. But how'd you know about the party?" Brock asked.
"I informed him." Cynthia explained.
From there, Lance went over to her, took her hand, and kissed it. "It's nice to see you again, Cynthia." Lance told her.
She blushed with her eyes closed and her hand on her cheek. "My goodness. You certainly haven't changed." She replied in a shy tone.
This hit Brock as he did a pose as if he was hit then slumped over. "Why me?" he questioned himself.
As they continued to set up for the party, another car drove up to the hotel. They all looked and saw a woman step out. She had black hair, tanned skin, a yellow clip in her hair, a black short-sleeve shirt, green pants and red shoes. Everyone looked at her as she went up to them. "Excuse me. Do you all know when the contest will be over soon?" she asked them.
Drew stepped forward. "It'll be done in a few hours or less. It's definitely getting underway." Drew told her.
"That's good. I wanted to surprise my daughter." She told them.
"Who is your daughter?" Caroline asked as she put up more decorations.
The woman gave off her daughter's description, even mentioning she had a Squirtle. May gasped, knowing who her daughter was. "I saw her on the tv screen in there." She told her. The woman looked to May. "We were in there not too long ago. She was going up against a guy with a Kecleon." May informed her.
"Did you see her friends in there?" she requested.
"Who are her friends?" Max asked.
"Lets see. If I remember correctly they are Ash, Misty, Iris…uuhhh…" "My Ash?" Delia questioned. The woman looked to her. "Y-yes. She made friends with him when she started her journey. My name is Grace, by the way." Grace said as she introduced herself.
"My name is Delia. Delia Ketchum." Deli told her. They both shook hands. "Would you like to stay for the party? We're celebrating a few things. If your daughter wins, it'll be a bonus." Delia told her.
"M-most certainly. What are the odds I would meet her friends parents." Grace said as she gratefully accepted.
From there she helped them out and they all chatted away. Talking about their children and their journeys. After a couple of hours, May and Drew went back in and saw the Contest was nearly done and ran back outside.
Everyone looked at them. "The contest is almost finished. Serena is about to take on another coordinator." May informed them.
"Not much time left. Brock!" Flint exclaimed. Brock nodded and threw his Pokeballs.
"Come on out guys. We're going to need more help." Brock called out. Each of his Pokemon called out their name as they came out.
Each of them began to help set up the decorations. May and Drew along with Norman released their Pokemon as well. Each of them began to work as fast as possible. As they were, two more people had approached them and one of them smiled.
"Well now! It's been a while, Brock." The voice said. Brock was surprised as he immediately recognized the voice. He looked over and saw a red-headed girl standing there, with a smile on her face.
"What the…? Zoey?" he questioned.
She gave off a light laugh with her eyes closed. "The one and only."
May stopped and looked over and saw Zoey, as she had remembered her from the Wallace Cup. "Zoey?" she questioned, being a bit in disbelief.
The adults along with Drew, Max and Molly looked over as well. "Who's that girl?" Max questioned.
"This is Zoey. She's a friend of ours from Sinnoh." Brock explained to Max as he looked at him. He looked back over to Zoey. "So who's your frie…" he stopped as he immediately noticed it was Paul standing next to her. "Paul?" he questioned. Zoey blushed a bit, her eyes now opened most of the way, nearly half lidded and she looked shyly away from him as she rubbed her own arm with a small smile. Brock noticed this and slumped over again. "Once again, I'm left in the dust." He said in a very sad tone.
May noticed this from Brock as did the others and she put two and two together. "Wait! Do you…" she was immediately grabbed up by Zoey and brought over to the side.
"Yes, but not one word. I don't know if he even knows yet either." Zoey told her. May nodded, understanding, as she had deep feelings for Drew. The only difference was is that Drew knew as well, but didn't make any move just yet and neither did she.
As they got back to work, Brock looked over to Zoey. "So where did you and Paul come from?" he asked her.
"Well, since I learned about a contest being here. I thought I might check it out to see if Dawn was participating in it." She told him.
"So far, we found out that Grace's daughter, Serena, is in her first debut here." Flint told her.
"Huh?" Zoey questioned, Flint pointed to Grace as she was helping Delia and Caroline. "A new coordinator, huh! Can't wait to meet her!" Zoey exclaimed.
Not long after another car drove up and out came three girls. They each went to the back and saw everyone. Once everyone looked at them, hardly any of them knew who they were until Brock's eyes lit up. "DAISY, LILY, VIOLET!" Brock shouted with hearts in his eyes once again as he ran to them. "IT'S BEEN SOOO LONG." He continued to shout. Max was about ready to pull his ear for when he stopped, until Brock immediately stopped. This confused him until he saw a frog-like Pokémon. "But…I guess…I can…wait…a…little…longer." He said in a straining tone until he fell over. The poison type dragged him away and everyone was very confused, including Max.
"Well, now." Daisy said as she watched him but looked back to the others. "Like, hello everyone." She told them.
"Daisy, Lilly, Violet. I'm glad you guys could make it." Tracey told them.
Daisy went up to her crush and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "It's great to see you all again as well." Daisy told him.
Brock, once again, slumped over. "Once a bachelor, always a bachelor." He said to himself in a sad tone again.
"Are you three here to help as well?" Johanna asked.
"Most certainly are. How can we, like, help?" Lilly asked.
"While they're here, how about you and Drew check on the contest. I think they're beginning to wrap things up." Zoey told May and Drew. They both agreed and went inside the contest hall.
As they went in, they saw that the stadium of people was leaving as the contest had final ended.
With Ash and those, they had just met Shauna and Calem and beginning to have a chat with him.
"So you mean to tell us that, you remember Serena?" Ash questioned. Pikachu and Piplup were also very curious.
Calem gave Ash a couple of nods to confirm it. "I do. I don't know if she remembers me." He informed Ash as he looked back to her.
Serena looked up at the ceiling, with her finger on her chin, in deep thought. She began to recall the events in her head then looked between both Ash and Calem. "I-I think I do remember. I had gotten separated from the group." She began to recall.
"I think I managed to find you. We did only meet for one day. It was once I saw you in Cerulean, I wanted to try and catch up with you. Unfortunately, I missed my chance." He told her.
"I think it's also why I was about ready to ask Ash the same thing." Serena told them. They looked at her, wondering what she meant. "When I first met up with Ash. He definitely seemed familiar to me. Not just from the Leagues." She told them. "I think it's how you and Calem look almost alike." She stated.
Ash and Calem looked at each other, barely seeing it, while Misty, Dawn, Kenny Iris and Shauna pretty much saw what she meant.
"I pretty much do see it." Kenny told them.
"I don't think I do." Ash said to them.
Misty sighed with her eyes closed. "Yet, I pretty much do." She said to herself.
"There's more to discuss. Shall we head to the lounge?" Calem requested as he gave off a hand gesture.
They all began to head to the lounge area, just as Drew and May had had begun to come in. They sat down on the sofas and began to chat.
"With how things were going at the summer academy. I knew we were going to learn a lot of stuff." Calem recalled as he began to talk about the events. "I remember meeting Prof. Oak and he took us on a nature walk, so we all could see the many different Pokémon in the Kanto region." Calem told everyone.
As he was talking, May and Drew peeked their heads around the corner and saw that Ash was sitting with his back turned to them. Looking at Misty, May almost didn't recognize her. She even saw Dawn with her Piplup and Serena with two unfamiliar boys and one unfamiliar girl.
"Oh yeah. I remember that stuff as well. We really had a great time. It was very relaxing to walk around and see the Pokémon." Serena began to recall.
"I couldn't agree more. I remember Prof. Oak asking us questions to test our minds." Calem recalled.
As they chatted, May whispered something into Drew's ear and he chuckled at it and looked back to her. "Go for it, May." He encouraged.
From there she snuck around the corner and began to creep up behind Ash. Serena, Dawn, Kenny and Iris noticed this and barely heard Calem talking. Serena, Iris and Kenny were very confused, but Dawn knew who she was. May put a finger to her lips to let them know not to say a word. Dawn understood completely and giggled as May got really close to Ash from behind.
Ash, Misty and Calem noticed this and Ash was the first to speak up. "What's so funny, Da…" that was when a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind and Dawn giggled harder, while the other four were very confused. Misty about jumped until she saw it was May and giggled as well. Shauna jumped a tad bit when May did this though. "Wh…what the? Who is this?" Ash questioned.
"I'll give you three guesses." Misty told him, seeing that Dawn was having a hard time talking.
"Three guesses?" Ash questioned, not being able to guess who it is.
"That right. Only three." May said. Ash immediately recognized that voice. As May removed her hands, Ash turned around and saw the young brunette.
He gasped a bit. "May!" He exclaimed in a cordial manner.
"Pika! (May!)" Pikachu exclaimed.
"The one and only." She teased with a wink. She went around and gave him a hug and he returned it and they both pulled back, before she looked to Pikachu. "Nice to see you as well." She told the electric mouse as she pet his head. He gave off a 'Pika' as she did.
"Man, it's been a while. How have you been?" Ash asked.
"Been doing great so far." May told him as she looked back at him.
Ash looked to the others as he let her go. "Iris, Kenny, Serena, Calem, Shauna! I'd like for you all to meet an old friend of mine. May!" He exclaimed as he gestured her.
"It's nice to meet you all." May told them.
"It's nice to meet you too, but who's that?" Iris asked as Drew came up.
"Oh! This is Drew. He's pretty much my rival in contests." May informed them.
"I'd say more or less." He told them as he flipped his hair.
Ash looked to May. "I'm curious though. What are you doing here? I thought you'd be heading to Sinnoh. Or at least in Sinnoh" Ash said to her.
"Well…you see…" May started to explain until Brock came around the corner and saw them talking.
"May might be able to keep him distracted for a bit, but…" Brock said to himself until he saw one girl who made him gasp. She was walking next to another girl as they both talked. "A GIRL!" he shouted as he ran towards her, hearts in his eyes again. He ran incredibly fast once again that he caused a small breeze as he ran by his friends.
Ash, Misty, May, Drew and those barely even saw him run by. Serena, Calem, Iris Kenny and Shauna were very confused. They looked and saw him kneeling on one knee. "My sweet beaut. As soon as I saw you, I felt my heart flutter." He told her. The girl gave off a sweat drop along with a nervous laugh. Misty, seeing him attempted to walk to him until Ash stopped her.
She looked at him very puzzled. "Hang on for a sec. Trust me." He told her.
That was when they hear a 'Croa-gunk' and they saw that Croagunk had used his Poison Jab on him. "Unless my…'flutter'…spirals…down." He said as he fell down from the Poison Jab. From there Croagunk began to drag Brock away and Misty watched him. As she did Croagunk stopped briefly and looked at her and she him. There was a bit of a connection between the two, but Croagunk continued on.
"Who…who was that?" Serena questioned.
"And what was he doing?" Calem added.
"Oh that!" Ash exclaimed as he looked at them. "That was Brock. He's a friend of ours as well." Ash told them. "Although, I wonder why he's here too." Ash said as he rubbed his head.
"Pika chu pika, pi. (I wonder that, too.)" Pikachu replied.
"Probably here for the…" Serena was about to say until Misty and May grabbed her and pulled her off to the side, quickly.
Serena looked very confused. "Don't say anything about the party." Misty told her.
"If you do, it will not only be ruined for Ash but for everyone else too." May added on.
Serena nodded. "You got it. I won't say a thing." She promised.
"Well that's good." Brock said as he appeared behind them. That freaked them out a bit.
"CAN YOU NOT DO THAT!" May demanded.
"Sorry, sorry. But we do need a distraction for Ash. The party isn't really ready." Brock told them.
"Is that why you came in here?" May asked, a bit annoyed.
"Actually, I wanted to see if you needed any help." Brock told May.
"Then you go chasing after another girl." Misty stated in an ironic tone.
"Why did you do that, oh…and by the way, the name is Serena." Serena told him as she extended her hand.
He took her hand and shook it. "Nice to meet yet. Hopefully we can have a more proper introduction later." He told her.
"Right." She replied.
"So what about a dis…" Misty was about to say until Brock and May stared at her, smiling wide. "Uh…yes?" Misty questioned.
"You'll be the one to distract Ash." May informed her.
Misty was taken aback. "M-me?" she questioned. Even Serena was stunned by this.
"Yes you. As for you, Serena." Brock said as he looked at her. "You'll invite those two over there." Brock informed her as he pointed to Calem and Shauna.
"B-but I just met…" "More looked like you guys were getting to know each other. As for now." Brock stated as he interrupted her. "We just need you to distract Ash long enough, Misty." Brock told her.
"A-alright. I'll see what I can do." Misty told Brock.
Ash was still off to the side, very confused at what was going on.. They turned around and went back to the group. "What was all that about?" Ash asked.
"It's nothing to worry about. Since the contest is over, why don't we get a small bite to eat." Misty suggested.
"Sure." Ash replied as he offered his arm to her in which she gratefully accepted. As they began to walk out, Pokachu still on Ash's shoulder. Both May and Brock watched them, smiling.
"So, Brock. When do you think they'll get together?" May asked.
"No telling with those two." He replied.
With Serena, she went up to Calem and Shauna as Iris was also standing there. "Uummm,,,guys." She requested. They looked to her. "I was told to give you both an invite for Ash's surprise party. Do you both want to come?" she asked them.
Shauna smiled at the invite "Sure! I'd love to come." She answered.
"Same here with me. I'll go to the party as well." Calem replied. Serena smiled at them, glad to hear they accepted the invite.
With Ash and Misty. The two of them went outside to get a small bite to eat, even as Misty was going to distract him until the party was ready. They grabbed up some cookies to munch on and walked around as they talked.
"With Serena's first contest debut. I was on the edge of my seat." Ash told Misty.
"Pika chu pika! (She was amazing!)" Pikachu told them.
"I know what you mean. I also saw that Dawn did an incredible job training her. Along with how well you mentored her as well." She told Ash, complimenting him on mentoring Dawn throughout her journey as well. This continued to make her proud of him.
"Pikapi pi pika chu pika. (Ash did a great job.)" Pikachu complimented.
He ate another cookie and Msity kissed his cheek. He looked to her and smiled and she returned it. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and she laid her head on his shoulder. "I still can't believe all the stuff that has happened over these years." He told her.
"I just can't believe we're traveling again." Misty told him, sounding pretty ecstatic. He kissed her head and laid his head on her and she smiled and gave off a dreamy sigh, not wanting to leave his loving embrace. Even as she nuzzled her head into his shoulder. Pikachu smiled at the two of them as they continued to walk.
As they did they began to hear something coming in their direction. As they looked, they saw a massive group of people running to them. "It's him! The league victor from Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh." Many of them stated.
Ash got very frantic and knew what this would mean. He looked over to Misty and also knew she would get trampled. Doing the only thing he could do, he pushed her out of the way. Pikachu braced for the impact of the fans.
She was very surprised and looked over to him, very worried. "ASH!" she called out. It was too late. He got swamped by all the fans and they wanted his autograph. Pikachu could see them attempting to grab for him, so he did the only thing he could and jumped in Misty's direction and she caught him. "You okay, Pikachu?" she asked, still worried.
"Pika, pi-pika. Pi Pikapi. (Yes, I am. But Ash.)" he said.
"I know, I know." She replied as she saw him still swamped.
He was very nervous, but knew what they wanted as he signed many autographs for them. Misty could tell he was in some trouble, but didn't know how to get him out of there yet. Ash even signed a few hats as well. He saw three very familiar hats as they were official league hats. He gestured to sign them and they happily obliged. One hat was with the original logo that he wore. Another had a slightly altered logo that was separated at the corner. The third and final one had it to where the logo was in the shape of a bit of a square pokeball that was split on both ends.
As he was signing autographs still, a girl pulled at him. "Do you have girlfriend? If you don't, I'll be your girlfriend." A girl told him. This made Ash incredibly nervous, even after Misty heard this.
"No, I'll be his girlfriend." Another girl told her.
"No, me!" a third girl stated.
It was from there, he was being yanked by many fan girls who wanted him and Misty could tell he needed help. As they kept pulling him and fans asking for autographs, Misty went up and reached in there. She managed to grab Ash and pull him out of the crowd. After she did, he was panting and she helped him stand.
"Let's get out of here." He told her.
"Right." She replied.
He grabbed her hand and they ran for the hotel to get away from all the fans, Pikachu hanging onto Misty still. "Yeesh! I can't believe how many fans there really are." He stated.
"What do you expect? You're the victor in three different leagues." She reminded him in a teasing tone. She then realized they were about at the hotel and saw all the cars parked outside.
"Yeesh! Seems like quite a bit of people staying the night here." He commented.
"If he doesn't notice the people in the back, then we'll be in the clear." Misty thought to herself.
They entered in as he panted, but still held her hand as he used one hand to support himself on his knee. "I-I…I think we'll be safe in here." He told her.
"So as long as we don't go back outside for a bit, I know we'll be safe." Misty replied, hoping Ash would take the hint.
"Probably so. For just in case." He told her and he took her back up to her room. "I think we'll be safer here. They might try to look in the rooms." He said to her. This was a relief to Misty as they were now away from the party.
With everyone preparing for the party, some more people had arrived. Casey was helping with the snacks while Giselle assisted her. Georgio assisted Joe with the lights. Kelly had arrived as well and assisted May with the streamers. Brock managed to contain himself from the other two Cerulean sisters. Especially since Croagunk was out of his Pokeball. Tracey assisted Daisy with setting up tables. Even Khoury and Lyra managed to make it.
"I think the party is almost ready." Grace commented.
"I'd say your right. It's nearly time to go and get Ash, Pikachu and Misty." Delia added.
"I wonder where they are." Palmer wondered.
"If I can make a guess, Ash is probably battling.' Barry said.
"Least likely." Paul stated. Barry looked at him, very confused. "I saw him and Misty run into the hotel. I strongly doubt Ash knew what was going on. Especially since he was running away from those fans of his." Paul informed them.
"I wonder who told them about Ash being here?" Brock pondered.
"I think it was some of us. We did tell some people that we were here to see Ash." Casey told them.
"That would explain the crowd I saw during the contest. They definitely were looking for him." Kelly mentioned.
"Hey, May, Zoey, Serena! I think a certain someone needs to look appealing for the party!" Dawn said in a friendly teasing way. May and Zoey giggled, knowing who she meant as Serena was a bit confused until May grabbed her hand and dragged her along.
"I know you're probably confused, but we're talking about Misty. We know that she needs to be ready for the party." May commented.
"I guess that leaves me with Ash." Brock stated as he headed off as well.
"There they go. Getting them ready for the party." Casey commented.
"You know it." Gisselle replied to her. "It's been a good while since I've seen Ash." She remarked.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Casey asked her as she looked at her. It was there they heard a scream and a little crash. They looked and saw Joe a bit tangled up in the lights.
"Isn't that your date?" Casey questioned.
"Yep, that's my boyfriend alright. He's a bit clumsy, still." Giselle recalled as she went over to help him. Casey watched her boyfriend, Georgio, assist her with getting him down. Khoury and Leyra assisted with the lights as well, as the two attempted to help Joe.
"How did this happen?" Khoury questioned.
"I don't know. The best thing we can do is get the party ready, hun." She said to him. Khoury did as his girlfriend suggested and continued to help with the lights.
Casey smiled at Georgio as he was starting to untangle Jey with Gisselle's help. "I'll say this. I don't know how I fell for that boy. He sure does have my heart." Casey said to herself as she put her hand over her heart.
With May, Dawn, Zoey and Serena. They went through the hotel entrance and began to head up to their rooms.
In Misty's room, she and Ash were looking outside, enjoying the evening sun as it was fairly low. Ash held Misty close as she rested her head on his shoulder. The two smiled and Misty looked up at him, slightly. He looked down at her and gave her a smile and she returned it.
"Anything on your mind, Mist?" he asked her.
"W-well…those girls out there. They each said they wanted to be your girlfriend." She remarked.
Ash gave a chuckle. "Well, it'll be kind of hard. I wasn't really interested in any of them." He told her. Misty looked up at him more, a bit shocked. "You see. I didn't feel an emotional connection or attachment with any of them." He told her.
She really looked at him as she got her head up and placed a hand on his chest. "They…they didn't?" she questioned.
"Nope. I remember when I first won the Johto League, I had a lot of fans that came up to me." He recalled.
Misty giggled. "I remember." She recalled. From there, she placed her head back on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his upper torso.
"Pika pika pi pikachu pi pika. (I know which girl has your heart.)" Pikachu said, teasingly. Ash gave him a bit of a glare, as to say 'shut up' very sarcastically and jokingly. Pikachu gave off a small laugh.
"Seems like we found them." A very familiar voice said. Misty got her head off his shoulder and the three of them turned and looked back. They saw Dawn with May, Zoey and Serena. "We have something very important outside, but we need to get Misty ready first." Dawn told them.
"W-wait! Get me ready?" she questioned.
Brock came up as well. "I need to help you get ready too, Ash." He told him.
"Oh no." they both said.
"Pika pika-chu pika. (This should be good.)" he said very slyly.
The girls got Ash out of the room and he looked at them dumbfounded. "You can see your girlfriend when it's time." Dawn told him and closed the door.
Ash looked a bit sad, but was very confused; then realized something. "Didn't let me answer the "girlfriend" part." He said to himself, but Brock still heard him.
"Well, for right now. Let's get you dressed up." Brock told him.
"Pika pikachu pi. (I'm going to enjoy this.)" He said to himself.
"Not helping." Ash told him with another glare. Pikachu just gave off a cheeky grin.
He took Ash to his and Kenny's room as the girls managed to find something for Misty to wear. They helped her to change into a yellow blouse, with a blue jacket with sleeves that went just right past her elbows, a navy blue skirt and some low green heels; but her heels were off as the girls were making her look more appealing.
Misty wasn't too used to this as she was more used to her tomboy look. Zoey helped to do her toenails as Dawn did her hair. May and Serena did her fingernails. Her nails were covered in a glossy nail polish, and Dawn did as Misty requested with her hair, but noticed something different about her hair as well.
"Ash is definitely going to be in awe when he sees you." May gushed. Misty remembered the time that Ash looked at her in awe during their time dancing at the festival near Maidens Peak.
"He definitely is. Yet, I have noticed something about your hair Misty. I think it's a bit longer." Dawn told her as she continued brushing her hair. Piplup watched them from the bed.
"Yeah, I noticed that too, Dawn. I don't know if I'll cut it again any time soon." She told them.
"Wanting to keep it long?" Serena asked.
"For a little while. I want to see how I look with long hair." Misty told her.
"I think you'll look cute with long hair." Dawn complimented her.
"Lup piplup pip. (You most definitely will.)" Piplup stated.
"Thanks, Dawn and Piplup." Misty replied.
As they continued to work on Misty, Ash was getting help from Brock as he was now in a white t-shirt with a long-sleeved, navy blue jean jacket on along with black pants and his regular shoes. Pikachu was watching everything going on.
"So far so good." Brock commented.
"I think I would feel better in my other outfit." Ash told him, not feeling like himself.
"Trust me, Ash. Misty will love the way your dressed. She is your date, after all." Brock reminded him.
"I don't even know what the occasion is for." He reminded Brock.
"Pika pi pika. (I think I know.)" Pikchu said with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"You'll find out really soon. Now let's see if the girls are done yet." Brock said and they both went into the hall as Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder. Brock knocked on their door.
"Who is it?" Misty asked from the other side.
"It's us, Misty. You guys ready?' Brock asked with a lot of enthusiasm.
Misty came out and Ash got a good look at her in the outfit she was wearing, his mouth open. He was in complete awe at what he saw. He saw Misty in her outfit as she also had lipstick on along with some blush and her hair was down. "I'm ready, but the others will be out in a bit." Misty told Brock.
"They must be getting ready still." Brock said to himself. Then he looked to Ash who looked like he was drooling. "Best close that mouth of your, ha ha ha." Brock said with a laugh.
Misty gently closed his mouth and kissed his cheek and he blushed immensely.
"I'll head out to see if everything is ready." Brock told them and he went downstairs.
"I wonder what all is going on." Ash wondered.
"You'll find out in a few minutes." Misty told him with a smile. He looked at her again and was still in awe at how she looked. She giggled. "Someone is speechless. I'm surprised your not drooling as well." She teased.
Ash shook his head to snap out of it. "Gosh! You look beautiful." He told her out loud then covered his mouth. 'What am I trying to do! Let my feels out to her?' he thought to himself. Pikchu gave off a cheeky smile from his shoulder, seeing the connection and attachment.
She went up to him and kissed his cheek again as she placed her hand on his chest. "Thank you. You look very handsome." She complimented him.
"He-he, so do you know what's going on?" he asked a bit sheepishly, his hand rubbing the back of his head.
"You'll find out real soon." She told him. Ash extended his arm out and she took his with both her hands. "Where Brock was heading was the back." She told him. He began to talk with her and they exited the hotel. They began to go around to the back and they went around the corner.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY." Everyone called out. Ash was taken a back by all of this. Many of his friends along with his mom were there.
"Wait! A surprise party?" Ash questioned.
"Yep." Misty told him then kissed his cheek again. "Your birthday along with the day you and Pikachu became partners." Misty told him.
"Not only that, but the anniversary for when you and Ash met." Brock told them.
"Wait! What?" Misty questioned.
"We figured that the same day Ash and Pikachu began their journey. They had to of met you as well. So a happy anniversary to Ash and Misty as well." Brock toasted. Everyone else did the same. Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder and joined up with some of the other Pokemon.
"We can't have all the fun." Ash told Misty. Misty let go of his arm and they both threw up their pokeballs and let their Pokemon have fun as well.
It wasn't long after that the other girls were finally at the party as well. Brock sensed this and looked at them. He gave off a sly smile. "Oh boys! Your dates are here." Brock announced to them. Drew, Kenny, Zoey and Calem looked at they saw each of the girls.
May had on an orange blouse with a red skirt and a yellow jacket with red low heels. Dawn was wearing a purple blouse with a blue skirt, a pink jacket and blue low heels. Zoey had on a red blouse with blue pants, an orange jacket and purple low heels. With Serena, she had on a pink blouse with a yellow skirt and a red jacket. Their jackets had medium length sleeves on them as well.
Once each of the boys saw them, each of their mouths were hanging open and everyone gave off a bit of a laugh; even as Drew and surprisingly Paul, attempted to be a bit more mature about how May looked. With everyone gathered together to not only celebrate Ash's birthday along with the anniversary of him meeting Pikachu and Misty on the same day. Everyone looks forward to a fun and relaxing time, as their journeys continue.
