Note: I do not own Pokemon. If I did, this would be a television show on the WB right now. The only characters in the fanfic that I own are Danny and Dustin, and a Pokemon I created, and a new city.

My Pokemon (listed in level from lowest to highest):

Osiris: Mawile (note: Mawile has a pink bow around her neck that serves as a Pokemon translator)

Full Name: Cheridan Brianna (last name confidential)

Likes: Dustin (secretly), chocolate, Pokemon, Dustin, chocolate, soda, hoagies, Dustin, chocolate, you get the idea

Dislikes: Vanilla, Gary, Ash, Team Rocket, pepperoni pizza, anchovies, Ash, Team Rocket. Team Magma, Team Aqua, Gary, Ash, you get the point

Star Pokemon: Rocky (Breloom, who also has a translator around his wrist)

Likes: Danny (Secretly), vanilla, Pokemon, soda, pepperoni pizza, singing, Danny, Danny, Danny, you get my drift

Dislikes: Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Gary, Tracy, cheese pizza, chocolate, hoagies...

Dustin looked at his best friend worriedly.

She was clicking around the PC, muttering to herself about which Pokemon to evolve next.

Dustin stood over her, and shut off the computer.

She glared up at him. "And what was that for?" she asked.

"You're working too hard. Ever since you lost to Wallace it's been nothin' but work. Just relax, will ya?"

Danny sighed and flopped onto her bed. "I have been working hard, huh?"

Dustin ran a hand through his blue hair. "Yeah, pretty much."

Danny smiled, showing off her silver braces. "I really should relax."

She sat up. "I know! Let's go to Osirispetal City! I hear they have the best chocolate in the world!"

Either thinking up some strategy for a battle, or thinking about food.

"Okay," he said, sitting next to her. "When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning," she said, fiddling with her bushy black ponytail. "When the sunrises, so Jett can see where he's going."

"When all this is over, you know when you beat Steven and you become the Pokemon League Champion, and the Battle Tower Champion or whatever, what will happen to...us?"

The smile faded from Danny's face. She looked at the ground.

"I...I don't know. I haven't really given it much thought."

She wiped her eyes, and smiled. "It's so far off anyways. Let's just enjoy the time we have together, alright?"

Dustin smiled, resisting the urge to put his arm around her shoulder.

Last time he had done that, Danny nearly broke his arm.

What worried Dustin the most was his feelings for her.

Ever since they met, he's been interested in seeing her push herself as a trainer.

He was with her when she won her first gym badge, her first showdown with Team Magma, and even when her Combusken, Flame, evolved into a Blaziken.

The question was...would he be able to live with himself if she went back home without the knowledge that he liked--wait, that wasn't the word--loved her?

I'll ask her after the Pokemon League, he thought to himself.

Dustin snapped back to reality and saw Danny snapping her brown fingers in his face.

Danny sighed. "I said, go in your room so I can go to sleep. A young woman needs her privacy."

Dustin got up, laughing. "More like a young baby!"

Danny met that comment with a swift kick to the shins.

Sometimes I wish we were more than just friends.

I know that I'm dreamin' 'cause you're crazy 'bout her.

Sometimes I wish all the time that you spend with her was with me instead.

It's time to let you know just how I feel.

If she ever lets you go, then you know the deal.

If everything was different, you'd be my man.

Sometimes I wish we were more than just friends.

I know that I'm dreamin', 'cause you're crazy 'bout her.

Sometimes I wish all the time that you spend with her was with me instead.

I wish we could be more than friends...

"This place is more beautiful than I thought!" Danny exclaimed as she looked in wonder at all of the breathtaking buildings and monuments.

Danny's Mawile, Osiris, tugged on her red pants leg.

Speaking through her translator around her neck, she said, "Where's all the chocolate?"

Dustin's Breloom, Rocky, who also had a translator around his wrist, said, "Forget chocolate! Let's hit the beach and scan for chicks!"

"Dust, let's go to the restaurant and try some of that chocolate! C'mon!"

Just as Danny and Dustin were outside the cafe, a boy's voice shouted, "Hey, wanna battle!?!"
Danny wheeled around, and saw a boy wearing a red and white hat, with a Pikachu on his shoulder.

He ran up to her. "Do you wanna battle?" he asked.

"Hold it, Ash," said a red head girl holding a Togepi. "You don't if she has more than one Pokemon."

"Oh, she has more than one," Dustin, sweatdropping. "And they're no joke. If you battle her, be extreamly careful, alright?"

Ash gave the boy a thumbs up. "So, are you ready to battle?"

Danny smirked confidently. "Bring it on!"

Ash and Danny met on the pier. They agreed to three Pokemon each.

Pikachu lept off of Ash's shoulder, and into the middle of the pier.

"A Pikachu, huh? Perfect! Go, Jett!"
Flygon emerged from his Pokeball with a loud cry.

The bolt struch Flygon head on, but it didn't so much as flinch.

"I'll explain!" Danny said,"Flygon is a duel-type of Dragon and Ground. Therefore, electric attacks can't harm him!"

Ash, dumbfounded, was thinking of a way to retaliate.

Jett conjured up a boulder, and threw it at Pikachu.

It let out a loud squeal, and then fainted.

Ash picked up Pikachu, and took out another Pokeball.

"Bad choice. Show 'em what you got! Flame!"

Blaziken popped out of his Pokeball, battle ready as always.

"Bayleef, return! You're really strong, Danny!" Ash complimented.

Ash released his final Pokemon, Heracross.

Osiris nodded, and casually walked up to Heracross.

She kissed him on the shell, and he immediatly turned red, and started looking at Osiris dull-eyed.

Ash sighed pathetically. "Heracross, return."

Danny skipped up to Ash, and shook his hand.

"You put up a good fight," Danny said, lying but being polite. "I only battle the best."

Misty, Danny, and Osiris sat in the hot tub of the hotel there were staying in.

Danny munched away at her chocolate bar, wiping the drool from her mouth.

"Say, Misty," she said thickly. "Which one of those boys is your boyfriend?"

Misty's face turned as red as a ripe tomato. "None of them. Ash and Brock are just friends."
Danny looked at Misty doubtfully. "Yeah, sure."
"I'm serious!"

Even Osiris didn't believe her. "I saw the way you were looking at him, and Shippo over here can read your emotions. Tell 'em, Ship!"
Shippo the Ralts shyly walked in Misty's direction, and looked in her eyes.

He nodded his head, and said through the translator on his wrist, "She's crazy in love."

Osiris and Danny slapped their hands together.

Misty pouted and turned her head. "Alright, I admit it! I do like Ash. In fact, I wanna marry him someday. I can see my future in eyes sometimes, you know?"

Danny stuck her finger above her tongue and made a disgusted look, as did Osiris.

"But, I don't know if he feels the same way."

"Bling! A light just came on in my head! Mist, Osiris, Shippo and I will find out for you!"
Misty looked at Danny hopefully. "Really? Will you?"

"Of course! I just love to see old-fashioned romance! It's make me warm and fuzzy, right before I throw up!"

"I'm just kidding! Trust me this, I got it under control."

Remember the first day when I saw your face.

Remember the first when you smiled at me.

Remember the first day when you called my house.

Remember the first day when you took me out.

We had butterflies, although we tried to hide.

I knew right then and there you were the one,

I know that he loves cause he told me so.

I know that he loves me cause his feeling show.

When he stares at me, you he cares for me,

I know that he loves me cause it's obvious.

I know that he loves me, cause it's me he trusts.

And he's missing me if he's not kissing me.

And when he looks at me, his brown eyes tells his soul....

Danny followed Dustin down the street to the restaurant.

Danny looked at him with her big brown puppy eyes.

"I know it's none of my business, but interview Misty about Ash, get as much as you can out of her. Meanwhile, I'll handle Ashy-boy, got it?"

Osiris, who was carrying Shippo on her back, shook Rocky's fists.

"Oh, Hey Misty," Dustin said, sitting across from her.

"Hi, Dustin. Why are you here?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh, no reason. Hey, can I ask you some questions about Ash?"

Dustin switched on the recorder under the table.

Misty gazed up at the ceiling dreamily, and then seemed to remember she was in public.

"Um, he's very sweet and stubborn. He loves his Pokemon a lot, too."

"Hmm-hmm. What do you see when you look in his eyes, hmm?"

Misty looked at him suspiciously. "What are you up to?
"Nothing. Check please."

"What are you trying to pull?" Misty asked firmly.

"Nothing," Dustin said hastily. "Check, please!"

"No! Check! For the love of God, could somebody get me a check!?!"

Danny, Osiris and Shippo ran up to Ash in the hall.

"I know you're a little sore about me kicking your butt yesterday, but I have a few questions."

Danny turned on the tape recorder in her pocket.

"Okay. Tell me what you think of Misty. She's a very nice girl you know."

Diagnosis? Danny thought, knowing her could read her mind.

Not even Danny was prepared for Ash's answer.

"What'd you get?" Danny asked anxiously as they walked towards their hotel room.

"Nothing to be proud of. You?" He handed Danny his recorder.

Danny heaved a heavy sigh. "This guy is in head over heels. I can't believe he opened up to me like that, like I was Oprah or Jenny Jones."

Osiris, Rocky and Shippo were sitting on the bed, on either side of Misty.

"So, what did he say?" she asked anxiously.

"Dustin, Rocky, Shippo, out!" Danny ordered.

"Girl talk, kid," Rocky said, hauling him onto his tail. "You don't wanna hear it."

Danny took the recorder from her pocket. "Brace yourself."

I...Misty is the most beautiful girl I've ever met.

I'm serious! I've been in love with Misty ever since I met her.

Are you mildly in love or dangerously in love?

Uh...I would say crazy in love. That's how she makes me feel.

Why are you asking all of these questions, anyway?

Uh, I've really gotta go. Thank you--I mean, see ya.

"Misty, are you okay?" Danny asked concernedly.

She looked up at Danny with her blue eyes.

Danny hugged her. "Perfect! I know the perfect place and the perfect time!"

Dustin looked at Danny doubtfully. "It better be a big one."

At 8:00 that evening, Danny and Osiris snuck into the top booth of the Osirispetal Stadium.

Misty arrived in the middle at 7:50, 10 minutes before her.

"Don't worry Misty," Danny said through the microphone. "He'll get here! Speak of the devil!"
Ash had just walked into the stadium, sheepishly approaching Misty.

I look and stare so deep in your eyes!
I touch on you more and more every time.

When you leave, I'm begging you not to go...

Danny paused the music and listened to what Ash had to say.

Danny grabbed the microphone and shouted. "I know both of y'all are gonna say something! I do not have all night!"

Ash and Misty laughed. "Misty, the truth is, I really like you. No, scratch that. I really love you. Do you feel the same way?"

Misty wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "I love you."

"Those are the words I wanted to hear!" Danny said. "Can you feel the love tonight!?! Kiss her a kiss! Mwoh!"

Misty kissed Ash smack on the lips, making his blush like made.

Danny pretended to cry. "How romantic. Their love is like an ocean! Oh! I need a tissue."

She pressed a button, and another song began to play.

He who stands by me through the stormy weather.

Takes me to the water and quenches my thirst, my sweet inspiration.

Your love is an ocean, wide as the skies.

He who knows me better than no man on earth.

Guides me to the mountain, Witness my rebirth.

Makes me feel so worthy to belong to him.

"Boring! Y'all look ready to advance, if you know what I'm saying."

"Good-bye, Danny!" Ash and Misty shouted.

Dustin grabbed Danny's backpack and pulled her down the trail.

"Stay faithful! Get married before you have kids! Get Brock a girlfriend!"

Once they were in the forest, Dustin let go of her.

"I feel good," he said. "We actually brought two people together."

Danny cleared her throat. "Correction, I brought them together. All you got was a crummy check."

Before Dustin could reply, he felt something cold on his nose.
"Oh great! Rain!"

Osiris and Shippo returned to the their Pokeballs, and Dustin and Danny hurried for cover.

The rain was pouring down so thick that the duo could barely see where they were going.

"Rocky, you alright!?!" Dustin called to him, who was traveling in his backpack.

Then, Dustin slipped, and fell down a steep incline.

He rolled off of Danny, and looked her grasping her wrist.

He helped her up, and they both trudged to a nearby tree.

He couldn't tell the rain from the tears.

They went inside the tree, out of the rain.

"Dustin, it hurts," Danny breathed, shivering.

"It's okay. Just keep it still. Just relax, everything will be okay."

Dustin took off his orange jacket, and wrapped it around Danny's bare tan shoulders.

He held her close and leaned against the tree wall.

This is the closest I'll ever get, he thought. But I like it.

This is the closest I'll ever get, Danny thought amongst all her pain. This is bliss.

Whenever dark turns to night, and all the dreams

Sing their song, and the daylight forever.

Whenever dark turns to night, and all the dreams

Sing their song, and in the daylight forever.

There will be more parts, I just need time to think.
