 Chapter 9 : Rocket Pokemon Arena

Ash and Misty got to the arena early to register, there were other trainers that registered too, everyone having their eye set on winning the Porygon.

Ash:  I’m gonna beat everyone.

Misty:  Don’t get full of yourself.

Pikachu:  Pika kachu pika pi ((who’s the one battling here))

Half an hour later the arena was filled with spectators, it looked like a great sporting event, which it is, Pokemon Battle.  Ash sat on the side lines with the other trainers, Misty was next to him holding his hand waiting for the beginning match.  The lights dimmed and the spot lights focused on the center of the arena.  The announcer’s voice boomed loud and made a very big introduction.

Announcer:  Welcome Rockets to tonight’s Pokemon Battle!  We are packed here and ready to go.  We have an interesting line up for you, sixteen combatants have registered and are ready to battle.  Now let the arena begin!

The crowds cheered on as the trainers stood up getting ready, Ash had his hand by his side holding onto Misty’s and they were ready.

Announcer:  First up is Ash, a young man in his teens.  He may seem young but he is no push over, he will be challenging, the Crisco Kid, a tough upcoming Pokemon star.

Misty:  Hey Ash, good luck.

Ash:  I don’t need luck, I got skill.  And also I’ll be looking forward to my victory kiss.

Misty:  Okay!

Ash stood at his side of the arena and the other trainer at his side.  The lights focused on him and his opponent, Ash’s head was down and his cap covering his eyes.  The bell sounded and he raised his head and showed his eyes, turned his cap around and threw out his pokeball, to battle with his opponent.

Ash:  Bulbasaur I choose you!

Bulbasaur:  Bulbasaur ((let me at him))

Crisco K.:  I call upon you Graveler.

Ash:  Bulbasaur start off with razor leaf attack.

Crisco K:  Gravler Sesmic Toss!

Bulbasaur’s  razor leaf hit Gravler, giving the opening hit and advantage to Ash.  The match continued on quickly with Bulbasaur weakening Graveler with vine whip.  Ash told Bulbasaur to use his leachseed then followed up with tackle attack, it knocked Graveler out and Ash took the victory.

Ash:  Alright!

He did his pose as he stood in the spotlight with several people cheering and applauding.  He returned to his seat to let the next trainers duel.  He placed his pokemon on the special recharge sphere on the side to fully charge it and battle the next opponent.

Misty:  You did great out there.

Misty gave Ash a kiss on the cheek and Ash blushed red with his cap tilting a bit.  Misty was next but she had no problem defeating someone who had a powerful Onix.  The battles went on with some trainers advancing and some losing.  There were four trainers left, Ash, Misty, Clint, and Brooks.  Misty went out first to challenge Brooks to be a number one contender for the grand prize, but there was trouble.  Brooks who watched Misty battle noticed all her pokemon were water element, so Brooks battled her using a Jolteon.  The odds didn’t look go for Misty and she was defeated quickly.

Ash:  Misty, you gave it your best, you made it pretty far.

Misty:  I know, but I wish I could have won that Porygon.

Ash:  Well, who said I was gonna lose to you.

Misty:  What!?  Oh well nevermind, just beat the next trainer and hope you win.

Ash:  Alright, I’ll do it for you Misty.

Ash went to his side of the arena and did his opening pose with his cap down covering his eyes.  The bell rang and he called out Pideotto to battle against Clint’s Beedrill.  Both flying pokemon dodged and struck each other.  Just when Ash was about to lose, he told Pideotto to do his Razor Wind attack, Pideotto formed a whirlwind and stuck the Beedrill down.  Ash won.  He ran down to get a hug from Misty and to recharge Pidgeotto, the next match decides it all.  There was a brief intermission for the trainers and the audience to get some food or to go to the bathroom.  Ash sat on the bench and Misty came behind him and started to massage him, hyphening him up to win.

Misty:  Come’on Ash, you nearly lost there.  Ya gotta win, this stuff is easy compared to the Pokemon League.

Ash:  I know, this is good experience though.  I’m ready to take Brooks on.  Oh that feels nice Misty, where did you learn to massage?

Misty:  Nowhere, it feels good cause I’m doing it to you.

Ash:  Yeah, I love your touch.

Ash watched on as some of the workers started to reel in the prizes, Misty focused her attention on her massage and started to daydream a bit. One of the boxes tipped over and out fell a few sparkling things.  Ash saw it but he wasn’t sure if anyone else saw it.  What fell was two star looking things, two starmie earrings he thought it was, and a necklace of gold, two rings, and one other, a shinny silver pin, he couldn’t see what was on the pin, it was a split second but he took in and identified one of the hidden prizes.  The worker carefully placed the prize back in and started to wrap it.  It was then placed next to the grand prize, the porygon.  The break was over and the announcer went on again.

Announcer:  Welcome back.  Now in our last match to determine who gets the prize is Ash versus Brooks.  The battle will begin, trainers get to your positions.

Ash and Brooks got on opposite ends.  Ash did his beginning pose bit and Brooks carefully examined which Pokemon Ash will use.  So far he saw a Charrizard that didn’t like being told what to do, a Bulbasaur, a squirtle, and a Pidgeotto.  He sensed that Ash was gonna pull out something electrical next.  A Golem would be good right now.   The bell sounded and both trainers started.

Ash:  Pikachu Go!

Brooks:  Golem go!

And the match started.  Pikachu stared at the Golem waiting for the first move, and for an opening.  Ash didn’t flinch, even though it wasn’t in favor of him, Pikachu has the power to win any battle.  The Golem rushed in with a tackle and Pikachu jumped up to dodge.

Ash:  Pikachu, use your agility!  Evade Golem’s attacks.

Brooks:  Evading won’t win the battle, Golem Rock Throw, squash that Pikachu!

Pikachu dodge the rock throw and continued to evade, waiting for an opening.

Ash:  Pikachu, swift!  Lightly hit Golem to slow it down.

Brooks:  That attack won’t do a thing.

Stars few from Pikachu striking Golem but it didn’t hurt it much.  It showed minor scratches but that’s all it showed.  Pikachu continued to dodge and do swift, and then Ash saw the opening.  Golem jumped up and tried to flatten Pikachu but Pikachu dodged.

Ash:  Pikachu Flash!

Brooks:  What?

Pikachu flashed a blinding light all around, it had great impact that everyone had to cover their eyes.  Golem was hit hard and it was blinded.

Ash:  Alright, now go for the Maximum Thunder!!

Another bright flash shinned from Pikachu, the bolts flew high then down low and struck Golem.  When the final flashes faded Golem leaned over and fell.  Pikachu hopped around dancing for his victory.

Brooks:  No way, Golem is amune to electric attacks.

Ash:  ALRIGHT WE DID IT, YAHOO YAHOO!!!

Pikachu:  Pika pika!!  Pika pika!!  ((Win win, I win win))

Announcer: This arena’s winner is . . . ASH!!  Trainers, please select your prizes, from third, second, and winner.

Two workers rolled out the prize tray.  Ash looked over and saw two selections for himself.  Clint took his prize, a $200 certificate good at the Rocket Mall.  Brooks waited for Ash to make his selection, didn’t want to get in the way of the winner.  Ash stared at the pokeball with porygon in it.  He wanted it so much, he would have a rare pokemon on his side that could be super useful.  Then he turned around and saw Misty.

Misty *thinking* :  Wow, a porygon, I wonder what Ash is going to do with his porygon.

Ash:  I choose this mystery box!

Misty:  WHAT!?

Announcer:  Oh Ash chose the mystery box, it could contain gold and silver, rare things never been found, or hunks of junk worth nothing.

Misty:  Are you crazy Ash!  Take the porygon you idiot, that’s why you’re in this arena!

Too late, selection made and the worker handed Ash the mystery box.  Misty ran up to Ash and bonked him on the head.

Misty:  Now why did you do that for?  Now you could have junk in there?

Ash:  Actually, it could be something nice.

Misty:  Awwwww yeah right!  Let’s see what’s in here.

Just as Misty was about to open the wrapping Ash stopped her and held the box tight.

Ash:  Let’s take it outside and open it, if it is something of value then I might get mobbed.

Misty:  Who would want to take a piece of lead.

The exited the arena and stepped into the night.  It was a bright starry night with the moon lighting up the sky.  Ash held Misty’s hand and took her to the beach side, there were two empty beach chairs laid out and they took a sit there.

Misty:  So why do we need to open the box all the way over here.

Ash:  Well, it adds to the environment.

Misty:  What are you talking about Ash?

Ash:  This.

Ash opened the box, he pulled out a small case and opened it in front of Misty.  Inside was two diamond Starmie earrings, it shinned so brightly and twinkled along with the stars.  Misty’s eyes watered up as she was taken by it’s beauty, and Ash’s generosity.

Ash:  Here Misty.  These are for you.

Misty:  Oh Ash, Starmie earrings, they’re so beautiful.

Ash:  Yeah they are.  Hey my ears aren’t pierced anyway.

Misty fell over her chair, Ash sure knew how to start a moment, and break it.  But it was still very nice of him to give her his prize.

Ash:  Oh that’s not all.  I got a pokemon champion pin for myself.  There’s also a gold necklace here, and two rings.

Misty:  Wow!  Oh this is so . . . I don’t know what to say Ash.

Ash:  Well, how about, I love you for starters.

Misty:  Okay, I love you Ash.  Now can you put the necklace on me, I wanna see what I look like.

Misty turned around, Ash placed the necklace around Misty’s neck, Misty blushed deep red, not only did she receive wonderful gifts, also Ash’s putting it on her, it added extra and Misty felt like she could burst.  She turned around once it was on her, Ash was blushing back, Misty looked even more beautiful with the matching Starmie earrings and gold necklace.

Misty:  Well how do I look?

Ash:  Um . . . you look . . . you look like a . . .  an angel or something.

Ash lost his cool and just fell victim to the stuttering and nervous feeling of gazing something very beautiful.  Misty wanted to see what she looked like, the ocean was calm and maybe she could see her reflection.  She walked to the water and saw her reflection.  It wasn’t clear but her new jewelry sparkled brightly.  It was beautiful just to see it’s distorted shine, how much more if she saw herself in a mirror.  She saw a reflection of red and blue approaching her, she felt a arms hug her and chin lay on her shoulder, she turned around to give Ash a kiss, short but sweet.  Ash and Misty rocked together as they looked at the ocean and stars above.

Ash:  Your beautiful Misty.  There’s still more jewelry.  Two rings.

Misty:  Rings.  First earrings, then a necklace, now a rings.  I feel like a princess.

Ash:  Kinda like your dream back at the hotel that morning.

Misty gave Ash a gentle slap on the head, something cute.

Misty:  Well, I was the princess and you were my prince.

Ash:  That’s exactly what you said.

Misty:  I know, hey, can I see those rings.

Ash:  Here ya go Misty.

Ash handed Misty the tiny box with the rings.  She looked at them, it was paired together, a style of wearing these two rings together.  Misty grabbed one of Ash’s hands, held his ring finger, and put one ring on.  She took the other ring and put it on her finger.

Ash:  But aren’t these rings suppose to be together?

Misty:  Yeah, but I want you to have one.  This is our rings, our bond rings.  This shows that we are linked together.

Ash:  Okay.

Misty:  And to seal the deal.  A bonding kiss.

Misty turned around, hugged Ash tight, and gave him a very passionate kiss by the seashore of the beach.  They hugged tighter and kissed more, melting away within each other.  Pikachu and Togepi watched and sat where Ash and Misty were sitting.

Pikachu:  Pika pi pik chu pika pika.  ((Isn’t that romantic))

Togepi:  Prriiii prriii togi togi prrriiiii ((Ashy loves mommy, mommy loves Ashy))
