Ash awoke from a
nightmare. He heard a young girl talking. He couldn’t make out what she was
saying. “I could’ve sworn that I’d heard Misty talking to herself.” Ash crept
out of his tent and started for Misty’s. But by the time he’d gotten there,
she’d stopped. “Huh?” Ash crept quietly, quietly, into her tent. He saw her
curled up in 1 corner. A strange, blue aura was emanating from her body. He
laid down beside her. ‘Man, she’s hot!’ Ash thought to himself. Ash laid there
a while, thinking things over.
After a while,
he decided to go back to his tent. But he couldn’t move! Not even an inch!
‘Well, this is where I’ll be staying for the rest of the night, I guess.’ Ash
thought.
“I want you close
to me, Ash.” Misty suddenly blurted out.
“What?????????????”
Ash said, confused.
“I want you near
me, Ash. Close to me.” Misty repeated, suddenly wrapping her arm around Ash’s
waist. Ash was red all over. As red as a tomato. Misty pulled him closer to
her. Ash realized she had been talking in her sleep. Ah didn’t try to resist
her. It felt soothing to him. After what seemed like hours, she finally let go.
Ash closed his eyes.
All of a sudden,
a picture started playing through his mind. It was in Misty’s POV. He realized
this must have been the dream she had been having earlier. Misty was in Ash’s
room with himself. Ash was wearing a black tank top and a pair of red, silk
pajama pants. And Misty was wearing an XXL navy blue T-shirt and a pair of
black wind breaker pants.
Dream…
“Ash, I’ve been
needing to talk to you lately.” Misty said nervously.
“Yeah, Misty?”
Ash asked.
“Well, for 1
thing, I’ve been needing to tell you that I-I-I l-l-lo-lo-lo…” Misty stuttered.
“Just say it,
Misty! You know you can trust me!” Ash comforted. Ash put his arm around Misty,
pulling her into a tight hug.
“I love you,
Ash! I deeply and truly love you with all my heart, Ash!” Misty replied. She
then pulled Ash into a kiss that lasted for what seemed like hours.
“I love you too,
Misty! I really do!” Ash replied in between breathes. “But why didn’t you tell
me after all these years?!”
“Because…” Misty
replied.
“Because why?!”
Ash asked, annoyed.
“Heeheehee!
Because I was nervous, and I was afraid you would reject me, or you wouldn’t
like me in the same way!” Misty replied, blushing.
Misty’s Song
Ash: [yawns] Goodnight, Brock. Goodnight, Pikachu. Goodnight, Misty.
See you in the morning!
Misty: Goodnight, Ash! Sweet dreams.
(verse 1)
Out here in the quiet of the night
Beneath the stars and moon
We know we’ve both got somethin’ on our minds
We won’t admit but it’s true
You look at me
I look away
(chorus)
I wanna tell you what I’m feelin’
But I don’t know how to start
I wanna tell you, but now I’m afraid
That you might break my heart
Why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I’m feelin’ and to say that
I love you
(verse 2)
I practice all the things that I could say
Line by line, every word
I tell myself that today could be the day
But every time I lose my nerve
I look at you
You look away
(chorus)
Why?
Why do you turn away?
It must be you’re afraid like me
I try (try)
But I can’t pretend that I
Don’t feel for you the way I do
Can’t you see?
(chorus)
Ash: Did you say something, Misty?
Misty: Who me?! N-no, nothing! I-I didn’t say anything, Ash!
Goodnight!
“Come on, Misty!
You know me! And besides, you could’ve trusted me! I wouldn’t have told
anyone!” Ash replied, smiling.
“Well, ok,
awesome!” Misty retorted. “I’ve also wanted to tell you about my past, just to
get it off my shoulders. You would listen, right?”
“Yeah,
definitely!” Ash replied.
“Ok, cool!
Well..,” Misty started.
Flashback…
“Hey, Mommy! Is
it time to go yet??!!! Is it?!!” a little 5-year-old Misty asked her mom,
Dominique Waterflower.
“Almost, honey.”
Dominique replied.
“Oh darnit!”
Misty pouted.
“Don’t worry, my
little Misty. We’ll be on the
“Yeah!” Misty
squealed.
“Ok, ok! Just
have some patience. We’ll be there before you know it, ok?!” Dominique
reassured.
“Ok.” Misty
replied, sitting down on the floor and taking out her Pokeball to look at it.
It held her 1st and only Pokemon: Staryu. It had been a birthday present from
her dad.
“You be careful
with that, Misty. And when you see and/or use that Pokemon, please always
remember us, Ok?!” Misty’s dad, David, stated as he walked into the room.
“Ok, Daddy.”
Misty replied sweetly.
“Mom, Lilly
keeps chasing me with the blow drier!” an 11-year-old Daisy squealed, running
into the room, followed by a 13-year-old Lilly carrying a blow drier.
“But mom! She
kept hitting me with the damn pillow! And wouldn’t stop when I told her to!”
Lilly argued.
“Lilly! Don’t
cuss around your little sister!” Dominique yelled. “Daisy, if your sister tells
you to stop, you should!”
“But mom, I was
hitting her because she was reading my email, and I have a personal message
that I want no 1 to read! It would be totally embarrassing, if you know what I
mean!” Daisy argued.
“Ok, but still,
don’t hit your sister!” Dominique replied agrivatedly.
“Fine!” Daisy
and Lilly replied angrily.
At the airport…
Well, say
bye-bye
“Dad, that was
totally lame!” a 14-year-old Violet stated.
“Oh, sorry.”
David replied.
“Well, it’s
finally our turn to board the plane! Come on, you guys!” Dominique exclaimed.
“Uh, mom, we’re
not guys, we’re girls! Except for dad, of course.” Lilly pointed out, giggling
to herself.
“Sorry.”
Dominique replied, giggling to herself as well.
2 hours later,
arriving at
“I really hope
we don’t have to sit through that load of crap again! The in-flight movie
sucked!” Violet pointed out.
“You said it!”
Lilly and Daisy agreed.
“This is your
pilot speaking. We are going to be experiencing some minor turbulence. So we
suggest you fasten your seatbelts and put your seats in the upright positions.
We would appreciate it. We should be arriving at the
“Mommy, what’s
turbulence?” Misty asked.
“It just means
that some of the ride will be a bit bumpy.” Dominique replied.
“Oh, ok.” Misty
replied.
All of a sudden,
the plane began to descend at a quickening pace. Misty noticed that 1 of the
engines was burning. “Mommy, look! One of the engines is burning!” Misty
shouted worriedly.
“People, please
stay calm! I repeat, please stay calm!!” the pilot shouted. The whole plane
turned into chaos.
About 3 minutes
later, the back of the plane disintegrated. The deathly screams were like that
of a banshee. Two minutes later, the plane crashed into the ocean in an
explosion of fire.
Out of the
wreckage, came Misty clinging to her Staryu, and her sisters, clinging to their
Starmie. “Are you ok?!” Lilly, Daisy, and Violet asked Misty.
“Yeah, I think
so. What about you?” Misty replied.
“Yeah, we’re
good.” Misty’s sisters retorted.
“Where’s Mommy
and Daddy?” Misty asked.
“They’re
uh…uhhh…dead.” Violet replied, tears streaming down her face.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Misty cried. Violet, Daisy, and Lilly went over to Misty and pulled her into a
hug.
“Let’s try and
head for shore.” Lilly suggested, pointing to the beach on the horizon.
“Ok.” Misty and
her other sisters replied. And with that, they commanded their Pokemon to take
them to shore.
End flashback…
“…Me and my
sisters are the only Waterflowers left!” Misty finished, a tear trailing its
way down her face.
“Oh Misty,
that’s awful!” Ash replied. “Come here.” Ash signaled Misty to come closer. He
kissed her on the cheek and pulled her into a tight hug. Misty started crying
into his shirt.
After about 5
minutes, Ash told Misty that he was gonna head on to bed. He got up, and
slumped onto his bed, his head facing away from Misty. All of a sudden, Misty
slumped down next to Ash. Ash turned as read as a strawberry. Misty wrapped her
arm around his waist.
End dream…
Everything
suddenly went blank. Ash opened his eyes. ‘Wow’ Ash thought to himself. ‘I had
no idea Misty felt so strongly for me!’ Ash decided to go back to his tent. He
was surprised to find that he could get back up. He then realized that the blue
aura that had been surrounding Misty had vanished. ‘How strange.’ Ash thought.
He quietly crept
out of Misty’s tent and started to head back to his tent. He took 1 last look
back at Misty’s tent. When he did, he noticed that a red light coming from the
inside of Misty’s tent was illuminating the area around her tent. As quickly as
it had appeared, it disappeared.
He opened up his
tent and stepped inside. ‘What the hell’s goin’ on?!’ Ash asked himself.
‘First, Misty’s talking in her sleep, which she’s never done before as far as I
know. Then, she’s glowing with a blue aura. Then I can’t move from my spot next
to her. Then, I’m witnessing 1 of her dreams, 1 about me of all people! And
just now, a red light was illuminating the area around her tent!! How freikin’ weird!’
Meanwhile, in
Brock’s tent…
“Yes, this is
perfect! All I have to do is get Ash into Misty’s tent and stripped down to his
boxers” Brock said to himself, laughing silently. “Then, it’ll be the best dang
prank I’ve ever pulled!!”
Brock crept
quietly to Ash’s tent. He picked Ash up and started to carry him out of the
tent. When he was about out of the tent, Ash squirmed just a bit. Brock froze
in his tracks for a few seconds before continuing towards Misty’s tent.
Once he got
there, he set Ash down and started to undress him. He threw his clothes into
the corner – Ash Ketchum style – so that Misty would think that this was all
Ash’s doing. ‘Yes, this is so sweet!’ Brock told himself.
Once he was
finished, he set Ash down next to Misty. He then took her top, bra, suspenders,
and shorts off of her and threw them in the corner. He then unzipped her
sleeping bag.
He was about to
put Ash in her sleeping bag, when she started to move around for a few seconds.
Brock froze. Once he knew it was safe, he put Ash in her sleeping bag, and
zipped it back up. He then turned them towards each other and put 1 of Ash’s
arms around her waist.
He then crept back
to his tent. “Man, this is good!” Brock said to himself quietly. He got in his
sleeping bag and started laughing quietly. He laughed himself to sleep.
The next
morning…
Ash woke up to
the feel of something warm against his chest. Something soft and wet was
against his waist.
He opened his eyes to see Misty still
sleeping. ‘Oh crap!’ Ash thought. He realized he only had his boxers on, and
she just had a pair of panties on. From the feel of it, he was hard. From the
feel of it, Misty was really horny.
Misty soon woke
up to something stiff against her waist and something warm against her chest.
Her panties were wet with something other than urine. ‘Why the hell am I
horny???’ Misty asked herself.
Misty opened her
eyes to see Ash! From the look and feel of it he was only in his boxers, and
was hard. “Ahhhhh! Ash Ketchum, you pervert!” Misty screamed, tearing out of
her sleeping back and grabbing something to strike him with. She was about to
hit him when she froze. She realized she didn’t have a top or bra on. Ash was
red all over. She quickly dropped the mallet and hid herself.
She quickly
kicked Ash in the gonads and grabbed her shirt. She gave him a look that sent
him running out of her tent, screaming. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Ash screamed,
running as fast as possible from Misty’s tent.
“What’s wrong
Ash?!” Brock asked, snickering.
“I somehow woke
up in Misty’s tent with nothing but boxers on! I was in her sleeping bag, and
she had nothin’ on except for a pair of panties!” Ash replied. “And now she’s
blaming me for it!”
“But it was you,
wasn’t it?!” Brock asked, still snickering.
“No, it wasn’t!”
Ash replied. “Hey, wait a minute! You did it, didn’t you?!”
“And what if I
did?!” Brock laughed.
“I’m gonna
freikin’ kill you, Brock!! You set me up!” Ash yelled. “So what if I like her?!
It’s not like I’d go and try to have sex with her!”
“So?!” Brock
laughed.
“You are so
gonna tell her that you did it! You got that?!!” Ash yelled.
“No I am not!”
Brock replied.
“Yeah, you are!”
Ash argued.
“Or what?!”
Brock snapped back.
“Or I’m gonna
kick your ass!!!” Ash cried.
“Ok, ok! I’ll
tell her! Just don’t hurt me!” Brock surrendered.
“That’s more
like it!” Ash replied.
Just then, Misty
came out of her tent, fully dressed, carrying an empty Sobe bottle. “ASH
KETCHUM!!!” Misty screamed furiously.
“Tell her!” Ash
yelled.
“Fine!” Brock
replied. “Misty, I was the 1 who set you and Ash up in your tent. There, you
happy?!”
“Yes I am!” Ash
replied, grinning. ‘He is so gonna get it now!’
“Don’t be a
smartass, Ash!” Brock replied, annoyed.
“ARGH!!!” Misty
cried, rushing at Brock.
“Oh Shit!” Brock
cried, and he turned to run, but it was too late. Misty cracked him hard on the
head with the bottle, breaking it. “Thanks a lot, Misty! Now I’m bleeding!”
“You’re
welcome!” Misty giggled. Ash and Misty couldn’t take it anymore, and they both
burst out laughing.
“It’s not
funny!” Brock yelled.
“Yeah it is!”
Misty replied.
“Guys, look!”
Ash said, pointing at a beautiful city at the bottom of the hill they were on.
“Wow! Its
beautiful!” Misty exclaimed.
“Yeah!” Brock
replied.
“Last 1 there’s
a Slowking!” Ash challenged, running for the city. ‘What’s a city like this
doing here in the middle of the desert?!” Ash wondered.
“Hey, no fair!”
Misty cried, following Ash.
“Yeah!” Brock
replied. Following behind Ash and Misty.
Once they got to
the entrance, they saw a sign that said ‘Welcome to
“Ok!” Misty and
Brock replied. And they were off to explore this enormous and beautiful city.
