Chapter One - The passing years

It has already been eight years after the end of the adventure. Ash and Misty have been

growing up in the same house for those eight years. And in that time the town has become a small

city. Apartments and hotels cover the landscape. The port busies the city with sea trade.

Trainers have come and gone. By now a new gym is being built. However it is only to train

pokemon not battle them against others. The sunset has past many times in these eight years, so

has love. Yet one long lasting relationship has been kept. Ash and Misty's. Ever since their

arrival in Pallet, they have done so many things. Only dates seem to be scarce. Ash has entered

college. Misty has almost finished. The long grueling years have been tough. And in those years,

trophies from pokemon tournaments have been collected by none other than Ash Ketchum. Gary Oak has moved on and into Saffron City to live there. Many of the people who live in this city are

not trainers. Usually businessmen have come to work in Pallet.

It is now morning in the middle of November at the Ketchum residence.

"We have to get to school Ash," a young womanly voice calls.

It is Misty Lynn Waterflower she is now dropped her duties as gym leader and is now in the

beginning of her senior year in college. She has matured over this long period of time and has

grown significantly in many ways, some more than others. Yet maturity still needs to be worked

on, she has left some of her younger immature self inside of her. Her tomboyish attitude has

gone away into a beautiful and talented young woman. Mrs. Ketchum thinks of her as a daughter

now, yet she is very different. She has changed her hair color several times from red-head to brunette, and from that now to a blonde, well a dark blonde. Along with that her hair has grown

all the way to the middle of her back. Actually, Ash didn't mind the sexy black haired Misty of

then, now she's a blonde, still a nice consolation. She has been liked by many boys and asked

out many times. She only responds 'I've already got someone,' yet the question appears endless

times. She is studying to be an actor and will be graduationg soon.

"I'll be there in a minute. Hold on," a male's voice responds.

And here is Ash Christopher Ketchum. This Pokemon Master is now in many columns of the

Pokemon Times and Pokemon Today. How one matures over few years is very amazing. Ash's strange

actions have now become calm and gentle. Misty has told him about that so he felt he had to

change. He has changed that childish way and has become more well as we said, mature. His voice

has changed to be much more clearer. His hair is now combed and well kept yet easily messed up,

which seems to happen whenever he disappears with Misty. For these passing years, Pikachu has

changed very little, as little as he is. He is still the fun loving spirit and concerned little friend he has always been. Just one inch taller. Pikachu has changed his diet little too.

Ketchup whenever possible. Pikachu now stays at home helping Ash's mom with the housework.

Anyway, Ash is studying law and Pokemon. "Are you sure, it's only eight. Our first classes are at nine," Ash calls.

"Mine isn't Ash, remember I have a new class. The teacher gets in much earlier." Misty

responds.

"Fine, in a minute." Ash takes his Pokeballs and starts to head for the door.

Ash then finds himself hopping over Pikachu, and starts to stagger. Yet as Ash and Misty

head out the door Pikachu starts running after them. "Pi pi......CHU!!!!!"[Hey wait.....CHU!!!!] Pikachu takes a bolting charge at Ash with a

long distance thundershock. Ash stands in the middle of the driveway, scorched. "Yeah Pikachu, I forgot." Ash stands stunned while Pikachu hands him lunch money.

In one of Ash's many classes he has learned Pokemon languages. It may sound all the same yet

inteligent trainers can understand their Pokemon. Ash understands his very best friend incredibly well.

Ash and Misty leave the house and lock it. The two do drive, but it's more customary for

people to walk in Pallet. They find it more couple-like to. After a romantic walk past the beach, they finally arrive at Pallet University.

"Remember, our date is at eight, not seven. I have another class but only tonight, Ash,"

Misty reminded him. Ash, for as long as he could remember, had been going out with Misty ever since they returned form their journey. Misty felt that even before they came to Pallet they

started dating like on the way home.

Ash remebered that day quite vaguely, but retained some of it. He recalled that as soon as

they arrived, Misty's sisters stood outside the Cerulean Gym. Misty explained to them that she

had no intention of leaving Ash. Her understanding sisters left her to live her own life. Ever

since Misty left, either she or her sisters called at least twice a month. They do, however,

come by every year for Misty's birthday and for Christmas. Ash snapped out and started to focus

on the task at hand, or perhaps the person IN hand.

"Did you say something? Oh, our date. I remember, it's at eight tonight. I'll be waiting at

home," Ash said. He had to give himself time to wake up. Misty smiled and kissed him for the

day's good luck and they headed off for their classes * * * * * * * * * *

Ash finished up the last question in his Civil Rights test, left class, and started walking

home. He felt really lucky tonight. It was the day he dreamed of. He had waited so long for

this. Ash stayed up all night thinking of what he had to say tonight, of what all he had to do

tonight.

He cleared the mist off the bathroom mirror. Put on some shirt and shorts and went to his

room. Misty was in her room changing. He took out his suit and started to put it on.

Misty looked through her entire wardrobe looking fro her favorite dress. She started to

wonder why Ash asked her to get her best dress for tonight. She shrugged the thought away and

kept looking. There it was, the dress among dresses. The best of the best. Her blue shinny and

shimmery dress. She liked that little cut on the side for her leg. It had no back with only

strings cris-crossing from one side to another. It was the same dress she wore to her high

school prom. She looked at herself in the mirror and held it up the way she always did. 'Did I

lose weight or what?' she thought to herself. She tried it on and it felt a little more baggy.

Maybe it was her, she pulled it down a bit to make it tighten. 'Maybe I did get thinner,' she

thought. Again she shrugged it off and then started to look for a matching pair of shoes.

* * * * * * * * * *

Ash drove all the way to downtown to look for Misty's favorite restaurant. Misty wondered

why Ash was so looking forward to this date, and why so formal? She looked around the city. It

felt more glittery. It felt like the whole world knew what was doing and Misty didn't have a

clue.

They finally stopped in front of the most beautiful restaurant in the entire city, Cafe

L'amour. Misty loved this place the only horrible thing about it was the ten dollar a person

table. Above all other things, she liked it here relaxing music and extremely romantic.

They sat down and were given menus. After a few minutes the waiter came by and took their

orders. He then disappeared into the kitchen.

After a silent dinner and a lot of eye contact, mood music played and Misty was in the mood

to dance.

"Ash, do you wanna dance?" Misty asked.

"Um.. Sure why not?" Ash took her hand and they went to the dance floor. They danced for

what felt like hours. Misty quite enjoyed herself. After the tenth dance, Ash was well past

tired and the two decided to sit down for a while. Ash realized that this was the most perfect

time to what he had to do. He had to.

After thinking silently to himself he then started to speak.

"Um, Misty we've known each other for almost ten years now right?" Ash asked.

"Well yes, what about?" She questioned.

"Well, you know we've grown in this most wonderful relationship for such a long time. And,

well I just.. I love you. I love you so much Misty," Misty started to twitch and shiver as if

she were cold. She felt this chill flow over her. Yet it felt, nice. Romantic even. Misty tried

to say something yet nothing would come out. Her lips wouldn't even move.

Ash reached into his left pocket, "That's why I want to ask you....

End of Chapter One
