Ash, lana and Brock where now staying at Ash's house in Pallet Town. They where staying here after Ash lost in the Sinnoh League in the 4th round by none other than Paul. It was not losing the match that made Ash upset; it was that he lost to him.
There was a lot of things that lana learned about Ash while she was staying in Pallet Town like the sheer amount of Pokemon that belonged to him that were staying at Professor Oak's laboratory. But the thing she learned about Ash was that shocked her most was that he could play the guitar. This also shocked Brock, Ash's long time friend as he never knew that Ash could even play an instrument. After that they all knew that Ash could play the guitar, they kept pestering him to play a song, but Ash kept making the excuse that he forgot how to play it.
It was night time in the Ketchum residence as everyone was fast asleep, except for lana, who had woken up in the middle of the night due to being thirsty. She came out of Ash's room which is where she was sleeping and quietly made her way downstairs, trying to not wake anyone up to get a glass of water.
As she got downstairs and got her glass of water, she was about to go back upstairs when she heard some rustling in the living room. Deciding to investigate, she peeked through the crack of where the door was open to see Ash getting out his guitar from its case. He then sat down on one of the chairs and started to play, and sing!

"lana…" Ash sighed to himself as he finished the song.
The glass of water that was still in lana's hand suddenly dropped to the ground with a loud smash. She had never guessed that Ash could play the guitar that well, and sing great as well. And that song was all for her…
The noise of the glass shattering startled Ash as he put his guitar away.
"Who's there?" Ash called out.
The door then slowly opened to show a shocked lana. It took Ash a minute to realise that lana had listened the entire time.
"lana… I…" Ash's sentence was cut off by a warm embrace that lana had just given him.
"Thank you." lana whispered while still holding Ash in the hug.
Ash was confused.
"Thank you for the song, i-it was really beautiful." lana said.
"lana, look. Ever since I met you, I have had these strange feelings for you. At first I thought it was a small crush but it slowly developed into l-love." Ash confessed while still struggling to say the lat word.
"I love you lana." Ash sighed as he knew he had said it. The three words he had been dying to tell her for so long now.
"I love you too Ash." lana said.
Ash's eyes widened as his jaw dropped to the floor.
"R-Really?" Ash said disbelieved.
"Yeah, I guess I had strong feelings for a long time about you too but I never had the courage to tell you." lana replied.
Ash grinned, realising that lana went through the same thing he went through.
They then looked in each others eyes locked in their gaze until they leaned closer into each other, they where so close they could feel the other's breath on their necks. Then their lips met. They were both in heaven, doing what they had been dreaming of doing for a very long time.
Unfortunately for Ash and lana their kiss was broken when they heard Brocks voice.
"It's about time!
the next morning Ash's mom saw him and lana sleeping together on the couch she went to make breakfast for all of them 10 minutes later ash and lana woke up and walked hand in hand to the kitchen and his mom saw them holding hands and she said so Is this true that my little man is now dating he said yes mom it is true I love her a lot and figured that she loved Me Too! So we would start dating his mom said congratulations to them he said after we all eat breakfast i have to songs to sing for you guys they all eat then he said Come to the living Room so i can play the 2 songs that I made for lana they did he started by singing this song

than he sang them this song
lana looks at me, I fake a smile so she won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
lana talks to me, I laugh 'cause it is just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when she's with me
SHe says she's so in love, she's finally got it right,
I wonder if she knows she's all I think about at night
She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
she's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
lana walks by me, can she tell that I can't breathe?
And there she goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
she's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
she's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put her picture up and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
Because she's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
she's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
she's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And she's all that I need to fall into
lana looks at me, I fake a smile so she won't see
She hugged him and said those songs were beautiful the next day he and lana went back to Sinnoh And went to her house she told him to stay outside and he did She went in and said mom I got a surprise she said what she said come in ash did and she said me and ash are dating and she said congratulations lana said do you want to hear the songs he made for me she said yes i do so he got out his guitar and he started by singing this song
It's all about my baby yeah it's all about lana

On the way to Cerulean city our heroes got caught in the rain while walking through the forest. As they ran through the forest heading for the nearest Pokémon center lana started to tremble. As an act of kindness and sympathy Ash took off his jacket and placed it around her shoulder she smiled meekly at him and he smiled back as they continued to run. Finally they reached Cerulean city and they headed for the Pokémon center when things took a turn for the worse. lana's uncontrollable trembling sent her careening to the ground. Ash turned around to see his friend lying on the pavement shaking like an earthquake
"lana?" he asked as he placed a hand on her shoulder
"It's so cold… but I feel so hot…" she mumbled
"Come on lana. We can't stay here" he said and he tried to help her to her feet but she couldn't keep her grip on the ground.
"Alright, come on lana. We're getting out of here" he said and placed her on his back and started walking
"Do you know where's the hospital in the this town?" he asked
"There is no hospital in Cerulean. Remember the time you had Magicarp poisoning? lana had to go the gym to get the antidote for you from the gym because there was no other option" said Brock
"Well is there a clinic somewhere nearby?"
"Not anywhere close. Our closest bet is the Pokémon center"
"Great…" said Ash through gritted teeth as they walked through the doors of the Pokémon center. Nurse joy saw him carry lana on his back and rushed over towards him
"What's wrong, is she alright?"
"She's sick. Nurse Joy, you have to help us…" said Ash and set lana down on a stretcher. Her face was almost as red as her bandana and she was breathing deep, hollow breathes. Nurse joy placed her hand on the girl's head
"She's burning up…" she said in a concerned voice
"Alright I'll do what I can. You guys can wait in the lobby"
"Wait, Nurse Joy is she going to be…" began Ash
"Alright?..." he finished as she disappeared behind the treatment room doors. He lowered his head sadly. Brock placed a hand on his friend's shoulder
"Don't worry Ash. lana's in good hands"
"Yeah…" he suddenly felt a shudder and realized he's cold
"We'd better change into some dry clothes before we all get sick" he said.
The three youngsters spent the next few hours sitting in front of a lit fireplace, curled up in blankets. Ash sat there staring by the fire in silence, letting its buzzing warmth and heat consume him… finally he heard a sound and looked up.
The doors to the treatment room opened and nurse joy wheeled lana out of it. Ash got up quickly and walked over to look at her. She had an IV tube in her arm, sending cold fluids into her body via her vein. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing a little more peacefully now but her face was still red.
"How is she?"
"She's better now, but her fever is still high. I'll be placing her under observation for the night. I'd like to keep an eye on her but I have other obligations…"
"I'll do it" said Ash automatically.
Seeming slightly surprised by his quick eagerness to help Nurse Joy gave him instructions on what to do in case of emergency and with that she wheeled her to a dark room where lana would spend the rest of the night. Ash pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. Wanting to give them some privacy, Harper and Sarah and Brock went to sleep in a separate room, leaving ash and lana by themselves…
Ash spent the next hour holding lana's palm as she slept; and the next hour and then the one that came after that. Before long he started feeling tired. He struggled to keep his eyes open. He rubbed his eyes and sighed. He looked out the window and saw the sky was pitch black. Beside lana's head, lay Pikachu, curled up in a ball as he slept. Ash extended his hand and scratched his little buddy behind the ears.
"Cha…" he purred in his sleep. Ash leaned back against the backrest of the chair and sighed again. He looked at his wrist watch.
"One thirty in the morning…" he said softly. He shook his head in an attempt to wake himself up. The results were only temporary and short lived. He could feel the soft mattress calling for him and without noticing he slowly set his head down on the bed beside lana. Next thing he knew he was out; but not for long.
Ash was woken up by hearing lana cough sickly. He looked up and saw the fluids bag was empty. He hurried to the refrigerator and replaced it. He could see and hear lana wince as the cold water reentered her body but he sighed with relief when he saw she stopped couching. He checked his watch again.
"Four thirty in the morning…" he said and sighed
"Another fifty minutes till morning…"
"I'd better check her temperature…" he said and placed a thermometer in her mouth. Shortly afterwards the little device beeped its signal and Ash removed it.
"42 degrees C… still not good…" he said and helped lana swallow some medicine. He then sat back down and looked at her. He felt sorry for his friend. He's not used to seeing her in such a hopeless state. He placed his hand on her palm again and rubbed it slightly
"Hang in there lana… you're gonna be alright…" he said and withdrew his hand. He sat there for a while looking at her as he slowly drifted to sleep again. But once more his rest was short lived. He heard lana groan and he woke up. He saw she was uncomfortable and was trying to move. Then she opened her eyes. Those little blue orbs moved in their sockets for a while, observing their new surroundings until they rested on Ash.
"Ash?"
"Yeah, lana. It's me. How do you feel?"
"Horrible. Where am I?"
"You're in the Pokémon center. You blacked out remember?"
"I did?"
"Yeah. It was raining last night and you got sick"
"That explains why my head is throbbing. But how did I end up here?"
"After you passed out, I realized you couldn't walk so I carried you here"
"You… carried me?" she asked surprised by his efforts
"Yeah"
She smiled
"Thanks Ash. That's really kind and sweet of you"
He smiled back
"You're welcome" he said.
After an eerie silence lana spoke,
"Hey Ash I don't suppose there's any food in the center is there?"
Ash's smile broadened. lana getting back her appetite is a good sign
"Sure. I'll go get you some breakfast" he said
"Thank you" said the girl as he left the room
"What a sweet guy… it's no matter I love him… wait, did I just say I love him? Or is that the fever talking?..."
"Nah…" she dismissed the thought and waited patiently for Ash to return and so he did with a tray of food containing, an omelet, toast, salad and some orange juice.
"Here you go lana" he said and placed it on her lap
"Thanks, Ash" she said meekly trying to hide the blush on her face and tried lifting her arms but they were too heavy. She tried using one to pick up the other but even that was too painful. Feeling terribly embarrassed by what she was about to ask, her blush intensified.
"Hey Ash?"
"Hmm?"
'You think you could… help me?" she winced
"Help you?"
"Yeah help me. I'm so week I can barely move my arms. You think you could help me out?"
Feeling sympathy for her condition Ash smiled
"Of course, lana" he said and poked the fork with her beaten eggs and placed it in her mouth. She chewed slowly and swallowed
"That tastes good" she smiled
"I'm glad. Come on here's another" he said and helped her eat the rest of her omelet and did the same thing with her bread and salad. By the time she was done eating she was able to drink her juice by herself, to which she was thankful.
"Thank you Ash. You're the greatest" she smiled, looking a little perkier now.
"You're welcome lana" said the boy and set the tray aside.
"Now let's check your temperature" said the boy and placed the thermometer in her mouth. When it gave him the signal he was relieved by what he saw
"40 degrees C" he smiled
"Isn't that a little high?"
"It is. But earlier your fever was 42 so we're making progress"
"Well at least that…" said lana and yawned while placing a hand over her mouth.
"Well I think I'm gonna take a nap. Thanks for being so good to me, Ash…" she smiled
He smiled back.
"You're welcome…" he said as his friend turned around and curled under her blanket. Ash then realized that he was tired too. He looked at his watch
"7:20 AM" he yawned
"maybe I'll take a nap too…" he said and rested his head on the mattress and fell straight to sleep. As the two slept, Nurse Joy came in to check on them. She smiled when she saw the two youngsters sleeping beside each other. Her heart broadened when she saw that the boy brought breakfast in bed for his friend
"What a gentlemen… she's such a lucky girl…" she thought and replaced lana's infusion bag and placed a hand over her forehead and was glad that her temperature went down. Nurse joy picked up a blanket from a nearby bed and placed it around the boy's shoulders' tucking him in
"You did good Ash…" she said softly and left the room. In the hallway she was greeted by the others
"How is she?" asked Harper and Sarah
"She's doing better. Her friend is very devoted to her. She's a lucky to have him"
"Yeah…" agreed Harper and Sarah
"Can we go see them?"
"You can but be quite. They're both sleeping. They both seem really tired"
"Right" said the boy and they entered the room. When they did Harper and Sarah smiled. He could see Ash had his head on the mattress but lana had her palm placed gently on his. He crossed his arms.
"Looks like you finally got it figured out big sister…"
They stood there for a few minutes observing the two lovebirds before heading out to the lobby to get some breakfast themselves.
Ash and lana slept till noon. When they woke up it was time for lunch and once again Ash brought her lunch in bed. Thankfully she was strong enough to eat by herself but not strong enough to walk. By dinner she was able to sit up while eating instead of lying down. That night Ash fell asleep with his head on her stomach. When they came to the next morning they didn't react as embarrassed as they thought they would. Instead they just blushed and smiled and laced their hands in one another and went back to sleep; only to be found by Nurse Joy, who couldn't help but smile. After breakfast Ash took lana's temperature again and was glad it was almost back to normal. Just half a degree left to go. That night lana slept more peacefully than she did in days and when she woke up the next morning she felt good as new. She opened her eyes to find the room dark again. She looked at the clock on the wall. It read 2:00 AM. She looked down to see Ash having his head resting on her belly again. She stroked his hair slightly as he stirred and woke up. He looked up to see her smiling at him. He got up and faced her
"lana, how do you feel?"
"Never better" she smiled and he smiled back
"I'm glad"
After a short silence she spoke
"Listen there's something I want you to have…"
"What's that?"
"Close your eyes…" she instructed and he did. Unbeknownst to him she was moving closer to him until their lips met, thus electrocuting him. He could feel the adrenaline and passion go through his veins. After a second or two he relaxed and kissed her back. He placed his hands around her neck as she did the same with his. Finally they parted.
"I love you Ash… you're the best…"
"I love you too… lana, I love you too…" he said and they hugged each other tightly. Before long they fell into a deep peaceful slumber only to fall asleep in each other arms….
And they couldn't be happier about it And they lived happily ever after
out, his mom came running out the kitchen "Ash your awake!" his mom said running over and throwing her arms around her son tightly
"Mom your killing me."Ash said trying to breath "Oh I'm sorry dear." His mom said letting go of her son "I'm just so happy that your okay." Ash smiled a little but changed the subject "Mom have you seen lana?" Ash asked "Oh yes Drew took her down by the lake…He didn't look to happy though." His mom said Ash nodded at this and started to walk out the door, as he was walking out he noticed his dads old black leather jacket he took it and put it on it fit perfectly "You look just like your father." His mom said when she saw her son in the leather jacket, Ash then procedded to walk out the door and headed to the lake.
When he arrived at the hill overlooking the lake he looked down and saw lana with Drew they looked as if they were arguing about something and Harper and Sarah was sitting under the tree with Pikachu watching with a almost fearful look on his face.
Ash quietly approached them but they were so angry that it didn't matter how loudly he approached they wouldn't hear him. When he was only about ten feet away he could hear what they were saying "Well At least he tried to rescue me Drew I didn't see you there!" lana yelled "I had other things to attend to!" Drew yelled back "You had more important things to attend to do you realize I could have died!" When lana finished yelling this Drew looked at her angrily "Yea but you didn't." he said flipping his hair lana looked at him with disgust and shook her head "I cant believe I thought I loved you you're such a coward." "What did you call me?" Drew said approaching her "You want me to say it louder you're a COWARD Drew a COWARD!" lana yelled getting in Drews face, Drew's hand shot out and grabbed her by the collar and held his fist up in a threatening manner
HEY!" Ash yelled walking closer to Drew "Ash your awake!" lana said surprised, Drew let go of lana and turned to Ash "Hey this isn't your business Ketchum!" Drew said walking over to Ash "It just became my business Drew." Ash said standing his ground, Drew scoffed at Ash and then hit Ash's hat off his head having it land beside him "Go ahead Ketchum pick it up." Drew said pointing at the hat, Ash looked at Drew dead in the eye and then grabbed him by the collar reeling his fist back about to strike him in the face but lana stepped in between the two causing Ash let go of Drew's collar and back up a little.
"maybe we should all calm down and just take a breather." lana said trying to ease the tension, Drew took lanas hand off him "No I think Ash here wants to fight don't you Ash." Drew said approaching Ash, lana again tried to keep Drew away but this time Drew grabbed lana's hand and then with his right hand slapped her across the face sending her to the floor "lana!" Ash exclaimed, kneeling down and picking her up in his arms "lana are you ok?" lana whimpered a bit but nodded with tears in her eyes "Shouldn't have gotten in the way lana." Drew said popping his knuckles Ash went and gently set her down by his hat.
Ash reached over and grabbed his hat and put it on cocking it to the right, he slowly stood up and turned to face Drew "You knocked her down now why don't you try knocking me down." Ash said slowly walking over to Drew. Drew ran at Ash trying to tackle him but Ash was quicker sending out a right hook to his face knocking him to the ground, Drew quickly stood back up Ash came after him throwing a straight jab to his face followed by a left uppercut to his stomach then a another right hook he finished with a left cross, Drew fell to floor with the wind knocked out of him. Ash looked at Drew for a second then turned back to lana who was pointing behind him "Ash watch out!" lana yelled, Ash turned in time to see Drew's fist make contact with his nose Ash stumbled back Drew took advantage of this and tackled him to the ground, he got on top of Ash and started to hammer Ash's face, Ash was trying to keep his guard up but couldn't "Not…So…Tough…Now!" Drew said in between hitting Ash, Ash managed to roll back and put his feet around Drew's neck and pulled him down to the ground giving him the chance to get up, Ash stumbled back up and tried to rub the blood away from his face, Ash looked down at his hand it was covered with his blood Ash looked at Drew who was walking over about to hit Ash, he came at him with a left hook, Ash caught it catching Drew off guard and leaving him open giving Ash the opportunity to start hitting his ribs and lungs, Ash started to uppercut in Drew's lungs knocking the wind out of him and finally pushing him to the ground. Drew was on the ground trying to breath but looked like a fish out of water Ash turned back around to lana, Harper and Sarah was now by her side watching the whole thing unfold
"Hey Harper and Sarah how you doing." Ash said walking over wiping his face "He's doing a lot better than you'll be Ketchum!" Drew yelled, he came up behind Ash grabbing him in a tight bear hug constricting his breathing Ash yelled out in pain but Drew kept squeezing Ash managed to throw his head back onto Drews causing him to loosen his hold allowing Ash to get out and reverse it he picked Drew up and threw him on the ground head first causing Ash to fall a little also he stood up quickly and backed up a few feet, Drew getting up held up his guard and walked towards Ash, Ash threw two jabs and a cross on Drew's chest and face stunning him, but still Drew came at Ash with a right hook making contact with the side of Ash's head Ash dropped his guard giving Drew the opputunity to hit his stomach and face, one particular punch hit Ash right below the eye cutting him.
Ash walked back a little with his left hand holding his eye he held up his right hand as if to say stop. Drew smirked at this and started hitting Ash in the face with four right hooks Ash trying to stay conscious gave Drew a haymaker (Type of punch) sending Drew to the ground with his hand on his face Drew got up but this time Ash was determined to end the fight and with all his strength hit him with a left hook to the side of the head a jab cross combo to face and chest and then an right uppercut under his chin sending Drew in the air and landing on the floor un conscious.
Ash looked at him breathing hard then said "That was for making me waste 25 dollars on ice cream." Ash turned back to lana he walked over to her limping a little. "Come on lets go home." Ash said holding out his hand for lana to take, she looked at it then smiled and took it "Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed jumping on Ash's shoulder "Hey there Pikachu it's good to see you also." Ash said petting his Pokemon "Well guys what do you say we all go home." Ash asked "Sounds great to me!" Harper and Sarah said eagerly running ahead of Ash and lana, Pikachu even jumped off of Ash's shoulder and ran beside Harper and Sarah as he took off back to the house "He sure is eager to get home." Ash said smiling "Yea we probably shouldn't let him get to far ahead." lana said, Ash nodded and the two began walking toward the house.
Back at the house Ash and lana were standing on the porch talking "So it might not be any of my business but why exactly where you and Drew fighting?" Ash asked standing on the porch with lana by his side, lana smiled a bit "Drew was angry because I told him that we need to break up because I'm starting to fall for another guy who is sweet, charming, funny, good looking, and brave." She said leaning in closer to Ash "He sounds like a keeper I guess I don't have a chance do I." Ash said leaning in closer to lana, lana smiled and together they gently touched each other's lips Ash pulled lana closer to him and together they stood there embracing each other in a warm passionate kiss where time itself seemed to stop. Ash slowly pulled away and looked deep into lana's beautiful sapphire eyes "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Ash said lana smiled and leaned in for another kiss but was interrupted "Well would you look at this Misty." Brock said approaching the two lovers "Hey Brock thanks for ruining the moment." Ash said to his long time friend "Anytime." Brock said with a bow, he and Misty climbed up to the porch and stood in front of them "You should of told us you were awake!" Misty said hitting Ash in the shoulder "Oh yea sorry about that." Ash said apologetically "Hey kids do you mind giving me a hand." Mrs. Ketchum said holding an arm full of groceries, Brock and Misty ran over and took the groceries from Mrs. Ketchum's hands and walked in with them Mrs. Ketchum followed but stopped in front of Ash and lana "Ash I know she's pretty but try to come inside soon ok." She said, Ash blushed a little embarrassed, when his Mom went in lana let out a giggle "Come on Ash better not keep her waiting." She said giving Ash a quick kiss on the cheek and opening the door, Ash looked at her for a little bit "Well are you coming?" lana asked holding the door, Ash smiled and putting his arm around lanas shoulder walked inside.
Back in the lake shore Drew sat up and groaned rubbing the back of his head "Ketchum will pay for this." Drew said standing up "Yes your right he will." A dark voice said Drew turned and saw a dark figure wearing a trench coat with yellow eyes that seemed to pierce his soul "Who are you?" Drew asked "I'm the one who has an offer for you." Shadow said Drew looked at him suspiciously "What kind of offer?" Shadow smiled "An alliance." He replied darkly.
Ash, the skilled Pokemon trainer, was in love with her. lana Berlitz. Her blue hair, sapphire eyes, bubbly personality is what caught his attention. The day dreaming, the dazing, the thinking...It was all about her. She was in his mind twenty four seven, and nothing could ever stop that. He was deeply in love, but he was not wanting to admit it. Sure Ash lana be thick, but deep down he knew that he was going to have to tell her, one way or another.
They hadn't seen each other for three years, but they still stayed in contact. Sure three years is a long time, but it seemed to just fly by. The days, the weeks, the months were gone so fast like a blink of an eye, and Ash was always thinking about her and the winning smile that shaped her smooth face perfectly. Perfection, that was the word to describe her; everything about her was just...Utterly perfect. Her skin, her smell, her appearance...Everything. He didn't think that a girl could be this perfect. It was just so...unreal. Like an angel coming down from heaven.
He missed her. Three years had made him desperate to see her again, to hear her voice again...To tell her how he feels about her. He missed not having her company. He had a special bond with her, that he never had with Misty or lana. The special bond that made them connect, best friends. But he wanted to be more than friends. He wanted to have her in his arms, to kiss her softly on her lips, to...To tell her he loves her. No one knew how he felt...Or so it would seem.
The snow fell quietly, making a white blanket over the town. Everything was decorated with Christmas lights and tinsel. The houses were hard to make out due to the thick frosty mist but windows were lit, indicating that someone was warm and glad to be inside. The frosty air froze your lungs in one breath, but not a soul was out. The empty streets were undisturbed and silent.
A plain house was sitting at the edge of town. All the lights were on. The blanket of snow in the small garden had no footprints.
The raven haired boy named Ash was helping his mother in the kitchen, since Christmas was tomorrow they were having guests round.
He was fifteen now, and taller. Three years have made him stronger and handsomer, but he was still the same old Ash inside; clumsy, irresponsible...Dense.
"Mum, can you tell me who are coming round tomorrow?" Ash pleaded and faced his mother. She looked at him.
"You'll find out tomorrow," she answered happily. A small smile gracing her lips as she thought of Ash's face when he sees the 'guests'. Ash rolled his eyes.
"You've said that a million times all ready," He wined. "Why can you not tell me?"
"It's a surprise Ash. If I tell you now then you'll be even more excited," she giggled. Ash sighed.
"OK, OK," he said and continued drying the dishes. Dahlia looked at him out of the corner of her eye and smiled. 'I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees her...' She thought.
"I've finished the dishes, and I'm away up to bed." Ash said, "Night."
"Good night honey," Dahlia replied as she watched him walk out the kitchen.
Ash's Pov.
Who could it be? And why is she keeping it a secret from me? Couldn't she just tell me? Argh I have to wait till tomorrow! I sighed again as I walked up the stairs. I entered my bedroom and sat on my bed. Pikachu was all ready sleeping on my covers. I scratched him beside the ear as he stretched and yawned.
"Pika," It said sleepily. I smiled but my thoughts were still on the 'guests'. Who was it?
[Morning]
"Mum can you tell me now?" I wined. She was putting on the diamond necklace I gave her.
"Ash you'll find out soon," she said while looking at her watch, "They'll be here in five minutes." My eyes widened. A five minutes is all I needed to wait till I find out who the 'guests' are! Just a few minutes!
"Why can you not tell me now though?" I asked her for the one millionth time this morning. I looked at my watch; 12.07 pm.
"I don't want to ruin the surprise Ash. Besides, a few minutes isn't long to wait." She replied, I looked at her and sighed. Defeated. She was right. A few minutes isn't long to wait.
I trailed my thoughts in a different direction so I wouldn't get inpatient again. Hmm...I need to call Gary to see if he's coming out in the snow tomorrow. maybe we could get Misty, lana, and Drew out too so we could have a snowball fight. Or we could all go sleighing. Nah...Snowball fight sounds better.
I looked at my watch again; 12.08. Four minutes...
I wonder what they are all doing now? I'm so bored. And it's meant to be Christmas!
I made my way to my bedroom only to find pikachu still sleeping on my bed. I sighed.
Three minutes...
"Pikachu, you need to get up now," I said softly.
"Pika pi," It replied and stretched. "Pikaa chu." I rolled my eyes, as he just curled up in a ball again.
"Come on Pikachu, it's Christmas." I yawned.
Two minutes...
Argh this is not working! Only two minutes left and it looks like my watch is going slow motion!
I picked pikachu up and ran down stairs.
One minute...
I placed pikachu on the ground. My mum was laying plates on the dining room table.
"Have you guessed who the guests are yet?" She asked me. I shook my head. A wide grin spread across her face. The door bell rang.
"I'll get it!" I called to my mum as I sprinted to the door dodging pikachu who was still on the ground. I grabbed the door handle and swung it open. I got a brief glimpse of two people standing on the doorstep then my vision was completely obscured by very smooth blue hair.
"ASH!" A voice screamed happily. Wait...I know that voice! lana! She had thrown herself on to me in a hug that nearly knocked me flat. Her arms were around my neck as one of my hands trailed down to her waist and the other one was stroking her hair. My heart was beating very fast as I held the girl I love so much in my arms. Her head was on my chest.
Man how I wish we could stay like this forever. That would be heaven. Pure heaven...
"lana," I whispered. She was like an angel. Perfect in every way. I heard chuckles from behind us as me and lana looked round to see my mum and her mum grinning at us. Damn them, they knew all along.
"Come along, dinner will be ready in just a moment." I heard my mum say. I looked at lana, she was just the same as I remembered her. The same mid length blue hair, same perfect smooth face, same smile, all the things I've missed about her. I grinned at her as she grinned back. What was I going to say?! I'll make a fool of myself again!
We walked through to the dining room table. She sat next to me as my mum and Johanna sat opposite us. The drinks were already served.
lana's Pov.
My cheeks were sore from smiling so much. I can't believe my mum never told me where we were going till I recognised the house. Ash still looks so hot! OK lana calm down.
I looked at him. He was smiling too. I blushed and looked at the table. I think my mum and Dahlia noticed as they were giggling.
"So Ash," My mum said, starting the conversation. Please don't let her embarrass me in front of Ash! "What have you been up to lately?" Phew! Safe...For now. I looked at him.
"Nothing much, enjoying the snow," he chuckled. His face is so...Cute! My mum and Dahlia giggled again. Ash turned his attention on me.
"I think they're up to something," He whispered as I nodded in agreement. He smiled, Damn that smile! Why does he have to be so freaking hot!
"I'll get the starter," Ash's mum interrupted. The dinner went smoothly, me and Ash talked about battles and contests while Johanna and Dahlia had their own conversation.
Ash started talking about Buneary and Pikachu's 'relationship', but then my mum just had to interrupt saying that a pokemon copies their trainer's emotions. Leaving me blushing like mad. I couldn't even look at Ash's face because I was so embarrassed. Damn mums. I couldn't stop gazing into his gorgeous brown eyes. They are so amazing! Dahlia went to get the turkey, still giggling, while Ash turned to face me.
"Cracker?" He asked holding out a green and red decorated cracker.
"OK," I answered happily and pulled the other end. There was a small bang and Ash had the bigger half. He grinned as he opened the little card that was in the cracker just as Dahlia came walking back with the turkey in her hands.
Ash read out load:
Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I've ever met,
You're the one I can't forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best...
Ash looked at me, I blushed. Our eyes stayed connected as I could hear Dahlia and my mum.
"Aww Ashy, did you finally confess to lana?" Dahlia squealed. We looked away from each other to look at her.
"What?" Ash said. I looked at him, wait was he...Blushing? No it can't be...I must be imagining it.
"You know what I'm talking about Ash...The secret..." She replied slyly. The secret? What secret? Ash's eyes widened. I looked away from him to look at Dahlia again. She rolled her eyes. "Never mind then." Ash looked back at me again but turned away quickly as he met my eyes.
Dinner went along quickly with no other word on 'the secret' subject. Whatever the secret was. After we had finished our desert me and Ash had volunteered to clean the dishes. The kitchen was just how I remembered it from a few years back. Pikachu was sitting on the kitchen stool. I smiled.
We started to clean.
"Wow, Ash I never knew you could eat this much!" I said while grinning at the amount of plates the boy had carried through.
"Hey! I didn't eat all the food!" He laughed and scratched his head sheepishly.
"No, just enough to feed the whole country," I laughed and stuck out my tongue.
"Ha, you should talk miss three-bowl-of-Christmas-pudding," he was grinning, and trying to hold in his laughter at the same time.
"Well I can't help it if she's a good cook," I admitted. He laughed.
"True that," he said.
Normal Pov.
"What are we going to do with these?" He said sarcastically indicating to the pile of dirty dishes
"We wash them silly," lana laughed splashing a little bit of the dish water on the boy's nose. Ash responded by throwing some soap suds on her. She gasped, "You'll pay for that!" She laughed and threw some more at him. She missed and the soapy suds landed on the kitchen floor unnoticed.
Five minutes later the kitchen was full of laughs as the water and soap went everywhere; on the walls, on the tables, and on the floor.
"Oops..." Ash said slowly looking at the mess they made, "Looks like we've got a lot more cleaning up to do," lana laughed at his obvious remark. She walked back to the sink and leaned against it.
"This was fun," she laughed. There was a bump and next minute lana was on the floor covered in soup bubbles, She laughed again when she saw the look on Ash's face. He walked over and sat down next to her, still laughing.
"Clumsy much?" He joked.
"Me clumsy? No," lana replied sarcastically. She threw some more soup suds in his direction which landed in his head. He grinned. Bubbles of soup were flying across the room again as the two teenagers were laughing at each other. Ash still had soup bubbles on his head while lana had on her cheeks.
"Ow my eye..." lana said.
"Are you alright?" The raven haired trainer asked, placing his hand on her cheek. Their eyes met. Blue gazing into brown. Taking in every detail. It was quiet. You could almost hear each others hearts beating.
"Y-Yeah," lana whispered, they were close now, inches away from each other that they could both feel their crushes hot breath kissing their skin. Centimetres...Millimetres...So, so close...Then the unexpected happened...
"What's taking so long?" Dahlia laughed as she opened the kitchen door, Ash and lana jumped and looked up. "What the feathers happened in here?!" She said, looking at Ash and lana sitting on the floor with soapy suds all around them; The dishes were still undone.
"...Oops..." They said innocently and at the same time. Dahlia giggled.
"Were having fun were you?" She said slyly and winked at them both. They blushed. Johanna came walking in and laughed.
"Deary me, what happened?" She said, Ash grinned as he took a glance at lana who was looking at Johanna innocently.
"See, it was all lana's fault. I tried to stop her, but the poor girl lost control" He said sarcastically. lana gasped.
"Hey! It was not me!" lana laughed. "You started it!"
"That's what you want us to think," Ash said and stuck out his tongue. lana giggled as Ash helped her up.
lana's Pov.
"Why do we have to go?!" I moaned. My mum rolled her eyes.
"lana, It's nine O Clock, we've been here piratically all day," she laughed. Ash was behind me. Then my mum started speaking to Dahlia again. I turned to face Ash.
"I don't want to go," I said to him, he had a sad look on his face too as he opened his arms for a hug. I gladly accepted, running into his arms again like I did earlier on the doorstep. A warm tear ran down my cheek.
When was I going to see him again? Another three years?! I can't stand being away from him...
His hot breath ran down my neck sending shivers down my spine. I sniffed. My arms were around his neck as his hands were on my waist. I'm going to miss this. I'm going to miss him.
"Ash, take lana outside," Dahlia said kindly, I could feel him nod as he lead me to the doorstep. My hands were wrapped around his torso now. We stepped outside in the frosty air. There was no snow clouds, only the glistering stars above. It was quiet. No sound was made. I looked at him, Another tear was running down my cheek. Each tear pleading not to go. He looked at me.
"I'm going to miss you." He said quietly, it sounded like his voice had cracked in the middle of that sentence. I sniffed again.
"I'm going to miss you too," I whispered. He smiled. His eyes seemed dim. No sparkle as I remembered. Was it just the small amount of light? I shivered and hugged him again. Taking in every moment, and not wanting to forget it.
"lana?..." He asked.
"Yeah Ash?"
"Can you promise me something?" His voice was gentle and it soothed me. I pulled away and looked at him. His eyes were full of mischief now.
I knew I was going to regret this almost instantly. "Fine."
"What do you think of me?...As more than a friend..." He said looking into my eyes. Yes. Instant regret.
"I-Er..." I began.
"You promised," he insisted.
"I know..." I replied. I took a glance at him. He looked relaxed.
"What's the problem?"
"I-I think you might get...Annoyed?" I said truthfully. His brows pulled together over his eyes as he thought this through.
"I still want to know," he said, "Please?" I took a deep breath. I need to say it. Come on lana, just say how you feel.
"I...I..." I began, "Mistletoe?" I asked looking at the door beside us. He looked round.
"Er...My mum must have put it there," He admitted looking back at me. I giggled. His face was red...Like he was blushing? I could feel his hand still on my waist dragging me in closer. His eyes still on mine as our lips were only a centimetre apart.
Come on lana, just a little closer!
Closer...and closer. I could feel his warm breath on my cold skin. Then his lips pressed softly against mine. I was in heaven, Ash was kissing me! I couldn't believe it. Was it a dream? Or real?
My arms were around his neck again, and I was kissing him back. I wish we could stay like this forever. This was the best feeling in my life!
We broke apart for air. I was blushing like mad. He looked at me.
"Is that how you feel?" He asked. I nodded unable to take my eyes off of his.
"How would I be annoyed at that?" He laughed. "I love you." I blushed even more, deep shades of red and pink scattered over my face.
"I love you too," I whispered to him as I hugged him again. I could feel him smile.
"Lucky my mum put out this Mistletoe," he joked, "I would never have found this courage to tell you." I giggled. We shared a kiss again just as my mum Johanna opened the door, Dahlia was behind her.
"Awww!" they cooed. Great my mum found another way to embarrass us!
Note to self...Pick a more private place!
"Wait, that mistletoe wasn't there this morning!" Ash said and turned to Johanna and Dahlia. BUSTED. she cryed on his shoulder he said do not cry i well see you in 1week i was going to challenge the sinnoh gyms again and she hugged him qnd said that is great can i travel with you again he said yes you can i well meat you at your house in 1week she said ok he got his things ready the next he took off he got their then went to the address she gave him he got their her mom Answered the door he asked for lana she said she was still sleeping he asked if he could come in she said yes would you like some tea he said yes please he drinks the tea and said were is the kitchen she said over their he went into the kitchen and made breakfast bergers for them he was done wene lana came down he said breakfast is done and brought it to the table he said surprised to see me she saw him and hugged him they eat the he said i know that this might be pushing it but if it is tell me and we will just date untell you are ready he got on one knee and took out a blue diamond ring and said i knew that you feel the same way about me that I feel about you because wene I'm by you you blush so it makes it easier for me to say well you marrie me and she said yes i would love to marrie you they kissed him
Ash is home for the holidays 2 days before Christmas. He brought along lana, sarah and Harper too. Their parents were also there too talking with Ash's mom. The tree was set up, the decorations were wonderful, and everyone is having a good time.
Not to mention this would be Ash's and lana's first Christmas together as a couple. They didn't tell their parents yet because they were afraid at how they will react. They are hoping to tell them on Christmas eve or Christmas day when everyone is in a good mood.
Ash and his friends are in his room looking at some of the stuff he collected over the years. lana looks on his dresser and notices a contest ribbon cut in half on his dresser. "Hey Ash, what's this?" lana says examining it.
Ash looks over and sees lana holding the ribbon. "Oh, that's the ribbon I won with a friend back in Hoenn. It seems only yesterday that I was traveling with May Max and Brock."
"Who are they?" sarah asked. Ash starts digging around his other junk until he finds a picture. "Here, this is a picture we took in the Hoenn region." Ash takes out his photobook and takes out a picture. "This is May, Brock, and, Max"
It shows Ash with him doing a fist pump with May to his left, holding up a peace sign, Max standing right in front of May and Ash with his GPS, and Brock standing to the right side of Ash.
"That's a nice picture Ash." Harper said. lana got a little nervous the way Ash was as close to May. She wasn't afraid to admit May looked pretty, but she was afraid of how much of a relationship they were in.
"Still, the one we took with Korrina and lucario was awesome." Ash says. "In fact," He looks around in his backpack and finds it. He places it in a frame and puts it right next to his other pictures.
"I still can't believe that you slid closer to me lana." Ash says. She puts her arm around his neck and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "And I still can't believe you wouldn't take a hint that I liked you." She says. Everyone started laughing.
"Guys! Dinner's done!" Ash's mom called. They all start heading downstairs. lana stayed behind. "You coming lana?" Ash asked. "I need to use the bathroom. Where is it?" She asked. "Last door on the right. See you down stairs." Ash says waving good bye.
When Ash left she closed his door but stayed in the room. She wants to know more about May. She looks around his room for more stuff about May. She doesn't find anything so she starts flipping through his photobook, and doesn't like what she sees.
Ash's photos from every region he's been to. Along with every traveling companion he has had. Not only did she see May, she saw Misty, Dawn, and Iris too.
His photobook was filled with a bunch of pictures of his friends. There were pictures them battling each other, eating food, and just having fun. There was even a few where it was just him and his girl companion. Her imagination started getting the best of her and she started to cry.
Downstairs in the dining room: Everyone was enjoying the meal Ash's mom had made. It was just simple Hamburgers with some rice but still, the way Ash's mom cooks, it was delicious.
"Where's lana? Her food's getting cold." lana's mom asked. Ash was in the middle of chewing when he got up. "I'll go look for her. She had to use the bathroom, but it shouldn't her take this long." he says with his mouth full.
"Ash, swallow before you talk." His mom says. sarah and his dad start giggling at that statement. "Real mature you two." lana's mom says. "Why are they laughing?" Harper asked. "You'll understand when you're older." Ash's mom says.
Ash starts leaving the table. "Mr. Mime, can you heat up lana's food please?" Mr. Mime nods and grabs lana's food. Ash heads upstairs, walks down his hall and knocks on the bathroom door.
"lana? You okay? Your food's getting cold. You didn't fall in did you?" When he doesn't hear an answer, he opens the door. The light was turned off and he looked in the sink. It was still dry. "If lana didn't use the bathroom, then where is she?"
He starts heading back downstairs when he hears crying in his room. He opens the door and then sees lana bawling her eyes out. "lana? Are you okay?" He goes up to her and sees that she was looking through his photobook.
"Oh man lana." He kneels down beside her and puts his hand on her shoulder. She shrugs it off, still crying a bit. "Do you really like me Ash, or am I just another girl you're traveling with?" She says coldly.
Ash puts his hands on her cheeks and turns her head toward him. "lana, I promise you, they are just my friends. You are the only one I ever had a true girlfriend, boyfriend relationship with I promise." He put his arms around her into a hug.
"Promise?" lana says, still unsure. "Of course" He lets go of her and smiles. She smiles back and hugs him. They head downstairs to finish dinner.
After dinner everyone was wondering where to sleep. Ash's house may have looked big, but it really wasn't. "Well, I got 2 guest rooms, both pretty small, and one air mattress. How do we solve this?" Ash's mother asked.
"I think Harper and I can share the couch, Dad can use the air mattress, and lana and her mother can use the guest rooms." sarah said. Everyone just stares at him. "What? So I came up with it in a few seconds, not that big of a deal."
"Well anyway, it's getting late. I think we should all get to bed." Ash's Mother said. Everyone nods and heads to bed. Ash and friends started to brush their teeth. "So, how should we spend Christmas eve together?" Harper asked with her toothbrush in her mouth.
"How about a pokémon battle? All four of us against each other at once?" lana suggested. "That actually sounds like a great idea!" Ash says as he got done spitting toothpaste into the sink.
"Yeah, well, you think all of lana's ideas are great now don't you?" Harper says evilly. Ash flicks her in the side of the head and exits the bathroom. Everyone got done brushing their teeth and went to bed a few minutes later.
When lana woke up, she heard a pokémon battle going on. "Use flamethrower!" She heard Ash say. "That's weird. Ash doesn't have any fire pokémon." She then heard a girl's voice. "Use bubble!" lana looked out the window and sees Ash in his coat with a Charizard and battling a girl with orange hair. She was a girl in Ash's photobook. Misty.
"Nice one Misty! Charizard use Wing attack!" The fire dragon charges at Misty's pokémon. "Gyarados, use dragon rage!" The 2 pokémon attacks collide and create an explosion.
lana gets excited to see the battle starts to get dress to go outside. She exits through the front door into the snow. She starts walking toward the side of the house where they were battling. "Can't a girl get some sleep aroun-" She is cut short by what she sees.
Ash is kissing Misty. Not just on the cheek or anything, like an ACTUAL kiss! lana just stares in horror. When they get done, Misty point towards lana. "Who is she?" She asks.
Ash turns around and looks at lana. He just scoffs and says "Just some girl I was traveling with. Nothing more." Those words cut through lana's heart like a hot knife through butter.
"Ash, I thought you liked me?!" She says tears running down her eyes. Ash just laughs at her. "I can't believe you fell for that! You actually thought I liked you? That's hilarious." lana drops to her knees and starts crying even more.
"You are nothing to me lana. Nothing." Ash says coldly. This word keeps repeating in her head over, and over, and over again. "Nothing. Nothing. Nothing." She lets out a scream.
lana wakes up, sweat pouring down her face. She looks around the guest room. She then looks at the clock next to her bed. 3 In the morning. She sits up and hugs her knees. "It was just a dream, just a nightmare." She says rocking back and forth.
She started to whimper a little bit. "lana?" She hears. She looks up and sees Ash looking in. "Are you okay? I heard you whimpering when I got out of the bathroom." He asked.
"I'm fine Ash." She says quickly looking away. He enters the room and closes the door. He sits on the side of the bed and looks at lana. "lana, I know you're lying. Tell me what's going on, please." She looks into his brown thoughtful eyes, and then leans into him and cries. "I had a nightmare about our relationship."
"Do you remember what your nightmare was about?" Ash asked. "I saw you kiss your friend Misty. You… also said that I was nothing to you." She stopped crying and looked up at him trying to read his face.
He had a shocked looked on his face. "lana I… I don't know what to say to that. I want you to know that I like you a lot. I swear." He kisses her on the cheek and lies down next to her. He then pulls her into a hug. She hugs back, he said let's go for a walk they did it was 9:30 AM wene they got back to the house grace saw them holding hands wen they got back home she said what the heck is going on here
"Mom, please! Let us explain everything to you and Delia. Please." She gives her mother the puppy dog eyes. Grace sighs and says "Fine. But you better have a good excuse." She says as she leaves the room.
"Ash, what do we do?" lana says worriedly. Ash looks around the room for something. He then looks out the window and points. "Run away?" He says in a panicked voice.
"No we're not doing that!" She says. lana looks out the window for a few seconds actually considering it. "No." She says finally. "I think we actually need to tell them the truth. We were planning to do that anyway." lana says.
"Yes, when they were in a good mood. I'm not very comfortable with them judging us after seeing us like that." He says. "I agree with you but we need to have the guts to deal with it." Ash smiles at that. "Heh, if I said to run away when we started going out, you would've followed me blindly."
lana thinks about it and realizes he is right. She would literally do anything to get Ash's attention. Now that they've been dating for a few months, she knows she can just be herself. "Alright, lets do it." She says.
He smiles again and they both kiss each other. "Alright, lets go." lana says. They head downstairs and see the 2 mothers staring at them with even more fury. Harper, sarah and their father went out to do something. lana starts getting second thoughts. She looks at Ash but he has his confident smile on his face.
lana opened her mouth to say something and closed quickly again. Ash, however, says "
"Let me explain, I was going to the bathroom last night and then I heard lana whimpering. I wanted to check on her so I opened the door. She was whimpering, rocking back and forth, and on the verge of crying. She had a nightmare so I comforted her. We then fell asleep next to each other." Ash explained.
"Why didn't you leave after you comforted her?" Grace asked. Ash looks at lana and gives a confident nod saying 'You got this.' "It's because we're dating." The 2 mothers get shocked look on their faces.
"We didn't want to tell you because we wanted to tell you when everyone is happy like on Christmas day or today, if you didn't see us in the bed." She gives a little laugh and looks at them, waiting for a response.
They just look at each other for a little bit, and then smile. lana is surprised, as is Ash. "I guess you aren't kids anymore." Delia says. "I guess not. Are you guys happy with your relationship?" Grace asks. They both nod quickly with smile.
"Then who are we to object?" Grace says. The 2 teens gets wide eyes and hug their mothers. "You are the best." They both say. The mothers hug back. After everyone got done hugging Ash had to ask something.
"Where's sarah and Harper?" "They're out with their father doing something. I'm not sure what." Grace says. "But you guys have the day to yourselves, go enjoy it." Delia says smiling. They both nod and head out the door, holding hands.
"That was easier than I thought. I was expecting them to yell at us." lana says, still holding Ash's hand while they walk out in the snow. "Me too, but now we have the entire day to ourselves. I'm pretty sure Harper and sarah won't be back for a while. So, what should we do?" Ash asked.
"How about we go see all your pokémon? I'm curious to how many you have." lana says with a smile. "Oh I have tons of them. You're going to like this." They head down to professor Oaks lab.
"Hey lana." They hear a voice. They both look around and see someone with a red cap, blue jacket and jeans. "Calem?" lana said. "Why are you holding hands with him? I thought we were dating." Calem says.
Ash twitches a bit. "lana, did he say you guys are dating?" Ash asks. lana was about to say something but Calem cut her off. "Yes, we are dating. She's probably only using you to make me jealous. Isn't that right babe?" Calem says with a smile.
He walks up to lana, grabs her and kisses her. She let go of Ash's hand. Ash has a shocked look, then a blank look, and starts to walk away. She pushes Calem off of her and says "Ash wait!" but Ash ignores her and starts running toward the lab.
"Calem, what the hell are you doing here? I told you we were through!" lana says trying to break out of Calem's grip. "It's because I love you lana. I thought you knew this. Why did you break up with me?" Calem says smiling evilly.
"I broke up with you because you never truly liked me you only liked me for my looks." She says still struggling. Calem wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her in towards him. "lana that was the old me, just give me a chance." He says. He then tries to force kiss her but she slaps his face.
Calem lets go of lana and she falls down. "Leave me alone you freak!" She says and she gets up. However, Calem grabs her arm and drags her toward him "You're not leaving me that easily." He then drags her down to the ground and -lies on top of her.
"Get off of me! HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" lana screams. "No one will hear you. Now, stay still." Calem says as he starts leaning in closer to her.
With Ash: "I can't believe she used me." Ash said talking to himself. 'I should've known, Calem looks pretty much like me.' He thought. He looks up in the sky and starts think about what to do next without trying to make things awkward since she is staying with them for Christmas.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Ash hears. 'That's lana's voice' Ash thinks and heads toward where he left them.
"Stop it Calem!" lana said. He was grazing her boob. She was also crying. "Calem get off of me. Please." She says. She looked up and sees Calem having a huge evil grin on his face. "You're mine lana. Only mine." She just closes her eyes and wait for this to be over.
She looks up one more time and sees a shoe connect to Calem's face. She looks at the person who was wearing the shoe. It was Ash! "God and I thought Brock was a perv." He says.
Calem gets up and takes out a pokéball. "Chesnaught, Kick his ass!" A large Chesnaught comes out of the pokéball and roars. "Use Tackle!" The pokémon was about to charge at Ash but a loud roar stops it in its place. Ash crosses his arms and smile.
The roar comes out again and Calem and Chesnaught see a flying orange dragon fly next to Ash and land. "Meet my buddy, Charizard." Charizard lets out another fierce roar. lana admits that Charizard was impressive. Calem and Chesnaught step back a few steps after hearing the roar.
"Charizard, flamethrower please." Charzard shoots flames out of his mouth burning not only Chesnaught and Calem, melting the snow nearby too. Chesnaught is knocked out and Calem returns him to his pokéball. Ash then goes up to Calem and lifts him up.
"I don't know what past you have with lana, but obviously she didn't like it. So take the hint and leave her alone and get out of my hometown." Ash says. He then punches Calem in the gut and throws him to the ground. Calem gets up and starts running away.
Ash sighs and turns around to lana. He wasn't even done turning when he was hugged by lana. She hugged him so hard he took a few steps back. "Ash everything he said was lie. I dumped him but he couldn't get it through his thick skull. I'm so sorry that I-" lana was cut off by Ash kissing her. She had her eyes wide open. She then kissed him back.
"You talk way to much lana." Ash says with a warm smile. They just look at each other for a few minutes. "Well you 2 have been busy." A voice says. It's sarah with Harper. "Ah the fabled sibling return. What did you do, fight a dragon?" lana says sarcasticly.
"No but Ash fought with one." Harper said. "Well, we were going to go to Professor Oaks lab. You guys want to come?" They nod their heads and head to professor oaks lab and spend the entire day there. They were meeting Ash's pokémon, talking with Tracy and professor Oak, battling, helping the pokémon out, anything to past time.
They were on their way back to Ash's house for dinner. "Just think guys, tomorrow is our first Christmas together." Ash said "Yeah especially for you and lana." Harper teased. The couple looks at each other and nods their heads. Ash grabs Harper awhile lana grabs a huge handful and rubs it in Harper's face.
"Hey, no fair!" Harper says. The couple is laughing until a huge snowball hits the 2 of them. sarah just threw one at them with his aipom arm. He had a smug look on his face. "Oh that's it!" And the rest of the way to Ash's house was a huge mobile snowball fight.
After dinner, everyone was getting ready to go to sleep. The parents were already in their rooms the kids were watching a movie it was over Ash told Harper and lana that they could sleep in his room just dont mess with stuff with out asking i well be outside all night with one of my long time friends training our pokemon together at her gym in Cerulean City but he said he would be back by 5:30am and left and misty asked if she could have Christmas with his family he said i well have to ask my mom because we have 6 people there one is my girlfriend and misty said you have a girlfriend ash said yes i do you can come to my house and if you can't stay i will take you back home she said ok they got on Charizard and rode him home he landed and went in and made breakfast burgers for everyone 6:00 they all smelled something Cooking and came out of the rooms and to the kitchen and saw ash and a girl Cooking they said who is this he said she is a friend that i was with all night training our pokemon together because she is a gym leader then he went up to lana and said this is my girlfriend and introduce her to misty ash asked if she could stay for Christmas dinner because all her family are out of town his mom said yes he heard explosions out side and told everyone to stay inside and went outside to battle with team rocket and told Pikachu to use thunderbolt and knocked out there pokemon than told Pikachu to use Gigavolt Impact and they were gone everyone said what was that ash said a z move he saw Pikachu was in bad shape he fell to the ground everyone said what is wrong with you nothing an energy transfer would fixes he took Pikachu to the Pokemon Centre and said do you have and energy rechargeing stashion she said yes they finished up at the pokemon center and went home and eat then took Misty home
