Chapter fifteenth
Battles can wait
It was the next morning in the city of Lilycove. Ash and his pokemon were getting warmed up for the battle he was going to have. Soon all his friends came out of the building and found Ash training already.
“Ash when did you wake up?” May asked as a yawn soon followed.
“Early.” Ash replied. “Anyway you guys ready?”
“Since we are already here might as well.” Amelia sighed.
“Okay let’s go!” Ash cheered.
“Wait Ash!” Brock called out.
“What?” the eager pokemon trained asked.
“Did you know that this battle frontier brain is a tag team battle?”
“Tag team?” Ash asked. “You mean as having another trainer as my team mate?”
“Yes.” Brock nodded. “Who are you going to pick?”
“Well.” Ash said as he thought to himself. “What about you Amelia?” Ash asked. “I haven’t had a tag team battle yet with you.”
“Sure.” Amelia replied.
After Ash choosing a partner for the Ash’s next battle they all ran to the battle frontier. When they got to their destination they saw that the building was a huge castle with a moat surrounding the huge building. Soon the main entrance of the castle opened up. When the huge door was down there was standing two people.
The man had rich black jacket with a white shirt tucked in. he also had violet pants. He had black polished shoes. He had white gloves on both of his hands with purple glasses with black hair. The women next to him had a white jacket with a light pink dress that only reached to her knees. She had golden hair with white clips in her hair with white high heels.
“Welcome to the battle castle.” The man in a rich suit greeted. “I am Cochran. The battle frontier brain.”
“And I am Cattleya .” Cattleya greeted in a soft voice. “I’m also the battle frontier brain here.”
“Well I’m Ash Ketchum.” Ash greeted. “And I’m here to challenge you.”
But before the battle frontier brains could reply they saw Brock flirting with Cattleya .
“I am so glad that I have found you dear princess. I am here to save you from this dreaded castle and this man.” Brock said as he knelt down at Cattleya ’s feet holding both her hands.
“Come here Prince charming.” Max said as he pulled Brock’s ear dragging him away from Cattleya .
“Sorry about that.” May replied. “He is always like that when it comes to women.”
“So shall we get the battle started?” Ash asked.
“Oh that can wait.” Cochran replied. “We invite all of our people a nice evening with a huge feast and ending with a dance.”
“Then we can battle.” Cattleya added.
“So that battle will be on tomorrow?.” Amelia asked.
“Yes.” Cochran replied. “Battles can wait.”
“Well not for me.” Ash mumbled.
*~*~*~*
Darkness soon covered the battle frontier. It was time to have the evening feast. May and Amelia were choosing what to wear and the boys were doing the same. Amelia was having a hard time choosing since she like all the clothes she was looking at.
“Too many to pick!” Amelia complained. “They are so all pretty.”
“Well I have already picked mine.” May said as she walked out of the dressing room.
“Wow.” Amelia gasped. “You look so pretty. Maybe Ash would blush again when he sees you like that.” Amelia giggled.
“When it comes to girls Ash is as dense as a rock.” May replied. “It’s even worst when it comes to love.”
“I couldn’t agree less with you May.” Amelia replied.
Meanwhile in the boy’s room. Max and Brock were already dressed. Brock was wearing a white suit with a red rose in his right pocket in his jacket. Max was wearing a light grey suit with a “V” neck shape in his jacket showing his white shirt. Ash was still in the dressing room. Brock and Max were trying to convinced Ash to get out.
“Come on Ash.” Brock called out as he knocked on the dressing room door that Ash was inside. “You don’t look that bad.”
“Yeah.” Max added in.
“I really don’t like wearing suits.” Ash complained. “Why can’t we just battle already?”
“We have no choice Ash.” Brock replied. “Come on it’s only one night.”
“Fine.” Ash replied as he opened the door of the dressing room.
Ash was wearing a black suit with matching pants. He had grey polished shoes. He had a white collar showing that he had white long sleeves inside his jacket. All of them were surprise that Ash actually dressed in something decent not like in the previously journeys. Even Pikachu as impressed.
“Well?” Ash asked.
“Impressive.” Brock replied with his arms crossed.
“Pikachu.” Pikachu said like he was saying that he agreed with Brock’s answer.
“Well let’s go.” Max said. “May and Amelia are waiting.”
“Yeah let’s go.” Ash replied.
The boys soon left the dressing room and went to the dining room. He saw Cochran and Cattleya sitting down.
“Oh so you guys decided to arrive.” Cochran replied. “Please take a seat.”
“Where’s are the girls?” Brock asked.
“They will arrive shortly.” Cattleya replied.
“We are here.” called out the girls.
Soon May and Amelia came and joined the boys. Amelia was wearing a teal dress that went to her ankles. He had her hair tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon tied in her ponytail. She had red high heels with a pearl necklace. May on the other hand was wearing a white silk dress that went pass her knees. She was wearing black high heels. She had piggy tales in her hair with black ribbons holding them in place. Then she had a necklace with a small white heart in the necklace.
“Sorry we are late.” May apologize.
“That is alright.” Cattleya replied in her normal sweet voice.
Meanwhile Ash couldn’t help but to look at both girls. When he looked at May he slightly blushed. May also blushed to see Ash in a suit. Soon both girls went to take a seat. Everyone eat around the round table.
“So Ash.” Cochran began. “Who is your partner going to be for your battle tomorrow?”
“My partner is going to be Amelia.” Ash replied.
“Well we all know who mine is.” Cochran replied. “It’s going to be my fiancé Cattleya .”
“Fiancé!?” Brock said in shock before falling off his chair.
Amelia, Max, May and Ash both saw what happened to their friend.
“Poor Brock.” Amelia said. “Heartbroken.”
“I just don’t get it.” Ash said. “He acts like this to nearly every girl he sees so why is he acting like this?”
“Maybe because this is the first time he flirted to a girl that belonged to somebody else.” May answered.
“Anyway.” Cochran said. “Let’s continue our dinner.”
The rest just nodded and went back to their seats. Even Brock.
*~*~*~*
“Now we shall finish off with a dance.” Cattleya told the group.
“Is this really important?” Ash asked. “Why can’t we just get on with the battle?”
“Let us just enjoy the night Ash.” May asked. “And anyway when is the next time you get to be in a place like this?”
“Actually” Ash replied. “I’ve been in a place like this before.” Ash replied.
“Really?” May said in surprise. “Is that true Amelia?”
“Yes.” She nodded in responds. “This isn’t new to me.”
“Well let us all enjoy the night and tomorrow we can battle.”
“Fine.” Ash sighed.
“Don’t be disappointed.” May smiled. “Let’s just have fun.”
So the whole group went to the dance floor. Everyone was dancing except Ash who was sitting on the tables. Amelia was dancing with Max while May was dancing with Brock and the two battle frontiers were dancing together in each other’s arms. Soon May stopped dancing with Brock as Brock decided to dance with Cattleya which she accepted. May went up to Ash.
“Hey Ash.” May greeted. “Why aren’t you dancing?” She asked.
“I don’t want to and I think this is a waste of time.” Ash replied.
“Oh stop begin a party pooper.” May replied as she dragged Ash out of his seat by his hand. “Let me help you enjoy this night.” She smiled.
Soon the two best friends were on the dance floor. As they danced the night away the music soon turned into a soft slow romantic song. Everyone looked at the two battle frontier brains dance slowly. The two best friends copy what they saw. Ash put his one of his hand on top of May’s shoulder and the other one around her waist. May just laid her arms on Ash’s shoulder. Brock, Max, Amelia and Pikachu went outside to take some fresh air. The two battle frontier brains were still dancing.
As the best friends danced both blushed red. Seeing that they dancing in the positions they were in was something they both found uncomfortable. They both tried to avoid each other’s eyes. As they did violins played softly while joined by the piano as the notes begin played softy filled the room with the violins playing their bit.
Soon both trainer’s eyes met. When they did they didn’t seem to part. They both closed their eyes as their faces started to come closer. Soon their lips join. Soon when they parted they both opened their eyes and both realized what they had both done. Both let go of each other and May ran out of the dancing room. Ash stand their shocked of what he done. As Amelia, Max, Brock were heading back they saw May ran out the building.
“Why was May running outside?” Amelia asked.
“I don’t know but we better find out.” Brock suggested.
Then the four ran into the dance floor. Soon Ash ran the opposite way they were going and chased after May. The four were now even more confused and ran to Cochran and Cattleya .
“What happened here?” Max asked.
“Something happened between the two.” Cochran replied.
“It’s something I think both don’t want to tell.” Cattleya added.
Outside May was looking at the night sky with her hands on her heart. Looking like she was holding it. Ash soon followed and saw May looking at the sky.
“May…”
“Go away Ash.” May said as her voice dropped nearly sounding like a whisper. “I’m feeling confused.”
“But May…”
“Please.” May begged in a soft voice as she turned towards Ash’s direction. “I need time to think.”
“Okay then…” Ash replied as he walked back into the building.
When May was alone she shed a tear from her eyes.
“What is this feeling I feel for Ash right now?” May questioned herself. “Is this feeling true?”
*~*~*~*
Soon the dance was over and everyone was in their room. Everyone had their own room. Ash was with his Pikachu. Pikachu was sleeping next to him. Ash was still awake and was laying on his side. Thinking about his second kiss with May. Ash got out of his bed and walked over to the window.
“Why did I kiss her?” Ash asked himself. “Why?”
Ash pulled out a half pink contest ribbon out of his pocket he won with May back in Kanto.
“Why am I feeling weird emotions to you?” Ash asked himself.
Ash just sighed and returned the ribbon back into his pocket and then look at the night sky covered in a blanket of stars.
“Well I better get some sleep.” Ash told himself. “I have a battle tomorrow.”
Ash walked away from the window and went to his bed and went to sleep.
*~*~*~*
“Is everything ready Sacul?” Asked the head of team cyclone to Lucas.
“Everything is in place.” Lucas replied.
“Perfect.” he replied as he threw the cigarette into his ash tray. “Everything is going into plan. Soon I will have Lucas in my hands.”
“What have I done?” Lucas thought said.
“I’m involving this May and Ash into this.” “Sir?” Lucas asked.
“Yes?”
“What would you do with the Ash and May?”
“Well.” he said as he scratched his chin. “maybe I would kill them. Ash knows Lucas very well.”
“Then why do we have to involve the girl into this?” Lucas asked.
“Well.” He replied. “I first met here in the Rustuff tunnel. I just want her for my own fun.” the boss replied with a evil grin. “I will let her boyfriend suffer this time. She won’t be able to save her this time. I will make sure of it.”
“Well I better get everyone ready.” Lucas told his boss.
“Very well. You may go.”
Lucas left the room and went to the supply room to get everything ready for the mission.
