Me: A one-shot. Ash has just won the Kalos League, and he and all of his friends over the years are coming to Kalos to celebrate his achievement! I'm also gonna note that everyone in this fanfic is wearing what they appear to be wearing in the picture for this story. Anyways, here we go!
Normal POV
After Ash's incredible victory in the Kalos league, he invited all of his former travelling companions to the Kalos region for a celebration. Everybody was showing up, from Misty to Cilan. The party was only happening in a couple hours…
Ash's POV
I couldn't believe that I'd won the Kalos League! It took 5 long years to finally win a major league, but I finally did it! And all of my friends from my journeys are coming for a celebration party! It was gonna be so much fun. But there was someone who I had my mind on and of course that was none other than the super star coordinator May. We had a spark that was there for a short while, but it faded because of distance. I wanted to bring it back at this party.
I hadn't talked to her in a couple months. After the Unova league, she called me and cheered me up after my loss. She's the only one who tried to stay in contact with me over the years, and even though she probably had a very busy schedule. After winning the Johto, and Hoenn grand festivals, she became a superstar, and she was so caring to stay in touch with me, and… I fell in love with her. Her laugh, her smile, her personality, her looks… everything about her was so perfect. I was gonna confess to her at the party, but I feared rejection and awkwardness.
"Well Ash, it's time to go!" Serena shouted upstairs to me. "Coming!" I shouted back. I ran downstairs to go join them. "Well I can't wait to meet some of your friends from all your travels" Clemont said. "Yeah and I can't wait to see them all!" I exclaimed. I was excited to see all of my friends, especially May…
We went to the party room, where everything was set up already. It took less than 5 minutes for Iris, Cilan and Dawn to get here. "Hi guys!" I exclaimed. "Ash!" Dawn ran up to me and squeezed me tighter than my mom ever could. "D-Dawn… L-let go…" I barely managed. "Oh… sorry…" Dawn apologized. Right then and there, I noticed that Iris and Cilan held each other's hands. "Whoa, what's this about?" I asked playfully. "Oh… well Cilan and I are kind of a thing…" Iris said. "Well isn't that adorable?" I said. Just as I said that, Misty, Brock, and Tracey walked into the party room.
"Misty, Brock, Tracey!" I greeted them. "Ash it's been too long!" Misty said as she went to hug me. I saw Tracey shoot me a glare. Pretty sure he had a thing for Misty. "It's been since Hoenn! That makes it what? Almost 4 years? Wow!" I answered her. "Brock, and Tracey, how have you been?" I asked them. "Well… Misty and I have been together for two years now" Tracey said. "And Brock? Anyone special in your life?" I asked him. "Actually Ash, do you remember Pike Queen Lucy? Well we're engaged!" Brock told me. "You mean that woman who wore a Seviper outfit who I beat at the battle frontier?" I asked him. "Yeah, that's her" he said.
We talked a ton for about an hour with Iris and Cilan, and Misty and Tracey dancing to the radio a bit. Dawn and Serena got along really well. Come to think of it, they have too much in common. After about 20 minutes of the party so far, May and Max finally got here. "Sorry guys, am I late?" May said, making a typical May entrance. The first thing she did was she ran up to me and gave me a massive hug. "Ash, how long's it been since we've seen each other in person like 3 years?" May asked me. "Seems right, so you won the Hoenn grand festival! Wow, well isn't somebody famous!" I exclaimed. "Yeah, Dawn and I actually competed in the semi-finals!" May cheered. "Yeah and you creamed me…" Dawn moped. "I guess that settles the score from the Wallace Cup. Anyway, Ash congrats on winning the Kalos League! I knew you had it in you!" May cheered, giving me yet another hug. "Well, it had to happen sometime…" I told her.
Iris's POV
After becoming the Champion of the Unova region, Cilan re-entered my life and we became an item after a bit of time. Right not, we were dancing on the dance floor in a party room to a slow song. "Iris? I've been thinking, and… I'm going to quit my job as a gym leader" Cilan told me. Wait what? Why was he gonna quit his job? "Why Cilan? You love battling so why quit?" I asked him.
"Well, you live in Opelucid City now, and constantly taking a train up there every weekend just to see you is starting to get expensive. I'll open my own restaurant up in Opelucid City. Not only is it a new start, but also…" he paused. He gave me a light kiss on the lips and said, "I get to stay with all the time! Iris, you've brought back the joy in life I've missed for so long now. After Ash came to Kalos, I never really felt the same. When you became champion and we re-connected, that joy came back, and I never want to lose that" Cilan whispered.
"Oh Cilan…" I said. "But I don't want to hold you back from what you hold most important in life". "But Iris… YOU are what's most important in my life…" he whispered. I pulled him in and gave him a kiss. The most romantic one we've had since we first became an item.
Tracey's POV
I've been working as Professor Oak's assistant for almost 5 years now. I need to do something else. "Misty?" I asked her. "Yeah Trace?" she asked me in a playful way. "I've been working for the Professor for too long now. I want to leave Pallet Town and make my art career blow up" I told her. "Well that makes sense. You've always been quite the artist, so it doesn't surprise me too much" Misty replied. "But, if I want the absolute best opportunity, I'll have to leave the Kanto region and go to Unova. They immerse themselves in the arts, and if I want to have a shot at becoming big, then I need to be in Unova for art conventions that no other region can offer me" I explained.
"But Tracey, if you leave, then we have to cancel all of our plans. I thought you said you could do art shows in Cerulean City" she said. "I can. But they're small and give me little chance on getting up there. But a ton of the world's greatest artists went through Unova's art show loop. I need to try and make myself a legacy, and the only way I can do that is by going to Unova…" I said.
"But… Tracey… then…" Misty paused and started to cry. "I don't know. I want to come with you. But if I leave the gym to my sisters, they'll be losing gym badges faster than they can stock them" she told me. "Misty, the art show circuit lasts only 5 months, and it starts in 2 weeks. After those 5 months, I'll come to Cerulean. I swear on my life I will Misty" I tried to convince her.
She hugged me softly, and we walked off of the dance floor. We sat down at one of the couches in the room, and decided to talk this through. "So… will we have to keep up this long distance calling? Tracey before this I hadn't seen you in person for 4 months! I don't know if I can keep this up" Misty cried. She started sobbing. "All I want is to have a normal relationship. All I want is to be loved" she sobbed. "Misty… I didn't know that's how you felt…" I told her. "How the hell did you not know? I've felt like this for almost a year! I've felt different and in a bad way" Misty moped, "and it wasn't your fault, it was nobody's. Life just sucked. From the robbery of the gym, to my sisters, life isn't exactly a walk in the park…".
I felt bad Misty felt that way, and it made me feel like an inconsiderate piece of crap. "Misty… come with me. If your life isn't going well, then I see no point in you staying. We can go to Unova together!" I told her. "If your sisters are horrible to you, then leave the gym to them so they can deal with it! Besides, you work too hard. You could use a break" I told her. "You know what? I will go with you. My sisters need to suffer, and leaving is the perfect way to do it!" Misty echoed. I was glad to see her back to her normal self.
Ash's POV
May dragged me off to an area no one else was. She said she wanted to talk to me about something important.
"Ash? I just wanted to tell you that… I miss all the travels we used to have back when we were kids. I missed those days. But when I walked through that door and saw you in person, those memories came flowing back into my mind. Sure, I've become a world renown coordinator, but it doesn't feel the same when I have no one to share it with. When I won a contest back then, you always made me feel like a superstar. I remember when we had a thing when we were younger, but when those memories came back into my head, I realized something" she paused. She pulled me closer and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm in love with you. I used to think it was a crush, but even though you weren't with me, you were the reason I worked so hard. I wanted you to be proud of me, and think I was a great person" May told me.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. May was in love with me!? YES! "May… I already think you're a great person. I know how smart, funny, and not to mention full of personality you are. Whenever you smile, I feel happy too" I told her. I kissed her. She looked surprised when I did this, and I pulled back. "I've loved you since the Wallace Cup" I told her. "I loved you since I first saw you…" she replied.
"Hey!" I heard a girl's voice. "What are you doing!?" I turned around and saw Serena, and she looked PISSED. "What are we… doing?" May questioned what they were doing. "Trying to take my Ash away from me are you May?" Serena told her. Wait a minute, I wasn't "her Ash", I belonged to no one. "Ash doesn't belong to anyone Serena. He has his right to choose who he wants to be with" May told her. "But I've known him longer! Ash and I are destined to be together! We met when we were kids, and we travelled together too! I've known him longer than anyone here!" Serena yelled at May.
Pretty soon after that, everyone went to where Serena and May were arguing. "What's going on?" Dawn asked. "I'm pretty sure that my sister and Serena are having a cat fight over Ash" Max made a smart mouth remark. "Enough!" I shouted. "Serena, I love May and there's nothing that can change that. I'm sorry Serena…" I said reassuring her. Serena ran out the door, and Clemont ran to comfort her.
Serena's POV
I couldn't believe it. I'd made a fool of myself infront of everyone. I ran out of the room. Clemont came out of the room too. "It's okay Serena" he tried to comfort me. "No it's not! I wasted almost a full year trying to get him to see me as more than a friend! Now all of that effort was for nothing…" I began to cry. "Serena… think of all the other amazing things you've done. You're in the master class, you've raised 3 amazing Pokemon, and you've earned Palermo's interest in you, which is huge! Serena, what I'm trying to say is that you've done so much more than just try to get with Ash. You're a smart, beautiful, and talented person who shouldn't be wounded by another girl taking your crush" Clemont told me.
He was right. I was so much more than this. I had accomplished so much on my journey, that I didn't need to get upset over this. "Thank you Clemont…" I said as I hugged him. Sometimes, a little pep talk is all you need. "I'll go back inside now" I told him. "So will I then" Clemont replied. We went back into the party and everyone turned to us. "Ash, May, I'm sorry about reacting the way that I did. I should've never done that. But I've realized something too. I've loved Ash ever since I first met him. He found love with someone who makes him happy. I couldn't tear him from happiness. I love him too much for that…" I said. People started clapping, and cheering. Ash walked up to me and said, "That was beautiful Serena. Thank you".
"To Ash and his achievements!" Brock finally spoke up. "To Ash and his achievements!" everyone cheered. As everyone did a round of cheers, Ash pulled May into the center of the circle and kissed her. Once I looked past all my jealousy, I felt happy for him. Tonight's party was a ton of fun.
Me: Just something I wrote. When you've written a ton and focused all your writing on one series, you sometimes want to do something different. That's what this is. It's a party that kinda popped into my head. Anyways, I'm out so see ya later. Peace.
