Exposing the Truth!
Part One
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sparkling lights reflected off the pool's water, creating a flashing effect on its surface. Tables and chairs surrounded the pool, all set for use that night.
Ash Ketchum walked around, putting finishing touches to the venue. 'Tonight is going to be great,' he thought as he looked around his Goldenrod home. He had gained all his badges, competed in all the leagues to date and made quite a name for himself. Right now he was taking a break and getting ready for his twenty first-birthday party that night. He'd invited everyone that he'd been close to throughout his journey, all the guys that is. He was going to have a guys' party and Brock had promised a special surprise. Ash chuckled to himself, only needing one guess as to what that 'surprise' was. 'Probably some Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny.' Ash felt a shiver up his spine as he remembered what had happened at Brock's 21st.
Not wanting to replay the images in his mind, he busied himself around the house, checking that he had enough drinks for the night. He looked over at the kitchen clock and smiled. "Just three hours to go."
"Pikapi?"
"Ohh Pikachu. Time to take you to the Pokemon Center for the night." Ash picked up his other pokéballs and smiled at his best friend.
Pikachu jumped up onto Ash's shoulder and smiled back. "Pikachu pika chu chu pikachu Pikapi?"
"You can't stay because there's going to be drink and I don't want a repeat of the last party we went to." Ash looked at Pikachu who scratched the back of his head, a habit he'd gotten from Ash. "I don't want Nurse Joy giving out to me for having a drunk Pikachu again so you and the others are staying with her." Ash headed out of the house and locked the door. He headed towards the Pokemon Center and thought about the party. "I can't wait."

Ash broke away from the laughing group to go over and answer the door. He pulled it open and grinned. "Hey Richie."
"Hey Ash. Great to see you again." The brown haired, twenty year old handed Ash a small package wrapped in silver paper. "Happy birthday."
"Thanks. Come on in," Ash said as he took the present and stood back, holding the door open.
Richie thanked Ash and came in. Ash shut the door again and looked around the living room. It was packed all ready, and it was only ten o' clock. He put the present into his room with the others and went back into the living room. He grabbed his can of beer and re-joined his group.
Brock sat in the middle, spilling the details of his date last night, much to the other guys' enjoyment. Ash laughed and shook his head, taking a gulp of his drink.
"How was she Brock?" Gary asked, listening intently to every detail.
"Ohh Gary," Brock grinned and held his can up, "you haven't lived until you've spent a night with her!"
Gary grinned back at him and laughed. "Of course, you say that about every girl you meet."
"True, but blonds always rock my boat."
"Brock, do you ever talk about anything else?" Ash butted in, much to Gary's disappointment.
"Sure I do. My pokemon breeding center is always a main topic in my conversations," Brock stated and lounged back in the armchair.
"Yeah, when he's not drooling over that assistant he's got," Tracey muttered to Ash and they laughed.

Two hours passed and the party was still going strong.
"Well I'd say that everyone's here that's going to be here. How about we move out to the pool?" Ash asked and the others nodded. Most of the guys, consisting of Gym leaders, friends and friends' friends, left the house and started to party outside. The music blared from the speakers and the beer flowed.
Ash was dancing around and singing along to the song playing, along with a few others, when a blue haired guy came out and went over to Brock. He took him aside and whispered in his ear. Brock grinned and said something to him before they laughed and parted. Brock went over to the microphone and turned down the music a bit, so that he could be heard.
"All right guys, I've arranged some entertainment for you all! In honour of Ash's turning twenty-one, I've gone and gotten the best damn girl in the whole of Goldenrod for ya!" He grinned with satisfaction as all the guys in the house cheered and waved their cans around.
Ash joined in and looked around. 'Wonder where she is,' he thought and turned back to Brock.
Brock jumped down and went over to Ash. "She didn't come cheap so you had better like her." He punched Ash's shoulder playfully and went to take his seat, as close to the makeshift stage as he could get.
Ash made his way over to a seat at the side but was stopped by Gary and Tracey.
"Ohh no Ash, you don't sit here," Gary said grinning.
"I don't?" Ash looked at them, confused.
"Nope. It's your party so you get the throne," Tracey said and nodded to a chair that they had put right on the stage, covered with a red tablecloth.
Ash's face flushed and he looked from Gary to Tracey and back again. "I'm not going up there!"
"Ohh yes you are. Best seat in the house." Gary and Tracey dragged Ash up to the seat and sat him down. "And just to make it more fun, you're going to be blindfolded for a bit."
"Ohh come on guys!" Ash looked down helplessly at the laughing faces. They'd set this all up and not told him.
Brock came over and tied a black blindfold around Ash's eyes. "Lucky dog. Enjoy the show!" he laughed and they left Ash sitting there.
Ash gripped the chair's arms and took deep breaths to calm himself down. Soon he relaxed and was starting to look forward to his 'treat'. He sat back in the chair and smiled. "So when's she getting here?"
"That's the spirit. She's here now," Brock called over to him and Ash heard the music change to a deep and sexy song.
Ash sat up a little when all the guys around him suddenly started cheering and whistling. He heard a few gasps and then felt a hand stroke across his face. Ash grinned and followed the hand, starting to rise from the chair. But he was pushed back down and he felt the weight of an extra body on his lap. He was now sitting on the edge of the chair with a girl sitting straddled on him. His heart was pounding and he longed to look at the girl.
She started to kiss Ash and she took one of his hands, putting it on her breast. Ash's blindfolded eyes grew wide when he felt the bare skin under his hand and he tried to pull his hand away but the girl held it there. She took his other hand and did the same, placing it on her other breast and squeezing his hands, while still kissing him.
When she wrapped her hands around his neck he was finally able to take his hands away, dropping them to hold her slender waist. He was starting to enjoy the kissing when the girl pulled away from him and stood up off of his lap. He guessed by the cheering crowd that she was doing some dancing for them. He sighed deeply and sat back in the chair, waiting for her to come back.
A minute later his hands were grabbed and he was pulled up out of the chair. He just stood there, totally lost as to what was happening. He could hear some of the guys talking to each other and some, or should I say most, of the others were cheering their heads off.
'What's going on?' Ash nervously thought. Just as he thought that he felt a pair of hands running over his chest and he froze. The girl was standing behind him, leaning against him and wrapping her hands around him. She ran her hands over his chest and down to his stomach. Ash gulped as she pulled up his t-shirt and rubbed her hands over his stomach. Her hands reached the top of his pants and he felt her stick her thumbs into his pockets. He suddenly felt really glad that he'd emptied his pockets earlier and left his money on his bed. That feeling vanished as the girl slipped her hands down the front of his pants.
"WHOA!" he yelled and pulled her hands out, jumping forward a step. He spun around and put his hands up in a defensive manner. "No way! Hands away from there!"
"Ohh come on," he heard the girl say. "Don't you want a girl like me?"
The crowd of guys yelled out "YEAH HE DOES!" but Ash wasn't so sure he did.
"I don't even know what you look like, emm, miss."
"Well then," she said as she ran her hands over his shoulders, "maybe we should take off that blindfold of yours, hmm?"
Before Ash could say another word the blindfold was pulled off from around his eyes. He stumbled back a few steps and rubbed his eyes, letting them adjust to the sudden light before he looked around. He was facing the guys so he turned around slowly to see the girl that had been dancing with him. He gasped and his jaw dropped at the girl that stood in front of him. Not only was she the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen, but also to make it better (for him) she was standing there in just high-heeled shoes and a g-string. He looked up to her face and felt the air rushing from his lungs. She had a face that reminded Ash of an angel but for some reason, he felt like he knew her. He noticed that his mouth was hanging open and he quickly shut it, blushing madly.
She was looking at him as if she knew him too. She folded her arms across her bare chest and tilted her head slightly, looking him over. "Do I know you?"
"I was going to ask you the same question. What's your name?" Ash asked.
"What are you two talking about? You're messing up the show Ketchum!" someone from the crowd yelled up.
"Ketchum?" The girl looked at Ash with slightly wider eyes.
Ash snorted back at whoever had yelled at him. "Yeah. I'm Ash Ketchum. And you are?" He turned back to the girl.
"Ash, it's me. Misty."
"WHAT?!"
