Till Death

Chapter one

"A friend visits"

It was another day in the small town of Pallet where a trainer by the name of Vanessa had returned home from Johto. The air blew Vanessa light brown hair out of it's place. Vanessa brushed the hair away from her face and took a big breath of country air. Next to the trainer was a white and cream Pokémon.

"It's nice to back home right Furrent? The trainer asked her Pokémon

"Furrent!" the Pokémon cheerfully replied

"Well let's go see the Professor" Vanessa suggested

The Pokémon nodded and followed his trainer. Soon they were at the Professor's lab. Vanessa pushed the old gates.

"The Professor should really just these gates oiled"

Vanessa continued on with Furrent by her side. Soon they were inside the lab and the Professor was on his computer looking at a half pink contest ribbon.

"Professor Ketchum, I'm back"

The Professor turned around on his chair and saw Vanessa was back from her journey from Johto. Professor Ketchum was still young. His looks looked like he was in his early twenties. His still had the lush black hair and his furry yellow rodent, Pikachu by his side.



"Well it's nice to see you again Vanessa" Ash replied

"It's nice to see you again Professor" The young trainer replied

Ash got up from his chair and went to Vanessa. Pikachu went up to greet Furrent. They were very happy to see each other. They started to play. Ash and Vanessa were happy to see their Pokémon happy.

"So how was your journey in Johto Vanessa?" Ash asked

"Well I got up to the top five" Vanessa replied with disappointment

"There's nothing to be disappointed about Vanessa. When I was on my journeys I didn't win every championship"

"Really?" Vanessa asked

"Yeah"

Vanessa saw Ash was still holding a pink contest ribbon.

"Professor?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Why do you always look at that ribbon?"

Ash didn't reply.

"Is something wrong Professor?" Vanessa asked

"No" Ash replied with a tone of suddenness in his voice

Vanessa wasn't convinced. So Vanessa asked the same question again.



"Why do you always look at that ribbon then?"

"It's a long story Vanessa" Ash said as he turned his back on Vanessa and start to walk away

"I have the time to listen"

Ash stopped and turned around to face Vanessa.

"Well I guess it's okay for you to tell my story about this ribbon" Ash replied as he look at the pink contest ribbon

"Great!" Vanessa smiled

Ash and Vanessa sat on a sofa in the guest room. It took a while for Ash to start talking. Ash soon took a breath and started to talk"

"Well it all happened when I was in the middle of my Sinnoh journey…"

Flashback

"Really May? Your coming over here?" Ash said in excitement

"Yep!" May smiled

Dawn grabbed the phone off Ash.

"So why are you coming over here May?" Dawn asked

"Is it bad for a friend to come visit her friend?" May asked

"Of course not May?" Dawn giggled

Ash grabbed back the phone off Dawn.

"So when are you coming here then?" Ash asked

"Tomorrow" May replied

"That's great" Ash smiled

"Well I better go now Ash, I better start packing"

"Okay then"

There was a bit of silence over the phone.

"May, you can drop the phone now"

"Oh yeah I forgot" May giggled

"We'll see you tomorrow then"

"Yeah"

"Cya"

"Cya"

Ash ended the call. Dawn approached Ash.

"So what did she say?" Dawn asked

"She's coming tomorrow" Ash replied

"Yay!" Dawn said as she jumped around the poke center

"Well let's have dinner now. We have a big day in front of us" Brock said as he joined the conversation

"Sure" Ash and Dawn said at the same time

The three all headed to the cafeteria in the poke center. Ash had a happy feeling inside of him. For the first time in h is life he was glad to hear May's voice again. Normally he used to hate hearing the young brunette voice but this time it was different. He was happy to hear the annoying voice of May.

Everyone was now at the cafeteria now. Pikachu was eating ketchup like usual. Dawn was having noodles and Brock was having chicken corn soup. Ash was too busy looking at the half pink contest ribbon he won with May before they parted ways. Dawn saw Ash looking at the ribbon. She saw a happy reaction on Ash's face.

"Look likes someone's in love" Dawn teased

"What? Me in love?" Ash said with a big bright red blush on his face

"Yep" Dawn replied

"What makes you say that?" Ash asked

"You're blushing" Dawn replied as she pinched his nose

"Ouch that hurt Dawn" Ash said as he rubbed his nose

"Love hurts Ash" Dawn teased again

"Shut up" Ash replied

Ash got up and headed upstairs.

"Where are you going Ash?" Brock asked

"To get away from cupid" Ash replied

Ash headed upstairs and into the bedroom. Ash laid on the bottom bunk bed, staring at the ribbon once again. "Why do I always look at this ribbon? Since May called I just can't stop looking at you" Ash thought to himself. Then Ash remembered what Dawn said earlier. "Look likes someone's in love". "Love? Yeah right. May and I are friends, nothing more, but how come I feel something more?" Ash asked himself. Ash sat up and went to the balcony and looked at the night sky. Ash took a big 

breath. Ash looked at the ribbon again. "I feel something more. Could it be?" Ash shook his head to get that thought out of his head. Then Pikachu entered the room.

"Pika?" the little yellow mouse asked in a caring way

Ash shifted his eyes from the ribbon to Pikachu.

"It's nothing Pikachu" Ash replied

The little mouse wasn't convinced. The little yellow Pokémon hopped on Ash's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against Ash's. Ash patted Pikachu on the head.

"Come on Pikachu. Let's head to bed. May's coming tomorrow" Ash said to his furry companion

"Pikachu!" Pikachu smiled

The two head into bed before the others. Soon Brock and Dawn went to bed but Ash still couldn't fall asleep. He was too excited to sleep. Ash didn't know why he was this excited. He was excited when Misty came to visit him but he wasn't THIS excited. Ash was too excited. Ash looked at the ribbon again. It was about 2am when Ash fell asleep. Holding the ribbon in his hand.
